Some would even say that we’re witnessing biblical prophecy unfold in real time. Stakelbeck Tonight will make sense of these stunning developments through a bold and biblical lens.

- Eric, in just the past few days alone,
- 00:01:18.968 --> 00:01:20.503
- We've seen the houthis in yemen backed down and announced
- 00:01:20.503 --> 00:01:23.973
- They're going to stop attacking u.s. shipping in the red sea.
- 00:01:23.973 --> 00:01:26.843
- We've seen ukraine agreed
- 00:01:26.843 --> 00:01:28.578
- That minerals deal with the united states,
- 00:01:28.578 --> 00:01:31.181

- 00:01:31.181 --> 00:01:34.551
- All of a sudden striking a much different tone
- 00:01:34.551 --> 00:01:37.020
- In his sit down with your father at the oval office and saying,
- 00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:40.423
- Look, i want to do business with the united states.
- 00:01:40.423 --> 00:01:43.159
- It seems none of this happens
- 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.295
- Without your father back in office.
- 00:01:45.295 --> 00:01:47.497

- The whole global scene.
- 00:01:50.233 --> 00:01:52.735
- Well, that's what happens when you have somebody
- 00:01:53.703 --> 00:01:54.971
- In this country that actually has backbone.
- 00:01:54.971 --> 00:01:56.606
- Erick. i mean, you know, it's very simple.
- 00:01:56.606 --> 00:01:58.274
- This is what the american people wanted.
- 00:01:58.274 --> 00:01:59.442
- They wanted a fighter.
- 00:01:59.442 --> 00:02:00.510
- They want to go out there and represent america's
- 00:02:00.510 --> 00:02:03.246
- Best interests.
- 00:02:03.246 --> 00:02:04.314
- They wanted a person who was willing to punch back.
- 00:02:04.314 --> 00:02:06.015
- They wanted a person who actually showed up at work.
- 00:02:06.015 --> 00:02:07.917
- And we everybody knows that
- 00:02:07.917 --> 00:02:08.885
- Joe biden in georgia work right up in.

- I told you this before, but i've had you know,
- 00:02:11.721 --> 00:02:13.523
- I have a lot of friends in the white house,
- 00:02:13.523 --> 00:02:14.691
- And i can tell you there's a very marked difference
- 00:02:14.691 --> 00:02:16.726
- Between january 19th and january 21st,
- 00:02:16.726 --> 00:02:20.396
- In terms of, of of action apps, the employees
- 00:02:20.396 --> 00:02:23.099
- In that building didn't even show up for work.
- 00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:24.601
- They were still working from home,
- 00:02:24.601 --> 00:02:26.536
- When my father took over.
- 00:02:26.536 --> 00:02:27.670
- And so, listen, my father's a fighter.
- 00:02:27.670 --> 00:02:29.739
- My father's always wanted to put america first.
- 00:02:29.739 --> 00:02:32.976
- His mantra has always been, listen, i want to be
- 00:02:32.976 --> 00:02:35.044
- The coach of the super bowl winning team.
- 00:02:35.044 --> 00:02:37.146
- I don't want to come in second. i don't want to come in third.
- 00:02:37.146 --> 00:02:39.115
- America has to win.
- 00:02:39.115 --> 00:02:40.250
- You have to be the best at what we do every single day.
- 00:02:40.250 --> 00:02:42.652
- And you know, and you're seeing it around the world.
- 00:02:42.652 --> 00:02:45.521
- We're not getting used and abused. we're taking
- 00:02:45.521 --> 00:02:47.457
- Billions of billions of dollars worth of tariffs.
- 00:02:47.457 --> 00:02:49.993
- We're putting our industry that has been robbed
- 00:02:49.993 --> 00:02:52.395
- Out of our country.
- 00:02:52.395 --> 00:02:53.196
- We're putting that again in first.
- 00:02:53.196 --> 00:02:54.897
- Again, you're seeing, you know, tensions around the world,
- 00:02:54.897 --> 00:02:58.167
- Starting to ease.
- 00:02:58.601 --> 00:02:59.736
- And it seems like, you know, there's peace to be had.
- 00:02:59.736 --> 00:03:02.038
- You know, sometime in the near future
- 00:03:02.038 --> 00:03:03.406
- Between, obviously, russia and ukraine.
- 00:03:03.406 --> 00:03:05.708
- Hopefully that will come to an end, a totally senseless war
- 00:03:05.708 --> 00:03:08.044
- That would never happen
- 00:03:08.044 --> 00:03:09.379
- If my father was in office the first place.
- 00:03:09.379 --> 00:03:11.881
- You know, iran will not get a nuclear weapon.
- 00:03:11.881 --> 00:03:13.850
- And hopefully those talks continue to go well.
- 00:03:13.850 --> 00:03:17.387
- You're seeing interest rates falling, you're seeing
- 00:03:17.387 --> 00:03:19.422
- Inflation, falling unlike it's ever fallen before.
- 00:03:19.422 --> 00:03:22.992
- I think we're going to have one
- 00:03:22.992 --> 00:03:24.093
- Of the greatest markets in the history of the country.
- 00:03:24.093 --> 00:03:25.762
- And i think america is going to most importantly of all,
- 00:03:25.762 --> 00:03:28.931
- America is is respected again, because we have
- 00:03:28.931 --> 00:03:31.834
- We have toughness and we have a tough leader.
- 00:03:31.834 --> 00:03:33.736
- They're not going to allow
- 00:03:33.736 --> 00:03:35.004
- The houthis
- 00:03:35.004 --> 00:03:35.972
- To attack our warships or other maritime ships
- 00:03:35.972 --> 00:03:37.840
- That want to go up through the red sea.
- 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.475
- My father is i'm than 100 days
- 00:03:39.475 --> 00:03:41.711
- And the joe biden in his term in office.
- 00:03:41.711 --> 00:03:44.747
- And i'm incredibly proud of him.
- 00:03:44.747 --> 00:03:45.882
- And this is exactly what, america voted for.
- 00:03:45.882 --> 00:03:48.951
- America's peace through strength in action.
- 00:03:48.951 --> 00:03:51.921
- Also, what i love is president trump has all the leverage
- 00:03:51.921 --> 00:03:55.391
- And he's not afraid to use it.
- 00:03:55.391 --> 00:03:57.026
- You mentioned trade and tariffs.
