The Harry Sisson Show - Trump LETS IT SLIP As Interview QUICKLY BACKFIRES

Episode Date: January 9, 2026

Harry Sisson breaks down Trump's recent disastrous interview with the New York Times as his term continues to collapse.

All right, folks, check this out. Yesterday, the New York Times did an incredibly long interview with Donald Trump, where they asked him a bunch of questions about relevant events, global, domestic, whatever it might be. And let me tell you, it is a roller coaster. This guy, I firmly believe, is not living in reality. He is completely detached from the average American, and is very obviously surrounded by people who are just yes men. They just say, oh, Donald, you're great, we love you,

which is not exactly a bombshell revelation. This is not surprising. but this interview really hammered at home. So I'm going to go over just some of the things that really caught my eye, the most outrageous answers from Donald Trump. Before we do any of that, make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment, let me know what you think about this story. And I want to start with a quick, shorter part of the interview that I just had to talk about.

So Donald Trump said he should probably be taking the quote-unquote fat drug. So he's referencing Wagovi, all these different things. you know, injections that help you lose weight and things like that, he is now admitting that he should be taking it. This is after he claimed that he's like 6-2-240 pounds, which is the equivalent of DK Maccaf, a wide receiver for the Steelers in the NFL, who's huge. He claimed that he was as muscular as him. So Trump admitted he should probably be taking the drug.

Trump got quizzed about his use of GLP1 drugs such as Wig, OZempic, in a two-hour sit-down with the New York Times, asked whether he had ever used the popular drugs for diabetes and weight loss, Trump replied, no, I have not, I probably should. So perhaps some self-awareness. Trump clocked in at 6.3 and 224 pounds in his last physical. If Donald Trump is 6.3, 224 pounds, well, then I'm Josh Allen. I'm starting for the Buffalo Bills on Saturday in the NFL playoffs. You can see me out in the field.

If that's true, then I'm going to go play some quarterback. But now, let's get into the more concerning parts of the interview. That is just a funny part. Then it gets a little real. So Trump, according to the New York Times, lays out a vision of power. restrained only by my own morality. That's the only thing that restrains Donald Trump, not the law, not international law, none of that, his own morality, which I'm not putting a lot of faith in. So Trump declared on Wednesday evening that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by,

quote, his own morality, brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use the military might to strike, invade, or coerce nations around the world, asked in a wide-ranging interview with the New York Times, if there were any limits on his global powers, Trump said, yeah, there is one thing, my own morality, my own mind, it's the only thing that can stop me. Well, look, you know, if Donald Trump's mind is the only thing that can stop him from breaking the law, then I look at that as like a Ferrari driving at 100 miles per hour into a wall of pillows. The mind of Donald Trump is not a good one. This is a felon, a woman assaulter, a fraudster. so his bar of morality is incredibly, incredibly low, right?

So that doesn't mean anything positive to me. That's actually far more concerning than anything else he could have said. The right answer there is, well, yeah, there are constraints. The law, right, international law, what the American people want. And of course, your morality, right? Normal people don't want to go bomb and kill innocent people. I don't know about Donald Trump, though. He said, I don't need international law.

I'm not looking to hurt people, except, you know, he bombs countries almost every day. went press further about whether his administration needed to abide by international law. Trump said, I do, but he made clear he would be the arbiter when such constraints applied to the United States. Great. So I guess the standard is that you get to choose when the law applies to you. You know, I'm going to go into a store and I see a product I really want. I don't think theft really applies to me right now. I'm just going to take it because I'm going to be the arbiter.

