- The explosive documentary about the toxic and abusive environment inside '90s kids' TV didn’t just expose a dangerous workplace, it also exposed Hollywood hypocrisy.
As a Gay man, I fully support this message. Kids don't need to be involved in anything for adults. Period.
Best part of being gay is not having to have kids.
My brother is with a trans woman, and they both feel the same exact way. I know it's unfair, but society needs people like you to speak out against this craziness.
As a person whose sexual orientation, sex, race, socio-economic status or age are completely irrelevant to his ability to form an opinion I agree.
@@IceBear369That's great but what the tuppenny faark does any of that identity politics bullshite have to do with one's ability to form an opinion?
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. lol
The crowd got real quiet when Bill hit them with the DeSantis was right button.
He probably should have been our next president
What exactly was he right about?
Except he wasn't right and Maher was wrong to insinuate that he was.
@@WardenJune Everything he said. What do you think was wrong?
@@svscared ^ Found the kid fucker ^
True, There should be no "Left and Right" in regard to child exploitation, we should ALL be outraged
kids reliably know their gender by 2-4 years old, I dare you to find a parent of a cisgender kid that disagrees.
@@jesipohl6717 2-4 year olds don't know shit. Most of them believe a fat man in a red suit can bring presents down their fireplace, driven there by flying reindeer.
Not to mention that "gender" seems to no longer mean "sex," but some subjective idea of what you should be or, what you were meant to be.
@@jesipohl6717 what? Sounds like you should listen to Bill's advice a little closer.
@@conjandysecurity So were you confused about your gender at that age? I wasn't.
@@heathfletcher6514 never confused. I don't trust people who use the term 'cisgender'. It's not a thing.
Thanks Bill, seriously. The kids needed that.
One of the best signs I saw once said, "be careful not to be so open minded that your brains fall out." I think this best describes our situation today.
That's perfect in these anything goes times. It's awful & we will be our own downfall.
🤯
Love that!, I’ll be using that!
Well sounds nice but first thing a brain is required.
@@julianriveracarrera3344 I'm sure there are donor brains available, just talk to your GP.
“Can we give the kids a break from OUR social wars?”
Fucking brilliant. Thank You Bill Mahr.
"at least until the election is over"
You know you can give them a break, right? Here's the thing he's not telling you: you still have a choice. If you don't want to take your kid to drag queen story hour, you don't have to. If you don't want to buy them a book about queer pride, no one's forcing you to. Stuff exists so that _in case_ it ever did come up, if your kid ever did see something they didn't understand and asked questions or expressed interest, it'd be there to help you explain it.
Maher's argument is a sneaky way of saying such stuff shouldn't exist because it being visible means children run the risk of being sexualized. It plays right into the bad-faith right-wing philosophy that nothing to do with sex, gender or identity they hate should exist, publicly or privately. Drag queen story hour is not the same as sex education and sex education is not the same as pedophilia. I remember seeing my first out gay person when I was five and I asked my parents who and what they were. They and I wish we had the resources and societal acceptance to view them as normal back then, that answering such a question would've been easy. When we stop being threatened by the sheer existence of some people, we can have legitimate normal conversations about who and what they are, SEPARATE to the very real issues of sexual predation and pedophilia. Until then, stop both-sides-ing the argument.
@timothey94
Ye, you sort of missed the important part out there.
"at least until the election is over"
So the Democrats don't look like the weirdo supporting party, that they are. Then once the election is over, they can continue supporting all the sick mentally ill people, to brainwash kids again.
@@Zzyzzyzzs well said
@@Zzyzzyzzs Im curious where you live and if you have kids in the school system? Your argument implies that lgbt isn’t being enforced on kids. There’s been certain schools that have had drag queen story hours invited by teachers during publicly funded school hours and queer books being assigned to students for reading. Im all for queer kids being represented in entertainment animation (of course I am, Im gay myself) but its true what Bill Mahr said… drag queen story hour is more for the queen than the kids. Representation is great but make no mistake… people take it too far and ruin it for us. Leave the kids out of our political squabbling. I also understand the “gay agenda” of making kids tolerant before their homophobic parents brain wash them but some go about it the wrong way. Some bigots will be unhappy with any representation but thats not what myself or Bill Mahr are talking too. Its this forced agenda for tolerance and acceptance and you cannot force change… you quietly influence it without causing backlash because you’ll find that you’ll actually stall progress if you give your adversaries an opportunity to villainize you,
I saw something the other day where someone was claiming that their 4 year old was trans. My gut reaction was to get that child away from them. Little kids know only what they are told, and most will want to do what ever they can to please their caregiver.
