The Eric Metaxas Show - John Di Domineco

Episode Date: December 27, 2023

President Trump returns with some Christmas wishes and a Trump on a shelf.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time once again for the Eric Metaxis show. Did you know that Eric has made it onto Santa's naughty list for the past 18 years in a row? Well, if that's okay with you, stick around. Here comes Mr. Big Lump of Cole himself, Eric Mattaxas. Hey there, folks. At this joyous time of year, we bring you loads of Christmas cheer. That's a quote from Bugs Bunny, one of my favorite character. But I got to tell you, Christmas cheer. What does that even mean? It means a lot of things.

One of the things it means to me, every year on this program, we get to participate in it's the very meaning of Christmas. It is so beautiful. I don't know what angle to hit it from. I will just start right at the middle. Jesus came to set the captives free. You've heard of that. CSI, Christian Solidarity International, we partner with them every year at this time in this Christmas season to set literal captives free, to literally set them free. We're not talking about metaphorically, although, of course, that's a part of it. But in this case, it's literal. There are captives in Sudan. We have talked about it on the program before.

They are literally enslaved, not sort of enslaved, literally enslaved. it's horrifying, but CSI has been at work for years and years working, figuring out how to free them. This is modern day abolition. This is wiping out slavery in a part of the world where it exists right now today. If you love Jesus, if you love other people, this is something you can do at this time of year. And I often say to people, why do you do this in somebody's name? Say, hey, grandpa, in your name, you didn't need another sweater. in your name, we freed a slave. We freed a captive. $250 is the total price. If you can give that to free a person to set them up in a life of freedom. I have CSI's Todd Chapman on with me right now. Todd, welcome back. Thanks, Eric. Always good to be here with you.

Yeah, it's exciting to me that we get to actually do this. And I want my audience to be excited that you get to live out your faith in a way that it's rarely so clear. so simple, so obvious, that by giving a certain amount of money, you're contributing to actually free people from slavery. Give us the background. You said that it was it in the 90s that there was this war in Sudan? Yeah, so it actually started in 1983, and basically what happened was the Islamic, you know, reigning government, if you will, basically said to Sudanese Christians,

you don't have a right to, you know, religious freedom anymore. You can't be a Christian. And then they partnered with Arab-backed militia and turned them loose to go on raiding parties. And anybody that they encountered who didn't convert to Islam, they were allowed to take them captive. And so what they did, these are South Sudanese residents, many of them Christians. And they said, I'm not converting. They took them to North Sudan. And they became indentured slaves to primarily cattle ranchers up in that country.

and they have remained there to this day, many of them. I mean, now tens of thousands have been set free, thanks to generous Christians, many of which Eric Metaxus listeners were so grateful for that. But there are still thousands and thousands of men, women, and now grown, but they were children when they were abducted, who are still in slavery. They've had children in slavery. So we've got now multi-generations of slaves,

and we're working every year to set them free. What we do is we have slave retrievers, is what we call them. They go and they negotiate with these cattle ranchers who have slaves. And we're able to exchange cattle vaccines that they need. They can't get them very easily. They can't afford to buy them. And we negotiate the slaves' freedom. So there's no cash exchanging hands.

There's no chance that we're going to somehow encourage them to go take more slaves. That's actually outlawed now. They can't go take more slaves. We're just trying to free the ones that remain. And every year, we have three or four slave liberations. We go up and retrieve as many as we can. And we bring them back to South Sudan. There's a big party when we get them down.

We celebrate their freedom. And where we can, we get them reunited with their family. Many times they haven't seen their family, their parents, their extended family in decades. And we reunite them. If we can find them, we get them anchored in a church and a faith community. And they get skills training, whatever they need to get them on a path to a new life. It is, as you said, Eric, it's a picture of the gospel. This is the gospel.

