C (3:55)

Doing great. Thanks for having me.

A (3:58)

It's great to have you on. So can you just please explain, are we just seeing these things more than we ever have because we have the eyes now in space to see this?

C (4:10)

Yeah. Over the past decade, the astronomers constructed the new survey telescopes of the sky. Also, we have much better computers that allow us to digest large data sets. But the motivation for building those survey telescopes is a task that the Congress gave to NASA and the National Science foundation, nsf, to survey the sky for any objects that are near Earth that could collide with Earth, because that poses a risk. And they pose it as the challenge of finding all objects bigger than a football field that may collide with Earth. Near Earth objects. And there were two major observatories constructed back a decade ago. There was pan stars in Hawaii. And recently, in June 2020, a new observatory in Chile was inaugurated, called the Rubin Observatory, funded by the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. And those allow us to see objects that are the size of a football field and have a complete survey. And amazingly, in 2017, an object like that was flagged. And then the astronomers realized it's actually moving too fast to be bound by gravity to the sun. So it came from outside the solar system. It couldn't have been around. So that was the first. It was given the name Omua Mua, which means scout in the Hawaiian language. And then.

A (5:42)

Just a second, because I remember this and I think I talked to you around this time. Explain what you meant. It Was moving too fast.

C (5:50)

Oh well, you know, the planets orbit the sun, for example, the Earth moves around the sun at the speed of about 30 kilometers per second. You know, which is faster. It's 300 times faster than the fastest race car we have. I'm talking about 30 kilometers in one second. That's about 20 miles in one second. That's the speed by which the Earth orbits the sun. But imagine boosting the Earth, just giving it, attaching a rocket to it. Once it would reach a speed of about 42 kilometers per second, just bigger by the square root of 2, 1.4 times the current speed that is moving, it will be able to escape the solar system. So it just needs a high enough speed to escape from the gravitational potential, well, of the sun. And we know what the speed is. And so if we see objects moving near the Earth at more than 42 kilometers per second, we know that they cannot be bound by gravity to the sun. They must have originated somewhere else. And so Oumuamua was one of those. And since then we found two more with telescopes. I actually identified with my student a fourth one which was found by the US government satellites that are monitoring the Earth. That was a meteor that came from interstellar space. But at any event, the most recent one was found by a small telescope in Chile called the atlas again to identify risk for Earth. And that one given the name 3i Atlas.

A (7:35)

So, so, so help me out on this because I mean, we didn't have these telescopes. This is obviously a relatively new thing that we're doing. How much damage does a football field size comet or space debris, what would that do? What was the size of whatever killed the dinosaurs? If that indeed was what happened? What is an Earth killer size?

C (7:58)

Yeah, well, the size of a football field. Can an object like that, if it collides with ear, cause regional damage much more, you know, like of order a thousand times the Hiroshima atomic bomb energy output.

A (8:13)

So kind of like what happened in Russia back in the turn of the last century.

C (8:18)

Yeah, something. No, that, that one was actually much smaller than that was a thousand times less massive. So you know, these, these big ones are really rare. And that's why I will say as we continue the discussion, I will mention this new one, it's estimated to be, you know, of order the one that killed the dinosaurs. And these are extremely rare. And so the question is, why are we seeing an interstellar object that big, you know, just within the last decade. But coming back to your question, the size of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was roughly Manhattan Island. Okay, so compare the size of a football field to Manhattan Island. It's a very different scale. And so what the Congress wanted NASA to do is identify those that will cause just the regional damage, not a catastrophe like happened with the dinosaurs where there was a nuclear winter. You know, the Earth was covered with dust and. Yeah, so. And you know, 75% of all species died. That and we owe our existence because after the dinosaurs died, you know, the more complex animals came along and we are one of those species.

A (9:35)

So you say they're only looking for the small ones, but I'm sure if the big one shows up, you'll ring the bell.

C (9:43)

It's much easier to see the big ones.

