TRADITION FOR QUITE SOME TIME WITH TALK ABOUT TV RATINGS,

BECAUSE NOTHING IS MORE CHRISTIAN THAN COMPETITION IN

REGARD TO TV RATINGS.

HE HAD TO STEP DOWN FROM THE APPRENTICE

BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT HE IS

NOW THE PRESIDENT.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER TOOK HIS PLACE.

AND APPARENTLY THE RATINGS HAVE BEEN LACKLUSTER.

TAKE A LOOK.

>>WE HAD TREMENDOUS SUCCESS ON THE APPRENTICE.

WHEN I RAN FOR

PRESIDENT I HAD TO LEAVE THE

SHOW.

THAT IS WHAT I KNEW FOR SURE I WAS DOING IT. AND THEY

HIRED A BIG MOVIE STAR, ARNOLD

SCHWARZENEGGER TO TAKE MY PLACE.

AND WE KNOW HOW THAT TURNED OUT.

THE RATINGS WENT RIGHT DOWN THE TUBES, IT'S BEEN A TOTAL

DISASTER AND MARK WILL NEVER, EVER BET AGAINST TRUMP AGAIN.

I

WANT TO JUST PRAY FOR ARNOLD IF WE CAN FOR THOSE RATINGS, OKAY?

>> THAT IS AMAZING.

IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN FOLLOWING POLITICS, AND

NOW YOU ARE WATCHING FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE NATIONAL PRAYER

BREAKFAST IS A SOLEMN, SERIOUS OCCASION.

IT'S NOT WHERE YOU

MAKE JOKES ABOUT TV RATINGS.

I GUESS TO TRUMP'S CREDIT, HE HAS

MADE EVERYTHING MORE ENTERTAINING.

IF HILLARY CLINTON

HAD GONE ON IT WOULD'VE BEEN INTENSELY DULL.

SHE WOULD'VE HAD

A VERY SERIOUS PRAYER ABOUT

TAKING CARE OF THE NEEDY AND YADA YADA.

TRUMP GOES IN THERE

AND SAYS WHO CARES ABOUT THE

NEEDY ARE THE POOR?

LET'S TALK ABOUT ME AND THE RATINGS I USED

TO GET!

MARK BURNETT IS A PRODUCER OF APPRENTICE AND IS

VERY CHRISTIAN ñ HE CARES A LOT ABOUT IT, HE DONATES TO

CHRISTIAN GROUPS.

TRUMP CAN'T HELP HIMSELF HE SEES MARK

BURNETT AND SAYS THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO RUB IT IN. IS THAT A

THING A CHRISTIAN DOES?

>>I'M MORE POPULAR THAN YOU ARE.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

AS IT TURNS OUT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A PLOY TO GET

APPRENTICES NUMBERS UP.

WHY?

DONALD TRUMP IS STILL THE

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF THE SHOW.

ISN'T THAT AMAZING?

HE STILL

MAKES MONEY FROM THE SHOW.

SO HE GOES TO A THING THAT IS SUPER

SERIOUS, AND HE IS SERVING HIS OWN SELF INTEREST.

HE GETS TO

TALK SMACK AGAINST ARNOLD, WHAT

SHE WANTS TO DO ANYWAY.

TWO, IT MIGHT INCREASE THE RATINGS OF A

THING HE IS GOING TO MAKE MONEY

FROM.

>>THAT IS NOT A FAR-FETCHED HYPOTHESIS, CONSIDERING THE FACT

THAT THERE ARE NOW SUBTLE ADS IN EVERY PRESS CONFERENCE AND

COMMUNICATION FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.

JUST TODAY, SEAN SPICER

GAVE A PRESS CONFERENCE AND OPENED IT BY TALKING ABOUT MARA

LAGO, HOW THAT IS TRUMPS WINTER WHITE HOUSE RESORT.

THEY JUST

INCREASED THE ANNUAL FEE TO $200,000 FROM A HUNDRED THOUSAND

DOLLARS.

SUBTLE HINTS, TRUMP IS

GOING TO BE THERE.

200,000.

WE ARE GOING TO GET THESE SUBTLE

ADS, AND I GUESS THAT IS WHAT WE GET IT.

>>THE FUNNY THING IS ARNOLD RESPONDED.

THE LAST TIME TRUMP

TOOK A DIG AT HIM, ARNOLD CAME BACK WITHIN A MATTER OF MINUTES.

EITHER HE IS WATCHING THE NEWS

RELIGIOUSLY, OR MAYBE HE KNEW TRUMP WAS GOING TO SAY

SOMETHING?

>>IT HAPPENED QUICKLY.

MINUTES LATER SCHWARZENEGGER RESPONDED

IN A 15 SECOND VIDEO AND POSTED TO HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT.

HERE IS THE VIDEO FOR YOU.

>> HEY DONALD, I HAVE A GREAT IDEA.

WHY DON'T WE SWITCH JOBS.

YOU TAKE OVER TV, BECAUSE YOU'RE

SUCH AN EXPERT IN RATINGS.

AND I TAKE OVER YOUR SHOW, AND THEN

PEOPLE CAN FINALLY SLEEP

COMFORTABLY AGAIN.

>> THEY DEFINITELY PLANNED IT.

A COUPLE OF MINUTES AFTER HE SAYS

IT?

HE HAS IT READY AND A CAMERA PERSON THERE?

IF IT WAS

IMPROMPTU, I HEAR YOU.

NO, THEY

PLANNED IT.

AMAZING.

THE NATIONAL PRAYER BREAKFAST, THE

MOST SERIOUS THING YOU CAN GO

TO.

THEY TURNED IT INTO A TV GIMMICK.

THIS IS OLD SCHOOL

WRESTLING.

THIS IS HOW TRUMP USED TO RISE IN FAME.

HE HAD A

BEEF WITH ROSIE O'DONNELL, AND THEN HE SMASHED A COCONUT OVER

HER HEAD.

NOW WITH ARNOLD SHORTENING HER, THE FAKE BEEF.

THE APPRENTICE RATINGS ARE IN THE TANK, AND HE MAKES MONEY

FROM IT, HE NEEDS IT TO GO UP.

REMEMBER HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING FOR YOU.

HE IS NOT DOING THAT, HE IS WORKING FOR HIMSELF.

>>WELL, HE'S GOING TO MAKE AN EXTRA BUCK.