And I echo what you said. This is something that every Christian needs to be. involved with because it's so simple. It's not expensive. $250. I mean, so many of us are so blessed that $250 will not appreciably change our quality or standard of life at all, especially, you know, if you did that once a year, we can all afford to do that. Maybe you can do much more than that. But man, just celebrate that God is bringing you again this opportunity to rescue a human being from slavery. And we thank you for even considering it. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's an unbelievable thing. And I want to say, folks, $250 is the amount that does it, right? So that not just

frees the slave from slavery, but even more, and this is the larger part of the $250, sets them up in a life of freedom. We've talked about it on the program before. They get what CSI calls a bag of hope. They get all this stuff that enables them to go into a life of freedom. It's not like you're just set out on the street. Like, okay. you're free now. Now you have to figure out how do I go forward. So they literally get a goat. They get seeds to plant.

It's a whole system that CSI has worked out and everything. Freeing the slave, this celebration that is put on once they're freed, and then setting them up in a life of freedom is all for $250. So you thank God for a strong U.S. dollar, that $250 of your money can do all of this. It's not $2,500. It's $250. You can do this. And I say to people, get your kids involved. What are we doing for Christmas, Mommy? I'll tell you what we're doing. There are human beings in the world that are enslaved. Oh, I thought slavery was abolished. Well, it was abolished in the West. But there are Muslims who believe, according to their religion, that they are able, allowed to enslave people, and they have done it. But we, because we're Christians, have the, we have the ability to free. these slaves. We believe in doing that. What do we get back? We get back the joy of knowing we participate in what God is doing in the world today through people who actually believe in him and who live out their faith. Faith without works is dead. This is something we get to do. It's amazing to me, Todd, that CSI has made this possible because it's one thing we could say, oh, wouldn't it be great if? Well, CSI has done this. Do you know how long CSI's been doing this? I mean, because to set this up, for such a long, so that they can actually do this. This is what's amazing to me.

Yeah, we actually got involved in this work in 1995, where, you know, we were aware that this had happened and we began actually negotiating the legislation to be passed that this could no longer happen again. So CSI had a hand in negotiating that process and made ongoing slavery enslavement of these Sudanese Christians illegal. And then we tried to get some legislation passed that would actually mandate that they be set free, failed at that. And so that's when we began, we just said, well, if, you know, if the governments aren't going to help us do this, we'll go out and do it. And we've come to

Christians all around the world, especially here in the U.S. every, every year since. And you've so generously donated tens of thousands of these slaves have been freed because of the compassion and the love of Christians. And there's many more. We've got to get another liberation coming up early this year. And so we're hoping and praying that during our year-end campaign, we do this every year. here on your program. We're hoping and praying that we can see at least another 700 slaves liberated. We've done far more than that in the past. And so who knows what God will do.

But he does it through you. So thank you for giving generously. Thank you for praying about what God would have you do. We're so grateful for you. And I want to say, folks, you should be so excited. You get to do this. This is not an idea. This is like, I got an idea.

I wonder if, no, you actually get to do this. CSI has done the work by the grace of the Lord. have done all this work. They've set this up. They have the people already in the process of this. All they need is our money so they can do it. So they can buy the things to set these slaves up now in a life of freedom and so on and so forth. So if you can't give $250, what can you give? $50, $100. Whatever you can give, whatever you can give goes to freeing actual slaves. I want to give you the phone number.

This is an exciting thing you could do at this time of year to make your faith real, to make Christmas come to life. Do it. God bless you. Folks, right now in other parts of the world, people's lives are being threatened simply for believing in Jesus. People have been enslaved for their faith. So listeners to this show know that I'm passionate about the work of Christian Solidarity International because they protect and free those who are being persecuted and enslaved for their Christian faith. I've got to thank you for your life-changing generosity for years now. If you've given a CSI through this program, you have played a role in freeing literally thousands of people.

of captives. So as we near the end of this year, can I ask you to give once again your gift of just $250 will free a woman in Sudan who has been enslaved for years?

Hey there, folks. Listen, I have to say that, you know, I have supported Donald Trump for a long time. I do not support the folks that are running against him in the so-called primary. I think it's inevitable that he will be the nominee and I hope will be the next president.