FYI: I am a successful, healthy loving gay man. I knew I was different at 5. Didn’t have the language for what I felt but knowing with time that I am gay. This is a common story among gay men. Cheers for the space being created today for not learning hate who we are.
what is the connection between Quiet on Set and trans kids????? can you please explain this???
@@ketamineautism Nothing, just the same people that hate disney hate anyone on any spectrum outside of their normal.
Every day church leaders are arrested for actually sexually abusing children and people like you don't think anything of it. I don't see anyone up in arms about Christian schools where the church protects and transfers around repeat offenders. But those .000000000001% of trans people in the US population, who btw AREN'T being arrested for abuse, are all the right can talk about. Are people like you being paid by the church to distract and deflect? If you really cared about grooming you wouldn't be helping the groomers to distract and deflect.
@@meanjustine8266 Apparently you didn't listen to what Bill said about heterosexuals.
I agree. Drag Queen story hour is more for the Queens than the kids.
No, the kids seems to like it just fine.
@@willhiggins9563 Of course they like it, they're being read to.🤣🤣
"Inclusion became promotion".. The quote of the year for me. Thanks Bill.
Quote of d year from bill was
Ppl need racism to fight n not to fight racism!
Fu*k ya probably d quote of d decade
Inclusion becomes promotion is the very definition of the slippery slope and is how we got from "All I want is to not be arrested for performing sodomy in the privacy of my home" to "Naked gay men having intercourse on a float in front of toddlers at the pride parade is empowering, cancel any bigot who refuses to condone this"
Tell us five times you were excluded from something… we can wait…
@@ZaddyOGis having experienced exclusion some kind of parameter for something?
Are you of the belief there are people who have genuinely never felt exclusion, let alone five times?
Humans are mean, we'll exclude anyone for any reason.
@@JonBonCatthank you ! for replying with common sense to this “new age” pachologist vibe person. No darling freud was a perv, not everything turns back to moms coochie. Your trauma milking brought the society here. Tone down.
Never forget Cory Feldman has been warning people about pedos in the entertainment industry for YEARS
But then he recruited and exploited women using his angels program.
@@UncleBobbo Let us assume that is all true. I would still take exploiting adults over exploiting kids.
Just because HE did something bad... doesnt mean you discount when he calls out something worse.
@@TierDvik He doesn't call them out. He pretends he's going to call them out and then doesn't, over and over. He talks about it and hints at it which is good but it appears he's doing it mostly for self promotional reasons.
@@stuco Fair fair. he can and should be naming names and as far as I know still hasnt you are correct.
@@TierDvik Thanks for being civil, I could have probably worded my response a little better. I felt Corey had only good intentions until I saw some proof of his games he plays with this stuff.
As a former teacher of 17 years, I always try to give my students a thought that I was neutral politically because I wanted them to be freed to ask questions. I think it's important to let kids speak freely on what they think because otherwise they are just going to mimic whatever the adults are saying. I think what the teacher in the video forgot is it's not about her. It's about the students.
This the Pro-Palestine campus zombies
This reminded me of a recent post I read, kid was upset that his teacher has all kinds of Pro-Palestinian stuff pasted all over her walls, as well as BLM and a shrine to Greta Thunberg. The kid is jewish and the Pro-Pal stuff made him understandably comfortable. I don't think it's appropriate for a teacher to use her classroom as a soapbox for her causes, whatever they are, but apparently she thinks she's being super-woke and inclusive. And yet, her student feels uncomfortable and the teacher, like the one in the video, seems more concerned with herself and expressing her views.
So many teachers spend hours upon hours trying to normalize their fetish to children...
I am constantly surprised by Bill Maher. Thank you for speaking out. 👏👏👏👏👏
he flips his argument every ten years to create buzz and make money, that's all.
@jesipohl6717 10 years ago looked MUCH different. My daughter was 3 and I thought social media was going to be her biggest problem. Now she's 13 and I'm so sad with all she has to navigate.
@@jesipohl6717 Or maybe as he gets older, he's getting wiser.
This is why I'm loving Maher these days. Not afraid to call out both sides, and praise both sides.
