he said, "this past week, kanye west called me to have dinner at mar-a-lago. shortly thereafter, he unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends, whom i knew nothing about. we had dinner on tuesday evening with many members present on the back patio. the dinner was quick and uneventful. they then left for the airport." and i guess that didn't quite stick, so he posted message #2. "ye, formerly known as kanye west, was asking me for advice concerning some of his difficulties, in particular having to do with his business. we also discussed, to a lesser extent, politics, where i told him he should definitely not run for president, 'any voters you may have should vote for trump.' anyway, we got along great, he expressed no anti-semitism." oh, that's good. that's a step in the right direction. "and i appreciated all of the nice things he said about me on 'tucker carlson.' why wouldn't i agree to meet? also, i didn't know nick fuentes." and then, i guess that didn't work either. so then he shifted into mother teresa mode.

what about kanye west, he knew kanye west was coming and kanye west has made any anti-semitic outburstsw weeks ago. >> yeah. i think kanye west sounds a like like lou faircan and president trump, i think he wouldn't have met with either one of them frankly. but if we're going to talk about main streaming of anti-semitism we have to be fair. if we're going to make trump repudiate kanye or a side kick. we have to look at anti-semitism in the halls of congress from rashida talib to aoc. >> they're not president of the united states. >> we have to look at the -- >> sir, they're not the president of the united states. he's the former president of the united states. this is not what aboutism. he met with an anti-semite. so can we stick to the former president and not do what aboutism. we can talk about those other people when there are issues, but there aren't issues right now. don't you think the former president, considering what is happening, the investigation at mar-a-lago, the documents, the types of people who might have access to classified documents, beyond the anti-semitism, you don'

he new kanye, what kanye said, the anti-semitic remarks.at fuentes stands for and has said and yet nothing. what does the silence tell you? >> it's not something new. we know trump is incapable of condemning people who praise him. we've seen this over and over again since 2016. that in practice means he launders his most ugly ly sycophants. he won't say i disagree with them. he sort of things, a, he needs them and, b, condemning people on your team, even if they're bad people, is a sucker's game. that's something he never wants to be playing with. some of his supporters like that because he never backs down. >> i always learned as a child you are who you surround yourself with. that was a lesson to me as a child. he is surrounding himself with these people -- the "wall street journal" editorial board says, what is worse, that mr. trump hasn't admitted his mistake in hosting the men or distancing himself from the odious views of mr. fuentes, instead portrays himself as an innocent who was taken advantage of by mr. west. >> at what point afte

also, the fact that trump got so mad at kanye just shows you where his priorities are. he has no problem posting a guy that wants to go def con 3 on the jews or the holocaust denier but if you ever suggest you should be number two on someone's ticket, he's like "you disgust me, sir. talk like that has no place in america, we don't talk about that in this country." i get where trump is coming from, kanye is asking trump to be his mike pence and trump is like, ew, i could never be mike pence, i have sex with my eyes open. that's it for the news. but before we go to the break, let's check in with the stock market with our finance expert michael kosta!

trump had planned toee meet wit kanye west for a few weeks now for dinner. once be it became clear that trump didn't only just have dinner with kanye west, who i will add, only recently was allowed back on twitter for his own anti-semitic remarks, he also was joined with nick fuentes and a former political adviser of his at the club. trump is trying to say that he didn't know who fuentes was, that he was just a guest of kanye o west but what had reall been remarkable and lacking in some of the statements that trump has made about this whole episode is that he hasn't, as you noted, called out hate speech or the bigotry that fuentes isbi known for espousin >> i think for so many republicans, it's another distraction they don'the want o need but trump remains the biggest voice in the party. politico's meredith mcgraw. thanks for starting the show with us. >>> still ahead on "way too early," former vice president mike pence has refused to testify to the january 6th committee, but is he willing to speak to the justice department about the events surrounding the 2

