"Manhood Is Under ATTACK!" Why Donald Trump Keeps Fighting For America — Maintaining with Tyrus

[0:00] You debated Biden the first time and you debated him the second time. [0:03] How much of a difference did you notice from the two? [0:05] You look at Kamala, she's worse than Biden. [0:08] The next day, you remember they announced that crime is up like 45%, so I was right. [0:12] But I haven't gotten an apology from David, but I don't want him anymore. [0:15] I haven't gotten an apology. [0:17] I have been so wrong about this man because I never understood [0:22] why you fight the way you fight. You're a family man. [0:24] First of all, Mr. President, thank you so much for doing this. [0:37] This is a tremendous honor for me. I'm a big fan. [0:41] Well, just so you understand. Thank you. [0:42] Well, I'm glad because I've got an issue with you. [0:45] And I really I and when you gave me this opportunity, first of all, [0:49] thank you for coming on the Gutfeld show was hilarious. [0:51] Yeah, it was a lot of fun. It's a good show. [0:52] And I actually owe you an apology before we start. [0:55] I've been very critical about you, how you fight all through the campaigns. [1:00] I voted for you because I like policy. [1:02] I didn't know you as a man. [1:04] And I think when you don't understand what a man fights for, [1:06] you can get lost, especially with all the noise we're seeing from fake news, [1:09] et cetera, created these pictures from you. [1:11] Nice. [1:12] So Gutfeld show's over. Cameras are off. [1:15] We go backstage and I expected you to be like every politician [1:19] or anybody of every celebrity I bodyguarded for. [1:22] And you met my family and you talked to my daughter. [1:25] My daughter is 10 years old. Her name is Georgie. [1:27] You guys talked for 20 minutes. [1:28] If I didn't, if nobody knew, you could have been her grandfather. [1:32] And you were talking about her horses and her dreams. [1:34] And I was sitting there and I was like, I have been so wrong about this man [1:39] because I never understood why you fight the way you fight. [1:42] You're a family man. [1:43] I am. [1:44] You're a father. [1:45] And your daughters are gorgeous, really. [1:48] And your wife, the whole thing. [1:49] I mean, you have got some set up. [1:52] I'll tell you. [1:53] But your family's great and you're great and you've really done something [1:56] and you've captured a certain spirit. [1:58] You know, a friend of mine who's very smart, he's also a very big guy. [2:02] He said, because I'm big and strong, people think I'm not the smartest guy. [2:06] Oh, I know. [2:07] Okay? [2:07] You are a really smart guy. [2:10] And I see it and I've watched it and I like the show. [2:12] And we have the privilege of having had the highest rating in the history of the show [2:16] when I did it a couple of weeks ago. [2:18] That was just high. [2:18] Of all time. [2:19] Of all time, yeah. [2:20] We beat network television. [2:21] You beat everybody. [2:22] And they were up 35 million homes and it was a landslide. [2:25] Yep. [2:26] Now, you're putting it on me. [2:28] I'm throwing it back to you, Mr. President. [2:29] Go ahead. [2:30] Why do we not hear more about Donald Trump, the father, the grandfather? [2:36] And I did a deep dive. [2:39] There are some of the things you have done that when they say those horrible things [2:42] like he's Hitler, he's a racist. [2:45] Did they not forget in 1991 what you did with Nelson Mandela? [2:50] Would you care to share that? [2:51] Because I would love to hear that. [2:52] I never talk about it. [2:53] No, you do not. [2:54] And I know why, because you're a man. [2:56] Yeah. [2:56] I mean, I just have great relationships with a lot of people. [3:00] People say that, you know, a little bit like you do. [3:03] I don't think it's a narrative the press likes. [3:05] Maybe it's not even a narrative that I should have. [3:08] We have to protect our country and maybe we should let the other side. [3:12] I don't even call them the enemy. [3:13] I think we have more of an enemy from within than we do from outside. [3:16] You know, if you have a smart president, they talk about China and Russia and everything else. [3:21] If you have a smart president, they're not going to be the problem. [3:23] We have a bigger problem from within and they hate it. [3:26] I noticed today they were saying he said the enemy from within. [3:30] Of course, it's Adam Schiff. [3:31] These are bad people. [3:33] These are sick people and bad people. [3:36] And it's true. [3:37] But I think it's a narrative that they don't like, frankly. [3:40] I think the fake news, a term I think I came up with. [3:44] I'm very