Bill Maher has hit out at Hollywood for putting kids at risk and called Disney an aphrodisiac for pedophiles.
The HBO host, 68, used his show Real Time with Bill Maher to talk about child safety and insisted it is ‘every adult’s job to protect them.’
He insisted that Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was not wrong in his attempt to crack down on the ‘creepy stuff’ at Disney.
‘As one of the few people in the public eye who’s gone through life and never had kids, someone has to tell me why am I always having to defend them,’ he said.

Maher accused those of the left of being hypocrites when it comes to the safety of children.
‘The reason we find pedophiles in the Boy Scouts and the rectory and kids TV is that’s where the kids are,’ he said.
‘DeSantis wasn’t wrong. But we’re so tribal now, the left will overlook child-f***ing if the guy from the wrong party calls it out.’
He then spoke about how Drag Queen Story Hour trend was sometimes inappropriate with the child audiences.
‘Sure, kids love a clown but does the clown have to have t***,’ he said. ‘And when I see a five-year-old tipping, tipping at a bar under a sign that says “It’s not gonna lick itself,” do I have to pretend that’s cool in order to keep my liberal ID card?
‘Sorry, I can’t do that.’
Maher discussed the documentary series ‘Quiet on Set’ surrounding the culture of sexual misconduct which occurred at Nickelodeon.
He said it was the ‘talk of the town’ in Hollywood but ‘exposed hypocrisy’.
‘I said it before, wokeness is not an extension of liberalism anymore. It’s more often taking something so far that it becomes the opposite,’ he added.

The host likened the portrayal of inappropriate things to children as ‘entrapment’ as they normalize whatever happens.
‘Contrary to progressive dogma, children aren’t miniature adults wise beyond their years. They’re morons. They’re gullible morons who believe anything and just want to please grown-ups,’ Maher said.
‘They don’t have any frame of reference so they normalize whatever is 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.
‘If you think that some of that isn’t going on with gender in schools, you’re not watching enough TikTok videos.
‘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’re anything but that?”‘

‘But a director for Disney Television Animation did say after she was hired, “The showrunners were super welcoming… to my not-so-secret gay agenda.”‘
DeSantis’ war with Disney really ramped up in 2022 after then-CEO Bob Chapek publicly spoke out against the governor’s policies regarding education and specifically the teaching of gender identity and sexual orientation to minors, which critics dubbed the ‘don’t say gay law.’
In a hit back against the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies put in place by Disney, DeSantis started the process of stripping the massive company from its powers in Florida after Chapek’s statements.
Disney agreed to drop its lawsuits against DeSantis last month in a major win for the new board overseeing the land encompassing Walt Disney World Resorts.

Walt Disney Co. made these last-ditch efforts in an attempt to solidify property rights and grant the theme park additional powers as DeSantis appointed a new board to oversee the area and hold the corporation accountable to laws and taxes in Orlando.
DailyMail.com has contacted Disney for comment.
