00:15Is it true Donald Trump tried to give you money to endorse him one time?
00:19I got a call, but they wanted me to, well, Sunday.

00:27They still offered me $3 million.
00:29To perform?
00:30At the RNC or this past Sunday?
00:32Huh?
00:33No, this past Sunday.
00:34At $3 million.
00:35And then they offered you money for the Republican National Convention too, right?

00:43When you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you.
00:48That's everything, though. I mean, politics is worse, but that's everything.

00:51Look, if you say, I stay away from religion, I stay away from politics.
