Bill Maher laments rise of gambling culture among young Americans during 'Real Time'

Maher said gambling was mostly done by younger men during the monologue.

"And yet, half of all millennials do own a home," the comedian continued. "And most of the gambling is done by really young men, to whom I say: Why don't you let life kick you in the a-- before you give up on it?"

The comedian said gambling allows people to stop believing they can control their own destinies.

"I'm sure that an afternoon doing scratch-offs at the gas station is a great way to signal to women, 'I'm not marriage material,' but it's not a retirement plan. Gambling isn't just bad because you lose the rent; it's bad because it gives permission to stop believing that you control your destiny," he added.

Maher said, "But this is still America, and you still do."

"We're the 'we don't accept fate, we make it' people, not the 'we're up all night to get lucky' people," Maher said.

"You don't know facts," Maher said of the singer.

Maher picked apart a transcript of Eilish's speech, which began with the singer saying, "It's hard to know what to say."

"Then, don't say anything, 'cause you don't know things," he charged. "You didn't go to school, I don't think, and you don't know facts."
