  1. 0:00good evening everyone
  2. 0:03it's Thursday evening and today has been
  3. 0:07very eventful I am afraid that we are
  4. 0:11going to have to talk about the elephant
  5. 0:13in the room that is Kanye West Kanye
  6. 0:16West went on Alex Jones and said some
  7. 0:21really interesting things
  8. 0:23that I don't approve of that I will not
  9. 0:25condone and I don't care if you will
  10. 0:29call me less Free Speech because of that
  11. 0:31and I will explain why because I've
  12. 0:34gotten both comments there were a couple
  13. 0:35things that people said to me when I
  14. 0:37tweeted about this earlier today I had
  15. 0:39people who were calling me a Nazi for
  16. 0:41not seeing this coming which was
  17. 0:43intriguing and I also had people who
  18. 0:45called me a free speech
  19. 0:48non-absolutist or like a fair weather
  20. 0:50Free Speech person because I personally
  21. 0:52don't love the idea of people spouting
  22. 0:54off anti-semitic comments at any given
  23. 0:58time
  24. 0:58so we're going to talk about that a
  25. 1:00little bit it's really fascinating I am
  26. 1:03not really looking forward to it but
  27. 1:06we're gonna get into it and kind of see
  28. 1:08what see what Kanye said and see what
  29. 1:11the damage is and we'll go from there I
  30. 1:13have this video that has stuff in it
  31. 1:15that I don't really want so I want to
  32. 1:17pause it part way through this is from
  33. 1:18Greg price who's great we had him on Tim
  34. 1:21cast IRL a couple times he's fantastic
  35. 1:24he brings the news he pretty much broke
  36. 1:27this story I think pretty sure he was
  37. 1:28watching this Kanye on the um
  38. 1:32Infowars earlier today which was very
  39. 1:35exciting so let me let me use my new
  40. 1:37mouse
  41. 1:39hey here we go are we ready
  42. 1:57yeah so that's the gist of what he said
  43. 2:01he said well I see good things about
  44. 2:04our dear friend also every human being
  45. 2:08has value that they brought to the table
  46. 2:09especially him
  47. 2:12so this is actually a really interesting
  48. 2:14concept that I think that we should
  49. 2:16entertain because as you guys know I
  50. 2:18care deeply about the value of human
  51. 2:20life and I've had people ask me if they
  52. 2:23think that this means that I would
  53. 2:24include somebody like
  54. 2:27Hitler on that list if I think that his
  55. 2:29life had value too and I will tell you
  56. 2:31right now that I firmly believe that all
  57. 2:33human life is intrinsically valuable I
  58. 2:36don't think that's debatable if you see
  59. 2:38the world through a even slightly
  60. 2:40judeo-christian print Viewpoint you're
  61. 2:43going to believe that's the case for
  62. 2:44sure because there are Bible verses all
  63. 2:46about how God recognizes people before
  64. 2:48they're born before they're put together
  65. 2:50in utero all of this stuff it's a really
  66. 2:54interesting philosophical question to be
  67. 2:56asked about somebody like Hitler because
  68. 2:59obviously he did do so much damage you
  69. 3:01could literally ask the same question
  70. 3:03about someone like Mao and Stalin and
  71. 3:05all those other people because they all
  72. 3:07did similar amounts of similar kinds of
  73. 3:10damage obviously Stalin was way more and
  74. 3:13Mao was way way more like we don't even
  75. 3:15know how many died in China because of
  76. 3:17Mao
  77. 3:18um so you have to ask yourself is this
  78. 3:20person's life intrinsically worthwhile
  79. 3:22and I don't think you can say that it's
  80. 3:25not even given what we know about know
  81. 3:28about what they did looking back
  82. 3:31as we know hindsight is 2020
  83. 3:33and it's very easy to say something like
  84. 3:35well this person was not worthwhile this
  85. 3:37person's life wasn't worth anything
  86. 3:39because look what they did
  87. 3:41there are a couple different things that
  88. 3:42I have to say about that because you
  89. 3:44guys all know that I am super pro-life I
  90. 3:46don't like abortion at all and I will
  91. 3:48say right up front that part of the
  92. 3:50reason that I'm so gung-ho about being
  93. 3:51pro-life is because children before
  94. 3:53they're born are literally incapable of
  95. 3:55doing anything so a child is clearly
  96. 3:59obviously not on the same level as Mao
  97. 4:01or Stalin and we have no idea if they
