poop. 75% disapprove. 10% said are you seriously asking me if i approve of dog poop. i am surprised by that. if so many of us disapprove of dog poop we sit there saying "goodboy, good boy, when they're doing it." a mixed message. a historian, gavin mensius has evidence that the chinese discovered america before christopher columbus did. he found what he claims is a 600-year-old map that shows a drawing of the western hemisphere. the map made my admiral jiang 70 years before columbus got here. he said the chinese were the first to sail across the ocean to north america. then they realize they'd forgot the sweet & sour sauce and had to go back. but still -- i don't bit. i don't know. i am not an expert on history. but if the chinese discovered america, wouldn't all of our stuff be made in china? oh, wait --
11:36 pm
you know christopher columbus does get too much credit. first he thought he was coming to india. secondly, what did he discover? there were already people here. like crashing your car through the door of a starbuck's saying you discovered coffee. it's not -- here is a depressing new product. this is real. kick starter project. called ticker. a watch that counts down the moments until your death. it is literally your deathwatch. it is, calculates the probable date of your death based on your health and variety of factors. and you watch it go, you watch -- you watch, really making it the worst possible gift for grandparents' day. though it is good for getting out of dinner. sorry, i -- 7:00 i'll be dead. technically isn't your heart a watch that is counting down to your death? mine is. you know, since tonight is a night on which we'll be focussed on a twitter battle. i thought it would be

>> jimmy: how are you? >> i am okay. >> jimmy: thank you for coming. i am very happy you came. i am glad you did. i wanted to clear this up. i really felt bad about all of this stuff, i did. and i guess the first question i should ask is who are you wearing? >> it's ralph. >> jimmy: is it -- you have, is that a new grille you have there? >> no they have been in my mouth for three years. >> jimmy: that one on the bottom. okay. all right. good to see you. >> good to see you too. >> jimmy: i guess we should talk about what happened. because i do think that -- i think that some where in you you want people to understand where you're coming from is that true? >> correct. >> jimmy: we did a sketch on the show where we had, you did an interview with the bbc radio. >> uh-huh. >> jimmy: it was an intense interview. i will be honest with you. i only saw a couple little parts of the interview when, when, we
11:56 pm
did this sketch. >> that's what i thought. >> jimmy: which is not, you know, in fairness there was context to it and we took it out of context. and we had a couple little kids re-enact it. which, you know, i didn't think would be something that bothered you. actually we have a little clip. do you mind if we play so people understand. >> i reached a point in my life, i'm not trying to regurgitate myself. i'm a private person. not just clothing, water bottle design, architecture, everything you can think about. and six years ago, to fendi, they said no, how many [ bleep ] have you seen with leather jogging pants. >> jimmy: now i will tell you that, the truth is the main reason that i did that is because i like to see kids curse.
11:57 pm
i think it's funny. and i think that -- that, some people read into it differently. like that we were positioning you as a, as a child which was not the case. in fact that is something we have done with a number of people with, you know, with lady gaga, quite a few people, where we had kids say what they said and re-enact it. of course this is not something you knew. this is not something that probably people who just watched it on line or whatever knew. and you, you called me and you were, i mean, i know, a lot of people most people think this is some publicity stunt that you and i cooked up. but this isn't, right? >> yeah, everyone out there in tv world, real world, whatever world you stay in, need to know i have never done a publicity stunt. any time i spoke my mind, put my career in jeopardy, some one so-called said, what i thought was the truth, reading through a
11:58 pm
teleprompter, i don't follow rules of normal celebrity or what their publicist tells them to stay. i don't do publicity stunts, period. don't ever think that. >> jimmy: yeah, me neither, guys. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: we talked on the phone. and, i didn't, i didn't really know why you were calling. i had heard you were upset. i didn't know what exactly the context was. and -- we had a bad conversation, right? >> yeah, i just think, i knew you before, and i remember you telling me after, i saw you at a wedding, i have seen you a couple times saying hey, i want people to know this side of you different things. i saw this good guy. at this wedding, blah, blah, blah. so when i saw the skit which i didn't even watch all the way through i didn't want to be infuriated. i said i know you. you know? and so a combination of me knowing you but also me not knowing the person who put you
11:59 pm
know a bad headline on the cover of "in touch" and me not knowing this person. i was like this is the one person i know. so i can go and let out everything that i feel about every single bogus weekly cover, every single bogus skit, every single rumor, barber shop, everything people feel is okay to treat celebrities like zoo animals or act like what they're saying is not serious or life is not serious or dreams are not serious. and you know it kind of just went and kind of elevated from a call that we just had as men where, you know that, that elevates some times. you take a guy, you know, you know, jimmy, he does his thing. everything. i do my thing. at a certain point, the egos can flare up. and you know we kind of, we kind of just took it back to high school for a little bit. that's what i think. yeah. >> jimmy: i got beat up a lot in high school. so i didn't want to go back to high school. and this is something that -- just to -- be honest with, with, with everyone, this is something
12:00 am
