Comedian Tom Arnold claims he has a copy of the long-rumored Apprentice outtakes of Donald Trump using the N-word.

The comedian made the revelation in an interview on KIRO Radio on Friday.

In addition to using a racist epithet in the clip, Arnold also claims that the now President-elect Trump used the offensive words c*** and retard, the latter in reference to one of his sons.

'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.

Arnold says he received this compilation before the election, from two editors and an associate producer who work on the NBC show.

The people who put the tape together initially didn't release the video because they didn't think Trump had a chance of winning, Arnold claims.

But as the election neared, Arnold says he was contacted by both Hillary Clinton's camp and new Apprentice host Arnold Schwarzenegger's agent in an attempt to to get the video released.

Arnold says he has known Trump for decades, and that while he doesn't agree with him politically, the President-elect can be a 'sweet' person in conversation. The two pictured above attending a party in 2005

'The Sunday before the election, I get a call from [Schwarzenegger's] CAA agent, sitting next to [Clinton]. They said, "I need you to release him saying the N-word,"' he recalls.

Arnold said he refused, in order to protect the three people who made the clip, who became scared of the impact of the scandal on their careers and the possibility of being hit with a $5million fine for violating their confidentiality agreement.

In a Vanity Fair article about the alleged tape, released online Tuesday from their upcoming February issue, one entertainment executive told the magazine that he contact a man with the tape two days before the election.

The article reads: 'Two days before the election, one entertainment executive with ties to Clinton contacted someone in the industry who had said he had a copy of a tape depicting Trump that could create problems for the then candidate.

'Would this person be willing to pass him the footage to give to the Clinton campaign? Since the latest poll numbers indicated it was clear Clinton would win the election—likely in a landslide—this person didn’t want to risk it.'

It's unclear if Arnold is the man mentioned in the Vanity Fair article.

Personally, Arnold doesn't think the tape would have made a difference anyway.

In the days before the election, Arnold says he was contacted by Hillary Clinton's team and Arnold Schwarzenegger's agent to release the tape. Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood icon and former Republican governor of California, is taking over as host of The Apprentice for the upcoming season

'I think if the people that like him saw him saying the N-word, he's sitting matter-of-factly in front of there has to be 30 people there, and he's matter-of-factly saying all of this stuff. So I think they would have liked him more, the people. For being politically incorrect,' Arnold said.

Arnold says he has known Trump for 25 to 30 years, and that while he doesn't agree with him politically, he finds him to be a 'sweet' person in conversation.

'That’s the problem with him, he’s so sweet,' Arnold said. 'He would call my house every year, every year to ask me to do the show and I wouldn’t do it. And then once he started the birther thing, I was like, I’m completely out...'

Arnold went on to describe one of these yearly conversations over joining the cast of the Apprentice.
