Bill Maher’s guest explains what happens when Flock cameras get it wrong. Spoiler: proving your innocence becomes your job. Jeremy Peters told the story of how cops confronted a woman at her door for “stealing packages.” Their evidence was a Flock camera that caught her car. The woman didn’t do it. And the only thing that saved her was footage from her own vehicle, because the officer refused to show her the video he claimed to have. MAHER: “You know what Flock cameras are? I guess everybody does. They’re everywhere, right? And they record everything. They record every car that passes, the license plate. There’s obviously been some things that no one could defend, like cops using them to track their old girlfriends or new girlfriends... They also have stopped a lot of crime. So where do you land on this?” JEREMY PETERS: “I mean, cops make a lot of mistakes, and so do prosecutors, right? And the story I’ve read about this is talking about a woman, I think in Atlanta (really Colorado), who the cops came to her house and they were like, ‘You robbed packages from this doorstep.’ And she’s like, ‘No, I didn’t.’ They said, ‘Yes, your car is right here. We have it on tape.’” PETERS: “She had to prove to them, only because she had dash cam footage herself of her vehicle, that she didn’t do it.” ADDED CONTEXT: The woman is Chrisanna Elser, and it happened in Colorado, not Atlanta. In September 2025, a Columbine Valley sergeant handed her a summons for a package theft based on Flock footage of her truck. She asked to see the video. He refused and said: “If you go to court, you can. If you’re going to deny it, I’m not going to extend you any courtesy.” The officer added, “You know we have cameras in that town. You can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out of that place without us knowing.” Else found the real theft video herself on Nextdoor, then pulled the footage from her truck, proving she didn’t do it. The police voided the summons, and the officer later faced disciplinary action.

Bill Maher MOCKS Democrats for the “crazy stuff” that is STILL costing them elections: “They can’t define a woman,” and “they think the WNBA should be full of men.” He says the country thinks they “lost their minds.” MAHER: “The Democrats made it a lot easier for [Republicans] by harping on cultural issues where the country thought they had lost their minds. I feel like the elections we’re having these days are still that.” “The Democrats are saying, ‘These guys are crooks, and inflation is still high. We can do better, and we can give you healthcare.’ And the other people are saying, ‘Yeah, but they want to get rid of Thanksgiving. We like Thanksgiving.’” “And then they can’t define a woman, and they think the WNBA should be full of men, and just crazy stuff. And so they kind of opened the door for that.” A New York Times/Ipsos poll found 79% of Americans say trans athletes should not compete in women’s sports. That includes 94% of Republicans and even 67% of Democrats. The party is losing this issue with its own base and still won’t drop it. Follow @VigilantFox 🦊 More Stories: VigilantFox.com

A New York Times reporter tells Bill Maher that Democratic Socialists “struggle to articulate” how they aren’t communists. When even the Times says it out loud, this is no longer just a right-wing talking point. MAHER: “Two stories from this week, I think, will show you that this has now infected our political discourse. Megan Romer, she is the co-chair of the DSA. She was on David Remnick’s podcast, and she talked about taxing the hell out of them. And he said, what do you mean by that? And she said, well, you know, I don’t really have a solid, and then just dribbled off. And he said, ‘But shouldn’t you? Shouldn’t you be more specific about what taxing the hell means?’ They don’t know anything.” JEREMY PETERS: “By the way, there’s been a slew of interviews just like this where candidates who represent the Democratic Socialists of America have really struggled to articulate how they don’t subscribe to communism, whether or not they really believe in Marxism, and basic facts about how their ideology would help them govern the United States out of this affordability crisis.” “By and large, a lot of these candidates come out of the activist wing of the party... They’re very into reading Karl Marx and left-wing theory, and we’ve seen time and time again that a lot of them just don’t withstand the scrutiny.” The DSA’s Marxist Unity Group caucus states its own goal is to create “a fully liberated classless society. In a word, communism.” When they tell you who they are, believe them. Follow @VigilantFox 🦊 More Stories: VigilantFox.com

Bill Maher’s audience groans after he informs them the University of Michigan is DOING AWAY with grades because “sometimes a kid gets a bad grade and it makes them sad.” MAHER: “Let’s talk about higher education, shall we? ... University of Michigan.” PETERS: “Where I went, yes… I wish I wouldn’t have had grades. That would have been great!” MAHER: “Right. They are going to no grades now, and the reason given…” BASH: “Just as freshmen or for the whole thing?” MAHER: “I’m not sure about that. Doesn’t matter. It’s ridiculous! And they’re saying it because sometimes a kid gets a bad grade and it makes them sad." [Audience groans] MAHER: “I’m not making that up!” MAHER: “I mean, I know Trump University is a scam, but when there’s no grades, isn’t that a scam too?” “This is not just the beginning of the rot in higher education. It started long ago when they stopped teaching people things because they became indoctrination centers.” Starting fall 2027, Michigan freshmen won’t see a single letter grade on their transcript for their first semester. Just “pass” or “no credit.” The university says the reason for this is to “curb the mental health crisis unfolding among college-aged individuals.” TRANSLATION: “It makes them sad.” Follow @VigilantFox 🦊 More Stories: VigilantFox.com

