‘Shut the F**k Up!’ Bill Maher Has to Force Michael Moore to Take Breath As He Excitedly Predicts ‘Landslide Against the Traitors!’
Comic and pundit Bill Maher had to tell activist and filmmaker Michael Moore to “shut the f**k up” after five solid minutes of Moore excitedly gushing about a midterm landslide for Democrats.
Political conditions have improved significantly for Democrats over the summer, but Moore — the guest on Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher — took it to eleven when the host asked for his take on the midterms:
MICHAEL MOORE: But I honestly believe, Bill and you know, you and I are are two well-known pessimists, I think, and and I have never felt this optimistic.

I was just saying, when I look, I’m out, I’m around. You know, I’m from the Midwest. I think I had a pretty good sense of what was going to happen. I think the opposite is going to happen this time. I think that that there is going to be such a landslide against the traitors, especially the 147 Republicans who just hours after the insurrection voted to not certify the elected president of the United States, Joe Biden.

I want to thank the Supreme Court for reminding women that they are, in fact, second-class citizens and and taking their rights away like this. There are so many. I don’t know if you’ve seen the list of states, starting with Kansas, which, by the way, 60% of the people in Kansas…
(continues for three solid minutes like this)
MICHAEL MOORE: …I think there’s a real revolution, a nonviolent revolution going on in favor of democracy. People don’t want to lose it. We will have course we are confusing and we can’t lose.
BILL MAHER: Michael Moore. Now let’s meet our panel.
MICHAEL MOORE: I’m sorry!
BILL MAHER: I’m sorry. Question two!
MICHAEL MOORE: I’m just excited. We’re going to get rid of these people that are trying to tear the country down. We’re going to get rid of them. I’m excited about it.
BILL MAHER: I see. You know, we have some Republicans watching this show. We are we are for all Americans on this show.
MICHAEL MOORE: So I don’t know. But that’s why we should…
BILL MAHER: Yeah, I know, I know. Shut the fuck up! Shut up right now and answer one other question. Okay?
