‘It’s where common sense goes to die’: Bill Maher joins Dr Phil McGraw in calling out woke insanity

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Renowned comedian and political pundit Bill Maher continues to be a vocal critic of what he perceives as the troubling rise of woke ideologies.

Positioned as a prominent figure on the left, Maher staunchly opposes what he terms "woke insanity" and emerges as a defender of common sense—an increasingly scarce commodity in contemporary discussions.

Maher's unyielding stance against wokeness

According to outkick, despite the prevailing trend among some on his side of the political spectrum, Maher refuses to temper his stance or align with those who embrace woke ideologies.

His resolute commitment to calling out what he deems the "woke mob" underscores his determination not to be silenced.

In a notable alliance with Maher's perspective, popular psychologist and TV personality Dr Phil McGraw has joined the chorus, urging individuals to overcome their fear and speak out against the perceived nonsense associated with wokeness.

"A lot of your book is about stuff that we share in common. The idea that wokeness, which started out as a great thing - alert to injustice - all down for that, and it morphed into something else. Now, it's where common sense goes to die," Maher told Dr Phil during the Friday, March 1, episode of 'Real Time With Bill Maher'.

Dr Phil's call to action aligns with Maher's narrative, emphasizing the need to confront and challenge the impact of woke ideologies on the nation. Dr Phil states, "People that have nothing to hide, hide nothing," when asked if President Joe Biden should undergo cognitive testing.

"The percentage of people that are unwilling to speak out and say what they think has tripled since 1950. It's easier not to say anything. It's coming at a very high cost, if we allow our narrative in America to be highjacked by these fringe factions on either tail of the distribution here," said Dr Phil.

Challenging misconceptions

Maher's distinct voice in the liberal domain echoes a sentiment that challenges prevailing notions, such as the denial of biological differences between men and women.

Additionally, Maher points to the uncertainty surrounding the definition of womanhood by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, alongside misconceptions about firearms, exemplified by the belief that AR-15s can be modified to shoot 800 rounds per second.

Maher underscores a broader concern about people marching in support of terrorists and the constant assault on free speech.

Dr Phil's bold challenge to test Biden's mental fitness

The narrative takes an intriguing turn with Dr Phil's recent comments on President Joe Biden's cognitive abilities.

Speaking on 'Real Time With Bill Maher,' Dr Phil suggested that individuals with nothing to hide should undergo cognitive testing, implicitly referencing concerns about the 81-year-old President's occasional memory lapses and verbal gaffes.

The call for a cognitive test adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding President Biden's fitness for office.

Dr Phil's remarks come as Biden continues facing criticism over occasional memory lapses and verbal gaffes that have raised bipartisan questions over his ability to handle the demands of the presidency at age 81, as per New York Post.

While the White House maintains that Biden is mentally sharp and capable, recent instances of confused world leader names, factual inaccuracies, and mistaken historical references have fueled bipartisan questions about the President's ability to fulfill the demands of the presidency.

Biden's claims of speaking with deceased foreign leaders and confusion regarding the presidents of Mexico and Egypt during a press conference have further intensified the scrutiny surrounding his cognitive capabilities.
