i do appreciate donald trump extending a warm welcome to our families with reform to bring alice johnson home, but as amy stated, there are a whole are more people in there. i am one of the people who stayed in a closet for a long time. being a convicted felon to me was an embarrassment. i have been home for 17 and a half years. i have two girls in college. one is pursuing medicine and biology, she wants to be a doctor. so they definitely have taken a different path in life because of the choices i have made. what i want to say is in this system of reform, we have to really dig down. there are people in prison who like all of you beautiful people in this room, and i say that with everything in my heart. when i walk through those prison doors, i thought i was a rare case. when i got in there, the numbers were overwhelming with women like myself. you have your baby, they take your baby, you lose your baby to the system. i was very fortunate. i was a candidate of a program nursingothers, infants, together. a different situation than angela, i was able to keep her for six months, take her ho

the left over his willingness to reach out to trump who has reached out to kania by partnering alice johnsonand now wants to reach out more with criminal justice reform. just listen to the chairwoman donna purcell who tweeted that kanye had set black americans back 155 years all the way back to 1863 when slavery was still in force. yes, black man visiting the white house to express his own perspective setbacks back to his own. it gets worse. here's don lemon invoking kanye dead mom in order to shame him. >> this was an embarrassment. kanye mother is rolling over in her grave. >> check out the panel from cnn in which they slammed kanye is mentally ill and ignorant. >> kanye west is what happens when negroes don't read. and we have this now and donald trump will use it and pervert it. he'll have someone who can stand with him and take pictures. >> that there is blatant racism. kanye isn't legitimately black because of his opinion. this is identity politics at its finest. kanye can't think differently because he's of a particular race. this fits into a broader view that america's now debated be

probably know, is married to kim kardashian west, who successfully urged president trump to pardon alice johnson african-american woman serving time in a drug-related case. >>> people along the gulf coast bracing for hurricane michael, which was upgraded to a category 2 storm an hour and a half ago. michael is expected to make landfall tomorrow, possibly as a destructive category 3 storm. florida's governor has declared a state of emergency for 26 counties. people are boarding up their homes, filling sandbags and planning for evacuation routes away from the storm's projected strike zone. more than 1200 national guardsmen have been activated. mike? >> you're never more than seven minutes away from my accuweather forecast. category 2, moving to the north-northwest at 112 miles an hour. it's still away from panama city, which will get hit hardest as it rolls through tomorrow morning with 120-mile-per-hour wind. then heads up around macon, georgia, thursday morning and then those affected by florence thursday night. the storm surge will be the biggest issue. here's a look at our temperatures. 2 to 1

families but the fact that she went in with a list of people she wanted to have pardon, including alice johnsonked and we are having a conversation, a legitimate conversation about criminal justice reform, i think it's fantastic. you wouldn't have expected that out of this administration, and certainly not one that named jeff sessions attorney general. i'm hopeful about that. i think the whole thing might be a giant control and performance piece. i don't doubt that he has respect for the president. the president makes people mad every day but changes his tone and uses unproductive debility in a way that kanye does kanye said he challenged himself to wear that red hat on "snl" to overcome his fears which i think is very amusing. >> juan: to me, this is a photo off. we have been through this before. i worry there is no agenda. his agenda as we know so far is mr. president, you should talk to colin kaepernick -- >> greg: that's a good plan. >> juan: it's the craziest thing. this is -- if he was really going to do something, let's come up with that substantive agenda. in fact i think what we see is

she, of course, was able to convince him to give clechl lemo alice johnson. what we heard kanye west talk about today was a man named larry hoover in a super max for a 150-200 year murder sentence. what do you make of that? >> for people who may not be aware that larry hoover is the leader of one of the most deadly gangs on the south side. viewers will recall the rick ross lyrics. larry hoover has been incarcerated for decades in this point and in the 90s and 2000s began doing community work and creating political action organizations to gain political power even behind bars in chicago and at the time then received additional charges with prosecutors alleging that he was still running the drug trade, even from behind bars. he's become a bit of a cause celeb. some in chicago saying he was attempting to be a positive influence in chicago. at the end of the day, he's been convicted of murder and the founder of an extremely violent gang. can i remember and recall the controversies when the president invited in a relatively uncontroversial rapper to read poetry at