proud. [3:45] No, you did. [3:45] You called it. [3:45] It's not tough. [3:46] You should probably trademark it. [3:47] But, you know, I'm not going to give you business tips. [3:50] But you know, it's funny because it's a great term, but it's actually not strong enough [3:54] because it's beyond fake. [3:55] It's really bad. [3:56] But Nelson Mandela and 80 of his constituents were trying to come to the United States. [4:01] Yeah. [4:02] The United States government wasn't helping him. [4:04] No one was helping him. [4:05] You chartered a 727 plane for their entire trip. [4:09] Yeah. [4:10] How was somebody, and that's crazy because you can talk about anything and you, [4:14] why is it hard for you to talk about the things you've done? [4:17] It runs in your family. [4:18] Your father helped build a synagogue. [4:20] I mean, why do we not know those things? [4:22] It's something that I've never, I love doing it. [4:26] I don't need praise for it. [4:28] I don't, we all like a certain level of praise, but I've never, I just like helping people. [4:36] I help a lot of people and I enjoy doing it and I never talk. [4:39] It's nice that you bring it up. [4:41] I also think it's not a narrative that the press likes talking about for me. [4:45] But I think it would help a lot of the American people who have been misled. [4:48] I myself included. [4:50] Now, listen, I'm voting for you now because of the man you are, not just because of the policies, [4:54] because not every American will get the opportunity that I had to saw who you were backstage. [4:59] And that's why I have this list. [5:00] I mean, I can, I have testimonials. [5:02] I, we can't go through all because I want to see them. [5:04] Now this was, this was, I had to dig deep. [5:06] I like that. [5:07] You donated a hundred thousand dollars to raise dogs. [5:11] You're not even a dog guy. [5:12] Yeah. [5:12] Explain that. [5:13] Well, that's, uh, Lara. [5:14] So I have a wonderful, the wife of, of Eric and she's a terrific person. [5:21] You know, she's actually now a very big, uh, an important person in the, in getting elected [5:26] and Republican party comes from North Carolina. [5:28] She loves the dogs. [5:30] And I did that in her honor actually. [5:32] And, uh, you know, if you listen to her boy, dogs are treated very badly. [5:37] They're, you know, some evil people having to do even with dogs. [5:41] So I did that for my daughter-in-law. [5:42] Yeah. [5:43] More so than me. [5:44] I don't know that much about dogs, uh, but I want to take care of them. [5:47] And I had an opportunity, you know, as president, you can do a lot of things. [5:50] I did a lot at the size of the kennels, the size of the K you know, there's like cages that [5:55] they're in and that it's terrible. [5:57] It's like you have no room, no nothing. [5:59] And she came in with a whole group of people. [6:02] These are people that really fight hard for dogs. [6:05] I mean, you have people that fight and she's a good person. [6:08] So I did it for her. [6:09] I have hundreds, hundreds of employees who have said things like you've paid medical bills, [6:16] you, you paid mortgages, rents, you've helped get family members. [6:19] There is, there's one story in here that where a brother came in with a business plan. [6:23] Nobody would hear him. [6:25] You gave him 10 minutes. [6:26] You shook his hand and you cut him a check. [6:29] Why is it so hard for you and even your team? [6:32] I'm a little upset. [6:34] These are things that I think the American people, maybe when I get it, you're humble [6:38] because you're a father first and a grandfather. [6:40] And that's something, again, one thing we need in this country is we need a father figure again. [6:46] We need husbands and boyfriends and young men. [6:49] We need to see the fathers are capable of great things because we've dealt with it, [6:53] especially in the last three and a half years, a complete dismemberment of what it is to be a man. [6:57] We're under attack for everything. [6:59] We are. [7:02] Well, actually, manhood is under attack. [7:04] I see things that are so beautiful. [7:06] And the next day I see they're knocking the hell out of somebody for doing something that [7:10] the day before I said, what a wonderful thing. [7:13] Now we have to get back a little bit more. [7:15] You know, the other thing under attack is religion. [7:18] Religion was like the glue that kept this country together. [7:21] And so many people are mocking it. [7:24] They mock it. [7:25] And it just kept our country together. [7:27] But it's absolutely under attack and under attack by this administration. [7:32] And you look at Kamala. [7:33] She's worse than