| 0:00.0 | 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 |
| 0:45.7 | think about what Kanye West has said before we get into whether he is deserving of condemnation. |
| 0:52.2 | He's just been canceled by the sneakers that he endorsed. And I'm sure he'll be canceled |
| 0:58.2 | by many others. But is this just a way of legitimating canceled culture? Where should somebody |
| 1:05.0 | like me and probably many of you stand against canceled culture? And I'm against Kanye West |

| 1:38.9 | is Jewish? I do because I play basketball against him. When his name was Ralphie Lipschitz |
| 1:44.5 | 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 |
| 1:54.0 | up a lot better than I did. But the idea of focusing on Ralph Lauren as proof that their |
| 1:59.9 | Jews dominate blacks and going a little bit too far or having a Jewish manager or being |
| 2:08.0 | 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 |
| 2:23.1 | owner, I think of the 76ers, started a basketball team in Philadelphia called the Spaws, South |