kanye west is back on twitter to. last night kanye posted the word "shalom" with a smiley face.ell, he may be back on twitter, but he is still extremely banned from j-date. okay? kanye also may have announced he's running for president. he showed off merchandise with a "ye24" logo. i'm not sure if 24 is for 2024, or if it's the number of votes he would get if he actually ran for president. between trump and kanye coming back, it's like elon musk did a reverse exorcism on us. it's like polio and measles returning at the same time. speaking of comebacks, the big story in hollywood today involves our parent company, disney. our former boss has returned. it's a little bit confusing. but basically, our former ceo at disney was a guy named bob iger. old bob. two years ago, old bob decided to retire. so, he picked a new bob to replace him. bob chapek. but last night, out of nowhere, the board of directors fired new bob and convinced old bob to come back. which means new bob is now old bob, and old bob is the new new bob. it's the same thing that happened with coca-cola when they switch

kanye was on the list. the three others weren't. at the dinner, things got heated as you described earlier when kanye west decided to troll the troll and tell donald trump that he should be his running mate. that made trump rather angry. from what we understand, nick fuentes did impressive donald trump, they didn't discuss anti-semitism, racism or the like. instead fuentes laid it on kind of thick and praised donald trump as his hero. said he loved donald trump, but he thought donald trump was erring and too much now a product of the establishment, and so this kanye faction allegedly showed up with the idea that they wanted to bring donald trump back to the donald trump of 2016. not the plastic donald trump of the establishment that they say he's now become. so it was a really sort of bizarre dinner. probably one of those things all of us wish we could have witnessed in some way, shape or form, and eventually ended as you noted with donald trump sort of yelling at kanye west and nick fuentes saying you're a smart guy, you're working

he knew kanye west was but he did not know who went as was yesterday. i think the administration got an indication that it will be different. >> how so? >> i invited the president to go to the board with me. he asked me about the border so i told him about my current trip. just in el paso, in one overhang of a freeway, 70,000 people have come across in the last several weeks. if we would send people back to the country they came from, the border agents would tell you you stop the coming. the border agents are cut short but there is not enough of them. they are sitting there and working the job as processing. i explained to the present what i saw. we can see the videos of these cartels shooting tracers at our national guard. her feet were cut off and put on fire. the cartels controlling as you watch them across. but i also spent what is happening when it comes to fentanyl. it is not just any city. every city today is now border city. you affinity with bakersfield now and all of junior high, junior high, the age of 13, he brought 150 fentanyl goes to scho

so he knew kanye west was but he did know flint is, yes.

[ laughter ] he also claims that the irs put a $75 million hold on his bank accounts, and they're trying to put him in prison. but even if they do, he says he will still run for president. man, how great would it be to have kanye and trump running against each other from prison?

former president trump hosting kanye west -- or ye.nick fuentes, a holocaust denier. what is happening here? we know that the former president likes to surround himself with anybody who likes him, but to suggest to have no idea who fuentes is, he clearly knows what ye has said over the last couple of months, what do you see happening with this dinner? >> the former president has repeatedly said that he doesn't know people when he does know them, when there has been photographic evidence of him with people, with extremists and nick fuentes is an extremist who's labeled a white supremacist by the justice department, and to me, victor, look. what we're seeing is the president continue to surround himself with yes people, to continue to surround himself with people who push anti-semitism, push racism, and push white supremacy and white nationalist ideologies. that is not something new for the president. it's something he did when he was in offices and it's something he's continued to do since he's been out of office. now the question is wh

jamar, who apparently flew -- kanye west flew coach from los angeles to miami. wanted to fly spirit but flew united. but anyway. they show up, this motley crue. the discussion, among the many things that unfolded, is kanye west and nick fuentes saying you lost your way. you're not the 2016 trump that you were before. that feeds his paranoia and certainly will start to unsettle him. one thing that did make him angry is kanye west told trump, hey, i'm going to run for president. you should be my running mate. didn't go over well. >>> who is this fuentes character? >> if you pay attention to any anti-hate group they say he's a height nationalist, racist, bigot, anti-semite and holocaust denier. he said no, i'm not, they're just joking. according to trump, he didn't know who fuentes was. it sounds a little bit like a setup like they brought him in part to show trump how he lost his way. like this is really the base. these are the kind of voters you're losing. not sure he minds losing them. >> "the wall street journal" editorial board pulled no punching saying donald

