  • Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:00:17.674 --> 00:00:19.342
  • I'm erick stakelbeck.
  • 00:00:19.342 --> 00:00:20.477
  • And we just lived through one of the greatest injustices
  • 00:00:20.477 --> 00:00:25.181
  • In american history.
  • 00:00:25.181 --> 00:00:26.850
  • An innocent man was indicted four times on bogus charges.
  • 00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:32.122
  • Arrested and dragged before kangaroo
  • 00:00:32.122 --> 00:00:35.058
  • Courts in four separate jurisdictions.
  • 00:00:35.058 --> 00:00:38.328
  • At the same time, the federal government
  • 00:00:38.328 --> 00:00:40.463
  • Targeted him obsessively, even raiding his home again.
  • 00:00:40.463 --> 00:00:45.301
  • This man committed no crimes.
  • 00:00:45.301 --> 00:00:48.138
  • And yet, the mainstream media spent years whipping up
  • 00:00:48.138 --> 00:00:51.774
  • A frenzy against him, comparing him to hitler
  • 00:00:51.774 --> 00:00:55.411
  • And accusing him of colluding with america's enemies.
  • 00:00:55.411 --> 00:00:59.015
  • This nonstop, around the clock incitement
  • 00:00:59.015 --> 00:01:02.385
  • Ultimately resulted
  • 00:01:02.385 --> 00:01:03.786
  • In two assassination attempts on his life.
  • 00:01:03.786 --> 00:01:07.056
  • Folks, we have never seen anything like
  • 00:01:07.056 --> 00:01:08.958
  • It in american history.
  • 00:01:08.958 --> 00:01:10.527
  • It was vicious and unrelenting.
  • 00:01:10.527 --> 00:01:13.630
  • Yet through it all, donald j.
  • 00:01:13.630 --> 00:01:15.798
  • Trump is still standing
  • 00:01:15.798 --> 00:01:17.834
  • Back in the oval office and with a mandate
  • 00:01:17.834 --> 00:01:20.637
  • To return america to prosperity and common sense.
  • 00:01:20.637 --> 00:01:24.440
  • But getting to
  • 00:01:24.774 --> 00:01:25.909
  • This point of vindication was a monumental struggle.
  • 00:01:25.909 --> 00:01:29.812
  • And no one knows that better than the president's son, eric,
  • 00:01:29.812 --> 00:01:33.316
  • Along with the rest of the trump family.
  • 00:01:33.316 --> 00:01:35.418
  • He was also targeted by the deep state onslaught
  • 00:01:35.418 --> 00:01:39.122
  • Against his father.
  • 00:01:39.122 --> 00:01:40.523
  • It's a cautionary tale for every american.
  • 00:01:40.523 --> 00:01:43.593
  • And eric shares the inside story in his new book, under siege
  • 00:01:43.593 --> 00:01:47.931

  • 00:01:51.868 --> 00:01:55.605
  • I sat down with eric recently for an exclusive interview
  • 00:01:55.605 --> 00:01:58.641
  • To discuss the book and the battles.
  • 00:01:58.641 --> 00:02:01.978
  • Take a look.
  • 00:02:01.978 --> 00:02:03.379
  • Eric trump, great to have you with us once again.
  • 00:02:04.380 --> 00:02:06.583
  • Hey, the book under siege.
  • 00:02:06.583 --> 00:02:08.084
  • Eric, i think you capture in it in a very important way.
  • 00:02:08.084 --> 00:02:11.454
  • We're not just locked in a political struggle.
  • 00:02:11.454 --> 00:02:13.990
  • This is a battle versus if good versus evil.
  • 00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:17.227
  • Yeah.
  • 00:02:17.227 --> 00:02:18.161
  • And i think what your family has struggled
  • 00:02:18.161 --> 00:02:19.495
  • Through, suffer through and come out on the other side.
  • 00:02:19.495 --> 00:02:21.331
  • By the way, what you write about is an example of that.
  • 00:02:21.331 --> 00:02:24.167
  • Talk more about that.
  • 00:02:24.167 --> 00:02:25.535
  • The stakes of the battle we're locked in right now,
  • 00:02:25.535 --> 00:02:29.038
  • And why it's so important
  • 00:02:29.038 --> 00:02:30.139
  • That your father is in office as we wage this fight.
  • 00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:33.710
  • We're losing this country.
  • 00:02:34.277 --> 00:02:36.012
  • We're losing family in this country.
  • 00:02:36.012 --> 00:02:37.146
  • We're losing religion in this country.
  • 00:02:37.146 --> 00:02:38.414
  • We're losing god in this country.
  • 00:02:38.414 --> 00:02:39.582
  • We're losing our constitution.
  • 00:02:39.582 --> 00:02:40.817
  • Certainly our first amendment, definitely our second amendment.
  • 00:02:40.817 --> 00:02:44.520
  • The way of life. americans was under siege.
  • 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.789
  • Our country was under siege.
  • 00:02:47.390 --> 00:02:48.691
  • Our family was under siege. and,
  • 00:02:48.691 --> 00:02:51.127
  • We were directly under siege
  • 00:02:51.127 --> 00:02:52.195
  • Because i think we were leading those,
  • 00:02:52.195 --> 00:02:53.463
  • You know, the greatest political movement
  • 00:02:53.463 --> 00:02:54.797
  • Of all time, certainly led by my father.
  • 00:02:54.797 --> 00:02:56.532
  • But we were all on that stage with them every single day.
  • 00:02:56.532 --> 00:02:59.602
  • And they want to do everything they could to destroy us.
  • 00:02:59.602 --> 00:03:01.404
  • They want to do everything they could to take us down.
  • 00:03:01.404 --> 00:03:03.573
  • I became the most spirited person in american history.
  • 00:03:03.573 --> 00:03:05.908
  • 112 subpoenas.
  • 00:03:05.908 --> 00:03:07.176
  • They couldn't get to my father.
  • 00:03:07.176 --> 00:03:08.411
  • He was in the white house with executive branch protections.
  • 00:03:08.411 --> 00:03:11.481
  • So guess who they come after?
  • 00:03:12.115 --> 00:03:13.049
  • The guy running the company.
  • 00:03:13.049 --> 00:03:14.617
  • You know, the guy running his entire legacy,
  • 00:03:14.617 --> 00:03:16.252
  • Every building that he had ever built
  • 00:03:16.252 --> 00:03:17.520
  • With the trump name on it, they wanted them dismantled.
  • 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.223
  • They wanted the name off of them.
  • 00:03:20.223 --> 00:03:21.257
  • They wanted us bankrupt,
  • 00:03:21.257 --> 00:03:22.925
  • And they would go to every
  • 00:03:22.925 --> 00:03:23.926
  • Crooked judge in every far blue jurisdiction.
  • 00:03:23.926 --> 00:03:27.497
  • My father got charged with 91 felonies
  • 00:03:27.497 --> 00:03:29.132
  • For doing absolutely nothing wrong.
  • 00:03:29.132 --> 00:03:30.333
  • They raided his house.
  • 00:03:30.333 --> 00:03:31.434
  • They took him off the ballots of colorado and maine.
  • 00:03:31.434 --> 00:03:34.203
  • They, you know, they impeached him twice.