HAHAHAAHAHAHA yea it only took him 8 years lol, and the fear of the guy he lost 1mil to winning another election. This is just as shallow as every stance he has taken for the last 8 years. Unable to comprehend that the left are the bad guys now. He missed the story from his ivory tower and every time he comes out the just as shallow other talking heads pat him on the back. Bill is the definition of the bubble. Maybe the reps will become the evil christian right again, but I doubt it. Today the Republicans are where the dems were 20 years ago with the exception of a few proven cons like climate change and gun control. No I don't deny science I just believe the scam from 40 years ago that people used to steal money then which was global cooling.
I was recently surprised (but not really) to learn that the ultra woke cult officially hate Maher and have relegated him to the same pile of undesirables they have Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson in. So he must be doing something right.

You say Hollywood, I think you mean churches.
@@danvickers2170 you mean both
@danvickers2170 you mean strawman.
That’s an extreme overstatement
@@danvickers2170 Definitely both.
Bill Maher deserves credit when it's due, and he nailed it on this segment!
Speaking of DeSantis, remember when the Florida Parental Rights in Education bill (HB 1557) of two years ago whose stated goal was to prevent age-inappropriate discussions of sexual orientation was smeared as the "Don't Say Gay" bill?
I repeat: _age-inappropriate_
Yeah, as a gay man and a Southerner, I could see through that like a thong on a Kardashian.
That bill was still dangerous despite how it was talked about in media.
I'm a liberal. That said, child beauty pageants have been going on for decades, and they have always weirded me out. Kids should be kids, not mom's "mini-me."
Exactly. But money and fame are lures hard to resist by some parents, mostly some idiot moms. And the fathers do nothing to prevent it.
@@raulboggio5347 fathers/ DNA is 50/50
"and they have always weirded me out." OK, so why didn't you speak out? Afraid of the left canceling you?
@@WaterlooExpatprojection is real
Many conservatives do pageants very popular in the south.
Thanks, Bill, for continuing to point out hypocrisy wherever you find it.
Kids are not kids anymore bill! Wisecrack would have told u that!
stfu he should be on FOX NEWS
Not enough 😅 ..women still get less money for the same jobs. For example bus driver man gets 25% more money for the exact same hours. Conservatives still control this society and it needs to stop 🛑
except with trump. bill will dance around the fact that the nation was WAY better under him but can’t get past his hatred of trump the man, instead of his policies (which, love him or hate him, worked)
It's just that he's so late to find it. Drag queen story hour has been around for about 10 years.
Really ❤ his comment is how there should be a disabled story hour! As a parent of a disabled child that is truly important & relevant
It’s not the worse plan. I’ve got spina bifida and my friends’ children love it when I read them stories. Might be tricky to get kids to feel comfortable around the reader-I’ve had kids literally run and clutch their mother’s skirt when they see me. 😅 It’d also be good to de-emphasize the disability aspect. I’ve found that standing people are more willing to connect when they see how similar you are, rather than focusing on your differences.
The writer who came up with "Kid 'n Prey" deserves a raise.
The far right and the far left are truly, utterly insane, nowadays
And sadly they are both sucking all the oxygen out of the room.
Yeah. They drown out all the rational moderate voices, so the public don't hear anything else and they think they have no option but to pick crazy on one side or the other.
@@fermentedcinema4892 No, the problem is that they control each party and that is what we are left to choose from.
No such thing as ''far left '' here.
Culture war are about making money not about you pal.
“The test of the morality of a society is how they treat the children”
D. Bonhoeffer
Nice Bonhoeffer quote. 👍
As a guide to his parish in Berlin, I can affirm that Bonhoeffer supported trans people and gay and lesbian people against the Nazis, his parish did the same after the war against the East and West German governments. His church would later become a centre of the environmental movement in East Germany under pastor Hans Simon (who the East German govt freed nazis from prison to harass) a movement that lead to the fall of the Berlin Wall by church-goers who advocated real socialism, not russian-style theatre-government, following Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer was such an advocate for the dignity of queer people that he has often been identified as gay by his enemies wishing to harm his reputation or his allies who also see the signs.
Bonhoeffer would be horrified that you use his name to support a bigot like Maher. I personally know the current pastors of his church, they would be disgusted by you, but not surprised. How dare you, hate damages your soul Kate, a banner saying as much was recently on the ZIonskirche.
@@jesipohl6717 Why push a gay agenda? It has nothing to do with this subject.
