AS THE WORLD PAUSES TO HONOR THE QUEEN OF SOUL WHO DIED TODAY AT
76.
76. WE START WITH OUR NBC NEWS
EXCLUSIVE.
EXCLUSIVE. A NEW SECRETLY RECORDED TAPE
FROM INSIDE THE WORLD OF DONALD
TRUMP AND AN INTERVIEW WITH A
FORMER WHITE HOUSE AIDE WHO MADE
THAT TAPE, OMAROSA MANIGAULT
NEWMAN.
NEWMAN. THE NEW TAPE INVOLVES A
CONVERSATION WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AND
CAMPAIGN ADVISER, LARA TRUMP,
ONE THAT’S DETAILED IN HER NEW
MEMOIR, IT’S CALLED "UNHINGED."
JUST DAYS AFTER SHE WAS FIRED
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, A FEW
NOTES, FIRST OF ALL, ON WHAT YOU
WILL SOON HERE.
OMAROSA GAVE NBC NEWS FOUR AUDIO
CLIPS.
CLIPS. WE’RE GOING TO PLAY THEM BACK TO
YOU.
YOU. OUR PRODUCER HAS HEARD THE FULL
VERSION OF THAT TAPE.
WE CAN TELL YOU THAT THESE CLIPS
ARE IN PROPER CONTEXT.
ALSO, DURING THE AUDIO YOU’RE
ABOUT TO HEAR, LARA TRUMP
MENTIONS A "NEW YORK TIMES"
ARTICLE.
ARTICLE. NBC NEWS BELIEVES IT IS THIS
ARTICLE, PUBLISHED ONE DAY
BEFORE THIS CONVERSATION TOOK
PLACE.
PLACE. THE HEADLINE, ONLY ROSA, LEAVING
THE WHITE HOUSE, SUGGESTS THE
SHOW WILL GO ON, IN WHICH SHE
SUGGESTS SHE HAS A STORY TO
TELL.
TELL. LET’S GET RIGHT TO OUR GUEST.
FORMER WHITE HOUSE AIDE TO
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, ALSO,
PERHAPS YOU’VE HEARD, AUTHOR OF
A NEW BOOK.
BEFORE WE GET TO THE AUDIO, I
WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE TIMING
OF THE RELEASE OF THESE TAPES.
WHY TODAY?
WHY TODAY? >> I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT, AS
PEOPLE QUESTION THE CREDIBILITY
OF EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE IN
"HUNDRED"
"HUNDRED" "UNHINGED," THAT’S WHAT THE
RIGHT IS SAYING.
NONE OF THESE STORIES ARE TRUE.
SHE DOESN’T HAVE CREDIBILITY.
AND I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT NOT
ONLY TO POINT TO THESE THINGS,
BUT TO ALSO BLOW THE WHISTLE ON
THE CORRUPTION OF THE THINGS
THAT ARE GOING ON IN THIS
FAMILY, IN THIS ADMINISTRATION
AND IN THIS CAMPAIGN.
>> LET’S PLAY THE AUDIO.
TO BE CLEAR TO OUR VIEWERS, TO
BE CLEAR TO OUR LISTENERS AS
WELL, YOU’VE PROVIDED FOUR
CLIPS.
CLIPS. YOU SELECTED THESE CLIPS FROM A
CONVERSATION YOU HAD WITH LARA
TRUMP.
TRUMP. ALL OF THESE CHARACTERIZED
TOWARDS THE END OF YOUR BOOK.
TAKE A LISTEN.
>> LISTEN, OBVIOUSLY, WITH,
LIKE, "THE NEW YORK TIMES"
ARTICLE AND STUFF, YOU KNOW,
IT’S, IT’S --
>> WHAT’S THE NEW YORK TIME
ARTICLE?
ARTICLE? >> THE ONE THAT -- THE ONE
THAT -- IT WAS IN "THE NEW YORK
TIMES."
TIMES." THEY WROTE ABOUT YOU.
