Eric Trump Opens Up About Charlie Kirk's Death and Family Under Siege
Eric Trump shares his grief over the loss of Charlie Kirk, describing him as a close friend who transformed youth politics in America. Eric reflects on meeting Charlie when he was just 21 years old with a vision for Turning Point USA, a vision that became reality. Drawing painful parallels to the assassination attempt on his father, Eric discusses the pattern of violence against conservative voices and introduces his new book 'Under Siege,' which details the relentless attacks his family has endured. He also opens up about his mother Ivana's influence, his relationship with Lara Trump, and the decision to never back down despite the dangers.
The Loss of Charlie Kirk
Eric Trump describes Charlie Kirk as an incredible friend who came into his office when he was just 21 or 22 years old with a bold vision for Turning Point USA. At the time, Eric remembers thinking it was ambitious for a young person to change the hearts and minds of youth on collegiate campuses where indoctrination was rampant. Charlie laid out exactly what he wanted Turning Point to become, and that vision became reality.
Charlie succeeded in winning the youth vote and changing how young people think across America. He made students realize they were being indoctrinated and lied to, and showed them they could have a voice on liberal campuses nationwide. Watching his friend lose his life was devastating, creating painful déjà vu to when Eric's father nearly lost his life 14 months earlier in a similar context.
A Family Under Siege
Eric's new book, released just two days before Charlie's death, is titled 'Under Siege' – a title that captures what the left has done to his family. The attacks began with impeachment attempts, followed by the Russia hoax, attacks on Supreme Court justices, and efforts to remove Donald Trump from state ballots. Then came the legal warfare: 112 subpoenas that Eric personally received, gag orders, weaponization of the justice system, indictments, the mugshot, and raids on their homes.
They removed Donald Trump from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram while leaving accounts for the Ayatollah, Boko Haram, and Al-Qaeda active. When none of these tactics worked, they attempted to assassinate him in Butler, Pennsylvania, and again two months later at a golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Eric points to other examples: attempts on Justice Kavanaugh's life, the shooting of Steve Scalise, and now Charlie Kirk speaking at a college campus filled with love, only to have his life taken.
The MAGA movement, Eric explains, is a movement of love – love of country, God, and the Constitution. It celebrates America's achievements, from putting an astronaut on the moon to leading technological innovation. It's about working hard, loving your kids, and valuing the family unit. Yet the radical left has tried everything to destroy it, to kill the movement by any means possible.
Refusing to Back Down
When asked if the family considers it's not worth the risk, Eric explains that's exactly what their opponents want. The Trump family didn't know anything about politics initially. They were builders of hotels, golf courses, and commercial buildings. They ran against Hillary Clinton, the greatest political dynasty in American history, who had five times the money they had and raised a billion and a half dollars while they funded most of their own campaign.
They didn't know what a delegate was, what a swing state was, or what a caucus was. Yet speaking from the heart with a powerful message – no BS, maybe a little politically incorrect – they stood on stages across the country. Eric stood on stages that looked just like the one Charlie was on thousands of times. The opposition wants them to hide in basements, to stop using their voices. That's how they silence people – through the siege they're laying.
Eric acknowledges they could all live more enjoyable lives if they cowered. His father could have stayed at Mar-a-Lago, their bank accounts would probably be larger, they'd have more properties worldwide, and Eric would have less gray in his beard at 41. But instead, they fight, and that's what got them to victory and what's saving America and the world.
Charlie Kirk's Irreplaceable Legacy
When asked if Charlie could have been president one day, Eric responds absolutely. Charlie had an amazing voice, but more than that, he built an organization and a grassroots movement. He connected deeply with people, working seven days a week, 24/7. Building Turning Point wasn't just about hopping on stages – it required fundraising, building an apparatus, communication, and organization.
Everywhere Eric went – building hotels, checking on golf properties, visiting commercial buildings, or at a friend's ranch in Texas – he saw Charlie Kirk. Charlie wore through shoes because of his enthusiasm. This wasn't a nine-to-five job for him; it was his calling, his love, what he thought about when he went to bed and when he woke up. That's nearly impossible to clone.
Charlie changed the direction of academia and youth politics in America in a major way. Eight years ago, kids were petrified to say they were Republican, conservative, that they believed in God, or that they loved their country. Many did believe these things but lied about it because it was socially unpopular. Charlie flipped the narrative, making it cool to buck the system, stand up to universities, be loud, and wear that red hat. That's now ingrained in their hearts, and no bullets can take that away.
