In the latest episode of Bill Maher's podcast, he converses with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, discussing controversial topics such as Hinchcliffe's offensive joke about Puerto Rico and Maher's meeting with Donald Trump. The dialogue emphasizes the insensitivity of comparing Trump to Hitler, with Hinchcliffe arguing such statements insult the Jewish community. They highlight the absurdity of using the Hitler card in modern political discourse, asserting that doing so undermines genuine historical atrocities and trivializes the suffering caused by real figures of evil, like Hitler himself.
Larry David said, I'm a Nazi,' Maher told Hinchcliffe at one point. He did? Hinchcliffe asked, surprised. Well, he said, I had dinner with Hitler,' Maher clarified, referring to David's satirical New York Times op-ed ripping Maher for meeting Trump and offering some kind words for the president.
Hinchcliffe stirred controversy ahead of election day when he made a joke that called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage while appearing at a Trump rally. That's exactly what I said when I did an interview about it.
First of all, as soon as you play the Hitler card, you've kind of lost the argument unless you're really dealing with Hitler, which yes, we're not. But agreed.
Maher concluded, 'Hitler, I keep calling him the GOAT of evil. He's the GOAT... it's just like stop it.'
