I'll now hand you over to my best man, Eddie.

0:04.8

Wow, wow, wow. Second time's a charm, eh, Billy Boy?

0:09.3

Oh, God.

Substitution, courtesy of Paddy Power, embarrassing Eddie, makes way for sensible Samuel.

0:15.0

Cool, that was close.

0:16.2

You might not always pick the right starter, but your sub can still deliver.

0:19.2

Because with Paddy's super sub, your bet rolls over to the player coming on. Panny power. Valid on selected leagues and markets only. Prematch and in-play bets on qualifying player outcome selections only. T's and Cs and Clusions apply. 18 plus scummelware. Dot lawmakers being targeted in their homes. We've been targets of this nonsense for a long time, and I can't tell you how many times I've opened up white paper that's blown up in my face in my kitchen. Listen, there's whack jobs out there and it can't happen on either side. Don't underestimate the man. There's a lot of people in this world who have lost a lot of money underestimating Donald Trump and they've done it too many times and they're always wrong. Never fully trust anyone.

0:55.9

And he always beat that into us. You know, I thought it was okay, your parade. It was all right. As the first one, it was okay. But it wasn't. Pierce, no disrespect to the British. We beat the pants off of you back in the day. I was going to say that when he comes to Popperman Bagging tree, Eric, nobody does it better than us. Has what's happened to him made you more or less interested in running for president yourself?

1:14.5

Now I feel like I can see everything coming three years before it comes.

1:18.3

I know their games. I know their playbooks.

1:20.6

To pretend that these are just day labors at farms is just inaccurate here.

1:24.9

They're fully going forth on farms and hospitality. Ice lawn hosven are not going to be deterred. I think that was the main goal of these riots. We're going to keep going. We're not going to be deterred here. Well, 10 years ago, a real estate mogul and reality TV star rode down a golden escalator and gave a big thumbs up to the world's media. Whether you love him or loathe him, you can't deny that nothing's been quite the same

1:48.9

again. My next guest is certainly in the love him camp, or I assume he is. Eric Trump is executive

1:54.1

vice president of the Trump organization and one of the president's sons. Eric, great to have you.

1:59.4

It's your uncensored debut. Yeah, well, Pierce, I very much do love him. He's an amazing man. He came down that escalator 10 years ago today, and he changed American history. He certainly changed world history, right? And America was having real problems, and I think a lot of those problems have been solved,

2:17.6

and I think our country is on the right track. And, you know, I think there's a lot of love in the

2:20.9

political spheres. And in this country and around the world for my father, and he was a hell of a brave guy as he did it. You watch what they tried to do to him. You've been a friend of his for a very long time. you've been a friend to our family for a very long time, but you saw what they tried to do to him, Pearson.

2:34.5

You know, they tried to take him out. They tried to bankrupt our company. They tried to literally kill him, all right? And you mentioned in the last segment with the crazy gunman at the golf course and obviously what they did at Butler, Pennsylvania. They tried to impeach him twice. They, you know, they weaponized all aspects of, of, you know, kind of deep blue states here in America to go after him criminally for doing absolutely nothing wrong. And they tried to take him off the ballot. They, you know, restricted his free speech. And, um, I mean, I can go on and on. I mean, right, they rated his homes and, and everything else. But, uh, the guy is incredibly courageous and it's hard to believe it's been 10 years. And what a journey it's been for not only my father, but obviously the entire family, especially those who've kind of stood on the stage every second of every day with him and fought by his side. You know, it's interesting you mentioned him coming down on the escalator because I remember that vivid. I read a column for the Daily Mail that day because so many people were kind of mocking your father and suggesting he didn't have a

prayer. This was ridiculous. It was a PR stunt making a mockery of politics and so on. And I read a column.

3:36.2

I reread it the other day and I said, you know, Donald Trump has a habit of proving people wrong

3:41.6

and having the last laugh. And I've got a funny feeling we might be seeing another example of this
