This is the first you and I have ever discussed what happened. It's on. You've called women you don't"
[0:00] Megan Kelly. Welcome to my first Primetime Network special. Here's what
[0:04] you're in for. Donald Trump. Donald Trump. Donald Trump. Donald Trump.
[0:08] It's been a long nine months. It has been a long time. This is the first you and I have
[0:12] ever discussed what happened. It's on. You've called women you don't like fat
[0:16] pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. I thought it was a fair question. I
[0:20] thought it was unfair. You know it's not a cocktail party. I want to talk for a
[0:24] minute about the tweeting. You would be amazed at the ones that don't retweet.
[0:27] Bimbo. Did I say that? Many times. Oh, okay. And from rocky childhood to rocky
[0:38] horror, transgender star Laverne Cox is telling her story. Did you ever worry
[0:43] that your mom didn't love you? That's exactly what I worried about. I, um,
[0:48] Megan. Also, it's been nearly two decades since OJ's first defense lawyer,
[0:53] Robert Shapiro, has spoken. Moments after the verdict, OJ Simpson leaned
[0:58] over and whispered something in your ear. What did he say? You believe
[1:02] that the killer has never faced trial. And why can't Michael Douglas ever
[1:07] catch a break with the tabloids? Well, I was thinking when I heard that
[1:10] you had three months to live and you were sitting for this interview for
[1:13] me that maybe I was on your bucket list. I'm honored. Chick-tok.
[1:18] Let's just dive right in. It's been over nine months since the first
[1:25] Republican presidential debate and an electric exchange between yours truly
[1:29] and Donald Trump. What happened between us then and after would make headlines
[1:34] around the globe. For those nine long months, he and I did not speak, nor did I
[1:39] ever respond to his attacks. Tonight, for the first time, I'll ask him about that
[1:45] and about his seemingly unstoppable rise to the top of the Republican ticket.
[1:50] And nothing is off limits. America has never seen anything like the political juggernaut
[1:57] called Donald Trump. A businessman and reality TV star with no political experience burst onto the
[2:04] scene and electrified voters with big threats. We're going to knock the hell out of ISIS.
[2:10] And big promises. We are going to win in every aspect of our lives.
[2:15] While explaining the art of the deal. We're going to make great trade deals.
[2:18] He perfected the art of the insult. It's Rubio.
[2:24] Against rivals. Little Marco. Little Marco.
[2:27] Lie intent. Lie intent. Detractors. He's a war hero because he was captured.
[2:32] I like people that weren't captured. And the press. I would never kill him.
[2:35] But I do hate him. Including yours truly.
[2:39] Beginning with the very first Republican debate. Mr. Trump, one of the things people love about you
[2:45] is you speak your mind and you don't use a politician's filter.
[2:48] You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.
[2:56] Your Twitter account...
[2:57] Only Rosie O'Donnell.
[2:59] Mr. Trump did not like the question. At all.
[3:02] For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O'Donnell.
[3:05] Yes, I'm sure.
[3:06] Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?
[3:09] What I say is what I say. And honestly, Megan, if you don't like it, I'm sorry. I've been very nice to you.
[3:17] Although I could probably maybe not be based on the way you have treated me, but I wouldn't do that.
[3:22] And he sent out a tweet that night.
[3:24] Wow, at Megan Kelly really bombed tonight.
[3:27] And a retweet.
[3:29] Fox viewers give low marks to bimbo Megan Kelly.
[3:31] Then he made this remark.
[3:33] You know, she gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions.
[3:37] And, you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes.
[3:41] Blood coming out of her wherever.
[3:43] And he explained it this way.
[3:46] I was going to say nose and or ears because that's a very common statement.
[3:51] Blood pouring out of somebody's nose. It's a statement showing anger.
[3:54] That set off a firestorm.
[3:56] This is a candidate who's really had a history of some misogynistic statements.
[4:00] We've seen Donald Trump do this over and over again.
[4:02] The pundits said his attacks were political suicide.
[4:05] More fallout from the latest Republican debate.
[4:08] I don't know how he thinks he's going to win an election.
[4:10] His unfavorability with women is skyward.
[4:12] This weekend surely signaled the end of Trump's campaign.
[4:15] The pundits were wrong.
[4:17] An NBC News survey monkey poll shows Trump with 23%.
[4:21] A new poll number showed that Donald Trump is surging.
[4:23] The more Trump speaks, the more he spikes.
[4:26] It didn't matter what he said or how he said it.
[4:29] Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.
