The Eric Metaxas Show - John Di Domenico as President Trump

Episode Date: August 19, 2020

Celebrity impersonator John Di Domenico as President Trump joins Eric for a fun, deep-dive interview to answer questions like, Is he Hitler 2.0? Or a Russian puppet? Will he be debating Joe Biden? What about re-election? 

Hi, welcome to the Eric Mataxis show. I just found out I'm supposed to be someplace else right now. So my sincere apologies, but I simply won't be able to introduce today's host, Mr. Eric Mataxis. Hey, good. I'm continuing my conversation with Lance. Well, now his new book is titled God's Chaos Code. Lance, you were saying a moment ago that the church, and we don't mean the local church of this denomination, You mean the ecclesia, the people of God.

Oh, boy. Right? Explain that word. That's a million dollar word you just said. Well, it's a Greek word, and most words are Greek, obviously. Lechheim, actually a Greek word. Basically, the ecclesia means those who are called out, and it really is, it's the assembly of those who have been called out into God's kingdom

for his purposes while we're here. on earth. And obviously back in the days of the Jerusalem Council, when the apostles were still alive, you could gather the group. Now, you know, there's a couple of billion so-called Christians around the world, and that becomes just an infinitely politically complex problem. Who is the leader? Who's going to lead? I assume the Holy Spirit will lead. Otherwise, our goosees are cooked collectively. Yes, and I want to add another nuance to that, that that word, Ecclesia also was the word that had to do with a legislative assembly so that in Greek, in Greece and in Rome, this literally would be a decision-making body. So we are talking about

the gathering together of a decision-making body that is going to be able to own what we are binding and what we are loosing, what we are agreeing to see manifest. And let's take advantage of the liberty we have to convene. Now, this happened there with a meeting with Donald Trump. Remember, Donald Trump was like trailing terribly in the polls until United in Purpose and Ken Eldron and some Bill Dallas and some other guys, they had that meeting. You spoke at it. You were on the platform. You said some very bold things that day, my friend. But that meeting there was the turning point for the sagecont because they were supposed to have 300 influencers. They ended up with a thousand. You know, everybody thinks they have more influence than they do, but they all

influenced their way in, which was the ultimate test. And so at that meeting, Donald Trump was able to to effectively schmooze with that crowd and won their hearts, and they saw, aha, he's not so bad after all. And that was the tipping point, that one event. We need a convening. I don't see how we can have that convening in the next weeks, but I know I'm already talking, Eric, to the same people that did the last event, and they're coming into alignment with this idea. So it's a major possibility. And by the way, you know as well as I do, the way that you get the decision makers to the table and get them to stop pontificating is you bring the people that write the checks. It's a good Jewish business strategy. So we're going to bring all of the donors and the money

people, and they're going to invite the influencers. I think it's going to be a historic meeting. Wow. Well, I want to circle back. You mentioned the Jezebelic spirit. That does seem to me, my friend, Dr. Michael Brown, spoke about that a few months ago on this program. That's a very real issue in our culture right now. When you talk about what has happened culturally, and again, the church has famously abdicated the culture, and we focused on our little religious stuff. Maybe we got involved in politics, you know, around the 80s. We started getting involved politics, but we abdicated the rest of the culture.

And so what did you mean earlier when you referred to the Jezebel? spirit. Oh, there is a spirit that as at the forefront of the entire, the whole social justice movement that is hijacked by the left to become a racial movement, to become a transgender. You know, there's more legislation in the Democratic platform right now proposed, more more data on altering the transgender issues in America than on the tax code in America. That shows you what's going on. But I'm reading an article here on the APEC Times. The U.S. Army now maintains an equity and inclusion agency,

Operation Inclusion, millions of dollars we're spending for the U.S. Army in order to be educated by leftist activists about white privilege. And they've already made it through the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Depositives. This is happening while Trump is president. In other words, even while he's president, we can't put a stop to this kind of thing. I mean, this is, it's extraordinary to me. But when you talk about Jezebel, understand, it's a spirit that deconstructs the boundaries and the borders that God put around marriage, sexuality, gender, identity, family,

so that the aggressiveness with which this is expanding into our children and the next generation is enough so that if we do not actually become a firewall now, then we have allowed box cutters to storm the cabin of the plane while we sat in the aisles listening to Hillsong music. Ouch. Okay, we just got a couple of minutes left. What do you recommend? There are a lot of people listening right now.