- 00:03:57.026 --> 00:03:58.895
- Why is it so important to reset global trade in america's favor
- 00:03:58.895 --> 00:04:04.334
- And establish
- 00:04:04.334 --> 00:04:05.768
- Fair trade? and why should the american
- 00:04:05.768 --> 00:04:07.570
- People have some patience on this?
- 00:04:07.570 --> 00:04:10.139
- Yeah,
- 00:04:10.373 --> 00:04:11.541
- Let's also make so many people that push back against the
- 00:04:11.541 --> 00:04:13.810
- Fair trade.
- 00:04:13.810 --> 00:04:15.078
- You know, erick, i can tell you and all of us, all your viewers.
- 00:04:15.078 --> 00:04:16.846
- I mean,
- 00:04:16.846 --> 00:04:17.714
- You know,
- 00:04:17.714 --> 00:04:18.881
- He's a guy who's traveled every state in this country.
- 00:04:18.881 --> 00:04:20.116
- I've done hundreds and hundreds,
- 00:04:20.116 --> 00:04:21.384
- Thousands travel miles on campaign trails.
- 00:04:21.384 --> 00:04:23.319
- I can't tell you
- 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:24.087
- How many factories i've been in
- 00:04:24.087 --> 00:04:25.688
- In the united states that were shut down.
- 00:04:25.688 --> 00:04:28.024
- They the chain link fence around them.
- 00:04:28.024 --> 00:04:29.625
- You know, the parking lots were overgrown with weeds,
- 00:04:29.625 --> 00:04:32.762
- You know, beautiful manufacturing
- 00:04:32.762 --> 00:04:34.263
- They used to take place there. just disappeared. right?
- 00:04:34.263 --> 00:04:36.799
- I mean, somebody went in with, with with sweatshop labor,
- 00:04:36.799 --> 00:04:40.236
- Stole american jobs,
- 00:04:40.703 --> 00:04:42.772
- You know, put businesses
- 00:04:42.772 --> 00:04:44.240
- Out of business
- 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:45.208
- While our politicians were totally asleep
- 00:04:45.208 --> 00:04:46.642
- Because they've never visited at these towns.
- 00:04:46.642 --> 00:04:48.611
- They've never visited at these places,
- 00:04:48.611 --> 00:04:51.180
- And just destroyed communities, destroyed school systems
- 00:04:51.180 --> 00:04:53.950
- Destroyed, churches destroyed,
- 00:04:53.950 --> 00:04:56.152
- You know, kind of the fabric of
- 00:04:56.152 --> 00:04:57.620
- Of the essence of heartland america,
- 00:04:57.620 --> 00:05:00.189
- Where we used to produce better than anybody in the world.
- 00:05:00.189 --> 00:05:02.592
- And my father's been in those same buildings, and,
- 00:05:02.592 --> 00:05:05.061
- You know, he's not going to allow it to happen anymore.
- 00:05:05.061 --> 00:05:06.763
- And the irony is, you know,
- 00:05:06.763 --> 00:05:07.830
- So much of that
- 00:05:07.830 --> 00:05:08.998
- That you know, those products were taken over by china
- 00:05:08.998 --> 00:05:11.701
- And and now china sells, you know, that very products,
- 00:05:11.701 --> 00:05:15.571
- Made much more poorly, right, to a much lower quality
- 00:05:15.571 --> 00:05:19.375
- Back to the very people that he put out of business.
- 00:05:19.375 --> 00:05:23.513
- Right.
- 00:05:23.513 --> 00:05:24.013
- And and my father,
- 00:05:24.013 --> 00:05:25.148
- Because we're not gonna allow this to happen anymore.
- 00:05:25.148 --> 00:05:26.349
- We're not going to have these,
- 00:05:26.349 --> 00:05:27.850
- You know, chinese container ships,
- 00:05:27.850 --> 00:05:29.385
- You know, sailing into the port of la,
- 00:05:29.385 --> 00:05:31.687
- You know,
- 00:05:31.687 --> 00:05:32.922
- So kind of weighed down that there's about an inch of water,
- 00:05:32.922 --> 00:05:36.125
- You know, a
- 00:05:36.125 --> 00:05:36.793
- Inch of air
- 00:05:36.793 --> 00:05:37.927
- Between kind of the water and the top of the gunnel.
- 00:05:37.927 --> 00:05:40.630
- And then as are leaving our ports here, you see,
- 00:05:40.630 --> 00:05:42.465
- The propeller
- 00:05:42.465 --> 00:05:43.499
- Is out of the water because they're so light,
- 00:05:43.499 --> 00:05:44.734
- They're not sending anything back
- 00:05:44.734 --> 00:05:45.768
- To the other side of the globe.
- 00:05:45.768 --> 00:05:47.003
- I mean, they're not buying our harley-davidson's.
- 00:05:47.003 --> 00:05:49.338
- They're not buying our ford trucks,
- 00:05:49.338 --> 00:05:50.773
- They're not buying our products.
- 00:05:50.773 --> 00:05:52.675
- They're dumping all of their their stuff into this country,
- 00:05:52.675 --> 00:05:55.878
- And they're not taking anything from us all
- 00:05:55.878 --> 00:05:57.680
- While again, putting our businesses,
- 00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.916
- You know, kind of out of work.
- 00:05:59.916 --> 00:06:01.117
- And, you know, one more thing that they're doing,
- 00:06:01.117 --> 00:06:02.852
- So many of these countries are actually subsidizing
- 00:06:02.852 --> 00:06:05.755
- Companies to lose money sending products to america,
- 00:06:05.755 --> 00:06:09.425
- Knowing that if they do that, they can vastly undercut
- 00:06:09.425 --> 00:06:12.862
- Our prices over here.
- 00:06:12.862 --> 00:06:14.163
- You know, whirlpool, kitchenaid is a great example.
- 00:06:14.163 --> 00:06:16.732
- They were trying to put those companies out of business.
- 00:06:16.732 --> 00:06:18.868
- The governments were subsidizing,
- 00:06:18.868 --> 00:06:21.170
- You know, their products from their countries, you know,
- 00:06:21.170 --> 00:06:24.440
- So they could be sold into america at a loss
- 00:06:24.440 --> 00:06:26.409
- So they could get the lion's share of market share.
- 00:06:26.409 --> 00:06:28.711
- And once they bankrupt our companies, congratulations.
- 00:06:28.711 --> 00:06:30.980
- You know what they're going to do?
