Intro

0:27

Dana: So, Sen. McCain was responding to whether Donald needs to apologize. We played the audio of Donald Trump talking to Frank Lutz saying he doesn’t think he’s a hero. Joining me on the phone Donald Trump good afternoon Mr. Trump. Thanks for joining us today.

Donald Trump: If you knew the shows I turned down just to speak with you, you would be very impressed with yourself Dana. Thank you.

Dana: Our show is the best.

DT: It is that’s why I am doing it.

Dana: Do you think McCain is a hero or courageous?

DT: We were in Phoenix two weeks ago and we had a huge crowd bigger than Bernie Sanders. We had a great crowd and great people. McCain said that Trump brought out the crazies. You know why he said they are crazy because they want to stop illegal immigration. A lot of people thanked me for what I did. He called them crazies that was very insulting. It also started with the vets. They are being treated so badly. They are being treated like 3rd world citizens. They are strong great people with tears in their eyes. John McCain has been in charge of the VA and he should, but he has done nothing. Plus I raised he a lot of money when he ran for President. He lost. I can’t blame him for that. If you look at my answer what I said was fine. Cheryl Atkinson a piece that she put out yesterday said Trump did nothing wrong. The Today Show did it today where they put a little select piece. They put it on. There was a firestorm over this much like what I said about the illegal aliens coming into our country. No one had done more for vets than me. I built the vietnam memorial in Manhattan. I finance the Veterans day parade. It was one of the largest parades in NY. I love the vets. I work with the wounded warriors. John McCain has nothing. I know how to run things and we will have proper care. They will be among the biggest beneficiaries.

6:46

Dana: McCain perhaps Donald Trump owes the people who’ve gone through prison camp experience. We just had the Chattanooga terrorist attack who we lost 5 people who served.

DT: With gun free zones. Sitting like sitting targets.

Dana: Just sitting I don’t get the impression that you are slamming the POWs. You are passionate about the fact that McCain has not come through for veterans.

DT: Totally not come through and he called 15,000 people crazy. He said that he didn’t really mean it and it was just a term of endearment. They are all heroes except for Sgt. Bergdahl. All you have do is look. Only about 10% of the media played that clip. When people say about apologize. I don’t mind apologizing if I am wrong, but I do mind if I am right. The VA is horrible.

Dana: What would you do to improve the VA?

DT: I am a great manager. I announced then I signed the form and showed my financials. I built a great company. I hope you saw the numbers. China, Japan and Mexico killing us at trade. The Mexican leaders are much smarter than our leaders. I am not mad at Mexico I am mad at our leaders. That won’t happen with Trump. The largest bank in my building and they respect me. I am speaking harshly about our leaders because we haven’t been using smart people to negotiate trade deals.

11:30

Dana: True, we haven’t been good negotiators particularly with this administration. First, would you have lowered the flag half mast and secondly, would arm our troops on their bases so they can protect themselves.

DT: Absolutely I would arm our soldiers. Who would have thought that we wouldn’t have our soldiers without guns. On the flag I was amazed it wasn’t lowered. With Kate from San Francisco I believe Obama hasn’t called.

Dana: How would you feel about asked John McCain to apologizing?

Donald Trump: Of course. I know crazies. They turned away 2000 people. We started out at a ballroom and had to be moved to the convention. There is a silent majority tired of pushed around by politicians where it is all talk and no action.

DanaL A lot of them are veterans. I told you a little earlier my grandfather went through the VA and it broke my heart. I would hope to see real reform there.

DT: In CA 52% of the people getting drivers licenses are illegal aliens. They are getting treated better than our vets. That won’t happen with Trump I promise you.

Dana: We appreciate your time today.

DT: Thank you take care.