What do you recommend people do? Well, you know, I wouldn't be Jewish if I didn't say, you need to buy this book because this book is actually lying up. God's chaos president because we haven't got to the big subject yet. It's not about America. Eric, you know it's not about America. We're so narcissistic. It's always about the church. It's always about the rapture.

If something goes wrong, oh, I'm getting raptured. There's a whole world out there. I don't know if Americans know this, but there's other countries. So what's happening is actually two things. Eric, it's the battle of sovereign nations and the battle of. of empire. Empire is China, the Silk Road, the European Union. It's a global economic reset that wants to happen because of COVID. It's Americans that you know in the deep state who would love to have globalism back because these guys are all money guys, and they don't consider themselves

Americans anyway. They despise America. They're citizens of the world. And so what you have is the selling out of America. Donald Trump, on the other hand, rises up and is despised for his nationalism, but nationalism actually is the biblical love and affection for the blessing of God in the borders of your country. And because we're Christians, we believe that God wants to bless every nation. I think there's a whole new debate that needs to happen about why are we here in the first place. Okay, listen, you again, you're singing my song, you have no idea, because in my book, if you can keep it, which debuted the day that I spoke at that meeting, that was the debut of my book, and they happened to book me to speak on that book that day.

And the whole thing is about what we are talking about is that America is blessed to be a blessing. Just as Israel was chosen to bring the God of the Bible to all the other nations, okay? So it's the chosen nation because it's chosen to reach the other nations. Lincoln calls us God's almost chosen people. We have been blessed and been given these freedoms and tremendous wealth so that we can bless the whole world so that we can export these ideas,

which are basically biblical ideas. So in a sense, what you and I are both doing is we're calling America back to its original covenant. That's where we were formed, whether you're talking about Winthrop in 1630 or we're talking about the founders in 1776. It's an extraordinary thing, the connection in history. It is what we're coming up right now. Mercedes-Sparks just told me, we're coming up in the 400th anniversary of the compact, the covenant with the Mayflower.

When they landed, it was 400 years ago, coming up any day now, when they covenanted for the whole land for the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the other thing. Christians, why is it that you can have Islam has nations? How is it that China can be taken over nations? how is it the EU can become a consolidated nation? And Christians don't have a vision even for Boca Raton. We have no vision whatsoever. We don't go for anything. Jesus has an inheritance of nations.

Can't we come up with one nation, maybe an island somewhere? Toga. Maybe Toga could come alone. Listen, I'm so sorry we're out of time. Lance, it's just always a joy to speak with you, my friend. Congratulations on the book, God's Chaos, President. something tells me we haven't heard the last of you. Something tells me we'll have you back on this program sooner rather than later.

But I'm glad to know you're out there and I'm glad to know you're busy listening and speaking. I'm watching you all the time. I'm telling you something. I'm watching you every day. That episode where you had the seamsters drilling a hole in your wall, that was the most hilarious episode. Remember that? You're having a normal interview and there was all this construction going on? Yes.

That's right, right, that's this wall right here. We really are out of time. But if you're watching me, now I'm really going to, you know, get my act together. Thank you, my friend. Hey, folks, Eric Mattaxas here. The Trump campaign has a special offer just for you. The president really wants to give you a sign 2020 Make America Great Again hat. He wants to make sure the lucky winner is one of his top supporters.