  • 00:03:34.203 --> 00:03:37.307
  • A dirty dossiers, made up dossiers that they wrote.
  • 00:03:37.307 --> 00:03:40.310
  • Russia hoax.
  • 00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:41.411
  • I was the guy that got the call, you know, from the fbi
  • 00:03:41.411 --> 00:03:43.946
  • And from the washington post, the new york times.
  • 00:03:43.946 --> 00:03:45.948
  • I hear you have secret service in the basement of trump tower
  • 00:03:45.948 --> 00:03:48.551
  • Communicating directly with the kremlin.
  • 00:03:48.551 --> 00:03:50.253
  • I go, excuse me.
  • 00:03:50.253 --> 00:03:52.455
  • I mean, i hear a lot of wild crap like,
  • 00:03:52.455 --> 00:03:53.990
  • This is like the wildest of wild.
  • 00:03:53.990 --> 00:03:55.858
  • And this began, i mean, from the moment
  • 00:03:55.858 --> 00:03:57.627
  • Your father was inaugurated
  • 00:03:57.627 --> 00:03:58.995
  • In january 2017, it began the onslaught.
  • 00:03:58.995 --> 00:04:01.464
  • And the mainstream media
  • 00:04:01.464 --> 00:04:02.999
  • Right along with them well, actually
  • 00:04:02.999 --> 00:04:04.367
  • Began exactly 12 minutes after he was inaugurated,
  • 00:04:04.367 --> 00:04:06.669
  • Because washington post an article.
  • 00:04:06.669 --> 00:04:08.304
  • This is when the impeachment of donald trump begins.
  • 00:04:08.304 --> 00:04:10.973
  • 12 12 minutes after democracy dies in darkness.
  • 00:04:10.973 --> 00:04:13.910
  • The washington post. every year, democracy dies in darkness,
  • 00:04:13.910 --> 00:04:16.379
  • Their wonderful slogan.
  • 00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:17.914
  • And, they were the most corrupt people.
  • 00:04:17.914 --> 00:04:20.783
  • They knew exactly what they wanted to do.
  • 00:04:20.783 --> 00:04:22.752
  • They wanted to him to take him off.
  • 00:04:22.752 --> 00:04:24.387
  • They want to distract him. they want to bankrupt him.
  • 00:04:24.387 --> 00:04:26.255
  • They want to ruin his credibility.
  • 00:04:26.255 --> 00:04:27.490
  • They wanted to ruin his family.
  • 00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:28.725
  • They want to ruin his his marriage.
  • 00:04:28.725 --> 00:04:31.127
  • They wanted to slander him, which they did.
  • 00:04:31.127 --> 00:04:33.129
  • Hence the the dossier.
  • 00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:34.697
  • It was personal. they spied on his campaign.
  • 00:04:34.697 --> 00:04:37.633
  • They raided our homes.
  • 00:04:37.633 --> 00:04:39.869
  • They indicted him over and over.
  • 00:04:39.869 --> 00:04:42.372
  • They took mug shots.
  • 00:04:42.372 --> 00:04:43.473
  • Donald trump didn't need a mug shot.
  • 00:04:43.473 --> 00:04:45.475
  • Well, why would they take a mug shot
  • 00:04:45.475 --> 00:04:46.809
  • Of pure embarrassment factor?
  • 00:04:46.809 --> 00:04:48.044
  • Now, the great thing is, we turned all of this round.
  • 00:04:48.044 --> 00:04:49.712
  • The mug shot was single handedly the greatest fundraising,
  • 00:04:49.712 --> 00:04:52.982
  • You know, thing that's ever happened.
  • 00:04:52.982 --> 00:04:55.118
  • It's iconic.
  • 00:04:55.118 --> 00:04:56.052
  • We took that mug shot within one second.
  • 00:04:56.052 --> 00:04:57.720
  • It was on every single t-shirt
  • 00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:58.921
  • In the country,
  • 00:04:58.921 --> 00:04:59.856
  • And we raised tens of millions of dollars,
  • 00:04:59.856 --> 00:05:01.057
  • Which allowed us to be more competitive in these states.
  • 00:05:01.057 --> 00:05:03.493
  • And, you know, and ultimately, we won, right?
  • 00:05:03.493 --> 00:05:05.628
  • I mean,
  • 00:05:05.628 --> 00:05:06.162
  • And ultimately we won,
  • 00:05:06.162 --> 00:05:07.029
  • And we won by one of the greatest
  • 00:05:07.029 --> 00:05:08.030
  • Political margins in the history of the world.
  • 00:05:08.030 --> 00:05:10.099
  • He did. and look at the pendulum.
  • 00:05:10.099 --> 00:05:11.734
  • Look how far it shifted.
  • 00:05:11.734 --> 00:05:13.202
  • Look at day 18 months ago.
  • 00:05:13.202 --> 00:05:15.738
  • Look at the indoctrination on the college campuses.
  • 00:05:15.738 --> 00:05:17.974
  • All of it's dead,
  • 00:05:17.974 --> 00:05:19.409
  • You know, look at the military who couldn't recruit anybody
  • 00:05:19.409 --> 00:05:21.878
  • Because no one wanted to go in.
  • 00:05:21.878 --> 00:05:23.212
  • And now all of a sudden it's, you know,
  • 00:05:23.212 --> 00:05:24.781
  • They're doing too many applications
  • 00:05:24.781 --> 00:05:26.349
  • For for the actual spots they have available.
  • 00:05:26.349 --> 00:05:28.418
  • It's this is just an eight months
  • 00:05:28.418 --> 00:05:30.453
  • In eight
  • 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:31.954
  • Months when i think it remains, we're not getting ripped off
  • 00:05:31.954 --> 00:05:33.189
  • By every country around the world.
  • 00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:34.791
  • Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon.
  • 00:05:34.791 --> 00:05:36.526
  • They're not going to, you know, blow the hell out of israel.
  • 00:05:36.526 --> 00:05:39.862
  • You know, the world's safe.
  • 00:05:39.862 --> 00:05:41.130
  • I can't tell you how many wars
  • 00:05:41.130 --> 00:05:42.265
  • That the guy has already ended selling.
  • 00:05:42.265 --> 00:05:44.434
  • At least at least,
  • 00:05:44.434 --> 00:05:46.903
  • I mean, think about how many lives that is around the world.
  • 00:05:46.903 --> 00:05:49.906
  • Look at the amount of money tariffs is bringing in.
  • 00:05:49.906 --> 00:05:52.942
  • You know, plants are being built all over the united states.
  • 00:05:52.942 --> 00:05:55.178
  • You know, manufacturing is coming back when,
  • 00:05:55.178 --> 00:05:57.780
  • You know, under barack obama, you know,
  • 00:05:57.780 --> 00:05:59.715
  • You remember the famous quote, you know,
  • 00:05:59.715 --> 00:06:01.384
  • You think you could just swish manufacturing back.
  • 00:06:01.384 --> 00:06:03.586
  • You think it's just going to come back.
  • 00:06:03.586 --> 00:06:04.687
  • And manufacturers coming back.
  • 00:06:04.687 --> 00:06:06.622
  • And you know, taxes have been cut
  • 00:06:06.622 --> 00:06:08.524
  • And regulations being cut and american companies
  • 00:06:08.524 --> 00:06:11.527
  • Can flourish and energy costs are going down quickly.
