You know, sometimes Eric pretends to be interested in his guest.
But he's really just doing a crossword puzzle and rolling his eyes at what they say.
He told me never to say that ever.
But look, I made a mistake.
Oh, I'm human.
In my way.
Only I'm not.
And now you're a host, Eric Mataxis.
Hey there, folks.
Welcome to a special day on the Eric Metaxus show.
I can't tell you why it's special.
Albin, can you tell us why it's special?
I have no idea, but I have the feeling.
that a young man has a book launch today, Donald and the fake news.
I can't believe. You are so thoughtful. You make me feel really bad about myself. I just want you to know that.
Chris, doesn't he just make you feel guilty for not being as thoughtful? It's just...
He does. I'm pretty much phoning it in. I have some watermelon here. I already ate.
You're having a party? You're having a party? We should say that... I took a bite.
I talked about the convention last night a lot. But today is the launch day of my new
Donald, the caveman book. This one's called
Donald and the fake news.
I'm begging you to get a copy, folks.
You can go to ericmetaxis.com.
It'll eventually be at my store.com,
my pillow.com. But right now you can get a copy
at ericmetaxis.com or anywhere.
I think it's the funniest yet. We'll talk about that later.
But you really are celebrating. That is only an offer.
I would know what all important to book launch date is,
thank you, my fellow author friend.
Can you blow out the candles before it burns my twinkie?
Oh, sure.
Sure.
I need Chris's help.
You ready?
One, two, three.
Let's do it.
Blowing.
You did it.
You did it.
Yay.
That's just great.
Isn't that just great?
The fun we have on this show,
listen, thank you for that.
This is really, this is an important day,
not just because Donald and the fake news launches today.
Thank you, Eric.
But because, for what?
The Twinkie.
Oh, the Twinkie.
Yes, I had that shipped.
No, but today's an important day because last night was the first night of the GOP convention.
I don't know about you guys, but I was surprised to be impressed.
I was surprised not to be bored.
I was surprised that one speech after the other, one segment after the other, not only held my attention,
but got me excited.
There was a lot of good stuff.
I don't know who is behind this.
You know,
you always wonder who are the people putting this together,
but they did an amazing job.
I have to say,
I couldn't get over so many people.
I mean, first of all,
the first guy was Charlie Kirk, my friend,
my fellow Fall Kirk Center at Liberty University,
you know, friend.
And I think it just went on and on from there,
just one person,
after the other. Half of them I can't remember their names now, but really powerful stuff. I thought
Herschel Walker killed it. I mean, to have an African-American hero, a black American hero,
say that he has been friends, real friends, with Donald Trump for 37 years. I mean, I couldn't
believe, first of all, that Herschel Walker was playing that long ago and that he could be friends.
with Trump for that long. But I mean, he goes on and on. And, you know, look, I hear so many of my black
friends say that, you know, the idea that Trump is a racist is just, it's idiotic. But the left keeps
pushing it and pushing it and pushing it. And if you say something enough, people begin to get
confused. You know, that's really called fake news, I guess, which is maybe why I called my book
Donald on the fake news, because it's kind of, it's a drumbeat. And so last night we heard the other
side. And I was just, honestly, I was, I was thrilled. I don't even know which one I like best. I had like
five favorites. There were so many great lines to Vernon Jones, who's a Democrat, he said about Joe Biden,
he said, this is no time for sleeping in the basement. I thought that was very funny.
Well, you know, the comparison between Trump and whatever it is that Joe Biden has become is so dramatic
that you realize that the Dems know that the less they can show the Joe of today
and the more they can market the Joe of the past as a, you know, a stick figure, a cardboard cutout,
the more they have a chance of getting people to just vaguely remember, oh, yeah, he's a nice guy.
But I don't imagine that this can go on until November 3rd.
I mean, people are going to see, they've already seen,
some of his inability to answer questions without, you know,
just using talking points or getting back.
And I really have to say, I don't think things are looking good very now.
I watched, I deliberately watched CNN and MSNBC last night to see if they're covering
convention.
And they covered a lot of these amazing.
speeches. They did. Of course, they have to come on and be really, really negative and sour.
I think Dana Bash is the most sour face on CNN. It's just, it's painful. You just feel like
they're all so sour, and they have to tell you what they don't like or whatever. I think,
you know, they are, they're probably baffled because they're believing some of this. They're
thinking it's interesting. Herschel Walker was friends with Trump for 37 years, and he he doesn't
believe he's even slightly a racist. And so that has to carry some weight. So I think it's probably
troubling for the people who want to hate Trump and they don't want to look at the facts.