that when you are with another celebrity we complain about, about the zoo animal is a perfect, it is a perfect thing. because there is, there is just this kind of people online, especially, just want you to click through. so they'll put whatever they have to put as the headline to get you to click through. and a lot, it can be damaging. i think people look at you and go, this is a guy who has got millions of dollars, a beautiful wife, a new baby, he's, we can't possibly hurt this guy. i mean, and to be honest like, even though i am in that same position too, i don't have a baby. even though i am in the same position, you know it's not something that comes to my mind when, i'm cooking up a comedy sketch. it is, some of these things are hurtful. and the truth is important. and it's -- you know, on the other hand i also will say that a lot of times i think you bring it on yourself this, this kind
12:01 am
of misunderstanding about you. i personally found it odd to be in the position that i was in. because as you said, i often, because i don't know if you know this, a lot of people think you are a jerk. i often in my own personal conversations say, no i know this guy. he is not a jerk. i'm telling you he is not a jerk. in fact, i think i have a picture which i happened to see on my dad's ipad at the wedding, you and my dad, who you may have thought wolf blitzer in fairness. but, i mean, you know, to go to a wedding of a friend of mine, i think you took a southwest airlines flight out to that wedding, just to make it to the guy who is just a co-worker, just to go to his wedding and then to be so nice to everyone there. that tells me a lot about you. everyone is nice to me when i meet them they know i have a talk show. almost everyone is on their best behavior. what i observe is how, celebrities behave around other people. how they treat our staff, how they treat, you know, in this
12:02 am
case, my family. and i always said that to people about you. i think it is important for, what i know, part of you've doesn't care. i see you on stage, saying i don't want to hold your baby. i will drop your baby on its head. i don't believe an of that stuff when you say it. >> i am not running for office. you know what i am saying. i am here to make good music, make people feel good when they hear my music. when i did the interview i was very vocal about a lot of thingize hathing i s i have been dealing with, put in the classification of just a celebrity. for me, i am creative genius. i know you are not supposed to say that about yourself. i say things wrong way, my intention is positive. i am going to bring more things to the world. help the world. make people's lives easier. i spent two of my checks in telemarketing when i was 18 years old on my fairst pairst p gucci slippers. you couldn't find cool stuff
12:03 am
when you were growing up. i care about cool stuff. means something to me. means a lot to people who are like me. i was talking on the interview. when i come on here, i can laugh and joke and say a skit, and say, we love kanye, we think his baby is cute, whatever. but for me, it's -- it's -- it's bigger than who i am even in this, in my, my presence living. it's about when i was on earth, what did i do to help? what point did i hit a glass ceiling, people said, no, you are a celebrity. you can't help in this box. you can't help in this box. i talked to quincy jones at john lege legend's wedding, you can do music, when you produce, you understand texture and colors. i had an art background before i was a musician. people told me i couldn't rap. people had advice. i shouldn't try to rap. i wouldn't say i am a rapper, more of a messenger than a rapper. when you people say rap, it undermines. it recontexting what i said. if you guys look at this
12:04 am
interview it is something extremely fearless for some one in my position to do. most people bow down to tv, bow down to the cameras. i could care less about an of these cameras in all honesty. all i care about my family. i care about protecting my girl, baby and my idea and my dreams. that's the reason why i went so crazy. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i want to go become to one thing you said, which is, when you said you are a genius. now i think that makes people, i think that upsets people. but the truth is, a lot of people think they're geniuses and nobody says it because it is weird to say it. but it is most certainly more honest to say i am a genius. >> i am totally weird. i am totally honest. i am totally inappropriate some times. and the thing for me to say i wasn't a genius i would just be lying to you and to myself. >> jimmy: i like that. ha-ha. it is true.
12:05 am
it is false humility whatever you want to call it. it is false. >> oh, my god it comes with your first tick tiget l.a. soon as y get off the plane. if you keep up the act long enough. go with the agency, they give you a star on the walk of fame one day for [ bleep ] kissing everybody's [ bleep ]. i want to shout out the walk of fame. they said they're not going to put my girl on the walk of fame because she is a reality star. it's look people are so, so dated and not modern. there nois no way a kim kardashn shouldn't have a star on the walk of fame! it is ridiculous, old concepts. for me it's like, i am just going to give you all the truth, and you are going to love to learn. and my grandfather loved ali, and you are going to love me or hate me or be me. >> jimmy: kanye west is here. more with kanye when we come back.

12:22 am
card. leather jogging pants didn't go through. and i brought that up, there are people who made whole careers off creating leather jogging pants. a phenomenon over the past three years. it was to say, you know, i would hit with the head designer of saint laurent. he would say stop giving these big brand your idea and everything. it would be just like what i was trying to express in the zan interviezane, and i am hip-hop, rapper, i have idea, that could mean something if i scan pcan put proper produ when i do nike or louis vuitton, the production was the same as my cd or who ever we arc working together. if i go out and make my t-shirt and call it kanye, everybody is going to think when i called myself a creative genius. what is genius about it. when people line up, this is like really genius. you need the production.
