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.