Remembering Ivanka Trump
Eric talks extensively about his mother in the book. Ivana was a tough cookie – take someone like Lara Trump and have her grow up in a communist country with that grit and edge. She was the best athlete you've ever seen, a world-class skier, and an incredible model on the cover of Vogue and Esquire hundreds of times. She could smile and woo anyone with glamour, but could also tell off the toughest union construction boss in New York and have them cower to her.
She was sarcastic, funny, and put up with zero BS. She believed in old-school discipline. If Eric, Don, or Ivanka got out of line, she would discipline them physically. While Eric acknowledges that's not PC today, it worked for them. They grew up with manners, respectful of adults, with no drugs or drinking. Ivana had some demons and died far too early from substance abuse, but she was an amazing woman. Eric puts his heart and soul into writing about her in ways he never thought he would.
Raw Honesty in 'Under Siege'
The hardest part of writing was going into all the behind-the-scenes stories of what they did to his family. For every story reported, there were hundreds behind the scenes. Eric believes the New York Times will do everything they can to keep his book off their bestseller list because they don't want to hear these stories. They've done everything to silence the Trump family's voices.
Eric was raw in the book in ways the media won't expect. His BS factor in life has gone to zero after seeing what they've tried to do – destroy them, imprison them, kill his father, break up their marriages, raid their homes. They raided Mar-a-Lago, going through Melania's closets and Barron's drawers. They tried to frame his father more times than he can count.
Eric received calls about supposed secret servers in Trump Tower's basement connected to the Kremlin – servers that didn't exist. The FBI knew this but let the narrative continue for three years to hurt his father and destroy his administration. They beat every attack, including from Letitia James in New York who tried to take their properties and fine them over half a billion dollars. Eric shares raw stories about the weaponization of the left – their siege strategy of doing whatever it takes: deprive them of time and money, bankrupt them, slander them, break apart their family, imprison their friends and them, kill them. The media was complicit, with half the media winning Pulitzer Prizes for stories about the Russia hoax that never existed.
Lara Trump: A Powerhouse Partner
Eric describes Lara as a rock in every way. He met her early in her career when she was considering becoming a pastry chef at culinary school. She ended up going on TV as a producer for Inside Edition on CBS. When she came into politics, Donald Trump asked her to run the campaign in North Carolina because she was from that state, and they won North Carolina in 2016 against all odds.
She rose through the ranks to head the Republican National Committee, blowing the Democrats out of the water. Her career at Fox shows her success, with the number one weekend show, all while being a phenomenal mom. She juggles everything, literally coordinating kids' jiu-jitsu between planes. Lara doesn't need to be mean or nasty – she can dismantle people with a beautiful smile on her face, seconds after dropping her kids off at school.
Eric couldn't have anyone better by his side. She's in by far the best shape of anyone in the Trump family, with abs on her worst days. His Secret Service detail knows not to do cardio against Lara Trump – she makes Marine Corps veterans collapse while barely breaking a sweat. She's a great leader with an incredible voice who has created a grassroots movement of support and love. People adore Lara, and she's more patient and graceful than Eric, though he's not sure if that's good or bad. She played a huge part in their journey, and things could have turned out very differently without her.
Looking Forward
Eric hints at future plans, potentially breaking news about coming to Australia for a property development. When asked who would make a better president between him and Lara, Eric jokes that he has to say himself because he's a Trump and it's in his genetics. But he acknowledges Lara would be phenomenal with her powerful voice, leadership abilities, and the movement she's created. She's an amazing woman, wife, mom, and has an amazing career beloved by the family. The world works in weird ways, but Lara played a critical part in their journey, and Eric thanks God she was there.
Video Transcript
Welcome to another special episode of
the Eron Molen Show. I have an
incredible guest that I needed to bring
to you straight away given what's
happened in the world. His name is Eric
Trump, son of US President Donald Trump.