Bill Maher tells a CNN anchor and a New York Times reporter to their faces that Gaza is not a genocide and the left only says it because “that’s as deep as they go.” Maher’s rant started when he brought up Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, whom he called “Obama-esque.” But Maher says there is one thing holding him back that Democrats won’t admit out loud: he’s Jewish. MAHER: “He’s kind of Obama-esque when he speaks, and he really lit into Trump in a way that people seem to be, certainly on the left, thirsting for. And the problem is he’s Jewish. I mean, I know we don’t want to talk about that, but we need to talk about that because that is the situation in the Democratic Party." "They think Gaza is a genocide. It is not. There’s an actual meaning into the word genocide. It doesn’t come close." "And they've all just signed on to this because they’re just big on buzzwords and lawn signs and bumper stickers. That’s as deep as they go.” BASH: “And likes on their social media.” MAHER: “And likes. So you have to say it. There was a Congressman Scott Wiener. He’s... going to take Nancy Pelosi’s seat in San Francisco, and he wasn’t saying genocide and they [leftists] surrounded him, a mob, and yelled at him and said 'You’re not gay.' He’s gay. 'You're not really gay unless you' — what the f*ck does that have to do with genocide?” MAHER: “‘Say it!’ And he did [say genocide] because the Democrats are cowards. What a coward!” It turns out that “Queers for Palestine” is not just a slogan but a demand. Say “genocide” or you’re not gay. Follow @VigilantFox 🦊 More Stories: VigilantFox.com

New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters admits to Bill Maher that the DSA’s stated goal is not only to take over the Democratic Party but to “take out the entire constitutional system.” Maher says what they really want is communism, and you don’t even have to dig deep to prove it. PETERS: “They’re not running to be members of the Democratic Party. They’re running, many of them anyway, as Democratic Socialists. It’s a totally different political organization. And in fact, they want to take out the Democratic Party. I mean, that’s their stated goal. They not only want to take out the Democratic Party, they want to take out the entire constitutional system that the Democratic Party is allowed to participate in governance.” MAHER: “And they like communism. I proved it here a couple of weeks ago just by quoting them. They use the word a lot. They’re not actually trying to hide it, although if you ask them they will deny it.” Cea Weaver, Zohran Mamdani's appointed tenant advocate have previously said things like: • “Elect more communists” • “Seize private property!” • “Private property, including and kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership, is a weapon of white supremacy…” When they tell you who they are, believe them.

CNN’s Dana Bash looks uncomfortable as Bill Maher says the Democratic Party is fine with faith “as long as that faith isn’t Jewish.” BASH: “James Talarico wears his faith on his sleeve in a way that he believes will help him.” MAHER: “Well, in the Democratic Party, as long as that faith isn’t Jewish, you’re good.” BASH: “Which, well, you said it, but…” MAHER: “Yeah, I said it because it’s true!” Pew Research (April 2026) found 80% of Democrats now hold an unfavorable view of Israel, up from 53% in 2022. Among Republicans, it’s 41%. Follow @VigilantFox 🦊 More Stories: VigilantFox.com

Bill Maher cuts off Hunter Biden mid-rant to remind him that his own father and "every Democrat" swore Iran could never have a nuclear weapon. HUNTER: “[Jared Kushner] is our unelected, unappointed emissary to the Middle East for war that nobody asked for. It’s absurd!” MAHER: “Not nobody.” HUNTER: "What?" MAHER: “Not nobody." HUNTER: "Oh, that's true. Bibi Netanyahu asked for it." MAHER: "Your father. Excuse me! every Democrat said Iran can't have nuclear weapons.” HUNTER: “Every president since Jimmy Carter refused what the Israelis wanted which was to bomb Iran. The only person who fell for it was Donald Trump.” On July 14, 2022, Joe Biden signed a joint declaration with Israel vowing to use “all elements of its national power” to keep Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon. A day earlier, he said he was willing to use force against Iran if necessary to ensure they never get a nuke. Follow @VigilantFox 🦊 More Stories: VigilantFox.com

