Gov. Ron DeSantis | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

Florida Governor and 2024 Republican Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis joins Bill on Real Time.

"Lets face it Ron, if this campaign was going well you would not be on this show". That is one of the most brutal face to face-truths I seen on a show.

We’ve come a way to where Ron DeSantis is getting real applause on Real Time. Damn that felt weird.

*Fun fact:* Every time Bill said “we’ll get to that, ” he did not in fact get back to that topic 🤔

[manjus]

"I stand corrected...because I'm wearing orthopedic shoes." LOL!!

[jeffs]

1:15 I feel that joke went over most everyone's heads. "I stand corrected. ... Because I'm wearing orthopedic shoes."

[emorybell]

For DeSantis to be applauded on this show says volumes.

[pjlewisful]

I'm amazed how Bill confidently talks to anyone so candidly.

I remember when Steve Bannon and Kelly Anne Conway etc were on this show ages ago and Bill would tell the crowd 'be nice...' etc when they came out to stop them booing or shouting abuse...now here's DeSantis and the crowd just cheer him, laugh along with him and clap. This isn't the same show it used to be

Bill does a great job of not pulling punches, but not letting these interviews with obvious ideological foes of his fly off the rails either.
He hits hard, but then he backs off a bit so it doesn't get ugly.
He's very talented and savvy. I guess 30 years on the air and you learn a thing or two.

Very impressed that Ron DeSantis and Bill Maher sat down like adults to have real conversation like we are supposed to do. This is how it is supposed to be where each expressed their opinion and agree to disagree. Ron DeSantis may have earned my vote.

Wow. You don’t often see an interview like this in today’s day and age. What a pleasant surprise that they’re calm, polite, and respectful, despite their obvious disagreements.

The Taylor swift joke is having me in stitches

[kellykapowski]

Hard to believe this is actually happening. 😅

[johnspinelli]

That was a lot more respectful and cordial than I expected it to be

[XanetySeven]

The funniest thing bill ever said. “What did you win” 😂

[harrylui]

Did not expect to see a man to wear high heeled shoes, but here we are.

[MuppetCore]

The annoying thing is if Trump went on any of these late night shows—like back in the day, before they despised each other—they would all still probably have a good time.

[mbcoll]

How about accountability for the covid loans to millionaires who just pocketed them?

[DONDONDON]

It's good to have some left-right discussion in stead of just cancelling each other...

[thetrollpatrol]

We need more of these types of DeSantis interviews. A lot more personable
