=== Interviewing Donald Trump (02:03) ===

[00:00:00]  What was the feeling like when you sat in Trump's presence and interviewed him for the first time?
[00:00:06]  What did you do?
[00:00:07]  I was very, very nervous.
[00:00:08]  Me?
[00:00:09]  I would too.
[00:00:10]  And I had my questions written.
[00:00:12]  There's your picture.
[00:00:14]  That's right.
[00:00:15]  And you can see he's 6'3 and I'm 5'8.
[00:00:20]  I didn't really know if he was that big.
[00:00:22]  I mean, on TV, you don't always have a perspective.
[00:00:24]  And next to Alvita, he must be like even like this.
[00:00:29]  Yes, sir.
[00:00:30]  But I had interviewed him in a kind of a back, you know, kind of, it wasn't really a green room, but, you know, back at a convention center.
[00:00:37]  Right.
[00:00:38]  And CBN had interviewed him right before me.
[00:00:40]  I wanted to get my questions right.
[00:00:42]  And I'd never really told anybody until that DVD this story.
[00:00:46]  But I know Governor Huckabee well enough to have his email address.
[00:00:51]  And I don't email him very often, but when it's important, and I told him I had an interview with Donald Trump.
[00:00:56]  He was supporting Donald Trump at that point.
[00:00:58]  Could you give me some suggestions?
[00:01:00]  Well, guess what?
[00:01:00]  My first three questions came from Mike Huckabee.
[00:01:03]  Of course, I didn't tell anyone.
[00:01:05]  And I also asked, I thought, oh, this is a good idea.
[00:01:09]  So I had occasion to talk to Kenneth Copeland, and he gave me a couple of questions, too.
[00:01:13]  So we went right through the questions.
[00:01:14]  I had my paper.
[00:01:16]  I read it word for word.
[00:01:17]  I wasn't sure I'd say it right.
[00:01:19]  He was very gracious.
[00:01:21]  We recorded it.
[00:01:22]  We did it as a podcast.
[00:01:23]  People can go on charismapodcastnetwork.com and listen to it.
[00:01:27]  And I had occasion to listen to it recently, and he was actually fairly soft-spoken.
[00:01:33]  He seemed very sincere.
[00:01:34]  He did not seem arrogant at all.
[00:01:36]  I was a little bit surprised because, you know, you see him on TV and at the rallies and everything else.
[00:01:41]  But he's a really nice guy.
[00:01:42]  And, you know, that picture that you showed, I had told, I took two staff with me and I told him, we only have 10 minutes.
[00:01:49]  We're not going to waste time with pictures.
[00:01:51]  But we got done a minute or two early and he said, you want a picture with us?
[00:01:54]  Well, I'm glad he said that.
[00:01:57]  Why did he say that?
[00:01:57]  He didn't have to.
[00:01:58]  No.
[00:01:59]  He could have gone on to whatever it was.
[00:02:00]  He just did it to be nice.
[00:02:02]  And I don't think it was just me.
