Trump Rants, Maher Fires Back - Rogan Takes on Polls

Johnny Mac delivers Election Day comedy news, urging listeners to vote while covering The New York Times report that Trump dictated a Bill Maher rant aboard Air Force One; Maher responds on Real Time with jokes, denies calling or inviting himself to the White House, and riffs on being labeled a “major pothead,” sparking Taylor Swift fan backlash. He recaps Joe Rogan mocking polls as skewed toward people who answer them, criticizing unidentified militarized ICE tactics, and expressing disappointment that Trump’s “no more war” promise didn’t hold. Mac notes John Oliver’s warning that Trump may claim elections are rigged and argues for big Democratic turnout. He summarizes Russell Brand’s lawyer’s closing argument asserting consent and innocence, shares his LAX wallet/ID ordeal resolved via TSA touchless ID, mentions missing the NYC Marathon (2026 grand marshal Tracy Morgan), and highlights SNL UK’s viral “Nigerian Wicked” plus THR’s profile of comedian Laura Ramoso.
