Video Summary
AI GeneratedDonald Trump appears on a talk show to discuss the assassination attempt in Butler, his views on media bias, and his political strategies. He reflects on mortality, critiques the current administration's border policies, and discusses his relationship with various voting blocs, the working class, and his personal habits.
All right, all right.
First of all, I would like to apologize
to tonight's audience and the viewers at home.
We will not be airing
the Steve Doocy cooking segment tonight.
We apologize to Mr. Doocy,
but you'll still be able to get his new book,
Cooking with Crisco, for free.
Instead, we have a very special show tonight,
so let's welcome our guest.
She's still quite humorous with a fetus in her uterus.
New York Times Best Selling Author,
She's from San Francisco,
but still appreciates indoor plumbing.
Co-host of Outnumbered, Emily Campagno.
His deltoid can deflect an asteroid.
New York Times Best Selling Author, comedian,
and former N.W.A. World Champion, Tyrance.
And he loves Diet Coke, but hates the woke.
Choosing this insanity over Sean Hannity.
Let's crank it up to 11 for President 45 and 47.
The man who finally made it.
So, Mr. P, how's your golf game?
Well, I haven't been thinking about it too much lately.
I always said golf is a very dangerous game.
It really is.
It really is, especially if they're playing with you.
Yeah, that's true.
What, that was a mean joke?
Pretty sad.
If they had told you that the shooter was there,
would you have tried to take him out with your three wood?
I think so, I think so, if I knew.
Actually, the Secret Service did a great job.
They saw the barrel of a gun, big gun,
and it came out through bushes.
And how many people would see that?
He really was very exceptional to have done it.
And we've been going through a lot of it.
We're getting very good at it,
but I don't want to say that too loudly
because we don't want to bring any jinxes along, Tyrus.
I mean, at least he could have yelled four.
This is not a good thing to have practice at.
You're getting really good
at stopping assassinations of Donald Trump.
It's great, but I want to ask you,
so Kamala Harris and the president, Joe Biden,
if he's still president, we don't know,
they called you after you got shot at
and to wish you well, to say all these nice things,
but they're the same people that moments before
say you're a threat to democracy,
an existential threat, worse than Hitler.
Does that mean that everything they say is full of...
Well, you know, both of the shooters,
one is dead and the other one is in prison.
And it was really a great work, again, by Secret Service.
And a woman who saw somebody running
and running for the car because he was caught
and the Secret Service agents started shooting at him,
didn't do any talking, said just,
that's a barrel of a gun started shooting,
which was amazing, that he saw it
and then he started shooting.
And so this man is running to the car
and a woman is, a woman, of course,
woman's always a woman, right?
We just found out, yeah.
No, but how smart.
Who would do this?
She sees somebody running
and she didn't like the way he looked.
He looked very suspicious and followed him
and took the car, parked it right behind his
and started taking pictures of the license plate.
Who would do that?
A Karen.
And then sent the picture to the sheriff,
who's a great sheriff of Palm Beach County
and sent the pictures to the sheriff's office
and they got him in a high-speed chase down the highway.
But who would do that?
I mean, out of a thousand incidents,
would that ever happen?
And they said, very rarely a thing like that.
So she's very much of a heroine, right?
Heroine.
Yeah.
You know, it blows my mind,
like how you take these events so,
not lightly, but it's almost casually.
The way, like, I get more angry, you know,
when my pant pocket gets caught on a doorknob.
I get angrier about that than you get angry
about getting shot at.
It doesn't, how do you process that?
Well, number one, do I have a choice?
Yeah.
What am I gonna do, right?
Yeah.
Do we have a choice?
But, you know, it's interesting.
I was thinking a lot about it
over the last period of time, since Butler.
And being president is a very dangerous job.
Because with a race car driver, it's a dangerous job.
It's like 1 10th of 1% die.
With a bull rider,
I think bull riding looks pretty scary, right?
It's a little bit more than that, die.
With a president, what is it, 6% or 7%?
It's the most dangerous profession there is.
So if you wanna be president,
I have a lot of friends that wanted to run.
They're thinking about maybe not doing it.
But here's the only good thing,
is that it's always a consequential president
that gets shot at.
And fortunately, so far, I've been very lucky.
Or something is greater than all of us.
Ooh.
Something is up there, someone is up there,
maybe watching over us.
