[ Opens with the C-Span title image. ]

Announcer: You’re watching C-Span. At midnight, it’s interns gone wild. But first full coverage of the Oval Office meeting between President Trump, rapper Kanye West, and football legend Jim Brown. Among the issues discussed were prison reform, education, alternate universes, Superman, and flying cars. We go now to President Trump in the Oval Office.

[ Cut to the Oval Office. Trump is sitting at his desk with Kanye West and Jim Brown. There is a group of photographers taking their photos and a member of the press asking questions. ]

Trump: Hello. Thank you all for joining us today for this important discussion. It is no way a publicity stunt. This is a serious private conversation between three friends plus 50 reporters with cameras. I’m proud to welcome Kanye West Yeezus Yandhi Yaddam Yussein. An amazing guy. Thank you for coming Kanye.

Kanye: Yeah, that’s right. I flew here using the power of this hat. [ He is wearing a red ‘Make America Great Again’ hat. ]

Trump: That’s terrific. We also got Hall of Fame running back and Civil Rights activist, Jim Brown. Not many people know he was a great lacrosse player. How are you feeling, Jim?

Jim: Already pretty nervous.

Trump: These two are great dear friends of mine. A couple of real Chicago types, if you know what I mean. And Kanye, I want to thank you for giving me, thank you for giving me a pair of your sneakers. [ He pulls out a pair of white sneakers. ] They’re perfect for me because they’re white, they’re wide, and they’re never going to be worth as much as you say they are. Now we got an amazing lunch to get to, but first I’m sure that Kanye wants to make one or two brief lucid remarks. Kanye.

Kanye: First, let me being with the idea that time is a myth of infinite amounts of universe. And I’m a prisoner in another dimension. Have I lost anyone so far? [ Everyone on stage raises their hand. ] Okay, so I’m gonna talk about trapped doors. Like the 13th amendment is a trap door. And if you’re installing a floor, aka the Constitution, why would you build a trap door? Why would you build a trap door when you can end up with the unabomber?

[ Trump pouts his lips and nods as his voiceover explains his thoughts. ]

Trump voiceover: Oh, this guy might be cuckoo. I’ve been in the room with Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un, and they made a lot more sense than him.

Kanye: And then if you in Chicago, some people call it shy-raq. But the murder rate is going down, 20% every year. And pretty soon it’s going to be a negative murder rate. We’re gonna be digging bodies out of the ground.

Trump voiceover: That was freakin’ dumb. He doesn’t stop. He doesn’t listen to anyone but himself. Who does he remind me of?

Kanye: And I don’t want to brag, bro. I don’t wanna brag. But I really have a high IQ; I’m a stable genius. I got a big brain, and I got the best words.

Trump voiceover: Oh my god, he’s black me! I feel like I’ve been visited by the Christmas black. Quick, look at Jim Brown instead. [ He looks at Jim Brown. Jim statres on quietly thinking. ]

Jim voiceover: Oh my lord, what have I gotten myself into? I played football with a leather helmet, and my brain’s still working better than his.

Kanye: And when I put this hat on, this hat is like Superman’s hat.

Jim voiceover: Superman didn’t have a hat, you idiot.

Kanye: See the 13th amendment. You gotta abolish it. It should jump from 12 to 14 like skyscraper elevators. Huh?

Jim voiceover: Can someone be tri-polar?

Kanye: And another thing to think about is that actually, Hillary Clinton is not a man.

Trump voiceover: Wow, that was a curveball. You know this could be good for me. This guy makes Brett Kavanaugh look calm and collected. Wait, no, it can’t be that good. Every reported from CNN is way too happy. [ Camera pans over to the press guy smiling really happily. ]

Kanye: Now, I wanna show y’all a picture of an airplane on my Iphone. [ He pulls out his Iphone. ] Let me put the passcode in, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, I’m a genius.

Trump voiceover: His password is six zeros? Well, at least now I feel a lot better about my password eight, zero, zero, eight, five, aka boobs. [ He mouths the word boobs along with his voiceover. ]

Kanye: Okay, okay. Here’s a picture of a new plane. [ He leans towards Trump showing him an image of Wonder Woman on his phone. ] I want this to be your new Air Force One.

Trump: Wow, very cool. Very cool, indeed. Where’s the plane.

Kanye: It’s invisible.

Trump: Oh that’s fantastic, okay. And, who is that?

Kanye: That’s Wonder Woman.

Trump: Okay, maybe we should order your lunch from a pharmacy. Oh, let’s remember the big lesson today, that black people love me. They love me way more than they love Alec Baldwin.

Jim voiceover: Is God testing me? Or is this like that show, ‘What Would You Do?’ I might have to tackle both of these fools.

Kanye: So in conclusion, 13th amendment, shy-raq, trap doors lead to the unabomber, male energy, Trump is my dad, Hillary is a woman, and the media needs to start making this President look good.

Trump voiceover: Poopity-scoop. Scoop-de-loop. Boop-de-scoop-de-poop. Poopity-scoop.

Kanye: Hey Jim, do you want to add anything?

Jim: Add? I got a couple of subtractions I’d like to suggest. The only thing I definitely want to point out is that mental health in the black community is an even bigger issue than I apparently thought. I mean I’ve been on coalitions with Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson, and this is the first time I’m having regrets.

Kanye: And now it’s time for me to hug my new dad. [ Kanye gets up and walks over to Trump and gives him a big hug. ] Come on in here, Dad. Bring it in.

Trump: Get in here blood.

[ Trump and Kanye continue to hug. ]

Trump voiceover: Don’t check to see if you’re wallet’s still there. Don’t check. [ Trump’s hand hesitates to leave Kanye’s back, but then he gives in and checks his pocket for his wallet. ]

Kanye: I want everyone to know, I love this man!

Trump: I love you, Kanye. We got a lot more in common than people know. We’re both geniuses, we’re both married to beautiful women, and we both definitely have been recorded saying the n-word.

Kanye & Trump: And live from New York, it’s Saturday night!!!