- 00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:32.215
- They're going to jump prices by 200% because there's no other
- 00:06:32.215 --> 00:06:36.118
- Alternative american option.
- 00:06:36.118 --> 00:06:37.687
- And so it's natural security.
- 00:06:37.687 --> 00:06:39.255
- It's it's pride of the american worker.
- 00:06:39.255 --> 00:06:41.891
- It's protection of the american worker.
- 00:06:41.891 --> 00:06:44.427
- As protection of the american consumer.
- 00:06:44.427 --> 00:06:45.928
- And it's about time you have a business
- 00:06:45.928 --> 00:06:47.363
- Who actually understands
- 00:06:47.363 --> 00:06:48.564
- This game and understands how badly we've been ripped off.
- 00:06:48.564 --> 00:06:51.467
- The fact that we have 37 trillio
- 00:06:51.467 --> 00:06:57.139
- It can't continue.
- 00:06:57.573 --> 00:06:58.808
- We won't have a nation anymore. and i'm so happy.
- 00:06:58.808 --> 00:07:01.177
- It's why i fought so hard
- 00:07:01.177 --> 00:07:02.311
- On that campaign trail every single day.
- 00:07:02.311 --> 00:07:04.947
- And it's why, you know, i thank god
- 00:07:04.947 --> 00:07:06.415
- Every day that donald trump is behind that.
- 00:07:06.415 --> 00:07:08.084
- That resolute desk.
- 00:07:08.084 --> 00:07:10.620
- Yeah.
- 00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:11.587
- And your father's making america sane again.
- 00:07:11.587 --> 00:07:13.756
- And, eric, make a great point.
- 00:07:13.756 --> 00:07:15.124
- The american worker has been sold down the river for decades.
- 00:07:15.124 --> 00:07:18.094
- I see it in my hometown of philadelphia,
- 00:07:18.094 --> 00:07:19.962
- My home state of pennsylvania, really struggling
- 00:07:19.962 --> 00:07:22.832
- Because joel jobs were sent overseas.
- 00:07:22.832 --> 00:07:25.101
- Manufacturing shut down.
- 00:07:25.101 --> 00:07:26.302
- Your father, thankfully, is bringing that back.
- 00:07:26.302 --> 00:07:28.838
- You mentioned you've been to every state in the nation.
- 00:07:28.838 --> 00:07:30.706
- You also just returned from the middle east.
- 00:07:30.706 --> 00:07:33.009
- And after the break,
- 00:07:33.009 --> 00:07:34.243
- We're going to talk to eric about exciting new opportunities
- 00:07:34.243 --> 00:07:36.846
- And a new day in the world's most volatile region.
- 00:07:36.846 --> 00:07:40.116
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:07:40.116 --> 00:07:45.004
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:07:45.004 --> 00:07:47.558
- Welcome back to stakelbeck
- 00:07:48.125 --> 00:07:49.393
- Tonight.
- 00:07:49.393 --> 00:07:50.260
- We're talking to the executive vice
- 00:07:50.260 --> 00:07:51.094
- President of the trump organization.
- 00:07:51.094 --> 00:07:52.663
- Eric trump is with us.
- 00:07:52.663 --> 00:07:54.164
- Eric, he just returned
- 00:07:54.164 --> 00:07:55.465
- From a whirlwind trip to the middle east.
- 00:07:55.465 --> 00:07:57.868
- Hey, some exciting things happening in the world's
- 00:07:57.868 --> 00:08:00.170
- Most volatile and chaotic region.
- 00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:02.639
- A new day there and new opportunities for america.
- 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:06.109
- And perhaps the abraham accords are back on the table as well.
- 00:08:06.109 --> 00:08:09.413
- How did what did you see during your trip to the middle east?
- 00:08:09.413 --> 00:08:13.050
- Well, we're going every middle east.
- 00:08:13.050 --> 00:08:14.151
- For for almost 20 years i've been going over to dubai.
- 00:08:14.151 --> 00:08:16.153
- We have, we had a beautiful golf course
- 00:08:16.153 --> 00:08:17.588
- Over there, a building, an unbelievable hotel,
- 00:08:17.588 --> 00:08:19.923
- There as we speak.
- 00:08:19.923 --> 00:08:21.024
- And, and we have other projects in the region, oman.
- 00:08:21.024 --> 00:08:23.226
- In saudi.
- 00:08:23.226 --> 00:08:24.661
- And it reaches incredible.
- 00:08:24.661 --> 00:08:25.796
- I, you know, there's, i think a very kind of mistaken
- 00:08:25.796 --> 00:08:29.199
- Perception, of the middle east, from,
- 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.301
- From a lot of people here in the country,
- 00:08:31.301 --> 00:08:33.170
- Especially kind of the developing middle east.
- 00:08:33.170 --> 00:08:36.206
- I'll tell you right now, walking through dubai, you're
- 00:08:36.206 --> 00:08:39.509
- Substantially safer than walking through london, right?
- 00:08:39.509 --> 00:08:42.579
- It's not even it's not gonna close.
- 00:08:42.579 --> 00:08:44.314
- Are there a lot of america, their love
- 00:08:44.314 --> 00:08:45.816
- Of safety of the world, their love of of donald trump,
- 00:08:45.816 --> 00:08:49.186
- Is unlike anything that you've ever seen before.
- 00:08:49.186 --> 00:08:52.255
- Those places that dubai's the abu dhabi's.
- 00:08:52.255 --> 00:08:54.758
- They fly based on one thing. right?
- 00:08:54.758 --> 00:08:56.860
- And that's, you know, safety of their population and,
- 00:08:56.860 --> 00:08:59.796
- Commercial activity and strong relationships,
- 00:08:59.796 --> 00:09:02.299
- You know, frankly, with the west,
- 00:09:02.299 --> 00:09:04.001
- And i can tell you they're not into,
- 00:09:04.001 --> 00:09:06.470
- The nonsense that's happening in other countries.
- 00:09:06.470 --> 00:09:08.305
- They're not into shooting missiles
- 00:09:08.305 --> 00:09:10.407
- And they're not into iran attacking, israel.
- 00:09:10.407 --> 00:09:14.378
- They want safety, we want prosperity,
- 00:09:14.378 --> 00:09:16.279
- And they want to be able to grow,
- 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.315
- A great region of the world.
- 00:09:18.315 --> 00:09:19.416
- And i think that's a beautiful thing, for humanity.
