& FRIENDS, GAME DAY COVERAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR FRIENDS AT
PROGRESSIVE, OUR OTHER FRIEND
SHAWN HANNITY JONES US LIVE.
YOU JUST TALKED TO THE FRIENDS
IN THE UNITED STATES.
THE INTERVIEW THAT IS GOING TO
BE WATCHED BY 100 MILLION PEOPLE
, JUST BECAUSE OF THE
SUPER BOWL.
SUPER BOWL. >> SO OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW WELL,
BUT IT’S DIFFERENT EVERY SINGLE
TIME YOU SEE IT, IT’S A
DIFFERENT NEWS CYCLE NEW
CHALLENGE THE FIRST TIME SINCE
THE WITNESSES WERE REJECTED AND
THE EXONERATIONS ON THE HORIZON.
>> ITS ALL BEEN FINISHED AND I
BRING THAT UP, OBVIOUSLY.
IT’S HARD, BECAUSE IT’S ONLY 8.5
MINUTES THAT’S WHAT YOU GET ,
NOT A LOT OF TIME AND LET’S JUST
SAY THERE’S A LITTLE SURPRISE
THAT I TRIED TO GET AS MUCH IN
8.5 MINUTES OUT AS I POSSIBLY
CAN AND I’LL JUST SAY IT’S
ENTERTAINING.
ENTERTAINING. STEVE: WELL GIVE US A HINT.
>> A HINT?
STEVE: A LITTLE HINT.
>> I’LL GIVE YOU A HINT.
IT WAS A LIGHTNING ROUND.
AINSLEY: YOU ASKED A BUNCH OF
THINGS AND HE RESPONDED?
STEVE: FIRST THING THAT POPS
INTO YOUR HEAD?
>> KIND OF.
AINSLEY: I THINK THAT WE HAVE A
CLIP FROM YOUR INTERVIEW WITH
HIM.
HIM. BEN: IT WAS ON BLOOMBERG.
>> MICHAEL BLOOMBERG.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: VERY LITTLE.
I JUST THINK OF LITTLE.
NOW HE WANTS A BOX FOR THE
DEBATES TO STAND ON.
OKAY, IT’S OKAY, THERE’S NOTHING
WRONG.
WRONG. YOU COULD BE SHORT, WHY SHOULD
HE GET A BOX TO STAND ON OKAY?
HE WANTS A BOX FOR THE DEBATES.
WHY SHOULD HE BE ENTITLED TO
THAT?
THAT? DOES THAT MEAN EVERYONE ELSE
GETS A BOX?
IT’S INTERESTING.
IT’S INTERESTING. COREY BOOKER AND ALL THESE
PEOPLE COULDN’T GET ANY OF THE
THINGS BLACK BERG IS GETTING
NOW.
NOW. I THINK IT’S VERY UNFAIR FOR THE
DEMOCRATS BUT I WOULD
LOVE TO RUN AGAINST BLOOMBERG.
I WOULD LOVE IT.
STEVE: HE WOULD LOVE TO RUN
AGAINST BLOOMBERG, WHO ARE YOU
SUGGESTING THAT BLOOMBERG WANTS
A BOX TO STAND ON AT THE DEBATE?
>> APPARENTLY THAT’S WHAT HE
WAS TALKING ABOUT.
STEVE: THE BOX OF REBILLION.
AINSLEY: WHY HE’S NOT SHORT IS
HE?
HE? >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. HE’S BIGGER THAN BRIAN.
AINSLEY: [LAUGHTER]
AINSLEY: [LAUGHTER] >> I’M ALMOST AS TALL AS YOU.
AINSLEY: DOES BLOOMBERG EVEN
HAVE A SHOT DO YOU THINK?
HE’S TRYING TO DO SOMETHING.
TWO THINGS, HE WANTS TO BLOODY
UP THE PRESIDENT A LITTLE BIT BY
USING MONEY AS A CANDIDATE,
UNLIMITED FUNDS YOU CAN USE,
SOMEONE SUGGESTED HE EVEN SPENT
$1 BILLION.
$1 BILLION. HE’S GOT A SUPER BOWL THAT’S
APPARENTLY ANTI-GUN.
APPARENTLY ANTI-GUN. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT IN SWING
STATES, AND AMERICANS ARE VERY
PRO-SECOND AMENDMENT AND HE SAID
SOMETHING ELSE IN THERE TOO
WHICH I THINK WILL GET SOME
ATTENTION.
ATTENTION. STRATEGY ANOTHER TEASER.
BEN: COULD WE SIZE UP THE FIELD?
I THINK THERE’S PANIC ON THE
LEFT THAT BERNIE IS SURGING
AND THEY CAN’T STOP IT.
>> I WISH I COULD TELL YOU THE
ANSWER THE PRESIDENT GAVE
BECAUSE LOOK ONE OF THE THINGS I
TALKED ABOUT AND I THOUGHT
PEOPLE MISSED IS THAT BERNIE GOT
ROBBED IN THE LAST ELECTION.
THEY TOTALLY STACKED THE DECK
AGAINST HIM.
AGAINST HIM. STEVE: THE TOP DEMOCRATS DID IT.
>> THE TOP DEMOCRATS.
IT WAS ALL RIGGED AND WHY HE
TOOK THAT.
TOOK THAT. REMEMBER DONNA BRAZILE TOLD A
GREAT STORY ABOUT HOW SHE HAD TO
MAKE THAT PHONE CALL AND SHE WAS
CRYING AND HAD TO TELL HIM YEAH,
IT’S ALL TRUE THAT THIS WAS
STACKED AGAINST YOU, SO IS IT
HAPPENING AGAIN THIS TIME?
PROBABLY.
