And frankly, what I say, and oftentimes it's fun, it's kidding. We have a good time. What I say is what I say. And honestly Megyn, if you don't like it, I'm sorry. I've been very nice to you, although I could probably maybe not be, based on the way you have treated me. But I wouldn't do that. Annotated transcript: The Aug. 6 GOP debate - The Washington Post

This comment started out fairly hostile, but Trump checked himself, smiled, and finished more playfully than he began.

This was a wise audible. Attacking Megyn Kelly directly and with malice would not have played well.

Something about this strikes me as incredibly condescending. What exactly does Trump think he’s owed, by a debate moderator, on account of being “nice” to her? It’s not my chromosome to call him out for sexism, but it sounded ugly nonetheless.

KELLY: Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women's looks. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president, and how will you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton, who was likely to be the Democratic nominee, that you are ...

Fox News opened the broadcast with a pretty awkward miscue

With the debate scheduled to begin at 9pm, they invited the candidates to the stage at 8:52.

It turned out they budgeted too much time, and the cameras kept rolling.

The hosts struggled to improvise, and after a few rough minutes Megyn Kelly finally cracked and said something like “We will now start again in a minute, at 9, when Americans expect the broadcast. We’ll do a clean start to the broadcast”

It was great!

At one point, Trump boasted about how much veterans adore him. To prove it, he trotted out a gorgeous brunette who was carrying a perfect stack of white paper topped with a bow. I swear it looked like an unwrapped package of blank Hammermill printer paper. “In one day,” Trump blared, “many hundreds of letters from Vietnam vets, thanking me. This is from veterans. Each page, a different letter. It’s amazing.” Inside Donald Trump’s Surging GOP Campaign | GQ

I got to the theater just six minutes before the play started and spotted Rudd sitting in the third row: tweed jacket, pants of no importance, museum-quality forehead. The seats on either side of him were occupied. An usher investigated. It turned out the woman on Rudd’s left had misread the tiny print on her ticket; she moved over, and I shuffled in. ‘‘I was star... How Does Paul Rudd Work? - The New York Times

William “Worldwide Wes” Wesley is considered one of the most influential businessmen in sports, especially basketball. “Check me” is a basketball term that means to “challenge me.” By saying “you can never check me,” Drake continues the basketball analogy by belittling Meek.

This is the second time Drake has personally mentioned Wes in a song. In his verse on Mary J. Blige’s “The One,” he says:

Wes put me on the marquee flight life
Plus I go hard for the woman that I might wife

And of course, Jay Z shouted out Wes on Drake’s “Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2”:

Shout out to World Wide Wes
Everywhere we go, we leave a worldwide mess

To “check” someone in basketball means to guard them. Drake is continuing the basketball analogy by saying that Meek could not stop him from scoring on the court.

It should also be worth noting that William Wesley is from Camden, NJ – which is right on the other side of the river across from Philly (Meek’s hometown.)