  • 00:06:11.527 --> 00:06:16.032
  • And we're drilling
  • 00:06:16.032 --> 00:06:17.099
  • And and inflation is back to virtually nothing.
  • 00:06:17.099 --> 00:06:20.803
  • You know, off of the 10% that you were seeing
  • 00:06:20.803 --> 00:06:23.372
  • Every single year under under joe biden.
  • 00:06:23.372 --> 00:06:25.575
  • It's,
  • 00:06:25.575 --> 00:06:26.509
  • It's amazing the transformational change
  • 00:06:26.509 --> 00:06:27.810
  • We've seen in such a short period of time.
  • 00:06:27.810 --> 00:06:29.278
  • Eric, i really think it's a counterrevolution, in a sense,
  • 00:06:29.278 --> 00:06:33.082
  • Because the left was ascendant and this is all collapsed
  • 00:06:33.082 --> 00:06:36.152
  • In a wonderful way in the past eight, nine months alone.
  • 00:06:36.152 --> 00:06:39.455
  • Hey, let's rewind to 2015.
  • 00:06:39.455 --> 00:06:42.458
  • We say the onslaught against your father started.
  • 00:06:42.458 --> 00:06:44.460
  • Okay, january 2017.
  • 00:06:44.460 --> 00:06:45.795
  • But really, when we rewind,
  • 00:06:45.795 --> 00:06:47.830
  • When he came down that escalator in new york
  • 00:06:47.830 --> 00:06:50.333
  • Declared his candidacy june 2015,
  • 00:06:50.333 --> 00:06:52.835
  • The onslaught really began.
  • 00:06:52.835 --> 00:06:54.303
  • Eric, you were in the eye of the storm.
  • 00:06:54.303 --> 00:06:55.705
  • 33 years old at the time,
  • 00:06:55.705 --> 00:06:57.340
  • Took over the dealings of the trump organization.
  • 00:06:57.340 --> 00:07:00.309
  • Of course.
  • 00:07:00.309 --> 00:07:01.711
  • Talk about that experience, those early, early days,
  • 00:07:01.711 --> 00:07:05.815
  • And also how former friends all of a sudden weren't
  • 00:07:05.815 --> 00:07:10.253
  • So friendly anymore.
  • 00:07:10.253 --> 00:07:11.587
  • Yeah, well, nbc was a great example
  • 00:07:11.587 --> 00:07:14.056
  • Of former friends not being friendly.
  • 00:07:14.056 --> 00:07:15.191
  • I mean, we had my father had a number one show on nbc.
  • 00:07:15.191 --> 00:07:18.027
  • We were all on it. i was on it for seven seasons.
  • 00:07:18.027 --> 00:07:19.862
  • All the all the celebrity seasons.
  • 00:07:19.862 --> 00:07:22.198
  • Nbc loved him.
  • 00:07:22.198 --> 00:07:23.132
  • I mean, the nbc was practically bankrupt.
  • 00:07:23.132 --> 00:07:25.301
  • Cvs was killing them.
  • 00:07:25.301 --> 00:07:26.235
  • Cvs had the famous show survivor,
  • 00:07:26.235 --> 00:07:27.603
  • As everybody remembers.
  • 00:07:27.603 --> 00:07:28.471
  • And and i'll never forget them
  • 00:07:28.471 --> 00:07:30.006
  • Coming into my father's office and saying, listen,
  • 00:07:30.006 --> 00:07:31.407
  • We want to sign you for another three seasons.
  • 00:07:31.407 --> 00:07:33.009
  • And, i mean, the contract was had many zeroes on the, the,
  • 00:07:33.009 --> 00:07:36.078
  • The end of it. it was in the billions, right.
  • 00:07:36.078 --> 00:07:37.747
  • You know, overall,
  • 00:07:37.747 --> 00:07:38.581
  • He had a number one show, remember,
  • 00:07:38.581 --> 00:07:39.849
  • It was 2 or 3 hours on a sunday night.
  • 00:07:39.849 --> 00:07:42.151
  • You know, they were milking it for everything it was worth.
  • 00:07:42.151 --> 00:07:44.720
  • And you had a role in that show. you're keeping busy.
  • 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.989
  • And i remember he he finally tells the executives,
  • 00:07:46.989 --> 00:07:49.825
  • Sorry, guys, i'm not going to sign this contract.
  • 00:07:49.825 --> 00:07:51.327
  • I plan on doing something else.
  • 00:07:51.327 --> 00:07:53.229
  • I plan on doing something else, and it's not reality tv.
  • 00:07:53.229 --> 00:07:55.798
  • And he didn't tell them what it was,
  • 00:07:55.798 --> 00:07:57.033
  • But it was going to be the presidential run.
  • 00:07:57.033 --> 00:07:59.669
  • And nbc,
  • 00:07:59.936 --> 00:08:01.137
  • Who had been friends for 14 seasons, ten years
  • 00:08:01.137 --> 00:08:04.040
  • On, on, on tv, turned on him like he was a dog.
  • 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.243
  • Like they had never met him before.
  • 00:08:07.243 --> 00:08:08.678
  • Like he was a horrible person.
  • 00:08:08.678 --> 00:08:09.679
  • I mean, the very person who saved nbc, arguably
  • 00:08:09.679 --> 00:08:13.683
  • They turned on like that because he just happened
  • 00:08:13.683 --> 00:08:15.651
  • To have an hour in front of his political designation versus
  • 00:08:15.651 --> 00:08:19.422
  • The d, which had always been their team.
  • 00:08:19.422 --> 00:08:21.123
  • And i'll never forget when he called us
  • 00:08:21.123 --> 00:08:22.892
  • Up to his office to say that he was running.
  • 00:08:22.892 --> 00:08:24.360
  • And he goes, you know,
  • 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:25.194
  • Kids, we're going to figure out
  • 00:08:25.194 --> 00:08:26.162
  • Very quickly who real friends are.
  • 00:08:26.162 --> 00:08:27.630
  • And we did, we did.
  • 00:08:27.630 --> 00:08:29.599
  • I mean, instantly you became,
  • 00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:33.069
  • You know, divisive in the eyes of just because,
  • 00:08:33.069 --> 00:08:36.439
  • Again, you weren't necessarily political,
  • 00:08:36.439 --> 00:08:37.807
  • You know, affiliated with their political ideology.
  • 00:08:37.807 --> 00:08:41.978
  • It was an amazing time.
  • 00:08:42.478 --> 00:08:44.447
  • And, you know, never, never had
  • 00:08:43.512 --> 00:08:45.982
  • I think that pendulum could shift that quickly.
  • 00:08:45.982 --> 00:08:48.918
  • Ironically, never have i would have ever guessed
  • 00:08:48.918 --> 00:08:52.121
  • The pendulum could have shift as quickly as it has in the last,
  • 00:08:52.121 --> 00:08:55.291
  • You know, 12 to 18 months where,
  • 00:08:55.925 --> 00:08:58.027
  • Honestly, everything that was woke died.
  • 00:08:58.027 --> 00:09:00.963
  • Yeah.
