>> NOT BEFORE CLEVELAND OR IN
CLEVELAND.
>> HOW DOES HE GET THERE?
>> ALL OF THE NORTHEAST, UPS THE
DELEGATE GAME WITH MANAFORT.
HE DOES GET TO 1,237.
>> IF YOU MISSED ANY OF OUR TOWN
>>> GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME. IT'S A BIG NIGHT.
A TOWN HALL NIGHT HERE AGAIN.
JOHN KASICH AND HIS FAMILY LAST NIGHT.
RIGHT NOW DONALD TRUMP AND MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY.
REPUBLICAN FRONT-RUNNER
ANSWERING TO NEW YORK VOTERS
EXACTLY ONE WEEK BEFORE THE PRIMARY. >> TONIGHT, HE'S ON HIS HOME
TURF.
>> THIS IS HOME.
IT'S GREAT TO BE HOME.
>> AND NOW AFTER A WISCONSIN
THUMPING, CAMPAIGN CHANGES, AND
A WEEK OF BAD HEADLINES, DONALD
TRUMP IS LOOKING TO GET HIS
CAMPAIGN BACK TO ITS WINNING WAYS.
>> I LOVE THESE PEOPLE.
THESE ARE MY PEOPLE.
MAN.
>> HE'S BACK.
RECHARGING THE BATTERIES AND
ZAPPING HIS RIVAL.
>> IT'S L-Y-I-N' LYIN' TED.
>> THAT'S NOT ALL HE'S SPELLING
OUT.
>> IT'S A FIX.
>> BLASTING THE WHOLE DELEGATE
BALL GAME.
>> IT'S A CROOKED, CROOKED SYSTEM.
>> SO NOW THAT HE'S FACING A
CONTEST AT THE CONVENTION IN
CLEVELAND, NOT A CORONATION, CAN
HIS CAMPAIGN ADAPT?
AND WILL THE FAMILY NAME GIVE
THAT CAMPAIGN THE BOOST IT NEEDS?
>> I'VE GOT SO MANY FAMILY
MEMBERS HERE TODAY. LOOK AT THAT.
BOY, OH BOY.
MY SONS AND MY DAUGHTER.
DID IVANKA DO A GOOD JOB?
>> THIS IS AN "ANDERSON COOPER
360" CNN REPUBLICAN TOWN HALL.
CANDIDATES AND THEIR FAMILIES.
VOTERS SEEKING ANSWERS BEFORE
MAKING A CHOICE THAT COULD MAKE
HISTORY.
>> NATIONAL SIRIUS XM SATELLITE
RADIO CHANNEL 116 AND THE
WESTWOOD 1 RADIO NETWORK,
WELCOME TO ALL OF YOU.
WE ARE HERE WITH DONALD TRUMP,
HIS WIFE, MELANIA, DAUGHTERS
IVANKA AND TIFFANY, AND SONS
ERIC AND DONALD JR. WILL BE
JOINING US SHORTLY.
IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT,
REPUBLICANS ALL FROM NEW YORK. THEY CAME UP WITH THE QUESTIONS
THEY'LL ASK TONIGHT.
WE REVIEWED THEM TO MAKE SURE
THEY DON'T OVERLAP.
I'M GOING TO ASK THE CANDIDATE A
FEW QUESTIONS, MYSELF, AS WELL.
THIS IS A CHANCE FOR VOTERS TO
HEAR AT LENGTH FROM THE
CANDIDATES AND THE FIRST TIME
THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO THEM.
BEFORE I BRING OUT THE FAMILY, I
WANT TO START WITH DONALD TRUMP.
THANKS VERY MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. >> THANK YOU.
>> BIG DAY FOR YOU.
GOT VERY GOOD NEWS.
YOU WERE CERTIFIED TODAY THE
WINNER OF THE MISSOURI PRIMARY.
PICKED UP ANOTHER 12 DELEGATES.
GREAT POLLING NUMBERS FOR YOU.
NEW YORK 1 BROOK COLLEGE POLL,
60% IN NEW YORK, WAY AHEAD OF
ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES AND EVEN THE QUINNIPIAC POLL HAD YOU
AROUND 55%. >> GREAT.
>> WAY AHEAD.
YOU GOT SOME GOOD NEWS.
YOU'VE BEEN VERY CRITICAL OF
WHAT HAPPENED IN COLORADO.
I WANT TO READS OUT ONLY OF THE
THINGS YOU SAID.
YOU SAID THE NOMINATING SYSTEM
IN COLORADO IS, QUOTE, RIGGED, DISGUSTING, AND DIRTY.
YOU CALLED IT A CORRUPT DEAL
FULL OF CROOKED SHENANIGANS.
TED CRUZ IS SAYING YOU'RE JUST
BEING A WHINER.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE RULES ARE
THE RULES.
DIDN'T YOU JUST GET OUTPLAYED ON
THE GROUND?
>> NO.
I DON'T THINK SO.
LOOK, FIRST OF ALL, YOU AND I
WATCHED TED CRUZ AND I WATCHED
HIM VERY STRONGLY SAY, WELL,
HE'S BEEN WINNING, BUT, YOU
KNOW, I'VE WON 22 STATES AND
HE'S WON 10 AND WE'RE REALLY WAY
UP IN VOTES, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS
OF THE VOTERS WHICH TO ME IS VERY IMPORTANT BUT IT'S NEVER
TALKED.
I'M MILLIONS OF VOTES AHEAD OF
HIM, AND AS YOU KNOW, I'M
HUNDREDS OF DELEGATES AHEAD OF
HIM BUT THE COLORADO THING WAS
VERY, VERY UNFAIR AND I THOUGHT
LOUISIANA WAS VERY UNFAIR.
I WON LOUISIANA.
I WON IT EASILY.
>> THE POPULAR VOTE.
>> HE GOT THE POPULAR VOTE.
BECAUSE OF ALL HIS SHENANIGANS
THAT GOES ON.
>> YOU CALL THEM SHENANIGANS.
THOSE ARE THE RULES.
>> I KNOW THE RULES VERY WELL, BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S STACKED
AGAINST ME BY THE ESTABLISHMENT. I FULLY UNDERSTAND IT.
WE HAD PEOPLE OUT THERE AND THEY WEREN'T HURT.
THEN, IN FACT, TODAY WHEN IT WAS
ANNOUNCED THE NUMBERS WERE
ANNOUNCED, THEY PUT OUT
SOMETHING ON TWITTER SAYING, OH,
WE STOPPED TRUMP, ESSENTIALLY,
WE STOPPED TRUMP.
THAT WAS PUT OUT BY THE PARTY IN COLORADO.
THE POINT IS IT WAS STACKED AGAINST US.
NOW --
>> BUT YOU --
>> WE'VE WON OUR SHARE.
>> YOU COULD HAVE HAD A BETTER
ORGANIZATION ON THE GROUND. A LOT OF THE FOLKS --
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD HAVE
MATTERED BECAUSE IT WAS TOTALLY
SET IN STONE AND THAT'S THE WAY
IT WAS.
YOU SAW REPUBLICANS THAT WANTED
TO GO AND WANTED TO BE TRUMP
DELEGATES AND THEY'RE BURNING
THEIR CARD ON THE INTERNET.
>> A LOT OF TIME, A LOT OF
ORGANIZATION, GOING OUT,
REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO BE DELEGATES TO RUN IN
THE PROCESS.
I MEAN, IT WAS A WHOLE ELECTORAL
PROCESS TO GET DELEGATES.
>> ANDERSON, WE HAD DELEGATES
THERE, A LOT OF DELEGATES AND
THEY WERE NOT HEARD BECAUSE THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY OUT THERE WAS
100% PROBABLY CONTROLLED BY THE
RNC WHICH MAYBE DOESN'T LIKE
THIS HAPPENING BECAUSE I'M A
SELF-FUNDER, I'M PUTTING UP MY OWN MONEY.
THEY DON'T LIKE WHEN I PUT UP MY
OWN MONEY BECAUSE IT MEANS THEY
DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OF ME
BECAUSE I'M WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE.
I'M DOING FOR THE PEOPLE.
AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TALK
ABOUT WINNING, I'VE WON MOST OF
IT AND I'M NOT COMPLAINING.
FRANKLY, THERE ARE COUPLE THAT I
WON THAT HE'S COMPLAINING ABOUT.
I WON -- YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN
WINNING FAR MORE THAN ANYBODY
ELSE.
>> YOU TALK ABOUT THE RNC, REINCE PRIEBUS, HEAD OF THE RNC
TWEETED YESTERDAY, SAID "THE
RULES WERE SET LAST YEAR.
NOTHING MYSTERIOUS. NOTHING NEW.
THE RULES HAVE NOT CHANGED.
THE RULES ARE THE CHANGE. NOTHING DIFFERENT."
>> ANDERSON, THEY CHANGED THE
RULES A NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO. THE PEOPLE IN --
>> ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AGO.
>> WELL, IT'S NOT VERY LONG AGO.
>> YOU HAD A LOT OF TIME TO
PREPARE --
>> THEY SAW HOW I WAS DOING AND THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT.
SAME THING IN FLORIDA.
NOW, I WON FLORIDA IN A LAND
SLIDE, RIGHT?
BUT THEY CHANGED THE RULES SO
THAT THE WINNER GETS ALL BECAUSE
THEY THOUGHT JEB BUSH WAS GOING
TO WIN.
HE'S THE FORMER GOVERNOR, OF
MARCO RUBIO WAS GOING TO WIN.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FIRST
POLL CAME OUT AND TRUMP WAS
LEADING BY A LOT AND SAID, WHAT
ARE WE GOING TO DO, WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO DO? BECAUSE THAT WAS DONE SO I
WOULDN'T GET ANY DELEGATES. THEN I WON IN A LANDSLIDE AND I
GOT ALL THE DELEGATES.
SOMETIMES IT WORKS TO MY
ADVANTAGE.
BUT COLORADO IS UNFORTUNATE
BECAUSE THEY DISENFRANCHISED THE VOTERS.
THEY DISENFRANCHISED ALL OF
THESE VOTERS --
>> YOU'RE SAYING YOU DON'T THINK
THE RNC WANTS YOU TO GET THE
NOMINATION?
>> NO, I DON'T THINK SO. I REALLY DON'T.
>> YOU THINK THEY'RE ACTIVELY WORKING AGAINST YOU?
>> I DON'T SEE IT.
IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE 15 MILES OF
PROOF BUT CERTAINLY THEY SHOULD
WANT TO HAVE A VOTE OF THE
PEOPLE OF COLORADO.
THE PEOPLE OF COLORADO -- I WOULD HAVE WON.
I WON SO MANY OF THE VOTES.
I MEAN, THE VOTING HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL.
THAT'S WHY I'VE WON SO MANY MORE
STATES THAN TED CRUZ AND KASICH.