And in my eyes, I think the more
impressive title is husband of superstar
Lara Trump. Now, this has been a really
difficult time for their family with the
loss of Charlie Kirk, someone who was
incredibly close to them from a friend
perspective, but also someone who was a
huge part of Donald Trump's election
win, particularly when it came to the
youth in America. Now, Eric Trump has
just released a new book. It's called
Under Siege, and he is raw in it. Goes
into incredible detail. He says things
that he's never spoken about before. Uh
he says the media will try and and quash
the book. We know what they're like over
in America, but that won't matter
because this will be bigger than
anything they can do. I caught up with
him literally moments ago. So, I want to
bring that to you now. My sitdown with
Eric Trump. Um, Eric, thank you so much
again for your time, particularly given
the past week that you've had and and
that America has had.
>> It's great to be on.
>> Charlie Kirk, tell me how how you feel,
what he meant to you and your family and
what he meant to America.
>> Yeah, he's unbelievable friend. I met
him when he was probably 21 22 years
old. He came into my office and I'll
never forget he just started a couple of
the Turning Point chapters uh at a few
universities and he kind of laid out
this this big bold vision of what he
wanted Turning Point to be. Now that
vision that he laid out is exactly what
Turning Point is today. I mean he he
knew it. He knew how to get there. He
knew what he wanted to do. And I
remember at the time saying, "Crap,
that's a big ambitious, bold vision for
a young kid to change the hearts and
minds of effectively youth in America on
collegiate campuses where everybody's
getting brainwashed. It's no different
than Australia. It's no different than
anywhere else. They're getting
brainwashed. You're getting
indoctrinated. You have a bunch of
teachers who are, you know, kind of
preaching nonsense, uh, revisionist
history. And, you know, you're going to
change that all. One kid's going to go
in there and set up some chapters and
change it all." And he did. He changed
it all. I mean, he won the youth vote in
this country. He changed the way they
think. He made so many people in this
country realize how they were being
indoctrinated, how be they were being
lied to. Um, and how you could have a
voice on these uber liberal campuses all
across the country. And, um, to see a
good friend lose his life yesterday, to
see it on TV, it was obviously deja vu
to what we experienced 14 months ago,
you know, when my father almost lost his
life in a very similar context to to how
Charlie lost his life yesterday. And
it's it's truly unthinkable.
>> It's so hard to watch just as a human
being who didn't know Charlie. How did
it feel to watch as someone who almost
lost their dad in the exact same way you
just mentioned last year?
>> You know, it's what they do. It's it's
what this side does. You know, I came
out with a book two days ago not not
understanding kind of not obviously is
before what happened with Charlie and
it's called under siege and it's how the
left put our family under siege right
they started by trying to impeach him
then they did the Russia hoax then they
went after the Supreme Court justices
then they started taking my father off
of ballots all across you know states
all across the country radical judges
then they went after him using district
attorneys and attorney generals right
then it was a legal law fair it was 112
subpoena as that I received. It was the
gag orders, the the the weaponization,
the indictments of my father. It was the
mug shot. It was the raiding of his of
his homes. I could go on and on. Then
they threw him off of Twitter and they
threw him off of Facebook and they threw
him off of Instagram while the Ayatollah
and Boka Haram and and you know Al-Qaeda
and everybody else remained on Twitter.
They threw him off and Facebook threw
him off and Instagram threw him off.
They tried to take his voice. And then
when none of that worked, they tried to
kill him in Butler, Pennsylvania. And
thank God, you know, by the grace of
God, they missed. And then they tried to
kill him two months later at a golf
course that we have in, you know, West
Palm Beach, Florida, you know, and then
they tried to kill Kavanaaugh. And then
you saw what they did with, you know,
Steve Scalis in this country. And then
we're all watching our friends speak at
a beautiful college campus. And you have
so much love. And then they take his
life. And you know, under siege is the
perfect title. The the book I came out
with, under siege, it's the perfect
title because they've tried to lay siege
to our family. They've tried to lay
siege to my father. They've tried to lay
siege to my company. And they've tried
to lay siege to the entire MAGA movement
in this country. Make America great
again, which is a movement of love. It's
a movement of love of country, right?
Love of God, love of constitution. the
fact that we live in the greatest
economy in the world by far. That the
fact that we were the country that put
an astronaut on the moon. The fact that
we've led in pretty much every
technological innovation. It's about
working hard. It's about loving of kids
and and and and the the family unit. And
they've tried everything that they could
to stop that, to break it apart, to kill
that movement. They put that movement
under siege. And you know, it's a shame
it came out two days ago because this
would have just been another chapter in
that saga. What they did to a beautiful
young kid who was so respected, who had
such a powerful voice, who who was such
an influential part of of American
politics. You know, this is the siege.
