Not based on a 1930s idea of how to put everyone in the same factory. Schools were designed to put people in certain forms of jobs. The internet has opened up all other forms of jobs. Education is far behind where it needs to be for us as human beings to be informed enough to not be disappointed in the way that so many people were. We have to ask questions. None of us are experts at everything. When they go up and question the candidates, and it’s all about what the fuck they remember, it’s not about what you remember. It’s about, do you have the ability to work with the best of class? People be joking about Donald—“He ain’t even know that he had to get this, he had to get that.” But does he have the ability to work with the best of class? Well, it’d be a prejudice because of something he would’ve said earlier, right, when he was running to win. But if he takes the model, the same model I’m gonna take in 2020, if he takes the model to work with the best in class, and to work from a place of empathy, for people, for the family of people, not just America, the world. We are one world, bro. We are one race, bro.

There’s a lot of people who said things that offended people. Benjamin Carson is a fucking genius. He might’ve said things that offended people. Maybe Bernie Sanders ain’t have the right look for something. Or maybe people was tired by the status quo of politics. They just wanted to see could possibly something fucking change. This fucking 1930s education system, this fucking class system, this ecosystem. Maybe there was people out there who wanted to see that something could possibly fucking change in this political ass society that’s not doing nothing to help each other out, but only to keep themselves in fucking power. People tell me I can’t talk to y’all in this way. ... There’s a power to the Saint Pablo Tour. All y’all know it’s the coldest tour and all the type of shit, right? [He responds to a fan throwing a Drake VIEWS hat on stage.] So, the funny thing about the guy throwing up the VIEWS hat is, the reason why I might not have thrown on the VIEWS hat is to show the power of this tour. “Nah, I’m the man, I’m Ye, this is my tour, right?” But then when motherfucking “Pop Style” come on, everybody go crazy. It’s from this album! Motherfuckers is always trying to do power plays. That’s what politics are.

But fuck all the power plays and all that type of shit. It’s the collective idea of Hillary or, if we like Bill Clinton and things that he did for the country, we like things about Obama, things that he did, that our current president has to take the best of all candidates’ principles, and combine them right now. If that doesn’t happen, I’mma run, and I’mma say this. And it’s gonna be more clear. If that does happen, there might not be a reason to. Y’all might not totally understand the approach to why I’m saying what I’m saying. ... You know, they try to embarrass me and diminish me and say, they call me a rapper that’s ranting. I don’t have all of the answers, but I know that if I work with the best of class, with the idea of empathy for the human race, that idea of a power struggle between who’s Republican, who’s Democrat, who said this, who said that, [will be replaced by] more of what is the principles that can collectively come together? We can start with America. And bring together the best of all skill sets. Education, housing. There’s so many elements that I’ve been out here learning, when I make my rich-guy house and shit. I be learning about elements that everyone should have. Color palettes, proportions. [He asks a fan to stop clapping, because “you can’t hear what I’m saying as well.”]

One thing that I do have the ability to do is talk as long the fuck as I want, right here. Some people might have a less enjoyable pop experience than others. But if you clap when I’m in the middle of an idea, it’s just distracting. ... This is my platform. I did have a lot to say. I did have a lot of things that I felt about the paradigm shift that we are under right now. And I was told to not say certain ideas I had, because, oh, your fans won’t understand. The reason why you’re echoed to on the internet is because people believe that you won’t understand. I wanna ask a question again. Strictly this question. Not what you believe is right or wrong on who won. Strictly this question, answer me this: Do you believe that there are people here, enjoying—before I started talking at least—a Kanye West show that voted for Trump? By a show of screams, do you believe that there are people at a Kanye West show that voted for Trump. It sounds different than before. Why did we boo the first time on something that wasn’t, hey, do you like Trump? That wasn’t what I asked. I asked you to give me your facts, because the internet was giving you their facts based on what you wanted to hear. And a lot of you guys got blindsided.