>> DOES IT SAY, THOUGH, SOMETHING ABOUT -- OKAY.
YOU DISAGREE WITH THE PROCESS AS
IT WAS IN COLORADO BUT YOU HAD
MONTHS TO PREPARE.
DOES IT SAY SOMETHING -- YOUR
CRITICS SAY IT SAYS SOMETHING
ABOUT YOUR LEADERSHIP ABILITY,
FOR SOMEBODY WHO TOUTS HIMSELF
AS SOMEBODY WHO'S AN
ORGANIZATIONAL GENIUS, WHO'S
CREATED THIS AMAZING BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION, THAT YOU COULDN'T
CREATE AN ORGANIZATION ON THE
GROUND THAT CAN BEAT TED CRUZ'S ORGANIZATION.
>> NUMBER ONE, I STARTED WITH A
$1 MILLION LOAN. I BUILT A $10 BILLION COMPANY.
IT'S A PHENOMENAL COMPANY. >> IS THE BUSINESS ORGANIZATION
THE SAME AS A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION?
>> A LOT OF SIMILARITIES.
IN THIS CASE, I'VE WON MOST OF IT. YOU CAN SAY, WHAT ABOUT
ORGANIZATION?
WELL, HOW COME I'M LEADING BY
HUNDREDS OF DELEGATES, HOW COME
I'M LEADING BY MILLIONS OF VOTES?
REMEMBER THIS, I WAS SUPPOSED TO LOSE SOUTH CAROLINA.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO LOSE TO BUSH,
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO LOSE THE ENTIRE SOUTH.
I WON VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING IN
THE SOUTH. I LOOK AT YOUR BOARD, I MEAN,
IT'S ALL MY COLOR, WHATEVER THAT COLOR IS.
I GUESS IT'S SORT OF A SEMI-PURPLE.
NOT THE NICEST COLOR, BUT THAT'S
OKAY.
BUT I WON THE ENTIRE SOUTH.
I WON FLORIDA.
I COULD SAY THEY HAVE A BAD ORGANIZATION BECAUSE CRUZ WAS
SUPPOSED TO WIN ALABAMA,
ARKANSAS, HE WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN KENTUCKY.
HE LOST ALL OF THEM.
HE LOST FLORIDA.
THE POINT IS, I MEAN, IF YOU TALK ABOUT THAT, I CAN SAY,
WELL, IF MY ORGANIZATION'S NOT
SO GOOD, HOW COME I'VE WON MANY
MORE STATES THAN HIM AND
MILLIONS OF VOTES?
>> I JUST WANT TO READ YOU WHAT
COREY GARDNER, A REPUBLICAN
SENATOR FROM COLORADO SAID.
HE'S REALLY ANNOYED AT WHAT
YOU'VE BEEN SAYING.
>> HE'S A MEMBER OF THE
ESTABLISHMENT.
>> YOU'RE INSULTING THESE
DELEGATES WHO RAN WHO ARE REGULAR PEOPLE.
>> I'M INSULTING THE SYSTEM.
THE SYSTEM IS NOT A GOOD SYSTEM.
>> HE SAYS "HOW ON EARTH ARE YOU
GOING TO DEFEAT ISIS IF YOU
CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE COLORADO
GOP CONVENTION?" >> WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT.
IT'S STACKED AGAINST US.
HOW COME MY PEOPLE WENT THERE, DELEGATES, GREAT DELEGATES,
THEY'RE ALL OVER THE INTERNET
BURNING UP THEIR REPUBLICAN
CARD. HOW COME --
>> HOW DOES THAT STACK AGAINST YOU?
>> BECAUSE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
IN COLORADO WANTED CRUZ OR MAYBE
THEY WANTED SOMEBODY OTHER THAN
TRUMP.
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY REALLY
WANTS CRUZ. WHY WOULD THEY WANT HIM?
THERE'S NO REASON TO WANT HIM. BUT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WANTED
SOMEBODY OTHER THAN TRUMP.
AND YOU KNOW, THE FUNNY THING, I
AM THE ONLY ONE THAT'S GOING TO BEAT HILLARY CLINTON ASSUMING
SHE RUNS, ASSUMING SHE GETS OUT
OF HER PROBLEM WHICH SHE
PROBABLY WILL BECAUSE THAT'S A
SYSTEM THAT'S BAD, TOO.
I'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER EXAMPLE.
I'M NO FAN OF BERNIE SANDERS.
I'M NO FAN AT ALL.
TO ME, HE'S -- FORGET IT.
EVERY TIME I TURN ON, HE'S
WINNING, HE'S WINNING.
EVERY -- WEEK AFTER WEEK, HE
WINS, HE WINS, HE WINS, HE WINS.
THEN I WATCH YOU AND ALL OF THE
PUNDITS, THEY SAY, BUT HE CAN'T
WIN.
YOU KNOW WHY? IT'S STACKED AGAINST HIM.
IT REALLY IS.
IT'S STACKED AGAINST HIM.
IN HIS CASE, IT'S
SUPERDELEGATES, IN MY CASE IT'S THE OBVIOUS.
BUT IT'S STACKED AGAINST --
>> YOU SAID IN THE PAST IF YOU
WEREN'T BEING TREATED FAIRLY,
YOU'D CONSIDER A THIRD PARTY RUN.
IS THAT SOMETHING STILL ON THE
TABLE?
>> IT'S SOMETHING I DON'T WANT
TO DO.
LOOK, I'M WINNING BY A LOT.
BASED ON THE NUMBERS YOU JUST
GAVE ME FROM NEW YORK I'M
LEADING BY MORE THAN 40 POINTS
>> A GOOD CHANCE OF PICKING UP ALL THE DELEGATES.
>> EVERYBODY ELSE FLEW TOWN. CRUZ LEFT TOWN.
HE TALKED ABOUT NEW YORK VALUES
LIKE YOU AND I AND EVERYBODY
ELSE, WE KNOW ABOUT NEW YORK
VALUES WHEN WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THE WORLD TRADE CENTER AND
HOW INCREDIBLE NEW YORK WAS.
SO I THINK HE LEFT TOWN.
I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO COME
BACK.
BUT I'M WINNING NEW YORK.
I THINK I'LL DO GREAT IN NEW
JERSEY.
I'LL DO GREAT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
I'LL DO GREAT IN CONNECTICUT.
RHODE ISLAND IS GREAT.
MARYLAND.
I MEAN, I GOT A LOT OF STATES
WHERE THEY KNOW ME.
THE NICE THING IS THE STATES
THAT KNOW ME ARE THE ONES THAT I
REALLY DO WELL IN. LIKE FLORIDA.
THEY KNOW ME IN FLORIDA. I WON IN A LANDSLIDE.
>> ONE OF THE KNOCKS ON YOU, YOU
DISAGREE WITH IT, YOU HAVEN'T
GIVEN A LOT OF SPECIFICS TO SOME
OF YOUR POLICIES.
YOUR CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN SAYING, I THINK IT WAS LAST WEEK THEY
STARTED SAYING YOU WERE GOING TO
START PUTTING OUT VERY SPECIFIC POLICY PRONOUNCEMENTS.
>> I'M GOING TO START DOING
THAT, YES.
I DID ONE AT AIPAC ABOUT CONCERNING ISRAEL AND IT WAS MET
WITH RAVES.
YOU EVEN SAID IT WAS GOOD. I DID ONE ON -- I'M GOING TO BE
DOING PROBABLY TEN OVER THE NEXT
TWO MONTHS. >> YOU KNOW WHEN THE NEXT ONE IS
GOING TO BE, WHAT THE TOPIC IS GOING TO BE?
>> I'D SAY EARLY NEXT WEEK. >> DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE TOPIC
WILL BE? >> WE'RE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT
ONES. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT UNITY IN
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BECAUSE I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE MILITARY.
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT
NATO. WHEN I TALKED ABOUT NATO LAST
WEEK -- IDENTIFY BEEN BUILDING BUILDINGS ALL MY LIFE AND DOING
DEALS ALL MY LIFE.
IT'S OBSOLETE.
EVERYONE IS RIPPING US OFF.
28 COUNTRIES.
THEY'RE RIPPING US OFF.
IT'S OBSOLETE.
A SOVIET UNION THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
RUSSIA IS PLENTY STRONG.
IT DOESN'T COVER TERROR.
IF IT DOES COVER TERROR, THE
WRONG COUNTRIES ARE IN.
>> YOU SAY IT'S OBSOLETE.
>> OF COURSE IT'S OBSOLETE.
IT WAS DONE 68 YEARS AGO AND
HASN'T CHANGED.
EXPERTS ON NATO SAY TRUMP IS RIGHT.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO STUDY
IT.
>> YOU GAVE AN INTERVIEW TO "USA TODAY" TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLE
VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICKS.
YOU DID SAY YOU WOULD LIKE --
YOU NAME MARCO RUBIO, YOU NAME
JOHN KASICH.
YOU EVEN NAMED SCOTT WALKER.
>> I SAID THEY'RE PEOPLE I LIKE. >> RIGHT.
>> HERE'S THE PROBLEM. I'VE BEATEN THEM VERY, VERY
HARSHLY.
WALKER WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN.
RIGHT AFTER I STARTED ON HIM, HE WANT BACK TO WISCONSIN, OKAY?
>> AND HE ENDORSED SENATOR CRUZ. >> OF COURSE HE DID.
I DIDN'T ASK HIM FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. HOW COULD I ASK HIM FOR AN
ENDORSEMENT? I WAS THE ONE WHO GOT HIM OUT.
JEB BUSH THE SAME THING.
MARCO THE SAME THING.
I CAN'T IMAGINE THEY LIKE ME TOO MUCH.
>> WHEN YOU'RE SAYING YOU LIKE
THEM AS POTENTIAL VICE PRESIDENTS OR --
>> I LIKE THEM AS PEOPLE.
I LIKE THEM AS PEOPLE.
NOW, COULD THEY BE INVOLVED IN
SOME FORM IN THE GOVERNMENT?
YEAH. ABSOLUTELY I THINK THEY COULD.
I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK FOR A
VICE PRESIDENT.
>> IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY
ARE ALL SORT OF, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD ARGUE ESTABLISHMENT-TYPE
CANDIDATES.
IS THAT -- WHOEVER YOU WOULD PICK FOR A VICE PRESIDENT, WE'VE
TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, IS
THAT WHAT YOU WOULD LOOK FOR, SOMEBODY WHO WITH POLITICAL
EXPERIENCE ON THE GROUND IN
WASHINGTON, ESSENTIALLY A
WASHINGTON PLAYER WHO CAN HELP
YOU WITH CONGRESS? >> YES.
>> WITHOUT A DOUBT?
>> I'M A BUSINESS GUY.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE GREAT DEALS ON TRADE.
IT'S RIGHT IN MY WHEELHOUSE.