Be sure to enter soon because this is an opportunity you don't want to miss. The offer is only going to a select group of supporters and you're one of them. all you have to do is text metaxus to 88022 today for your chance to win a piece of history, a 2020 make America great again, hat. Again, that's M-E-T-A-X-A-S, M-E-T-A-X-A-S to 88022 to enter to win this contest and join President Trump in the fight to keep America great for four more years. This was paid for by Donald J. Trump for President Inc. Oh, hello.

Hey, folks, we've been talking to Lance Wall now. I hope you didn't miss that. You can't make him up. He's hard to describe. He's hard to sum up. That's usually a compliment. In his case, it certainly is. Coming up in the next segment, this is hard to believe.

And the reason it's so hard to believe is because it's not true. In the next segment, the president of these United States, Donald... That's right. If you don't believe me, it might be because you know that I'm lying. But I want to tell you something, whether I'm lying. Whether I'm lying or not, the President of the United States is going to be our next guest. For the rest of this hour, I'm going to ask him the hard questions, okay? These are not going to be softball questions.

These are going to be hard questions. I'm going to bring up the issue with Adolf Hitler. I'm going to bring up a lot of tough issues that other journalists are not willing to bring up, just to show you that I'm not a journalist. Okay, so that's coming up in a few seconds. Now, if you miss it, trust me, you're missing something significant. I'm just going to tell you that. Now, by the way, you may have noticed we're in an election.

Chris and Albin, you haven't missed that, right? We're in an election right here. No. Last night was the DNC convention again. And again, it was weird. It's really weird. It's so weird. You don't know where to begin.

It's weird because first of all, it's not a normal convention, so it's kind of set up to be some kind of a video thing. And in some ways, it's creative and it works. And in other ways, it's just weird. But I, you want to talk weird? I had such a weird night last night. I was walking down the avenue here to meet a friend for dinner. And of course, this happens to me all the time because I'm the celebrity. finder. It's like my my spirit animal. I can just spot celebrities at like 90 yards in the dark from

the back of the head, whatever, whether they're wearing masks or whatever it is. So I'm just walking down and I glance over and boom, Woody Allen and Sunyi. And I thought, this is like the fifth or six time I bumped into him. And I vowed the next time I would get a selfie because I just just thought, you know, I have no pride. I'll go up to anybody and now. for a selfie. And so I went up and we're both wearing our masks, which makes it really creepy. Like, good news, you meet somebody you want to get a photo with bad news. It's during a worldwide pandemic. So I posted the photo on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter. And he's a grumpy fellow. And I think that, you know, I wanted to remind my listeners, I'm being now, I'm being very serious, that we're supposed to love our enemies if we're Christians.

Now, if you're not a Christian, you do whatever you like. But I'm just saying what the Christian faith teaches is that we're supposed to love our enemies, which means that we're supposed to treat them the way we would want to be treated if we were in their shoes. And that's a little complicated. But Eric, he froze on us. What happened to Eric? Looks like Eric froze. He's pulling a DNC Joe Biden brain freeze there. Oh, okay.

All right. Let's see if we could unfreeze him, okay? Oh, there he is. You were frozen, my friend. You froze. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's my hair product.

Well, here's the issue. I basically, so I posted on social media, and what amazes me is the, that comes out of people saying, well, he's a pedophile. He married his, what did he say, is his daughter or whatever? These are all things that are not true, okay? He wasn't, you know, engaged or married to Mia Faro. It doesn't make what he did right. I mean, if any of us did it, I'd be the first to condemn it. But the point is they've now been married 23 years. And it just, people are just so nasty in the repeat this kind of gossip.

and then they say he's a pedophile, which I guarantee you that's ridiculous. But people believe it and they feel the need to say something nasty on social media. And it reminded me that we see this, speaking as a Christian who has political views and who has moral views and who has theological views, we really do have to try to lead the way in loving our enemies, even when we totally disagree with them. I think if Joe Biden were elected president, it would be a nightmare for America. And I say this because I care for the poor,

because I believe black lives matter. Because I believe all those things, I will do everything I can to wake up voters so that they do not vote for him and do vote for Donald Trump. I try to be reasonable about that. Maybe sometimes people, they have different sense of humor than I do.