  • 00:09:00.963 --> 00:09:01.631
  • And just across the board, you
  • 00:09:01.631 --> 00:09:03.733
  • You see all these companies dismantling their dei programs,
  • 00:09:03.733 --> 00:09:07.236
  • You see people going back into churches.
  • 00:09:07.236 --> 00:09:10.139
  • I mean, last weekend you couldn't even get
  • 00:09:10.139 --> 00:09:11.507
  • To a church in this country.
  • 00:09:11.507 --> 00:09:12.508
  • I mean, they were packed.
  • 00:09:12.508 --> 00:09:15.111
  • The message of family is back.
  • 00:09:15.111 --> 00:09:16.412
  • The message of god is back.
  • 00:09:16.412 --> 00:09:18.214
  • The message of america first is back.
  • 00:09:18.214 --> 00:09:20.983
  • You know, our our young kids are i have right
  • 00:09:20.983 --> 00:09:24.186
  • Who are going to be the voters the next five generations
  • 00:09:24.186 --> 00:09:26.422
  • Have firmly figured out who the other side is
  • 00:09:27.390 --> 00:09:30.660
  • And and the charlie kirk assassination only further,
  • 00:09:30.660 --> 00:09:34.296
  • You know, emphasized all of that. and,
  • 00:09:35.131 --> 00:09:38.167
  • It's been a hell of a ride.
  • 00:09:38.167 --> 00:09:39.268
  • You, it's been interesting and and fun and wild and,
  • 00:09:39.268 --> 00:09:43.439
  • You know, rather scary at times.
  • 00:09:44.073 --> 00:09:46.909
  • Folks, be sure to pick up the brand new book, under siege.
  • 00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:50.012
  • Eric trump is donating a portion of the book's proceeds
  • 00:09:50.012 --> 00:09:53.349
  • To turning point usa in honor of charlie kirk.
  • 00:09:53.349 --> 00:09:57.420
  • Coming up after the break,
  • 00:09:57.420 --> 00:09:58.354
  • Eric tells us about the all stars
  • 00:09:58.354 --> 00:10:00.523
  • Shaping president trump's cabinet, and he breaks down
  • 00:10:00.523 --> 00:10:03.626
  • The relentless lawfare that trying to silence his family.
  • 00:10:03.626 --> 00:10:07.496
  • That's next.
  • 00:10:07.830 --> 00:10:12.006
  • That's next.
  • 00:10:12.006 --> 00:10:16.137
  • This time around,
  • 00:10:16.571 --> 00:10:18.039
  • Second term for your father.
  • 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.076
  • He's got a team now.
  • 00:10:21.543 --> 00:10:22.877
  • I mean, this is an all star team for the ages.
  • 00:10:22.877 --> 00:10:25.780
  • Talk about that, eric.
  • 00:10:25.780 --> 00:10:26.881
  • How it's so different in this term
  • 00:10:26.881 --> 00:10:28.616
  • That he's got people around him
  • 00:10:28.616 --> 00:10:29.818
  • Who he knows he can really trust to the end.
  • 00:10:29.818 --> 00:10:33.088
  • They'll go to the mat with them regardless.
  • 00:10:33.088 --> 00:10:35.623
  • He had a beyond successful presidency in 2017.
  • 00:10:35.623 --> 00:10:40.729
  • But he i mean, his 611 time ever in washington dc.
  • 00:10:40.729 --> 00:10:43.798
  • You know anybody there.
  • 00:10:43.798 --> 00:10:44.766
  • And by the way, the ten times before
  • 00:10:44.766 --> 00:10:45.967
  • That was us building a hotel on pennsylvania avenue,
  • 00:10:45.967 --> 00:10:48.069
  • Either one that i spearheaded for, you know,
  • 00:10:48.069 --> 00:10:50.205
  • For years and years and years, i mean, this was not his.
  • 00:10:50.205 --> 00:10:52.240
  • He didn't know anybody in washington, and he got
  • 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.076
  • Who was, you know, what?
  • 00:10:55.610 --> 00:10:56.711
  • Senators were coming out endorsing him at the time.
  • 00:10:56.711 --> 00:10:58.747
  • No one like it was like
  • 00:10:58.747 --> 00:10:59.948
  • My father myself, don laura and like
  • 00:10:59.948 --> 00:11:02.817
  • And that was like about it out there actually fighting. right.
  • 00:11:02.817 --> 00:11:05.353
  • And and then obviously he had the american people
  • 00:11:05.353 --> 00:11:07.355
  • And the greatest, the greatest movement. and,
  • 00:11:07.355 --> 00:11:10.959
  • I remember how kind of painful that was in 2020
  • 00:11:11.893 --> 00:11:14.963
  • Because we just felt like we got ripped off
  • 00:11:14.963 --> 00:11:18.166
  • Every metric felt like we got ripped off.
  • 00:11:18.166 --> 00:11:20.869
  • You had a guy who campaigned from his basement.
  • 00:11:20.869 --> 00:11:22.737
  • They got 16 million more votes than barack obama.
  • 00:11:22.737 --> 00:11:25.173
  • Give me a damn break, right?
  • 00:11:25.173 --> 00:11:26.841
  • Like 81 million overall.
  • 00:11:26.841 --> 00:11:29.210
  • You know, and what they they use covid
  • 00:11:29.210 --> 00:11:30.979
  • And they use mail-in ballots and
  • 00:11:30.979 --> 00:11:32.781
  • And there were tremendous discrepancies.
  • 00:11:32.781 --> 00:11:34.949
  • And no one believes that.
  • 00:11:34.949 --> 00:11:35.650
  • I mean, i honestly people on the
  • 00:11:35.650 --> 00:11:36.918
  • On the left, you know, don't even believe it.
  • 00:11:36.918 --> 00:11:38.686
  • At the same time, you know, i always talk about,
  • 00:11:39.654 --> 00:11:41.389
  • You know, the the world of unintended consequences.
  • 00:11:41.389 --> 00:11:43.458
  • I think it was the greatest thing that ever happened to us,
  • 00:11:43.458 --> 00:11:45.160
  • You know, kind of reflecting back,
  • 00:11:45.160 --> 00:11:47.095
  • You know, you had this cool off period of four years
  • 00:11:47.095 --> 00:11:49.497
  • And he figured out who its true friends were,
  • 00:11:49.497 --> 00:11:51.266
  • Who the ones who never left him,
  • 00:11:51.266 --> 00:11:52.767
  • Who were the killers in politics.
  • 00:11:52.767 --> 00:11:54.435
  • He understood the system.
  • 00:11:54.435 --> 00:11:56.137
  • And he is the greatest cabinet.
  • 00:11:56.137 --> 00:11:58.573
  • There are no chokers.
  • 00:11:58.573 --> 00:11:59.841
  • There are no weak kneed people.
  • 00:11:59.841 --> 00:12:01.309
  • You don't have jeff sessions in there anymore.
  • 00:12:01.309 --> 00:12:03.111
  • You don't have,
  • 00:12:03.111 --> 00:12:04.179
  • You know, the rex tillerson like you have absolute
  • 00:12:04.179 --> 00:12:07.582
  • Killers in there
  • 00:12:07.982 --> 00:12:09.350
  • Who want to protect this country,
  • 00:12:09.350 --> 00:12:10.552
  • Who want to see the best for this country.
