Bill Maher EVISCERATES Neil deGrasse Tyson On Transgender Athletes CONTROVERSY

Robby, Niall, and Amber are the absolute best team in news right now. Keep up the awesome work, Rising crew!

[@Eye8apie]

The fact that Tyson couldn’t just say what was said in the article was wrong says everything you need to know about him.

[@brianmeen2158]

Yes he’s terrified of the far left .. how did we get here? If Neil said men are better than women in most sports - surely he would not lose his job or career…?

[@user-eg6nq7qt8c]

Startalk is still a good podcast though.

[@GML_123.]

It’s not the transgender issue, it’s the craziness, a medical journal can’t acknowledge certain things about gender that are obvious to everybody, or a Supreme Court Justice could not identify what a woman is, or that a researcher would not release their findings on transition surgeries among our youth because of the unfavorable results,. The madness, I hope it ends..

[@Games_and_Music]

Indeed, Bill has taken some wrong turns, but he's right about this stuff. He also pointed this out during the show, saying that if people cannot take a stance on this stuff, then how are the voters supposed to trust anything else that they're saying? Even going as far as saying that they lost the crazy contest to an actual crazy person. Only now does he sorta 'realize' that people actually wanted change, and preferably it would've been Bernie in '16 or '20, but yeah, first there's 4 years of this.

[@flourishingweee]

He laughs hard when truth hits him apparently.

[@alexandru5369]

It's a nervous laugh

[@KonigGustavAdolph]

Can we all appreciate how Niall handled this compared to what Nomiki would have done?

[@CRHK88]

Science is broken, especially if people like Tyson are our ambassadors.

[@khatdubell]

The problem is conglomerating all science into a single category. I'm sure he knows what he is talking about when it comes to cosmology, just like i'm sure bill nye knows what he's talking about when assembling a shelf. I'm not taking either of their advice on medicine of biology.

[@Yemaso1]

Niall is the best host to represent left. he makes them seem sane again

[@viktorfunk1819]

Neill deGrasse Tyson has never expressed a thought beyond the level of a high school student

[@losthighway5967]

He cares more about trying to keep the widest audience than being true to science. As progrssivism goes farther and farther to the left it gets harder and harder for him to keep the left and still be true to logical reality.

[@gugy68]

He should stay in his lane. He was great on the Cosmos show, he is really good at delivering that info BUT he definitely is awful on politics and social commentary. The guy ego is just out of control after he became a "celebrity".

[@Games_and_Music]

Yeah, i unsubbed from StarTalk a couple years ago, a pity though, it used to be fun to watch, until certain topics got shoehorned in. He is/was great as a science communicator, but yeah, it doesn't work when he lets his lips get sealed on these things. And also, he would be surprised how much change a couple of hormone patches can bring, curves can be grown, so they can pick and choose which specific type of swimming they want to excel at, and maybe regular male muscle mass might overcome that slight advantage anyway, we won't know until it is tested.

[@Shamanized]

This is such a high school student thing to say. You might as well stick the word "literally" in there

[@joyced25]

I'm so glad you guys are covering this. Who had Bill Maher being a voice of reason in 2024?

[@Mkrake2024]

He can be on some issues, but wait a few minutes and he is bound to say something which reminds us a rich guy who lives in a mansion in the hollywood hills isn't most in touch.

[@deadgolfer6345]

[@Games_and_Music]

Yeah, we can acknowledge that it isn't the biggest object out there, and maybe some objects in the Kuiper Belt might be bigger, who cares, but i think Pluto could still be the 'face' of Kuiper Belt planetoids, a representative of them, technically maybe not a planet itself, but at least it registers on the general scale of things in the Solar System.

[@chocomalk]

It's people like Neil that make people rightfully critical of science being interpreted or having a consensus. Everyone is open to bias....and money.

Tyson is running scared because he had a Me Too problem. So he just parrots all the nonsense to keep his position.

Used to hold him in some respect, but then he equated the trans-controversy to wanting to wear make-up some days and not shave other days.

I used to love listening to Tyson. He got real weird with the transgender stuff a few years ago. I wonder who got to him. The long distance swimming isn't accurate. The gap closes (percentage wise), but they aren't racing neck and neck. Look at the Iron Man swimming 2.4 mile swim you don't see the top tier men exiting the water with a bunch of women. The average male time is over 5 minutes faster in the Iron Man Swim.

[@rembeadgc]

"Science" doesn't happen in a vacuum, so to speak. To the degree that science affects people's lives and decisions, it also figures into ethics, civics and politics. So, agendas, ideologies, philosophies and vices influence science as much as anything else.... as long as human hands are on it. Anyone who tries to signal virtue behind a banner of "science" should be viewed with extreme skepticism.

[@Kreln1221]

🧐 *It's not a matter of theology, tradition, culture, values, or any other higher brain conceptual idea..., although it does conflict with those higher concepts... The main issue is that it's at odds with the basic biologically programmed and ingrained mandate of every life form on Earth, and that is a desire and struggle to get your genes to live on and multiply after your death... While many modern humans may choose to override and disregard these innate primal drives, and they lead happy, successful, and fulfilling lives..., the majority of humans, just like any other species on Earth, operate by those same primal instincts to have their genes live on and multiply in others after their death, even if only on a subconscious level... It's why, whether Father God or Mother Nature, pick your preference, instilled "lust" in us, to get babies made in the first place, and "love" in us, so we would band together in family groups to protect those feeble babies for roughly two decades, so that the offspring will be of fertile age before being left to the wild... However, this "Modern Message" agenda is a direct threat to millions of parents and aspiring parents, even if on a purely subconscious level. Why invest two decades of your life to raising the little gene bags we call children, in the hopes that they'll take your genes and carry them far into the future, if schools, and TVs, and movies, and Scientific American, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson are all suggesting to your kids, whether vaguely or implicitly, that they may actually be the opposite gender of what they physically are, and that it's perfectly fine to stunt your development with puberty blockers, and even though a person may not legally decide to have intercourse with another person until they are legally an adult, well after puberty, (and rightly so), yet it's perfectly fine for an adolescent that hasn't even entered puberty to decide to have these permanently life altering, and often sterilizing, treatments and surgeries... On a subconscious core of your being level, to a parent aspiring to be a grandparent, is there much difference between someone kidnapping your child, surgically sterilizing them, and then returning them home..., or someone enamoring, and then talking your child into going and having themselves "transitioned", permanently sterilizing themselves for life?... The end result is the same... Your genes die off with you and your child...*