Biden. [7:34] Biden is he's out of it. [7:37] OK, oh, but she's she's actually not as smart as Biden. [7:41] Biden was smarter than her. [7:42] I think to this day he is. [7:44] And I don't think the country can take a chance on having hers. [7:47] I think it's a tremendous. [7:48] I don't even think it's a chance. [7:49] Let me ask you. [7:50] I think it would be a disaster. [7:51] Let me ask you the question that was posed [7:53] earlier last night that she refused to answer. [7:55] You debated Biden the first time and you debated him the second time. [7:58] How much of a difference did you notice from the two? [8:01] So are you talking about her and him? [8:04] No. [8:05] Or are you talking about just him? [8:06] This interview is about him. [8:07] Well, he was different. [8:08] I think he had a really bad night. [8:10] I don't think. [8:10] Cognitively. [8:11] He had a I don't know. [8:13] He had a really bad the second time. [8:15] Yeah, I think he had a really bad time of it. [8:18] So I debated him before and he was OK. [8:24] Look, I hit him hard. [8:25] I asked him about three and a half million dollars. [8:28] Remember when Chris Wallace was protecting him? [8:31] Chris Wallace is not doing so well. [8:32] Chris Wallace is not Mike. [8:34] But I asked him about the three and a half given to him by the mayor of Moscow's wife. [8:38] I said, how do you how do you justify this? [8:41] And then I always have two or three people to debate. [8:45] The last time I had David Muir, I call him interventions. [8:48] Oh, they're terrible. [8:49] Well, David Muir said crime is through the roof. [8:52] It's way up. [8:52] And he said, no, it's not. [8:53] It's way down. [8:54] The FBI said so. [8:55] Well, the FBI didn't include a lot of places. [8:57] Funny how that is. [8:57] Yeah. [8:58] The next day, you remember, they announced that crime is up like 45 percent. [9:01] So I was right. [9:02] But I haven't gotten an apology from David Muir, but I don't want him anymore. [9:05] I haven't gotten an apology. [9:07] No, I think Biden, look, the debate he had was not great. [9:14] But I think that he's a step above her, actually. [9:19] Speaking of apologies, the brave men and women on the border, especially the horse division, [9:25] that their lives were put in shovel. [9:28] One of the things I have on my policy list was that would you consider giving them a [9:34] day at the White House, a moment to be recognized? [9:37] Are we talking what they were saying about the whips in everything else, which didn't exist? [9:41] Not just them, but their families. [9:42] When the president of the United States comes out and condemns them. [9:44] You do it. [9:45] You set it up. [9:45] We win. [9:47] I'm there because that's it. [9:48] We have to win. [9:49] If we don't win, we're not going to have a country. [9:51] You're right. [9:52] They were they were brutalized. [9:54] You know, it's interesting. [9:56] These people are not smart, but they're vicious. [9:58] They're very vicious. [10:00] And you see it. [10:01] It's like fascist. [10:02] It's like Marxist. [10:03] I don't know what the hell it is. [10:05] But the level look at look at me, the the weaponization of the Justice Department. [10:11] Nobody's ever seen that they like it. [10:13] America. [10:14] Again, this is not hyperbole. [10:16] This is a guy I don't I don't fly private jets. [10:19] I fly every airport I go to all over the country. [10:22] Four years ago, are you able to use like one seat? [10:25] Because you are. [10:26] Yeah. [10:26] First class. [10:26] First class. [10:27] First class. [10:27] Yeah. [10:28] One seat. [10:28] Yeah. [10:28] Well, that means you have to stay wealthy. [10:30] Well, or keep billing Fox. [10:32] Well, that's even better. [10:33] Yeah. [10:34] I like that even better. [10:35] Yeah. [10:35] You know, outsource the bill. [10:36] But again, it just when I think about the verbiage and the things that are said about [10:43] you, even after we don't even know how many assassination attempts there has been. [10:48] Uh, but we know too, one of the things that I and I was that when you in that moment, [10:54] when you stood up and you yelled fight, fight, fight again, that's where I'm seeing the father. [10:59] It wasn't about you. [11:00] It was letting your family know you're okay and you're more concerned about the people. [11:04] But yet I'm still waiting for the interview to talk to you about that. [11:08] Why are you, why are we not sharing in that? [11:10] That was a tremendous moment. [11:11] I was in Oklahoma doing a stand-up show and I thought it was going to cancel because I wasn't [11:15] leaving the TV screen because I'm watching an assassination