IT SOUNDS A LITTLE LIKE,
OBVIOUSLY, THAT THERE ARE SOME
THINGS YOU’VE GOT IN THE BACK
POCKET TO PULL OUT.
CLEARLY, IF YOU COME ON BOARD
THE CAMPAIGN, LIKE, WE CAN’T
HAVE -- WE GOT TO --
>> OH, GOD, NO --
>> -- EVERYBODY POSITIVE, RIGHT?
SO THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE
TO CONSIDER, WHERE WE’RE TALKING
SALARY, AS FAR AS THE CAMPAIGN
IS CONCERNED IS THAT, AS YOU
KNOW, EVERYTHING IS PUBLIC.
UM, AND THAT ALL THE MONEY THAT
WE RAISE AND THAT PAYS SALARIES
IS DIRECTLY FROM DONORS.
SMALL DONOR DOLLARS FOR THE MOST
PART.
PART. SO I KNOW YOU WERE MAKING 179 AT
THE WHITE HOUSE.
AND I THINK WE CAN WORK
SOMETHING OUT WHERE WE KEEP YOU
RIGHT ALONG THOSE LINES.
UM, SPECIFICALLY, LET ME SEE, I
HAVEN’T EVEN ADDED UP THE
NUMBERS.
NUMBERS. BUT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, LIKE,
15K A MONTH.
UM, LET ME SEE WHAT THAT ADDS UP
TO.
TO. TIMES 12.
TIMES 12. YES, THAT’S $180,000.
DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A FAIR DEAL
FOR YOU?
FOR YOU? IN TERMS OF YOUR POSITION,
SPECIFICALLY, I REALLY FEEL LIKE
YOUR POSITION WOULD REQUIRE, YOU
KNOW, YOU TO BE ABLE TO BE
FLEXIBLE IN TERMS OF WHERE YOU
ARE.
ARE. SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, COME TO
NEW YORK FOR OCCASIONAL
MEETINGS.
MEETINGS. BUT I WOULD LOVE, IF YOU COULD,
YOU KNOW, OCCASIONALLY GO DO
SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS AND THAT
SORT OF THING FOR US.
I THINK YOU’D BE AWESOME DOING
THAT.
THAT. SO IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
WHERE YOU ARE.
IF YOU’RE COMFORTABLE STAYING IN
D.C., THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE,
WE’RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE
YOU --
YOU -- >> WE SHOULD POINT OUT HERE, NO
RESPONSE SO FAR FROM LARA TRUMP
OR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
WE HAVE REACHED OUT FOR A
COMMENT.
COMMENT. WE’LL TALK ABOUT THE CONTENT OF
THE TAPE IN JUST A MOMENT.
BUT FIRST OF ALL, WHY GIVE US
THOSE FOUR?
THOSE FOUR? >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I PLAYED
THE FULL ENTIRE CONVERSATION FOR
YOUR PRODUCERS BECAUSE THAT WAS
IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO VERIFY,
BUT I REALLY WANTED TO SHOW
EVERYTHING IN THIS BOOK,
EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN QUOTATIONS
CAN BE VERIFIED, HAS BEEN
CORROBORATED AND IS DOCUMENTED.
AND THESE CLIPS ARE SPECIFICALLY
THE OUTLINE OF THE SCENE.
>> CAN YOU CHARACTERIZE WHAT WAS
LEFT OUT OF THE TAPE WE PLAYED
VERSUS THE TAPE OUR PRODUCER
LISTENED TO?
LISTENED TO? >> THERE WAS A LOT OF BACK AND
FORTH.
FORTH. I HAD A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH
THIS FAMILY.
THIS FAMILY. SHE REITERATED DONALD TRUMP
LOVED ME, THIS FAMILY LOVED ME,
THAT THEY WANTED THE BEST FOR
ME.
ME. THEY WANTED ME TO COME IN.
SHE MADE IT VERY CLEAR IF I
JOINED THIS CAMPAIGN, THAT I
WOULD HAVE TO BE QUIET.
I WOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO TALK TO
REPORTERS.
REPORTERS. I WOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO SAY
ANYTHING AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.
AS SHE STATED FROM HER -- IN HER
OWN WORDS, HAD TO KEEP IT
POSITIVE.
POSITIVE. YOU CAN’T BE TALKING ABOUT THESE
THINGS.
THINGS. WHAT IS THIS THING YOU HAVE IN
YOUR BACK POCKET?
I SAW THIS AS AN ATTEMPT TO BUY
MY SILENCE.
MY SILENCE. SO CENSOR ME.
AND TO PAY ME OFF $15,000 PER
MONTH BY THE CAMPAIGN.
>> YOU SAW THIS AS HUSH MONEY?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> WHY DO YOU THINK LARA TRUMP
MADE THIS OFFER TO YOU?
IF THEY JUST FIRED YOU, WHY
OFFER YOU $15,000 A MONTH TO
COME ON IN THIS AMBIGUOUS ROLE?
>> THAT LEADS TO A LOT OF
QUESTIONS.
QUESTIONS. THE PRESS HAS SAID HE’S HAPPY I
WAS FIRED, I’M A DOG, ALL THESE
THINGS.
THINGS. THEN YOU FIND OUT BEHIND THE
SCENES THEY’RE SAYING HOW
AWESOME I AM AND GREAT I AM AND
I SHOULD COME ON THE CAMPAIGN.
SO REALLY WHAT IS IT, WHICH ONE
OF IT IS IT?
IS IT THAT THEY SUPPORTED ME OR
THEY WANT ME OUT?
HE SAID I WAS HAPPY I WAS FIRED.
AT FIRST HE SAID HE DIDN’T KNOW
I WAS FIRED.
THEN HE TWEETS HE WAS HAPPY I
WAS DISMISSED.
WAS DISMISSED. THIS FAMILY CAN’T KEEP THEIR
STORY STRAIGHT.
STORY STRAIGHT. THEY CAN’T DECIDE WHETHER THEY
LOVE OR HATE PEOPLE.
THEY ACTUALLY MISREPRESENT THAT
THEY’RE BEING HONEST TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AMERICAN PEOPLE. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF
THE TYPE OF CORRUPTION THAT’S
GOING ON IN TRUMP WORLD AND I AM
HERE TO BLOW THE WHISTLE.
>> WHAT KIND OF OTHER
CORRUPTION?
CORRUPTION? >> THERE ARE THINGS I WRITE
ABOUT AND THERE ARE THINGS I’M
GOING TO SAVE TO SHARE WHEN THE
TIME IS RIGHT.
>> DID SHE EVER GIVE YOU A
REASON, LARA TRUMP, DURING A
SUBSEQUENT CONVERSATION, DID SHE
GIVE YOU A REASON ABOUT THE
FIRING?
FIRING? OR WHY THEY WANTED YOU BACK NOW?
>> EVERYONE IN THE TRUMP FAMILY
CLAIMED TO NOT KNOW ABOUT MY
FIRING.
FIRING. FROM DONALD TRUMP TO IVANKA TO
JARED TO LARA.
NO ONE KNEW.
SO THEY CLAIM.
I’M JUST NOT BUYING THAT.
>> WHY DO YOU BELIEVE IT WAS
LARA TRUMP THAT PICKED UP THE
PHONE AND MADE THE CALL?
WHY HER?
WHY HER? WHY A FAMILY MEMBER?
WHY NOT A STAFFER OR SOMEONE
ELSE TO OFFER YOU THIS $15,000 A
MONTH?
MONTH? >> SHE WAS VERY SPECIFIC THAT,
AS WE CALL HIM, DJT, IT WAS
DONALD TRUMP THAT WANTED HIM TO
MAKE THIS OFFER TO ME.
>> IT CAME FROM THE PRESIDENT?
>> THAT’S ACCORDING TO LARA
TRUMP, YES.
TRUMP, YES. >> AND YOU WOULD BE DOING WHAT
PRECISELY IN THIS NEW ROLE?