Facts are funny things. I went back and forth between Fox and CNN, because CNN covered some of the
speeches and Fox covered some of the speeches. But you asked about who directed last night.
I just know one thing that the Democratic National Convention was directed.
by George Romero, you know, Night of the Living Dead.
Oh, that's so interesting.
I always think Caesar Romero, the Joker, but yes, Night of the Living Dead.
No, it is kind of funny because you do have, at the very least, a vision of two Americas.
One is happy and forward-thinking and joyous.
It's just like joyous.
And the other one is relentlessly negative about how we're a racist country.
and how we don't care about people.
And you think, what world are you living in?
I mean, really, you really believe this.
There are people who believe this.
I mean, some of you listening saw a video of what happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin, yesterday.
Okay?
We have to understand the radical left, Antifa and Black Lives Matter are Marxist organizations.
I don't know how many times we need to say this before people understand.
These are organized Marxist organizations.
organizations who have absolutely no principles. They will do anything, say anything,
piggyback on any cause in order to put forward their agenda. And yesterday, a black man was shot
by a cop. When you see the whole story, you kind of think like, yeah, that's a criminal. And
cops sometimes do that. But immediately you have voices calling it racist and so on and so forth.
And the mob is unleashed. And rather in an organized fashion, because,
this is not something like, oh, they just decide to show up.
In an organized fashion, they torched tons of cars at a car dealership.
I mean, you see cars in flames, sanitation trucks in flames, people going to business after business,
many of them owned by blacks in Kenosha.
You kind of think, where are the Democrats to denounce this?
The governor and the mayor of, in Wisconsin, the government, the governor, the mayor of, in Wisconsin, the
governor and then the mayor of Kenosha, both sided with the looters and the rioters initially,
before they even knew anything. I think at some point, they called out the National Guard.
But I just have to say, this is what we're dealing with. This is not our parents' Democratic Party.
This Democratic Party has decided to go all in to do whatever they need to do, even if it means
turning a blind eye to actual violence toward black-owned businesses. I mean, I, I, I, I, I, I,
I'm not going to be, I'm not going to be nuanced about this.
We're at the edge of a cliff as a nation.
If we don't take this seriously, you know, if you don't scream at people and say,
stop, you're going over a cliff.
I might offend somebody for screaming, but I think I have an obligation.
Where we are right now, we've never been here before.
And I just want to say to my fellow Americans, we need to take this really seriously.
And we have to explain to some people, Marxism is bad.
bad. Some people have to know that.
Marxism. It's evil.
It is evil. I mean, it's so,
my parents dealt with it. The guy last
night from Cuba talked about it.
Anybody who knows, Americans
are practically immune from this.
We've had such a blessed
country. We're going to be right back, folks,
to continue ranting.
It's the Eric Mattaxas show. Don't go away.
Hey, folks, welcome back to the Eric
Mataxas show. We forgot to mention
Chris and Albin, we forgot to
mention who's coming
up in the next segment, I have to tell you, without any doubt, one of my favorite guests,
at the time I thought it was actually the president of the United States, turns out to be an
impersonator, but I treated him like he really was the president because my eyes ain't too good
these days. And I got to tell you, he is so brilliantly funny. That's coming up in the next segment,
probably for the rest of the show. And now we're talking about blue.
states and red states. But I want to tell you the quote last night. Actually, Albany, you're the one that
brought this up. A quote from last night, speaking of Donald Trump, we had at the convention,
Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina spoke, incredible. What was the quote? Well, he talked about
his family's history and his grandfather was able to pass before he passed away. His grandfather,
saw that his son made into Congress and all this sort of thing.
So Tim Scott.
I'm sorry?
His grandson, right, Tim Scott, the Republican from South Carolina.
And the line of the night was Tim was talking about how his family went from cotton to Congress.
In one generation.
Yeah, I mean, it's so inspiring.
There are so many tremendous stories.
I can't wait until tonight.
I got to tell you, I just, I never thought.
I'd be saying that, but I can't wait because it's, it's, it's been beautifully orchestrated and, and just one hit after another.
But, oh, listen, we've got the Donald Trump impersonator coming up.
So now it's a good time for me to say that I wanted to share some highlights from my book, which is coming out today.
Is that today?
So today.