[4:36] When Mexico sends its people, they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists.
[4:42] Voters were angry and they liked that he was angry too.
[4:46] In January, he skipped the next Fox News debate.
[4:50] Megyn Kelly's really biased against me.
[4:53] Do you really think she can be fair at a debate?
[4:55] Which set off a new torrent of tweets.
[4:57] 80,000 tweets directed towards Megyn Kelly.
[5:01] Votative broke it down to see what the most popular words were.
[5:05] Crazy Megyn Kelly.
[5:06] Crazy.
[5:07] Overrated.
[5:08] Bimbo.
[5:08] Buggy.
[5:09] Bimbo Megyn Kelly.
[5:10] Slug.
[5:10] Booker.
[5:11] Days later, he lost the Iowa caucuses.
[5:14] But Trump went on to win and win some more.
[5:17] Another big win for Donald Trump.
[5:19] A huge win for Donald Trump.
[5:20] And then a new debate.
[5:22] Nice to be with you, Megyn.
[5:23] Great to have you here.
[5:24] You're looking well.
[5:25] You're looking well.
[5:26] As are you.
[5:27] Followed by more fallout.
[5:29] And a call to boycott the Kelly file.
[5:31] Can't watch Crazy Megyn anymore.
[5:34] Finally in April, a meeting at Trump Tower.
[5:39] The meeting was at my request.
[5:41] And Mr. Trump was gracious enough to agree to it.
[5:43] Donald Trump and his arch nemesis Megyn Kelly are making peace.
[5:46] There are signs of a truce this morning between Trump and Trump.
[5:48] Their feud apparently diffused.
[5:50] You met with Megyn Kelly today.
[5:52] How did that go?
[5:53] 17 candidates down, and Trump is the last man standing.
[6:00] The presumptive Republican nominee.
[6:04] Let's begin.
[6:05] Thank you for sitting down with me.
[6:07] Thank you very much, my honor.
[6:08] It's been a long nine months.
[6:09] It has been a long time.
[6:11] I agree.
[6:12] I want to ask you about the beginning of your campaign.
[6:14] There had to be a moment on stage at a campaign rally or one night after a win where it occurred
[6:21] to you, I could actually be the president.
[6:25] When was that?
[6:26] Well, I think the debates were really a big thing.
[6:29] And not to bring up an unpleasant debate, but, you know, that first debate was pretty amazing.
[6:34] And 24 million people watching it, a record on cable television.
[6:38] And I think that meant something.
[6:40] I think that first debate meant something.
[6:41] Because I felt very, very comfortable with the subject, and I felt very comfortable with
[6:46] the people I was competing against.
[6:48] Let's talk a little bit about litigation.
[6:51] Because you have threatened to sue many people in the course of the campaign.
[6:56] But, of course, if you wind up president, you're not going to be able to do that either.
[7:00] Can you go four years without threatening to sue anybody?
[7:02] Well, what China's done to us is, maybe you do the world, you know, you do, you know,
[7:07] you do have methods of suing countries, okay?
[7:09] It's going to be a busy law firm.
[7:10] No, no, it's going to be busy.
[7:11] But it's a little different.
[7:14] And it's also a tactic for me.
[7:16] It's a business for me.
[7:17] And I've been successful.
[7:18] And I've, you know, used litigation.
[7:21] And sometimes I use it maybe when I shouldn't, and sometimes I don't.
[7:25] Have you made any mistakes in this campaign?
[7:27] You had said publicly you thought the retweet about Heidi Cruz was a mistake.
[7:31] Let me just...
[7:32] Well, I said I could have done without it, to be exact.
[7:35] I mean, I could have done without it.
[7:36] You said a mistake.
[7:37] Are you walking that back?
[7:38] No, no, I'm not walking it back.
[7:39] But I actually didn't say it that way.
[7:41] I said I could have done without it.
[7:43] But it was a mistake, wasn't it?
[7:45] I mean, you shouldn't have done that, right?
[7:46] I wish I didn't do it.
[7:48] Although, you know, I guess you could say she's fair game because she's very much involved with the campaign.
[7:53] But I don't know.
[7:54] She just seems like a nice woman.
[7:55] But that's where you mocked her looks.
[7:56] Well, you know what?
[7:57] I have millions of followers at Real Donald Trump.
[8:00] I have millions of followers.
[8:02] I have millions of...
[8:03] I'm familiar.
[8:03] Yes, you are.
[8:04] The thing that gets me in trouble is retweets.
