BOOM! Trump Just Gave 60 Minutes His Firing Answer

[0:00] Ross Douthat asked President Trump the one question every D.C. block critic pretends he cannot survive. [0:06] Six months, zero insults at Democrats, a deal on the table. [0:09] President Trump answered very easily. [0:11] That 34.6-second, 60-minute preview leads. [0:15] Douthat raised Texas Democrat James Tallarico in the old Tallarico jab. [0:19] President Trump smiled and said he could work with them. [0:21] Here is the stake. [0:24] Ross Douthat set a six-month silence test like it is the only road to a deal. [0:29] President Trump made no pledge. [0:31] He signed no deal. [0:33] He said very easily and kept the humor. [0:35] That answer exposes the premise Democrats aren't waiting for a softer Trump. [0:39] They're waiting to see if he blinks. [0:41] He didn't. [0:42] After this break, I'll play the full 55.9 seconds where Douthat pushes him on firings. [0:48] President Trump says maybe a few changes, refuses to name names, then backs Pete Hegseth. [0:53] That second clip is the setup. [0:55] President Trump answered Ross Douthat's six-month no-insult challenge with two words very easily. [1:03] That is not a promise made, but it is the sound of a man who knows he can deliver. [1:07] I apply that same standard before I put a partner on this program. [1:11] Patriot Gold Group has been the Consumer Affairs top-rated gold IRA dealer 1010 years in a row. [1:18] That is a decade of access and trust, not a tagline. [1:21] It's America 250, no-fee-for-life IRA lets you hold physical gold and silver, physical gold and silver in an IRA or 401k. [1:31] You may be eligible for the no-fee-for-life IRA on qualifying rollovers. [1:35] Call 888-217-8911 for your free investor guide. [1:39] The guide spells out what a qualifying rollover is. [1:42] The call takes minutes. [1:44] This is a Next News sponsor. [1:45] That very easily has now made the New York Post headline card. [1:50] Trump insists he could go six months without insulting Democrats to secure a deal. [1:54] It is the same answer frozen in print, not a third clip. [1:57] Pull up the Post. [1:58] We'll unpack it on the other side. [2:01] So I'll say I saw James Tallarico, the new Democratic senator from Texas. [2:06] I saw him on Fox News. [2:07] And he said immigration was one of the things he wanted to work with. [2:10] Others do. [2:11] South Carolina said. [2:12] You did, in the course of the campaign, you did occasionally call him Tallafrico. [2:18] Yeah, I did. [2:19] Do you think you could work with the Democrats without insulting them consistently? [2:23] Yeah, I could. [2:24] You think so? [2:25] I also call many of them Democrats. [2:28] You did that just the other day. [2:30] If it took six months of not insulting the Democrats to get a deal done, do you think he could do it? [2:35] Very easily. [2:36] He says he could go six months without insulting Democrats very easily. [2:39] In that same 60 Minutes interview, President Trump said he expected to fire people. [2:44] And the report names Chief of Staff Susie Wiles as the first. [2:48] In a previous lifetime, you were rather famous for saying you're fired quite often. [2:52] After a big midterm defeat like this, do you expect to fire anyone from your team? [2:57] I do, yeah. [2:57] You do? [2:57] A little bit. [2:58] A little bit? [2:58] I love my cabinet. [3:00] I think they're good. [3:01] But I'll be doing maybe a few changes. [3:04] I don't want to mention who because I think they're going to be. [3:05] I will say that we saw Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in the hall. [3:09] He was meeting with you just before now. [3:11] His name has come up a few times as someone people have called for his resignation. [3:16] Do you have confidence in him? [3:17] I do. [3:18] Look, we've won two wars. [3:23] We've won Venezuela and taken out billions and billions and billions of dollars already. [3:29] And we will be taking out many billions of dollars and get along very well. [3:33] And you could call it a territory, you could call it whatever you want. [3:37] We won that war in less than one