but let's move on now to the browser tabthat america refuses to close-- donald trump. he won the oregon primarylast night, but that wasn't the only contest that people werepaying attention to. man: trump. kelly.the interview we've waited for. donald trump's long-awaitedinterview with megyn kelly. reporter: fox news anchor sitting with donald trump.
-it's a blockbuster.-hotly anticipated. face-to-face interview with thebillionaire candidate himself. whatever your plans arefor this evening, you should probably cancel them. that's right! even if you're driving yourpregnant wife to the hospital. cancel that (bleep). just like, "unless you'regiving birth to an hdtv, we're watching that interview."
cancel your plans?what a strong... what if my plan was to watch the interview? thenwhat do i do now, shep smith? what do i do now?what do i do now? seriously, the hype for thisevent was out of control. you know, it's... it was like ifapple revealed the new iphone in the middleof a new beyoncã© song in the middleof the new star wars sequel. it was... it was so hyped up. and until last night, trump hadbeen boycotting kelly's show,
despite it being the second-highest rated cable news show. and he had good reasons. you've call womenyou don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobsand disgusting animals. your twitter account has severaldisparaging comments about women's looks. you once told a contestanton celebrity apprentice it would be a pretty pictureto see her on her knees. does that sound to youlike the temperament of a man
we should elect as president? yeah, wow. that doesn't even sound likethe temperament of a man we should elect as assistantmanager at chili's. he looks pretty good in thatoutfit, you got to admit. -you got to admit.-(cheering, applause) and that debate... that debatewas just the jumping-off point for a feud that's beengoing on for months now. i don't have a lot of respect for megyn kelly.
she's not very tough and she's not very sharp. she's zippo. i certainly will not apologizefor doing good journalism. i have no respect for her. i don't think she's very good. we the press are the counter-punchers. we-we are paid to hold the presidentialcandidates to account. megyn kelly is a lightweight. we're really the only thingthat stands between them and the oval office, sowe have to ask tough questions. wow, this isn't trump-kelly,this is mayweather...
mayweather-pacquiao, you know?yeah. well, except for the fact that there's no way they makeboxing gloves small enough for donald trump's tiny hands.that would be the only thing. poke you in the eye.ow! ow, my eye. my eye. so, the world was ready. the world was ready formegyn kelly to face the beast with her hard-heard...hard-hitting journalism and unrelenting pursuitsof accountability, and last nighton prime-time network tv,
the fight was on. (bell dings) let's begin. thank youfor sitting down with me. there had to be a moment onstage at a campaign rally or one night after a winwhere it occurred to you, "i could actuallybe the president." when was that? were you ever bullied? has anyone ever hurt youemotionally?
-i want to talk for a minuteabout the tweeting. -okay. set the scene for me.you pick up your iphone -and actually tweet yourself?-yes. usually after 7:00 or 8:00, i'll do it my myself. what? what is this? what the hell was it? like,this was sold as a bloodbath, but in the end it just turnedout to be one of those couples' baththat only exists in, like,
the cialis commercials.what... what is that? what are those questions? what... okay, but you-but youknow what, but you know what, i'm sure megyn kellyknows what she's doing. you see, unlike cialis,she's softening trump up. and then, and then, just when hedrops his guard-- boom! the comment about john mccain-- you prefer peoplewho weren't captured.
um, the comment aboutcarly fiorina's face. but do you regret anyof those comments? uh, yeah, i guess so.but you have to go forward. you make a mistake,you go forward, and you... you know,you can correct a mistake, but to look back and say,"gee whiz, i wish i didn't do thisor that," i don't think that's good.i don't even think... in a certain way, i don'teven think that's healthy.
i want to talka little bit about your family. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!what... wait, what just happened there? the guy who wants to controlthe most powerful military in the world just saidhe doesn't think it's healthy to reflect on mistakes. and there'sno follow-up question? you just move on? th-that's likeif the-the producers of the jinx
heard robert durst say,"i killed them all," and they were just like,"great, so, uh, what was it like growing up in scarsdale?" that's not the question. you know, l-last night'sinterview didn't seem to be about journalismor the republican party or even the election. it seemedlike it was about two brands, donald trump and megyn kelly,
and whether they could forge amutually beneficial partnership. you know, just like chipotleteams up with bacteria to help you lose weight. or, or maybe... or maybeit was just couples therapy. and this moment especiallysummed up the entire interview. when you and i were havingour little difficulty, um, you probably had some prettynasty tweets sent your way. but you retweet some of those.it's not just the fans. yeah,but not the more nasty ones.
you would be amazedat the ones i don't retweet. -bimbo?-uh... well, there was a retweet.yeah. did i say that? -many times.-ooh. okay. excuse me.(chuckles) (chuckling) "did i do that?" "excuse me"? that's-that's all your answeris?
we're talking about misogyny,not a fart. and, megyn kelly,i don't get it. you spent months lambastingtrump for his sexist comments, and nowyou're just laughing it off. i-i can't believe this, but megyn kelly just got neggedby donald trump. he repeatedly insulted herand then all of a sudden switched it up with a littlecharm, and, just like that, she's all smiles.and, you know what,
i don't blame megyn kellyfor that. that's just the power of trump. in fact, that technique evenworked on our own desi lydic when she interviewed trump. mr. trump, i'm just gonnacome out and say it, you're bad for women. you objectify us,you call us fat pigs. on twitter,you blamed hillary clinton for her husband's infidelity.
uh, well, there was a retweet.yeah. did i say that? yes. you even saidpeople shouldn't vote for carly fiorinabecause her face is ugly. ooh. okay. excuse me.(chuckles) he's so damn charming! so charming! that's why we sent roy wood jr. to set trump straight.
look, trump,enough of your (bleep). running around talkingabout "the blacks," people getting punchedat your rallies, and on twitter you out heresupporting the goddamn kkk. y-yeah, you said that, man. who else am i talking about? you think i'm talkingabout the cameraman over here? you're just running your mouth,running your mouth. you better apologize.
oh, man! you still my boy, man. all day like o.j. give me some dap. he got roy, too!he got roy, too. so we sent in ronnie chieng. hey, man, why you keep talkingall this (bleep) about immigrants? i want to (bleep) you so hardright now. you know what,you know what, i get it.
i get it. i know that trump may bea torture-supporting, muslim-disparaging horsemanof the apocalypse, but, don't forget,when he's president and it's all going to (bleep), we'll all get to lookat that smile.
