  1. “I think they've had it last night was a really good night. I think the week they started off as terrible, it was very sloppy. You know, if you were expecting them to run the country, they couldn't run the convention. I don't think that's enough. They couldn't get things going. They're hours behind. It looked like I'm a mess. Last night was pretty solid, right? I think it was run. It was a big success, a lot of music, a lot of energy. We'll see tonight. I think tonight's going to have, they're going to have more celebrities, more music. Look, these are parties. These are parties for the party. So it's pretty hard to screw it up. So yeah, it's successful. And it's accomplishing. They got to energize their base, keep people happy, get them believing. I think they've accomplished that.”

  2. “You know what's incredible, Alice? So Stephanie, especially, right? I've been around Stephanie a lot. She came, I was already on the campaign in 2016. Stephanie joined. Very nice. She said yesterday or maybe the day before her comments about Trump saying that his supporters are basement dwellers, some negative. I can't remember the exact comment. Basement dwellers, yeah. Listen, I have been around Donald Trump more than Stephanie Grisham has been around Donald Trump in those settings. I mean, in 2016 and 2020, I probably did 30, 40 rallies with President Trump in and around the Pennsylvania. Lots of time with him and supporters. Never one negative comment. If anything, we're driving in the, I've ridden him with him in the beast in the car, right? And he'll say, look at all these people. Look at they're waiting for me here. I can't believe it, right? My supporters are so great, right? All these good things.”

  3. “This. They've been listening on the speaker phone. I've been present when she's on the speaker and it's laughter. It is a great relationship. She's a very protective mother, protective spouse. She hates the game. Just like Michelle Obama hates the game. It's not her life. She married into it, right? She married into it. She's a very look.”

  5. “Oh, he's got tons of friends, but they're not real friends. More peers, I would say. There are more peers, yeah. I mean, yes, yes, he's got a lot of real friends, actually. Mostly guys who golf, right? Who play golf with them that hit the ball around and they're friends, right? I've been in his presence when he's talked to other executives who are his friends, right? People whose names you would recognize, but I'm not at liberty to say who his friends are, but he's got real friends”

  9. “Right. Well, I guarantee if it was today, they'd fight a lot harder and be different. I think it would be. I think it would be because it's a different day. That's 24 years ago. That's ancient history and politics, right? I mean, think about how decorum has changed, right?”

  10. “Number one priority. Number one priority is fixing the way we elect people, right? Because on election night, if you press a button in the state of Florida, remember we had 2,000, it was Gore v. Bush in Florida, and that was the ground zero.”

  11. “It was Malarchy Delargestan. You're not going to die. People took the vaccine, you still got COVID, right? People didn't die. I mean, people died who had the vaccine. So there's trust. Listen, Alistair, the trust in American government has been so degraded. And so listen, go back to an election night in this building, Republicans and Democrats should get together and say, number one priority.”

  12. “To believe anything because they don't trust our government. They don't trust the government anymore because of things like COVID because our governments told them things that, listen, if you don't take this vaccine, you'll die, right? Do the stay inside or you'll die. And now they know that was a bunch of malaria. You will die.”

  13. “Each county has its own rules. There's not even one rule in Pennsylvania. So each county has 67 different election laws in the state of Pennsylvania. There has to be a change in our system in the way we elect people. We definitely agree on that. Because Americans, and this would go a long way in terms of challenging Trump and things like this, right? Because the voters go to bed on election night and they see Donald Trump's up by 10 million votes and they wake up the next morning and Donald Trump's losing by 20 million votes. That erodes confidence in the electoral system, right?”

  14. “Well, no, but I'm saying in Pennsylvania, lots of states, they've changed the rules during COVID and took advantage of those rules, and they played the game much better. At my point to Republicans is we need to play the game better, right? Don't howl the moon, learn how to play the game better. We need to vote by mail. Every time you hear Donald Trump say, I'm against early voting or voting by mail, I yank the few nubs of my hair out of my head because we need to vote by mail. We need to vote. That's what the rules are. So the Democrats are much better. Listen. Alistair, in our country, It is so whacked that we can't have a victor on election night. We'll be people on the moon. We cured pediatric cancer. We do all these incredible things, right? We can't on election night tell you who won the election. It's pathetic”

  15. “I don't think so. I think you can challenge the election. You could challenge it. You could say, I don't think it was fair. So here's why I don't think it was, this is why I think President Trump does not think it's fair and allowed to supporters. During COVID, right, the rules change in America dramatically on how you vote. And the Democrats were poised to exploit those rules. And listen, they were legal. They're legal. They were poised. They proposed most of these rules changes, right?”

