• 0:01
  Speaker 1: you watch the Trump interview with THEO Vaughn. Well, let's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: ask our American mamas. Alma Mama, she said in joining
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: us now are American mama's tern Needeville and Kimberly Burleson. Uh, so,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you guys did watch the interview with THEO Vaughn and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Had you heard of THEO Vaughn before this interview?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Oh? Yes, he is. Have you not?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: No, No, I have. I just I think a lot
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of people haven't. I think this is probably the biggest
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: thing that he has done. I think there are a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: lot of people that haven't necessarily heard of Theovon before this.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Well, for those who do not know who THEO von
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and that's p H E O and then v O
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: in if you want to look him up. He's a comedian.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: He's a h He actually just bursted onto the scene
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a few years ago and now he's got this incredible
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: podcast and he recently interviewed President Donald J. Trump and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: it was so good. Now I'll start can't believe you
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: jump in whenever. But one of the things that I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: noticed that I loved, first of all, it was an
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: interview where you didn't have the journalists trying to get him,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: like all those gotcha questions that were so used to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: them doing to him, putting him on the defense, that
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: wasn't there. THEO was asking personal questions, political questions, questions
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: we all have and we would love to know the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: answer to. And it did not feel like that there
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: was idiot like. You didn't feel like that he was
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: trying to get people to vote for Trump. He genuinely
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: seemed like he wanted to get to know the man.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: So some of the things that he talked about that
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I was so fascinated by was he asked him why
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: he never drank and smoked, because THEO is a recovering
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: alcoholic drug addict. And Trump started talking about his older brother,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and he started talking about how we can learn from
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: those who tell us because of their you know, how
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: you go through this journey called life and you make
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a mistake, Well, you spend the rest of that time
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: telling your children and people you love not to do
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: those things that you did. Well, that was his brother,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and his brother died, of course, And he went on
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to talk about, you know, he was asking him deep
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: questions about his family, how he felt, how he feels
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: about the media, how he feels about Kamala Harrison, what happened.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And I just really encourage anybody and everybody if you
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: want to listen to a good, heartfelt interview, go to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Bond's interview with Trump, and it's really worth your time.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You Know.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: What was kind of interesting to me and listening to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: it is he's just a regular guy and he's trying
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to understand things, and it's as if we were talking
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to Donald Trump. And one thing that was really something
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: that mattered to him was our healthcare system because he
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: doesn't understand how it's made the way that it is.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: THEO and so he's asking Trump, He's like, why is
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: it like this? I don't understand. Is it lobbyists? Is
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it Chuck Schumer? And Trump is trying to explain to
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: him that it is lobbyists and politicians and they're making
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of money off this. And then THEO says,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: but why do they want people to suffer? And when
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: he said that to me, it resonated because I thought
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: that's how we all we don't understand where the lack
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: of compassion for their fellow American citizens. Is it doesn't exist,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and Trump basically says, it's greed, it's money. It's money
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: for them. They no longer care about the American people.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: They care about themselves. And Theo's is this regular guy
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: wondering why trying to understand well, and you talk about compassion,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you could tell. And when Trump suddenly turned the tables
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: on THEO Vaughn with asking him about his own addiction
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and recovery, he wanted to know what was harder? Was it?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Is it harder to stay away from the alcohol or
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the cocaine? And what did it feel like? And what
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: did it make you do? And how are you now?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: It was you got to see the human side of
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Trump that we've all heard about that the mainstream media
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: will not report. Well. One thing I thought was interesting.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I watched a few podcasts of THEO after his interview
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: where other podcasters are asking him questions, and one of
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the things he shares, kind of like a funny thing,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: was that Trump said, I bet your parents are so
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: proud of you THEO, and THEO says, my parents have
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: been gone for years. So Trump says, well, I bet
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: they are proud of you before they died, And so
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: THEO is saying it as if you know, that's a
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: funny thing about Trump, But I thought I was struck
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: with Trump comes into these conversations with a fresh set
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: of eyes. He doesn't have a plan, he doesn't have
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a motive, he doesn't research their background. He literally just
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: comes in willing to have a conversation.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: So THEO can kind of joke about that, but it's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, Trump had the conversation with them. He doesn't
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: know his past, he doesn't. It's just a conversation. And
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: that seems to be the common thread with Trump and
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: all of these interviews. No motive, just a conversation, breast
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and fresh air.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that I think that's a great point, Kimberly,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: because he doesn't go into a conversation trying to pander
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to that audience.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Well, say back to that from the other side.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: So you guys, uh, we got about fifteen seconds left.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Is this your favorite interview you've ever seen with Donald Trump?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: No, not my favorite. Somebody's just a really real one,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: just a really very genuine You get to see the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: man and he's not on you know when when they
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: you know, for the first time, it was an interview
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: like the view would do with Michuelle and Barock where
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: they say what's an average date nightlight? Instead of when
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: McCain would get on there. And you know what I mean,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: it's just a finally somebody treated him with respect and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: asked really interesting questions.
• 6:05