But when people are just, just like genuinely nasty on social media to somebody like a Woody Allen or whatever it is. It really strikes me that if that's how we come across to people on the other side of the aisle or the other side of a theological divide, we're not really honoring God. And I really am amazed at how many people are purely moralistic. They're not, it's not about, you know, it's not about, it's not about, grace or so it just was an amazing experience to have this wild moment where I I take a goofy selfie with with Woody Allen both of us wearing our masks so he looks like like Ray Bulger in in in in uh over the

over the rainbow I almost said you know what I'm talking about the Wizard of Oz but it was it was anyway it was an amazing moment but what came off on social media I thought to myself wow people need to do reality check because it's one thing you. if you're making a joke or you make, but just really ugly stuff. And then I noticed it, the same thing happens with, I mean, there's tremendous ugliness coming from, from the left, especially the Marxist left, toward Trump and so on and so forth. But when I see people on my side do it to them, it upsets me. For example, last night Joe Biden comes out. He hugs his wife and he says, I'm the husband of Jill Biden. And it almost sounded like he said, I'm the husband of Joe

Biden. So people tweeted out that he said, I'm the husband of Joe Biden. I'm the husband of Joe Biden. I'm the husband of Joe Biden. And I thought he didn't say that. And is this really the issue? I mean, if he were perfectly spoken and 49 years old and in perfect health, I would be equally against him becoming president because he really is a Trojan horse for ideas that are so bad. They're going to destroy America. They're going to harm people on every level. That's why I don't want him to be elected, not because he's an evil person. But I just thought I had to say that. And it reminded me when I posted the video of me with Woody Allen.

I just thought, man, if you are, you know, on my side of the issues, I would say it's incumbent on us not to stoop to their level. I just don't think that it's right. I think it's wrong. And also, I don't think God can honor it or will honor it. So I just wanted to pontificate for a moment. Let me say that we are, well, two things. One thing, first of all, I want to say is that next week, my book about Donald the Caveman is coming out. I believe I probably have never mentioned it on the show before.

It's called Donald on the fake news. And because of COVID, it's really hard to get the word out about this book. So we're sending an email out to my email list. if you're on the list, you know, you'll get it. But for people to help me share word about getting this book out, it's definitely the funniest book. And it's sort of, you know, jokes around says, based on a true story. I think that's the issue here.

In this election, we have a clear choice. And in my book, if you can keep it, I talk about what is America and what is great about America. And what we're facing right now is a real choice between that. If you elect Donald Trump, you're getting an administration that essentially believes in that and is putting that forward. And you can't take that lightly. You can't say, well, but he insulted this person. That may not be unimportant, but it's not the most important thing. The policies of one administration versus the other are so significant that I want to help people

focus on those policies. And in the weeks ahead, we're going to be talking more about those policies. But in my book, if you can keep it, I try to spell that out so people can understand. what the standard American conservative founders view of America is. And I think most people, if you read it, you would agree with it. I want to mention briefly, here's some good news, some great news. Food for the Poor. We're doing a campaign with Food for the Poor. Today's Wednesday, people want to know where will their donation go.

And I've written it down here that, okay, if you give $37, it goes directly. as I've said, to the poorest of the poor in places like Guatemala, Haiti, other countries, the mother of twins in Haiti brought her children who were genuinely, obviously, malnourished, shockingly. So to a clinic supported by food for the poor, this is what the mother of these starving kids had to say. When I came to the clinic with the twins, they weren't well. They were skinny. People from home used to humiliate me. because of how bad they were. So I joined the program at Food for the Poor,

and they've done so much for me. If you see my twins now, you won't recognize them. If it weren't for the program, they wouldn't be alive. Food for the Poor has done so much for me. President Donald Trump. Folks, I got some embarrassing news to share with you, but you know what? This is just the kind of a show where I don't care.