PROBABLY. I THINK SO.
I THINK THEY ARE AFRAID OF HIM
BUT WHAT BLOOMBERG IS TRYING TO
DO, INTERESTINGLY, IS HE THINKS
I’M NOT GOING TO COMPETE IN IOWA
, SOUTH CAROLINA, NEW
HAMPSHIRE, I’M WAITING FOR SUPER
TUESDAY AND HE’S THINKING
THERE’S NOT ANYBODY BY THAT
POINT AND HE THINKS HE WILL BE
THE ALTERNATIVE.
THE ALTERNATIVE. STEVE: SO ULTIMATELY WHAT IT
COMES DOWN TO IS IF YOU’RE A
CANDIDATE YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO
WIN ON THE FIRST BALLOT.
NOW IF BERNIE WINS, MONDAY NIGHT
IN IOWA, IF HE WINS IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE, AND THEN THEY’VE GOT
SUPER TUESDAY AND THAT’S WHERE
--
-- >> HE IS SURGING, STEVE.
STEVE: I KNOW AND THEN THERE’S
NEVADA AND SOUTH CAROLINA AND
THEN SUPER TUESDAY.
>> WHEN YOU WATCH TONIGHT YOU
WILL LOVE THE PRESIDENT’S
DESCRIPTION OF BERNIE.
STEVE: WE CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE
IT BUT ULTIMATELY BECAUSE
BERNIE IS GOING TO GRAB A BUNCH
OF DELEGATES EARLY ON AND THEN
JOE BIDEN WILL START STACKING
THEM UP.
THEM UP. WE COULD GO INTO THE CONVENTION
WITH A BROKERED CONVENTION
NOBODY GETS IT THE FIRST TIME.
BERNIE COULD GET RIPPED OFF
AGAIN.
AGAIN. >> BINGO, AND SOME, I THINK,
SUGGEST MAYBE HILLARY WILL GET
IT.
IT. I DON’T BELIEVE THAT.
WHAT’S INTERESTING IN IOWA, THEY
WILL COME OUT WITH, THEY WILL
SPLIT THE DELEGATES.
STEVE: ANYBODY UNDER 15.
>> RIGHT THEN TAKE THAT TO NEW
HAMPSHIRE, BERNIE IS SURGING IN
NEW HAMPSHIRE, HOW DOES THAT
IMPACT SOUTH CAROLINA, I DON’T
KNOW AND NEVADA AND THEN HEAD
INTO SUPER TUESDAY.
BEN: SEE I THINK THE REASON THAT
THEY CHANGED THE RULES ON ON THE
DEBATE TO ALLOW BLOOMBERG IN
SAYING DONORS NO LONGER MATTER
BUT THEY WOULDN’T DO IT FOR THE
OTHERS BECAUSE JOE BIDEN
IS FAILING MISERABLY.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING HE
DID YESTERDAY.
DID YESTERDAY. THE MORE YOU WATCH THE MORE
CONCERNED YOU HAVE TO BE.
LISTEN TO THESE MOMENTS OF HIM.
AINSLEY: HAD YOU SEEN THEM?
BEN: HE’S ON STAGE AND HE GOES
JOE, 30330.
JOE, 30330. IT MEANT NOTHING.
>> [LAUGHTER]
>> [LAUGHTER] >> IT WAS GREAT.
AINSLEY: WATCH THIS ONE.
STEVE: LISTEN TO THESE, WATCH.
>> I’VE BEEN DOING THIS , I
HATE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT, BUT HOW
ARE YOU DOING, MAN?
GREAT TO SEE YOU.
JUST ONE OF THE LEADERS IN
MASSACHUSETTS LED TO THIS AS A
REALLY REALLY REALLY FINE MAN.
ANYWAY.
ANYWAY. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> [APPLAUSE] >> SO THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
SPEAKING OF LOYALTY, SPEAKING OF
LOYALTY, GOD LOVE YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. BUT AT ANY RATE, THE FACT IS
THAT I FORGOT WHAT THE HELL I
WAS GOING TO SAY.
>> HE DOESN’T KNOW THE GUYS
NAME.
NAME. HE STANDS THEM UP AND TURNS FROM
THE CAMERA AND FORGETS WHERE HE
IS.
IS. >> HE KIND OF PUSHES THE GUY.
THE SECOND TIME.
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE THE FIRST
TIME.
TIME. AINSLEY: HE SAID THAT BE A GOOD
BUMPER STICKER OR SLOGAN.
>> [LAUGHTER]
>> [LAUGHTER] STEVE: JUST ONE FINAL QUESTION.
>> AND THEN YOU’RE THROWING ME
OUT?
OUT? AINSLEY: NO YOU’RE STAYING THE
REST OF THE HOUR.
>> JUDGE NAPOLITANO IS NOT HERE
EVERY MORNING I SEE HIM.
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] STEVE: THE PRESIDENT HAS BOUGHT
I THINK TWO COMMERCIALS.
ONE HAS BEEN RELEASED AND THE
SECOND ONE SOME SUGGESTED
MIGHT BE A FUNNY COMMERCIAL.
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE
SECOND COMMERCIAL?
SECOND COMMERCIAL? >> I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.
STEVE: IS IT GOING TO BE FUNNY?
>> NO COMMENT.
STEVE: OH, REALLY?
DO YOU LIKE PETE HEGSETH?
>> LOVE PETE.
>> I RAN INTO PETE LAST NIGHT.
HE IS A ROCK STAR AND WHAT HE
DID TO FIGHT FOR THE INFLUENCE
AND THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT PUT
A LOT OF INNOCENT LIVES IN JAIL,
I GIVE HIM A LOT OF CREDIT.
