Bill Maher, the host of "Real Time," pledged not to "pre-judge" the Trump administration, even though he harbors personal animosity towards President-elect Donald Trump.

Maher stated during a panel discussion on Friday night that "the country needs a colonic and a slap in the face so bad," and they are referring to themselves as "disruptors."

Maher stated that while he wouldn't choose the bureaucracy to administer the colonic, it's not surprising that it's bloated. He also pointed out that the debt is $36 trillion and there are thousands of regulations that restrict people's lives. Despite this, there is "woke" in the military, and Maher is not going to pre-judge what they are going after.

"I don't have optimistic feelings about it, but I won't pre-hate. I can't get into that mindset. Let's see what the disruptors can do. The experts have let something go for so long that it's sclerotic and constipated."

The actor expressed doubt about the effectiveness of "disruptors" when the "corn lobby," "pharmaceutical industry," and "defense contractors" voice their opposition to the administration's policies.

"Let's see what happens," Maher said.

In the conversation, Maher later admitted that Trump's assessment on resolving the Russia-Ukraine war was correct after mentioning the Biden administration's decision to allow Ukraine to fire US-made missiles into Russia, which increased the risk of further escalation by the Kremlin.

"It seems like everyone is on board with the idea that Trump said at the beginning, it will be a negotiated settlement. Marco Rubio was saying he will be Secretary of State, and I feel like they are losing the war in Ukraine. They are noble, and we support them in spirit, but should we continue to do so as we have been?"

He compared the ongoing war to last week's highly-watched boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.

Last week, as I was leaving here, everyone was discussing the upcoming event. "What's gonna happen?" they wondered. Then, we saw the fight and realized that a 58-year-old man, who was past his prime in the 90s, was not going to defeat a 27-year-old giant. Despite this, we all remained hopeful and decided to watch it at home. As Maher said, "Maybe- oh, I'm gonna go home and watch it!"

Maher expressed a willingness to consider Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services, stating, "we need a change."

""The system for health is already flawed, and it's possible that the new system will make it worse, but I'm not losing my mind over it," Maher said."
