<\/p>\nRUSH: Kanye West is in the Oval Office. He\u2019s sitting across the desk from Trump. There are a thousand media people. Well, not a thousand. But the video frame here is full of nothing but press. Cameras. Trump is sitting there not saying a word. Kanye is just going nuts, being very emphatic about whatever it is he\u2019s saying.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s wearing a red Make America Great Again hat. Trump just sitting there with his arms crossed smiling and eating it up and loving it and so forth.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Kanye West has taken over the Oval Office. Donald Trump\u2019s smiling, watching, listening. Jim Brown sitting next to Kanye. Kanye does not breathe. I will guarantee you the civil rights coalitions, the CNN people referring to Kanye as a “Trump house Negro,” I guarantee you they are exploding right now. Kanye West is bam, bam, bam, issue after issue after issue, explaining why whatever he\u2019s talking about is good for America, including jobs, things Trump has been doing. Somebody needs to get him a new phone, though. Kanye\u2019s using an old iPhone. I mean, I notice those things.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, we have the Kanye in the Oval Office sound bites. And we have — let\u2019s see — one, two, three, four five of them. We have not edited this. I mean, there are some questionable terms and words, but Cookie said, “You want to edit it? He says ‘balls\u2019 and ‘BS\u2019?” and I said, “Leave it in. Get it up and running. It\u2019s Kanye West. People know what\u2019s going on.” “But, Rush! But, Rush! It was in the Oval Office!” “I know it was. I know it was. CNN aired it and so forth.”<\/p>\n
I guarantee you heads exploding all over the place because of this!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Kanye, at the end of the day, got up and hugged Trump and said, “I love this man. I love this man.” I guarantee you, CNN\u2019s trying to come up with something besides “house Negro” now to describe the guy. That\u2019s how they were trying to denigrate him last night. Jim Brown, the football great from the Cleveland Browns, was sitting there watching all this. Okay, so here we go. They were scheduled to have lunch anyway. But Trump brings Kanye and Jim Brown into the Oval Office — and, as usual, here comes the media, primarily cameras — still cameras and video — and there were some reporters in there. And let\u2019s just get started.<\/p>\n
WEST: I think it\u2019s the bravery that helps you beat this game called life. You know, they tried to scare me to not wear this hat. My own friends! But this hat, it gives me power, in a way. My dad and my mom separated. So I didn\u2019t have a lot of male energy in my home. And also I\u2019m married to a family that, um…<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: (chuckles)<\/p>\n
WEST: You know, not a lot of male energy going on.<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: (chuckles)<\/p>\n
WEST: It\u2019s beautiful, though!<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: (chuckles)<\/p>\n
WEST: But there\u2019s times where, you know, it\u2019s something about… I love Hillary. I love everyone, right? But the campaign “I\u2019m With Her” just didn\u2019t make me feel, as a guy that didn\u2019t get to see my dad all the time, like a guy that could play catch with his son. There was something about when I put this hat on. It made me feel like Superman. That\u2019s my favorite superhero! And you made a Superman cape for me. Also as a guy, that looks up to you, looks up to Ralph Lauren, and looks up to American industry guys. Nonpolitical. No bullshit! Put the beep on it. However you want to do it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It\u2019s kind of odd to hear that in the Oval Office. Cookie said, “But, Rush, he\u2019s nuts!” I said, “That doesn\u2019t matter. He\u2019s our nut today.” But there he is. Notice he says (summarized), “I love Hillary. I love everybody, but that campaign, ‘I\u2019m With Her\u2019 just didn\u2019t make if he feel as a guy that I wanted see my dad and go out and play catch. But when I put on the Trump MAGA hat, I felt like a superhero! I felt like Superman when I put on the Make America Great Again cap.” Oh, they\u2019re gonna hate this. They\u2019re just gonna hate this. He next says… I think Kanye, like pretty much every celebrity and quasi-athlete, has a deal with Nike. But Kanye says that Trump inspired him to move over to Adidas.<\/p>\n
WEST: You gave me the heart to go to Adidas. When I went in, in 2015, we were a $14 billion company losing $2 billion a year. Now we have a $38 billion market cap. It\u2019s called the Yeezy Effect, and I went to Kasper [R?rsted] — we had a meeting in Chicago — and I said, “You have to bring manufacturing onshore into the core.” It\u2019s not about the border. It\u2019s the core of Adidas, and Chicago is the core of Middle America. We have to make Middle America strong. So I had the balls, because I have enough balls to put on this hat? The Adidas thing made me a billionaire, and I could have lost $200 million walking away from that deal. It was more important for me to take the chance of walking away from that deal than to have no fathers in Chicago with no homes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You kind of sit there and shudder when Kanye lets loose here, when you gotta have the “whatevers” to go… But what he\u2019s talking about here… (interruption) You game? (interruption) Yeah, I think I know what he\u2019s talking about. You don\u2019t? (interruption) You don\u2019t know what he\u2019s saying here? Okay, let me… (interruption) Okay. Okay. Well, here… (interruption) Here it is. (summarized) “You gave me the heart to go to Adidas. When I went in, we\u2019re a $14 billion company losing $2 billion a year,” meaning he invested in it.<\/p>\n