What is he talking about? If we live in a world where presidents, dictators, prime ministers, whatever it is, are the arbiters of international law, then, God, we are screwed. That stops, you know, Putin has all the guardrails gone. Xi has all the guardrails gone. Iran, any country you want to pick, all the guardrails you'd hope are gone. He said, it depends on what your definition of international law is, even worse. Trump's assessment of his own freedom to use any instrument of military, economic, or political power to cement American supremacy was the most blunt acknowledgement yet of his worldview. I would actually agree. He did acknowledge some constraints,

at home, even as he has pursued a maximalist strategy of punishing institutions he dislikes, exacting retribution against political opponents, and of course, deploying the National Guard to Blue Cities. He made clear that he uses his reputation for unpredictability and a willingness to resort quickly to military action often in service of coercing other nations. Yeah, I mean, wow. Okay. So the guy is apparently using his unpredictability to his advantage, except he's actually quite

predictable. I don't know why he thinks we can't predict him. Donald Trump has been in politics for 10 years now. It's not like we can't pretty easily figure out what he's doing. But anyway, he also in this interview, insisted that all of this means he gets to take Greenland. His insistence that Greenland must become part of the United States was a prime example of this worldview. It was not enough to exercise the U.S. right under a 1951 treaty to reopen long, closed military bases on the landmass. He actually wants to own it.

He said ownership is very important. When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said, because that's what I feel is psychologically needed for success. I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can't do with. You're talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can't get from just signing a document. We're not talking about a house. Right? We're not talking about buying a home as opposed to renting.

We're talking about taking over a country that Donald Trump is now threatening militarily. I don't know if he knows that. I don't know if he's fully tapped into the severity of these issues, the implications of like invading Greenland or Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, whatever country he feels like picking on one day. I don't think he understands. And in the context of what we're talking about, it just really gave me like a shiver that this guy controls the U.S. military. He also was pressed about his conclusion on the ice shooting in Minneapolis. And he kind of, it seemed like he acknowledged that maybe he was wrong. but anyway, but not really. Of course, he would never do that. Just hours after an immigration and

customs enforcement agent shot, the 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis, Trump told a group of New York Times reporters that the woman was at fault because she tried to run him over. He said, I want to see nobody get shot. I want to see nobody screaming and trying to run over policemen either. When we pressed Trump on his conclusion that the victim tried to run over the agent, he asked an aide to pull up the video on a laptop in an effort to prove his point. That was a vicious situation that took place. So just a bunch of adjectives. He also said she behaved horribly, and then she ran him over. She didn't try to run him over. She ran him over. And if you've seen the clip, nobody was run over, not even close. We told the president that early videos circulating

online were unclear, so then he got an aide to bring over the laptop. He said, I'll play the tape for you right now. Trump's aide Natalie Harp brought over this laptop and press the video. Before the video began, Trump said, with all of it being said, no, I don't like that's happening. I don't like that that's happened. I guess he misspoke. Before pivoting to his common refrain of criticizing undocumented immigrants, as a slow-motion surveillance video of the shooting played on the laptop, we told him that this angle did not appear to show an ICE officer had been run over.

And then he said, well, the way I look at it, it's a terrible scene. I think it's horrible to watch. No, I hate to see it. So no justification for why he thinks the victim is at fault. And then when actually confronted with the video by himself, I mean, he pulled for the video, he asked the agent to pull up the video on the laptop. So he did it himself. He didn't really have any answer according to the New York Times.

And finally, the New York Times asked Donald Trump about his repeated false claim that D.C. hasn't had a single murder in months. The Times says Trump responded by saying, well, I haven't seen that. Isn't it funny how all of these Republicans, when they get called out for their lies? They just say, oh, I haven't seen it. So I don't know. Like, of course, and by the way, you're the President of United States. You live in Washington, D.C.

you're not looking at the crime numbers, a district of which you've been laser focused on stopping crime with the National Guard, you're not looking at those numbers? Bullshit, he has seen it, he knows it's a lie, and when he's actually confronted with these things, and he can't just speak at a rally or speak in front of a podium,

he crumbles, and the lie falls apart right before us. It's why he loses every presidential debate ever. So look, I will leave the video there. I just really had to show you this interview that is concerning for a number of different reasons, very layered, But I will leave it there. Thank you so much for watching.