So you go out in order.
You know the phrase failure to.
launch, this is success to launch.
Success to launch. This is it.
And just look at this. Look at that end paper.
It says, we the people.
We the people. That's on Donald the Caveman's Club. I just want to be very clear.
But it's a basic story. But this is the book dedication. I want to read the book dedication.
This book is dedicated to those who hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are,
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But on the other page, across from that, you've got
the resistors with signs that say no, no, because their hope, their only hope is to be relentlessly
negative. That's why this is about the fake news. But it just starts out that everybody was happy
because of all the freedom, but there were some people who really weren't happy because they had
lost their swampy privileges, and they called themselves the resistance. And they would meet in a deep
cave and they would plot. They were plotting how to bring the swamp back and they were led by an
old sorceress whom everyone called Madam Miss Speaker. You see, this is, this is, if you're, if you're
looking on video, I don't know who that looks like, but she lives in San Francisco. And the fact is,
she says, whatever Donald's does, we're against it. We must be completely negative. It's our only hope.
so that's kind of the that's kind of the story but but it's so whatever donald said you know they twisted it so
if they said it's a beautiful sky what a beautiful blue sky isn't it beautiful the resistance would
flying to a rage they would say it's so mean of donald to mention the blue sky what about people
who live where it's raining doesn't he care about them how can he be so thoughtless and nasty
another time donald saw a mother and child what a cute little baby he said how dare he refer to
someone's looks, the resistor said. He's so superficial. And what about people whose babies aren't
so cute? Doesn't Donald care about them? Donald is a monster. Anyway, it kind of goes on like that.
And so some people got confused and they said, maybe we should go to Donald and ask him, like,
what's going on? So they do. And he says, look, let me explain something. When I was a builder of caves,
you remember from the previous books, he was a builder of caves, Donald of the Caveman,
he was very successful. He says, I was successful. And when you're successful, you have enemies.
And those who us who are free and love freedom have been extremely successful. Look at this
wonderful country we've built. So naturally, there are some who are going to be jealous. They don't
like our freedom, but they don't have the courage to leave our country and go somewhere else.
Sad. So they say, so the stories aren't true. He goes, of course not. Those stories are what I call
fake news. Fake news. What's that? Fake news is when something pretends.
to be true, but it's not. You mean it's a lie? Precisely. But I say we ignore the fake news and just
keep working hard and enjoying our freedom. So basically, the people in the resistance,
they decide to come up with a whole fake news plan based on Donald goes to a deli and orders
a Rubin sandwich and it has Russian dressing on it. And they realize, aha, Russian dressing,
we can just say that he's he's president so that he can make money everything he's doing he's the puppet
of the Russian dressing salad manufacturer and so they launched that hoax and well it eventually they
kind of have this kind of impeachment type thing and no evidence is found and it's really it's really a
pity but well it goes on from there I don't know if I want to tell the whole thing but at some point
They have an investigation, and Madam Miss Speaker holds up the Constitution.
But at the end, Donald launches all these truth bombs with these little blue birds that they just, they speak truth.
And the truth makes the resistance crack.
And the leader of the resistance cracks, she tears up the Constitution.
Can you believe somebody would do a thing like that?
It's funny how your book is, it says right on the front, it's based on a true story.
Exactly.
story. And at the end of it, you know, Donald wins re-election. It's honestly, there's stuff in here.
I'm not going to read the whole thing on the year, but it's, it's weird because it's funny,
but there, it's really, you know, it is like true, right? I mean, it's kind of a simple
cartoon version of what's happening right now. But I keep saying, I think that our side needs to be
able to laugh at the other side. If we don't make fun of it, we're going to crack up because we have
to fight, we have to pray, but we have to laugh. And so I've written these books, you know,
they look like kids' books, but they're really intended to be adult humor books as political satire.
But because they're so simple and there's no bad words and there's nothing nasty, a lot of people
use them as kids' books to kind of explain what's going on. So anyway, I hope people will get a
copy as soon as possible because the beginning of a book.
when it launches is the most important time.
But I just, it's hard not to be happy when you,
but look, Donald's right behind me.
If you're watching this on video, folks,
you're seeing some strange stuff.
I hope you're not.
I hope you're just listening on the radio.
Oh, go ahead, Almond.
No, I just real quick,
Tim Ragland's artwork is phenomenal.
I mean, for the kids, for the adults,
it's just wonderful artwork.
I know.
We know he's a genius.
