	Description:		As polls show Republicans continuing to slip behind in the lead up to the midterms, President Trump has taken to the offensive, reviving his off-script and sometimes unhinged campaign rallies. But as his ratings decline, Trump's favorite network Fox News has stopped airing some of his speeches live. Will this pose a problem for a President obsessed with optics? Trump returned to Fox for a remarkable 47-minute phone interview Thursday morning. And brought Kanye West to the Oval Office later in the afternoon. Professor and Author Michael Eric Dyson joined The Beat to explain why Kanye acted as a "ventriloquist" of white supremacy. Meanwhile, the Mueller probe continues behind the scenes, with new reporting pointing to a connection between Michael Flynn and a GOP operative intent on finding Clinton's emails. And Cynthia Germanotta, Lady Gaga's mother and the co-founder of her Born This Way Foundation, joined Ari to discuss World Mental Health Day and the fight against mental health stigma.