What are you on about. @@jesipohl6717
About time Bill. Others have been SCREAMING this for years. Thanks for finally taking the correct side on the issue.
His best monologue ever! Finally waking up and speaking out! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Many blessings! ♥️
I appreciate anyone who stands up for the children.
You said it. It’s really rotten how people have always asked me what I care about others children. My answer became “when you are sixty, they can be bringing you meals on wheels or breaking into your house in the middle of the night.
@@5400bowen One of the questions I detest the most is, "Why do you care?"
I always think why the f don't you? Caring is not a negative attribute.
I wish America would get its act together and stop the medical scandal that is "affirmative care".
Helen Lovejoy fan?
Notice how a certain on-the-ropes rap mogul escaped mention? Yeah. Bill is only speaking up when and where it feels safe. This is not new. He got the all-clear to pile on...or he wouldn't have.
@@robertmarshall2502 so you see it too. Really is a sick viewpoint. Yes, how could you not care.
Kids are highly susceptible. And they have no common sense. They have no point of reference. Its so terribly sad that adults who know better take advantage of them🤯
I agree, we had a generation of sexual abuse by BBC's biggest kid's show celebrity Jimmy Saville and everyone in authority chose to ignore the accusations...shame on them.
@@germantoenglish898
It’s the republican war on sex that is causing this. If we legalized prostitution and destigmatized mastur******, then this wouldn’t happen as often.
Its not only sad, its disturbing. Children are intentionally being indoctrinated. When I was growing up (Millennial) we were taught to "Treat others as you would want others to treat you." Simple, to the point, and it worked! Everyone was included in that simple, beautiful lesson regardless of race, age, sexuality, religion, income... etc. What is happening now is twisted.
@@nilnil7325
That good lesson is now seen as being woke.
Anyone who gives their kid a smart phone is no better. Have you seen the internet? Disney and drag queens are nothing compared to that.
This is the most coherent Bill Maher has ever been. Glad he is taking a stand!
Bill is almost always coherent ,you just have to listen.
what was one correct, novel point he made?
@@ketamineautism All of it...did you not watch the vid in its entirety? Or did you just jump into the comments to ask foolish question because you're red faced and upset that Bill is saying something you dislike.
@@ketamineautismBook burning was a cover for chld grming.
100% agree and I rarely agree with Bill Maher but lately, I am finding myself listening to him more and more...
youve not changed, he has, again. go backward or forward ten years and you'll disagree again, it all depends on where he thinks the money is. the right has people like this two.
Dude u hit on the head, you go back ten and he will say the opposite, it's just lately like conservative party started donating to bills fat wallet and his tune has changed😮
So much common sense, Bill. It is reprehensible what we allow to be done to children nowadays. Disgusting. 😢
I agree. Almost every country in Europe has children's rights. In the U.S., you're treated as more human when you're in the womb. After you're born, it's all "thoughts and prayers." Honestly, it's disgusting.
What exactly is being "done" to children these days? Are the teachers in your schools grooming your kids? Have you actually seen this happen, or just saw it online somewhere?
@@keithhunter3910 This is literally one of the most all-around ignorant replies I have read in a long time.
@@keithhunter3910 Did you just not see the video PROOF, that Bill just showed in the clip?
The sexual abuse of children is NOT new! Been gong on for centuries. It's just that in the last 30 years, we;ve finally begun to talk about it. MOST kids are abused by someone they know----and while it can be a coach or leader in their "church context"----fact is, it's usually someone IN THEIR FAMILY: father/stepfather, uncle, mom's boy friend--a relative. And the pressure is high to keep "the family secret" OR be kicked out of your own family.
Bill: Thanks for your commitment to calling out the hypocrisy across the political spectrum.
dont be so naive BM is way late to the party, he's just virtue signaling.
@@urbinblytte429 Virtue signaling who??? And if true what's wrong with sticking up for children????????
@RandyWatson-vb9pk I think you missed the point. If I'm right in my reaction you are. He flatly stated he's a lefty-progressive-type but he's acknowledging that the far-left wing of his own preferred party has gone too far. I don't disagree. He's done it in a respectable way and explained his thinking. He's mostly right, even though I do not like his recent apparent sympathy towards MAGA. I worry not, Bill will tire of Trump's antics and will return home to the party of sanity. Bottom line though is that it does not make sense politically to align perfectly with the gay movement and it is enough to simply support their Constitutional rights... no political interest group deserves more.
