Comedian Tom Arnold says he’s got recordings of Donald Trump using racial slurs and making other offensive statements — and he said hundreds of people have heard them.

Arnold appeared Friday on Dori Monson’s KIRO-AM radio program, where he revealed that he has a copy of the infamous recordings made while Trump was the star of NBC’s “The Apprentice” reality TV show, reported My Northwest. The recordings are a compilation of various statements Trump made on camera that weren’t aired, and Arnold said those recordings have circulated within the entertainment industry.

“When the people sent it to me, it was funny,” Arnold said. “Hundreds of people have seen these. It was sort of a Christmas video they put together. He wasn’t going to be president of the United States. It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word, calling his son a retard, just being so mean to his own children. ‘Oh, this is so funny, this is this guy.'”

Arnold said he was called Nov. 6 by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s agent, who was sitting next to Hillary Clinton, and asked to release the recordings — but he refused to protect the show’s employees who made the video compilation.

1. Is this the assembling misdemeanors stage?

Lots of rumors, how many will tip the balance?

[forgotmylogin]

17. Last line is a little confusing

He refused in order to protect the show staffers...

Thanks a lot Tom Arnold, for sitting on this and then releasing them when it doesn't matter to get your fat face 15 more minutes of fame.

[hughee99]

20. I don't think he did release them. He just said he has them. n/t

[forgotmylogin]

43. Right, he didn't release them

If he wanted to protect people, why bring it up on the eve of the electoral vote when it doesn't make any difference except getting him in the spotlight?

[hughee99]

45. I agree. If he's not going to release them, he shouldn't have mentioned this at all, and if he was

going to release them, he should have done it months ago.

[CrispyQ]

24. Protect them from Trump suing them, is how I read it.

???

[forgotmylogin]

41. I misread the last line - it's ambiguously phrased

"but he refused to protect the show’s employees" can be read

A: Tom Arnold refused to protect the show's employees

B: Tom Arnold refused to [release aforementioned information in order to] protect the show's employees.

[hughee99]

46. I think there's supposed to be a comma there...

but he refused, to protect the show's employees.

[ProfessorGAC]

89. How Are They Protected Now, Hugh?

That reason seems weak, because if it's now public knowledge they exist, aren't they liable for the same reprisals than if they were actually released?

That excuse is not making sense.

"I have tapes in my possession that were made by people working on the show. So they exist because i have them, but if i release them people will get in trouble." Huh? Because by releasing them everyone would know they exist? They already know that.

[hughee99]

91. I agree the excuse doesn't make any sense, but without the comma, the sentence doesn't make sense.

nt

[unblock]

2. What a comedian. It's all about timing....

[pnwest]

4. i see what you did there...LOL

[Hoyt]

3. If released 11/6 it might have helped HRC, or drawn more racists out of hiding for Trump.

I do wish it had been released, but no use lamenting what didn't happen at this point.

[brush]

81. Tom Arnold's claim to fame was what, he married Roseanne?

What an a-hole to come out after the EC vote saying he had this video.

He's been sitting on this since the 'Access Hollywood' audio broke as if he couldn't figure out how to get this released anonymously.

He's as useless as this info is now.

[pangaia]

5. Which son did he insult?

[underpants]

6. Probably Donnie Jr.

I don't think Eric was ever on the show.

[Brother Buzz]

13. Eric, the dimwit, was on often

And he always struggled delivering his simple 'non scripted' phony lines. It was then that I determined Eric was a mentally challenged doofus.

[underpants]

78. We stopped watching when Donnie Jr. showed up

The show had run its course to us. Ivanka had started popping up which was strange to start. My wife and I both wondered why she was on that side of the table. Most of the contestants had education to match hers and actual experience not just working for Daddy. Jr. took the cake though. He had absolutely nothing to contribute. He just sat there and said "I agree with what (boss) my father said". Trump would nod approval.

I think Jr.'s stated accomplishments were going to Wharton (legacy) and working for his father. He tries as a tweaked lunkhead.

[Tanuki]

84. Did you see the SNL "Trump Family Feud" skit?

http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2016/10/02/snl-trump-clinton-family-feud-newday-vo.cnn

"I'm Donald Jr., the brains" 'I'm Ivanka, the beauty" "I'm Eric"

[Brother Buzz]

85. I totally missed that!

Thanks

[secondwind]

9. Barron, maybe? the rumor is that he is autistic

[Sanity Claws]

10. That is what I thought too

It would also provide a great explanation why his wife and Barron won't be living with him.

