>>> AND NOW THE CNN TRUMP TOWN HALL LIVE FROM COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA. >>> HELLO, EVERYONE. HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, AND WELCOME TO SOUTH CAROLINA. WE ARE YOUR HOSTS TONIGHT. I'M CHARLES BARKLEY. >> AND I AM GAYLE KING. AND WE'RE THE COHOSTS OF A REAL CNN SHOW THAT COMBINES OUR TWO NAMES, KING CHARLES. >> YEAH. I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE GAY BAR. BUT THEN I WAS TOLD THAT THAT WAS TERRIBLE. >> YES. TONIGHT, THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA WILL ASK FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP QUESTIONS ABOUT IMPORTANT ISSUES AFFECTING THEIR LIVES. >> AND I'LL ASK MYSELF QUESTIONS LIKE CAN YOU BET ON A TOWN HALL. YOU SURE CAN ON FANDUEL. >> NOW, PLEASE WELCOME THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. >> HE'S BEEN AROUND THE COURT MORE THAN ME, AND I WAS IN THE NBA. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE FEW OF YOU WHO ARE APPLAUDING. I LOVE BEING HERE IN THE GREAT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. FRANKLY ONE OF THE TOP TWO CAROLINAS. SOUTH CAROLINA, THE FIRST STATE TO SECEDE FROM THE UNION, AND NOT THE LAST, I THINK. GOING TO SEE A LOT OF THAT WHEN I WIN. 50 STATES IS WAY TOO MANY. I THINK WE COULD GET IT BACK DOWN TO 12 OR 13 AGAIN. >> WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, MAN? THAT'S THE DUMBEST THING I'VE HEARD, AND I WORK WITH SHAQ. >> OUR FIRST QUESTION TONIGHT COMES FROM AN AUTO WORKER AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT FOR VOLVO. >> WHICH IS ALSO THE MEDICAL TERM FOR HOO-HA. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP, I VOTED FOR YOU IN 2016 AND 2020. >> WOW, YOU FELL FOR IT TWICE. >> WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT JOE BIDEN THIS TIME? >> WELL, I THINK I'M DOING EVEN BETTER THIS TIME IN TERMS OF HISPANIC. I LIKE TO SAY I PUT THE PANIC IN HISPANIC. PEOPLE ARE SICK OF HAVING AN ALLEGED CRIMINAL LIKE JOE BIDEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE. THEY WANT A CONVICTED CRIMINAL. SOMEONE THEY CAN TRUST TO GET THE CRIMES DONE RIGHT. >> SOMEHOW THAT'S WHAT I WANTED >> YOU KEEP DOING YOU, HOMEY. >> YEAH. NEXT WE HAVE A SINGLE MOM WHO'S CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED. >> WOW. GUYS ARE GOING TO BE LINING UP AFTER THAT DESCRIPTION. PRESIDENT TRUMP, IF ELECTED, WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO STOP TAYLOR SWIFT FROM INFILTRATING THE SUPER BOWL AND STEALING THE ELECTION? >> YOU KNOW, THANK YOU. THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE SMARTEST AND MOST RESEARCHED QUESTIONS I THINK POSSIBLY EVER. YOU KNOW, WE ALL KNOW THAT BIDEN HAS BRAINWASHED TAY-TAY. THEY'RE USING HER IN SOMETHING CALLING CYOPS, STARTED WITH THE GREAT RAPPER CY. TOLD ME HE NEEDED A NEW STYLE. I SAID WHAT ABOUT GANGHAM. NOW THEY'VE GOT TAY-TAY PRETENDING TO DATE TRAY DAY. HE CAN'T EVEN GET TAYLOR TICKETS NEAR THE FIELD. HE'S GOT HER WAY UP IN A LITTLE BOX. SO SAD. >> I'M SORRY. HOW EXACTLY WILL TAYLOR SWIFT BEING AT THE SUPER BOWL MAKE BIDEN WIN THE ELECTION? >> THE CLUES ARE ALL THERE IF YOU LOOK AT THE MIDNIGHTS TRACK LIST. THE RAVENS WERE THERE BUT GOT CAUGHT BY THE CHIEFS. PAUL RUDD WHO'S FROM WHERE, KANSAS CITY. THE NEXT FOUR SONGS CONTAIN EXACTLY 49 LETTERS PLUS E-R-S, 