“He was the first one to say to me, ‘Dad, boy, you got lucky.’ I didn’t realize that 130 yards is very short, in that jargon. He said you got lucky. He said it’s unbelievable,” he said.
Commenting on the shooter’s capabilities, Trump said: “He was supposedly not a bad shot. He was a very disturbed guy, but he was not a bad shot.”

“Cocaine will turn you into a fucking owl, man. You’ll be your own lamppost,” Von said. “It’s a horrible feeling, but you do it anyway.”
For the rest of the podcast, the two discussed healthcare reform, border security, Trump’s friendship with Dana White and why the Republican candidate abstains from drinking and smoking.
Von interviewed Bernie Sanders the same week as Trump, which viewers said was a testament to her range and ability to remain impartial as a journalist.
