Kim Kardashian could face serious consequences -- as serious as losing custody -- for not taking ex-husband Kanye West to court if he poses a danger to his children ... so says Dr. Phil.

00:00This is something that we have not talked about out loud, but we're gonna do today
00:05So Kim Kardashian is in the middle of a really nasty
00:10custody war
00:12Ignited by Kanye West and his behavior and his behavior and it's not even so much about the anti-semitism
00:18About the racism. It's not about that. It's not about that
00:22It's not about that. Okay, it's about
00:25What he is doing when the children are around
00:29Notably what happened a week or so ago when he brought North into a studio and
00:36Had her record a song with Diddy where the Tate brothers came in and Kim
00:42Pulled North away because she said it was a safety risk. Yeah, and
00:46And she's in a position
00:49Where you know, what does she do Kanye West is off the rails right now
00:54She is declared war on her said the man makes the decision said that called the Kardashian sex traffickers
01:02He is off the rails, but legally he still has joint custody with her, right?
01:08He does indeed and now the question. What does she do?
01:13My intel is that she's
01:16resistant to go into court because if she goes to court and
01:21Asks the judge to strip him of legal and or physical custody it will trigger him and God knows what he'll do then and
01:29so
01:30Does she do nothing? Does she do that? Does she try to get supervised visitation?
01:36Good luck with a supervised visitation person saying walks in Connie. Don't do that. Yeah
01:42Yeah, good luck on that and but there's a risk of doing nothing which is something you talked about with. Dr. Phil, right?
01:48Yeah, dr. Phil is on our two angry men podcast, which just dropped today
01:53And we talked about this
01:57shockingly
01:58Kim could get in trouble for doing nothing what we do not want is for these children to wind up in foster care
02:07because that system is broken and
02:10What will happen with these kids and you think well with this kind of money, they're not gonna wind up in foster care
02:15That's wrong. If DCF gets involved and thinks one parent is not reacting and the other parent is unstable
02:22They will take them now. They're likely to put them with a family member
02:26rather than strangers, but
02:29You don't want these children hung out to dry
02:34But that's really shocking. I mean the idea that Kim Kardashian who loves these kids who's dealing with a mentally ill
02:41Ex-husband who is off the rails could actually lose custody
02:48By doing nothing even though she loves them. That's breathtaking
02:52That is absolutely a possibility and there's this isn't even a close call
02:58That she could lose custody of these children. I I've not met Kanye. I've certainly not evaluated him
03:04I cannot render an opinion on what his pathology is or is not
03:09But the behavior that is observable is
03:14Troubling really shocking
03:17Look, she Kim loves these kids and she is the
03:22primary caregiver is a an understatement she is
03:2899% with these kids all the time Kanye does not see these kids much at all
03:33But when he does there are issues and he could do it just to annoy her
03:38or anger her and
03:41now what Phil is saying is
03:44That if you have a parent who is doing something dangerous and the other parent doesn't react to it
03:52then both parents are
03:54In jeopardy, which is stunning. It is stunning. Although it makes it a very easy call for Kim
04:00She has to do what's in the best interest of those children regardless of the impact it has on Kanye
04:04you're right that Kanye is volatile her making legal maneuvers to get full custody of the kids could set him off and send him on a
04:11Downward spiral where he goes absolutely insane on social media and maybe even makes the situation more dangerous, but she has to do it
04:17It's not something that's a close call where she sort of is making a judgment call
04:21She simply has to do it
04:22You wonder like what must go through her head not only when she sees some of the statements that he makes
04:28About Jews and black people and the outfits that his
04:33Wife would wear all the rest of this and then to think about her kids in that space
04:38Does she think to herself? What did I do? Yeah, I mean she's got to think that you know
04:42And and it's funny you say that because we talked about this on the podcast
04:46and I raised the issue, you know, could a
04:50Family law judge strip him of custody because he's racist because he's anti-semitic and the answer is pretty clearly
04:58no, there are a lot of
05:00racists and anti-semites who have kids and
05:03You can't
05:05Yank a kid from cuss your custody because of your views you can do it
05:11If it creates some kind of a danger and according to your reporting
05:16North at least really loves Kanye. She does she does and she wants to be a rapper and
05:23he is giving her a platform and a microphone and
05:27Look, I mean, you know, he agreed not to release that song when Kim complained and
05:35Two days later. He said screw it and then he came out with a statement. The man makes the final decision
05:40hmm, I I feel for her and and she is this is I mean this would be the dictionary definition of
05:49Rocking a hard place. Yeah, I mean
05:51What does she do because if she goes to court and she says I want to strip him of custody
05:57there will be an explosion and
05:59That's what she's dealing. Why is that her fault? This is the hard. It's not her fault. It's like how does she react right?
06:06Hi, I'm Cory from Massachusetts
06:08And you know, this is all just really sad to see and at this point
06:13My main concern is just about the kids
06:15We all know there's probably more details all around that we're not privy to
06:19So I'm just worried about the kids really what do you do? I mean if you were Kim, what would you do? I
06:26Really don't know pray the system helps her out
06:30No, that's how praying gonna do nothing. Yeah, and the system unfortunately has not helped a lot of people out over the years
06:37No, I mean if this is
06:39It's one of those impossible situations
