DONALD TRUMP'S SON, ERIC, RECENTLY HAD AN INTERVIEW WITH
THE TELEGRAPH, A NEWSPAPER IN THE UK, AND HE WAS ASKED ABOUT
A NUMBER OF THINGS, INCLUDING NEPOTISM IN THE WHITE HOUSE,
AND ALSO DONALD TRUMP'S DECISION TO TAKE ACTION IN SYRIA.
THOSE TWO THINGS ARE ACTUALLY RELATED.
LET'S FOCUS ON NEPOTISM, AND HOW THAT PLAYED A ROLE IN WHAT
DONALD TRUMP DECIDED TO DO.
WHEN IT COMES TO NEPOTISM, ERIC TRUMP NOT ONLY AGREES THAT
IT PLAYS A ROLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE, HE ALSO THINK THAT
THE GREAT THING.
HE SAYS, "YOU TRUST THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CLOSEST TO YOU."
FAIR ENOUGH.
HE ALSO SAID, MEANING TRUMP, "HE KNOWS I CARE ABOUT THE
FAMILY, HE KNOWS I CARE ABOUT THE BRAND.
HE KNOWS I CARE ABOUT THE PROPERTIES, OUR AMAZING TEAMS."
ESSENTIALLY HE IS SAYING, MY DAD KNOWS I CARE ABOUT THESE
ISSUES, SO OF COURSE NEPOTISM IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE I'M
WHAT YOU A BETTER JOB THAN ANYONE ELSE.
HE CONTINUES, "IS THAT NEPOTISM?
ABSOLUTELY.
IS THAT ALSO A BEAUTIFUL THING?
ABSOLUTELY.
FAMILY BUSINESS IS ALSO A PEOPLE THING."
HE'S STARTING TO SOUND LIKE HIS DAD.
WELL, HE'S A PRODUCT OF TRUMP, AND IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME THAT
HE WOULD OPENLY APPLAUD NEPOTISM, WHETHER IT BE IN
BUSINESS OR IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
HE ALSO TOLD THE TELEGRAPH ON MONDAY THAT THE STRIKE IN SYRIA
WAS INFLUENCED IN PART BY IVANKA, WHO HE SAID WAS
OUTRAGED AND HEARTBROKEN BY THE CHEMICAL ATTACK.
HE SAID, "IVANKA IS A MOTHER OF THREE KIDS AND SHE HAS
IMPLEMENTS.
I'M SURE SHE SAID, LISTEN, THIS IS HORRIBLE STUFF.
MY FATHER WILL ACT IN TIMES LIKE THAT."
OBVIOUSLY NEPOTISM PLAYS A ROLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE, BECAUSE YOU
HAVE IVANKA TRUMP AND JARED KUSHNER IN THE WHITE HOUSE,
WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH DONALD TRUMP, THEY HAVE OFFICIAL
POSITIONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
SO, I THINK THIS SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THIS
ADVERTISEMENT IS GOING TO BE LIKE, AND I ALSO THINK ñ WHAT
THIS ADMINISTRATION IS GOING TO BE LIKE.
AND ALSO MAKE IT INTERESTING THAT IVANKA TRUMP GETS PURSED ñ
GETS TRADE AS THIS SECRET LIBERAL BY THE MEDIA, THAT SHE
IS GOING TO LOOK OUT FOR LIBERAL INTERESTS, BUT I THINK IT'S A
WEIRD ARGUMENT TO MAKE.
VIDEO BUFFERING --
YOU NAIL IT ON THE HEAD WITH THE IVANKA THING.
EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT IVANKA AND JARED KUSHNER, BECAUSE THEY
ARE ELITIST NEW YORK SOCIALITES.
THE MEDIA LOVES ELITE NEW YORK SOCIALITES.
DONALD TRUMP SAYS CRAZY THINGS THAT THE MEDIA CAN UNDERSTAND,
BUT WITH JARED AND IVANKA, THEY UNDERSTAND THEM, AND AT THE
END OF THE DAY, I ENDED ñ I DOUBT THAT IVANKA HAS EVEN THE
SLIGHTEST BIT OF INFLUENCE OVER HER FATHER, AND EVEN IF SHE
DOES, WHERE WAS HER HEARTBROKEN INFLUENCE WHEN HER DAD WAS
EXECUTIVE ORDERING THE MUSLIM BAN?
WHERE WAS HER INFLUENCE OVER THE HEALTHCARE BILL?
IF SHE SOWS A PATHETIC AND SUCH AN OUTSPOKEN SECRET
LIBERAL, AND IF SHE HAS SO MUCH POWER OVER HER FATHER,
WHERE IS HER INFLUENCE WHEN IT COMES TO LITERALLY 98% OF THE
OTHER THINGS THAT HIS DAD DOES THAT ARE AWFUL FOR THE COUNTRY?
