Bill Maher
Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series Real Time with Bill Maher.
Jared Moskowitz
All right.
Bill O'Reilly
He anchors the no Spin news show and his co author, Confronting Evil, Assessing the worst of the worst, Bill O'Reilly. And he's your Democratic congressman representing Florida's 23rd, Jared Moskowitz. Okay, gentlemen, here are the questions from the actual humans. All right. Trump wants to build a new missile defense system called the Golden Dome. Ah, yes, I read about this. That could cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Is that a good use of money?
Bill Maher
Well, I mean, look, he's building, he wants to build an arch on the mall. You know, he's building a place he can dance at the White House and do the ymca. He's gonna do that there. And he wants to build a dome.
Jared Moskowitz
I mean, you gotta protect the dance hall. True, true.
Bill Maher
By the way, I'm very excited. I'm very excited. You know, when, when the Democrats take the White House in 28, the, when we have the ballroom, you know, the, the pride, pride month in February is gonna be great in that ballroom. But yeah, if we can have a message.
Bill O'Reilly
I don't know how serious you are.
Jared Moskowitz
Because he's not, he's not being serious.
Bill O'Reilly
Well, that.
Bill Maher
I wasn't being serious. Look, the missile defense system, we have a lot of technology in space that, you know, that are these advanced technology programs, some of which we don't know how we fund because they're not funded by Congress. We move money around in the Pentagon, but I don't have a problem with that. I think that that's totally fine. I mean, China is. Military capability is absolutely increasing. And I don't have a problem if we do a missile defense program. China's, you know, their technology, they're putting it in space. And so for us doing this, I.
Bill O'Reilly
Have a problem if we don't.
Jared Moskowitz
Yeah.
Bill O'Reilly
Like, just because Trump thought of it, I'm not against it. Something that would stop the increasing number of rogue missiles that are in this world from maybe coming over here and incinerating me.
Jared Moskowitz
Yeah.
Bill O'Reilly
Mark me down as a pro for that. I'm pro having. Now can we do it? I don't know. You know, I read, you know, he says it'll take three years and 180 billion. And they say, well, that's bullshit. It's going to take what? Whatever it is. Of course, everything is over, scheduled and over. Never comes in on time or on budget. But that's, to me, a worthy thing. And the ballroom. I don't give a shit. I really don't give a shit. I was reading shows you, like, how the media is. Everything is always on one side or the other. When he first mentioned it, it was like, all about, oh, my God, he's desecrating the White House. Then I finally read, oh, well, you know, they've done shit to the White House before. It's just a building. I think. Also, like, I realized after reading other people, we don't have a place when they have state dinners. They're doing it in a tent. This is America. So do I give a shit that he's doing this to the White House? I really don't.
Jared Moskowitz
Look, he raised the money privately.
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah. And it's private money, you know, and.
Jared Moskowitz
If Newsom wants to knock it down when he's president, then he can knock it down. Right?
Bill O'Reilly
It gets. Save your ire for the things that matter.
Jared Moskowitz
That's right. They don't know what matters. Well, Ma, you know as well as.
Bill O'Reilly
I do, I don't give a.
Jared Moskowitz
That the media is not in the business any longer of reporting what matters. It's not. They make their money either hating or loving Donald Trump. That's where the cash register is. What matters doesn't matter to them. Okay? You know that.
Bill O'Reilly
Do you think that Mamdani's election will lead more financial organizations to leave New York City for Wall street south in Florida? I've read that term just recently. Wall Street South, Florida. This is your state. What is that?
Bill Maher
A lot of Wall street guys have moved to Palm Beach. It's been happening, really, since COVID It's accelerated with, you know, increases in taxes. It's not just out of New York. It's New Jersey, Connecticut, it's Chicago, it's California.
Bill O'Reilly
So they're fleeing high street tax for Florida.
Jared Moskowitz
This is the luckiest guy in the world that Mandani got elected because his district is going to explode. My house, I live eight miles outside of Queens, has gone up 20% in value since Mandani announced. Okay, because. Because people aren't going to pay the punishing taxes. New York is the highest tax state in the union.
Bill O'Reilly
But you said your house value's gone up.
Jared Moskowitz
Yeah, because you're moving to Nassau county.
Bill O'Reilly
Oh, they're moving out of the city.
Jared Moskowitz
Out of the city. And they can still take the train back in the city and not pay the millionaires tax or whatever crazy thing this guy wants. But what people don't understand is he can't raise the taxes unless the state okays it. And the state is not going to okay it. So this is just smoke and mirrors. And the younger people voted for him. They don't understand that. They don't know what seizing the means of production is. But Ken Griffith does. He's the big wall street titan. He knows what it is, and that's why he's down in palm Beach.