- 00:09:19.416 --> 00:09:21.652
- I think it's a beautiful thing for for for america.
- 00:09:21.652 --> 00:09:23.820
- But, you know, i'll tell you,
- 00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:25.022
- And i know all these countries extremely well,
- 00:09:25.022 --> 00:09:27.290
- I work in, in the vast majority of them.
- 00:09:27.290 --> 00:09:29.259
- And i'm on a plane a couple hundred days a year.
- 00:09:29.259 --> 00:09:32.496
- I think they've honestly become better allies,
- 00:09:32.496 --> 00:09:34.131
- And they'll probably take criticism for saying this.
- 00:09:34.131 --> 00:09:36.033
- Then,
- 00:09:36.033 --> 00:09:36.933
- Many of the european countries
- 00:09:36.933 --> 00:09:38.101
- That have really abused this country for, for so long,
- 00:09:38.101 --> 00:09:41.371
- You know,
- 00:09:41.371 --> 00:09:42.372
- They want strong partnerships with america,
- 00:09:42.372 --> 00:09:43.774
- They want strong trade with america,
- 00:09:43.774 --> 00:09:45.609
- They want strong business relationships with america.
- 00:09:45.609 --> 00:09:47.944
- They encourage americans to come over and invest.
- 00:09:47.944 --> 00:09:51.782
- And that's very different than most of, of europe,
- 00:09:51.782 --> 00:09:54.017
- Which takes a very highbrow approach, you know, very rare
- 00:09:54.017 --> 00:09:56.753
- Crowd of what, you know, i'm doing.
- 00:09:56.753 --> 00:09:58.255
- And the trump organization
- 00:09:58.255 --> 00:09:59.156
- Is doing a in that part of the world.
- 00:09:59.156 --> 00:10:01.258
- Yeah.
- 00:10:01.491 --> 00:10:02.659
- Eric, truly, i've traveled throughout the region as well.
- 00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:03.927
- I was really struck during the biden years.
- 00:10:03.927 --> 00:10:06.096
- It was a gloomy feeling there in the uae,
- 00:10:06.096 --> 00:10:08.298
- Bahrain, other places i visited, and they all said,
- 00:10:08.298 --> 00:10:11.101
- We need president trump backs someone we can do business with
- 00:10:11.101 --> 00:10:14.805
- And who, again, will stand strong
- 00:10:14.805 --> 00:10:16.273
- Against that iranian axis
- 00:10:16.273 --> 00:10:18.141
- In the region and the abraham accords?
- 00:10:18.141 --> 00:10:19.743
- Obviously, back on the table.
- 00:10:19.743 --> 00:10:21.144
- Exciting times, eric, in the middle east,
- 00:10:21.144 --> 00:10:23.146
- For the first time in a long time.
- 00:10:23.146 --> 00:10:25.048
- Hey, you're traveling around the world.
- 00:10:25.048 --> 00:10:26.283
- You are a very busy man.
- 00:10:26.283 --> 00:10:27.651
- Is it is that going to be a president
- 00:10:27.651 --> 00:10:29.186
- Of the trump organization?
- 00:10:29.186 --> 00:10:30.353
- You've got a beautiful young family, your wife
- 00:10:30.353 --> 00:10:32.522
- Laura, hosting a great show now weekly on fox news.
- 00:10:32.522 --> 00:10:35.492
- Two young kids.
- 00:10:35.492 --> 00:10:36.626
- But i love eric.
- 00:10:36.626 --> 00:10:37.728
- When you talk about how you juggle it all and faith
- 00:10:37.728 --> 00:10:40.731
- And family are first and foremost for you,
- 00:10:40.731 --> 00:10:43.800
- Tell us how you put that first in your life.
- 00:10:43.800 --> 00:10:46.470
- Despite a very hectic schedule.
- 00:10:46.470 --> 00:10:48.338
- You know, i always say it's it's the
- 00:10:49.139 --> 00:10:50.340
- Maybe the greatest challenge.
- 00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:51.608
- Certainly the, you know, family side, obviously,
- 00:10:51.608 --> 00:10:53.577
- You know, what i do is, is being on a plane.
- 00:10:53.577 --> 00:10:55.312
- If i'm on or not on a plane, i'm
- 00:10:55.312 --> 00:10:56.646
- Not really accomplishing anything.
- 00:10:56.646 --> 00:10:57.981
- And, you know, and so i travel an incredible amount.
- 00:10:57.981 --> 00:11:01.351
- My wife's an absolute saint, and i think she's, you know,
- 00:11:01.351 --> 00:11:03.587
- Been used to a husband that's absent
- 00:11:03.587 --> 00:11:06.256
- A couple days a week, at least a couple of days a week.
- 00:11:06.256 --> 00:11:08.458
- And, you know, i think i always joke
- 00:11:08.458 --> 00:11:10.627
- That facetime is the greatest invention ever.
- 00:11:10.627 --> 00:11:12.529
- Because every single night, no matter where
- 00:11:12.529 --> 00:11:14.030
- I am around the world, you know, and about 9 p.m.,
- 00:11:14.030 --> 00:11:17.234
- I call my family if i'm not at home.
- 00:11:18.034 --> 00:11:20.237
- Right.
- 00:11:20.237 --> 00:11:21.404
- And i'm spending as much time as possible at home now.
- 00:11:21.404 --> 00:11:22.439
- But if i'm not at home,
- 00:11:22.439 --> 00:11:24.141
- And we do the pledge of allegiance,
- 00:11:24.141 --> 00:11:25.542
- We do the lord's prayer, and we have these
- 00:11:25.542 --> 00:11:27.377
- Two little family prayers that we do.
- 00:11:27.377 --> 00:11:28.812
- And that's kind of like the way
- 00:11:28.812 --> 00:11:30.514
- That my kids kind of turn off at night.
- 00:11:30.514 --> 00:11:32.349
- They know after that, there's no more getting up.
- 00:11:32.349 --> 00:11:34.050
- There's no more running around the house.
- 00:11:34.050 --> 00:11:35.252
- There's no more lights on.
- 00:11:35.252 --> 00:11:36.153
- There's no more games.
- 00:11:36.153 --> 00:11:37.154
- So, you know, faith is a very important thing
- 00:11:37.154 --> 00:11:38.889
- To us is an important thing to me.
- 00:11:38.889 --> 00:11:40.090
- You know, personally,
- 00:11:40.090 --> 00:11:41.691
- It's incredibly important thing for our nation.
