Weighing in on the whistle-blower scandal that the media have treated as the apocalypse over the past few days, Real Time host Bill Maher noted that "a lot of people were saying today, 'oh, we've got him.'" A disheartened Maher said "I wouldn't get my hopes up" that the whistle-blower scandal will bring President Trump down before begging his panel to convince him "that this is going to be different." NBC Analyst Heather McGhee described the whistle-blower scandal as an example of "what happens because we didn't impeach" and trashed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for making the "fundamental miscalculation to think that we should not impeach this President, no matter what happens." Maher asked "is it too late?" After the crowd erupted into applause, Maher described impeachment as "the right thing to do," adding "it was the right thing to like do two minutes into his...presidency."