I think he's voting for you.
Yeah.
It's funny, I always thought the most dangerous job
was feeding the view.
But you bring up God, you bring up God,
and you've almost been killed twice.
Do you think more about your own mortality
and what happens after you move on?
Yeah, not about mortality,
but I do think more about God,
because, okay, Butler was really the greatest of all.
If I'm not looking over there,
and I mean a full turn, exactly 90 degrees,
I wouldn't be here right now.
And your ratings would be a little bit lower, perhaps.
We'd have kill me there.
We have to tell the story of how we first met,
the ratings over, remember that one week
he just played that thing?
But I do think about that, because the chart,
it was basically an immigration chart.
We had our lowest numbers that we've ever had
in immigration.
And I never, I very rarely use it, maybe 15, 20%.
It's always on my left,
and it's always at the end of a speech.
So now, I said, bring down the chart,
right at the very beginning,
almost like the first sentence of the speech.
Bring down that chart,
because immigration's such a big thing now,
with our country being basically taken over
by Venezuela and lots of other people.
So I said, bring down the chart,
and the chart drops down,
and I go, look at those numbers,
and I look over to the right,
and ping, and that was that,
I knew something was definitely wrong.
And it was a mess.
I touched, I said, that's unusual.
Do you remember when you showed it to me?
I showed it.
Yeah, you showed it to me,
said, I know people aren't gonna believe this,
so, Gutfeld, take a look at my ear.
That's right, you know,
I met, we met at the convention.
Yeah.
And I said, who am I gonna show it to?
You know, we have a lot of guys.
You know, they'll say it didn't exist.
And I actually did have such confidence in him,
and he's really a very special guy,
talented guy, good guy, great guy.
And I said, you know, if I'm gonna show it,
let's do it with Gutfeld.
Yes.
And?
That's amazing.
Because it happened right after.
Yeah, how did you get him to see the top of your ear?
Well, I sat, I sat in a low chair.
Okay, thank you.
But you know what, it was true,
and I took the bandages off very carefully,
and I showed him, he said, that's nasty.
Yes.
That was nasty, but it healed up.
I kind of wanted to touch it,
but I knew I would've been tackled.
And I would've enjoyed it.
But it's interesting to see the response
to this second attempt.
Every time you're under a bigger threat,
the media still blames you even more.
It's almost as though they don't see their own role in this.
What do you make, have you just basically
accepted this as a fact?
I think so, yeah.
Look, the media is extremely dishonest,
extremely corrupt, actually.
Look at the debate.
I walked off, I said, that's the bait.
You know, they said I'm the goat in debates,
because I had a lot of debates, and I became president,
and the goat means greatest of all time.
He's a goat, but what a great state.
And I walked off that stage,
and I thought I had the best debate.
And I was very unfairly treated by the anchor.
I'm not fans of those guys anymore.
And his hair was better five years ago than it is now.
That happens, that happens with the clock.
You mean, who among us?
That happens with the clock.
But you know, they came at me on everything, like crime.
I said, the crime is rampant.
He said, crime is down.
I said, crime is down?
Who would think it's, without even knowing,
and I was right.
The following day, DOJ announced numbers.
I don't know who it was in DOJ,
but somebody over there likes me,
that crime is up 45%,
murder's up numbers like you wouldn't even believe.
And anybody would know that without even seeing charts,
but it turned out to be a false attack.
They attacked the word, the bloodbath.
That was referring to the auto industry.
You know all these things.
Charlottesville was totally debunked by everybody,
including Laura.
Laura did a whole show on it, how it's so ridiculous.
And even Snopes, which is a left-wing site.
That's right, they even said.
But all of them, and they didn't correct her once,
and they corrected me everything I said, practically,
I think nine times or 11 times.
And the audience was absolutely, they went crazy.
And the real, I thought it was, I walked off,
I said, that was a great debate, I loved it.
You know, you got a lot of people watching,
I guess we had 75 million people watching,
something like that.
And you have to do well, you can't do badly.
For instance, Biden didn't do so well
in the previous debate, because I had the two debates.
I had one, we actually had two debates.
I had one against a man, and then they said,
he's not doing well, take him out, put in a new one.
And if she doesn't do well,
I wonder if they're gonna take her out.
Just keep putting, and let's see
if we can get it right eventually.
