Before I start tonight I just wanted to read a brief statement that I prepared. > "I denounce anti-Semitism in all its forms. And I stand with my friends in the Jewish community." > And that, Kanye, is how you buy yourself some time. On Kanye > Vaguely I remember it started with a tweet, strange tweet. It was like uhh, "I'm feeling a little sleepy. I'm gonna get me some rest, but when I wake up, I'm gonna go DEFCON 3 on the Jews." > And then he just went to bed. > I was up all night worried. What is he gonna do to the Jews? > He had broken the show business rules. There's just a rule. You know, the rules of perception. If they're black then it's a gang; if they're Italian it's a mob; but if they're Jewish it's a coincidence and you should never speak about it. > Kanye got in so much trouble Kyrie got in trouble. > I don't think Kanye is crazy at all. I think he's possibly not well. But I've been to Hollywood. And I don't want yall to get mad at me. I'm just telling you, this is what I saw. It's a lot of Jews. Like a lot. > But that doesn't mean anything! You know what I mean? There's a lot of black people in Ferguson Missouri. Doesn't mean we run the place. > I could see if you had some kind of issue, know what I mean, might go out to Hollywood, and you might start connecting some kind of lines, and you might adopt the delusion that the Jews run show business. It's not a crazy thing to think. But it's a crazy thing to say out loud in a climate like this. On Trump and his appeal > I'm watching new news now, they're declaring the end of the Trump era. Now, okay, I can see how in New York you might believe this is the end of his era. I'm just being honest with you. I live in Ohio amongst poor whites. A lot of you don't understand why Trump was so popular. But I get it because I hear it every day. He's very loved. And the reason he's loved is because people in Ohio have never seen somebody like him. He's what I call an honest liar. I'm not joking right now. He's an honest liar. That first debate, that first debate I'd never seen anything like it. I've never seen a white male billionaire screaming at the top of his lungs, "This whole system is rigged," he said. > And across the stage was a white woman, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, sitting over there like "No, it's not." > I said "Now, wait a minute, bro. It's what he said." > And the moderator said, "Well, Mr. Trump, if in fact the system is rigged, as you suggest, what would be your evidence?" > Remember what he said bro? He said, "I know the system is rigged, because I use it." > I said, "God damn!" > And then he pulled out an Illuminati membership card and chopped a line of cocaine up and did it right at the podium. No one had ever heard someone say something that true. > And then Hillary Clinon tried to punch him in the taxes. She said, "This man doesn't pay his taxes!" > He shot right back, "That makes me smart." > And then he said, "If you want me to pay my taxes, then change the tax code. But I know you won't. Because your friends and your donors enjoy the same tax breaks that I do." And with that, my friends, a star was born. No one had ever seen anything like that. No one had ever seen somebody come from inside of that house, outside and tell all the commoners, "We're doing everything that you think we are doing inside of that house." Then he just went right back inside the house and started playing the game again. > Democrats were sore losers. I'm a Democrat and I'm telling you. As soon as he won they started saying all that — "He's colluding with Russia, he's colluding with Russia." It was very embarrassing as a Democrat. > But as time went on — sigh — we all came to learn that he was probably colluding with Russia. > I even look at his wife different now. His wife is beautiful, no question about it, but she looks like the kind of chick that James Bond would smash, but not trust. On speech > It shouldn't be this scary to talk. About anything. It's making my job incredibly difficult. And to be honest with you I'm getting sick of talking to a crowd like this. I love you to death, and I thank you for your support. And I hope they don't take anything away from me. Whoever they are.
