I’LL DO THE ANNOUNCEMENT. WE’LL SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW
MORNING.
MORNING. LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE
BABY.
BABY. I CAN’T WAIT.
SO AS YOU SAW AT THE TOP OF THE
SHOW, SARAH SANDERS CALLED FOR
CIVILITY.
CIVILITY. >> THAT’S GOOD.
CALLING FOR CIVILITY, MY GOD.
>> WILL HE CONTINUE THE STRAIN
OF CIVILITY.
OF CIVILITY. >> I’M SURE HE WOULD.
I’M CONFIDENT AS WE POINT TO THE
SCREEN, WE’RE GOING TO SEE HIM
TALKING ABOUT LOLLIPOPS AND
CUDDLY BEARS.
CUDDLY BEARS. >> AND CALLING THE PRESS -- THE
FREE PRESS ENEMIES OF THE
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. >> SO WE HEARD THAT.
BUT LET’S HEAR SOME OF HIS
GREATEST HITS.
GREATEST HITS. >> IF YOU SEE SOMEBODY GETTING
READY TO THROW A TOMATO, KNOCK
THE CRAP OUT OF THEM, WOULD YOU?
SERIOUSLY.
SERIOUSLY. OKAY?
OKAY? KNOCK THE HELL -- I PROMISE YOU
I WILL PAY FOR THE LEGAL FEES, I
PROMISE.
PROMISE. >> THE GUARDS ARE VERY GENTLE
WITH HIM.
WITH HIM. HE’S WALKING OUT, BIG HIGH
FIVES, SMILING, LAUGHING.
I’D LIKE TO PUNCH HIM IN THE
FACE, I’LL TELL YOU.
>> WHEN YOU GET HIM OUT, TRY NOT
TO HURT HIM.
IF YOU DO, AISLE DEFEND YOU IN
COURT, DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT.
>> HILLARY WANTS TO ABOLISH,
ESSENTIALLY ABOLISH THE SECOND
AMENDMENT.
AMENDMENT. BY THE WAY, IF SHE GETS TO PICK
HER JUDGES, NOTHING YOU CAN DO,
FOLKS.
FOLKS. ALTHOUGH THE SECOND AMENDMENT
PEOPLE, MAYBE THERE IS.
I DON’T KNOW.
>> YES.
>> YES. SO DONALD TRUMP’S SECOND
AMENDMENT SOLUTION TO A
PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON.
AND JON MEACHAM, YESTERDAY --
>> JON MEACHAM IS HERE.
>> -- OF THE WHITE HOUSE AND
OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF DONALD
TRUMP MELT LIKE PRECIOUS
SNOWFLAKES IN THE ARIZONA SUN.
>> IT’S TERRIBLE.
>> BECAUSE MAXINE WATERS SAID
SOME THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WERE
VERY REGRETTABLE AND SHE SHOULD.
HAVE SAID, BUT YOU CAN LOOK AT
THAT AND, OF COURSE, YOU CAN
SAY, WELL, WAIT, IS SHE REALLY
INCITING VIOLENCE BECAUSE THAT’S
WHAT A LOT OF PAEM ON TWITTER
WERE SAYING SHE WAS DOING.
LOOK AT THE WORDS AND TRY TO
FIGURE IT OUT.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID, BE
CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK IF, WAS
ACTUALLY AN INCITEMENT OF
VIOLENCE.
VIOLENCE. I DO WONDER HOW FRIENDS OF MINE
WILL MELT LIKE THE BIGGEST MOST
PRECIOUS SNOWFLAKE IN THE DESERT
SUN OVER SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE
MIGHT SAY AGAINST DONALD TRUMP
OR AGAINST SOME OF DONALD
TRUMP’S PEOPLE.
TRUMP’S PEOPLE. YOU HAVE DUMBONALD TRUMP OUT AND
OUT CALLS FOR VIOLENCE, IN THAT
CASE CALLING FOR THE SHOOTING OF
HILLARY CLINTON BY SECOND
AMENDMENT PEOPLE.
AMENDMENT PEOPLE. WHAT CAN WE DO.
MAYBE YOU SECOND AMENDMENT
PEOPLE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT
IT.
IT. AND YESTERDAY MAXINE IS -- THEY
-- I WROTE A COLUMN ABOUT THAT
WHEN IT HAPPENED.
I DIDN’T HEAR MY FRIENDS AND
RELATIVES WHO WERE SUCH DELICATE
PRECIOUS SNOWFLAKES SAYING
ANYTHING ABOUT INCITEMENT DURING
THE CAMPAIGN DO.
