Bill Maher revealed that he sat down with Kanye West for a two-hour interview on his “Club Random” podcast, but he will not release the episode due to the disgraced rapper’s bigoted views against Jews.
“I thought it was going to be a learning moment.” Maher said on a Feb. 5 episode of “TMZ Investigates” centered on West, titled “Unhinged but Unstoppable.”

“We were here for two hours. By the way, we had an amazing, fun time,” Maher added. “He’s a very charming antisemite. And by the way, he’s not the only one in America who feels that way. It’s not like the Jews are universally loved except for Kanye West.”
Earlier in the interview, Maher said of West: “The problem, I think, is that he appeals mostly — of course he’s a rock star — to young people. They don’t know much and they surely don’t know much about the Middle East or Jews. So the combination of Kanye out there — I feel like he was helpful for spreading the fertilizer, and I do mean fertilizer, for this idea that Israel and the Jews are the worst people in the world.”
TMZ founder Harvey Levin suggested to Maher that “you could say the same thing about Hitler,” in regards to West emboldening other people to voice their antisemitic views. “A lot of people were thinking what he was thinking, but in Kanye’s case, the fact that he’s saying it out loud gives other people permission to say it too, right?” Levin asked.
“Yes, exactly,” Maher said. “That’s why I wouldn’t air that episode, because I’m not going to contribute to this.”
A representative for West did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.
Over the last year and a half, West has become a prominent antisemite, writing on X/Twitter that he would go “death con 3 on Jewish people” and saying on Alex Jones’ show that people should “stop dissing the Nazis,” among dozens of other troubling comments. A Rolling Stone report from December 2022 alleged that West has idolized Adolf Hitler for two decades. He recently rapped, “How I’m antisemitic? I just fukked a Jewish bytch” on his song “Vultures,” and repeatedly peddled antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jews’ control over hospitals and financial institutions. In December 2023, West posted an apology to the Jewish people, written in Hebrew.
After his initial antisemitic outbursts, West was dropped by his agency, CAA, and lost his fashion partnerships with Adidas, Balenciaga and Gap. Foot Locker and TJ Maxx also ceased selling apparel from West’s Yeezy brand.
See how cacs are on code.

Why was crime statistics higher during the 80s and 90s for Chicago?
These nikkas doing crime anyways because of disparity and proximity
Music or no music
This statistics is probably true for all these negro inner city crime hubs as a cac would say
Go compare the murder statistics from the 80s and 90s and then compare it to today
The music ain't the catalyst for this shyt, it's the financial disparity and proximity

That's capOnly low level thinkers think music doesn't have the ability to affect the thought patterns and even the actions of the masses whether positively or negatively.
The affects of music is literally everywhere.
Some of you initially started smoking & drinking because of how "cool" music made it seem to you but will come in here and say music has no affects
People would rather blame music than take responsibility for their actions. Music and video games are an easy scapegoat

That’s his point lol
Yeah, I’m gonna trust scientists over Killer Mike on this one.
If music had no ability to sway the consciousness of people then why is it the most powerful tool used to teach?

See how joos are on code.
Fixed. Trust they don't see themselves as the CACs you see them as.
But they have to like that music first. You can't just put out a song and think it's going to influence people. People have to like the song(s), then they're influenced by it.Only low level thinkers think music doesn't have the ability to affect the thought patterns and even the actions of the masses whether positively or negatively.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Music can absolutely contribute. It's not the music directly telling people to kill people. It's social conditioning to what's an acceptable response to a situation. Social conditioning can come in many forms and change over time. What made someone a killer in the 1950s isn't always what would make someone a killer in the 2020s.
Nor is this saying everyone listening to the music is susceptible to it. Some people are more prone to that conditioning than others. I absolutely believe Drill music can make some people think shooting someone is an appropriate response to disrespect, disagreements or some other kind of trauma. It's usually spread amongst a cluster of other symptoms however.
It's a two way street. Artists should be free to make what they want, but should also consider the responsibility of their message too.
