00:00:16.429 --> 00:00:18.940
Erin served as a spokesperson for Trump in 2016.
00:00:19.803 --> 00:00:22.862
Was deputy press secretary at the Republican National Convention.
00:00:22.893 --> 00:00:27.092
Aaron originally connected with Trump as a competitor on The Apprentice.
00:00:27.263 --> 00:00:28.213
And we're going to get into it.
00:00:29.115 --> 00:00:29.295
Yeah.
00:00:35.765 --> 00:00:38.795
Erin Elmore, thanks for joining us.
00:00:38.795 --> 00:00:39.831
for having me.
00:00:39.831 --> 00:00:42.655
I know you have decorated background.
00:00:42.676 --> 00:00:46.725
You are an attorney, an author, a Turning Point contributor, and much more.
00:00:46.985 --> 00:00:48.615
Curious to pick your brain about a few things today.
00:00:48.765 --> 00:00:51.625
I can't wait, this is gonna be fun, and I love that we have a family affair going on.
00:00:51.746 --> 00:00:52.875
Alright, perfect.
00:00:53.615 --> 00:00:56.606
How did you get into commentating and politics?
00:00:57.085 --> 00:00:57.975
That's a great question.
00:00:58.006 --> 00:01:03.665
So, I have an undergraduate degree in political science and broadcasting, and I've always wanted to be a journalist.
00:01:04.156 --> 00:01:07.915
However, my dad and mom thought, you like to argue, you should go to law school.
00:01:07.956 --> 00:01:17.230
So, after I went straight to law school, and then about six months later, there was a television show called The Apprentice, and Donald Trump was the host.
00:01:17.561 --> 00:01:18.811
You guys weren't even born yet.
00:01:19.230 --> 00:01:22.960
You were just floating in the sky, but it was the number one show on TV.
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.370
Everybody was obsessed with it.
00:01:24.370 --> 00:01:25.131
It was huge.
00:01:25.460 --> 00:01:26.331
I got on that show.
00:01:26.331 --> 00:01:28.001
I think three million people tried out.
00:01:28.021 --> 00:01:28.771
It was huge.
00:01:28.820 --> 00:01:29.281
Big league.
00:01:29.281 --> 00:01:29.620
Huge.
00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:29.921
Huge.
00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:32.831
And, so, after The Apprentice.
00:01:33.460 --> 00:01:34.760
Donald Trump said, what do you want to do?
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.620
And he helped me get a job in journalism, and I was a journalist for about 10 years.
00:01:39.090 --> 00:01:43.510
And then in 2015, when he came down the golden escalator, I called his assistant, I said, I'm quitting my job.
00:01:43.510 --> 00:01:45.001
I want to come work for you.
00:01:45.471 --> 00:01:47.141
So I left everything I was doing.
00:01:47.490 --> 00:01:49.171
I became a campaign spokesperson.
00:01:49.510 --> 00:01:50.671
I was a campaign spokesperson.
00:01:50.691 --> 00:01:54.581
And then I was the deputy press secretary at the RNC in Cleveland in 2016.
00:01:55.671 --> 00:01:56.861
So I've been a spokesperson.
00:01:57.186 --> 00:02:00.436
for Trump on all three elections, 1620 and 2024.
00:02:00.436 --> 00:02:02.206
I've been on Fox News a lot of times.
00:02:02.885 --> 00:02:05.635
Been on Newsmax, One American News, RAB, all of the things.
00:02:05.646 --> 00:02:07.786
So now you have my whole history and that's how I did it.
00:02:08.105 --> 00:02:08.436
Perfect.
00:02:08.985 --> 00:02:11.056
I, I got a follow up about The Apprentice.
00:02:11.086 --> 00:02:13.605
I don't remember what year it was, but Long time ago.
00:02:13.645 --> 00:02:14.816
Let's not de date myself.
00:02:14.816 --> 00:02:17.156
What, what did you get fired for?
00:02:17.756 --> 00:02:20.395
Well, I was kind of a princess in Home Depot.
00:02:20.705 --> 00:02:21.186
Okay.
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.050
Because I was like, I like crowns, but not crown molding.
00:02:24.061 --> 00:02:24.901
It was kind of funny.
00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:26.350
Someone has to go every week.
00:02:26.350 --> 00:02:31.890
I was on all but like two episodes, and afterwards we maintained relationship for all those years.
00:02:31.890 --> 00:02:53.346
He congratulated me on the birth of my son, and on my wedding, and wrote me letters of recommendation, it's I hear so many stories about Trump like that, like, he's very thoughtful in terms of following up with people that he's connected with, and, so many people trash him and talk about, like, what a horrible person he is, but I hear so many of these stories where he writes, like, handwritten letters, he texts on birthdays, and special events, and funny.
00:02:53.616 --> 00:02:53.806
Yeah.
00:02:54.216 --> 00:02:54.455
Yeah.
00:02:55.286 --> 00:02:56.496
You don't hear those stories, right?
00:02:56.496 --> 00:02:58.096
The mainstream media won't humanize him.
00:02:58.096 --> 00:02:58.175
Yeah.
00:02:58.175 --> 00:02:58.455
Yeah.
00:02:58.841 --> 00:02:59.721
Yeah, it's too bad.
00:02:59.890 --> 00:03:00.790
It is, but you know what?
00:03:00.790 --> 00:03:02.091
It doesn't matter because we won.
00:03:02.281 --> 00:03:02.741
That's right.
00:03:02.811 --> 00:03:03.341
You know what?
00:03:03.341 --> 00:03:17.040
We won across every Demographic essentially and we really made inroads and every demographic essentially and I think now the people have spoken So those who don't want to get in line, they can go be miserable at MSNBC.
00:03:17.121 --> 00:03:17.790
Go pound sand.
00:03:17.931 --> 00:03:24.550
Yeah, so What is really like unique about Trump and what is a Trump?
00:03:25.586 --> 00:03:26.341
Surrogate?
00:03:26.341 --> 00:03:27.096
Surrogate.
00:03:27.096 --> 00:03:28.605
Yeah, surrogate.
00:03:28.605 --> 00:03:31.756
Yeah, so a jump surrogate just simply means a spokesperson.
00:03:32.406 --> 00:03:34.086
So it's just got a fancy political word, right?
00:03:34.406 --> 00:03:43.286
So a surrogate means spokesperson, so that means that you get on calls with the campaign and you read briefings that they send you and you do television news hits.
00:03:43.306 --> 00:03:44.985
Like a hit is just an airing.
00:03:45.366 --> 00:03:53.256
So you do TV hits, you can write articles, you just really gather a lot of information so you're up to date on a day to day basis with everything that the campaign is doing.
00:03:53.651 --> 00:03:54.980
What is unique about Trump?
00:03:55.411 --> 00:03:59.501
I mean, I, well, personally I think he's a once in a lifetime person, right?
00:03:59.501 --> 00:04:02.420
He is lightning in a bottle, as they say.
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.561
You know, people didn't really, people like voted before the Trump phenomenon.
00:04:06.580 --> 00:04:10.311
People, voted and cared about what was going on, but now it's a lifestyle.
00:04:10.570 --> 00:04:10.661
Yeah.
00:04:10.770 --> 00:04:11.121
Right?
00:04:11.401 --> 00:04:14.950
It's hats, it's rallies, it's songs, it's dances.
00:04:15.020 --> 00:04:15.270
Yeah.
00:04:15.290 --> 00:04:16.860
It's Turning Point USA.
00:04:16.860 --> 00:04:22.331
When I voted for Donald Trump for the last time, I cried because I was like, I'm never going to get to vote for him again.
00:04:22.870 --> 00:04:27.141
Because this is such a special part of my life and no one can do it like he does.
00:04:27.151 --> 00:04:30.350
This can't be replicated or duplicated and that's what I think is special about him.
00:04:30.350 --> 00:04:31.360
Short answer, everything.
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:31.870
Yeah.
00:04:32.331 --> 00:04:34.451
Well, you boys have had some strong opinions about merch.
00:04:34.550 --> 00:04:35.011
What do you think?
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:35.651

00:04:44.865 --> 00:04:47.115

00:04:59.586 --> 00:05:00.375

00:05:08.591 --> 00:05:09.755
Yeah, it's mid.
00:05:09.755 --> 00:05:10.901
It's mid.
00:05:10.901 --> 00:05:11.821
I'm gonna ask them a question.
00:05:12.031 --> 00:05:13.230
Do you guys know what glazing is?
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:13.880

00:05:14.290 --> 00:05:17.031
Oh, that's when you Like, my son will tell me, Stop glazing.
00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:20.581
So that means like, if you're sucking up to someone, like you're being all nice.
00:05:21.141 --> 00:05:22.411
It's like, they're so glazing.
00:05:23.110 --> 00:05:24.180
Yeah, you didn't know that one?
00:05:24.451 --> 00:05:25.271
I never knew that one.
00:05:25.321 --> 00:05:26.411
Alright, you'll learn, yeah.
00:05:26.411 --> 00:05:26.971