I'm willing to lay my heart, you know, on the line. Here's the issue. Mike Lindell with my pillow. You may notice that I have a bobblehead of him near me. He's here to remind all of us that when you go to mypillow.com, you get whopping discounts if you use the code Eric. Now, there are a lot of people who haven't done that, and we have your names here.

And Chris Heim's Ann Albin pointed out to me that there's like three pages of you whose first name is Eric. You, you're so, I mean, that's humiliating for me that even though your name is Eric, you're still not willing to use the code Eric. I mean, if you don't want to use it because it's my name, use it because it's your name.

But the point is that I see who you are, and I just feel humiliated by this. Please go to go to mypillar.com. It's okay, Mike. It's going to be okay. Go to mypillow.com. Use the code Eric. You're going to get whopping savings and really high quality.

products. Did I mention that? Thank you. I'll say goodbye to all my sorrow and by tomorrow I'll be on my way. Folks, it's hard to believe that it's finally happened on this program. I promised this for a long time. It's my really tremendous privilege to introduce the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. President Trump, just an honor to have you with us today. Eric, it is so fantastic to be back.

This is like one of my first Zoom calls, one of my first Zoom calls. I'm very excited. And I know that my appearance last time on your show was your number one rated, downloaded scene and commented on show. So I'm sure this will be your top Zoom call. Thank you. I want to say, Mr. President, that the negativity directed toward you has been unprecedented. certainly in my life. Terrible people.

Pardon me? Terrible people. They're just really mean and nasty. They're horrible, horrible people. Yeah. And a lot of people continue to compare you to Adolf Hitler. How does that feel? I don't know why we keep getting that comparison.

I don't have a mustache. I really don't understand that. It's interesting. That wouldn't be the first thing that I would have said but you're the president of the United. Yeah, I don't, yeah, I think that's like one of the main things. And I'm a much better dresser, and I'm far more handsome. I would say I'm probably the most handsome president in the history of presidents.

I mean, you look at Abe Lincoln, not an attractive guy. And his wife, Mary Todd, wow, not very, like maybe a three, maybe a three on a good day, on a good day. And I've seen the paintings here at the White House. He's depressed, from what I understand, very depressed. And Melania, by the way, is very upbeat, very upbeat. compared to Mary Todd, you know. Compared to Mary Todd, compared to Mary Todd.

Anyone is upbeat. Well, look, because it's such a rare thing that I get to talk to a sitting president, let me ask you some tough questions. Absolutely. Listen, I did the Axios one and that Jonathan Swan, he thought he had me, but he didn't, but he did. And by the way, the worst English accent I've ever heard. faker, big phony. I didn't buy

for your son. I noticed that. Even I didn't. It was worse than Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins one. That's good. That's going. And Van Dyke is a Democrat today. It's a pity. Yeah, these 90-year-olds who are Democrats. I don't get it. I don't get it. Because they think, they still think it's about

ER and the working man. They're a little bit out of touch. Yeah, I want to ask you. You're very tough in terms of punching back. People say that you're a counterpuncher. Counterpuncher. People attack you,

you hit back. Sometimes people think you hit down. In other words, when you attack the NASCAR guy, whatever, they thought not only wasn't it presidential, but that it actually hurt you. Do you regret any of those kinds of attacks? No, absolutely not. I regret nothing.

I wouldn't do it if I would end up regretting it. Right. By the way, by the way, sometimes you have to punch down. It's not like, you know, Everyone makes it such a virtue that you're punching up. Punching down can be tough too because you have to come up with something really smart when you're doing.

