  1. You want to express to me get off all, I'm your scarecrow today. I'm your, I'm your punching bag today for everything I did. And I want you to stand up for all of the hate that I'm your Al Gore when he lost the election. Remember, he almost became a punching bag for the lady that had voted on him. And she just said all this stuff. And he's like, I know, I agree with you, right? But there's nothing, you know, that he could do about it with this. It's like things that you're saying, I agree with you. You know, it's like if you sit some kids in the principal's office and I punch somebody, right? I took my hand What it really means. Even Aria Emmanuel had to say this is a pop icon, right? And I went and just punched.

  2. And the chaos that's created by the media has split the country in half. And what us as beings with an engineer opportunity need to do right now is find the blue water. Where are places that we agree on? And I want you to finish everything. Hey, I'm going to let you finish. Everything

  3. You know what the biggest thing is With something a veteran that was sitting next to me at Cheesecake Factory last night, he said. The general justice, he serves for whoever is the president, right? And he said, what's happening in politics is. Forgetting we're on the same side. Forgetting around this, this is someone that is practically now he's a nurse, so he's still, you know, fighting for humanity in a way. He went from holding guns in battle to being a nurse. And when people are battling for their lives. And he said, we're forgetting we're on the same side. This is a person that no matter who becomes president, he can still be told to go to war.

  4. Well, at that point, it's like Trying to put me in jail or put a friend of mine in jail. Because then I'm gonna go surround the hotel and do all, you know, do something which would have me not be able to be here. And instead, I walked away from that situation. I went to Japan, like the samurai that I am, and went to the top of the mountain. And because I knew that, I mean, I knew there was no way she could love this dude, not just because he's ugly, he's not black. She likes black guys. Every guy that she, you know, is with looks exactly the same. Ray J, Reggie Bush at that time, Kanye West, she has a type, just like how I have a type. Like a lot of my girls look kind of similar to her because in a video game character, people have their type, right? So I knew that this was like...

  5. Be honest about the still the kids we used to be I put my hand on the stove to see if I still bleed And nothing hurts anymore I feel kind free. No, do you think. You know, I went to Japan for two to three months, right? The day I had Sunday service, my kids are supposed to be there and my kids were nowhere to be found. And I text Kim and said, where are my kids? We get into an argument, and then I get a text from a number I don't know. And it's Pete Davison bragging about being in bed with my wife.

  6. But here today, when you said as a sorry apology, what's the apology that you're looking for as a Jewish engineer? As Lex. Let's not talk about you being Jewish as Lex. What's the apology that you want me to say to, am I allowed to say Jewish? Tell me, is it an anti-Semitic for yay to say Jewish out loud?

  7. I feel your pain. I feel your pain. Yeah, I feel like no one's going to feel my pain. Only Brad and Leo can feel my pain.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  8. Yo, that was a sorry apology, and let's specify. I'm not asking for anyone out here to empathize or sympathize for a dude worth for $11 billion that can make money disappear, I mean, appear at a thin air in five different industries. You know, I'm not asking for the, I'm not asking anybody to sympathize with someone who's married to Kim Kardashian dated Irene Shakespeare. I feel like I'm just not going to get the sympathy vote in this situation, right?

  9. And America may rock and roll. I want to innovate as a creative person and be a successful American, but all of that had been taken away from me. So I'm comin' back and I'm removing the PSTD right now, right? I'm standing up and saying the only way that we're going to be able to get past this and the way God is going to use me right now is for me to stop talking about the pain, stop talking about what happened and do something about it. And that's where I'm at right now in this moment. Like, yeah, people agree at least there was something we could say he has a reason of why he got to that tweet. And what you're doing for me today is saying.

  10. You know, as a man, you can't blame all men. And I'm saying as a responsible forward philosopher leader, okay, I'll drop the pain and I will specify because I'm up here. I lost my fucking family. I lost my kids. I lost my best friend in fashion. I lost the black community. I lost people said I lost my mind. All of these things lost my reputation. And I'm up here just like I just want my family, but I don't want my family to have to say what the left wants us to say. To have to say what China wants us to say. I want to be an American and protect my kids and protect my wife and raise my kids as Christians and have my wife be a Christian and innovate.

  11. That woman may say, I hate men. She might get to that point because she was raped. All my contracts, and no one can say this is ramped up. Howard Stern can't say this is ramped up. Aria Emmanuel can't say this is ramped up. George Soros knows damn well that I'm not ramped up. George Soros knows like, wow, this guy's like a younger guy that's looking at what I did and looking at how I control the world silently and he's calling it out and he's not using any of the fear tactics. I can't send his homeboys around him. I can't send his wife to him. This guy, that's what George Sorrel sees, right? When he's dealing with me, right? So you guys are actually asking me to do, I'm comparing myself to that 18-year-old, beautiful woman that had been mistreated by men for four years of her life, right? And you're saying.

  12. Interviews. Let me go to this. You said this was a sorry apology. I was very specific. I said the Jewish because, by the way, it's a barrage, right? It's a thing where I don't even remember the names at a certain point, right? It's like if a girl was getting raped by men. That person's not 18, right? And she's getting raped since 14, right? And she still got this face, this super, like Irene shake level face, right? She might say, I hate men.

