AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Mr. President, I agree with Brian, don't worry about it, our viewers are watching Fox and so they see this coverage, they're not reading The New York Times, but we know that you've destroyed their air defense systems, their radar, their Navy is at bottom of the ocean. We know that America is winning this fight, but when they destroy or they shoot down one of our Apache helicopters and we strike Iranian targets and then they fire missiles at our bases in Bahrain and Kuwait and Jordan, we have to fight back. So, when you say you don't think America has the appetite to do what we are seeing tonight, I think we do. I think we are ready to see this because like you said —
DONALD TRUMP (GUEST): Well, Ainsley part of the problem is that they read the fake news, I mean, because Fox is great, and — all the anchors on Fox have been fantastic from Sean to Jesse, Laura, I mean they have all been great, everybody, every single anchor has been great. You guys have been amazing and Trey Yingst is a superstar.
BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): No question.
TRUMP: He just covers so accurately. I don't know Trey Yingst, but, I mean, he covers it so accurately, it's so beautiful to watch, and he's got a level of excitement that's amazing. But the accuracy is so good, I just saw him on your show a little while ago, and I said that's exactly what is happening.