00:05:33.185 --> 00:05:33.815

Exactly.
00:05:40.146 --> 00:05:40.206
Yeah.
00:05:40.206 --> 00:05:41.375
It's like from a game.
00:05:41.646 --> 00:05:42.156
Charisma.
00:05:42.966 --> 00:05:43.266
Yeah.
00:05:43.266 --> 00:05:43.896
That's Riz.
00:05:44.615 --> 00:05:44.975
Yeah.
00:05:45.096 --> 00:05:47.295
So I like what's like, Ohio?
00:05:47.295 --> 00:05:48.586
It's sc What's that?
00:05:48.615 --> 00:05:49.216
I don't know.
00:05:49.216 --> 00:05:49.665
It's some, yeah.
00:05:49.995 --> 00:05:52.396
I forget that's, that's, I, we don't know either.
00:05:52.995 --> 00:05:55.697
Yeah, I heard that one's like one that some of the kids were saying for a minute.
00:05:56.446 --> 00:05:56.846
Wow.
00:05:57.045 --> 00:06:01.315
Yeah, well, the boys showed me My class is addicted to brain rot.
00:06:01.815 --> 00:06:02.696
Okay, what's that?
00:06:03.036 --> 00:06:04.065
Like, like, Skibbity Toilet.
00:06:04.065 --> 00:06:07.206
Brain rot is like Skibbity Toilet, Ohio.
00:06:07.206 --> 00:06:08.915
Yeah, that's, that's That, that junk.
00:06:08.956 --> 00:06:09.315
Yeah.
00:06:09.536 --> 00:06:10.886
It's just a bunch of words, right?
00:06:11.346 --> 00:06:13.971
They showed me Skibbity Toilet and I was like, What the heck?
00:06:13.971 --> 00:06:14.737
How is this popular?
00:06:14.737 --> 00:06:16.915
And we don't get why Ohio is a part of it.
00:06:16.995 --> 00:06:17.935
Like, LeBron or something?
00:06:18.625 --> 00:06:22.196
I think it's because there's like a train wreck thing in Ohio.
00:06:22.196 --> 00:06:23.216
Oh yeah, we know about that.
00:06:23.576 --> 00:06:24.036
East Palestine.
00:06:24.615 --> 00:06:29.886
Yeah, and I think it's where they say that everything crazy happens in Ohio.
00:06:30.136 --> 00:06:30.576
Okay.
00:06:30.846 --> 00:06:32.045
Yeah, that sounds about right.
00:06:32.656 --> 00:06:34.795
And there was a crazy toilet in Ohio.
00:06:36.016 --> 00:06:36.295
Yeah.
00:06:36.295 --> 00:06:37.826
With a talking head that comes out.
00:06:37.826 --> 00:06:38.946
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:39.055 --> 00:06:42.120
I've actually never seen the Skippity Toilet video.
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:43.906
Well, maybe today's the day.
00:06:44.045 --> 00:06:45.235
I hope I never do.
00:06:45.586 --> 00:06:46.576
Maybe today's not the day.
00:06:46.641 --> 00:06:49.591
I love this.
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.000
What else are you guys into?
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.040
That's what I want to talk about.
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:52.831
Forget about me.
00:06:53.721 --> 00:06:55.521
Well, we're also here for you, right?
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:56.560
Oh, well, okay.
00:06:56.630 --> 00:06:56.951
Alright.
00:06:56.951 --> 00:07:00.411
Alright, so what's, what's like a burning question then?
00:07:00.440 --> 00:07:01.170
Tell me something.
00:07:01.591 --> 00:07:02.711
You can ask me something silly.
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:04.221
Anything you want.
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.790
Well, were you inspired to go into the apprenticeship?
00:07:09.031 --> 00:07:11.850
Because it was like number one and also Trump was on it.
00:07:11.850 --> 00:07:19.781
Yeah Absolutely, I mean it was the number one show on TV It was a big deal and I knew it would change my life and it has what is the apprentice?
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:37.680
It's a good question So it's a reality TV show Where a bunch of business people are auditioning for a job with Donald Trump So every week you do a different task like you have to You know, we, on our first one, we like worked at a Burger King and see who would generate more money and Yeah.
00:07:37.690 --> 00:07:38.951
So different things like that.
00:07:39.420 --> 00:07:43.571
We had to like paint a mural in Harlem and I forget what, but this is, we're going back a long time now.
00:07:43.850 --> 00:07:48.730
So every week someone gets fired and the last person standing at the end gets a job with Donald Trump.
00:07:48.730 --> 00:07:50.971
That's a good idea.
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:51.810
Sure was.
00:07:51.971 --> 00:07:52.180
Yeah.
00:07:52.211 --> 00:07:53.841
And other people tried to do it and it failed.
00:07:53.841 --> 00:07:55.610
It was, again, the Donald Trump factor.
00:07:56.110 --> 00:07:56.221
Yeah.
00:07:56.370 --> 00:07:57.771
Donald Trump's good with that stuff.
00:07:57.771 --> 00:08:02.235
You should actually watch, like, it, because it's a whole, like it's a, it's a It's not like risque.
00:08:02.235 --> 00:08:03.355
It's a family show.
00:08:03.396 --> 00:08:03.675
Yeah.
00:08:04.026 --> 00:08:05.336
There's the great lessons in it.
00:08:05.526 --> 00:08:05.745
Yeah.
00:08:05.745 --> 00:08:06.675
It's classic Trump.
00:08:07.255 --> 00:08:07.646
It is.
00:08:07.766 --> 00:08:08.045
Yeah.
00:08:09.276 --> 00:08:09.855
Write it down.
00:08:09.966 --> 00:08:10.386
Okay.
00:08:10.435 --> 00:08:11.196
We'll check it out.
00:08:11.196 --> 00:08:11.505
Yeah.
00:08:11.505 --> 00:08:12.555
And you get to see him go.
00:08:12.636 --> 00:08:13.406
You're fired.
00:08:13.636 --> 00:08:13.855
Yeah.
00:08:13.855 --> 00:08:14.865
People say, did you get fired?
00:08:14.865 --> 00:08:16.545
I'm like, I got fired and then I got hired.
00:08:17.755 --> 00:08:22.185
I was maybe a younger like manager or leader in business at that time.
00:08:22.185 --> 00:08:25.725
And I remember watching just the way he dealt with people in terms of giving them critical feedback.
00:08:26.466 --> 00:08:29.855
Like, it wasn't mean, but honest, and sometimes, well, you know, edgy.
00:08:30.875 --> 00:08:32.306
And I guess part of that's for TV ratings.
00:08:32.846 --> 00:08:35.686
But I just remember thinking, wow, you know, that is really powerful.
00:08:35.686 --> 00:08:39.686
You need to give people honest, critical feedback, or they really don't get better.
00:08:40.105 --> 00:08:45.546
And if you lie to people and tell them, like, oh, you're doing great, then you're not doing them any service.
00:08:46.125 --> 00:08:49.046
And so I took that to heart, and I tried to do that.
00:08:49.046 --> 00:08:50.326
It takes practice, you know.
00:08:50.365 --> 00:08:53.875
Obviously, like, Trump had years of practicing giving people feedback.
00:08:54.416 --> 00:08:57.725
I got better at it over my career, and I think that helped people get better.
00:08:57.725 --> 00:08:58.000
Yeah.
00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:58.275
Yeah.
00:08:58.275 --> 00:08:59.926
And have some fun doing it.
00:08:59.926 --> 00:09:00.145
Yeah.
00:09:00.145 --> 00:09:01.066
Honest conversations.
00:09:01.066 --> 00:09:05.676
And we, sometimes we talk with the boys about, sometimes, you know, honesty is, is compassion.
00:09:05.676 --> 00:09:10.265
And, you know, there's uncomfortable things like, hey, how do I look in this outfit?
00:09:11.005 --> 00:09:11.635
Not good, Dad.
00:09:11.686 --> 00:09:12.035
Okay.
00:09:12.245 --> 00:09:15.316
Like, I need that honesty, and then I can, you know, I can change my outfit or whatever.
00:09:15.316 --> 00:09:17.015
And you can say it with kindness, right guys?
00:09:17.405 --> 00:09:20.696
That's what I'm working on with my son is just effective communication.
00:09:20.885 --> 00:09:21.166
Yeah.
00:09:21.166 --> 00:09:22.285
Have you heard of Leonard Sack?
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.831
I heard the name, not super familiar.
00:09:24.831 --> 00:09:25.721
Do yourself a favor.
00:09:25.730 --> 00:09:29.041
Leonard Sachs, he's a MD, PhD, and he's on our side.
00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:29.591
Okay.
00:09:29.650 --> 00:09:30.801
He gives the best parenting advice.
00:09:30.801 --> 00:09:31.921
I've downloaded all his books.
00:09:32.711 --> 00:09:35.610
And it's a great way because we all need to learn how to communicate with each other, right?
00:09:35.910 --> 00:09:36.150
Yeah.
00:09:36.201 --> 00:09:37.181
I'm really working on that.
00:09:37.280 --> 00:09:37.780
Mm hmm.
00:09:38.191 --> 00:09:40.581
Dad, you really need to, What are you trying to tell me?
00:09:41.921 --> 00:09:43.360
You're making me You gotta work out more?
00:09:43.811 --> 00:09:46.301
Oh, you look, you guys are all doing great.
00:09:47.230 --> 00:09:48.301
Ah, he's good.
00:09:48.510 --> 00:09:48.910
Shave?
00:09:49.041 --> 00:09:50.071
Oh, that's the look.
00:09:50.191 --> 00:09:51.240
Babe, that's the look.
00:09:51.250 --> 00:09:51.600
Yeah.
00:09:51.831 --> 00:09:52.571
Yeah, you gotta do it.
00:09:52.591 --> 00:09:53.150
You gotta do it.
00:09:53.431 --> 00:09:54.571
It's the scruff.
00:09:54.571 --> 00:09:55.821
It's the 5 o'clock shadow look.
00:09:55.821 --> 00:09:56.130
That's right.
00:09:56.171 --> 00:09:56.971
Mom loves it.
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:01.360
I used to do the clean shave, but now everybody's kinda Yeah, I kinda I like the beard.
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:01.831
You do?
00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:02.600
I mean, yeah.
00:10:02.701 --> 00:10:03.291
It's not bad.
00:10:03.791 --> 00:10:04.171
Yeah.
00:10:04.171 --> 00:10:04.500
There's a little character.
00:10:04.691 --> 00:10:08.061
I mean, you kinda have to just shave it like once in a while, but otherwise Some zone, yeah.
00:10:08.110 --> 00:10:10.791
Like, you don't wanna look like Gandalf, but otherwise Gandalf.
00:10:10.791 --> 00:10:14.581
I mean, that's like That's like a That's what That's good.
00:10:15.051 --> 00:10:19.020
With my son's father, he made him grow a beard and his hair long, so for like a year.
00:10:19.291 --> 00:10:19.650
Okay.
00:10:19.701 --> 00:10:25.730
And then, all of a sudden, my son, his name is Royce, he woke up one day and said, I'm done with all this, cut your hair and shave your beard.
00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:26.880
And, he did it.
00:10:26.890 --> 00:10:29.000
So, it's like, it's being able to adapt, right?
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.941
We call that pivoting.
00:10:30.051 --> 00:10:30.811
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:31.530 --> 00:10:31.900
Wow.
00:10:32.910 --> 00:10:33.961
Wait, did he look like Gandalf?
00:10:34.130 --> 00:10:36.191
No, he, he, he kept it short.
00:10:36.671 --> 00:10:37.360
But his hair got long.
00:10:38.066 --> 00:10:39.306
Like he could do a little ponytail.
00:10:39.875 --> 00:10:40.096
Whoa.
00:10:40.105 --> 00:10:41.775
Well, Max is getting close.
00:10:41.785 --> 00:10:43.409
He's got a, he's got kind of a mullet thing going.
00:10:43.409 --> 00:10:45.125
You've got a business in the front party in the back.
00:10:45.176 --> 00:10:46.265
Conservative mullet right there.
00:10:46.265 --> 00:10:47.645
Yes, conservative mullet.
00:10:48.115 --> 00:10:48.535
I like it.
00:10:48.535 --> 00:10:49.025
I don't like it.
00:10:49.086 --> 00:10:50.395
Well, you don't have to have it then, right?
00:10:50.405 --> 00:10:51.296
