  • Donald Trump opened a series of questions. I I hesitate to call it a press conference
  • because that makes it sound legitimate in some way where this is just Trump ranting with his
  • latest lies and grievances. And whether we call that a press conferences sort of maybe more of
  • a linguistic question than anything else. But Trump opened with another tired lie,
  • disorientedly arguing that the doctored interview of Kamala Harris on 60 minutes. Was an election
  • threatening interview. And that phrase kind of hangs in the air like something pretty nasty. But
  • but it's quite hollow in the end. You know, Trump is obsessed with this argument that the 60 minutes
  • interview of Kamala Harris was selectively edited. But we've now seen the unedited material and it
  • doesn't really change the general understanding of Kamal Harris's views on the questions which
  • she was asked. So in any case, Trump can't let any of these grievances go. He holds grudges

  • 1:00
  • endlessly. And here he is making this claim. I hope so. Ellison's great. They'll do a great
  • job with it. So what they did is they interviewed, 60 minutes they interviewed
  • Kamala. Her answer was horrendous. I would say election-threatening. This is the day before
  • the election. Her answer is election- threatening or so incompetent. So they took the entire answer
  • out and they took another answer to another question. And they did that, I understand,
  • a number of times. You don't have to do it a number of times the main question they asked
  • and we caught them And they're very embarrassed by it and they're working on a settlement now, but
  • think of it Did you ever hear of that one before they took the entire every word threw
  • it out Put another answer. Did you think they do that for me? I think it happens daily Well,
  • I've never seen it. I thought I'd seen everything. That I've never seen. It's very embarrassing. The

  • 2:02
  • head of 60 minutes got fired. The Head of CBS got fired, they're all getting fired.
  • So, listen, Trump's by the way, the leaf blowers or whatever, just endlessly and the scourge of
  • leaf blowers. Trump's been making these claims about 60 minutes for a while now. We've gotten the
  • unedited raw material. It's it's been debunked. But Trump is insisting that this is just one of
  • the great injustices of our time. And remember, he won. He won the election. The topic then comes up,
  • although it's hard to hear because of the leafblowers and all of it. Do you have any
  • intelligence that Iran. And Trump goes, I have intelligence. We're doing very well. Thank you.
  • And just another, you know, serious foreign policy questions. He's getting us into a war,
  • et cetera. And we just can't really get any straight answers from the guy.
  • He's talking to those around him, including his family members, his daughter Ivanka Trump,
  • her husband Jared Kushner, after the swearing-in ceremony for Charles Kushner. Let's listen.

  • 3:03
  • Do you have any intelligence that Iran is targeting any U.S. Asset?
  • We're doing very well. Thank you. Thank you everybody.
  • Do you have I mean, listen, if you're going to get the United States involved in a war,
  • an obvious question, especially if you are going to do it without seeking congressional approval
  • on the basis that it's an urgent, actionable emergency, right, the whole thing. If you're
  • gonna do that, maybe you can articulate that the U.S. Is actually under threat here, that Iran
  • is targeting U. S. Assets. Reasonable question. Maybe Trump has an answer. But Trump just goes,
  • we're doing very well. Thank you. We're doing we're doing really well in the war. Involving
  • Iran here, a vague self-affirmation and a pivot. Thanks for coming here. It's like the I'm rubber,
  • your glue sort of thing. And then in a moment when clarity is really needed on why is the
  • United States getting involved, he goes, well, you know, we're doing really, really well.

  • 4:02
  • Trump citing imaginary polls were not not the one from the not the flagpole. We're talking
  • about opinion polls, which he says claim that he's doing better than There is no such poll.
  • Trump's approval rating is in the toilet. I think what she might be alluding to is the
  • bass is going to stay with you regardless. And you've gone through different tests. Regardless.
  • But some of the people in the bass don't want a long-term war. They're afraid that
  • we're going to get into a long term war. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That's
  • it. I'm not looking long-term short-term, and I've been saying that for 20 years I've being
  • saying it as a civilian who got a lot of publicity people would cover it very simply Iran cannot It's
  • not a question of anything else and if you did you wouldn't have much of a country because they
  • would use it on us And we'll use it another people and they'd be a terror all over the world So I may
  • have some people that are a little bit unhappy now But I have some people that are very happy,

  • 5:02
  • and I have people outside of the base that can't believe that this is happening, they're so happy.
  • And there was a poll that just came out today that my approval rating's the highest it's ever been.
  • All I'm doing is saying you can't have a nuclear weapon. And I tried to do it nicely, and then
  • on day 61 I said, let's go, because we can't let that happen. And I've been saying it for 20 years.
  • Okay, I'm going to leave. Thank you very much. So no citation, no source, no details. Maybe it
  • was a poll conducted in the Mar-a-Lago dining room. Maybe it wasn't something Trump imagined
  • or dreamed. But like most of the things that Trump says lately, it's really not about conveying truth
  • to the American people. It's I'm dominant. I'm in charge. Reality is optional. And of course,
  • the reality is that Trump's approval is in the toilet. The topic then turned to Gavin
  • Newsom. Trump was Ask another good question. Are you potentially going to withhold relief
  • money from California because of your personal conflict with Gavin Newsom? And Trump goes,

  • 6:01
  • yeah, maybe I just might do that. With the rail from in california
  • will your recent dust-ups with governor newson impact additional wild wildfire
  • relief out there they've requested 40 billion The men's incompetent. You shouldn't have fires
  • like that. You clean the floor of your forest, and you won't have any forest fires. You know,
  • Austria has very, very flammable trees. They don't have forest fires,
  • because they clean the floors. They maintain their forest. Good effect. You know... Hatred is never
  • a good thing in politics. When you don't like somebody, don't respect somebody, it's harder
  • for that person to get money of your own time. Uh but he's done a magic i'll tell you one thing if
  • i didn't bring in the military to los angeles you wouldn't even have a seat he probably wouldn't be
  • So then he goes back to I actually saved Los Angeles. If I want to deny Gavin News some relief
  • funds because he's been mean, I saved Los Angles. And this is all coming from a guy who spent the

  • 7:00
  • last decade in politics, weaponizing hatred for political gain, mocking a disabled reporter,
  • calling veterans suckers, implying his enemies should be sailed, jailed. Now he's saying,
  • oh, we should unite. We should really just be unified. This stuff is mean. And then finally,
  • Trump's favorite, when he gets a question he doesn't like, who you with? Sadly,
  • for the reporter, the reporters with CNN, Trump goes, oh, what a disaster.
  • U.S. Response to the U.N. There's a split though. Fake news, fortunately nobody watches.
  • I'm fine, I'm okay. Is anybody watching CNN
  • nowadays? I haven't seen it in a long time. Some of your supporters are wary of the U.S.
  • Getting involved in another foreign mall. Do you ever ask a positive question? My
  • supporters are more in love with me today and I'm in love with them more than they
  • were even at election time where we had. Trump gives it up there. He gives up the
  • game. CNN isn't serious to him because they don't go, sir, how do you do it?

  • 8:02
  • How do you deal with all of the fake news criticizing you? And yet you still manage
  • to have the most successful first four months of a presidency. Tell us, sir. Tell us. I'm sobbing.
  • How do it do it. That's what Trump wants from CNN. He doesn't get it. Therefore, CNN is fake news.
