Passionate Closing Segment

In a passionate closing segment on Friday’s episode of „Real Time,“ Bill Maher criticized Elon Musk and the current military budget cuts, urging for significant reforms instead of superficial changes.

Maher pointed out the inconsistency, highlighting the ongoing investment in outdated weapons like the F-35 while new fighter jets, like the F-47, are still being developed.

Political Agreement on Defense Budget

Calls for Reform

• He criticized the bloated nature of the Department of Homeland Security.

Questioning Security Measures
