Even Bill Maher thinks Kanye West’s rhetoric is too much.
According to the controversial HBO host, he recently recorded a two-hour podcast with West — Maher, a 68-year-old man, hosts a podcast called “Club Random” in which he smokes blunts and drinks whiskey in what appears to be his basement — however, it will never see the light of day.
Bill tells us the biggest problem with Kanye is how he uses his massive platform to spread antisemitic propaganda … as BM puts it, Ye’s spreading the fertilizer for antisemitism to grow.
While Bill tried to have a meaningful dialogue with Kanye, bringing him in for a two-hour conversation on the “Club Random With Bill Maher” podcast, Bill says he ultimately decided against airing the episode because he didn’t want to amplify Kanye’s nasty rhetoric.

It’s unclear exactly how Maher expected his interview with West to go, as the 46-year-old has spent much of the last few years spewing antisemitic rhetoric when given a platform to do so, hence his being banned from various social media services.
Maher’s claims about West are reminiscent of an incident in late 2022 which saw the increasingly deranged rapper appear on Alex Jones’ InfoWars program and act so erratically that even Jones — who is in the hole over $1 billion for his lies about the Sandy Hook shooting — was left stunned.