But, you know, as I also want to be clear that I normally would love to have the president on this program. But normally, you know, he's doing big political programs and whatever, and he wouldn't come on this program. But he's so sweet and generous that by God's grace, I was able to get President Trump on today's program. Mr. President, welcome. Thank you so much for being on this program. Hello, Eric. It is an honor for you to have me, I have to tell you. Your ratings, no my gift to you is tremendous ratings, incredible ratings,

off-the-chart ratings, which I do every time I'm on any show, any show at all. It's incredible. Some of the biggest ratings ever on this program, there's no doubt about it, Mr. President. What you've ever seen, the likes of which you've never seen. When you see the printout of these ratings, you're going to have a heart attack. You're going to just, you're going to, you're going to kiss my feet. It might be the biggest, it might be the biggest heart attack possibly ever.

You look very fit, though. You look very fit, you're not a vegan. Well, thank you very much. No, I'm not, no, I'm not a vegan. I was raised as a Christian. You like steak. I like steak. Listen, Jesus ate Passover lamb.

So Jesus was not a vegetarian. And I take my, and I don't know where these hippies got from and say, don't eat the baby lambs, don't eat the chickens, don't eat the cows. You know what? We're higher on the food chain. I mean, which is just how it is. Now, listen, I've got to be clear because this is a radio program, any TV program. There are many people that don't watch these videos. Ladies and gentlemen, if you are not watching this right now, first of all, you don't know whether I'm speaking actually to the president.

It could just be a Trump impersonator. But bigger than that, if you're watching this on video, now this is on Rumble, and if you go to my website, EricMetakis.com, you can actually sign up. and we'll send you these videos once a week we set out these videos, because you're missing a lot. And this is where it comes to my question. If people are listening on the radio, they're not going to get this. Mr. President, as much as it is an honor to speak with you,

I confess I'm a little surprised at what you're wearing. You are wearing, it looks like a Santa costume. I've never seen you, Mr. President, in a Santa costume. I just don't like the white gloves. It feels weird. It feels weird. The gloves feel weird. I mean, look at these heads.

Eric, look at these hands. He's a big billionaire presidential hands. By the way, no complaint. You know what they say? Big hands, big gloves, but I don't like wearing them. You don't like wearing gloves. Well, but I just want to ask you, Mr. President, because, you know, I expect to talk to you about the election of the country. I did not expect to see you wearing a Santa costume.

And I don't think I've ever seen a president of the United States wearing a Santa outfit. What is the, what's the occasion or what prompts you to wear it today? Listen, listen. What does Santa Claus? What does Santa Claus do? I remember when I was a kid in Queens, I'd wake up on Christmas morning. There were wonderful gifts

and made everybody feel good. And this is what I'm doing for our country. I'm the Santa Claus who is going to make America feel good again. We're going to have lots of gifts for the right people, nothing but gold for the wrong people. And I just want to let people know. That's why I had Alina Habah, Habadabadoo,

my wonderful attorney and assistant, She got me this great costume, and we didn't, we got it at a real shop. This was not made in China. This was made somewhere else entirely. I think it was Vietnam. But that's not China. Somewhere else entirely. So the whole costume was made someplace else.

We beat, we beat Vietnam. We won. We won. So that's why I don't mind getting this from Vietnam. Well, I know you're not ashamed of Christmas, and I know that your slogan. You know that I brought Christmas back. I brought Christmas back. You brought Christmas back from the dead because the liberals tried to kill it.

It's a great threat to them. Anything joyful, anything involving elves, they're very triggered by that. They're very true. You know what? Now the big thing is you can't wish people happy birthday. They say it's agest. They say it's ages. Wish people happy birthday.

And what about the people? Oh, happy birthday. Oh, you get a lot of heat for that. You get canceled for wishing people happy birthday. And what about the people who that day, it's not their birthday? What are they supposed to take that line down? no wonder. They're very upset. But your slogan when you run for a third term as dictator would be, is going to be Christmas morning every morning of your life in America. I think that's

what you said. Right. That's very close because, you know, Reagan did it with its morning in America, but with me it's Christmas morning in America. They had the Bartles and James guy do the voiceover. It's very effective. Because you're not ashamed of Christmas or America. Neither, nothing. You know, I was the one, you know, under Obama, they, you know, we couldn't have Christmas. Eight years, we weren't allowed to celebrate. We had to celebrate in secret because if you said Merry Christmas, you were arrested. You were arrested.

