Bill Maher Loses It on ‘Assh*le’ Fan Crashing His Monologue

MAHER: “Thank you, people. Thank you, people. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Please, there’s so much news to get to. Thank you. All right.”
(Applause)
Well —-
(Applause)
Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you, love this crowd. Thank you. Please. Thank you so much. As I always say, I know why you’re happy today. No, I really don’t.
(Laughter)
Well, I guess, you know, if you don’t like what’s going on in Washington, it was the first real true big scandal of the Trump Administration. The entire national security team was — you know, they’re on a group chat. So the Houthis in Yemen have been bombing, have been attacking the shipping lanes. So maybe they do need a good bombing. But OK, so the entire national security team, I’m talking about the Secretary of Defense, the Vice President, the head of the CIA, Department of Homeland Security. All these people are on this. Nine people on a crowd, group chat, on Signal, which is safer than a normal, you know, just text — but I have it. It’s not like it’s super — you know, okay. And then they loop it — so it’s supposed to be nine people, our defense — they loop in a Reporter — what are you, taking a f**king picture? No taking pictures during the monologue, a**hole! Could you take this guy’s phone away and throw him out? No, you don’t have to throw him out. F**king rude as sh*t, that guy! Anyway, so — he’s on Signal, this guy, by the way.
(Cheering and Applause)
I hate it when even your fans are a**holes, you know? Anyway…”
