BEHIND THIS MUSLIM BAN. >> YEAH, ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS

THE CONSTITUTION GIVES OUR PRESIDENT LOTS OF POWER.
AND STEVE BANNON IS THE KEY ADVISER.
[ LAUGHTER ] OKAY?

THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NOW. THANK YOU.
I'LL ACCEPT ONE LAST QUESTION. YEAH I'LL TAKE THIS LOSER.
>> I'VE GOT A QUESTION ABOUT THE STATEMENT THE WHITE HOUSE
RELEASED ON HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY.
DO YOU THINK IT WAS ANTI-SEMITIC TO NOT EVEN MENTION THE JEWISH
PEOPLE IN THIS STATEMENT? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[ LAUGHTER ] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> THIS IS SOAPY WATER AND I'M WASHING THAT FILTHY LYING MOUTH
OUT! [ LAUGHTER ]
[ APPLAUSE ] FIRST OF ALL, HOW COULD THE
STATEMENT, A STATEMENT BE ANTI-SEMITIC?
THE GUY WHO WROTE IT WAS SUPER JEWY.
[ LAUGHTER ] OKAY?
AND THE FACT IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE SUFFERED IN THE
HOLOCAUST, IT WASN'T JUST THE JEWS.
IT WAS ALSO THE GYPSIES, THE LESBIES, AND THESE OTHER GUYS.
THAT'S YOUR WORDS. YOUR WORDS!
THAT'S ENOUGH FOR TODAY. SPICY'S GOT TO GO BYE-BYE RIGHT