  98. 4:04would be that is called the potential of
  99. 4:06human life you have to survive the womb
  100. 4:10first of all you have to get out and you
  101. 4:12have to do something with your life
  102. 4:14either positive or negative to make
  103. 4:16people question whether each human life
  104. 4:18is valuable and it's it's a challenging
  105. 4:22question as I said and I think it does
  106. 4:25deserve warrant it does warrant some
  107. 4:27thought because
  108. 4:29there is a school of thought and I am in
  109. 4:31the school of thought who firmly
  110. 4:33believes that each person has something
  111. 4:35interesting to add to the conversation
  112. 4:38um and I I really think that's true and
  113. 4:41I tweeted about this a while back it was
  114. 4:43a little bit vague but I was like I
  115. 4:44think that you should be able to look at
  116. 4:46every single thinker and come up with
  117. 4:49something that they said that is true or
  118. 4:52applicable in in some situation because
  119. 4:55every different person has a unique
  120. 4:58perspective that you would be better off
  121. 5:00considering instead of rejecting now I
  122. 5:04don't think that Kanye West should be
  123. 5:07canceled for saying this I think he has
  124. 5:09every right to say it but at the same
  125. 5:11time I'm not at home to anti-semitic
  126. 5:13conversations I don't like anti-Semitism
  127. 5:16I don't like anti-anything that someone
  128. 5:18can't change and we talked about this I
  129. 5:19think I mentioned this yesterday I don't
  130. 5:21like the idea of tacking someone for
  131. 5:23anything that they have no control over
  132. 5:25that means hair color that means height
  133. 5:27eye color you know physical attributes
  134. 5:30that you have no no power to change it's
  135. 5:33really unfair to attack someone for
  136. 5:34something they can't control and this
  137. 5:36includes the idea of racism and stuff
  138. 5:38like anti-Semitism because these are
  139. 5:40things that people have no control over
  140. 5:42and it's not fair to bring that into any
  141. 5:45kind of conversation you should only be
  142. 5:47addressing ID ideas now what Connie is
  143. 5:50saying is kind of interesting because he
  144. 5:51says that he had
  145. 5:53Kanye says every human being has value
  146. 5:56that they brought to the table and then
  147. 5:58he says especially
  148. 6:00Hitler which is an absolutely crazy
  149. 6:03person thing to say and I don't know if
  150. 6:04you guys caught that but he actually was
  151. 6:06wearing what looks like a black sock on
  152. 6:08his head
  153. 6:09which was really interesting and I kind
  154. 6:11of want to get into this outfit because
  155. 6:14his wife wore something similar at an
  156. 6:16award show and she was wearing
  157. 6:18Balenciaga which I don't know if you
  158. 6:20guys have been following the Balenciaga
  159. 6:21kerfuffle there's a lot of stuff going
  160. 6:24on on there that should probably be
  161. 6:25thoroughly unpacked by someone who knows
  162. 6:27much more about it than I do but I just
  163. 6:30found his attire particularly perplexing
  164. 6:33given that he just
  165. 6:36finalized his divorce with Kim so he's
  166. 6:38going to be paying 200 000 a month to
  167. 6:41his wife and his kids for child support
  168. 6:43so he's done with a divorce uh this man
  169. 6:46is clearly mentally unstable he's just
  170. 6:50finishing a divorce which is terrible I
  171. 6:53know that he didn't want to go through
  172. 6:54that divorce I know that he wanted his
  173. 6:58wife to remain faithful to him even
  174. 7:00though they were separated I know that
  175. 7:02he is really going through a really
  176. 7:05tough time and I don't think it's fair
  177. 7:07to exactly judge what he's saying
  178. 7:10because given from my understanding
  179. 7:13let's see here that's not what I want
  180. 7:15yeah okay so this was a really
  181. 7:17interesting tweet which I guess was a
  182. 7:19rip-off from another guy also in 2018
  183. 7:21saying highly recommend getting off the
  184. 7:24Kanye train before inevitably reaches
  185. 7:26the blank was a good guy stop that's a
  186. 7:29very interesting note the reason people
  187. 7:31are saying that he drew this conclusion
  188. 7:33was because Kanye West was hanging out
  189. 7:35with people like Louis Farrakhan and
  190. 7:38these other Darlings of the left wing