Bill Maher
We'll see if they move. I mean, you saw Bill are going to move. They're already moving on Bill Ackman.
Bill O'Reilly
No, they're not. People say they're going to move all the time after elections. They don't do it.
Bill Maher
Bill Ackman said he was going to move.
Jared Moskowitz
You know how many people moved out of New York City in the last three years? 600,000. They're moving.
Bill Maher
Yeah, they're moving. They've been moving from COVID How many.
Jared Moskowitz
People moved out of your state? California.
Bill O'Reilly
Oh, I know.
Jared Moskowitz
Under Newsom. Yeah.
Bill O'Reilly
No, no. People do move. No doubt about that. People move in America, and you're right. Didn't they?
Jared Moskowitz
No. But they're not moving because they want a better view. They'd like to keep more of their money that they earn.
Bill O'Reilly
That's true. Yeah. You know that's true.
Bill Maher
Florida. Florida is a really good case study. So when desantis became Governor, there were 250,000 more registered Democrats in Florida when he became governor eight years. Eight years ago. Now there's 1.4 million more registered republicans in Florida. That's all migration from COVID and re registration from COVID 100%. So it absolutely is happening. Whether they will abandon New York in droves. I mean, Bill Ackman's a really good example. He said he was going to leave. Right. He's been going after Mamdani. He spent a lot of money on him. And then the day Mamdani won, he said, I'm willing to talk and sit down and work with you. That doesn't sound like he's packing his everybody.
Jared Moskowitz
But look, if you're a person In New York City, earning $150,000, okay. That's a lot of money. For most people in the United States, that's nothing. In New York City, 150k doesn't get you very much. It gets you in and out burgers. Okay. It doesn't get you.
Bill Maher
Which we don't have in New York City.
Jared Moskowitz
Yeah, we don't even have those. And I wish we did, so that the working people at a certain level are going to say, I'm going to the congressman state because there's no state tax there. There's no local tax there. I get to keep more of my money. This isn't complicated.
Bill O'Reilly
Well, I, you know, I've looked at moving because I'd like to keep more of my money, too. And where should Maher move? I'm not moving anywhere. I'm not moving anywhere. No, no, no. Right in the state, and the taxes here are ridiculous. But it's still Southern California, okay? And wherever you move in this world, as soon as you live there for a week, you'll be like, oh, shit, I didn't know they had mosquitoes this big here, or whatever it is. And you're gonna be unhappy there, too.
Jared Moskowitz
Did I miss the fires and the earthquakes?
Bill O'Reilly
No, I don't miss that.
Bill Maher
Okay, we have hurricanes now.
Bill O'Reilly
All right. Do you think Vance or Rubio has a better chance at winning in 2028? Well, they got to wrestle the nomination away from Trump, which is probably not going to happen. Well, I mean, who knows?
Jared Moskowitz
You know, it's a totally different country, what, in 2028, than it is now? Totally different country next year. These nitwits on television. Oh, this is a harbinger of the midterms. You know how many things are going to change in the next 12 months?
Bill O'Reilly
Democrats are going to kill in the midterms for the same reason they killed this week. Democrats are going to wipe.
Jared Moskowitz
Depends. It depends. It depends if the prices come down.
Bill O'Reilly
Well, it's not just the prices. Oh, that's the big. No, it's the perception that the people who get into power are always drunk with power. This administration, some also just drunk. And they don't like it. Like I said at the beginning of the show, they just. Somebody who promises, I'll get back to normal, they want that person to do that. And that's not happening. And I don't see Trump going back. He only knows one direction. And so I think people are going to be unhappy in a year just like that.
Jared Moskowitz
Probably unhappier if the economy gets better. The Fringe of the Democratic Party, which isn't going to change. These are the people who hate Israel. These are the people who are woke. These are the people ramming stuff down your throat. They're going to sabotage the mainstream Democratic Party.
Bill Maher
Well, that may be Bill and other Republicans hope it's going to be about the economy. It's not going to be about the stock market. We live in like five different Americas now. You know, John Edwards used to say there's two Americas. There's like five. Okay. There's many different economies going on and the people are absolutely suffering. I mean, they are. And it hasn't changed in the year that Trump said he was going to change it. And the more he, you know, has women dancing in martini glasses while saying, you're not getting, getting your SNAP benefits.
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah. It's just not a good one.
Bill Maher
Oh, you weren't invited.
Jared Moskowitz
I wasn't. Women in martini glasses. There were no.
Bill O'Reilly
He had, he had a, I didn't hear about that one. But he had a Gats, he had a Gatsby theme. Gatsby Halloween party, which again, I don't give a shit for real about this. This doesn't affect anything. But it is such a bad look. It is just such a bad look.