A (9:45)

Right. And do we have any technology that can move these things out or is this just something that we're not. No, just another thing on the plate. Oh, by the way, this could happen and it's coming our way and there's really nothing we could do. Is this just a big worry or is there things that we can actually do?

C (10:01)

Yes, we can. Because if you catch it early enough before it comes close to Earth, you just need to nudge it a little bit to the side and then it will miss the Earth. And there are all kinds of proposals for how to do that. You can, you know, the most aggressive one is to explode the nuclear weapon on it.

A (10:21)

Wouldn't that break it up and then we'd have all kinds of little meteors coming our way.

C (10:25)

Yeah, exactly. That's. That's why it's not a good idea. You know, the old Patriot missiles were doing just that. And they created that when they were operated back a decade ago, you know, they created much more damage than help, actually. But you can do it in a more intelligent way. Maybe explode the weapon close to the object so that it doesn't disintegrate, it just ablates part of it. And then you get the rocket effect from, from the ablation pushing it. But there are other ways. Some people suggested painting it on one side so that, you know, it reflects more sunlight on one side and then it's getting nudged a little bit. You can imagine shepherding it with. By gravity. You know, the spacecraft is massive enough and it shepherds it, it attracts it, basically gives it a gravitational nudge. There are all kinds of methods that were produced, proposed. And by the way, NASA, just a year ago, they tried one of these methods with a mission called Dart where they collided with an asteroid just to see how much it gets kicked as a result and what happens to it and, and it was quite surprising because, you know, some of these asteroids are not very rigid. They are porous and, and you get all kind dust thrown out of them in ways that they were not anticipated. So at any event, the people are thinking about, you know, rocks. Rocks are easy to deal with because in principle you can tell what their path would be. However, one thing that was never discussed is the kind of thing I'm trying to advocate we do is what if there is some alien technology out there? Then, you know, if it has, if it was designed by intelligence, you wouldn't be able to forecast exactly what it would do. It's just like finding a visitor to your backyard. The visitor may enter through your front door. You have to act immediately and you need to engage with it in ways that are much more complicated than dealing with a rock.

