In this episode of Triggered, my father Donald Trump joins me to talk about his new book, Letters to Trump, a collection of all the letters written to his father, Donald Trump Sr., over decades, from people like Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jackson, Alec Baldwin, George Stephanopoulos, John McCain, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and many others. We talk about loyalty, loyalty, and what it really means to be a loyalist, and how to deal with people who don t share the same values and values as you do in politics. We also talk about how important it is to have a strong sense of identity, and why it s so important to have an appreciation for the people who wrote him the most glowing letters of support throughout his life, about friendship, about loyalty. And of course, we talk about what it was like to grow up in the early days of the Trump administration, and the lessons he learned along the way. It's a great episode and it's one you don't want to miss! Tweet me with any questions or comments! about the book or anything else. Timestamps: 1:00 - What would you do if your laptop was your laptop? 2:15 - How would you deal with the sun? 3:30 - What do you do when the sun is not working out? 4:40 - What does your laptop do to you? 5: What s your favorite thing? 6:10 - Would you do with it? 7:15 8:00 9: What would your laptop from hell? 10:30: Is it working? 11: How do you want to know what you would do if it wasn t? 12:00: What is your laptop working out too well? 13:00 | What would it be? 15:30 | What does the sun do? 16:40 | Would you want it better? 17:10 | What are you working out a little bit? 14:40 15, what would you like to do with your laptop ? 16, what do you would you want? 17, what are you want from a sun that's not working so good? 18:30, what does it work out too much? 19, what is the sun in a good situation? 20, what's a good day? 21:30
00:06:08.000It's basically a collection of all the letters written to my father over decades, primarily even as a businessman.
00:06:17.000Some of them happen when they're in politics.
00:06:20.000But as we go through this next election cycle, as we look at the results achieved by his administration versus the disaster that we're experiencing right now, I think this is a little walk down memory lane and history about where I mean, the people who wrote him these glowing letters of support throughout his life about friendship, about loyalty, who then, let's just say, took a drastic turn in a different direction.
00:06:53.000I think it talks a little bit about human nature, about the way that works, and I think it talks for us as conservatives about the battle that we're up against, how the outrage cycles, the mainstream media, big tech, how all of that is actually manufactured because you don't go from the letters that you'll read in this book from, you know, people like Oprah.
00:07:15.000Michael Jackson, Alec Baldwin, you know, a bunch of Hollywood people, a bunch of celebrities and former presidents from Reagan, Nixon, Clinton.
00:07:26.000It just shows you how much of everything we see and digest on a daily basis is just totally manufactured.
00:07:33.000So I think it's so important to understand all of that.
00:07:36.000I mean, for me, we found These letters in an archive, literally doing some cleanup in an office, and there were just boxes and boxes of them from some of the biggest people in the world, royal families, Prince Charles, Diana, and wanted to put this together just to show people what it was really like before we entered this crazy landscape of politics.
00:07:58.000So I think you guys will find the book truly fascinating.
00:08:05.000If you go direct, you can see it for yourself there.
00:08:07.000But I wanted to make sure, you know, have my father talk about that.
00:08:10.000Again, I think we're going to get into the politics probably as well, because you can't help but avoid it.
00:08:15.000We're in a primary now that's starting, you know, two more years of hell, but we're fighting for our beliefs, for our freedom, for our republic.
00:08:24.000All of which, all of which, as we've watched, are on the table.
00:08:59.000I want you to talk about it in detail.
00:09:01.000But in going through your archives over years, there's really an incredible history of business people, celebrities, world leaders.
00:09:11.000Talk about letters to Trump and what it means and what you've learned.
00:09:15.000Well, first of all, I can't believe I'm being interviewed by my son.
00:09:18.000I've had Barbara Walters, I've had everybody, and now it's my son, and I think it's great.
00:09:24.000And congratulations, because your show or podcast, whatever you nowadays call these things, is doing incredibly well, I hear.
00:09:31.000It's doing well. See, people like what you are doing, and they like what we're doing, and they like that message, and they see how many people are trying to prevent, you know, that movement from moving forward.
00:09:41.000That's true, but it is moving forward.
00:09:42.000And if it wasn't doing well, I would tell you, you know that, right?
00:09:46.000That was going to be one of my last questions.
00:09:47.000I was going to ask you, what would you do if it was my laptop from hell?
00:09:51.000Because I think our audience would want to know what would happen if it was my laptop from hell.
00:09:57.000I would say the sun thing isn't working out too well.