think kanye west should -- i don't think those are right comments. i don't think he should associate with him. i'm very clear in my position. let me walk through on ukraine. i think that's a legitimate question. i remember coming here in 2015 after coming back from ukraine. i remember sitting in the situation room meeting with then vice president joe biden advocating we sell javelins, a defensive weapon, to stop tanks from russia from coming in. unfortunately, i wasn't successful that day. i brought a bipartisan group in. i think what putin in russia is wrong. actions we could have taken ahead of time probably would have made sure they never entered. i'm not for a blank check for anything. this is hard working taxpayer money. i want to make sure whatever funding we spend goes to the right places. unfortunately, under the current majority of democrats, full body control, what they put on the floor last time they never gave members an opportunity to even have input. you voted on a fly-in day. $40 billion. now they want to come back and ask for more. i

and take kanye west with a grain of salt.ut there saying that he was very impressed with his views. and, outside of all of that, he has one of these things. he could get on truth social right now and condemn nick fuentes. instead, he's really just downplaying this dinner. >> i should correct myself. it wasn't an apology. it was some sort of explanation that the former president doesn't really apologize. andrew, in terms of the danger here, how worrying is it, do you think, that the former president is really elevating parteople l this? especially when the threat of domestic violent extremism is so high? >> it's a great question. i think you have to go back a little bit to understand that for decades in this country, people who held and espoused the sorts of views that nick fuentes does kind of exist in a nonexistent political backwater. you couldn't go out publicly and say these sorts of things. i mean, you could, you have the right to do that. but you're pretty quickly denounced. the reason they're so prominent now is becaus

and that, kanye, is how you buy yourself some time. >> that is how we began it. was focusing fond at the notion of what i need to say, albeit disingenuously, to get away with whatever else comes next. it is almost observers. people obviously making statements that are antisemitic, bigoted, discriminatory in virality of ways, but i want you to apologize. i apologize, and the bell not being on wrong. he is commenting a little on that notion of cancel culture and the way that one buys time around. it what do you think of it? >> i think is monologue was everything i expected it to be. i think chappelle is a brilliant comedian, i think there are so many other ways that he could have brought a comedy towards kanye and kyrie that did not require making fun of the jewish community, just like i think there are ways to, well the trans stuff that he does i think it's disgusting, but the fact that i do think the pointed thing he did with the apology was a strong critique of where weith authenticity in our country and how -- that i thought was really smart. we allow people to

in a post, kanye west blames a jewish man for all of his problems, saying that he lost his business, contracts, after aryan manual published an op-ed piece calling on businesses to drop their associations with kanye west, after kanye west threatened people with death, in a tweet which got him suspended from twitter. of course, the man who would have assassinated nancy pelosi is a man of conyers antisemitism, and is an antisemite himself. we don't know how many violent attacks on jewish people kanye west might inspire, but we do know what republican attacks on the truth and republican attacks, specifically on nancy pelosi have inspired. they gave us, the where's nancy mob of january 6th, and they gave us the january 6th would be as vaccination. that was that the speaker's home in san francisco. leading off our discussion tonight, it's claire mccaskill, former democratic senator of missouri. also with us henry weizmann, former fbi general counsel, and former chief of the criminal division of the eastern division of new york. he's the director of practice at nyu high law school. and edd

. >> kanye west -- >> i think kanye west, i don't think those are right comments and i don't think hewith him as well. i'm very clear on my position. >> mccarthy joined a small but growing list of republicans who are speaking out about trump's meeting with fuentes and the rapper known as kanye west. >> president trump was wrong to give a white nationalist an anti-semite and holocaust denier a seat at the table. >> i think it's disgusting to invite people like that to meet with a former president of the united states. >> he should condemn any those kinds of things that anybody can stand for, no matter who they are. >> joining us to discuss this and so much more former senator scott brown and adviser to mike pence olivia troy. great to see both of you. olivia a slightly different tactic than the political one, to start, because obviously you should denounce this. i don't understand what's so hard, or what takes people so many days to come around to that, but i want to take with you your wheelhouse, a national security tact. how can the former president of the united states not know who

is it true that kanye west has this ripple effect?that he has said, he is lighting the spark of this obviously it's predated him and all of the horrible violence that we've seen in the mass shootings. but what is the effect of kanye putting out something to all of his millions of followers? >> i don't think that we could minimize the ripple effects that have come from this incident. this has come from using the global platform to spread that hateful ideology. i do think it has tangible effects. but we should also say, that comes alongside a growth of antisemitic language that we have seen across the. board that's been echoed even by the former president, donald trump. that's been echoed by mainstream political figures on the right and left. and i think that that is really what we're seeing cause some of this real growth. for the reporting that we do we talk to conservatives who have used the language of sorrows and elite and globalist so much. even in their language of how they express what they see is happening in the country, right.

