Speaker 1: Two Shawn Manity Show eight hundred and ninety four one
Speaker 1: Shawn our number. If you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program, we have for the full hour, and
Speaker 1: I promise you're going to find it fascinating. Eric Trump
Speaker 1: is going to join us in a minute. He wrote
Speaker 1: a new book, Under Siege, My Family's Fight to Save
Speaker 1: Our Nation. And when I started reading this book in
Speaker 1: my own way, I felt like I had lived a
Speaker 1: parallel life with Eric in the sense that I was
Speaker 1: an early supporter of President Trump, and I got abused
Speaker 1: by a lot of prominent conservatives. I think, well, how
Speaker 1: many years did Glenn Beck and I don't know who
Speaker 1: else was out there pounding Ben Shapiro, you know, pounding
Speaker 1: me every day that I'm not a real conservative, et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. And meanwhile, we have the most transformational and
Speaker 1: consequential president in our lifetime. And it didn't never bothered
Speaker 1: me because I knew in my heart I was right.
Speaker 1: I had known Donald Trump for decades of my life
Speaker 1: and we had many conversation before he ever decided to run. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it's an honor to have back to on the program,
Speaker 1: Eric Trump. This book is phenomenal. I felt like I was.
Speaker 1: It was like I was reading I was living a
Speaker 1: parallel life with you in a lot of ways because
Speaker 1: I covered all this like on Rush the Russia hoax.
Speaker 1: I think I spent four straight years on radio and
Speaker 1: TV with an ensemble cast. We got every aspect of
Speaker 1: that right. The rest of the media got it wrong
Speaker 1: and they got pulled.
Speaker 2: Surprises, Sean, There's no question you did.
Speaker 3: And listen, I have to give you credit. I'm not
Speaker 3: sure if I've ever told this story either to you,
Speaker 3: and you'll be the only person who actually remembers this,
Speaker 3: but I heard this from two people back in the day.
Speaker 3: I heard it from my father, who you know, when
Speaker 3: he told us he was running for president. He goes,
Speaker 3: they're going to come after us in ways that you
Speaker 3: can't even imagine. And you and I have been friends
Speaker 3: for a very long time, and I remember you pulling
Speaker 3: me aside, and you go, Eric, you watch what they
Speaker 3: try and do to your family. You know, I would
Speaker 3: get a lawyer involved in everything in your life. I
Speaker 3: wouldn't you know. I would just scrub every aspect of
Speaker 3: your life. Not that we had to, because we were
Speaker 3: always good kids, but they are going to come after you.
Speaker 3: In ways that you couldn't even possibly anticipate. And Shawan,
Speaker 3: you warned me of this. I'm not I ever sure
Speaker 3: if you remember this conversation, but a decade ago you
Speaker 3: warned me of what the Deep Day was going to
Speaker 3: do to us. And they did exactly everything that you
Speaker 3: had predicted and everything that that my father predicted at
Speaker 3: the time. I mean, they wanted to see us destroyed.
Speaker 3: They wanted to see us gone. And you know, the
Speaker 3: irony is it didn't really start, you know, in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: I mean, you had you had a nasty media at
Speaker 3: that point, but you know, they were so pompous and
Speaker 3: so arrogant. They didn't think that this kind of ragtag
Speaker 3: group of people could beat Hillary Clinton, you know. I
Speaker 3: mean you remember New York Times the morning of the
Speaker 3: election had us they gave us a two point one
Speaker 3: percent chance of beating Hillary Clinton that morning, and yet
Speaker 3: we steamrolled her like it wasn't even it wasn't even
Speaker 3: close in terms of you know, the you know, the
Speaker 3: overall you know electoral college and they count, you know,
Speaker 3: at the end of the night, and yet we had
Speaker 3: a two percent chance of going in. They were so
Speaker 3: pompous that they didn't think we could win. And as
Speaker 3: soon as we did win, that's when they lashed out, right,
Speaker 3: They couldn't believe that. Again, as I said this, this
Speaker 3: small group of people could go in there and beat
Speaker 3: the most iconic person probably American politics, or at least
Speaker 3: family name that was probably most synonymous with politics over
Speaker 3: the last you know, five decades, you know, when we
Speaker 3: didn't know what the hell a delegate was, when we
Speaker 3: didn't you know, know what a caucus was, when we
Speaker 3: didn't know how to play the game, when we had
Speaker 3: been to Washington, all of that, you know, two times
Speaker 3: before that, you know, for for anything you know, related
Speaker 3: to politics, and and that's when the swamps started lashing out.
Speaker 3: And the way they came after our family was not
Speaker 3: the shortest spectacular. But you called it, and my father
Speaker 3: called it, and you had the intuition to know exactly
Speaker 3: what they were going to do, and they probably put
Speaker 3: your intuition on steroids, you know, uh, you know exactly
Speaker 3: what they did actually.
Speaker 2: Do you know.
