Actor turned activist Tom Arnold is "not afraid of dying" in his quest to bring down President Donald Trump with his highly anticipated new TV series - The Hunt for the Trump Tapes.
The True Lies star, and former husband of controversial Trump supporting actress and comedienne Roseanne Barr, saysformer friend Trump will resign once he collates more evidence of his alleged wrongdoing.
And Arnold, 59, tells DailyMailTV that he will not be put off by the menace of multi-million dollar lawsuits and death threats.
Equally, he's not concerned that his Vice TV series could cause damage to his image, because, he says, "I have a terrible reputation."
The explosive upcoming show, which premieres on Tuesday, led to a fight after Arnold claims Apprentice producer Mark Burnett choked him at an Emmy party in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Arnold had been chasing Burnett for months in an attempt to get tapes that he believes show Trump making racial and derogatory comments while filming The Apprentice.
"Mark Burnett just went apes** & choked me at this huge Emmy party then he ran away with his torn Pink shirt & missing gold chain. I'm waiting for LAPD," wrote Arnold on Twitter after the fight.
Multiple people who witnessed the fight told DailyMail.com that the two men were shoving one another but it was unclear who was started the altercation.
Speaking to DailyMailTV in the days before the fight, Arnold said he wasn't concerned for his safety "because the people who get scared – they've quit. I'll quit when it's over. No, I'm not scared about my welfare.
"That's what they do. They threaten to sue you, kill you, or ruin your reputation, which I have a terrible reputation, no money, and I'm not afraid of dying, obviously.
"So when Trump resigns, which will be soon, then I'll take it easy."
Arnold's show, which follows his quest to find tapes of Trump using the N-word will also include interviews with Russian prostitutes linked to the infamous dossier by English spy Christopher Steele alleging unusual sex acts.
Speaking at TV Legend Ed Asner's 6th Annual Celebrity Poker Tournament raising funds for autism, in Los Angeles, Arnold added that Trump is "out of his freaking mind" and that he can't wait to show the world his findings on TV.
"They're fixated because the most powerful man in the world is out of his freaking mind and it just so happens I have a show called The Hunt For The Trump Tapes and it just so happens that there are so many coincidences or things in my life that are in common with this guy," he explained.
Arnold continued: "When I have a lot of things in common with the President of the United States, you know he shouldn't be the President of the United States."
Arnold reckons he has corroboration of Trump using the N-word during his time on The Celebrity Apprentice on NBC.

But he promises other revelations too.
He said: "There are seven people on the show who have come forward. There's more than that. There's every tape. If I get something tonight that can change what's going on now, I will not wait for my show.
"I have serious people along with my crazy self. I will not hold anything back and I promise you, whatever can be done."
Over the past two years Trump has been hit by damaging scandals and claims of affairs with porn stars, but it seems to have not impacted his appeal.
Arnold admitted: "Will [the show] make an impact? Well, when you see what we're doing, he will resign. First of all, I would suggest that everybody do whatever they can and anybody who's doing whatever they can to stand up and say, 'Stop it. This is my country. This is a crisis'."
Arnold continued: "Anybody who knows what's really going on and stands up and says, 'I'm willing to risk everything, because this is that important,' I respect them.
"And there are people who do that and whether that makes a difference, if I'm a feather on the scale that makes this go down, then that's worth it to me.
"And I would suggest that every day it's getting closer to happening."
Arnold, who is close friends with Terminator star and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, recalled how he was once close to Trump.
He said: "Trump's a nightmare. I met Trump 30 years ago. He's been on my sports show, I know him socially.
"I've been to Playboy Mansion with Trump, I went with the creepy guy, and all of a sudden he wanted me to come on The Apprentice, he used to call my house, we were sort of friends and then he started the birther crap and I was like, 'Hell no,' and then from that point on, I can't believe he got elected.
"I have friends who worked on his show, who worked on my sports show who put together a little compilation tape with the N-word etc, and so I'm going to make him resign.
"He's a horrible person, he's incompetent, he's out of his mind, and the people who support him are also horrible racists, so soon he will be resigning.
"That's it, he's horrible and everybody who supports him is horrible and f*** them. That's what's going to happen."