WE'RE GOING HAVE A STRONG
MILITARY, REBUILD OUR MILITARY.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF HEALTH CARE.
I'M GOING TO DO SO WELL WITH SO
MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
I WANT HAVE SOMEBODY WHO CAN
DEAL WITH CONGRESS, THAT GETS
ALONG WITH CONGRESS, THAT'S A
WASHINGTON PERSON.
>> CAN YOU NAME ONE?
>> I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT NOW.
I THINK IT'S INAPPROPRIATE.
I THINK IT'S THE WRONG TIME.
I DO HAVE PEOPLE IN MIND.
I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE -- LOOK,
I'VE BEEN DEALING IN POLITICS ALL MY LIFE.
I KNOW MOST OF THESE POLITICIANS.
I HAVE GREAT RESPECT.
SENATOR SESSIONS, JEFF SESSIONS ENDORSED ME.
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO ENDORSE CRUZ.
EVERYBODY THOUGHT -- CRUZ, I
THINK IT'S HIS ALL-TIME MOST
RESPECTED SENATOR AND CRUZ WOULD
TALK ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME.
SENATOR SESSIONS, SENATOR
SESSIONS JUST ENDORSED ME.
AND, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A LOT OF
RESPECT FOR A LOT OF THE
POLITICIANS BUT I WOULD
CERTAINLY WANT THAT TO BE A
POLITICAL POSITION.
>> WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK.
WHEN WE COME BACK, QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE FOR MR. TRUMP.
HIS WIFE, MELANIA, DAUGHTERS IVANKA AND TIFFANY, AND SONS
DONALD JR. AND ERIC.
THAT ON THIS SECOND "A.C. 360" REPUBLICAN FAMILY TOWN HALL.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Look at 'em! They're lovin' their vegetables.
This is huge news!
It's all thanks to our Birds Eye Chef's
Favorites
side dishes perfectly sauced or seasoned.
What are you..?
Shh! I'm live tweeting.
Oh, boy. Birds Eye. So veggie good.
[liquid dribbling]
Do you sell high-end champagne?
In the back.
[beep, beep]
[cork pop]
Have a good night.
The new water-resistant
Galaxy S7 edge.
Man 1: You're new. Man 2: I am. Woman:
Ex-military? Man 2: Four tours. Woman:
You worked with computers? Man 2:
That's classified, ma'am. Man 1: But
you're job was network security? Man
2: That's classified, sir. Woman:
Let's cut to the chase, here... Man
1: What's you're assessment of our
security? Man 2: [ gasps ] Porous.
Woman: Porous?
Man 2: The old solutions aren't working.
Man 2: The world has changed. Man
1: Meaning? Man 2: It's not just security.
It's defense. It's not just security.
It's defense. BAE Systems.
>>> AND WE ARE BACK WITH DONALD
TRUMP AND JOINING US HIS WIFE,
MELANIA, SONS DONALD JR., HIS
DAUGHTER JUST JUMPED ON THE
STAGE AS WELL, SHE'S 8 YEARS
OLD.
ERIC IS WITH US. DAUGHTERS TIFFANY AND IVANKA.
WELCOME, GREAT TO HAVE THE WHOLE
FAMILY TOGETHER LIKE THIS.
IVANKA, I HAVE TO START OFF WITH YOU. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BABY.
HOW IS EVERYTHING GOING?
>> THANK YOU, EVERYTHING IS
GOING INCREDIBLY WELL.
THEODORE IS 2 WEEKS OLD AS OF
SUNDAY. >> ARE YOU SLEEPING THROUGH THE
NIGHT?
>> NO, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
NOT EVEN CLOSE, BUT IT'S A
BLESSING, SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY.
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
I'M CURIOUS, WHEN YOUR DAD, YOUR
HUSBAND, I MEAN, HOW DID THE
CONVERSATION COME UP?
DID HE -- WAS THERE A FAMILY
MEETING LIKE ON THE BRADY BUNCH,
I MEAN, DID HE CALL EACH OF YOU
INDIVIDUALLY AND SAY, YOU KNOW,
I'M GOING TO DO THIS THIS TIME AND WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> WELL, I THINK IT'S SUCH A
PERSONAL DECISION THAT
ULTIMATELY IT WAS ONE HE HAD TO
ARRIVE TO ON HIS OWN, AND
OBVIOUSLY AS WE'VE ALL SEEN OVER
THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS IT'S A
VICIOUS INDUSTRY POLITICS, MUCH
MORE SO THAN REAL ESTATE OR
ANYTHING WE'VE EVER EXPERIENCED,
SO, BUT WE WERE JUST INCREDIBLY
EXCITED FOR HIM.
I MEAN, WE KNOW WHAT HE'S
CAPABLE OF.
WE'VE STOOD BY HIS SIDE FOR THE
LAST DECADE, IN MY CASE, A LITTLE BIT LONGER IN DON'S CASE,
AND WATCHED HIM DO THESE DEALS
AT THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION AND WE
KNOW WHAT HE CAN BRING TO THE COUNTRY SO WE'RE JUST HAPPY TO
SUPPORT HIM. >> HE'S FLIRTED WITH IT BEFORE.
DID YOU THINK, OKAY, THIS TIME
IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN? >> I THINK THIS TIME WE KNEW IT.
YOU SENSED THE FRUSTRATION IN
2008, SENSED THE FRUSTRATION
EVEN MORE SO IN 2012 BUT I THINK
WE WERE YOUNG, HE HAS A COMPANY,
HE ACTUALLY EMPLOYS TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHOSE
LIVELIHOODS AND WELLBEING DEPEND
ON THE SUCCESS OF THE COMPANY.
I WAS 28, HE'S NOT GOING TO SAY,
HERE'S A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY,
LEAVE IT WITH US AND HOPE THE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO
HIM FOR SO MANY YEARS WILL BE
OKAY.
WE'VE BEEN IN THE COMPANY MUCH
LONGER, HAVE THE DECADES OF
EXPERIENCE, HE CAN WALK AWAY
KNOWING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SO
GOOD TO HIM FOR THAT PERIOD OF
TIME ARE GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE
OF AND HE CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS
FOR THE COUNTRY.
>> MELANIA, WERE YOU NERVOUS FOR
HIM OR INSTANTLY LIKE, YEAH,
LET'S DO THIS? >> I WAS NOT NERVOUS FOR HIM BUT
HE WAS THINKING ABOUT IT AND I
GAVE HIM MY SUPPORT AND I SAID
TO HIM, YOU NEED TO GO AND RUN
AND PEOPLE WILL TAKE SERIOUS AND
IF YOU RUN, YOU WILL WIN AND I
SEE HOW PEOPLE REACT TO HIM
BEFORE HE ANNOUNCED IT.
>> TIFFANY, ERIC, WHEN YOU SAW
HIM COMING DOWN THE ESCALATOR
WITH MELANIA, DID YOU HAVE ANY
IDEA THAT IT WOULD GO ON THIS
LONG, THAT IT WOULD BECOME WHAT IT HAS?
>> IT'S AN AMAZING SUCCESS STORY
IF YOU LOOK AT IT, RIGHT, HE'S BEEN IN POLITICS NINE MONTHS AND
HE'S WINNING THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
I MEAN, IT'S REALLY AN
INCREDIBLE STORY, BUT TO YOUR
SPECIFIC QUESTION, I ACTUALLY
REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID LISTEN,
KIDS, I'M GOING TO DO THIS, I'M
GOING TO HOP INTO THE RACE, I
WANT TO SELF-FUND, I WANT TO DO
IT FOR THE COUNTRY.
THIS IS ABOUT THE COUNTRY. THIS COUNTRY HAS GIVEN ME
EVERYTHING.
I'M GOING TO GIVE BACK.
IT WAS A POWERFUL MOMENT.
I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT.
THE MOMENT IN THE OFFICE
TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, THE FOUR OF
US AND IT WAS A SPECIAL MOMENT
FOR US.
>> TIFFANY, FOR YOU, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> WHENEVER MY FATHER PUTS HIS HEART AND SOUL INTO SOMETHING,
HE GOES FULL FORCE.
WHEN HE FINALLY DECIDED TO, YOU
KNOW, RUN FOR PRESIDENT, I THINK ALL OF US KNEW, YOU KNOW WHAT,
HERE WE GO.
HE REALLY JUST WORKED SO HARD.
WE KNEW IT WOULD BE A SUCCESS.
I HAD NO DOUBT IN MY MIND HOW
WOULD GET AS FAR AS HE HAS.
>> IVANKA, ERIC, IT'S NO
SURPRISE, I GOT TO ASK YOU,
THERE WAS NEWS JUST THIS WEEK
BOTH OF YOU WERE NOT REGISTERED
TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
>> WELL, I'M AN INDEPENDENT AND
I'VE ALWAYS VOTED BASED ON THE
CANDIDATE AS OPPOSED TO BASED ON
THE PARTY AND IT WAS ACTUALLY A
VERY INTERESTING EXPERIENCE.
SO WE'RE NOT A FAMILY OF POLITICIANS.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN IN POLITICS VERY
LONG.
NEW YORK HAS ONE OF THE MOST
ONEROUS RULES IN TERMS OF
REGISTRATION AND IT REQUIRED US
TO REGISTER A LONG TIME AGO,
ALMOST CLOSE TO A YEAR AGO.
AND WE DIDN'T DO THAT.
WE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT SORT OF
AFTER THE FACT.
BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY WHY I
STARTED MAKING A SERIES OF
VIDEOS TO EDUCATE PEOPLE IN EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL STATES BECAUSE
EVERY STATE IS DIFFERENT.
MOST STATES YOU CAN REGISTER AS LATE AS THE DAY OF THE ACTUAL --
>> WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU
WEREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO VOTE --
>> AROUND A WEEK LATER.
>> IS THAT RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
>> ERIC, HOW ABOUT FOR YOU?
>> IT WAS THE SAME THING.
WE FELL INTO THE SAME BOAT.
IT WAS OUR FIRST KIND OF FORAY INTO POLITICS.
WE DIDN'T REALIZE HOW THE WHOLE
SYSTEM WORKED. IT WAS AMAZES.
WE ACTUALLY MADE IT A VERY BIG
PART OF THE CAMPAIGN AND NO ONE THAT'S BEEN MORE VISIBLE ON THE
CAMPAIGN THAN THE TWO OF US BUT
WE MADE IT A VERY BIG PART TO
GET THAT MESSAGE OUT.
GET OUT, REGISTER, GO OUT, VOTE,
HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT.
WE GAVE THEM THE TOOLS TO GO OUT
AND FIGURE OUT THAT PROCESS.
IT ACTUALLY WAS A GREAT
EDUCATIONAL PROCESS FOR US AND
ONE THAT PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, HELPED THE CAMPAIGN A LOT.
>> YOU'RE SEEING THE TURNOUT, BY
THE WAY, SO MANY PEOPLE
REGISTERING ALL THE TIME.
