00:00Hi Melania, how's California?
00:08Great.
00:09I'm heading to the airport right now, I'll see you in Los Angeles very soon.
00:14I can't wait to see you, have a safe flight.
00:17I will.
00:18Bye bye Barron, take care of yourself.
00:20Say bye bye daddy, see you soon.
00:23Bye.
00:24Bon Voyage.
00:26I'm Donald Trump and I have properties all over the place.
00:29In fact, my newest golf course in L.A., Trump National, is doing amazingly well and I've
00:35decided to build a house there.
00:49I love L.A., what's not to love about great weather and an economy that's worth almost
00:55600 billion dollars.
01:01With lots of companies and thousands of employees, I'm always looking for someone who's new and
01:07talented.
01:08I'm looking for someone who's a problem solver.
01:11I'm looking for someone who's a sharp negotiator.
01:14I'm looking for The Apprentice.
01:20Right now, these 18 candidates are about to embark on the world's toughest job interview.
01:26They're the best and the brightest, lawyers, business owners, internet executives, even
01:33an Olympic athlete.
01:35The candidates are a diverse and talented group, but they all have the same goal, to
01:40win a year-long apprenticeship in the Trump Organization.
01:44It's the dream job of a lifetime.
01:54This is the mansion where I've set up my temporary Los Angeles office.
01:59And inside is the dreaded boardroom, where each week, somebody will be fired.
02:04Hi, Daddy.
02:06Daddy's coming home.
02:08Say hi, Daddy.
02:10Hello, honey.
02:12Hi, Daddy.
02:14Welcome home.
02:16When this 14-week job interview is over, only one candidate will remain.
02:22Who will succeed?
02:24Who will fail?
02:26And who will be The Apprentice?
02:42Money, money, money, money, money.
02:48We are fired.
02:50Some people got to have it.
02:54Some people really need it.
02:58Listen to me, y'all.
03:00Do things, do things, do things, bad things with it.
03:06Dollar bills, y'all.
03:08Come on and do things.
03:12Make great almighty dollars.
03:16I don't know that money.
03:20Give me a nickel, brother.
03:22Can you swear that money can drive some people out of their mind?
03:32No good, no good.
03:34Money, money, money, money, money.
03:40We are fired.
03:50I've instructed the candidates to meet me in the driveway of their new home.
03:54I'll be staying in the mansion right next door.
03:58I also have a few surprises to keep them on their toes.
04:02But I know they're ready for the challenge.
04:12Welcome. Please go this way. Mr. Trump is going to be with you shortly.
04:20Thanks. I'm heading down now.
04:32Welcome to Los Angeles.
04:46I just came from the mansion on the top of the hill right next door.
04:50In the mansion, we have a boardroom.
04:54You don't want any piece of that boardroom.
04:56It's going to be a very, very tough time for you.
05:00Believe me.
05:02Behind me and next to the mansion is where you'll be staying.
05:06I'd like to discuss where you're from, your names.
05:10Give me a little identification.
05:12Okay, let's start from the left.
05:14My name is James Sun.

06:09Okay?
06:11Great.
06:13Terrific job.
06:15Tough competition, folks.

06:29My name is Martin.
06:31I'm the senior assistant city attorney for the great city of Atlanta.
06:33And I'll, too, give you a hug if you let me go to the bathroom.
06:35Can you hold for two minutes?
06:37I can hold it.
06:39Okay, good.
06:41Come on.
06:43Good morning, Mr. Trump.
06:45I'm Amy.
06:47You believe what you're standing next to?
06:49I know.
06:51I can see where he's coming from already.
06:53Welcome to the great city of Jamaica.
06:55I am also an attorney with a very strong background in international trade.
06:57I own my own development company.
06:59We do multi-million dollar developments.
07:01I'm the president and CEO of a real estate corporation
07:03that has transacted nearly $30 million in the past three months.
07:05Okay, very good.
07:07What I'm going to have you do
07:09is get to know each other
07:11by working on a job.
07:13Hmm.
07:15Behind this house,
07:17you'll find a tent.
07:19It's sitting in a box.
07:21You're going to work together
07:23to build this tent.
07:25It sounds simple,
07:27but believe me, building a large tent is not easy,
07:29especially when you start off
07:31as you folks are starting off.
07:33So, when you're finished,
07:35you're going to head up to the top of the hill.
07:37You'll meet me in the boardroom.
07:39Go this way, please.
07:41I need you guys an Eagle Scout.
07:43We got a hammer and a box, guys.
07:45Anybody have experience setting up a tent?
07:47Anybody have camping experience?
07:49I'm a contractor.
07:51Maybe I can help you guys once you give me some directions.
07:53Does anybody have instructions?
07:55I'm going to get there now.
07:57Okay, wait 30 minutes.
07:59Okay, hold on a second!
08:01Everyone listen for a second.
08:03I just have to take control.
08:05Okay.
08:07Okay.
08:09I just have to take control here
08:11for one second.
08:13I've put up many tents.
08:15I'm a camper, so I had to just jump in
08:17and say, okay, here's how you put up the tent.
08:19Here's what we need to do first.
08:21This is the most spacious area,
08:23so I say we put it here.
08:25The stakes should go in last.
08:27These are the doors.
08:29Heidi was doing a great job,
08:31and then Frank basically came in
08:33and wanted to lead and did it vocally,
08:35just started talking really loud over everyone.
08:37Everybody grab one base
08:39so we know we have all the bases first.
08:41The base has the black cap
08:43at the bottom of each gray piece.
08:45We need a curved piece for the top.
08:47Come on.
08:51I thought Frank was like a cartoon character.
08:53His voice was booming
08:55and he started telling people what to do.
08:57Do this, do this, do this.
08:59But it was kind of frenetic.
09:01Before you put that through,
09:03are we going to be able to connect
09:05That cross is over.
09:07The answer is no,
09:09so let's get the straight one
09:11to go across first.
09:13That Frankie has a loud voice.
09:15Frankie, keep your voice down.
09:25Each person participated
09:27and helped out in their own way,
09:29but we found someone standing on a rock.
09:31It was Martin in his three-piece suit.
09:35Brother with the hammer,
09:37once you're done with that,
09:39you've got to go to the other side.
09:41I thought it was important for me
09:43to get up on that rock and supervise.
09:45I needed to let those people know
09:47that I had an ability to serve a function
09:49and keep it unified.
09:55Come on, everyone, hands in, hands in.
10:01After we finished the tent,
10:03let's do it again.
10:05Was this our first task?
10:07Is somebody going home?
10:09Am I going home?
10:11Really, what's going on?
10:33Wow, hi, welcome, Mr. Trump.
10:35I was expecting you.
10:37Please, this way.
10:39Yeah, this way to the boardroom, please.
10:41This is where you go.