Speaker 1: I had this conversation with Jared and Ivanka. I had
Speaker 1: sent them both a text. I said, everything you've ever
Speaker 1: done in the business world is kindergarten compared to the
Speaker 1: world you're about to enter. It was the day that
Speaker 1: it was announced that they were going to the White House,
Speaker 1: and I said, Uh, I'm just telling you that I
Speaker 1: would get a lawyer now and dot every eye, cross
Speaker 1: every tee because it's not a matter of when it's if.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a matter if it's when they're
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna be coming after you. Uh, I need
Speaker 1: I'd be negligent if I didn't say how touching it
Speaker 1: was your dedication to your children, Luke and Carolina. Uh beautiful.
Speaker 1: Uh the fact that your dad and uh Laura also
Speaker 1: wrote forwards for the book, they were very very touching too.
Speaker 1: I love how the dad, your dad told the story
Speaker 1: about you, you know, joining the family business, and how
Speaker 1: important that was to you, and how you made that decision.
Speaker 1: How incredibly strong in support of Laura is. I mean,
Speaker 1: it really gives insight into what a strong family you have.
Speaker 3: I didn't know he was going to write that forward,
Speaker 3: and I also didn't know he was going to read
Speaker 3: the ford I I I told Simon Schuster, I go,
Speaker 3: if you know, no one's reading the book other than me,
Speaker 3: and no one's writing the book other than me. I
Speaker 3: wrote every word in it, and I mean every but
Speaker 3: I got the forward from my father and I've blown away.
Speaker 3: I think. I think Laura coordinated behind the scenes, that
Speaker 3: me knowing. And he wrote that, and then you know,
Speaker 3: sure enough, when I when I read the entire book,
Speaker 3: you know, all of a sudden, I get a file
Speaker 3: and it was his voice, and he read it from
Speaker 3: the Oval office, and it was just kind of a
Speaker 3: beautiful you know, but everything we've ever done, Sean, I
Speaker 3: think you know this. You know, we fought together from
Speaker 3: the very beginning. Is the only the only way we
Speaker 3: were able to win. But I think what a lot
Speaker 3: of people don't appreciate. He called me to his office
Speaker 3: and he goes, Honey, I want you to run the company.
Speaker 3: I was thirty three years old at the time. You know,
Speaker 3: ten fifteen, you know, twenty billion dollars real estate empire,
Speaker 3: depending on how you want to value it. And he goes, Listen,
Speaker 3: you built half of our buildings, you run all the teams,
Speaker 3: you deeply love real estate. I want you to be
Speaker 3: the person who runs you know, the Trump organization. And Sean,
Speaker 3: I thought this would be great. I run our hotels,
Speaker 3: I run our golf courses, I'm mentally confident doing that.
Speaker 3: There's there's no one that does hospitality better than us.
Speaker 3: It's in our DNA, and we love it and we're
Speaker 3: really good at it. I never thought that ninety eight
Speaker 3: percent of my time was going to be spent keeping
Speaker 3: DA's keeping ags off of our backs, you know, fighting
Speaker 3: you know Russia, Shams. I mean, I've told you the
Speaker 3: story a hundred times on your show, but you know,
Speaker 3: getting calls from the FBI, Eric, I hear you have
Speaker 3: secret servers in the basement of Trump Tower communicating with
Speaker 3: the Kremlin. I mean when I got that call, I
Speaker 3: literally started laughing aloud. Come on, guys, come over here,
Speaker 3: you know, walk walk any room in the basement of
Speaker 3: Trump Tower. Walk any room in Trump Tower. We have
Speaker 3: no secret servers. You know, you don't put secret servers
Speaker 3: in basements. This is this is nonsense, Like we weren't
Speaker 3: smart enough to come up with and we were trying
Speaker 3: to figure out what delegates were, we were trying to
Speaker 3: figure out what the Iowa caucuses were. You think we
Speaker 3: were smart enough to collude with Russia? But this became
Speaker 3: my life. I mean I spent more time being a
Speaker 3: psychologist to employees as DA's and ags. We're trying to
Speaker 3: trap my employees and threaten them. Hey, you tell us
Speaker 3: anything about Donald Trump, and you're set free. You know,
Speaker 3: you you go. Otherwise we're gonna you know, we're looking
Speaker 3: at your son, and we're looking at your daughter, and
Speaker 3: we're gonna come after you. You know, we we I mean,
Speaker 3: they were they were extorting our employees. They weren't teaching
Speaker 3: my father. They were calling up, you know, every big
Speaker 3: bank in the country telling them to you know, to
Speaker 3: dbank us to get rid of the payment rails for
Speaker 3: our entire companies, so we couldn't run hotels, so we
Speaker 3: couldn't run our you know, our condominiums. I mean, I
Speaker 3: became the most pointive person in American history. I've never
Speaker 3: gotten so much as a parking ticket, you know. And
Speaker 3: I became the most painted person in the history of
Speaker 3: the country simply because I was the catalyst to my father.
