Summary

Kanye West seems more unhinged than ever before—and that’s saying something. And with Milo Yiannopolos now booted from Kanye's orbit, the only person who’s really winning is white nationalist Nick Fuentes, says host Will Sommer on this week’s episode of Fever Dreams. Then, Jim Small, editor in chief of the Arizona Mirror, catches us up to speed on Arizona’s election—and which conspiracy theorists in a couple of fringe counties are still doing their best to keep hope alive.