hour. [3:39] And you credit Hegseth. [3:40] And nobody was killed. [3:41] You credit Pete Hegseth for that? [3:42] No, but he was a part of it. [3:44] 60 Minutes named Susie Wiles as the first. [3:46] Wow. [3:46] Now President Trump is turning to the Texas border and the Alaska Senate race, calling out [3:50] what he says is voter fraud. [3:51] I'm ready to reinforce the Texas southern border now that the new Democratic governor is removing [3:59] state manpower from border defense. [4:02] I am sure that the new governor is going to want to have security of this Texas border. [4:09] There were people on television two days ago saying how it's like living in heaven compared [4:14] to living in hell when Biden was there. [4:17] And I'm sure they'll continue my policy. [4:20] And if they don't continue my policy, I will. [4:24] On going to Alaska today, you actually transferred the vote to reportedly recruit candidates to [4:30] Senator, the real Senator Dan Sullivan. [4:32] How do you see that actually happening? [4:34] And what other actions? [4:35] You have a Dan Sullivan, the real Dan. [4:39] I call him the real Dan Sullivan. [4:40] You have the fake Dan Sullivan. [4:41] The fake Dan Sullivan got a lot of votes, meaning 2% or something, but a lot. [4:46] And then they also have somebody else in there that they put. [4:48] They put two people, not just Dan Sullivan. [4:51] They put the fake Dan Sullivan. [4:52] They put another guy who never ran for officer or anything, and they said certain things, [4:58] and he got like 3,000, 4,000 votes. [5:00] And when you add up those votes, Dan Sullivan, the real Dan Sullivan, wins in a lance, not [5:06] a lance, but wins by thousands of votes. [5:09] And I say they, because it was a fraud, it's voter fraud. [5:13] Because it was a fraud, and they took that, and they took that fraud, and they thought they [5:18] confused the voter. [5:19] And the people that like Dan Sullivan, he's a very good senator. [5:22] The people that like Dan Sullivan, by mistake, voted for the fake Dan Sullivan. [5:27] Likewise, they have another Republican candidate in there. [5:30] So people said a Republican candidate probably had some policy down there, and they voted for [5:35] him. [5:36] So they cheated on thousands of votes. [5:38] Everyone knows it's a cheat. [5:40] And they should be mandated to take the fake Dan Sullivan's votes and the other person [5:44] they put in there and give it to the real Dan Sullivan. [5:47] And when that happens, he wins by thousands of votes. [5:50] And thank you very much, everybody. [5:52] Thank you. [5:53] Thank you. [5:53] Thank you. [5:54] Thank you. [5:54] Thank you. [5:54] It's a nice party. [5:56] Ross Douthat walked in expecting six months of decorum pressure. [5:59] President Trump gave him two words and a shrug. [6:02] Very easily, that is not a pledge. [6:04] It is a man telling the interviewer the question is theater. [6:07] Then Douthat reached for the old nickname, Taller Fricco. [6:10] President Trump let it ride. [6:12] No bite, no meltdown. [6:13] The network teed up a tantrum. [6:14] They got the opposite. [6:16] So the takeaway from these 60 minutes previews is narrow. [6:19] No one signed a six-month promise on camera. [6:22] President Trump gave a hypothetical answer very easily and let the old nickname pass. [6:27] That is not a concession to the Beltway-style police, right? [6:30] It is the confidence of a president who knows he can leave the insult contest and still win. [6:35] Watch the full interview Sunday at 7 p.m. [6:38] Eastern, but do not let a 34.6-second clip decide what you repeat. [6:42] Share the full exchange. [6:43] Challenge the next person who claims he cannot work with Democrats to name the deal they are offering. [6:47] Then come back here. [6:49] When the full transcript lands, we will read it line by line against what Douthat actually asked. [6:54] That is the only way these previews make sense. [6:57] The Very Easily clip will dominate cable tonight, but the full 60 Minutes interview has far more. [7:02] Our team credentialed inside the White House already pulled the next report.