- 00:11:41.691 --> 00:11:43.927
- Our nation was founded on faith.
- 00:11:43.927 --> 00:11:45.829
- I 90% of the problems that we have in this nation
- 00:11:45.829 --> 00:11:48.465
- To be cured, by faith, by belief, you know, by family.
- 00:11:48.465 --> 00:11:53.970
- I'm lucky to have the greatest wife in the world.
- 00:11:53.970 --> 00:11:55.839
- She's. she's a phenomenal person.
- 00:11:55.839 --> 00:11:58.208
- You know,
- 00:11:58.208 --> 00:11:59.476
- She's being laughed at by the democrats a year and a half ago
- 00:11:59.476 --> 00:12:01.411
- When, you know, my father made her, the co-chair of the rnc.
- 00:12:01.411 --> 00:12:05.081
- Hahaha.
- 00:12:05.081 --> 00:12:06.149
- What does lara trump know about, about politics?
- 00:12:06.149 --> 00:12:08.118
- And, it was a lot of fun to watch her,
- 00:12:08.118 --> 00:12:10.320
- You know, with the beautiful smile, poised, articulate,
- 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.323
- In a kind way with the,
- 00:12:13.824 --> 00:12:15.158
- You know, again, that great smile on her face,
- 00:12:15.158 --> 00:12:17.727
- You know, when all
- 00:12:18.161 --> 00:12:19.396
- Seven of the battleground states and, when the popular vote.
- 00:12:19.396 --> 00:12:23.099
- Never underestimate lara trump.
- 00:12:23.099 --> 00:12:24.601
- She's, she's incredible person.
- 00:12:24.601 --> 00:12:26.136
- And then,
- 00:12:26.136 --> 00:12:26.970
- You know,
- 00:12:26.970 --> 00:12:27.938
- That's my kids, i think is selling real value,
- 00:12:27.938 --> 00:12:29.406
- In them, both from a faith standpoint.
- 00:12:29.406 --> 00:12:31.308
- And also i think from work standpoint is one of the things
- 00:12:31.308 --> 00:12:33.176
- My father and mother always did for me.
- 00:12:33.176 --> 00:12:35.312
- You know, they they got us working very,
- 00:12:35.312 --> 00:12:37.681
- Very young,
- 00:12:37.681 --> 00:12:38.882
- Learned us real skills, taught us the value of a dollar.
- 00:12:38.882 --> 00:12:41.952
- Never gave us unnecessary junk that otherwise,
- 00:12:41.952 --> 00:12:45.422
- You know, material items that otherwise,
- 00:12:46.256 --> 00:12:48.358
- You know, spoiled you. if we wanted a fishing rod.
- 00:12:48.358 --> 00:12:50.460
- Everyone on a bike. congratulations.
- 00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:51.962
- Go work for it and then go buy it yourself.
- 00:12:51.962 --> 00:12:53.730
- And, and so you know, i'm trying to instill that in my children
- 00:12:53.730 --> 00:12:56.366
- As hard as it can be at times, you know, based on who we are.
- 00:12:56.366 --> 00:12:59.636
- But obviously, see, is is first and foremost and,
- 00:12:59.636 --> 00:13:03.940
- And i can tell you at a very young age by, my,
- 00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:06.409
- My kids could do the lord's prayer,
- 00:13:06.409 --> 00:13:07.544
- Which isn't the easiest if you're two years older.
- 00:13:07.544 --> 00:13:09.212
- They could do it for a very young age.
- 00:13:09.212 --> 00:13:11.248
- Yeah. old school american values.
- 00:13:11.248 --> 00:13:13.583
- They never age. and eric, about a minute left before the break.
- 00:13:13.583 --> 00:13:15.952
- Then we'll bring you right back.
- 00:13:15.952 --> 00:13:17.420
- I'd say your father is probably
- 00:13:17.420 --> 00:13:19.089
- The most faith friendly president we've ever seen.
- 00:13:19.089 --> 00:13:22.092
- We've got a new white house faith office.
- 00:13:22.092 --> 00:13:24.694
- This is incredible, eric.
- 00:13:24.694 --> 00:13:25.762
- The day of prayer last week in the rose garden,
- 00:13:25.762 --> 00:13:28.098
- Also an incredible event.
- 00:13:28.098 --> 00:13:29.432
- Talk about the role faith is playing
- 00:13:29.432 --> 00:13:31.635
- In this new administration.
- 00:13:31.635 --> 00:13:32.903
- Why that's great for the american people.
- 00:13:32.903 --> 00:13:34.905
- Let's say faith was under attack.
- 00:13:34.905 --> 00:13:36.539
- Fascia was under attack on like, this country
- 00:13:36.539 --> 00:13:38.208
- Is, as ever, seen before.
- 00:13:38.208 --> 00:13:39.676
- You got to remember, the last administration
- 00:13:39.676 --> 00:13:41.411
- And the obama administration was trying to take, you know,
- 00:13:41.411 --> 00:13:44.481
- You know,
- 00:13:44.781 --> 00:13:45.782
- God out of the pledge of allegiance,
- 00:13:45.782 --> 00:13:48.285
- One nation under god, out of the us currency.
- 00:13:48.285 --> 00:13:51.888
- They were trying to take it out of our classrooms.
- 00:13:51.888 --> 00:13:53.456
- They were trying to take it out of our schools.
- 00:13:53.456 --> 00:13:54.925
- They were trying to take it out of our, our lives.
- 00:13:54.925 --> 00:13:57.394
- And my father came back
- 00:13:57.394 --> 00:13:58.361
- And said, listen, this will never happen.
- 00:13:58.361 --> 00:14:00.430
- And and if he thought prayer
- 00:14:00.430 --> 00:14:02.065
- And unlike anybody else ever has these
- 00:14:02.065 --> 00:14:04.100
- For for freedom of religion, like anybody ever has,
- 00:14:04.100 --> 00:14:07.437
- You know,
- 00:14:07.737 --> 00:14:08.838
- And then again, religion founded this country and,
- 00:14:08.838 --> 00:14:10.707
- You know, guides us all.
- 00:14:10.707 --> 00:14:11.875
- And i really believe in on butler, on that horrible day,
- 00:14:11.875 --> 00:14:16.079
- I really believe that faith saved his life.
- 00:14:16.079 --> 00:14:17.781
- And, there's a lot of signs that i've seen over the years.