@@urbinblytte429 I think you're pretty much so far off you're in the woods buddy.
@RandyWatson-vb9pk Possibly the Cass report?
This is important. Good job, Bill.
This is amazing!!! Thank you for being utterly fearless about this and saying it like it is.
WOW This is your best monologue, IMO, We have lost our sense of shame, as a Nation. People rage about minor things, but have no problem with the most innocent amongst us being destroyed. 👍👍👍👍👍
If we want this to stop then homosexuality needs to be bad again. We need to bring back sodomy laws and ban so called gay marriage,
Ah no, that's not it at all. We've lost our common sense, and went extreme.
Shame is still a powerful social part if life. Wear dirty clothing for example.
Knocked the common sense message out of the park. Seriously... This should be common sense to all.
If the extremist activists didn't hate Bill yet, they certainly will now.
@RandyWatson-vb9pk what?!? Lol

This made a lot of sense. Leave the children alone. Thank you for speaking common sense.
It’s funny how celebrities want to preach to everyone about how moral and virtuous they are, then you realize they knew exactly what people like Harvey Weinstein were doing and they kept quiet so it didn’t hurt their careers…
Some are, I haven't see this from everyone. Both sides do a lot of shit, as an indie, I can point out both sides are equally bad and can't own up to their own sides BS.
Facts especially the women
If your taking your cues from celebrities then you got bigger problems than you think
like Trump ??
You can take any group of people (including Christians) and find the same percentage of deplorables in them as in the general public.
Thank you Bill, well said!
One of the absolute best New Rules since I started watching over a decade ago.
"Wokeness is not an extension of liberalism . . .it's taking something so far that it becomes the opposite . . ." Exactly.
I don’t understand your statement… What does it mean?
@@cynthiao.543 Not my statement. I quoted Bill Maher. If you don't understand it, listen again to the entire video.
Nobody knows WTF "wokeism" really is so it's a quagmire to navigate. Bottom line is that you can support gay rights but not want to embrace it as part of your personal life.
Yes, that's called horseshoe theory
For example, who wants to segregate the races? The kkk, and your college wokists.
100% - leave the kids alone - let them be kids!!!
Roger Waters and Pink Floyd may have been saying something to us 40 years ago when the screamed Hey Leave those Kids alone
Call of Duty banned a streamer for saying that.
I agree, though "let them be kids" is very vague and can come off as "let them act within the moral parameters that I have set forth and anything outside of that is heresy/bad/deviant"
@@Madway I assure you it does not refer to heresy or deviance.
@@FR-ty5vn Not sure, some parents seem very averse to letting kids crossdress. Like not a teacher or other person "forcing" it, but just them being curious and want to do it.
Because either the parents themselves are against it or they fear some sort of backlash from other parents. Not talking about something serious like burning down their house or calling the police, just weird looks or the general "your kid will get bullied and we won't do anything about it even if we are in a position to stop it" kinda thing...
That all said I'm gonna assume you're making an appeal to purity, which is prob the most noble cause even if it does have some issues.
Gay man here, thank you so much for saying this. I have been saying this for years and been getting lit up by people for it. Called everything under the sun. Thank you so much for saying it on a mass scale. It needed to be said. Its so damn tiring man.
Keep up the good work Mr. Maher.
Your audience will only grow because you are telling the truth. Great monologue. ❤
As a parent, as a political being, as a thinking entity I am thankfull for this.
As all of the above and as a devout Christian, I’m thankful Maher said this.
THANK YOU BILL!! 👏🏻 This was exceptionally articulated! And SO important! While keeping it light enough to digest. Thank you thank you!! 🙏🏻

Excellent Bill Mahar - thank you for participating in protecting our kids - maybe if we are lucky some of them may grow up to like you 🙂
Thank you, Bill. It’s about time the rest of America saw that “It’s not going to lick itself” sign at that kids’ event.
I'm in tears. I NEVER thought I'd see that exposed or see this spoken out against in a broadcast to this many people, especially this many lefties and left-leaners.
Thank you so much, Bill, you take arrows from every side but you're fighting the good fight & I'm with you.
Yeah, sure. But if Bill actually had any balls, he would have done so when the rest of us saw it, not 2-3 years later when the topic is "safe" to talk about.
@@northpaul707 Who said it was safe now?