  191. 7:40who are also hugely anti-semitic Louis
  192. 7:44Farrakhan from my understanding is part
  193. 7:45of the oh crap I can't remember if he's
  194. 7:48part of the the nation of Israel or
  195. 7:50Black Hebrew Israelites or
  196. 7:53um oh sorry the Nation of Islam boy I'll
  197. 7:56never live that down I believe that
  198. 7:58Louis Farrakhan is a part of the Nation
  199. 8:00of Islam
  200. 8:02also known as Black Hebrew Israelites
  201. 8:04you guys are welcome to correct me if
  202. 8:05I'm incorrect all I know about uh Louis
  203. 8:07Farrakhan for the most part is that he's
  204. 8:09hugely anti-semitic and that Barack
  205. 8:11Obama also was very involved with him
  206. 8:14for sure but we also know that there's a
  207. 8:16lot of anti-Semitism on the west on the
  208. 8:18on the west also on the west I can't
  209. 8:21handle directions I called Lauren
  210. 8:23Southern Lauren Northern the other day
  211. 8:24and now I'm saying instead of on the
  212. 8:26left I'm saying on the west because
  213. 8:27we're talking about Kanye West I just
  214. 8:29can't can't do it I'm like a woman with
  215. 8:30directions what can I say we know
  216. 8:32there's a lot of anti-Semitism on the
  217. 8:34left we can see it with Rashida slabe
  218. 8:37and Ilan Omar and it's really nothing
  219. 8:39new for them somebody tweeted the other
  220. 8:42day saying why can't the right wing ever
  221. 8:43just call out anti-Semitism on their
  222. 8:46side and I was just like yo you guys are
  223. 8:48the ones with the serious anti-semite
  224. 8:51problem our good friend Louis Farrakhan
  225. 8:53referred to the Jewish people as a kind
  226. 8:56of insect which is a very incredibly
  227. 8:58unkind and bigoted thing to say about
  228. 9:01them but he was never held accountable
  229. 9:02for that and those on the left still
  230. 9:04Revere him which is insane to me but I
  231. 9:08wanted to point out this tweet that I
  232. 9:10made as well
  233. 9:11look at that if you can care about Free
  234. 9:13Speech without being an anti-semite or
  235. 9:16condoning anti-Semitism wild because
  236. 9:19these were the responses I was getting
  237. 9:20either you're a Nazi or you're not
  238. 9:23sufficiently pro free speech I think
  239. 9:25it's fine that Connie should say exactly
  240. 9:27what he thinks but at the same time I
  241. 9:30know the left likes to say this but it
  242. 9:31is true that there are consequences for
  243. 9:33what you say that doesn't mean you
  244. 9:35shouldn't be allowed to say it it does
  245. 9:36mean that you're going to have to deal
  246. 9:38with the Fallout of what you said and I
  247. 9:41think that's what's going to happen with
  248. 9:42Kanye Edward Snowden was tweeting
  249. 9:44earlier that it doesn't look like
  250. 9:46there's going to be a present Kanye
  251. 9:47after all I think he's 100 right about
  252. 9:50that I genuinely feel truly bad for
  253. 9:53Kanye West I think that he's a deeply
  254. 9:55troubled person
  255. 9:56and I know that his life has been really
  256. 9:58tumultuous lately I know you guys all
  257. 10:00probably saw him storm out of the Tim
  258. 10:02Cass Castle the other day
  259. 10:04he just is
  260. 10:06I think he's in Bad Company for one
  261. 10:08thing
  262. 10:09um and I think he's being influenced by
  263. 10:11people who are trying to use him for
  264. 10:13their own ends and using him as a way to
  265. 10:15exact revenge on Donald Trump on the
  266. 10:19right on Christian religious people I'm
  267. 10:22not sure exactly what the plan is here
  268. 10:24but it does seem to me like Kanye is
  269. 10:27being used as a pawn and he's looking
  270. 10:29for support in very much all the wrong
  271. 10:31places if I could say one thing to Kanye
  272. 10:34it would be that you are cared for that
  273. 10:37your family loves you your kids love you
  274. 10:39and they need you to stay strong and be
  275. 10:41around for them and that means
  276. 10:44not saying crazy Off the Wall things
  277. 10:46that make them uncomfortable to be
  278. 10:48associated with you because I can just
  279. 10:49imagine how his kids feel about this or
  280. 10:52will feel about this when they're older
  281. 10:53like that's kind of a heavy burden to
  282. 10:55bear and I don't think that's fair to do
  283. 10:57to any kid I think that you have a
  284. 10:59responsibility as a parent to kind of
