-- we continue now with part two of my interview with the one and only -- -- If you -- -- whoever the eventual nominee is against Obama advice how do you deal with class warfare how do you deal with.
Rhetoric where they're accusing you falsely of being racist or for your base of being racist.
Wow how -- home to -- counter that.
Well a true leader is able to get people together.
A real leader gets everybody together.
And I tell you what I've been doing this stuff for a long time I've been very politically active almost all my life.
In terms of supporting lots of different candidates and you can see has supported Democrats republic I support you -- a -- a lot of people.
I'm not so many mistakes but you know what the truth is I've supported a lot of people that have been good people -- some bad words but for the most part pretty good people.
A real leader gets everybody together.
And I've never seen I've been watching for a long time as you have.
I've never seen a situation -- this country so divided as is now.
This country's blowing up -- we're blowing up.
Somebody use that term the other day I was I was watching a friend of -- doing something and He said yeah our country is blowing up He was down.
On Wall Street watching the kids and watching the people down there.
And I've never seen this country and this kind of trouble before.
And a true leader wouldn't let that happen that's true for the president is fomenting it.
This actually fomenting it and think -- is -- well look we have high unemployment businesses are doing terribly people losing their houses everywhere in some trouble and the only way policies are actually from his -- -- -- -- not for the country but for him personally the only way he's probably gonna get elected is to do that.
So his policies -- He can't run on his record.
So hope and change becomes.
You know the worst kind of politics.
In your estimation what I think that's what's happening I think He probably feels He can't get elected -- on the merits obviously got -- countries a disaster.
You know the other thing we're not respected anymore as a country we used to be respected.
-- -- the word fear because it's not as nice a word but we were respected by the world.
As a power what are respectively -- -- -- fast He make -- details of the incoherent message of all these guys on it.
Wall Street there's anger.
Some of the anger I think justified.
High debt record deficits high unemployment.
Lack of opportunity.
But.
It seems that they want more government is the answer.
There's anger at bailouts which I agree with you agree with that right absolutely you don't know comes to bail you out of none of them know you don't -- bill that I.
I will say this there's something wrong.
And when I first started people laughing at it oh they just kids having a good time and you know this and that but they -- visit has a fever in this country.
And it's festering it's really fast and like I've never seen before there is something -- now there were angry at the banking system.
I'm a Republican guy on the conservative guy but I can tell you if I sell a home to somebody they can't get financing from a bank.
Okay they can't get financing to banks aren't lending money now the banks to get bailed out.
So what -- you like that you don't like it they got bailed out by this country.
But they're not loaning money to banks have not been treating people properly if you buy a house -- if you have a house you can't make a deal with the bank.
And that's cause tremendous.
Anger throughout the country I think it started with the banks I think it is I think it's the bailouts probably the one area we agree but they seem.
This it seems to be misdirected the anger shouldn't be you know shouldn't many of these protests be taken place at the White House I would say a policy.
You know if I could speak to that group a match on exactly the right -- -- -- going down.
Stand up but if I could speak today group let's say folks let's go let's top in the -- top of the place we're going -- to Washington that He can take a minute big new jet I'll do that.
But they should be protesting.
In Washington.
Not here.
Because Washington really did cause the problems they look everybody cause a problem but the biggest culprit is Washington and the biggest problem is Washington isn't fixing the problem.
Because Obama truly doesn't know what to do I so President Obama has embraced this occupy Wall Street movement.
I think -- huge political mistake.
What what is He thinking where is that team in 2008.
-- ran a pretty flawless campaign well people don't realize He got a lot of his money when He first got elected by Wall Street most of those people of abandoned them I have people that were big supporters of them.
They truly cannot even stand that they can't hear his speeches they can't listen to talk about the sun will rise tomorrow morning.
I mean you know you listen to these speeches it's just all rhetoric is no substance and these people cannot stand -- so he's lost Wall Street but the fact is.
The protesters.
You know I don't know they like him or they don't like them I guess some of them do like them.
What He used Wall Street to his own benefit -- when He got a lot of campaign funds but then He took.
The top of -- even mention their names because difference in my but He took the top people -- Wall Street.
And brought him into his administration they -- the wrong people.
-- -- -- -- And they failed and -- and and they wanna do the same thing over again they want to do it again last question.
He told me earlier that you're likely to endorse next month or two before the primaries so he's -- okay.
-- -- leaning towards I can't tell you.
You are leaning towards somebody -- some of them but you and I can't tell you you haven't made a final decision I have not had a final decision but I'm I am a little bit leaning towards somebody.
I can tell you this anybody.
Anybody on that panel anybody on -- -- bloody photo by anybody is better than what we have right now but I am slightly leaning -- somebody and I actually respect them all does that person know who this.
I don't oriented -- effect at -- all right Donald Trump always good to see you thank you for thank you very much appreciate it --
