You think Klein would be embarrassed to say what he really wants to say. I don't think anyone else thinks he would. You're seeing some sort of conspiracy where none is necessary.
Harris (and anyone else) should not let Murray speak to his audience as though he isn't full of shit. If you're going to give him a platform, you should be calling him on his shit. If you're not going to call him on his shit, you shouldn't give him your platform.
None of that is motivated by "political correctness" (although that's a perfectly legit motivation too). It's motivated by thinking it's inappropriate to mislead people and realizing that if you do give his ideas a platform without context, you're implicitly endorsing them.

The Harris podcast to which Klein objected was called “forbidden knowledge.”

Even you do not think there's any knowledge to be gained from Murray.
