DONALD TRUMP: … the greatest of all time. And what me, what people do not know, Kanye, everyone knows, right? Does the world know, Kanye? What people – Kanye – what people do not know about you [Brown]? They say, first of all, he is the best football player. But they say that he was still better lacrosse player. Do you think so? Huh?
JIM BROWN: I never thought about it.
DONALD TRUMP: I heard that he was there, even in Syracuse.
JIM BROWN: Yes, I loved it. A real love for that.
DONALD TRUMP: Well, it's a pleasure to welcome you, Jim. Thank you. Kanye, it's a pleasure to be with you.
JIM BROWN: Nice to be here with you.
DONALD TRUMP: And these are two friends of mine. And Kanye is a long time friend of mine, and Jim has … Jim came out of nowhere and he said, "I like what the president does. It's been a long time since we met, right? And I like it a lot. And you know, if you look at the numbers of employment, the median income, all the indicators, we are keeping our promise, Jim. Thank you.
JIM BROWN: I like North Korea.
DONALD TRUMP: I also love North Korea.
JIM BROWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE]
DONALD TRUMP: Yeah. Yeah. Well, it turned out to be good. Dialogue. We had a little dialogue. And the secretary of state has just returned, Mike, he has just returned from North Korea. We had very good meetings and we will meet again. But we are doing well. More nuclear tests, more missiles mounted, nothing more. And it was left for the war. It was going to war.
JIM BROWN: Yes, it seemed to me that –
DONALD TRUMP: Yes. It was so close. I spoke, I spoke to President Obama. I'll tell you it was going to war. And now it's going to be, I think it's going to work very well.
KANYE WEST: And stopped the war.
DONALD TRUMP: We really stopped the war, saved millions of lives. You know, Seoul has 30 million inhabitants. You do not realize how many 30 million people live near the border, 30 miles from the border. Millions of people have been killed. And I will say that President Kim has been really good. Really good, and we have made a lot of progress. It's good that you say that, because it's a big problem. These people were covering, they were covering North Korea, not, I think, not very promising. And there were a lot of problems. President Obama said it was his biggest problem. And I do not say anything that is solved –
KANYE WEST: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] one of the biggest problems, in total, one of the biggest problems –
DONALD TRUMP: Yes, it was a big problem, it was a big resolution. And not yet resolved but I think we are a long time – I think we are on the way.
JIM BROWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE]
DONALD TRUMP: No, no, it is that we are well gone.
JIM BROWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE]
DONALD TRUMP: In a short time, Jim. Very short period of time. You know, I left Singapore three months ago and we have made a lot of progress. So that's fine. It's one of many things. And I appreciate everything with you. I tell you what. Kim was there. Ms. Johnson, we have it out. She was very unfairly treated. And there are a lot of other people like that, that –
KANYE WEST: Larry Hoover's attorney is with us today, and he's a prisoner we focus on. He has six life sentences and he has 23 children both near Unabomber. It means that it is –
DONALD TRUMP: What did he do, Larry? What's he doing?
LAWYER: Why is he here?
DONALD TRUMP: Yes, tell me. Tell us the story
LAWYER: This is allegedly for jail conspiracy, state prison, but we think that even though he had committed these crimes, his sentence was too broad and too severe.
DONALD TRUMP: What was the sentence?
LAWYER: Six consecutive life sentences in the world's most secure prison, also known as the clean version of hell, for economic crime.
KANYE WEST: What prison is it? Name the prison.
LAWYER: ADX Supermax in Florence, Colorado. They are home to the Unabomber, Al Qaeda members, mass killers, the Oklahoma City bomber, things of that nature.
DONALD TRUMP: How old is he? How old?
LAWYER: Sixty-eight.
DONALD TRUMP: Is he 68 years old?
PERSON X: Yes, he is 68 years old.
