Full transcript
- 0:00good evening everyone
- 0:03it's Thursday evening and today has been
- 0:07very eventful I am afraid that we are
- 0:11going to have to talk about the elephant
- 0:13in the room that is Kanye West Kanye
- 0:16West went on Alex Jones and said some
- 0:21really interesting things
- 0:23that I don't approve of that I will not
- 0:25condone and I don't care if you will
- 0:29call me less Free Speech because of that
- 0:31and I will explain why because I've
- 0:34gotten both comments there were a couple
- 0:35things that people said to me when I
- 0:37tweeted about this earlier today I had
- 0:39people who were calling me a Nazi for
- 0:41not seeing this coming which was
- 0:43intriguing and I also had people who
- 0:45called me a free speech
- 0:48non-absolutist or like a fair weather
- 0:50Free Speech person because I personally
- 0:52don't love the idea of people spouting
- 0:54off anti-semitic comments at any given
- 0:58time
- 0:58so we're going to talk about that a
- 1:00little bit it's really fascinating I am
- 1:03not really looking forward to it but
- 1:06we're gonna get into it and kind of see
- 1:08what see what Kanye said and see what
- 1:11the damage is and we'll go from there I
- 1:13have this video that has stuff in it
- 1:15that I don't really want so I want to
- 1:17pause it part way through this is from
- 1:18Greg price who's great we had him on Tim
- 1:21cast IRL a couple times he's fantastic
- 1:24he brings the news he pretty much broke
- 1:27this story I think pretty sure he was
- 1:28watching this Kanye on the um
- 1:32Infowars earlier today which was very
- 1:35exciting so let me let me use my new
- 1:37mouse
- 1:39hey here we go are we ready
- 1:57yeah so that's the gist of what he said
- 2:01he said well I see good things about
- 2:04our dear friend also every human being
- 2:08has value that they brought to the table
- 2:09especially him
- 2:12so this is actually a really interesting
- 2:14concept that I think that we should
- 2:16entertain because as you guys know I
- 2:18care deeply about the value of human
- 2:20life and I've had people ask me if they
- 2:23think that this means that I would
- 2:24include somebody like
- 2:27Hitler on that list if I think that his
- 2:29life had value too and I will tell you
- 2:31right now that I firmly believe that all
- 2:33human life is intrinsically valuable I
- 2:36don't think that's debatable if you see
- 2:38the world through a even slightly
- 2:40judeo-christian print Viewpoint you're
- 2:43going to believe that's the case for
- 2:44sure because there are Bible verses all
- 2:46about how God recognizes people before
- 2:48they're born before they're put together
- 2:50in utero all of this stuff it's a really
- 2:54interesting philosophical question to be
- 2:56asked about somebody like Hitler because
- 2:59obviously he did do so much damage you
- 3:01could literally ask the same question
- 3:03about someone like Mao and Stalin and
- 3:05all those other people because they all
- 3:07did similar amounts of similar kinds of
- 3:10damage obviously Stalin was way more and
- 3:13Mao was way way more like we don't even
- 3:15know how many died in China because of
- 3:17Mao
- 3:18um so you have to ask yourself is this
- 3:20person's life intrinsically worthwhile
- 3:22and I don't think you can say that it's
- 3:25not even given what we know about know
- 3:28about what they did looking back
- 3:31as we know hindsight is 2020
- 3:33and it's very easy to say something like
- 3:35well this person was not worthwhile this
- 3:37person's life wasn't worth anything
- 3:39because look what they did
- 3:41there are a couple different things that
- 3:42I have to say about that because you
- 3:44guys all know that I am super pro-life I
- 3:46don't like abortion at all and I will
- 3:48say right up front that part of the
- 3:50reason that I'm so gung-ho about being
- 3:51pro-life is because children before
- 3:53they're born are literally incapable of
- 3:55doing anything so a child is clearly
- 3:59obviously not on the same level as Mao