YOU SEE THE PEOPLE FLIPPING
SIDES TO BE ABLE TO VOTE FOR MY
FATHER. THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
>> DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A
REPUBLICAN?
>> YEAH, I'VE BEEN ALWAYS. >> ERIC?
>> VERY MUCH. >> I'M REGISTERED IN
PENNSYLVANIA AS A REPUBLICAN.
>> IVANKA, YOU'RE STILL AN
INDEPENDENT?
>> I'M AN INDEPENDENT.
>> WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN
YOU FOUND OUT THEY WEREN'T GOING
TO BE ABLE TO VOTE FOR YOU IN THE PRIMARY?
>> I KNEW IVANKA IS INDEPENDENT,
I UNDERSTAND WHY SHE IS.
IT'S HARD TO BE THRILLED WITH
WHAT'S GOING ON IN POLITICS,
EITHER PARTY IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON.
SHE WAS AN INDEPENDENT.
SHE'S GOING TO SWITCH OVER TO BE
REPUBLICAN AT SOME POINT.
PERHAPS SHE WANTS TO SEE WHAT'S
GOING ON.
I HAVE A FEELING SHE'LL BE VOTING IN NOVEMBER FOR ME.
>> THAT'S NO QUESTION.
>> THERE I CAN VOTE AS AN
INDEPENDENT.
>> I WANTED YOU TO MEET SOME OF
THE VOTERS HERE.
THIS IS NICOLE HART.
SHE IS A TECHNICAL DESIGNER FROM
HERE IN MANHATTAN.
SHE SAYS SHE'S LEANING TOWARD
SUPPORTING YOU, MR. TRUMP, BUT
SHE'S GOT A QUESTION FOR
MELANIA. >> HI, MELANIA.
>> HELLO. >> DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU AND MR.
TRUMP RAISED BARRON DIFFERENTLY THAN HE DID HIS OLDER CHILDREN?
>> WELL, IT'S A DIFFERENT TIME
AND DIFFERENT GENERATION, AND ESPECIALLY NOW THE TIME IS
DIFFERENT.
HE'S NOT HOME MUCH.
HE'S WORKING HARD.
HE'S ON THE ROAD ALL THE TIME.
AND I'M AT HOME BEING A PARENT
AND TO BE VERY HAPPY WHEN WE
HAVE HIM HOME BECAUSE WE MISS
HIM.
YES, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
BUT KIND OF STILL THE SAME.
HE LOVES TO WORK, HE LOVES THE
COUNTRY.
WE SEE HE WILL DO SOMETHING
AMAZING IF PEOPLE ELECT HIM TO
BE A PRESIDENT.
>> MR. TRUMP, DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE A DIFFERENT DAD TO YOUR YOUNGEST, TO BARRON, THAN YOU
WERE TO YOUR OLDER KIDS?
>> WELL, I THINK I APPRECIATE IT
MORE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY INTERESTING,
WITH ALL OF THE CHILDREN, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN, I THINK, A VERY
GOOD FATHER.
WAS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO ME.
A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY MY CHILDREN
HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB, AND THEY BETTER KEEP DOING A GOOD JOB.
BUT THEY COME TO ME, FRIENDS OF
MINE, VERY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE,
AND THEIR CHILDREN HAVE PROBLEMS
WITH DRUGS AND PROBLEMS WITH
ALCOHOL AND PROBLEMS WITH A LOT
OF THINGS AND THEY SAY COULD YOU SPEAK TO MY SON, COULD YOU SPEAK
TO MY DAUGHTER?
I'M ALWAYS VERY HONORED TO DO
THAT.
I HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS THAT HAVE
ASKED ME TO DO IT.
I THINK NOW AS I'VE GOTTEN
OLDER, I APPRECIATE THE FACT
MORE.
WHEREAS BEFORE I WAS CHARGING FORWARD BUT PERHAPS WE
APPRECIATE LIFE A LITTLE BIT
MORE.
>> THIS IS PEGGY, SHE WORKS IN
REAL ESTATE.
SHE SAYS HER DAD ACTUALLY WORKED FOR YOUR FATHER, FRED.
SHE SAYS SHE'S VOTING FOR YOU
NEXT TUESDAY AND SHE'S GOT A
QUESTION FOR ERIC.
>> HI, ERIC, HOW ARE YOU?
>> PEGGY, HOW ARE YOU?
>> MY QUESTION IS, RATHER, IT'S A STATEMENT.
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I FORMED A
VERY SPECIAL BOND WITH MY DAD
THROUGH FOOTBALL.
WE USED TO SPEND COUNTLESS HOURS
TOGETHER WATCHING GAMES AND I
WANTED TO KNOW, DO YOU HAVE A
SPECIAL BOND WITH YOUR DAD, JUST
THE TWO OF YOU? >> YEAH.
>> I HAVE MANY SPECIAL BONDS
WITH MY FATHER.
WE LOVE WORK.
RIGHT, IT'S SOMETHING THAT REALLY BRINGS US TOGETHER.
WE LOVE BUILDING.
THE TWO OF US LOVE MACHINERY, WE
LOVE BUILDING, WE LOVE CONCRETE,
WE LOVE JOBS.
WE'LL SIT ON THE PHONE AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING AND TALK ABOUT
OUR FAVORITE JOBS.
I THINK THAT BRINGS A LOT OF FUN TO US AND A LOT TO THE
RELATIONSHIP.
WE ALSO LOVE GOLF.
YOU KNOW, WE GO OUT, WE PLAY
GOLF TOGETHER AND IT'S JUST
SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY ENJOY.
LISTEN, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS.
HE HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR.
HE'S BEEN THE GREATEST FATHER IN THE WORLD.
HE'S JUST ALWAYS HAD SO MUCH
LOVE FOR US AND HIS WHOLE
FAMILY.
HE'S AN AMAZING GUY.
ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IN THE
ENTIRE WORLD.
MAYBE MY BEST FRIEND IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
HE'S AN AMAZING MAN.
THERE'S REALLY A LOT THAT BRINGS
IT TOGETHER.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> PEGGY WAS SAYING SHE WORKED
FOR YOUR DAD.
WHAT WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR DAD?
>> IT WAS GREAT.
IT REALLY BECAME MUCH BETTER WHEN I HIT ABOUT 20 WHEN I
GRADUATED FROM THE WHARTON
SCHOOL OF FINANCE AND I STARTED
WORKING BUT I WORKED WITH HIM
DURING SUMMERS, BUT IT WAS A
GREAT RELATIONSHIP.
>> DID YOU ALWAYS KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO GO INTO THIS BUSINESS?
>> NO, I WANTED TO BE A BASEBALL
PLAYER, WANTED TO MAKE MOVIES.
I HAD A LOT OF AMBITIONS AS I
WAS GROWING UP BUT ULTIMATELY I
DECIDED I'D WORK FOR MY FATHERS OVER THE SUMMER.
I WAS IN CINCINNATI, OHIO. I WORKED THERE.
DIFFERENT PLACES.
I LOVED DOING IT.
ULTIMATELY WHEN I GOT OUT OF
SCHOOL, I SAID THIS WAS THE
RIGHT THING TO DO.
WE HAD BUILDINGS IN BROOKLYN AND QUEENS AND I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO
INTO MANHATTAN.
I USED TO LOOK ACROSS THE RIVER
AND SEE THE BIG BUILDINGS AND IT
WAS SOMETHING THAT ALWAYS INTRIGUED ME.
I HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH MY FATHER.
PROBABLY EVEN BETTER WHEN I
WORKED WITH HIM.
>> THIS IS LILIAN ORTIZ OVER
HERE.
SHE'S AN ATTORNEY FROM SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK.
SHE SAYS SHE'S PLANNING ON
VOTING FOR YOU BUT HAS A QUESTION FOR TIFFANY.
LILIAN?
>> TIFFANY, GOOD EVENING TO YOU
ALL.
>> GOOD EVENING.
>> WHAT DO YOU MOST ADMIRE ABOUT YOUR DAD?
>> I THINK I'VE GROWN UP SEES
HIM SUCH A MENTOR.
HIS HARD WORK ETHIC IS TRULY INSPIRING.
WHENEVER I'M, YOU KNOW, AT
SCHOOL STUDYING THESE LONG
HOURS, I SEE HIM ON TV WITHOUT
ANY SLEEP AND MAKING THESE
SPEECHES AND JUST MAKES ME WANT
TO CONTINUE TO WORK HARDER AND
PROVE MYSELF AND, YOU KNOW, KEEP ON PUSHING TO MY LIMIT.
>> THANK YOU. >> TIFFANY, YOUR MOM REVEALED
JUST RECENTLY THAT YOU HAD YOUR
FIRST JOB INTERVIEW.
I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU WANTED HER
TO REVEAL THAT. HOW DID IT GO?
>> I THINK PRETTY WELL.
>> WERE YOU NERVOUS?
>> I THINK EVERYONE'S NERVOUS,
GRADUATES COLLEGE, FINDING YOUR
FIRST JOB.
I THINK I CAN UNDERSTAND AND
RESONATE WITH A LOT OF OTHER COLLEGE GRADUATES AT THIS TIME.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
YOU'RE OUT IN THE WORLD ON YOUR
OWN.
SO LUCKILY I HAVE A SUPPORTIVE
FAMILY, JARED, IVANKA'S HUSBAND,
MY FATHER, MY MOTHER HAS BEEN SO
SUPPORTIVE.
>> WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE
WATCHING YOUR DAD ON THE
POLITICAL ARENA?
>> IT'S BEEN AMAZING.
IT'S A ONCE IN A LIFETIME
OPPORTUNITY TRULY AND TO BE ABLE
TO BE THE DAUGHTER OF SOMEBODY RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENT,
ELECTION, NO UP REALLY HAS THAT OPPORTUNITY.
IT'S AN EDUCATION IN AND OF
ITSELF. >> YEAH.
I WANT YOU TO MEET ARLENE TANG,
SHE'S OVER HERE.
SHE'S A PHYSICIAN. SHE SAYS SHE'S UNDECIDED.
SHE'S GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU,
MR. TRUMP.
ARLENE?
>> GOOD EVENING, MR. TRUMP.
I WAS WONDERING DO YOU TALK TO
YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN THE SAME
WAY THAT YOU SPEAK AT THE GOP
DEBATES?
>> THE SAME WAY?
[ LAUGHTER ]
I THINK I'M MUCH NICER TO THEM.
I WILL SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU TALK
ABOUT THE DEBATES, I NEVER KNEW ABOUT DEBATING.
MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN SORT OF A DEBATE, BUT THE POLITICIANS,
THEY DEBATE EVERY NIGHT.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW THAT WAS
REALLY GOING TO WORK OUT.
AND THE DEBATES, I LOVE THE
DEBATES.
I REALLY HAD FUN WITH THEM.
