This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hour to Sean Kennedy Show, 800941, Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.

We have for the full hour, and I promise you're going to find it fascinating.

Eric Trump is going to join us in a minute.

He wrote a new book, Under Siege, My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation.

And when I started reading this book in my own way, I felt like I had lived a parallel

life with Eric in the sense that I was an early supporter of President Trump.

And I got abused by a lot of prominent conservatives.

I think, well, how many years did Glenn Beck and I don't know, who else was out there

pounding Ben Shapiro, you know, pounding me every day that I'm not a real conservative,

et cetera, et cetera.

And meanwhile, we have the most transformational and consequential president in our lifetime and

it didn't ever bother me because I knew in my heart I was right I had known Donald Trump for

for decades of my life and we had many conversations before he ever decided to run anyway it's an

honor to have back to the program, Eric Trump.

This book is phenomenal.

I felt like I was like I was reading.

I was living a parallel life with you in a lot of ways because I covered all this.

Like on Russia the Russia hoax, I think I spent four straight years on radio and TV with an ensemble cast.

We got every aspect of that right. The rest of the media got it wrong and they got pulled surprises. Sean, there's no question you did. And listen, I have to give you credit. I'm not sure if I've ever told this story either to you and you'll be the only person who actually remembers this. But I heard this from two people back in the day. I heard it from my father who, you know, when he told this he was running for president, he goes, they're going to come after us in ways you can't even imagine. And you and I have been friends for a very long time, and I remember you pulling me aside and you go, Eric, you watch

what they try and do to your family. You know, I would get a lawyer involved in everything in your

life. I wouldn't, you know, I would just scrub every aspect of your life, not that we had to because we were always good kids, but they are going to come after you in ways that you couldn't even possibly anticipate. And, Sean, you warned me of this. I'm never sure if you remember this conversation, but a decade ago, you warned me of what the deep state was going to do to us, and they did exactly everything that you had predicted and everything that my father predicted at the time. I mean, they wanted to see us destroy. They wanted to see us gone. And, you know, the irony is it didn't really start, you know, in 2016. I mean, you had a, you had a nasty media at that point, but, you know, they were so pompous and so arrogant, they didn't think that this kind of rag-tag group of people could beat Hillary Clinton. You know, I mean, you remember in New York Times the morning of, of the election, had a, they gave us a 2.1% chance of beating Hillary Clinton that morning, and yet we steamrolled her. Like, we wasn't even, it wasn't even close in terms of, you know, the overall, you know, electoral college and they count, you know, at the end of the night, and yet we had a 2% chance going in. they were so pompous that they didn't think we we could win and as soon as we did
