Audio Boos Trump After He Tries Shutting Down Jeb’s Eminent Domain Criticism

‘He wants to be a tough guy’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
hydro-electric power from Canada. Do you see eminent domain as an appropriate tool to get that done? 
>> Let me just tell you about eminent domain. So many people have hit me with commercials and other things about eminent domain. Eminent domain is an absolute necessity for a country, for our country. Without it, you wouldn't have roads. You wouldn't have hospitals. You wouldn't have anything. You wouldn't have schools. You wouldn't have brujs. You need eminent domain. And a lot of the big conservatives that tell me how conservative they are, thiey all want the keystone pipeline. The keystone pipeline, without eminent domain, it wouldn't go ten feet, okay? You need it. It a good thing, not a bad thing. What a lot of people don't know, oh, you're going to take their property -- when somebody -- when eminent domain is used on somebody's property, that person gets a fortune. They get at least fair market value and if they are smart, they'll get two or three times the value of their property. But without eminent domain, you don't have roads, highways, schools, bridges or anything. So, eminent domain, not that I love it, but eminent domain is absolutely -- it's a necessity for a country. And certainly it's a necessity for our country. 
>> So, that is yes on the northern pass project? 
>> Yes. 
>> The ducifference between eminent domain for public purpose, roads and pipelines, that's for public purpose. What Donald Trump did was use eminent domain to try to take the property of an elderly woman on the strip in Atlantic City. That is not public purpose. That is down right wrong. Here's the problem with that. The problem was, it was to tear down -- 
>> Jeb wants to be a tough guy tonight. I didn't take the property. 
>> The net result was -- 
>> You tried. 
>> The woman ultimately didn't want to do that. I walked away. 
>> That's not true. To turn this into a limousine parking lot for his casinos is not public use. And in Florida, based on what we did, we made that impossible. It is part of our constitution. That's the better approach. That is the conservative approach. 
>> Mr. Trump? 30 seconds. 
>> He wants to be a tough guy. A lot of times you'll have -- you'll have -- and it didn't work very well. 
>> How tough it is to take property from an elderly woman. 
>> Let me talk. Quiet. A lot of times -- a lot of times -- that's all of his donors and special interests out there. So -- it's what it is. That's what it is. And by the way, let me just tell you, we needed tickets. You can't get them. You know who has the tickets -- to the television audience? Donors, special interests, the people that are putting up the money. That's who it is. The RNC told us. We have all donors in the audience. And the reason they're not loving me -- the reason they're not -- excuse me. The reason they're not loving me is, I don't want their money. I'm going to do the right thing for the American public. I don't want their money. I don't need their money. And I'm the only one up here that can say that. Eminent domain, the keystone pipeline. You consider that a private job? 
>> I consider it a public use. 
>> Let me ask you, Jeb. Do you consider it private? 
>> It's a public use. 
>> Public use? No, it's a private job. 
>> It's a public use. That was by the courts, federal, state courts. 
>> You wouldn't have the keystone pipeline that you want so badly without eminent domain. 
>> Gentlemen -- 
>> You wouldn't have massive factories without eminent domain. 
>> Gentlemen?