00:09:59.000I was actually saying the other night, I was watching just story after story.
00:10:04.000I sort of joked about it a little bit, but it's really not funny because the country is not in a funny situation.
00:10:10.000But at some point, does Biden say, you know, this whole sun thing is not looking good.
00:10:14.000It's not working out. Is there some anger or does he not really understand how horrible these things are?
00:10:44.000Now, I will tell you, though, we had phony charges like Russia, Russia, Russia, impeachment hoax number one and two, and all of the different things that took up a lot of our time, but we got a lot done, more than probably anybody would have gotten done.
00:10:56.000Well, talk about that. I mean, I think that's what's perhaps, despite the Russia, Russia, Russia, despite all the obstacles, impeachment one and two that they put forward, your agenda actually still got something done.
00:11:07.000And that's with even the rhinos working against you with all of DC, with the full weight and force of big tech and mainstream media working against you.
00:11:15.000And people saw real wage growth, incredible job numbers, energy independence.
00:11:20.000How come no one in politics has been able to do that?
00:11:22.000And, you know, they profess to be the experts.
00:11:24.000Well, I don't think anybody's done more than we have as president with the tax cuts, the regulation cuts, the Space Force, the right to try and so many different things.
00:11:33.000And some of the things that we would have done just would have happened automatically.
00:11:41.000Zero chance that Russia would have attacked Ukraine.
00:11:44.000Zero chance of any attacks with China.
00:11:49.000If you look at China, what they're doing, what they will be doing probably with Taiwan is certainly making the moves.
00:11:54.000They weren't making any moves during our time in office during that four-year period, which was an amazing period of time.
00:12:01.000Inflation wouldn't have happened because it was started by energy and we were energy independent and we were starting to sell energy at massive levels to Europe and other places.
00:12:09.000I mean, so many things that Thank you.
00:12:49.000One of the biggest bases anywhere in the world, air bases anywhere in the world, and cost us billions and billions of dollars to build it many years ago.
00:12:57.000We were going to keep it because of China, not because of Afghanistan.
00:13:01.000And so many mistakes that have been made, and those mistakes wouldn't have been made.
00:13:27.000I mean, he gave you a lot of credit two weeks ago on foreign policy that you're the only guy that would have stopped perhaps these wars.
00:13:34.000Do you think that, you know, going against the uni party, going against the establishment and actually having those conversations was a big part of that?
00:13:42.000I think it's a shame what happened to Tucker.
00:13:48.000And he was out there in the sense that he was telling the truth.
00:13:51.000To me, the other ones are out there because they're lying and they're hiding and they're afraid to talk.
00:13:57.000And in my opinion, Fox would not have had any award The first thing they needed is a new law firm.
00:14:03.000But if you think about it, it's a platform.
00:14:06.000People go and they talk about the platform, whether it's elections or anything else.
00:14:09.000And they say the election was good, the election was bad.
00:14:12.000Everybody talks. They basically said the person holding the platform is liable.
00:14:18.000This was the craziest case I've ever heard.
00:14:20.000And to pay almost $800 million, and they have other cases coming.
00:14:25.000Well, to a company that's tiny, right?
00:14:27.000I mean, if there's liability and you do damage, it's based on what the company's actually worth.
00:14:31.000This seems like it's worth multiple times what the company could ever possibly be worth, and yet they were willing to pay it.
00:14:37.000And it seems like that was designed to probably prevent...
00:14:40.000You know, a Rupert from having to testify or something like that, but it doesn't seem like a fiduciary responsible decision.
00:14:46.000I don't know how they could have lost the case if they had lawyers that would have talked about free speech, had lawyers that would have talked about platforms.
00:14:55.000That means every time somebody goes on the news, if they say something, and if it's wrong, CBS or NBC fake news or ABC fake news, any of them, Any of these groups or outlets or platforms are going to be responsible for whatever is said.
00:15:11.000It's ridiculous. You won't have any news there, but they ought to close up their news shows right now.
00:15:15.000So I think losing Tucker, having Tucker not be there, It's going to have a big impact and a very negative impact on Fox, yes.
00:15:24.000And yet, you know, some of the interesting letters in this book, you have the letters from Putin, you have letters from Kim Jong-il, you have, you know, you called them love letters, and you were criticized, but talk about, well, you were criticized because they didn't understand actual negotiation, in my opinion, but talk about the ability to have that relationship with those people.