attempt on our president. [11:19] People will watch it. [11:19] There's no question about it. [11:21] That was a big deal. [11:21] But I went anyways to the show thinking no one would come. [11:24] And they came and instead of doing a stand-up show, I did a Q and A to talk about it. [11:27] And there was a lot of veterans that were there that were talking about how much they support [11:32] you and they believe in you and that they were, and they were generally concerned. [11:36] But they said they had no fear because when they saw you stand, you stood for them. [11:44] Because veterans, our police, our first responders have been, [11:49] forget the moral outrage of how they're treated, the funding, stuff like that. [11:54] And you have been doing some stuff with taxes. [11:56] I did a little bit, and I'm not a mathematician, but I did a little bit of checking. [12:00] One of the things, one of the policies like, [12:02] what did you consider thinking about for our veterans, for those who serve, [12:06] for those who are a police department, to where their taxation is the fact that they're [12:10] giving their bodies to this country instead of having to pay taxes? [12:13] No one ever, none of these cities want to give them raises, so at least let them keep their money. [12:17] You know, I've never heard that before, and it's like a very interesting thing. [12:21] It's the kind of thing you would think of, right? [12:23] Because they have been treated so terribly. [12:26] It's going to take more than a hug. [12:29] And here's the deal. [12:30] Well, if you're looking at serving in this country, in the military, or a police officer, [12:34] or a firefighter, and you're young and you're coming up, and you don't have to pay taxes [12:39] because you're paying taxes, it's almost an incentive to where we can get people interested. [12:44] And other countries do that, as you know. [12:46] Yeah. [12:46] Other countries do that. [12:47] Of course they do. [12:47] In spades. [12:49] Yeah, it's something I would think about. [12:50] You know, it's something that nobody ever brought up. [12:53] I've never heard it. [12:53] It's interesting you're bringing it up. [12:55] You're like my tax person there. [12:57] But, yeah, I mean, something has to be done. [13:00] Yes. [13:01] And we have to attract people. [13:02] I think you're the president to do it. [13:03] Well, the military is now not attracting people. [13:06] They're not going in. [13:07] And I think it's because they don't respect the people at the top, the commanding officer. [13:12] I mean, they're not, the commander in chief is not, I think you have to have, [13:17] we were not having this problem five years ago. [13:20] We have problems in the military right now. [13:23] You know, the one thing I will say though, and I tell this story, [13:26] we really did a great job with our military. [13:30] I rebuilt the military, right? [13:32] And we got rid of ISIS. [13:34] And I got to know them during this very short period of time. [13:36] It was supposed to take five years. [13:38] We did it in about a month to remember that. [13:40] Yep. [13:41] And I got to know the real military, not these guys that are woke and that are like, [13:44] you know, like, should I mention them? [13:48] Yeah. [13:48] I think we get it with the woke. [13:49] Huh? [13:50] No, no. [13:50] Yeah. [13:51] I'm knowing, trust me. [13:52] With Millie and his statements. [13:53] Yes. [13:53] And I mean, look, I guess Mattis is a nice guy. [13:56] But we have people in there that are much different, not the people on television, [14:00] the people that got rid of ISIS quickly. [14:04] I was told it was going to take five years. [14:07] And we did it in a matter of literal weeks. [14:10] And I said, this is a great military. [14:12] And by the way, then I woke. [14:14] You could never make them woke. [14:15] These are guys, you will never, ever make them woke. [14:19] But they did a great job, great job. [14:21] Yeah. [14:21] Now, you brought a space force. [14:24] Yeah. [14:24] And now partnering with Elon Musk and stuff, I think we're going to have some great things. [14:29] But one of the things I've been very critical over this administration is that I think we [14:33] need to have a school force. [14:35] We need to make our schools hard targets. [14:38] And there's no, again, looking for employment for our servicemen when they come out. [14:42] Because I feel like what's happening in our schools isn't a police thing, [14:45] it's a military thing. [14:46] Because they need to be, they are trained to look for these sites and stuff. [14:50] If we had military, not necessarily military, but they'll be coming over