>> SHE WAS VERY CAVALIER ABOUT
IT.
IT. SHE’S, LIKE, MAYBE YOU COULD DO
SOME INTERVIEWS.
SOME INTERVIEWS. OR MAYBE YOU COULD DO SOME
SPEECHES.
SPEECHES. YOU KNOW, YOU’RE VERY ARTICULATE
ARTICULATE.
ARTICULATE. >> SHE USED THAT WORD, SHE SAID
YOU’RE ARTICULATE?
YOU’RE ARTICULATE? >> SHE SAID YOU’RE ARTICULATE.
>> DID YOU FIND THAT OFFENSIVE?
>> MOST PEOPLE WOULDN’T REALIZE
THAT IS AN INSULT TO
AFRICAN-AMERICANS TO CALL US
ARTICULATE, AS IF WE HAVEN’T
MASTERED THE LANGUAGE OF THE
LAND.
LAND. I COULD BASICALLY DECIDE WHAT I
WANTED TO DO AND HOW I WANTED TO
DO IT.
DO IT. AS I STATED IN THE RECORDING IT
DIDN’T EVEN MATTER WHERE I
WORKED, HOW OFTEN I WORKED, WHAT
I DID, AS LONG AS I SIGNED ON
THE DOTTED LINE AND ACCEPTED
THIS $15,000 A MONTH.
IT DIDN’T MATTER TO HER WHAT I
DID, WHAT MY TITLE WAS OR WHAT
MY ROLE OR RESPONSIBILITY WOULD
BE IN THE CAMPAIGN.
>> WE KNOW THAT YOU’VE TALKED TO
THE SPECIAL COUNSEL’S OFFICE.
HAVE YOU BEEN CONTACTED SINCE
YOU STARTED RELEASING THESE
TAPES BY THE SPECIAL COUNSEL’S
OFFICE AGAIN?
OFFICE AGAIN? >> NOW, YOU KNOW I CAN’T COMMENT
ON THAT.
ON THAT. >> YOU COULD.
>> NOR CAN I COMMENT ON THE
ARBITRATION OR THE FACT THAT
DONALD TRUMP HAS SICKED HIS
ENTIRE FORCE OF HIS LEGAL TEAM
NOT ONLY ON ME BUT SENDING
THREATENING LETTERS TO THE
PUBLISHER.
PUBLISHER. HE IS COMPLETELY UNHINGED.
PARDON THE PUN, BUT WHAT YOU’RE
SEEING IS THE UNRAVELING OF THE
45th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
STATES. >> WHY DO YOU THINK HE’S COMING
AFTER YOU SO AGGRESSIVELY?
>> WELL, BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE
COULD DISMISS ME.
YOU KNOW, HE THOUGHT THAT I
COULD BE DISPOSED OF.
BUT DONALD TRUMP IS WRONG.
HE SHOULD NOT ONLY VALUE THE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SO LOYAL TO
HIM, BUT HE SPECIFICALLY
REMEMBERS THE PEOPLE WHO GOT HIM
WHERE HE IS.
>> I WANT TO PLAY SOMETHING YOU
SAID ON OUR AIR THAT CAUGHT MY
ATTENTION.
ATTENTION. YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THOSE
HACKED E-MAILS.
HACKED E-MAILS. THOSE DNC E-MAILS.
HERE’S WHAT YOU SAID.
>> YOU WERE INSTRUCTED ACCORDING
TO YOUR BOOK TO BRING UP THE
E-MAILS AT EVERY POINT YOU COULD
AT THE END OF THE 2016
CAMPAIGN --
CAMPAIGN -- >> THAT’S CORRECT.
>> HILLARY CLINTON E-MAIL.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> DID DONALD TRUMP KNOW ABOUT
THOSE E-MAILS BEFORE THEY CAME
OUT?
OUT? >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> HE KNEW ABOUT THEM?
>> YES.
