President Trump invited lawmakers back
to his Apprentice set to discuss
what can be done to stop gun violence.
Now, if people came in expecting Trump
to side with Republicans, they were in for a big shock,
because Trump is unpredictable.
Just when you think he's gonna zig,
he punches you in the nuts.
President Trump shocked lawmakers
in a bipartisan meeting on Wednesday,
calling out the NRA,
calling for comprehensive gun control measures
backed by Democrats.
Lawmakers are confused
after President Trump seemed to buck his own party.
Some of you people are petrified of the NRA.
You can't be petrified.
Yeah. Donald Trump attacked his own party
for being scared of the NRA.
I did not see that coming.
Like, that was the craziest twist
since the end of Usual Suspects, you know?
Yeah, like when we found out
that Kevin Spacey molested Keyser Söze.
That was just mind blowing.
And, and, uh, and if you thought Trump was going rogue
when he attacked Republicans and the NRA,
wait until you see him supporting the Democrats.
Mr. President, what do we do about weapons of war
easily accessible on our streets?
You go into a store, and you can buy an AR-15.
-You can. -You can buy a TEC-9.
I mean, you can buy all these weapons.
Joe and Pat, you're gonna have to discuss that.
You'll sit down with Dianne and everybody else,
and you'll come up with something,
and I think it... I-I really believe
it has to be very strong.
Did you see that?
(cheering and applause)
Did you see the joy on Dianne Feinstein's face
when Trump tells the conservatives
to put her shit in the bill?
Like, she looks happier than Ted Cruz on Halloween.
He's like, "Finally, my doorbell rang.
Yeah!"
All the Democrats...
all the Democrats in this meeting were giddy.
Like, look at Amy Klobuchar when Trump shut down
the Republicans' concealed carry idea.
Like, all of a sudden she's Jim from The Office.
Like, "Are you guys seeing this?"
(laughter)
And this was... this was pretty much
how the whole discussion went.
Trump supported all of the Democrats'
gun control positions, right?
Universal background checks,
raising the minimum age to buy rifles,
banning all domestic abusers from purchasing guns--
Trump pushed all of their ideas.
And it was so disorienting
seeing a completely different side of Donald Trump.
Right, it's like finding out your grandma works part-time
as a dominatrix, you know?
Yeah, it's like, "That's right.
They call me the queen of nipple play!"
And just like a dominatrix,
President Trump truly pushed the limits,
because at one point Mike Pence tries to step in
and say, "Calm down, people.
"There will be due process
before anyone's guns are taken away."
And Trump was like, "Or..."
But the focus is to literally give families
and give local law enforcement additional tools
if an individual is reported to be a potential danger
to themselves or others
and allow due process so no one's rights are trampled.
Or, Mike, take the firearms first
and then go to court, because that's another system.
Because a lot of times by the time you go to court,
it takes so long to go to court,
to get the due process procedures.
I like taking the guns early.
You know, the police saw that he was a problem.
They didn't take any guns away.
Now, that could have been policing.
I think they should have taken them away anyway,
whether they had the right or not.
Okay, uh...
my mind is going to explode.
Donald Trump just said, "(bleep) your rights.
I'm taking your guns."
Isn't that what he said Hillary was gonna do? Yeah?
Donald Trump flipped so much in this meeting,
I was waiting for him to be like,
"The reason I sound like Hillary
"is because it's actually me!
It was me all along!"
(cheering and applause)
"Yeah!
"It was just a wig and Fruit Roll-Ups.
"I can't believe you fell for it.
Lock me up!"
(laughter)
Now, look, this is an extreme position by Trump.
It's even more extreme
than the Democrats were asking for.
And I guess yesterday some people on the left
got a glimpse of why Trump's people love him so much.
He wants to take action,
and he's not gonna let anything stop him.
And people on the right got a glimpse
of why people are terrified of Trump on the left.
He wants to take action,
and he's not gonna let anything stop him.
And, like, we shouldn't really be surprised
that Trump is flipping on guns
because, in his heart,
he's never really been a gun nut.
My sons have been members of the NRA
for many, many years,
and they're incredible.
They have so many rifles and so many guns
sometimes even I get a little bit concerned.
I said, "That's a lot."
You see? You see that?
That was... that was the truth slipping out.
You see that? Yeah. Although, I mean, to be fair,
I-I also wouldn't want my kids having guns
if one of them was Eric. I mean...
Yeah, no, no, no, forget guns.
That guy should go through a background check
before every smile. Come on, now.
But-but before you get too excited,
before you get too excited for your new gun-grabber in chief,
just remember what happened with DACA not too long ago.
Trump was at that same table
agreeing with Democrats on immigration,
and then, two days later,
Africans were from shithole countries
and the whole thing fell apart. Yeah.
So, basically, I wouldn't be shocked if, next week,
when Trump is talking about protecting schools,
all of a sudden, he's like, "Look, why do we care
"about these douchebag kids anyway?
"We need more kids from Norway, folks.
"More kids from... I didn't say 'douchebag'--
I said 'douche house.'"
But, at the end of the day, I-I think this-this whole meeting
just proved how simple the gun issue really is at its core.
'Cause every other issue-- health care, taxes, you know--
Trump-Trump has no idea what's going on.
But with school shootings, he's like,
"Guys, I think I figured it out.
"It might be the guns.
"Guns make the bang-bang!
-"Guns make the bang-bang! -(cheering and applause)
I got it!"