00:15:43.000I don't think we make any qualms and pretend they're wonderful human beings, they're, you know, dictators, but To be able to pick up the phone and actually have a relationship seems like it could stop World War III, which is where we're verging towards these days.
00:15:57.000When I called them love letters, I said that obviously sarcastically, but they were letters where there was a certain degree of respect.
00:16:26.000Terrific things I've done is I think I've notified the world and notified the people of our country that the news is, in fact, and not all of it.
00:16:33.000You have some great journalists, some great everything, but there's a lot of fakery in the news.
00:16:37.000And the concept of fake news is very good.
00:16:40.000The only problem is I didn't get it quite right because it's not strong enough.
00:16:44.000It should be corrupt news, but somehow that doesn't play as well.
00:16:48.000The only problem with fake news is it's not strong enough because it's actually much worse than fake.
00:16:58.000And you see what they did, knowingly lied just before the election.
00:17:03.000And it had an impact on the election, by the way.
00:17:05.000That's election fraud, just like ballots.
00:17:07.000I have a feeling, again, they wouldn't be writing letters to protect me if I was in the Hunter Biden situation, right?
00:17:12.000It would have been a little different. Nobody knows why do people want to have open borders and millions and millions of people coming in from insane asylums and mental institutions and prisons and ruining our country.
00:17:25.000It's going to ruin our country. We have to stop it.
00:17:29.000And why do they want to have high taxes, high interest rates, a bad military, a woke military?
00:17:34.000You look at the top of the military, it's woke.
00:17:36.000Why do they want to have no voter ID? That, you know, is easy because they want to cheat.
00:17:41.000You really say, why would a journalist, they go to school like we do, they go to the same schools, not as good as some of the schools we went to, to be honest with you.
00:17:51.000You know, I always get a kick when they say the elite.
00:17:58.000Well, the elite seem to be having a hard time paying for their college loans and they want hardworking Americans to do that, which also seems pretty ironic.
00:18:05.000The term elite is ridiculous, but they like to use it.
00:18:08.000I don't know. It's somehow a term that's used.
00:18:10.000But why are they fighting common sense?
00:19:18.000What they do to people, they're torturing people.
00:19:20.000They're using the, they weaponize their justice system.
00:19:24.000And nobody's ever seen anything like it.
00:19:25.000So I will tell you that if this country doesn't win the presidency in a very short period of time, I used to say four years, that's so long, but now we're talking about a very short period of time, this country cannot survive.
00:19:40.000President Obama is maybe one of those people.
00:19:58.000They started the weaponization of the government that we're talking about, that we're seeing manifested, that we're seeing Republicans in Congress now attack.
00:20:07.000But you actually called that way before anyone else.
00:20:10.000Talk about that letter, the hypocrisy of all of it, because it was elite, preachy towards you, and yet they were doing the exact opposite of what they were saying about democracy.
00:20:21.000So I thought the letter was very nice.
00:20:23.000I thought it was a beautiful letter, beautifully composed, handwritten, all of the things that it should be.
00:22:38.000There's a lot of history. People who were, I mean, kissing your butt in a great way, complimenting you on the work that you did, giving you props for incredible ideas.
00:22:49.000Who was perhaps the biggest disappointment of those who sort of conveniently just forgot decades of history, decades of relationship of those people?
00:22:58.000I mean, I know in the book you have Oprah, you have Rosie O'Donnell, Michael Jackson, you have Princess Diana, Alec Baldwin.
00:23:04.000I mean, it's sort of interesting when you see where some of these people have gone.
00:23:08.000Who was your biggest disappointment and who was the person that actually stuck with you the best?
00:23:12.000So I have to say, many were great and some were bad.
00:23:18.000I think they probably all voted for me, you want to know the truth.
00:23:21.000You had some people that were politicians that were on the other side.
00:23:25.000Maybe that's a natural thing, but you had a lot of celebrities, a lot of movie actors, a lot of people are mentioned in the book.
00:23:31.000And some were great and some were bad.
00:23:33.000And some were people that I know very well.
00:23:35.000They said, you know, they wink at me as they say something somewhat negative.
00:23:40.000But I'll tell you, in Beverly Hills and in Bel Air and in Palos Verdes and all these rich communities, I'll bet you a lot of them voted for us.
00:23:49.000When you think, and by the way, while I'm on the subject of California, so I do rallies, a couple of them, not too many, because everyone says you can't win California.
00:26:06.000I agree with you, meaning they've been able to set the table for that, right?
