Hammer and Nigel.

**Donald Trump** (0:02)
You believe these characters?

**Hammer** (0:03)
They're weirdos.
Hammer, did you see Trump's interview over the weekend with Meet the Press, Meet the Depressed? Oh, and he got up and walked out on Kristen Welker from NBC News. It was so, it was so delicious. It was so Trump. It was everything I had hoped. It's everything I voted for, I believe, for Donald Trump.

It's like when you see your favorite band play the biggest hit they've ever had. Like you've heard it a million times. You've seen it. But every once in a while, you kind of want to see if they still got it. Right. Like sports fans. Here's an analogy. Remember when Joe Montana left the 49ers, the 49ers were ready to move on with the young dynamic Steve Young. Yes. And Joe Montana goes to the Kansas City Chiefs. And there's a Monday night football game. And the Chiefs are down in the closing minutes. And Joe Montana drives them down the field and they win the game. And I remember Dan Deardorff, the broadcaster going, Take me now. I've seen everything. Like you still want to see if they got it.
And Trump, who made his name off Ripping the Media, still got it.

**Hammer** (1:20)
Deservedly so, by the way, Ripping the Media.

**Nigel** (1:23)
Absolutely. And that, I think, is why, one, so many people like Donald Trump because he's a counterpuncher. And two, this is why the Democrats can't stand the guy.
Like they dislike a lot of Republican policies, but they hate Trump because he treats them the way that Republicans have been treated for years. And Trump isn't even really a real Republican. I mean, if we're getting down to it.
But he rallied the baseman because he said, You know what? You're not going to treat me like Bush. You're not going to treat me like you did all these other Republicans. I got a big social media following. Blank me, blank you. He was a counterpuncher.

**Hammer** (2:07)
Also, I mean, conversely, I'm not Bush.
I'm not going to be treated this way, right? I'm not going to let you do that. You're not going to treat me this way, and I'm not going to let you do it.

**Nigel** (2:19)
Republicans were so desperate for somebody to fight back against the Democrat machine, and Donald Trump became that guy.
And I honestly believe this is why so many people want him dead. They tried to lock him up. They can't stand him more than anybody else because he gives them a dose of their own medicine. And this brings us to Kristen Welker of NBC News. She along with like Margaret Brennan of CNN and formerly Joy Reid, some of the biggest anti-Trump broadcasters you will find. And you said broad.
Kristen Welker, you're going to hear this in these sound bites we're going to play. She's somebody that you've got the president of the United States in front of you, but she can't stop talking. It's one thing to push back on a statement, but she constantly has to interrupt Donald Trump. And I think it was getting on his nerves.

**Donald Trump** (3:24)
What they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong.

**Kristen Welker** (3:31)
Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying, but let me ask you about Todd Blanch. Let me ask you about Todd Blanch.

**Donald Trump** (3:37)
Listen to me.

**Kristen Welker** (3:38)
Let's talk about Todd Blanch.

**Donald Trump** (3:38)
This tremendous evidence is nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. It was a dirty election.

**Kristen Welker** (3:45)
Mr. President, you've never presented evidence that the 2020 election was rigged.

**Donald Trump** (3:51)
Right now, it's looking.

**Kristen Welker** (3:52)
Look at what's happening in California.

**Nigel** (3:54)
He's trying to tell you.

**Donald Trump** (3:56)
In California, it's... No, they're not. They're dropping fast, because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you.

**Nigel** (4:03)
Now, for context, if you haven't seen this, they're in some sort of, like, barn in Wisconsin. It's pouring down rain. You hear the rain, like, landing on the tractors and the silo and all this kind of stuff outside. So that's what that sound is. But Trump's talking about some election abnormalities, and poor Kristen can't let it happen.
Let it breathe a little bit, Kristen. Now, here's a little bit more of their back and forth.

**Donald Trump** (4:33)
It's four days, and they aren't even close to coming up with it. You know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election.

**Kristen Welker** (4:40)