[8:06] The retweet is really more of a killer than the tweets.
[8:09] The tweets I seem to do pretty well with.
[8:11] So that's one, the Heidi Cruz thing.
[8:13] Let me just give you a list of a couple and tell me whether you have any regrets on it.
[8:16] Go ahead.
[8:17] The comment about John McCain, you prefer people who weren't captured.
[8:21] The comment about Carly Fiorina's face.
[8:24] But do you regret any of those comments?
[8:25] Yeah, I guess so.
[8:27] But you have to go forward.
[8:29] You make a mistake, you go forward, and you, you know, you can correct a mistake.
[8:33] But to look back and say, gee whiz, I wish I didn't do this or that, I don't think that's good.
[8:38] I don't even think in a certain way, I don't even think that's healthy.
[8:41] I want to talk a little bit about your family.
[8:42] Your older brother, Fred Jr., was an alcoholic and died at a relatively young age.
[8:51] When I say his name, what does that bring up for you?
[8:54] Well, he was great.
[8:55] He was the most handsome person.
[8:58] He was a really smart guy, a really, really smart guy.
[9:02] He had everything.
[9:04] But at a certain age, he started drinking a little bit, a little more, a little more.
[9:08] And ultimately, it was a big problem.
[9:09] And he'd say, don't ever, ever drink.
[9:12] And don't ever, and I'll tell you what, I never, I have never had a glass of alcohol.
[9:16] Never?
[9:16] I have other problems, okay.
[9:18] What are they?
[9:19] Get specific.
[9:20] I don't want to talk to you about that.
[9:21] That I can't talk about.
[9:22] That would be too good.
[9:23] You've been divorced twice.
[9:25] Yes.
[9:25] Did you learn something about relationships, about love, about yourself?
[9:30] Well, you have to put more into it.
[9:31] I put so much into my business that I didn't put enough into the relationship.
[9:36] And I see that.
[9:37] And I've learned that.
[9:38] I mean, I have learned that.
[9:39] Sometimes there's nothing you can do about that because that's the way you are.
[9:42] I mean, if somebody told you that you have to ease up, you can only work half the number
[9:46] of hours that you're working, I don't know if you'd be able to do that.
[9:50] I'd give it a try.
[9:51] No, but even if they said you'd have an even better relationship with your husband,
[9:54] I hear it's just great.
[9:55] But, you know, I mean, I don't know that you'd be able to do that.
[9:58] Has anyone ever hurt you emotionally?
[10:00] Well, I think the big thing would be maybe the death of my brother.
[10:07] That was, you know, the hardest thing for me to take.
[10:10] That was very tough because it's, you know, unnatural.
[10:13] And he saw a certain potential in me.
[10:14] And he would say, don't ever have a drink.
[10:17] Now, I don't carry it that far with people.
[10:19] I don't, I never had a drink.
[10:20] But, you know, people can have a drink and they can do socially.
[10:23] But, you know, that can lead.
[10:25] You tell me if I'm wrong.
[10:25] I feel like you're trying to get out of bounds on the emotional question to the subject of alcoholism, which we discussed.
[10:34] Has it happened that somebody has done something to you, you know, not a death in the family, but has done something to you to wound you?
[10:41] Well, you know, I don't know.
[10:44] I can say this.
[10:45] It would be something I could certainly think about and, you know, come back with.
[10:50] It's all right.
[10:51] No, it's okay.
[10:51] But I will say this.
[10:54] When I'm wounded, I go after people hard, okay?
[10:59] And I try and unwound myself.
[11:03] Most kids between the ages of 6 and 16 have been bullied at some point in their lives.
[11:08] Were you ever bullied?
[11:09] No, I wasn't.
[11:10] But I have seen bullying.
[11:12] And bullying doesn't have to just be as a child.
[11:14] I mean, I know people are bullied when they're 55 years old.
[11:17] It can happen when you're 45.
[11:18] It's, you know, it happens, right?
[11:20] But you've got to get over it.
[11:22] You've got to fight back, do whatever you have to do.
[11:25] Let me ask you about that.
[11:26] Because most American parents try to raise their kids to not bully, to not name call, to not tease, not taunt.
[11:33] How can they effectively bring that message when the frontrunner for the Republican nomination does all of those things?
[11:41] Well, I do it really, you know, I've been saying during this whole campaign that I'm a counterpuncher.
[11:47] You understand that.
[11:49] I'm responding.
[11:50] Now, I then respond times maybe 10.