No, but a thing like that's never happened before.
It's never, you know, it's like a fighter.
He knows more about fighting, but I love the fighting.
We love Dana White, all those guys.
And Dana is great.
Well, your history in boxing is second to none.
I'm more, Mike Tyson fights than anybody.
Mike is great and all great.
And they're, you know, amazing people, really.
It's a very hard thing to be a fighter.
Number one, you have to be able to take
hundreds of shots to the face within a couple of rounds
and enjoy going out for the fifth round.
There aren't a lot of guys,
a lot of great athletes have tried to be fighters.
It doesn't work out so well.
Very rarely does it work out.
But this was something that was a very special moment.
I thought this was a tremendous debate.
And when you look at it, you know, it's interesting.
Now that they're reviewing it,
it was all word salad from her.
The first question I said, what kind of an answer is that?
But the fake news said, oh, she did well.
No matter what you do, if I were Winston Churchill,
he was a great debater, by the way,
and an elegant debater, if I were Winston Churchill,
they would say, well, he was okay,
but he wasn't special tonight.
That was the kind of stuff.
You were exactly the same as the previous debate.
That's what, if you look at it, there was, yeah,
there was no difference.
I actually wanted that attitude.
You and I have different attitudes, right?
And you never know about debate.
It's a little like Mike Tyson said.
He said, everybody has a plan
until they get punched in the face.
And there's a lot of truth to that, right?
Oh, yeah, and you walked in,
you caught three before you even said hello to you.
Well, I mean, I had people telling me
that I'm wrong about things where I'm totally right.
I was right about just about all of that stuff
that they were correcting me.
And I think my only regret is that I wanted to be elegant
and I didn't want to go after the anchors.
I wish I did, in a way.
Yes.
That's our job.
That's your job.
We took care of them.
All right, we gotta take a quick break
and then we're gonna come back with more
from the future president.
It's coming your way.
Hey, hey.
It's video, hey, hey, hey.
Celebs can't quit Donald Trump.
Roll it.
Have you thought about the possibility
he might use the power of the federal government
against you personally?
Yeah, I have, but I just, I'm comforted in the fact
that he's coming after you first.
Clooney should get out of politics
and go back to television.
You know what, I will if he does.
I don't hate the guy.
I hate the people who vote for him.
I think they're stupid.
I don't think, I do.
I'll be honest with you.
I have no respect for you.
You could be president.
Do you ever think about anything like that?
No.
Really, never?
No.
Why?
I wouldn't make a good president.
You don't think you'd be good?
I wouldn't really pass any of the things
that you have to pass, but I guess Trump did it.
Yeah, no.
Well, that didn't age well for either of them.
So, Mr. Trump, the thing that, I think there's a,
my theory is that famous people don't like it
when their fame is put in proper perspective,
when it's dwarfed by somebody with more fame.
So they prefer to be on the hierarchy of fame.
They want to be on top.
I noticed a lot of these guys,
that's, it's an emotional response
to the fact that you're bigger, more well-known.
Does that make sense?
Well, I watch, I know some of them,
and like Howard, I was on Howard Stern's show
as much as anybody, and he was great at that time,
and then he went woke.
And since he's gone woke,
his ratings have gone down in the tubes,
and he sort of went anti-Trump for a couple of reasons,
but I was on his show a lot.
He has a best of.
Did you ever see the best of?
Best of Howard Stern?
I don't want to promote it necessarily,
but, and I was there for just about all of them,
the best of.
We had good shows, he was good,
but he's changed, and he doesn't do the ratings anymore.
No, he doesn't.
He doesn't have to.
He's almost finished.
Kat, do you remember Howard Stern?
No, but I was, but you've been on every show.
I mean, you've been on TV a lot.
A lot of shows.
I mean, would you rule out, I'm not saying now,
but would you ever rule out doing reality TV again?
Like, what about hosting Love Island?
So, you know, I had The Apprentice for 12 years.
Oh, I know.
14 seasons for 12 years, a lot of time.
They wanted to renew me for five years.
They were all set to do it,
and I didn't want to do it.
I wanted to run for,
I said I wanted to run for president.
Mark Burnett, who's a great guy,
and you know, the producer and all,
and all of the people from NBC,
everybody came up to see me to talk me out of running.
They said, it's not possible to win.
Nobody's ever done that.
