Summary of Event:

In this radio interview Mr. Trump talks about Paul Ryan, debt ceiling, Iran, trade deals, Cuba, Social Security, Syria, and unions.

Key points:

0:00 host: Welcome back to the show - Trump: it’s great to be back, you’re my lucky charm, every time i do your show something good happens

0:42 host: you’ll be in norfolk for a rally? Trump: that’s right - that’s some ship - they don’t make them that way anymore

1:17 host: you’re leading everywhere - you’re in dead heat with hillary clinton - i predicted you’d be the nominee - Trump: by the way it’s so true - i tell that to your audience - you were one of the few who predicted it early, i’m impressed - you got to see what was happening - when we’re in norfolk the crowds will be incredible - we make such crazy, what we’re doing to our country is crazy - trade deals, iran deal - we get bergdahl and they get 5 killers - now it looks like he’s not going to jail - in the old days they shoot him - we have tremendous unemployment we’re talking about 25% unemployment - we’re losing our business to other countries - we went to Dallas we had 20,000 people - we had 3 days to fill the arena and we filled it the first day - in Mobile, AL, SC has been amazing - when we go to Norfolk - my father had a little job there - it was a navy job - every time the ships pulled out no one had a job - then when they came back there’d be like 25 people in there - it was sorta cute

4:30 host: we covered your richmond rally - we called this a movement - what is driving it? Trump: it’s a movement - when you get into the room you’ll see that in Norfolk - we had a high school in IA and NH where there were so many people we had to move it outside - it’s more than just people getting together - the unhappiness with our political system and leaders is incredible - they have no confidence and they shouldn't because they're destroying our country - there’s love in the room - we use the word rally and they say you shouldn’t because it’s associated with nixon - it’s not a silent majority - they go crazy - the level of enthusiasm is something very few people have seen before politically - a very successful friend of mine asked me how i do it without notes or teleprompters - it’s easy because there’s so much love in the room - norfolk will be fantastic

7:12 host: you said you can live with ryan as speaker but he’s on the other side of you for a lot of issues - how do you reconcile that - Trump: not easily - we’re given a choice - it looks like he’s going to be the one, if you have to live with it then you have to live it, we can’t say that we refuse to show up - he’s weak on immigration, pro-amnesty, that’s not what we’re about - a very conservative group in DC is backing him - you want a group of people who are unified - i’m surprised it’s not someone tougher or smarter

8:59 host: it’s like the conservatives overthrew boehner and got someone worse - Trump: i saw yesterday - i watch boehner, he said we will never close the govt - that’s fine to say, but the problem is the other side says ok so he’s not going to close the govt so we won, we can get anything we want - you can use debt ceiling to get a lot of points - it’s called the art of the deal - why did he have to put that out there - why couldn’t he have said let’s see what happens - he’s destroyed these people who are trying to negotiate for things

10:56 host: it’s a culture of losing - Trump: you have to lose when your biggest threat is off the table - you heard that and shook your head - the democrats have done better since the republicans have taken the majority - since McConnell & Boehner - the democrats have done better in the last few months - they’re winning more now than they have before - it’s a totally insane deal, they don’t even talk about monetary manipulation - that deal is a disgrace

12:45 host: Cuba relations? Trump: i think it’s ok that they were normalized - i was told that he could have made a better deal - now they want reparations - we asked for nothing - cuba was having a hard time, you could have made a better deal - we never get anything - i use bergdahl as a great example - we get a traitor and they get 5 killers - now they want 19 prisoners for 4 of ours - it was one of the dumb deals ever in history [sic]

14:44 host: social security? Trump: i want to save social security - i will stop losing 400 billion to china where they take our jobs - i will stop losing 70 billion to japan - i will turn all of that around and we’re going to do fine - even if we broke even - we’ll be rich again and we’ll take care of our people - some of these people want to destroy the contract

16:08 host: employee rights act? Trump: i would want to study that bill, that’s a tricky one - the unions have been chipping away at obama - i’ve had a good relationship with unions - but i like the concept of not having unions too - unions can be fine and they can be disastrous - i would like to take a look at that - i have studied the trade bill - i know it better than anyone- it’s being set up for china - they’re going to go through the back door and take advantage of people's stupidity

17:48 host: Assad? Trump: we have been bogged down in the middle east for 20 years and longer - we’ve spent trillions and meanwhile our country is falling apart, infrastructure is like 3rd world country - assad is bad guy but we’re fighting for rebels who we don’t know who they are - you get rid of gaddafi look what happens, we got rid of saddam, look what happens - i want to look at alternative and in the meantime we have to build our own country

19:20 host: wife just visited your winery in charlottesville so now she’s hooked on trump wine - trump: that’s a real tourist attraction, largest winery on east coast - we’re very proud of it, my son runs it, tell her she has great taste ok?
