[CHEERING]
This is fantastic.
It is fantastic.
Yeah!
Hi, Kris, how are you?
Hi!
I'm amazing.
Yeah, are you?
I am.
I'm good.
Are you?
I am.
How are you?
I'm great.
She's great
I'm great.
[LAUGHTER]
I don't have a large family, I'm fantastic.
[LAUGHTER]
I mean, it seems like--
is there ever a boring week in your family?
Is there a week that nothing is going on?
No.
Never?
Never.
Something is going on with someone all the time?
I don't even sleep anymore.
Like, in the middle of the night--
Kim's out of the country right now,
and I got a phone call at some god-awful hour,
and she's got a question.
And I'm like, we're on LA time.
So there's always something.
They know you're-- they don't care.
Yeah.
They just wake you up.
Exactly.
She's out of the country again?
I thought she just got back.
Yeah, well, she's gone again.
Oh god.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, so let's just get this out of the way.
Let's talk about Kanye.
And I know you're in a tough position to talk about it.
Yeah.
But it just seems like at some point
we have to address what do you want to say?
Well, here's the thing--
I mean, you don't want to say anything, I'm sure.
No. (LAUGHING) No.
[LAUGHTER]
But Kanye is an amazing son-in-law.
He's an amazing dad and husband and friend and brother-in-law.
And so we know my son-in-law, Kanye.
And my job as a mom is just to be there for my kids,
and be supportive, and love them and tell--
you can't control what somebody else is doing.
I can't always control what any of them do at any time.
No.
But I think what I really want to do
is be there to help him be the best version of himself
that he can be.
And he knows that we're there if he needs us.
And you're always concerned when there's controversy and drama,
and things are going on, and it's sometimes worrisome.
I mean, when you have six kids, an extended family, and nine
grandchildren, there's a lot going on.
But I just want to be there, and be supportive, and be there
if he needs me.
But is he letting you be there?
That's really where my heart is.
I mean, that's my question.
Because I think-- and I know Kanye.
I know you do.
I've known him for a long time, and I know that side of him.
But right now, we're seeing a different side of him.
And I feel like--
I mean, when you see something like--
did you see when he went to the White House?
And how did you feel when you saw that?
I did after the fact.
Well, you know, it was surprising
that he was able to have that--
it was very spontaneous.
And the stuff that they were talking about--
when they got to the airplane, I was like, oh,
my gosh, that's so Kanye.
I mean, he was sharing thoughts and things of himself.
But I would rather he share some of that stuff privately.
Obviously, it would be great.
But I have to be able to show him
that I'm here if he needs me.
We're all here if he needs us, and we just
want to help him be the best he can be.
But he definitely has his own thoughts and opinions,
and he gets very excited about that.
And I don't know how else--
I mean, you've known him a long time.
I've known him a long time.
And he does have different sides to him.
And this is a side that nobody's seen before.
Yeah, it's getting-- because I've talked to you about it.
I've talked to Kim about it.
And I want to be supportive too.
I know you do.
Because I think what we don't want is people piling on,
because he is in a very vulnerable state right now,
I think.
And I think he needs help.
And I think you can say we want to be there for him.
But I just feel like it's got to be really tough for you
and for Kim, for everyone.
Because it's your family.
And you've got so much going on anyway,
but then now you have to worry about that.
It's a lot, you know?
And it's like, Kim always says, I really
can't control what somebody else does.
And I feel the same way.
It's really hard when--
you all know if you have kids, and they
might have a totally different opinion about something,
or a different view about something.
And his are very strong.
He's very opinionated, and he has a big voice.
And he has a lot to say.
Yeah, and he has access to the (LAUGHING) White House,
you know?
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, I don't.
And their kids don't.
So that's the thing.
[LAUGHTER]
Their kids might stay out after curfew or whatever,
but he's at the White House, or he's at TMZ.
And it's like--
I know that that's got to be tough,
and I don't want to go on.
But I just love him.
I really love him.
I do too.
And he's got--
He's my kid.
He's crazy talented, and he's a good guy.