[JenniferJuniper]

27. If he is on the spectrum, of course

his father would call him a "retard". I'd expect nothing less of Trump.

[Crash2Parties]

86. Exactly. Remember the reporter Trump mocked?

[pangaia]

39. That was my guess as well, for reasons mentioned below.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

64. Maybe he'll improve after Melania keeps rubbing his naked body with fish eggs?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/11/donald-trumps-son-barron-caviar-moisturizer_n_3063299.html
“I put it on him from head to toe. He likes it!”

[MrPurple]

67. That's apparently why Trump is on the anti-vaccine bandwagon

[C Moon]

25. Some people are saying his youngest son looks to be autistic. I'm guessing that's the reference.

If it's true that Trump said that about his son, that finalizes it: he is the most horrible person in the U.S.

[Ilsa]

51. I saw a few seconds of video of Barron

this morning from the campaign trail. He was doing a "stimming" behavior with his left hand. If he isn't on the spectrum, I suspect he has some kind of neurological disorder. Maybe a Tourettes thing? Given trumputin's age, it doesn't surprise that his youngest has a congenital condition.

[exboyfil]

80. I can see it for his older adult sons

if they did something he thought was stupid - kind of Archie Bunker like. Insensitive but not terribly damaging.

To say it about a child, any child, of Barron's age is monstrous. A normal human being looks to protect children.

[erpowers]

7. Now He Tells Us

I have been saying "now they tell us" a great deal since the election. It seems all the stories that needed to come out before the election are coming out now. Days after the election people started running stories about NAFTA and how the coal industry is unlikely to come back due to cheaper energy sources. Now Tom Arnold claims he has recordings of Donald Trump using racial slurs and insulting his children. Why did they not tell us this before the election?

[keithbvadu2]

8. Wonder what he said about his porn model wife? Or his 'piece of ass' daughter?

Wonder what he said about his porn model wife? Or his 'piece of ass' daughter?

[Sanity Claws]

12. My guess is he speaks very disrespectfully to his wife and about his wife

I couldn't believe it when the ex-wife said that she should be the First Lady. She said something like Melania is not smart enough for the role.
Trump and his first wife were made for each other.

[keithbvadu2]

42. Melania was smart enough to plagiarize a smart woman, Michelle.

Melania was smart enough to plagiarize a smart woman, Michelle.

Melania was not smart enough to change the wording more.

[whathehell]

52. Was his wife actually in porn, or did she basically just pose nude in suggestive poes?

My thought was the latter.

[keithbvadu2]

55. Depends on your viewpoint.

Depends on your viewpoint.

Maybe we could ask Jerry Falwell Jr. or Trumps evangelical supporters.

Didn't seem to hinder them any.

[Dave Starsky]

77. Some softcore arty lesbian stuff.

Nothing you'd see on PornHub.

[whathehell]

87. Thanks..

I figured that was about it.

[lunasun]

11. This is a very sick country and we do not know if this may have energized more to vote Trump. That

he was true to them. Anyone voting for Trump already knew about his his racist , sexist side and his mocking disabled people. Didnt seem to be an issue with them

[Paladin]

14. Better late than never, I guess.

You've got the recordings, Tom Arnold? Let's hear them. Now.

[Aristus]

15. And this helps us how?

The stormtrumpers will just love His Tangerine Majesty all the more for it...

[Runningdawg]

29. Exactly

[bluedigger]

16. Thanks for putting "The Apprentice's" staffers ahead of America, Tom!

[B2G]

18. And no one bothered to come forward?

I can't stand Trump, but I find this hard to believe.

[Sunlei]

19. why Republicans wanted him, he'll probaby want to join in the torture of whatever Rs cut o the day

[BumRushDaShow]

21. It wouldn't have mattered

Drumpf's voters agree with this type of behavior and cheer it on.