- 4:01or Stalin and we have no idea if they
- 4:04would be that is called the potential of
- 4:06human life you have to survive the womb
- 4:10first of all you have to get out and you
- 4:12have to do something with your life
- 4:14either positive or negative to make
- 4:16people question whether each human life
- 4:18is valuable and it's it's a challenging
- 4:22question as I said and I think it does
- 4:25deserve warrant it does warrant some
- 4:27thought because
- 4:29there is a school of thought and I am in
- 4:31the school of thought who firmly
- 4:33believes that each person has something
- 4:35interesting to add to the conversation
- 4:38um and I I really think that's true and
- 4:41I tweeted about this a while back it was
- 4:43a little bit vague but I was like I
- 4:44think that you should be able to look at
- 4:46every single thinker and come up with
- 4:49something that they said that is true or
- 4:52applicable in in some situation because
- 4:55every different person has a unique
- 4:58perspective that you would be better off
- 5:00considering instead of rejecting now I
- 5:04don't think that Kanye West should be
- 5:07canceled for saying this I think he has
- 5:09every right to say it but at the same
- 5:11time I'm not at home to anti-semitic
- 5:13conversations I don't like anti-Semitism
- 5:16I don't like anti-anything that someone
- 5:18can't change and we talked about this I
- 5:19think I mentioned this yesterday I don't
- 5:21like the idea of tacking someone for
- 5:23anything that they have no control over
- 5:25that means hair color that means height
- 5:27eye color you know physical attributes
- 5:30that you have no no power to change it's
- 5:33really unfair to attack someone for
- 5:34something they can't control and this
- 5:36includes the idea of racism and stuff
- 5:38like anti-Semitism because these are
- 5:40things that people have no control over
- 5:42and it's not fair to bring that into any
- 5:45kind of conversation you should only be
- 5:47addressing ID ideas now what Connie is
- 5:50saying is kind of interesting because he
- 5:51says that he had
- 5:53Kanye says every human being has value
- 5:56that they brought to the table and then
- 5:58he says especially
- 6:00Hitler which is an absolutely crazy
- 6:03person thing to say and I don't know if
- 6:04you guys caught that but he actually was
- 6:06wearing what looks like a black sock on
- 6:08his head
- 6:09which was really interesting and I kind
- 6:11of want to get into this outfit because
- 6:14his wife wore something similar at an
- 6:16award show and she was wearing
- 6:18Balenciaga which I don't know if you
- 6:20guys have been following the Balenciaga
- 6:21kerfuffle there's a lot of stuff going
- 6:24on on there that should probably be
- 6:25thoroughly unpacked by someone who knows
- 6:27much more about it than I do but I just
- 6:30found his attire particularly perplexing
- 6:33given that he just
- 6:36finalized his divorce with Kim so he's
- 6:38going to be paying 200 000 a month to
- 6:41his wife and his kids for child support
- 6:43so he's done with a divorce uh this man
- 6:46is clearly mentally unstable he's just
- 6:50finishing a divorce which is terrible I
- 6:53know that he didn't want to go through
- 6:54that divorce I know that he wanted his
- 6:58wife to remain faithful to him even
- 7:00though they were separated I know that
- 7:02he is really going through a really
- 7:05tough time and I don't think it's fair
- 7:07to exactly judge what he's saying
- 7:10because given from my understanding
- 7:13let's see here that's not what I want
- 7:15yeah okay so this was a really
- 7:17interesting tweet which I guess was a
- 7:19rip-off from another guy also in 2018
- 7:21saying highly recommend getting off the
- 7:24Kanye train before inevitably reaches
- 7:26the blank was a good guy stop that's a
- 7:29very interesting note the reason people
- 7:31are saying that he drew this conclusion
- 7:33was because Kanye West was hanging out
- 7:35with people like Louis Farrakhan and