@Mitzi73 I did. Because it is. Sure, you will still get some blowback, but not like it was a few years ago.
@@arwenstrong2818 That is exactly correct! This man is a treasure!
Let's all agree not to politicize protecting kids. Good point Bill.
He is politicizing protecting kids, what should be an apolitical story about child abuse in the industry is now another story about how drag queens and queer teachers are corrupting society. Also can we stop attacking underpaid teachers, literally doing gods work, for expressing their gender identity?
Bill's side is the issue.
It's already been politicized so there is no real going back from that
I suppose everything is inherently political
So really what we need to do is get broad consensus on what "protecting kids" means, and what is more important than protecting kids
Meaning - let's not see physical harm brought to any child, as much as possible, regardless of what else is going on
@@kendomyers Not everything is political, at least to me stuff become political when politicians run them as issues they plan to "solve" (usually just dance around the issue)
As for protecting kids it's a really tough issue, especially when America (n politicians) would have to start with saying if they only care about American children or children worldwide, if worldwide then that opens up a big can of worms where they have to become the world police to even think of tackling the issue.
But as a general goal it would be nice to properly define "protect the children" as a cause because it's been used many times to purity test the media and culture without much substance.
Like with the Satanic panic era of wanting to remove/restrict (access to) violent music/movies/video games with "think of the children" coming up by the early Mom's against groups (currently Moms for Liberty is prob the most popular one, though "violent" has been replaced by some form of argument against degeneracy/indecency)
Thank you for showing what is happening
Hmm
Keep bringing the truth, Bill!
I don't teach kids, but holy shit, if I did, I would be as nondescript as possible and try to teach them whatever subject I was supposed to teach them. They don't need to know anything about my sexuality. It's called being a "professional".
Everything is so PC now. I'm 61 and a teacher and I told a kindergartner that she looked beautiful. (She had on a beautiful dress, her mother had spent a lot of time doing her hair.) Her young female teacher chastised me and told me, "She doesn't need to be hearing from old men how she looks." It was a simple compliment. Sheesh! I should've taken offense at being called old.
@@rabbit251 Haven't you heard, the only group that can be insulted now is old people.
That's how my mother was as a teacher. And she was a brilliant teacher.
She also just let kids be themselves.
That's all well and good but this ideology is also written into the curriculum.
@@rabbit251 She doesn't need to be hearing from old men how she looks? That sounds sexist and ageist it me. Is the other teacher suggesting that it would OK if you were a young woman commenting on how the kid looks?
Well balanced segment by Bill. Hope enough people view it because I think this is how the vast majority of the US sees things.
Amen, Bill! You speak the truth!!
Bill, you are making more sense every time I listen to you.
Grand Slam with this one, Bill!!!
Killer! Quite possibly the best New Rule segment yet! Bravo!
100% agree!!! 👍
He's had tons of amazing ones. I agree that this is really good.
Great job Bill. Great job.
Thank you Bill.
Let children be children. They are defenseless. Period.
Having been a victim of a paedophile as a 4yrs old I can honestly say that victims - NEVER forget no matter what the so called 'experts' tell you who have never been through such horror as a child. I'm now 71 and I still have flashbacks to that horrible time of my life. And it never stopped since the horror of it was implanted in my subconscious at 4 yrs old and as it's said - history repeats itself - and it did with 3 rapes following at later stages of my life - all strangers. God bless this man for bringing this to light - it needs to be.
Your very brave sharing this I am so sorry that you went through it.
My girlfriend was raped by a trusted family friend from ages 4 to 9. Then she was raped when she was 18. My heart breaks for anyone that's been through that.
As a fellow thrice rape victim starting at 15 that messed my life up I concor, but I was always thankful I didn't get abused as a child. I have many friends that were. I'm very sorry that happened to you. I stayed vigilant in my nieces and nephews lives so that wouldn't happen to them. It really fucks with kids lives, for the rest of their lives,
try magic mushroom therapy it can help with that kind of PTSD.
Where do people live to get raped multiple times??
I respect Bill Maher so much for talking about this.

Bill is a few years behind of what Conservatives have been saying a long time now! Glad he's catching up!
Good job Bill....I'm proud of you. Keep it coming....don't be afraid.
As a gay liberal, also seeing how insane things have gotten in my tribe, I approve of this message! (Edit: I mean both my liberal and gay tribes)
Your tribe? Yuck.