He really is a genius.
What he's able to do,
he's always amazed me.
And, you know, he was the one that originally got me to take a second look at Trump because I was, you know, typical New Yorker.
I didn't really like Trump.
I thought he was vulgar.
I kind of hated him.
And then I got a second look and I thought I may have missed something.
Hey, Eric, I was just going to ask, not to, you know, I know this is launch date, but this is how my wife, you know, works too.
She's always thinking ahead to the next thing and she's not even enjoying it.
Is there going to be a fourth one because I have a good story pitch?
well of course i mean i think we've got to come out with one a year now some people think that all i do
is write these books now i mean i'm working on long adult books just as i always have and one is
going to be coming out in the two coming out next year but um but yeah i'd like to do a book a year
what's your idea it's uh it's centered around donald son baron the gentle giant
have you seen baron lately he's so tall but he's such a gentle giant yeah i don't i don't think i can
right about the president's kids.
Hey, hey, what about Donald Trump Jr.?
last night? He had a great quote. He said that Joe
Biden is basically the Loch Ness monster of the swamp.
I like that. That's sort of, you know,
mythical beasts. Really, yeah, you can never
see him, but he's there.
That is actually really a good line. I went to bed right
before that because I had to get up for early radio
interviews. I've been doing radio interviews.
There are other radio programs.
So did I.
I have a bad boss, too.
But I stayed up late.
You stayed up late.
Well, I'm glad you guys were able to see it.
Listen, before we go, and by the way, this Trump impersonator coming up, the dude is a genius, a comedic genius.
We have to get him back ASAP.
I mean, we really need to get him back, you know, at least before the election.
But I think more than once, he's just too good.
But I want to see, before we know, we are doing, we just got a final 16.
days, push for food for the poor folks. You know we're trying to help kids that are literally
starving in our hemisphere in Guatemala and Haiti because of the COVID situation. Supply lines
have broken down for food. And we need everybody to step up to do what we can. We're blessed to be a
blessing. So I want to encourage you. Please go to metaxis talk.com. $37 feeds a starving kid
for six months, two good meals a day for six months. That's how far the American dollar
goes. If you want to call the number, you can go to Metaxistock.com or you can call 844-8663 Hope,
844-863 Hope. We genuinely need your help. If you can give a lot of money, whatever you can give,
folks, 844-863, Hope, 844-8663, hope, or go to Metaxistock.com. Please give. We're very
grateful. Folks, once again, it is my high privilege and misdemeanor to introduce the
president of these United States, Donald J. Trump. President Trump, what does the J
stand for? Well, I, you know what? A lot of people think, because I love the Jewish people,
tremendous people, great people, hardworking people, the Jewish people, and I love Israel.
A lot of people think it's Donald, Jewish, Trump, but it's actually genius. It's actually
genius because I'm a stable genius, and that's why it's Jay. My parents knew in advance.
That's very interesting.
and I wouldn't even bother the fact-checked that because I would have.
There's no need.
A lot of people know I'm a genius and I call it with a J.
And I've trademarked that.
I've trademarked that.
Since Joe Biden is non-compos mentis, as we say, in the Latin class that I teach up at 14.
I knew that.
I knew that.
I knew that.
Because I took Latin.
I'm bilateral.
I knew that you were talking Latin.
Wow.
That's fantastic.
I guess I just want to be.
wanted to say that because of that, because his faculties have declined or been defunded altogether,
it seems that Kamala Harris may very well essentially be the next president. What do you say about
her policy? Well, first off, I just want to say that she's a nasty, nasty woman. And I will not
forget how mean she was to Brett Kavanaugh, one of the Supremes, the way she was so mean to,
asking him questions about stuff he did for his lifetime appointment.
But now that he's one of the Supremes, it's all over, but I won't forget.
I won't forget.
And, you know, people like her, there's no place in politics for that kind of meanness.
She's a mean, nasty, horrible, rotten person.
And I don't think anyone should stand for her the way she acted during that hearing.
Because I'm a nice guy.
And I would never do that to anybody.
But her policies are terrible.
Her policies are terrible.
I hate to direct the sitting president,
but her name is,
it should be pronounced, Carmela Harris.
Wasn't I saying Carmela?
She's Italian, right?
Yes.
And so is the Virgin Mary, which we all know.
By the way, by the way,
I'm trying to come up with a nickname for her.
We're workshopping it down to the situation
when we were thinking of Cruella, Camela, anything, nothing?
