Dairo didn’t back down and exposed it all to the American people.
Let’s first see what he actually did.
I’m going to say one thing.
[ __ ] Trump.
[music] I mean, he’s so blatantly stupid.
[music] He’s a punk.
He’s a dog.
He’s a pig.
He’s a con.
A [ __ ] artist.
A mut who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Doesn’t do his homework.
Doesn’t care.
Thinks he’s gaming society.
Doesn’t pay his taxes.
He’s an idiot.
Coen Powell said it best.
He’s a national disaster.
He’s an embarrassment to this country.
It makes me so angry that this country has gotten to this point that this fool, this bozo has wound up where he has.
He talks how he wants to punch people in the face.
Well, I’d like to punch him in the face.
This is somebody that we want for president.
I don’t think [music] so.
What I care about is the direction of this country.
And what I’m very very worried about is that it might go in the wrong direction with someone like Donald Trump in a certain way.
It’s all out of insecurity.
He’s deeply [music] deeply insecure.
He’s uh he’s a he is a malignant narcissist.
He’s a socio-csychopath.
Um he’s created some new language as far as describing somebody in his mental [laughter] condition.
He’s a He’s He’s It’s It’s so frightening and scary [music] and he’s he’s dangerous.
We got to get rid of him.
Do you really worry that if he were to win again, and I’m not saying this like it’s such a far-fetched notion, if he were to win again that he would not give up power after, you know, he won’t.
You know, he won’t.
He even [music] said it.
He’s never going to give it up.
And anybody who deludes themselves in thinking that he is, shame on you.
You have uh compared the Trump family to a gangster family.
What? Which is something coming from you.
What do you mean? Well, they are.
Well, he he because he every he thinks he’s a gangster.
He does everything like a gangster.
I [music] don’t think that gangsters in the in that world would want think much of him.
Um because you in [music] any there’s honor among thieves.
There’s a there’s honor in anything.
If you don’t keep your word and do the right thing with people, no matter what profession you’re in, you are going to get ostracized.
And in that world, it’s a little harder.
Are there’s a big group of people in this country who believe that he cares about them.
I am totally dumbfounded, baffled by that.
I can’t understand it.
And it’s a thing that we’ve seen over the over, you know, decades and decades.
And it’s it’s a he’s a he’s a what’s it? Tammy Fay and the other one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
The same thing, you know, give us your money.
Save.
Yeah.
Television.
It’s just the same thing.
And he’s It’s so obvious.
I just don’t understand.
People could buy it.
Shame.
Shame.
Shame on those Republicans that don’t have the nerve, the balls to go after him.
[screaming] What do they tell their kids? What do they tell their grandkids later when they it’s written in history books how how their what their role is and what they did and they allowed him to do this this he’s a outright criminal and they’re still buying he’s still buying we’re in a very bad situation there’s not I remember you and I about five six years ago talking I down at the spring studios something about [snorts] I said what what just happened just happened.
No, it didn’t [music] didn’t happen.
It’s all about truth.
And what we have here is um a denial of truth all over the place.
And even the speech that he made after [music] is insane.
It’s just insane.
And I’m very very concerned about it.
I think we all are.
Um this it’s it’s insane.
So that’s why I felt I had to do something say something about it [music] um to go on record.
[screaming] Uh yeah, I he he’s so stupid.
[screaming] [cheering] I mean, look look at the lame, innane things that he said.
He’s so stupid.
He can’t even say anything clever or stupid.
He’s a [ __ ] [screaming] but he’s a scary one.
And and in all seriousness, and we know it here, Robert Dairo doesn’t hold press conferences for politics.
He did one in 2024 outside a courthouse.
Before that, one video in 2016.
That’s it.
But in April 2026, he scheduled another one.
No movie premiere, no award acceptance, just Dairo, his attorney, a folding table, and an old digital answering machine from the early 2000s.
He placed the machine on the table, pressed a button, and said six words.
These are from Donald Trump’s voice.
23 saved voicemails spanning 18 years, 1998 to 2016.
Every one of them, Donald Trump calling Robert Dairo asking for something Dairo never gave.
And Dairo kept every single message.
First voicemail plays.
March 1998, Trump’s voice.
Younger, faster, confident.
Bob, it’s Donald Trump.
Listen, we should get together.
Dinner, maybe a deal.
Whatever works.
You’re the best actor.
Everyone knows it.
Call me back.
Seriously, call me.
Dairo doesn’t react.
He just lets it play.
Then he presses the button for the next one.
July 2000.
Bob, it’s Donald again.
I left a message a while back.
Don’t know if you got it.
We really should connect.
I’m doing big things.
You’re doing big things.
Makes sense, right? Call me when you can.
Dairo still doesn’t speak.
He presses the button again.
December 2003.
Trump’s voice.
Slightly annoyed now.
Bob, I don’t get it.
I’ve called you a few times.
Why no call back? We’re both New York guys.
We should be friends anyway.
Call me.
I mean it.
The pattern is forming.
Trump calls.
Dairo doesn’t answer.
Trump calls again.
The room is silent except for Trump’s voice coming out of a machine preserved exactly as he left it asking for validation from a man who refused to give it.
If you grew up in an era when ignoring someone meant they’d eventually stop calling, this timeline reads differently because Trump didn’t stop.
He called through the 2000s.
He called during the apprentice.
He called after Obama roasted him in 2011.
Dairo presses play on message 14, April 2011, 3 days after the White House correspondents dinner.
Trump’s voice is tight faster.
Bob, you wouldn’t believe what happened at this dinner in Washington.
Obama, the whole media, they went after me.
Total disgrace.
You know what that’s like? Being attacked.
We should talk.
Call me.
Dairo’s attorney leans into the microphone.
Mr.
Dairo never returned any of these calls.
Not one.
Message 19.
June 2015.
Trump’s voice is louder now.
More urgent.
Bob.
I’m running for president.
This is real.
I’m serious this time.
I need people like you.
Respected people, tough guys.
If you endorsed me, it would mean something.
Think about it.
Call me back.
Dairo did not call back.
Message 23.
October 2016.
2 weeks before Dairo released his video calling Trump a punk, a dog, a pig, a con.
Trump’s voice on the machine is different now.
Hurt.
Bob, I saw what you’ve been saying about me.
I thought we had respect for each other.
I called you all these years.
You never once called back and now you do this.
You’re better than this, Bob.
Call me.
Let’s settle this like men.
Dairo stops the playback.
He looks into the camera.
I didn’t call him back then either.
The press conference lasts 11 minutes.
Dairo plays seven of the 23 messages.
He doesn’t editorialize.
He doesn’t answer questions.
He just plays Trump’s voice, asking for friendship, for business, for endorsements, for respect from a man who gave him none of it.
Then Dairo leaves.
But here’s what happened next.
2 days after Dairo’s press conference, Meyer Street held her own.
She brought a cardboard box.
Inside four voicemails from Trump between 2006 and 2015.
Each one asking her to attend an event to say something nice about him publicly to acknowledge his success.
She played all four.
In the last one from January 2015, Trump’s voice says, “Merry, I don’t understand why you won’t just say you think I’m doing well.
It’s [music] not hard.
Just one quote.
That’s all I need.
Street closed the box.
I never gave him the quote.
Three days later, Alec Baldwin, six voicemails, 2004 to 2013.
In one, Trump asks Baldwin to stop impersonating him on SNL as a personal favor between two New Yorkers.
Baldwin’s response at his press conference, “I didn’t stop.
” And he kept calling anyway.