  • 00:12:10.552 --> 00:12:12.120
  • You know exactly where people stand.
  • 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:13.688
  • You know, the games that they play.
  • 00:12:13.688 --> 00:12:15.723
  • And, i mean, listen, if you would have had a second
  • 00:12:15.723 --> 00:12:18.393
  • Administration, you would have had,
  • 00:12:18.393 --> 00:12:20.328
  • You know, he would have had pence
  • 00:12:20.328 --> 00:12:21.396
  • Instead of jd would have had, you know, the vast
  • 00:12:21.396 --> 00:12:23.765
  • Majority of people, you would have had the same games.
  • 00:12:23.765 --> 00:12:26.968
  • Is that.
  • 00:12:27.235 --> 00:12:27.669
  • Yeah.
  • 00:12:27.669 --> 00:12:28.603
  • For this impeachment i think back for them.
  • 00:12:28.603 --> 00:12:30.405
  • Yeah. and and frankly wouldn't have had nonsense.
  • 00:12:30.405 --> 00:12:32.507
  • You wouldn't have had a63 majority on the supreme court.
  • 00:12:32.507 --> 00:12:34.542
  • You wouldn't have had the senate.
  • 00:12:34.542 --> 00:12:35.443
  • You wouldn't have had the house. right.
  • 00:12:35.443 --> 00:12:36.911
  • So now all of a sudden, we have the senate, house,
  • 00:12:36.911 --> 00:12:39.080
  • Supreme court and the executive branch with
  • 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.683
  • With a killer administration of of
  • 00:12:41.683 --> 00:12:44.919
  • And man, is it fun to watch.
  • 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:46.454
  • Yeah, eric,
  • 00:12:46.454 --> 00:12:47.388
  • You could say it's god's timing in the sense
  • 00:12:47.388 --> 00:12:49.424
  • I believe your father taking office
  • 00:12:49.424 --> 00:12:50.959
  • Once again in january 2025.
  • 00:12:50.959 --> 00:12:53.328
  • And we talk about god's hand.
  • 00:12:53.328 --> 00:12:54.996
  • I think we saw it in butler, pennsylvania.
  • 00:12:54.996 --> 00:12:57.165
  • Yeah.
  • 00:12:57.165 --> 00:12:58.233
  • Talk about where you were when you found out
  • 00:12:58.233 --> 00:13:01.169
  • And the immediate aftermath for your family.
  • 00:13:01.169 --> 00:13:03.171
  • Look, you've got a very tight knit family.
  • 00:13:03.171 --> 00:13:04.706
  • You talk about it in under siege,
  • 00:13:04.706 --> 00:13:06.808
  • But the butler draw you even closer together.
  • 00:13:06.808 --> 00:13:09.644
  • The aftermath.
  • 00:13:09.644 --> 00:13:10.578
  • The first of two assassination attempts.
  • 00:13:10.578 --> 00:13:13.281
  • Yeah. there's no question.
  • 00:13:13.281 --> 00:13:14.349
  • And it was just another example of god's hands off
  • 00:13:14.349 --> 00:13:17.552
  • Talking about that. i mean,
  • 00:13:17.552 --> 00:13:19.220
  • Listen, you know,
  • 00:13:19.654 --> 00:13:20.622
  • Beating hillary clinton at a, at a,
  • 00:13:20.622 --> 00:13:22.257
  • At a 5 to 1 financial deficit,
  • 00:13:22.257 --> 00:13:24.692
  • You know, against her, we race and we
  • 00:13:24.692 --> 00:13:26.327
  • We effectively fund a $300 million,
  • 00:13:26.327 --> 00:13:27.929
  • We raise a couple bucks, you know, in 2016.
  • 00:13:27.929 --> 00:13:31.399
  • And she raised 1.5 billion.
  • 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.068
  • If it hadn't been for god's hand,
  • 00:13:34.068 --> 00:13:35.270
  • You just wouldn't have won. right.
  • 00:13:35.270 --> 00:13:36.571
  • Well, let's just let's talk about like, the ultimate,
  • 00:13:36.571 --> 00:13:38.539
  • You know, i mean, we didn't know what a delegate was, right?
  • 00:13:38.539 --> 00:13:40.808
  • Like, we built hotels, we built skyscrapers,
  • 00:13:40.808 --> 00:13:43.011
  • You know, and and somehow we knocked her off.
  • 00:13:43.011 --> 00:13:46.381
  • Yeah.
  • 00:13:46.614 --> 00:13:47.815
  • Give me a break. right as they're spying on campaigns is.
  • 00:13:47.815 --> 00:13:49.117
  • Or she has 98% of the.
  • 00:13:49.117 --> 00:13:51.286
  • You know, then you cited butler again.
  • 00:13:51.286 --> 00:13:52.520
  • I mean, you see a perfect flag
  • 00:13:52.520 --> 00:13:53.855
  • Fold up like an angel right above his head.
  • 00:13:53.855 --> 00:13:55.356
  • And, you know, there's,
  • 00:13:55.356 --> 00:13:57.058
  • So many stories i can't even account right through,
  • 00:13:58.092 --> 00:14:00.128
  • Through that period of time.
  • 00:14:00.128 --> 00:14:01.129
  • But, yeah, there's no there's no question
  • 00:14:01.129 --> 00:14:02.730
  • That god has been part of this, this journey.
  • 00:14:02.730 --> 00:14:04.866
  • And again,
  • 00:14:04.866 --> 00:14:06.067
  • Sometimes the things in your, your life
  • 00:14:06.067 --> 00:14:07.468
  • That you think is, you know, are going to be the worst,
  • 00:14:07.468 --> 00:14:09.771
  • You know, most unthinkable turn out to actually be,
  • 00:14:09.771 --> 00:14:12.907
  • You know, the best.
  • 00:14:12.907 --> 00:14:14.008
  • Yeah.
  • 00:14:14.008 --> 00:14:14.909
  • And, and, and there's no question that
  • 00:14:14.909 --> 00:14:17.612
  • While we didn't feel that at the time,
  • 00:14:18.446 --> 00:14:21.382
  • And at the time, everybody was devastated
  • 00:14:21.382 --> 00:14:23.318
  • Because we felt like we got chipped
  • 00:14:23.318 --> 00:14:26.120
  • 2020 and having to sit out
  • 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:29.557
  • And the lawfare and the indictments,
  • 00:14:29.557 --> 00:14:31.159
  • Everything that i write about,
  • 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:31.993
  • In our case, the way they arrived,
  • 00:14:31.993 --> 00:14:33.962
  • First of all, they didn't break apart our family.
  • 00:14:33.962 --> 00:14:35.430
  • They didn't break our marriages,
  • 00:14:35.430 --> 00:14:36.698
  • They didn't break apart the siblings.
  • 00:14:36.698 --> 00:14:37.999
  • They didn't break our company.
  • 00:14:37.999 --> 00:14:39.834
  • Right?
  • 00:14:39.834 --> 00:14:40.635
  • They didn't strip the name of our
  • 00:14:40.635 --> 00:14:41.703
  • Our buildings off of every skyline around the world.