[11:53] I don't know.
[11:53] I mean, I respond pretty strongly.
[11:55] But in just about all cases, I've been responding to what they did to me.
[12:00] So it's not a one-way street.
[12:03] Let's talk about us.
[12:04] Okay.
[12:05] I asked you a tough question about women.
[12:09] Bimbo?
[12:09] Over your life, Megan, you've been called a lot worse.
[12:12] Now, if you could go back and wave a magic wand and have been born with a female body, would you do that?
[12:19] Let's talk about us.
[12:22] Okay.
[12:24] We were always friendly.
[12:25] Right.
[12:26] Good relationship.
[12:26] And then came the August 6, 2015 debate.
[12:30] And I asked you a tough question about women using only the words that you had used.
[12:36] I thought it was a fair question.
[12:38] Why didn't you?
[12:40] I thought it was unfair.
[12:42] I thought, first of all, I didn't think it was really a question.
[12:44] I thought it was more of a statement.
[12:45] That's the first question that I've ever been asked during a debate.
[12:49] And I've never debated before.
[12:50] I mean, my whole life is a debate.
[12:51] But I've never actually debated before.
[12:53] And I'm saying to myself, man, what a question.
[12:55] And then, of course, then you have Brett doing his thing.
[12:58] So I'm saying to myself, I've got two hours of this.
[13:01] I don't really blame you because you're doing your thing.
[13:04] But from my standpoint, I don't have to like it.
[13:07] Afterward, you said you didn't feel that the moderators had been nice.
[13:11] But do you think it's the journalist's role to be nice to presidential candidates at a debate?
[13:16] No, fair.
[13:17] I don't care if they're nice.
[13:18] Do you use the word nice?
[13:20] Well, okay.
[13:21] No, I don't think so.
[13:23] I mean, I might have said they weren't nice, but that doesn't mean they have to be nice.
[13:26] I mean, I've known many...
[13:27] You know, it's not a cocktail party.
[13:28] No, no.
[13:29] I tell you what, in a certain way, what you did might have been a favor because I felt
[13:33] so good about having gotten through...
[13:35] I said, if I can get through this debate with those questions, you can get through anything.
[13:39] You seem to stay angry for months.
[13:42] Yeah.
[13:43] Was that real or was that strategy?
[13:46] Well, I'm a real person.
[13:48] I don't say, oh, gee, I'm angry tonight, but tomorrow you're my best friend.
[13:51] See, I do have a theory that, you know, when somebody does it...
[13:54] And this could happen again with us.
[13:55] I mean, it could be even doing this particular interview.
[13:59] I have great respect for you that you were able to call me and say, let's get together
[14:03] and let's talk.
[14:03] To me, I would not have done that.
[14:06] I don't say that as a positive.
[14:09] I think it's a negative for me.
[14:10] And you walk into Trump Tower, we didn't have, like, on a neutral site or over at Fox or something.
[14:15] That would be a whole different thing.
[14:17] And I wouldn't have done it.
[14:18] I think the doormen are still recovering.
[14:20] I think the whole building's recovering.
[14:21] People are going, like, this can't be possible, right?
[14:25] And this is the first you and I have ever discussed what happened between us over the past nine months
[14:29] because you and I did not talk about that.
[14:30] We didn't discuss it.
[14:31] No, we didn't discuss it.
[14:32] So when you look back on the past nine months from that first debate to now, any regrets?
[14:40] Absolutely, I have regrets.
[14:41] I don't think I want to discuss what the regrets are.
[14:43] But absolutely, I could have done certain things differently.
[14:47] I could have maybe used different language in a couple of instances.
[14:51] But overall, I have to be very happy with the outcome.
[14:54] And I think if I didn't conduct myself in the way I've done it, I don't think I would have been successful, actually.
[15:02] If I were soft, if I were, you know, presidential, okay, presidential.
[15:07] In a way, it's a bad word because there's nothing wrong with being presidential.
[15:10] But if I would not have fought back the way I fought back, I don't think I would have been successful.
[15:16] You're no longer just Donald Trump businessman or Donald Trump host of Celebrity Apprentice.
[15:21] Now, you're steps away from the presidency.
[15:27] Have you given any thought in this position to the power that your messaging has on the lives of the people you target
[15:35] and on the millions of people who take their cue from you?
[15:39] I have. I have.
[15:41] And I see suffering.
[15:43] I mean, I see tremendous suffering, and I understand it.
[15:45] I have a very big heart.