Don't yuck his yum, right?
00:10:51.296 --> 00:10:52.946
And he doesn't.
00:10:52.946 --> 00:10:56.196
In the middle of the night, I really just want to come into his bedroom.
00:10:56.546 --> 00:10:58.706
Well, I'll wake up because my door is so loud.
00:10:58.956 --> 00:11:00.556
Well, here's the thing, right?
00:11:00.586 --> 00:11:08.191
You have what benefits you and makes you happy and that's why You guys are different, and if, you know, he respects you, and you respect him.
00:11:08.441 --> 00:11:09.181
Where do you guys live?
00:11:09.671 --> 00:11:10.020
Here.
00:11:10.471 --> 00:11:11.370
Oh, in Phoenix.
00:11:11.370 --> 00:11:12.671
Alright, well we live in Palm Beach.
00:11:13.331 --> 00:11:17.630
So, luckily where we live, it's like cool to be conservative.
00:11:17.941 --> 00:11:18.321
Okay.
00:11:18.650 --> 00:11:25.120
But, if you find yourself with people that don't share your values, don't stoop down to their level.
00:11:25.410 --> 00:11:29.730
If they lash out and make insults towards you, just say, you know what?
00:11:30.201 --> 00:11:31.250
Let's agree to disagree.
00:11:31.250 --> 00:11:33.431
Because it's not worth it for you to make yourself look bad.
00:11:33.451 --> 00:11:35.811
You always want to be the best version of yourself.
00:11:36.431 --> 00:11:40.150
And being petty and low like that is not the best version of yourself.
00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:42.331
And find more conservative friends.
00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:45.691
You guys have some good friends.
00:11:45.770 --> 00:11:51.311
Yeah, well most of mine, the thing is Two of my friends, their parents wanted Kamala Harris to win the election.
00:11:51.441 --> 00:11:51.500
Okay.
00:11:51.711 --> 00:11:53.581
But, I mean, they're still friends of mine.
00:11:53.630 --> 00:11:53.931
Sure.
00:11:54.041 --> 00:11:58.520
Cause, like, when you're young, they're really not old enough to, like, vote.
00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:01.581
So then you can really be, like, friends with anyone.
00:12:01.581 --> 00:12:04.500
But then once you kind of grow up, you can still kind of have that.
00:12:04.750 --> 00:12:07.431
But normally you want someone that's kind of on your side.
00:12:07.431 --> 00:12:08.520
Yeah, or similar values.
00:12:08.610 --> 00:12:09.890
You know what, that's really astute.
00:12:09.921 --> 00:12:17.130
Because what you're saying is, is you can put aside your differences to still have a really nice friendship based upon what are your similarities.
00:12:17.130 --> 00:12:18.667
Mm hmm.
00:12:18.667 --> 00:12:19.436
Yeah.
00:12:20.086 --> 00:12:20.956
I like that, Max.
00:12:21.235 --> 00:12:22.135
And you've got some buddies.
00:12:22.495 --> 00:12:23.125
Are they a mix?
00:12:23.166 --> 00:12:23.586
What do you think?
00:12:24.056 --> 00:12:28.135
One of them was, but he's starting to transition to more of what I like.
00:12:28.336 --> 00:12:29.355
Transition?
00:12:29.895 --> 00:12:30.206
No.
00:12:30.485 --> 00:12:37.235
Well, the word transition doesn't always mean Yeah, it doesn't always mean just transitioning into a girl or a boy.
00:12:37.235 --> 00:12:38.566
Transition means a change.
00:12:38.566 --> 00:12:38.916
Yeah.
00:12:39.916 --> 00:12:44.765
So he's moving over to your side, to our side, to the right side, to the logical side.
00:12:45.186 --> 00:12:46.505
I have no clue, but I think.
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.870
Yeah, do you think it's because you guys talk about it a bit as friends?
00:12:49.921 --> 00:12:51.520
Oh, yeah, we definitely talk about it.
00:12:51.520 --> 00:12:53.951
It's turned into like a conversation.
00:12:54.091 --> 00:12:55.030
Okay, really?
00:12:55.270 --> 00:12:57.760
I have some very fun friends.
00:12:58.091 --> 00:13:00.030
So you like debate with other kids at school?
00:13:00.280 --> 00:13:01.591
No, not normally.
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:02.240
Oh, I do.
00:13:03.191 --> 00:13:04.942
Just give me one topic.
00:13:04.942 --> 00:13:17.965
Mostly one time, actually, it was like, maybe like five days before the election, it was where My friend wanted Kamala Harris and the next thing you know, he was like, because blah blah blah blah blah blah, and he was like, because Trump's bad.
00:13:18.455 --> 00:13:20.945
And so the next thing you know, then I said, why is he bad?
00:13:21.105 --> 00:13:21.565
Of course.
00:13:21.804 --> 00:13:23.095
And then he was like, because.
00:13:23.254 --> 00:13:23.554
Yeah.
00:13:23.554 --> 00:13:24.705
Because he did wrong things.
00:13:24.705 --> 00:13:25.739
I'm like, what are the wrong things?
00:13:25.739 --> 00:13:26.225
Yeah, name one.
00:13:26.225 --> 00:13:28.475
I just, yeah, I just keep asking why.
00:13:28.764 --> 00:13:31.125
And he, and he was like, never mind, and he just walks away.
00:13:31.184 --> 00:13:32.245
See, you won that argument.
00:13:32.274 --> 00:13:34.105
You should be on the, oh, I just got my son on debate team.
00:13:34.105 --> 00:13:34.789
You guys gotta get on debate team.
00:13:35.909 --> 00:13:36.779
Yeah, we're working on that.
00:13:36.779 --> 00:13:38.870
Well, we, yeah, we work with somebody too.
00:13:38.870 --> 00:13:39.200
Yeah.
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:40.610
Are you homeschooled?
00:13:41.210 --> 00:13:41.809
No.
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:42.409
Charter.
00:13:42.710 --> 00:13:44.159
Charter, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, got it.
00:13:44.669 --> 00:13:44.929
Close enough.
00:13:45.049 --> 00:13:47.649
You know, adults are kind of the same way though, aren't they?
00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:49.759
In terms of, well, why are you voting for Harris?
00:13:49.789 --> 00:13:51.820
Well, because she's not Donald Trump.
00:13:52.139 --> 00:13:53.480
Right, of course she's a black woman.
00:13:53.629 --> 00:13:54.259
Identity politics.
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.179
Yeah, it's pretty It's pretty wild.
00:13:56.179 --> 00:13:57.462
Now, what do you not like about Trump?
00:13:57.462 --> 00:14:01.450
Because, I remember Sometimes people have a hard time Like, they can't Okay, tell me what was racist.
00:14:02.179 --> 00:14:09.470
And also, like, the thing is, some people are like, because she's going to be, like, the first woman president Right! Like, that isn't really a metric of success.
00:14:09.470 --> 00:14:13.990
Yeah, who lives, like, it doesn't really matter about what, like, sex you are, basically.
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:22.580
It just matters about what you, like, what you, like, believe in, what you're gonna do that's gonna help America and all that.
00:14:22.690 --> 00:14:23.110
So, yeah.
00:14:23.419 --> 00:14:28.980
Maybe like, if there was a crazy old man and a very smart woman, I would have voted for a very smart woman.
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:30.769
As long as, well, if she agreed with, yes.
00:14:30.950 --> 00:14:31.190
I'm not sexist.
00:14:31.190 --> 00:14:31.570
No, you're not.
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:33.100
If she agrees with our values.
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.549
Yeah, if she, we don't care if you're a man or a woman, what color you are, it's just about your values and your policies.
00:14:37.549 --> 00:14:38.455
Exactly.
00:14:38.455 --> 00:14:39.360
Yeah.
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:39.440
Exactly.
00:14:39.909 --> 00:14:41.038
Back to Trump maybe.
00:14:41.038 --> 00:14:42.937
So now, he's already working hard.
00:14:42.937 --> 00:14:47.128
He's getting his cabinet, set up and in place and we love a lot of these picks.
00:14:47.138 --> 00:14:48.248
A couple have been controversial.
00:14:48.842 --> 00:14:51.413
Ultimately, we've, we're very optimistic.
00:14:51.712 --> 00:14:54.113
Doge is already, like, getting some traction.
00:14:54.113 --> 00:14:54.822
Yeah, I love it.
00:14:54.832 --> 00:14:58.523
And so, what are you maybe most optimistic about?
00:14:59.332 --> 00:14:59.763
Everything.
00:14:59.913 --> 00:15:02.452
I mean, I, I really think that this is a fresh start for us.
00:15:02.533 --> 00:15:06.442
And I love that, as bad as the last four years were, I think they were necessary.
00:15:06.523 --> 00:15:06.822
Yeah.
00:15:06.932 --> 00:15:10.663
Enough people had to see the open border touch every single solitary state.
00:15:10.673 --> 00:15:12.243
Had to see how expensive groceries were.
00:15:12.263 --> 00:15:13.952
Couldn't put gas in their car.
00:15:14.413 --> 00:15:28.812
The boys and girls sports affecting people's families and communities and daughter's ability to get a scholarship And I think all of these things had to happen for people to wake up and say I'm voting for Trump And now he's like unencumbered right he can go in there.
00:15:29.222 --> 00:15:31.472
He doesn't have to worry about another term, right?
00:15:31.482 --> 00:15:39.182
He's just gonna go in there gangbusters and be like, I don't care I don't think he should ever do another media interview again like why I don't need to yeah Yeah.
00:15:39.182 --> 00:15:40.182
So I'm excited about everything.
00:15:40.243 --> 00:15:41.309
I think that's it.
00:15:41.309 --> 00:15:42.283
That's a really good point.
00:15:42.283 --> 00:15:42.722
Four years.
00:15:42.923 --> 00:15:44.613
We got four years to get a lot of work done.
00:15:44.613 --> 00:15:45.633
We cannot rest.
00:15:45.743 --> 00:15:47.842
And we gotta set ourself up for the future.
00:15:47.883 --> 00:15:48.253
Yes.
00:15:48.533 --> 00:15:49.663
And we have a good bench.
00:15:49.753 --> 00:15:51.393
I think there's a lot of potential.
00:15:51.393 --> 00:15:53.393
I also like the fact that he doesn't have another term.
00:15:53.393 --> 00:15:54.393
A lot of presidents will come in.
00:15:54.393 --> 00:15:54.712
I love it.
00:15:54.812 --> 00:15:57.663
And then they have to immediately start campaigning for their next term.
00:15:57.842 --> 00:15:59.607
I have one more funny question to ask you.
00:15:59.607 --> 00:15:59.927
Go ahead.
00:16:00.432 --> 00:16:04.283
What are some of your hobbies well, my biggest hobby is my son, right?
00:16:04.283 --> 00:16:06.173
I want to make sure that I'm a really present parent.
00:16:06.643 --> 00:16:07.832
I love rescue dogs.
00:16:07.893 --> 00:16:11.322
I, Laura Trump and I are on the board of a place called Big Dog Ranch Rescue.
00:16:11.322 --> 00:16:12.393
You guys need to come visit.
00:16:12.413 --> 00:16:13.283
It's in Palm Beach.
00:16:13.493 --> 00:16:15.462
It's the largest no kill rescue in the world.
00:16:15.812 --> 00:16:17.972
The dogs, they have everything from big to little.
00:16:18.623 --> 00:16:25.263
All over the country and there's no cages and they also have a veteran training center and a little puppy palace where like the moms Keep their babies.
00:16:25.653 --> 00:16:30.873
So I really like to spend a lot of time at the ranch helping out I like to have dogs.
00:16:31.143 --> 00:16:32.452
My dog is named sandwich.
00:16:32.452 --> 00:16:39.758