I THINK I'VE DONE WELL WITH THEM.
I'VE BEEN ON THE CENTER STAGE
EVERY SINGLE DEBATE.
AND I'VE REALLY ENJOYED IT, BUT
I WILL TELL YOU, I SPEAK TO MY
WIFE AND CHILDREN MUCH, MUCH
DIFFERENTLY AND BUT IT HAS BEEN
AN INTERESTING PROCESS.
THEY'RE ALWAYS SAYING, BE NICER ON THE DEBATES.
I SAY, THEY'RE COMING AT ME FROM
ALL THESE DIFFERENT ANGLES, HOW
CAN I BE NICE?
MELANIA IN PARTICULAR WOULD SAY,
BE NICER IN THE DEBATES.
I SAY, I CAN'T DO THAT.
I HAVE TO WIN FIRST.
>> WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THEM?
BECAUSE I THINK I SAW MR. TRUMP,
YOU SAYING ON THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL, BOTH MELANIA AND ALSO
IVANKA WERE TELLING YOU TO BE MORE PRESIDENTIAL.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE HIM TO BE
DIFFERENT?
>> JUST TO USE NICE LANGUAGE.
>> BETTER LANGUAGE.
>> I KNOW YOU --
>> NOT ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES I AGREE WITH IT.
>> SOMEBODY YELLED AT SOMETHING
AT ONE OF HIS RALLIES, YOU WERE
UPSET AT THAT.
>> I WAS THINKING JUST DON'T
REPEAT IT BECAUSE NEXT DAY THE
PRESS ALL THEY WILL TALK IS
ABOUT THE WORD, INAPPROPRIATE
WORD AND THAT WAS CORRECT.
>> IVANKA, WHAT HAVE YOU SAID TO
HIM ABOUT BEING PRESIDENTIAL?
>> ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS
ABOUT THIS PROCESS, IT'S VERY
EASY TO HAVE AN OPINION ON
THINGS BUT WHEN YOU'RE NOT IN
THE ARENA, IT'S, YOU KNOW, A
DIFFERENT BALL GAME.
I'VE DEFINITELY SAID THINGS OF
THAT KIND TO HIM BUT I ALSO THEN
WATCH THESE DEBATES AND IT'S A
HARD THING TO OBSERVE BECAUSE I
SEE THEM, IT'S LIKE A CAGE
MATCH.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUMPING ON HIM.
THEY'RE HITTING HIM FROM THE LEFT.
HITTING HIM FROM THE RIGHT.
EVERYONE'S ATTACKING HIM BECAUSE
HE'S BEEN THE FRONT-RUNNER FOR SO LONG.
IT'S -- HE'S THE MAN TO TAKE
DOWN.
SO WHILE I DO SOMETIMES TELL HIM
TO WITHHOLD SOME OF THAT SORT OF
FIRE, I ALSO UNDERSTAND IT AND I
THINK IT'S INSTINCT AND I THINK
IT ALSO SPEAKS TO HIS PASSION
AND I THINK THAT'S ULTIMATELY WHAT WE NEED.
I MEAN, YOU HAVE TO HAVE
TREMENDOUS STAMINA TO GET
THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FIRE AND A
PASSION.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN BE
PARTICULARLY LAID BACK AND MAKE
IT THROUGH THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE
FROM ONE I'VE OBSERVED
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE COMPETING
AGAINST MANY VERY QUALIFIED
PEOPLE WHO ARE QUITE UPSET BY
THE FACT THAT YOU'VE LOGGED PAST
THEM.
>> YOU STILL TALKED ABOUT CHANGING YOUR TONE FROM TIME TO
TIME, MAYBE EVEN SOON.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN?
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING, LOOK, YOU'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THAT FOR A WHILE. >> SURE.
>> MAYBE HE'S NOT ACTUALLY CAPABLE OF CHANGING.
>> I'M VERY CAPABLE OF DOING IT. IT'S EASY TO DO IT.
IT'S EASIER TO DO IT THAN THE
WAY I BEHAVE RIGHT NOW.
>> WHY NOT? >> I HAVE TWO MORE PEOPLE I HAVE
TO TAKE OUT. [ LAUGHTER ]
AND WHEN I TAKE THEM OUT, I WILL
BE SO PRESIDENTIAL YOU WON'T
BELIEVE IT THEN, OF COURSE, I'LL
START ON HILLARY THEN I'LL BE A
LITTLE LESS PRESIDENTIAL.
BUT ASSUMING I WIN, I WILL BE
VERY, VERY -- THE COUNTRY WILL GAIN.
YOU KNOW, MY WHOLE THING IS MAKE
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
>> I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT.
>> IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO ME.
I KNOW, IT'S JUST SO IMPORTANT
TO ME BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH
POTENTIAL AND WE'RE NOT USING
OUR POTENTIAL.
AND WE'RE BEING SCOFFED AT AND
LAUGHED AT BY THE WORLD.
WHETHEWHETHER IT'S
PAYING FOR OTHER COUNTRIES' MILITARY AND NOT BEING PROPERLY
REIMBURSED.
IT'S SO SAD WHAT'S HAPPENING TO
OUR COUNTRY.
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE $19 TRILLION
IN DEBT, GOING UP TO $21
TRILLION IN DEBT QUICKLY BECAUSE
OF THE HORRIBLE BUDGET DEAL THAT WAS JUST MADE.
I'LL BE VERY PRESIDENTIAL AT THE
RIGHT TIME.
>> THIS IS ALAN, HE'S LEANING
TOWARD SUPPORTING YOU.
HE HAS A QUESTION FOR IVANKA.
>> HI, IVANKA.
YOU AND CHELSEA CLINTON ARE PERSONAL FRIENDS.
HAS THE CAMPAIGN PUT A STRAIN ON
YOUR FRIENDSHIP?
WITH YOU AND CHELSEA WORKING ON
YOUR PROSPECTIVE PARENTS'
CAMPAIGNS, IS THERE A COMMON
GROUND WHERE YOU GUYS CAN FIND
AN ISSUE TO AGREE ON AND DO YOU
THINK YOU'LL STILL BE FRIENDS
WITH HER AFTER THIS ELECTION
CYCLE?
>> WELL, LOOK, WE'RE CHILDREN
AND WE LOVE OUR PARENTS SO
THAT'S THE GREAT EQUALIZER AND
THAT'S THE GREAT COMMON GROUND,
SO I'M INCREDIBLY PROUD OF MY
FATHER.
I'M AMAZED AND TRULY IN AWE OF
WHAT HE'S ACCOMPLISHED AND WHAT HE'S ACCOMPLISHED THROUGHOUT THE
COURSE OF HIS LIFE UP UNTIL THIS
POINT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, THE LAST TEN MONTHS HAVE REALLY BEEN A WHOLE
DIFFERENT LEVEL.
I THINK SHE WOULD PROBABLY SAY
THE SAME ABOUT HER MOTHER, SO
SHE'S PROBABLY VERY PROUD OF HER
MOTHER AND WE CERTAINLY WOULD
SHARE THAT I WOULD THINK.
>> THIS IS MITCHELL BERNSTEIN,
HE'S AN I.T. DIRECTOR FROM
BROOKHAVEN, NEW YORK, HE SAYS
HE'S LEANING TOWARD SUPPORTING YOU.
HE HAS A QUESTION FOR ALL THE THE WOMEN ON THE STAGE.
MITCHELL?
>> YES.
YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE THE MEDIA
HAS GONE AFTER YOUR FATHER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS REGARDING
WOMEN IN GENERAL.
AND I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU FELT
ABOUT HOW THE MEDIA HAS TREATED
HIM, HOW HE'S PRESENTED HIMSELF
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO IN GENERAL
TO IMPROVE THE RELATIONSHIP AND
TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW
YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR
FATHER IS IN REGARDS TO WOMEN IN
GENERAL.
>> WELL, I THINK THE FACTS SPEAK
FOR THEMSELVES.
I HAVE WITNESSED THESE
INCREDIBLE FEMALE ROLE MODELS
THAT HE'S EMPLOYED IN THE
HIGHEST EXECUTIVE POSITIONS AT
THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION MY ENTIRE
LIFE.
AND AN INDUSTRY THAT HAS BEEN
DOMINATED BY MEN, IS STILL
DOMINATED BY MEN BUT CERTAINLY
WAS WHEN HE WAS STARTING OUT IN
HIS CAREER AND HE WAS EMPLOYING
SOME OF THESE WOMEN AND RAISING
THEM THROUGH THE RANKS.
SO, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, I THINK
THE WAY HE RAISED ME, THE WAY HE
RAISED TIFFANY, IT'S A TESTAMENT
TO THE FACT THAT HE BELIEVES IN
INSPIRING WOMEN, EMPOWERING
WOMEN.
HE ALWAYS TAUGHT ME THERE WASN'T
ANYTHING I COULDN'T DO IF I SET
MY MIND TO IT, IF I HAD DEEP
PASSION, IF I REALLY UNEARTH
WHAT IT IS THAT I WANTED TO DO
WITH MY LIFE THEN WORKED VERY
HARD TO ACHIEVE IT AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE MESSAGE A
FATHER WOULD RELAY TO A DAUGHTER
WHO HE DIDN'T BELIEVE HAD THE
POTENTIAL TO ACCOMPLISH EXACTLY WHAT HER BROTHERS COULD.
SO, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, IT'S HIS
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN THE
WORDS OF MANY POLITICIANS WHO
TALK ABOUT GENDER EQUALITY, BUT
IT'S NOT EVIDENCED IN THEIR
DAILY EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES.
SO I THINK BOTH AT THE TRUMP
ORGANIZATION AND ALSO IN A MORE
PERSONAL CAPACITY, THE TYPE OF
FATHER HE WAS TO A DAUGHTER, TO
DAUGHTERS, I THINK EVIDENCES HOW
HE FEELS ABOUT OUR GENDER IN GENERAL. >> TIFFANY?
>> I THINK MY FATHER, SINCE I'VE
BEEN A LITTLE GIRL, HAS ALWAYS
JUST INSPIRED ME AND HAD SO MUCH
FAITH IN ME TO JUST BE THE BEST PERSON I CAN BE, THE BEST WOMAN
I CAN BE.
EVERY TIME I SPEAK TO HIM ON THE PHONE WHETHER IT BE AT SCHOOL,
WHEN I'M WITH HIM IN HIS OFFICE
IN PALM BEACH, IT'S JUST, HE
WANTS US TO DO THE BEST AND HE
HAS THE UTMOST FAITH THAT WE CAN
ACCOMPLISH WHATEVER WE SET OUR
MINDS TO JUST AS WELL AS MEN, IF
NOT BETTER AND WE'RE SUCH
STRONG, HARD WORKERS.
