Bill Maher, the prominent figure of Real Time, has publicly called out his colleagues in Hollywood, criticizing them for an unfulfilled promise to exit the nation during Donald Trump's presidency, but nevertheless remaining. He made these comments during his final speech on a Friday show, expressing his irritation with citizens who openly express their dissatisfaction with life in the United States.

Among the individuals Maher cited as offenders of these grievances were political figures, including a progressive New Hampshire state representative candidate. This candidate noticeably shared on social media his eagerness to depart from the United States; another mention was former President Trump who expressed his alternative vision of comfortably residing in the south of France instead of pursuing the path to presidency.

Maher made a poignant joke about the peculiar political narrative of seeking votes whilst simultaneously expressing dissatisfaction with the country, saying 'Vote for me because I hate it here.' He seemed bemused by the irony central to such a stance, echoing the sentiment of ordinary citizens perplexed by this attitude.

He referred to the 'America sucks' list, a catalogue of disappointing statistics about the United States that is often cited to illuminate key areas for improvement within the nation. This includes sobering facts about being 54th in global infant mortality rates—just behind Cuba, 19th in literacy—trailing Russia, and 72nd position globally for female representation within government—falling behind Iraq.

Despite recognizing these significant areas of concern, Maher did not entertain the idea of conceding defeat. Instead, he called for diligence and perseverance from American citizens to address and resolve these systemic issues from within. Conveying his belief that a nation indeed could reach a point where leaving it could seem like the only logical choice, he reassured his audience that America has not, in his view, reached that point.
