0:00
But I want to personally congratulate
0:02
CNN's Kaitlan Collins
0:05
on receiving her award.
0:08
It was all about me. It's a fake. She
0:10
shouldn't get the award. It was a fake.
0:11
But I didn't mind. I said, "Kaitlan,
0:15
But it was fake. There's no question
0:16
about it. But she's a
0:18
young, attractive woman. She never
0:20
smiles. I said, "Kaitlan, do you ever
0:23
Smile. You have a nice position. You're
0:27
at CNN fake news. You should be a happy
0:30
person. So, smile, Kaitlan. Just smile."
0:33
we attack and I thought Kaitlan had
0:36
really made it big with a major new
0:39
sponsorship. But then I informed her
0:42
that it wasn't her on the Bud Light can.
0:45
It was Dylan Mulvaney.
0:48
And Dylan Mulvaney cost Bud Light $35
0:54
in market cap. That was the worst
0:57
commercial ever made, by the way, for
0:58
those few people that want to hear that.
1:00
Most people don't care, but I would. I
1:02
wouldn't want to hire Dylan anytime
1:03
soon. Think of it. They hired Dylan
1:06
Mulvaney and their market cap has gone
1:08
down by $35 billion. Who wrote that
1:13
And then you have writer Josh Dawsey.
1:16
He also received He's been killing me
1:17
for years. No, he's been And yet tonight
1:20
he shakes my hand. He hugs me.
1:23
He kills me. Josh is amazing. He writes
1:26
more stories than any human being.
1:28
There's nobody that writes more than
1:30
Josh. He'll write four stories about me
1:32
a day, all different subjects.
1:34
I mean, I had the other day three
1:36
stories and one on the
1:39
I but he was upset about this. One was
1:41
on page seven, three were on page one.
1:42
They were all written by Josh. But he's
1:47
And he's a workhorse. And yet
1:49
he's almost unhirable. You know, you
1:51
hired He's just one of these guys Wall
1:53
Street Journal's lucky to have him.
1:55
But you really is a it's unbelievable.
1:58
He's almost unhireable. CNN
2:03
and I'm very disappointed they didn't
2:05
bring fake Tapper because
2:07
he's had a rough couple of years, fake
2:09
news. You know, he calls me up every
2:10
once in a while. If I pick it up, you
2:12
know, I pick up my phone. I used to go
2:14
to this young lady, I say
2:16
any calls from the press? No, sir.
2:20
Now I'm the president of the United
2:23
I'd say to Steven Chung, is Steven here
2:25
someplace? Where's Steven? He's one of
2:27
the toughest human beings I've ever met.
2:29
Don't ever wrestle Steven, you'll be in
2:32
But I say, Steven, let me ask you, did
2:34
the press call? No, sir.
2:37
Huh. You know, when I was a developer, I
2:39
get a call every half an hour for I for
2:41
whatever reason, I always got
2:42
disproportionate press.
2:45
nobody called? No, sir.
2:47
Uh 2 hours later I say, hi Steven, how
2:49
are we doing? Everything good? Anybody
2:50
call? No, sir, no press calls.
2:53
I said I'm president, no. They never
2:55
called. So this went on for about a
2:56
week. I'd say, Caroline, did the press
2:59
call? No, sir, no calls.
3:01
I said nothing. That's over a week, I
3:03
haven't received a call. So I said, you
3:05
know what? I'm going to give the press
3:07
my phone number. That was the stupidest
3:11
I'm getting a call every 3.7 minutes.
3:15
Steven, I don't know where the hell
3:18
But the press calls. I'm getting calls.
3:20
Ring, ring. I was with somebody today.
3:23
They said, I've never heard a phone ring
3:24
as much as this press. Now I look at the
3:26
thing and usually just delete, delete,
3:28
delete. Every once in a while
3:31
it'll be one of the people in this room
3:34
and I'll pick it up. Like this one right
3:37
here calls me on occasion, right?
3:39
She'll call me, she says, hello, sir.
3:43
we want to talk about some horrible
3:45
subject, like a horrible depressing
3:47
subject. I say, Jack, I don't want to
3:49
talk about congratulations, however, on
3:51
your new marriage. But I don't want to
3:53
talk about it, but it's true, and people
3:56
call me now, and and so for weeks I go
3:58
no calls, and I learned then that
4:04
they feel that I'm doing a great job,
4:06
and they feel I'm above it all,
4:10
hundreds of people call, no person is
4:12
good enough to talk to Trump. And so we
4:15
don't even bother telling you. That's
4:16
not the way it works, Carolyn. You have
4:19
to let me know, because sometimes I do
4:21
want I do like to speak to the press,
4:23
but now I have the best system I've ever
4:24
had. It rings, and just so you
4:26
understand, you're much better putting
4:28
your name, cuz if there's no name, I
4:29
just I just can't do that. You know, I
4:31
pick up every once in a while. Hello,
4:34
I'm from Reno, Nevada. We're a startup
4:36
paper. We're calling it
4:39
the Reno Express. I said, "Do you
4:42
believe I'm I'm the president of the
4:43
United States?" "Mr. President, could I
4:45
have your views on Iran?"
4:49
No, I get the craziest calls. I mean,
4:51
some of them My wife said, "I can't
4:53
believe you do this. This is a hell of a
4:55
way to live." But sometimes I get calls
4:57
from very important Sometimes I can
4:58
straighten out stories that are going to
5:00
be fake, and I can make them from a fake
5:02
story to a good story. I always find
5:04
that when you don't speak to the press,
5:06
you always get a bad story. When you do
5:08
speak to the press, you have a shot at
5:10
getting a good story. Oh, look.
5:15
look, if I were a reporter, and let's
5:17
say I'm a big reporter, I work for the
5:19
failing New York Times, or I work for
5:22
Well, I don't know. Do they ever come to
5:23
these things? Didn't they cancel out a
5:25
long time ago? Big mistake. They should
5:27
They should be here. But I get a call.
5:29
I've always found that, you know,
5:35
You do better. When you can, when you
5:36
have the time, you speak to the
5:38
reporter, you treat the reporter with
5:40
respect. Sometimes now there are
5:42
reporters where it doesn't matter. You
5:44
can be so nice to them, it doesn't
5:46
matter. You get treated unfairly. But
5:47
you have a lot of great reporters where
5:48
when you speak to them, you can get your
5:50
point across, and that's a that's a good
