West claimed at one point that "300 Zionists" are in control of the media and the government, speculated on pedophilia and the Talmud, and ranted bafflingly about Israeli political figure Benjamin Netanyahu.

It was his repeated and explicit praise for Hitler and Hitler's Nazi movement that gained the most attention. "I see good things about Hitler also," West said.
Other quotes:
"They did good things too. We have to stop dissing the Nazis all the time."
"The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world."
"I don't like the word evil next to Nazis. [...] I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis."
"Woke culture is controlled by the Zionist media."
Even as West continued to spew hate on Jones' show, the House Judiciary Committee Republican Twitter account finally deleted their infamous October tweet:
Kanye West's Twitter account was personally reinstated by Elon Musk after Musk's takeover of the company; West had previously been suspended from Twitter for other antisemitic remarks. West claimed during the interview that he would be allowing Fuentes and Jones to tweet from his reinstated Twitter account today—a move that would further test the limits of Musk's support for antisemitic hate speech.
Whether West's new outburst results in any action from the Republican Party (or Fox News) to further distance themselves from the antisemitic far-right is unknowable.