11:03My daughter, Ivanka,
11:05she'll be working with me
11:07and she went to the Wharton School of Finance.
11:09She was a terrific student,
11:11so she will be my eyes and ears for this,
11:13and I think you'll all get along
11:15very well with Ivanka.
11:17You'll also notice to my right
11:19an empty chair.
11:21Later, I'll invite a special guest
11:23to sit beside me.
11:31I'll invite a special guest to sit beside me.
11:33Now, let me ask you a question.
11:35Did you have fun?
11:37Was it easy? Was it hard?
11:39Tell me.
11:41There were too many chefs in the kitchen, absolutely.
11:43How did the end product turn out? Is it good?
11:45It's up.
11:47But is it a nice tent?
11:49Absolutely.
11:51Is it a new tent?
11:53I'd sleep in it tonight.
11:55Who did you feel was the best leader?
11:57I got a lot out of everybody.
11:59I think Heidi was great.
12:01I think there were two or three main leaders.
12:03I think Frank and Heidi took a pretty active
12:05and very vocal role early on.
12:07In the beginning, it just started out like,
12:09whoa, everybody's just going nuts,
12:11but then Frank and Heidi ended up starting to take control.
12:13So you thought Frank and Heidi
12:15also were the best leaders?
12:17Well, they're the most vocal, and they stepped up.
12:19Well, it's a very impressive group,
12:21and what I'm going to ask,
12:23you're going to go to that corner of the room
12:25and Frank and Heidi are going to choose teams.
12:27We're going to have two teams chosen.
12:29Frank and Heidi are the first project managers.
12:33So who's your first choice, Heidi?
12:35First choice would be Derek.
12:37Derek, come over. Please sit.
12:39Frank, your first choice.
12:41I'm going to take Kay.
12:43Very good.
12:45Amy.
12:47I'm going to go with Tim.
12:49Marissa.
12:51I'm going to take Aaron.
12:53What's strange for me
12:55is that I'm picked either one or two
12:57on any project or anything that I do.
12:59I'm a little bit nervous, quite frankly,
13:01and I never get nervous.
13:03Angela.
13:05Nicole.
13:07Hello, boys.
13:09Syria, I'll take you. Please.
13:11I'd like to take James.
13:13Christine.
13:15Stephanie.
13:17Muna, please.
13:19Michelle.
13:22Jen.
13:24Martin, what a surprise.
13:26You're last.
13:28Get over here, Martin.
13:30So there's a popularity thing going on.
13:32At first blush, people don't really get me.
13:34They don't really know me.
13:36Once people get to know me, then they like me.
13:38But at first, they can be standoffish.
13:40Okay, let's get started.
13:42When I think of Los Angeles,
13:44I think of movies,
13:46I think of sex,
13:48I think of cars.
13:50What you will be doing
13:52for your first task
13:54is running a car wash.
13:56It's a big business.
13:58In Los Angeles,
14:00it's $250 million a year.
14:02The team that makes
14:04the most money
14:06wins. As simple as that.
14:08The winning team will be very happy.
14:10The losers,
14:12I'll see you back in the boardroom.
14:14Somebody will be fired.
14:16Now, the project manager
14:18will always remain the project
14:20manager if the team continues
14:22to win. So,
14:24if your team continues to win,
14:26you're going to remain as project manager.
14:28Frank, Heidi. If it
14:30loses, you may get fired.
14:32Somebody else will become the project manager.
14:34Lots of bad things will happen.
14:36Ivanka will be my
14:38eyes and ears. What she tells me
14:40means a lot. Believe me.
14:42Good luck. Have fun.
14:44Wash cars.
14:48One person
14:50go right now.
14:52I'm making up the flyers. Let's go.
14:54We need to figure out price point.
14:56Definitively, we're going to be up
14:58$10. Get your car washed.
15:00We need to price the extras, too.
15:02Let's just get two people to Kinko's.
15:04If 500 flies is okay.
15:06When we landed at the car wash,
15:08it was just like Normandy Beach.
15:10It was absolute bedlam.
15:12You guys, stop.
15:14You guys, stop.
15:16You guys, stop.
15:18Give me a call. Frank led like a
15:203-year-old hyperactive kid on grape soda.
15:22Are you going to tell them
15:24you want them to make up a coupon?
15:26Right there. So, when we upsell
15:28somebody on whatever the...
15:30Hey, what are the prices of the upsells?
15:32Yes, I do.
15:34Yes, I do.
15:36That's okay.
15:38Okay.
15:40So...
15:42Okay. Let's just talk about this for a second.
15:44Hey, guys, guys, quickly.
15:46We need prices of upsells.
15:48Frank came obsessed with getting marketing materials,
15:50getting flyers, and he just left.
15:52He left with Aaron without really much of a discussion.
15:54So, I stepped up and filled the void.
15:56We have three things.
15:58Wash, wash and wax, wash, wax and detail.
16:00And three prices.
16:02$10.35, $100.
16:04So, what are you guys going to do?
16:06You guys going to go in there?
16:08I understand. We got to get the cars in.
16:10The other team is probably washing cars already.
16:12Hold on one second.
16:14And I'm going to have you tell the team. Hold on.
16:16Team, please listen to me.
16:18Let's get the ladies out in the street.
16:20Let's get the guys set up.
16:22Stop the small talk and let's do this.
16:24Come on. Pull together, guys, all right?
16:26Let's just change. Let's do this, guys.
16:28You guys are selling and we're up, Sam.
16:30We're open? We're open. All right.
16:32How many more blocks?
16:34I don't know.
16:36I don't know if this was such a good move.
16:38With Frank and Aaron gone, we're lacking manpower.
16:40We better be really doing something good for the team here
16:42because it's not a great move by him.
16:56Are we going to get a four-star wash today, sir?
16:58We are going to get a four-star wash.
17:00Four-star wash? Okay, great.
17:02Do you guys want to do a four-star wash today?
17:04We'll give you a free lunch a bit over at the hot dog stand.
17:06Awesome.
17:08We don't really do most car washes, so we improvised.
17:10I mean, we made signs out of cardboard
17:12and gave away free lunches.
17:14Our location was in West Hollywood,
17:16which is
17:18a homosexual area.
17:20So we hired two guys
17:22to stand on the street
17:24and hold signs for car wash, free lunch.
17:32Hi, Amy. Great to see you.
17:34Nice to see you.
17:36Going really great up here.
17:38Why is the detail bay so empty?
17:40That's where you guys make the money, no?
17:42Well, actually, by pushing the quantity through here
17:44and getting more volume, we're really getting
17:46a lot more return and making more money
17:48versus tying up our workers over there
17:50and doing hand washes that take 20 to 25 minutes.
17:52They're promoting the basic car wash.
17:54If you go to the detailing decks,
17:56they're completely empty,
17:58which is an interesting strategy.
