 So for those of you who missed it Kanye West tweeted that he's going quote death con three on Jewish people And to follow up we have an additional story. That's even even worse So this is from Forbes Kanye's troubles deep in X TMZ staffer says star praised Hitler on podcast kills interview So a new allegations about Kanye West's history of anti-semitic remarks surfaced amid a cascade of recent statements from the rapper About Jews with the former TMZ staffer claiming that a West said he loved Hitler and Nazis back in 2018 on a visit to the news Companies studio now. That's all that will go into this article here But I just want to point out that Charlemagne the god on I think was Monday. He said, you know at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Kanye praised Hitler or something like that and here just days later Charlemagne is proven correct and so you haven't talked about this on your show. What are your thoughts on this? because I think he is Office rocker Yeah, I feel I mean I feel almost uncomfortable talking about it because I don't mean like with you I just mean in general because He just seems unwell, right? So, you know, it's almost like the political analysis. I mean what he's saying is obviously Awful, yeah, but the question is kind of like where I Don't know it's a good question like how are we supposed to respond to this stuff And you know, there's where where it is like mental health start and personal responsibility Start or politics start and the other thing stop. It's like kind of uncomfortable. I'm not sure where where it is I mean, I think we can definitely condemn the ideas and the thoughts that are obviously anti-Semitic But he also just seems very unwell. Yeah, and it's I think that's a really important point He's despite the fact that he is demonstrably unwell It's it's so It's so wrong the way that Conservatives are taking him and exploiting him individuals like Tucker Carlson, you know Bring him on their platforms and letting him air his ridiculous views. My view on this is kind of That I don't believe that he gets to use his bipolar as an excuse for Terrible and anti-Semitic things because there are so many people like I have a member of my family who has bipolar and I know people who are bipolar and None of them say horrible things like this. So one thing that I've kind of let myself or I've given myself permission to do is criticize him because Even if he is visibly bipolar and he's maybe the most known bipolar person There are so many working-class bipolar people who aren't celebrities who if they said something like this They would never get a pass. So I've kind of like broken down that barrier I sound like Hillary Clinton in my mind just so I can allow myself to criticize him because I kind of and part of it was I was a huge fan of Kanye West. I had like all of his physical CDs Giant sim for Kanye West and so once I moved on like away from being a fan Then it was this whole notion of well Am I a bad person for criticism criticizing him because he very clearly is mentally ill but at the same time That's almost um able us to infantilize him in that way. Yeah, this is still an adult, right? So it's just it's so You need somebody in the family to intervene I feel right But he's uncontrollable like we've seen the way that he docks his own children effectively Right Kim Kardashian had to get security at the school And he did this because he presumably wanted his kids to go to Donda University or something It's just so deranged and now the fact that he's saying right-wing things the right is using that as hey We have a culture, you know a cultural icon on our side. It's so gross. It's really gross I mean, I think it's interesting what you said about how they're working-class people who would be immediately canceled for this But you know, I feel like sometimes the left can be a little like race to the bottomism on this stuff like for instance What when a rich person gets off for a crime like I don't really believe in Prison as a concept and I certainly don't believe in it for like nonviolent crimes Let's say. Yeah, and when sometimes I rich people I understand the left will cheer and want a rich person to go to jail over like drugs or something And my thing is like we should be working to free the people in jail more than to put rich people in jail So I guess the parallel I'm saying there is like I also wish we had more I think that when people are mentally ill and saying really problematic things That I think we can condemn what they're saying But hopefully like I do think the goal should be helping the person I mean not to the extent that you let them hurt other people. Obviously their lines there Yeah, you know one thing that I've been wondering is like, how do you rehabilitate someone like that because If this were just a family member, um, you know, we would all talk to that person and say what you're saying is terrible What you're saying is hurtful. Here's why you're wrong. But with someone. Um, who is that powerful? You know, he's he's not just wealthy, but he's kind of surrounded himself with yes men who Puff up his ego and whatnot. So he's almost untouchable to where any thought that he has That he espouses immediately is immediately validated. So the answer is like, how do you even get through to that person? Assuming there's somebody that wants to get through to them And then the second question is like, how do you get them to stop Saying all of these terrible things because it's influencing people the the thing that really worried me With his tweet to go back to the death con three tweet is the number of people who like that tweet You know, they just they agree with everything that he says. I think it was like 30,000. That's really scary. Yeah Yeah, they just agree with what he says automatically not necessarily taking into account You know Deep issues that he has and whatnot. And so that's what really worries me because like you have these people who are they're They're too far gone But yet they still have so much influence and I just don't know and this is kind of an open question like How do we Get through to those people and more importantly, how do we get through to the people that take everything that those types say at their word? Because there's so many I mean trump supporters is the biggest example, but for you know a non political example like Kanye was I I don't know what to do and I wonder aloud sometimes Yeah, no, I don't know what the answer is either. It's like and then there are different issues one is like, okay how do you Like you take the person's microphone away. That's one issue. But then there's just the moral issue of like do you can you forgive? I I feel like he seems so gone that like I don't even like I I could imagine him getting on meds and doing therapy and Being like I wasn't myself not as a pr move. I'm saying I could imagine that thing happening And then that's the question of like the culpability. How responsible is that person? But I do think it's different when you're totally in your right mind and not doing it And then there are people who would say like well, you know in vino veritas, right? Like but this is different when you're you know in wine truth and like People when they're we will say things when they're drunk and that's they're like uninhibited self That's different. I think from being like I think suffering from a What can be like a And I know lots of bipolar people So I'm not like I'm not generalizing but I know there's a spectrum and it can be a very debilitating illness And so I think that that yeah, it is complicated. I honestly don't know. I don't have like an overall Take on this except to admit that it's complicated Yeah, and I think that's 100 fair because what do you do with someone who's very clearly not in the right state of mind Um, but just is doing demonstrable harm. Um, you know targeting an entire community And you know, you think about how hate crimes and anti-semitism has increased over the years And then he with all this influence makes this statement And I think that the fact that assuming he misspoke and said death con instead of death con made it like 10 times worse You know it just oh god like it's just it's so bad And yeah one positive thing that I will say Um to give the right credit which I don't like to do but I'm not a hack So I do it is that there were right wingers who were like, okay No, like yeah, we get that what you're on our side like I'm paraphrasing we get that you're on our side But this is not okay. Ben Shapiro. I gotta give them credit condemn this, you know, um Some fox news hosts once they saw what he said they were like Okay, can't really defend that uh, but Candace Owens like she's the one who proved that she's the true hack because she's like Oh, well, what he said doesn't make sense, but to think that it's anti-semitic. You're not being a serious person. It's like Oh That's that's how you know who the hacks are right because if I said something like that When like you make Ben Shapiro look like a remotely honest person. That's quite the feet Candace Owens. Yeah Yeah, and as much as the left like fights I think that we're pretty honest to where if one of us fucked up that bad We would just be like, okay. I support this person. Maybe their intentions are are altruistic But that was not a good take. I just feel like that's that's such a level of partisan hackery. That's almost um It's it's so bad that I don't even know how to describe it like she's never been taken seriously again Candace Owens, of course, she famously said that Hitler's only mistake was going global Oh, that's it local, right when it was farmed to table not to them. That was fine It's when he he branched out and globalized it. Yeah, I forgot about that. Oh god. That's so that's so bad Okay, that explains actually why she uh, she made that comment You
