Mobeen and panel look at how Kanye became an anti-Semite with anger management issues. He is very specifically stepping away from his music and embraces figures including white nationalists like Nick Fuentes. Fuentes is part of Ye’s 2024 presidential bid. He's also a Holocaust denier that believes in Christian supremacy and wants America to be a theocracy. Kanye says ‘Black Lives Matter is a scam” and posts anti-Semitic tweets. There are real world consequences to his words- a man shouts ‘Kanye 2024’ during an attack on a 63 year old Jewish man in Central Park. More broadly, the hashtag ‘Ye is right’ gets linked to anti-Semitic abuse and attacks. What took Kanye West from hit-maker to a political agitator, spreading anti-Jewish hate? And where does he go next? Mobeen explores the rapper's rise and fall.Clip: Tucker Carlson with Kanye West/Fox News Presenter: Mobeen Azhar