if we use social workers, [14:57] military police, and we each. [14:58] So let me ask you this. [14:59] So what about teachers that are in the military and the teachers, they leave the military, [15:04] they become history teachers, they become math teachers, and they're in the room and [15:07] they get to know the students and they know how to use it. [15:10] You can't have people that don't have any idea about what to do with guns. [15:13] But people that were in the military, that are in the classroom, and they have access [15:18] to guns, whether it's on them or in a little safe or something, you know, the problem is [15:24] if it's in a safe, it takes a long time to get it, right? [15:26] So, you know, but sometimes I think, and I've heard that, and I've thought about it a lot. [15:32] And in some ways, I like that more than just having police standing someplace in the building. [15:37] Do you like that idea? [15:38] It would be a small percentage of the teachers, like 5%. [15:41] But that would be much more than you would ever have with- [15:44] Anything is better than nothing. [15:46] Our banks are safer than our schools. [15:48] Yes, yes. [15:48] And our greatest investment are our kids. [15:49] Yeah. [15:50] So I have an issue with that. [15:51] And here's the deal. [15:52] I've learned a lot about this administration trying to get things done and talking to people. [15:58] I speak with a lot of mayors and a lot of my travels and stuff. [16:01] Right, right. [16:01] And this administration was supposed to be all about the environment and the Green New Deal [16:07] and all that crap. [16:08] But it's amazing. [16:09] So I lived in the- [16:10] You notice how that stopped? [16:12] I'm in the middle of a campaign, hopefully the end of a campaign, and it's going to be successful. [16:16] But we're in a campaign. [16:18] Nobody ever talks about the environment. [16:20] They don't talk about it. [16:21] They want clean air. [16:22] They want clean water. [16:23] This Green New scam is the worst thing that's ever happened. [16:27] They're destroying our, you know, the windmills all over the place. [16:31] You fly over these gorgeous areas. [16:32] You have windmills going all over. [16:34] You're not going to have any birds around, and the ones in the ocean are messing up the whales. [16:37] Windmills were great back when we all had buggy whips in carts. [16:41] Yeah, they were much nicer then, actually. [16:43] They were actually much nicer. [16:45] Now, when you think of what they've done, though, with all of the money that they've spent, [16:51] trillions and trillions of dollars, China does nothing, by the way, just so you understand. [16:55] No, China, India, absolutely not. [16:57] No, they don't do anything. [16:58] And by the way, that flies right over our country. [17:00] You do understand. [17:01] Those winds, four and a half days, it's over. [17:04] So here we are. [17:05] It costs us twice to make a product, three times, four times, five times. [17:09] And we're trying to keep everything nice and clean. [17:11] But the winds flying in from China, India, and every place else, it's crazy, isn't it? [17:18] Well, one of the things, the EP, okay, one of the things that I was, because living in Louisiana, we have a horrible problem with sewage and water overfills and things like that. [17:27] And the budget for, these mayors have this budget for the sewage, but yet nothing's ever done, right? [17:33] These engineers and their plans are based off how much money they get opposed to solving the problem. [17:40] So Mike Rowe told me about a company. [17:43] Good guy. [17:44] Oh, yeah. [17:45] Mike, let me put my glasses on. [17:46] I want to get this right. [17:47] I can't believe you wear glasses, huh? [17:49] Fifty. [17:52] Sewage Century, right? [17:53] Brad Colbert, I believe you knew his father on the Texas Rangers. [17:57] Yep. [17:57] So they have, they came up with this little tiny invention. [18:00] It's like this, look like a mushroom, a little ball in it. [18:02] And when you put it in the manholes, it separates the gas and the little ball comes up and the water can't come out the manhole. [18:07] So it doesn't, the sewage water doesn't spill and the overflows. [18:10] It costs a quarter. [18:11] You don't need a committee for it. [18:12] You don't need, you just put them in. [18:14] I think it, I think one city was like a quarter of a million dollars as opposed to the 20 million dollars they spent. [18:19] And it pays for itself a year and it's done. [18:21] So here I am in Louisiana, I go, oh, this is great. [18:24] And, oh, we have to form a committee. [18:26] We have to do this. [18:26] Well, you have a great