WE CONSTANTLY SET THE BAR SO LOW FOR THESE PEOPLE, IT'S JUST LIKE
WHEN DONALD TRUMP BOMBS THE HELL OUT OF A SYRIAN BASE AFTER
INFORMING THE RUSSIANS THAT THEY ARE COMING TO BOMB THEM THROUGH
COMMON PROTOCOLS, AND THEN EVERYONE IS APPLAUDING, LIKE
THIS IS IT, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE'S BEEN PRESIDENTIAL.
HOW IS THIS THE FIRST TIME HE'S BEEN PRESIDENTIAL?
HE'S NEVER BEEN PRESIDENTIAL, AND IF YOUR STANDARD FOR
SOMEONE BEING PRESIDENTIAL IS TAKING ACTION AGAINST THEM
ñ AGAINST ANOTHER COUNTRY, OR USING MISSILES AGAINST
ANOTHER COUNTRY BASED ON EMOTION OR ADVICE FROM THEIR CHILD,
THEN YOUR BAR FOR PRESIDENTIAL IS VERY LOW.
GRACE, I WANT YOU TO JUMP IN, TELL ME IF YOU DISAGREE BECAUSE
I MIGHT BE WRONG, I ACTUALLY DO THINK THAT IVANKA TRUMP HAS
INFLUENCE OVER DONALD TRUMP.
I THINK THAT HE DOES RESPECT, AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HER
POSITIONS ON ISSUES.
I JUST DISAGREE THAT SHE'S A LIBERAL.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT COMES FROM.
IF YOU LOOK AT HER BUSINESS PRACTICES, SHE DOES NOT BELIEVE
IN THE ROLE POLICIES WHEN IT COMES TO TAKING CARE OF ñ COMES
TO TAKING CARE OF YOUR WORKERS.
I THINK THAT THE FAVORITISM THAT DONALD TRUMP SHOWS TO HIS
DAUGHTER IVANKA IS VERY APPARENT.
YOU SEE IT IN EVERY INTERVIEW THAT HE TALKS ABOUT HER ACCESS
TO THE ADMINISTRATION, BUT THIS INTERVIEW WITH THE DAILY
TELEGRAPH WITH ERIC TRUMP IS VERY TROUBLING TO ME, FOR A
NUMBER OF REASONS.
THERE IS THE NEPOTISM, AND JUST THE ACCEPTANCE THAT NEPOTISM IS
JUST A WAY OF LIFE.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT FELT INCREDIBLY EMOTIONALLY
MANIPULATIVE, AND ALSO IT FEELS AS THOUGH WE ARE BEING PRIMED,
YOU KNOW, WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL READ THIS INTERVIEW,
THAT WE ARE BEING PRIMED FOR THE MILITARY ACTIONS THAT ARE TO
COME OR HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED.
AND THAT'S WHAT MAY BE REALLY FRUSTRATED, BECAUSE YOU
HAVE ERIC TRUMP APPEALING TO YOUR EMOTIONAL
SENSIBILITIES, SAYING, OH SHE WAS SO HEARTBROKEN AT THE
OUTRAGE OF THESE CHILDREN BEING GASSED, IT WAS SO SAD.
AND HOW COULD THIS ADMINISTER SHOULD HAVE THE AUDACITY, IN THE
SAME BREATH THAT THEY ARE ñ HOW COULD THIS ADMINISTRATION HAVE
THE AUDACITY TO CALL THIS OUT, WHEN A MOAT ñ WHEN THEY WILL
MAKE A CHANGE TO THEIR REFUGEE POLICY.
PEOPLE WILL SAY THAT THEY HAVE TO STEP IN, AS LONG AS THE
REFUGEES AREN'T COMING HERE, AND THAT'S WHY I THINK THIS
INTERVIEW WAS REALLY GROSS THOUGHT IT IS ERIC TRUMP,
WHO WE DON'T HEAR FROM A LOT, STEPPING UP AND ACTING AS
THE MANIPULATOR ON BEHALF OF HIS FAMILY.
AGAIN, WE TALK ABOUT THE NEPOTISM.
HE WANTS TO DO THE FAMILY BRAND, YOU ALWAYS TALK OF THE PEOPLE
CLOSEST TO YOU, HE SAID IT BEST, SO HE'S DOING THE DIRTY WORK IN
APPEALING TO OUR SENSIBILITIES.
ABSOLUTELY.
I WANTED TO ADD ONE QUICK THING.
LOOK, I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT, IT'S OKAY, GO AHEAD.
I'M SO SORRY.