YOU THINK THOSE SNOWFLAKES HAD
EARMUFFS ON WHEN THAT WAS
HAPPENING?
HAPPENING? >> IT’S COLD OUT.
>> IT’S COLD OUT.
>> THE TRUMP WORLD HAS ELEVATED
THE ART OF BULLYING TO THE
CENTER OF THE POLITICAL CULTURE,
AND SO I DON’T SEE WHY -- I
DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY’RE
SURPRISE.
SURPRISE. THEY’RE PROBABLY NOT.
THEY’RE PROBABLY FAKING IT.
ONE OF THE REASONS THEY HAVE A
REALITY SHOW IS IT’S HARD TO GET
YOUR BEARINGS ON WHAT MATTERS
AND WHAT DOESN’T.
AND WHEN YOU -- A, WHEN YOU HAVE
TO CALL FOR CIVILITY, YOU’RE
PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GET IT.
CIVILITY IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS
THAT -- IT’S LIKE THE AIR YOU
BREATHE.
BREATHE. IT’S NOT LEARNED BEHAVIOR, I
DON’T THINK.
DON’T THINK. AND HE MANAGED TO INSULT
CONGRESSWOMAN WATERS IN SEVERAL
DIFFERENT WAYS.
DIFFERENT WAYS. >> BUT HE HAS REPEATEDLY CALLED
HER DUMB REPEATEDLY THROUGHOUT
THE YEARS.
THE YEARS. >> YOU KNOW, I JUST DON’T --
WHAT I DON’T QUITE GET STILL IS
THERE’S PROBABLY 10% TO 15% OF
THE PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY APPROVE
OF THE PRESIDENT’S JOB
PERFORMANCE WHO REALLY DON’T
LIKE ANY OF THIS, AND I JUST
KEEP THINKING OF HIM AS THE
401(k) TRUMPITES.
401(k) TRUMPITES. >>> ALSO UP FROM THE "WASHINGTON
POST" DAVID IGNACIUS AND FROM
POLITICO
POLITICO POLITICO.
POLITICO. >> SOUTH CAROLINA, A STATE I
KNOW VERY WELL, A STATE I LOVE,
ESPECIALLY THE GREENVILLE AREA,
I HAVE KNOWN PEOPLE UP THERE FOR
A VERY LONG TIME, THE UPSTATE
AREA.
AREA. IT’S AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY.
CARROLL CAMPBELL, HE TURNED THAT
STATE RED.
STATE RED. HE NOT ONLY BROUGHT REPUBLICANS
INTO SOUTH CAROLINA, HE BROUGHT
BMW AND IT REVOLUTIONIZED THAT
STATE.
STATE. EVERYTHING FOLLOWED.
EVERYTHING FOLLOWED. EVERYTHING YOU SEE WHEN YOU’RE
WALKING DOWN DOWNTOWN
GREENVILLE, WOULDN’T YOU AGREE,
JOHN, ONE OF THE GREAT SOUTHERN
CITIES.
CITIES. GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA, ONE
OF THE GREAT CITIES IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
CAROLINA. YOU HEAR GERMAN BEING SPOKEN ON
SATURDAY NIGHT.
SATURDAY NIGHT. NOT BECAUSE WE STOLE THEIR JOBS
BUT WE GOT THEIR JOBS IN
GREENVILLE, SCHLKT DONALD TRUMP
IS ONCE AGAIN TALKING ABOUT THE
GERMANS, THOSE TERRIBLE,
TERRIBLE GERMANS AND WHAT
THEY’RE DOING TO THE GOOD, GOOD
VICTIMS OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
WATCH THIS.
WATCH THIS. >> IT’S ALL WORKING OUT GREAT.
IT’S ALL WORKING OUT GREAT.
AND I SAID, LOOK, IF YOU WANT TO
DO THAT, WE’RE GOING PUT A
LITTLE TARIFFS ON YOUR CARS
COMING IN.
COMING IN. CARS ARE THE BIGGY.
CARS ARE THE BEINGY.
EUROPEAN UNION, WE LOST $151
BILLION LAST YEAR WITH THE
EUROPEAN UNION.
EUROPEAN UNION. SOUNDS NICE.
SOUNDS NICE. MANY OF US ORIGINALLY CAME FROM
SOMEWHERE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION.
I HAD TWO PARPTS, EUROPEAN
UNION.
UNION. SO IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL.
OUR COUNTRY LOST $151 BILLION.