18:00Let's see if it pays off for them.
18:06Car wash.
18:08So how are you doing?
18:10Good.
18:12How many cars do you think you've gotten in there?
18:14Oh, my God. We got a lot.
18:16We got a lot? Yeah, so far.
18:18Want to take off your shirt and help us out?
18:20No, it's okay. Thank you, though.
18:22Maybe next time.
18:24Special $10 car wash!
18:26One hour only! Come on, guys!
18:28Nobody knows what we're doing right here.
18:30We need, like, a sign.
18:32Car wash special! One hour only!
18:34Whoo!
18:38Where have you guys been?
18:40Fliers. Fliers.
18:42Every car that comes in here,
18:44try to push for the full detail.
18:46Okay.
18:48So, what's this?
18:50It's a car wash.
18:52Try to push for the full detail.
18:54Okay.
18:56$10 car wash is for the next 2 hours!
18:58You can hear me!
19:00Guys, come on in and do your car wash.
19:02This is me with a sign right here.
19:04Right on it!
19:06This is our sign.
19:08$10 car wash is one block away, man.
19:10Well, I work in marketing,
19:12and I know how powerful a sign is.
19:14Here's what I love about Frank.
19:16I love his enthusiasm.
19:18I love that he's hardworking and dedicated.
19:20But how do you convince a car
19:22to pull over with a copy this big?
19:24We need a sign, Frank.
19:26A sign. You get it? A sign.
19:30Posters are right there in that store.
19:32Big jumbo markers.
19:34You got money? Let's go.
19:36It'll take 5 minutes to get in there
19:38and get a sign and markers.
19:42Hi. How's it going?
19:44No one's coming in.
19:46We got about half of our team out,
19:48and I went out and got flyers made.
19:50Where's Frank, by the way?
19:52Not here.
19:54No, not here.
19:56Do you think that's right?
19:58Do you think he should be here?
20:00Frank's done a good job delegating duties thus far.
20:02Frank was not there
20:04when I arrived at the car wash,
20:06but where they are falling short
20:08would be in terms of signage.
20:10There's none.
20:12That could hurt them. I think they really need it.
20:14But today is the only day that we can sell.
20:16Because everyone's selling...
20:18You think he has enough energy?
20:20I love car washes.
20:22You are amped up, my God.
20:24Hello.
20:26How's it going?
20:28Tired.
20:30Don't say that. It's the beginning of a long process.
20:32You can't be tired just yet.
20:46Ah, man.
21:00Free lunch!
21:02Free lunch!
21:04I'm just going to have you pull up,
21:06and whatever slot opens up first, just slide in that.
21:08And I appreciate your patience very much today.
21:10We're doing really well, I think.
21:12I think we're doing great.
21:14Our decision to focus on marketing was working very well.
21:16Maybe too well, because the cars were backed up.
21:18Go right in front of that Mercedes
21:20and just leave it there.
21:22Thanks.
21:24All of our resources were dedicated to getting people in.
21:26None of them were dedicated to getting the cars out.
21:28So you had a huge backlog.
21:30You told me an hour ago it would take 15 minutes.
21:32I've got to get to work.
21:34Ma'am, please don't.
21:36I'll get somebody else over here.
21:38Guys, can I just have everybody come around?
21:40I'm going to just allocate you to different locations.
21:42Being the team leader,
21:44I was feeling a lot of pressure,
21:46and I had to take charge.
21:48I need a spray.
21:52I don't know whose car this is,
21:54but I'm working my butt off for it.
21:56I hope that it's good.
22:00It was no longer about trying to get the customer in.
22:02We had to just keep the line moving.
22:04And to do that, every single person pitched in.
22:06Angela, can you drive this car next?
22:08Yeah.
22:12If there's one thing
22:14that would cause us to lose the task,
22:16it would just be, you know, the chaos.
22:20Why are these cars still sitting here
22:22waiting to be driven?
22:36It's 30, right?
22:38Yeah, it's 30.
22:40The marketing was not established
22:42properly in the beginning.
22:44About two-thirds into it,
22:46we finally got some signs.
22:48Wave around. Beautiful!
22:50Come get your cars washed, guys!
22:52That car needs to be cleaned, trust me.
22:54$10 car wash, everyone!
23:00What, it's $40?
23:02Oh, yeah, for the whole wax.
23:04You want a wax, right?
23:08Brand-new wash and then a brand-new wax
23:10would be like both.
23:12And that's the way to go, the wax package.
23:14For a beautiful Denali like this,
23:16I highly recommend that you let us do our full detail.
23:18Tim, Martin, and myself
23:20became the salespeople.
23:22And we knew this task was going to be based
23:24on how much you can upsell the customer.
23:26But all I need is a regular wash and I'm all on tires.
23:28And Martin didn't hold his end in sales.
23:30All you do is give me
23:32a wash and I'm all in.
23:34We're running a daily special today, so...
23:36All right, $35.
23:38A hour spa detail
23:40where we go in and out
23:42and everywhere about.
23:44No problem. Hold on.
23:46He's all set.
23:48He's getting a full detail.
23:50Or we can do a spa treatment for $100.
23:52Just with a regular wash.
23:54Yeah, that's cool. Fantastic.
23:56It was very important
23:58not to be too up in the face
24:00with the customers at the car wash
24:02to have a little bit more of a subtle approach.
24:04We have a couple of specials today.
24:06There's an old African saying,
24:08drip, drip, drip, water cracks the stone.
24:10And that's going to be me. Drip, drip, drip.
24:12Regular wash? No problem.
24:14Five minutes left, people!
24:16There's five minutes!
24:18Let's see how much we raised today.
24:20I need water.
24:22I need a bathroom.
24:24Hey, Martin, you know where the bathroom is, right?
24:26Martin.
24:28At the end of the whole task,
24:30I saw Martin flipping through his little notepad
24:32saying exactly how much he sold.
24:34That told me one thing right away.
24:36He was insecure about how much he sold.
24:38Tim and I, we know we sold like crazy.
24:40And so we didn't have to count up every single penny.
24:42I think we did great. I think everyone did.
24:44I think we did really well.
24:4647 by 67.99.
24:4867.72.99.
24:5867.72.99.
25:12So I assume you all had fun.
25:14Absolutely.
25:16What do you think of running a car wash?
25:18Hard work. Very difficult.
25:20So how'd you do? Frank, how did you do?
25:22Mr. Trump, it was very exciting.
25:24I think we did excellent.
25:26We try to keep the cars going through the car wash
25:28constantly throughout the day,
25:30and we try to up-sale each customer.
25:32Do you think you won?
25:34I believe my team did win. I believe we did excellent, yes.
25:36Heidi, how'd your team do?
25:38My team was wonderful.
25:40I couldn't have picked a more hard-working team.
25:42And do you think you won?
