░░░░░░░░ the word I judge ░░░░░░░░ by the way they ░░░░░░░░ me The fact we ░░░░░░░░ having this conversation is ░░░░░░░░ and it s because ░░░░░░░░ omarosa s ridiculous claims ░░░░░░░░ are plenty of things ░░░░░░░░ said that put it ░░░░░░░░ the realm of the ░░░░░░░░ Are you comfortable that ░░░░░░░░ doesn t fit within ░░░░░░░░ realm of possibilities of ░░░░░░░░ you have ever heard ░░░░░░░░ say It s outside ░░░░░░░░ the realm of possibility ░░░░░░░░ me I can t ░░░░░░░░ for anybody other than ░░░░░░░░ I want to play ░░░░░░░░ tape where you are ░░░░░░░░ with omarosa and another ░░░░░░░░ campaign aide Lin Patton ░░░░░░░░ this issue whether the ░░░░░░░░ used the N word ░░░░░░░░ know you know the ░░░░░░░░ Many of the viewers ░░░░░░░░ t heard it It ░░░░░░░░ came out today Let ░░░░░░░░ play it I m ░░░░░░░░ to find out at ░░░░░░░░ the context it was ░░░░░░░░ in to help us ░░░░░░░░ try to figure out ░░░░░░░░ way to spin it ░░░░░░░░ you think of any ░░░░░░░░ this might have happened ░░░░░░░░ he said no Well ░░░░░░░░ s not true So ░░░░░░░░ do you think I ░░░░░░░░ handle it I told ░░░░░░░░ exactly what you said ░░░░░░░░ which is well it ░░░░░░░░ on what scenario you ░░░░░░░░ talking about He said ░░░░░░░░ don t you just ░░░░░░░░ ahead and put it ░░░░░░░░ bed He said it ░░░░░░░░ said it He said ░░░░░░░░ He is embarrassed That ░░░░░░░░ you at the end ░░░░░░░░ anyone who couldn t ░░░░░░░░ it that sr you ░░░░░░░░ no he said it ░░░░░░░░ is embarrassed Can you ░░░░░░░░ what you said Absolutely ░░░░░░░░ was laid by omarosa ░░░░░░░░ Omarosa went around making ░░░░░░░░ specific claim that I ░░░░░░░░ been refuting for the ░░░░░░░░ two days Then she ░░░░░░░░ two audios submitted it ░░░░░░░░ them where it was ░░░░░░░░ into one story Since ░░░░░░░░ Erin the transcripts have ░░░░░░░░ released thankfully because now ░░░░░░░░ can see there were ░░░░░░░░ different discussions being had ░░░░░░░░ I will say is ░░░░░░░░ was refuting the claim ░░░░░░░░ she omarosa had said ░░░░░░░░ I permanently had a ░░░░░░░░ call with Jason Miller ░░░░░░░░ that I said that ░░░░░░░░ Trump actually said a ░░░░░░░░ term And that is ░░░░░░░░ and the transcript proves ░░░░░░░░ on call number two ░░░░░░░░ what you don t ░░░░░░░░ on these tapes is ░░░░░░░░ You don t hear ░░░░░░░░ hours upon hours of ░░░░░░░░ s consistent constant she ░░░░░░░░ was a dog with ░░░░░░░░ bone when it came ░░░░░░░░ this tape She was ░░░░░░░░ and glooming Okay This ░░░░░░░░ really important because this ░░░░░░░░ the context of what ░░░░░░░░ are talking about right ░░░░░░░░ It got to the ░░░░░░░░ to where we had ░░░░░░░░ campaign to run What ░░░░░░░░ hear in that tape ░░░░░░░░ is not the tape ░░░░░░░░ has been referencing is ░░░░░░░░ placating to her which ░░░░░░░░ did a be in ░░░░░░░░ times because she with ░░░░░░░░ not let this tape ░░░░░░░░ Let me be clear ░░░░░░░░ you say you are ░░░░░░░░ you are saying that ░░░░░░░░ said it he s ░░░░░░░░ was just you play ░░░░░░░░ her And when this ░░░░░░░░ came out today right ░░░░░░░░ it was played You ░░░░░░░░ out a statement Two ░░░░░░░░ In your statement you ░░░░░░░░ that word Katrina in ░░░░░░░░ secret tape recording of ░░░░░░░░ it was one of ░░░░░░░░ many times I would ░░░░░░░░ omarosa to move the ░░░░░░░░ along because I was ░░░░░░░░ of her discussion of ░░░░░░░░ tape What I m ░░░░░░░░ to understand if you ░░░░░░░░ weary and trying to ░░░░░░░░ her how is saying ░░░░░░░░ said it placating That ░░░░░░░░ admitting It s simple ░░░░░░░░ you look at the ░░░░░░░░ which most people haven ░░░░░░░░ seen you see it ░░░░░░░░ omarosa who is the ░░░░░░░░ her She is literally ░░░░░░░░ with Lin Patton You ░░░░░░░░ it Katrina Let me ░░░░░░░░ to that She is ░░░░░░░░ with Lin Patton about ░░░░░░░░ saying it The president ░░░░░░░░ says he didn t ░░░░░░░░ is saying he did ░░░░░░░░ you hear me saying ░░░░░░░░ me interrupting okay okay ░░░░░░░░ said it he s ░░░░░░░░ let s move on ░░░░░░░░ was completely a different ░░░░░░░░ You are not saying ░░░░░░░░ said it You are ░░░░░░░░ oh he said it ░░░░░░░░ said it it s ░░░░░░░░ about tone Your viewers ░░░░░░░░ m pretty sure have ░░░░░░░░ into an individual that ░░░░░░░░ the complete epitome of ░░░░░░░░ to where you absolutely ░░░░░░░░ to finally give in ░░░░░░░░ order to get on ░░░░░░░░ your day That happened ░░░░░░░░ number of times because ░░░░░░░░ is a bully She ░░░░░░░░ get in your face ░░░░░░░░ you are not telling ░░░░░░░░ what she wants to ░░░░░░░░ She had a mission ░░░░░░░░ we see now the ░░░░░░░░ thing omarosa accomplished today ░░░░░░░░ she let everyone know ░░░░░░░░ her tactic was She ░░░░░░░░ use things and stories ░░░░░░░░ scary tapes to try ░░░░░░░░ coax people into saying ░░░░░░░░ she needed to build ░░░░░░░░ narrative You can tell ░░░░░░░░ if you read the ░░░░░░░░ because myself and Lin ░░░░░░░░ both refer to her ░░░░░░░░ to the information that ░░░░░░░░ being referenced Okay So ░░░░░░░░ want to understand why ░░░░░░░░ is a discrepancy Last ░░░░░░░░ you told Ed Henry ░░░░░░░░ the conversation with omarosa ░░░░░░░░ happened right The being ░░░░░░░░ tone or what you ░░░░░░░░ play kating or not ░░░░░░░░ said it never happened ░░░░░░░░ was before the tape ░░░░░░░░ this very conversation came ░░░░░░░░ Now there is a ░░░░░░░░ you came out and ░░░░░░░░ out a statement and ░░░░░░░░ say oh I said ░░░░░░░░ said what I said ░░░░░░░░ I was play kagt ░░░░░░░░ want to play the ░░░░░░░░ of what you said ░░░░░░░░ it is He said ░░░░░░░░ He s embarrassed So ░░░░░░░░ changed Now we know ░░░░░░░░ conversation did take place ░░░░░░░░ night you said it ░░░░░░░░ t That s not ░░░░░░░░ case But that was ░░░░░░░░ you knew there was ░░░░░░░░ tape That s not ░░░░░░░░ case That s not ░░░░░░░░ same conversation That s ░░░░░░░░ it is important to ░░░░░░░░ at the transcript It ░░░░░░░░ the conversation There are ░░░░░░░░ conversations the claim I ░░░░░░░░ refuting is omarosa made ░░░░░░░░ claim that I had ░░░░░░░░ conference call with Jason ░░░░░░░░ and that I confirmed ░░░░░░░░ he said it and ░░░░░░░░ is a lie The ░░░░░░░░ prove it Totally separate ░░░░░░░░ You are saying that ░░░░░░░░ with Jason Miller never ░░░░░░░░ What you said last ░░░░░░░░ is not in conflict ░░░░░░░░ the tape today Absolutely ░░░░░░░░ never confirmed that Donald ░░░░░░░░ said a derogatory term ░░░░░░░░ Jason Miller It didn ░░░░░░░░ happen She is conflating ░░░░░░░░ different ips at that ░░░░░░░░ s how CBS got ░░░░░░░░ In the tape that ░░░░░░░░ played which is about ░░░░░░░░ N word when you ░░░░░░░░ the president said it ░░░░░░░░ s embarrassed you are ░░░░░░░░ saying at that moment ░░░░░░░░ were lying to omarosa ░░░░░░░░ make her go away ░░░░░░░░ that s the placating ░░░░░░░░ have to read the ░░░░░░░░ transcript That s beauty ░░░░░░░░ this Omarosa is the ░░░░░░░░ She is pushing the ░░░░░░░░ and I am the ░░░░░░░░ that interrupted You are ░░░░░░░░ it was a blow ░░░░░░░░ sort of a American ░░░░░░░░ is not a blow ░░░░░░░░ kinds of a thing ░░░░░░░░ it Absolutely That s ░░░░░░░░ narrative She consistently pushed ░░░░░░░░ scenario multiple scenarios I ░░░░░░░░ tired of it We ░░░░░░░░ an election to win ░░░░░░░░ s why I stopped ░░░░░░░░ from arguing with Lin ░░░░░░░░ said all right he ░░░░░░░░ it he is embarrassed ░░░░░░░░ on My colleagues said ░░░░░░░░ me the only time ░░░░░░░░ said that is because ░░░░░░░░ the access Hollywood tape ░░░░░░░░ was using it to ░░░░░░░░ the narrative and the ░░░░░░░░ are proof The president ░░░░░░░░ she is wacky not ░░░░░░░░ a loser a low ░░░░░░░░ someone who missed work ░░░░░░░░ meetings Of course a ░░░░░░░░ Are you comfortable with ░░░░░░░░ I m perfectly fine ░░░░░░░░ it He is nicer ░░░░░░░░ I would have This ░░░░░░░░ a man that this ░░░░░░░░ a man that spent ░░░░░░░░ helping this woman biological ░░░░░░░░ brand make money become ░░░░░░░░ star invested in her ░░░░░░░░ gave her a top ░░░░░░░░ at the White House ░░░░░░░░ this is how she ░░░░░░░░ repaying him I think ░░░░░░░░ president is actually going ░░░░░░░░ on her So you ░░░░░░░░ t think any of ░░░░░░░░ is racist No I ░░░░░░░░ t Being not smart ░░░░░░░░ a dog you are ░░░░░░░░ with that Not one ░░░░░░░░ Did you ever sign ░░░░░░░░ nda with Trump Yes ░░░░░░░░ did
