This week, Briahna spoke to friend of the show (and star of Rising Mondays) Olayemi Olurin about the compounding Kayne West scandals that emerged this week. Was his "Death Con 3" tweet enough to finally "cancel" him? Apparently not for Candace Owens, who mounted a full defense on her podcast earlier this week. We tackle it all, from the Tucker interview to the Sarah Silverman tweet, and engage in a health debate about the merits of watching right wing media at all.

| 0:00.0 | All right, look, it is always such a pleasure to be joined on Bad Faith podcast by Olaimee Olyrin. |
| 0:06.6 | You know where you love her. You love her from her commentary on the law. She's a public defender, |
| 0:12.4 | a righteous advocate for working people caught up in our criminal justice system. You may have seen |
| 0:17.5 | her on all kinds of different outlets, but most recently, she made it onto a John Oliver real. |
| 0:25.2 | And truly exemplary fashion doing what she does best. Welcome back to Bad Faith podcast, Olaimee. |
| 0:32.7 | Thank you, Rudy. Now, look, I feel almost a little bit bad because after slaying demons and |
| 0:40.1 | advocating righteously for indigent populations and people who really need a lot of help, |
| 0:45.8 | I have brought you here once again to talk about some nonsense. I want to talk about me. |
| 0:50.0 | I would love to be so bad. Life is heavy. And this is obviously, this is like politically adjacent |
| 0:59.4 | mess. This isn't just like random mess. You know, this is another dating episode, although we |
| 1:03.8 | definitely should circle back around to that one. We're here to talk about Kanye West. |
| 1:08.6 | Now, when I reached out to you, there was like one Kanye West story that has now kind of |
| 1:15.4 | evolved into a series of Kanye West story. The first prong of the Kanye Michigas was the |
| 1:23.3 | wearing of the White Lives Matter t-shirts with Candace Owens to a fashion show about a week ago now. |
| 1:31.5 | That spawned a whole other cycle, including a lot of release supportive videos from |
| 1:36.5 | Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, other figures on the right about why that was a |
| 1:42.4 | reasonable and good political choice to make. And that sent a very intentional message. And that |
| 1:48.8 | Kanye West was in fact a very thoughtful social commentator. And then subsequently, |
| 1:55.8 | there was Kanye West's erratic tweeting that he was going to go to death con three D-A-T-H-Con |
| 2:05.4 | three against the Jewish people. And subsequently, very little in the way of retractment |
| 2:10.9 | from his supporters about all of the intervening statements. In fact, there has been a doubling down |
| 2:16.3 | in particular from Candace Owens that I would love to walk us through. But just high level, |