KANYE WEST: And really, the reason they jailed him is because he started doing positive for the community. He began to show that he really had power, that he was not only a monolithic voice, but that he could surround people. So there are theories that there is an infinite amount of universe and an alternate universe. So it's very important for me to get out Hoover because, in an alternative universe, I am and I have to release it. Because it was positive inside Chicago, just as I'm coming back to Chicago and it's not just about, you know, going on stage, being an artist of show and have a monolithic voice forced to be part of a party. You know, people expect that if you are black, you must be a democrat. I have conversations – I have conversations that basically said that welfare is the reason why many blacks end up being democrats. They say, you know, first of all, it's a limit to the number of jobs. So fathers lose their jobs and say, "We will give you more money to have more children at home". And then we got rid of the mental health institutes of the 80s and 90s, and the detention rates simply went up. And now you have Chi-raq, what people call Chi-raq – which is to say that our murder rate is decreasing by 20% each year. I just spoke to the superintendent, I met Michael Sacks, he is Rahm's trusted man. So, I think it's bravery that helps you beat this game called life. You know, they tried to scare me for not wearing this hat. My own friends But this hat gives me – it gives me some power. You know, my dad and my mom broke up, so I did not have a lot of masculine energy at home. And then, I am married to a family who, uh, do not know much about male energy. It's beautiful anyway. But there are times when, you know, it's something about, I love Hillary. I love everyone, right? But the "I'm with her" campaign just did not make me feel like I could not see my dad all the time, like a guy who could play tied with his son. It was something about, when I put this hat on, it made me feel like Superman. You have created a Superman – this is my favorite superhero. And you made me a Superman cape. Also as a guy who admires you, admires Ralph Lauren, admits American industrialists, apolitical, without bull ** – put the beep on it, as you wish, five seconds later – and just go and do it. Right now, you've given me the heart to go to Adidas. Because at Adidas, when I joined in 2015, we are a $ 14 billion company that loses $ 2 billion a year. We now have a market capitalization of $ 38 billion. This is what is called "Yeezy effect". And I went to Casper. We had a meeting in Chicago. And I said, "You have to bring manufacturing to the ground." And not even the coast. In the kernel! This is not about borders, the core of Adidas. And Chicago is the heart of Central America and we need to make it strong. So I had the bullets, because I had enough balls to put that hat on. I mean, this Adidas case made me a billionaire and I could have lost $ 200 million if I walked away from this deal. But even with that, I knew that it was more important for me to take the risk of getting away from this deal than to have no father in Chicago, without a home. And when we have a prison reform, no – because it's an empowerment, not a rehabilitation, because we did not have the capabilities in the first place. We have never had anyone who taught us. They did not teach us. And exactly: "We did not have anyone who taught us", right? It is therefore more important than any agreement, be it, to create jobs in America. And since we are bridging the gap between mental health and the American education program that Jim has been working on, Larry Hoover also has a program he has worked on. We worked on Montessori study programs. WeWorks has a nice program. The Waldorf Institution has a program of studies. We have meditation. Many factors affecting our mental health drive us crazy and plunge us into this trap called the 13th Amendment. I said "abolish" with the hat. Because why would you keep something that is a trap? If you build a floor, the Constitution is the basis of our industry, right? From our country, from our society. Would you build a hatch so that if you accidentally go wrong, something happens, you fall and you end up next to the Unabomber? You end up – you have to remove all this trap from the relationship. The four gentleman who wrote the 13th amendment? And I think the way the universe works is perfect. We do not have 13 floors, is not it? You know, the four gentlemen who drafted the 13th amendment did not look like the people they were modifying. Moreover, at that time, it was illegal for blacks to read or African-Americans to read, which meant that if you actually read the amendment, you would be locked up! And turned into a slave. Again, I think we do not need sentences, we need partners. We must talk to people. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I was in contact with a neuropsychologist who works with athletes from the NBA and the NFL. And he looked at my brain, he's equal in three parts. I'm going to throw you bombs: 98th percentile IQ test. I had a centile of all human beings, but it counted eight digits in reverse, there were repetitions. So, I'm going to work on that one. The others, 98%. Tesla Freud. You know, so he said that I was not bipolar. I had a sleep deprivation that could cause dementia in 10 to 20 years and I would not even remember my son's name. So, all that power I have, and I take my son to the Sox match and all that? I could not remember his name – a wrong diagnosis. And what we need is that we can empower pharmaceuticals and make more money. It's one thing. I never found myself in a situation where I did not earn more money. So we can empower pharmaceuticals. We can empower our industries. We can empower our factories. We can not only bring Adidas down, we can call on Foxconn and set up a plant, I think, in Minnesota. Fifth-three thousand –
DONALD TRUMP: Wisconsin, yes. Wisconsin.