  13. We all can use our pain against each other. Or we can say we're a being with engineering opportunities. And we can know about history. So let me change something. We can have Just to be judgmental, people say thou should not judge. I was talking to Camille Vasquez. She says, I'm very judgmental. That's what we're doing. I believe, now you could go to Bible and one thing's going to say one thing, another thing may be contradicted in a way, and then the pastor has to unpack it. I believe... That we are to judge. If you look at some food and it's got a fly coming out of it, you can then judge at that point. You're supposed to use your better judgment. But whenever someone doesn't want to change something they're doing, they'll say, don't judge me, right?

  14. Now you're just doing clickbait like everybody else. Now you're just a saddle man, Howard. Now, Howard Stern, this is the first time anyone's said your name in years. Your own family doesn't say your name unless they're calling to get their bills paid.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  15. That's the whole point, Howard Stern. Nobody wants to kiss your dicks to shut the fuck up. I said, by the way, I'm antagonized you, Howard Stern. I used to be a fan of you.

  16. Transparently and will compare the notes and re engineer like it's a new constitution because when I told my dad when I was 19 I was going to get into the music industry he begged me not to. He said I heard it's treacherous Now I'm in a position where I've been through it, I saw it, I went out, made some money somewhere else I saw my name get smeared I saw my family get destroyed I saw my reputation get destroyed and I'm back here to have this kind of I'm back here as a being with engineering opportunities If you say as a shitty apology, what is the version? Of the apology short of Kissing Howard Stern's dick.

  17. This is something I propose. I would look at The top 10 execs in three fields in sports, film, and music. And I would look at the top 10 clients, participant talent. I would look at the top talent in each of those fields, the top 10 of them. And some of them are going to be Tom Brady. Some of them are going to be Taylor Swift. Some of them, they're not all going to be black, right? So. Some of them would be Adele, right? And we'll look at all their contracts.

  18. I have ran a record. Well, I've been ran by a record label where I was the face of a record label and had Big Sean and different people complaining to me and I knew fuck about running a record label. I was simply just a talented producer and an influencer. Then start a good music, but I wasn't the one running good music

  19. Quickly, so that's excalated quickly. You know what I'm saying? Where's our apology? But right? We can't get to apology because you're telling me there's no right way for me to word it. So tell me for me, a person who's been fucked on my deals and a person that has friends that never figured out how to make shoes with a German company that couldn't tell me to wear a BLM shirt and take off my red hat, like what would have happened if I was at Nike, right? Tell me exactly how to engineer the situation

  20. You're talking about it's a shitty opinion apology, but where's our fucking apology? Watch this. We don't get thank you. Now, let's move on.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  21. What I really feel there, I feel that there's no accountability and no responsibility on Jewish people in media to at least start with owning up with the facts of what's dealt with and tell me if I say the facts out loud to the point of Aria Manuel writing a letter in the Financial Times trying to take food out of my children's mouth, telling people that they're not allowed to work with me. Chris Como or Pierce Morgan getting me to apologize and separate Jewish business people from the families of the Jewish business people, which I did update. I did that. That already happened.

  22. Okay, I feel that We go into therapy. My dad was a therapist, and obviously I've got some. Therapy skills myself. A lot of people, my music is healing. These type of spa like existences or healing, the color palettes I use are healing. And we can use healing words, right?

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  23. But they are, though. That's the only thing. It just so happens that they are. You say that doesn't mean that I hate them. That just means. That they are

  24. Put me as the prophet, not the leader. It doesn't have to be the leader, right? Because we need a more intelligent person to be the leader. But at least, right, they put me as the prophet. They put me as the only person that would say this. And I'm just saying that was four Jewish members that controlled my voice because for the fact that ninety percent of black people in entertainment from sports to music to acting are in some way tied into Jewish business people, meaning that in some way just like if Rom is sitting next to Obama or Jared sitting next to Trump, there's a Jewish person right there controlling the country, the Jewish controlling who gets the best video or not, controlling what the media says about me.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  25. Because they were, right? Diagnose me with bipolar disorder and shot me with medication and put me on medication, then put it in the press. And every time, even if I wore the wrong color hat that a nigger is not supposed to wear, right, then they immediately say he's off of his shit, he's off his meds, he's off his rocker, and it's literally used as a scarlet letter control mechanism for the people understand the kids, the colleges, the high schools. What do you think they put me right now?

  26. Created, there is a Jewish trainer that brought me to the hospital and put in press that I went to the hospital. I know friends that off of exhaustion, a Jewish doctor, they diagnose Jewish.

