Comedian and HBO host Bill Maher voiced his surprise when “The Young Turks” host Ana Kasparian declared her opposition to men in women’s spaces — particularly locker rooms. Maher was speaking to Kasparian on his “Club Random” podcast when he raised the topic, prompting Kasparian to quickly agree, despite suggesting that she wasn’t “supposed” to have a problem with biological men in women’s spaces.

I just don’t!” MAHER: “So good to hear you say that. Really good. I did not expect that.”@DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/RfsPvp6X9N — Jason Cohen ?? (@JasonJournoDC) December 8, 2025 Kasparian realized where Maher was going with the conversation, and began to protest that he was going to get her “in trouble.” “Why? There’s no trouble for you. Your life is trouble,” Maher replied. “I’m supposed to be totally okay with it. Is it bad that I don’t want to see a d*** in the women’s locker room? Is that bad?” Kasparian asked. “No,” Maher replied, laughing. “I just don’t. I don’t want to see a c*** in the women’s locker room,” Kasparian continued. “And you shouldn’t,” Maher agreed. “No woman should. I mean, this is basic 101.” Maher went on to excoriate the political Left for adopting positions that were “counterintuitive” and “not helping” in the name of progress. “Yeah, you want to champion women, and you didn’t. You did the opposite. You made them uncomfortable, and unnecessarily, in many ways,” he continued. “When you see everything as a hierarchy — everything is a hierarchy — well then, inevitably you’re going to find yourself in a situation where the rights of one group kind of falls by the wayside,” Kasparian explained. “It’s a zero-sum game,” Maher interjected. “And I don’t see it that way,” Kasparian declared, adding that she took particular issue with the idea of “self-ID” being the law of the land. “As you and I both know, there are all sorts of predators out there who are gonna take advantage of that situation, and that’s already happened.” “This is not an indictment of transgender people. It’s an indictment of a policy that was not thought through. And as a result, there are women who are going to suffer,” Kasparian said after laying out just one example. “And as a result, there are transgender people who are going to suffer because people are going to make the mistake of thinking, ‘Oh, well, that guy was transgender, and this is how they behave.’ No. This is not how they behave. We need to be smarter about these policies. It’s that simple.” “So, good to hear you say that. Really good. I did not expect that,” Maher replied.

Actress Sydney Sweeney just addressed the viral backlash against her following the American Eagle jeans campaign, not explicitly admitting to being woke but instead saying she is “against hate.” Mostly, the 28-year-old star just expressed confusion about why everyone was up in arms over the ad campaign. “I was honestly surprised by the reaction,” Sweeney told People in an interview published over the weekend. “I did it because I love the jeans and love the brand. I don’t support the views some people chose to connect to the campaign. Many have assigned motives and labels to me that just aren’t true.” “Anyone who knows me knows that I’m always trying to bring people together. I’m against hate and divisiveness,” she continued. “In the past my stance has been to never respond to negative or positive press but recently I have come to realize that my silence regarding this issue has only widened the divide, not closed it. So I hope this new year brings more focus on what connects us instead of what divides us.” The comments come after many assumed Sweeney was a closet conservative, as evidenced by her being registered as a Republican and her unwillingness to comment on the American Eagle controversy when it happened, including when confronted by an aggressive GQ journalist last month in a viral exchange.  Controversy erupted over the summer over an ad campaign featuring Sweeney in various seductive poses while saying she had “good jeans.” The double entendre with the word “genes” made leftists deem the ad racist, noting that Sweeney is white with blond hair and blue eyes. In one of the ads, Sweeney says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.” American Eagle responded to the backlash by issuing a simple statement: “’Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.” The denim collection did exceptionally well, with most of the featured pieces selling out despite calls from leftists for a boycott.