THEY SEND THE MERCEDES, THEY
SEND BMWs, THEY SEND EVERYTHING.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SELL CARS
IN THERE LEAK THEY SELL CARS IN
HERE AND IT’S ALL GOING TO WORK
OUT.
OUT. >> I DON’T KNOW IF YOU NOTICE,
BUT THEY’RE LOOKING AT EACH
OTHER GOING DOES HE KNOW BMW
REVOLUTIONALIZED EVERYTHING UP
AND DOWN I-85, EVERYTHING IN
GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA.
JUST LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT FOR
YEARS, BOB REILLY, IT’S SO NICE
TO SEE SO MANY PROTESTS ABOUT
TUSCALOOSA GETTING ALL OF THEIR
MERCEDES.
MERCEDES. I THINK IN TUSCALOOSA, WE’RE
DOING TWO OR THROW CLASSES OF
MERCEDES NOW.
MERCEDES NOW. >> AND ATLANTA.
>> AND IN ATLANTA.
LIKE THE SOUTH, THE DEEP SOUTH,
YOU KNOW.
YOU KNOW. I JUST WONDER, IS DONALD TRUMP
LIKE ONE OF THOSE ROCK STARS
THAT’S ACTUALLY IN PORTLAND AND
HE SCREAMS AT THE END OF THE
CONCERT, "THANK YOU, CLEVELAND"
BECAUSE HE WAS IN THE HEART, HE
WAS IN THE HEART OF BMW COUNTRY
WHERE FREE AND OPEN TRADE
STARTED BY CARROLL CAMPBELL IN
SOUTH CAROLINA, REVOLUTIONIZED
THE STATE.
THE STATE. >> I WASN’T JUST IN BRUSSELS,
JOE, LAST WEEK, AND I HEARD AN
EARFUL FROM GERMANS AND ORES
TALKING IN PART ABOUT WHAT
YOU’RE DESCRIBING, THE LEVEL OF
GERMAN INVESTMENTS IN THE U.S.,
AUTOS IN PARTICULAR THAT’S MADE
THEM THE SIGNIFICANT EXPORT
CENTER OF GERMAN CARS MADE IN
THE UNITED STATES BY AMERICAN
WORKERS TO OTHER MARKETS AND
TALKING ABOUT THE NET TRADE
EFFECTS THAT COULD COME AS TRUMP
IMPOSES THESE TARIFFS.
MORE BROADLY, I THINK WHAT
EUROPEANS FINALLY ARE RECKONING
WITH, THE FIRST YEAR DONALD
TRUMP, THEY WERE KIND OF IN
DENIAL, THEY LIKED MAT DOES,
THEY WANTED CONTINUITY.
THEY’RE RECKONING WITH THE
REALITY THAT THIS IS REAL, THAT
THE DISRUPTIVE DONALD TRUMP
PRESIDENCY REALLY HAS DISRUPTED
THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
UNITED STATES, AND NOW THEY’RE
LOOKING FOR THE WAYS IN WHICH
THEY CAN DEFEND THEIR OWN
INTERESTS, THEIR TRADE AND
COMMERCIAL INTERESTS, BUT
EVENING THEIR NOW SECURITY
INTERESTS WITHOUT A RELIABLE
UNITED STATES AS A PARTNER.
SO I HEARD PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT
EUROPEANS DEVELOPING MORE
INDEPENDENT DEFENSE.
INDEPENDENT DEFENSE. ONE VERY PROVE ACCIDENT EUROPEAN
SAID WE NEED A POLICY TO SPEAK
SOFTLY AND BEGIN TO BUILD A BIG
STICK OF OUR OWN SO THEY CAN
DOWN THE ROAD DEFEND THEMSELVES.
PEOPLE BEGAN TO TALK ABOUT
WHETHER THEY CAN RELY ON THE
U.S. NUCLEAR DETERRENT.
THAT’S THE SCARIEST THING OF
ALL.
ALL. IF EUROPEANS DECIDE WE’RE JUST
NOT CREDIBLE AS THEIR DEFENDER,
THEN WE’VE TOT DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT.
ABOUT IT. I THINK YOUR POINTS ABOUT THE
CARS IS EXACTLY RIGHT.
WE MISSED PART OF HOW
GLOBALIZATION REALLY WORKS.
THEY INVEST IN FACTORIES IN
AMERICA, THEY PRODUCE THEIR CARS
WITH AMERICAN WORKS, SELL THEM
AROUND THE WORLD.
WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THAT.
AND I GOT AN EARFUL LAST WEEK IN
BRUSSELS SAYING WE DON’T LIKE
WHERE THIS IS GOING.
