getting access to the areas that have been hardest hit. we have a massive effort to get out to people. we still could have threats to life and property today from michael because of the rain. we are awaiting a big visitor. kanye west going to be visiting with the president. they re going to be discussing a range of different issues. everything from prison reform to gang violence in chicago. all right. welcome back. let s talk about stock markets. u.s. stocks opened lower again this morning. one day after a more than 800-point drop in the dow. that s the third biggest point drop in its history. now, look, stephanie, this is two-thirds of a percent. you and i understand the percents are more important than talking about cents because the dow is high. this is persistence. and there are regular folks kind of worried about their retirement now. we haven t seen any volatility in such a long time and the market has been roaring for such a long period of time. it s certainly not a ti
is someone african-americans have championed who say this is someone who they ve really, really looked at and said this is a star of rappers. they re going to be able to look at this and say hey, look, there are clearly some african-americans who, like president trump, look what kanye west said about him. for the base, will make them feel better. but for just african-american, looking at some of the text message, people were appalled that kanye west did this. black people are smart enough to know just because kanye west is an african-american man, doesn t mean you re going to follow him and follow what he s saying. you could say that again with herman kean. there were people who said okay, herman kane is a black man. that means people are going to vote for him. and we didn t see that. i don t think this helps the president with african-american voters. it s more than just having an unconventional approach or different voice in the white house. because president trump did say things o
free. because he was doing positive inside chicago just like i m moving back to chicago and it s not just about, you know, getting on stage and being an entertainer and having a monolithic voice that s forced to be a specific party, you know, people expect that if you re black, you have to be democrat. i have a i have conversations that basically said that welfare is the reason why a lot of black people end up being democrat. they say, you know, first of all, it s a limit to amount of jobs. so the fathers lose the jobs and they say we ll give you more money for having more kids in your home and then we got rid of mental health institutions in the 80s and 90s and the prison rates just shot up. and now you have shiraq, what people call chi-raq. just talked to the superintendant. met with michael, that s rome s right-hand man. i think it s the bravery that
saying. we rarely hear the president talk about gun violence. prison reform is a jared issue. it s not the president s. but in this case, knowing what s important to the president, the president could make a move because we re talking about chicago. and this is president obama s l obama. and if trump can get something done in obama s backyard, that is exactly what he likes. guess what, if it helps the people of chicago, illinois, great. yes. well, again, that was on the table for about 45 seconds of that conversation and then blew away with the wind. it went from the table to outer space. yes, no kidding. thanks very much. yamich is one of the america s finest and smartest journalists and here the three of us are dissecting that weird conversation. weird. that s just weird. next, officials say they re just starting to assess the damage from historic hurricane michael which made landfall as a
he don t have a.d.d. school is boring. it s not exciting. we have to make it more exciting. play basketball while you re doing math. you learn about music while you re meditating in the morning. we have to instate mental health and art programs because into the city. so those are also, larry hoover is an example of a man that was turning his life around. as soon as he tried to turn his life around, they hit him with six life sentences. i believe you say don t tear down the statues? larry hoover is a living statue. a beacon for us that needs to see his family. that needs to go out and represent. when you have a block leader on every single block, they can own the block as their own. that s something i learned from jim brown, from amer i can. from people who really came from streets. not people who are just trying to set us up to go into a prison system. that applies to what people are really going through. which jim brown has created.