There's still people in jail because they said, Merry Christmas. There's eight horrible years. Joe Biden, Sleepy Joe, who's walking around the White House right now. Oh, oh, where am I? Casparilla, Malarkey. Oh, I don't want Christmas. He's walking around the White House, which under me, under my, Melania's beautiful,

Christmassy touch. Didn't it look absolutely incredible? One year we did all red, all red, and then another year we did all white, and then another year we did all white, which I thought was great, because it was a continuation of the year before, because that's what you want to do,

continuation, continuation, contiguousness. You know, it's funny you bring that up because it reminds me of the fact that you are, even though most people know you're going to be the nominee of the party, there are a number of people who seem to think that they may have a chance to bring you down. They're like these young Turks.

They want to bring down, you know, this bull elephant, Donald Trump. They want to show up. They want to show off. They're full of them in vigor, as they say, or piss in vinegar or something in vinegar. Something. Yeah, something in vinegar. But what do you make of the fact that they're still having debates? What do you make of that?

Why are they having debates? Why are they having debates? I don't get it. It makes no sense to me because I'm going to win. I'm, like, 45, 50% out. I mean, you got Ron DeBackstabber up there who looks like a mechanical human who can barely smile, who can barely walk. You got Vavec Ramoswamy, who I actually like, because he always protects me.

But, you know, Vivek's not going to get it. And why is it every time I see him his hair gets higher and high? higher and higher, and his teeth get bigger and bigger and whiter. What is happening in that guy? Is he on a Zempec or something? Something's not right with him. And Nikki, Nikki, I'm so sad. I'm so sad about Nikki.

I think she's trying to get the VP spot. That's not going to happen. And then you got Chris Christie who's pulling at negative numbers. Chris Christie is literally pulling at negative numbers. This guy doesn't get it. You know what I mean? He looks like the Hindenberg. It's unbelievable.

He has more chins than a Chinese phone book. It's true. It's just really, I don't know. Did you just make that up? That's very clever. That's very clever. No, you say he looks like the Hindenberg, and I would not have, I would not have said that. But the phrase, oh, the humanity comes to mind every time I see Chris Christie float into the room. Yeah.

It's real. No, it's an extraordinary thing. But do you watch these debates? No, I don't watch them. I don't watch them. don't watch them. I just hear people tell me about them and that I, that way I know what happened

with Ramaswami, Nikki, by the way, by the way, you know this, you know this, Eric. Her name's not Nikki Haley. You know that, right? I've heard that. I've heard that. At least Vivek, Vavec, Ramaswamy, Ramoswamy. At least he uses his real name. Mickey Haley. It's not

Nikki Haley. What is Nikki Haley's real name? Is it Claudine Langeet? Was she once married to Andy I don't think it's something as sexy as not. I think it's like Patel, Patel, Patel, Patel, something like that. There's a lot of Patel's. There's a lot of Patel's over there. You know the number one export of India is Indians? Did you know that?

Does it bother you that Ron DeSantis has been coming after you as aggressively as he's been doing? Oh, you know, he's desperate. Hold on one second. Our security dogs are barking. I think Antifis here. I think Antif is here. Antifa, is that your house?

I'm here at the white. This is the press room at the White House here in, you know, the woman who built Mar-Lago wanted to be the White House South. You know that, right? That's a fact. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can look that up. But we have an incredible security team here, and people are always sneaking on the grounds, and we want to make sure we're 100% not for me, but for the members of Mar-a-Lago.

And by the way, it is the Christmas season, and we're having a. Not a discount, but we're reducing the membership. You know, it's $250,000. Today only for people watching this, we're knocking off $10. Imagine that. $250,000. We're knocking off $10. I'm sure it's going to be an overwhelming group of people who want to join.

