00:00Honestly, I think you should let me run the country, you run CNN, and if you did it well,
00:05your ratings would be much better.
00:06If I may ask one other question, Mr. President, if I may ask one other question, are you worried
00:10about-
00:11That's enough.
00:12That's enough.
00:13That's enough.
00:14That's enough.
00:15That's enough.
00:16Pardon me, ma'am, I'm-
00:17Excuse me.
00:18Mr. President, on the Russia investigation, are you concerned that you may have-
00:26I'm not concerned about anything with the Russian investigation because it's a hoax.
00:31That's enough.
00:32Put down the mic.
00:33Mr. President, are you worried about indictments coming down in this investigation?
00:38Mr. President.
00:39I'll tell you what, CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them.
00:44You are a rude, terrible person.
00:46You shouldn't be working for CNN.
00:48Go ahead.
00:50I think that's unfair.
00:51You're a very rude person.
00:52The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible, and the way you treat other people are horrible.
00:57You shouldn't treat people that way.
00:59Go ahead.
01:00Go ahead.
01:01Peter, go ahead.
01:02In Jim's defense, I've traveled with him and watched him.
01:03He's a diligent reporter who busts his butt like the rest of us.
01:04Well, I'm not a big fan of yours either, so-
01:05I understand.
01:06To be honest.
01:07So let me ask you a question if I can.
01:09You repeatedly say-
01:10You are the best.
01:11When you report fake news, no, when you report fake news, which CNN does a lot, you are the
01:16enemy of the people.
01:17Go ahead.
01:23On the campaign trail, you called yourself a nationalist.
01:27Some people saw that as emboldening white nationalists.
01:29Now people are also saying-
01:30I don't know why you'd say that.
01:31It's such a racist question.
01:32There are some people that say that now the Republican Party is seen as supporting white
01:36nationalists because of your rhetoric.
01:37Oh, I don't believe that.
01:38I don't believe that.
01:39What do you make of that?
01:40I don't believe it.
01:41I just, well, I don't know.
01:42Why do I have my highest poll numbers ever with African Americans?
01:44Why do I have among the highest poll numbers with African Americans?
01:47I mean, why do I have my highest poll numbers?
01:50It's such a racist question.
01:58Honestly, I mean, I know you have it written down and you're going to tell me.
02:01Let me tell you, it's a racist question.
