RUSH TRANSCRIPT Kanye West ░░░░░░░░ officially filed to get ░░░░░░░░ name on the ballot ░░░░░░░░ a presidential candidate in ░░░░░░░░ Since he announced his ░░░░░░░░ last month he has ░░░░░░░░ mixed success It s ░░░░░░░░ increasingly clear he s ░░░░░░░░ help from Republicans and ░░░░░░░░ supporters leading some to ░░░░░░░░ whether Mr West is ░░░░░░░░ used to try to ░░░░░░░░ votes away from Biden ░░░░░░░░ m joined by political ░░░░░░░░ and Washington contrib You ░░░░░░░░ and Ben Jacobs reporter ░░░░░░░░ New York Magazine Where ░░░░░░░░ West has gotten on ░░░░░░░░ ballots in the status ░░░░░░░░ far He s qualified ░░░░░░░░ in Oklahoma fully Pending ░░░░░░░░ West Virginia Vermont Missouri ░░░░░░░░ Colorado Ohio Some of ░░░░░░░░ states are swing and ░░░░░░░░ it in Florida How ░░░░░░░░ is this effort clearly ░░░░░░░░ Republican operatives some of ░░░░░░░░ were seen going in ░░░░░░░░ bringing ballots in to ░░░░░░░░ him on the ballot ░░░░░░░░ Wisconsin It s certainly ░░░░░░░░ enough that there is ░░░░░░░░ concerted effort to get ░░░░░░░░ on the ballots in ░░░░░░░░ states where one Republican ░░░░░░░░ the Milwaukee journal sentinel ░░░░░░░░ they thought Kanye West ░░░░░░░░ get 100 000 votes ░░░░░░░░ the state It is ░░░░░░░░ how he s doing ░░░░░░░░ process seems to be ░░░░░░░░ taking place on autopilot ░░░░░░░░ any real involvement from ░░░░░░░░ candidate But it s ░░░░░░░░ And his name is ░░░░░░░░ to be on the ░░░░░░░░ in some of these ░░░░░░░░ Yeah I mean it ░░░░░░░░ clear that Republicans in ░░░░░░░░ to win understand they ░░░░░░░░ to recreate the similar ░░░░░░░░ that Donald Trump had ░░░░░░░░ 2016 They need to ░░░░░░░░ about Joe Biden and ░░░░░░░░ him a hated figure ░░░░░░░░ hasn t really worked ░░░░░░░░ far The media hasn ░░░░░░░░ taken the bait on ░░░░░░░░ of the garbage they ░░░░░░░░ tried to throw on ░░░░░░░░ And they need there ░░░░░░░░ be a Jill Stein ░░░░░░░░ of anything your Trump ░░░░░░░░ 47 of the vote ░░░░░░░░ Wisconsin Jill Stein only ░░░░░░░░ 1 of the vote ░░░░░░░░ that added up to ░░░░░░░░ 000 votes Trump only ░░░░░░░░ by 22 000 votes ░░░░░░░░ he could somehow get ░░░░░░░░ third person in there ░░░░░░░░ people could vote for ░░░░░░░░ of Biden he could ░░░░░░░░ those conditions Absolutely joy ░░░░░░░░ that to your understanding ░░░░░░░░ plan That s what ░░░░░░░░ appears to be I ░░░░░░░░ the dynamics that existed ░░░░░░░░ 2016 that assisted Donald ░░░░░░░░ in being elected do ░░░░░░░░ exist this time around ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden in my ░░░░░░░░ And if you look ░░░░░░░░ Jill Stein and the ░░░░░░░░ she had in several ░░░░░░░░ states it is very ░░░░░░░░ that the numbers would ░░░░░░░░ assist Donald Trump Kanye ░░░░░░░░ may not show up ░░░░░░░░ Wisconsin He may not ░░░░░░░░ up in Michigan or ░░░░░░░░ But the fact that ░░░░░░░░ is on the ballot ░░░░░░░░ he could indeed get ░░░░░░░░ away from Biden Maybe ░░░░░░░░ s 44 000 