And we're practically full at this point with all the incredible. And Mar-A-Lago, I was just there, and it really hurt me. Isn't the food amazing? That you were not there. I was very hurt, but I'm not going to mention that. publicly. We'll be right back. Folks, I'm talking to the President of the United States. Donald J. Trump. Stick around. Tell me why Relief Factor is so successful at lowering

or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question. Just the other night, I was asked that question. Well, the owners of Relief Factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right. Designed to heal. And I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated Relief Factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug-free ingredients, and each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief.

Folks, I just want to tell you, I am speaking with President Donald Trump, the 45th and by God's grace, the 47th President of the United States. And I want to say that before we get back to the conversation, which has been scintillating, perhaps more scintillating than any conversation I've ever had with anyone ever, past, present, or future. I want to say before I get back to that simulating conversation, that one of the favorite things I've ever seen on TV was I used to watch the Carol Burnett Show, and there's a scene where Harvey Corman and Tim Conway play Nazis. And at some point, as they're interrogating the American prisoner played by Lyle Wagoner, the Nazi. The Great Low Wagner.

The Nazi played by Tim Conway pulls out a Hitler puppet. It's one of the greatest things I've ever seen. I actually talked to Tim Conway about it. And I'm bringing it up right now because I think something similar is happening on this program. If you're watching it by video, you may already know what I'm talking about. Mr. President, what are you holding in your hand? And can you sing I've been working on the railroad? It is Trump on a shelf.

and it's specifically for all of your your liberal, left-leaning, and Tifa, communist, fascistic, Marxist friends. It has two little cameras on it. And you can, you give it to them and say, oh, I know you don't like Trump, but here's a little gift. It's kind of ironic. And it records everything they do.

It records everything they do. And that way, when I'm back in office, we can arrest them because we'll have video tape. You know what? I love the fact that you're out. and proud about that you're going to be a dictator. Because a lot of people just think, oh, that's just talk. But I know that you don't just say stuff.

You're going to make it happen. And it's going to be a good dictatorship. Perhaps the best dictatorship ever, potentially ever. Well, here's the reason. Here's the reason. When I was president, I kept running into all these guys, these inspector generals who are trying to tell me what to do. And I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm the president. So I said, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired. I fired seven inspector generals. And because I can't be, I can't do the job right if I'm hindered by all these things, like the Congress and the Senate. So I'm going to be getting rid of the Congress. I'm going to be getting rid of the Senate.

And we're going to save so much money. We're going to save so much money not having those things that drag me down. I was going to say you can, you can conflate, you can be chancellor of Germany and president of Germany now that Hindenburg has passed. passed on. And it's a beautiful thing. I just want to say thank you for saving the tax pay the money because now we can just... So much money. We don't need to pay, you know, what's your name, AOC and the other ones and all the senators who somehow got so rich. You know, Mitch McConnell entered the Senate a thousand years ago and he was broke. And now he's

a millionaire. So we got to get rid of these guys. I'm going to get rid of everybody. But before I do, we're going to change one thing. One thing. And that's for me to have unlimited terms. I'm going to be president for life. President for life. Eric doesn't have a nice ring to it. President for life. It is a very nice ring to it.

And, you know, I know that there's a constitutional amendment that says you can't have more than two terms. But since you're abolishing the Constitution, that's the beauty of abolishing the Constitution. You can just do whatever. Suspending. Oh, you're just going to suspend it. It'll be there.

You just won't do. That's good to know. Now, by the way, I've got a couple of things. of hard-hitting questions to ask you. First of all, you did say that you fired seven inspector generals, and I want to be very clear since I'm a writer and an English major, it's seven inspect... I love English. I love English.

It's my favorite language. Thank you. And therefore, I want to be clear with my audience, it properly should not be seven inspector generals, but seven inspectors general. Seven inspectors general. But I didn't go to Wharton. I'm not a business guy, so I just have to throw that in there. But I want to ask you, here's a hard-hitting question.

I don't know why they were so mad at me when I fired them. I didn't have the title right. That's right. Inspectors General. Attorneys General, inspectors general. But let me ask you, Mr. President, because it's so rare that I get to speak to a president. I want to ask the kind of a question that you'd ask people, say, if you ever got a chance to speak to President Trump or any president, what would you ask them? And this is my question.

