Bill Maher just destroyed liberal science icon Neil deGrasse Tyson over the latter’s refusal to call out college students over woke, anti-free-speech temper tantrums on campuses nationwide.
Tyson, never a fan of staying in his lane, lamented that Maher had ‘abandoned college campuses’ to perform stand-up comedy due to woke kids, to which Maher replied “every comedian has … literally everyone.”
Tyson then asked Maher how he would approach comedy if he was a young comedian today.
“Would you just develop a whole other comedic repertoire that does not end up having people picket outside your thing? Are you just transposed and you’re not adjusting to the shifting terrain?” – Implying that Maher should craft a woke-friendly routine that seeks not to offend anyone. “So, why is it their fault (the students) and not your fault?”
‘You’re being so broad about the whole thing,” Maher replied, adding “that doesn’t work because it doesn’t ever explain anything. If you want to talk about specific issues… it’s funny, you know, this subject comes up a lot of times with like people who are you know my friends who are around my age 40 um no and they have like kids who are like super woke and drive them fucking nuts.”
“I got woke kids,” Tyson replied, adding “I will never be as woke as my kids would want me to be, ever.”
To which Maher replied, “Yeah, but you’re a little too still… and you know woke does not automatically mean better, just like newer doesn’t automatically mean better. So that’ why I say, to talk broadly is bullshit. You have to talk about what specific issue are we talking about.”
Tyson then said that Maher used to be good in the 70s when he would “read the room,” to which Maher replied: “Am I not woke enough for you?”
Tyson tried to argue that there was surely “a portfolio of jokes that would work on a college campus,” to which Maher replied:
“I would hope not. Maybe some college campuses. The ones you read about are fucking insane–
“You have given up on an entire generation,” Tyson interjected, to which Maher shot back: “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 fucking nuts, and you should be calling them out. Somebody like you who has standing with kids, should be – not joining. 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 fuckin’ spoiled kids lives, and they ruin their own lives if the kids rule the roost. So that’s what you’re doing on a national level.”

This cultist will not call out the hivemind any more than a worker bee will rebel against the Queen.
Since you don’t like hivemind I had to down vote you, even though you hit the nail on the head.
You like this “hivemind” idea? Why?
Bill called out Neil, right?
So, which is which?
OK, I know, Neil is a hivemind cultist, and Bill called him on it…
Jeez, I hope I’m right and not offending any fragile people.
Maher trying to scrape up some dupe viewers [and thus advertising coin] by pretending to turn right.
I have heard his stands over the years.
He is a fair weather ally only.
What about Tyson? I’d guess that he’s one of your staunch allies. Right?
Lololol
Maher is trying to scrape up some right leaning viewers by a fake right shift.
He is in it for the money.
At the end of the day, his mantra is the same as the rest of (((them))) … is it good for the jews or is it good for israel?
Woof!
What I think is that he actually understands that threats to free speech destroy a lot of very valuable things, including his right to entertain people and make lots of money doing it.
Listening to what he is saying makes me believe he is sincere about this. No foolin’.
Fuck bill maher. That atheist, childless scumbag didn’t find a Democrat he didn’t want to lick their nuts or in pelosi/delassandros day, lick her clit. He helped to usher this shit storm much like mayorkas,blinken and other lefties, jew or gentile. Maybe if he didn’t suck biden or democrat dick so hard, he would see reality. So again fuck Jim and his opinion.
He’s a jew, childless is the best we can ask for.
Which “race” do you hope comes out “on top”?
That’s a pretty convincing argument…
Which Biden did he suck?
Is there a video?
Did it happen on Lolita Island? (Maybe at Burning Man?).
DegRasse is a self-appointed expert on everything, science, social issues, etc. etc. There is a video of him saying the earth is not a globe it is pear shaped. So then how are all the pictures from NASA of the earth practically perfect spheres? But my favorite is when he agrees with trans men in women’s sport even to the point of Tyson being able to fight women if he went trans. Never mind the injuries being inflicted on women by trans men in various sports. Pure insanity yet he says it with a straight face. He is a tool of our overlords he has been assimilated as Maher points out.
I,on the other hand,find trans-women dominating women’s sports to be quite funny. From the 1960s feminists used Uncle Sam to force men to open up all of their clubs,bars,associations,gyms,etc to women. Naturally,having gained admission,women found men’s ways of doing things appalling. Men dropped out of their organizations,and just gathered with a few friends. So f’k ’em. I hope the new era sees all the trophies go to trans- wahMEN.
Bad news buddy, the earth is not a perfect sphere.
The good news is, it also doesn’t look much (to me) like a pear.
If ” it” is on Tel Avision, you can take it to the bank that “it” is acceptable discourse.
N. Tyson is the Whoopee Goldberg of science.
Bravo Auntie! That is one brilliant and savage image.
Merci beaucoup, Ray.
You are a bad man.Very bad. Spot on,but very bad.
To me, he seems like Mr. Greenjeans, from the old Captain Penny kids show.
Tyson is a self absorbed narcissist,, so convinced that because he is The Smartest Guy in the room in his area of expertise that his opinions on other things are every bit as brilliant. It’s so much like the sycophants of the left awarding Gates his Medical Doctors diploma because he is rich. He’s a snob.
Dunning-Kruger poster boy Neil De GrasseHole.
In case anyone cares, the quoted exchange starts at 33:20. Quickly it devolves into Tyson rambling on with some boring self-aggrandizing yarn. He thinks he’s the smartest guy and keeps referring to himself as a scientist. He’s a TV talking head. He is insufferable.
I get a chuckle when these democrat niggers try to act intelligent.
Weird thing happening to me: Comments made via my phone aren’t “sticking”. Comments made via iPad are. On the phone, I see the comment I’d made but if I look again from iPad or desktop, it’s not there. Ideas? I would understand if Admin is sick of me and has partially blocked me, although he’s not normally the blocking type.
Typing this from desktop.
I had a similar problem about a week ago (and also once about a year ago). I think it is just a glitch in the WordPress comment system. The problem should go away in about a day or so.
This is like a 65 year old lesbian talking to a 60 year old tranny about family values.
At least the lesbian has “her” muffin intact. Does it matter which direction the tranny rides the train? Shit, I am getting cynical.
Meh. This is so tame. If Bill and Neil would just lock horns and start beating the fuck out of each other, I might watch a few minutes of it.
You love pillow fights?
Yep, as long as I ain’t in it.
Comedy is not supposed to “read the room” it’s supposed to PROVOKE the room. You don’t change yourself for the mob. Ass kissers are never funny.
Excepting when a “hershee kiss” appears on the nose. That’s quite amusant.
Maher helped build the woke culture for the last 50 years.
Tyson is such a blow-hard. He loves the sound of his voice. I never pay attention to him.