Speaker 3: I was the guy who was running the organization. My
Speaker 3: father had constitutional protections as Commander in chief of the
Speaker 3: United States yets, who didn't have constitutional protections. The guy
Speaker 3: that was running everything that was Donald Trump's lineage, which
Speaker 3: was which was me, all all the real estates and
Speaker 3: so they treated me like the pinata. They came after
Speaker 3: me every single day, The amount of depositions I sat in,
Speaker 3: the amount of you know, I mean, you just wouldn't
Speaker 3: believe the legal lawfair that they put us under criminally
Speaker 3: civilly for doing absolutely nothing wrong in all cases that
Speaker 3: we've won. And Sean, that was the siege. That's the
Speaker 3: point of under siege. But the book is so much
Speaker 3: more than that. It's it's how my father raised us, right,
Speaker 3: how my father and mother was ad a great mother,
Speaker 3: but how my father and mother raised us, how we
Speaker 3: became exceptionally normal in the most unlikely situations. You know,
Speaker 3: how he created great kids, because every single one of
Speaker 3: his kids, of the five kids, are our good, hardworking, honest,
Speaker 3: you know, well mannered kids. But also how you can
Speaker 3: fight a system, and how you can win if you
Speaker 3: have enough backbone, if you have enough perseverance, no matter
Speaker 3: you know, what walls are caving in on you, no
Speaker 3: matter what pressures you have in life. As gloomy as
Speaker 3: it looks, and I can't tell you how damn gloomy
Speaker 3: it looked on so many days for me and for
Speaker 3: my father as we sat in those courtrooms. You know,
Speaker 3: how with perseverance and fight you can overcome. And that's
Speaker 3: what we did as a country. That's what we did
Speaker 3: as a family. But that's what we did as a country,
Speaker 3: including you. We won. We won the greatest, you know,
Speaker 3: fight of all time. We won the most unorthodox fight
Speaker 3: of all time, when the cards were all stacked against us,
Speaker 3: and we did it together. And Sean, as a friend
Speaker 3: of mine, as a person, I love tremendously, and you
Speaker 3: know my affection toward you. There was no one on
Speaker 3: the front line like you. I mean, you know, it
Speaker 3: was our family, it was you. It was very few
Speaker 3: other people in the early days that truly believed other
Speaker 3: than your listeners and the American people who had enough
Speaker 3: of the nonsense and the crap and finally stood up
Speaker 3: and said enough. You know, we don't buy this. We
Speaker 3: don't buy this anymore. What's happening is not right, and
Speaker 3: we want our country back.
Speaker 1: I want to get into all the details that you
Speaker 1: go into in the book in terms of, you know,
Speaker 1: the very specifics of what you've been through. But here's
Speaker 1: the beauty, because let's just leap to the end of
Speaker 1: the story. The end of the story is Donald Trump
Speaker 1: gets re elected president. The end of the story is
Speaker 1: he is forever tattooed the words fake and news into
Speaker 1: the state run legacy media mob, and nobody trusts them anymore,
Speaker 1: nor should they trust them anymore. And it's that that,
Speaker 1: to me is remarkable that the truth, you know, eventually
Speaker 1: came out. I remember, back way before your father ever
Speaker 1: decided to run for president, I would go over. I
Speaker 1: would interview your dad, nothing to do really with politics,
Speaker 1: and just because he's such a dynamic figure and we
Speaker 1: kind of we built a friendship together, and he would
Speaker 1: always proud walk me back to say hello to you
Speaker 1: and Avanka and Don Junior, and you would all be
Speaker 1: in your respective offices and you'd be working for the organization,
Speaker 1: and I mean such a close, tight knit family, and
Speaker 1: all of you stood by him, all of you fought.
Speaker 1: Then it got hard, you did, you know. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I ever told you the day I got
Speaker 1: a call one day from a very reliable source telling
Speaker 1: me your brother was about to be indicted over that
Speaker 1: stupid meeting that took place at Trump Tower that had
Speaker 1: nothing to do with anything, And I'm like, you got
Speaker 1: to be kidding me, And thank god it never happened.
Speaker 1: But but those were the kind of moments that would
Speaker 1: unfold and that you chronicle in this book.
Speaker 3: They did. I mean, you had Adam Shifp that was
Speaker 3: running around, you know, saying that Don was a Russian operative, right,
Speaker 3: and and I mean it was it was unbelievable. And
Speaker 3: they were saying the same of me. You know, if
Speaker 3: you didn't have you know, constitutional protections of the you
Speaker 3: know under the Speech and debate clause, you know, you
Speaker 3: would suit him for slander and you would have you
Speaker 3: would have won. He would have had absolutely nothing. I
Speaker 3: mean he was literally going around saying that Don was
Speaker 3: a Russian operative, and and and it was just it
Speaker 3: was it was not true. Remember he said he had
Speaker 3: the evidence and he was going to present the evidence.
Speaker 3: And you know what's amazing, Sean, I mean, they dug
Speaker 3: so deep on Russia that you know who they found.
Speaker 3: They found Hillary Clinton, they found Barack Obama. It's like
Speaker 3: the great irony of the world. It's no, it's no
Speaker 3: different than let Titia James. She dug so deep on
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. You know who she ended up finding. She
Speaker 3: ended up finding it. She was committing mortgage fraud, right,
Speaker 3: you know, she found her you know her herself. You know,
Speaker 3: she found the fact that she had a convicted criminal
Speaker 3: living in her house. It's what the Democrats do every
Speaker 3: single time. Jack Smith dug so deep, you know, when
Speaker 3: he rated mar Lago that sure enough, we find out
Speaker 3: in the aftermath that he was actually the guy planting
Speaker 3: classified folders on the on the carpet of my father's office.