25:44Absolutely, I think we won.
25:46So let's find out who won. Ivanka, how did they do?
25:48Well, Frank and his team spent a lot of time and energy
25:50trying to attract customers.
25:52Ultimately, at the end of the day,
25:54they won $35.54.
25:56Heidi's team, on the other hand,
25:58really, I guess, at the end of the day,
26:00realized you really just needed to roll up your sleeves,
26:02get dirty, and operate a car wash.
26:04And how did they do?
26:06Your team earned
26:08$2,463.
26:10Yeah!
26:12Congratulations, Heidi, you won.
26:20Winners, for your reward,
26:22you'll enjoy a true
26:24Los Angeles experience.
26:26I'm going to take you
26:28out to dinner to Spago.
26:30You know Spago?
26:34And as you know, Wolfgang Puck,
26:36one of the great restaurateurs,
26:38chefs in the world,
26:40he will be joining us for dinner.
26:42Winners,
26:44you'll be living in the mansion
26:46behind me.
26:48Additionally, as we stated
26:50before, because Heidi
26:52was the project manager who won,
26:54you're going to be the project
26:56manager of this wonderful team
26:58until you lose.
27:02And one more really,
27:04to me, interesting thing. You notice I have
27:06Ivanka, and you notice I have a blank
27:08over here. Well, the
27:10winning project manager,
27:12in this case Heidi, is going to
27:14join me at my side
27:16in the boardroom in
27:18helping me to make a
27:20decision. Okay?
27:22Now let's go to
27:24the losers. Frank, you
27:26didn't win, but you did say
27:28you'd love living in a tent.
27:30So Frank, you and your
27:32team will sleep outside
27:34and you won't move inside
27:36until you win a task.
27:38If you do
27:40win a task, the opposing
27:42team will take your place in the
27:44backyard. This is a
27:46case of the haves versus
27:48the have-nots. So,
27:50you're going to put up a second tent,
27:52you're going to have to shower outside,
27:54you're going to have to wash your teeth
27:56and face and whatever the hell you do
27:58to yourself, I have no idea, nor do
28:00I give a damn, okay?
28:02Whatever you do, it's going to be outside
28:04until you win, and
28:06then we'll get you inside. But this
28:08time, you are going to be
28:10coming to the boardroom. Somebody,
28:12as you know, will be fired.
28:16Okay, go to your
28:18places. You know where you're going, you know where
28:20you're going. Go.
28:22Thank you very much.
28:24Good job.
28:26Alright, I'll open the door for my buddy.
28:32There it is.
28:34Woo! Yeah!
28:36Oh my god.
28:38I think this might be
28:40better than outside. The door opens up
28:42and the place is just amazing.
28:44Great furniture, great artwork.
28:52When you live in the mansion,
28:54you are sort of a have. You get to
28:56have things. You get to have
28:58champagne.
29:00You can cook dinner. You have a stove.
29:02The fridge is stocked.
29:04And you have a nice bed to sleep in.
29:06Oh, fun.
29:08It's like camp. I love it.
29:10It is great to win.
29:12Where's the closet? Hey, we're not
29:14outside. That's true.
29:22This is a little chaotic in the first ten minutes.
29:24Hold this for me.
29:26And let's get us a five here.
29:28When you move into
29:30the tent, you're a have not.
29:32We have champagne? Yes, we do!
29:34This is, yeah, this is great.
29:36Gotta listen.
29:38Gotta hear that. Gotta celebrate.
29:40It's not a good feeling hearing the other team celebrating.
29:42I'm angry. I'm disgusted.
29:44Hey, there's a shower, guys.
29:46This is my, uh,
29:48that's our bathroom.
29:50Where I come from,
29:52I don't lose. I don't like to lose.
29:54I'm not a loser.
29:56In business, you always have to win.
29:58If you don't, you know, you lose.
30:00And if you lose, you don't get the luxuries in life
30:02that you want.
30:10I need a flashlight.
30:12I can't see anything.
30:14There you go, then.
30:16Once the sun went down,
30:18it was horrible.
30:20We were limited to the use of flashlights
30:22and really couldn't move around
30:24and do very much in the backyard.
30:26We didn't have electricity.
30:28Oh, that's so weird.
30:30Is it gonna go down?
30:32The sinks don't drain.
30:34This does feel like third world.
30:36We want into that house so much,
30:38I don't know.
30:50There was not one complaint all day long.
30:52Really, truly, that is really hard to find in a group.
30:54Good job, guys.
30:58I don't know when the boardroom's gonna be.
31:00We're all gonna be asked, like, certain questions.
31:02And I'm just trying to think, you know,
31:04who would you fire a question?
31:06I'm trying to figure out why I wouldn't say you.
31:08You know, if someone said who's the weakest candidate,
31:10I would not say you.
31:12But the thing they had us on was what?
31:14Was marketing.
31:16You think so?
31:18We didn't think outside the box as much as they did.
31:20If we lost by $1,000, we say,
31:22Frank, marketing was a bomb.
31:24To say we lost by $60?
31:26You're talking by one car.
31:28To me, it comes to lack of puzzle.
31:30Do you think every team member
31:32gave 100% of themselves, yes or no?
31:34So at that point, it's...
31:36Now, now, now, now, now, Frank, Frank, Frank.
31:38If marketing was a little better, we would've won.
31:40If sales was a little better, we would've won.
31:42It's easy for you to say, if I was project manager,
31:44I would be able to get rid of that one.
31:46I appreciate that it's frustrating for you to hear that today.
31:48That's very frustrating, my friend.
31:50I'm not saying that no one else is culpable here.
31:52But all things considered,
31:54the project manager is more to blame
31:56than a bad salesperson.
31:58Tim playing Monday quarterback,
32:00it's very easy to do that.
32:02You have to really evaluate the task.
32:04That's a little funny in my book.
32:06If Tim plays hardball, he plays hardball.
32:08I'm ready to go.
32:32...

35:20He's the best at it.
35:22You go back to work.
35:23All right, you eat, great to meet you all.
35:26Good to see you.
35:27Thank you very much.
35:28Enjoy your dinner.
35:45Welcome to the Valley View Restaurant.
35:49Losing sucks.
35:51I don't like losing.
35:53I don't want to lose again.
35:58When did you win the gold medal?
36:00In 98.
36:00That's great.
36:01In Japan.
36:02Having dinner with Mr. Troms was just a great opportunity
36:05for everyone.
36:06He was genuinely interested in having
36:08a really good conversation and really learn about us.
36:11Everybody did well.
36:12It looks like everybody did well.
36:15Who did the worst job?
36:18This is a reward.
36:19What am I doing?
36:21It just comes naturally.
36:23Winning is great, isn't it?
36:25And losing?
36:26Not so great.
36:31This was a task that everyone was really gung ho
36:33to get out there and just get going.
