So the president decides to do an interview with Meet the Press' Kristen Welker.
She flies out to Wisconsin. Conditions are horrible. It is raining. It is pouring. If you listen to the entire interview, it's tough to listen to at times. Multiple times they had to stop for five to 10 minutes and the president is still sitting there. This was one of the most viral clips on X yesterday because at the end, abruptly, the president gets up and walks out. And I want you to watch this and say, was this the right move? Was it not the right move? The president called Kristen Welker a couple words. Rob, go on and play this clip. Let's react to it. Go for it.

**Donald Trump** (1:00)
It was a dirty election. And it's happening again right now in California. It's happening right now in California. Right now, look at what's happening in California. It's four days in California.
No, they're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, 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** (1:27)
What, do you have evidence to support that?

**Donald Trump** (1:29)
All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look. That's not evidence. And I listen to people, and let's see what happens. But sir, that's not evidence. Do you think it's appropriate? That's how they count the votes in California. You think it's appropriate that they have an election, and five days later, they're nowhere close to picking a winner?

**Kristen Welker** (1:45)
State and local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging.

**Donald Trump** (1:48)
No, they're crooked. They're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote in California. They're crooked, just like you're crooked. Your press is crooked. Meet the press is crooked. To be fair, I'm not crooked. But let's continue. Well, you play right into their hands. Let's continue. You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into their hands with this rep. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide and I got 94% bad press.

**Kristen Welker** (2:16)
But Mr. President, you've never presented evidence.

**Donald Trump** (2:18)
Because you have no credibility. But you've never presented evidence that it was rigged. Let's keep talking about, I want to talk about Todd. You have more evidence, there's more evidence than ever presented.

**Kristen Welker** (2:28)
Let's talk about...

**Donald Trump** (2:29)
Your elections in this country, we're like a third world country. Your elections are crooked and you're crooked and Meet the Press is crooked. And so is ABC and CBS and CNN.

**Kristen Welker** (2:41)
But Mr. President...

**Donald Trump** (2:41)
Your one-sided crooked network. Let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.

**Kristen Welker** (2:47)
Mr. President, let's please...

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:48)
Watch the mic.

**Kristen Welker** (2:49)
Stepped on the mic. I know.

**Donald Trump** (2:52)
I've traveled all the way to Wisconsin. On and off in the rain, and I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:03)
You traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview.

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:08)
There you go. And the interview's over. Okay? So now, when he's doing this, Tom, first of all, your reaction to this...
Because she says they're gonna do another interview again. It was a long interview. It's not like they only did a five-minute interview.
It was a good 40 minutes that they did the interview together, 35 minutes that they did the interview together. Tom, appropriate? Inappropriate? Was she not being honest? How do you process it?

**Tom** (3:29)
Well, you know, she's, you know, words talk number scream. She was made moderator. That's exactly the question I was asking myself this weekend, Pat.
I went and I looked. She was named moderator of Meet the Press in 2023, and in the middle demographic that everybody wants, 25 to 40, I mean, 25 to 40 or whatever it is, to 54 I think it's 25 to 54
