  • The presidential race

  • where one candidate has just taken a big step

  • toward making his campaign great again.

  • It's a big shakeup for the Donald Trump campaign

  • just weeks before the Republican convention is set to begin.

  • Trump campaign's manager, Corey Lewandowski, is out.

  • Lewandowski has been part of Trump's inner circle

  • from the very beginning, from even before day one.

  • He is part of that sort of original group

  • of Trump supporters who were with him

  • since he came down that escalator at Trump Tower.

  • Ah, yes, the escalator that brought us Trump.

  • It almost seems like whoever was on that escalator ride

  • got to be part of the Trump campaign.

  • It doesn't seem like they were planned.

  • Like, Trump was just riding and going, "Who is this guy?

  • I like his style. I like him. He's on."

  • "Uh, sir, that is the escalator railing."

  • "Yeah, I want him on the campaign.

  • I need more black support. I'll take it."

  • -(laughter and groaning) -"Uh, sir, I don't think you can..."

  • "Hurry! He's getting away He's getting away!"

  • (laughter)

  • So it appears

  • Corey Lewandowski's grip on power was not as strong

  • as his grip on young female reporters.

  • And I can only imagine what it must have been like for him

  • when Donald Trump told him that he was off the campaign.

  • You know, Lewandowski probably walked into the conference room.

  • Trump was sitting in a big chair behind a mahogany table,

  • and Trump looked at him and said...

  • (dramatic music plays)

  • "Corey... your services are no longer necessary."

  • (laughter)

  • (dramatic music plays)

  • "You're a liability to the campaign and need to leave.

  • Oh, and one more thing."

  • (dramatic music plays)

  • "You're... fired up,

  • and that'll serve you well in the future."

  • (laughter)

  • "Oh, an you're fired."

  • Uh, now firing his controversial campaign manager

  • as he pivots to the general election may be one

  • of the smartest decisions this entire campaign.

  • And just like most of Trump's other smart decisions,

  • it turns out someone else made it.

  • We hear from sources inside the campaign

  • that it really was Donald Trump's children

  • who were responsible for the final decision.

  • First and foremost,

  • I'm told that it was his daughter Ivanka.

  • She said, "Either he goes, or I can't do this anymore."

  • Wow.

  • -Ivanka with the ultimatum. -(laughter)

  • -"It's either him or me." -(laughter)

  • I mean when she puts it that way,

  • it's really no choice for Donald Trump at all.

  • Because, I mean, let's face it-- he can't fire his daughter.

  • And he can't bang his campaign manager.

  • -(laughter and groaning) -So...

  • (applause and cheering)

  • Now there may be many reasons

  • why Ivanka wanted to get rid of Lewandowski.

  • I mean, one of them could be that under his management,

  • Trump's polls have dropped faster

  • -than Carly Fiorina on a podium. -(laughter)

  • And... and it's not just in the polls.

  • Some of those high-profile Republican lawmakers declined

  • to go anywhere near the latest round

  • of comments from Donald Trump.

  • -I'll late for, so... -...said yesterday that made you.

  • MAN: They'll duck into offices...

  • -I've got a quick... -I know you do.

  • ...cut off interviews.

  • And they'll avoid uttering his name.

  • MAN: Majority Whip John Cornyn is done

  • talking about Trump until after the election.

  • Yeah, I'm not gonna be commenting

  • on the presidential candidate today.

  • It seems that like it's now, "I don't want to comment,"

  • and just to run out the clock here.

  • Yeah. Welcome to our world.

  • They senators look like such idiots

  • ducking into random rooms, you know?

  • That's all they're doing the whole time,

  • just to avoid talking about Trump.

  • Like, if I was them, I would just make sure

  • that I'm carrying something I can eat the entire time.

  • And then, if the reporters jumped out and were like,

  • "Sir, can we ask you about Donald Trump?

