Kanye wants to arrange meeting between Kaepernick, Trump

Warning: Story contains coarse language

Kanye West says he's reached out to Colin Kaepernick in an attempt to set up a meeting between the former NFL quarterback and President Donald Trump.

Appearing on "TMZ Live" on Monday, West said he hopes to help the men settle their differences by bringing them together.

"I've been calling Colin this morning, reaching him so I can bring Colin to the White House and we can remove that 'sons of bitches' statement," West said. "And we can be on the same page."

Trump made the statement during a rally in Huntsville, Ala. last year in reference to Kaepernick and other NFL players who have protested during the national anthem.

"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners when someone disrespects our flag? Get that son of a bitch off the field right now," Trump told the crowd. "He's fired. HE'S FIRED!"
