Rose also this evening two very Close Friends of donald trump talk about the man and his quest for the presidency. They are tom barrack and steven mnuchin. What i thought i would do is just give a reflection of the man as the messenger, not the message. The side of him that i have seen over ho years that people dont know for find it impossible to believe that he could be kind, compassionate, empathetic, all. Rose all things that you have seen. All things that i have seen, in those quiet moments when the cameras arent flashing, of who he really is as a man and can you trust the decisions of a man like that. And in this position. If you look at what donald trump has done to the party and his contribution in bringing new people to the party, its extraordinary. Last night just as an example, we did close to 4 million in online donations last night. A republican has never raised this type of money online. And it significant fies the extraordinary support. We have over 700,000 unique donors that we have had in the last few weeks and we just started this effort. I think you really see this is a movement. Rose we conclude with david sanger and ian bremmer analyzing a controversial interview that donald trump gave to the New York Times on wednesday when he talked about his foreign policies. Bob gates, his former defense secretary and defense secretary for president bush in his last major speech in europe, before he left as defense secretary, basically said if you dont begin to take your own share of the burden youre going to lose a generation of americans and others who have no memory of the cold war. And dont know why nato exists. But mr. Trump takes it the next step to say look, im not just saying here is the goal. It would be nice if you meet it. Im saying if you dont meet it, im pulling the troops back and i may not come to your defense. All about donald trump when we cont rose funding for charlie rose has been provided by the following and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and Information Services worldwide. Captioning sponsored by Rose Communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. Were in cleveland for the final day of the Republican National convention. Were taping this program ahead of Donald Trumps highly anticipated address this evening. The speech comes a day after ted cruz refused to endorse republican nominee, causing further rancor within the party or certainly between donald trump and ted cruz. Ted cruzs speech overshadowed the indiana governor, mike pence who accepted the Vice President ial nomination. Joining me now is tom barrack, he is the founder and executive chairman of connelly capital and a long time friend of Donald Trumps it is now 3 p. M. In cleveland on thursday. Later he will mount the podium and make a speech on behalf of his friend and then later this evening, donald trump himself will gived speech that is very important to this convention and to the image that he wants to present to the country. But welcome to the table we have here in cleveland. Tell me, i want to talk about your speech first. What do you want to say about donald trump . Well, you know, in seven minutes its a tough job. So what i thought i would do is just give a reflection of the man as the messenger, not the message, the side of him that i have seen over 40 years that people dont know or find it impossible to believe that he could be kind, compassionate, empathetic. All things youve seen. All things that i have seen in those quiet moments when the cameras arent flashing, of who he really is, as a man. And can you trust the decisions. Of a man like that in this position. And you want, how will you make that case . I can make it through some vin yets. Rose of stories. Of stories of invisible stories. Not the stories of his wealth or power or celebrityship, of those quiet things of humanity that ive seen him do that stuck in my minds afoot prints over all these years. When did he tell you he wanted to run for president the first time. You know donald, the first time, probably ten years ago. And you know, he is an amazing guy. Because when you think of it, theres a lot of powerful rich, accomplished businessmen who are never celebrities. And then he created the donald. Right. So as you know when he talks about himself hes talk income third person. He talks about the donald. Its the caricature that you created. And along that way, the human touch that he had was always endemic. So we started to talk about it almost a decade ago. But i always thought it was a negotiating tactic for his celebrity. And i think the last time it probably was in earnest. But i think as he gained selfconfidence and found this aggravation, this social imbalance, this little fuel that were seeing. Rose economic discontent. Yes. Rose since this year people are troubled and theyre looking to find something new, something beyond the establishment, something beyond the Political Party they have known. Exactly. And the social imbalance for him actually, people misread it. Hes not a trust fund guy. His dad was the son of two german immigrants and his mother was a scottish immigrant. So that was a selfmade man from queens, pretty