It's relieffactor.com now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program and we really want to thank you for listening. I am sitting in a brand new studio, state of the art at WO WO in Fort Wayne, Indiana. WO WO is this amazing radio station and I am here to celebrate their 100th anniversary as they are launching into their second century of broadcast and grabbing on to the future. I'm here because when we launched, Woah Woe I think was one of the first five stations. I know we launched with 20 stations and I think they were like number four, number five that signed on. They were with us on the very first day that we launched the Glenn Beck program. But beyond that, wow. In Fort Wayne, Indiana was one of the very first stations in America, in the world. And what it has meant, what it has done and what it's about to do is remarkable. Back in 1925, there was no such thing as a network. CBS had not even started to put together a network. The Columbia Broadcasting System. Radio was brand new. The air was silent and WO WO launched. And when that voice spoke, people listened to because they knew it was speaking to them. Woah Woah was never a spot on the dial. Our local radio stations are. I don't know if we really appreciate our local radio stations. Everything has changed and yet something still remains true. And it's that truth that finds its way through the static on the air. It's that truth of a friend in the dark hours of a war or the comfort during a storm when everything else is down. A laugh on a long morning commute in Fort Wayne, Indiana. For 100 years now, when blizzards shut down the roads, when the headlines scarred us, or when hope felt small, there was always that voice humming through the night, a reminder that we're not alone. And it's local radio. This is a station that helped put Fort Wayne on the map. It was its first broadcast carried not music and news. Its first broadcast carried with it identity. And this is so critical. Everything is being flattened out now. Everything. You go to one town after another and they're all the same. They have the Ann Taylor and the Gap and everything else. And it's exactly the same. The first broadcast carried and the broadcasts that are still carried on your local station. Woe Woe told the nation that Indiana had something to say and that people could be both humble and mighty. It gave a voice to the farmers and the shopkeepers and the school teachers and the kids with dreams bigger than their town's borders. It carried their music, their songs. Wo Woe was the first radio station in the country to carry a basketball game. It carried their prayers. When they first launched in the 1920s, they had a huge pipe organ. And every Sunday they would have. They would have services on the air. But what made these few stations so unique when CBS Two years after Woah WOE went on the air, maybe four years after they went on the air, they decided, the Columbia Broadcasting System decided that they were going to make a network. But how do you make a network? Wo Wo was one of the first 16 stations to say we'll share the burden. We will go to the Bell System now @&t, and we will buy the phone lines from New York and we'll string them all the way to Fort Wayne. And that way we'll be able to carry a network show on a phone line. And at night, when its Clear channel signal stretched across the map from the Carolinas to New England, travelers and truckers that were far from home could turn on the dial and hear the warmth of the Midwest. I used to listen to KFI early in the morning up in the Pacific Northwest, and I could hear the sound of Los Angeles. Here amongst the busy streets along the coastline of the Atlantic, people would be able to hear home. Whoa, whoa. Was the sound of home that was carried on the wind. Today we're kind of lost today. We don't really know who we are. It's a world overflowing with noise. And yet there are those local stations. And I see them in town after town. When we go to serve after a hurricane, it's the local station. It is the WO woe of the market that is still doing what it always has. Listening, serving and reminding who we really are. For a hundred years, this radio station has proven that community isn't something that we click on. Community is something that we build. And when you, when you build it together and the static fades, something remarkable happens. We begin to hear each other again. Do you remember what it was like if you're at my age, or maybe even a little younger, listening to the ball game under the blankets, you'd go into your bed and you turn on your radio, your transistor radio, and you could listen in the middle of the night and you would listen to voices far away. Today you're doing that. You're listening to voices all around the world. You're seeing images in your hand instantly. Live information is infinite. The problem is trust is scarce. And that's why WO WO and stations like it endure. And they endure perhaps more urgently than ever before, because they stand as proof that localism, the small town, the shops, the neighbors, the farms, they matter. When you watch national news, when you're seeing things on Facebook, everything is flattened, the perspective is just flat and the algorithms tailor the outrage for you. And, and then there's the local station. That says, no, no, no. Remember, here's who we are. Here's where we live, here's what we love. I've developed a new slogan internally for my own company and think small. Dream big. Everybody's thinking too big. Think small. Connect with neighbors. Support your small business. Give people that are next to you a platform. Because when you get to this level, when you get to the small local hometown and yet one of the first network stations, when you get to a place like WO woe, it's one of the last institutions where people from opposite ends of the political spectrum might still hear the same words at the same time. In a divided America that is rare and that is sacred. I travel the country. I've been in radio. Now in 2027, it will be my 50th year in broadcast. I have been broadcasting half the time that WO WO has been in business, and it was one of the first stations in America. And I travel the country and.

A (23:00)

