Bill Maher doesn’t have children, so he wants to know, “Why am I always having to defend them?”
“I don’t even like kids,” the host of HBO’s “Real Time” told viewers on Friday. “But I also think it’s every adult’s job to protect them.”
Maher’s remarks came in response to the shocking Netflix documentary, “Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.”
“OMG. Nickelodeon? It wasn’t a studio. It was Neverland Ranch with craft services,” Maher said, referring to the controversial home of the late Michael Jackson.
The Netflix documentary is “scene after scene, clip after clip of the child stars of their day being subjected to obviously inappropriate, highly sexualized degradation and quite a few pickles going through glory holes,” he said.
“It turns out for pedophiles in Hollywood, ‘It’s A Small World After All,’” he wrote on X where it got the attention of Elon Musk.
Wow, Bill Maher hits the bullseye 🎯 https://t.co/WKmBXuw4UT

According to Maher, the documentary didn’t just expose “a dangerous workplace,” it “also exposed hypocrisy.”
“Because,” the liberal said, “it must be pointed out that when the evil governor of Florida was saying the exact same thing about kids and creepy stuff at Disney that liberals now find intolerable at Nickelodeon, he was dismissed as a hick and a bigot.”
It was an unexpected defense of Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his battle against the media giant.
Progressives are going to come after Bill Maher for this.
He’s daring to challenge their gender ideology.
That’s almost as bad for them as saying abortion is wrong.
Maher is correct in what he says here.
Hands off the children.

“But why would a kids’ content factory like Disney be all that different than the one at Nickelodeon?” Mahar asked viewers.
Citing a CNN report, he noted that, in 2014, “35 Disney employees had been arrested for sex crimes against children.”
“[I]n 2021,” he continued, “Disney child star Alyson Stoner confessed she only ‘narrowly survived the toddler-to-trainwreck pipeline.‘ The next year, child star Cole Sprouse told The New York Times that young actresses at the Disney Channel were ‘heavily sexualized’ from an early age.”
“Willie Sutton said he robbed banks because that’s where the money is,” Maher said, “and the reason we find pedophiles in the Boy Scouts and the rectory and kids’ TV is that’s where the kids are.”
“DeSantis wasn’t wrong,” he stated. “But we’re so tribal now, the left will overlook child f*cking if the guy from the wrong party calls it out.”
“Sure, Nickelodeon messed up Amanda Bynes,” he added, “but The Mickey Mouse Club was where Britney Spears got her start, and she’s perfectly fine. And get this: After Brian Peck, who was one of the lead creeps at Nickelodeon, served 16 months in prison for the molesting he did there, Disney hired him, naturally, to work on a children’s series.”
Thank you. When I was a Hollywood reporter for a decade in LA, it was so difficult to get them to listen, including about Victor Salva of jeepers creepers. Disney hired a convicted pedophile on purpose. Nobody would listen to me then. Now they do but some lives are already lost.

In his explosive rant, Maher went on to call out Instagram moms and drag queen story hours, saying the problem is “not just Hollywood.”
“There are Instagram moms these days who are practically OnlyFans-ing their itty-bitty beauty queen daughters by having them wear skimpy bikinis and eat bananas to build social media stardom,” he said. “… And people who believe in social justice have agreed this is wrong and this is bad and exposing kids to an adult world of lurid costumes and garish makeup borders on abuse. Now, hurry up and get in the car, we’re late for drag queen story hour.”
“Not that there’s anything wrong with being a drag queen,” he continued, “but maybe it’s time to admit that, sometimes, drag queen story hour is more for the queen than the kids. Sure, kids love a clown, but does the clown have to have tits?”
Maher declared that he isn’t going to let Democrats bully him into going along with the agenda.
“When I see a five-year-old tipping at a bar under a sign that says, ‘It’s not going to lick itself,’ do I have to pretend that’s cool in order to keep my liberal ID card?” he asked. “Sorry, I can’t do that.”
“If you want kids to be more tolerant, why not have handicapped people read them stories?” he reasoned. “Kids are more likely to encounter disabled people than drag queens in life.”
“Wokeness,” Maher said, “is not an extension of liberalism anymore.”
“It’s more often taking something so far that it becomes the opposite,” he explained. “Teaching kids not to hate or judge those who are different, great. Proud we got there. All for that.”
“But, at a certain point, inclusion becomes promotion, and contrary to current progressive dogma, children aren’t miniature adults wise beyond their years. They’re morons,” he said. “They’re gullible morons who’ll believe anything and just want to please grown-ups, and they don’t have any frame of reference, so they normalize whatever’s happening.
“That’s why endlessly talking about gender to six-year-olds isn’t just inappropriate, it’s what the law would call entrapment, which means enticing people into doing something they wouldn’t ordinarily do.”
Bill Maher hits it out of the park in this monologue. Thank you sir for bringing this topic up and highlighting the truth.

“There’s a certain kind of activist these days who wants to take heterosexuality — old school, old fashioned, boring, minding-its-own business heterosexuality — and lump it in with patriarchy and sexism and racism and tell kids, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if you were anything but that?’” Maher noted. “It also seems to be the theme of kind of a lot of kids’ books these days.”
After saying that he “never used the phrase gay agenda, because I thought it was mostly nonsense, and it is, mostly,” Maher played a clip of Disney Executive Producer Latoya Raveneau discussing exactly that.
“Look, I’m all for adding queerness wherever,” Maher told viewers. “I put some in my drink before I came out here tonight.”
“But maybe we should think about giving kids a break from our culture wars for a minute,” he suggested, “or at least until the election is over.”