[lark]

22. Fuck Tom Arnold

and everyone else who suppressed information showing what a racist nutjob Drumpf is. They all need to rot in hell for what they've done to this country and to the entire world. Tom may not be sweating losing his Medicare and SS, but I certainly am and so is everyone else who is on these now or will be soon. Yeah, they say we (people who are older than 57) will be protected and get ours like regular, but you know that's just a lie to ease the transition for repugs. Once they get the 2nd term, it will be all out war on everyone who's collecting now, all the protections will be removed and Medicare will be nothing more than a junk voucher that pays for nothing. Social Security will be privatized so when the oligarchs tank the economy and steal all the money, the elderly will be permanently broke. couple that with making Medicaid a state block program, where states can do what they want with the $ and if they end Medicaid for nursing home care, the elderly will truly be dying in the streets. I hate everyone who had any information that could have been used to highlight the true depravity of the orange assface and refused to release it. Because of them, our country as we know it has been turned upside down and the 4th reich has been enabled.

[Afromania]

36. this

all of this, forever. It's too damn late now. Arnold may as well shut his damn mouth because it does nobody any good at this point. How many other people knew it was out there and sat on their hands.

[MrPurple]

66. AGREED 100%

When faced with the chance to save the world from a megalomaniac, he passed because he was worried that a few people who edited the tape at NBC might get in trouble? Saving the planet vs. 3 people, who if they were competent editors, would still get work and be heroes to most in Hollywood.

You had a chance to alter history and avoid catastrophe and you passed. Could have set up a fund for the few people who edited the tapes to pay their legal fees, would have gotten huge donations.

[Nwgirl503]

23. Please...him using the N or C word would just energize half his base

The other half would be like....still better than those emails. SMH.

[greatbaldeagle]

26. It was funny? Really Tom?

“When the people sent it to me, it was funny,” Arnold said. “Hundreds of people have seen these. It was sort of a Christmas video they put together. He wasn’t going to be president of the United States. It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word, calling his son a retard, just being so mean to his own children. ‘Oh, this is so funny, this is this guy.'”

Is anyone else bothered by this paragraph? So his reaction to the disgusting, racist, misogynistic language he heard was laughter instead of outrage? That says a lot about him. I'm sure a lot of people who should have spoken up but chose to remain silent or laugh at him aren't laughing now.

[forgotmylogin]

44. I can *kinda* understand dismissing some stuff when it's not about the leader of the Free World...

There's a big difference if the guy spouting misogyny and hate speech is a reality TV show personality or a potential person who can make laws that affect you and everyone around you. I'd say that might also apply to some of the women who were the victims of his advances...they could basically go "Well, at least I'll never have dealings with him again..."

[oldtime dfl_er]

53. Not only that

but it was a CHRISTMAS video.

[ProfessorGAC]

90. I Can See It GBE

I can see watching it laughing at Trump for being such a buffoon. I don't know if that's what Arnold meant, but i'm pretty sure i would find it amusing that this silverspoon twit thinks it's ok to talk like that.

[Vinca]

28. It might have been nice to have heard about this in late October.

[TexasBushwhacker]

31. In October, everyone though Clinton had it in the bag

Even on Novemer 7th, almost all the polls thought there was no chance Trump would win. Only Nate Silver gave Trump a 1 out of 3 chance. So Tom decided to protect the Apprentice staffers. If pussy grabbing and walking in on undressed teenagers didn't cost him the election, this wouldn't have either.

[Vinca]

34. You're probably right, although calling his own son a "retard" might have had an impact.

I really feel sorry for that kid.

[TexasBushwhacker]

38. It kind of depends on which son it is

If it's one of the adults, I don't think anyone would give a shit. Plenty of people think calling someone a "retard" is the same as calling them stupid. If he was talking about Barron it might have mattered, but probably not enough to swing the election. I can just hear his minions saying "Well maybe he IS a retard".

[Tommy_Carcetti]

30. To think, Tom Arnold could have saved this country so much grief.

We could have been forever indebted to the great American hero that would have been....Tom Arnold, if only he had the guts to do what he should have done.

Statues could have been made honoring......Tom Arnold.

Tom Arnold, you blew it. And now you're just Stupid.

[zentrum]

74. And not just stupid.

Racist and sexist too. Trumps comments didn't really bother him.

[enid602]

32. tapes

You best believe that Ryan, McConnell and Price alll have copies of these tapes, and will happily share them with the public if tRump gives them any trouble with their plans to gut SS and Medicare this Spring.