votes ░░░░░░░░ which I believe he ░░░░░░░░ in Michigan That could ░░░░░░░░ enough joy to impact ░░░░░░░░ tilt the race in ░░░░░░░░ Trump s favor That ░░░░░░░░ to be something that ░░░░░░░░ Biden campaign should be ░░░░░░░░ a lot of attention ░░░░░░░░ Yeah Let me play ░░░░░░░░ you Kanye West during ░░░░░░░░ Charleston South Carolina rally ░░░░░░░░ this nation campaign for ░░░░░░░░ This was on July ░░░░░░░░ Take a listen Tubman ░░░░░░░░ actually freed the slaves ░░░░░░░░ just had them work ░░░░░░░░ other people Those that ░░░░░░░░ mental illness or even ░░░░░░░░ behavior know that the ░░░░░░░░ is powerless unless the ░░░░░░░░ is a minor People ░░░░░░░░ are unaware or far ░░░░░░░░ from this experience can ░░░░░░░░ judgment and not understand ░░░░░░░░ the individual themselves has ░░░░░░░░ engage in the process ░░░░░░░░ getting help no matter ░░░░░░░░ hard family and friends ░░░░░░░░ A lot of people ░░░░░░░░ that Kanye West is ░░░░░░░░ used because Republicans can ░░░░░░░░ get him on the ░░░░░░░░ in places where young ░░░░░░░░ disaffected people may put ░░░░░░░░ Kanye West because it ░░░░░░░░ not Joe Biden We ░░░░░░░░ Kanye West is a ░░░░░░░░ supporter We know he ░░░░░░░░ millions of dollars from ░░░░░░░░ ppp program which is ░░░░░░░░ to go to small ░░░░░░░░ He got that money ░░░░░░░░ he does have a ░░░░░░░░ and a political interest ░░░░░░░░ Trump being re elected ░░░░░░░░ you have any reporting ░░░░░░░░ states that it is ░░░░░░░░ just his mental health ░░░░░░░░ s at work here ░░░░░░░░ is his own personal ░░░░░░░░ political interests I don ░░░░░░░░ have any specific reporting ░░░░░░░░ The one thing he ░░░░░░░░ been vocal about is ░░░░░░░░ pro life He talked ░░░░░░░░ that in South Carolina ░░░░░░░░ it s also hard ░░░░░░░░ see where this is ░░░░░░░░ because obviously there is ░░░░░░░░ significant side of the ░░░░░░░░ who has been inclined ░░░░░░░░ vote for a celebrity ░░░░░░░░ says controversial things The ░░░░░░░░ question I guess to ░░░░░░░░ Is there a belief ░░░░░░░░ of the Trump world ░░░░░░░░ this will actually work ░░░░░░░░ he will pull enough ░░░░░░░░ away from Biden that ░░░░░░░░ it allow Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ sweep a state like ░░░░░░░░ From my understanding I ░░░░░░░░ with a friend of ░░░░░░░░ who has very close ░░░░░░░░ with the Trump campaign ░░░░░░░░ told me there are ░░░░░░░░ people on the inside ░░░░░░░░ that are hoping that ░░░░░░░░ is the result Joy ░░░░░░░░ have to ask ourselves ░░░░░░░░ majority of the state ░░░░░░░░ this point is already ░░░░░░░░ trying to get on ░░░░░░░░ ballot as a presidential ░░░░░░░░ There are only a ░░░░░░░░ remaining It is an ░░░░░░░░ process an exhaustive process ░░░░░░░░ is paying for this ░░░░░░░░ are all legitimate questions ░░░░░░░░ have to be asked ░░░░░░░░ at this point in ░░░░░░░░ no serious candidate would ░░░░░░░░ to do what Mr ░░░░░░░░ is trying to do ░░░░░░░░ is no other tho