Towns are the owners that don't appreciate or don't understand the power of local radio. They have lost something irreplaceable. Not sound. We have plenty of sound. We've lost our story. We've lost the voice that says, good morning, Fort Wayne, and actually means it. Such an honor to be here today, really, it really is. And I know if you're listening someplace, especially in a big city, this maybe doesn't mean anything to you, but it should. Because in the end, it's not going to be a national voice that saves. It's not going to be the federal government. It's going to be all of us in our little towns all over America that saves things. And it's stations like WO WO that remind us the value is not in watts or ratings, but in its quiet reminder that community is more than people sharing space. It's people sharing sound and memory and truth. It was and remains the heartbeat in the static. Happy 100th anniversary WO WO Radio. Thank you for being an original sponsor, an original affiliate of the Glenn Beck program. I remember the first time I was here. I had just written my first book. It was called the Real America. About four people read it. I showed up at a bookstore here in Fort Wayne, and I had to stay there for, I think, an hour. I was contractually, I had to stay there for an hour, and nobody was there. I mean, after like, 15 minutes, the whole place was empty. And I'm like, this is so awkward. I'm standing around in this bookstore and nobody is here. And these little old ladies came up and they were local. And this one lady was introducing me to her other friends who hadn't listened to me yet. And at one point, she brought me a pie. Another lady, I think, brought me a loaf of bread. And these were in the days when a listener could bring me something and I could actually eat it. And this lady said to me, we were sitting there talking, and she reminded me of my grandmother. I could see her quilting her. My grandmother used to say her lap robe. My grandmother would quilt these blankets. We didn't know until after she died she would quilt these blankets all winter long. We'd see her, but we didn't know what she was doing with them. And she was giving them to the homeless. And I could see this woman, just like my grandmother, just quietly quilting. And she looked at her friends and she said, you need to listen to this young man. She said, he's a really good boy. And then she grabbed my cheek and she shook my cheek, and she said, just sometimes he gets a little out of control, but he's a good boy. I was driving this morning early in Fort Wayne. It's still a town with a heartbeat. They've redone the downtown. It's beautiful. I should probably tell you it's not, because I don't think everybody wants people to go, oh, I want to live in Fort Wayne. I think they would like to keep it like this. But the neighborhoods are still neighborhoods. The big old houses aren't all run down in some ghetto. It's beautiful, and the trees are starting to turn colors. And some of the factories are even being used again. I was just at Burna, one of our sponsors, there, here in Fort Wayne, and they've been building here and building factories. As America gets back to work.

B (27:32)

I.

A (27:32)

Thought I could live here in a heartbeat. But time goes on and so does the news, and things get busier and busier and busier. And I got here yesterday, and I was worn out because I had spent a few hours with the president this week. The guy who had flown on Sunday left in the afternoon on Sunday, went, flew across the ocean, went to Israel, greeted the hostages as they were being released, celebrated, then went and spoke at the Knesset for two hours, then got on another plane, went to Egypt, negotiated a peace deal, did all kinds of talking and picture taking and shaking of hands and everything else, got back onto a plane, arrived, met with the president of Argentina, Malay, and then walked out into the Rose Garden and did a tribute to Charlie Kirk. And then after that, he walked back into the Oval Office. And I was standing outside of the Oval Office at one point, and it was lined with people waiting to go in and see him. And it was the Vice President and the Secretary of State. The guy moving so rapidly, and I was tired. This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome back to the Glenn Beck program. I'm in Fort Wayne, Indiana today celebrating Wo Woe's 100th anniversary. I'm back tonight for the fundraiser for the Mercury One Gala tomorrow. I have to tell you, I travel quite a bit and, you know, I get usual worn out like everybody else does. And then I go to the White House and I see this president who is, I don't know, 15 years older than me. And the guy is powering through. I mean, he had 36 hours without sleep, flying across the world, doing all kinds of stuff, meeting with everybody, holding press conferences. He comes back, he holds a press conference, meets with Javier Milei, then does the Charlie Kirk thing. Then I'm standing in the hallway of the White House and I'm seeing all these people. The Vice President going in for a meeting, and then Secretary Rubio's going in for a meeting. Meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting. Then he has a two hour phone call with Putin. I mean, when does this guy sleep? How does he do it? And that's a sincere question. Eric Trump is with us now. He's the author of a new book called Under Siege. This is a compelling book. Everyone should have this. Anyone who says, oh, you know, look what they're doing. I want you to read Under Siege. I want you to see what the left did to the Trump Organization and the Trump family. Eric, welcome to the program. How does your dad do this?

