I mean, to me, the sensible center is that like you respect people, you trust parents, you let parents figure out what to do with their kids, and you don't need a bunch of politicians in Washington making decision. That is not the Democratic position, at least here in California. Well, that's my position.
I I'm good. I'm good. That's I think that's where the Democratic party should.
That is not the position that we've had here in California, which is like don't tell the parents what the kids are doing. Bill Maher brought on the woke idiot Douglas Murray onto his show. real time with Bill Maher and things get heated whenever Bill Maher starts to attack a lot of things that Douglas Murray believes in here in front of this live audience on Bill Maher's show.
Bill Maher really goes after identity politics, goes after, you know, starts talking about the trans issue and things like that and just how ridiculous people such as Douglas Murray have gotten, leaving him absolutely silenced on this real time panel. Let's get to this clip here where Bill Maher goes after the woke left, leaving Douglas Murray absolutely stunned here on Real Time with Bill Maher. All right, YouTubers.
He is a bestselling author whose new book is called On Democracies and Death Cults. Douglas Murray to my left, to my right, an editor at large of Reason magazine and co-host of the Fifth Column Podcast, Matt Welch. She is a Democratic senator from Minnesota, Tina Smith.
Okay, here are the questions from the actual people. For Douglas, what is your reaction to the UK Supreme Court declaring that the definition of a woman is well, we should include you in this, too. It's about women is based on biological sex and includes transgender people.
Yeah, this was a big ruling this week in in England. The Supreme Court, their definition of woman is biological sex. To put it in shorthand, JK Rowling won.
Yes, JK Rrowling one. Everyone who said this for years has won all the particularly women who've been defamed and lied about and bullied and chased and much more for years. They were right.
And uh I just think apart from being a statement of the obvious, isn't it amazing that the best legal minds in Britain spent years having to work out the first thing we knew as a species. But just to be clear, we're not saying there's not such a thing as trans, right? We're not saying there's not such a thing as someone who was quote unquote born in the wrong body.
I don't think people get born in the wrong body now. Oh, I do. I do.
Yeah. I mean, I I think there's a default setting for humans. Like, we should acknowledge that it's not just every time there's a baby, who knows what the [ __ ] it is.
That's crazy. But but there are, you know, me. Yeah.
But there are variations. Well, here's the thing. There's there's a difference in what Bill Maher is saying and what a lot of the woke left say, right?
There's a difference between saying, you know, I do I believe, you know, and and hear me out for a second. I believe that there can be people who are born quote unquote in the wrong body, right? Where they believe they are one thing and they are not that thing biologically.
The the problem is not acknowledging cuz I think a lot of people have gotten it twisted where they think the problem is acknowledging that that can be a real thing. That is a real thing, right? The problem is that we're normalizing it and making it seem like it's not a mental illness when it very much is a mental illness for someone to think that they're a woman when they are a man and they have a penis.
That is a mental illness. It's not normal. So there's a difference in Bill Maher saying that that does happen, you know, and then you know I I think it just sounds a little stupid for people to deny that that that happens cuz it it does happen.
The thing is like it's not normal though. like that should not be something that is normalized or celebrated. And in today's culture, it's both of those things.
Now, the culture is kind of going in the other other direction where that's not as normalized or celebrated anymore, you know, and even a lot of left-wingers such as Bill Maher really speak out against it now, but it has been normalized and even celebrated for the longest time. And that is definitely not not correct and not conducive to a good society. And then, you know, but it's how we handle that, you know.
I mean, And I think we would agree that you know children and this is where we're this is where America is now an outlier country. We're the only country that went full and I guess Trump is reversing it but certainly under Biden who went fully toward that like we don't care what age kids can self diagnose themselves. I mean that that to me was going way too far on this again.
Nobody just comes back to the sensible center. Yeah. I mean, to me, the sensible center is that like you respect people, you trust parents, you let parents figure out what to do with their kids, and you don't need a bunch of politicians in Washington.
That is not the Democratic position, at least here in California. Well, that's my position. I I'm good.
I'm good. That's I think that's where the Democratic Party. That is not the position that we've had here in California, which is like don't tell the parents what the kids are doing at school.
That's a whole and that you really alienate voters. Parents are voters. When you're not a parent yet, you know, it's like, oh, voting, whatever.