36:35And we didn't really know what we were doing.
36:37We didn't even have a prize.
36:39Tim, talk to me about that prize point.
36:41I was thinking it should be 15 or 20.
36:43And I remember thinking, oh, I don't know.
36:45I don't know.
36:46I was thinking it should be 15 or 20.
36:48And I remember, you know, at the beginning.
36:49And we were saying, 10, 10.
36:50And we kept saying 10.
36:51He went down to 10, though.
36:52Because we were trying to solve the prize.
36:54I don't know why I went down to 10.
36:54We were told the basic car wash is 10 bucks.
36:57Frank.
37:00There's a Nigerian saying that says,
37:02seize every opportunity as if it were your last.
37:05After we lost the task, I knew Frank
37:07was going to try to pull me into the boardroom.
37:09I did what I had to do.
37:10And that is make sure that I put the focus on Frank.
37:13Frank, let me ask you.
37:15Should more time have been spent
37:17on establishing a prize point?
37:19I don't believe the problem was the prize point.
37:22Frank, I'm being very frank with you, no pun intended.
37:25Frank, being very frank.
37:26Was the prize point the problem?
37:29Are you saying no?
37:30No, I don't believe the prize point was the bomb.
37:31Because the rest of the team has said yes.
37:34For the amount of time to make a decision.
37:36Right.
37:37And how chaotic and hectic it was when it first started,
37:39I think we did pretty good.
37:40Maybe it would not have been as chaotic
37:43if we had spent more time on the planning element.
37:45How much time did you want to work on making a plan?
37:47I am not with you.
37:48I will be very, very frank.
37:50I'm a straight up guy, I'll tell you how to do this.
37:52Maybe that would have been the difference, though.
37:54I agree, and I think a lot of the guys
37:56would have liked to brainstorm a bit more.
37:58I can handle the psychology of the group.
38:00And after the maneuvering that I did,
38:03Frank is on the defensive.
38:05I think in the back of his head, he's in a dark place.
38:08If I can pull this thing off, let me tell you,
38:11I will be the greatest apprentice ever.
38:32It should be interesting.
38:33This will be the first time someone gets to...
38:35From the other team gets to see what happens to the losing team.
38:38Because I was the winning project manager,
38:40I get to go into the boardroom
38:43and advise Mr. Trump on the other team's boardroom.
38:47I definitely have a bit of a strategy, though.
38:50I am going to first see who their weakest link is.
38:53I'm going to try to keep that person there
38:54in every way that I possibly can.
38:56By having me come to the boardroom,
38:58there's one reason, and that's to give us
39:00the advantage as a reward.
39:02So we would be absolutely stupid
39:05to not go in there trying to benefit our team.
39:10MUSIC PLAYS
39:31Good evening, Adam. Good evening.
39:32Mr. Trump is waiting for you. Thank you very much.
39:34You're welcome. Thank you very much.
39:40MUSIC CONTINUES
40:11Heidi was the project manager of the winning team.
40:15The project manager of the winning team will always assist me.
40:19OK? We understand.
40:21And speaking of that, Heidi, what did you hear about this team?
40:24I heard they didn't win.
40:26That's true. It's all about winning.
40:28Michelle, what did you think of Frank as a project manager?
40:32I think Frank maintained a very consistent energy
40:35based on even the first sort of pseudo-task of putting up a tent
40:38throughout our official first task.
40:40Was there a strategy?
40:42Because when I got there,
40:43it didn't seem like there was any clear direction.
40:46Do you feel like, as a leader,
40:47he gave you a strategy and then watched you implement it?
40:51Absolutely not. No.
40:53I have to be honest and I have to be truthful here.
40:55I think there were three mission-critical errors that were made
40:59and some fatal character errors made.
41:02In terms of mission-critical errors,
41:04planning, it was just too scattered in the beginning.
41:08We didn't have a correct price point.
41:10We had marketing problems as well.
41:12How much time did you spend on marketing?
41:14As soon as we got there, time was of the essence.
41:16It was a big problem.
41:16I'm aware. That's why you have to get out there and sell.
41:18I did the same thing. We had to earn as much money as we...
41:20Heidi's team focused on volume and moving as many cars as possible.
41:23You focused on tailoring to the high-stream clientele.
41:28Do you think that was a flawed strategy?
41:30Ivanka, we did cater...
41:32Would you do it the same way again?
41:34Yes, I stand behind the way we did this
41:36because we have a great team.
41:38What we did was we just came up with a price point of $15 to $20.
41:43No, that's incorrect. It was $10.
41:45Does anyone besides Martin agree that there was no strategy
41:46and that things could have been done differently?
41:48Yes, I agree with Martin at the same time.
41:49This was not a task about brainstorming.
41:51This was a task about saying,
41:52set a price point.
41:54Let's just see what we all think.
41:56Let's move it up. Let's move it down if we have to.
41:58What did you think about price point and setting the price point?
42:01We started a little low.
42:02We all kind of came to a consensus that $10 was right.
42:04It wasn't right.
42:05So who did that, Frank? Who priced?
42:08We acted as a group.
42:09No, no, but who priced? But you're the leader.
42:11Who priced?
42:13Mr. Trump.
42:13Tim was in charge of the salesman, okay?
42:16What we would do is throughout the task,
42:18I would go to Tim and I would say...
42:19Tim, is that right?
42:20That is right.
42:21Go ahead.
42:22I said myself that task.
42:23Tristan, why wouldn't you be in charge of sales?
42:25Ultimately, this is what the whole task hinges on.
42:28Ivanka, I had to wear many hats that day.
42:30First off, I wanted to make sure...
42:31I understand, but ultimately it comes about
42:32getting customers in the door.
42:33Exactly.
42:35I was out on the streets.
42:36I couldn't find half the team.
42:37If you had more people there, you could move more cars.
42:39It's as simple as that.
42:40Heidi's team realized that.
42:42They got to work.
42:43They were sweating.
42:44Martin, you had your tie on.
42:46I had my tie on and I remembered you said...
42:48I said I was exhausted and you said this is like the first day.
42:51Yeah, you shouldn't be exhausted.
42:52It was the first day.
42:53I would ask, James and Tim, did I work my butt off out there?
42:58I don't think you were very effective as a salesman.
43:01I can't say you weren't giving it a lot of effort.
43:03You did work hard.
43:04It's hard for me to say I don't know him that well.
43:06I don't think sales is where he should be, ever.
43:08What do you think, Aaron?
43:09You've been very quiet.
43:10What do you think?
43:11I have been.
43:12Well, from what I heard, there was a weak link in sales.
43:15Who do you think was the weak link?
43:17Just based on numbers, Martin was.
43:19Let me ask you this.
43:20Frankie, what was your strategy?
43:22Mr. Trump, my strategy...