- 00:14:17.781 --> 00:14:20.817
- A lot of very big signs i've seen over the years.
- 00:14:20.817 --> 00:14:23.019
- And faith is a very big part of who he is and who we are.
- 00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:27.023
- Yeah.
- 00:14:27.257 --> 00:14:27.824
- Butler was a miracle.
- 00:14:27.824 --> 00:14:28.925
- And number one and number two, without a strong faith,
- 00:14:28.925 --> 00:14:31.761
- There's no way your family could have gone
- 00:14:31.761 --> 00:14:33.697
- Through what you've gone through over the past decade.
- 00:14:33.697 --> 00:14:35.665
- Just amazing.
- 00:14:35.665 --> 00:14:36.599
- And your father and you, your entire family
- 00:14:36.599 --> 00:14:38.702
- Have come out on the other side.
- 00:14:38.702 --> 00:14:39.970
- More there. eric trump, after the break.
- 00:14:39.970 --> 00:14:41.771
- What you need to know about bitcoin and cryptocurrency
- 00:14:41.771 --> 00:14:45.709
- Eric is an expert on that.
- 00:14:45.709 --> 00:14:47.377
- We'll talk about after the break.
- 00:14:47.377 --> 00:14:48.878
- Don't move.
- 00:14:48.878 --> 00:14:53.002
- Don't move.
- 00:14:53.002 --> 00:14:55.420
- Welcome back to stakelbeck
- 00:14:55.988 --> 00:14:57.322
- Tonight we're talking to the executive
- 00:14:57.322 --> 00:14:58.857
- Vice president of the trump organization eric trump eric
- 00:14:58.857 --> 00:15:02.794
- Bitcoin and crypto.
- 00:15:02.794 --> 00:15:04.663
- Now a lot of people watching may be intimidated.
- 00:15:04.663 --> 00:15:06.765
- They may not know a lot about it.
- 00:15:06.765 --> 00:15:08.300
- But you say that bitcoin could transform the financial system.
- 00:15:08.300 --> 00:15:12.738
- Tell us what we need to know about that.
- 00:15:12.738 --> 00:15:15.040
- Yeah well you know i█ve been a
- 00:15:15.640 --> 00:15:18.076
- Hard asset guy
- 00:15:18.076 --> 00:15:18.610
- My whole life
- 00:15:18.610 --> 00:15:19.878
- I've been building hotels, golf courses, residential buildings,
- 00:15:19.878 --> 00:15:22.180
- Commercial buildings, retail outlets.
- 00:15:22.180 --> 00:15:23.782
- I mean, it's what i know i put on construction sites.
- 00:15:23.782 --> 00:15:25.917
- I 11 years old and you know, that's the world we knew.
- 00:15:25.917 --> 00:15:29.187
- And, you know, it
- 00:15:29.187 --> 00:15:30.422
- Wasn't until we started getting, you know, absolutely demonized
- 00:15:30.422 --> 00:15:33.358
- And ostracized until kind of the woke
- 00:15:33.358 --> 00:15:35.127
- Cancel culture came round that they,
- 00:15:35.127 --> 00:15:36.995
- You know, big banks start canceling us.
- 00:15:36.995 --> 00:15:39.297
- And i realized actually how fragile
- 00:15:39.297 --> 00:15:40.699
- The financial system was.
- 00:15:40.699 --> 00:15:41.800
- And, you know, here comes kind of crypto.
- 00:15:41.800 --> 00:15:44.503
- The same people who are attacking us,
- 00:15:44.503 --> 00:15:46.004
- Who are attacking everybody in crypto.
- 00:15:46.004 --> 00:15:47.439
- And so kind of the
- 00:15:47.439 --> 00:15:48.974
- Enemy of your enemy is actually your kind of your friend.
- 00:15:48.974 --> 00:15:52.210
- And so
- 00:15:52.210 --> 00:15:53.578
- We started out with the crypto community, and i have to say,
- 00:15:53.578 --> 00:15:56.515
- I've never been more impressed by the growth of the community.
- 00:15:56.515 --> 00:15:59.151
- I've never been more enthusiastic about the future.
- 00:15:59.151 --> 00:16:01.953
- And i would change it's finance.
- 00:16:01.953 --> 00:16:04.222
- You know, bitcoin is everything that real estate is not.
- 00:16:04.222 --> 00:16:07.159
- And real estate is everything that bitcoin is not.
- 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:09.261
- So they're almost the greatest hedge against each other.
- 00:16:09.261 --> 00:16:11.063
- But you know bitcoin's an asset.
- 00:16:11.063 --> 00:16:13.565
- It's an asset with a limited supply.
- 00:16:13.565 --> 00:16:15.434
- It's an asset that everybody around the world wants.
- 00:16:15.434 --> 00:16:18.036
- It's an asset that has instant
- 00:16:18.036 --> 00:16:20.038
- Liquidity, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- 00:16:20.038 --> 00:16:23.175
- It's the greatest store of value.
- 00:16:23.909 --> 00:16:25.944
- It can be transferred anywhere in the world.
- 00:16:25.944 --> 00:16:28.380
- You know, you look at hard assets and crypto really, well,
- 00:16:28.380 --> 00:16:30.115
- Hard asset company.
- 00:16:30.115 --> 00:16:31.183
- But, you know, you don't have any liquidity.
- 00:16:31.183 --> 00:16:33.452
- And it could take you a year and a half to sell a hotel.
- 00:16:33.452 --> 00:16:35.620
- And it can't be transferred from one city to the next.
- 00:16:35.620 --> 00:16:38.123
- If you have, political corruption or if you have,
- 00:16:38.123 --> 00:16:42.094
- You know, you know, demographics fleeing a certain area.
- 00:16:42.094 --> 00:16:45.330
- And so it ends up being the greatest hedge.
- 00:16:45.330 --> 00:16:47.199
- But, you know, the the growth of bitcoin has been explosive.
- 00:16:47.199 --> 00:16:50.735
- It's about 60% year over year.
- 00:16:50.735 --> 00:16:52.404
- Over the last decade.
- 00:16:52.404 --> 00:16:54.106
- There's been no asset that's performed nearly as well.
- 00:16:54.106 --> 00:16:56.708
- And i can tell you all around the world,
- 00:16:56.708 --> 00:16:58.677
- People are gobbling up as much as they can of it.
- 00:16:58.677 --> 00:17:00.879
- So, i believe in bitcoin.
