Bill Maher, Dr. Phil clash after daytime talk show host refuses to say Trump is worse than Biden

Late-night host Bill Maher and daytime host Dr. Phil McGraw got into a heated exchange after the TV doctor refused to say that former President Trump is worse than President Biden.

On Sunday’s installment of Maher’s “Club Random” podcast, McGraw teased his upcoming project as his long-running syndicated talk show ends later this year, telling Maher he intends to tackle “concerns” facing the country since its “headed for a cliff.”

“Major reasons being?” Maher asked.

“Well, it depends on what category you want to talk about,” McGraw responded. “And look… I stayed non-political because I think there’s idiocy on both sides… I’m not a big fan of our president or the last one, but I respect the office of the president.”

Maher took pause at how McGraw referred to Trump and Biden “in the same breath,” individuals he stressed are “very different people.”

Why isn’t Dr Phil calling out Maher from trying to bully and manipulate? Very strange.

[eddietaylor]

It's almost like these famous ppl are scared us regular ppl are going to vote him back in so they won't let it go 😂😂😂😂

[douglassduplassie]

Bill maher is not of this world or interested in current events. I'm glad Dr Phil didn't go a long with that BS.

[Hartleymolly]

I DONT GAF, I want a cheaper life. End of story.

[Jimii]

They got into a heated exchange? What are you talking about? Nothing about this was a heated exchange. I listened to the entire podcast.

[deadname...]

I'm not a big Trump fan, but he was a much better President than Biden.

[BG-npyc]

If I were Dr Phil, I'd ask why it is so important for Maher to hear those words.

[SylvanAB-HVGB]

You didn’t include Dr. Phil’s expounding on his response that said we have a cultural problem in America, not a political one.

[Seanpfree]

Stealing bill mahers content for views

[wichard]

I agree to Bill, Trump is a different animal in both sides of political parties. And that is why he must be the great leader of America.

[wolf]

Dr Phil could agree with Maher, but then they would both be wrong

[williamjohnson]

Dr Philbo's idea of 50/50 R/D control really omits the key info that Democrats and Republicans have flipped ideologies over time😂😅😊

[haightashburymusic]

what determines HUGE FACTOR OBVIOUSLY, "my dog"

[RosalieMurray-yqor]

It's ridiculous that Maher thinks Biden is anything but a horrible president. Maybe the economic tragedy since Biden has created doesn't affect Maher, or our military weakness...etc. etc. etc
I wish Maher was asked to name one positive thing Biden did?

[psycprofessor]

How could anyone be worse for our country that what Biden has done to us?!? Our entire country has changed for the worst in every way imaginable since Biden took office…and I used to be a democrat. 😢

[dyeeman]

"He is a completely different element and much more dangerous" to whom? The ruling establishment? Exactly why I support him.

[LadyAtheOnly]

Of course he won’t say it. Not surprised at all.

[ralphholiman]

I can understand not liking Trump, he can be very unlikable. But how could any rational person think he was a worse President than Biden? I'm not sure there is any President who has been worse than Biden. I mean it's not like we don't have some pretty objective economic markers, like fuel prices, inflation, unemployment as well as the numbers of illegal border crossings, for Trump and Biden.

This kinda reminds me of when kaitlan collins was trying to get Trump to say he wants Russia to win the war. Let’s not forget the most human response ever “I just want people to stop dying.”

[jdsguam]

Maher just lost whatever credibility he was trying to garner. What a simpleton!