43:23Listen, listen.
43:24I am the project manager.
43:25You're the project manager.
43:26So what is your strategy?
43:27My strategy was to get as many cars through that car wash and upsell each customer that
43:33came in.
43:34How?
43:35And where were you for the first hour of it?
43:36Were you making photocopies of flyers, or were you actually at the car wash during the
43:39first hour?
43:40The first hour, I did go to the copy center to make the copies.
43:43It was just a tactic.
43:45We all agreed, and it worked excellent.
43:46It was a sales tool.
43:47It was just a sales tactic.
43:48It failed.
43:49The problem was...
43:50You spent 45 minutes of critical time, sir.
43:51Martin, no.
43:52You were alone out there.
43:53But Martin, how would...
43:54We made executive decisions on your behalf, sir.
43:56Frank, I have to agree that there was probably another person on your team that could have
44:01went to the copy store.
44:03I feel the problem with us, Mr. Trump, we didn't lose by a landslide.
44:07We lost by...
44:08But you lost.
44:09Losing is losing.
44:10I hate to lose, Mr. Trump.
44:11I'm a New Yorker.
44:12What do you blame for losing?
44:14I have to blame Martin.
44:17I'm sorry, but that's what I have to blame.
44:18I have no problem with Martin as a person.
44:21Martin's a great person.
44:22I have a problem with people that don't hustle and don't give 100% of themselves.
44:25Oh, my gosh.
44:26Ivanka just saw me at this place rocking and rolling.
44:29No, I didn't.
44:30I was already pinpointed as someone to be weak and someone, you know, not to...
44:36He was the last pick.
44:37Well, Martin, you were the last chosen.
44:38I was the last chosen.
44:39Mr. Trump, if I was Martin...
44:40And you did a...
44:41Excuse me, Martin.
44:42You did say, Mr. Trump, may I please go to the bathroom at a greater time?
44:45Mr. Trump, you took the words out of my mouth.
44:46I really did have to go to the...
44:47Okay.
44:48I was trying not to...
44:49You should have waited.
44:50You should have waited.
44:51I tried so hard.
44:52If I was Martin coming into this task, I would want to prove myself not only to my team,
44:57but to you, sir.
44:59I would want the project manager to come back and say, Mr. Trump, you have it all wrong
45:03about Martin.
45:04You know, this guy was out there.
45:05He was aggressive.
45:06He gave 100%.
45:07Frank, you weren't there.
45:08You ask the rest of the team if you feel he could have gave a little more.
45:10Let me ask you this, Martin.
45:11Sir?
45:12You don't think Frank did a very good job as project manager?
45:14Mr. Trump, the long and the short of it, sir, is but for the fatal errors that were made
45:19by the project manager, we would have won.
45:2317 of your candidates picked myself and Heidi as the two people chosen to lead a team, to
45:31be a leader.
45:32But it happens all the time when a favorite gets their ass kicked.
45:34You know, that happens all the time.
45:35Mr. Trump, I understand that.
45:36That happens to a lot of people.
45:38I think one thing to consider is, I know we lost, but it was by $65.
45:42What happened to your voice?
45:43I would promise to do whatever it takes to work for you.
45:46I lost my voice working for you at the car wash.
45:48What were you going to say?
45:49So you're trying to determine why we lost?
45:51There's not really one thing.
45:53You could say, if we did this, or if we did this, maybe if I stood one step higher on
45:58the ladder, we could have gotten one more car, if they got a detail, we would have won.
46:01Heidi, you came very close to losing, I hate to tell you.
46:04Mr. Trump, for that reason, that it was so close.
46:06And here she sits, the queen, and here you sit, people being prosecuted.
46:11It's terrible, right?
46:12It's excellent.
46:13Do you think that there was one person who didn't pull their weight, necessarily?
46:17That was my problem.
46:18Because of the amount of-
46:19Well, you're going to get your chance.
46:20Am I?
46:21You know why?
46:22Because you're going to get people back into the woods.
46:23Oh, Mr. Trump, I understand that.
46:24But before we do that, I want to go through the group, okay?
46:27So Michelle, if you were me, who would you fire?
46:39So Michelle, if you were me, who would you fire?
46:42If I had to make a recommendation based on one and the first task only, I would have
46:46to go with the project manager.
46:48Gary, you're me.
46:50Who should be fired?
46:51I think that Frankie could have been better.
46:53I think that we lacked direction, and that's what I've said consistently throughout.
46:56So you agree with Martin?
46:57Absolutely.
46:58I have told him that.
46:59Do you think Frankie should be fired?
47:00I think that there are two people that could have made this task better.
47:04So there are two people on the line.
47:05At the end of the day, she asked you a question.
47:06At the end of the day, I'll fire both of them.
47:08I mean, there are two people that you've got to deal with.
47:09That's not the answer you were hoping for.
47:11No, I just wanted to hear his answer.
47:12That's all.
47:13No, but that's not the answer you wanted.
47:14I'm a pro with people.
47:15I tell them how it is, so I just like to know.
47:16I think you're terrific, by the way.
47:18I may fire you, but I think you're terrific.
47:20I may have no choice.
47:21Do you understand that?
47:22Mr. Trump, I understand, but I would like you just to really understand.
47:25Okay.
47:26James, if you're me, who would you fire?
47:28I would have to let Frank go.
47:30Frank.
47:31Stephanie, who would you fire?
47:33It was a combination of, I think, sales and project management.
47:36So you'd get rid of who?
47:37The project manager?
47:38Martin?
47:39Probably both.
47:40You'd probably get rid of both.
47:41Stephanie, you're very vicious.
47:42Well, you're a lawyer.
47:43Tim, what do you think?
47:44I think Frank's a great guy.
47:45I think Frank's a good leader.
47:46He made a fatal error.
47:47In the end of the day, the reason we lost.
47:48This is a task about marketing.
47:49As much as it is about sales, we could have gotten people to do anything, whether it's
47:50drying cars, selling, marketing.
47:51So, Tim, you would probably get rid of the project manager, right?
47:52In this case, I'd have to.
47:53As much as I like Frank, I'd have to say.
47:54Hey, Frank, everyone likes you.
47:55Mr. Trump, in the real world, it's ...
47:56They probably don't like ... Wait a minute, Frank.
47:57They probably don't like Martin.
47:58And they do like me.
47:59And they do like me.
48:00And they do like me.
48:01And they do like me.
48:02And they do like me.
48:03And they do like me.
48:14And they do like me.
48:15And they do like me.
48:16And they do like me.
48:17And they do like me.
48:18And they do like me.
48:19And they do like me.
48:20And they do like me.
48:21And they do like me.
48:22And they do like me.
48:23And they do like me.
48:24And they do like me.
48:25And they do like me.
48:26And they do like me.
48:27And they do like me.
48:28And they do like me.
