>> Stephen: THIS WEEKEND, TRUMP ALSO WENT
AFTER MSNBC HOST AND ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S DISAPPOINTED
FATHER, DONNY DEUTSCH, TWEETING "LITTLE DONNY DEUTSCH, WHOSE
SHOW, LIKE HIS PREVIOUS SHOEBIZ TRIES, IS A DISASTER --"
SHOEBIZ?
REALLY?
I'VE HEARD IT'S HARD TO BREAK INTO... "SHOEBIZ."
( LAUGHTER ) (AS OLD TIMEY PRODUCER)
"I'M SORRY, KID.
I KNOW YOU WANNA BE A STAR, BUT THAT'S A CROC.
YOU HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE.
IN HEEL.
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME WINGTIPS: STOP LOAFERING AROUND AND FIND A
NEW BALANCE.
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH DOC MARTEN.
UGH!" ( LAUGHTER )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
SOMETIMES YOU'VE JUST GOT TO TAKE A VICTORY LAP, JON.
>> Jon: RIGHT.
>> Stephen: TRUMP IS UPSET AT DEUTSCH
BECAUSE DONNY "HAS BEEN SAYING THAT I HAD BEEN A FRIEND OF
HIS.
THIS IS FALSE."
I AGREE.
IT'S JUST NOT BELIEVABLE THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS FRIENDS.
( LAUGHTER ) APPARENTLY, TRUMP WAS RESPONDING
TO DEUTSCH SAYING THIS ON SATURDAY NIGHT:
>> SPEAKING OF THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION AND BANKRUPTCY AND
I'VE KNOWN TRUMP WELL FOR YEARS AND I BELIEVE IT'S A CRIMINAL
ENTERPRISE.
>> STEPHEN: OKAY, THAT'S NOT VERY NICE.
( LAUGHTER ) VERY ACCURATE.
BUT NOT NICE.
( LAUGHTER ) HERE'S THE THING, THOUGH:
DEUTSCH'S AUDIENCE ON MSNBC AVERAGES LESS THAN 900,000
VIEWERS A NIGHT, WHILE TRUMP'S TWITTER FEED CURRENTLY HAS OVER
60 MILLION FOLLOWERS.
TRUMP IS JUST BOOSTING THE SIGNAL OF
DONNY'S CRITICISM.
IT'S LIKE A ROCKSTAR GETTING ON STAGE AND SAYING, (AS ROCKER)
"HELLO, CLEVELAND!
BEFORE WE GET ROCKING, I JUST HEARD A GUY IN THE BATHROOM SAY
THAT I'VE GOT A TRULY TINY WEINER, AND I JUST WANT ALL
30,000 OF YOU TO KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!" ( LAUGHTER )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) CARROT IN THE THROAT.
( CLEARING THROAT ) >> Jon: I KNOW WHO THAT WAS.
>> Stephen: TRUMP MUST HAVE FELT BAD ABOUT
HIS BEHAVIOR BECAUSE LATER HE TWEETED, "I KNOW IT IS NOT AT
ALL "PRESIDENTIAL" TO HIT BACK AT THE CORRUPT MEDIA, OR PEOPLE
WHO WORK FOR THE CORRUPT MEDIA, WHEN THEY MAKE FALSE STATEMENTS
ABOUT ME OR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
PROBLEM IS, IF YOU DON'T HIT BACK, PEOPLE BELIEVE THE FAKE
NEWS IS TRUE.
SO WE'LL HIT BACK!" (AS TRUMP)
"AND I KNOW IT'S NOT VERY "INTELLIGENT" TO STICK MY TONGUE
IN A LIGHT SOCKET, BUT IF I DON'T, PEOPLE MIGHT BELIEVE I
KNOW NOT TO DO THAT.
SO, IT'S TIME TO RIDE THE LIGHTNING DOWN TO TONGUE TOWN."
( LAUGHTER ) BUT TRUMP SIMPLY CAN'T RESIST.
THIS MORNING, AN EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE WENT ON CNBC TO COME OUT AGAINST TRUMP'S RECENT USE
OF TARIFFS.
>> THE WEAPONIZATION OF TARIFFS, THE INCREASE OF THREATS ON OUR
ECONOMY, ON OUR FARMERS, ON OUR MANUFACTURE, OUR CONSUMERS, IS
GOING TO HURT OUR COUNTRY.
TARIFFS ARE NOT THE WAY WE WANT TO GO.
>> STEPHEN: WHAT DOES HE KNOW ( LAUGHTER )
HE'S JUST VICE PRESIDENT OF THE NATION'S LARGEST BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION, WHO IS LITERALLY NAMED, MYRON BRILLIANT.
( LAUGHTER ) MYRON BRILLIANT.
>> Jon: WOW.
>> Stephen: HE MUST HAVE HAD A TOUGH TIME IN HIGH SCHOOL.
CHECK OUT MYRON BRILLIANT OVER HERE!
( LAUGHTER ) BUT IT'S JUST A DRIVE-BY
INTERVIEW WITH SOME TALKING HEAD ON CABLE NEWS.
WHO CARES?
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, ARE YOU... UH, ARE YOU WITH US?
>> I AM WITH YOU... HI, JOE.
>> HI... UH GREAT TO HAVE YOU ON, THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN.
>> LOOK, WITHOUT TARIFFS, WE WOULD BE CAPTIVE TO EVERY
COUNTRY, AND WE HAVE BEEN FOR MANY YEARS.
>> STEPHEN: MAYBE THAT'S A VALID POINT.
MAYBE IT'S NOT.
DOESN'T MEAN THE PRESIDENT SHOULD CALL THE TV MAN.
(AS TRUMP) "HELLO, WHEEL OF FORTUNE, GIVE
ME PAT SAJAK.
I'M READY TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
HAMBERDER."
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
ONCE PRESIDENT 14TH CALLER WAS ON THE LINE, HE WAS IN NO HURRY
TO GET BACK TO WORK.
>> DO YOU THINK FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE AND AMAZON, ARE THESE
COMPANIES ARE TOO BIG NOW?
DO YOU THINK THEY SHOULD BE BROKEN UP?
>> WELL, I CAN TELL YOU THEY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ME.
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT COLLUSION, THE REAL COLLUSION IS BETWEEN THE
DEMOCRATS AND THESE COMPANIES BECAUSE THEY WERE SO AGAINST ME
DURING MY ELECTION RUN.
>> STEPHEN: (AS TRUMP) "I'M TELLING YOU, GOOGLE HAS IT
OUT FOR ME, I GOOGLED MY NAME AND... HOLY SMOKES, THERE'S
ANOTHER DONALD TRUMP OUT THERE, WHO IS DUMB AS A BAG OF HAMMERS.
( LAUGHTER ) AND YOU GO ON GOOGLE IMAGES
AND THERE ARE PICTURES OF HIM THAT LOOK LIKE AN
UNREFRIGERATED HOG CARCASS."
( LAUGHTER )