I MEAN, IVANKA, OF COURSE,
MELANIA, I JUST TRULY FEEL MY
FATHER IS THE BEST FATHER, THE
BEST HUSBAND THAT HE COULD BE, TRULY.
>> MELANIA?
>> HE TREATS EVERYONE EQUALLY.
SO IF YOU'RE WOMAN AND HE
ATTACKS -- THEY ATTACK HIM, HE
WILL ATTACK BACK. NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE.
WE'RE ALL HUMAN AND HE TREATS
THEM EQUAL AS MEN, SO I THINK
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
HE DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
AND HE ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY, MAN OR A WOMAN.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ONE MORE
SHORT BREAK. BACK WITH THE TRUMP FAMILY RIGHT
AFTER THIS.
We were born 100 years ago into a
new American century.
Born with a hunger to fly
and a passion to build something better.
And what an amazing time it's been,
decade after decade of innovation
inspiration and wonder.
So, we say thank you America for a
century of trust
for the privilege of flying higher
and higher, together.

>>> BACK NOW WITH MORE QUESTIONS
FOR DONALD TRUMP, HIS WIFE, SONS, AND DAUGHTERS.
THANKS VERY MUCH FOR DOING THIS. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I ASKED
GOVERNOR KASICH AND HIS WIFE
YESTERDAY ABOUT HIS DAUGHTERS, I WANT TO ASK YOU, MELANIA, WHICH
IS DO YOU MONITOR YOUR SON'S
SOCIAL MEDIA?
IT'S A QUESTION PARENTS ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT GIVEN ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.
DO YOU WATCH YOUR SON'S SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE?
>> HE HAS AN iPHONE.
HE'S NOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA YET.
HE'S 10 YEARS OLD.
I THINK IT'S TOO EARLY TO BE ON
SOCIAL MEDIA.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT INSTAGRAM I
WILL GO INTO IT WHEN I THINK
IT'S THE RIGHT AGE.
IT'S A HARD DECISION TO MAKE.
I GREW UP WITHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA.
IT WAS IN ONE WAY BETTER BECAUSE
I SEE A LOT OF BULLYING KIDS
GOING ON AND WE NEED TO PROTECT
OUR CHILDREN.
WE NEED TO WATCH OVER THEM.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE BULLYING JUST
USED TO BE IN SCHOOLS BUT NOW
BECAUSE IT'S SOCIAL MEDIA, IT'S
24 HOURS A DAY, IT REACHES INTO
THE HOME AS WELL.
>> YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW.
YOU NEED TO CHECK ON YOUR
CHILDREN AND TALK TO THEM AND
HAVE CONVERSATION WITH THEM BUT
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO BE CLOSE
PARENT AND KIND OF ON TOP OF
THEM BUT STILL LET THEM BE WHO
THEY ARE.
>> I GOT TO ASK YOU GUY, DO YOU MONITOR YOUR DAD'S SOCIAL MEDIA?
>> IMPOSSIBLE TASK. >> I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT ANDERSON.
>> ARE THERE SOME DAYS YOU WAKE
UP AND LOOK AT TWITTER AND YOU
THINK, REALLY?
>> IT KIND OF MAKES HIM THE PERSON HE IS, HONESTLY.
IT'S SO GREAT TO NOT SEE THE
SOUND BITES, THE TRADITIONAL
POLITICIAN SOUND BITES YOU READ TOO OFTEN.
I MEAN, HE'S SO AUTHENTIC.
HE WRITES THE TWEETS HIMSELF.
HE DOESN'T HAVE A TEAM OF HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
BEHIND HIM. I THINK THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIM
THE CANDIDATE HE IS.
>> THE RETWEETS.
THE TWEETS ARE FINE.
THE RETWEETS GET A LITTLE SHAKY.
>> THEY'RE RUNNING FOCUS GROUPS,
HOW DO WE WORD THIS SO WE TELL
EVERYONE WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR?
WHEN IT COMES TIME TO ACTUALLY DELIVER.
HIS IS GENUINE.
THE FIGHT, THE SPIRIT, LACKING
IN TODAY'S POLITICIAN WHERE THEY
JUST GO WITH THE WIND.
>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO RETWEET
PEOPLE.
YOU CAN JUST LET IT STAND.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT'S INTERESTING,
I STARTED OFF A NUMBER OF YEARS
AGO AND I NOW SEE THAT OVER THE
WEEKEND, I PICKED UP, LIKE,
ALMOST 100,000 PEOPLE AND I HAVE
7.5 MILLION, 7.6 MILLION PEOPLE
THERE, ALMOST 7.5 MILLION PEOPLE
ON FACEBOOK.
I HAVE MILLIONS.
IT'S REALLY AN ASSET.
I REALLY ENJOY IT, BUT IT'S
REALLY AN ASSET.
YOU SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
THERE IS SOME GENIUS THERE.
I MEAN, YOU WILL GET -- YOU WILL READ SOME OF THE STUFF, THERE'S
GENIUS THERE.
YOU HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT
GENIUS.
BUT IT IS A POWERFUL THING.
I MEAN --
>> AS PRESIDENT, THOUGH --
>> NO, I WOULDN'T BE DOING IT.
>> YOU WOULDN'T.
>> I WOULD DO IT VERY LITTLE. IT'S DIFFERENT.
RIGHT NOW IF I'M FIGHTING ONE OF
MY OPPONENTS I CAN TWEET OUT
THINGS AND MY FEELINGS.
I HAD IT ON CNN.
THERE WAS ONE INSTANCE I WAS AT
A TOWN HALL AND SOMEBODY GOT UP
AND MADE A NEGATIVE STATEMENT
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.
YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER, VERY
NEGATIVE.
THEY NEVER FOUND OUT WHO THIS GUY WAS.
WAS HE A SETUP OR WHAT?
>> I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT. >> HE MADE A NEGATIVE STATEMENT
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT AND THEY SAID I DIDN'T DEFEND HIM.
IT WAS A BIG DEAL.
I REMEMBER I TWEETED ONE LINE
THEN ANOTHER LINE AND I PUT IT
OUT AND IT BROKE INTO CNN, THIS
MAJOR BROADCAST, DONALD TRUMP
BREAKING NEWS.
IT'S LIKE, I'M SITTING THERE, I
JUST DID THIS AND IT TOTALLY
SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
IT DOESN'T ALL WORK BADLY, BUT
IT IS A MODERN METHOD OF
COMMUNICATION AND, YOU KNOW,
WHEN I HAVE 16 MILLION OR 17
MILLION PEOPLE WHEN YOU ADD IT
UP, IT GIVES ME A BIG
ADVANTAGE --
>> DO YOU WRITE ALL YOUR OWN TWEETS?
WHEN SOMEBODY RETWEETS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU'VE RETWEETED --
>> I'D SAY, YES, OTHER THAN IF
WE RELEASE SOME INFORMATION, I
HAVE PEOPLE, DAN, AND OTHER
PEOPLE WHO WILL DO IT.
>> DO YOU ACTUALLY SIT THERE AND
TYPE OR SIT THERE --
>> DURING THE DAY, I'M IN THE
OFFICE, I SHOUT IT OUT TO ONE OF
THE YOUNG LADIES.
I HAVE TREMENDOUS OFFICE STAFF.
MEREDITH AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE
THAT WORK FOR ME.
AND I'LL JUST SHOUT IT OUT AND
THEY'LL DO IT.
DURING THE EVENINGS AFTER 7:00
OR SO, I WILL ALWAYS DO IT BY
MYSELF.
>> MELANIA, DO YOU EVER WANT TO
SAY TO HIM, PUT THE MOBILE
DEVICE DOWN?
THAT, LIKE, IT'S 2:00 A.M. AND
YOU'RE STILL TWEETING.
>> IF HE WOULD ONLY LISTEN.
I DID MANY TIMES.
AND I JUST SAY, OKAY, DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT. HE'S AN ADULT.
HE KNOWS THE CONSEQUENCES. AND --
>> LET'S MEET MORE VOTERS.
THIS IS ANDREW, HE'S A SMALL
BUSINESSOWNER WHO SAYS HE'S LEANING TOWARD VOTING FOR YOU,
MR. TRUMP.
HE'S GOT A QUESTION FOR DONALD
JR. ANDREW?
>> HI.
DEFINITELY GOT MY VOTE.
>> THAT WAS GOOD. THAT'S GOOD.
THANK YOU.
>> I ADMIRE HOW YOU GUYS BEING
IN THE PUBLIC EYE REMAIN MORE
GROUNDED AND BECAME SO SUCCESSFUL.
COMPLIMENT YOU, FATHER ON THAT,
AND MOM, OBVIOUSLY.
AND MY QUESTION IS WHEN YOUR PARENTS WERE GETTING DIVORCED,
HOW DID YOUR FATHER HELP YOU GET
THROUGH THAT?
>> WELL, LISTEN, I DON'T THINK
IT WAS AN EASY TIME.
IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A DIFFICULT TIME TO GO THROUGH FOR ANY YOUNG
KID.
I WAS 12 YEARS OLD.
YOU'RE AT THAT STAGE IN LIFE
WHERE YOU THINK YOU'RE A MAN BUT YOU'RE NOT QUITE.
IT WAS A DIFFICULT THING.
THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES HE'S ALWAYS
BEEN THERE, ON HIS TERMS.
IT WASN'T A TYPICAL LET'S GO
PLAY CATCH IN THE BACKYARD
FATHER/SON RELATIONSHIP.
WE ALWAYS WENT TO JOB SITES WITH
HIM.
WE'D BE IN HIS OFFICE PLAYING
WITH TRUCKS AS A 6-YEAR-OLD
WHILE HE'S NEGOTIATING DEALS
WITH PRESIDENTS OF MAJOR
COMPANIES.
HE ALWAYS MADE HIMSELF AVAILABLE.
I REMEMBER CALLING FROM SCHOOL,
BOARDING SCHOOL, GETTING HOME
FROM SCHOOL WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER.
HE'D PICK UP THE PHONE AND SAY,
JACK WELSH IS IN THE OFFICE, SAY
HI, DON.
BECAUSE WE WERE ALWAYS PRESENT,
BECAUSE WE ALWAYS WERE -- ON HIS
TERMS, AT JOB SITES, IT REALLY
INSTILLED A WORK ETHIC AND A
VALUE FOR THE BUSINESS THAT
WE'RE IN THAT IT JUST -- IT'S
WHAT WE GREW UP IN, WHAT WE UNDERSTOOD.
WHEN IT CAME TIME TO START
RUNNING THE BUSINESS AND GO IN
THERE, IT WAS A VERY NATURAL PROGRESSION.
I ALWAYS JOKE I'VE BEEN WORKING
WITH THE COMPANY FOR 38 YEARS
BECAUSE HE SET THAT UP AND IT
WAS THAT WORK ETHIC AND THAT
FOUNDATION THAT HE IMPLANTED
THAT ALLOWS US TO PROBABLY DO
WHAT IT IS THAT WE DO TODAY.
SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY ALL
HIM.
>> ERIC, I SAW AN INTERVIEW YOU
GAVE, I CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT'S A
PRINT INTERVIEW, WHERE YOU SAID
THE DIVORCE ACTUALLY BROUGHT YOU
CLOSER TO YOUR SIBLINGS.
>> YEAH, I THINK THAT'S RIGHT.
DON IS MY BEST FRIEND, IVANKA IS MY BEST FRIEND.
WE'RE INSEPARABLE WITH TIFFANY.
WE WORK TOGETHER EVERY DAY, HAVE
OFFICES NEXT TO EACH OTHER.
WE ALSO VACATION TOGETHER.
KAI SPENDS A WEEKEND AT MY
HOUSE, WE WATCHED "FROZEN"
TOGETHER.
SHE INSISTED ON SITTING ON MY LAP BECAUSE SHE GOT THE SHY
GENE.
MY FATHER AND MOTHER DID A GREAT
JOB AT WAS ACTUALLY PROTECTING
US FROM THE MEDIA, REALLY
PROTECTING US FROM THE MEDIA
DURING THOSE TIMES AND WE GREW
UP.
AS WE STARTED GAINING A LITTLE
BIT OF THAT IRON SHIELD, WE
BECAME MORE VISIBLE.
NOW YOU SEE US EVERY SINGLE DAY AND IT'S SOMETHING WE LOVE DOING
BECAUSE WE TRULY LOVE THE MAN TO
DEATH.
WE REALLY LOVE OUR FATHER AND OUR WHOLE FAMILY.
>> I WANT TO YOU TO MEET SHERRY
MURRAY.
SHE IS CURRENTLY UNDECIDED.
SHE HAS A QUESTION FOR MELANIA.
>> THANK YOU. MR. TRUMP, YOU HAVE A BUNCH
FAMILY. I'M A MOM, AS WELL, MY DAUGHTER,
SHYLA, AND TWO SONS, ABEL AND
JACE.
I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT YOU LOVE
MOST ABOUT BEING A MOM, MELANIA
AND ALSO ARE YOU GUYS INTERESTED
IN HAVING MORE KIDS?
>> WELL, IT'S AMAZING EVERY DAY.
OUR SON IS 10 YEARS OLD AND
EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT.
EVERY DAY IT'S, YOU KNOW,
SOMETHING SPECIAL.
AND IT'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND
I ENJOY EVERY DAY. I LOVE BEING MOM.
VERY SPECIAL TIME.
AND I'M AT HOME AND RAISING HIM,
TEACHING HIM VALUES AND MORALS
AND PREPARING HIM FOR ADULT LIFE
BECAUSE SOONER OR LATER HE WILL
HAVE WINGS TO FLY AND I WILL BE
ALWAYS THERE FOR HIM, BUT HE WILL BE VERY INDEPENDENT AND
READY TO GO.
>> ANYMORE KIDS?
>> WE'RE NOT REALLY THINKING
ABOUT --
>> IVANKA, MY MOM HAS BEEN
PRESSURING ME TO ACTUALLY HAVE
KIDS.
WHAT'S BEING A MOM MEANT TO YOU, HOW HAS IT CHANGED YOU?
>> I THINK IT'S CHANGED ME IN ALMOST EVERY CAPACITY.
I THINK IT'S MADE ME A BETTER
PERSON, A BETTER WIFE.
I THINK I'M MUCH MORE
EMPATHETIC.
ONCE YOU START THINKING ABOUT A
BIGGER PICTURE OUTSIDE OF
YOURSELF WHICH IT'S EASY TO BE
VERY SELF-CENTERED WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG AND YOU'RE SINGLE AND
OBVIOUSLY IT STARTED WHEN I GOT MARRIED AND I BECAME A WE.
THEN HAVING KIDS BRINGS IT TO A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL.
PUTTING THEM FIRST AND THEY BECOME VERY MUCH THE CENTER OF
YOUR UNIVERSE.
>> JUST SEEMS EXHAUSTING.
>> IT IS -- AND IT'S EXHAUSTING.
>> IT IS.
>> IT'S REALLY, IT'S THE MOST
AMAZING TYPE OF CHALLENGE YOU
REALLY CAN'T PREPARE YOURSELF
FOR BUT IS SO UNBELIEVABLY
REWARDING.
I FEEL SO FORTUNATE.
I HAVE THREE CHILDREN NOW UNDER
THE AGE OF 4 1/2.
>> WOW.
>> AND IT'S EXHAUSTING, BUT IT'S
THE PERFECT KIND OF CHAOS.
>> I WANT YOU TO MEET JOSEPH
COHEN, HE'S A STUDENT AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
SAYS HE'S UNDECIDED.
HE HAS A QUESTION FOR IVANKA.
>> I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON THE BIRTH OF YOUR SON.
HOW DID YOUR FATHER REACT TO
CONVERTING TO JUDAISM?
>> I TEND NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT
IN A PUBLIC FORUM.
MY FATHER IS VERY SUPPORTIVE.
HE KNOWS ME, HE KNOWS AND HE TRUSTS MY JUDGMENT.
WHEN I MAKE DECISIONS, I MAKE
THEM IN A WELL-REASONED WAY.
I DON'T RUSH INTO THINGS.
SO I APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT HE
GAVE ME BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THESE
DECISIONS ARE NOT TAKEN LIGHTLY.
AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE
HARD IF I HAD HAD HEADWINDS, BUT HE BELIEVES IN ME.
HE LOVES MY HUSBAND.
THEY'RE INCREDIBLY CLOSE WHICH I THINK WAS OBVIOUSLY HELPFUL.
AND HE HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE
OF ME IN THAT DECISION AS IN
MANY OTHERS THAT I'VE TAKEN
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
>> THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION.
THIS IS BRITNEY, SHE'S A STUDENT
AT THE FASHION INSTITUTE OF
TECHNOLOGY.
SHE SAYS SHE'S UNDECIDED.
SHE'S GOT A QUESTION BASICALLY
FOR ALL THE KIDS.
>> HI.
SO HOW INTIMIDATING WAS IT TO
INTRODUCE YOUR SIGNIFICANT
OTHERS INITIALLY TO YOUR FATHER?
>> WELL, I DON'T THINK THAT ANY
OF US NECESSARILY GOT THE SHY
GENE.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF SHY IN OUR
FAMILY.
SO I THINK WE'RE ALL PRETTY
SELF-CONFIDENT, SO I THINK IT
MADE IT RELATIVELY EASY BUT IT
WAS PROBABLY A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
FOR ALL OF US, BUT, YOU KNOW,
HE'S BEEN JUST INCREDIBLE NOW,
ALWAYS HAS BEEN AS A FATHER BUT EVEN AS A GRANDFATHER.
I HAVE FIVE KIDS OF MY OWN AND
MY WIFE IS A STAY-AT-HOME MOM,
TAKES CARE OF ALL FIVE OF THEM.
HER JOB IS A LOT TOUGHER THAN MINE.
WE HAVE A PRETTY TOUGH JOB.
IT'S AMAZING.
HE'S INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT AS WELL.
AND JUST SEEING HIM AS A
GRANDFATHER, I MEAN, I WISH
SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE COULD SEE
BECAUSE IT IS AMAZING.
IT'S A SIDE OF HIM YOU WOULDN'T
SEE.
NOT SOMETHING WE TALK ABOUT ALL THAT OFTEN.
IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE. WATCHING HIM WITH KAI ON THE
GOLF COURSE OR ANY OTHER SITUATION, IT'S JUST PRETTY
AMAZING.
THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME
INTIMIDATION INITIALLY BUT HE
TRUSTS US PRETTY WELL.
>> I REMEMBER SPYING ON THE
LUNCH THAT MY FATHER AND HUSBAND
HAD IN TRUMP TOWERS.
>> HOW DID YOU SPY ON THEM?
>> I WENT DOWNSTAIRS, THERE WERE
A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF HAND
GESTURES, I DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS
WAS GOOD OR BAD.
I WAS, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WHEN
YOU LOVE SOMEBODY SO MUCH, YOU
HOPE THAT THE PEOPLE IN YOUR
LIVES LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
>> DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?
>> I'M VERY FANTASTICALLY HAPPY
WITH HIM.
I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE UP IN
MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY.
>> IT'S GOT TO HARD --
>> HE TRUSTS US.
WE'RE INDEPENDENT PEOPLE.
ALL HE CAN DO IS SUPPORT US, BE
A LOVING FATHER AND HOPE THAT
WE'RE TAKEN CARE OF AS WELL.
>> IF IT'S NOT GOOD, THE OLDER
BROTHERS WILL GET INVOLVED.
>> HIGH SCHOOL WAS ROUGH FOR ME
IN THAT REGARD.
>> THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A COUPLE
INSTANCES.
>> IS THAT RIGHT?
>> ONE OR TWO. >> THEY'RE VERY PROTECTIVE.
>> THIS IS JOSEPH FROM STATEN
ISLAND.
HE'S LEANING TOWARDS YOU.
>> FIRST OF ALL, MR. TRUMP, I
RESPECT YOU AS A BUSINESSMAN BUT
MORE IMPORTANTLY AS A FATHER.
YOU SWAYED ME TONIGHT.
>> GOOD.
>> DEFINITELY.
MY QUESTION FOR YOU, DON, WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED AS THE GREATEST
EXPERIENCE AS A BUSINESSMAN FROM
YOUR FATHER AND DO YOU THINK
SOMETIMES TONE IS IMPORTANT AND
YOU GET MORE WITH HONEY THAN VINEGAR SO TO SPEAK.
>> I THINK WITHOUT QUESTION. WHAT'S INTERESTING THROUGHOUT
THIS PROCESS EVERYONE TALKS
ABOUT THAT AND TONE BUT THERE
ACTUALLY COMES A TIME WHEN YOU HAVE TO PUT THE HAMMER DOWN.
THERE COMES A TIME WHEN BEING
NICE AND TRYING TO DO ALL THIS
STUFF, WHEN PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING
AT YOUR FACE, YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY FIGHT BACK.
THAT'S WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT ABOUT
WHAT HE DOES.
HE'S NOT JUST GOING TO GO EVERY
TIME THERE'S A LITTLE CHANGE IN
THE WINDS, HE'S GOING TO FLIP. THAT'S NOT WHAT HE DOES.
HE'S GOING TO FIGHT FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
TONE IS IMPORTANT.
I'VE SEEN HIM DO THAT FOR THE 38 YEARS I'VE BEEN WORKING IN THE
COMPANY, I'VE SEEN HIM DO DEALS
WITH PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE
WORLD, DIFFERENT BACKGROUND,
DIFFERENT ETHNICITIES, DIFFERENT
EVERYTHING, DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES.
HE'S ABLE TO DO THAT BETTER THAN
ANYONE.
