1804 - Bill Maher
On Tuesday's installment of "The Joe Rogan Experience," the two comedians slammed the idea of policing thought, prompting Maher to cite "our friend" Elon Musk's growing involvement with Twitter, which he himself endorsed on Friday, suspecting the Tesla CEO will combat censorship and defend free speech.

Maher said that he believes there is a "hunger" for "common sense" in American politics and pushed back on the idea that he has become more conservative, arguing instead that the left has become "goofier."
"People say to me ‘don’t you think you’ve gotten more conservative?’ No, I haven’t. The left has gotten goofier, so I seem more conservative, maybe. But, like it’s not me who changed," Maher told Rogan, before listing progressive talking points he disagrees with, including abolishing the police, excessive government spending, the idea that men can be pregnant and that people should freely loot stores with minimal punishment.

"It wasn't cool that [Twitter] didn't allow the lab-leak theory to be talked about," Maher said. "For months, you couldn't even mention it. And that is certainly something that was open to question. I mean, it was like, to me the very kind of issue that if Twitter was really doing the job it should- would be a healthy forum for people to go back and forth and say, 'Well, here's why I think COVID probably came from bats because A, B and C' and then, 'Well, but you know, there was this lab in Wuhan that was studying coronaviruses and somebody could have walked out with it on their shoe. Can't we even look into that?' For Twitter to take that off, that to me was a huge red flag."
