Could the Manhattan magnet be eyeing the White House, or is he just calling a bluff? Are you a Republican, Donald?

I'm a Republican, yes. So if there were politics,

it would be as a Republican. It would be, I guess, as a Republican, but I don't see that there will be politics. Why the ad, then? I mean, you said you wanted to say it. There's a lot of ways you can say things. I guess an ad is one way. You could have called up shows like this who would have been trying to have you come on. Why now?

Well, it was very easy. I was tired, and I think a lot of people are tired of watching other countries ripping off the United States. This is a great country. They laugh at us. Behind our

backs, they laugh at us because of our own stupidity and the leaders. I mean, what we have,

we have a Persian Gulf situation. You saw what happened today.

Billions and billions of dollars are being spent when getting oil for Japan, and they're

Why is it that we're protecting? We have frogmen. We have helicopters. We have aircraft carriers and all sorts of ships all over the Persian Gulf. So that this man and his little group can make a lot of money. I think it's ridiculous.

Well, one of the reasons we say we're doing it is because we've been doing it, that

all previous presidents have endorsed doing it. I guess the kind of thinking of an entrepreneur

is because somebody else said it was right, doesn't make it right, right?

Larry, the country is losing $200 billion a year.

$200 billion.

This country cannot continue to lose $200 billion.

Japan is one of the wealthiest machines ever created.

Saudi Arabia, and it's not, hey, let me tell you, I'm a big beneficiary of Japan.
