Kanye West With Trump Makes History At White House Drops Profanity-Laced Announcement
Kanye West and the Oval Office watch the entire country and give opportunities a
lot of times it's just the overall lack of reparations that we at any given
point we say oh this is races this is races this is race this is races so we
don't have a reparations but we have in 13th of May we gotta open up the whole
conversation so and that's a move one of the moves that I love that liberals
tried to do the liberal will try to control a black person through the
concept of racism because they know that we are very proud of emotional people so
when I said I like Trump to like someone that's liberal they'll say oh but these
races you think races okay control me I will stop an invisible wall you have one
question we don't go to another question I answered this question I don't answer
question it's a simple assignment soundbite you you are tasting a fine
wine I have multiple notes into it you gotta play 40 chess with me like a
Minority Report region ain't that simple
Chicago's on time so I would like to know what you would like to ask
President Trump to to force the club over here to talk about the thing that
that the head of the police and Mike Sachs met with me last night at the Soho
House about was we feel that stop and frisk does not help the relationships in
the city and everyone that knew I was coming here said asked about stop and
frisk that's that's that's a the number one thing that we're having this
conversation about another thing is opening up industries and we've got to
get some tax breaks too because you know we're making a we got a speed Factory in
Atlanta but the shoes are costing us $300 so it's costing us - too much to
make things so we need some prototypes here so we can get people back working
so China kid just beat us and Vietnam can't beat us get Levi's the greatest
jeans company in the world making their jeans in and Vietnam so we're going to
need to get a few breaks to be able to have some places in my hometown of
Chicago and 2.7 million to the 9 million surrounding suburbs where we can create
some factories that I think it'll be cool for them to be Trump factories
because he's a master of industry he's a builder and I think it'd be cool to have
easy ideation centers which would be a mix of education that empowers people
and gives them modern information like sometimes people say this can't have a
DG this could have a DD you know II think school is boring it was born it's
not as exciting is this we have to make it you don't have ATT school is boring
it was boring that is exciting is this we have to make it more excited we have
to mix curriculums just play basketball while you're doing math you you learn
about music while you meditate in the morning we have to in state mental
health and art programs back into the back to the city so those are and also
Larry Hoover is an example of a man that was turning his life around and as soon
as he tried to turn his life around they hit him with six life sentences so
I believe he's Rick you stay don't tear down the statues Larry Hoover is a
living statue he's a beacon for us that needs to see
his family needs to go out and represent when you
have a block leader on every single block they can own the block is now
that's something I learned from Jim Brown from a mayor I can we need to put
curriculums but people who really came from the streets not people who are just
trying to set us up to go into a work system or prison system that applies to
what people are really going through which Jim Brown has created the problem
is unbelievable goods illegal guns is the problem not not not legal guns we
have the right to bear arms president Trump has said that he favors stop and
frisk are you guys gonna be discussing that do
you think even changed yet with that we're gonna discuss I didn't mean to put
you on my ass like that bro could speak for me anytime he wants he's been a
great guy smart cookie smart he gets it he's two guys Jim Brown he's been doing
this for a long time could very well be
good and the thing is let's stop worrying about the future all we really
have is today we just have today over and over and over again the eternal
returns of the hero's journey but best believe we are going to make America
great now the thing is my another thing is black people have an issue with the
word again and I believe my feelings from that is because I'm so sorry I
don't go all the way signal it because time is a minute all we have is now all
we have is today so the word again is it Curtis because I give racism and say
there's a difference it it hurts us because we need to focus on who we are
now today I believe so I actually brought some hats in that have a bit of
a transition of it that trumpets I love it
I made a hat up that says make America great just that but I would love to see
at the Super Bowl Trump wearing the big America great hat Colin
making win make America great and showing that we
can benefit on this side we can benefit on this side and we can learn how to be
malleable in the infinite universe that we are in the loving beings that we are
that we don't have to stick to all traditions and we are a side we are one
unit we are one country where one moment in history inside you might have been
here before but right now we've been together the greatest value that people
have of other people and we can stop working on bread it looks like a gang
again thank you this question you're in the Oval Office
okay how does it feel to be in the Oval Office oh it is good energy in there is
a good energy it's a great place Jim how do you feel you're so respected and what
Kanye is doing has been incredible all over the world they're talking about
this and I have to tell you had important meetings today with senators
and with everything nobody cared they wanted this meeting this is the meeting
is that right I can say that the job no the others were good right but this is
what they want well it's my honor Jim I want to tell you I've been a fan of
yours for a long time long time nobody like you nobody like you no athlete like
you well and you know that's always been the way Jim has been a long time and he
just wanted to help and it's it's something special Jennifer did you have
a question well we're gonna look at it up I'm open to everything I look I think
it's a shame what's happening in Chicago I'm in Chicago a lot too I have nice
things in Chicago you know that right and I hate to see what's happening there
having numbers the numbers of people being shot and killed and it's it's not
it's not for this country so they have to do something and I am totally open if
we can do it a different way Kayne I'm totally open
but they have to do I mean we all agree they have to do something that's well
maybe it's a combination of both yeah I guess it is but I think it's probably a
combination of both and it's also a respect issue they respect this guy they
