Ep 718 | Kanye Praises Hitler & Defends Balenciaga

Today we're diving into the Kanye West (who now legally goes by "Ye") saga that's been unraveling over the past few weeks. We break down the entire timeline, from Ye's initial controversial statements on Tucker Carlson and at Paris Fashion Week to his scary and unhinged comments against Jewish people this week. We look at some of the statements from the unreleased parts of Ye's Tucker Carlson interview and on the podcast "Drink Champs." We discuss his dinner with Trump and the controversy of Ye's relationship with Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos. Then, we talk about Ye's appearance on "Timcast," in which he stormed off set after host Tim Pool pushed back on his views on Jewish people, which was quickly followed by an appearance on Alex Jones’ “Infowars,” where he shared very clear and consistent praise for Hitler and Nazis. He was then kicked off Twitter for posting similar anti-Semitic statements. We end with some final thoughts on how we as Christians should approach “speaking out” against things like this. --- Timecodes: (01:27) History of Kanye's controversies (09:40) "White Lives Matter" and Tucker Carlson interview (14:30) Interview on Drink Champs & with Chris Cuomo (18:13) Trump dinner (23:37) Ye on Timcast (29:30) Ye on Alex Jones’ Infowars (34:55) Kicked off Twitter (39:25) Ye’s defense of Balenciaga (48:23) Final thoughts --- Today's Sponsors: Raycon — go to BuyRaycon.com/ALLIE today to save 15% off sitewide with code "HOLIDAY", plus free shipping!