00:26:10.000We can't change to same-day voting, paper ballots, voter ID, if we're not in control, but we have to win first.
00:26:16.000The Republican governors can do it right now.
00:26:19.000And Republican governors should do that right now and at least get this thing started.
00:26:23.000Because ultimately, to have it right, you should have, and you probably have to have, Paper ballots, same day voting, voter ID, and you have mail-ins for military when they're far away and people that are truly sick, not people that are vacationing someplace and they send in their ballots because they don't want to do anything or they send in more than one.
00:26:44.000The right way, you take a look at so many countries where they actually tried this, we try it, it gets worse and worse.
00:26:51.000Every year they loosen it up and they make it worse.
00:26:53.000That's another thing Republicans have to do.
00:26:55.000The Europeans who are far left of us on these issues are shocked at how lax these things are, how ripe they are for fraud, and yet it continues and that's fine because the Democrats want that and the media will cover for them and big tech is also backing that system up.
00:27:08.000But, you know, to me, it's a number one issue that we have to actually engage in for 2024 to actually surmount the insanity that's going on right now.
00:27:15.000So we have to get there first, and we have to live by a horrible system.
00:27:19.000Now, I will tell you, the system is just horrible.
00:27:45.000And what you do is the paper ballots, same-day voting, voter ID, and eventually, if this country doesn't get back to it, they're never going to have honest elections.
00:27:53.000And, you know, when you look at 75% of the people think the elections are not honest,
00:27:59.000a country can't even survive with that.
00:28:01.000Between borders, elections, I mean, the things that we have going wrong in this country,
00:28:17.000We can actually say the things that others are thinking, and you're not going to get penalized.
00:28:20.000You're not going to be canceled. I think it's why we have to support those kind of platforms.
00:28:25.000I mean, there's other places even I was probably offered to go, but you don't want to spend all that time, and then one day you say something that ends up being 100% true three months later, but they throw you off the platform like a dog, and they prevent that.
00:28:42.000I did a recent interview and I thought it was great and they left the whole thing in, but they cut out that little section when I talked about voter fraud and I sort of knew they would.
00:28:52.000Even the Nelk boys, the Nelk guys are great guys.
00:28:55.000They're great. And I did their show and I had a lot of viewers.
00:28:58.000The first one I did And I said, watch, you're going to be cut because I talked about voter fraud.
00:29:03.000You shouldn't be cutting for voter fraud.
00:29:46.000Usually they cut it. Well, it's someone else, yes.
00:29:48.000They don't want to be talking about Voting, especially the 2020 election.
00:29:54.000The one thing they don't want to be talking about is that it was fraudulent, because they got away with murder, and they don't want to be talking about it.
00:30:01.000And if you notice, and I notice it all the time, the ones that stay with that theme They're the ones, when they go down to see this January, this fake January, this partisan, disgusting January 6th committee made up of just horrible people that I really believe hate our country.
00:30:19.000When you talk about, just take a look at some of the people, when they go and say the election was rigged, the election was stolen, the election was this and that.
00:31:34.000This was going to be running for a long time because he had a lot of tape, and all of a sudden it was just sort of shut down, never to be spoken of again.
00:31:42.000And I think that was a hard period for Tucker, to be honest with you.
00:31:45.000Well, I think he did an incredible service to those people, but the fact that it took that long in our government just shows just the unequal justice under the law.
00:31:54.000They don't want those tapes exposed, meaning they, meaning the Marxists, the communists, the radical left, they don't want them exposed.
00:32:02.000So in the book, there's some interesting letters, right?
00:32:05.000You have a letter from Oprah where she actually talks about possibly running with you as a running mate.
00:32:13.000When you see that, I mean, that sort of level of love, commitment, understanding of your abilities to perform the American people, and then you see the reversal of all of that, you know, just catering to the Hollywood elite and the mainstream media mob.
00:32:27.000What does that tell you about the state of our country?
00:32:30.000Well, I think Oprah was being nice and she was kidding a little bit.
00:32:47.000I look at some of the letters and I'm amazed by them.
00:32:50.000I look at others. I thought they were very beautiful things.
00:32:52.000I thought the Diana letters were beautiful.
00:32:54.000I really thought they were beautiful. Great.
00:32:56.000She would not be too happy with one of her sons right now, I can tell you that, because I think what has happened to the family, I got to know the Queen very well.
00:33:06.000Well, talk about that, because that was interesting.
00:33:08.000Probably the only trip I went with you internationally was that, and that was just a cool thing to be a fly on the wall.
