As he argued that humans hurt the environment, he concluded that it would be better for Earth for more people to "not have kids, die and stay dead."
The far-left comedian launched into his commentary at the end of the show's regular "New Rules" segment. After an entry in which he mused over the possibilty of former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen being put in a cage on The Twilight Zone, Maher brought up studies on young people and sex:
And finally, new rule, let's take a break from bashing millennials for their safe spaces, man buns, and avocado toast; and give them credit for doing something right: having less sex than other generations, and so less babies, which is good for the planet.He and the audience then applauded before he began citing study results. He then continued: "But instead of asking why America's young people are having less sex -- let's just be glad they are. Earth Day is coming up, and I can't think of a better gift to our planet than pumping out fewer humans to destroy it."
After complaining about "climate deniers" not believing the world is overpopulated, he fearmongered about Earth's future: "So it's no wonder millennials are freaking out about having kids. They and generation Z are waking up en masse to the idea that, way too early in their lifetimes, the planet is going to be a shit show."
Comment: Yeah -- but certainly not because of "global warming" and all of the so-called human "causes" of it that would make Maher say the ill-informed things he says on his show.
He cited New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes as someone who had brought up the issue of whether young people should choose not to have children, as he also derided her critics as "fossils."
Comment: Maher probably defends AOC's marketing of a comprehensive and totalitarian re-structuring of society as per her Green New Deal as well: Beware Agenda 21 And Its Green New Deal: Plundering The World Under The Guise of 'Sustainable Development'
And, after continuing to argue that humans are bad for the environment, he ended up concluding that more people should refuse to reproduce and then die: "So, please, masturbate -- don't procreate. Yank it until Trump is throwing paper towels at you. And remember, the best thing you can do for Earth is not have kids, die, and stay dead."

LMAO I love the stay dead bit tambien
Bill Maher's hugest betrayal to the whole concept of truth, was his early and continuing volunteering to be the point-man (in show biz) to make fun of those who question 9/11/01; which he still does, last I was aware of.
I wonder how much more wealthy, famous and powerful he is as a direct result of his public embracing of all positions ridiculing 9/11/01 'truthers', etc.* I guess right there one could find, in dollars and cents, what his soul is worth. (I'd prefer to lose all possessions, and find myself without ANY assets and living under a bridge, than make such a trade.)

*Only in a place with a moral sense that is 180 degrees off of true, could the term 'truther' be considered denigratory/denigrating.

"I just wonder what it would be like to be reincarnated in an animal whose species had been so reduced in numbers than it was in danger of extinction. What would be its feelings toward the human species whose population explosion had denied it somewhere to exist... I must confess that I am tempted to ask for reincarnation as a particularly deadly virus."