B (30:29)

Listen, the guy's incredible, right? I think I've told you this before, but I mean, he's the Energizer buddy in a suit, wearing a red tie on steroids. The guy is remarkable. My entire life I've seen this. What's amazing is so many of these kind of fake news journalists that you see that are on these kind of foreign trips with him. They were the ones 10 years ago. Glenn, you know this better than anybody. I think you reported on it better than anybody. But will Donald Trump have the stamina to be president? Right? And literally they're falling off of Air Force One now. They slept the entire time on the way over there and on the way back. My father didn't sleep at all. He goes over there, he's in two stops in Israel. Then he meets every world leader in Egypt. He does private meetings, he does two Press conferences. He flies back to Andrews Air Force Base, comes off, as you said, you know, meets with the whole Argentinian delegation, does Charlie Kirk. You know, I heard from him at 11:30 that night. I mean, no, the guy is absolutely remarkable. I mean, sleep isn't one of these things that we've ever had in our gene, but the guy is beyond remarkable. He does not stop, he does not quit, he does not cower. He's a worker. And that's, that's exactly what this country needs.

A (31:27)

Has he always been, what is he, three hours, two hours of sleep a night? What does he get?

B (31:33)

Yeah, probably three hours. I mean.

C (31:35)

Yeah.

A (31:37)

Do the rest of you guys have this in your genes?

B (31:40)

Yeah. Well, I did a podcast live from Israel last night at 2:00am and I was at it again this morning at 6:30. So, yeah, we've never been good sleepers in our family. And not that we're not good sleepers, we just don't sleep much. And, you know, he's one of these guys who's always been myopically focused on whatever he wanted to do at the time, right? If it was real estate, he's myopically focused on a building, if it was building a golf course, if it was the Apprentice, he was myopically focused on every aspect of the show, of ratings, of PR for that show. And certainly when he went to politics, it was the same thing, right? Nothing else mattered. He just, he's laser focused on whatever he wants to achieve. And the guy's remarkable and right now he is laser focused on the success of this country. I've. I've never seen somebody just effectively X out the distractions as well as him, you know, the temptations, the other things, and just focus solely on one mission and put every ounce of their energy and heart and soul into achieving it. He's a remarkable guy and he's my best friend in the world. And you know, I feel that I kind of take on that same trait.

A (32:41)

What a cool thing to say about your father, that he's your best friend. Before we talk quickly about the book, the mom Donnie thing. What the hell is wrong with New Yorkers? What, I mean, what is going to happen to New York if that guy wins?

B (32:55)

Well, he's going to. I mean, I hate to say this, right? I'm gonna get criticized for saying that, but he's gonna win. He's promising free everything to everyone. It's insane. I mean, listen to the economy to.

A (33:05)

The rest of the United States.

B (33:07)

Yeah, of course.

C (33:08)

Well, that's what he's doing.

B (33:09)

Listen, he's talking about how he's gonna raise taxes in New York. And DeSantis in Florida, where I live, is talking about how he's going to get rid of all property taxes. Money has flowed into the state of Florida from New York. I mean, I think about the great irony. Irony there. I mean, you know, they said the top 18,500 taxpayers in New York City paid 85% of the taxes in New York City. And guess what? They're all gone. I mean, they left. And it breaks my heart because I'm a guy that loves. I love New York, but they've destroyed it. I don't know why everything needs to be a social experiment. I mean, and I understand political bravado. You probably understand political bravado better than any human being in the world. The difference is he's on Martha McCallan yesterday on Fox News, and he literally says, if Benjamin Netanyahu comes to New York, he's going to arrest him. I mean, this is a major world leader now. World leaders aren't going to want to come into New York City to the UN because out of fear of getting thrown in jail. What is this human being doing? He hates the nypd. He wants to defund them. He hates the Indian population. He says that Modi is a war criminal. You know, he obviously hates the Jews based on the fact that he wants to arrest, you know, Netanyahu. He wants to nationalize grocery stores. I mean, how about, like, safe streets, clean streets, and just, you know, low taxes and let capitalism work, and New York will be the greatest city in the world. It's not a hard recipe.