  16. “The press corps has changed. America has changed. And I think that takes, you know, from Vietnam on, right? There's been this great distrust in our institutions and government. And I think it's eroded. And people now, everyone has clay feet. And no matter where we go. And I will tell you this. COVID in this country. broke down that trust even further right because i get that because people now trust our government even less and that's scared”

  17. “Well, listen Said he has No rivals. We're going to have the mooch on another. We'll have the mooch on another cast. We'll sit down with the mooch to do. Maybe I'll go with him Caddy K and I'll have another on his show. I think on the Americans no longer, and look, I don't know how I'd say Great Britain, but Americans don't look at their president and say, I need you to be my moral leader, right? You go to your pastor, you go to your big change, though. It is a big change. But, you know, I think that's been a change. That's kind of gone away. Remember, in America, FDR was in a wheelchair for his entire presidency and there's not one picture. There's not one picture of the guy in a wheelchair.”

  19. “No, no. So you're saying, how could Donald Trump exist? Donald Trump couldn't, he couldn't exist, right? But for Bill Clinton, right? If Bill Clinton and John Edwards, who's going to be here today, right? If all these people, Gary Hart, if all these scandals hadn't taken place before, and people kind of said he's guilty.”

  23. “I understand. John Kelly's an honorable man And I have a great deal of respect for him and fondness for John Kelly. I've been with President Trump in those, I was the chairman of the American Battle Monuments Commission. And that may not have a lot of meaning to most people, but I ran all the cemeteries overseas. So Cambridge American Cemetery I've been to, right? In your beautiful country, in Serenz and France and Normandy, I greeted President Macron and President Trump at the 75th anniversary of D-Day. I've been there. I walk those grades with him. Not once, not once did he ever say those things to me. I took him to West Point, my alma mater. I'm a military officer myself. West Point, duty-honored country. I've been around the guy a great deal. Around me in my presence, he's never expressed anything but ultimate admiration for people in the military in the utmost respect. So maybe he said that to somebody else, or maybe he's made a comment that somebody mistook for that. I was not in that one-on-one. I will 100% unequivocally stand by Trump loving the military, supporting the military, and not.”

The Medal of Freedom has given out to artists, athletes, James Taylor gets the Medal of Freedom, Stevie Wonder, who's performing here this afternoon. I just saw him performing. And so the Medal of Honor, right, is the highest military award you can be given. Completely two separate things, right? The medal of what Trump said, and I was with him. I was with him on Saturday and talked to him about this literally one-on-one. I said, explain this to me. And I said, he said to me, well, David, when you give out the Medal of Honor to somebody, it's a really somber occasion. Somebody's usually dead. The military person is usually dead because it's spinning.”

  28. “Can you? Listen, I believe Donald Trump represents the values of here's the values I believe he represents, and it's a kind of a Rorschach tact, just like it is for Kamal Harris, right? So you see in your elected official, you see in your politicians what you want to see. Kamala Harris, her policy positions to date have been incredibly progressive, right? Gun confiscation, right? So listen, no, the same thing. Listen, Alice, I'm going to tell you. If you look at her policy positions, people say, well, she stands for this. We don't know what she stands for. She hasn't told us what she stands for.”

You might not be able to afford breakfast with your kids. That's why those things matter. That's why these inflationary policies, the tax code, policies that you say like Harris campaign just said they support $5 trillion in new taxes. Money comes from someplace, right? It comes from your pocket, my pocket. The people in the Republican Party believe that money is better in my pocket than the government's pocket. I can spend it better. Businesses can invest it better.”

