Bill Maher and comedian David Cross found themselves at odds during a heated discussion about transgender issues and the “looney left,” with Maher humorously remarking, “Good luck with President Vance,” on his podcast.
During a Monday episode of Maher’s podcast, “Club Random,” the two debated the topic of transgender women in female sports. The conversation intensified when Cross mentioned that his 9-year-old daughter has transgender friends in her third-grade class.
Cross acknowledged that he resides in a “bubble,” expressing a desire to shield his daughter from the negative influences outside it. This admission shifted the dialogue towards transgender rights and the participation of transgender women in women’s sports.
Maher shared a story involving Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton from Massachusetts, who has previously voiced concerns about transgender women competing in female sports.
According to Maher, Moulton once stated, “I don’t want my 12-year-old daughter on the soccer field being overpowered by someone identifying as a woman but biologically male,” a sentiment that reportedly received applause from many.
“I mean, we saw in the Olympics a okay, born a man, now fighting as a woman boxer just beat the dog s–t out of a woman, the other boxer. A lot of people were disturbed by that.
“It’s very disturbing to watch because it’s a man beating the s–t out of a woman. I’m just saying there’s stuff inside the bubble that could be bad.”
Cross claimed he’s seen pre-pubescent girls “kick the s–t out of boys” as he tried to challenge the host.
“This is what’s wrong with the looney left, they just die on the hills that are unnecessary to die on,” Maher said.
Later on in the show, Cross mentioned how his daughter has transgender friends at school.
“Wait, she has trans friends in third grade?” Maher quizzically asked. “They know they’re trans in third grade?”
Maher tried to argue that children of that age are not old enough to decide what gender they want to be.
“I knew somebody who said to me, a woman said ‘I was with what they called a tomboy. If I was alive now and acted the way I did then, that’s what they would have done to me,’” he said, recalling a past conversation.
“Well nobody’s doing this to her,” Cross said.
“Somebody is doing something because 8 or 9-year-olds can’t do anything on their own,” Maher clapped back.
After they agreed to disagree, Maher quipped: “Good luck with President Vance.
“As I always say to my woke friends, we voted for the same person. You’re just why she lost. This is a case of that.”
Cross was visibly stunned as he said: “Wait, what?”
“We voted for the same person, You’re just why she lost,” Maher repeated.
“America hears this and they’re going to go ‘Bill’s right, eight-year-olds can’t really make decisions on their own like this.
“That’s what most people are going to say. And this is where the Democrats are with David Cross living in Brooklyn with Mamdami loving, and this is why, you know, we’re going to vote for JD Vance. That’s America in a nutshell.”