>> YES. >> HE KNEW WHAT WAS COMING OUT
BEFORE WICK YESKILEAKS RELEASED
>> YES.
>> YES. >> ARE YOU SPECULATING?
THAT, BY AND LARGE, THAT’S THE
MOST EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATION THAT
YOU’VE MADE.
YOU’VE MADE. AND IT’S NOT EVEN IN THE BOOK.
>> YES, THERE’S SOME THINGS THAT
ARE INVOLVED IN THIS
INVESTIGATION, THE MUELLER
INVESTIGATION, THAT I WAS VERY
CAREFUL NOT TO PUT IN THE BOOK.
>> YOU DO HAVE PROOF?
>> I CAN’T EVEN TALK ABOUT THE
THINGS THAT I TALKED WITH THEM.
I CAN’T TALK ABOUT THE THINGS
I’VE SUBMITTED TO THEM.
BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I
FULLY CONTINUE TO COOPERATE WITH
THIS INVESTIGATION.
THIS INVESTIGATION. >> AND YOU STAND BY WHAT YOU
SAID ON OUR AIR A FEW DAYS AGO?
>> I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO VERIFY
EVERY SINGLE THING THAT I PUT IN
THE BOOK.
THE BOOK. I’VE VERIFIED EVERYTHING I’VE
STATED.
STATED. AND EVERY SINGLE TIME THE TRUMP
PEOPLE CHALLENGE ME, I BRING THE
RECEIPTS.
RECEIPTS. >> AT FOX NEWS SAID EARLIER THIS
WEEK YOU HAVE, QUOTE, OUTSMARTED
THE PRESIDENT.
THE PRESIDENT. DO YOU AGREE?
>> HEY, IT’S THE ART OF THE
DEAL.
DEAL. >> WHAT’S THE END GAME HERE?
I MEAN, BECAUSE OUR
UNDERSTANDING IS YOU HAVE MORE
OF THESE RECORDINGS.
ARE YOU PLANNING TO RELEASE ALL
OF THE RECORDINGS OR ARE YOU
PLANNING ON RELEASING SOME OF
THE RECORDINGS?
THE RECORDINGS? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DECIDE
WHICH RECORDINGS TO RELEASE AND
WHEN TO RELEASE THEM?
>> WELL, I’M NOW FACED WITH THIS
LEGAL ACTION FROM THE PRESIDENT,
AN ATTEMPT TO SILENCE ME.
YOU’D HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION,
WHAT IS HE AFRAID OF?
WHY IS HE BEING SO AGGRESSIVE TO
SHUT ME DOWN?
AND WHY IS HE TRYING TO STOP THE
PUBLISHING OF THE BOOK?
WHAT DOES DONALD TRUMP HAVE TO
HIDE?
HIDE? ONE OF THE EARLIER RECORDINGS I
SHARED WITH YOU, YOU KNOW,
GENERAL KELLY SAID THE STAFF AND
EVERYONE THAT WORKS THERE
ANSWERS TO HIM.
SO IS IT JOHN KELLY THAT’S
RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE OR
DONALD TRUMP?
DONALD TRUMP? IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE ARE
PEOPLE PULLING THE STRINGS
BEHIND THE SCENES WITH DONALD
TRUMP.
TRUMP. WE HAVE TO QUESTION WHAT’S
REALLY GOING ON OVER THERE.
>> SHORTLY BEFORE WE CAME ON THE
AIR THERE WAS A REPORT BY AN NBC
CONTRIBUTOR WHO INDICATED
ACCORDING TO HIS SOURCES THE
PRESIDENT IS FUMING IN PRIVATE.
HE HAS ASKED HIS ATTORNEY
GENERAL TO ARREST YOU.
NOT CLEAR AT THIS POINT ON WHAT
CHARGES.
CHARGES. BUT HE’S ASKED THAT YOU BE
ARRESTED.
ARRESTED. THERE’S AN EXCERPT FROM THE
ARTICLE THERE.
ARTICLE THERE. ARE YOU CONCERNED AT ALL ABOUT
BEING ARRESTED?