49ers. IT WILL BE KARMA FOR SWEET NOTHING, AKA, BIDEN'S BRAIN, THAT THE MASTERMIND BEHIND IT ALL WILL OF COURSE BE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. THAT ALL ADDS UP TO, BING, BING, BING, BONG, ANOTHER STOLEN ELECTION, TAYLOR'S VERSION. >> MY GOD. I WAS SKEPTICAL AT FIRST, BUT NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE. >> OUR NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM SOMEONE WHO SAYS HE REALLY, REALLY LIKES PRESIDENT TRUMP TIMES A MILLION. SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR, TIM SCOTT. >> HEY, DONALD, IT'S ME. YOUR BEST FRIEND, TIM SCOTT. I FLEW ALL THE WAY TO NEW HAMPSHIRE TO ENDORSE YOU. REMEMBER? >> VAGUELY. >> I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION. I HAVE A STATEMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY YOU ARE THE BESTEST MOST HANDSOMEST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE I'VE EVER SEEN. I LOOK AT YOU AND THINK, IS THAT HOT LINCOLN? >> THAT'S A LITTLE MUCH EVEN FOR ME. TIM SCOTT, EVERYBODY. HE'S A LOT LIKE SCOTT TOILET PAPER. THERE'S NOT MUCH THERE, YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH IT, BUT IT'S BETTER THAN NOTHING. >> OKAY. OUR NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM SOMEONE WHO DESCRIBES HERSELF AS A CONCERNED SOUTH CAROLINA VOTER. >> YES. HELLO. [ APPLAUSE ] MY QUESTION IS WHY WON'T YOU DEBATE NIKKI HALEY? >> OH, MY GOD. IT'S HER. THE WOMAN WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF SECURITY ON JANUARY 6th. IT'S NANCY PELOSI. >> FOR THE 100th TIME, THAT IS NOT NANCY PELOSI. IT IS NIKKI HALEY. >> ARE YOU DOING OKAY, DONALD? YOU MIGHT NEED A MENTAL COMPETENCY TEST. >> I TOOK THE TEST AND I ACED IT. PERFECT SCORE. THEY SAID I'M 100% MENTAL. I'M CONFIDENT BECAUSE I'M A MAN. THAT'S WHY WOMEN SHOULD NEVER RUN OUR ECONOMY. WOMEN SHOULD NEVER RUN OUR COUNTRY. A WOMAN I KNOW ASKED ME FOR $83.3 MILLION. >> AND YOU SPENT $50 MILLION IN YOUR OWN LEGAL FEES. DO YOU NEED TO BORROW SOME MONEY? >> OH, NIKKI, DON'T DO THIS. NIKKI, DON'T LOSE THAT NUMBER. NIKKI HALEY JOEL OSMENT WE CALL HER. REMEMBER THE SIXTH SENSE? I SEE DEAD PEOPLE. >> THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WILL SAY IF THEY SEE YOU AND JOE ON THE BALLOT. >> THAT'S NOT VERY NICE, NIKKI. IT'S NOT NICE. AND I'M ALWAYS VERY NICE TO YOU EXCEPT FOR WHEN I'M IMPLYING YOU WEREN'T BORN IN THIS COUNTRY, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA AND NOW I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU IN YOUR STATE. >> AND DID YOU WIN YOUR HOME STATE IN THE LAST ELECTION? >> I WON STATEN ISLAND AND THE PARTS OF LONG ISLAND WHERE THE FIST FIGHTS HAPPEN, WHERE THEY GET OUT OF THE CARS IF YOU HONK AT THEM. I LOVE MY WORLD STAR WHITES. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, THAT IS A NEW ONE ON ME. OKAY. WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE MORE QUESTION, AND IT'S ACTUALLY FOR AMBASSADOR HALEY. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> I WAS JUST CURIOUS, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY WAS THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE CIVIL WAR, AND DO YOU THINK IT STARTS WITH AN S AND ENDS WITH A LAVERY? >> YEP. I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT THE FIRST TIME, AND LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT.