Between Mitch McConnell and James Carville, who looks the most? If you had to pick, which of those two looks the most? like a turtle? Oh, well, Carvel looks like something, like a, like, what's the gecko? Is it a gecko with the big eyes and, you know, the tongue and everything? But I'm going to have to go with Mitch because Mitch, you know, he's got one of those, those big throaty things that kind of make him look very heavy. So Mitch, Turtle, Carvel, I got to go with him as the gecko.

And by the way, his family makes great ice cream, I have to say. The Carville, yeah, James Carvel. Well, James Carvel, he looks so much like a turtle that when I see him, I always think of Mitch McConnell. Oh, that's interesting. Because they both have those deep-set faces. They're both unattractive men. They're never going to get beyond looks, but they'll get both of them on looks, you know. And who's Carvel married again, Marley Matlin?

Marley Matlin? I believe so, technically. She's the deaf actress? Technically, technically that, yes, the deaf actress. Marley Matlin is married to James Carville. People write that down, write that down. That's right. Now, in Children of Lester God, married to James Carville.

Yes, wow, you've got a good memory. Yes, I really do. I've got a head for facts. I love God. No one loves God the way I love God. Believe me. Believe me. And that's why I'm so big on Christmas.

I love Christmas. You know, no one was really celebrating Christmas until I started celebrating Christmas. That's right. Now, everyone's celebrating Christmas. It's amazing. Helps the economy. Thank you for bringing it back, by the way, because we were all celebrating Kwanza.

It was winter and never Christmas. What's the Indian one? What's the Indian one? Dowali? Dowali? I'm not really sure. I want to get back to your detractors. Either Dovali or the hand tools are doalis. One of them. We're celebrating something. I don't know. I don't know. Oh, we're going to a break. Folks, I'm talking to President Donald Trump.

Welcome back, folks.

I cannot believe that I get to talk to President Trump. President Trump, I'm just honored that you would come on this program. And I'm doubly honored that you would be wearing an American-made Santa costume on this program. People foolish enough not to be watching the video of this. They're missing. They're missing so much. It's a sumptuous. I look fantastic.

It's really incredible. It's incredible. how you're flanked by Christmas trees. You're not ashamed of the Yuletide season. You're not ashamed of the American flag. Now, speaking of ashamed... I love baby Jesus. I love baby Jesus. He's done so much.

He was a hardworking guy. He was a carpenter. I don't know if he was in the union, but I think he was a fantastic. I heard he built incredible sheds. Incredible sheds. And did you know this? He's Jewish.

He's Jewish. I just, I learned this. That makes no sense. Everybody knows Jesus is a Christian. Come on. Really? But I just want to mention about the Jewish people, great people, fantastic people, hardworking people, so good with money, so good with money. And, you know, a lot of them think my name, Donald J. Trump, is Donald Jewish Trump.

It's not, folks. It's genius. It's genius. I just want to make that great clear. Now, by the way, your daughter is Jewish. All of your grandchildren are Jewish. So you're a very pro-Jewish president, and you're a very pro-Jewish Santa Claus. which is very, very interesting.

Now, I want to be clear, you said that Jesus was Jewish. My staff is checking on that. I don't know how that could be. But I want to be very clear, in case anybody's listening, we all know Mary. You don't like to get back. I don't like to be wrong. I want to be very clear that Mary is Italian. Everybody knows that, that the Virgin Mary is obviously Italian, and I don't want to screw

that up. But I just have to ask you, Ron DeSantis has been aggressively coming after you. And I guess to draw attention to himself recently, he did a debate with Gavin Newsom, or I don't know why he did it. I think Ron DeSantis is a great governor. I don't think it's his time. But the debate with Gavin Newsom was very confusing. Can you explain what that was about? Well, I don't know why either one of those guys did that.