Now Adidas… Because Trump advised him to go to Adidas, now it\u2019s a $38 billion market cap. At a meeting, he told Adidas they gotta bring manufacturing back to America. Following Trump\u2019s initiative, he told Adidas, “You want me in? We gotta manufacture in America so bring it to Chicago. That\u2019s the core of Middle America. We have to make middle America strong,” and he says, “I could have lost $200 million walking away from this. I could have lost those kind…” (interruption) He\u2019s basically trying to say that Trump\u2019s advice helped him save Adidas by bring Adidas manufacturing onshore and took \u2019em from a net loss to a net positive $38 billion market cap. Then he says, which I\u2019m sure that you\u2019ll have no trouble understanding, is he\u2019s bipolar.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
WEST: I was diagnosed as bipolar disorder. I was connected with a neuropsychologist that works with the athletes in the NBA and the NFL, and he looked at my brain. I\u2019m gonna go ahead drop some bombs to you: 98 percentile IQ test. I had a 75 percentile of all human beings, but it was counting eight numbers backwards and I repeated (unintelligible). I\u2019m gonna work on that. The other one 98%, Tesla, Freud. He said that I actually wasn\u2019t bipolar. I had sleep deprivation which could cause dementia 10 or 20 years from now where I wouldn\u2019t even remember my son\u2019s name.<\/p>\n
RUSH: So do you understand that? He\u2019s saying some shrink told him he was bipolar. And the shrink was wrong. And they looked into his brain and they found out that he has a very high IQ. He\u2019s up there with Tesla and he\u2019s up there with Einstein — Freud, not Einstein; Tesla and Freud — and then they told him that he wasn\u2019t bipolar, he had sleep deprivation. And that was gonna cause dementia. So he got all that fixed. I don\u2019t know. Sleep deprivation? Maybe was sleep apnea. Who knows what that was.<\/p>\n
Trump was just sitting there with his arms folded. (interruption) I don\u2019t know. No, Trump was smiling whale all this was going on. I\u2019ll tell you one thing. I\u2019ll tell you one thing. This was not screened. Obviously, nobody knew what was gonna happen here. They rolled the dice on this. You agree with that? (interruption) Okay. They mocked him on Saturday Night Live. They made fun of him, Kanye, on Saturday Night Live and they constantly do Trump. So now he\u2019s talking about Saturday Night Live and Trump.<\/p>\n
WEST: What I need Saturday Night Live to improve or I need the liberals to improve on is, “If he doesn\u2019t look good, we don\u2019t look good.” This is our president! He has to be the president, the fliest, the fliest planes, the best factories, and we have to make our core be in power. We have to bring jobs into America, because our best export is entertainment and ideas, but when we make everything in China and not in America, then we\u2019re cheating on our country and we\u2019re putting people in positions that have to do illegal things to end up in the cheapest factory ever: The prison system!<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. You\u2019re on your own on that one. (interruption) That one you get? (interruption) It\u2019s okay. Explain that one, that one I don\u2019t get. Tell me what he said. Very quickly, what was he saying? (interruption) Okay. If we don\u2019t have… (interruption) Oh! Okay. If we don\u2019t have jobs, people end up in prison, which is the cheapest factory there is. All right. (interruption) You like that one? (interruption) Okay. (interruption) Well, yeah, yeah. (interruption) Okay. Now final one. When it was over, Trump was almost speechless.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: I tell you what, that was pretty impressive.<\/p>\n
GUESTS: (laughter)<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: I hate to say this, Jim. You want to say something?<\/p>\n
GUESTS: (laughter)<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: What do you do after that?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Jim didn\u2019t say anything. Jim Brown remained seated, saying nothing. Trump said, “I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re gonna say to that, Jim.” Anyway, so what do you think Kanye\u2019s purpose was here? I think Kanye was attempting to, in his own, show his support for Trump. He got up and hugged him. “I love this man.” I don\u2019t know. These people are always seeking cameras and PR opportunities. You can\u2019t take that out of this equation, either. But say whatever you want, he can\u2019t get there unless Trump invites him, and it was a sc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