I mean, and nobody ever gives up primetime show.
It was a big hit,
and they wanted to do a five-year extension.
I said, no, that's actually when I knew I was gonna do it,
and I mean, I loved doing The Apprentice.
It was so successful.
The big question is, did it make a difference?
Would I have been president?
You know, a lot of people say,
they created this guy from The Apprentice,
and I don't know if that's true,
because they chose me because of the, you know, the success.
What was your chemistry with Bret Michaels?
Bret Michaels was a character.
We had great characters, and we learned a lot about,
I mean, we had Dennis Rodman was great.
Oh, he was fantastic.
And we had tremendous characters on the show.
We had a lot of, I mean, everybody was helped, basically,
by being on The Apprentice, but I just wanted to do it.
I saw what was happening with the country.
The country was going bad,
and now what they've done with the border and the wall
and the whole thing, I could have built an extra 200 miles.
I built much more than I said
I was gonna build, and it worked.
I had the Mexican government giving us 28,000 troops.
We had so many Mexican troops, they had no choice.
They had to.
Otherwise, I said, I'm gonna put tariffs on your cars
that you stole from.
You know, they stole 32% of our car industry, okay,
you know, which is not, we'll get it back.
Don't worry about it.
But you know, I really felt I wanted to do it
because we can make our country,
the Make America Great Again is such a great mega,
it's such a great tag.
And I watched Biden where he was very angry at MAGA.
He said, we've gotta stop MAGA.
And I'm saying, it's Make America Great Again.
You know, it sort of doesn't work so well, right?
Make America Great Again.
And that's what we're gonna do.
If you think of it, we have 21, I believe it's 21.
They say 16, but what difference?
I mean, it's a lot of people,
more people than any country could sustain.
21 million people, many come out of jails and prisons,
slight difference between one being a little bit more harsh.
They come out of mental institutions and insane asylums.
They come out of terrorist schools.
They come literally out of schools, but they're terrorists.
We have people coming from gangs,
the worst gangs in the world, MS-13,
considered the meanest gang.
They cut people up.
They don't wanna use guns.
They attacked two young 16-year-old beautiful girls
walking to school.
They cut them up with a knife.
They didn't wanna shoot them because it wasn't painful.
They both died.
And these people are coming out into our country.
And now you look at what's happening
in like Aurora in Colorado.
Venezuela, Venezuelan gangs are taking over the real estate.
They're becoming real estate developers.
And they have-
Do they get little cards?
They have whatever they want.
You know, like a little real estate card?
Yeah.
Their little card is a bullet.
Yes.
Mr. President, can I ask you a question?
Talking about the border,
not just all the young military age men
that are coming across this country,
the fentanyl that's coming across this country.
It's terrible.
If you were in office,
would you consider taking importation of fentanyl
as a terrorist act?
Because if you count it under terrorism,
then our Department of Defense can get involved.
We give our law enforcement a break.
Correct.
Well, and you can even go further than that.
Yeah, I mean, you could send pictures of their mansions
to certain general individuals in Mexico.
And by the way, these are really rich people.
These are the cartel people.
These are really rich.
Look, we can play games,
or we can be nice, or we can be smart.
You're never gonna...
I set up blue ribbon committees.
Friends of mine, oh, could I get on a committee?
They didn't know the first thing about it.
They don't know about El Chapo.
They don't know about...
These are very smart, hardened people.
And I'm setting up a blue ribbon committee
with socialites from New York and California.
It's ridiculous.
And they don't even wanna talk about it.
They talk about it for two minutes,
then they start talking about society.
The only way you're gonna stop this
is the death penalty for drug dealers.
I don't know if this country is ready for it,
but if you think about it,
each drug dealer on average kills 500 people, on average.
He or she, drug dealer, kills five.
I know so many families who have lost a son or a daughter,
or parents even, to fentanyl.
And I had a deal worked out with China,
with President Xi directly, that he was gonna give.
You know, China has the death penalty.
I said to him, do you have a drug problem
when I first met him?
He looked at me like, what a stupid question.
He said, no, no, no, no, no drug problem.
I said, well, what do you do?
Death penalty, immediate death penalty.
And I said, hmm, that sounds.
He said, without it, I talked to him a lot about it.
He said, without it.
You know, China was a drug-loaded country years ago.