00:33:15.000And the Queen, I remember we were as a family just in the waiting room for her to come, and I was just standing back towards the door And the door opens, and it was all of a sudden, it's the Queen.
00:33:24.000I'm like, oh, even me, not usually sort of uncomfortable in those situations.
00:33:29.000It's like, ah, what do you do now with all the decorum?
00:33:30.000And she sort of gave me the pat on the back and like, don't worry about it.
00:33:34.000There was an element of her that was actually just very cool.
00:33:37.000She had performed at such a high level for so long.
00:33:39.000You had really an interesting time with her, probably an unusual connection.
00:33:44.000Why do you think that was? What was that like?
00:36:16.000It's like they must have something on this guy.
00:36:18.000Because Mitch McConnell has been a disaster for our country.
00:36:22.000And his wife, Coco Chow, who I got to know very well, you can have her, too.
00:36:28.000Talk about your relationship with Rush Limbaugh.
00:36:30.000There's an incredible letter from Rush.
00:36:33.000You gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
00:36:35.000Amongst our people, he would have been a Tucker-type character, a once-in-a-generation type character, thought leader, etc.
00:36:44.000You had a really interesting relationship with him, and probably one that maybe many wouldn't have ever thought would have emerged the way it did, given your apolitical nature prior to this.
00:36:56.000I heard of Rush and I saw Rush on television, but I never met him.
00:37:00.000And when I made the announcement in 2015 that I was running for president, I made it at the base of the escalator in a building that you know very well, Trump Tower.
00:37:11.000We came down with Melania and the kids.
00:37:16.000We'll always say kids because the kids are the kids, but even if they're a little older than you would think of.
00:37:22.000But when the family was there and Melania was there, everybody was there, and I made a speech.
00:37:28.000I didn't have speechwriters or anything, but I talked about the wall.
00:37:30.000I talked about the rape that takes place.
00:37:35.000And it got great reviews until about two or three days later when they said, did he say rape?
00:37:41.000Well, it turned out that the word rape, as used by me, was peanuts compared to what happens because the women coming up in those caravans, it's a travesty what's going on.
00:37:52.000The raping and the pillaging, it's horrible.
00:37:56.000And pouring into our country at levels never seen before, millions and millions of people, I think by the end of This year, the real number will be close to 15 million people, not 4 or 5 million people, as they're projecting.
00:38:31.000We have no idea if they're sick, if they're well. We have no idea did they come out of the prisons,
00:38:37.000did they come out of the mental institutions. What they're doing to our country is unthinkable.
00:38:44.000So you mentioned the infamous escalator run, which is sort of an amazing start, right?
00:38:49.000Who would have thought that was the start of an entire political movement, maybe the largest in American history?
00:38:54.000But in the elevator before the escalator ride, you actually said something to me.
00:38:58.000I wrote it down in my book, Triggered.
00:39:01.000I just thought it was sort of fascinating because you understood it.
00:39:04.000And you said, now's when we find out who our real friends are.
00:39:08.000Meaning, you understood the way the world works.
00:39:10.000If you're gonna do this, you're gonna make enemies of people who were friends 15 minutes before that, but more importantly, that you chose to do it anyway, despite sort of that consequence.
00:39:19.000What have you learned about friendship and loyalty since then?
00:39:23.000Because I thought business was vicious until we got into politics, and now you realize that's a whole new level.
00:41:43.000And from that moment on, that was a very special day.
00:41:46.000But from that moment on, Rush Limbaugh was with me 100%.
00:41:50.000You had some interesting correspondence with Reagan going back and forth in the book, but the one that was interesting, there seemed to be a lot of back and forth with you and Richard Nixon.
00:41:59.000His wife even wrote one of the letters, you know, basically, that Donald, if he decides to run, he's gonna actually win.
00:42:06.000Talk about that relationship and how did it start?
00:42:09.000Well, you know, they had a very good relationship, actually.
00:42:11.000A lot of people don't know. In fact, the only time I saw Richard Nixon just totally break down was when his wife, who he loved, when she died.
00:43:48.000The job he's done with the UFC, they sold it for $4 billion, And it looks like the people that paid $4 billion made a good deal because Dana, I don't even know if he's replaceable.
00:44:06.000Those people, all three of them, I have to say that because I'm going to include Linda.
00:44:10.000But she's been, you know, she was head of small business.
00:44:14.000And small business is actually a very large business, but the Small Business Administration, and she did a phenomenal job doing that.