  30. “There's a restaurant here in America. But listen, there's a restaurant here in America, Alis, called Denny's. Denny's is like a breakfast joint, right? So Denny's in 1977 instituted this breakfast in honor of Hank Ayron, a famous baseball player called the Grand Slam Breakfast, okay? When the Grand Slam breakfast was introduced, it was $1.99, bacon and eggs and some potatoes, right? And so in the 43 years, it went up $4 to $5.99. And the Biden administration, in the four years of the Biden administration, it went up $6.6 in four years to $12.99 for that breakfast. Now, that doesn't seem like, okay, what does that matter? Here's why it matters. If you're taking your kids to soccer on a Saturday,”

  31. “I and others in our country believe that what's in this building represents worse, worse for America. Not worse people. Yeah, policy. The people aren't bad. Everybody in this building wants the same thing that I want. A successful America, a better future for their kids and grandchildren, a stable economy, our allies, our friends, our enemies to be feared, right? Everybody wants the same thing that you and I want for your country, our country. How we get there is something completely different, right? And so those policy differences are why I support Donald Trump and the Republicans, right? Because Donald Trump is a Republican. There are people in his building, or colleagues of mine that are friends, Jeff Duncan and Adam Kinsinger and others who are Democrats, Republicans, who say we need to burn the party down to start over again. We need to go and help these folks. I don't believe the Kamala Harris's economic policies that she's espousing on price.”

So listen, he is truthful hyperbole guy, right? So he said, that's his tagline, right? So it's truthful hyperbole. Listen, if I brought Donald Trump to any town in England and sat him down in a pub, every person in there would want to have a pint with him when they left, they would say, this is one of the most interesting men and I would vote for him. I'm not saying.”

And this is why, no, and this is why Donald Trump is popular, right?”

  38. “Oh, he does care about the people. Listen, I spend a great deal of time with him. Even this past Saturday, as I shared with you, I was with him this past Saturday in Wilkes Bay, Pennsylvania, kind of, you know, a place that once was mighty, right? And has hoped to be mighty again. I watched him talk to more police and firefighters about their lives, their jobs. Thank you for doing what you do for our community, our country. Talk to one of the secret service agents that helped save his life, a woman who's gone on maternity leave. I mean, I've seen him as a human being care about people one-on-one. He's not reduced to some caricature or cartoon figure when I'm around him, right? It's easy to say things about people you don't really know. I've fortunately been up close. But do I wish he'd talk about things differently? Do I wish this today in North Carolina? He was talking about the abysmal jobs report that's out, right? The job support that just came out today, 818,000 jobs that we revised the report, okay, for the past year from 2023 to 2024 to today, the Biden administration.”

  39. “Well, no, I don't know if you handle badly. If you look at Operation Warp Speed, right, the US government jumped through incredible hoops to produce a vaccine that helped stop the spread of the bleach. No, no, that's not even factually correct. If I had Daniel Dale, listen, I'll get you the facts. I'll give you the facts now. I'm going to have Daniel Dale sit with us and fact checked. Listen, so under the Trump administration, they got a vaccine. It kept businesses open. Look, if you look at how New York handled COVID and how Florida handled COVID, the number of fatalities are exactly the same, right? And one shut everything down, kept kids out of school, harm kids long-term education.”

He says things that they would say to other people if they could, people in power, if they could, if they had a voice. So he's tapped into the zeitgeist of that group.”

  42. “This one befuddles up liberal elites in London and New York because you don't understand the rest of the country, right? I wish Alex, I wish I could take you in a car, take you to my hometown, Alaquipa, Pennsylvania, right? Blue collar, you know, once great milltown, a factory town, 15,000 people used to work there, right? Where my dad worked at a factory. So my dad, when he graduated from high school in the mid, early 50s, if you had a strong back and a good work ethic, you could go down to the factory and get a job and raise your family and have a life all kind of went away. And that hope went away. And so there are people in America and Alaquoba, Pennsylvania, Annapolis, North Carolina, and Flint, Michigan, lots of places in our country that had kind of lost hope that felt that nobody in the political class was listening to them. He doesn't listen to them. No, no, he doesn't listen, Alistair. He does. People feel like they speak for him. People feel in America.”