BEING ARRESTED? >> WELL, WHAT MR. NIXON -- I
MEAN MR. TRUMP DOES WILL BE
BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
EVERY ACTION THAT HE TAKES
AGAINST ME JEOPARDIZES HIM AND
HIS PRESIDENCY.
HIS PRESIDENCY. SO I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD WATCH
HIS BEHAVIOR AND HOW HE’S
UNRAVELING.
UNRAVELING. AND I DON’T HAVE ANY FEAR.
I HAVE A WHOLE COMMUNITY OF
FAITH THAT’S BEHIND ME, PRAYING
FOR ME.
FOR ME. AND NO MATTER WHO IS IN THE OVAL
OFFICE, DONALD TRUMP NEEDS TO
REMEMBER THAT GOD IS STILL ON
THE THRONE.
THE THRONE. >> YOU WROTE SOMETHING IN THE
BOOK.
BOOK. I KNOW YOU GOT TO GO.
I WANT TO READ THIS EXCERPT.
THIS IS THE PART ABOUT THE CHIEF
USHER THERE, ANGELA REID AND
THIS CAUGHT MY ATTENTION FOR A
VARIETY OF REASONS.
ON MAY 5th.
THE HEAD USHER OF THE WHITE
HOUSE, ANGELA REID, THE FIRST
WOMAN AND SECOND
AFRICAN-AMERICAN TO HOLD THAT
POSITION WAS FIRED.
ALTHOUGH REID WAS A CARRYOVER
FROM OBAMA, HAVING HELD THE JOB
SINCE 2011, IT WAS NOT
CONSIDERED A POLITICAL POSITION
AND IT WAS UNUSUAL FOR AN
INCOMING PRESIDENT TO FIRE AN
USHER.
USHER. I WAS UPSET BECAUSE IT MEANT ONE
LESS BLACK WOMAN IN THE BUILDING
LESS THAN TRUMP FIRED SINGLETON.
BECAUSE OF AN ARTICLE HE’D
WRITTEN FOR THE HILL THAT WAS
CRITICAL OF TRUMP.
I MADE A POINT OF ASKING
EVERYONE ON THE SENIOR STAFF
ABOUT REID’S FIRING.
QUOTE, WE CAN’T KEEP GETTING RID
OF BLACK PEOPLE FOR FLIMSY
REASONS, I TOLD A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. AS COMS DIRECTOR FOR OPL, OFFICE
OF PUBLIC LIAISON, I NEED TO
EXPLAIN WHY THIS WOMAN WAS LET
GO.
GO. THE OFFICIAL LINE, WE DON’T
DISCUSS PERSONNEL MATTERS.
THE UNOFFICIAL LINE THAT SHE
WASN’T VERY WELL LIKED AND
ALLEGEDLY TRUMP DIDN’T APPROVE
OF HER HANDLING OF HIS TANNING
BED.
BED. I’D HEARD HE WAS UNHAPPY WITH
HER EFFORTS TO PROCURE THE BED,
TO BRING IT INTO THE EAST WING
SECURELY, TO FIND A DISCRETE
PLACE FOR IT AND TO SET IT UP
PROPERLY.
PROPERLY. ALSO APPARENTLY REID JUST HATED
HIM AND DIDN’T HIDE HER FEELINGS
ABOUT IT.
ABOUT IT. ARE YOU ALLEGING THAT THE
PRESIDENT FIRED THIS WOMAN
BECAUSE SHE COULDN’T SECRETLY
GET THE TANNING BED INTO THE
WHITE HOUSE?
WHITE HOUSE? AND THAT SHE DIDN’T LIKE THE
PRESIDENT?
PRESIDENT? IS THAT THE ALLEGATION?
>> THAT’S ACTUALLY WHAT I
OUTLINED IN THE BOOK.
THIS IS A PART OF THE PALACE
INTRIGUE THAT I MADE SURE THAT
PEOPLE WERE AWARE OF.