[15:46] A lot of people don't understand that, but people that know me do.
[15:49] And we have to take care of our country.
[15:52] And I do feel America first.
[15:54] I mean, America has been fourth and fifth and ninth.
[15:57] But you know what I'm saying.
[15:58] When Donald Trump targets somebody and says, this person is bad, that person is bad,
[16:05] it creates a firestorm in those people's lives.
[16:07] And many of these people are so-called civilians who haven't put themselves out there as public figures.
[16:11] But it's in response to something that they did.
[16:15] But you are so powerful.
[16:17] You are so powerful now.
[16:18] I don't view myself as that.
[16:19] I mean, I view myself as a person that, like everybody else, is fighting for survival.
[16:25] That's all I view myself as.
[16:26] And I really view myself now as somewhat of a messenger.
[16:30] You know, this is a massive thing that's going on.
[16:33] These are millions and millions of people that have been disenfranchised from this country.
[16:37] I was in front of a group the other day, at least 25,000 people.
[16:41] The place was going crazy.
[16:44] And I said, I'm like the messenger.
[16:46] It's true.
[16:47] But they're listening to you.
[16:49] And they're taking their cue from you.
[16:52] So that's the question is whether now so close to the Oval Office,
[16:57] whether you will take that responsibility seriously and change your tone to try to be more unifying and less divisive.
[17:06] I do take it very seriously.
[17:07] And I understand what's going on.
[17:09] And when I see the fervor, when I see 25,000 people that have seats and not one person during an hour speech will sit down.
[17:16] I say, sit down, everybody.
[17:18] Sit down.
[17:18] And they don't sit down.
[17:19] They refuse to sit down.
[17:20] I mean, that's a great compliment.
[17:22] But I do understand the power of the message.
[17:24] There's no question about it.
[17:26] I want to talk for a minute about the tweeting.
[17:28] Okay.
[17:28] Set the scene for me because I know where I was when I was on the receiving end of a lot of those tweets.
[17:33] But I have always wondered where you were.
[17:36] I'm picturing, like, a crushed velvet smoking jacket, you know, shiz lounge, slippers.
[17:41] Maybe not as fancy as that.
[17:43] Maybe probably a lot less.
[17:44] Walk us through it.
[17:44] You said it's you if it's past 7 in the evening.
[17:47] This weekend, I picked up 114,000 people.
[17:49] Well, what do you do?
[17:50] Do you pick up your iPhone and actually tweet yourself?
[17:52] Usually, after 7 or 8 o'clock, I'll do it myself.
[17:54] But during the day, if I'm in the office, I have a number of people that I'll just call out a tweet to.
[18:00] It's always my writing.
[18:01] You call out exclamation point.
[18:03] I do.
[18:03] I'd say exclamation point.
[18:05] That's sad.
[18:05] You know me well.
[18:06] You know me well.
[18:07] No, I'll say exclamation point.
[18:08] I'm familiar.
[18:09] So they'll type it out for me real fast.
[18:11] Bring it in.
[18:11] I'll be in a meeting.
[18:13] Bump.
[18:13] Put an exclamation point here, and I'll send it in.
[18:15] So I don't do the physical.
[18:17] Now, after like 7 or 8 o'clock, if I'm home, I'll do it myself.
[18:23] And I have fans, you probably learned, and I didn't do this for this reason,
[18:27] but when you and I were having our little difficulty,
[18:29] you probably had some pretty nasty tweets sent your way.
[18:32] I don't want to say, but I've heard that.
[18:35] I don't want that to happen, but I have fans.
[18:37] They really love.
[18:39] We have an unbelievable bond.
[18:41] We have an unbelievable relationship.
[18:41] You retweet some of those.
[18:43] It's not just the fans.
[18:44] Yeah, but not the more nasty ones.
[18:46] You would be amazed at the ones I don't retweet.
[18:48] Bimbo?
[18:50] Well, there was a retweet.
[18:52] Yeah.
[18:52] Did I say that?
[18:53] Many times.
[18:54] Ooh, okay.
[18:56] Excuse me.
[18:58] What do you think with, I mean...
[19:01] Not the most horrible thing, you know, again, politically, not the most...
[19:04] Over your life, Megan, you've been called a lot worse.
[19:07] Is that right?
[19:08] Wouldn't you say?
[19:08] You know, you've had a life that's not been that easy.
[19:11] It's not about me.
[19:12] It's not about me.
[19:13] It's about the messaging to young girls and to other women.
[19:17] It's a certain amount of fighting back.
