Bill Maher Bursts Patton Oswalt’s ‘Bluesky Bubble’ With A Dose Of Reality

Bill Maher had to school Patton Oswalt on what the Democratic Party has said about certain topics, accusing him of being in a “Bluesky bubble” and not knowing what’s going on.

The conversation took place during Monday’s episode of the “Club Random” podcast, as Maher complained that liberals were leaning too far left and embracing increasingly radical policies. “The Left freaked out about a lot of bullsh**,” Maher said. “Gender, race, parenthood, schools, homelessness, crime, the border, education. We stopped being a scientific people.”

“But the Left certainly stayed scientific,” Oswalt insisted.

“No, they didn’t,” Maher replied, to which Oswalt asked, “Why not?”

“Because they think gender bullsh** that they went way too far with … What makes us a great country is that we respect minorities. We don’t think they’re lesser just because they’re lesser in numbers. That’s not what we started to teach, which was that every baby is — I don’t know — let’s not even put it on the birth certificate. That’s what they wanted.”

 “When were we teaching that?” Oswalt asked.

“Teaching it — it was a law here in California,” Maher explained. “Don’t put sex on the birth certificate. ‘We’ll see.’ Now, we’ve passed that period now.”

Oswalt said he didn’t remember that, prompting Maher to shoot back, “Because it doesn’t get in the Bluesky bubble.”

At another point in the conversation, Maher asked Oswalt his opinion on immigration from Muslim countries and the negative effects it’s had on certain places, using the example of grooming gangs in the U.K. 

Maher asked the comedian if he knew about Pakistani grooming gangs, prompting Oswalt to jokingly ask if Maher was talking about the British royal family.

“See, that’s a big story. This is in the UK. That went on from like the 80s to the present … I’m talking about Pakistani men, who are immigrants, who were grooming poor, impoverished, white girls mostly and making them into prostitutes and sex slaves and like really nasty sh** that would pass for more normal in a traditional Pakistani society where women are not considered equal citizens,” Maher explained.

When asked how he could miss the story, Oswalt said he got his news from The Guardian and that it hadn’t been featured there. 

Maher has been vocally frustrated with the extremes of his party recently and has made enemies on the Left by calling them out for it. But he’s not fully red-pilled yet. At another point in the conversation, Maher claimed that representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) would be a “fantastic candidate” for the White House if she “had some deprogramming.”