[Angry Dragon]

33. kick

[PearliePoo2]

35. Listen to the recording. At about 13:40 in, he says, "Yeah, the tape IS coming out".

He says that Mark Cuban has offered to employee these guys for life and that a writer for Vanity Fair will go to jail to protect their anonymity. Wonder who the writer is that's preparing the story right NOW?
Man, the RePub congress-critters are going to be running and PUKING when they get asked about their President Cheeto's behavior. He called his son a "retard" in front of 30 people?? fuck...that's the worst one of all, imo.

[GusFring]

60. If nothing else, it will embarass the gop amd expose Trump's supporters

I hope its released.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

37. If these recordings have been circulated within the entertainment industry,

why has no one released them before these, or at least mentioned them?

Why am I skeptical of this claim?

[DrToast]

47. Yeah, I don't buy it

They would have leaked if that many people had them.

[JenniferJuniper]

48. They have been mentioned in the past,

but yeah, it's very odd they weren't released before the election if they exist

[.99center]

57. Mark Burnett and Trump have been publicly threatening

Everyone that worked with Trump since the first tape was released. It's not hard to imagine why people in the entertainment industry wouldn't betray NBC, Trump, and Burnett.

They have been mentioned.

http://time.com/4525585/donald-trump-apprentice-tapes/

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

63. But if they'd been widely circulated, it shouldn't be that difficult

to release them to multiple outlets anonymously.

[.99center]

65. "Arnold said those recordings have circulated within the entertainment industry."

Arnold's not claiming they were widely circulated. It took 11 years before someone in the industry leaked the Access Hollywood tape. Cosby drugged and assaulted women in the entertainment industry, at times in NBC studios, for nearly 50 years before the public found out. I don't know the answer to why this type of behavior gets over looked and/or buried by NBC and others in the biz, I'm sure it has something to do with protecting the billions they make off Trump and other entertainers.

"Arnold said. “I said, ‘Well, now these people – two editors and an associate producer — are scared to death. They’re scared of his people, they’re scared of they’ll never work again, there’s a $5 million confidentiality agreement.’”

It's not that difficult but the risk of pissing off G.E. and the incoming president, would make anyone hesitate.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

69. If more than two people have those recordings, releasing them anonymously

would be effective.

[beachbum bob]

40. who really cares about this NOW?

[LanternWaste]

49. Accuracy of the historical record is always relevant.

Accuracy of the historical record is always relevant, regardless of whether it may or may not allow you yourself an advantage.

[bettyellen]

79. And this could impact his ability to seat racist sexist cabinet members

[Mc Mike]

50. Thanks, Arnold. Get a time machine, and mail this info back to 6 weeks ago,

when it will be useful, or will have been useful, or is gonna used to be useful, whatev.

[HassleCat]

54. Cause for a big national shrug.

We know who this guy is. Nobody seems to care.

[LenaBaby61]

56. Of course he doesn't think much of his wife now ...

That she's nearing 50. In his tiny mind it may be time to replace her with a new and younger Melania bot 5000. As for him using the N-word, or calling women c***s, or calling his son a retard. yep that's HIM. He's a rotten, racist, filthy, low-life scum ball.

Having internalized things since Nov. 8ths apocalypse, I don't think that even if Arnold had released this information to the public it would have mattered. Comey was going to release HIS pseudo-bombshell which didn't kill Hillary IMHO, it hurt her more so due to timing. The corporate press would have still been yelling "Emails/CGI, EMAILS EMAILS, EMAILS." The pseudo email bombshell also hurt her with some Dems, and their rationale for not voting for her and for voting 3rd party or not voting period was: She's too crooked/contemptible to vote for. I guess tRump was a saint or something And beyond those things, tRump had the handy work of the GOP in purging voter rolls, depressing/suppressing/cross-checking Dems votes in many a red and a few purple states. You had that other rapist Assange, and FakiLeaks releasing that pseudo evidence (More than likely from russia) against Podesta/Dems, you had racism, sexism, 2nd amendment lovers coming out to vote bigly for a fellow racist, gun-loving pig. Then if those things weren't enough, you had tRump cooking something up with his boy toy putin tang who we know now was instructing his 400 lb cyber-hackers to cyber-hack this election in whatever way that would help his puppet tRumputin.