I'm a lifelong liberal, heterosexual. I don't know how "drag queen reading hour" became "a thing." IS it a thing? On this particular issue, I think Maher hits it on the head when he says that it "seems like it's more for the queens than for the kids." "Identity politics."
Nothin against drag queens, but I think Maher's right on that one. Seems like it's more for the adult drag queens than for the kids.
I think he's also right about kids going through phases.
Gender reassignment seems to be a fad. In a different video, Maher says that he wanted to be a pirate when he was a kid, but that he's glad that his parents didn't go ahead and have one of his legs amputated so he could have a wooden peg leg. Why? Because six months after the pirate thing, he changes his mind and wants to be Spiderman, instead.
Obviously, there ARE people/kids who in "the wrong body;" there ARE people who do benefit from gender reassignment surgery.
And even more obviously, men and women should be able to do with their own bodies WHATEVER THE HELL THEY WANT TO.
But kids are very impressionable, and they change their minds a lot.
Give 'em a little more time to deliberate before you're like (as Maher says) "Hand me the dick saw!"
It's a big decision, is all I'm saying.
It would have been awesome if you wrote "as a gay libreal, seeing how gay things have gotten" would have made a couple people chuckle.
As dave chappel says we are the glory hole gays
As a life long democrat. when i see COMMENTS like yours . I instantly think ....REPUBLICAN
The worst thing about all of this is that we're not allowed to criticize it on social media. I once became a witness of how two gay men wearing only leather jockstraps were touching their nether regions in the Rome subway, which then was full of kids going to school. I simply pointed out that I was disgusted by such behaviour displayed in the public, and for this Facebook disabled my comments and postings for a week, stating it was hate speech against the LGBTQIA+.
I mean, Pride month is supposed to be a celebration of gay people fighting against government oppression and homophobia, but instead some activists use it as an excuse to do anything they want, and we're not even allowed to point their actions to be inappropriate, even when they blatantly are.
That was Facebook not LGMTQ+ that disable or comments.
I said non-binary was nonsense on LinkedIn, and they tried to say it was “hate speech”. My comment got to stay, but then HR wrote me up because I said the same thing about drag queen story hour. Excuse me for not wanting anything to do with Pride month!
@@rileywhetstone1755 And which crowd reported it to FB? 🤔
most on point segment ever from Bill Maher.
Thank you Bill!
I'm a Christian and conservative, but gosh darnit, Bill you just became a hero to me. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
nobody is making you go to Drag queen story hour - just don't go - that's your freedom
I wouldnt go that far.. Bill is like a clock its only right twice a day.
LOL your comment about your new hero won't age well. billy swings with the wind
Religion is poison 😅
@@stevendixon5467 the religion of liberalism is evil.
My girlfriend got mad at me because I had the same reaction within the first 30 minutes of quiet on set..."how many of these late millennial/gen z culture writers hand wringing about the sexual connotations of a soda blowing up in a chick's face do you think support drag queen story hour and puberty blockers for 12 year olds?"
Also I am for getting rid of child beauty pageants. Who are they really for?

@@rcs2749 you ever see who judges these things?
Yes Bill, YES!
Thanks for exposing this hypocrisy, Bill!
I will never understand why these children's parents aren't blamed.
That silence is probably due to an equal mixture of fear of being turned upon by the woke mob and a slow cultural normalisation of what would have been considered child abuse 10 years ago. Meanwhile the parents sit back and bask in the applause of the left at how stunning and brave they are by proxy.
Because the current government is pushing the same agenda and it's too risky to openly accuse them if you disagree because of cancelation! I feel you!
bc the Left won't allow it
Most of the time the dads tried to prevent it, the moms forced them out, and nobody protected the child because the mom was too busy exploiting them for their own gain.
The creepiest thing about the documentary was that there was a case where the dad did literally everything he could think of to keep the kid safe on the set and it didn’t work, because the mom basically worked with the creeps to undermine him.
TRUTH!!! Thanks Bill
You can tell this topic is hard for his crowd to accept. Good job Bill for being so clear about it and not being hostage to his audience 👍
I also have no children. And I concur 100 percent with everything Bill says.
"I call them Pimp and Ssss" hit the nail on the head.
As a speech therapist I believe you are there for kids as a trusted adult. You are not there to influence them for any sort of agenda. If those teachers can do what they say they are doing then any other teacher can interject overly conservative and/or religious beliefs and that is wrong too. Thanks Bill for highlighting this!
