Kanye West monologue at the White House

Here we have Larry Hoover's lawyer
With us today and
It’s a prisoner that we're focused on he has
Six life sentences and they have
Him next to the
Unibomber doing 23 and 1 … Really the
Reason why they imprisoned is because
He started doing positive
For the community he started showing that he
Actually had power, he wasn't just one of a
Monolithic voice but he could
Wrap people around, so there’s theories that
There's infinite amounts
Of universe, and there's alternate universe
So it's very important for me to get Hoover
Out because in an alternate universe
I am him and I have to go
And get him free because he was
Doing positive inside of Chicago
Just like how 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 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 job and they say
‘We’ll give you more money for having
More kids in your home' And
Then we got rid of the
Mental health institutes in the
80s and the 90s and the
Prison rates just shot up
And now you have Chiraq
What people call Chiraq, which
Actually, our murder rate is going
Down by 20 per cent every year i just
Talked to the superintendent, met
With Michael Sacks, that’s Ron's
Right hand man so
I think it's the bravery that helps
You beat this game called
Life you know they tried to scare me to not
Wear this hat, my own friends, but this hat
It gives me power in a way

"You know, my dad and my mom separated
So I didn't have a lot of
Male energy in my home and also I’m
Married now into a family that, you
Know, not a lot of male energy going on
It's beautiful though but there's times
Where, you know, it's something about, I
Love Hillary, I love everyone, right, but
The campaign "I'm With Her" just didn't
Make me feel as a guy that didn't get to see
My dad all the time
Like a guy that could play
Catch with his son it was something about
When I put this hat on, it
Made me feel like Superman you made
Us Superman, that's my favorite superhero
And you made a Superman cape for me

"Also as a guy that looks up to you, looks up
To Ralph Lauren, looks up to
American industry guys non-political
No bullshit – put
The beep on it, however you want to do it
Five seconds delay – and just goes in and
Gets it done right now
You gave me the heart to go
To Adidas when I went
In, in 2015, we were a $14 billion
Company losing $2 billion a year now, we
Have $38 billion market cap it's called "The
Yeezy Effect" And went and I said
"You have to bring manufacturing
On-shore not even on-shore
Into the core it's not about
The borders the core of Adidas, and Chicago
Is the core of middle America
And we have to make middle America strong

"So, I had the balls, because I have enough
Balls to put on this hat i mean
This Adidas thing made
Me a billionaire and I could
Have lost $200 million
Walking away from that deal
But even with that
I knew it was more important for
Me to take the chance
Of walking away from that deal, than
To have no fathers in Chicago
With no homes and when we do
Have prison reformation, not rehabilitation
Because
They didn't have the abilities in the
First place we never had anyone
Who taught us, they didn't teach us
Then any specific deal, anything
That we bring jobs into America and that
We provide a transition with mental health
And the AmeriCan education curriculum
That Jim has worked on larry Hoover also has
A curriculum that he's worked on we have
Montessori curriculums that we worked on
WeWorks has beautiful curriculum
The Waldorf establishment
Has a curriculum we have meditation

"There's a lot of things affecting our mental
Health that makes us do crazy things
That puts us back
Into that trap door that's called
The 13th Amendment i
Did say, "abolish, " with the hat on
Because why would you keep something
Around that's a trap
Door if you building a floor
The constitution is
The base of our industry, of our country
Of our company would you build
A trap door that if you mess
Up and accidentally something happens
You fall and you end up
Next to the Uni-bomber, you gotta remove
All that trapdoor out of the relationship the
Four gentleman that wrote the 13th Amendment
And I think
The way the universe works is perfect
We don't have 13 floors, do we? You know
The four gentleman that wrote
The 13th amendment
Didn't look like the people they
Were amending also, at that point
It was illegal for
Blacks to read, or African
Americans, to read so
That meant if you actually
Read the Amendment
You'd get locked up! And turned into a slave
Again, so what I think is
We don't need sentences
We need pardons we need to talk to people
"I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder i
Was connected with a neuropsychologist
That works with the athletes in
The NBA and NFL he looked at my brain
It's equal on three parts i'm gonna go
Ahead, drop some bombs for you
98 percentile IQ test, i had a
75 percentile of all human beings when
It was counting eight numbers
Backwards, so I'm gonna work on
That one the other ones, 98
Percent, Tesla, Freud so, he said
That I actually wasn't bipolar, i
Had sleep deprivation, which could cause
Dementia 10-20 years from now
Where I wouldn't even
Remember my son's name so, all
This power that I've got, and
I'm taking my son to the
Sox game and all that, i wouldn't be
Able to remember his name, from a
Misdiagnosis what we need is, we
Can empower the pharmaceuticals and make
More money that's one thing
I've never stepped into a situation where
I didn't make people more
Money so, we can empower pharmaceuticals
We can empower our industries, we can
Empower our factories, we can bring
Not only Adidas on shore, we
Could bring Foxconn and set up
A factory in, I think, minnesota

"yeah, Wisconsin they have 4, 000
Jobs, people making 53, 000 a
Year and one of the things we gotta set is
Ford to have the highest designs
The dopest cars the most amazing
I don't really say, "dope, " I don't
Say negative words and try to flip
‘em we just say positive, lovely
Divine, universal words so
The flyest, freshest, most
Amazing car and what we start with
Is – I brought a GIF with
Me right hereThis right here
Is the iPlane 1 it's
A hydrogen powered airplane
And this is what our
President should be flying in we're gonna
Have Apple, an American company
Work on this plane

"What I need Saturday Night
Live to improve on, or
What I need the liberals to improve on is
If he don't look good
We don't look good this is our President he
Has to be the freshest, the
Flyest, the flyest planes
The best factories and we have
To make our core be
Empowered we have to bring jobs into America
Because our best export is entertainment
And ideas but when we make everything
In China and not America, then
We're cheating on our country
And we're putting people in positions to have
To do illegal things to end up
In the cheapest factory every
The prison system"