Ron made himself look like a nitwit. You know, Ron DeNittwit. I have some other names for him. I can't say on your show. But I don't know why he did it. He could have easily skipped that, but he's so hungry to be on TV, on TV, all these people. All they want to do is be on television. It's so sad.

It's so sad. Ron doesn't know what he's doing. And did you know this, that Kimberly Guilfoyle used to be married to Gavin nauseation? Did you know that? But I guess what I don't understand is, you know, people are going to wonder, how did I reach out to you? And I want to be clear, folks, that I went to the Johnny DeVille. D-Show.com. Sometimes it's amazing.

Some presidents, they're men of the people. They make themselves available. And others, you know, they hide. But President Trump has made himself available at the Johnny D-show.com, which is a, it's a remarkable thing. But did you watch the debate between Gavin Newsom? My closest followers know about the Johnny D. Show.com. It goes right to me.

Right. It goes right to me. I know if you want, if you want a direct pipeline to the president, go to Johnny D. Show.com. But Ronda Santas has become increasingly aggressive in attacking you. He didn't use to do that.

Why do you suppose he's... I notice that. I'm very sad. Because you know he came to me, beg it. Beg it. I'm like, Ron, what are you doing? Oh, sir, sir, President Trump, sir. I need your endorsement, sir. And, you know, I hemmed it all. I didn't know because he's a little waffling.

But he is a jag. And I love that show. And I think it was Kristen Bell on that show the taunt with a great body. But I love the JAG show. I don't remember him in it, but he said, I'm a JAG, I'm a JAG. I'm a JAG. I'm okay, I'll accept you, whatever.

But he begged me for an endorsement. And that day, that day, he became governor. His numbers shot up so much. They didn't even do the election. And they just said, let's get right to it. And that's what I do. That's the power of my endorsement. And now, I have to tell you,

I'm rarely sorry. I've been sorry one or two times in my entire life. But I'm sorry. I endorsed Ron de backstabber, Ron de Sanctomodius, Ron de Meatball. It's, you know, it's, you know, it's, have you interviewed him? Have you interviewed him? I've never, I've never interviewed him, but I have to say, I don't believe that you're, that you're sorry, because if he weren't governor, we would have that other guy as governor.

So I know you did a good, you did the honorable thing in promoting Ron DeSantis. and I think it's lamentable that he's decided to come after you in such a brazen fashion. But let me ask you a question. I don't know if you want to answer this. But what do you suppose his appeal is? There's some people who don't like you and they stand strongly behind him. Why do you suppose that would be? Well, here's the one thing.

I think everyone actually likes me. I think even a lot of liberals and Marxists and communist and fascistic fischics, they like me. they pretend they don't like me. And that's why I won last time, because people actually do like me. People openly dislike desacemoneous. And they do. And they sincerely dislike him. But he has carried out a couple of things. I think he's done okay on a couple of things. But you're right about, you know, if I didn't give the endorsement, we'd probably have to probably be the largest Marxist country in the world right now, Florida. So thank God he saved us from the Marxist, the communists, and the social.

I mean, I think we have you to thank for that because you did enable him to become governor. Let me ask you, before we go, I don't believe Joe Biden will be running for president. I think there are too many things working against him and that ultimately the... I don't think he's going to make it. You don't think he's going to make it?

No, I don't think so either. Listen, he is so old. A lot of people don't know this. I know this because of, you know, I have all the intelligence. He is so old, they discontinued his blood type. They're not making his blood. anymore. See, that's very interesting. That's a scientific fact. Most of us were not aware of. My people at the White House have told me they're no longer buying green bananas. They're just

buying the yellow ones because who knows it could go at any time. Why waste the money? Why waste the money? Well, I guess the question is I think if he doesn't run, who will run? Do you think it will be Hillary Clinton or will it be Gavin Newsom or some people say it might be Michelle Obama? That's not going to be Michelle Obama. I think it's going to be Obama because he's actually running everything anyway. I've mentioned this a number of times in my speeches. Obama is running everything. He's pulling the strings with George Soros and probably George Santos, for that matter.