>> MIKE, BMW, AGAIN, I KNOW,
BECAUSE I’VE BEEN TO SOUTH
CAROLINA A LOT, I’VE GOT A LOT
OF FRIENDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA,
AND I ALWAYS WOULD DRIVE RIGHT
THROUGH GREENVILLE COMING UP
FROM ATLANTA, GOING UP TO
WASHINGTON OR POINTS NORTH, AND
I’VE SEEN IT.
I SAW IT THROUGH THE ’70s AND
THE ’80s, AND THE ’90s.
I SAW IT GROW.
IT’S HARD TO RECOGNIZE THE
GREENVILLE OF 1985 AND TODAY,
AGAIN, BECAUSE OF CARROLL
CAMPBELL AND THE FACT THAT BMW
-- AGAIN, DONALD TRUMP WOULDN’T
KNOW THIS BECAUSE HE JUST
DOESN’T READ OR PAY ATTENTION,
BUT BMW HAS BEEN THE PRIDE OF
SOUTH CAROLINA FOR A VERY LONG
TIME.
TIME. >> GERMAN AUTO MANUFACTURING HAS
CHANGED MUCH OF THE SOUTH.
YOU’VE GOT BMB OBVIOUSLY IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.
SOUTH CAROLINA. >> MERCEDES IN TUSCALOOSA
COUNTY.
COUNTY. >> AND TOYOTA IN KENTUCKY OR
PARTS OF KENTUCKY.
IT HAS LITERALLY TRANSFORMED
MUCH OF THE SOUTH AS WELL AS,
THE BOTTOM LINE, EMPLOYED
THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS.
>> BY THE WAY, MIKE, IT’S BEEN
GOOD FOR AMERICA, AND ALSO
THERE’S A REASON WHY BMW STARTED
WITH ONE LINE OF SUVs AND KEPT
EXPANDING AND EXPANDING IN SOUTH
CAROLINA, BECAUSE THE WORKERS
WERE GREAT THERE.
AND THERE’S A REASON WHY IN
TUSCALOOSA COUNTY THEY STARTED
WITH ONE CLASS OF MERCEDES AND
THEY KEPT EXPANDING IT OUT.
THEY SAID IT WAS THE MOST
PROFITABLE PLANT IN THE WORLD.
THAT’S AN ALABAMA GOVERNOR
BRAGGING TO ME.
HE SAID IT WAS THE MOST
PROFITABLE PLANT IN THE WORLD IN
TUSCALOOSA COUNTY.
TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. GUESS WHAT?
GUESS WHAT? WE’RE GETTING MORE JOBS AND MORE
JOBS.
JOBS. IT’S BEEN GREAT FOR TUSCALOOSA
COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA,
TENNESSEE, VOLKSWAGEN.
TENNESSEE, VOLKSWAGEN. IS VOLKSWAGEN TENNESSEE?
>> CHATTANOOGA, YEAH.
>> IT’S BEEN GREAT.
THOSE JOBS ARE HERE TODAY
BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE CARROLL
CAMPBELL IN SOUTH CAROLINA HAD A
VISION, AND I’VE GOT TO ASK THE
QUESTION.
QUESTION. SO MANY PEOPLE IN THAT AUDIENCE
CHEERING FOR TRUMP, INCLUDING
THE GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA
WHO WAS THE HEAD OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY WHEN CARROLL
CAMPBELL WAS GOVERNOR OF SOUTH
CAROLINA.
CAROLINA. THAT I KNOW BETTER.
>> DO THEY?
>> THEY KNOW BETTER.
>> DO YOU THINK THE CROWD KNOWS
BETTER?
BETTER? I DON’T.
I DON’T. >> THEY KNOW.
NO, THOSE GUYS -- THEY CAN SHOW
IT AGAIN.
IT AGAIN. THE GUYS IN THE BACK ARE GOING,
WAIT A SECOND, WAIT A SECOND.
WE’RE AGAINST GERMANY?
BECAUSE GERMANY HAS BEEN
FLOODING BILLIONS AND BILLIONS
AND BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS INTO THE SOUTH CAROLINA
ECONOMY OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS.
>> I MEAN I WAS STRUCK BY THE
NUMBER THAT HE THREW OUT, THAT
THE EUROPEAN UNION IS COSTING
US.
US. I DOUBT THAT NUMBER.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
HE JUST MAKES UP NUMBERS AS WE
KNOW.
KNOW. IT’S JUST LIKE HE TRIED TO GET
THE DEPARTMENT OF HHS, ORDER
THEM TO DO A STUDY TO SEE HOW
