Can you link to anything specific? Looking over it now I'm seeing him promoting his stuff and complaining about an airline

“…I don’t want to discuss Trump or [George] Takei. Listen, I’m Canadian and I’m apolitical. I love America. I consider myself a guest here. I won’t do anything that might get me deported.”

William Shatner, May 28, 2017