Other countries, much smaller, would take it over
because they were all drugged out
with the opium and the poppy.
And they had a big problem.
But they execute drug dealers.
They have absolutely no drug problem.
Singapore has no drug problem.
And it's not nice to talk about,
but it's the only way you're gonna solve the problem.
You're never gonna have,
now we got it down to great numbers, the lowest numbers,
but the wall helped, a lot of things helped.
But in terms of a drug, getting a drug-free country,
you can't have that unless you have
the death penalty for the dealers.
All right, we gotta take a break.
Taking it as a maybe on Love Island.
All right, up next, media tools think Kamala rules.
A story in five words.
Kamala says some more nonsense, roll it.
Hello to all.
It was school photo day.
You remember what that's like?
You really ought to understand at a very deep level
how much your words have meaning.
A future where we can see the world
and see what is possible, unburdened by what has been.
We can see what is possible, unburdened by what has been.
Unburdened by what has been.
Well, do you, there's an objective crowd.
All right, it's hard to kind of figure out
what she's saying.
Why doesn't anybody ever ask a follow-up question?
Like, what do you mean?
Well, that should have happened in the debate.
And the interesting thing is it doesn't do interviews.
You would not see her come onto the show.
I can tell you right now.
We ask her now, come on this show, Kamala.
We'll have a box of wine.
She doesn't like doing interviews.
And she's not knowledgeable about economy
and various things, and I think it would be a problem.
But you know what?
He was pretty much gone.
They said, Joe, it's over, you're getting out.
And he said, I'm not getting out, you're getting out.
And they were very nasty, 25th Amendment
and everything else, he got out.
And they put her in, and she somehow, a woman,
somehow she's doing better than he did.
But I can't imagine it can last
because so weak on people coming in.
You know, she's the one, she was the Bordasar.
She allowed 21 million people to come in,
the thing we were just talking about.
And many of these people are the wrong people
for this country.
You have murderers, you have killers, you have prisoners.
Prisons are being emptied out all over the world,
not just in South America, and they're coming,
and she allowed that.
And I think eventually people are gonna figure it out.
Yeah, I hope so.
I mean, the thing is, she's got the entire media
doing PR for her, so it's like no one asks
follow-up questions, no one bothers to fact-check her.
Emily, do you have a question?
You seem like you do.
I do.
So, Mr. President, my question
is about voting bloc strategy,
and it's that we know there are 90 million evangelicals
in this country, 40 million of whom don't vote,
and 15 million of whom aren't even registered to vote.
So what's our plan to harness those votes
for you in November?
It's such an incredible statement question
because they're great people.
They're 95% for me, but they don't vote,
meaning they don't vote proportionately.
If they would vote, nobody could beat you.
And I have total support from evangelical Christians
and from other groups.
I'll tell you another group that doesn't vote,
gun owners, they don't vote.
The NRA endorse me totally every time,
but they endorse me totally.
But you look at the number of people,
I don't know what it is, they're rebellious or something?
I don't know what it is.
But evangelicals, if they voted,
there wouldn't even be an election.
You would cancel it.
If the gun owners voted, I mean,
the gun owners are just a massive proportion.
If they voted, but they vote like at 16% or something,
if the people, because they wanna take your guns away,
she wants to confiscate your guns.
She wants to take them away.
And she's now trying to get out of it.
So she had policies that,
she's now changed 14 policies about fracking.
She was totally against for 15 years fracking.
Now all of a sudden, a short while ago,
she came out in favor of fracking.
Same thing with guns.
She said, no, no, I don't wanna take your guns.
I don't wanna.
For 20 years, she's wanted to take your guns.
All of a sudden, a short while ago,
she said, no, no, I don't wanna.
One thing about a politician,
they always revert back to where they were at the beginning
because that's what their natural inclination is.
Her father is a Marxist professor.
I mean, that's the way it is.
And he's currently,
and I don't know what happened to the father,
but we haven't seen him.
I'd love to be able to talk to him.
You know, Barack Hussein Obama's brother
is supporting Trump.
This Governor Walz,
his brother and his whole family is supporting him.
In fact, they wanna make contributions to my campaign.
Well, to be fair,
a lot of brothers are supporting President Trump.
That's true.
Lay up.
That's what we do over here.
It is funny.
Walz is a strange dude.
Oh, he's a strange dude.