00:16:48.508 --> 00:16:50.057
Oh yeah, that's a good hobby.
00:16:50.707 --> 00:16:51.548
I'm too weak for CrossFit.
00:16:51.893 --> 00:16:55.033
Well, it's hard, especially if you do Rx.
00:16:55.342 --> 00:16:57.383
Yeah, I No worries, our mom's the same.
00:16:57.462 --> 00:16:58.552
She doesn't like to do it.
00:16:58.913 --> 00:17:00.482
Well, yeah, it's tough.
00:17:01.133 --> 00:17:01.562
It's tough.
00:17:02.123 --> 00:17:03.702
Okay, rapid fire question.
00:17:03.753 --> 00:17:10.863

If you had a superpower, what would it be?
00:17:47.284 --> 00:17:48.564
To read people's minds.
00:17:49.683 --> 00:17:52.753
If you had one executive order as president, what would it be?
00:17:53.733 --> 00:17:54.233
Ooh.
00:17:54.544 --> 00:17:55.344

No, I got it.
00:17:58.544 --> 00:18:01.564
Have you ever been stuck in a bathroom stall without toilet paper?
00:18:02.003 --> 00:18:02.673
Obviously.
00:18:02.763 --> 00:18:03.084
Yeah.
00:18:03.483 --> 00:18:04.884
Happened to me, like, two times.
00:18:04.884 --> 00:18:06.104
It happens to the best of us.
00:18:07.284 --> 00:18:08.084
Well, gosh.
00:18:08.094 --> 00:18:11.794

That was fun, guys.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.450
Welcome to the Programming Lions podcast.
00:00:02.490 --> 00:00:03.879
Erin Elmore is with us.