Speaker 3: And you know, I could go, I could go on
Speaker 3: and on, but that's all they wanted to do. They
Speaker 3: wanted to inflict serious pain. They wanted to make our
Speaker 3: family so miserable that we said, you know what, you know,
Speaker 3: let's go back to this coasty billionaire lifestyle. We've got
Speaker 3: an amazing organization. We can fly around on trumpt One,
Speaker 3: We've got great golf forses, we've got great resorts all
Speaker 3: over the place. Let's just make their lives so uncomfortable
Speaker 3: and so damn miserable that they're gonna throw in the towel.
Speaker 3: And Sean, we never threw in the towel. My father
Speaker 3: never threw in the towel. I never threw in the towel.
Speaker 3: In the darkest moments when I did not need to
Speaker 3: be there, I was the only guy. I was the
Speaker 3: one guy that was sitting in the courtroom every single
Speaker 3: day by his side. And I remember a lot of
Speaker 3: days I'd leave court, I'd come right on your show
Speaker 3: and we would talk about it. But I would not
Speaker 3: leave my father's side. I was going to be there,
Speaker 3: come hell or high water, no matter what they did
Speaker 3: to me, no matter what they did to him. And
Speaker 3: their only goal was exactly that it was a siege.
Speaker 3: Let's take away his voice, Let's imprison him. Let's come
Speaker 3: up with every indictment possible. Al Capone had one indictment.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump had the ninety one. You know, let's do
Speaker 3: the mugshot. Let's let's rape.
Speaker 2: I think is it ninety one or ninety four? I
Speaker 2: thought ninety four.
Speaker 3: I thought it was number one. But I honestly I lost.
Speaker 3: I lose track.
Speaker 2: I live, you lose count after a while, right.
Speaker 3: Hey, I have Excel spreadsheet the track, literally all the
Speaker 3: subpoenas that I got. I probably missed a couple as well. Right,
Speaker 3: So it's probably actually more than one hundred and twelve.
Speaker 3: But they wanted to do anything they could to lay siege,
Speaker 3: and they wanted us to give up, and they wanted
Speaker 3: us to walk away, and maybe there's some kind of
Speaker 3: like masochistic tendencies in the Trump genetics somewhere where we
Speaker 3: enjoy pain, you know, and we just would never walk away, Sean,
Speaker 3: And no.
Speaker 2: It's not that you enjoy pain.
Speaker 1: It's that you all have a common characteristic is that
Speaker 1: you all have an enormous inordinate amount of courage and
Speaker 1: resolve and you were not going to be bullied to death.
Speaker 2: The fact that your father went through.
Speaker 1: You know, look, I believe in that Cash is right,
Speaker 1: and we got to get to the bottom of the
Speaker 1: grand conspiracy and that is Hillary Clinton and you know
Speaker 1: she got you know, special privilege on the issue of
Speaker 1: top secret classified information. He didn't have, you know, any
Speaker 1: presidential privilege in terms of having that information. But of
Speaker 1: course they washed it under the rug Bleach bit you know,
Speaker 1: Hammer's devices, sim cards, the dirty Russian disinformation dossier. Oh,
Speaker 1: your dad was in a risk a ritz and Moscow
Speaker 1: and two hookers were urinating on him. And that becomes
Speaker 1: the basis of four FISA warrens to spy on your
Speaker 1: dad leading up to the raid of mar A Lago,
Speaker 1: which you start the book out with. You know, it's
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we're gonna do. We're gonna take
Speaker 1: a break. I want to go through each issue because
Speaker 1: you spell it out in detail. Every America needs to
Speaker 1: read this book, and I'll tell you why, because this
Speaker 1: is your country on the precipice of no longer existing
Speaker 1: as the great republic that we now were inherited. This
Speaker 1: is how bad it got. And literally at the center
Speaker 1: of all of this was Eric. Because they couldn't always
Speaker 1: go after his father. They went after his father for
Speaker 1: four straight years, hoping that they could bloody him up
Speaker 1: enough that he wouldn't be elected. Thank god, the American
Speaker 1: people were hip to it, and now they rejected. The
Speaker 1: lie is the propaganda, the smears, the besmirchment, the NonStop attacks,
Speaker 1: which by the way, continued to this day in the
Speaker 1: form of you know, racist Nazi, fascist, Hitler, Stall and Mussolini,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't stop. Eight hundred ninety four one show
Speaker 1: is a number more with Eric Trump. His new book
Speaker 1: is out Under Siege, My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation.
Speaker 1: It's now in bookstores all around the country. Amazon dot com.
Speaker 1: We have a link on Hannity dot com. And we'll
Speaker 1: continue with Eric on the other side and continue with
Speaker 1: our friend Eric Trump. But I you know, I really
Speaker 1: have come to consider everyone in your family, you know,
Speaker 1: a close friend. I've never met a person that loves
Speaker 1: his job more than your father. And just this week alone,
Speaker 1: Look what he's been able to accomplish. Look at what
Speaker 1: he did yesterday for Charlie Kirk. Look at what he
Speaker 1: did with peace in the Middle East. Look what he's
Speaker 1: doing with seventeen trillion in investments and oil dominance in
Speaker 1: the in the country, the largest tax cuts in American history,
Speaker 1: for law and order, securing the border. I mean, fun,
Speaker 1: the mental things, but it takes the force of your
Speaker 1: father to get all this done.