new governor in Louisiana. [18:29] I bet you he'd take a look at it because your new governor, a Republican. [18:33] Yeah. [18:33] Is, uh, he was the attorney general. [18:36] Now he's a governor. [18:37] So if you give me that, I'll send it to him. [18:39] Okay. [18:39] Thank you, sir. [18:40] Sounds good. [18:41] Right. [18:41] Yeah. [18:42] Why is that something? [18:42] I mean, it's a big problem. [18:43] And it's a problem everywhere. [18:46] Our, our drinking water, you know, the fluoride in it, we're seeing, and then now we're seeing sewage. [18:51] And it's a lot of autoimmune diseases are happening with our kids. [18:55] If you give me, I will send it and I'll bet you get action. [18:57] Yeah. [18:57] It was, I moved. [18:59] I, well, one, because my daughter's an equestrian now and I had to move to New Jersey. [19:03] But, uh, but we eventually had to move because not only that, what we're seeing with the hurricane [19:08] storms, the insurance companies jacking up. [19:09] Now I'm blessed to have a, make a good living, but I'm not paying $300,000 a year in house taxes. [19:15] So I made insurance is one of the biggest increases. [19:18] And it's happened in the last four years. [19:20] People are going crazy with the insurance costs. [19:24] And I say, what about self insurance? [19:26] You know, sometimes people are better off with self insurance. [19:28] Because they can't afford the insurance. [19:30] And then the problem is when you need the insurance, they don't want to pay. [19:34] And they negotiate, right? [19:35] They say, we're not going to pay you. [19:37] And you end up getting five cents on the dollar. [19:39] It's a problem. [19:40] It's a real problem. [19:42] And, you know, I know you have a million things to do, but I father to the grandfather. [19:47] I would like to ask you a question. [19:48] Um, I made a mistake with my child, my daughter, when she wanted to get an equestrian. [19:53] I was supposed to tell her she was allergic. [19:55] I didn't do that to horses because it's, it's expensive. [19:59] It's unbelievable. [20:00] And you guys talked a lot about it. [20:01] Now, my daughter's now going to Wilmington, Florida to compete. [20:05] And I had to move the horses down there. [20:07] So she's very good, right? [20:08] Very good. [20:09] Like, I'm, I'm in, I'm in. [20:11] Good. [20:11] Yeah. [20:11] After this is over, I'll be sweeping this place up. [20:13] Good. [20:13] Every extra dollar. [20:14] Good. [20:14] But your, now your granddaughters and your family, do they ride horses as well? [20:22] Not too much. [20:24] They like it. [20:24] They do it maybe a little bit, but not, not like your daughter. [20:27] No, your daughter's supposed to be very, like you, a talented athlete, right? [20:32] Yeah. [20:32] Yeah. [20:32] You can see it. [20:33] Now I've heard that. [20:34] Yeah. [20:34] My son plays baseball, traveling. [20:35] So I'm the GM. [20:36] The way I look at it, if you're the first one in, last one to leave, daddy invests. [20:40] I just forgot to put a salary. [20:41] Yeah. [20:42] A little cheaper. [20:43] A little bit less. [20:43] It never ends though. [20:45] No, but it never ends. [20:46] No, but, uh, we're going to be in, uh, Wilmington. [20:49] How far is Wilmington from Mar-a-Lago? [20:51] So Wilmington is about, uh, 20 minutes away. [20:54] Is there, can I get a group rate? [20:56] Yes. [20:57] No, you're going to come over. [20:58] We're going to have dinner with your daughter and your family, your wife. [21:01] We're going to come over and have dinner. [21:03] But, uh, do you mean Wellington or Wilmington? [21:06] Wilmington. [21:07] I can't, I say it wrong because if you, how much, I just paid to have the horses moved. [21:12] So it's a little traumatic for me. [21:14] It could be, but it's either one's about, uh, yeah, 20, 25 minutes to come over. [21:19] I'd love to have you on. [21:20] Thank you, sir. [21:21] No, but you're a terrific guy. [21:22] Look, it's, that show has caught on and the whole group is, is great. [21:27] But I just, I've always watched you. [21:29] You always were defending me and a lot of people don't defend me. [21:32] And I like people that defend me because I think I'm doing the right thing. [21:36] And we have a lot of bad people in our country. [21:38] You know, we have a lot of people that you almost say they must hate our country [21:41] because what they do is so bad for our country. [21:44] But I just have always. [21:45] Well, I'm not allergic to straight talk. [21:47] Yeah. [21:47] And every man of consequence that I learned from in my life, [21:51] never bullshitted nothing with me. [21:53] Whether it was Dusty Rhodes, whether it was