She is an attorney and author, a political commentator featured frequently on Fox News, Newsmax, One America News, and other major networks.

com, BizPakReview, and The Conservateur.
00:00:16.429 --> 00:00:18.940
Erin served as a spokesperson for Trump in 2016.
00:00:19.803 --> 00:00:22.862
Was deputy press secretary at the Republican National Convention.
00:00:22.893 --> 00:00:27.092
Aaron originally connected with Trump as a competitor on The Apprentice.
00:00:27.263 --> 00:00:28.213
And we're going to get into it.
00:00:29.115 --> 00:00:29.295
Yeah.
00:00:35.765 --> 00:00:38.795
Erin Elmore, thanks for joining us.
00:00:38.795 --> 00:00:39.831
for having me.
00:00:39.831 --> 00:00:42.655
I know you have decorated background.
00:00:42.676 --> 00:00:46.725
You are an attorney, an author, a Turning Point contributor, and much more.
00:00:46.985 --> 00:00:48.615
Curious to pick your brain about a few things today.
00:00:48.765 --> 00:00:51.625
I can't wait, this is gonna be fun, and I love that we have a family affair going on.
00:00:51.746 --> 00:00:52.875
Alright, perfect.
00:00:53.615 --> 00:00:56.606
How did you get into commentating and politics?
00:00:57.085 --> 00:00:57.975
That's a great question.
00:00:58.006 --> 00:01:03.665
So, I have an undergraduate degree in political science and broadcasting, and I've always wanted to be a journalist.
00:01:04.156 --> 00:01:07.915
However, my dad and mom thought, you like to argue, you should go to law school.
00:01:07.956 --> 00:01:17.230
So, after I went straight to law school, and then about six months later, there was a television show called The Apprentice, and Donald Trump was the host.
00:01:17.561 --> 00:01:18.811
You guys weren't even born yet.
00:01:19.230 --> 00:01:22.960
You were just floating in the sky, but it was the number one show on TV.
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.370
Everybody was obsessed with it.
00:01:24.370 --> 00:01:25.131
It was huge.
00:01:25.460 --> 00:01:26.331
I got on that show.
00:01:26.331 --> 00:01:28.001
I think three million people tried out.
00:01:28.021 --> 00:01:28.771
It was huge.
00:01:28.820 --> 00:01:29.281
Big league.
00:01:29.281 --> 00:01:29.620
Huge.
00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:29.921
Huge.
00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:32.831
And, so, after The Apprentice.
00:01:33.460 --> 00:01:34.760
Donald Trump said, what do you want to do?
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.620
And he helped me get a job in journalism, and I was a journalist for about 10 years.
00:01:39.090 --> 00:01:43.510
And then in 2015, when he came down the golden escalator, I called his assistant, I said, I'm quitting my job.
00:01:43.510 --> 00:01:45.001
I want to come work for you.
00:01:45.471 --> 00:01:47.141
So I left everything I was doing.
00:01:47.490 --> 00:01:49.171
I became a campaign spokesperson.
00:01:49.510 --> 00:01:50.671
I was a campaign spokesperson.
00:01:50.691 --> 00:01:54.581
And then I was the deputy press secretary at the RNC in Cleveland in 2016.
00:01:55.671 --> 00:01:56.861
So I've been a spokesperson.
00:01:57.186 --> 00:02:00.436
for Trump on all three elections, 1620 and 2024.
00:02:00.436 --> 00:02:02.206
I've been on Fox News a lot of times.
00:02:02.885 --> 00:02:05.635
Been on Newsmax, One American News, RAB, all of the things.
00:02:05.646 --> 00:02:07.786
So now you have my whole history and that's how I did it.
00:02:08.105 --> 00:02:08.436
Perfect.
00:02:08.985 --> 00:02:11.056
I, I got a follow up about The Apprentice.
00:02:11.086 --> 00:02:13.605
I don't remember what year it was, but Long time ago.
00:02:13.645 --> 00:02:14.816
Let's not de date myself.
00:02:14.816 --> 00:02:17.156
What, what did you get fired for?
00:02:17.756 --> 00:02:20.395
Well, I was kind of a princess in Home Depot.
00:02:20.705 --> 00:02:21.186
Okay.
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.050
Because I was like, I like crowns, but not crown molding.
00:02:24.061 --> 00:02:24.901
It was kind of funny.
00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:26.350
Someone has to go every week.
00:02:26.350 --> 00:02:31.890
I was on all but like two episodes, and afterwards we maintained relationship for all those years.
00:02:31.890 --> 00:02:53.346
He congratulated me on the birth of my son, and on my wedding, and wrote me letters of recommendation, it's I hear so many stories about Trump like that, like, he's very thoughtful in terms of following up with people that he's connected with, and, so many people trash him and talk about, like, what a horrible person he is, but I hear so many of these stories where he writes, like, handwritten letters, he texts on birthdays, and special events, and funny.
00:02:53.616 --> 00:02:53.806
Yeah.
00:02:54.216 --> 00:02:54.455
Yeah.
00:02:55.286 --> 00:02:56.496
You don't hear those stories, right?
00:02:56.496 --> 00:02:58.096
The mainstream media won't humanize him.
00:02:58.096 --> 00:02:58.175
Yeah.
00:02:58.175 --> 00:02:58.455
Yeah.
00:02:58.841 --> 00:02:59.721
Yeah, it's too bad.
00:02:59.890 --> 00:03:00.790
It is, but you know what?
00:03:00.790 --> 00:03:02.091
It doesn't matter because we won.
00:03:02.281 --> 00:03:02.741
That's right.
00:03:02.811 --> 00:03:03.341
You know what?
00:03:03.341 --> 00:03:17.040
We won across every Demographic essentially and we really made inroads and every demographic essentially and I think now the people have spoken So those who don't want to get in line, they can go be miserable at MSNBC.
00:03:17.121 --> 00:03:17.790
Go pound sand.
00:03:17.931 --> 00:03:24.550
Yeah, so What is really like unique about Trump and what is a Trump?
00:03:25.586 --> 00:03:26.341
Surrogate?
00:03:26.341 --> 00:03:27.096
Surrogate.
00:03:27.096 --> 00:03:28.605
Yeah, surrogate.
00:03:28.605 --> 00:03:31.756
Yeah, so a jump surrogate just simply means a spokesperson.
00:03:32.406 --> 00:03:34.086
So it's just got a fancy political word, right?
00:03:34.406 --> 00:03:43.286
So a surrogate means spokesperson, so that means that you get on calls with the campaign and you read briefings that they send you and you do television news hits.
00:03:43.306 --> 00:03:44.985
Like a hit is just an airing.
00:03:45.366 --> 00:03:53.256
So you do TV hits, you can write articles, you just really gather a lot of information so you're up to date on a day to day basis with everything that the campaign is doing.
00:03:53.651 --> 00:03:54.980
What is unique about Trump?
00:03:55.411 --> 00:03:59.501
I mean, I, well, personally I think he's a once in a lifetime person, right?
00:03:59.501 --> 00:04:02.420
He is lightning in a bottle, as they say.
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.561
You know, people didn't really, people like voted before the Trump phenomenon.
00:04:06.580 --> 00:04:10.311
People, voted and cared about what was going on, but now it's a lifestyle.
00:04:10.570 --> 00:04:10.661
Yeah.
00:04:10.770 --> 00:04:11.121
Right?
00:04:11.401 --> 00:04:14.950
It's hats, it's rallies, it's songs, it's dances.
00:04:15.020 --> 00:04:15.270
Yeah.
00:04:15.290 --> 00:04:16.860
It's Turning Point USA.
00:04:16.860 --> 00:04:22.331
When I voted for Donald Trump for the last time, I cried because I was like, I'm never going to get to vote for him again.
00:04:22.870 --> 00:04:27.141
Because this is such a special part of my life and no one can do it like he does.
00:04:27.151 --> 00:04:30.350
This can't be replicated or duplicated and that's what I think is special about him.
00:04:30.350 --> 00:04:31.360
Short answer, everything.
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:31.870
Yeah.
00:04:32.331 --> 00:04:34.451
Well, you boys have had some strong opinions about merch.
00:04:34.550 --> 00:04:35.011