Surround, try and destroy, try and kill
by any means possible. And that's what
the radical left in this country does.
Your wife was with him at a university
event, Lara. Recently, you've been on
stage with him. Does it get to the stage
where you have to say as a family, it's
not worth the risk?
>> No, because that's exactly what they
want. That's ex, you know, Erin, we were
a bunch of people. I didn't know damn
thing about politics, right? I mean, I'm
not a politician. I built hotels and
golf courses and the best commercial
buildings in in the world. By the way,
soon I'm going to come to Australia. I
promise you that. And we're going to
have an unbelievable drop property
there. So maybe I'm breaking I'm
breaking maybe I'm breaking news there.
But
>> you know we didn't know anything about
this and we had to run against what
Hillary Clinton the greatest political
dynasty in American
>> history between her and Bill. And you
know she had five times the amount of
money that we had. We were we were
funding it out of our own back pockets
as as a family, right? We didn't know
what a delegate was. We didn't know what
a swing state was. We didn't know what a
caucus was.
And we knocked her off of her her high
preach when she had big pharma money and
she had the the the the pension funds
and she had everything. I mean she
literally five to one she raised a
billion and a half dollars. You know we
funded most of our own campaign and
somehow speaking from the heart as a
family with a powerful message. No BS,
no nonsense, maybe a little bit
politically incorrect. We stood on every
stage in the country. I stood on the
stage that looked just like the one that
Charlie was on yesterday 1,000 times.
And this what they realize. They realize
that, you know, they take a shot at my
father and they trying to shoot him
again. And they think that they can, you
know, erase the the the the meaningful
voices in our movement. This is what
they want. They want us to do what Joe
Biden did, which is hide in a basement.
They don't want us to be on that stage.
They don't want us to be in those
crowds. They don't want us to be using
the voice that I'm using right now,
right? This is how they silence us. This
is this is the siege that they're laying
back to that that term that fits so
perfectly today. And the problem is,
hey, maybe is it is it safer to cower?
Sure, we could all go hide in our
basement. We could all disappear. We'd
actually probably live much more
enjoyable lives. Believe me, my father,
if he just camped out of Mara Lago and
lived a beautiful life, he would have
been put through 1/ 1,000th of the hell
that he's been put through. Guess what?
our bank accounts would have probably
been larger. We would have had more
properties around the world, you know, I
probably would have had a lot less gray
in my beard for being a 41-year-old man,
right? But but instead, we go out there
and we fight like hell and that's what
got us to victory. And frankly, that's
what's saving the United States of
America and the world. You you watch the
indoctrination everywhere. Look what's
happening to Europe. Look what's
happened to so much of of Australia in
terms of how it's attacked the the left.
And now you have countries all over the
world who are looking at the United
States of America saying they're back.
They're back. And by the way, that
strength is good for the entire world.
That strength is good for peace. It's
good for prosperity. You know, it's good
for the entire world because when when
America gets sick, the entire world gets
the flu. And everybody knows that and
everybody realizes it. And American
leadership for the last, you know,
century is the only thing that's
actually held so much of this planet
together. and they're seeing America and
they're seeing seeing us thrive. They're
seeing the amount of money that we're
bringing in. They're seeing our capital
markets. They're seeing taxation.
They're seeing, you know, inflation
which is out of control go down. They're
seeing our energy prices drop faster
than ever before. And people are
envious. And honestly, it's changing the
whole pendulum of the entire world. And
that's a beautiful thing. And so, you
know, I I hope us leading by example
with strong voices really helps lead the
rest of the globe in a in a positive way
for for not only many countries, but but
but so much of humanity. And I I think
that's happening. But that will not
happen if we step off that stage and
cower to these these radical left
lunatics. And we won't allow it to
happen.
>> I said that yesterday. This is not a
moment to cower. This is a moment to get
louder. But that is harder for people
like you who are actually in the firing
line. I want to ask you one final
question about Charlie. When you
mentioned him coming into your office as
a young man, a kid basically telling you
what he wanted to do, he then did almost
exactly that. It reminds me of someone,
your dad, and people would have thought
he was crazy when he said he wanted to
be president. People would have thought
he was crazy when he said, "When I win
this for the second time or the third
time, however you look at it, I'm going
to do this, this, and this." He's done
it all. Could Charlie Kirk have been
president one day? Did he have those
ambitions? Does he remind you of your
dad?