You know, sex is not a spectrum. I mean, it's male and female. There are some people with very unusual conditions who deserve absolute sympathy and support, but that does not mean that we're a hemaphroditic species.
We're just not. No, but no, not the whole species. But this goes back.
I mean, like I mean, I don't want to use the term chicks with dicks, but I could. did. I mean, this goes back to like an ancient Rome and like there was always people who were like not quite it.
It's not hard to get to toleration and acceptance without rewriting biology. Right. Right.
It's a norm. That's your normal. Uh what is the legacy of Paul River's Bidnot ride which was 250 years ago today?
Uh, the fact that no under for under 40 knows what the [ __ ] I'm talking about. Maybe 60. Yeah, right.
Maybe 60. Um, well, maybe the legacy is that we decided we didn't want a king and oh, what the [ __ ] Here we have one. Right.
These people are mentally sick, man. He's so He's so rentree in all of their heads. It's actually hilarious.
Like, they cannot have a conversation about anything. Like what does Paul Rivere I I to be honest with you I don't know. Is that like a show or something?
Like I know who Paul River is, but like is Paul River's Midnight Ride? Is that like a some kind of TV show? I don't have a clue.
But um anyway, like they can't talk about Paul Rivere without bringing up Donald Trump. He's just so rentree. Like in what way do we have a king?
How does that even make any sense? Like that doesn't make any sense at all. Like it it's not even close.
He he has no more power than the average president. He's just the president. He has the same amount of power that every other president has had.
What are they talking about? Like I I'm genuinely confused. And if somebody could explain to me in the comments, like why do they call Donald Trump a king?
I don't get it. Um, what does the panel think of RFK Jr. announcing he will find the cause of autism by September of this year?
Uh, I think it's when OJ finds the real killer. I think it's I I mean, well, he's dead, so that's not going to happen. Well, I would say, you know, this is why people think he's a quack, because you can't you're not going to put a date on something they've been looking into for 30 years.
That's right. And say we're going to have it by September. It's not going to be, oh, it's the gummy bears.
That might be something That might be something you say if you think you already know the answer to the question. and you're asking and you're going to deliver the answer in September. Right.
He did speak on what I read in the paper is he did speak on it this week. And I did not agree with the point of view of the article I was reading which was that he's completely crazy because he was saying it's not mostly genetic, it's mostly environmental toxins. I happen to believe that's probably a more likely answer.
And they were saying, well, no, genetics and like could of course genetics is involved in everything healthwise, but to present the the the argument I saw framed in that way that he's a cook cuz he think it's coming. I mean, environmental toxins is really the story of my lifetime. I'm glad I was born as old as I am at a time when everything wasn't completely polluted.
I think that's why I'm still alive today. And it just got worse and worse and worse. And I mean, wait and I'm I'm a little confused how like what is Bill Maher talking about?
That's why he's alive today. Is he trying to say that like young people are not going to be living as long as him? Because the age the the life expectancy just continues to rise.
So like I'm not really sure what that means. Um little confused, but I you know I will agree that like the things are being polluted, right? the air is being polluted and stuff like that.
Do I care enough to like, you know, inconvenience myself by getting, you know, losing some of the things that I get convenience by that also pollute the air? I'm going to be honest. Nah, not really.
I I'll just take the air pollution and uh keep my conveniences, you know, like just just being real with you. I know that that's very, you know, a lot of people say that that's super ignorant to say or whatever. I I don't really care, man.
Like nothing ever happens. The earth is going to change, right? The earth has always been changing since the beginning of time.
There's going to be different landscapes. The ice is going to melt. The ice is going to reform.
The, you know, the water is going to erode land and new land will pop up in the middle of the ocean somewhere. Like, it's just going to keep happening as as time goes on no matter what we do, right? Things are going to change and, you know, we can do about it.
You know, it's mother nature. We can't control it. At least as far as we know, we can't control it.
Let me know in the comments what you guys think about what Bill Maher had to say about identity politics and how we shut down this Democrat official on the panel for saying that uh you know she she tries to take the road of like well I think parents should just be allowed to do their jobs and like yeah well that's not what any other Democrat thinks and I'm sure that if you weren't on Bill Maher's show and you were on some left-wing show you wouldn't be saying that. You you're just saying that so you can get more votes and get people to like you in the audience. Like these people are just so transparent.
Like they're so easy to see right through. Anyway, let me know in the comments you guys think about this whole Bill Maher situation here.
