( laughter ) ( applause ) "two black people arguing in the office right now." you know, normally, i wouldn't really care what kanye west said about slavery or black history, but what does suck is that now every member of the tiki torch club out there is going to use kanye's words to justify their hate. basically, the way kanye samples old-school soul music is how racists are going to sample him now. they'll be like

kanye west has been really volcano will in support of president trump and free thought but some of the left can't tolerate this and now kanye is facing a very public threat, threat to his safety, from a rapper tied to snoop dog. >> yes, national alert, all of you, kanye up, better never see you in concert. better i never see you in california. stay in callabasas. you hear me? we have a crip alert for kan dwrchlt e. all of you, you see that thing?

he wants to mention kanye west because there was a lot of chatter around kanye west, who apparently supports president trump and got a lot of blow back from african-americans. this poll seems to be an outl r outlier. african-american men were much more supportive of donald trump than african-american women. i thought this was a very effective speech, one that can travel. if he's going on the road for the mid terms and some republicans will want him there. i thought he's very much able to tie this idea that the mueller investigation is bad for the country. and this is something that he had talked about earlier, but he seems to be able to flesh it out much more now. because he's talking of the things that he's done that he thinks are good, he's protecting our country, he's got this north korea summit coming up at some point. he's tough on immigration, cracking down on sanctuary cities and there is mean old mr. mueller, right, who is really trying to go after him, to tarnish what he's doing and hurt the country. so i think in that way it's a speech that, you know, republicans don't really know
