in common. they both have been criticized by barack obama. okay, so the truth here is pretty simple. this is about more than just rap. it s about race. when kanye came in very strongly a number of months ago, something happened. my polls went up like 25%. nobody has ever seen it like he s got a big following in the african-american community. so, when the president parades kanye in front of the cameras, that is just a cynical attempt to man ipulate black voters with less than a month to go until the midterms. don t fall for the okeydoke. there is a lot to talk about tonight with frank bruin ee, and april ryan. we ll get to it next. these folks, they don t have time to go to the post office they have businesses to grow customers to care for lives to get home to they use stamps.com
he s not doing it. don, they are working on prison reform. i m giving them i m going to give you van jones phone number after this. that is not why donald trump wants him there. i have his phone number. you re getting him in trouble right now. van told us on the air that he was working with him, that people were working with him to get on message. i know. that didn t happen. all i m saying is members of the congressional black caucus are working with him as well because this is a moment that they could get something done. i ve got to go and i have to get frank in here. so, frank, as i was saying, this isn t about criminal justice reform for this president. this isn t about someone who really has issues as i said, i feel sorry for him. everyone who had a connection to him through his music, who i knew today, said this is no longer funny. this is not funny, this is sad. and he needs help, and he needs to stop letting this administration exploit him. right, and
call, go online, or demo in an xfinity store today. at his rally this week, president trump has been praising kanye west as someone who gets it when it comes to issues affecting african americans. so back with me now, frank, chris, and april. april, you wanted to get in about him saying when he donned his maga hat, as a guy he couldn t get behind the i m with her slogan. kind of going back to what frank said, i think this is why people were having beginning to have a problem with this shock and awe moment of kanye. he basically talked about trying to work out his father/son issues because his father wasn t there, and donald trump pretty much was like a father figure. he was basically saying that and he looked at him as someone who would play ball with him. and i m saying to myself, we have not seen him play ball with
ten-minute rant on national television even dropping the f bomb in the oval office. let s discuss with frank bruin ee, april ryan, reporting from the front lines of the trump white house. good evening. frank, i couldn t get my workout on today because right during that time kanye was on. my apple watch it was like a shock, like a cattle prod. i m like, oh, my gosh, what is going on? kanye was on television and then i got home and my mom said, you ve got to watch it. i said, i can t watch it, i have to turn it off. think about this, all the communities being decimated from hurricane michael, the dow lost over 1300 points today. we got the jamal khashoggi case now. is the president prioritizing kanye overall of that? i think the president is prioritizing himself. i mean, i watch a day like today and i think what i ve thought many times before, which is he does what suits his fancy at a given moment. he does what he s in the mood for. it doesn t matter what s going on in the nation. i