HEY, LET’S JUST ALL SAY THAT
DONALD TRUMP’S COMPLEX IS
NATURAL.
NATURAL. LET’S JUST ALL AGREE ON THAT.
OR LET’S JUST IMAGINE THAT HE
LAYS OUT ON THE BALCONY IN THE
WHITE HOUSE.
WHITE HOUSE. WHATEVER THE CASE IS.
HE FIRED THIS WOMAN WITHOUT A
REAL REASON.
REAL REASON. AND IT’S JUST A PATTERN OF HOW
THIS WHITE HOUSE BEHAVES.
>> THE RNC IS AWARE OF YOUR
PUBLIC APPEARANCES PROMOTING THE
BOOK.
BOOK. ANY HAVE -- I THINK THEY DROPPED
THIS VIDEO MAYBE 20 MINUTES AGO.
WE WANT TO PLAY A SNIPPET.
I WANT TO GET YOUR REACTION TO
THIS VIDEO.
THIS VIDEO. >> DONALD TRUMP DECLARED HE WAS
GOING TO RUN.
YOU ALL KNOW HIM AS THE
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. I KNOW HIM AS A FRIEND.
I KNOW HIS HEART.
DONALD TRUMP IS A TRAIL BLAZER
OF WOMEN’S ISSUES.
NOT ONLY I SUPPORT HIM AS A
HUMAN BEING WHO HAS INCREDIBLE
CHARACTER AND A GREAT VISION,
BUT HIS POLICIES AFFECT MY
COMMUNITY WHERE I LIVE IN LOS
ANGELES AND THAT’S REALLY WHY I
STAND BY HIM.
AND I BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL SEE
THAT THIS PRESIDENT IS GOING TO
BE INCREDIBLE FOR THIS COUNTRY
AND I AM EXCITED ABOUT WHAT’S
HAPPENING WITH THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
ADMINISTRATION. I’M VERY HONORED TO BE A PART OF
IT.
IT. HE WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR
AMERICA.
AMERICA. WHEN I SAY TRUMP TRAIN, I WANT
YOU TO SAY CHOO-CHOO.
YA’LL READY.
YA’LL READY. TRUMP TRAIN.
TRUMP TRAIN. >> CHEW CHEW.
>> TRUMP TRAIN.
>> CHOO CHOO.
>> TRUMP, TRUMP.
>> WE SHOULD NOTE, YOU’RE
STANDING NEXT TO LARA TRUMP IN
THAT VIDEO.
THAT VIDEO. HOW DO YOU SQUARE THAT WITH
THIS?
THIS? HOW HARD IS IT FOR YOU TO SIT
THERE AND WATCH THAT OMAROSA?
>> FIRST OF ALL, I COMPLETELY
UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD PUT
THIS COMPILATION TOGETHER.
BECAUSE I’M ONE OF THE FEW
AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN HIS ORBIT.
YES, THEY PUT THEIR GREATEST
HITS TOGETHER AND THAT WOULD
COMPILE ABOUT .0% OF THE
DIVERSITY THEY HAVE AT THE RNC.
THEY KEEP RERUNNING THAT VIDEO
BECAUSE THAT WAS THE BEST THING
THAT HAPPENED TO THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
ADMINISTRATION. I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
I’M NOT GOING TO BE BULLIED.
I’M NOT INTIMIDATED.
AND I’M GOING TO GO TOE-TO-TOE
WITH HIM.
WITH HIM. EVERYTHING HE THROWS AT ME.
BELIEVE ME, MY TAPES ARE MUCH
BETTER THAN THEIRS.
>> YOU’RE GOING TO RELEASE MORE
TAPES?
TAPES? >> IF I NEED TO.
I’LL DO WHAT I NEED TO DO TO
PROTECT MYSELF.
PROTECT MYSELF. >> HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHETHER
YOU NEED TO?
>> WE’LL SEE.
HE’S TRYING TO INTIMIDATE MY
PUBLISHER, TRYING TO INTIMIDATE
ME.
