  • And so, finally, all the combatants were in the arena.

  • Everyone was ready for the brawl.

  • Everyone was really waiting to see what Donald Trump would do.

  • Because, if you remember, Donald Trump skipped the last debate,

  • which is probably why you don't remember the last debate.

  • You see, Trump is the main attraction.

  • He's the T. rex in Jurassic Park.

  • (laughter)

  • And to see him in action, all you need to do

  • is leave out some poor little animal as bait.

  • Oh, no, I'm not sure that's the right...

  • If we can get some-- oh, yeah, that's better.

  • -Yeah, yeah, that'll do. That'll do. -(groaning)

  • It's funny how you guys were sadder for Jeb Bush...

  • (laughter)

  • ...than a goat that was about to be eaten.

  • So, one of the biggest issues on the debate night

  • between Jeb and Trump was eminent domain.

  • And for many conservatives, this is a hot-button issue.

  • Should the government be able to take private land

  • when they deem it necessary for the public good?

  • The Keystone Pipeline, without eminent domain,

  • it wouldn't go ten feet, okay?

  • You need eminent domain.

  • What Donald Trump did was use eminent domain

  • to try to take the property of an elderly woman

  • on the Strip in Atlantic City.

  • -(applause, cheering) -That is not public purpose.

  • That is downright wrong.

  • Jeb wants to be... he wants to be a tough guy.

  • He wants to be a tough guy tonight.

  • I didn't take the property.

  • -BUSH: And the net result was... -I-I didn't...

  • -You tried. And you lost in the courts. -I didn't take the...

  • Well, let me just... you know, he wants to be a tough guy.

  • A lot of times, you'll have...

  • you'll have-- and it doesn't work very well with him.

  • How tough is it to take... property from an elderly woman?

  • Let me talk. Let me talk. Quiet.

  • (audience gasping, groaning)

  • Oh...

  • Qu-Quiet, quiet, pipsqueak.

  • Talk to the tan.

  • (laughter)

  • That must have been the weirdest bar fight

  • I've ever seen in my life.

  • It was, like, two guys: "Hey, tough guy.

  • Oh, you want to be a tough guy? You looking at my girl?"

  • "No, no, I'm looking at your poorly considered thoughts

  • on eminent domain as it relates to common carrier projects."

  • "That's it! Let's take this outside!"

  • -A lot of times... -...to take property from an elderly woman?

  • Let me talk. Let me talk. Quiet.

  • -A lot of times... -How tough is it?

  • -a lot of times... -(audience jeering)

  • (jeering continues)

  • That's all of his donors

  • -and special interests out there. So... -(Bush laughing)

  • You know who has the tickets for the--

  • I'm talking about... to the television audience--

  • donors, special interests, the people that

  • -(audience jeering) -are putting up the money.

  • That's who it is.

  • -The reason they're not loving me... -(audience jeering)

  • the reason they're not-- excuse me--

  • the reason they're not loving me is I don't want their money.

  • This is insane. I love this.

  • You understand how crazy Donald Trump is?

  • Jeb Bush was like, "Fight me! Fight me!"

  • and Trump was like, "No! I need a challenge."

  • -(laughter) -And then he proceeded to fight the audience.

  • -The entire audience. -(applause)

  • If that's not presidential, I don't know what is, people.

  • (cheering, applause, whistling)

  • But even though everyone was waiting for Donald Trump,

  • the match that really surprised everybody

  • was the baby-faced thirst quencher, Marco Rubio,

  • versus the bridge-blocking bully, Governor Chris Christie.

  • Because, no, no, here's the setup.

  • Christie tanked in Iowa, making New Hampshire his last chance

  • to make himself the top alternative to Trump or Cruz,

  • but in order to do that, he'd have to beat Marco Rubio,

  • who came in third in Iowa.

  • So Chris Christie launched an accusation:

  • Rubio is an empty suit with canned lines.

  • I want the people at home to think about this.

  • That's what Washington, DC, does.

  • The memorized 25-second speech

  • -that is exactly what his advisors gave him. -(cheering)

  • All right, Rubio, all right, the challenge has been issued.

  • And now you have to prove him wrong.

  • And let's dispel once and for all with this fiction

  • that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing.

  • He knows exactly what he's doing.

  • I would add this-- let's dispel with this fiction

  • that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing.

  • He knows exactly what he's doing.

  • He is trying to change this country...

  • Here's the bottom line-- this notion that Barack Obama

  • -doesn't know what he's doing is just not true. -There it is.

  • -There it is, the memorized -He knows exactly what...

  • -25-second speech. -Well, that's the...

  • -There it is, everybody. -That's the reason why this...

  • Rubio, he's on to you! Switch up the play!

  • Just say anything else!

  • -The memorized 25-second speech. -Well, that's the reason

  • -There it is, everybody. -why this campaign is so important.

  • Because I think this notion...

  • I think this is an important point.

  • We have to understand what we're going through here.

  • We are not facing a president

  • that doesn't know what he's doing.

  • -He knows what he is doing. -(audience groans)

  • He lost it. He lost it. First of all,

  • he's saying Barack Obama knows what he's doing.

  • Let's just take a second to accept that.

  • -(cheering, applause) -He's just, like, a little...

  • That's the first thing.

  • And, uh, secondly, Chris Christie called Rubio out

  • on the fact that he mindlessly repeats talking points

  • like a stump-speech robot, and Rubio's reply was,

  • (robotically): "Beep, boop, beep, boop.

  • Beep, boop. I am hu-man. Beep, boop, beep, boop."

  • He got exposed.

  • Marco Rubio got (bleep) so hard,

  • he had to take Chris Christie to Red Lobster.

  • -(laughter, cheering, applause) -Like...

  • (cheering, whistling)

  • Oh... oh, man.

  • Look...

  • Senator Rubio, it's time for you to take a page

  • out of Dr. Carson's book.

  • (laughter)

  • Next time there's a debate, take a moment...

  • and think about not coming out.

  • -(laughter, applause) -But for now...

  • go home, get some fresh clothes,

And so, finally, all the combatants were in the arena.
