Former President Donald Trump capped off Glendale’s Halloween night with an almost two-hour-long interview with Tucker Carlson.
This interview concluded Carlson’s live tour across the country with the proceeds from the event being used to benefit survivors from Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Before Trump took the stage, Carlson prefaced the interview by stating that Trump is going to change American politics, going against the status quo of both Democrats and Republicans.
“When he comes back with an army of people who know exactly what’s up, they know where the bodies are likely going to be buried, and they are coming with shovels to dig them up,” Carlson said.
The end of his speech before the interview emphasized Trump’s “masculinity,” saying he showed bravery when he was shot in the ear back in July.
“Masculinity is still an indispensable thing,” Carlson said. “Nobody’s going out with a spear, but you still need a brave man in charge. Memo to any unmarried women in here, don’t marry a feminist man. They’ll smack you around for sure.”
These statements led to Carlson’s first question to Trump, which was why he was running for president after an assassination attempt and the financial security for other options.
“I have one thing in mind,” Trump said. “It’s called Make America Great Again.”
Trump spent much of his time talking about America’s “enemies,” from foreign entities to the U.S. press.
Tackling one of his more prominent talking points, Trump again noted that he would enact a “mass deportation” of all illegal immigrants if elected president, saying they are a threat to U.S. citizens with “millions and millions” of them being murderers, drug dealers and prisoners.
“I’m sure we have some of them in here tonight with us,” Trump said, stating that he thinks the border is the biggest issue facing Americans. “I happen to think that the border is the single biggest issue. I think it’s bigger than inflation. The worst thing that’s happened to this country is allowing millions of people in this country that are criminal people.”
