>> Reggie: YOU KNOW, I WANTED TO CHANGE THE TECHNIQUE.

>> James: WOW, WE'LL HAVE TO CUT THIS OUT, HE WATCHES EVERY

DAY.

>> Reggie: I KNOW, HE IS GOING TO BE SO DISAPPOINTED.

NO, HE WON'T.

>> James: NOW, BE HONEST.

DID YOU USE THE PANDEMIC AS A WAY TO REMOVE-- THAT, THAT HAS

BEEN THE GREATEST THING ABOUT THIS PANDEMIC, THAT YOU ARE ABLE

TO EXTRACT YOURSELF AWAY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH A TRAINER.

>> YEAH, TRUEZ.

IT'S TRUE, OR THE GYM ITSELF, HEY, GYMS ARE CLOSED.

>> James: OH NO, HAVE I TO-- BE HONEST.

IS THIS THE POINT NOW THAT JERGEN IS FINDING OUT THAT HE IS

NO LONGER YOUR TRAINER.

>> Reggie: NO, NO, IT'S NOT, NO, OH MY GOD, THAT WOULD BE

AMAZING.

>> James: JERGEN, IF YOU ARE WATCHINGK WE LOVE YOU.

>> Reggie: WE LO DOVE YOU.

>> James: AN YOU HAVE DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB WITH REG YEA

WATT, LOOK AT THE MAN, IS HE HALF THE MAN.

>> Reggie: THAT'S RIGHT.

>> James: TONIGHT ON THE SHOW WE WILL BE TALKING TO THE

DAZZLING GABRIELLE UNION AND A PERFORMANCE BY NICK KAIF, HOPE

YOU STICK AROUND FOR THAT.

BUT THERE IS BIG NEWS TO TALK ABOUT TODAY AND SOME EXPLOSIVE

NEW AUDIO TO RELEASE, EARLIER TODAY PRESIDENT TRUMP ADMITTED

TO JOURNALIST BOB WOODWARD THAT HE PURPOSEFULLY PLAYED DOWN THE

DANGERS OF THE CORONAVIRUS DESPITE EVERYTHING HE WAS SAYING

AT THE TIME, TRUMP UNION HOW DEADLY AND CON TABLINGOUS THE

VIRUS-- CONTAGIOUS THE VIRUS WAS BACK IN EARLY FEBRUARY, HAVE A

LISTEN.

>> I THINK BOB, REALLY, TO BE HONEST.

>> I WANT YOU TO BE.

>> I WANTED TO-- I WANTED TO ALWAYS PLAY IT DOWN.

I STILL LIKE PLAYING IT DOWN.

>> YES, SIR.

>> BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO CREATE A PANIC.

>> James: WELL THANK GOD.

THANK GOD NONE OF US PANICKED.

YOU KNOW, I MIGHT HAVE FREAKED OUT AND STAYED INSIDE FOR SIX

MONTHS.

IN THE AUDIO TRUMP SAYS THE VIRUS IS DEADLY AND PASSED ALONG

IN THE AIR.

LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT, NOT ONLY DID THE PRESIDENT KNOW THIS

WAY BACK IN EARLY FEBRUARY, BUT BOB WOODWARD KNEW AS WELL.

SO LET'S BE HONEST AM MY BEEF IS WITH WOODWARD ON THIS ONE.

IT IS.

HE HAD THIS INFORMATION.

HE HAD THE TAPES THE WHOLE TIME.

TRUMP WAS OUT THERE SAYING DON'T WORRY, IT WILL GO AWAY.

HE'S HOLDING RALLIES.

AND BOB WOODWARD IS LIKE THIS IS TOO GOOD.

I AM GOING TO SAVE THIS FOR MY BOOK SEVEN MONTHS FROM NOW.

WOODWARD INTERVIEWED THE PRESIDENT TO HIS UPCOMING BOOK

"RAGE."

HE APPARENTLY HAS NAIN HOURS OF TAPED CONVERSATIONS WITH TRUMP

COVERING A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS.

NINE HOURS.

THAT IS LIKE-- THAT'S LIKE THREE PODCASTS.

(LAUGHTER) IF YOU REMEMBER BACK IN 2018

WOODWARD WROTE A BOOK CALLED "FEAR TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE,

WHICH REALLY BEGS THE QUESTION, WHY DOES THE PRESIDENT KEEP

AGREEING TO DO THESE INTERVIEWS?

ACCORDING TO WOODWARD FORMER DEFENSE SECRETARY JIM "MAD DOG"

MATTIS CONSIDERED TRUMP SO DANGEROUS AND UNFIT FOR OFFICE

THAT HE ACTUALLY WENT TO A CATHEDRAL TO PRAY ABOUT HIS

CONCERN FOR THE NATION.