Jeffrey Tucker reveals the one favor Anthony Fauci asked of Trump at their very first Oval Office meeting. Naomi Wolf's jaw drops. Then she says, "This is gigantic," and that it needs to be investigated. TUCKER: "At Fauci's very first meeting with Trump in the Oval Office, the very first one, this is like early February 2020, Fauci used all of his capital and credibility to make one ask of Trump." "Which is that on a phone call that [Trump] was going to have with Xi Jinping in the next couple of days, please ask [the] President of China if he will host a delegation from the World Health Organization, so that Fauci's assistant Clifford Lane could go and tour Wuhan to observe the greatness of China's lockdowns." "I think Tedros [WHO Director-General, close to Xi Jinping] wanted to have this meeting. Xi Jinping says 'The only way we're going to get this meeting is if Trump actually asks him for it personally.' So Fauci used his own personal capital to ask Trump to ask Xi Jinping for this meeting." WOLF: "This is gigantic! ... For all we know, Dr. Fauci was, wittingly or unwittingly, executing the will of China. First, funding, as we now know, the gain-of-function research at Wuhan. And then he could have been executing the will of China in rolling out this vaccine, which was so murderous to our population." TUCKER: "That jumped out at me... He reports it in his diary. He says, 'I had my first meeting with Trump in the Oval Office, and this is what I said.'" WOLF: "And then he sent his assistant to Wuhan. That means he knew. What's that about? He knew he was funding gain-of-function research there, but did he know that there was going to be a 'lab leak'? What was that about?" In a separate conversation, Dr. Robert Malone told Steve Bannon that the intelligence community appears to have known about a lab leak event as far back as November 2019, more than a month before the "wet market" story emerged out of China. MALONE: "It appears that there was some event that resulted in infection of human personnel within the WIV [Wuhan Institute of Virology]." "Those are the initial index cases. They occurred sometime around November 2019. Then we had CCP staff move in, eliminate all those viral isolates and the associated records, and the cascade of events came on." BANNON: "You're saying the intelligence community knew all of this beginning in November?" MALONE: "That's what I'm hearing." If the CIA knew, what are the chances Fauci knew, too?

Jemele Hill stuns Don Lemon by DEFENDING Stephen A. Smith after the NABJ hit him with its "Thumbs Down" award. HILL: "So, I'm going to try to attempt to do something that isn't always appreciated, and that is have a little NUANCE." "Have the criticisms of Stephen A been unfair? The answer is no. I think they've been completely fair." "But here's where it gets to me a little thorny. Stephen A has exhibited an actual COMMITMENT to black journalism." "There are a lot of black people who can say Stephen A helped me with my career. He created a segment strictly for black voices on his show. I was one of the black columnists that appeared on his show." "While I don't like a lot of the things that he has said, I also cannot absolve or CANNOT ERASE the contributions he's made." Stephen A. Smith has responded to the "Thumbs Down" award by saying: "I was good enough to have a nationally televised show [First Take] at your conference the last two years. And the year I don't come back with the show is when I get the thumbs down award." "If I was saying it [criticisms] about black female conservatives, you wouldn't have said a word. Which means it's not my credibility that's in question; it’s YOURS." Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY8eU3A2M-Y Follow @VigilantFox 🦊 More Stories: VigilantFox.com

Adam Carolla says Chris Cuomo texted him UPSET that he retweeted one of Cuomo's "bad looks" from COVID. Carolla's message to Cuomo is brutal: CAROLLA: "You said a lot of STUPID SH*T during COVID, and I got a lot of sh*t foisted on me thanks to people LIKE YOU saying a lot of stupid sh*t." "Perhaps you should have shut the f*ck up back then... You ATTACKED people, and now people are rubbing it back in your face. That's how the world works."

Bill Maher shuts down Max Amini mid-sentence after he suggests the Bible and the Quran are the same book with different details. Maher is an atheist. Even he couldn't let that one slide. AMINI: "If they just took the good things [from each holy book] and didn't bother with those very crazy details... the world would have been a lot more balanced." MAHER: "I gotta stop you there, man... It's not really accurate, because the Quran and the Bible are not like the same book, just in a different language. They're just not." "First of all, the Bible is two halves. One is the Prince of Peace, whose message was very different than Muhammad, who was a warrior. Christianity is founded on being a martyr and suffering." "Islam, their best century was their first. They came out of the desert and conquered the whole world, and they didn't do it by asking. It doesn't happen that far, that quickly, by asking. There's a reason why the Saudi Arabian flag is two swords." "Okay, everybody was like that back then. They were just very successful at it. But that influences what's in the book." "The Bible is an anthology of so many different authors over different eras, and some of it is batshit, and some of it is poetry." SIDE NOTE: If you've never read the Bible, no book comes close to the beauty you'll see there. As someone who converted later, I was stunned by the poetic language the first time I read it. You can really sense the Holy Spirit guiding each author. No other book is a more moving read.