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:07.480
Mid, right?
00:05:07.490 --> 00:05:08.571
Is that one of the words you guys say?
00:05:08.591 --> 00:05:09.755
Yeah, it's mid.
00:05:09.755 --> 00:05:10.901
It's mid.
00:05:10.901 --> 00:05:11.821
I'm gonna ask them a question.
00:05:12.031 --> 00:05:13.230
Do you guys know what glazing is?
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:13.880
No.
00:05:14.290 --> 00:05:17.031
Oh, that's when you Like, my son will tell me, Stop glazing.
00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:20.581
So that means like, if you're sucking up to someone, like you're being all nice.
00:05:21.141 --> 00:05:22.411
It's like, they're so glazing.
00:05:23.110 --> 00:05:24.180
Yeah, you didn't know that one?
00:05:24.451 --> 00:05:25.271
I never knew that one.
00:05:25.321 --> 00:05:26.411
Alright, you'll learn, yeah.
00:05:26.411 --> 00:05:26.971
Glazing.
00:05:26.971 --> 00:05:28.221
I learned about Riz.
00:05:28.271 --> 00:05:30.096
Riz, Ohio Toilet Skibbity Riz.
00:05:30.545 --> 00:05:31.701
What, what does that see?
00:05:31.701 --> 00:05:32.915
I talk like a 13-year-old boy.
00:05:33.185 --> 00:05:33.815
Oh my goodness.
00:05:33.846 --> 00:05:38.255
Riz means you have like, you've got like a good, like a charisma.
00:05:38.261 --> 00:05:39.216
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:39.216 --> 00:05:39.725
Exactly.
00:05:40.146 --> 00:05:40.206
Yeah.
00:05:40.206 --> 00:05:41.375
It's like from a game.
00:05:41.646 --> 00:05:42.156
Charisma.
00:05:42.966 --> 00:05:43.266
Yeah.
00:05:43.266 --> 00:05:43.896
That's Riz.
00:05:44.615 --> 00:05:44.975
Yeah.
00:05:45.096 --> 00:05:47.295
So I like what's like, Ohio?
00:05:47.295 --> 00:05:48.586
It's sc What's that?
00:05:48.615 --> 00:05:49.216
I don't know.
00:05:49.216 --> 00:05:49.665
It's some, yeah.
00:05:49.995 --> 00:05:52.396
I forget that's, that's, I, we don't know either.
00:05:52.995 --> 00:05:55.697
Yeah, I heard that one's like one that some of the kids were saying for a minute.
00:05:56.446 --> 00:05:56.846
Wow.
00:05:57.045 --> 00:06:01.315
Yeah, well, the boys showed me My class is addicted to brain rot.
00:06:01.815 --> 00:06:02.696
Okay, what's that?
00:06:03.036 --> 00:06:04.065
Like, like, Skibbity Toilet.
00:06:04.065 --> 00:06:07.206
Brain rot is like Skibbity Toilet, Ohio.
00:06:07.206 --> 00:06:08.915
Yeah, that's, that's That, that junk.
00:06:08.956 --> 00:06:09.315
Yeah.
00:06:09.536 --> 00:06:10.886
It's just a bunch of words, right?
00:06:11.346 --> 00:06:13.971
They showed me Skibbity Toilet and I was like, What the heck?
00:06:13.971 --> 00:06:14.737
How is this popular?
00:06:14.737 --> 00:06:16.915
And we don't get why Ohio is a part of it.
00:06:16.995 --> 00:06:17.935
Like, LeBron or something?
00:06:18.625 --> 00:06:22.196
I think it's because there's like a train wreck thing in Ohio.
00:06:22.196 --> 00:06:23.216
Oh yeah, we know about that.
00:06:23.576 --> 00:06:24.036
East Palestine.
00:06:24.615 --> 00:06:29.886
Yeah, and I think it's where they say that everything crazy happens in Ohio.
00:06:30.136 --> 00:06:30.576
Okay.
00:06:30.846 --> 00:06:32.045
Yeah, that sounds about right.
00:06:32.656 --> 00:06:34.795
And there was a crazy toilet in Ohio.
00:06:36.016 --> 00:06:36.295
Yeah.
00:06:36.295 --> 00:06:37.826
With a talking head that comes out.
00:06:37.826 --> 00:06:38.946
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:39.055 --> 00:06:42.120
I've actually never seen the Skippity Toilet video.
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:43.906
Well, maybe today's the day.
00:06:44.045 --> 00:06:45.235
I hope I never do.
00:06:45.586 --> 00:06:46.576
Maybe today's not the day.
00:06:46.641 --> 00:06:49.591
I love this.
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.000
What else are you guys into?
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.040
That's what I want to talk about.
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:52.831
Forget about me.
00:06:53.721 --> 00:06:55.521
Well, we're also here for you, right?
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:56.560
Oh, well, okay.
00:06:56.630 --> 00:06:56.951
Alright.
00:06:56.951 --> 00:07:00.411
Alright, so what's, what's like a burning question then?
00:07:00.440 --> 00:07:01.170
Tell me something.
00:07:01.591 --> 00:07:02.711
You can ask me something silly.
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:04.221
Anything you want.
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.790
Well, were you inspired to go into the apprenticeship?
00:07:09.031 --> 00:07:11.850
Because it was like number one and also Trump was on it.
00:07:11.850 --> 00:07:19.781
Yeah Absolutely, I mean it was the number one show on TV It was a big deal and I knew it would change my life and it has what is the apprentice?
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:37.680
It's a good question So it's a reality TV show Where a bunch of business people are auditioning for a job with Donald Trump So every week you do a different task like you have to You know, we, on our first one, we like worked at a Burger King and see who would generate more money and Yeah.
00:07:37.690 --> 00:07:38.951
So different things like that.
00:07:39.420 --> 00:07:43.571
We had to like paint a mural in Harlem and I forget what, but this is, we're going back a long time now.
00:07:43.850 --> 00:07:48.730
So every week someone gets fired and the last person standing at the end gets a job with Donald Trump.
00:07:48.730 --> 00:07:50.971
That's a good idea.
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:51.810
Sure was.
00:07:51.971 --> 00:07:52.180
Yeah.
00:07:52.211 --> 00:07:53.841
And other people tried to do it and it failed.
00:07:53.841 --> 00:07:55.610
It was, again, the Donald Trump factor.
00:07:56.110 --> 00:07:56.221
Yeah.
00:07:56.370 --> 00:07:57.771
Donald Trump's good with that stuff.
00:07:57.771 --> 00:08:02.235
You should actually watch, like, it, because it's a whole, like it's a, it's a It's not like risque.
00:08:02.235 --> 00:08:03.355
It's a family show.
00:08:03.396 --> 00:08:03.675
Yeah.
00:08:04.026 --> 00:08:05.336
There's the great lessons in it.
00:08:05.526 --> 00:08:05.745
Yeah.
00:08:05.745 --> 00:08:06.675
It's classic Trump.
00:08:07.255 --> 00:08:07.646
It is.
00:08:07.766 --> 00:08:08.045
Yeah.
00:08:09.276 --> 00:08:09.855
Write it down.
00:08:09.966 --> 00:08:10.386
Okay.
00:08:10.435 --> 00:08:11.196
We'll check it out.
00:08:11.196 --> 00:08:11.505
Yeah.
00:08:11.505 --> 00:08:12.555
And you get to see him go.
00:08:12.636 --> 00:08:13.406
You're fired.
00:08:13.636 --> 00:08:13.855
Yeah.
00:08:13.855 --> 00:08:14.865
People say, did you get fired?
00:08:14.865 --> 00:08:16.545
I'm like, I got fired and then I got hired.
00:08:17.755 --> 00:08:22.185
I was maybe a younger like manager or leader in business at that time.
00:08:22.185 --> 00:08:25.725
And I remember watching just the way he dealt with people in terms of giving them critical feedback.
00:08:26.466 --> 00:08:29.855
Like, it wasn't mean, but honest, and sometimes, well, you know, edgy.
00:08:30.875 --> 00:08:32.306
And I guess part of that's for TV ratings.
00:08:32.846 --> 00:08:35.686
But I just remember thinking, wow, you know, that is really powerful.
00:08:35.686 --> 00:08:39.686
You need to give people honest, critical feedback, or they really don't get better.
00:08:40.105 --> 00:08:45.546
And if you lie to people and tell them, like, oh, you're doing great, then you're not doing them any service.
00:08:46.125 --> 00:08:49.046
And so I took that to heart, and I tried to do that.
00:08:49.046 --> 00:08:50.326
It takes practice, you know.
00:08:50.365 --> 00:08:53.875
Obviously, like, Trump had years of practicing giving people feedback.
00:08:54.416 --> 00:08:57.725
I got better at it over my career, and I think that helped people get better.
00:08:57.725 --> 00:08:58.000
Yeah.
00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:58.275
Yeah.
00:08:58.275 --> 00:08:59.926
And have some fun doing it.
00:08:59.926 --> 00:09:00.145
Yeah.
00:09:00.145 --> 00:09:01.066
Honest conversations.
00:09:01.066 --> 00:09:05.676
And we, sometimes we talk with the boys about, sometimes, you know, honesty is, is compassion.
00:09:05.676 --> 00:09:10.265
And, you know, there's uncomfortable things like, hey, how do I look in this outfit?
00:09:11.005 --> 00:09:11.635
Not good, Dad.
00:09:11.686 --> 00:09:12.035
Okay.
00:09:12.245 --> 00:09:15.316
Like, I need that honesty, and then I can, you know, I can change my outfit or whatever.
00:09:15.316 --> 00:09:17.015
And you can say it with kindness, right guys?
00:09:17.405 --> 00:09:20.696
That's what I'm working on with my son is just effective communication.
00:09:20.885 --> 00:09:21.166
Yeah.
00:09:21.166 --> 00:09:22.285
Have you heard of Leonard Sack?
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.831
I heard the name, not super familiar.
00:09:24.831 --> 00:09:25.721
Do yourself a favor.
00:09:25.730 --> 00:09:29.041
Leonard Sachs, he's a MD, PhD, and he's on our side.
00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:29.591
Okay.
00:09:29.650 --> 00:09:30.801
He gives the best parenting advice.
00:09:30.801 --> 00:09:31.921
I've downloaded all his books.
00:09:32.711 --> 00:09:35.610
And it's a great way because we all need to learn how to communicate with each other, right?
00:09:35.910 --> 00:09:36.150
Yeah.
00:09:36.201 --> 00:09:37.181
I'm really working on that.
00:09:37.280 --> 00:09:37.780
Mm hmm.
00:09:38.191 --> 00:09:40.581
Dad, you really need to, What are you trying to tell me?
00:09:41.921 --> 00:09:43.360
You're making me You gotta work out more?
00:09:43.811 --> 00:09:46.301
Oh, you look, you guys are all doing great.
00:09:47.230 --> 00:09:48.301
Ah, he's good.
00:09:48.510 --> 00:09:48.910
Shave?
00:09:49.041 --> 00:09:50.071
Oh, that's the look.
00:09:50.191 --> 00:09:51.240
Babe, that's the look.
00:09:51.250 --> 00:09:51.600
Yeah.
00:09:51.831 --> 00:09:52.571
Yeah, you gotta do it.
00:09:52.591 --> 00:09:53.150
You gotta do it.
00:09:53.431 --> 00:09:54.571
It's the scruff.
00:09:54.571 --> 00:09:55.821
It's the 5 o'clock shadow look.
00:09:55.821 --> 00:09:56.130
That's right.
00:09:56.171 --> 00:09:56.971
Mom loves it.
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:01.360
I used to do the clean shave, but now everybody's kinda Yeah, I kinda I like the beard.
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:01.831
You do?
00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:02.600
I mean, yeah.
00:10:02.701 --> 00:10:03.291
It's not bad.
00:10:03.791 --> 00:10:04.171
Yeah.
00:10:04.171 --> 00:10:04.500
There's a little character.
00:10:04.691 --> 00:10:08.061
I mean, you kinda have to just shave it like once in a while, but otherwise Some zone, yeah.
00:10:08.110 --> 00:10:10.791
Like, you don't wanna look like Gandalf, but otherwise Gandalf.
00:10:10.791 --> 00:10:14.581
I mean, that's like That's like a That's what That's good.
00:10:15.051 --> 00:10:19.020
With my son's father, he made him grow a beard and his hair long, so for like a year.
00:10:19.291 --> 00:10:19.650
Okay.
00:10:19.701 --> 00:10:25.730
And then, all of a sudden, my son, his name is Royce, he woke up one day and said, I'm done with all this, cut your hair and shave your beard.
00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:26.880
And, he did it.
00:10:26.890 --> 00:10:29.000
So, it's like, it's being able to adapt, right?
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.941
We call that pivoting.
00:10:30.051 --> 00:10:30.811
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:31.530 --> 00:10:31.900
Wow.
00:10:32.910 --> 00:10:33.961
Wait, did he look like Gandalf?
00:10:34.130 --> 00:10:36.191
