Welcome back to the Dershow, Kanye West. Is Kanye West an anti-Semite who should be

0:09.2

canceled or is he a mentally ill person who should be helped? Or is he both? The one

0:16.8

thing that's clear is that he has influence and his anti-Semitic outbursts are getting

0:24.9

some followers. And here's a photograph of people giving a Nazi salute and putting

0:33.1

up signs on freeways, Kanye is right about the Jews, et cetera, et cetera. There have

0:39.2

been other tweets and other things in which people support Kanye West. Well, let's first

and he played from Manhattan to a medical academy. And I played for Brooklyn to a medical

1:48.4

academy in Madison Square Garden. Neither of us was star players, but he dressed a heck

Jews dominate blacks and going a little bit too far or having a Jewish manager or being

signed to a Jewish basketball team. You know, the last time there was a Jewish basketball

2:12.8

team was the Philadelphia Spaws in about 1947 to 1948. Gottlieb, who was the original
