We're not going to get into many of your comments today, but I had a bunch of people tweeting me yesterday asking me about Don Jr. | ||
and Kimberly Guilfoyle because what was running concurrently or actually rather after the debates, Don Jr. | ||
and Kimberly Guilfoyle were there. I actually didn't see them because they were sitting on the opposite side and behind me. | ||
But I then went into the spin room because I was invited to go to the debates by Vivek Ramaswamy's team. | ||
And the way that it works is that if you are invited by a candidate that is on the stage, you get a special colored pass that allows you to then go into the media room thereafter. | ||
And it's only one person that's permitted. | ||
I was also traveling with my assistant. | ||
She didn't have that colored pass. | ||
And it allows you to see all of the candidates that go in. | ||
And they answer questions and their comms teams answer questions. | ||
So people are asking, what did you think about the fact that Kimberly Guilfoyle and Don Trump Jr. | ||
were not allowed into this room because they threw a fit, a figurative fit, not even figurative, a literal fit, talking about the injustice of not being allowed into the spin room. | ||
Let's take a listen to what they said. | ||
unidentified
|
Right now, trying to ban people from actually having discourse about politics. | |
How un-American. Probably shouldn't surprise any of us. | ||
But that's what it is. I've been told by others that I would be able to go in. | ||
So they said we were able to go in. | ||
Then they said they were in now that we're here. | ||
And the candidate that... | ||
Who said you can't go in the spin room? | ||
They're telling me right now, Fox won't let me into the spin room. | ||
That's what the American people should know. | ||
unidentified
|
They're telling him, he works for security here, but they're telling him that I'm not allowed to go in there. | |
Because the candidates that they've been boosting while simultaneously trying to cut down Trump for the last, what, two years? | ||
Didn't perform as they had hoped. | ||
So they can't have someone who can maybe be a representative of my father. | ||
Just like a few weeks ago when I was cancelled after the first indictment, I was scheduled to go on. | ||
And about five minutes before I'm on, I found out I'm no longer on because apparently I wouldn't be a great surrogate to talk about my father's indictment. | ||
Just so we understand what we're dealing with here. | ||
So it shouldn't surprise any of us. | ||
And it's also why... Trump was 100% right to not go to this debate. | ||
It's beneath him, and when you know that you're walking into a setup because of exactly these kinds of circumstances, you understand exactly what's going on in mainstream media, even conservative. | ||
I like to knock the one side, but I've got to call balls and strikes. | ||
This is no different than what we see from the Democrats. | ||
Okay, I want to be first and foremost very clear that I like Don Trump Jr. | ||
very much. He has always been very good to me. | ||
In fact, when I was starting my career, a lot of the events that I did, just because his name was tied to it, I was able to get a lot of people in through the door who probably would have never heard me or attended otherwise. | ||
I just want to make that very clear, that I'm separating my critique of what he just did here from the person, because Don is actually a phenomenal human being. | ||
But this was bratty and privileged, and it was an unnecessary sidebar. | ||
Let's just get a couple of facts clear. | ||
Donald Trump was invited and he was courted to attend this debate. | ||
He declined to attend the debate. | ||
And by the way, I also want to say I think that was the right decision. | ||
I don't know that there would have been an upside for him. | ||
He was treated very poorly at the last set of debates when everything was actually rigged against him, right? | ||
Had his father had attended these debates, he would have been allowed into the spin room. | ||
That's how it works. You attend the debates. | ||
you're allowed into the spin room. | ||
Suggest that your father can not attend the debates, his own decision making, right, | ||
can also run an interview with Tucker Carlson, which got hundreds of millions of views | ||
at the same time as the debate, and yet should still have his surrogates | ||
allowed into the media spin room, even though they were trying to create | ||
an obvious distraction from the debates by running his interview at the same time. | ||
It's just bratty. It's just bratty. | ||
There's nothing here happened. Kimberly in the background saying, is this un-American? | ||
No, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
It's completely bratty and privileged to suggest that you should still be allowed in this bedroom. | ||
Now, if there's something I'm missing, I'll correct the record. | ||
If he was told by a Fox News person, and he had the actual colored card, | ||
that he was allowed to go in and speak on behalf of his father, | ||
which would be utterly nonsensical if you're Fox News. | ||
And I'm saying this as a business person. | ||
It would be utterly nonsensical to allow that. | ||
When you're trying to keep the focus on the candidates that were on stage, then I will recant my statement. | ||
I'll say I was wrong. I didn't realize that someone had personally texted me and said that. | ||
But what I just saw there was a completely bratty sideshow. | ||
It's hyper-privileged. It's not un-American. | ||
It's a private company. They had their rules. | ||
And it would have been amazing if your father was there. | ||
I actually hope he goes to the next one as the candidate field gets smaller, | ||
because he will love to watch Trump. | ||
I'm actually, you know, I got in very late so I didn't get to watch his interview with Tucker, but I'm going to watch it because I absolutely love Tucker Carlson. | ||
And we obviously know that Donald Trump has a way with communicating with people. | ||
So hearing him talk about issues that the American people care about, seeing that he trumped the GOP debate in terms of all the views, all of that is wonderful. | ||
But let's not make what happened on the Republican debate stage about you guys because it just wasn't. | ||
Alright, if you like this video, you are definitely going to like the full episode even better. |
