- 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.