- 7:38these other Darlings of the left wing
- 7:40who are also hugely anti-semitic Louis
- 7:44Farrakhan from my understanding is part
- 7:45of the oh crap I can't remember if he's
- 7:48part of the the nation of Israel or
- 7:50Black Hebrew Israelites or
- 7:53um oh sorry the Nation of Islam boy I'll
- 7:56never live that down I believe that
- 7:58Louis Farrakhan is a part of the Nation
- 8:00of Islam
- 8:02also known as Black Hebrew Israelites
- 8:04you guys are welcome to correct me if
- 8:05I'm incorrect all I know about uh Louis
- 8:07Farrakhan for the most part is that he's
- 8:09hugely anti-semitic and that Barack
- 8:11Obama also was very involved with him
- 8:14for sure but we also know that there's a
- 8:16lot of anti-Semitism on the west on the
- 8:18on the west also on the west I can't
- 8:21handle directions I called Lauren
- 8:23Southern Lauren Northern the other day
- 8:24and now I'm saying instead of on the
- 8:26left I'm saying on the west because
- 8:27we're talking about Kanye West I just
- 8:29can't can't do it I'm like a woman with
- 8:30directions what can I say we know
- 8:32there's a lot of anti-Semitism on the
- 8:34left we can see it with Rashida slabe
- 8:37and Ilan Omar and it's really nothing
- 8:39new for them somebody tweeted the other
- 8:42day saying why can't the right wing ever
- 8:43just call out anti-Semitism on their
- 8:46side and I was just like yo you guys are
- 8:48the ones with the serious anti-semite
- 8:51problem our good friend Louis Farrakhan
- 8:53referred to the Jewish people as a kind
- 8:56of insect which is a very incredibly
- 8:58unkind and bigoted thing to say about
- 9:01them but he was never held accountable
- 9:02for that and those on the left still
- 9:04Revere him which is insane to me but I
- 9:08wanted to point out this tweet that I
- 9:10made as well
- 9:11look at that if you can care about Free
- 9:13Speech without being an anti-semite or
- 9:16condoning anti-Semitism wild because
- 9:19these were the responses I was getting
- 9:20either you're a Nazi or you're not
- 9:23sufficiently pro free speech I think
- 9:25it's fine that Connie should say exactly
- 9:27what he thinks but at the same time I
- 9:30know the left likes to say this but it
- 9:31is true that there are consequences for
- 9:33what you say that doesn't mean you
- 9:35shouldn't be allowed to say it it does
- 9:36mean that you're going to have to deal
- 9:38with the Fallout of what you said and I
- 9:41think that's what's going to happen with
- 9:42Kanye Edward Snowden was tweeting
- 9:44earlier that it doesn't look like
- 9:46there's going to be a present Kanye
- 9:47after all I think he's 100 right about
- 9:50that I genuinely feel truly bad for
- 9:53Kanye West I think that he's a deeply
- 9:55troubled person
- 9:56and I know that his life has been really
- 9:58tumultuous lately I know you guys all
- 10:00probably saw him storm out of the Tim
- 10:02Cass Castle the other day
- 10:04he just is
- 10:06I think he's in Bad Company for one
- 10:08thing
- 10:09um and I think he's being influenced by
- 10:11people who are trying to use him for
- 10:13their own ends and using him as a way to
- 10:15exact revenge on Donald Trump on the
- 10:19right on Christian religious people I'm
- 10:22not sure exactly what the plan is here
- 10:24but it does seem to me like Kanye is
- 10:27being used as a pawn and he's looking
- 10:29for support in very much all the wrong
- 10:31places if I could say one thing to Kanye
- 10:34it would be that you are cared for that
- 10:37your family loves you your kids love you
- 10:39and they need you to stay strong and be
- 10:41around for them and that means
- 10:44not saying crazy Off the Wall things
- 10:46that make them uncomfortable to be
- 10:48associated with you because I can just
- 10:49imagine how his kids feel about this or
- 10:52will feel about this when they're older
- 10:53like that's kind of a heavy burden to
- 10:55bear and I don't think that's fair to do
- 10:57to any kid I think that you have a
- 10:59responsibility as a parent to kind of