respect this guy that's a big thing right now they're not respecting let's
say you're mayor or let's say your leadership in Chicago but certainly it
shouldn't be happening what's going on there should not be happening Steve
honestly from our standpoint this was just set up to be a lunch of two people
that I like and I guess they like me and we're gonna have lunch we're gonna talk
I don't want to put you in that spot standing in that's why I love this guy
right here let me get this guy I love this guy right here yeah yes it's
really good and that's from the heart I didn't want to put you in that position
that's from the heart special guy these two are special people whether you
like it or the adult like it they're special people and I appreciate it Jim
Connie I appreciate it so let's go have some lunch okay thank
you all very much they talk scared to not wear this hat my
old friends but this hat it gives you it gives me power away
I love Hillary I love everyone right but the campaign I'm with her just didn't
make me know that the guy they didn't get to see my dad all the time like a
guy that could play catch with his son it was something about when I put this
hat off and make me feel like Superman you made a Superman I wasn't that's my
favorite superhero and you made a Superman cape that was quite something
Lois quit show some love this guy right here let me get this guy
I love this guy right here that was quite something the words of President
Trump in the Oval Office today Kanye West expressing his support among other
things and that's where we'll start with our panel
Josh cross cross cross our political editor for the National Journal Amy
Walter national editor for the cook political reported by Hemingway senior
editor at The Federalist couldn't get it out there Josh
that was something today too in the words of President Trump what does that
do I mean it was a surreal moment on TV we hadn't seen anything like that in the
Oval Office what do you think it does for president Trump or the election in
any way it certainly was a surreal moment and President Trump loves
celebrity yeah Mike love of the Beach Boys he had a few other celebrities in
the White House today but you know it reminded me that this could be a lost
opportunity for for president Trump if he focused on criminal justice reform
which is why Kanye West was at the White House in the first place that could have
been an opportunity opportunity early on in his presidency to expand his
coalition to win over some African Americans to the Trump side I mean it
really was sort of an amazing moment where you had one of the most famous
African American celebrities really just hugging a president Trump but it feels
like it's a little late in the game for that and it doesn't feel like this came
at the right time for this president there's certainly some opportunity was
we get closer to the midterms for Trump to build some new supporters but I don't
think he's gonna really move the needle a whole lot politically Molly it was
interesting when he just said there something about putting on the hat gives
him power and I think there is something in our culture where there's a lot of
criticism of being a conservative a ton of criticism for being a Trump supporter
but if you can withstand that criticism there is something empowering about it
and I think that what's interesting yeah Kanye's interesting he's always
interesting he says things in a weird way certainly but I think the reason why
you're seeing so much negative reaction is because of some of the things that
Josh is raising you have a very prominent black celebrity aligning
himself with the president and there is something very threatening about that
not just in terms of celebrity but also in race issues and you're seeing a lot
of polls where you have like tons of Hispanics supporting Ted Cruz tons of
Hispanics supporting Dean Heller Donald Trump himself got more black votes than
Mitt Romney there's something that people feel very nervous
about when people do not play the parts they're supposed to to that point some
other commentators weighing in on what was going to happen today with Kanye
West Kanye West is what happens when Negroes don't read now all of a sudden
Kanye because he's put on a magic hat and he's an attention whore like the
president he's all of a sudden now the the model spokesperson he's the token
negro of the of the Trump administration
will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because
they know that we are very proud of emotional people so when I said I like
Trump to like someone that's liberal they'll say oh but these races you think
racism can control me I mean it's such an explosive thing to talk about but Amy
how does this play I just think we are back where we've always been in the
discussion of to America is in a polarized America and that's really
where a lot of this discussion I agree with Josh it didn't really spend a whole
bunch of time talking about the issues that we thought we're gonna get raised
Kim Kardashian and his wife of course came in and actually talked about issues
related to criminal justice reform instead this becomes about which team
are you on are you gonna be on the red magnet cat team or are you gonna be on
the other team and the entire Trump presidency has been basically
about picking your side picking your team and for Kanye to put the red hat on
then he literally is saying I'm going against my team and there's a backlash
to that in the same way that Republicans who have said or people who were
normally red going to the blue team they get the criticism for doing that there
is nothing left there is no middle there's not going to be a middle and
this election is just going to I think further get us into these deep deep deep
polar polarized world we've been talking about tribalism for a while but I mean
earlier this morning Donald Trump called into Fox & Friends and he had a lengthy
conversation about criminal justice reform and he was referencing Kanye's
appearances well and it was because of Chania coming to visit Kim came to the
came to the Oval Office and it's kind of like you're thinking what are these
celebrity doing there she actually was very
effective at commuting at getting that sentence commuted but these are
conversations that people are having now and it's good to see them on the right
because criminal justice reform has been something that previously people just on
the Left seem to talk about a lot you're seeing a lot of really good developments
in terms of questions about mandatory minimums and and how we how we
adjudicate various cases and this is happening because he gets because of
these well the biggest impediment to this actually is sitting in his cabinet
and that's Jeff Sessions Republicans want to pass this they have the votes in
the Senate to pass this who may not be for long after general is the real
reason why a lot of this stuff isn't getting done
I want to thank you god bless you and God bless america