No, he, he, he kept it short.
00:10:36.671 --> 00:10:37.360
But his hair got long.
00:10:38.066 --> 00:10:39.306
Like he could do a little ponytail.
00:10:39.875 --> 00:10:40.096
Whoa.
00:10:40.105 --> 00:10:41.775
Well, Max is getting close.
00:10:41.785 --> 00:10:43.409
He's got a, he's got kind of a mullet thing going.
00:10:43.409 --> 00:10:45.125
You've got a business in the front party in the back.
00:10:45.176 --> 00:10:46.265
Conservative mullet right there.
00:10:46.265 --> 00:10:47.645
Yes, conservative mullet.
00:10:48.115 --> 00:10:48.535
I like it.
00:10:48.535 --> 00:10:49.025
I don't like it.
00:10:49.086 --> 00:10:50.395
Well, you don't have to have it then, right?
00:10:50.405 --> 00:10:51.296
Don't yuck his yum, right?
00:10:51.296 --> 00:10:52.946
And he doesn't.
00:10:52.946 --> 00:10:56.196
In the middle of the night, I really just want to come into his bedroom.
00:10:56.546 --> 00:10:58.706
Well, I'll wake up because my door is so loud.
00:10:58.956 --> 00:11:00.556
Well, here's the thing, right?
00:11:00.586 --> 00:11:08.191
You have what benefits you and makes you happy and that's why You guys are different, and if, you know, he respects you, and you respect him.
00:11:08.441 --> 00:11:09.181
Where do you guys live?
00:11:09.671 --> 00:11:10.020
Here.
00:11:10.471 --> 00:11:11.370
Oh, in Phoenix.
00:11:11.370 --> 00:11:12.671
Alright, well we live in Palm Beach.
00:11:13.331 --> 00:11:17.630
So, luckily where we live, it's like cool to be conservative.
00:11:17.941 --> 00:11:18.321
Okay.
00:11:18.650 --> 00:11:25.120
But, if you find yourself with people that don't share your values, don't stoop down to their level.
00:11:25.410 --> 00:11:29.730
If they lash out and make insults towards you, just say, you know what?
00:11:30.201 --> 00:11:31.250
Let's agree to disagree.
00:11:31.250 --> 00:11:33.431
Because it's not worth it for you to make yourself look bad.
00:11:33.451 --> 00:11:35.811
You always want to be the best version of yourself.
00:11:36.431 --> 00:11:40.150
And being petty and low like that is not the best version of yourself.
00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:42.331
And find more conservative friends.
00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:45.691
You guys have some good friends.
00:11:45.770 --> 00:11:51.311
Yeah, well most of mine, the thing is Two of my friends, their parents wanted Kamala Harris to win the election.
00:11:51.441 --> 00:11:51.500
Okay.
00:11:51.711 --> 00:11:53.581
But, I mean, they're still friends of mine.
00:11:53.630 --> 00:11:53.931
Sure.
00:11:54.041 --> 00:11:58.520
Cause, like, when you're young, they're really not old enough to, like, vote.
00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:01.581
So then you can really be, like, friends with anyone.
00:12:01.581 --> 00:12:04.500
But then once you kind of grow up, you can still kind of have that.
00:12:04.750 --> 00:12:07.431
But normally you want someone that's kind of on your side.
00:12:07.431 --> 00:12:08.520
Yeah, or similar values.
00:12:08.610 --> 00:12:09.890
You know what, that's really astute.
00:12:09.921 --> 00:12:17.130
Because what you're saying is, is you can put aside your differences to still have a really nice friendship based upon what are your similarities.
00:12:17.130 --> 00:12:18.667
Mm hmm.
00:12:18.667 --> 00:12:19.436
Yeah.
00:12:20.086 --> 00:12:20.956
I like that, Max.
00:12:21.235 --> 00:12:22.135
And you've got some buddies.
00:12:22.495 --> 00:12:23.125
Are they a mix?
00:12:23.166 --> 00:12:23.586
What do you think?
00:12:24.056 --> 00:12:28.135
One of them was, but he's starting to transition to more of what I like.
00:12:28.336 --> 00:12:29.355
Transition?
00:12:29.895 --> 00:12:30.206
No.
00:12:30.485 --> 00:12:37.235
Well, the word transition doesn't always mean Yeah, it doesn't always mean just transitioning into a girl or a boy.
00:12:37.235 --> 00:12:38.566
Transition means a change.
00:12:38.566 --> 00:12:38.916
Yeah.
00:12:39.916 --> 00:12:44.765
So he's moving over to your side, to our side, to the right side, to the logical side.
00:12:45.186 --> 00:12:46.505
I have no clue, but I think.
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.870
Yeah, do you think it's because you guys talk about it a bit as friends?
00:12:49.921 --> 00:12:51.520
Oh, yeah, we definitely talk about it.
00:12:51.520 --> 00:12:53.951
It's turned into like a conversation.
00:12:54.091 --> 00:12:55.030
Okay, really?
00:12:55.270 --> 00:12:57.760
I have some very fun friends.
00:12:58.091 --> 00:13:00.030
So you like debate with other kids at school?
00:13:00.280 --> 00:13:01.591
No, not normally.
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:02.240
Oh, I do.
00:13:03.191 --> 00:13:04.942
Just give me one topic.
00:13:04.942 --> 00:13:17.965
Mostly one time, actually, it was like, maybe like five days before the election, it was where My friend wanted Kamala Harris and the next thing you know, he was like, because blah blah blah blah blah blah, and he was like, because Trump's bad.
00:13:18.455 --> 00:13:20.945
And so the next thing you know, then I said, why is he bad?
00:13:21.105 --> 00:13:21.565
Of course.
00:13:21.804 --> 00:13:23.095
And then he was like, because.
00:13:23.254 --> 00:13:23.554
Yeah.
00:13:23.554 --> 00:13:24.705
Because he did wrong things.
00:13:24.705 --> 00:13:25.739
I'm like, what are the wrong things?
00:13:25.739 --> 00:13:26.225
Yeah, name one.
00:13:26.225 --> 00:13:28.475
I just, yeah, I just keep asking why.
00:13:28.764 --> 00:13:31.125
And he, and he was like, never mind, and he just walks away.
00:13:31.184 --> 00:13:32.245
See, you won that argument.
00:13:32.274 --> 00:13:34.105
You should be on the, oh, I just got my son on debate team.
00:13:34.105 --> 00:13:34.789
You guys gotta get on debate team.
00:13:35.909 --> 00:13:36.779
Yeah, we're working on that.
00:13:36.779 --> 00:13:38.870
Well, we, yeah, we work with somebody too.
00:13:38.870 --> 00:13:39.200
Yeah.
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:40.610
Are you homeschooled?
00:13:41.210 --> 00:13:41.809
No.
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:42.409
Charter.
00:13:42.710 --> 00:13:44.159
Charter, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, got it.
00:13:44.669 --> 00:13:44.929
Close enough.
00:13:45.049 --> 00:13:47.649
You know, adults are kind of the same way though, aren't they?
00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:49.759
In terms of, well, why are you voting for Harris?
00:13:49.789 --> 00:13:51.820
Well, because she's not Donald Trump.
00:13:52.139 --> 00:13:53.480
Right, of course she's a black woman.
00:13:53.629 --> 00:13:54.259
Identity politics.
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.179
Yeah, it's pretty It's pretty wild.
00:13:56.179 --> 00:13:57.462
Now, what do you not like about Trump?
00:13:57.462 --> 00:14:01.450
Because, I remember Sometimes people have a hard time Like, they can't Okay, tell me what was racist.
00:14:02.179 --> 00:14:09.470
And also, like, the thing is, some people are like, because she's going to be, like, the first woman president Right! Like, that isn't really a metric of success.
00:14:09.470 --> 00:14:13.990
Yeah, who lives, like, it doesn't really matter about what, like, sex you are, basically.
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:22.580
It just matters about what you, like, what you, like, believe in, what you're gonna do that's gonna help America and all that.
00:14:22.690 --> 00:14:23.110
So, yeah.
00:14:23.419 --> 00:14:28.980
Maybe like, if there was a crazy old man and a very smart woman, I would have voted for a very smart woman.
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:30.769
As long as, well, if she agreed with, yes.
00:14:30.950 --> 00:14:31.190
I'm not sexist.
00:14:31.190 --> 00:14:31.570
No, you're not.
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:33.100
If she agrees with our values.
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.549
Yeah, if she, we don't care if you're a man or a woman, what color you are, it's just about your values and your policies.
00:14:37.549 --> 00:14:38.455
Exactly.
00:14:38.455 --> 00:14:39.360
Yeah.
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:39.440
Exactly.
00:14:39.909 --> 00:14:41.038
Back to Trump maybe.
00:14:41.038 --> 00:14:42.937
So now, he's already working hard.
00:14:42.937 --> 00:14:47.128
He's getting his cabinet, set up and in place and we love a lot of these picks.
00:14:47.138 --> 00:14:48.248
A couple have been controversial.
00:14:48.842 --> 00:14:51.413
Ultimately, we've, we're very optimistic.
00:14:51.712 --> 00:14:54.113
Doge is already, like, getting some traction.
00:14:54.113 --> 00:14:54.822
Yeah, I love it.
00:14:54.832 --> 00:14:58.523
And so, what are you maybe most optimistic about?
00:14:59.332 --> 00:14:59.763
Everything.
00:14:59.913 --> 00:15:02.452
I mean, I, I really think that this is a fresh start for us.
00:15:02.533 --> 00:15:06.442
And I love that, as bad as the last four years were, I think they were necessary.
00:15:06.523 --> 00:15:06.822
Yeah.
00:15:06.932 --> 00:15:10.663
Enough people had to see the open border touch every single solitary state.
00:15:10.673 --> 00:15:12.243
Had to see how expensive groceries were.
00:15:12.263 --> 00:15:13.952
Couldn't put gas in their car.
00:15:14.413 --> 00:15:28.812
The boys and girls sports affecting people's families and communities and daughter's ability to get a scholarship And I think all of these things had to happen for people to wake up and say I'm voting for Trump And now he's like unencumbered right he can go in there.
00:15:29.222 --> 00:15:31.472
He doesn't have to worry about another term, right?
00:15:31.482 --> 00:15:39.182
He's just gonna go in there gangbusters and be like, I don't care I don't think he should ever do another media interview again like why I don't need to yeah Yeah.
00:15:39.182 --> 00:15:40.182
So I'm excited about everything.
00:15:40.243 --> 00:15:41.309
I think that's it.
00:15:41.309 --> 00:15:42.283
That's a really good point.
00:15:42.283 --> 00:15:42.722
Four years.
00:15:42.923 --> 00:15:44.613
We got four years to get a lot of work done.
00:15:44.613 --> 00:15:45.633
We cannot rest.
00:15:45.743 --> 00:15:47.842
And we gotta set ourself up for the future.
00:15:47.883 --> 00:15:48.253
Yes.
00:15:48.533 --> 00:15:49.663
And we have a good bench.
00:15:49.753 --> 00:15:51.393
I think there's a lot of potential.
00:15:51.393 --> 00:15:53.393
I also like the fact that he doesn't have another term.
00:15:53.393 --> 00:15:54.393
A lot of presidents will come in.
00:15:54.393 --> 00:15:54.712
I love it.
00:15:54.812 --> 00:15:57.663
And then they have to immediately start campaigning for their next term.
00:15:57.842 --> 00:15:59.607
I have one more funny question to ask you.
00:15:59.607 --> 00:15:59.927
Go ahead.
00:16:00.432 --> 00:16:04.283
What are some of your hobbies well, my biggest hobby is my son, right?
00:16:04.283 --> 00:16:06.173
I want to make sure that I'm a really present parent.
00:16:06.643 --> 00:16:07.832
I love rescue dogs.
00:16:07.893 --> 00:16:11.322
I, Laura Trump and I are on the board of a place called Big Dog Ranch Rescue.
00:16:11.322 --> 00:16:12.393
You guys need to come visit.
00:16:12.413 --> 00:16:13.283
It's in Palm Beach.
00:16:13.493 --> 00:16:15.462
It's the largest no kill rescue in the world.
00:16:15.812 --> 00:16:17.972
The dogs, they have everything from big to little.
00:16:18.623 --> 00:16:25.263
All over the country and there's no cages and they also have a veteran training center and a little puppy palace where like the moms Keep their babies.
00:16:25.653 --> 00:16:30.873
So I really like to spend a lot of time at the ranch helping out I like to have dogs.