- 11:01stop and think about what you're saying
- 11:03even if even if it is a very firmly held
- 11:06belief
- 11:08you can hold a very controversial belief
- 11:11very firmly if you can express it in a
- 11:14way
- 11:15that completely completely encapsulates
- 11:19what you believe
- 11:20I personally
- 11:22I'm not sure I will say right off hand
- 11:25that it doesn't seem to me like Kanye
- 11:27has any special hate for any one group
- 11:30of people
- 11:31I don't think that's the case I think
- 11:33he's been listening to the wrong people
- 11:35I think he's been mixing with the wrong
- 11:37people and I think he's more easily
- 11:40persuadable maybe more easily influenced
- 11:44than some people and I know his life is
- 11:46in a really tough place right now
- 11:48um that's just my two cents right off
- 11:51the cuff I know this just happened today
- 11:52I felt like I had to say something
- 11:54because I've kind of been going back and
- 11:55forth with people on both sides of the
- 11:57aisle about it
- 11:59being called a Nazi and then also being
- 12:01called not sufficiently pro-free speech
- 12:02we'll do that to you but I don't think
- 12:05that there is
- 12:09I don't see that there's a disagreement
- 12:11between being pro-free speech and
- 12:14anti-anti-semitism
- 12:17um I don't think that's really too
- 12:18complicated either I don't think that's
- 12:20asking too much I think that every sane
- 12:22normal person is
- 12:23probably both largely free speech and
- 12:26also anti-anti-semitic and I don't think
- 12:29that's crazy to say either but I think
- 12:32that people get on Twitter and then they
- 12:34become really myopic everyone's a Nazi
- 12:37or everyone is not good enough at
- 12:39promoting free speech
- 12:41we can be moderate even on social media
- 12:44and I would really recommend this
- 12:45especially in the light of Connie this
- 12:47freaking Kanye thing because we more
- 12:51than anything we need to recognize
- 12:53what's going on with him as we do have a
- 12:56burgeoning mental health crisis in this
- 12:58country we need to recognize the
- 13:00symptoms we need to understand when it's
- 13:03time to maybe put someone in a
- 13:05conservatorship I'm not saying that
- 13:06needs to happen with Kanye I am saying
- 13:08that he needs Connie is a prime example
- 13:11of someone who needs the support of the
- 13:13community to make good decisions he
- 13:16needs that positive cultural enforcement
- 13:18those people around him who tell him hey
- 13:20that's not a good idea maybe you
- 13:23shouldn't do that maybe instead of this
- 13:25you should do this offer him some
- 13:27Alternatives give him a different
- 13:29approach kind of encourage him to be a
- 13:32little more introspective about what he
- 13:34says maybe put a pause on going on shows
- 13:37since apparently that's super stressful
- 13:39for him like Alex Jones was literally
- 13:42giving him an out he was literally
- 13:44saying but you're not what people say
- 13:46you are you're not what people are going
- 13:48to accuse you of being right and Kanye
- 13:52was like well actually maybe I am and I
- 13:55really feel like he could have used it's
- 13:57possible that maybe he just shouldn't do
- 13:59these live shows if they're so stressful
- 14:01and hard for him he's going to say these
- 14:03off-the-wall things I think that if he
- 14:06had
- 14:07a company of people around him willing
- 14:09to tell him no and willing to tell him
- 14:11hey you should maybe give it a rest for
- 14:13a little while you need to take a little
- 14:15break go on a vacation focus on
- 14:17something else
- 14:18this is what happens I would I dare say
- 14:20that Kanye West is what happens when you
- 14:23don't have Community Support to hold you
- 14:25accountable because Jordan Peterson
- 14:27talks about how we go crazy if we don't
- 14:29have other people to bounce our ideas
- 14:31off of and to me it just seems like
- 14:33Kanye West doesn't have good friends to