They're all pulling the strings. Biden doesn't know what time it is. He thinks it's 1923. I mean, you know, he's drinking sarsperilla. It's a shame. It's a shame. I want to see if I can talk to you for one more segment. Folks, stick around.

We'll be right back with President Donald Trump. I can't believe it. Folks, welcome back. It is my genuine honor to be speaking to President Donald Trump on this program. President Trump again, welcome back. Thank you for generously giving your time. There's so many people that wish that they were in my shoes. I get to ask you anything.

For example, I want to ask you a hard-hitting journalistic question, and if you don't want to answer it, you could plead the fifth. But I have to ask you. I've answered a question in the history of question, just so you know. Just because I'm not afraid, because I'm a hard-hitting journalist. What are your Christmas plans? And the well-dressed. The well-dressed, I'm about it.

Thank you. Thank you. What are your Christmas plans? And again, if you get uncomfortable, you start sweating, and you weren't prepared for that question. That's on me. but I have to, on behalf of my audience, I have to ask these questions. They're going to demand that I do that and that I, you know, hold your feet to the fire. So what are your Christmas plans, sir?

Well, Christmas Eve, we're going to have a lovely Christmas dinner. Hopefully Melania will be there. I'm really, I'm hoping, you know, because we're in the middle of a three-week hide-and-go-seek marathon, and she's really good. Let me tell you something. That woman is such a good hider. And Mar-a-law goes very, very big, very big with a lot of nooks and crannies and doors to the outside. We're sealing those. Somehow she got her ankle bracelet off, but I think she's going to be

there for Christmas because I always give her a fantastic gift. And this year, I'm giving her a painting of me, and I think she's working to be for her room. I think she's really going to like it. It's, it's me without a shirt, standing on top of a tank with a 50 caliber machine gun. And I think she's really going to enjoy it. I'm pretty sure that's a painting of Putin. But, you know, I think it's a beautiful job. We have American flags. We don't have Russian flags. We have American flags.

You should check. Okay. You should check on that. But so do you traditionally spend the holidays at Marlago or at Bedminster? Or do you just do you want to get away from it all? I do like Bedminster because it's a little chilly and it looks a little more wintry. But I have to tell you, I love, love, love Marlago. It's such an incredible place.

And if you want to join, Eric, I'm going to give you that. discount. I'm going to extend that to you during this interview. But no place looks more Christmassy than Mar-a-Lago at Christmas. It probably looks more Christmassy than Bethlehem. That's where Jesus was born, by the way. That's where he was born, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Well, that's what the media says anyway. So let me ask you at this, at Mar-a-Lago, you're going to be there. You obviously have security. Now, this is a serious question. But this is a serious question. But this is a serious question because I know you have grandkids that are going to be there. Is the security?

Who are Jewish? Is the security, not all of your grandchildren are Jewish. I know that. But some of them are. But the ones that are not, maybe they're all expecting presence. And I know the security is sometimes so high at Mar-a-Lago that if Santa were to come there, they might take him out. They might, one of the reindeer might go down.

Are you prepared for that kind of a contingency? We've worked on this. with Santa and his team. We have a very open channel. We know the exact time he's arriving. And believe me, for a big guy, he's in and out of Mar-Lago very fast. He has told me, though, he probably spends more time at Mar-Lago than any other home on the planet because there's so many wonderful, good, fantastic people who love Jesus and Christmas and Santa.

And we don't just leave him milk and cookies. We have a couple of bottles of Trump wine. We have some Trump steaks, which I've kept frozen for these last few years. We have great, great stuff. And we have Trump water for him to take, which you know, Eric, is the wetest water ever. It's the wetter water. No one's making wetter water. And by the way, the chemical composition is not H2O.

The chemical composition of Trump water is H2. Whoa. And that's true. You can look at it up, folks. It's an isotope. It's an isotope. I'm so sorry we're out of time. Folks, if you want to reach President Trump, as I have done today,

you can go to the Johnny D-Show.com. President Trump, it's my honor. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas and happy 2024, where I will win in a landslide again, Sleepy Joe. And in case you didn't hear, oh, by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas this year. Have a holy, jolly Christmas.

It's the best time.
