New Rule: No Jews, No News | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

In this New Rule segment, Bill Maher argues that criticism of Israel has crossed the line from political discourse into mainstream anti-Semitism. He contends that the intense, singular focus on Israel as a "monster country" is hypocritical when compared to the human rights records of nations like China, Russia, or North Korea, suggesting that the inconsistency reveals an underlying prejudice (0:24-0:56).

• Critique of Democrats: He directs sharp criticism toward the Democratic Party, accusing them of indulging "woke" constituents who have been "brainwashed" by social media narratives rather than correcting them or upholding traditional liberal values regarding the Middle East (6:56-8:11).

Desi Lydic Foxsplains Trump's Big Beautiful Ballroom | The Daily Show

• Geopolitical Tensions: The segment covers the closed-door discussions regarding Taiwan. Reports indicate Xi delivered a firm warning to Trump about the potential for conflict if the issue is handled poorly, leaving Trump seemingly reluctant to discuss the topic afterward (2:29–4:38).