and he did know he was having dinner with kanye west and kanye west has been openly anti-semitic over last couple weeks. my last point here, ben shapiro who is probably not often quoted on this network or many networks as saying something that a lot of people will agree with, he said the best way to not have a dinner with an anti-semite you don't know is to not have a dinner with an anti-semite you do know. i thought that was a useful point. >> it was a good tweet but it goes in the category, claire mccaskill of how bad is it? it's so bad that that that guy attacked you. >> yeah. i mean, there is a deafening chorus of silence in the face of evil in the republican party and it is speaking very, very loudly right now. you know, i'd like to bring up an organization that i think ought to get involved right now. most americans don't know what apac is. apac is a very powerful jewish organization that gives millions of dollars to incumbent u.s. senators and incumbent members of congress who have cast favorable votes helping israel. they have been bipartisan in the past, favoring incumbents.

last week the ex president hosted -- and kanye west at the florida home.id, quote, he was taken with frank and impressed with his ability to rattle of statistics and speeches from trump's 2016 campaign. once word got out of the dinner, the backlash sent trump reeling. one long time trying to advise recall the situation a, quote, nightmare. they told nbc news, quote, they are looking at ron desantis to run against trump. here is another reason why. now trump is trying to distance himself from palantir, is saying that he did not know the 24-year-old was going to be at the dinner and had no idea who was. this, despite the fact that he has been a feature player in right-wing circles for a while, pulling arroyo with maga republicans, and georgia's marjorie taylor greene. well last week both we members of congress -- and event organized fuentes by himself, where he took the stage to spout ideas like this. >> our secret sauce here is these young white men. we that's what we call the secret ingredient. america and the world has forgotten about them, but not us. we

. >>> former president trump and the backlash, after having dinner with both kanye west, condemned for anti-semitic remarks, and with a known white supremacist who was in charlottesville. jonathan karl tonight. >>> the horrific scene in california. the family killed, the home set on fire. and tonight, a former trooper is accused of traveling across-country to get to that home to pick up their young daughter, who he allegedly met online. >>> the remarkable rescue. the plane crashing into power lines and dangling for hours. they spent more than seven hours trying to get the pilot, the passenger, and the plane out of those lines. >>> in houston tonight, more than 2 million without water, under a boil water alert. schools closed again tomorrow, so, what's behind this? >>> comedian jay leno back on stage and the jokes tonight at his own expense, after the fire in his garage. you'll hear the jokes. >>> and our made in america christmas is back. 11 years and running. tonight, the one thing many of you bought and grew. and how they're looking tonight. >>> good evening and it's great to be back

kanye west tweet is not a crime. we do have a broad first amendment and there is nothing new with anti-semitism and racism they go back centuries but it is so alarming to me is how little it takes to spark this. one high-profile person sets off one crazy tweet that is alarming. >> is it true that he has this ripple effect? the stuff he has said, obviously these things predated him, the violence and mass shootings but what is the effect of kanye putting something out? >> i don't think we can minimize the ripple effect someone is using their platform to spread hateful ideology. and that goes alongside a growth of anti-semitic language across the board that is even echoed by mainstream political figures right and left and that is what we are seeing, some of this growth for the reporting we do, we talk to grassroots conservative who use the language of elites and globalists so much even in their language of how they express what they see happening in the country. that overlaps with dehumanizing anti-semitic language so a