tough on donald. So donalds Natural Alliance actually is with the little guy. So when you look at he is not a man of wall street. Hes not a man of finance, hes not really even a man of the real estate peer group. So i think that his. Rose he is . He is a disrupter. He is the airbnb to marriott. He is a man of his own. That can step into the middle of the fray and take the heat. And through his vision, create a reality. Its unusual. Rose he wants to be president because he thinks he can makena difference . Absolutely. He has. Rose im not talking ego, how much of it is look, thats. Thats a great question. And i really couldnt answer it. Im sure a lot of it is ego. You test yourself, right . I mean what sain person, a businessman of his ilk would walk through this fire and take all the punishment if there werent a couple of objectives. So im sure ego is one of them. That he thinks hes smart enough, tough enough, capable enough to get there. And on the other hand at the end of the day i think he really looks at im the beneficiary of an unbelievable system. He is so far over his skis from where he actually in his own mind thought he would ever get. Rose let me pause. He is so far over his skis in life. Yes. Rose than he ever thought he would ever be. For sure. Rose in terms of wealth, in terms of fame. And now perhaps in terms of political power. Exactly. Rose smart man . Very. Intripsically and academically. First class. He has all of those academic disciplines in his quiver. But uniquely instinctively smart. He has one of the best gut feels oneonone for people, sensing the situation. When we talk about the art of the deal. Ed art of the deal is a little whimsical. Hes incredibly prepared. And what people dont know is the detail level that he really draws on. Rose there is a central criticism of him, tom, that he is not given detail. That it is not detail. He says im the best negotiator. When i negotiate with the chinese, you know, i will create a better deal. It is not about the spervegs. He talked today a bit about nato. This morning in the New York Times. Raised questions as to why they are not paying their fair share. The companies remembered, were members of nato. Thats a valid criticism. President o bma has raised that criticism. But what also he said, which scares a lot of people, and maybe its the Foreign Policy establishment, and maybe he wants to scare them, but they hear that and they think well, america has to live up to its agreements. If it signed the nato agreement and if a baltic country is prepared for america to come defend them, they ought to be able to depend on that. And if america a is attacked, america ought to be able to expect natoo to come to its defense tooness look, its a tough topic. Let me give you my opinion of what i think hes doing. And its backed with some substance. Because i live in that world. My business as a finance year lives off trade and trade agreements mostly on an international basis. So the criticism of nato is not just his, its the hoover institute. Its also president obama. And it was born out of world war ii. So if you look at the marshal plan and looked at what happened to a destroyed europe, 17 million dead, 20 million injured, 30 million homes destroyed, and a europe in decay at a time where we were really concerned about the soviet union, so nato has nothing to do with north america. It has everything to do with europe. Rose it was in fact a defense against russia. Absolutely. And in turn. Rose the soviet union at the time. And then russia in turn five years later started the warsaw pact, as kind of a balance. So i think all donald is staying saying. And by the way hes academically pretty good. When i talked to him about it, about the facts. In other words, the initial reaction, he is just bowling, he is just positioning. He is not, he actually gets a lot of the substance. But i think what he is doing an all of these issues is sayk look, none of it is working. Because now you have bureaucracies. So you have nato. You have gap. You have the marshall plan. You have the wto. You have the imf. Nobody knows what any of these entities do. And why are we paying for them. Its all Foreign Policy, right . Its all Foreign Policy related. And our Foreign Policy doesnt work. So i think what hes doing in a smart way is saying look, im throwing a little bit of fire, and i know, into the frying pan. And people are going to be concerned. But them beings concerned is a good thing. Rose you are actually saying that while you think he understands the issues, he also understands the value of inflammatory rhetoric. Yes, absolutely. Rose he gets it. Totally. Rose because that will create a discussion. Yes. Rose and thats what he wants in the end. Exactly. Rose its what he came out of nshting tactics. Yes. You start not with what you think will you get. Sure, because youre when you go to negotiate with. Nato or with gat or with the world bank or the imf or the wto, theyre now huge bureaucracies themselves. Theyre not going to erode themselves. So i think at a time where were all sitting here saying there is no way out of entitlement, how do you reverse a budget for anything . And its