HOW AWFUL DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO MAKE A GUY NAMED MAD DOG GO TO

CHURCH AND PRAY.

(LAUGHTER) ALTHOUGH YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT

HERE, GUYS, DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT?

STEVE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE HAVE GOT?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE HAVE GOT HERE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE ON

THE PRECIPICE HERE?

>> NO.

>> GUILLERMO, DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE HAVE GOT?

WE'VE GOT A PRAYING MATTIS.

OH.

ALL RIGHT.

(APPLAUSE) OKAY NOW.

>> James: HAVE A GREAT SLEEP, WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT.

(LAUGHTER) ALL DOWN HILL FROM KNOW, GUYS.

THAT'S IT MEANWHILE, TRUMP'S OPPONENT JOE BIDEN WAS OUT ON

THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND HE TOOK THE TOONT TO ADDRESS THE NEWLY

RELEASED TRUMP RECORDING.

NOW BEFORE I SHOW THE CLIP, IS IT JUST ME BUT EVERY TIME I'M

ABOUT TO WATCH A JOE BIDEN CLIP I'M ABSOLUTELY WHITE-KNUCKLING

IT.

>> YES I'M LIKE, I'M LIKE, DON'T SAY ANYTHING CRAZY.

DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU ARE.

DON'T SAY-- DON'T MESS THIS UP, JOE.

WELL, I CAN TELL YOU, HE DIDN'T.

HE WAS FORCEFUL AND DARE I SAY IT, PRESIDENTIAL.

HAVE A LOOK.

>> HE KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY DIED ABOUT THE THREAT IMPOSED TO

THE COUNTRY FOR MONTHS.

HE HAD THE INFORMATION, HE KNEW HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS.

AND WHILE THIS DEADLY DISEASE RIPPED THROUGH OUR NATION, HE

FAILED TO DO HIS JOB ON PURPOSE.

>> James: STRONG WORDS.

ALTHOUGH WHO PARKED THEIR CARS RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

(LAUGHTER) DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

IT IS THE VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN, I'M JUST GOING TO PARK HERE,

I'LL ONLY BE A FEW MINUTES.

YOU KNOW THAT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THAT SPEECH PEOPLE WERE

RUNNING AROUND GOING HAS ANYONE GOT THE EYS TO A SILVER

HATCHBACK?

(LAUGHTER) I WAS IMPRESSED WITH JOE BIDEN

THOUGH, I WAS.

I SAW CONVICTION.

I SAW DECISIVENESS.

I SAW LEADERSHIP, IT WAS BRILLIANT.

AND ALSO IF THIS DOESN'T WORK OUT I WOULD TOTALLY BUY A TRUCK

FROM JOE BIDEN.

WOULDN'T YOU?

IAN, WOULD YOU BUY A TRUCK FROM JOE BIDEN.

>> OH YEAH, IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER IF I WANT ONE.

HE WILL COME IN AND TRY TELLING A RAMENTABLING STORY ABOUT A

DRIFTER NAMED HOT WINGS AND THEN LIKE-- AND THEN BEFORE YOU KNOW

IT YOU ARE DRIVING HOME IN A TRUCK LIKE OH, I OWN A TRUCK

NOW, ALL RIGHT.

>> James: BUT IT WASN'T ALL BAD NEWS FOR THE PRESIDENT

TODAY.

IT ABSOLUTELY WAS NOT.

THIS MORNING IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN

NOMINATED FOR A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.

NO, COME ON, HE DID KEEP US ALL FROM PANICKING.

NO ONE PANICKED.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT, STUDIO AUDIENCE?

(LAUGHTER) TRUMP DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT PEACE, UNLESS IT HAS THE WORD FIVE BEFORE IT AND CHICKEN

BUCKETED AFTER IT.

AND LATER TODAY WHEN ASKED BY A REPORTER TO COMMENT ON THE BOB

WOODWARD RECORDING AND WHETHER HE MISLEAD THE COUNTRY, TRUMP

HAD THIS TO SAY.

>> IN ORDER TO REDID YOU MISLEAD.

>> I THINK IF YOU SAID IN ORDER TO REDUCE PANIC, PERHAPS THAT

IS.

SO THE FACT IS I'M A CHEERLEADER FOR THIS COUNTRY, I LOVE OUR

COUNTRY.

>> James: I THINK TRUMP GOT CARRIED AWAY WITH THE WHOLE

CHEERLEADER THING, HERE HE WAS, JUST A FEW HOURS LATER.