I think, I think Kamala Akbar Harris.
Kamala Akbar, doesn't really roll off my tongue.
How about cancel Carmela?
How about cancel Carmela?
That's good, right?
Because she's into that whole cancel culture thing.
Maybe Donna Shalala Harris.
Donna Shalala Harris.
That sounds Irish.
That sounds Irish.
Shalelelele is sounds Irish.
She'lletley's a club.
Well, look, you may well be running more against her in the next.
Oh, believe me, I know, because Joe has nothing to run on.
He's like the invisible man.
I'm running against her.
I'm running against her.
And believe me, she is, she's not a good person.
She's not a good person.
She wants to defund the police.
She wants to defund the police.
How can somebody defund the police?
I mean, it seems so preposterous to your average American.
And what can she possibly mean?
Well, she was the one who got the TV show cops canceled.
She got the TV show Live PD canceled.
She defunded Paul Patrol, which I think is terrible.
She wants to get rid of McGruff the crime dog
because she doesn't want kids to be cops.
And I've met him.
And by the way, that's a guy in a dog suit.
That's not a dog on his hind legs.
A lot of people don't, they think it's a real thing.
It's not.
But they want to get rid of,
they want to get rid of McGruff the crime dog.
So I don't trust her.
wants to sell off everything in the military, like a big garage sale. She just wants to sell all of it.
It's just a big garage to just sell everything, sell the, sell the submarine, sell the guns.
We're going to make a lot of money, of course, but that's, we need an army. We need an army because
who's going to salute me if we don't have an army, right? And no one salutes the way I salute.
I got to tell you, that is a fact, and anybody can look it up. But, you know, I want to turn to
the fact that your critics often say that you look orange.
And I would take that as a compliment.
You know, you spend a lot of time in the sun.
Right.
How do you get that unnatural glow?
Well, I have to tell you, you know, a lot of people always say about the orange and the white
around the eyes and things like that.
But, you know, a lot of people, they say, I don't eat vegetables.
I don't eat vegetables.
But I love those little tiny carrots because I get to dip those in ranch dressing.
So I think I'm eating too many.
carrots and that's giving me that orange glow. And of course, I do like the goff and I don't believe
in sunscreen. I don't believe in anything that blocks the sun. The sun is so important. It's so
important. You know what I mean? Because if you block the sun, well, I don't want solar energy
because that's free. But you know what I'm talking about. The sun's important. And what about wind energy?
What's your stance on wind energy? You know how I feel about wind energy. First off,
there's things are so like, eh, and they give you cancer. A lot of
people don't know that, that those things give you ear cancer and it killed. If you love birds,
if you love birds, go to one of those windmill farms in California or wherever. What's,
what's laying down there? Dead birds. And there's a bunch of little dead bird headstones.
It's really sad. It's really sad. And I love birds. I love birds. And they're just killing the
birds. They're killing the birds. And they actually take more electricity to run those things than
they make. Does that make any sense? Does that make any sense? Yeah. It's actually, it's the opposite.
It's the opposite.
That's interesting.
So you don't use sunscreen.
No.
And then let me ask you, what is your general health?
I mean, you're in your 70s now.
What is your health?
Well, you know I took the cognitive test.
I keep it close by.
It's right here.
I got an A plus on the cognitive.
I did really, really well on that.
And I can remember it like that if you want to test beyond any element of it.
But my general health is incredible.
Ronnie Jackson, Dr. Ronnie, said I am the greatest, most physically fit president in the history of presidents.
If you and Jimmy Carter were to have a 50-yard dash, I think you would win. We're going to be right back.
Folks, I'm talking to the president of the United States of America. His name is Donald J. Trump.
Such an honor, Mr. President, to have you. It is. It's an honor for you.
A lot of people know that you're going to be reelected because it's a choice between, you know,
radical communism and Paul Revere-style American liberty.
A lot of people think that four years for you to accomplish what's necessary is not enough.
So would you be open to running for a third or fourth term or even just doing something
where you don't even need to run?
You could declare yourself president for life.
Would you at least say that you wouldn't take that off the table?
No, I'm going to go.
I'm going to put my cards on the table right now because as I've been saying,
you know, look, look at the Constitution.
It's very old.
It's very old.
I've seen it.
I've seen it.
It's on very old paper.
It's a very old idea, especially about term limits with this country needs.
You know, you've got Putin, president for life.
