Dictor: Okay. And you said that, 'If you see someone getting ready to throw a tomato, just knock the crap out of them would you.' That was your statement? Trump: Oh, yeah. It was very dangerous. Dictor: What was very dangerous? Trump: We were threatened. Dictor: With what? Trump: They were going to throw fruit. We were threatened. We had a threat. Dictor: How did you become aware that there was a threat that people were going to throw fruit? Trump: We were told. I thought Secret Service was involved in that, actually. And you get hit with fruit, it's -- no -- it's very violent stuff. We were on alert for that. Trump attorney Jeffrey Goldman: A tomato is a fruit after all, I guess.... It has seeds. Trump: It's worse than a tomato, it's other things also. But tomato, when they start doing that stuff, it's very dangerous. There was an alert out that day. Dictor: Who were you speaking to when you said... Trump: The audience. Dictor: So you were speaking to the audience when you said if they saw someone getting ready to throw a tomato, just knock the crap out of them, would you? Trump: That was to the audience. It was said sort of in jest. Buy maybe, you know, a little truth to it. It's very dangerous stuff. You can get killed with those things.... I wanted to have people be ready because we were put on alert that they were going to do fruit. And some fruit is a lot worse than -- tomatoes are bad by the way. But it's very dangerous... they were going to hit -- they were going to hit very hard.