He is strange.
Him and I are the same age.
How does he look so much younger?
No, he's a strange guy.
Strange guy.
You know, he called up years ago.
I was in the White House.
And he said,
my house is being surrounded by people with American flags.
I said,
is that a good thing or a bad thing?
He said,
I think they're going to attack me.
This was during the riots and everything else.
They were MAGA people.
You know, they like the American flag, all right?
And they also had Trump.
And I said,
how do you know?
There were about 15,000, he said.
He said,
could you put out a word like that?
I'm your friend.
I don't even know him,
but that's the only time I ever spoke to him.
And if you look back long ago,
tweets, before truth.
Tweets.
Long ago, I put out a statement.
He's a good man, the governor.
He's on our side.
I didn't know him,
but I didn't want him to get hurt.
And everybody put down their flags and they left.
He said,
it was a miracle.
What?
He said,
it was a miracle.
I didn't want him to get hurt.
Scared by the American flag?
They just-
They are.
And they say he's not a nice guy.
I would have had fun with that.
I'm like,
call the barbecue,
go outside.
He remembers it actually.
He was a little bit nervous about things.
They had one guard.
He said,
we have one guard at the door.
It was the mansion,
the mansion from the state.
Then he said,
we have one guard at the door
and you have 15,000 people out there.
And I'm a little bit,
I don't know.
They look violent.
I said,
are they carrying the American flag?
They're not going to be violent.
But I put out a statement
and they just went back.
It was sort of a beautiful thing in a lot of ways.
That's a happy ending.
And the kind we like.
All right,
coming up.
Free thinkers unite to join Trump's fight.
We got another clip for you.
It's video of the day,
hey, hey, part two.
Our second video of the day
comes to us from RFK Jr.
During a recent event
while campaigning for president Trump,
he was asked what he thought about Trump as a person.
And he shared this amazing story.
I've known president Trump for many years.
On two occasions,
I sued him.
He was trying to build golf courses
up in the New York City reservoir watershed.
And I sued him successfully to stop that.
At one point,
my wife,
she wanted to go to Palm Beach for the weekend
to see my mom over Easter.
And I said,
I didn't wanna buy tickets for all the kids.
And she said,
what if I find a free ride?
And I said,
okay.
Then she said,
I found a free ride.
And I said,
who?
And she said,
Donald Trump.
And I said,
I'm suing him.
And she said,
he told me he knows you're suing him,
but it's okay anyway.
And we ended up flying down with him.
And I had a great time.
I still sued him.
It's such an interesting story
because you kind of separate the friendship
from the legal stuff.
It's like,
yeah, you sue me.
I get it.
That's what you do.
But I'm not like,
you wanna use my plane?
Fine.
I mean,
some people would not understand that.
Now,
I think I have been able to do that.
Otherwise I would have nobody to talk to at all.
It was,
Greg,
it was interesting.
I endorse people and my endorsement record is very good.
But sometimes I'll endorse people
that said horrible,
horrible things about me.
And people say,
do you have any idea what he said?
And I said,
you know,
if I did that,
I would never be able to endorse anybody.
Because when I first ran,
everybody was violently opposed to me.
So I would have,
I would never be able to endorse anybody.
And I like to endorse people-
I said terrible things.
If I think they're good.
Honestly,
you weren't so good at the beginning.
And I believe,
I believe we have the tape.
That's right.
I'm making my move,
Gutfeld.
Roll it.
I wanna bring up,
a friend of mine has this theory.
He says that your campaign is like a pirate ship.
You have this eclectic band of supporters
that are individuals and different,
but they're a pirate ship.
But the issue with the pirate ship is every now and then,
you get a stowaway.
So you get an odd person,
like a Scaramucci or an Amorosa.
You know,
it's like,
how do you,
when you have a pirate ship of all these different people,
how do you have any kind of control?
Or is that just the risk?
Well,
like the people that you mentioned,
I don't know them very well,
but the people that you mentioned,
they all wanna come back.
They all wanna come back.
And when you don't take them back,
I don't want them back.
Certain people I don't want back.
When you don't take them back,
they'll say anything.
They make up stories.
Yeah.
They make up stories at levels that you wouldn't believe.
Stories that bear no resemblance,
that don't exist.
It's like they're storytellers.
But when you don't take people back,
and they think of it as a glamorous life.
