I, uh, I just wanted to give you an update
on the nationwide heart attack that occurred in America
this morning after a poll came out showing Donald Trump
two points ahead of Hillary Clinton.
Yes, so, now everyone is in stable condition, uh,
but (bleep) of the pants still continues.
A-and there is one area where Trump hasn't been improving
at all, and that's been with black voters.
You know, only two month ago, he got zero percent support
from African-Americans in Ohio and Pennsylvania, zero percent.
Zero, yeah.
-(cheers and applause) -Zero percent.
Are you applauding? You guys are mean.
(laughs)
You guys are applauding zero percent.
You realize there are more black people excited
for the new Kevin James sitcom.
Zero percent is where Trump is.
So, basically, Donald Trump's people told him he needed
to reach out to the black community and that means
he's basically got three choices.
He either goes to barbershops,
uh, Tyler Perry movies or black churches.
But he's not gonna go to Tyler Perry movies
because, I mean, Madea's a two.
Uh... he's not gonna go to a barbershop
because they'd hook him up.
-You know, and, uh... -(laughter)
His only remaining option is church.
On Saturday, Trump visited
a black church in Detroit.
REPORTER:
at an African-American church in Detroit,
reaching out for new support.
No, no!
No!
You know what, I'm sorry,
I've got to call out the media on this one.
Donald Trump was not swaying to the music.
He was swaying and there happened to be music playing
-at the same time. -(cheers and applause)
The two happened completely independently of each other.
That... was not happening with the music.
(laughing): That was not with the music.
Now-now, the speech that Trump delivered at this church
was from the heart.
It was from his heart.
And... and you could feel that it was from the heart
because Donald Trump told us.
Well, I just, uh, wrote this the other day,
knowing I'd be here, and, uh, I mean it from the heart.
And I'd like to just read it, and I think you'll understand it
maybe better than I do in certain ways.
(laughter)
Uh... okay, wait, I'm sorry, wait, what?
So, wait, you-you wrote a speech from your heart
that you don't understand?
But somehow black people will?
What? Did you write a rap song?
Is that what happened?
What-what does that even mean?
Like... and for someone who-who claims they wrote the speech,
he seems genuinely surprised at the information
contained in his speech.
Becoming the nominee of the party of Abraham Lincoln--
a lot of people don't realize that Abraham Lincoln,
the great Abraham Lincoln, was a Republican--
has been the greatest honor of my life.
Why do I feel like when-when Trump says,
"A lot of people don't realize," he means, "I don't realize."
"Abraham Lincoln, he freed the-- a lot of people don't realize,
a lot of people don't realize this."
Then he tries to play it off like the audience didn't know.
"Oh, and here's another...
"Wow, did you guys know
"you were slaves? Huh?
"Did you guys know... oh, and for how long?
Oh, boy, wow."
And Trump, actually, he got a warm reception
from this congregation.
You know, they even gave him a-a prayer cloth.
-They put on him there. -AUDIENCE: Aw.
Yeah, that's-that's nice.
You can see he's confused, though.
He's like, "Oh, you... you guys,
"you guys put it on the shoulders?
"My other friends put the white sheet over their head.
"But, I mean, to each their own, folks.
"We all do it differently, folks.
Different ways."
(applause)
One reason Trump gave the speech in Detroit is, uh,
i-is that it's where his number one black fan is,
or his number one black hype man is, Ben Carson.
Yes.
And, uh, Carson's response
to the speech was truly priceless.
I think maybe there are things that we can learn as a society,
because in order for our country to be great again, uh,
every aspect has to be great, including our inner cities.
And-and we just saw Mr. Trump here.
I asked him, "How did it go?”
And he said great and he said he learned a lot of things.
-Oh! -What do you think he took away from today?
-My-my luggage. -(chuckles)
-Uh... Hold on. -Okay.
Looks like Dr. Carson is going to try to find his luggage.
(laughter)
(applause)
I love Ben Carson so much!
I love him so much!
And I also trust him less and less as a surgeon every day.
I know he's good! I know he's good.
But I'm sorry, guys, "My luggage"?
In the middle of a live interview?
"My luggage"?
Is that the number one thing on his mind?
And the way he's thrown by it.
Is this something that happens in Ben Carson's life?
You know?
Just like him at the hospital, "Uh, Mr. Shapiro,
"there's no easy way to say this, but the operation--
My luggage!"
Who is this man?
For more on Trump's Detroit speech
we turn now to our senior campaign correspondent,
Roy Wood Jr., everybody, Roy Wood Jr.
(cheers and applause)
Thank you for being here, Roy.
-Uh... -Hmm.
-It's been an interesting time, Roy. -Yeah.
What do you think about Trump's visit to the black church?
Trevor, I feel bad for every member of that congregation.
Think about it.
You go to church every Sunday praying to God to keep Trump
out of your life, only to show up one morning
and see him in the pulpit.
Trump is turning good church folk into atheists.
I can tell you, people were not happy about this, man.
But Roy, but Roy, there were people at the church.
Stop acting like Trump packed out the cathedral.
He was at a normal-sized church and it was half empty.
Do you know how hard it is to
(laughter)
Black people stop at church on their way to church.
It's important to us.
Church is important.
That's why the the service is so long.
I went to church Sunday morning, and I just got out.
We have a lot to pray for, and, man, it takes time.
White church is an hour,
'cause all they got to do is give thanks.
Mostly, thank God I'm not black.
Oh, I know, that's hymn 52, I think.
-I've heard it, it's beautiful. -Oh, that's beautiful.
Beautiful song, beautiful song, yeah.
Look, man, black people have a long list of grievances.
I go to church with a briefcase.
You think Flint, Michigan is going to be saved
with a couple Hail Marys?
No, no, no, no, no.
We need to put on a show.
We're not just at church,
we're not just there for the new prayers.
Half our time in church is checking in
on old prayers that we're still waiting on.
I got a prayer from '97 I'm waiting to still come through.
Man, I'm this close to getting tickets to see Sisqó.
-I'll get them. -(applause)
You know about Dru Hill.
What do you know about Dru Hill?
Dru Hill. I know about Dru Hill.
How deep is your love for me.
Oh, yeah.
-Tell me what it's gonna be. -Oh, yeah.
Roy, um, okay.
Let's... let's be honest, though.
You should at least give credit to Trump
for trying to appeal to black voters.
Hmm, no.
That's not why he's there.
Trump is just trying to convince white voters
that he's not racist so that they feel better
for voting for him.
(cheers and applause)
That's all he's doing.
Now these white people get to go to the polls,
"Oh, well, how can the man hate black people?
He went to Steve Harvey's church." Check.
Trump's trying to win that "white people
with black friends" vote so that they don't feel guilty
around the water cooler at work.
"Uh, uh, hey, JaMarcus, uh, did you hear that new Drake album?"
"Bitch, you voted for Trump!"
Well, I... Look, I hear you. You know what, I hear you, Roy.
Donald Trump can't be president.
Exactly, Trevor. We got to do everything we can to stop him.
Yeah. So I'm assuming you'll be out there every day
till the election, knocking on doors in Ohio,
you know, getting out the vote, making those calls.
My luggage!
-♪ ♪ -(cheering, applause)
Oh, well.
Thank you, Roy.
Well, you know...
I think, in Donald Trump...
and this whole scenario, we learned something very impor...