>> Absolutely. He could have been
president. I mean, the guy had an
amazing voice. You know, this is a guy,
right? Somebody asked me a question, you
know, who could take over Turning Point.
And I kind of shook my head. You know,
there's a lot of people who are, you
know, who who who articulate, who are
smart, um, who know the issues, who have
good voices. Okay, that's that's one
part of it. This is a guy who built an
organization. This is a guy who built a
movement. He built a grassroots
movement. He connected so deeply with so
many people, hence the outcry all over
the country, you know, and the level of
support that you have for him. But this
is a guy who worked, you know, seven
days a week, 24/7, right? I mean, you
don't just hop up on those stages and
and start, right? You need to fundraise
and you need to have an apparatus and
you need to be able to communicate and
you need to organize, right? I mean,
Turning Point became a massive massive
apparatus. And you know, no matter where
I went, Eron, I'd be building a hotel
somewhere. I'd be checking in on one of
our golf properties. I'd be at one of
our commercial buildings. I'd be in
Texas, you know, doing something at a
buddy's ranch. Everywhere I went, and
it's not just because Charlie and I were
friends, but everywhere I went, I saw
Charlie Kirk. He wore through shoes.
That's how that's how amazing his
enthusiasm was. This wasn't a
nineto-five job for him. I mean, this
was his job. It was his career. It was
his calling. It was his hobby. It was
his love. It's what he did. is what he
thought about when he went to bed at
night and what he thought about when he
woke up in the morning. And that's
awfully hard to clone. I mean, it's one
thing to clone a personality, and that's
very impossible to do as well. You
probably see that from my father. But
it's really impossible to clone a
grassroots movement. And when I'm
telling you, he changed the direction of
of of of academia and and youth politics
in the United States of America in a
major way.
You go back eight years, you had you had
kids who were petrified. Kids who were
petrified to say that they were a
Republican, that they were conservative,
that they believed in God,
>> you know, that they loved the country.
In fact, so many of them did, but they
would lie about it because it was so
socially unpopular. and he actually
flipped the whole narrative to it's cool
and I'm going to buck the system and I'm
going to buck this university and I'm
going to stand up and I'm going to be
loud and I'm going to wear that red hat
that everybody loves so much and uh and
we're going to make a difference and
that's ingrained in their hearts now and
there's no bullets that can take that
away. Killing Charlie Kirk does not take
away the movement that he helped create.
killing my father when they try to
savagely attack him does not change what
the Make America Great Again movement
is. In fact, as I keep saying, it only
cements it. It only further solidifies
that very movement. And I think the
movement as as tragic as it as it is is
stronger today because everybody
realizes that the radical left is
dangerous. They're intolerant and
frankly they'll stop at nothing.
They say in some cultures that people
die twice. Once when they take their
final breath and the second time when
you stop saying their name. I'd like to
ask you about your mom if that's okay
because you talk so much about your dad
for obvious reason. This is a book not
just about your experience but about you
as a person.
What parts of you are solely because of
her and the way she loved you?
>> Now I talked a lot about my mom in the
book. She was a uh Eric she was a tough
cookie. I mean, you know, my wife,
you've got to know Laura very well. I
mean, Laura's as But you know, take
Laura and have her grow up in a
communist country, right? With that grit
and edge. I mean, she was the best
athlete you've ever seen, world class
skier, you know, unbelievable model. I
mean, on the cover of every Vogue, every
esquire hundreds of times. Um, you know,
she could smile and and she could woo
anybody with glamour. At the same time,
she could go tell you to go f yourself,
you know, to the to the toughest union
boss construction guy in New York and
they would cower to her, right? I mean,
you know, she was sarcastic, she was
funny. Um, she put up with zero BS. I
mean, zero zero BS. Like, you know, I
it's she believed in old school
discipline. If if I got out of line or
Don or Ivanka got out of line, she would
smack the crap out of us. And and by the
way, you know, I know that's that's UNPC
today in in in all of our cultures and
and you know, those times have have come
and gone, but for whatever it's worked,
it worked. I mean, we grew up with
manners. We grew up with respective
adults, no drugs, no drinking, no, you
know, I mean, it it it worked for us.