Speaker 3: Sean, He's remarkable. He calls me a Saturday, honey, I
Speaker 3: want you to come over to Middle East with me.
Speaker 3: You know, this peace deal, this is this is an
Speaker 3: achievement of a lifetime, you know, I mean, this is
Speaker 3: we got Middle East piece. Why don't you fly over
Speaker 3: at May and I go pass. I'm literally launching my book.
Speaker 3: You know tomorrow I can't. I wish I could. But
Speaker 3: he flew over on Sunday, right, just to put this
Speaker 3: in perspective. He flies from from d C. He right
Speaker 3: to Israel. He does two stops in Israel. He speaks
Speaker 3: to Parliament there. Then he flies from there to Egypt
Speaker 3: and he speaks to all the world leaders. He does
Speaker 3: several press conferences, right, has one on ones with every
Speaker 3: one of the world leaders. And then he fies back
Speaker 3: to d C. He's back there thirty six hours, you
Speaker 3: know later, in order to meet you know, Millie from Argentina,
Speaker 3: you know, at noon, and then give Charlie Kirk the
Speaker 3: you know, the Medal of Freedom at four o'clock in
Speaker 3: the afternoon. I mean, the guy does not stop. He'll
Speaker 3: call me at eleven thirty at night, He'll call me
Speaker 3: at five o'clock in the morning. I mean, he just
Speaker 3: doesn't sleep right. And I think you know, because you've
Speaker 3: spoken me many.
Speaker 1: Oh listen, I know from people that were on that
Speaker 1: trip with them, he did not sleep a wink on
Speaker 1: the way home, not one second. And then he did
Speaker 1: all the events yesterday.
Speaker 3: He's remarkable and that's exactly what American needs. American needs
Speaker 3: a fighter, right, American needs a cheerleader. American needs to fighter.
Speaker 3: I mean he'll come off of Air Force one at
Speaker 3: three o'clock in the morning and go up to the
Speaker 3: gaggle of press. You know, they have two sticks holding
Speaker 3: their eyes open. There. You know, they've got four red bulls,
Speaker 3: you know, empty red bulls in their hands, are falling asleep.
Speaker 3: And by the way, you know half of them are
Speaker 3: twenty three years old. And here he is. I mean,
Speaker 3: I've always said my father's the energizer bunny, you know,
Speaker 3: in a shoot and a red tie on steroids. And
Speaker 3: that's how he's been my entire life. And it's exactly
Speaker 3: what America needs in a commander in chief. He's he's
Speaker 3: absolutely remarkable. But speaking about Middle East piece for a second,
Speaker 3: it made it all worth it, Sean. I said this
Speaker 3: too privately the other day, but it made it all
Speaker 3: worth it for me, for as many arrows and as
Speaker 3: many bullets as they put in our back. You know,
Speaker 3: when you see the amount of lives that were saved there,
Speaker 3: When you see the amount of lives that were saved,
Speaker 3: you know, in India, to you know, in avoiding that
Speaker 3: conference conflict with Pakistan, when you see the amount of
Speaker 3: lives that we're saved, and all the conflicts he's he's stopped,
Speaker 3: including obviously you know, Iran getting nuclear weapons because they
Speaker 3: would have used it, or they would have had one
Speaker 3: of their proxies used it against the Western world. But
Speaker 3: when you see him get peace in the Middle East,
Speaker 3: something that everybody laughed at. Obama laughed at it, Joe
Speaker 3: Biden laughed at it. They all laughed at it. This
Speaker 3: can't be done. They've been fighting for thousands of years.
Speaker 3: There's no way this is going to happen. And then
Speaker 3: you see all the related parties up there where Israel
Speaker 3: is happy, you know, or or we're power. I mean,
Speaker 3: everybody's happy. I mean all the leaders are happy over there.
Speaker 3: I mean every leader in the Middle East is applauding.
Speaker 3: It's not like these wars in the past where you
Speaker 3: might have one victor and you'll have one loser. Hear
Speaker 3: everybody satisfied and they're all happy with the end results.
Speaker 3: Like it's not a beautiful thing for humanity, and it
Speaker 3: makes the siege all worth it. It makes everything that
Speaker 3: we went through worth it because guess what, there are
Speaker 3: potentially millions of people right now who are alive because
Speaker 3: of what he just accomplished, whether it's now or whether
Speaker 3: it's in the future, and it's a beautiful thing to see.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many untold lives in the future
Speaker 1: will be saved because Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons. I
Speaker 1: do feel there's a misunderstanding of your father's doctrine or
Speaker 1: what we what I call the Trump doctrine. You know,
Speaker 1: people kind of they misinterpret No Forever Wars for not
Speaker 1: using American military might. But meanwhile, your dad took out
Speaker 1: the Isis calife. Your dad took out SOLMANI on that tarmac,
Speaker 1: he took out back Daddy and associates. He dropped the
Speaker 1: mother of all bombs on Afghanistan. And and here when
Speaker 1: he had the opportunity and Iran was getting close to
Speaker 1: being a nuclear power, he said that can't happen. He
Speaker 1: gave him a chance for peace. They rejected it, and
Speaker 1: he took him out, and thank god he did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's doing here with the cartels right now, which
Speaker 3: is as a person who is at four friends die
Speaker 3: of fentanyl, meaning four friends of mine who have lost
Speaker 3: kids to fentanyl. He's doing the same with cartels right now.
