Larry is joined by comedian Bill Maher in front of a live audience at Live Talks L.A. to discuss his new book, What This Comedian Said Will Shock You. They begin by shining a light on how Bill compiled his favorite editorials from Real Time with Bill Maher for the book and contrasting the focus of the hit HBO series with the celebrity-formatted vibes of his previous show, Politically Incorrect. This leads to a conversation about the difficulties of staying true to your artistic principles in modern culture and how to deal with the specter of white guilt in the internet age (9:01). They then pivot to the presidential race between Biden and Trump, and analyze the prevalence of self-imposed ignorance in both major political parties and society at large (33:29). After the break, Larry and Bill answer hot-button questions from some of the event attendees (52:45).