Okay, well then let me ask you about some of your policies. You've been very, very strong in standing up to China and there is no question that your predecessors either were naive or greedy or a combination of both. What would you say to the Chinese today if they were listening to this program, I know they do. Well, I'm sure they are. I'm sure they are. They listen to every word I say and they hang on every single word in syllable

because they know no one's been tougher on China than me. No one's extracted more billions and billions of dollars from China than me. And that's why we're doing so great with our economy because I got the money out. You know, people, these companies, these companies here in the United States, what do they want to do? What do they want to do? They want to make more money, more money. So they move their production to China.

China keeps the money. And then these companies, you know, I'm not going to name any specific companies. I'm not going to do that. But then those companies, they keep building up. They make more money. China makes more money. And they charge more for the same thing that could be made here for more. But then there would be less.

And then there will be less. And that's the terrible thing about this because it never ends. It never ends. Because once it goes from China, it goes to someplace else like Vietnam or some other place like that. And that's our money. We should get our money back. And that's what I've been doing. I've been getting our money back. And that's why China is running scared. That's the worst economy they've ever had in about, you know, 50 years. Absolutely. Listen, speaking of communists, Kamala Harris is said by many to be the real presidential candidate, that Joe Biden is just

a Trojan horse for Kamala Harris and socialist policy. do you think that somehow the DNC has a plot to put her in or to put Hillary in and that Biden will not even become the president in January if he were to be elected? Well, first off, the Trojan horse thing, you know what? That's 100%. That's 100%. Because from what I understand, he's totally hollow. That's number one.

And number two, number two, a lot of people don't know this. A lot of people don't know this. But Joe Biden is 78. And really, that's really a hundred when you think about it. That's like a hundred years old. And from what I understand, they don't have his, they've discontinued his blood type. They've discontinued his blood type. Wait a second.

Are you sure, is it possible to discontinue a blood type? It is. They've discontinued it. So if he gets into an accident or gets hurt, they have no blood for him. But for me, my blood, because I, you know, I have MIT blood because of my uncle, John Trump. They keep my blood because I'm a stable genius at MIT in a vault. So there's plenty of my blood. There's plenty of my blood. But for Joe, they're out of blood. So that's just one reason he should not get elected. There's many more. Believe me. Believe me. I can't believe they're out of Joe Biden's blood type. That's true. And hairplugs. We rarely make news, news news on this program. That is, that's news. That's a headline. We're going to be right back, folks, with the president of the United States of America. Thanks for listening. Hey there, folks.

I have as my guest right now, none other than the president of the United States of America. This is a tremendous privilege. President Trump, thank you for losing that bet so many years ago, so that you're obliged to help me in my career by appearing on my programs. Let me ask you, what do you suppose is going to happen to Joe Biden in these debates? Will you have debates with him, do you think? Well, I hope I have debates with him. And if he doesn't debate, that should be an automatic disqualifier. to him. He should not be allowed to run for president if he doesn't, he isn't willing to debate. Once I get him on

stage, it'll be the shredding of shredding. I'm going to run circles around this guy. I mean, he can't even put a sentence together. It's sad. It's really, really sad. And I know he's a nice guy, and I keep hearing that for people. I don't care. I don't care. If you're going to be president of the United States, you better be a killer. You better be a killer. That's what I am. I'm a killer. I'm a killer for the American people. Killer for the American people. Well, I remember when you shot that man on Fifth Avenue years ago, you know, your base

didn't even blink. They didn't blink and it was a great shot too, clean shot right through. Some people need killing. You had a clean shot. A fool wouldn't have squeezed the trigger. And you did that, but the news hardly reported on it. Because I think they understood that that that was really, that was

a bad dude. I believe Bad ombre. Bad ombre. Bad-Ambre. Bad-Ambre. And I believe Putin had sent him. And so it's important for us to understand that you really weren't collaborating with Putin. And I think that Fifth Avenue incident would tell anybody

paying attention to the news that you see Russia not as a friend and that you're not the puppet of Russia. So then the question would be then, whose puppet are you if it's not Russia? Oh, I'm my own puppet. I'm my own puppet. No one pulls my strings like I pull my strings. I'm a great string puller for myself.

