  Hi. I'm Jay Fallon, and thank you
• 0:08
  for listening to the slippery slope.
• 0:10
  So probably there two weeks ago I did an episode on Kanye West
• 0:15
  and just regarding some of the comments.
• 0:16
  He made. He's basically stands his stance
• 0:19
  against abortion. You know who you've had a little
• 0:23
  interview on Tucker Carlson Tucker Carlson just in case you
• 0:29
  haven't heard about. It got a lot of publicity and,
• 0:32
  you know, I have quite liked Kanye's.
• 0:37
  Christian music that is brought out, I thought, obviously, I
• 0:41
  think he's musically is very good.
• 0:43
  As a producer, he is who really knows what he's doing.
• 0:47
  I think he's a great artist. However, the latest comments
• 0:50
  that he brought out and these has caused all this controversy
• 0:55
  also, apparently has caused him to lose a lot of money.
• 0:59
  Yeah, I think So it's a little weird, it's very disappointing.
• 1:02
  The comments that I'm talking about it was where he said
• 1:06
  earlier early in the month in October.
• 1:09
  He said that he was going Defcon 3 on Jewish people and then he
• 1:15
  also alleged that he wasn't anti anti semantics because black
• 1:21
  people are actually do also, okay?
• 1:27
  Very, very weird thing to say, but all I can say, all I really
• 1:32
  want to say about this is He is obviously being the receiver of
• 1:38
  some very bad teaching. I don't know where don't
• 1:42
  understand where he's where he's come across this this teaching
• 1:46
  that black people are actually do.
• 1:48
  Also, I have heard it. It seems to be more of an
• 1:52
  American thing. Yes, I'm not really all over
• 1:56
  this over this idea that black people, you know, and if they
• 2:00
  talking about black people had these just a generalization of
• 2:04
  All black people, there's a certain black people in America.
• 2:08
  Is it certain tribes that have come out of Africa?
• 2:11
  I don't know. But this idea that black people
• 2:16
  are actually due to also, or in fact that he can say that he's
• 2:20
  going Defcon 3 on Jewish people and then somehow not think that
• 2:25
  it was going to cause a backlash to me.
• 2:29
  It just seems like he has received some very bad teaching.
• 2:33
  He has gotten his head around. And some very bad ideas.
• 2:39
  Obviously, causing a lot of harm, not going to stand up for
• 2:42
  him. I don't don't care for what he
• 2:44
  said at all. I think it was quite repugnant.
• 2:48
  I think the most disappointing things out of what's happening
• 2:51
  with Kanye at the moment is for one, he stands up.
• 2:54
  He is such a prominent quote-unquote, Christian,
• 3:00
  supposedly Born Again believer. And I'm not I'm not saying
• 3:04
  whether he is actually saved or not saved whether he true Really
• 3:09
  does believe in what the Bible says.
• 3:10
  And whether he obviously, I don't think he actually
• 3:13
  understands the teachings in the Bible properly.
• 3:17
  If you can go for what he's talking about with Jewish
• 3:20
  people, that this is the problem.
• 3:22
  When you have high profile people talking about things that
• 3:26
  they don't really understand. In reality, he is a very, very
• 3:30
  new Christian but the problem is, he's very, very high-profile
• 3:36
  is like, probably the most famous Is person in the world,
• 3:40
  definitely the most famous rapper or musician artist in the
• 3:44
  world and you know, for him immediately be replaced on this
• 3:49
  pedestal and and looked upon as being some kind of Christian
• 3:53
  leader. I think it's been very bad
• 3:56
  obviously, like I said, he's gotten his hands on some very
• 4:00
  bad teaching, but this is how easily false teachers sneak in
• 4:05
  to the church. Now, you know, I'm not saying
• 4:09
  he's a false teacher, but the problem is, he is so high
• 4:13
  profile and there's so many people that will be listening to
• 4:16
  him. And I don't know.
• 4:18
  Maybe, there's people like me out there who never even thought
• 4:20
  about black people supposedly being Jews.
• 4:23
  Which, again, I'll say, I don't think I've done the.
• 4:25
  I don't understand where it come from, I can never felt.
• 4:28
  I've never found anything to me. It's a false teaching, okay,
• 4:33
  this is what happens when you have this celebrity lifestyle
• 4:37
  and people. People look at Celebrities
• 4:40
  rather than learning the Bible properly following, someone like
• 4:44
  Kanye West, and looking to someone like them.
• 4:47
  For leadership in your faith will only lead you astray as
• 4:53
  much as I like Kanye and his music.
• 4:57
  Very disappointing, what he said, I would recommend you stay
• 5:01
  away from anything that he supposedly teachers, and, and I
• 5:07
  thought for a long time, definitely stay away from this
• 5:10
  from his Sunday services that he's been holding two, not good,
• 5:15
  not good at all. If you want to learn what the
• 5:17
  Bible says, read it for yourself, study it properly and
• 5:22
  get ahold of some good teachers, some good teachers, who teach
• 5:27
  the Bible verse by verse, teach it properly.
• 5:30
  Not someone like a celebrity Pastor or a celebrity rapping
• 5:34
  musician. Who just goes with their
• 5:37
  feelings. Just going with the crowd just
• 5:40
  going with what's popular. Now, that's just my opinion.
• 5:46
  Hey, thank you for listening to the slippery.
• 5:49
  Slope.