  285. 11:01stop and think about what you're saying
  286. 11:03even if even if it is a very firmly held
  287. 11:06belief
  288. 11:08you can hold a very controversial belief
  289. 11:11very firmly if you can express it in a
  290. 11:14way
  291. 11:15that completely completely encapsulates
  292. 11:19what you believe
  293. 11:20I personally
  294. 11:22I'm not sure I will say right off hand
  295. 11:25that it doesn't seem to me like Kanye
  296. 11:27has any special hate for any one group
  297. 11:30of people
  298. 11:31I don't think that's the case I think
  299. 11:33he's been listening to the wrong people
  300. 11:35I think he's been mixing with the wrong
  301. 11:37people and I think he's more easily
  302. 11:40persuadable maybe more easily influenced
  303. 11:44than some people and I know his life is
  304. 11:46in a really tough place right now
  305. 11:48um that's just my two cents right off
  306. 11:51the cuff I know this just happened today
  307. 11:52I felt like I had to say something
  308. 11:54because I've kind of been going back and
  309. 11:55forth with people on both sides of the
  310. 11:57aisle about it
  311. 11:59being called a Nazi and then also being
  312. 12:01called not sufficiently pro-free speech
  313. 12:02we'll do that to you but I don't think
  314. 12:05that there is
  315. 12:09I don't see that there's a disagreement
  316. 12:11between being pro-free speech and
  317. 12:14anti-anti-semitism
  318. 12:17um I don't think that's really too
  319. 12:18complicated either I don't think that's
  320. 12:20asking too much I think that every sane
  321. 12:22normal person is
  322. 12:23probably both largely free speech and
  323. 12:26also anti-anti-semitic and I don't think
  324. 12:29that's crazy to say either but I think
  325. 12:32that people get on Twitter and then they
  326. 12:34become really myopic everyone's a Nazi
  327. 12:37or everyone is not good enough at
  328. 12:39promoting free speech
  329. 12:41we can be moderate even on social media
  330. 12:44and I would really recommend this
  331. 12:45especially in the light of Connie this
  332. 12:47freaking Kanye thing because we more
  333. 12:51than anything we need to recognize
  334. 12:53what's going on with him as we do have a
  335. 12:56burgeoning mental health crisis in this
  336. 12:58country we need to recognize the
  337. 13:00symptoms we need to understand when it's
  338. 13:03time to maybe put someone in a
  339. 13:05conservatorship I'm not saying that
  340. 13:06needs to happen with Kanye I am saying
  341. 13:08that he needs Connie is a prime example
  342. 13:11of someone who needs the support of the
  343. 13:13community to make good decisions he
  344. 13:16needs that positive cultural enforcement
  345. 13:18those people around him who tell him hey
  346. 13:20that's not a good idea maybe you
  347. 13:23shouldn't do that maybe instead of this
  348. 13:25you should do this offer him some
  349. 13:27Alternatives give him a different
  350. 13:29approach kind of encourage him to be a
  351. 13:32little more introspective about what he
  352. 13:34says maybe put a pause on going on shows
  353. 13:37since apparently that's super stressful
  354. 13:39for him like Alex Jones was literally
  355. 13:42giving him an out he was literally
  356. 13:44saying but you're not what people say
  357. 13:46you are you're not what people are going
  358. 13:48to accuse you of being right and Kanye
  359. 13:52was like well actually maybe I am and I
  360. 13:55really feel like he could have used it's
  361. 13:57possible that maybe he just shouldn't do
  362. 13:59these live shows if they're so stressful
  363. 14:01and hard for him he's going to say these
  364. 14:03off-the-wall things I think that if he
  365. 14:06had
  366. 14:07a company of people around him willing
  367. 14:09to tell him no and willing to tell him
  368. 14:11hey you should maybe give it a rest for
  369. 14:13a little while you need to take a little
  370. 14:15break go on a vacation focus on
  371. 14:17something else
  372. 14:18this is what happens I would I dare say
  373. 14:20that Kanye West is what happens when you
  374. 14:23don't have Community Support to hold you
  375. 14:25accountable because Jordan Peterson
  376. 14:27talks about how we go crazy if we don't
  377. 14:29have other people to bounce our ideas
  378. 14:31off of and to me it just seems like
  379. 14:33Kanye West doesn't have good friends to
  380. 14:36tell him what is a good idea and what's