I think,
you know,
my whole thing,
this fear,
I don't think of it.
I just work really hard.
We have to win this election to save our country.
If we don't win this election,
I really believe our country is either finished,
or very close to it.
Because we have to turn it.
And if we don't turn it,
and turn it now,
it's gonna be too late to turn it later.
I really believe that.
That's right.
It is interesting.
On their side,
they have people like Lynne Cheney.
You know,
and,
Lynne Cheney.
Lynne Cheney,
Liz Cheney.
Yes.
No, no,
Liz Cheney.
I don't know that one.
But her older sister,
Lynne Cheney,
she's a monster.
No, it's Lynne.
No, remember?
Lynne Cheney.
She's chasing us with a broken beer bottle.
Lynne Cheney.
Oh.
But, I mean,
you have Elon Musk.
You have RFK Jr.
You have Tulsi Gabbard.
These are all really strong-willed people.
They're great people.
Elon.
Are you saying he has a diverse cabinet?
Yeah.
No,
we have great,
we have great people.
A thing just happened about 10 minutes before I walked in.
The Teamsters,
for many,
many decades,
always automatically support the Democrats.
This year,
they refused to do it.
And they took a poll,
and we got 60% in the poll,
in the Teamsters.
And they're not gonna support the Democrats this year.
They're gonna,
I guess,
remain neutral.
But that was sort of a big event.
Nobody's ever expected a thing like that to happen.
They actually took a poll of the Teamsters,
of the people,
the workers,
the people that really do the job.
And they're good.
I've had many of them work for me
with the concrete stuff.
You know,
the frames.
They drive the trucks.
So,
they just announced they're not gonna support the Democrats.
They're gonna remain neutral.
That individual poll was like 10 to one average
from employees,
yeah.
We had a tremendous advantage with the people.
And I think the people that run it,
Sean O'Brien,
who's a top guy,
he's a great guy.
But I think they said,
you know,
how can we support this person?
Meaning them.
Yeah.
But they have for decades,
I think,
I think five,
six decades.
They've never,
I mean,
it's been many,
many years since they supported a Republican,
or did this.
You're seeing an interesting flip in like,
where the Democrats used to be the party of the people.
Yeah.
And the Republicans were the country clubbers.
since you came along,
it's flipped.
It's a,
it's really interesting.
And people go,
buddy,
he's a billionaire.
But it's a billionaire from Queens.
That doesn't count.
Well,
you know,
one of the nicest things that's happened to me,
as a politician,
is that I get most of my money from people
that average $61.
Think of it.
And that's never happened to a Republican before.
It happens to Democrats,
but at a much,
it happened with Bernie Sanders.
That would be the best example,
but it's a tiny fraction of the money that I get.
We get a lot of money from people.
They average $61.
And those people all vote.
Those people,
they get,
you know,
we have some people that'll pay us like $25 a month,
every single month.
They won't miss it.
You know,
they're very committed.
There's never been a Republican where that happened too,
where you get your money.
It's called the small money.
The small money is ultimately big money
because there's so many people contributing.
you know,
that's like a great honor for me.
Yeah.
I'm like that.
It's something I always sign up for and then forget.
Like paramount.
Can I please ask a question?
Just cause I'm never going to be allowed in a room
with the president again.
Are there aliens at Area 51?
You know,
I'll tell you,
it's a funny thing because,
I think that might be a question that I get more than any
question.
It is the craziest thing.
So we have that so-called area.
They consider it like a sacred area.
And I will say this.
I don't think I'm a believer,
but I've interviewed pilots that look,
I like Tom Cruise,
but better than Tom Cruise.
The blonde crew cuts,
the whole,
and this,
yes sir.
And they were in the Oval Office,
three or four pilots.
These are not people that make up stories.
These are,
they said,
all I know,
sir,
is there was a round object that was going four times
faster than my F-22,
which is a very fast plane.
And it wasn't,
you know,
it shouldn't have been,
it was round,
sir.
They have seen,
I mean,
four or five guys I've interviewed,
solid people,
great pilots for the US Air Force,
et cetera.
They've seen things that they cannot explain.
So there's something.
Also a maybe,
at the end.
Follow up question,
A maybe.
Follow up.
If,
in fact,
there are aliens,
would you be willing to put tariffs on them
to help us with the economy?