not the president. The president is a con sil yaiter. He is an executive. Rose so when he has all these names in calling Hillary Clinton crooked, calling ted cruz lying ted cruz, and all the things that he said, and even what he said about swron mccain, does that have a purpose. Look, hes a friend so i can disagree with him. I dont personally like any of it. And the reason i dont like any of it is hes better than that. He doesnt need to go there. Rose so why does he go there . Because he caught on to something, this fishure in the American People that is against the grain that worked. So if he would have been president ial the way you and i would, and he can do it, by the way, the way you and i would have liked him to do it at the beginning, he would still be on the apprentice. He would not be he can only be where he is if he had done what he did. I believe. So and by the way, i think everybody in look, how can you say Hillary Clinton is not capable. I mean wesleyan, yale, two time she is amazingly accomplished it is simply a decision between status quo and disruption. Rose if you could define this election, thats what it is about. To me it is, 100 , status quo versus disruption. Rose which is in one word change. Yes, so status quo which is eroding and fading and nobody understands it. The problem is were all prisoners in our own prison. So when i sit down and talk to really smart people, not as smart as you, but that understand finance, but dont understand trade, or dont understand Foreign Policy, or dont understand the intervention of the central banks, right, were all captivated, living with 19 trillion of debt, we keep printing money and the debt is not secured by anything. Its too overwhelming for the average individual to think through. Right . We just cant figure out where it is. So i think hillary and ted and marco and all these people, they are all first class. They wouldnt have gotten to where they have gotten if they werent capable and competent and elegant and well meaning. But that is not how you characterize him. You are saying if you hadnt characterized him that way, he probably wouldnt have wong. I dont think so. The galvanizing use of language. It was his way around the club. Otherwise the political rhetoric and legacy would not allow him even in the room. So the only way he could get in the room was to knock the walls down. Which raises an interesting question for me. How much of it is said for effect and to get around and how much of it reflects who he is and what he believes . So this is my opinion. And he will be angry at me for saying this. Because if you ask him that question, he says its absolutely not for effect. Right. This is the way it is, im going to build a wall. Theyre going to pay for the wall, right . Im an arab american. Im a lebanese immigrant. Im the epitome. Rose of the american dream. Of the luck, the blind luck of the american dream. But im a catholic but i grew up with sunnies and shias. So i have this conversation with him. I say you are not really saying he says yes, i am really saying that i will stop them all until they help us. Now out of that half my life is spent in the middle east. I run a Public Company, and the Public Company has lots of private capital silos. And countries like abu dhabi and qatar, khalifa and the saudi arabia with the young pris. Are allies, they themselves are trapped by fundamentalism. And they need our help. But our Foreign Policy there has been waiving. When they are have a war in yemen and the iranians are backing one side and sawees are backing another and were funding both sides, its a bit confusing to them. So even they are saying okay, i get it. We first have to take responsibility for stopping this fundamentalism, this terrorism within our own borders. And it starts in the middle, the mosque. So if you have a mulea who is breaching that some 16 year old boy should strap on dynamite and walk through tel aviv or new york city, were going to hold you responsible. Rose were they actually preparing it over the internet. Right. So theyre all saying yes, we agree. But america has got to back us in this. If america backs us in this, otherwise well have fundamentalist revolutions ef everywhere. But they look and say we dont understand america. It starts with the shaw of iran was your person. I call it the catch and release program. Theyre our person so we dont want them. We remove the shaw of iran, bad situation. Iraq, same thing, saddam hussein, egypt, same thing. Libya, same thing. We just keep moving down the middle east. Rose so are you saying they dont know whether we are on their side and will stand up with them even though we have been their ally, whatever the instance is. Yeah sz and done. Rose donald trump says what . Donald trump says look, i dont care. You start taking care of your own. The good allies,ed ones who are there, right. And its mosesly the gcc who are there to help. And say and we will protect our allies and punish our enemies. So if you want to start helping us, on you cleaning your own house first, now syria is a mind bog elling problem. But its really that. Its predict ability on both sides. And amazingly, the arabs
