You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. You're rolling? But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Seth Done of CBS News, listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17th. This clip I watched of Kanye West that's going around. Have you seen this clip of his that's gone viral? He's like in this

interview with a hip-hop DJ big boy and it's really fascinated in the clipthat's gone viral? He's like in this interview with a hip-hop DJ Big Boy. And it's really fascinating in the clip he's like, you know, he's like, as black people, you know, black people have been brainwashed. You know, he's like, as black people have been brainwashed. And you know, as black people have to brainwashed. And you know, as like Democrat? And he's like, and you know, and black rappers, you know, it's like to talk about the culture. And he's like, the culture, they rap about fucking bitches and, and, you know, and buying foreign cars and, you know,

and doing and doing things that is illegal. Then you saying is wrong, but I'm like, are you shit like you are gonna say? You, you as Kanye West are gonna talking about other rappers, talking about buying for you as Kanye West. I know Spike Lee's gonna kill me, but let me finish. I'd rather buy 80 gold chains and go ignant. That Kanye West? That, that Kanye West, are you, you know what I mean? Like, are you serious?

You're such a fucking hoe, I love it? That Kanye West is gonna talk shit about rappers, all your fucking bitches. It's like, dude, come on, man. Here's my biggest issue is this. My biggest issue is this, I don't disagree that you can have your own opinion. That's what opinions are. You have them, right? But this is what I don't like, is when Kanye wears some people like him

will say, black people in America have been brainwashed. They've been brainwashed into voting for the Democrats, believing that they're victims. But we're not victims. We can vote Republican. Then I'm like, okay, let me get this straight. So you're saying every black person in America is brainwashed. Like, that's basically what, you're saying that 70, 80% of black people, 90% who are voting Democrat, they're brainwashed. So you're saying you're the only person who's enlightened. And all these black people are just stupidly following this Democrat victim.

What is more likely? The fact that that, in America, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, thi, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that's basically, that these people are brainwashed or the fact that in America you have to vote for the system that gives you the best chance of chance. You only have two choices. And if you're a black person, you go, well I'm going to vote for the the choice that gives me the best chance of success. If you're a gay person and you're a thoooe the the the the the the thi ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch chse thoe thoe thoe the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, throwne, thrown, thrown, thrown, throwne, throwne, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, the, the, the, the, the, throwne, throwne, thri, thri, thri, thri, thri, thri..eeeeeee, the thriiiii. throoo you have. If you're a woman who is voting for your right to choose, you will vote for the best chance you have. You may not even like all of the Democrat positions, but you're like, yeah, but I'm voting for my best shot and that's what voting is all about. But he's going to make, because if you look at it, just simply drill, to, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, you, you, and, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, the, the, you're, to, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you. the the right, you. the the the the the the, you. the, you. the, you. the, you. the, you. the, you.. the, you. the, the, and, the, and, and, and, the, and, the, the, the. the to. the to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the the the the the the option to fuck with a Democrat vote. He does. He has the option to be like, yeah, I'll try a Democrat. I'll play.

Because you get to a point, it's true, when you're famous and rich enough as a black person as, it's like, yeah, your life isn't affected the same way by Republican policies. In fact, it may be gonna, you know who doesn't mess around with their votes in America? Black women. They don't. They do not.

And I refuse to live in a world where I go, like, black women have been brainwashed. No, I don't think black women in America have been brainwashed. I think if anything, black women in America have the least, the least leewaywaywaywaywaywaywaywaywaywaywaywaywaywayway to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to me to think if anything black women in America have the least, the least leeway when it comes to messing around with their vote. They have the least, they have the least opportunity to be like I don't care, I'll try this out, I'll mess around. Black women in America are like no, I know where my vote needs to go because I know how important this is to me. because as a woman and as a black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black black the black the the the the the the to to the to to th. th. thi th. th. th. th. thi th. th.

Because as a woman and as a black person combined,

the impacts of my voter exponentially felt. I have a higher rate of mortality when I'm giving birth. I have a higher chance of not getting a loan. I have a higher chance of not getting a job. I will get exponentially less for doing the same job as somebody else. As a black woman, I cannot afford to mess around with this vote. You go like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like likethis vote. You go like that to me is not a brainwashed person. That's not a victim.