Bravo 👏
Bill, I can see you spit the Kool-aid out. Thank you for adding humor to this insanity.
Really appreciate Bill’s attempt to persuade things back to the middle. It’s a thankless job to regulate your own tribe. But it makes us all better.
I can't believe Maher is calling it out!
He’s literally been doing this for 3 years…go back and watch the videos…
lazarheaD - you do know bill's been calling out people out for decades weather you're on the left or right. It's one or the reasons his show (politically incorrect) was cancelled on ABC back in the days. He's always been calling anyone out on the left or right
He always calls out hypocrisy and terrible behaviour, no matter who's doing it.
If only he called it out 2 years ago when the rest of us condemned the "It won't lick itself" fiasco
@@athrunzala6919 You called it out 2 years ago? Link the post or stfu
Bill Maher, you are the liberals America needs. I deeply admire you! You're one of the last liberals standing. I follow you from metro Detroit, Michigan, and i am proud that you have not contaminated your name with WOKE crazy ideas, and you have not been afraid to call out the WOKE agenda B.S
Even if the whole world turns against you, remember that you bring so much hope that America liberalism isn't dead. I may disagree on some topics with you, but overall, you bring pride to liberalism. I there present you the ALL times Cohoney award.❤❤❤❤
He's not liberal.
I agree, but I really wish he used the word grooming instead of entrapment to describe how children are being force fed gender ideology in schools. Although that could have been deliberate, I have read liberal media corporate owners have forbidden its staff and journalists from using the term "grooming" in relation to children and the LGBT movement.
@@connievino4226 Yes, this is problem as definitions get twisted. Republicans like to lump socialism in with communism but few people really understand the meanings from a political science perspective because it has all simply become political. People used to know these things, but we have dumbed down America so much. Trump really isn't a what we consider conservative Republican as he is a Populist, he just says what he thinks people what to hear and mostly about culture like this because this is an easy win against liberals.
But remember how bad racism used to be? At 61 I remember. My brother's wife is black and I have to remember from time to time because I never think of it. Now my wife is Chinese, my daughter speaks 3 languages and never has a problem. My son, however, is often confused with being a Latino and gets spit on and called or told terrible things. Where does that come from I wonder. Two steps forward, one step back.
@@connievino4226yes, he is. He's an actual liberal. Woke people aren't liberal.
@@tubester4567he's done it a lot
Damn, Bill... Something I can fully support! Proof you're not everything they say you are! Thanks
Thank you for standing up for kids!!!!!
Just curious where do you live? My elderly mother and myself (we are White, if that matters), but my 88 year old mom... her great grandkids can come here to southern Louisiana where we live and buy booze and Meth, if they want at the neighborhood store here and trailer park. It's actually that easy if you can believe. Hearing drag queens at story hour isn't near that bad. You must live a sheltered life.
Maher has been on fire the last three weeks! A much needed voice!
He is trying to win over centrists to the Left. What better way to do it that use Right leaning ideas?
@@dougbrowne9890 You make a valid point! But I think the choice is clear for 2024…
just wait 10 years, he'll be saying the opposite thing again. the guy believes in his wallet.
The voice of reason and common sense strikes again!
Well said, sir.
Thank you❤ finally some sense from a lib 🎉
Maybe parents should pay attention because without their approval and push, these kids would NOT be used like this.
The parents want to vicariously live through their kids' fame. And also the paycheck.
So with your logic any kid without protection is fair game? Way to go giving a pass to child predators
@olbricky6824 where did anyone say that?? Stop hearing what was not said. sheesh
they mean that PARENTS need to be protecting, and if that fails, ALL OF SOCIETY has to step in.
We don't leave the fallen behind.
@@rhondaarnesen6684 you say to "stop hearing what was not said" then proceed to add a paragraph of stuff that "was not said" 🤔
@@olbricky6824they wouldn't be able to prey on the children if the parents prevented it. That's all.
Is it just me? Or is Bill Maher actually sticking up for children in this segment?! Proud of him.
It's not just you. He outright said as much in his opening.
It's a surprisingly empathetic and emotionally healthy take. He's right. Not allowing sexual boundaries with children is abuse.
Still some subtle grooming in the monologue.
@@derrickmcadoo3804bro what
Damn, Bill, I'm impressed. Keep it up!
Right you are Bill, it's gone to far.
