Bill Maher Makes Bold Admission About Donald Trump’s Marijuana Reclassification Push
On Friday, August 23, Bill Maher said he agrees with President Donald Trump's marijuana rescheduling plan, referencing the August 11 White House briefing room announcement.
Maher argued the move reflects a political calculus: President Donald Trump was poised to get a big political win by reclassifying marijuana, emphasizing that 'Elections are won on the margins,' highlighting narrow gains in Philly, Detroit and Milwaukee.
Guests on the panel raised data doubts, noting that columnist Bruni questioned extrapolations from limited evidence and Harvard's $2.6 billion research funding, saying, 'I don't think one week proves anything'.
Maher reflected that President Donald Trump's frequent reversals on TikTok and cryptocurrency reveal hypocrisy, and Maher said, 'In the future, historians will say this was a very dark time in American history.'
Real Time With Bill Maher is off next week and returns on September 5, with Maher and Dr. Andrew Huberman discussing extreme weather and mRNA vaccine technology.