. >> alice johnson. >> freed. >> okay. she got salemsy, clemency.as if kanye west can have a real effect. this was probably not the way to have an effect because it took away from the very real issues that people are working in a really robust way, in a bipartisan way in washington to deal with. >> it's less than four weeks until the mid-term elections. >> yes. >> the president clearly believes a meeting like this will help get some african-american support for republicans. >> no, no. there was a lot -- there's jeffrey laughing again. >> jeffrey toobin if you say fly again, i don't think i can handle it. >> fly and fresh from jeffrey toobin, that's amazing. let me say this. yeah, with less than four weeks. we're talking about a blue tsunami, and we're also looking out for this red wave. i don't know if it's going to go to tsunami as well, because they are hearing about this blue wave, but african-americans are very upset right now with -- with how things have been happening over the last two years, but most importantly with how women have been treat

there was a conversation of kim kardashian and alice johnson who had been released from prison after a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense and kanye talked about somebody who he said was sentenced for too long. they talked a little bit about urban development in chicago and bringing jobs in. so then it went off the rails. >> wants to take this opportunity to talk about stop and frisk to the president. kanye doesn't like it. the president articulated earlier this week he does. i just wonder how much the president listened to and what his takeaway will be. kanye was talking about great companies or brands. talking about levi's. levi's has taken a stand against trump policies on gun control, on lgbtq. levi's, that's certainly not in the president pea's lane. >> i wonder what adidas is thinking about this performance. i thought all day that the conversation we might have after this meeting would be about prison reforjs sentenm, sentenc reform. that's actually an idea that attracts both people on both sides of the aisle. i thought this would be a follow up because kim kardashian w

but he was talking about prison reform and i think, you know, in the case of alice maria johnson whothis program, what a great case for prison reform. doesn't mean that you let people out without paying a price. and he is talking about jobs and talking bin vest you meant and talking about manufacturing and factories in america. and safer cities. so you, tell me why that's a problem for some people. >> those are people important to people outside the media bubble, right, sean? kanye was considered poignant and brave truth-teller in 2005 when he said george w. bush doesn't care about black people. so it's funny how that's turned. i don't remember how we goat to a place now where we have rhetoric on a national news -- nationally televised news organization where you could say the words token negro about an african-american entertainer and anchor of that program laughs along. former cnn people are speaking out about segments like that. steve crack hour was a senior digital producer at cnn and i'm quoting: this is absolutely shameful segment on don lemon's show about kanye west. if a simi

do appreciate donald trump extending a warm welcome to our family, with what reform would bring alice johnson home, but as amy stated, there is a whole lot more people in there. what really got me involved with reform, i am one of the people who stayed in the closet for a long time. being a convicted fell ton me was an embarrassment at that time. my daughter, i have been home for 17 1/2 years, i have two girls in college, one is a fashion designer, and the other one is pursuing medicine and biology. so she wants to be a doctor, so they definitely have taken a different path in life because of the choices that i made. but what i do want to say is that in this system of reform, we have to really dig down. there are people in prison that look like all of you beautiful people in this room and i say that with everything in my heart, when i walk through those prison doors, i thought i was a rare case, but when i got in there, the numbers were overwhelming, with the women that had similar stories like myself. you have your baby, you lose your baby to the system. i was very, very, very fortunate, and

got the president to pardon alice marie johnson in prison for a nonviolent drug crime serving a lifence. kanye west's visit, however, was completely jumbled. thereto was no central theme to it, nothing that he was trying to accomplish as far as initiative. the stated goal was to talk about jobs in chicago, you know, criminal justice reform, but none of that was really the focus, and you don't get the sense coming out of this that there was actually anything substantive, and frankly it just comes back to the idea that the president at the end of the day likes to promote people who likes him and that's what kanye west has been over the last several months, particularly a black person who likes him and the president is the willing to put that person up front. >> and same with jim brown, from your home state of ohio. >> jim brown, where do i start? >> i don't think celebrity endorsements really make much of a difference with the exception of, i guess, taylor swift this week. a lot of people registered to vote as a result what have she said. that said, this is also a president in his form

west, came to my house earlier this summer and was able to get the sentence commuted for alice marie johns johnsonhad taken up. were told kanye west will be meeting with the president here on thursday. i will see you then, charles. charles: finished her coffee, by then. thanks. strong words from a google executive over the kavanaugh nomination. >> strong does not cover it with white hot anger. he describes himself as google's you ask design lead and he put this out on saturday. he was angry . charles: little bit. >> he deleted it and said i should've been more eloquent and less condemning but google said their personal capacity has no bearing on the way we build or operate our products. this comes on the hill of google being accused of anti- conservative bias. charles: this google does not bypass white house. target looking like the dow jones industrial average remember yesterday was wild session, brace for another one. we'll be right back the day after chemo might mean a trip back to the doctor's office just for a shot. but why go back there... when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong c

johnson. it about nafta was very important i would characterize it slightly differently but it's something we have to keep in the back of our minds what alice said about the nonproliferation treaty and the pledge by all nuclear powers to do away with nuclear weapons is also extremely important and there's a specific reason that we don't trust in stable nuclear deterrence anymore we can't afford to first off nafta has been renegotiated it was abrogated unilaterally people said this is ridiculous nafta took decades to negotiate it will take decades more to replace it it didn't it took a few months because basically what you're dealing with in donald trump is someone that that ghost wrote you know had ghost written for him the art of the deal ok this is how he operates he's looking at changing paradigms whenever he can to get an advantage either for himself personally or in this case for the united states he's done that with nafta i believe that's what he's up to with i.n.f. i'm not worried about john bolton john bolton was at the state department for all those years that i was he's a minor character at best he said some pretty outrageous thin
