Kanye West continues his anti-Semitic press tour.
The Yeezy billionaire recently sat down with Piers Morganfor a two-hour interview for the TV show’s host upcoming show.
A promotional clip from the interview was released Wednesday, October 19.
In the clip, Kanye and Piers go head-to-head about his recent remarks about Jewish people.
Kanye Dukes It Out With Piers Morgan On TV
“Do you now regret saying, ‘Deathcon 3 on Jewish people?’ Are you sorry you said that,” Piers asks the father-of-four.
“No. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not,” Kanye responds while Piers insists “you should be.”
Piers said Kanye’s “deathcon 3” comment is “as racist as anything you say you’ve been through and any pain you’ve experienced.”
“Racism is racism. You know that, I think, don’t you?” Morgan continued to press Kanye.

He shot back, “Yes, that’s why I said it. I fought fire with fire. I’m not here to get hosed down. That’s a different type of freedom fighter.”
Kanye seemed to take a step back from his defensive stance to somewhat apologize.
"I will say I'm sorry for the people I hurt...
"Hurt people hurt people, and I was hurt."

Talk about contradiction.
“You know, I will say I’m sorry for the people that I hurt with the defcon [comment] — the confusion that I caused. I feel like I caused hurt and confusion,” he said. “And I’m sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through.”
This interview comes after Kanye’s recent News Nation interview with Chris Cuomo.
The “Jesus Is King” rapper went on a brand-new rant about how a “Jewish underground media mafia” is ruining his career.
Kanye Told Chris Cuomo The "Jewish Media Mafia" Is After His Career
.@ChrisCuomo questions Ye if it's possible that antisemitic comments he's made violated social media apps' community guidelines. "I don't believe in that term… I classify as Jew also, so I actually can't be an antisemite," Ye says.

Ironically enough, in the same interview he said he doesn’t believe in the term, “antisemite,” because “I classify as a Jew also, so I actually can’t be an antisemite.”
Kanye claims Jewish media executives sabotaged his “White Lives Matter” show during Paris Fashion Week.
He also hates the fact that they call him a “rapper” and not a “billionaire.”
I'm Not A Rapper, I'm A Billionaire
“When I wore that White Lives Matter t-shirt, the Jewish underground media mafia already started attacking me,” Kanye said from the back seat of a car.
The father-of-four alleges the ‘JMM’ canceled his “store” and “SoFi stadium shows.”
“They have the press saying on 78 outlets that when I was arguing with Pete Davidson and Trevor Noah, they called me an abuser for arguing with people about my ex-wife and my family and when I get to see my kids and when I don't,” his rant continued. “And they just immediately disrespect me, they keep this crazy narrative going.”
To add even more insult to injury in Ye’s mind, he told Cuomo, “They never call me a billionaire. We never talk about even one right here, Hey, tycoon, billionaire, visionary, inventor. These are never used.”
Cuomo countered Ye’s claims about the “Jewish Media Mafia” by telling him, “So, there is no Jewish Media Kabal Mafia. That is a figment of either your imagination or a projection of a prejudice, okay? You may have had bad business dealings with people, it’s about those people. It’s not about their religion or faith and I know that you are intelligent and understand that when you target people because of their faith, other people may do so the same.”
Before turning his attention to the Jewish community as a whole, he alleged the Jewish people he was referring to have a certain “privilege.”
While speaking with @ChrisCuomo, Ye stands by comments he's made: "I don't have to understand or accept, because they're not willing to understand or accept. That's the reason why I'm not backing down…"#CUOMO pic.twitter.com/r9hv6wEp2S

"I don't have to understand or accept, because they're not willing to understand or accept. That's the reason why I'm not backing down…" Kanye retaliated. “People have had their careers destroyed. That’s why they keep on saying, ‘Oh yeah, well Ye is dangerous because he will keep talking.’”
Kanye said he was coming from “a place of love,” but will not “be owned by the Jewish media anymore.”