NO ONE CAN BE MORE ENDEARING.
HE WINS EVERYONE OVER, WHEN THE
TIME IS RIGHT.
BUT WE'RE AT A STAGE IN OUR
COUNTRY WHERE I THINK WE ALL
BELIEVE WE'RE IN A TIME OF
CHANGE, THE BIGGEST JOKE I SEE
IS HOW THE POLITICIANS TALK
ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GREAT PUBLIC SERVANTS.
THEY'RE SERVING THEMSELVES.
HE DOESN'T NEED THIS.
BUT HE WANTS TO GIVE BACK TO THE
COUNTRY THAT HAVE BEEN SO GREAT
TO HIM, THAT HAVE BEEN SO LOYAL TO HIM.
IT'S GIVEN HIM SO MANY
OPPORTUNITIES, WHETHER IT BE
FAMILY OR BUSINESS.
HE WANTS TO GO THROUGH THIS
BRUTAL PROCESS TO GO THROUGH
THIS OPPORTUNITY.
AND IT'S INCREDIBLY SELFLESS AND
IT'S RESONATING WITH THE PEOPLE.
>> IS THERE A PARTICULAR LESSON
THAT STICKS OUT? >> ABSOLUTELY.
HE ISN'T A GUY THAT SITS YOU ON
HIS KNEE AND SAYS THIS IS HOW
YOU YOU DO THIS. HE LET'S YOU LEARN BY
EXPERIENCE.
HE'LL LET YOU MAKE MISTAKES AND
THEN FOLLOW.
BUT YOU BETTER BE RIGHT BECAUSE
IF YOU'RE NOT, HE'LL HEAR ABOUT
IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
>> WE KNOW YOU LOST YOUR BROTHER
FROM ALCOHOLISM AT AGE 43, I
LOST A SISTER FROM ALCOHOLISM AT
AGE 37.
IT'S A LIFE CHANGING EVENT AND
YOU REALLY HAVE TO TAKE STOCK IN
YOUR LIFE.
>> RIGHT.
>> MY QUESTION IS HOW DID YOU --
WE'VE SEEN SO MANY -- THE
CHILDREN OF SO MANY WEALTHY
PEOPLE WHO HAVE, YOU KNOW,
THEY'VE ENDED UP BEING A MESS.
HOW DID YOU INSTILL WITH YOUR KIDS, HOW DID YOU PROTECT THEM,
HOW DID YOU INSTILL A SENSE OF
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY WITH
THEM AND WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU
GIVE FOR PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN MAY BE STRUGGLING WITH
ADDICTION?
>> IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT
QUESTION AND A GREAT QUESTION.
I HAD A BROTHER THAT WAS A
FANTASTIC GUY.
I TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH
ANDERSON ONCE --
>> YES, MY BROTHER KILLED
HIMSELF.
>> MY BROTHER WAS THIS GREAT
GUY, HANDSOME GUY, GREAT
PERSONAL BUT HE STARTED DRINKING
AND IT BECAME A REAL PROBLEM FOR
HIM.
HE USED TO TELL ME, DON'T EVER
DRINK AND HE SAID DON'T SPOKE.
IN THOSE DAYS IT WASN'T THE DRUG THING, IT WAS MORE THE ALCOHOL
THING.
TODAY YOU HAVE TO ADD THE WORD
DRUG.
HE KNEW HE HAD A PROBLEM AND HE
WAS ONE OF MY TRULY GREAT TEACHERS.
MY FATHER AND MY BROTHER. I SAID THAT ALL THE TIME.
MY BROTHER BECAUSE OF THIS AND
OTHER THINGS.
HE'D SAY DON'T EVER DRINK, DON'T EVER DRINK.
I'VE NEVER HAD A DRINK, I'VE
NEVER HAD A GLASS OF ALCOHOL AND YET I OWN THE LARGEST WINERY IN
THE EAST COAST BUT THAT'S OKAY.
MY BROTHER WAS SO INSTRUMENTAL
IN PROBABLY SHAPING MY LIFE
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN.
WHEN MY CHILDREN WAS GROWING UP, EVEN WHEN THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
DRINKING WAS I'D SAY NO ALCOHOL,
IN DRUGS, NO CIGARETTES.
I'D ADD CIGARETTES BECAUSE I
HAVE KIDS THAT SAY THEY CAN'T KICK IT.
I HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS THAT HAVE THAT PROBLEM.
IT'S A TOUGH WORLD TO START OUT.
BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THAT AS AN
ADDITIONAL PROBLEM, IT'S AWFULLY
TOUGH TO REALLY DO IT.
I TELL PARENTS KEEP YOUR KIDS
AWAY FROM THE DRUGS AND THE
ALCOHOL.
IT'S GOING TO MAKE THEIR LIFE
THAT MUCH EASIER.
I DON'T HAVE A LONGING FOR DRINKING BECAUSE I NEVER DRANK.
I HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS AND WE
WON'T TALK ABOUT THEM, OKAY, BUT
THE DRUGS AND THE ALCOHOL, SO
IMPORTANT THAT YOUR CHILDREN JUST STAY AWAY FROM IT.
>> WAS THAT SOMETHING YOU REMEMBER DISTINCTLY GROWING UP?
>> EVERY DAY OF OUR LIFE.
EVERY MORNING.
>> EVERY MORNING?
>> EVERY MORNING BEFORE SCHOOL.
>> AS YOUNG CHILDREN IT WAS
OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY EYE ROLLING.
>> SHE USED TO SAY, "DADDY,
DON'T SAY THAT ANYMORE."
>> BUT I JUST FELT IT WAS
IMPORTANT BECAUSE I'VE SEEN SO
MANY BRILLIANT YOUNG CHILDREN OF
WONDERFUL PARENTS DESTROYED BECAUSE THEY DRANK OR THEY TOOK
DRUGS.
>> I WANT YOU TO MEET DIANE
MORGAN.
SHE'S A TEACHER HERE IN
MANHATTAN WHO SAID SHE'S
SUPPORTING GOVERNOR KASICH. SHE HAS A QUESTION FOR YOU,
MR. TRUMP.
>> HELLO. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY
QUESTION.
I'M A MOM OF THREE, HERE IN NEW
YORK, ETHAN, JANE AND LAURA.
I'M WONDERING WHAT DO YOU
CONSIDER THE TWO OR THREE MOST
IMPORTANT FINANCIAL PRINCIPLES
TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN OR THAT
YOU'VE TAUGHT YOUR CHILDREN.
>> WELL, I'VE ALWAYS SAID AND I
MAKE SPEECHES ON THIS AND THEY
PAY ME A LOT OF MONEY AND I GIVE
IT TO CHARITIES AND I'M HAPPY
ABOUT IT AND I LOVE DOING IT BUT
I ALWAYS SAY YOU HAVE TO LOVE
WHAT YOU DO. SO IMPORTANT.
YOU CAN NEVER, EVER GIVE UP.
I SEE SO MANY PEOPLE WHERE THEY
HAVE TALENT AND THEY'RE VERY
SMART AND I SEE IT EVEN IN
SCHOOLS WHERE I WENT TO SCHOOL,
SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WEREN'T
REALLY AS SMART AS OTHER PEOPLE
ARE MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL NOW
BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST MORE
DRIVEN AND THEY NEVER, EVER QUIT OR GAVE UP.
AND KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING.
BUT YOU HAVE TO LOVE WHAT YOU
DO.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE IN A GREAT
BUSINESS, REAL ESTATE BUSINESS
HAS BEEN A GREAT BUSINESS, BUT
IF MY CHILDREN LIKE SOME OTHER
BUSINESS THAT WASN'T MAYBE AS GOOD A BUSINESS BUT THEY JUST
LOVED IT, I WOULD ABSOLUTELY
TELL THEM TO PURSUE THAT BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER BE HAPPY.
YOU HAVE TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO.
>> I WANT TO ASK YOU IN CLOSING
TO EACH OF YOU KIDS, I HATE TO SAY KIDS BUT IT MAKES ME FEEL
YOUNGER.
IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE COURSE
OF THIS CAMPAIGN ABOUT YOUR DAD
THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW?
>> I THINK IT'S AN AMAZING
QUESTION BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN SO MANY.
THE PERSEVERANCE.
WE ALWAYS KNEW IT WAS THERE BUT
GOING INTO SOMETHING AS A
FRESHMAN POLITICIAN AND BEING
THE STAR OF THE SUPER BOWL RIGHT
NOW, IT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
I THINK IT'S NOT SO MUCH I
LEARNED ANYTHING NEW, IT JUST
REINFORCED WHAT I ALREADY KNEW
ABOUT HIM AS JUST BEING JUST THE HARDEST WORKING GUY I'VE EVER
SEEN. I MEAN, IT'S JUST THE DRIVE, THE
WORK ETHIC THAT WE'VE SEEN OUR
WHOLE LIVES HAS BEEN REINFORCED
AT THIS STAGE IN HIS LIFE.
AFTER EVERY HE'S DONE TO WANT TO DO THIS AND DO THIS FOR THE
COUNTRY, IT'S REALLY SPECIAL.
>> IT'S A PASSION.
HE CAME INTO THIS RACE WITH SO
MUCH PASSION.
HE PUT EVERYTHING INTO IT, KIDS,
GO RUN THE COMPANY, TAKE ON THE COMPANY, DO WHAT YOU YOU'VE DONE
SO WELL, I'M GOING TO DO THIS.
HIS WHOLE CAREER, WHETHER IT'S BUILDING THE GREATEST BUILDINGS
IN THE WORLD, BUILDING ONE OF
GREAT HOTEL PORTFOLIOS AND NOW
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
HE HAS THE ABILITY TO TURN
THINGS INTO GOLD.
IT'S THE PASSION THAT MAKES HIM
SO SUCCESSFUL FOR WHAT HE DOES.
>> HE NEVER GIVES UP.
HE'S WORKS HARDER AND HARDER
OPINION AND HE'S ABLE TO BALANCE
EVERYTHING HE'S DOING ON THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL WITH HIS BUSINESS
AND ALSO TAKING CARE OF US AND
BEING SUCH APP AMAZING FATHER.
I THINK HAVING THOSE TWO
QUALITIES AND US RECEIVING SO
MUCH LOVE FROM HIM, EVEN WHEN HE'S SO BUSY IS AN AMAZING
QUALITY TO HAVE.
>> I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN MOST INSPIRED
BY IN OBSERVING MY FATHER IS THE
WAY THAT HE REALLY INSPIRES
OTHERS, THE WAY AT OUR COMPANY,
AT THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION, HE
WILL SET A VERY AGGRESSIVE, A
VERY BOLD VISION AND THEN REALLY
HELP PEOPLE FIND IT, HELP PEOPLE
BOTH UNEARTH THEIR OWN POTENTIAL
AND ALSO