I'm not just going to fly down in here.
We're going to have more fun,
because we've got questions from the audience coming up.
We've got some questions from the audience.
They were just submitted.
Evangeline has a good one.
What is something people would be surprised
to learn about you?
Oh,
that's a dangerous question.
What do we not know about you?
I got a call from a couple of people.
Could you please be careful on this show?
You're going to have a good time.
We don't need scandals.
We're doing very,
we're leading in the polls.
Every one of,
we don't need any scandals.
So maybe I shouldn't answer that question.
How about this?
Do you wear pajamas?
I don't.
Okay.
Do you own blue jeans?
I have.
He sleeps in the suit.
I have a very old pair that I saw,
I don't,
I doubt I fit in it.
Because we were talking about this.
I've never seen you at the beach.
We see Biden all the time at the beach.
Do you ever sunbathe?
I'll tell you this.
I just,
I see Biden too.
All he had,
somebody told him he looks great at the beach
in a bathing suit.
And I think it's terrible
when you see a president lying on the beach
on a Tuesday and a Wednesday
and he's stone cold out.
Yes.
He's out.
Yes.
Who can sleep in front of cameras
that are rolling?
In the heat.
Totally.
In the heat.
You only sleep like three hours,
right?
Well,
I don't sleep much.
I'd like to sleep more,
but probably four hours,
five hours.
Do you get a good sleep,
a solid?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah,
and nobody sleeps well.
And everybody's always trying to find the answer.
That's the purpose of this Nestle Collection,
so we can sleep well again.
That's what it is.
Yeah.
For me,
you know,
I can't wait
the one day I'm going to be able to tell my grandchildren
that the president of the United States
stole my seat.
All right.
And Mr. President,
if you're going to sit.
This was an honor.
Oh, wow.
But,
oh,
thank you for WrestleMania four and five,
by the way.
Thank you very much.
But if you're going to sit in that chair,
if you're going to do the Tyrus experience,
you have to do it right,
because you are the people's champion,
Mr. Trump.
Oh, wow.
And on behalf of all the people of America.
This is the real one.
This is a real deal.
Yeah.
No, I'm going to give a fake belt to the next president.
No, I'm not.
We're more used to that.
That's,
thank you, Tyrus.
You are the people's champion.
You're going to have to wear that on the golf course
for safety reasons.
That's a good idea,
actually.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, have you ever been fired?
Like in a regular job?
Well, you know,
I went to work for my father out of school
and he was a tough guy,
very tough,
but he liked the job I did.
So I have never experienced being fired.
Fired a lot of people.
Fired a lot of people on The Apprentice,
but fired a lot of people.
But no,
I've never experienced it.
I wouldn't like,
I wouldn't like to experience it actually.
Yeah.
I was fired three times,
so far.
Not anymore.
Well, you know,
we had,
it's true.
He didn't treat me well at all.
I know,
I saw him the whole time.
I was like,
look at this guy,
he's so mean.
No, no,
early on.
And I actually met him once at Mar-a-Lago,
I think.
And I met you at a ballroom,
at the ballroom.
They were doing a big charity.
I said,
hello,
I was very nice,
but he never treated me well.
And then I agreed to do an interview
and it was supposed to be just a quick,
I said,
look,
this guy is,
I can't stand the guy.
They set up an interview
and I said,
it'll be like for 10 minutes,
five minutes,
something quick.
And they set up this whole thing
and the interview lasted for two and a half hours.
Because we got along,
we had an unbelievable chemistry.
And I can honestly say,
I really think,
because I love what he says.
He said,
look,
maybe he's not a nice guy,
but he gets everything done.
Would you rather have a nice guy
where the country goes to hell?
But I do,
I get it done.
And I think I'm a nice guy too.
I like to be a nice guy.
But he did this,
he did this interview.
So,
and I'm going to take total credit for the show.
No,
credit almost equal to you guys.
It was just chemistry.
We got along incredibly well.
And that was it.
And then he did a five-parter.
Yes.
Every night he had Trump on,
every,
and he got ratings that were through the roof.
And honestly,
his ratings were okay,
but they weren't setting.
He got ratings that were through the roof.
He was the number one show of the week.
It was the great.
And you know what?
It never stopped.
So,
I take full credit.
Take full credit.
Don't go away.
Maybe right back.