Bill Maher says he "doesn't blame" Trump for sneaking off Air Force One in a catering truck while Marco Rubio and the press stayed on the decoy plane. Then Andrew Cuomo jumps in and admits every other president would have done the exact same thing. MAHER: “President Trump foiled the assassins again this week. He jumped on the plane that wasn’t the plane, but he left everybody else on the other plane. If the Iranians were going to shoot down that plane, goodbye, Marco Rubio and a lot of other people. No, I’m not judging here. I’m sure that’s what the Secret Service told him to do." “My question is, because I’ve heard it is the president’s discretion whether he could do that or not. Do you think any other president would have done it differently? Like, say, Jimmy Carter. He was like Mr. Christian Guy. Would he have left his friends on that other plane? What about Obama? What about Reagan?” ANDERSON: “Donald Trump has had a number of credible threats on his life, traced back to the Iranian government. He got his ear shot. So I kind of think if you’re Donald Trump, you do what the Secret Service tells you.” MAHER: “Yeah, I would." CUOMO: "I think they all would.” MAHER: “You think they all would?” CUOMO: “Yeah, I think they would do what the Secret Service said to do. Yes, it’s his decision, but you rarely go against what the Secret Service is advising.” On the decoy plane were Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent, White House staffers, and the traveling press, some of whom had no idea the president was gone and were told to keep their window shades closed. Meanwhile, Trump was smuggled off Air Force One inside a catering truck to a smaller military jet, with Pete Hegseth flying at his side. The White House said he was aboard Air Force One the whole time. Follow @VigilantFox 🦊 More Stories: VigilantFox.com

Bill Maher fires back at Mamdani's "may the most affordable grocery store win" challenge: MAHER: "He’s opening these city-run stores... that will sell meat and bread and other items... for 30% below market rate." “His quote was, the mayor said, ‘I look forward to the competition. May the most affordable grocery store win.’" "Well, it’s not competition if you’re undercutting legitimate businessmen by 30%! I wonder who’s going to win."

CNN commentator earns applause from Bill Maher's liberal audience after heaping PRAISE on Trump Accounts. ANDERSON: "Regardless of what you think about Donald Trump, this is a ‘You got to hand it to him.’ These Trump accounts for young kids... are enormously valuable!" “Compound interest is insane. This is an incredible way to help kids, the next generation." [Applause] The architect of the Trump Accounts recently did the math live for Maria Bartiromo on what a $10/week investment becomes over time. BRAD GERSTNER: “If you start with $1,000 and it’s matched at birth and you save… $10 a week.” “It’s $50,000 at age 18…” “$200,000 at age 30…” “And it’s $1,000,000 at age 55.” Follow @VigilantFox 🦊 More Stories: VigilantFox.com

Bill Maher pulls the numbers on whether Gen Z is really suffering an affordability crisis. He starts with the $20 burrito, then compares their net worth to previous generations. The numbers are staggering. MAHER: “Have you heard about Burrito Gate? ... A student had commented... a burrito shouldn’t cost $20." “It shouldn’t cost $20 because it doesn’t. It costs $20 because this kid factored in somebody bringing it to him in an Uber.” [Audience groans] “You can get one for $2, and you could buy it in the supermarket. And somebody said they feed a family of eight on $20 by buying ingredients like we used to do.” “This is from the Fed. Okay, two-thirds of Americans consider groceries to be unaffordable. Maybe they are, but wages rose in the last decade, including the pandemic, 46%. Food prices rose 34%. So wages outpaced them by the numbers." “What we spend on food at the beginning of the last century, it was 42% of the budget, and then you go through the years, 1965, it was down to 15%. Now it’s under 10%, but including eating out more." “Also, Gen Z, I never realized this until people started writing about it. As they reach their late 20s now, they’re getting much richer than Gen X was. Millennials and Gen Z at age 30, their net worth is around $118,000." “Gen X’s was $53,000, like half of that. But Gen X never complained. You gotta love Gen X. They are the quietest f*cking church mice.” SIDE NOTE: I will say that housing and rent prices are too damn high. But that also doesn't discount the fact that kids these days are way too entitled and think they deserve to have food delivered AND have it be affordable. If you want convenience, it's gonna cost you. Don't complain when you're on a budget and too lazy to make the burrito yourself for 1/10th the price.

Bill Maher explains why the guy who won the $1,000,000,000 jackpot actually didn't win that much money after all. Before taxes even come in, it drops to $450 million, unless you want 30 payments over 29 years. Most people take the lump sum of cash. On top of that, taxes. The federal government takes up to 37%. Then the Illinois government takes another 4.95%. When you crunch all the numbers, the advertised billion-dollar lottery dwindles down to $261 million. That's really good, but not a billion dollars. Your chances of winning the lottery are even worse than getting struck by lightning. Not for the government. They have hundreds of millions of players. And every time someone wins, they win, too.
