00:00So, it turns out Kanye West hates Jews.
00:04We were right all along, it turns out.
00:06I mean, yeah, I guess maybe there were some people who thought he didn't because it's
00:11been a couple of years since he went really hard on the anti-Semitism, but he's back with
00:17a vengeance and maybe saying even more direct anti-Semitic things than he had before.
00:23This is clear now.
00:24He is a hardcore anti-Semite who celebrates the extermination of Jews.
00:33Yes.
00:34The way it is.
00:35So, the rant actually started with a statement that, on its own, might have been controversial
00:41and would have gotten him all the attention and headlines he wanted, which was saying
00:46that he wants Diddy out of jail.
00:48He had a couple of other things said, but basically this was the essence of it.
00:53Free Puff.
00:54Okay.
00:55And that was an, it's an interesting take.
00:58He apparently has a relation, he's had a relationship with him.
01:02And so, Diddy hasn't gotten a lot of that, so he responded to it.
01:08Yeah.
01:09On his Instagram account, I'm not sure exactly how-
01:12I was wondering that myself.
01:13He has access.
01:14I was wondering that myself.
01:15Maybe he told someone to do it, but anyway, he said, thank you to my brother, yay.
01:18Yeezy.com.
01:19So, yeah, he's celebrating it.
01:22To be fair to Diddy, which I know is something you don't hear a lot these days.
01:25Diddy didn't know what was coming.
01:26He did not know the firestorm that was about to come because Ye was just getting warmed
01:31up and this is where it gets really just insane.
01:36This is what he started to say about, this has always been, he's always framed this as
01:42he doesn't like the business deals that he's made with Jewish people.
01:46This is a trope, by the way.
01:47Yes.
01:48Ain't nobody ramped up either.
01:49I'm calm as ice.
01:51This is how I really feel.
01:52This is how I really felt.
01:53Can I stop you for a second?
01:55He is now telling everybody, you may not have believed me before, you've got to believe
02:00me now.
02:01By the way, the reason he's saying ain't nobody ramped up is because this is after several
02:06hours of tweeting.
02:07Right?
02:08So he says, ain't nobody ramped up either.
02:09I'm calm as ice.
02:10This is how I really feel, how I really felt and how I will always feel.
02:15Blank all your blank, blank, unfair business deals.
02:19Any Jewish person that does business with me needs to know I don't like or trust any
02:24Jewish person and this is completely sober with no Henny.
02:28I'm a Nazi.
02:29Oh, there's more.
02:30And one more.
02:31Hitler was so fresh.
02:34So look, you know, I'm not going to get upset.
02:39I'm Jewish.
02:40I'm not going to get upset with this because I think that's what he wants.
02:44I think what you got to do at this point, whether it's performative, and it could be,
02:49or whether it's real, or I think it is, or it's mental illness, or it's a combination
02:54of all those things, and it probably is, he's an anti-Semite.
03:00And I hear what you're saying, that you don't want to express too much outrage because one,
03:06you may be just used to it, two, you don't want to give him what he probably wants.
03:11But there is a part of this that is still dangerous.
03:13And I understand you're saying you don't want to have all this outrage, but there are
03:18people out there who are going to listen to it.
03:21Their reaction to it is going to be, yeah, to hell with Jewish people.
03:25Oh, I think you're right.
03:26I actually think it's pretty helpful because the rant that went on in 2022 was several
03:31years ago.
03:32And frankly, time heals all wounds.
03:35People forget.
03:36They soften it.
03:37The passage of time sort of makes him a different figure.
03:38Right.
03:39He's got his antics going out with his wife, and she's naked at the Grammys, and people
03:44can have lighthearted feelings toward him about that stuff, right?
03:49That's right.
03:50And this is a good reminder of this is who he is.
03:52This is his sort of thesis statement and his true feelings.
03:55He says he's not inebriated in any way.
03:58This is how he feels.
03:59He doesn't trust Jewish people.
04:00He doesn't like them.
04:01While he's not inebriated, he still has mental illness.
04:05I think you're right.
04:06It's all three of them.
04:07It's mental illness, performative, and real.
04:10But here's the difference, Derek, between two years ago or three years ago and today.
04:15We're in a different world today, and the hatred you express can be a plus for you in
04:23certain corners of this country.
04:26And I feel like this kind of hatred in some ways has been normalized.
04:30So I'm not sure if I would be shocked three years ago had he said this.
04:36But the weird thing is, I'm not at all shocked, and I'm not feeling that outrage like it's
04:43a thunderbolt from the sky anymore, because I don't think that's where our country is
04:47right now.
04:48I think our country has normalized a lot of this stuff.
04:51I sadly think you're right.
04:52This is the type of rhetoric that used to marginalize you, make you a fringe character,
04:57make you a sort of white supremacist and things like that, KKK people who aren't part of the
05:02normal conversation in this country.
05:03Kanye West very much is.
05:05He's in the conversation, and you're right, where the country has moved, it has been normalized.
05:09It's almost like he's accomplished his ends.
05:10I mean, look at this.
05:12You've got Proud Boys who are looking for the addresses and names of FBI agents who
05:20did their job after they assaulted cops.
05:23And they're saying, we are going to get you guys.
05:27That's where it's been.
05:28I mean, we've gone that far.
05:30That's crazy.
05:32That's just crazy.
05:33So the saddest part of this is that we actually aren't shocked by it.
05:39No, you're right.
05:40We're not shocked by it.
05:41Really?
05:42And that's where we are.
05:43Hey, guys.
05:44Yes, he smiles here from Miami.
05:45And can someone please take Kanye's phone away from him?
05:48Because it's like you guys were saying, I think we're shocked, but we're really not
05:52shocked.
05:53And someone as big as him with the proof that Diddy has committed these crimes, it's like
05:58crazy to me.
05:59It's mind blowing.
06:01And it kind of makes you think where his mental health really is.
06:04Yeah, but you know, you can't just always pass things off to mental health.
06:09That people with mental issues, and many people have them, can still embrace hatred.
06:14So I think you're right.
06:15Yeah, he could be.
06:16He absolutely could truly believe these things.
06:19You just, I don't know.
06:22It's all mixed in.
