things in his record would have been a scandal and a problem to his running mate. it is testament to donald trump that he is so controversial that picking mike pence with mike pence s record, it hasn t given donald trump a single day of heartburn in the entire campaign. i mean if in this campaign anybody could pay attention to mike pence for more than ten seconds without passing out for lack of oxygen, this thing from him about women in the military, bad idea, that would be a scandal, right? that would be a problem for a campaign. maybe it will be still some day. for a long time i felt like this issue has been a lurking liability for trump and pence, just sort of waiting at some point to cause them trouble. well, now that trouble may finally be coming to pass, because now with this new tape that we are about to broadcast for the first time ever, this has never been heard publicly any time before, this is the first time anywhere, here is donald trump not 16 years ago or 18 years ago whe
why are we having it for? just give it to trump. what are we having it for? what are you having this election for? i know. if you think of yourself as a person who has never actually had to work for anything because you were born innately great, you were bornin ately as the great is athlete, if you were excellent at everything you ever tried because you were born basically perfect, then why should you have to compete for something. i deserve it by virtue of me being me. so it offers an insight. this tape from the trump biographer which provided it to the new york times, i think this is newsworthy tape, and i think it is helpful to understanding how donald trump is running for president now, because he on tape here talks in this very unguarded way about how he sees himself and that is a rare thing we don t ever get from any candidate, let alone from him. but there is another piece of
we re thinking we re talking about maybe he was 17 or 16 years old, when he was 16 years old, that was 1962. that s when the yankees went to the world series, they won the world series. it was like mickey mantle, roger maris. even if you don t know anything about baseball, you know mickey mantle. but it turns out none of them were the best baseball player in new york that year. no, it was this other guy. i was the best baseball player in new york when i was young. this is the best tape we ve gotten our hands on in a very long time. this is incredible. all right. this is from 2014. there is a pulitzer prize-winning reporter named michael dantonio. in preparing the book he did hours and hours of interviews with donald trump, just raw footage of them talking. some of those tapes have been obtained by the new york times. the the new york times has
donald trump two years ago in 2014, unprompted, answering a totally unrelated question. just deciding to bring up voluntarily his donald trump opinion on women in the military. when you were young, what did you think of the 60s counterculture, the hippies, the music? you didn t do any of that stuff. no, i wasn t into it. it wasn t that i wasn t into it. what did you think? well, i went i went to a military academy, which was from a different planet. we didn t have that. and we didn t have women in the academy at that time. today you have women, which is a whole other story, you know, women in the army, and you see what s going on. it s like bedlam. it is bedlam. it s something that people aren t talking about, but what s going on is bedlam, bringing women in the army.
consent decree that dates back to the 1980s on this subject. the rnc is under a consent decree that dates back to the 1980s on this subject. i mean technically donald trump himself can go out and talk about all of this stuff, but the rnc under this consent decree, they can t take part in any of it. it has to be crystal clear that there s no working together here between the trump campaign and the rnc on issues of ballot integrity and poll watching on election day, particularly when those efforts target minority districts. if there is coordination, that may be a problem. the democratic party now argues that would be a violation of that consent decree. i finally pulled aside kellyanne conway and said what is the campaign going to do. is this the central strategy to contest the election. she said she s actively working with the republican national committee, the official party and campaign lawyers to monitor precincts around the country. so this isn t just an outside