- 14:36tell him what is a good idea and what's
- 14:37not
- 14:38and that's truly truly sad because he's
- 14:40at the top of the hierarchy he's one of
- 14:43the richest guys okay he's been
- 14:45incredibly successful in music he's been
- 14:47incredibly successful in business he's
- 14:49done all sorts of amazing things but
- 14:51still he lacks this basic thing that the
- 14:54ordinary average peasant used to have
- 14:56200 years ago like he doesn't have a
- 15:00church family he doesn't have his family
- 15:02in his side he doesn't have like a
- 15:05supportive wife to tell him what to do I
- 15:08honestly I could place a lot of blame on
- 15:10his ex-wife too because
- 15:13when you marry someone you know what
- 15:15you're getting into with someone like
- 15:17Kanye you have to understand that you're
- 15:19going it's going to be hard okay with
- 15:22someone super smart and super eccentric
- 15:24like Kanye always has been you have to
- 15:27recognize that your job is going to be
- 15:30saying no a lot of the time and it's
- 15:32going to be kind of pushing back and
- 15:34bouncing ideas and being like hey you
- 15:36know I really care about you I don't
- 15:38want you to do this will you please just
- 15:40sleep on this or whatever wait to make
- 15:42this decision just put it off for a
- 15:43little while we'll come back to it later
- 15:45you don't have to do this show we can
- 15:47find you another one
- 15:49but without the support of his wife with
- 15:51without his family around him without
- 15:53his mom for example he talks about his
- 15:55mom a lot ever since she died and
- 15:58without a really solid structure to his
- 16:01life he's suffering and it's clear to
- 16:04see why and I I my heart goes out to him
- 16:07for sure I don't want him to be
- 16:08anti-semitic I don't want him to be
- 16:10saying all this stuff about Hitler I
- 16:12think that's terrible
- 16:14but at the same time to me it just comes
- 16:16across as much more of a cry for help
- 16:18than anything else so I really hope that
- 16:21he finds the help he needs and that's
- 16:22not just medical that's not just
- 16:24medicine to make him feel better this
- 16:26would be stuff like a solid church that
- 16:29is not led by Louis Farrakhan or anybody
- 16:31of that nature
- 16:33um uh consistent family contact and I'm
- 16:36hoping that he's on good terms with his
- 16:38ex-wife and stays on good terms with his
- 16:40kids because I know that he really cares
- 16:42about them these are things that make a
- 16:44big difference to him that have been
- 16:46lately just taken away from him and I
- 16:48honestly don't blame him for having a
- 16:50kind of mental break now if he is full
- 16:53on anti-semitic also that's fine you can
- 16:55the fact of the matter is at the end of
- 16:57the day you can still be rude you can
- 16:59still be mean online and in person that
- 17:02is called freedom of speech but people
- 17:04are going to know that about you and
- 17:06then people are going to judge you for
- 17:07it that's just one of the things that
- 17:09happens when we say things when words
- 17:11when noises come out of our mouth people
- 17:13will look at us and judge us based on
- 17:15that no matter how well thought out
- 17:17those words are or how poorly thought
- 17:19out those words are so hopefully that's
- 17:21something that he figures out I hope he
- 17:23figures out his community situation I
- 17:26hope he gets his family life back
- 17:27together and I hope he's able to calm
- 17:30down maybe Retreat from the public eye
- 17:32for this I think he needs to get out of
- 17:34the influence of bad people and into the
- 17:36influence of good people hopefully at
- 17:38church and all that good stuff but
- 17:39that's all I had to say about Kanye
- 17:41today I just I feel bad at the end of
- 17:43the day I really do he does seem sad he
- 17:45seems kind of lost and I hope he's able
- 17:48to find his way and I hope he can have
- 17:50that solid family support that everyone
- 17:52deserves so until tomorrow