  • Senator, Senator, what do you think about Trump?",

  • I'd just be like... (muffled speech)

  • (laughter)

  • "Senator, what are you eating?"

  • -"It's a dick. It's a dick." -(laughter)

  • "I'm eating a dick. I'm eating a dick.

  • -I didn't want to... A dick." -(applause and cheering)

  • And you know, the truth is it's easy to see

  • why Republicans don't want to be associated with Donald Trump.

  • I mean, he keeps giving them reasons.

  • Just like last week, when he let everyone know

  • that he's getting the band back together.

  • I called for a ban after San Bernardino,

  • and was met with great scorn and anger.

  • But many are saying that I was right to do so.

  • And although the pause is temporary,

  • we must find out what is going on.

  • We have to do it.

  • We have to stop people from pouring into our country.

  • -We have to stop it. -(applause and cheering)

  • Until we find out what the hell is going on.

  • Look, man, anyone who's been in a relationship will tell you

  • there's no such thing as a temporary ban.

  • You don't temporarily pause anything.

  • If someone ever tells you

  • that they want to take a temporary pause, you're single.

  • (laughter)

  • Yeah, Trump insists it's temporary.

  • It's like, what, after seven months,

  • he's gonna come and be like,

  • "Muslims, Muslims, it's cool now!

  • "I figured out what was going on!

  • "Come on back!

  • "It turns out there's a very small subset

  • "of radical Wahhabists who believe in violent jihad

  • "and that has nothing to do

  • "with the vast majority of peaceful Muslims.

  • Why didn't anyone tell me?!"

  • (cheers and applause)

  • It's...

  • It's obvious.

  • It's obvious why Trump is having such a tough month.

  • It's because

  • he won't stop saying crazy (bleep) all the time.

  • (laughter)

  • There was Trump's big thought

  • on how the Orlando shooting could have been stopped.

  • MAN: Trump endorsed by the National Rifle Association,

  • said that if some club-goers had been armed,

  • the tragedy could have been less horrific.

  • If some of those wonderful people had guns

  • strapped right here, right to their waist,

  • or right to their ankle,

  • and one of the people in that room happened to have it,

  • and goes "boom, boom," you know what?

  • That would have been a beautiful,

  • beautiful sight, folks.

  • (audience murmuring, groaning)

  • Boom, boom?

  • Right in the fore...?

  • I'm sorry, but if you ever think that someone being shot,

  • whether criminal or otherwise, can be described

  • as a beautiful, beautiful sight, you are one deranged (bleep).

  • (laughter, applause and cheering)

  • You're not describing... a killing.

  • You're describing a sunset.

  • Like, Donald Trump, what is wrong with you?

  • You know, now, Republicans who are really nervous

  • about Trump's candidacy do actually have another option.

  • You see, we found this out, but on Friday,

  • a former Trump advisor told Politico

  • that he thinks Donald Trump would drop out of the race

  • if someone offered him $150 million. Yeah.

  • Which, I know, sounds like a Kickstarter waiting to happen,

  • but... but... there's a catch.

  • I hear these, like, little rumors.

  • "He wants 150 million dol..." Do you believe this?

  • You could offer me five times that amount,

  • and I wouldn't do it.

  • One of the people was supposedly quoted,

  • "He might do it for $5 billion."

  • Now, for $5 billion, I guess we have to think about it, right?

  • (crowd laughter)

  • -(laughter) -Wha...?

  • What?

  • I love... I love how Trump's honesty always betrays him.

  • Yeah, he can't hold it in.

  • Because most politicians know, because it's fictional money,

  • you should turn it down in a sanctimonious manner

  • that makes you look patriotic.

  • You got to be like, "There's no amount of money

  • "that can buy my pride!

  • You can't buy America!"

  • And Trump's like, "Uh, yeah, you can.

  • Yeah. Yeah. Yeah."

  • Mr. Trump, what are you doing? It's fictional money!

  • It doesn't matter. All my money is fictional money.