  381. 14:37not
  382. 14:38and that's truly truly sad because he's
  383. 14:40at the top of the hierarchy he's one of
  384. 14:43the richest guys okay he's been
  385. 14:45incredibly successful in music he's been
  386. 14:47incredibly successful in business he's
  387. 14:49done all sorts of amazing things but
  388. 14:51still he lacks this basic thing that the
  389. 14:54ordinary average peasant used to have
  390. 14:56200 years ago like he doesn't have a
  391. 15:00church family he doesn't have his family
  392. 15:02in his side he doesn't have like a
  393. 15:05supportive wife to tell him what to do I
  394. 15:08honestly I could place a lot of blame on
  395. 15:10his ex-wife too because
  396. 15:13when you marry someone you know what
  397. 15:15you're getting into with someone like
  398. 15:17Kanye you have to understand that you're
  399. 15:19going it's going to be hard okay with
  400. 15:22someone super smart and super eccentric
  401. 15:24like Kanye always has been you have to
  402. 15:27recognize that your job is going to be
  403. 15:30saying no a lot of the time and it's
  404. 15:32going to be kind of pushing back and
  405. 15:34bouncing ideas and being like hey you
  406. 15:36know I really care about you I don't
  407. 15:38want you to do this will you please just
  408. 15:40sleep on this or whatever wait to make
  409. 15:42this decision just put it off for a
  410. 15:43little while we'll come back to it later
  411. 15:45you don't have to do this show we can
  412. 15:47find you another one
  413. 15:49but without the support of his wife with
  414. 15:51without his family around him without
  415. 15:53his mom for example he talks about his
  416. 15:55mom a lot ever since she died and
  417. 15:58without a really solid structure to his
  418. 16:01life he's suffering and it's clear to
  419. 16:04see why and I I my heart goes out to him
  420. 16:07for sure I don't want him to be
  421. 16:08anti-semitic I don't want him to be
  422. 16:10saying all this stuff about Hitler I
  423. 16:12think that's terrible
  424. 16:14but at the same time to me it just comes
  425. 16:16across as much more of a cry for help
  426. 16:18than anything else so I really hope that
  427. 16:21he finds the help he needs and that's
  428. 16:22not just medical that's not just
  429. 16:24medicine to make him feel better this
  430. 16:26would be stuff like a solid church that
  431. 16:29is not led by Louis Farrakhan or anybody
  432. 16:31of that nature
  433. 16:33um uh consistent family contact and I'm
  434. 16:36hoping that he's on good terms with his
  435. 16:38ex-wife and stays on good terms with his
  436. 16:40kids because I know that he really cares
  437. 16:42about them these are things that make a
  438. 16:44big difference to him that have been
  439. 16:46lately just taken away from him and I
  440. 16:48honestly don't blame him for having a
  441. 16:50kind of mental break now if he is full
  442. 16:53on anti-semitic also that's fine you can
  443. 16:55the fact of the matter is at the end of
  444. 16:57the day you can still be rude you can
  445. 16:59still be mean online and in person that
  446. 17:02is called freedom of speech but people
  447. 17:04are going to know that about you and
  448. 17:06then people are going to judge you for
  449. 17:07it that's just one of the things that
  450. 17:09happens when we say things when words
  451. 17:11when noises come out of our mouth people
  452. 17:13will look at us and judge us based on
  453. 17:15that no matter how well thought out
  454. 17:17those words are or how poorly thought
  455. 17:19out those words are so hopefully that's
  456. 17:21something that he figures out I hope he
  457. 17:23figures out his community situation I
  458. 17:26hope he gets his family life back
  459. 17:27together and I hope he's able to calm
  460. 17:30down maybe Retreat from the public eye
  461. 17:32for this I think he needs to get out of
  462. 17:34the influence of bad people and into the
  463. 17:36influence of good people hopefully at
  464. 17:38church and all that good stuff but
  465. 17:39that's all I had to say about Kanye
  466. 17:41today I just I feel bad at the end of
  467. 17:43the day I really do he does seem sad he
  468. 17:45seems kind of lost and I hope he's able
  469. 17:48to find his way and I hope he can have
  470. 17:50that solid family support that everyone
  471. 17:52deserves so until tomorrow
