RE: Donald Trump Book Discussion on The America We Deserve

Audience details:

Press: Several cameras

Summary of Event: From C-SPAN link: http://www.c-span.org/video/?154645-1/book-discussion-america-deserve Very poor video and audio. Trump seems to avoid answering questions about terrorism when asked on two separate instances in this clip. Says he supports death penalty. Trump talks about how the U.S. is getting ripped off like never before especially by China. We lose a hundred billion a year to China and they won't help us with N Korea. Says some vague stuff about spies everywhere.

Key Points:

Clip A:

0:00 Footage begins with narrator explaining that Trump is doing a tour for his book "The America We Deserve" at the Atrium of the Trump Tower in NYC.

0:53 Trump walks up to a podium, takes mic, thanks ppl and says they've done three books that have gone to #1 but have been much different than this one. This one is about what I think about the country. Hope it also becomes #1 best seller. Sits down and starts signing books.

1:40 After someone says something to Trump he appears to go back to podium after sitting down and starts to take questions.

1:58 Trump affirms that he believes strongly in the death penalty.

2:05 Mostly inaudible question and Trump says they'll cover that on Friday and is meeting with Governor Ventura on Friday and he'll be making speech to Chamber of Commerce and will be covering that on Friday.

2:24 Another mostly inaudible question. Trump says it's something that has turned out to be very serious. If you look at the crowds... Our internal poll numbers have been amazing, ratings on TV have been the highest of anyone by far. If you look at the numbers people have now seen that this has become very real.

2:48 Another mostly inaudible question. Trump says he will make a decision in February based on whether he thinks he can win. I'm not looking to get 20% of the vote. If I think I can win we may very well have a positive decision.

3:06 Another mostly inaudible question. Trump says he's gonna meet with him and talk to him and he's makin a speech in Minnesota for him and attending a fundraiser for him.

3:22 Another mostly inaudible question. Trump says he hasn't made that determination. It'll be somebody very exciting.

3:30 Another mostly inaudible question. Trump saying they have a lot of very great positives in the polls. Polls are interesting. You can get a poll to say anything depending on the way they're asked. Has a lot of tremendous positives. 60 Minutes is doing a piece on January 11th. I think it'll be positive but we'll see.

3:53 Question sounds like man is asking if he'd like Jesse Ventura as his VP. TRUMP: I like Jesse, I think he's terrific, I think he's done a great job.

3:58 Another mostly inaudible question. Trump says there's a lot of things he'd do if elected President but one thing he'd do is stop other countries from ripping off the United States. We're like a whipping post and I would stop other countries from ripping off the United States. They are ripping us like we've never been ripped before. If you look at Japan... If you look at China, where we lose a hundred billion a year with China and they do nothing to help us with N Korea. So I would start right at that point.

4:37 Another mostly inaudible question. Trump appears to ignore a question about terrorism. Trump talking about how he might be too honest and straightforward to run for office but he thinks the public may have changed he thinks they may want honesty, someone who is gonna be a little bit straightforward. But he may be too honest to be a politician.

5:20 B-roll of Trump signing books

10:30 Man who wants to build something talking to Trump who says it's a great lot and he'll take a look at it.

11:30 Question comes from someone about what he says about spies in the book. Trump: the world is taking advantage of us big league. And we have spies all over the place but they're not ours. So I sorta like the old system and I like it a lot better. Everyone's lookin to take advantage of this country and its gotta stop.

11:48 Trump seems to refuse to answer a question about terrorism and states that he believes in the death penalty.