A (34:21)

We are a nation that is so divided, going in two different directions. And, I mean, we're seeing it. And when. If he gets in, and I think you're right, he's going to get in. It's going to be stark. What's going to happen to New York is going to be stark. And the same thing with Jay Jones. This, you know, you guys know it. You guys have been under attack, and they've been calling your father a fascist and everything else, and then they try to kill him twice. And, you know, you have Jay Jones who's just. That was heartfelt. That wasn't a slip of the tongue. That wasn't a joke. That was heartfelt. The people he was talking to tried to stop him from saying it, saying, don't say these things. This is horrible. Well, you got to do that. The only way to make people change their political viewpoint is to cause them pain in Their life. You're talking about killing his children.

B (35:11)

But that's what they did. Under siege. They wanted me gone. They wanted me killed in every way, shape or form, both physically and otherwise. I became the most appenant person in American history for doing absolutely nothing wrong. I've never gotten a speeding ticket, Glenn. And they wanted me gone. They wanted me off that stage. They wanted to divide our family. That's why they made up the dirty dossiers. That's why they made up the stories about Golden. You know, what's. The prostitutes, which are paid for by Hillary Clinton. That's why they made up the fact that we had secret servers in the basement of Trump Tower communicating with the Kremlin. That's why they threw us off of Twitter and YouTube and Instagram and Facebook. That's why they put the gag orders on our family. That's why they brought us into court every single day. 91 indictments. We spent $400 million defending ourselves based on BS. That's why they threw my father off at Dallas, in Maine and Colorado. That's why they leaked our tax returns. Mine, my father, everybody in our family, Everybody. All the executives, our company, they leaked all our tax returns to the New York Times, the irs, they raided our home. They raided Mar? A Lago. I mean, where do you want me to stop? They were planting classified folders on the floor of my father's office, taking photo shoots of them and sending them to the New York Times. You had Comey leaking to the New York Times as FBI Director every day in an effort to undermine my father. They were spying on our campaign. I could go on for another two hours. I mean, those are just a couple of the obvious ones. They put us under siege. They wanted to inflict harm, they wanted to inflict pain. They wanted to see us in a jail cell. They wanted to see us bankrupt. They wanted to see us voiceless. And when I say us, it's not just the Trump family.

C (36:52)

It's you.

B (36:53)

It's all of your listeners. They were weaponizing the IRS against conservative organizations, against churches, against pastors. Right? I mean, they were. They implemented dei. So so many great people missed promotions in their workplace to somebody who was far less qualified, all based on some fictitious standard. Glenn, they were coming after all of us. And. And that's the story of the siege. The siege just wasn't against our family. It was against the entire conservative movement and everybody who loved God and the Constitution and the American flag and just wanted to make America great again. And that's the story of Under Siege.

A (37:27)

I have to tell you, I think this book is so important historically and for anybody who has anyone in their family who is saying the things. CNN had a chyron on the bottom of the screen, the banner on the bottom of the screen, and it said, third Trump enemy to be indicted in 21 days. And they were making the case that Comey, James and Bolton are all being indicted because your dad has a thing against him and just wants to, you know, politically go after his enemies. And I saw that and I thought, who are you people that you, you actually believe that, that if, if Donald Trump wanted to respond in kind, it wouldn't be with three people. I mean, this is such a small response. If it was a response. And it's all being done by the book. And they will never admit what they did to your family. That's why I think the book is under siege. Get it? That's why it's important. But anyway, go ahead.

B (38:24)

It was all coordinated. I mean, there, you know, Letitia James was going to the White House and Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade were going to the White House, and, you know, the vice President's house, they were all going to the White House is all being coordinated. You know, remember when they raided Mar A Lago, they said the raid was on behalf of nara, the National Archives, which is effectively a public Library in Washington, D.C. you think of public library, library raids, Mar A Lago, the former president's house, probably most famous house on earth. Give me a, give me a break, right? And honestly, what I would say is if you have that liberal sister, a liberal brother or liberal family member, I hope you could give them this book and just allow them to read the first three chapters. And I think they'll say, wow, you know, regardless of where you stand on certain political issues, they will, their floor, their jaw will hit the floor because.

A (39:07)

I have no idea.

