TMZ Live

When it comes to Bill Maher, you can bet your bottom dollar he's not shy about diving into the chaotic mess that is America's deeply divided society -- abortion included.

Bill swung by "TMZ Live" to break down a quick snippet from his new book, "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You" ... where he mentioned understanding some folks' POV of seeing abortion as murder -- but he also made it clear he was still okay with the procedure.

He mentioned how he thinks abortion should be legal up until the third trimester -- quipping it's not necessarily because he's gung-ho about his pro-choice stance, but mainly because he's just not a big fan of kids.

Pete Buttigieg knows Americans have travel on the brain heading into the holiday weekend, and for those concerned about Boeing's issues, he says the government's holding the company to a very high standard.

The Secretary of Transportation was on "TMZ Live" Thursday to talk about the series of technical issues plaguing the aircraft manufacturing giant in recent months, and, as a result, he says Boeing is under heavy government scrutiny.

Secretary Buttigieg says the Federal Aviation Administration's forcing Boeing to prove it can make planes safely before it's allowed to expand production on the Boeing 737 MAX ... seemingly a big condemnation of the company's recent products.

Jermaine Dupri is incensed over Apple Music's 100 Best Albums list ... specifically, the lack of R&B inclusion.

The So So Def hitmaker joined "TMZ Live" Wednesday and groused that several iconic R&B acts, such as Mariah Carey, TLC, Diana Ross, and Jodeci ... didn't make Apple's cut.

JD, who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2018, notes the music that influenced him and his peers was shockingly ignored.