[19:19] You know, it's a modern-day form of fighting back.
[19:21] I mean, it really is.
[19:22] But, um...
[19:23] You're going to stop that as president?
[19:25] Well, I'm going to stop it about you now, because I think I like our relationship right
[19:30] now, so I'm certainly not going to do it with you.
[19:32] Yeah, I think so.
[19:33] Now you have my cell phone number.
[19:34] I will say this.
[19:34] That is actually much more efficient.
[19:36] You gave me your cell phone number.
[19:37] And you promised you would not use it for evil.
[19:38] I don't know.
[19:39] I promise.
[19:39] I promise.
[19:40] You'll never see that.
[19:41] You'll never see that.
[19:42] If you don't become president, will this all have been for nothing, or will you have changed
[19:49] America?
[19:51] So, I got a call from a great writer who said to me, congratulations.
[19:56] I said, congratulations on what?
[19:58] He said, what you have done has never been done before.
[20:01] I said, what have I done?
[20:02] He said, they talked about different things.
[20:04] And I said, well, unless I win, I can't do the changes.
[20:08] I can't make America great again.
[20:09] I can't lower taxes and make our military strong and get along with other nations, frankly,
[20:15] that we don't get along with right now, but do better with them, you know, so they're
[20:18] not ripping us off like they all are.
[20:21] But I said, unless I win, I can't do that.
[20:23] He said, no, no, you're wrong.
[20:24] What you have done has never been done before, and it'll go down in history.
[20:29] And I appreciate, and I don't want to really talk about it, because in case it doesn't
[20:32] work out, I guess I'd rather have that narrative.
[20:34] But I will say this, if I don't go all the way, and if I don't win, I will consider
[20:39] it to be a total and complete waste of time, energy, and money.
[20:45] Mr. Trump, thank you very much.
[20:48] Thank you very much.
[20:48] It's been fascinating.
[20:49] Thank you very much.
[20:50] I appreciate it.
[20:50] Thanks, Megan.
[20:51] So when you told your mother that you identified as female, what was her reaction?
[20:56] The first thing my mother said was, but you have such big hands and feet.
[20:59] You would think if she was going to object to a body part, she would have chosen something
[21:02] other than the hands and the feet.
[21:03] And later in the show, more Donald Trump with a stunning admission.
[21:07] I knew it.
[21:11] Let's have some fun.
[21:12] Go ahead.
[21:12] Okay.
[21:13] I want to ask you rapid fire questions about Donald Trump.
[21:16] Number one, favorite movie?
[21:19] Citizen Kane.
[21:20] Favorite book?
[21:20] Other than the Bible or the art of the deal?
[21:25] All Quiet on the Western Front.
[21:27] What was the last book you read?
[21:28] Do you get any time to read?
[21:29] It's so long because now I read passages, I read areas, I'll read chapters.
[21:35] I just, I don't have the time.
[21:37] You know, when was the last time I watched a baseball game?
[21:40] I'm watching you all the time, okay?
[21:42] I knew it.
[21:43] I'm watching O'Reilly all the time.
[21:45] I'm watching Hannity.
[21:46] Be honest.
[21:46] I'm watching.
[21:47] You didn't really boycott.
[21:50] A little bit.
[21:51] Not as much as I want people to play.
[21:54] But I don't have the time.
[21:55] I would love to sit down and read a book, but I just don't have the time anymore.
[21:58] Well, in addition to The Kelly File, I have been working on a project.
[22:03] A book which I'm unveiling right now.
[22:06] It's called Settle for More, My Life Motto, ever since I was an unhappy lawyer years ago.
[22:12] The book shows how I did just that, with some tears and laughs along the way.
[22:17] And yes, for the first time, I will speak openly about my year with Donald Trump.
[22:22] You can pre-order it now wherever books are sold.
[22:25] It hits stores November 15th.
[22:27] My thanks to Donald Trump, Laverne Cox, Robert Shapiro, and Michael Douglas for sitting
[22:33] down with me on my first special.
[22:35] And thank you all for watching.
[22:36] Good night.
[22:38] Is it even tougher when you're with Catherine?
[22:41] Then it's the double.
[22:42] I mean, a little bit.
[22:43] But I mean, that's a high-quality problem.
[22:46] What?
[22:50] This beer.
[22:54] You are a part of this beer, my friend.
[22:57] It's great.
[22:58] Watch that one.
[23:06] Yes, yes.
[23:07] It's good to hear you talk about, you know, your element.