48:29And they do like me.
48:30And they do like me.
48:31And they do like me.
48:32And they do like me.
48:33And they do like me.
48:34And they do like me.
48:35And they do like me.
48:36And they do like me.
48:37And they do like me.
48:38And they do like me.
48:39And they do like me.
48:40And they do like me.
48:41Why?
48:42Yes.
48:43Why?
48:44You just don't think he's a stronger player.
48:45Here's the reason why.
48:46Frank did phenomenal.
48:47He was such a great motivator.
48:49I think that you can expect to see a lot out of Frank.
48:52Okay, Aaron, what do you think?
48:54Martin is a great guy.
48:56But Frank's got the energy.
48:57And Frank's got the skill set.
48:59Frank, I think you're terrific, but you may be fired.
49:01But here's what we're going to do.
49:02Here's what we're going to do.
49:04You're having a hard time.
49:05I'll be honest with you.
49:06You feel that way?
49:07You really believe that?
49:08But here's what we're going to do.
49:09You are going to pick two people.
49:11You're going to go outside with these two people.
49:14You're then going to come back.
49:16And one of you three will be fired.
49:18Everybody else is going to go back, usually I say to Trump Tower,
49:22but now we're in Los Angeles.
49:24And you pitched a tent and it's not very comfortable, right?
49:27It is not.
49:28So you'll go back to your tent.
49:29But it's okay.
49:30Because someday you might be in the mansion.
49:32And the mansion is very nice, isn't it?
49:34It's very nice.
49:35Okay, who are the two people you're going to choose?
49:37I know one.
49:38Mr. Trump.
49:39You don't even have to tell me it's Martin.
49:40I'm going to pick Martin.
49:41Okay, who else?
49:42And second, I'm going to pick Tim because he is the sales PM
49:49and he should have taken control of his men.
49:51Aaron, Nicole, Stephanie, James, Carrie, and Michelle,
49:58go back to your tent.
50:00The three of you go outside, come back in.
50:03We'll figure it out, okay?
50:04Thank you, Mr. Trump.
50:06May I just make you know one thing?
50:07Yes.
50:08For your organization, you need somebody hungry,
50:11someone aggressive, somebody who's going to fight for you
50:14or work hard for you.
50:15Save it, Frank, save it.
50:16Okay, I just want you to know.
50:17You'll be back in five minutes.
50:18I'm here for you.
50:19Save it, Frank, save it.
50:20Mr. Trump, listen, I would love to put up one of your skyscrapers.
50:23I know.
50:24Just save it.
50:25At least we know he doesn't lack spirit, right?
50:27I'm here for you, sir.
50:37So, Heidi, what do you think?
50:39It's a tough decision because they're my competition right now.
50:42So you'd like to see the weakest one.
50:44Stay.
50:45Right.
50:46Absolutely.
50:47I don't blame you, actually, but we can't do that.
50:49Who would you fire?
50:50If I were in your position, I would fire Martin.
50:52Martin has his attitude.
50:55I just don't see it meshing well within our company
50:57or with you, quite frankly.
51:00Martin?
51:01Tim?
51:02Frank?
51:03Yes?
51:04Get your asses back in here.
51:13Come on in.
51:14Come on in, fellas.
51:22So what do you guys think?
51:24Mr. Trump?
51:25At the end of the day,
51:27Martin did not show me what I expected of him.
51:30Tim stepped up and offered to be the sales PM.
51:33Tim should have asked his salesman
51:35how each and every one of them was doing.
51:37By him not doing that,
51:38I had no idea how the sales team was doing.
51:40And I gave my all as a team leader.
51:42I expected the same from each and every other team leader.
51:45Martin should have never asked to go to sales
51:47if he wasn't a strong salesman.
51:49What did you expect?
51:50I didn't expect anything.
51:53Did you assign anybody to this task?
51:55I did not know anybody.
51:56I needed to get people's feedback as a project manager.
51:59You can get upset all you want.
52:01This is about...
52:02I was working with you for the first time.
52:04I needed to know your strengths.
52:06And for him to tell me he was...
52:08I had to believe him.
52:09So will you get rid of Tim over Martin?
52:11No, Martin was the weakest link of the chain.
52:13Wait a minute.
52:14You would not get rid of Tim over Martin?
52:16I would not get rid of Tim over Martin, no.
52:19Tim was an excellent salesman.
52:21Tim, get out of here.
52:22But yet you brought him in.
52:24I brought him in because he was the manager,
52:26he was the sales PM,
52:27and he should have spoke to you.
52:29But you dropped the ball at the end of the day.
52:31All right, so fellas.
52:33You have two people that obviously don't like each other much.
52:36I have nothing against Martin as a person.
52:38I like Frank. He's got a lot of motivation.
52:40I don't think he's an asset to your organization.
52:42On the other hand, I feel I am an asset.
52:44If I got blew away by a landslide, sir,
52:46I would say the ball falls on my court.
52:48But to come this close and not get it
52:50that kills me.
52:51I will prove myself to you for the reason that
52:54I know my team now.
52:56I know who I'm dealing with.
52:57A new broom sweeps clean,
52:59but the old broom knows the corners.
53:01I've got leadership skills.
53:02I can motivate.
53:03I have been able to.
53:04Why didn't you step up?
53:05Why didn't you step up and do it?
53:07Frank, go under the bus.
53:10Frank, Frank, Frank.
53:12How do you reconcile the fact that Tim,
53:15great student at Harvard, smart guy, all of that,
53:19he thinks you should be fired?
53:20How do you reconcile that?
53:21You're the greatest businessman ever.
53:23He has to protect himself.
53:24He's the sales PM.
53:25Don't you think you set the price too low?
53:27No, I think the price, Mr. Trump,
53:29the price point, it was up sales.
53:31You did set the price point low.
53:32The team agreed as a plan.
53:33Just admit your fault and go on.
53:35The team agreed the plan was to up sale each customer.
53:38That was our selling tactic.
53:40You know what type of kid James is?
53:41The cars would pull in and James would say,
53:44Hey, guy, nice car.
53:45That was me.
53:46No, it wasn't you.
53:48It was me.
53:49No, it wasn't you.
53:51I saw James.
53:52James said the same thing.
53:54Oh, come on now.
53:57What he's saying is true.
53:58There is truth to that.
53:59James, I was very impressed by.
54:01Impressed, he was terrific.
54:03I have to say James and Tim both chose you, Frank,
54:05to be fired though.
54:06The guys I work with defended me, Frank,
54:08and you have to listen to that.
54:10I have no problem with that.
54:11My problem is this came down to sales, Martin, okay?
54:15One thing that was very conclusive
54:17and I learned this actually from Ivanka
54:19is that the other team worked much harder than your team.
54:22I worked very hard, sir.
54:23And so did my team.
54:25You don't have to work so hard.