KANYE WEST: Yeah, Wisconsin. They have 4,000 jobs. People who earn $ 53,000 a year. And one of the things we need to define is Ford, to have the highest design. The most doping cars. The most incredible. I do not really say "dope". I do not say negative words and I try to return them. We simply say positive, adorable, divine and universal words. So the coolest, coolest and most amazing car. And what we want to start is – I brought a gift with me here. This here is the I-plane One. It is a hydrogen powered aircraft, and it is in this sense that our president should fly away. Look, Jared.
DONALD TRUMP: We're going to get rid of Air Force One. Can we get rid of Air Force One? No? You do not like it.
KANYE WEST: Well, we're going to have Apple, an American company, that will work on this plane with – but you know what I do not like – it's not that I do not like – what I need for Saturday Night Live to improve, and what I need liberals to improve it, is: it 's not look good, we do not look good. This is our president.
DONALD TRUMP: That's right.
KANYE WEST: It must be the freshest, the fastest, the fastest planes, the best factories. And we have to make sure that our core is autonomous. We need to create jobs in America. Because our best exports are entertainment ideas. But when we manufacture everything in China and not in America, we deceive our country. And we put people in a position to do illegal things to end up in the cheapest factory of all time, the penitentiary system.
DONALD TRUMP: I'll tell you what, it was pretty impressive, people. You know, I hate to say that, Jim, do you mean something too? What are you doing after that?
JIM BROWN: It does not bother you if I –
DONALD TRUMP: You are fantastic. Please, Jim, do you like it.
JIM BROWN: Okay. It does not look good, we do not look good.
DONALD TRUMP: Great, is not it?
JIM BROWN: Yes that's it.
DONALD TRUMP: Is not it an excellent statement? And it's so true. As a country, it is so true. Very impressive. I have never seen Jim Brown impressed before. He was impressed. This is true. This statement is incredible, huh?
JIM BROWN: Yes, that makes a lot of sense.
DONALD TRUMP: I want to say that I'm happy to have you here. And we'll go, we'll have lunch. It was really something. It was really something.
KANYE WEST: It was soul. I just channeled it.
DONALD TRUMP: Yes, it's really very interesting.
JOURNALIST: A quick question?
DONALD TRUMP: Yes, of course, please.
DIARY: So you told President Bush that he did not care about blacks. And you've heard some people say that about this president. What do you say to that? What are you doing with that?
KANYE WEST: I think we have to worry about everyone. And I believe that when I went on NBC, I was very emotional and I was programmed to think of a victim mentality, a wellness mentality. I think that with Blacks and African Americans, we are really caught up in the idea of racism versus the idea of the industry. We say that if people do not have land, they are content with brands. We want Polo to back Obama again. We want a brand more than we want land. Because we do not know what it's like to own our own land and own our own blocks. So, when you are not an owner, it all depends on the appearance of something. It is the patina, not the soul, nor the nucleus. So, we are more focused on the fact that someone is wearing something, does someone disrespect me so I have to do it, I have to shoot them? Or the idea of racist? You know, we're talking about police killings, which we absolutely need to discuss, and we need to bring some nobility to the police and give them back – because the police are like us. But there's just all this building hatred, right? And it's a major element of racial tension. And we, as blacks, must take responsibility for what we do. We kill more policemen. And that does not mean that the policeman is not a problem, because he's at a place, a position of power. But sometimes they are in law enforcement placement. They must have the force of law. It is the force against power. When you have – you should not force people to do it. So, very often, the policeman is sitting there, he is obliged to do that and forced to block. And then they force someone into something and force something. We must unleash love all over the country and give opportunities. Often it's just the general lack of reparations that brings us – at any time we say, "Ah, it's racist, it's racist, it's racist, it's Is racist. " So we do not have the repairs, but we have the 13th amendment. We must open the whole conversation. So – and this is a movement – one of the movements the Liberals are trying to do, a Liberal would try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know we are a very proud and emotional people. So when I said "I love Trump", to somebody from the Liberal, they will say, "Oh, but he is racist." You think racism can control me? Oh, that does not stop me. It's an invisible wall.