- 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.014
- I believe in that as digital gold.
- 00:17:03.014 --> 00:17:05.484
- At the same time,
- 00:17:05.484 --> 00:17:06.551
- I really believe in crypto and changing finance.
- 00:17:06.551 --> 00:17:09.421
- Crypto is the future of finance.
- 00:17:09.421 --> 00:17:10.956
- Bitcoin is digital gold.
- 00:17:10.956 --> 00:17:12.324
- And, i'm really kind of proud
- 00:17:12.324 --> 00:17:14.059
- To be putting a lot of my life into this,
- 00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:16.228
- This new financial frontier.
- 00:17:16.228 --> 00:17:18.096
- Folks, you heard it here first from eric trump.
- 00:17:19.030 --> 00:17:21.099
- Hey, a lot of what you're saying, eric,
- 00:17:21.099 --> 00:17:22.701
- A lot of your father's policies are just plain common sense.
- 00:17:22.701 --> 00:17:26.138
- You mentioned government corruption a minute ago.
- 00:17:26.138 --> 00:17:28.573
- That includes doge.
- 00:17:28.573 --> 00:17:30.742
- Can you talk about it?
- 00:17:30.742 --> 00:17:31.843
- Just so people know, i think people may underestimate
- 00:17:31.843 --> 00:17:34.146
- Just how effective doge has been
- 00:17:34.146 --> 00:17:37.282
- And shedding light on corruption and draining the swamp.
- 00:17:37.282 --> 00:17:40.218
- It's been amazing.
- 00:17:40.218 --> 00:17:41.319
- These past few months with doge is uncovered right?
- 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.389
- We know it's a guy who has a business.
- 00:17:45.223 --> 00:17:46.358
- It's like
- 00:17:46.358 --> 00:17:47.259
- It's infuriating to see because you just
- 00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:48.426
- You understand how these things happen
- 00:17:48.426 --> 00:17:50.495
- In some cases and you understand the corruption
- 00:17:50.495 --> 00:17:52.330
- That's happening on the other side, right?
- 00:17:52.330 --> 00:17:53.732
- I mean, we have,
- 00:17:53.732 --> 00:17:54.799
- What, 3.4 million people
- 00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:56.234
- Over the age of 120 on social security, you know,
- 00:17:56.234 --> 00:17:59.304
- And then you have democrats coming out and fighting.
- 00:17:59.304 --> 00:18:01.072
- How dare you?
- 00:18:01.072 --> 00:18:01.973
- How dare you cut these programs?
- 00:18:01.973 --> 00:18:03.441
- It's,
- 00:18:03.441 --> 00:18:04.309
- You know, somebody who doesn't need
- 00:18:04.309 --> 00:18:05.777
- Social security is getting wealthy based on that program,
- 00:18:05.777 --> 00:18:08.446
- And they don't even want to look into it. right?
- 00:18:08.446 --> 00:18:09.981
- Somebody is committing fraud
- 00:18:09.981 --> 00:18:11.183
- On, on, on real people who need social security
- 00:18:11.183 --> 00:18:14.252
- And the government won't do it.
- 00:18:14.252 --> 00:18:15.320
- I think about it until my father and obviously elon,
- 00:18:15.320 --> 00:18:18.823
- You know, came along,
- 00:18:18.823 --> 00:18:20.325
- You see all these examples, i mean, you know, funding
- 00:18:20.325 --> 00:18:22.794
- Tens of millions dollars for transgender mice studies.
- 00:18:22.794 --> 00:18:25.597
- You see these things where, you know,
- 00:18:25.597 --> 00:18:27.465
- You have antivirus software for some agency.
- 00:18:27.465 --> 00:18:30.769
- There's 6000 people who work in the agency,
- 00:18:30.769 --> 00:18:33.438
- But the contract is
- 00:18:33.438 --> 00:18:34.506
- For 100,000 people or 80,000 people for antivirus.
- 00:18:34.506 --> 00:18:37.576
- So, you know, you have 94,000 subscriptions on a monthly basis
- 00:18:37.576 --> 00:18:42.714
- That are being paid for by the american taxpayer,
- 00:18:42.714 --> 00:18:44.983
- That aren't actually being utilized.
- 00:18:44.983 --> 00:18:46.685
- And that's because of,
- 00:18:46.685 --> 00:18:48.386
- You know, incompetence and probably in many cases,
- 00:18:48.386 --> 00:18:51.323
- Absolute corruption.
- 00:18:51.323 --> 00:18:52.457
- And they saved so much money, billions
- 00:18:52.457 --> 00:18:55.527
- And billions of billions of dollars,
- 00:18:55.527 --> 00:18:57.262
- You know, there's no accountability in government
- 00:18:57.262 --> 00:18:59.564
- Until now where there finally is accountability.
- 00:18:59.564 --> 00:19:02.000
- And just remember that
- 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.134
- Everybody out there watching this is an annuity.
- 00:19:03.134 --> 00:19:04.836
- It's not just a one time thing.
- 00:19:04.836 --> 00:19:06.071
- It's not like they just 160 billion, 160 billion
- 00:19:06.071 --> 00:19:09.241
- And much more to come obviously this year.
- 00:19:09.241 --> 00:19:11.309
- But that's 160 next year and 160 the next year.
- 00:19:11.309 --> 00:19:14.312
- We are going to bankrupt our country.
- 00:19:14.312 --> 00:19:16.181
- If we keep running it the way that joe biden did.
- 00:19:16.181 --> 00:19:18.850
- And i
- 00:19:18.850 --> 00:19:19.718
- Think doge might go down in history,
- 00:19:19.718 --> 00:19:20.885
- As is maybe the most meaningful effort,
- 00:19:20.885 --> 00:19:22.954
- And the savior of this nation.
- 00:19:22.954 --> 00:19:24.623
- Yeah. amen. well said.
- 00:19:24.623 --> 00:19:26.224
- Hey, i look at president trump's cabinet.
- 00:19:26.224 --> 00:19:28.460
- This is his steward.
- 00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:29.594
- This is an all star team.
- 00:19:29.594 --> 00:19:31.730
- Talk about the deep bench in this administration, how
- 00:19:31.730 --> 00:19:35.133
- The future looks very bright.