Oh yeah, that's a good hobby.
00:16:50.707 --> 00:16:51.548
I'm too weak for CrossFit.
00:16:51.893 --> 00:16:55.033
Well, it's hard, especially if you do Rx.
00:16:55.342 --> 00:16:57.383
Yeah, I No worries, our mom's the same.
00:16:57.462 --> 00:16:58.552
She doesn't like to do it.
00:16:58.913 --> 00:17:00.482
Well, yeah, it's tough.
00:17:01.133 --> 00:17:01.562
It's tough.
00:17:02.123 --> 00:17:03.702
Okay, rapid fire question.
00:17:03.753 --> 00:17:10.863
So, the rules are that you have to answer the question as quick as possible and without any explanation.
00:17:11.173 --> 00:17:12.413

Lots of little ducks.
00:17:44.678 --> 00:17:45.048
Okay.
00:17:45.157 --> 00:17:47.233
If you had a superpower, what would it be?
00:17:47.284 --> 00:17:48.564
To read people's minds.
00:17:49.683 --> 00:17:52.753
If you had one executive order as president, what would it be?
00:17:53.733 --> 00:17:54.233
Ooh.
00:17:54.544 --> 00:17:55.344
Something with dogs.

No, I got it.
00:17:58.544 --> 00:18:01.564
Have you ever been stuck in a bathroom stall without toilet paper?
00:18:02.003 --> 00:18:02.673
Obviously.
00:18:02.763 --> 00:18:03.084
Yeah.
00:18:03.483 --> 00:18:04.884
Happened to me, like, two times.
00:18:04.884 --> 00:18:06.104
It happens to the best of us.
00:18:07.284 --> 00:18:08.084
Well, gosh.
00:18:08.094 --> 00:18:11.794
Okay, we've covered a big spectrum of topics today.
00:18:12.183 --> 00:18:27.314
But Erin, we really appreciate what you do, advocating for conservative values, being such a solid Trump supporter, and we're looking forward to all the work you're going to continue to do with his administration, and so we're we're eager and optimistic for all the success, but thanks so much for coming on and sharing your thoughts with us.
00:18:27.314 --> 00:18:27.933
Appreciate you guys.
00:18:28.334 --> 00:18:28.673
