Howard Stern

00:00:00 - 00:00:03 (4 sec)

And I guess it's like kind of like cut off the blood supply to the brain.

Robin Quivers

00:00:03 - 00:00:09 (6 sec)

No, no, no. It's severed an artery when she -- that violent move broke the artery.

Howard Stern

00:00:09 - 00:00:10 (1 sec)

Couldn't they fix it.

Robin Quivers

00:00:10 - 00:00:14 (3 sec)

They didn't know that it. Because it's in her neck, not in her head.

Howard Stern

00:00:14 - 00:00:20 (7 sec)

They didn't know about it because where was she in the hospital? What -- what -- what state is she in?

Robin Quivers

00:00:20 - 00:00:22 (1 sec)

Ohio. That's why.

Howard Stern

00:00:22 - 00:00:27 (5 sec)

Robin Quivers

00:01:15 - 00:01:16 (0 sec)

And what happened?

Howard Stern

00:01:16 - 00:01:20 (5 sec)

00:01:29 - 00:01:31 (1 sec)

Half a million dollars?

Donald Trump

00:01:31 - 00:01:40 (9 sec)

But by the time I finished reading the proposal I said, boy this is going to be -- let's hire Mike Tyson I think it might be cheaper.

Howard Stern

00:01:40 - 00:01:47 (7 sec)

You know, I got to tell you something. I knew this was gonna happen. I talked to Donald Trump I said, I just need a place to hold this. I got to raise a hundred grand to pay off John and we're done.

Donald Trump

00:01:47 - 00:01:58 (12 sec)

I will do that with you. I'll do the $100,000 for John. But you know, Actually what happened, and first of all, it's very bad news about Pam Anderson that is really bad.

Robin Quivers

00:01:58 - 00:01:59 (1 sec)

Wait minute does she look hot to you?

Howard Stern

00:01:59 - 00:02:00 (1 sec)

Would you do her still now?

Donald Trump

00:02:00 - 00:02:02 (2 sec)

Howard Stern

00:02:02 - 00:02:04 (2 sec)

No way. Me neither.

John Melendez

00:02:04 - 00:02:06 (2 sec)

That's the way to go, man.

Robin Quivers

00:02:06 - 00:02:11 (5 sec)

Howard Stern

00:02:11 - 00:02:11 (0 sec)

00:02:11 - 00:02:18 (7 sec)

Well, you know, right now I have to go with Whoopi.

John Melendez

00:02:18 - 00:02:20 (1 sec)

And Robin, that's Donald Trump.

Donald Trump

00:02:20 - 00:02:24 (4 sec)

It's a terrible thing. It's a sad -- You know, it's a terrible thing but what?

Robin Quivers

00:02:24 - 00:02:25 (2 sec)

All right. Wait a minute if it's Rosie O'Donnell and Pam Anderson who do you do?

Howard Stern

00:02:25 - 00:02:26 (0 sec)

Rosie O'Donnell.

Donald Trump

00:02:26 - 00:02:27 (1 sec)

You know you have to go for life.

Howard Stern

00:02:27 - 00:02:28 (1 sec)

Yeah.

Donald Trump

00:02:28 - 00:02:31 (3 sec)

You have to go for life. [Inaudible]

Robin Quivers

00:02:31 - 00:02:32 (1 sec)

You're doing Rosie O'Donnell?

Donald Trump

00:02:32 - 00:02:35 (3 sec)

I'm still having a good time with life. I want to live.

Howard Stern

00:02:35 - 00:02:41 (6 sec)

Yeah. And yeah, you're having a nice life. But the thing is what is the story on this Hepatitis C, how do you get it?

Donald Trump

00:02:41 - 00:02:56 (15 sec)

Well, I was watching something last night because you know one thing she has made people aware of what this is all about and it sounds to me like it's just a disaster. It is dormant in the body and then one day when it comes out you're liver goes and you either die or get a transplant and then it attacks your transplant.

Robin Quivers

00:02:56 - 00:02:57 (0 sec)

Right.

Donald Trump

00:02:57 - 00:02:59 (2 sec)

So it's not like a great thing to have.

Robin Quivers

00:02:59 - 00:03:00 (1 sec)

It never goes away.

Donald Trump

00:03:00 - 00:03:01 (1 sec)

And there's really no cure.

Robin Quivers

00:03:01 - 00:03:04 (2 sec)

We've got to get it through blood transmission.

Donald Trump

00:03:04 - 00:03:06 (2 sec)

I get it somehow, but it's like a disaster.

Howard Stern

00:03:06 - 00:03:08 (2 sec)

So if you bang a chick without a rubber you can get it.

Robin Quivers

00:03:08 - 00:03:08 (0 sec)

Yes.

Donald Trump

00:03:08 - 00:03:12 (4 sec)

Well I think you can get it in a lot of different ways but you can get it that way.