Speaker 3: You're gonna stop this stuff. You're gonna stop sending drugs
Speaker 3: into the United States. Otherwise we're gonna do something about it.
Speaker 3: And and Sean, he's doing something about it, and is great.
Speaker 3: But you know, my father was always the guy who
Speaker 3: was against you know, you see these outposts all right.
Speaker 3: There's a great movie actually called Rostreppo that was you know,
Speaker 3: it made specifically about this. But you'd have these outpost
Speaker 3: in Afghanistan, they'd have you know, ten kids. You know,
Speaker 3: these guys are twenty one years old, twenty two years old,
Speaker 3: and they're sitting up there and every day they're getting
Speaker 3: mortared and they're losing limbs and everything else. And he goes,
Speaker 3: I don't want this. I don't want this. I don't
Speaker 3: want to, you know, rebuild nations. I don't want to
Speaker 3: destroy a school and then have to rebuild it, and
Speaker 3: then we destroy it again, and then we rebuild it again.
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that. I want to have
Speaker 3: the greatest military in the world where if we ever
Speaker 3: have to go in, it will be over so damn
Speaker 3: quickly that people's heads are going to spend, right. But
Speaker 3: I don't want to go spend fifteen years in a region,
Speaker 3: see thousands of young people's lives, you know, get get killed,
Speaker 3: spend trillions of dollars when we could otherwise spend that
Speaker 3: on our own infrastructure. In the United States of America,
Speaker 3: we could rebuild every school, every bridge, every road, every
Speaker 3: fiber optic line, every five G network. I want to
Speaker 3: do that for the you know, the United States of America.
Speaker 3: I want to do that on our homeland. I don't
Speaker 3: want to do that abroad. So I want to have
Speaker 3: the greatest military, and I want to pray to God
Speaker 3: that we never have to use it. But if we
Speaker 3: do have to use it, we're gonna be ready and
Speaker 3: we're gonna knock their heads off, and we're gonna do
Speaker 3: it so quickly you know that we can get home.
Speaker 3: And I think that's what Americans universally want. People are
Speaker 3: sick and tired of occupying Iraq for years. People are
Speaker 3: sick and tired of what was happening in Afghanistan. People
Speaker 3: are sick and tired of, you know, being the protector
Speaker 3: of Germany and the protector of you know, South Korea,
Speaker 3: and the protector of the entire world. People are sick
Speaker 3: and tired of this, especially when all those countries views
Speaker 3: US on trade policies and everything else. And you know,
Speaker 3: if people are are so relieved that he's taking Foster, listen,
Speaker 3: if I have to hit them, I'm going to hit
Speaker 3: them hard. And by the way, you better believe that
Speaker 3: Solomani made a message, right, sent a great message to
Speaker 3: the entire world. You don't think that, Kim John un
Speaker 3: You don't think these people are watching as as Solomani
Speaker 3: got hit and alback, dad daddy got hit. Of course
Speaker 3: they were right, and they're gonna play a little nicer
Speaker 3: in the sandbox knowing you have a person who will
Speaker 3: actually take decisive action when we're required.
Speaker 1: Let me let me go back to your family though,
Speaker 1: and go back to your story. There's so much to
Speaker 1: cover and it's just impossible to do it in an hour.
Speaker 1: But everything that I mentioned earlier, from you know, Paiza
Speaker 1: Warrens and spying on your dad in a dirty Russian
Speaker 1: disinformation dossier. You know, we did have career senior Intel
Speaker 1: officials after twenty sixteen that had determined there was no
Speaker 1: Trump Russia collusion. Obama himself authorized another intel assessment to
Speaker 1: come up with a very different conclusion, sabotage your dad's
Speaker 1: first term, and they were successful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course it was. I mean, it's the same
Speaker 3: reason that the FBI was shouting at me to turn
Speaker 3: off all security cameras and mar Lago, Well, why would
Speaker 3: I turn off I'm Marlago with commercial property. Why am
Speaker 3: I turning off security cameras. We demand that you immediately
Speaker 3: turn off all security cameras. I got, I'm not turning
Speaker 3: off our security cameras. I'll never forget that conversation. I
Speaker 3: guess something is is deeply, deeply wrong with what they're doing.
Speaker 3: But they did weaponize the entire system, I mean, Sean,
Speaker 3: one of the great lessons. And by the way, I
Speaker 3: love them and women like of the FBI and of
Speaker 3: all law enforcement. The actual gun carrier is not the
Speaker 3: bureaucrats at the top, but a can call down. And
Speaker 3: I've told the story. I don't think I've ever told
Speaker 3: it publicly. It's it's in the book. But I get
Speaker 3: called down to FBI headquarters in New York. There's a
Speaker 3: threat against the Trump organization. Eric, we come down here.