JOURNALIST: Mr. West, what do you want? –
JOURNALIST: So you reject those who call themselves racists?
KANYE WEST: Your question. You had a question, so we move on to another question. I have answered your question. I do not answer questions by simple sound phrases. You enjoy a good wine. He has several notes. You'd better play 4-D chess with me as if it's "Minority Report". Because it is not so simple. It's complex.
NEWSPAPER: Mr. West, what would you like – I come from the Chicago Sun-Times, then I would like to know what you are asking President Trump to do for Chicago. We heard you talk about crime in Chicago.
KANYE WEST: The Police Chief and Matt Sacks met me last night at Soho House: we have the feeling that "stop and search" does not help relations in the city. And everyone who knew I came here said, "Ask questions about Stop and Frisk." That's – it's the first thing we're talking about. Another thing is the opening of industries. And we must also benefit from tax breaks. Because we know, we manufacture – we have a speed plant in Atlanta but the shoes cost us $ 300. So it costs us too much to do things. So we need prototypes here to get people back to work, so that China can not just fight and Vietnam can not beat us. You have Lévis, the biggest jeans company in the world, that makes its jeans in Vietnam. So we're going to need some breaks to get to some places in my hometown, Chicago, and the 2.7 million out of 9 million. [in the] surrounding suburbs, where we can create factories. Now, I think it would be cool for them to become Trump factories because he is a master of the industry, he is a builder. And I think it would be cool to have "Yeezy Ideation Centers," which would be a mixture of education that would empower people and provide them with modern information. As sometimes, people say, "This kid has ADD, this kid has ADD." It does not have ADD! The school is boring! It was boring. It's not as exciting as that. We must make it more exciting. We have to mix the programs. You play basketball while doing maths. You learn music while you meditate in the morning. We need to reintegrate mental health and art programs in the city. This is the case, and Larry Hoover is an example of a man who has transformed his life, and as soon as he tried to change his life, he was sentenced to six life sentences. So, I believe it – you say, "Do not destroy the statues"? Larry Hoover is a living statue. He is a beacon for us who needs to see his family, who must go out and represent. When you have a block leader on each block, they can own the block as their own. It's something I learned from Jim Brown, from Amer-I-Can. We need to set up curricula, designed by people who come from the street and not by people who are just trying to prepare us for a work system or a penitentiary system, which is relevant to reality. What Jim Brown has created.
Journalist: What about gun violence, while the whole debate around the second amendment is going on?
KANYE WEST: The problem is illegal guns. Illegal firearms is the problem, not legal firearms. We have the right to carry weapons.
NEWSPAPER: President Trump said he preferred to "stop and search". Are you going to discuss it? Do you think you can change your mind?
KANYE WEST: Yes, we will discuss it. I did not want to explode like that, dude.
DONALD TRUMP: No, no, it's good. Hey, I am open minded, I am here. I am open minded.
JOURNALIST: Mr. Chairman, would you like him to speak at one of your gatherings?
DONALD TRUMP: He can speak for me when he wants. He went there. Good guy. It's a smart cookie. Clever. He gets it. These two guys, Jim Brown, he's been doing this for a long time.
JOURNALIST: Is he a future presidential candidate?
DONALD TRUMP: Uh, that could very well be it.
KANYE WEST: Only after that would be 2024.
DONALD TRUMP: It's good, I'm happy to hear it.