my football coaches, [21:56] whether it was anybody I was with, they always told it to me straight. [21:58] Even when I didn't like what I wanted to hear, [22:00] because I always believed everybody can handle bad news and good news, [22:04] but no news and bullshit. [22:06] Don't piss down my back and my grandmother used to say and tell me it's rain. [22:09] And that's one thing that you have never done. [22:12] You always, if you don't want to hear, [22:14] because the American people can accept bad news. [22:16] Because when we know how bad it is, [22:17] then we can look forward to getting it better. [22:19] And that's in this age of endorsements. [22:22] Yeah. [22:22] You know, that's why you have my endorsement, Mr. President. [22:24] You can take that cup of coffee and do whatever you want with it. [22:27] No, no. It means a lot to me. It does. [22:29] You know, I think this is going to be the most important election in the history of our country. [22:33] I agree. [22:34] Because our country is going bad. [22:35] You know, I hate to say, I wouldn't do this with just politics. [22:38] Our country is going bad. [22:40] The things we do. [22:41] I mean, men playing in women's sports. [22:44] Okay. [22:44] No, absolutely not. [22:45] It's crazy. [22:47] And let's not say it's the most important, [22:49] but it's just crazy. [22:50] The whole concept, having no borders, [22:53] having elections where you're not allowed to ask somebody [22:58] whether or not they happen to live in the country. [22:59] Just anybody can walk in. [23:01] Yeah. [23:01] It's really wacky. [23:02] And we're going to get it changed, Cyrus. [23:04] I believe that. [23:05] Well, no, I have to ask this because you love sports. [23:09] It's almost as much as I do, especially boxing. [23:11] Yeah, I do. [23:11] I love it. [23:12] I love it. [23:13] Do you miss not being able to do all that stuff? [23:16] Because, like, wrestling did four and five. [23:18] Part of my childhood inspired me to end up becoming a wrestler. [23:21] I thank you on Godfield for that. [23:23] I did that. [23:24] I'm in the WWE Hall of Fame. [23:26] Yes, you are. [23:27] And Dana is a good friend of mine with UFC. [23:29] What a job he's done, right? [23:30] Dana White is incredible. [23:31] He's, like, an incredible guy. [23:33] And, yeah, I was always involved in it. [23:37] I remember in those days, well, Hulk is a great guy. [23:40] You have to say. [23:41] Yeah, yeah. [23:41] He was great. [23:42] When he ripped his shirt off. [23:43] Now, listen, I was a Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff guy. [23:45] But I got it. [23:47] But I think that was a great moment. [23:49] And so you are very quick. [23:52] And you can talk trash with the best of them. [23:54] Yeah. [23:54] Who was the biggest influence? [23:55] Was it Don King or Muhammad Ali? [23:57] Because your style is like ours. [24:00] Like, when you come to talking trash. [24:02] And I know you hung out with those guys. [24:05] I know a lot of them. [24:05] I did the search. [24:06] I know that you have been, it's hilarious after reading and the stuff I've saw. [24:11] And I just saw a little bit. [24:12] There was, it's hard to find, but you have been a regular guy with, you never cared what [24:18] color somebody was or who they slept with. [24:20] All you cared was the content of their character and if they could do the damn job or not. [24:23] They were both friends of mine. [24:25] Now, Don King is still alive. [24:26] Yeah. [24:26] He's 92 years old. [24:28] Yeah. [24:28] He lives in Florida. [24:29] He's a great guy. [24:30] He endorsed me very strongly. [24:32] He said, you got to vote for Trump. [24:34] And I probably spoke to him a week ago, maybe. [24:37] And he was great. [24:38] Very different guys. [24:39] But there's nobody. [24:41] Don King, each incredible. [24:43] Don King, nobody like that. [24:45] And Muhammad Ali, nobody like that. [24:47] These were two unique people. [24:49] You know, Don King was a tough cookie too. [24:51] Oh yeah. [24:51] He beat the hell out of people. [24:53] Unfortunately, it cost him a lot. [24:55] Yeah. [24:55] But he was a tough guy. [24:56] He was a tough guy, but he's a big supporter. [24:59] Muhammad Ali was actually a friend of mine. [25:01] I knew him pretty well. [25:03] He was amazing, actually. [25:05] He was amazing. [25:05] And, you know, you look at some of the fights. [25:08] Sonny Liston had no chance of being beaten. [25:10] And he got beaten badly twice. [25:13] Oh, yeah. [25:13] And then when you look at George Foreman, another really good guy. [25:17] But he just had George Foreman. [25:19] George Foreman at that time was bulletproof. [25:21] He