this notorious white supremacist, nick fuentes, brought there by victoria -- opera singer, kanye west, now known as ye. donald trump saying over and over again -- nobody buys that. now donald trump's stance on truth social, i help a seriously troubled man who happens to be black? yay, kanye west, who has been decimated in this business -- he has been good to me by allowing his request for a meeting at mar-a-lago alone so i can give him very much needed, quote, advice. what do you make of this, rev? >> well, and there are a couple of things that just does not make sense. if he was meeting with a troubled man to do what? i don't understand how he has become a therapist, all of a sudden, or a counselor. if you thought he was troubled. and what was he helping him in what way? the other thing that doesn't pass the smell test for me, i've met with former presidents from bill clinton to bronco boma when they were out of office. they still have a secret service and that are -- they still have a smaller but contingent who usually has to be informed or who they are having dinner with. who's com

ugst wk, we learned the former president had dinner at mar-a-lago with kanye west.e know that the dinner also included ( audience booing ) holocaust denier nick fuentes. ( audience booing ) i can't imagine having dinner with someone so disgusting. and you have no idea which of those three guys i'm talking about. ( laughter ) ( applause ) now-- ( cheers and applause ) getting there. starting the car. now, just in case "holocaust denier" doesn't get the point across, fuentes is not a good guy. he has spread anti-semitic conspiracies, is considered a white supremacist by the charlottesville in 2017 and the "stop the steal" rally on january 6. that is the alt-right "egot," as in, "'egot zero hugs as a child." ( laughter ) now, this dinner was a multi-course tasting menu of crazy. but we don't know exactly what happened, because it's become a real "he said, ye said." ( laughter ) for instance, kanye plans to run for president again, and after the meal, he claimed,"i te ex-president was most perturbed about, me asking him to be my vice president." ( laughter ) ( applause

on tuesday, trump posted kanye, formerly known as kanye west, and a white supremacist nick -- for dinner nbc news, it has been a quote death nightmare. in the statement, friday trump called the dinner quote, an eventful. trump must have different definitions of that word, let's take a closer look at that guest lists. kanye west is currently losing billions of dollars in brand deals for his recent antisemitic comments on social media, and -- is a white supremacist holocaust denier who attended the unite the right rally in charlottesville. he openly uses his platform to spew hate speech, and shout about the american population becoming less white. despite his high profile on the far-right, including ties to marjorie taylor greene, trump denied knowing who he is. this, despite the fact that -- there's a verified user of trump's own social media platform truth social. kanye shared his own dignity brief on twitter. take a listen. >> so trump is really impressed with nick, nick unlike so many of the lawyer so many of the people who was left with on his 2020 campaign, he's actually loyalist. he

i wouldn't take a meeting with kanye west, either. but that is my opinion. >> no, i mentioned this moment ago, trump is not the only gop lawmaker fuentes has met with. is this just an issue of bad judgment? comments like homers suffice for you? >> no, this is deeper than bad judgment. he should say that he condemns it and he needs to make sure that he says that very clearly. and that that is wrong. and that it is more than badge -- this is who donald trump, is he was president, we saw his policies, we know what he said during his campaign. and the country, i think, is really beginning to understand this deeper level. but again, democrats have to move on and i think what is gonna happen is more people are gonna dissociate them selves from donald trump in terms of supporting him for president. and i think that the country is coming to really understand that even those who supported him the first time around are beginning to understand that this is a dangerous man and he is filled with hate. >> we will see about that, the republican dram

yeah so let's keep kanye away from . yeah, but keep kanye away from.en of course , kanye west and then of course, kanye west has coming out with more has been coming out with more more stuff . and in more anti semitic stuff. and in these interviews, it's not like he's this isn't him he's were and this isn't him just oh, it's i'm just going, oh, it's over. i'm i'm no, he seems to have a genuine beef mean it is these these he's speaking straight they didn't test our understanding of speech we all seem to think well we love we like free speech and there's always something makes us go, yeah, but i think it's interesting. i mean, even is not allowing alex jones back on because he recalls the sandy hook being the pale hook outrage as being the pale in a way . so i hook outrage as being the pale in a way. so i don't hook outrage as being the pale in a way . so i don't know. hook outrage as being the pale in a way. so i don't know. yeah. and khamenei he's on twitter is he's going to racism as a matter of soldiers. yes. in the mail now a psychologist reveals th