Robin Quivers

00:03:12 - 00:03:13 (1 sec)

So is Kid Rock freaking out now?

Howard Stern

00:03:13 - 00:03:15 (2 sec)

What do you think Kid Rock doing right now?

Donald Trump

00:03:15 - 00:03:16 (1 sec)

Very nervous rocker.

Howard Stern

00:03:16 - 00:03:20 (3 sec)

You do. Have you spoken with him because you obviously know all the famous people?

Donald Trump

00:03:20 - 00:03:25 (5 sec)

I know a lot of people but I haven't spoken to him and I haven't exactly brought up the subject.

Robin Quivers

00:03:25 - 00:03:30 (5 sec)

But wait a minute. What if -- All right. You're in -- You almost wound up there, Howard you were trying.

Howard Stern

00:03:30 - 00:03:31 (1 sec)

I was trying to get -- I --

Donald Trump

00:03:31 - 00:03:35 (3 sec)

Did you get lucky you got one, Howard?

Howard Stern

00:03:35 - 00:03:36 (1 sec)

I did for one scotch [Inaudible]

Robin Quivers

00:03:36 - 00:03:43 (7 sec)

Suppose you have gotten all the way there on one night thing,, you two were just out having a good time. And then you read this in the paper today.

Howard Stern

00:03:43 - 00:03:43 (0 sec)

What do you do?

Robin Quivers

00:03:43 - 00:03:43 (0 sec)

What do you do?

Gary Dell'Abate

00:03:43 - 00:03:56 (13 sec)

That's like when Magic Johnson announced he had AIDS there's got to be thousands of women all over the country going to the doctor.

Howard Stern

00:03:56 - 00:04:03 (7 sec)

Right. [Inaudible] You know what I would do? I wouldn't go to the doctor. I would just like, I would just be in full denial. The hell I mean I.

Robin Quivers

00:04:03 - 00:04:04 (1 sec)

It will never happen.

Howard Stern

00:04:04 - 00:04:05 (1 sec)

How do you know it?

Gary Dell'Abate

00:04:05 - 00:04:10 (5 sec)

You don't it. Ralph would give you a slimmer. You know what I mean, he'll do it in a second for you.

Howard Stern

00:04:10 - 00:04:19 (9 sec)

He better. Now, let's get back to the fight. So, I know what's going to happen Tom is dealing with Donald Trump and he's going to ruin my relationship with Donald Trump.

Robin Quivers

00:04:19 - 00:04:21 (1 sec)

How has it been for you Donald, talking to Tom?

Donald Trump

00:04:21 - 00:04:23 (2 sec)

Well he's a good businessman. You're well represented.

Howard Stern

00:04:23 - 00:04:24 (2 sec)

No. I know but he's not representing me.

Donald Trump

00:04:24 - 00:04:35 (10 sec)

I didn't have time to read the entire proposal it was so long but it was -- it was great. And you know I respect Tom for trying, but you know, I don't want to have the Tyson fight right now.

Gary Dell'Abate

00:04:35 - 00:04:35 (1 sec)

Hey, Howard.

Howard Stern

00:04:35 - 00:04:42 (7 sec)

You know what Donald let me tell you something. Here's my -- here's my problem. All I did was go on the -- I got two guys want a box, they go, hey this a good radio bet.

Robin Quivers

00:04:42 - 00:04:43 (1 sec)

We want to make it happen.

Donald Trump

00:04:43 - 00:04:44 (0 sec)

I agree.

Howard Stern

00:04:44 - 00:05:07 (24 sec)

If I did the radio bet right here in the studio Tom wouldn't be involved. I just need to go somewhere. When I say I need to go somewhere,Tom gets involved. I should take him out of the whole thing. Just do my radio show from the Taj Mahal tomorrow with Donald. We go there we charge what $200 bucks a seat that's $100 grand for -- for John and then we have the fight and it's over.

Donald Trump

00:05:07 - 00:05:59 (51 sec)

You know I've had it in Atlantic City. Howard, in Atlantic City I've had all the big fights. I've had, you know the biggest ones, I've had Tyson-Spanx. I've had a lot of the really big ones and the most recent ones. And when negotiating to some very big ones The Taj Mahal finished number one in Atlantic City this year or last year. And you know it's been doing great. And I heard this the other day because I do listen and I heard it I said that's a great idea. So I called up Howard and I said, Howard I'd do whatever you need, you know. And then I got this proposal for like, unbelievable. But, and Howard there is no -- it will not destroy our relationship but I will put up $100,000 for John and I agree with you I think John's going to be pretty tough. H Well, I think John has got a certain craze in his eyes. I watched that on television where he went after A. J. Yes. And I think -- I think there's a certain craziness about John that's very interesting.

Robin Quivers

00:05:59 - 00:06:00 (1 sec)

You haven't seen Crazy Cabbie, come on.