  • 00:14:41.703 --> 00:14:44.605
  • Letitia james failed.
  • 00:14:44.605 --> 00:14:46.040
  • Alvin bragg failed.
  • 00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:47.875
  • You know, the commies, the jack smiths,
  • 00:14:47.875 --> 00:14:50.611
  • They all failed,
  • 00:14:50.611 --> 00:14:52.580
  • You know, and he won the most consequential victory, probably
  • 00:14:52.580 --> 00:14:56.317
  • In american political history against all odds,
  • 00:14:56.317 --> 00:14:59.387
  • The mainstream media is dead.
  • 00:14:59.387 --> 00:15:02.390
  • Independent voice has won the day god is back.
  • 00:15:02.390 --> 00:15:06.494
  • You know,
  • 00:15:06.794 --> 00:15:08.029
  • You know, the youth generation's aren't being indoctrinated.
  • 00:15:08.029 --> 00:15:11.733
  • You know, half of these guys
  • 00:15:12.333 --> 00:15:13.434
  • Are going to jail in some way, shape or form, right?
  • 00:15:13.434 --> 00:15:16.237
  • They're being exposed for exactly who they are.
  • 00:15:16.237 --> 00:15:19.574
  • You finally have competent leadership in washington, dc.
  • 00:15:19.574 --> 00:15:21.809
  • You actually have people going into the oval office, you know,
  • 00:15:21.809 --> 00:15:24.178
  • And then under biden, even to the last days,
  • 00:15:24.178 --> 00:15:27.248
  • I mean, people are still doing the work from home program,
  • 00:15:27.248 --> 00:15:29.817
  • You know, i mean, the white house is dark.
  • 00:15:29.817 --> 00:15:31.285
  • The computers were off.
  • 00:15:31.285 --> 00:15:32.887
  • You know, this united states of america,
  • 00:15:32.887 --> 00:15:34.155
  • The leader of the free world, you would think people
  • 00:15:34.155 --> 00:15:35.690
  • Would be working 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
  • 00:15:35.690 --> 00:15:37.859
  • You know, it weren't, but,
  • 00:15:37.859 --> 00:15:40.561
  • Common sense prevailed.
  • 00:15:40.561 --> 00:15:41.629
  • And america is gonna be a better country for.
  • 00:15:41.629 --> 00:15:45.266
  • Up next, eric trump reveals how charlie kirk
  • 00:15:45.266 --> 00:15:47.869
  • Impacted his life and galvanized a generation.
  • 00:15:47.869 --> 00:15:51.406
  • Stick around.
  • 00:15:51.773 --> 00:15:55.007
  • Stick around.
  • 00:15:55.007 --> 00:15:58.523
  • Looking back,
  • 00:15:58.890 --> 00:16:00.091
  • Look, your dad wrote the art of the deal the 1980s.
  • 00:16:00.091 --> 00:16:02.794
  • It's remarkable to me, eric, that his ideology, his worldview
  • 00:16:02.794 --> 00:16:05.930
  • Has pretty much stayed the same even since the 80s.
  • 00:16:05.930 --> 00:16:09.100
  • Can you talk about that?
  • 00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:10.134
  • His remarkable
  • 00:16:10.134 --> 00:16:10.968
  • Consistency, which is really based
  • 00:16:10.968 --> 00:16:12.470
  • On common sense at the end of the day,
  • 00:16:12.470 --> 00:16:14.806
  • And his personal resilience.
  • 00:16:14.806 --> 00:16:17.275
  • I mean, what your father's gone through,
  • 00:16:17.275 --> 00:16:18.676
  • What your family's gone through, and again,
  • 00:16:18.676 --> 00:16:20.044
  • You write about it so eloquently in under siege.
  • 00:16:20.044 --> 00:16:23.281
  • How does he get through god's hand?
  • 00:16:23.281 --> 00:16:25.283
  • Of course it.
  • 00:16:25.283 --> 00:16:26.451
  • How does he push through? why does he do what he does?
  • 00:16:26.451 --> 00:16:28.619
  • What is machine? i mean, first of all, he's.
  • 00:16:28.619 --> 00:16:30.822
  • Yeah, he's like the energizer bunny,
  • 00:16:30.822 --> 00:16:32.657
  • You know, wearing a red tie on steroids, right?
  • 00:16:32.657 --> 00:16:35.560
  • Like this kind of who he is.
  • 00:16:35.560 --> 00:16:37.395
  • I've always i've always admired in my entire life.
  • 00:16:37.395 --> 00:16:39.497
  • And, i mean, he runs hard.
  • 00:16:39.497 --> 00:16:41.165
  • We all run hard. we all run extremely hard.
  • 00:16:41.165 --> 00:16:43.367
  • And, he just doesn't know how to stop.
  • 00:16:44.135 --> 00:16:46.370
  • He doesn't know how to surrender.
  • 00:16:46.370 --> 00:16:47.271
  • He doesn't know how to stop it.
  • 00:16:47.271 --> 00:16:48.506
  • He believes in something.
  • 00:16:48.506 --> 00:16:49.407
  • He believes in it with all of his heart.
  • 00:16:49.407 --> 00:16:50.675
  • And, and listening.
  • 00:16:50.675 --> 00:16:52.510
  • It's not politically correct. and i can't tell you what.
  • 00:16:52.510 --> 00:16:54.378
  • Like a great blessing when you see it crushed.
  • 00:16:54.378 --> 00:16:56.481
  • Well, he's not politically correct.
  • 00:16:56.481 --> 00:16:57.949
  • It's like the honestly, it's like the greatest blessing
  • 00:16:57.949 --> 00:16:59.717
  • To this country that you're not politically correct.
  • 00:16:59.717 --> 00:17:01.252
  • Like we've
  • 00:17:01.252 --> 00:17:02.420
  • He sold every issue by not being politically correct.
  • 00:17:02.420 --> 00:17:04.856
  • And i think americans are drawn to that honesty.
  • 00:17:04.856 --> 00:17:08.593
  • I mean, how many of these debates
  • 00:17:09.327 --> 00:17:10.394
  • Do you see where where these candidates, you know,
  • 00:17:10.394 --> 00:17:12.296
  • Would rehearsed a soundbite every single time? okay.
  • 00:17:12.296 --> 00:17:14.232
  • Look at somebody like, you know, kamala
  • 00:17:14.232 --> 00:17:15.666
  • Harris's soundbites like these, like,
  • 00:17:15.666 --> 00:17:17.735
  • You know, they're so full of, you know, what the
  • 00:17:17.735 --> 00:17:20.805
  • You know, they're not sincere.
  • 00:17:20.805 --> 00:17:22.106
  • They're not authentic. and americans read through that.
  • 00:17:22.106 --> 00:17:24.175
  • I mean, they instantly read through it.
  • 00:17:24.175 --> 00:17:25.710
  • And, you know, look at him with these zingers.
  • 00:17:25.710 --> 00:17:28.579
  • I mean, that's what americans want.
  • 00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:29.714
  • They want a level of authenticity.
  • 00:17:29.714 --> 00:17:31.182
  • They don't want everything to be polished and perfect and
  • 00:17:31.182 --> 00:17:34.685
  • Cheesy and,
  • 00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:36.787
  • And, now he's just doing a great job for this nation.