  27. Okay, so if you're saying I should release that pain and separate it, then I'm telling you you should release your pain and separate it and we could get to this, the list of how you are being with engineering opportunities.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  28. Marxism and communism. I'm not disagreeing that that happened. I'm disagreeing that We need to harp on the things that happen because the truth is I'm given a fact 50% today of, let's say you don't call black people Jew, right? Black people's deaths today is abortion today, right now. Like that, it's not racism. That's too wide of a term. It's genocide and population control that black people are in today in America that is promoted by the music and the media that black people make that Jewish record labels get paid off of or media companies record labels media company also so let's give it a wider

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  29. Africans have always said, We've heard you've listened to rap music and hear black people say we kings, we blood of the pharaohs. If we are Jew, then we weren't. We were the people that Moses freed And when we talk about have you heard black people talk about 400 years of slavery? All right, that is in rep. And we're having this history lesson, right?

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  30. But let's say this undoubtedly Jewish people have a lot of movies about that pain and black people have a lot of movies about the pain of slavery, right? It's almost impossible to find a movie about Mansa Munsa. When you go to the African History Museum in Washington, D.C., it doesn't start with the idea of Africans being kings. It starts with the idea of Africans being slaves. But here's another interesting point about this. This was said to me one time and it stuck with me as a family member of mine. With Africans, how many times have you heard a rapper or, you know, talk about we were kings? That's incorrect if we're Jew. If we're Jew, and since we are, we weren't the kings, we were the slaves that Moses freed.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  31. Who presents himself in a way that says, Well, I don't have to feel your pain because I also have pain too that's not being recognized. And in every interview, when I say, well, why did I get to the point of putting up the tweet? No one wants to understand why I got to that point

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  32. History because what they do, what schools are doing is exactly what the CIA does with Pixar films and Disney films. They make Bambi's mom die in the beginning, right? And off that pain comes a purchase of ice cream. Off that pain comes, I need some more toys. Off that pain comes, I need a bigger house. Off that pain comes, I need more girls than my wife. Off that pain comes, so they put that pain in to make us, now we're the orphans of capitalism, to make us be consumers, and we need to be a community, not just consumers. So I could have went another seven minutes by being a person.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  33. I'm a follower of the idea. I have a vague idea that all people came from Africa. But what I wanted to do was Okay. Now could Andy Kaufman this about seven more minutes and then tell you what it is what the whole point is?

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  34. I know if Jewish people would accept that I'm Jew, then they would see what I'm saying in a different way. They would hear it in a different way.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  35. Right now with black people, Soros would use black trauma economy to win an election. What I love is having a healthy conversation. And as opposed to there's certain things, you know, boom, this drops, people gonna have pussy hats on. Boom. This drops is going to be, you know, black people and white people with signs. Boom. This drops. So hey, China, hey, left agenda. Hey, what we're going to do is say that our species can have a healthy conversation.

  36. And we're both Jew and we're brothers. Six million people died in the Holocaust, over 20 million have died by the hands of abortion, and the media promotes the My Body My Choice, which is actually still a promotion for Planned Parenthood. Fifty percent of black deaths. A year is actually abortion. It's not the cop with the knee. It's not black on black violence and gang violence. It's not heart attacks. It's actually abortion. The most dangerous place for a black person in America is in their mother's stomach.

  39. That's not what I'm my everything that I'm doing is for Sake of the human race. There's things in capitalism. There's things in technology. Technology and original human species can exist as a In a peaceful way. As long as the people that know how to make robots aren't using their robots to control the humans.

  42. Absolutely. I'm just here. It's actually It's difficult to make me. Unhappy. Now I could deal with frustrations. When those frustrations are, it's like When you've allowed people to be in your life that shouldn't be there, and then they do the thing you knew they were going to do and you're screaming at them, but you really need to scream at yourself.

So for everybody else, it's subjective. We've got history

  46. I'm open sourcing this idea right now so that engineers and anointed people beings, anointed beings can collectively contribute to this, to push our species forward. So where I've got to with my research is that there will be a hole at the top that allows natural light, natural air, and there's a constant water system so it becomes like a water city where it's a constant that's not as regenerative. It's not wasting the water and it's just a constant flow. So I put the toilet really close to where this, I don't want to call it a wave pool, but in the pool the water is not still.

  48. Now, but I'm promoting is you have the idea, you say it out loud. Like if you had Tourette's, say your truth out loud. If you hate, yay, you hate me, say that out loud. Say whatever you feel out loud. Like you say it non-violently, you know, non-violent. Non-violent, I have to say that as, you know, you know, as a shout out to Alex Jones, you know and Trump where they try to say that when they say their truths out loud that it's inciting violence. So let's be like really clear. I'm saying that They have criminalized free thought. I hate when people use they, like they get to blame for everything, right? It's always they. Who the fuck is that? Exactly

  49. So, as I state these things, I know that I have protection. If I have God's protection, that's why I'm here to this date, right? So it's for me to have this platform and express exactly what I feel because it's kids out there, right, that it's kids that are going to save the world through engineering and through facts. And I've got to get download as much of the information and as much of the don't be afraid to state your facts is the biggest thing because the world is being ran by fear and that is, no, actually God runs the world, but there's just like little cloud, this patina of our ego that deals with the money and the car and the girl we're dating and all this in the clothes we wear and spending too much on clothes and a lot of stuff that I've been involved with promoting.