Howard Stern

00:06:00 - 00:06:02 (2 sec)

There's another thing look there too.

Gary Dell'Abate

00:06:02 - 00:06:07 (5 sec)

Donald's [Inaudible] a little nice at a time [Inaudible] is he crazy?

Donald Trump

00:06:07 - 00:06:15 (8 sec)

He's got a crazed look when he gets angry. And I've seen that before in people and o pretty effective look.

Howard Stern

00:06:15 - 00:06:24 (9 sec)

Let me tell you something Donald. You have been nice enough to offer the Trump Taj Mahal to this fight. I don't -- listen --

Robin Quivers

00:06:24 - 00:06:27 (4 sec)

It would be a great idea to go to Atlantic City.

Donald Trump

00:06:27 - 00:06:28 (1 sec)

You'l have a great time.

Howard Stern

00:06:28 - 00:06:34 (6 sec)

Once you get involved Tom it's going to turn into a whole big rigamarole. All I want to do is go watch the fight and broadcast from there.

Robin Quivers

00:06:34 - 00:06:36 (2 sec)

And have some people around that have a good time with them.

Donald Trump

00:06:36 - 00:06:40 (4 sec)

We'll have a lot of fun. We have an arena that seats 5,000 people haven't packed.

Howard Stern

00:06:40 - 00:06:41 (0 sec)

I've got to tell you something --

John Melendez

00:06:41 - 00:06:42 (1 sec)

That would be great.

Howard Stern

00:06:42 - 00:06:42 (1 sec)

I don't think it's going to happen.

Robin Quivers

00:06:42 - 00:06:43 (1 sec)

No.

Howard Stern

00:06:43 - 00:06:52 (10 sec)

Not at Trump Taj. I think we're going to have to do it right here in the studio. I'll build a ring. That's easiest way for me to get it done.

John Melendez

00:06:52 - 00:06:54 (2 sec)

The TaJ is a great place man.

Howard Stern

00:06:54 - 00:06:55 (1 sec)

What can I do. I'm dealing with Tom.

Robin Quivers

00:06:55 - 00:06:57 (2 sec)

We've got this albatross called Tom.

John Melendez

00:06:57 - 00:07:01 (3 sec)

Howard. Five thousand fans and it be an incredible party.

Donald Trump

00:07:01 - 00:07:17 (17 sec)

You know John came down this summer with his friends and he was an act at Trump Marina and he did great. I mean, he sold out the place. It was it was really fantastic. I mean everybody's still talking about it. But I think the fight it could have been on it. I love the fights and I think it could maybe be more interesting.

Robin Quivers

00:07:17 - 00:07:22 (5 sec)

Donald was so impressed with the Stuttering John that he wound up having breakfast.

Howard Stern

00:07:22 - 00:07:23 (1 sec)

Yeah. We had brunch.

Donald Trump

00:07:23 - 00:07:28 (4 sec)

Actually, [Inaudible]. I met his wife was lovely and it was a lot of fun.

John Melendez

00:07:28 - 00:07:29 (1 sec)

Your girlfriend is quite a hottie

Donald Trump

00:07:29 - 00:07:39 (10 sec)

You know what, you did a great job the night before. I mean the place was totally packed. I mean you couldn't get it. It was totally sold out and his whole group did a great job.

Howard Stern

00:07:39 - 00:07:41 (3 sec)

I can't believe you had breakfast with stuttering John.

Robin Quivers

00:07:41 - 00:07:42 (1 sec)

Amazing.

Donald Trump

00:07:42 - 00:07:44 (2 sec)

Well that's only because I didn't go to his performance that night.

John Melendez

00:07:44 - 00:07:46 (2 sec)

That's got to be a low point though.

Howard Stern

00:07:46 - 00:07:49 (2 sec)

That beautiful girlfriend of yours, I mean,

Robin Quivers

00:07:49 - 00:07:49 (1 sec)

He's sticking with her.

Donald Trump

00:07:49 - 00:07:53 (3 sec)

You're sticking with -- I never though -- I never thought of it. You know why? Because you didn't marry her.

John Melendez

00:07:53 - 00:07:55 (2 sec)

What if he got hepatitis C, Donald.

Donald Trump

00:07:55 - 00:07:55 (1 sec)

Melania.

Howard Stern

00:07:55 - 00:07:56 (0 sec)

Melania.

Gary Dell'Abate

00:07:56 - 00:08:08 (13 sec)

Can I hear a great story about John and Donald Trump. They go back a long way because Don has been a big fan of John since the Channel 9 show. And we were on Channel 9 John was down at one of Mr. Trump's properties. And Mr. Trump said, you know what John? Everything is on me.

Donald Trump

00:08:08 - 00:08:12 (3 sec)

So now when everything on you, do you go and go crazy spending?