Jared Moskowitz
I agree.
Bill O'Reilly
I agree. And he doesn't care. And again, this is going to, he's.
Jared Moskowitz
Going to care now. You're going to care now.
Bill Maher
I'll show you, I'll show you the pictures later of the martini. Oh, yeah, no, listen, you were there. No, no, I have the Internet. The, I will say, you know the.
Bill O'Reilly
Internet bill, that thing where you get so many viewers.
Bill Maher
Listen, if you were planning a really nice bar mitzvah. Okay, these were.
Jared Moskowitz
And I am. Are you? Yeah.
Bill Maher
Okay, well, these were life size martini glasses with women dressed. Yeah.
Jared Moskowitz
Let me make one more point because I'll bring next time I talk to President. I'll figure that out. But the most important thing to Donald Trump, and you need to understand this is his legacy and he loses his house or the Senate this time next year, his legacy shot. That's why I'm saying it's going to be a lot of change and a lot of change fast in the next 12 months.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, well, there's a prediction. We'll see how it goes. Let me ask a follow up to the Vance Rubio question. What about Gavin Newsom? Now I mentioned in the monologue he.
Jared Moskowitz
Has hair like you. You guys have the same hair. I.
Bill O'Reilly
I.
Jared Moskowitz
Slick back thing.
Bill Maher
I mean, you both do have great hair.
Jared Moskowitz
You do.
Bill O'Reilly
I wish someone Would come up to me and say, Gavin.
Jared Moskowitz
No you don't, Mark.
Bill O'Reilly
I do.
Jared Moskowitz
You want to be Gavin Newsom?
Bill O'Reilly
I want to look like him.
Jared Moskowitz
You really, you want to look like him?
Bill Maher
Oh, he, he.
Jared Moskowitz
Look, you're in decent shape for an 83 year old man.
Bill O'Reilly
He's older than me, so it doesn't, it's really pointless.
Bill Maher
But I think Gavin is having a moment.
Bill O'Reilly
Well, he's having a moment. That's my question. Is like he bet big on this Prop 50. It was a risk. He has been a risk taker from the beginning. Is why I always like this guy. He is too far left for me. I tell him it in person. I tell him on the air he has got to move to the center. He has made some moves to the center.
Jared Moskowitz
He's not the state.
Bill O'Reilly
Not enough. Well, okay, he didn't. I know that.
Jared Moskowitz
It doesn't matter.
Bill O'Reilly
Well, he didn't wreck it. But yes, I agree he's got, he's too far left for my taste and he's not going to be president unless.
Jared Moskowitz
He moves to the state.
Bill Maher
When you were powered.
Bill O'Reilly
But he's a politician and I think he has that ability to. And now he looks like he's the front runner. Is he not the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination as of now?
Bill Maher
No, no, no.
Jared Moskowitz
Wes Moore.
Bill O'Reilly
Wes Moore.
Jared Moskowitz
Isn't he governor of Maryland?
Bill Maher
Oh, so Wes.
Bill O'Reilly
I know who he is.
Bill Maher
Wes Moore is tremendously impressive. I just think right now he'll wipe the floor with and that may be the future. I mean if you know Wes and you've seen Wes, he's amazing. But I think Gavin's having a moment between not just Prop 50, but Gavin is the one who decided he's going to try to do Trump's thing online. Okay. With the, you know, the press and the tweets and all of that. And what he's done with that is not. He's trying to out Trump. Trump, cuz that's not possible. But what he has done. What he has done is he's shown how ridiculous it all is when it's done by somebody else. Okay? No shot.
Jared Moskowitz
And so no, no shot.
Bill Maher
I think Bill has a point that the other 49 states don't want to be California. But I would say Gavin right now is tapping into the Democratic anger at what's going on.
Jared Moskowitz
The fringe.
Bill Maher
Okay? No, that's not the fringe. All Democrats are angry. Okay. It's not just the fringe.
Bill O'Reilly
And by the way, a lot of Republicans are angry too. Oh yeah, there are a lot of people.
Jared Moskowitz
Oh you bet. You bet they're angry. This is no ideology in the grocery store, right? Okay. There are. Everybody's teed off.
Bill O'Reilly
Look at that. You said a good thing.
Bill Maher
You know, it only took an hour.
Bill O'Reilly
It only took an hour and 10 minutes.
Jared Moskowitz
You're just brooding over there.
Bill O'Reilly
Brooding in about anything.
Jared Moskowitz
Most of your guests shrink.
Bill O'Reilly
All right, all right.
Jared Moskowitz
Come on, you know the game.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, Is that a short joke?
Bill Maher
Because they have me in a booster.