was bulletproof. [25:22] Remember when he fought three guys and knocked him out? [25:24] I was a little young, but I remember the things. [25:26] He fought three guys one night. [25:29] But the third guy, and Muhammad Ali was watching. [25:32] The third guy, he was getting a lot of tired, you know. [25:36] What was your favorite all-time big prize fight that you were at? [25:40] Well, believe it or not, I was at Madison Square Garden. [25:43] I think it was Ali Frazier won. [25:47] Oh, so you were there. [25:49] That's, in my opinion, the most historic fight of all time. [25:52] So I was there as a young guy, a very young guy. [25:55] And I remember there were many heart attacks. [25:58] Can you believe it? [25:59] They had heart attacks. [26:00] Men, I heard, I don't even want to say it because it sounds ridiculous, but there were a lot of heart attacks. [26:05] It was the craziest evening. [26:07] Two undefeated, legendary fighters. [26:11] They were both undefeated, and it was brutal. [26:14] And that was the days of the 15-round fight, you know. [26:17] Yeah, when they had the fight. [26:18] And I can't say it because, you know, look, I'm not in the ring. [26:20] But those fights were better. [26:22] You know, those extra three rounds. [26:25] Well, that was the championship rounds. [26:27] They say 11 and 12. [26:28] They were the championships rounds. [26:30] Now, how were you dressed for that? [26:31] Because it was the 70s, and it was wild, crazy. [26:34] Now, you've always been kind of, never been a big fan. [26:36] But did you have, was it just the suit, or did you have the jacket? [26:38] Yeah, I think just pretty normal, but I was a very young guy. [26:41] Yeah. [26:41] But in terms of an event, I think that was maybe the greatest event. [26:45] That was the first Super Bowl. [26:47] But now you have Dana White who's done such a great job with the UFC. [26:50] I don't know, the boxing, unless something happens, the boxing doesn't look the same as it did. [26:55] Fighting over Saudi Arabia is not the same thing with all due respect. [26:57] No, no, but it's, he's done a great job with the UFC. [27:01] Would you ever do the UFC stuff? [27:03] Watch it? [27:03] Yeah. [27:04] No, from years ago. [27:05] Oh, years ago? [27:05] Yeah, if it was available. [27:06] Can you take the shots to the face? [27:08] Well, I'm not going to get in the face. [27:09] I had one shot. [27:11] Most of my fights were over in about five or six. [27:12] Well, that's good. [27:13] A weird thing would be fighting one guy. [27:15] Usually I had to fight three or four in clubs, so. [27:17] But those days were behind me. [27:18] I asked Dan Gable. [27:19] So he was probably the greatest wrestler of that type, right? [27:23] And he was fantastic. [27:25] I said, would you have done well in the UFC if, you know, if they had it then? [27:28] And he said, no, because I could never, I would never let people hit me in the face. [27:33] You know, it's a whole different, it's a whole different culture, frankly. [27:36] Well, you can get in the face. [27:37] You have the wrestling background, I think. [27:38] Yeah. [27:38] A lot of great wrestlers. [27:40] I think Kurt Angle would have been tremendous. [27:41] Yeah, probably. [27:42] Had he been, you know, not broke his neck and stuff. [27:44] But I know you, I could keep you here forever, and I'm getting the circles and the doo-wops. [27:48] And Mr. President, thank you. [27:49] This has been an opportunity for you. [27:51] You don't know what's going on. [27:53] I am having, I'm the keynote speaker at the biggest dinner in New York, probably, of the year. [28:00] And I had a choice. [28:01] I was going to walk in and say, could you do me a favor? [28:04] Could I do this interview tomorrow or maybe next week? [28:07] And I said, I'm not doing it to Tyrus. [28:09] And I got people over at the big hotel, and that room is packed, and everybody's wearing white tie. [28:15] Not black tie. [28:15] I don't like wearing white tie, but it's white tie. [28:18] And it's waiting for me. [28:21] And I said, you know what? [28:22] I got to do it with Tyrus, because I respect him. [28:24] Oh, thank you. [28:25] And Tyrus has always, I tell you people, he's always stuck up for me when maybe it wasn't the thing to do. [28:31] And he's always there. [28:32] So I'm here for you. [28:33] And I'm a little late, but that's okay. [28:35] I would have waited until tomorrow, sir, but I'm glad you did it today. [28:38] Thank you, man. [28:39] Special guy. [28:39] Thank you, Mr. President. [28:40] Thank you very much. [28:41] Thank you. [28:41] Best of luck be to me. [28:42] Take care of you soon. [28:43] Yes, sir. [28:44] Thank you.