  • 00:17:36.787 --> 00:17:39.457
  • And, you know, as a son of an incredibly proud of him,
  • 00:17:39.457 --> 00:17:41.526
  • No doubt. let's talk a bit more about you.
  • 00:17:41.526 --> 00:17:43.394
  • You are obviously a very busy man.
  • 00:17:43.394 --> 00:17:45.730
  • Your wife, laura, is hosting great show weekly on fox news.
  • 00:17:45.730 --> 00:17:48.299
  • Two beautiful young kids talk about your life right now.
  • 00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:51.169
  • You're traveling the world,
  • 00:17:51.169 --> 00:17:52.537
  • Obviously. entrepreneur, business
  • 00:17:52.537 --> 00:17:54.305
  • Focus, trump organization and much more.
  • 00:17:54.305 --> 00:17:56.107
  • Working alongside your father in a lot of ways.
  • 00:17:56.107 --> 00:17:58.643
  • What's life like for you right now?
  • 00:17:58.643 --> 00:18:00.945
  • It's been a roller coaster ride
  • 00:18:00.945 --> 00:18:02.046
  • For you as well over the past ten years or so.
  • 00:18:02.046 --> 00:18:04.081
  • Well,
  • 00:18:04.081 --> 00:18:05.082
  • I never thought i'd divorce myself in politics,
  • 00:18:05.082 --> 00:18:06.350
  • And i called him on november 6th and i said, pops, i love you.
  • 00:18:06.350 --> 00:18:08.619
  • You know, we want the super bowl.
  • 00:18:08.619 --> 00:18:09.654
  • We're out.
  • 00:18:09.654 --> 00:18:10.721
  • You know, i'm out and we're back to the company
  • 00:18:10.721 --> 00:18:12.123
  • And we're back to the people i love.
  • 00:18:12.123 --> 00:18:13.124
  • I'm gonna go back to my kids
  • 00:18:13.124 --> 00:18:14.625
  • Who are certainly missing us at the end.
  • 00:18:14.625 --> 00:18:15.993
  • You know, there's there's no question
  • 00:18:15.993 --> 00:18:17.228
  • That that has an impact on young kids.
  • 00:18:17.228 --> 00:18:19.030
  • So my daughter looked at us, you know.
  • 00:18:19.030 --> 00:18:21.098
  • Mom, dad, you know, when are you going to be back home?
  • 00:18:21.098 --> 00:18:23.568
  • You know, you're traveling six days a week for a yeah,
  • 00:18:23.568 --> 00:18:25.937
  • For a campaign. you're on every stage in the country. and,
  • 00:18:25.937 --> 00:18:28.706
  • You know, i care about family.
  • 00:18:29.307 --> 00:18:30.608
  • I care about them.
  • 00:18:30.608 --> 00:18:32.410
  • I care about our company.
  • 00:18:32.410 --> 00:18:33.678
  • We have one great real estate companies anywhere in the world.
  • 00:18:33.678 --> 00:18:35.413
  • And, you know, put a lot of effort into this book.
  • 00:18:35.413 --> 00:18:37.682
  • I wrote every word of it,
  • 00:18:37.682 --> 00:18:40.952
  • Every dirty trick, every kind of behind the scenes moment.
  • 00:18:40.952 --> 00:18:44.222
  • And, you know, writing a book is a bear.
  • 00:18:44.222 --> 00:18:46.757
  • You know, it's actually very cathartic.
  • 00:18:46.757 --> 00:18:47.825
  • I never thought,
  • 00:18:47.825 --> 00:18:48.459
  • Wow, i,
  • 00:18:48.459 --> 00:18:49.493
  • You know, i never thought i really use that word
  • 00:18:49.493 --> 00:18:51.162
  • Because i'm not kind of a mushy guy.
  • 00:18:51.162 --> 00:18:52.230
  • In fact, i'm kind of,
  • 00:18:52.230 --> 00:18:53.397
  • You know, desensitize to life and probably,
  • 00:18:53.397 --> 00:18:55.967
  • You know, rock hard in a certain way. i'm not proud of that.
  • 00:18:55.967 --> 00:18:58.002
  • But it was actually like an incredibly cathartic process.
  • 00:18:58.002 --> 00:19:01.239
  • Actually. i should start writing the stories and then
  • 00:19:01.239 --> 00:19:03.074
  • Going back and just
  • 00:19:03.074 --> 00:19:04.141
  • Really remembering how insane it was.
  • 00:19:04.875 --> 00:19:06.944
  • You know, if you were to write the story
  • 00:19:06.944 --> 00:19:09.146
  • In a traditional novel, no one would believe it
  • 00:19:09.146 --> 00:19:11.882
  • And no one would believe it.
  • 00:19:11.882 --> 00:19:12.883
  • And honestly, it was
  • 00:19:12.883 --> 00:19:13.985
  • It was so much worse than what people even saw on tv.
  • 00:19:13.985 --> 00:19:16.921
  • For every one attack that they saw on tv,
  • 00:19:16.921 --> 00:19:18.656
  • There were 99 behind
  • 00:19:18.656 --> 00:19:19.857
  • The scenes that they never saw, that never came to light.
  • 00:19:19.857 --> 00:19:22.927
  • You know, i kind of break down every single one of them.
  • 00:19:22.927 --> 00:19:24.729
  • And, but it was a great process.
  • 00:19:24.729 --> 00:19:26.530
  • The company's ever better.
  • 00:19:26.530 --> 00:19:27.698
  • The book went to number one.
  • 00:19:27.698 --> 00:19:29.734
  • Lori's, an absolute rock star.
  • 00:19:29.734 --> 00:19:31.902
  • As a mother, on tv,
  • 00:19:31.902 --> 00:19:34.839
  • I listen, you know, all the democrats killed her,
  • 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:37.375
  • You know, a large i'm just going to go run the rnc.
  • 00:19:37.375 --> 00:19:39.443
  • Hahaha.
  • 00:19:39.443 --> 00:19:40.344
  • And yeah, she quadrupled fundraising.
  • 00:19:40.344 --> 00:19:42.913
  • You know, she got rid of
  • 00:19:42.913 --> 00:19:44.315
  • 70% of the people at the rnc that didn't exist.
  • 00:19:44.315 --> 00:19:46.651
  • She weeded out all those.
  • 00:19:46.651 --> 00:19:48.653
  • She fought the early vote.
  • 00:19:48.653 --> 00:19:49.987
  • She got rid of the,
  • 00:19:49.987 --> 00:19:51.489
  • You know, massive corruption
  • 00:19:51.489 --> 00:19:52.390
  • That we're seeing in
  • 00:19:52.390 --> 00:19:52.923
  • Every state,
  • 00:19:52.923 --> 00:19:53.858
  • You know, had poll watchers everywhere
  • 00:19:53.858 --> 00:19:55.326
  • And, and beat the pants off
  • 00:19:55.326 --> 00:19:56.961
  • The other side that three months earlier.
  • 00:19:56.961 --> 00:19:58.929
  • Well mocking her and so,
  • 00:19:58.929 --> 00:20:00.865
  • She's or she's rock star, in every regard in,
  • 00:20:00.865 --> 00:20:04.001
  • Life is good.