- 00:19:35.133 --> 00:19:37.102
- And the left
- 00:19:37.102 --> 00:19:37.902
- You just mentioned the leadership,
- 00:19:37.902 --> 00:19:39.104
- If you can call it that under joe biden the left right now
- 00:19:39.104 --> 00:19:42.173
- Incomplete disarray, it seems
- 00:19:42.173 --> 00:19:43.675
- I think the future looks bright for the republican party.
- 00:19:43.675 --> 00:19:46.211
- No doubt. but the other side, not so much.
- 00:19:46.211 --> 00:19:49.948
- Here, guys speaking.
- 00:19:50.415 --> 00:19:51.082
- My father,
- 00:19:51.082 --> 00:19:52.217
- You know, a little while ago, and i gather, you know,
- 00:19:52.217 --> 00:19:53.518
- It's it's so cool what you're doing.
- 00:19:53.518 --> 00:19:54.853
- You're throwing so much light into the air
- 00:19:54.853 --> 00:19:56.354
- That the other side, we really can't catch it.
- 00:19:56.354 --> 00:19:58.423
- Like they don't know how to kind of counter program.
- 00:19:58.423 --> 00:20:00.892
- You know, the first two administrations
- 00:20:00.892 --> 00:20:02.160
- Saw this russia investigation.
- 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:03.695
- We had nothing to do with russia, but
- 00:20:03.695 --> 00:20:04.963
- Russia, russia, russia, you know,
- 00:20:04.963 --> 00:20:06.197
- That there's impeachment, there's this.
- 00:20:06.197 --> 00:20:08.233
- He's working on so many fronts.
- 00:20:08.233 --> 00:20:09.801
- He's working so quickly
- 00:20:09.801 --> 00:20:10.969
- That they literally don't know how to counteract it.
- 00:20:10.969 --> 00:20:12.671
- And then you combine that with the fact that
- 00:20:12.671 --> 00:20:14.873
- People just fundamentally distrust
- 00:20:14.873 --> 00:20:16.808
- The mainstream media in this country.
- 00:20:16.808 --> 00:20:18.677
- They distrust them.
- 00:20:18.677 --> 00:20:19.444
- So like anything that they do try
- 00:20:19.444 --> 00:20:20.679
- For against a wall isn't working.
- 00:20:20.679 --> 00:20:22.013
- And it's why the reason that he's as effective as he is and,
- 00:20:22.013 --> 00:20:25.450
- You know, 2020 really hard for us,
- 00:20:25.450 --> 00:20:28.286
- Because i really don't believe we lost.
- 00:20:28.286 --> 00:20:30.255
- And i think there's probably a lot of people,
- 00:20:30.255 --> 00:20:32.123
- Watching this right now. they don't believe the math.
- 00:20:32.123 --> 00:20:34.059
- And that doesn't make any sense to anybody.
- 00:20:34.059 --> 00:20:36.661
- You know, he just awesome.
- 00:20:36.661 --> 00:20:38.496
- Yeah.
- 00:20:38.496 --> 00:20:39.597
- I have to say, it was maybe a blessing in disguise.
- 00:20:39.597 --> 00:20:41.499
- You know, maybe that was god's plan
- 00:20:41.499 --> 00:20:42.801
- Because it allowed my father
- 00:20:42.801 --> 00:20:44.703
- To not only have the executive branch,
- 00:20:44.703 --> 00:20:46.338
- But obviously you have the senate, have congress,
- 00:20:46.338 --> 00:20:49.207
- You know, and then put in a cabinet
- 00:20:50.008 --> 00:20:51.876
- That is just unbelievable.
- 00:20:51.876 --> 00:20:53.845
- Every single one of them are in lockstep with his policies.
- 00:20:53.845 --> 00:20:57.682
- You know, we in 2016, we didn't know the good ones.
- 00:20:57.682 --> 00:20:59.951
- We didn't know the bad ones.
- 00:20:59.951 --> 00:21:00.885
- He had a lot of great ones.
- 00:21:00.885 --> 00:21:01.886
- Ryder was one of the most transformational.
- 00:21:01.886 --> 00:21:04.923
- You know,
- 00:21:04.923 --> 00:21:06.157
- Administrations in history, there's no question about it.
- 00:21:06.157 --> 00:21:08.393
- Now we know everybody's colors.
- 00:21:08.393 --> 00:21:10.161
- We know who was there during the good times.
- 00:21:10.161 --> 00:21:12.197
- The bad times.
- 00:21:12.197 --> 00:21:12.931
- It was just oil.
- 00:21:12.931 --> 00:21:14.065
- Who was in who was actually america for two, wasn't.
- 00:21:14.065 --> 00:21:17.335
- And honestly, i don't think you could have had
- 00:21:17.335 --> 00:21:18.937
- A more positive things happen.
- 00:21:18.937 --> 00:21:20.338
- So sometimes things happen for a reason.
- 00:21:20.338 --> 00:21:22.607
- Sometimes i think that's god's plan.
- 00:21:22.607 --> 00:21:24.676
- And i have to say, kind of watching
- 00:21:24.676 --> 00:21:26.311
- What's happening right now.
- 00:21:26.311 --> 00:21:27.512
- I don't think he could have happened this way.
- 00:21:27.512 --> 00:21:30.648
- Call in 2021.
- 00:21:31.015 --> 00:21:33.651
- And again, i'm i've never been more proud
- 00:21:33.651 --> 00:21:35.920
- That he's just reprogram the minds of everybody
- 00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.089
- In this country to realize
- 00:21:38.089 --> 00:21:39.991
- How badly we were losing, how badly
- 00:21:39.991 --> 00:21:42.160
- We were being ripped off, and how great american
- 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.562
- Really be, and our unlimited potential.
- 00:21:44.562 --> 00:21:46.965
- And so
- 00:21:46.965 --> 00:21:48.166
- We're going to have the greatest four years of prosperity.
- 00:21:48.166 --> 00:21:49.834
- And, i love him to death. he's my best friend.
- 00:21:49.834 --> 00:21:51.970
- The world and, a a phenomenal guy, a phenomenal leader.
- 00:21:51.970 --> 00:21:55.673
- And, i think somebody who's truly saving this nation.
- 00:21:55.673 --> 00:21:58.343
- I love it, eric.
- 00:21:58.343 --> 00:21:59.277
- Great stuff all around. and agreed 100%.
- 00:21:59.277 --> 00:22:01.646

- 2024 now is the time.
- 00:22:02.881 --> 00:22:05.483
- And it's a new day for sure. eric.
- 00:22:05.483 --> 00:22:07.018