And uh, you know, she had some demons.
She died of um, you know, far too early
of of of some substance abuse. And but
she was a uh she was an amazing woman
and I go into her a lot in the book and
um you know it's pretty powerful stuff.
I put my heart and soul into it in a way
that I never I never thought I would you
know and uh it was a uh it was a special
process.
>> What was the hardest part to be really
honest and vulnerable about when you
were when you were writing? What what
did you break down doing or were there
moments where you just felt sick? Yeah,
you know, I went into all the stories
behind the scenes of what they did to
our family. You know, it's it's for
everything that you reported on. For
every one story you reported on, there
were hundred behind the scenes. And you
know, I I can tell you over here in the
US, you have something called the New
York Times bestseller list. You know,
you probably have a version over there.
And um you know, they're going to do
everything they can to keep this book
off of New York Times number one's
bestseller because they they do not want
to hear, you know, they've done
everything they can to silence our So, I
was just raw. You know, I was raw in
ways that the media probably won't
expect me to be. I I think my BS factor
in life has has gone to zero. You know,
you start seeing what they try to do to
destroy you, to imprison you, to kill
your father, uh to break up your
marriages, to raid your homes. I mean,
they raided Mara Lago, which is our our,
you know, they went through Melania's
closets and Baron's drawers. And, you
know, they tried to frame my father more
times you can count. I was the guy
getting a call saying, "Hey, I hear you
have secret servers in the basement of
Trump Tower that are connected directly
with the Kremlin in Russia." You know,
it's like we didn't have servers in our
basement. We didn't have, you know, and
the FBI knew this and and they let this
narrative go on for three years to to
hurt my father and and try and destroy
his administration, you know, and we
beat these guys. We beat them every
single time I finished. We beat Leticia
James in New York who tried to take away
our properties, tried to find us well
over a half a billion dollars and take
our name off of all our properties and
and we beat them. And and honestly, I go
through some very raw stories about
just, you know, kind of the
weaponization of the left. Again, that
was their siege. It's do whatever it
takes, right? Deprive them of time,
deprive them of money, bankrupt them,
slander them, break apart their family,
imprison their friends, imprison them,
kill them. Right. This is the game and
honestly the media doesn't want that
story to be told because the media
frankly was complicit in it of it.
>> I mean Aaron half the media in this
country was getting Puliter prizes for
writing stories about the Russia hoax
which never existed which was lies and
fabrication. And so you know I think New
York Times is going to do everything
they can to keep me off that list. At
the same time it is flying on on Amazon
and on I I mean it's it's it's been a
lot of fun to see. It is absolutely
soaring and um I'm shaking it up because
you know what? I'm beyond the point of
of of caring. Like what you're hearing
from my heart right now is just dead
honesty. And honesty is the only way
that you fix the problems. And you know,
it's the only way that you expose the
corruption and the nonsense and the
games and the viteral hatred. And by the
way, a lot of people in Australia need
to start doing the exact same thing
because you you you deal with a lot of
the same societal issues that we do. in
often cases sometimes a lot worse to
tell you the truth.
>> Tell me about your relationship with
your wife. And that sounds like a very
personal question, but but I'm not I
don't need, you know, details, but I'd
love to know how that has evolved
because she over the past few years has
just become an absolute powerhouse. And
I think for me, what strikes me, you
mentioned her similarities to your
mother and she is strong. She doesn't
take BS. She is terrifying because she
she just knows her worth and she knows
what matters, but she's also the
kindest. I mean, she she never needed to
help me in any way. She owed me nothing.
I was a nobody to her. And even with
Salem, signing with Salem, that was
because of her. She connected me to the
people uh coming to your place and doing
an interview as an Aussie TV host that
that wouldn't have even been on your
radar. How is someone so incredibly
tough and strong but so kind but such a
great mother I'm assuming an incredible
wife like talk to me about how she's
evolved in your eyes.
