Kanye West has stopped typing and is ready to speak on camera.

All of his latest Instagram rants and creation of a TikTok account have all culminated in a sit-down interview with Good Morning Americas Linsey Davis.

Right off the bat, Ye was asked about the benefits and pitfalls of his social media presence, and he gave a car analogy as an answer.

“We can use a car to rush somebody to the hospital, or we can use a car and accidentally hit somebody while we’re rushing somebody to the hospital. So it’s all in how we use it,” West explains.

Another major controversy Ye’s currently facing is his relationship with Kim Kardashian and learning how to co-parent after the couple’s divorce.

“This is the mother of my children, and I apologize for any stress that I have caused, even in my frustration, because God calls me to be stronger,”  West said Thursday Morning. “I need this person to be less stressed and of the best, sound mind and as calm as possible to be able to raise those children at the end of the day.”

He reveals that he now has a voice in co-parenting his four children –North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm– but it was something he had to fight for. He likens finding that voice in his personal life to doing the same in his partnerships with adidas and Gap.

“I do have a voice, but I had to fight for it. That hurts you when you have to scream about what your kids are wearing,” he explained. “It was all a disregard for something I co-created. I co-created the children. I co-created the product at Adidas. I co-created the product at Gap. There’s a parallel, and the parallel does touch on discrimination.”

He claims those issues with Gap and adidas will get fixed with the help of new lawyers. Then, he plans to cut out the big legacy brands and opt for a direct-to-consumer approach. This is something that Sway infamously told him to do back in 2013, to which Kanye emphatically yelled, “You ain’t got the answers Sway!”

But now Ye realizes the radio personality was right.

“You know what,” he says with a smile. “I will go ahead and say that Sway had the answers.”

Oh, and if you thought his days of running for political office were over, you were wrong.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines.

After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
