I never had to worry about that in my little town, whatever color it was,\u201d Maher said. \u201cWe just went to school. You went to school \u2026 they taught you the basics; they taught you the s***. I didn\u2019t leave that school until I knew basically everything that a normal, intelligent person should know. Not anything from Nobel Prize winner in literature or science, just a regular person would know these things and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/west-virginia-to-pay-people-age-16-35-to-get-covid-19-vaccine\/\" title=\"West Virginia To Pay People Age 16-35 To Get COVID-19 Vaccine\">kids today<\/a> know nothing. You don\u2019t have to know anything and they will sign that diploma and kick you out the door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the main issues Maher cited was the ongoing war between Israel and the terror group Hamas, saying that young people appeared to be uneducated on the history of the region \u2013 but they were getting involved in protests and political activism despite their lack of understanding: it \u201cdoesn\u2019t sap their confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is what is so bad about the kids, getting back to that, not knowing anything. They think, oh, let\u2019s give communism another try,\u201d Maher said, coming back around to the topic a bit later. \u201cNo, kids! We did try it! We did try it. Vladimir Lenin took over Moscow in 1917, and it was a long experiment and it was horrible, so we don\u2019t need to try that again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I don\u2019t know, we got Lucifer in the world right now,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump?\u201d Maher attempted to get Williams to clarify.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just saying Lucifer,\u201d Williams repeated.<\/p>\n<p>Maher tried again: \u201cOh, you mean literally?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just saying Lucifer,\u201d was all Williams would say.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can watch the podcast here: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent episode of Bill Maher&#8217;s &#8220;Club Random&#8221; podcast, &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; actor Billy Dee Williams expressed concern about today&#8217;s youth.
