Bill Maher certainly seems to have swallowed the red pill lately.
It may be that Democrats have moved so far to the left that he appears more right because he’s just stayed right where he was as a classical liberal. But whichever, he’s certainly speaking more of the truth.
He might still suffer from some Trump Derangement Syndrome, but he’s right on target when it comes to calling out a lot of the craziness currently happening on the left.
Maher has particularly been on fire lighting up “woke” college kids over the past couple of weeks of his “Real Time” show. Two weeks ago he blasted them for “siding with terrorists” and advised kids coming up, “Don’t go to college”—not unless they wanted to be indoctrinated. Then, he delivered a terrific ode to Western civ while decimating liberals who support Hamas.
But he was loaded for bear when he had Neil deGrasse Tyson on his “Club Room” podcast on Sunday. Tyson started the problem by asking Maher why didn’t he do college comedy tours anymore. Maher said most comedians are no longer doing that because college students are too easily offended and colleges have issues with free speech.
That’s why he went after Tyson for going along with the crazy woke stuff and not calling students out on it, and he didn’t hold back and pointed in his face:https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1721310769130922163?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1721310769130922163%7Ctwgr%5E51328d8e551afad024c1778a7bfab0ae073874fa%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fnick-arama%2F2023%2F11%2F06%2Fwatch-bill-maher-decimates-neil-degrasse-tyson-for-coddling-woke-college-crazies-n2165986
“I have given up on any place that doesn’t even remotely attempt to believe in free speech, and thinks that anything they hear that they don’t like, that they don’t agree with is violence. These people are f—ing nuts, and you should be calling them out,” Maher charged Tyson.
“You’re doing what parents do: You’re taking the path of least resistance, and therefore hurting the kids and yourself. Parents ruin both their lives. They ruin their f—ing spoiled kids’ lives, and they ruin their own lives because the kids rule the roost. So that’s what you’re doing on a national level,” he told Tyson.
Tyson’s defense was lame — he argued that he didn’t want to alienate them. “It’s not good enough to be right, you also have to be effective,” he claimed. Not at the risk of reality or sanity.
That’s exactly what needs to be done with folks like Tyson, who enables this kind of craziness. I think Maher was still a bit kind to him because it isn’t just that Tyson isn’t calling the woke kids out on it, it’s that he’s encouraging some of the woke thought. But good for Maher to put him on the spot, make him think about things, and justify himself. He’s probably never faced someone challenging him with reality like that.
They continued to speak about transgender sports competition with Tyson saying maybe they should have people competing based on hormone levels. Again, Maher wasn’t letting that go by.
“So all I’m saying is, what is it that makes the man, the ‘man’?” the scientist asked. “Is it the hormones? OK. If it’s the hormones, and you decide to give yourself a different cocktail of hormones — I’m making this up, by the way. I’m not saying it should happen this way. It’s a way to start thinking about it. Maybe the track meets have hormone categories.”
After sighing at Tyson’s suggestion, Maher challenged Tyson to agree that cross-hormone therapy was not healthy.
“Would you not admit that? Do you think we can just safely do things like this?” he asked.
Exactly. It’s treated like you can switch on and switch off what sex you want to be like a light bulb when there are consequences for such manipulation and mutilation. Good for again pointing out health and some questions about the biological effect here with all this.
Such sanity was welcomed, including by actors Esai Morales and Robert Davi.
Bill Maher is onto something and I’m glad he’s speaking up. https://t.co/XL5PsNoX6l
