In a recent episode of the podcast “Club Random,” comedian and commentator Bill Maher boldly voiced his opinions about Neil DeGrasse Tyson, publicly criticizing the “celebrity scientist” for pandering to the sensitivities of “woke” college students.
“These people are f****** nuts, and you should be calling them out. Somebody like you, who has standing with kids,” Maher asserted.
When the topic of Bill Maher’s decision to stop performing stand-up comedy on college campuses due to “woke students ruining comedy” came up, a heated debate ensued between these two prominent figures.
Tyson criticized Maher, accusing him of “giving up on an entire generation” and not adapting to the modern times.
“I’ve given up on any place that doesn’t even remotely attempt to believe in free speech,” Maher said. “And… anything that they hear that they don’t like, that they don’t agree with is violence. These people are f****** nuts and you should be calling them out. Somebody like you, who has standing with kids.”
“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****** spoiled kids’ lives and they ruin their own lives because the kids rule the roost. So, what you’re doing on a national level,” Maher continued.
In addition to praising present-day universities, Neil DeGrasse Tyson has actively endorsed transgenderism and leftist ideologies to his large fan base in recent years.
He has also been vocal about accepting and allowing biological men who identify as women to participate in female sports, regardless of the potential harm to biological female athletes.

Why did Bill Maher decide to stop performing stand-up comedy on college campuses?
In a recent episode of the podcast “Club Random,” comedian and commentator Bill Maher expressed his strong opinions about Neil DeGrasse Tyson, criticizing the “celebrity scientist” for pandering to the sensitivities of “woke” college students. This bold statement by Maher sparked a heated debate between these two prominent figures.
Maher, known for his unfiltered and controversial commentary, called out Tyson for not challenging the beliefs of today’s young generation. ”These people are f****** nuts, and you should be calling them out,” Maher asserted. He accused Tyson of having the platform and influence to address the issues caused by extreme political correctness but choosing not to do so.
The discussion was ignited when Maher revealed his decision to stop performing stand-up comedy on college campuses due to what he perceived as “woke students ruining comedy.” Tyson, on the other hand, criticized Maher’s stance, accusing him of giving up on an entire generation and failing to adapt to the modern times. Tyson emphasized the importance of engaging with young people and guiding them towards a more inclusive and progressive mindset.
Maher defended his position by highlighting the lack of free speech on college campuses. “I’ve given up on any place that doesn’t even remotely attempt to believe in free speech,” he said. He criticized the notion that anything someone disagrees with or finds offensive is considered as violence. Maher contended that by avoiding controversial conversations, parents and authority figures are doing a disservice to both themselves and the younger generation.
Apart from his comments on the topic of “woke students,” Maher also took aim at Tyson’s views on transgenderism and leftist ideologies. Maher accused Tyson of endorsing these ideologies and aligning himself with the progressive agenda. Specifically, Tyson’s support for transgender athletes participating in female sports, irrespective of the potential disadvantages for biological female athletes, was subject to criticism.
Throughout the years, Tyson has actively used his platform to advocate for various causes and ideas. He has dedicated himself to promoting scientific literacy and engaging the public in understanding the wonders of the universe. However, Maher’s comments reflect a growing sentiment among individuals who believe that certain academics and public figures cater to popular beliefs rather than challenging them.
The debate between Bill Maher and Neil DeGrasse Tyson sheds light on the ongoing tension surrounding political correctness and the role of influential figures in shaping public opinion. While both individuals have their own perspectives, it is crucial to encourage open dialogue and engage in respectful debates to navigate the complex issues facing society. Only by exchanging ideas and challenging each other’s beliefs can progress be made towards a more inclusive and informed society.
As the conversation continues, it is essential to recognize the importance of diverse perspectives and the value of engaging with different ideologies. Through thoughtful discourse, we can create a society that encourages critical thinking and respects freedom of expression, while still fostering inclusivity and understanding.