>> Yeah, she comes in the book a lot
actually. I mean Laura's a rock. I mean
she's been a rock in every way and it's
funny. I I met her she was early in her
career. She was thinking about doing you
know the pastry chef thing. She was at
culinary school and she always had a a
great, you know, and she ended up doing
that and she ended up going on TV. She
was on um she was on on CBS. She was
producer for Inside Edition and uh all
of a sudden she came into politics and
my father asked her because she was from
the great state of North Carolina to run
the campaign in North Carolina and we
won North Carolina in 2016 and against
all odds and you know she rose the ranks
she ended up taking over the head of the
the Republican National Party in in the
United States of America and you know
blew the Democrats out of the water and
and just honestly and then you see her
career at Fox right now. I mean, she has
number one show over here on the
weekends. And you know, all of that she
she juggles while being a phenomenal
mom. I mean, literally two minutes ago,
she's trying to hop between planes. You
know, honey, are you taking your kid?
Are we taking the kids to jiu-jitsu? I'm
so sorry I can't be there today. And and
literally, I mean, she's just she's a
rockar in every way. And by the way, she
freaking adores you. I I mean, she would
and I remember when she was on your show
every, you know, every week. And and I
go, "Honey, in all fairness,
>> I discovered I discovered it. H how many
voters do we really have in Australia?
Like, you know, we're in the middle of a
presidential campaign like like you
might want to focus on Pennsylvania, not
Australia. And
yeah, I was totally trying to sabotage
you, by the way. And then and then I I
met you for the first time, but for the
longest time, it's I got to go on air.
I'm going to go on uh on TV in
Australia. But she freaking adores you
and uh and it's just it's been it's been
fun to watch. But it's been a lot of fun
to see her get this independent voice
where she doesn't need to be mean. She
doesn't need to be nasty. She can do it
with a smile on her face and such grace.
You know, I think it's hard for a lot of
people, including me, to do that, right?
I mean, there's a certain point where
you just get angry, you get frustrated,
you get annoyed, right? And, you know,
you're speaking from your heart, but I
saw her just dismantle people and she
could do it with this beautiful smile on
her face. You know, while uh, you know,
about 4 seconds after dropping her kids
off at school, she's a remarkable wife,
a remarkable mom. She does everything
well. She is a power woman to the nth
degree and um couldn't have anybody
better by my side. She's uh she's the
greatest. The absolute greatest. And by
the way, she's in by far the best shape
of anybody in the Trump family. I mean,
she's got a
>> you know,
>> you know, on her worst days, she's got a
six-pack. On her best days, it's a
12-pack. And uh you know, and and you do
not want to do the My Secret Service
guys know very well, you do not want to
do cardio against Laura Trump. Do not do
not do not go run hills with Laura Trump
because you know you know she she she
literally kills guys who came out of the
Marine Corps about 3 days ago and uh you
know it makes them collapse and she's
sitting there bopping like she never
even you know broke a sweat. It's uh you
that's the worst way to finish this. I
was walking with my daughter yesterday
and this guy was walking his dog and my
daughter tells him a that I have a chin
hair and b that I'm sucking my stomach
in which I was cuz I don't have abs. So
that's really that's even more
depressing. Final quick question. Who
would make a better president? You or
her?
>> Oh god. Well, I have to say me. I mean,
I'm a Trump. Like you I mean, come on.
You know my genetics. If I if I was
wired to say somebody else, like I think
I I think we would all right. It's uh
>> we'd have to do a genetic test.
>> She would she she would be phenomenal.
She's a great leader. She's a great
incredible woman. She could do it, too.
I mean, you want to talk about powerful
voice and and and and somebody who's
created a a true grassroots movement of
support and love. People People adore
Laura. She would do a great job. Um, you
know, she's she's certainly more patient
than I am, which is either a good thing
or a really bad thing. I'm not sure.
She's she's certainly more graceful and
um but uh amazing amazing woman, uh
amazing wife, amazing mom, amazing
career, um beloved by our family, and um
you don't know. It's It's weird how the
world works out, but uh she played a a
damn big part of this whole journey that
we've been on, and thank God she was
there because it could have turned out
very differently.
>> Bless you. Bless your whole family.
Thank you so very much for giving me
time, and I'm so glad Lara didn't
discourage you from doing this like you
tried to discourage her from doing my
show.
>> Thank you so so much for joining us here
on the Aaron Mullen Show. Another
special episode. We'll be back at our
regular time, 6:00 a.m. ET, uh, 8:00
p.m. in Australia, wherever else around
the world. Uh, you can figure that out
yourself. Thank you so much for your
support. It means so, so much. Uh, we
love you guys very, very much. Thank
you, and I'll see you Monday.