54:26You're supposed to be the leader.
54:27Sometimes you have to roll your sleeves up.
54:29And, you know, I had to roll my sleeves up.
54:31Can you tell me that the other team worked much harder?
54:32Absolutely.
54:33Every single person on Heidi's team realized
54:36that they had to roll up their sleeves, get dirty,
54:38and it was a car wash.
54:40Martin, what's your education?
54:42Brilliant.
54:43Who's brilliant?
54:44He is.
54:45He's a brilliant guy.
54:46I spoke with him.
54:47Brilliant.
54:48You shouldn't be saying that about your opponent.
54:49It's fine.
54:50Sir.
54:51Why would you call your opponent brilliant?
54:52Meaning I meant education-wise.
54:53Because, sir, I consider myself...
54:54He went to great schools.
54:55He's a professor.
54:56Okay, let him...
54:57Oh, yeah, let him tell them what he does.
54:59Why are you building up your opponent?
55:00I'm asking him what he...
55:01And you're saying he's brilliant.
55:03I just mean brilliant.
55:04That doesn't make you very smart.
55:05I just meant...
55:06You want to know something, Frank?
55:07That doesn't make you very smart.
55:08I meant book-wise like that.
55:09Book-wise is very...
55:10Because he spoke with me.
55:11Let me tell you, book-wise is very important.
55:13When it comes to books, Martin's a great guy.
55:14He's a professor.
55:15But why would you answer with the fact that he's brilliant?
55:16Do you think he's brilliant?
55:17Not when it comes to running a company, no.
55:18No, no.
55:19Do you think he's...
55:20Well, then why did you say he was brilliant?
55:21I meant it as in the book smarts.
55:22See, Frank, I think you're outstanding.
55:23I really do.
55:24I think you're going to be great.
55:25I think in life you're going to be great.
55:26Don't you think it should be you that goes, Frank?
55:27Honestly.
55:28Look, look, look.
55:29Between you and me...
55:30Between you and me...
55:31You were the project manager.
55:32I see things in people.
55:33You lost.
55:34You didn't lose big league.
55:35Mr. Trump, you're a down-to-earth guy.
55:36I think you're a great guy.
55:37You know people.
55:38You see the fire I have in myself.
55:39I do see a lot of fire.
55:40I see some stupid things, like your last statement about how brilliant your opponent is as I'm
55:41getting ready to meet him in action.
55:42Well, at this point, I'm fighting for my life.
55:43You know that.
55:44At this point, I'm fighting for my life to stay here.
55:45I want to prove myself to you, sir.
55:46And I stepped up.
55:47And the other candidate said that from the beginning.
55:48All that means something.
55:49I believe Martin will win.
55:50I believe he will win.
55:51I believe he will win.
55:52I believe he will win.
55:53I believe he will win.
55:54I believe he will win.
55:55I believe he will win.
55:56I believe he will win.
55:57I believe he will win.
55:58I believe he will win.
55:59I believe he will win.
56:00I believe he will win.
56:01I believe he will win.
56:02I believe he will win.
56:03I believe he will win.
56:04I believe he will win.
56:05I believe he will win.
56:06I believe he will win.
56:07I believe he will win.
56:08I believe he will win.
56:09I believe he will win.
56:10I believe he will win.
56:11I believe he will win.
56:12I believe he will win.
56:13I believe he will win.
56:14I believe he will win.
56:15I believe he will win.
56:16I believe he will win.
56:17I believe he will win.
56:18I believe he will win.
56:19I believe he will win.
56:20I believe he will win.
56:21I believe he will win.
56:22I believe he will win.
56:24And are you a professor?
56:25I have served as a professor as well.
56:27What do you think, Ivanka?
56:29I think, Frank, you know, I'm fighting for you in some way.
56:33Ivanka, I've seen it from the second I walked in here.
56:35I don't see you fitting in with our company.
56:37I don't see you working side by side with me and my father.
56:40I absolutely can fit in.
56:41I think you're a very smart guy.
56:42I absolutely can fit in.
56:43I don't like the way you talk, the way you project yourself.
56:46I feel everything you say is rhetoric and this and that,
56:49and no hunger, no passion, no fire.
56:52So, Ivanka, who would you fire?
56:53I'd fire Martin.
56:55Mr. Trump, let me fight for my life, sir.
56:57Please.
56:58We're ultimately looking for somebody who can work in our company.
57:00I know, and I can, sir.
57:01And you will not mesh with the people who work there.
57:03I absolutely will mesh, sir.
57:04See, I think this guy's a worker.
57:06I think he's got a tremendous fire that you don't have.
57:08I have fire.
57:09This is an untruth.
57:10This is wrong.
57:11I just don't see you getting into the nitty-gritty of management and fighting.
57:17Wait a minute.
57:18Wait a minute.
57:19And deal-making and all of the other things.
57:21I am continuing to fight now, sir.
57:23This is who I am.
57:24But, Martin, here's the problem.
57:25Here's the problem.
57:26I think you have a lot of great qualities.
57:28I think as a lawyer, maybe very good.
57:31I think as a professor, you'd be great.
57:33I think to work for me, though, it's too much nitty-gritty stuff.
57:36I don't see it.
57:37But that's what I do, sir.
57:38He likes a straight answer.
57:39Martin, Martin.
57:40Yes, sir.
57:41You're fired.
57:43No, no.
57:44He said, Martin, you're fired.
57:45Come on.
57:46Go.
57:49This is unheard of.
57:50This is horrible.
57:53Mr. Trump, I think you've made a horrible mistake, sir.
57:56Martin, I want to tell you something.
57:57As a lawyer, I like you.
58:00As a professor, I like you more.
58:02And to be honest with you, I think that's what you should be doing.
58:05I just don't see you getting into the nitty-gritty.
58:08This was one of the toughest decisions I've had to make as long as I've been doing this.
58:14I had two very different people.
58:16I think you're terrific.
58:17I think you're smart as hell.
58:19I'd love you to be teaching my children.
58:21But I had to make a decision.
58:24Go ahead.
58:33That was a very tough decision.
58:35It really was.
58:36I think it's the right one.
58:37I couldn't see him on our construction site in Chicago.
58:40I think Frank definitely has the passion.
58:43Okay, let's see what happens.
58:50The American Dream
59:0230 June 2014
59:11Congratulations to Dorothy P. from Clueston, Florida.
59:14YOUR TONIGHT'S $10,000 get-rich-with-Trump WINNER!!!
59:19I can't believe that I got fired.
59:32I was probably the hardest working person there.
59:35You know, I'm the first one to go on LA Apprentice.
59:41It's better than being the third or fourth.
59:43I'm the first.
59:44At the end of the day, I can't say that I regret telling Mr. Trump that I had to go
59:48to the bathroom.
59:49I had to go.
