00:00You know the amazing thing is the press when they write about this rally tomorrow

00:05They'll say

00:07President Trump was here. He had a small smattering of people a

00:12Small delicate crowd of a few people

00:16Sometimes they'll say a few hundred people

00:18They never talk about it and they never show the crowd no matter look at the corner see the corner of the room turn

00:24Your camera right up in that corner

00:31See that corner up there see that corner look at that

00:52Look at him. Look at that guy. He's going crazy up there. He loves it

00:56He's going crazy

00:59He's got the worst seat in the house and he's got more attention than anybody

01:15But those cameras will never turn well they are see I'm watching the cameras

01:19They're not turning because they don't want to turn because they don't want to show what's happening. This is the greatest movement

01:25In the history of our country and if we don't win this election

01:30Our country is finished

01:40You know, I used to plead with the fake news, but now I learned it's not worth it

01:44But I played show the crowd showed the crowd. Please show the crowd, you know, I'd say

01:56And

01:58They'd keep that camera blaring right on my face

02:01They'd show it as tight as possible as tight as you can and I'd say you've got to show the crowd

02:07You've got to show it and I actually thought in

02:112015 and 2016 when I started because we had these crowds for the beginning

02:14I have to say now they're bigger and better and stronger I think than ever

02:18Bigger

02:21Better look at that's when I say the corner

02:24You know, the place is packed if those seats are gone, but I love that one guy up there. He's going crazy. We've made him a star

02:32but I used to say

02:34Turn the camera turn it turn it I went through and I never understood because it's actually good for them

02:39It shows that people are watching something. So I figured it would be easy even the bad ones. They should do it

02:44They should show the kind of crowd size and they wouldn't do it even the friendly ones. I won't mention names

02:48Okay, but you know who I'm talking about friend. They would never show the crowd and then I

02:53Realized what it must be

02:55It's a metal object and I figured they couldn't turn the camera because it's on steel

03:00Tripods and I figured it's very rigid and then one night in late 2015 just prior to 2016

03:07There was a terrible fight like over there in the corner

03:10Where the only way a camera could get the fight would be to do a triple loop triple triped loop

03:18swirl

03:19underneath the people's legs

03:22And that camera I've never seen any piece of steel bend so much it was like

03:28They got every second of that fight

03:31I said you mean the cameras do turn very well and they do that was when I learned it's fake news

03:37It's just fake news

03:39But they won't show this crowd. They won't show
