“But hold on. He uses different terms for men for men and women. I mean, he'll say that wacky congresswoman, he called, I think, Mika Brzezinski, wacky as well. That's not a term he uses for men.”

“To have to travel because of actual death threats, because of actual death threats. Yeah, and I get weird things at work sent to me at work that people couldn't explain coming from random places, untrackable things, it seemed. And so there was a lot of concern about my safety. And my parents were certainly concerned about my safety. But to bring it back to where we started, I think the reason why I didn't really I was able to compartmentalize it and able to just kind of move past it and not think about it too much, not let it get in the way of my reporting is that my parents did this.”

“So when the rally was over, a Trump staffer came up to me and said, These guys are going to walk you out and pointed out to guys from Secret Service to walk me to my car because it was a pitch black walk down a gangway to my car, which was parked with all of the other Trump supporters. And then my phone, once again, going nuts, people, you know, defending me and then also other people telling me what a horrible person I am.”

“Furious about it about this because he cannot look weak. So furious at me already tweeted about how I should be fired. My phone is already, you know, ablaze with people telling me that I'm a terrible person, telling me that I deserve to die. And so I am sitting in this rally on the riser, but I'm sitting down. I'm trying not to be stand out. Something did not feel safe. And then he says, little Katie, Katie Tur, she's back there. And he points me out. And the entire room, we're in the belly of a warship. The entire room turns around and booze and screams and calls me names men are standing on chairs, and I think to myself just smile and wave. Because what are you going to do? I mean, how are you going to diffuse the situation? You smile and wave, you make it seem like it's all part of an act.”

“That happened to be in this country. So there was a lot of anger. Donald Trump walks into this room. And he's whipping up this crowd. And before he gets to the Muslim band, and he basically is saying the media is complicit in this because we're not reporting it. So the media is putting your life at risk, dear voter. And so he takes the stage. And the crowd is angry and he looks angry. And before he goes to the Muslim band, he goes on a riff about the press. And then he goes on a riff about me in particular. He's angry because of tweets I sent a few nights earlier where I talked about protesters interrupting his rally and forcing him to abruptly end his rally speech, which happened. Which happened.”

“We are at a rally in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. And this is right after San Bernardino had happened where that couple had murdered a bunch of people in an office party. President Obama the day before Donald Trump made this announcement, had done a speech on terrorism. And then Donald Trump comes out and says, I'm going to ban Muslims because we don't know what the heck is going on. The administration in power is not properly vetting people. There are Muslims in your neighborhood hiding other Muslims who are making bombs in their living rooms and they're out to get you, the American people. Republican voters at the time felt like the biggest thing that they feared was being the victim of terror. Republican voters, majority of Republican voters felt this way. So we are in a press pen in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. We have just spoken to a number of supporters, none of whom were bothered by this idea. They all welcomed it. The harshest criticism we got was, I have to think about this. Others were saying we should deport almost.”

“It's just. So go back to the point of Cara race. So you're getting me into my daily struggles. So you didn't personalize it as what you're saying. So I tried not to personalize it. Despite how personal he made it. So he would call me out all the time. I was used to it. The time that was really scary was the day of the Muslim band when he announced that he didn't want any Muslims to come to the country.”

I remembered my parents. But it's just the way we grew up. So he would call me out a lot. And yeah, you're right. We were in a pen. It's not unusual to be in an enclosed area if you're in the press because that's where you put your equipment. It was unusual because they wouldn't let us out. And then he would point us out and get the entire room.”

“And after those moments, I mean, our listeners who are not political experts may not realize that you go to these political events and rallies and they put the press, they put us in essentially what in the Trump campaign became called the pen. And you're sort of cordoned off from the rest of the folks. Sometimes you can sneak around and talk to actual real people, but they put you in a single place. Donald Trump used to point to the press pen frequently. Look at that scum and call you out.”

“You know, he's leading in this poll or that, or he's moderating his tone. This was mostly early on in the campaign. Listen, I always the one saying on TV that his supporters don't care, that he's got a real chance of winning. I was always that person. And he said that. I'm sure that pleased him to a degree, but I was also always the person who would call him out when he wasn't telling the truth. I was always the person who would fact check him immediately after a speech. And sometimes those fact-checks would go on for minutes and minutes and minutes where I just, I would just read all of the things that he said and tell you all of the reasons why they were not true. I didn't sugarcoat anything. I wasn't going to be cowed by personality, by his bullying, or by his charm.”

“I think my parents are pretty good. Pretty exciting good expectations for me. I don't think that they're surprised. I think they're proud. I hope they're proud. So journalism. Their lives for their journalism. And I say that because after the Reginald Denny beating, after they shot that video and then testified against the gang members who tried to kill Reginald Denny, they got death threats. And, you know, they also called out the LAPD at the time saying the LAPD had abandoned the city during the riots. So they were nobody's friend for a little while from the LDC because they saw it. So they weren't afraid of speaking truth to power. They weren't afraid of saying something that would put their life at risk. They felt like it was the right thing to do. So that's how I understood journalism, that it was worthy of risking everything for.”

“I lived in the helicopter. That's awesome. I lived in the helicopter. I was so comfortable in the helicopter. My dad was covering the rose parade. I was four or five or something. And he was doing radio reports. And I got up out of my seat, took my seatbelt off, opened the door of the helicopter, which is a complicated thing for anybody, let alone a four or five-year-old, and just wanted to see the floats better. So I just looked outside. And remember, I'd always seen my mom with the door open. And my dad, and I'm not wearing a seatbelt, I'm just standing there in a helicopter hundreds of feet above the ground. My dad said he almost had a heart attack because he's flying.”

They were the ones hovering over the corner of Florence and Normandy during the LA riots when Reginald Denny, the red gravel truck driver, got pulled from his truck, the cab of his truck, and beaten to within an inch.

“My parents started Los Angeles News Service in the 80s. My dad convinced a helicopter company to lease some helicopter when he was like 24 or something. And they started covering Los Angeles News from the air. Police pursuits, fires, shootings, anything that you could see from a helicopter in Los Angeles, which is good because Los Angeles is a giant place. My mom would hang out in the helicopter and shoot the video. And my dad would fly and report. So they popularized the live police chase on television. They popularized reporting from the air. They have shot and reported on some of the most famous images, scenes from Los Angeles during the 90s especially.”

“He'll do whatever is going to he needs to do to get himself elected. He'll move towards the middle. But it became very clear that he didn't want to do that because the stuff that got the loudest cheers were the personal attacks. It was the vitriol. It was the anger. It was the outrageous comment.

And there was this sense among a lot of mainstream businessmen, for instance, who thought, well, he's picked out specific populations and appealed to them with specific coded racism words or coded women issues or whatever it was, that he's speaking in code to get elected to certain segments of the population. But once he gets there, it's going to be different. Once he gets there, he's going to be very mainstream. He's going to be a good businessman and the like.