You got Xi Zheng, whatever his name is, in China.
He's president for life.
You got Kim Jong-un, president for life.
You got Erdogan, essentially president for life.
So what's going to work best in a situation like that?
Me as president for life, because I've already built the relationships with these guys.
Why would you bring a Joe Biden and start from scratch, right?
So I think canceling the election, having me president for life, it makes the smartest thing.
And in fact, in fact, people like this idea.
One party system, president for life.
Even Chuck Schumer came up to me the other day after a meeting and said, I hope you get life.
You see, even he gets it.
Even he gets it.
I was going to say that a lot of people say that you have an authoritarian way of governing,
that you are effectively a dictator.
And I can't think of what dictator wouldn't expect to be dictator for life.
I mean, that kind of goes along with the whole dictator category.
Does it not?
Eric, you are so on point on this.
Listen, I don't need oversight.
This is why I'm getting rid of the IGs.
I don't need the Congress.
This is why I'm doing the executive orders.
And frankly, I still can't figure it.
around what the Senate does. So I think we get rid of that stuff. Let me do what I do best. Let me do
what I do best. And this country will turn around so fast, it'll make your headspin. It'll make
your headspin. And to do that, you've got to give me free reign. And to do that, you've got to let me
be president for life. And I think you're going to be very, very happy. And the founding fathers
whose ideas were a little wishy-washy on this whole term limits thing, they didn't really get it.
They didn't see me coming.
They didn't see me coming.
If they saw me coming, they would have written that constitution a little differently.
Pretty sure the idea of term limits is not in the Constitution, but of course, who am I to
contradict the president of the United States?
But I was to say that the idea of term limits, I think it's a good idea for everyone
but the dictator.
Exactly.
Everybody else.
Yeah.
It's like voting.
It's like voting.
Only smart people should vote.
vote. Not stupid people. We got a lot of stupid people. So why should we let them vote? Right? Why should we let them vote? That's not good. I never, that's not good. I never, I never thought of that. On day one of your next term, are you willing to put a Kathy Griffin in jail for for beheading you? Guantanamo. Guantanamo. She'll be playing to a nice, big audience of terrorists in Guantanamo. We're going to be getting rid of it.
I remember the day that she beheaded you, most people thought, you know, your political career would be over.
But that's not what happened, really.
No, I just grow, you know, irony.
I just grow stronger.
The more people hate me, it's like kryptonite.
If I remember kryptonite, right, because I remember Tillerson was talking to me about kryptonite.
And with kryptonite, the more you hate it, the more stronger you get.
The more stronger you get.
The more stronger, the more stronger.
Not just the stronger you get.
The more stronger you get.
The more stronger.
Powerfully stronger.
And grammatically incorrect, which is very interesting.
That's very rare combination.
Let me ask.
Well, that's what I am.
I'm a rare combination of genius and, you know, somebody who's a great leader.
Do you ever regret having kicked your first wife to the curb in the way that you did in such a public?
way. You mean Ivana? No. No, she deserved it. She's a tough lady. She's a tough lady. And she
came back around. She came back around because everyone always does. Everyone always does.
So she has publicly supported you. Absolutely. Absolutely. She said, you know, she was the one
who said Trump, 2016. She came up with that. Is that right? That's incredible.
But she said it in that very thick accent.
A lot of people want to know why you chose, I guess it's four or a half, five years ago now, to come down the escalator.
Was there something symbolic in using an escalator to, you know, I just, I never really heard anybody ask you about that.
I've always been dying to ask you, why did you come down the escalator?
Because I don't like elevators.
They're very tiny.
They're very tiny.
And I'm a big guy.
I don't like being in confined spaces.
But I love open escalators, and the escalators at Trump Tower, New York are the greatest escalators in the history of escalators.
I think you know that because they're like that gold tin on them.
And no one has gold tin escalators like I do.
And if they had filmed you coming down in the elevator, most of it, you wouldn't have been on camera anyway.
See that?
You're starting to think like me, Eric, just like the rest of the country.
You're starting to think like me.
Well, it's an extraordinary idea.
I think if you're going to make your entrance.
And also, if it had been merely stairs,
you know, you'd be huffing and puffing,
and there's just a lot of opportunity to trip.
I don't really like stairs.
I don't like stairs.
I don't like going up the stairs on Air Force One.
I don't like people staring at my back.
I don't like that.
You don't like people staring at your back?
At my back.
At my front is fine,
but I don't like people behind me looking at me.