Howard Stern

00:08:12 - 00:08:14 (2 sec)

No. He will be gentleman. [Inaudible]

Gary Dell'Abate

00:08:14 - 00:08:20 (6 sec)

John ordered, he wanted his and her massages for him and his girlfriend. I think he took the robes. I know he order champagne.

John Melendez

00:08:20 - 00:08:25 (5 sec)

I didn't take the robes. I hate champagne. Gary's a fabrication.

Gary Dell'Abate

00:08:25 - 00:08:28 (2 sec)

Did you order his or her massages.

John Melendez

00:08:28 - 00:08:30 (2 sec)

I don't. I got a massage and that's it.

Howard Stern

00:08:30 - 00:08:31 (1 sec)

Liar. [Inaudible]

Gary Dell'Abate

00:08:31 - 00:08:32 (1 sec)

You we're telling me --

Robin Quivers

00:08:32 - 00:08:33 (2 sec)

Was this the reason Donald --

Howard Stern

00:08:33 - 00:08:38 (5 sec)

When Donald Trump had a slump it was Stuttering John compensates himself in the hotel.

Gary Dell'Abate

00:08:38 - 00:08:42 (3 sec)

John's a drink he went to the mini bar. Maybe you tell him. You got a lot of things.

John Melendez

00:08:42 - 00:08:44 (3 sec)

I'd probably drink beer than [Inaudible] But, by the way, Donald.

Gary Dell'Abate

00:08:44 - 00:08:46 (1 sec)

You ordered some nice dinner up to your room.

John Melendez

00:08:46 - 00:08:48 (3 sec)

I probably drink some beer in the mini bar.

Gary Dell'Abate

00:08:48 - 00:08:50 (2 sec)

A battle's goes on for every Trump card key.

Howard Stern

00:08:50 - 00:08:54 (4 sec)

Yeah. What else do you put on there.

Gary Dell'Abate

00:08:54 - 00:08:57 (3 sec)

What do you do when you don't date her anymore?

Robin Quivers

00:08:57 - 00:08:59 (3 sec)

Hey, those things change all the time.

Howard Stern

00:08:59 - 00:09:02 (2 sec)

Please. Donald, you think you'll stick on this one?

Donald Trump

00:09:02 - 00:09:05 (3 sec)

Yes. She is a great girl. We've had a very good relationship, two and a half years.

Howard Stern

00:09:05 - 00:09:06 (1 sec)

Can't believe it.

Donald Trump

00:09:06 - 00:09:10 (4 sec)

No. She's been good. Well, listen. Are we doing this fight?

Howard Stern

00:09:10 - 00:09:12 (2 sec)

I'm going to go talk to Tommy after I speak to you.

Donald Trump

00:09:12 - 00:09:14 (1 sec)

Can you speak to Tom and let me know.

Howard Stern

00:09:14 - 00:09:17 (3 sec)

All right. It's very hard for me to speak with him, I need an interpreter.

Donald Trump

00:09:17 - 00:09:29 (12 sec)

Taj is number one in Atlantic City that's where to do it. And we have the arena we have everything set up. It's all ready. I'm going to get to work on it. Okay, Howard thanks to have fun.

Howard Stern

00:09:29 - 00:09:32 (3 sec)

That is Mr. Donald Trump worth a billion dollars conservatively.

Robin Quivers

00:09:32 - 00:09:33 (1 sec)

I don't know billion.

Howard Stern

00:09:33 - 00:09:35 (2 sec)

Just sold the Empire State Building for $54 million.

Robin Quivers

00:09:35 - 00:09:37 (2 sec)

But he has to split that with his investors.

Gary Dell'Abate

00:09:37 - 00:09:38 (1 sec)

Did he even own it?

Howard Stern

00:09:38 - 00:09:39 (0 sec)

Yeah.

Robin Quivers

00:09:39 - 00:09:40 (1 sec)

He owned the land.

Gary Dell'Abate

00:09:40 - 00:09:40 (1 sec)

Cause that would've been brilliant.

John Melendez

00:09:40 - 00:09:43 (3 sec)

You know the wildest thing is you know you predicted this would happen.

Howard Stern

00:09:43 - 00:09:49 (6 sec)

I told you it would never happen. I said Tom will ruin my relationship with Donald Trump.

Robin Quivers

00:09:49 - 00:09:52 (3 sec)

Certainly made you look stupid. Yes.

Howard Stern

00:09:52 - 00:10:06 (14 sec)

Donald called me and -- Listen I'll do it at my place and you need a place to hold it will be fun. And you know, I'll come up with $100 grand. Oh, great, thank you Donald. I'll tell Tom we'll get it all right. I really didn't need Tom involved but I have to go through my --

John Melendez

00:10:06 - 00:10:08 (2 sec)

What's the big problem why can't they Just get you out.