THE ONE POSITIVE OUTCOME OUT OF ALL THIS IS THAT ERIC TRUMP,
MUCH LIKE THE REST OF THE TRUMP FAMILY, WILL EVENTUALLY STEP
OVER HIS OWN WORDS AND ADMIT SOMETHING WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING
HE'S ADMITTING IT.
ONE THING THAT REALLY STOOD OUT TO ME WAS WHEN HE SAID, IF
THERE'S ANYTHING THAT THE STRIKE ON SYRIA DID, IT WAS TO
VALIDATE THAT THERE IS NO RUSSIAN TIE.
THAT IS SO STUPID, AND HE IS ADMITTING THAT THE REAL REASON
WHY DONALD TRUMP DID THIS, DONALD TRUMP WAS GIVEN THREE
DIFFERENT ñ THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE PRESS CORPS THAT WAS AT MAR
A LAGO, HE WAS GIVEN THREE OPTIONS AND HE CHOSE THIS ONE.
ONE WAS HEAVY BOOTS ON THE GROUND, ONE WAS NOTHING, OR A
STRONGLY WORDED LETTER, AND THIS WAS THE OPTION HE CHOSE OUT OF
THE THREE, AND HE CHOSE IT BECAUSE IT PERFECTLY MISDIRECT
THE CONVERSATION AWAY FROM THE RUSSIAN INVESTIGATION, THAT HE,
BY THE WAY, EVEN THOUGH NUNES EXCUSED HIMSELF OF, HE PUT HIS
OTHER CRONIES INTO THAT INVESTIGATION AND EVENTUALLY
THEY WILL PUSH IT AWAY AND NO ONE WILL TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE.
AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING, WE CAN'T LOVE RUSSIA, LOOK AT WHAT
WE ARE SAYING.
ERIC TRUMP IS NOT TACTFUL, HE WAS VERY TRANSPARENT IN THE
INTERVIEW ABOUT ONE OF THE REASONS WHY TRUMP MIGHT
HAVE TAKEN SOME MILITARY ACTION.
HE JUST STRAIGHT UP SAYS, ALL OF A SUDDEN WE ARE NOT
FOCUSING ON RUSSIA ANYMORE, ISN'T THAT WEIRD?
SO YEAH, I THINK THERE IS A POLITICAL MOTIVE BEHIND WHAT
TRUMP DID, I DO THINK THAT IVANKA HAS SOME INFLUENCE OVER
HIM, I DO NOT THINK THAT SHE IS A LIBERAL LOOK OUT FOR THE
INTERESTS OF SOCIAL JUSTICE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
AND THE ONE THING I WANTED TO ADD WAS, THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS,
AND THE CHEMICAL ATTACK ON SYRIANS WAS HORRENDOUS AND IT
WAS THE SECOND TIME IT WAS DONE, BUT CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN TARGETED
OVER AND OVER AGAIN BY ASSAD.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE BEEN REPORTING ON FOR A VERY LONG
TIME, AND THE RIGHT WING HASN'T CARED FOR ONE SECOND, THE TOP
ADMINISTRATION HASN'T CARED FOR ONE 2ND.
THEY NEVER CARED ABOUT THE REFUGEES THAT WE HAVE BEEN
BEGGING THIS ADMINISTRATION TO LET INTO THE COUNTRY, THE VAST
MAJORITY OF WHICH ARE WOMEN AND CHILDREN JUST LOOKING TO
SURPRISE ñ TO SURVIVE.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEY HAVE CHEMICAL WEAPONS AND WE
CERTAINLY CARE?
NOT BUYING IT FOR A 2ND.
THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY INNOCENT SYRIAN CIVILIANS WHO HAVE
DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS WAR, AND NO ONE IN AMERICA HAS
CARED ABOUT IT.
SO THE FACT THAT THE MEDIA IS ALL OF A SUDDEN RALLYING
BEHIND TRUMP AND DEPENDING HE IS BEING PRESIDENTIAL, NO.
1ST OF ALL, THE MEDIA IS THE PROBLEM, THEY HAVE NOT CARED OR
COVERED THE STORIES OF CIVILIANS DYING AS A RESULT OF ASSAD.
THESE WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE SPECIFICALLY TARGETED BY RUSSIA
BACKED SYRIAN FORCES, AGAIN, ASSAD.
SO, AGAIN, IT'S A REALLY FRUSTRATING SITUATION, AND THIS
WHOLE THING WITH NEPOTISM, AND THE LACK OF STRATEGY IS VERY
SCARY, NOT ONLY FOR PEOPLE IN SYRIA, BUT ALSO PEOPLE IN THE
UNITED STATES, AND MEMBERS OF OUR MILITARY WHO MIGHT,
UNFORTUNATELY, AND UP IN SYRIA, AND MIGHT END UP FIGHTING A WAR
THAT TRUMP HAS NO STRATEGY FOR.
