Bill Maher, host of 'Real Time,' sharply criticized singer Billie Eilish's anti-ICE speech at the 2026 Grammys, calling it an example of celebrity virtue-signaling. Maher questioned Eilish's knowledge on the subject, dissecting her remarks and suggesting she should refrain from speaking on complex issues without sufficient understanding. While he agreed with her encouragement to keep protesting and speaking up, Maher emphasized that knowledge is just as important as activism. The panel discussion included reactions from former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former Canadian deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland, who debated the role of celebrities in political discourse and the need for substantive solutions. The segment highlighted ongoing tensions over celebrity involvement in political issues and the importance of informed debate.