KANYE WEST: We have a good – and the fact is that we stop worrying for the future. All we really have is today. We have just today. Again and again. The eternal returns and the journey of the hero. And Trump is currently in the run of his hero, and he did not expect his crazy mother to be like Kanye West to support her. But better to believe that we are going to make America a great one. Now the problem is another problem: Blacks have a problem with the word "still". And I think I feel that because I'm going to run – I'm going to go to the end [unintelligible] because time is a myth. All we have is the present. All we have is today. So the word "still" does not hurt us because of the idea of racism and slavery, and different things. It hurts us because we have to focus on who we are now, today, I think. So, I actually brought hats that have a little transition. I'm not trying to tell you – I'll tell you a little bit. I made a hat that says "Make America Great". Only that. But I would like to see at the Super Bowl, Trump wearing the hat "Make America Great". hake [Kaepernick] bearing the "Make America Great." And showing that we can bend a little on that side, we can bend a little bit on that side, and we can learn to be malleable in the infinite universe that we are, and the loving beings that we are not to stick to our old traditions and that we are not a part, we are a unit, we are a country, we are a moment in history, in time. to be here before, but for the moment we are here together, and the greatest value people have is other people, and we have to stop working on red and blue. gang.
DONALD TRUMP: Let me ask you this question. You are in the oval office. How do you feel in the oval office?
KANYE WEST: Oh, that's a good energy for that.
DONALD TRUMP: Is not it good energy?
KANYE WEST: It's a good energy.
DONALD TRUMP: It's a great place. Jim, how are you feeling?
JIM BROWN: I feel good.
DONALD TRUMP: Yeah.
JIM BROWN: I feel really good. And thank you too.
DONALD TRUMP: You are so respected. And what Kanye did is unbelievable. Around the world, they talk about it. And I have to tell you that I had important meetings today with the senators and with everything. Nobody cared! They wanted this meeting! It's the meeting. Is it correct? I can say that to Jon.
JOURNALIST: Oh, we care about – you know –
DONALD TRUMP: No, the others were good, okay, but that's what they want.
JIM BROWN: They knew you would be there.
DONALD TRUMP: Well, that's my honor, Jim. I want to tell you that I have been a fan for a long time. Long time. [There’s] nobody like you. Nobody like you. No athlete like you.
JIM BROWN: Well, you know why I'm here? I am here to serve.
DONALD TRUMP: Well, it's really nice, man.
JIM BROWN: I will not ask anything. I am here to contribute.
DONALD TRUMP: Well, and you know, Jim has always been like that. For a long time. And he just wanted to help. And it's something special. Jennifer, do you have a question?
JOURNALIST: Uh, I guess, just you, what do you think about stopping and searching? Are you going, you know, going back -?
DONALD TRUMP: Well, let's look at it. I am open to everything. Hey, listen, I think it's a shame what's happening in Chicago.
JOURNALIST: I mean, what else in Chicago?
DONALD TRUMP: I'm in Chicago too. I have beautiful things in Chicago. Do you know that's true? And I hate to see what happens. They have numbers that – number of people who were shot. And this is not for this country. So they have to do something. And I'm totally open. If we can do it differently, Kanye, I'm totally open. But they have to do – I mean, we all agree that they have to do something. It's safe.
THE NEWSPAPER: Mr. Chairman, is it a matter of law enforcement, legislation, or legislation?
DONALD TRUMP: Well, maybe that's a combination of both. I guess that is, but I think it's probably a combination of both. And it's also a question of respect. They respect this guy. They respect this guy. It's a great thing. At present, they do not respect, say, your mayor or your leadership in Chicago. But that certainly should not happen. What happens there should not happen. Steve, go ahead.
JOURNALIST: What do you want this meeting to achieve, in terms of –
DONALD TRUMP: Honestly, from our point of view, this was set up to be a lunch, of two people that I like. And I guess they like me well. And we will have lunch. And we will talk.
KANYE WEST: You said "respect". I guess you know I like you. Do I have, have I –
DONALD TRUMP: But I do not want to take – I do not want to put you there.
KANYE WEST: No, I'm here. I like this guy here. Let me kiss that guy right there. I like this guy here.
DONALD TRUMP: It's really nice. Come here. It's really nice. And it comes from the heart. I did not want to put you in that position. But it comes from the heart. Special guy. These two are special people. Whether you like it or not, they are special people. And I appreciate it. Jim, Kanye, I appreciate it. So will we have lunch, okay? Thank you very much to all.