I can feel them.
That's where you and Joe Biden differ.
He actually, he's been on the record.
that he likes people to stare at his back.
I don't know why.
We're going to be right back, folks.
I'm talking to the president of the United States, Donald J. 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.
Okay.
Now,
there are a lot of people who haven't done that and we have your names here.
And Chris Heim's and Albin pointed out to me that there's like three pages of you whose first name is Eric.
You yourself.
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,
that I see who you are, and I just feel humiliated by this.
Please go to go to mypillar.com.
Use the code, Eric.
You're going to get whopping savings and really high quality products.
Did I mention that?
Folks, I'm talking to the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
President Trump, let me ask you, Joe Biden has vowed that if he's elected to put a black man
on the moon by the end of the decade because he just believes in that kind of outcome-based equality,
and it doesn't make much sense.
But you've started the space force.
And tell us about your view of taking over outer space
and painting it red, white, and blue figuratively
and possibly somewhat literally.
Well, I think as we all know,
during the initial space race,
all eyes were on America.
And we got there first.
We got to the moon.
We landed there.
We built a wonderful little community up there.
And I want to do that on other planets,
the space,
I think, you know, the UFO videos have come out.
You know this.
This is a fact.
The Navy has released them.
We need spaceships that are just as fast as the aliens,
and no one is as innovative as we are.
Obviously, the aliens are coming here.
They're not saying anything.
They're not talking to our guys.
So I just have to think it's a hostile situation.
So we need the space force immediately to get up and running
so we can conquer.
space and to find out if there's any fossil fuels on any of the other planets.
Have you heard anything about the rumor that Hillary Clinton is actually a lizard guys?
Can you talk about that? Because there's a lot of confusion.
You know what? I don't know if she was at my wedding, and, you know, everyone knows.
You know, she was at my wedding along with Bill when I got married to Melania.
And I did see her at some of the buffets and she wasn't eating off a place.
I just saw the tongue shoot out, dart down to the food, and the food would come right back up.
So that's what I'm going to assume is that she is a lizard person or she was incredibly hungry, one of the two.
Well, see, a lot of people don't hear these stories because the mainstream media doesn't want them to hear these stories.
But that's just the kind of thing.
It's the reason I believe God gave me this program.
Right.
And I have to be totally honest, I think Mnuchin's a lizard too, I have to tell.
But he's been great for you.
But he's my lizard.
But he's my lizard.
Exactly.
He's your lizard.
You know, my friend, Mike Lendell.
Did you see his wife?
Did you see his wife?
Oh, there, there's Mike.
Mike Lendell often comes on to the program to remind us that if you go to mypillow.com,
you're supposed to use the code Eric.
Eric, like my son.
And your son is named Eric.
And I was just going to say, Mike Lendell, he's a hero when he was in the Rose Garden.
You know, he told people this is a great time, spend time with their family, spend time in the Bible.
And people just went crazy, but it made him even more of a folk hero than he is, but not as much of a folk hero as you are.
But I know that you guys are close and that you're very close to coming up with a cure for COVID.
Can you talk about that?
Well, first of them, I just want to say that I, you know, I introduced Mike to the world and his approval numbers are through the roof.
and because of me introducing him,
my approval numbers are through the roof.
But on COVID, Dr. Fauci,
he gets like 100%, and no one likes me,
which I don't like, which I don't like,
because I don't get that.
I introduce Mike, my numbers go up.
I introduce Fauci and my numbers go down.
Makes no sense to me.
Makes no sense to me.
Makes me think that the poll numbers are rigged on these things.
Makes me think that.
But as far, what was your question about COVID?
I believe that you and our friend,
Mike Lindell of my pillow are collaborating on a cure for COVID-based.
Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
It's a botanical extract from a botanical, and they extract it out of the botanical,
and then you take it and it kills COVID virtually on contact,
and Mike is going to be lining his pillows with this.
So it'll be the COVID-19 killer pillow, which I think is absolutely incredible.
So you'll be sleeping on it at night.
You'll be taking in the botanical that's been extracted.
And when you stiff it, it kills the COVID in its sleep because the COVID is a silent killer.
And now we have a silent killer to fight the silent killer.
It's a lot of silent killing.
So you don't have to be, you don't have to be that loud.
It's silent.
I'm so sorry we're out of time.
Mr. President, just an honor to have you on this program.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I want a doll like Mike.
Can you send me that?
Sure.