B (39:07)

It was so fundamentally un American. It was, it was so wrong on every front. And I want people, and I don't want revisionist history be able to change the narrative because, you know, that's exactly what they're. They do. They're better at revisionist history than anybody in the history of the world. Look, look at Wikipedia and look at the facts. They, you know, you know, they, they can't change the narrative. And it had to be documented for all, all time. And I think that's why this book's gone parabolic. I mean, it's number one on Amazon. It has been for the last week. It, it has gone after absolutely viral it is selling off the charts. And it's. People are upset. I mean, Glenn, people are really upset. And it's mainly your audience and the people who love this nation, love our flag, and love God, and they're pissed off. They're really pissed off.

A (39:52)

In the book, you warn about the threats to liberty. And I have to tell you, if JD Vance or whoever doesn't win in 28 and we lose control of Congress, I think the vengeance that is coming. I mean, these are vengeful people. What should individuals do? What are you guys doing to avoid the next onslaught, should that happen?

B (40:19)

You know, it's funny. It's their only playbook. Their old playbook used to be identity politics, and that was the only playbook that they were good at. Their policy sucked, but they played identity politics. You're racist, right? And, you know, yes, we picked up more African American vote than any conservatives ever. You're anti Semitic, which is kind of funny considering my sister's Jewish and my father's been the greatest thing for. For. For Israel ever. You know, you're sexist, right? We heard that for years. It's kind of funny. My father's the only person who's ever had a female campaign manager, and he did it twice, both in Kellyanne Conway, who won in 2016, and obviously Susie Wiles, who won in 2024. You know, I mean, you go down the list, you're fascist. Yet they're shooting one of my close friends in the neck, you know, dressed in black, from a rooftop across the heads of college kids as they exercise free speech. Right? I mean, they used to be good at identity politics. Now that's all falling apart. You know, they. And so now what they do is because they've lost the narrative, they turn to violence. And that's why we see, you know, friends of ours getting shot in the neck. That's why they tried to kill my father. You know, when. When. When dialogue breaks down, they just turn violent. And that's why you see those text messages you saw from, you know, the AG candidate in Virginia. They know no other game other than weaponize and rig a system. We saw them rig a system in 2020. There's not a single person in this country, including Barack Obama, who thinks that Joe Biden got 16 million more votes than Barack Obama. And I'm shocked that no one's ever asked Barack Obama, do you really believe that Joe Biden has 15 million more votes than you did in 2012? I'd love to see the reaction on his face. And I'd love to see him try and answer that. Because everybody knows all the Democrats are good at are rigging a system. And so do I have any doubt that they're going to play their games again? Yeah, it's like how these people are bred. It's like it's all they know in their genetic code.

A (42:00)

I only have about 40 seconds here for you to answer and answer if you, if you want. If Mamdani wins, when Mamdani wins, will the Trump organization stay in New York?

B (42:09)

I mean, we've already moved to Florida. You know, we still have offices in New York and we have a lot of assets in New York. But I love that city. I love that state. New York is untouchable. If you just had confidence. If I ran New York, safe streets, clean streets, low taxes, and let capitalism do what it does best. And nothing could beat New York. No state could beat New York. Nothing and no city in the world to beat New York. But they're incapable of doing that. Everything has to be a social experiment. Everything has to be this kind of, you know, experimental petri dish. It's such a shame. And it's not going to be good for the state.

A (42:40)

Are we hearing a future headline? Eric Trump running for mayor of New York at some point.

B (42:46)

Oh, definitely not Mayor of New York. Now, please don't give me nightmares, please. I love the Sunshine State. I'm Floridian. True and true.

A (42:57)

Yeah. Eric, thank you so much. Good to talk to you again. The name of the book is Under Siege. I can't recommend it highly enough. This is what everybody is arguing that Donald Trump is doing all these fascist things. You want to know what Under Siege actually is? Read Under Siege, available wherever books are sold. Eric, thank you so much. We'll talk again.