  • 00:20:04.368 --> 00:20:05.202
  • We're we're incredibly fortunate.
  • 00:20:05.202 --> 00:20:06.337
  • Hey, amazing.
  • 00:20:06.337 --> 00:20:07.238
  • It all comes back around, like you said.
  • 00:20:07.238 --> 00:20:08.439
  • Look at what laura accomplished
  • 00:20:08.439 --> 00:20:09.540
  • During the election and the tremendous victory.
  • 00:20:09.540 --> 00:20:11.776
  • We can't let you go.
  • 00:20:11.776 --> 00:20:12.510
  • Last question, eric,
  • 00:20:12.510 --> 00:20:13.577
  • Without mentioning the proceeds for under
  • 00:20:13.577 --> 00:20:15.713
  • From under siege go towards some go towards turning point
  • 00:20:15.713 --> 00:20:19.417
  • In memory of another man of action, charlie kirk.
  • 00:20:19.417 --> 00:20:22.253
  • Talk more about charlie's memory and why you feel it's
  • 00:20:22.253 --> 00:20:25.022
  • So important to support turning point
  • 00:20:25.022 --> 00:20:28.125
  • By killing charlie.
  • 00:20:28.125 --> 00:20:29.093
  • They want to take our voice off that stage.
  • 00:20:29.093 --> 00:20:30.728
  • Believe me, they would have done to me.
  • 00:20:30.728 --> 00:20:31.862
  • They would have done to dawn.
  • 00:20:31.862 --> 00:20:33.397
  • They would have done to have,
  • 00:20:33.397 --> 00:20:34.665
  • You know, they tried to do it to my father, obviously. and,
  • 00:20:34.665 --> 00:20:37.368
  • They don't want us getting up there with a bull.
  • 00:20:37.368 --> 00:20:39.103
  • Mike.
  • 00:20:39.103 --> 00:20:40.271
  • You know, bullhorn on top of a tractor or picnic table.
  • 00:20:40.271 --> 00:20:43.341
  • They they don't want our voice out there.
  • 00:20:43.341 --> 00:20:45.876
  • And they thought they could vote from the rooftops.
  • 00:20:45.876 --> 00:20:47.378
  • They thought they could stop the greatest political movement
  • 00:20:47.378 --> 00:20:49.280
  • In the history of this country from the rooftops.
  • 00:20:49.280 --> 00:20:51.282
  • Now, they did the exact opposite thing.
  • 00:20:51.282 --> 00:20:52.616
  • Meaning in retrospect,
  • 00:20:52.616 --> 00:20:54.285
  • In charlie's voice became louder than ever.
  • 00:20:54.285 --> 00:20:58.022
  • You know, when they effectively made him a martyr.
  • 00:20:58.022 --> 00:21:00.358
  • And, he saw that.
  • 00:21:00.358 --> 00:21:01.959
  • He saw that stadium in arizona, the cardinal stadium, where,
  • 00:21:01.959 --> 00:21:05.062
  • You know,
  • 00:21:05.062 --> 00:21:06.163
  • You had 100,000 people show up, watched by everybody
  • 00:21:06.163 --> 00:21:08.532
  • All around the world.
  • 00:21:08.532 --> 00:21:09.500
  • You had people in pretoria, south africa,
  • 00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:11.035
  • That were doing vigil for charlie kirk.
  • 00:21:11.035 --> 00:21:13.371
  • You had a million people that walked across
  • 00:21:13.371 --> 00:21:14.839
  • A london bridge in honor of charlie kirk, south korea.
  • 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.442
  • They cemented a legacy, you know, of, of of youth.
  • 00:21:18.442 --> 00:21:23.381
  • And by the way, wasn't even youth. it was
  • 00:21:23.381 --> 00:21:24.749
  • It was every age demographic was affected by them. but,
  • 00:21:24.749 --> 00:21:27.184
  • It was the biggest mistake these people ever made.
  • 00:21:28.185 --> 00:21:30.287
  • They cemented his legacy. and,
  • 00:21:30.287 --> 00:21:32.890
  • We have to continue to support the cause and honor
  • 00:21:32.890 --> 00:21:35.059
  • To honor to donate
  • 00:21:35.059 --> 00:21:36.861
  • Some of the proceeds from under siege, obviously,
  • 00:21:36.861 --> 00:21:38.863
  • To to charlie and his legacy and his great white
  • 00:21:38.863 --> 00:21:41.132
  • Wife, erica. and,
  • 00:21:41.132 --> 00:21:43.334
  • Our voices will not be silenced, and we will not be quiet,
  • 00:21:43.334 --> 00:21:46.003
  • And we will not exit that stage,
  • 00:21:46.003 --> 00:21:48.139
  • And we will continue to fight as we have for the last 12 years.
  • 00:21:48.139 --> 00:21:50.508

  • Coming up, my final thoughts on justice served.
  • 00:22:12.930 --> 00:22:16.467
  • Stick around.
  • 00:22:16.834 --> 00:22:21.009

  • Welcome back to
  • 00:22:24.281 --> 00:22:25.315
  • Stakelbeck tonight, folks, as we wrap up here.
  • 00:22:25.315 --> 00:22:26.983
  • What a great conversation with eric trump.
  • 00:22:26.983 --> 00:22:28.919
  • And i think of how things have come full circle.
  • 00:22:28.919 --> 00:22:31.154
  • The all out assault
  • 00:22:31.154 --> 00:22:32.355
  • On his father, on his family that he details in the book
  • 00:22:32.355 --> 00:22:35.292
  • Under siege.
  • 00:22:35.292 --> 00:22:35.959
  • And now
  • 00:22:35.959 --> 00:22:36.393
  • President trump
  • 00:22:36.393 --> 00:22:37.594
  • Is back in the white house, and people like james comey,
  • 00:22:37.594 --> 00:22:40.263
  • Who came against the president in a very unjust way,
  • 00:22:40.263 --> 00:22:42.999
  • Are facing justice.
  • 00:22:42.999 --> 00:22:44.267
  • I think of the gospel of luke,
  • 00:22:44.267 --> 00:22:45.769
  • Chapter eight verse 17, for there is nothing hidden.
  • 00:22:45.769 --> 00:22:48.538
  • Jesus said, that will not be disclosed and nothing concealed
  • 00:22:48.538 --> 00:22:52.642
  • That will not be known or brought out into the open.
  • 00:22:52.642 --> 00:22:55.979
  • Folks who were seeing that verse
  • 00:22:55.979 --> 00:22:57.347
  • Play out right now in real time before your very eyes.
  • 00:22:57.347 --> 00:23:01.151
  • Hey, speaking of current events and biblical events
  • 00:23:01.151 --> 00:23:03.687
  • Playing out brand new film the dragon's prophecy,
  • 00:23:03.687 --> 00:23:06.890
  • The filmmaker dinesh d'souza will be here tomorrow night
  • 00:23:06.890 --> 00:23:09.893
  • Talking israel to prophetic implications.
  • 00:23:09.893 --> 00:23:12.195
  • How it affects you. it's going to be good.
  • 00:23:12.195 --> 00:23:14.564
  • Until then, god bless you.
  • 00:23:14.564 --> 00:23:16.633