Speaker 3: We need to debrief you on it. They bring me upstairs.
Speaker 3: I drive in. No one knows Sean I'm going down there.
Speaker 3: Secret Service takes me down. We go in the basement
Speaker 3: of the building, We go right upstairs to the top
Speaker 3: floor into the skiff and they say, Eric, there's a
Speaker 3: big cybersecurity you know, threat against Trump organization. You know,
Speaker 3: we need to tell you about it. You know, and
Speaker 3: it was just it was the most vague nonsense that
Speaker 3: you'd ever heard in your entire life. I'm literally rolling
Speaker 3: my eyes to it. If you had one person in
Speaker 3: an IT department, you would have you could have seen
Speaker 3: anything that they were telling you about. Not that we
Speaker 3: you know, we were strangers to to to Ice it
Speaker 3: threats against our company. And I'll never forget. You can't
Speaker 3: tell anybody you're here. This is down by secrets, so
Speaker 3: you can't tell anybody you're here. I get back in
Speaker 3: the cars. I haven't even left the building yet. We're
Speaker 3: driving up the ramps that leaves the FBI building in
Speaker 3: New York and I get a call from the head
Speaker 3: of ABC News, you know, the person, John Santucci. And
Speaker 3: I get a call from John, and he goes, what
Speaker 3: are you doing on FBI headquarters? I go, John, I
Speaker 3: have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not at
Speaker 3: FBI headquarters. He goes, Eric, you're lying to me. You're
Speaker 3: down there right now. You're just leaving the building. I go, John,
Speaker 3: I have no idea what you're talking about. Eric, don't
Speaker 3: lie to me. I know why you're there. I go,
Speaker 3: why would I possibly be there? Well, they're investigating a
Speaker 3: cyber attack, you know, from Iran against the Trump organization.
Speaker 3: And I go, how do you know that? And he
Speaker 3: goes Eric because their press office from DC just called
Speaker 3: and told me all about it. And they literally brought
Speaker 3: me into that office and they made me sign every document,
Speaker 3: and they brought me in under the cover of darkness
Speaker 3: and under total secrecy. And I go, oh my god,
Speaker 3: they are literally doing it. This is the weaponization of government.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're literally they're bringing me in there as
Speaker 3: a pawn. I never thought that that would be the
Speaker 3: country that I lived in. I didn't. And by the way,
Speaker 3: that that was just the tip of the sphere relative
Speaker 3: to what we went through between the impeachments and the dossiers.
Speaker 3: And you mentioned the dossier's before and some of the horrible,
Speaker 3: wretched things I can't even say on the radio that
Speaker 3: they said my father was doing Golden you know what's
Speaker 3: and everything. They did that to break up his marriage.
Speaker 3: They did that to break up his family, They did
Speaker 3: that to embarrass him. It was all paid for by
Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton, and it was all paid for by the Democrats, right.
Speaker 3: That was the siege. They wanted to do everything they
Speaker 3: could to destroy his life financially, legally. They wanted to
Speaker 3: imprison him. They wanted to smear his name. They wanted
Speaker 3: to take his voice. They wanted to gag order him
Speaker 3: every day. They wanted the mug shot. They didn't meet
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's mugshot. He's the most recognizable person on planet Earth. Right,
Speaker 3: he wasn't a flight risk. They wanted to do everything
Speaker 3: they could, and when that didn't work Sewan, they tried
Speaker 3: to kill him in Butler's And by the way, in
Speaker 3: terms of Butler Pennsylvania, I'm not satisfied, and by the way,
Speaker 3: I don't think the entire country is satisfied with.
Speaker 1: By the way, neither am I. There's no reason at all.
Speaker 1: I used to be a contractor. That's not a slope
Speaker 1: proof Eric, not even close.
Speaker 3: They had eighty year old congressmen walking across that roof,
Speaker 3: and you had Kimberlee Cheadle talking about how it was
Speaker 3: too slow, giving me a break. I'm also non satisfied
Speaker 3: that they let somebody at one hundred and thirty yards
Speaker 3: with a modern scoped rifle, you know, shoot at a
Speaker 3: quarter you know it is It is infuriating to son
Speaker 3: of what I'm really not satisfied with and I'm really not.
Speaker 3: And this is maybe the only place in the world
Speaker 3: I disagree with my father because you know, I for
Speaker 3: national security reasons, a whole lot of other reasons. And
Speaker 3: I amend and applaud his composure based on what happened
Speaker 3: to him and the fact that he almost had his
Speaker 3: head blown off. But we don't know a damn thing
Speaker 3: about this guy. And I go into that in great
Speaker 3: detail and under stage. You know, they literally stripped the
Speaker 3: phones of every single January sixth protester. They broke into
Speaker 3: every iPhone of every grandmother that was taking a selfie
Speaker 3: in the capital. But we don't know a damn thing
Speaker 3: about the person who shot at the forty fifth and
Speaker 3: very soon to be forty seventh president of the United States.
