Summary

What happens when one of the most famous recording artists in the world has a full divorced-dad-crisis and plummets into the abyss he's been dangling over for ages, the abyss of far-right, antisemitic, pro-Nazi conspiracy theories? Well, now we know, because we've all been watching Ye (the artist formerly known as Kanye West) cart Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos around with him like his new crew of homies and hype men as he dines with Trump, does interviews with Tim Pool and Alex Jones, and chats with Gavin McInnes (founder of the Proud Boys) in what looks like a torture basement from cheap kink porn, all the while loudly declaring that Hitler did nothing wrong and the Jews are out to get him.

This episode focuses less on Ye himself and more on the Right's varied reactions to his odyssey of enthusiastic newly-converted-nazi antics. We check in with, amongst others, Nick Fuentes himself, Matt Walsh, and Elijah Schaffer.