Hillary was the victim of a "perfect storm" scenario in that everything that could go wrong DID go wrong for her. The scary thing is that she still only lost the big 3: MI, PA and WI by some 58,000 votes, even though many hundreds of thousands of votes were thrown out in MI and something untowardly also happened in WI. Hell, who in hell knows WHAT happened down in FL., a state she was leading that hog tRump in until the very END. Hell, she was leading that hog in MI, WI. and PA. up until the very END. I'm of the mind that something of a cyber-nature was going on against Hillary before the Comey fake email bombshell, because although Hillary had a decent lead late, her numbers were starting to go down before Comey and after a great 3rd debate performance, plus there was NOTHING happening of a negative nature in/around her camp. Yes, thuglicans were coalescing around and going home to their filthy, racist, sexist, p***y-grabbing HOG tRump, but something about her lead in the polling a bit before Comey seems as if it was "off," as so many pollsters got it wrong (Yeah, right) which is why I feel comfortable in saying that maybe the cyber-hacking and meddling was beginning well BEFORE Comey. tRump told his buddies to go "find" those emails of hers. Then he said that the election was rigged against him. Oh, the election was rigged alright. It was rigged for HIM.

Projection MUCH tRump you HOG?

YES.

[blue neen]

70. Epic rant.

Thank you. Trump really is a HOG, in every meaning of the word.

[StevieM]

71. Do you think the Russians hacked the pre-election polling? Or the national exit polls?

I am curious as to how far you believe it may have gone.

I personally believe that the Comey letter was the ultimate October surprise.

[JI7]

58. i think it would have made his supporters even more supportive

And if the media reported it they would also have reported on emails equal or longer length of time.

[Megahurtz]

59. Those words are all in The Deplorables' Dictionary already.

They simply would not care. Narcissistic Sociopathy is now the New Black.

[GoCubsGo]

61. Put up or shut up, Tom. n/t

[Rex]

62. Sadly, his followers will love anything he says that is nasty!

That is how they roll.

[MrPurple]

68. No way to know, but if graphic, could have swayed w/ right timing - last weekend of election

[Ken Burch]

72. And NOW he busts this out...?

[zentrum]

73. Gee, thanks for the Cover Up

......Tom and your "hundreds" of friends in the "entertainment industry" who've seen or heard them.

And what the hell is so "funny" about racial and sexual slurs? What is wrong with you that you kept such things under wraps?

The reasons we lost this election are complex, but this "compilation" sure would have helped us with turn out. Might have made the difference that made the difference.

I'm really disgusted.

[HoneyBadger]

75. Is he saving this for 2020?

[MFM008]

76. Thanks for being a patriot

Arnold.
If the founding fathers thought like you we would all be speaking English....

Wait....

[Sunlei]

82. will Republicans keep THEIR pussy grabber in headline news forever?

[Seedersandleechers]

83. Talk is cheap.

I don't believe it. Thom Arnold is a publicity whore.

[JonLP24]

88. Tom Arnold Sat on Vulgar Trump Tapes, Now Says 'It's On!'

Changes tune after defamation threat; says Trump uses racial slurs, insults own son in 'Apprentice' outtakes

(NEWSER) – Tom Arnold says he sat on video that makes Donald Trump's infamous Access Hollywood recording seem like small potatoes—but the comedian may now be changing his tune on refusing to release them. "Wife told me there's house line VM from Trump Camp about defamation suit so it's on! Open Apprentice vaults 4 discovery! Miss Universe too!!" he tweeted late Tuesday. What Arnold says he's got, per an interview Friday with KIRO radio: "I have the outtakes to The Apprentice where he says every bad thing ever, every offensive, racist thing ever. It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word, calling his son a retard, just being so mean to his own children." Arnold said he was sent the video by someone connected to the reality show before last month's election.

"Hundreds of people have seen these. It was sort of a Christmas video they put together," said Arnold, who claimed Arnold Schwarzenegger's agent urged him to help Hillary Clinton by releasing the video, People reports. "They said, 'I need you to release him saying the N-word,'" says Arnold. He said he couldn't because the editors and producers involved had signed "a $5 million confidentiality agreement" and were "scared to death" of never working again if the Apprentice tape got out. When rumors of the outtakes surfaced before the election, executive producer Mark Burnett said he was legally barred from releasing them. The Guardian reports that representatives for both Arnold and Trump have so far declined to comment on Arnold's claims. In a series of earlier tweets Tuesday defending his decision not to share the video, Arnold spoke of death threats and said the release of the tapes would have resulted in Ted Cruz becoming president.

Ted Cruz???