Speaker 3: You know, we have one picture of this kid, and
Speaker 3: he looks like he's fourteen years old, right, and you know,
Speaker 3: and the guy had multiple phones. Give me a break,
Speaker 3: you know, the guy was cremated faster than most household pets. Sean,
Speaker 3: I call BS, and I think this entire country calls BS,
Speaker 3: and we better find out who's this guy actually was?
Speaker 1: All right, quick break a few more minutes, final moments
Speaker 1: with Eric Trump. His new book just out Under Siege,
Speaker 1: My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation, now in bookstores
Speaker 1: around the country, Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com, Quick
Speaker 1: Break More with Eric on the other Side. Up next,
Speaker 1: our final roundup and Information Overload Hour. All right, we
Speaker 1: can say, you know, Eric Trump is with us, never
Speaker 1: done this before, holding him a little bit over the hour.
Speaker 1: Your life became a living hell. And I would talk
Speaker 1: to you throughout that period of times and I'm like,
Speaker 1: my mouth was a gape. I'm just like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: it is unprecedented what they did to you and your family.
Speaker 1: You tell the whole story. It is inspiring because you
Speaker 1: conclude on this program today it was all worth it,
Speaker 1: and it speaks volumes about who you are, the friend
Speaker 1: that you've become, and Laura's become, and your family's become,
Speaker 1: and about your father, the father that stood up and
Speaker 1: said fight, fight, fight after Butler, and more importantly, you've
Speaker 1: laid out a roadmap.
Speaker 2: We better get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 3: Eric, yep Sean, it's one of the reasons I had
Speaker 3: to materialize all of this. Right, you know more about
Speaker 3: revisionist history than anybody. Every person listening to his program
Speaker 3: understands through revision is history. Just go on Wikipedia if
Speaker 3: you want to understand revere history. They do everything they
Speaker 3: can using the mainstream media to rewrite the history that
Speaker 3: they want rewritten, to leave in or out the details
Speaker 3: that they think is relevant. And it had to take
Speaker 3: the son of a president to write something from the heart,
Speaker 3: but something with hard, concrete facts that are indisputable as
Speaker 3: to what they did and the way they were willing
Speaker 3: to weaponize the system, they would have been very happy for.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you how many feathers this book is going
Speaker 3: to ruffle. They wanted us to all disappear. They wanted
Speaker 3: all of this to fade into the distant memories of
Speaker 3: a few select people and never actually be put down
Speaker 3: on paper. And I really believe I had to do
Speaker 3: it for the history of this country. I really believe
Speaker 3: I had to do it to show people how democracy,
Speaker 3: how fragile it can actually be, and how quickly it
Speaker 3: can go awry. And Sean, listen, I'm a builder. You've
Speaker 3: known me my entire life. I build buildings. I'm the
Speaker 3: number one selling offer in the country right now. That
Speaker 3: was not meant to be this much. I can tell
Speaker 3: you I am number one on Amazon. We are number
Speaker 3: one in every single category.
Speaker 2: When you wrote every word yourself. People need to know that,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: So. So the point of that's me saying that is
Speaker 3: people are pissed off, and people want accountability, and people
Speaker 3: want to understand what happened, and people aren't letting this go.
Speaker 3: Your listeners aren't letting this go. I'm not letting this go.
Speaker 3: And and sure, sure as hell, my father is not
Speaker 3: letting this go. We can't let it go. This is
Speaker 3: this is literally, I mean, they had our country by
Speaker 3: the neck. This siege wasn't just against Donald Trump, right,
Speaker 3: It wasn't just against us as a family. It wasn't
Speaker 3: just against me as a guy who ran everything outside
Speaker 3: of Washington, d C. This siege was against you when
Speaker 3: they weaponized the i R s. This was against you
Speaker 3: when they were leaking your tax returns. This was against
Speaker 3: every person listening right now, you know, as they weaponize
Speaker 3: you know again i RS agencies to go after their
Speaker 3: pastors and their bishops and their churches and their religious
Speaker 3: organizations and conservative nonprofits. It was every person listening as
Speaker 3: they got looked over for the next promotion because of
Speaker 3: some DEI higher because of the you know, the you know,
Speaker 3: the peerio of wokeness. It's it's for every father and
Speaker 3: mother who had you know, a daughter that had to
Speaker 3: swim against the guy my size sixty four and fifteen pounds.
Speaker 2: All right, So, Eric, if I consist, stop you.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to interrupt you at all, especially during
Speaker 1: the middle of that flow. But I've never done this
Speaker 1: in the history of the show. I've never kept an
Speaker 1: author over an hour. But i just think what you're
Speaker 1: saying is so critical, so vital, so important, uh, and
Speaker 1: that we learn the lessons of what you and your
Speaker 1: family have gone through. If you're it's okay with you,
Speaker 1: I'll hold you over just for a few more minutes
Speaker 1: in the into the next half hour, if you don't mind. Honest,
Speaker 1: Eric Trump is thank you, Eric Trump. Under siege, my
Speaker 1: family's fight to save our nation. Quick break more with
Speaker 1: Eric Trump on the other side as we continue