00:44:21.000You know, you hear small business, sounds like small, and then you look at, you know, tens of billions and just money like you never saw anything going out.
00:44:30.000She was great. But Dana White, the job he's done with UFC is just incredible.
00:44:43.000There wasn't one person in the whole arena.
00:44:45.000I don't know what they have, whatever it holds.
00:44:47.000And probably then you add some because the basketball court is much bigger than a ring.
00:44:53.000So what happens is they have, you know, the people are loaded on the court.
00:44:56.000The place was packed. And he said, I've never had anything like that where There was such enthusiasm and love.
00:45:05.000The fighter even, he's a great guy, Jorge Masvidal, a great fighter.
00:45:10.000He was out and he said, Trump, the greatest president we've ever had.
00:45:14.000A bunch of the other fighters, by the way, for those who may not have even seen it on TV, they jumped across the fence and were just giving you total respect.
00:45:21.000You know, from every demographic, guys, you wouldn't think, but they got it.
00:45:24.000It was sort of unique to see, I think, that fighter, that individual sport, the self-reliance, so many of the things that are conservatives we actually believe.
00:45:32.000It was fascinating. Well, it is true, though.
00:45:34.000I mean, they're in the ring. They can't blame it on somebody else.
00:45:38.000They are there by themselves against rough customers, and You got to fend.
00:45:59.000So speaking of primitive, because it feels like it that way these days, you have a great line in some of the speeches I've heard lately talking about, you'd be the greatest women's basketball coach of all time if you could just recruit LeBron James, who doesn't exactly share our political beliefs, but still a good basketball player.
00:46:17.000Tell us a little bit about that, because I think it's amazing and true, and it shows how ridiculous what's going on in women's sports, or supposedly women's sports, right?
00:46:25.000He's a great basketball player, but he's not a person that I like.
00:46:28.000But he's a great basketball player, as are some others, but he's really a fantastic player.
00:46:35.000But I don't happen to agree with him, but I said women, it's so unfair to women what they're doing.
00:46:42.000They're putting men into women's sports, and they try and justify it.
00:46:47.000That's one of the many things, like open borders, like voter ID, like all of these things.
00:46:51.000There's so many things that's common sense.
00:46:56.000There's a hundred different things you could say.
00:46:59.000I actually call it now April Fool's because almost everything, like you said, who would say open borders are good or people are pouring into your country and that's a good thing?
00:47:53.000And they announced there will be no drilling.
00:47:55.000And yet now we take it from Venezuela, which has tar, which has very bad stuff.
00:48:01.000And it's refined in Houston because that's the only plants, those are the only plants that can refine Venezuela oil, which is lousy, which is thick, terrible, very bad.
00:48:11.000If you're a big believer in what they say going into the atmosphere, it's the worst.
00:48:58.000We had the greatest economy in history, and we're going to do it again.
00:49:03.000We had, without question, we had the greatest energy with the lowest prices we've ever had, and they were coming down even further.
00:49:10.000We had the greatest, it was the greatest moment prior to COVID coming in, and then we fixed it, and the stock market ended up at the end being higher than it was just pre-COVID. And we had the greatest economy in the history of our country.
00:49:26.000There was never a nation in the history of the world that did as well as we were doing just prior to COVID coming in.
00:49:33.000I'll never forget, I had some people, some political people, very big ones, very good ones, and some pollsters in Just prior to COVID coming in, and we were talking about the election because it was coming down the road pretty soon.
00:49:45.000And they said, if Abraham Lincoln and George Washington got together and came back from the dead, and they ran as president and vice president, they could not beat you.
00:49:56.000And the other thing, and just to finish up, people were coming together.
00:50:01.000I was getting calls from people that you would not suspect, and this country was coming together.
00:50:06.000African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, people with great degrees from the best colleges, people with no degrees, people with no high school degree.
00:50:16.000People with only a high school degree.
00:51:10.000The disaster we're going through to actually wake up people, people who are agnostic to politics, people who, you know, just busy trying to live their American dream.
00:51:17.000But now they've watched that be exported to China and elsewhere at their expense.
00:51:22.000And I think they're ready to actually fight back for their country.
00:51:27.000I hope they are, and I hope they're going to fight.
00:51:29.000And if they don't fight, we're not going to have a country anymore because this country is in deep, deep trouble, including the possibility of World War III, which would be a nuclear war, which would be unlike anything that anybody or any nation has ever experienced.
00:51:44.000And we're much closer than we are further.