You know what I mean? Everybody thinks I like Putin, but you know what? You have to have a good relationship with him. You know, that country has 11 times zones. We have four. I mean, three, really, but four. He has 11 times a country. So I want to be able to make deals with him so we can all get along.

And, you know, we're doing great things with the missile. and things like that to make sure there's nuclear disarmament. But no one pulls my strings, okay? And like I said in the debate last time, four years, can you believe it, it was four years ago. But the last time I said, she's a puppet. She's a puppet. I'm not a puppet.

I'm not a puppet. You said she's a puppet? I meant that Hillary was a puppet. By the way, the dumbest campaign I ever. Do you remember that? Do you remember that campaign? No. I'm with her. No one was with her. Nobody, not even Bill, and I goff with Bill, and I know that for a fact.

Well, listen, you know, you talk about Russia having 11 time zones and we only have four. Don't you feel that if you do get a second term, it would be possible for you to add to our time zones? Because I feel like it doesn't seem right that a nation with a horrible economy should have 11 time zones and we should only get four. Is there any possibility of action in that area? I would like to have many more time zones. I think we could go right. And there's four now. I think we could easily go to eight times zones, maybe, maybe 10, because you have some very thin states that I think that would work.

And also, we are now energy independent. You're for fracking. I know that recently. Fracking, by the way, fracking is awesome. Fracking is fracking awesome. I have to tell you, it's the greatest. It's the greatest thing ever. Well, I mean, wasn't it James Madison?

who said drill baby drill. That was him. That was one of our founding fathers over a thousand years ago who said that. Well, the founders understood that energy independence was the key to our future. And this is, of course, years before they discovered oil in 1859. And this is why our founding fathers wanted to get away from England or the UK or Britannia at the place is so many names. It's so confusing. It's something that says a lot of names, but they wanted to get away from that so they could come over here and just drill and not be bothered by the ridiculous

rules at Stonehenge and other places like that. If you look at England, most of it's undeveloped because they can't drill. Well, it's interesting to me that the founders were proved right because of course they have found no oil in England. Zero. Zero oil in England. That's really, it's so ironic. And that's why I just opened up the Antarctic so we can drill up there and really get that, get the oil and the fracking and the natural gas and the unnatural gas and the fossil fuels and whichever up there. We're just going to, we're going to take you. The environmentalists are going to fight you on that, but I know you opened up the Arctic, the Alaska Reserve. And what people don't know, and we should say this, is that part of Alaska

that we're talking about is actually 10% bigger than Alaska itself. It's a huge, huge area. No one's going to notice. No one's going to notice. Believe me, it's a big state. It's an enormous state, I have to tell you.

Like, this is Alaska, like here, and most of the people are concentrated down here. No one's going to miss this. No one's going to miss this. Right, and the tour boats never get near the interior of Alaska. Not even close. Not even close. Do you see a role in your administration for Chris Christie? He was really devastating. He's a commentator on one of the news networks. And he was really

devastating in your defense. Do you think that you would be willing to push Jared Kushner out and perhaps bring in Chris Christie? Well, I can't push Jared out. Ivanka would never forgive me. She'd be very, very upset. And I don't like when my daughter's upset with me. I find that very, very upsetting when she's upset with me. On top of that, Jared's in charge about 35 different projects. So if we pull him out, it's going to be a house of cards. It's just going to, you know, because I'd have to find 35 different people. And I don't pay him. So I'm really making a tremendous deal on him and Ivanka. You know, with Ivanka, I don't pay her. So it's kind of like bring your daughter to work day every day. That's fascinating. I never, I never thought of that.

And you don't pay yourself either. No, I don't pay myself either. No, I do not. That's why I take extra days golfing because I deserve it because I don't get paid. Yeah, you're getting, you're getting nothing. Zero, big zero. How do you make a profit off this whole thing if you're not even paying your daughter or yourself? Well, because I like to goff and when we goff, where do we go?