Bill O'Reilly
I'm 83. I ought to know the game. So it was in the news today that Elon Musk is going to sign his deal to get a trillion dollars. If he hits it.
Jared Moskowitz
He deserves it.
Bill O'Reilly
He deserves it.
Jared Moskowitz
Why not two? Why not two trillion?
Bill O'Reilly
I mean, no, he has to hit.
Bill Maher
Why not 2 trillion?
Bill O'Reilly
He has to do things like create a million robots, lifelike humanoid robots. I don't want any of those in the world, by the way. They are going to take over and kill us all.
Jared Moskowitz
But okay, they already run cnn.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, but look, I am a capitalist, I am not a socialist, certainly not a communist. But a trillion dollars for one person. The question is, should there be an upper level? I don't know what it would be. It would probably peg to the gross national product because that's kind of what we did. When John g. Rockefeller approached 2% of the gross national product, they did change that law.
Jared Moskowitz
And he's in Confronting Evil. My book, Rockefeller, he's in there, John D. Rockefeller as one of the heinous evil people. But here's the anecdote to, to Musk making a trillion. Don't buy a car if that offends you, don't buy his car. That's capitalism. You don't have to buy anything.
Bill O'Reilly
Listen.
Bill Maher
Here'S what I, here's what I would say about that, okay? If you talk about, it's about the economy. The last election you look at what's going on, we're in these wild swing moments. We have vaccine mandates. The response to that is we'll get rid of vaccines, right? Trump's doing authoritarian stuff. The response that is people are going to push socialism. If you think socialism is not going to increase in this country while we're giving out trillion dollar pay packages, then you're just wrong. People are going to rise up and they're going to turn to spreading wealth around. When a guy's making a trillion dollars.
Jared Moskowitz
Depends what state you're in. Sure.
Bill Maher
If you're in Mississippi, it might be.
Jared Moskowitz
If you're in Florida, okay? US State is not going to go socialist.
Bill Maher
I'm not Saying it's going to go socialist. But I'm telling you, it's going to change how people, people look at things. When a guy gets a trillion dollar pay package.
Jared Moskowitz
Nobody likes that. I don't think anybody but Lawn likes that.
Bill Maher
Well, you just said you were okay with it.
Jared Moskowitz
No, I didn't. I said don't buy his car. That's not being okay with it. I wouldn't buy his car, but other.
Bill O'Reilly
People will buy the car or whatever. Again, it's not.
Bill Maher
I mean, by the way, they could have given him a half a trillion, which would have gotten him to a trillion. He's already worth half a trillion.
Bill O'Reilly
It's. It's pegged not to cars, it's pegged to robots. Robots. AI is already, I mean, talking about. I mean, there's. There's been 1.1 million layoffs so far now this year, attributed mostly.
Jared Moskowitz
You know what the worst part is? You and I are going to be replaced by these robots.
Bill O'Reilly
Oh, not me.
Jared Moskowitz
No.
Bill O'Reilly
They can replace you. They can't replace me.
Jared Moskowitz
Well, then they lose 23 million viewers.
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah.
Bill Maher
Math.
Jared Moskowitz
You ever see Invasion of Body Snatchers? I know for a fact there's a pod with mar right in there.
Bill O'Reilly
No, AI can't be funny.
Bill Maher
No, it can't.
Bill O'Reilly
That's it. They can.
Bill Maher
Congress may have a better approval rating if we were replaced by robots.
Bill O'Reilly
Final question. November has become what they call no nuts. November.
Jared Moskowitz
No what?
Bill O'Reilly
No nut. You never heard of this?
Jared Moskowitz
I'm totally out of it.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay. It's this. It's this movement in the last few years where men pledge not to masturbate or have an orgasm for the month of November. You don't know about that?
Bill Maher
I don't know, but it's too late. I guess it's too late.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, perfect. Thank you very much. All right.

Guests: Bill O’Reilly, Rep. Jared Moskowitz
Date: November 11, 2025
This "Overtime" segment of Real Time with Bill Maher features a spirited, back-and-forth discussion between conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly and Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz. The two, moderated by Bill Maher, dive into current political and economic events, hot-button cultural flashpoints, and the implications of emerging technologies. The overall tone is combative yet occasionally humorous, with both guests frequently poking fun at each other and the current media environment.
In true Real Time fashion, the discussion is wide-ranging, brisk, and full of banter and sharp-tongued humor. The episode repeatedly circles back to the political, economic, and technological changes that are upending old certainties—while not missing a beat to lampoon media obsession, celebrity politics, and the sheer weirdness of 2020s America.
Best for listeners seeking: Snappy takes on the week’s most controversial issues, with a blend of comedy, combative debate, and cultural commentary.