We go to my courses around the world, all the Trump international courses, and we play there. That way I can get it back. I have to say, Mr. President, I'm so honored. to have you on. I'm glad your staff that controls your schedule so tightly was not she's right there. She's right there. I don't know why they're allowing this, but the point is that we're going to keep another segment. Folks, I know you're not going to go anyplace. Folks, I'm talking to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. President Trump, many people have made a lot of your friendship with Mike Lindell, the inventor of the pillow.

the inventor. Mike pillow. He's all over file.com. And you know and I know that the best code to use when you go to mypillow.com is my name, Eric. But of course, it's the name of your son, Eric, as well.

So the question is, why would anyone go anywhere else? I don't know. The tremendous pillows. And Mike's a great guy. And he really has a great story. And, you know, he's been on the other side because he was a druggie.

And now he's not a job. druggy. A lot of, you know, liberals are druggies. So he's come over and he realizes how important it is to be on the other side and how capitalism works and it's not all about, you know, you have to make something and then you sell it and then you make money and he makes his pillows

here in the United States, not in China. So I think that alone is fantastic. Are you under the impression that Nancy Pelosi has an alcohol problem? I don't know if she has an alcohol problem, but you know, when she's coming to the meetings in the

in the Oval Office, there's a faint smell of something. I don't know if it's perfume or like vodka or something like that. But, you know, she's under a lot of stress. But she's old, too, by the way. She's very, very old. Does it have notes of grapefruit in it? A little bit of grapefruit, because I have a tremendous sense of smell. I smell a bunch of different things.

It could be either some kind of vodka or. I think there's like a rosewater smell, too. You know what I mean? She smells good. but boozy. I don't know. Well, I just want to say, Mr. President, thank you for appearing in my new book, Donald and the fake news. Obviously, your campaign approved this. It's based on a true story. I want people to know. And I just want to say that... Great book, by the way. Great book. You make me look absolutely very muscular, which I am, but you make me look even better, which is hard to do,

which is hard to do. Well, I just have to say the idea that you were willing, and this is just based on our friendship, but that you were willing to appear in my book, dressed in that caveman costume. It just means a lot to me personally. And the people who have purchased the book, Donald and the think... Many, many people, many, many people from what I said with the publisher told me. I've said that it's because of your willingness to appear in the book, that it lent it a little of verisimilitude. And I just, again, I just want to say thank you, because a lot of presidents,

in the past have refused to appear in my humor, you know, comic books. And you're the, you're the first one that's just willing to do that because you just had nothing going on that afternoon. And I want to say thank you. The book, by the way, as a result of you, it's doing very, very well. In fact, I don't think there are any books doing better than Donald and the fake news. I don't think so, other than my books, other than my books and the Bible, which, you know, is my second favorite book. That's right. Now, would you, if, if, if someone, somebody said to you, are you an Old Testament guy or a New Testament guy, which do you prefer more? I mean, what would you say?

It's so tough. It's so tough. I think what I'm waiting for is the next installment, then I could probably make a decision. I hear Mike Pence told me I'm going to be in the newest version of the Bible. So I think once that's out, I can make a better decision. Right now, it's so close. It's so close. But I do like Fire and Brimstone. I do like Fire and Brimstone. Right. Well, Robert Jeffress and I are editing a new Trump, a new Trump Bible. And I think you're going to be very pleased with it, Mr. President. We want to do all we can to insert you to the faith. It's very important to us to confuse politics and theology.

Absolutely. It's so important. Nothing's more important than confusing those things in a way that most people remain confused. So thank you. Thank you so much. Listen, you've been a hero to so many. So many. So many.

I hope you can be president for at least, another four years possible. Well, we're going to go much longer than that. As you know, I'm going to be president for life. It's going to be absolutely fantastic because the Constitution is old and needs to be updated. That's bad for China. Well, thank you so much. Thank you.
