Speaker 0 President Trump, welcome back to meet the press.
Speaker 1 Thank you.
Speaker 0 I wanna dive right into this a lot to get to. Good There are a number of things that make your campaign unprecedented. You are the first former president to run for election in more than a hundred years. You are facing 4 indictment, you have an incredibly significant lead in the Gop primary polls. But I wanna to ask you this mister President.
Speaker 0 Why do you want to be President again?
Speaker 1 Well, it's a very simple answer and I can give it very easily. It's called Make America great again. Our country is in serious trouble. I don't think we've ever been so low in terms of certainly opinion, world opinion and country opinion. People are devastated.
Speaker 1 They look at what's happening with millions of people coming in, millions of illegal immigrants coming into our country flooding our cities flooding the countryside. I think the number is going to be 15000000 people by the time. You end this... By the end of this year, I think the real number is gonna be 15000000 people they come from prisons. They come from mental institutions and insane asylum sir, please don't use that term, but it's true.
Speaker 1 Their terrorists at a level. It it it's very interesting on Nbc. I saw a poll, then I saw some statistics and it said in 20 19, there were no terrorists. They caught no terrorists. There was nothing that they saw.
Speaker 1 There was no anything. And now this year, it's a record number like they've never seen before. So we did a great job with the border. We did a great job with the we did a great job with inflation. We had essentially no inflation.
Speaker 1 We had a great economy. And we didn't have an enough afghanistan disaster sure we were getting out, but we were gonna get out with dignity and pride, not the way they got out. That was a surrender and an embarrassment and horrible. We gave... Sure 85000000000 dollars worth of equipment to the taliban.
Speaker 1 We had death, so much death and so much horrible destruction. And it was a terrible thing. I think was the lowest point in the history of our country. Now, with all of that, we can change it and we can make America great again, and that's why I'm doing this.
Speaker 0 Well, and you have talked about a lot. We are going to delve into a number of Okay. You brought up. Talked about all the people coming across. Border, of course, a lot of families also coming across the border as well.
Speaker 0 I wanna to talk to you about that a little bit later on. But first, let's talk about the breaking news today. The We learned just a short time ago that the President's Son Hunter Biden was indicted by a Federal grand jury on 3 gun charges. Given that, mister President, can you continue to say that there are 2 systems of justice?
Speaker 1 Well, I think there's no question about it. He had a plea deal that was... The deal of the century. The art of the deal, you could write a book on it. The art of the deal and all of a sudden that was broken up by a judge who was able to be a judge actually, who was able to see through what was happening.
Speaker 1 And it's a sad situation. I mean, nobody should be happy about this. I'm not happy happy about it Nobody is. It's a very sad thing and so bad for our country. But, you know, if you think about it, I've been under investigation From The day I came down the escalator.
Speaker 1 And a phony investigation, Fake investigations, investigations that I beat every single time, still under investigations, But it's a very sad thing and it's a slippery slope. Dangerous, very dangerous for our country.
Speaker 0 But you talked about the... Plea Deal But Now Hunter Biden has Been Indicted He's Facing Very Serious Charges. Doesn't That Undercut Your Entire Argument That. Of justice. In country.
Speaker 1 It's 1 of 12 charges. There are 12 possible charges.
Speaker 0 And he's still under on that charge.
Speaker 1 It doesn't affect his father.
Speaker 0 Well, he's still under litigation.
Speaker 1 Well, sure. Maybe. I mean, let's see what happens. But this is the only charge it doesn't affect Joe Biden. This was the gun charge.
Speaker 1 But gun charges are very serious. You know, people have had gun charges and gone to jail for a lot of a lot of years. I pardon some people who I thought it was just horrible what happened, but they were put in jail for many, many years, rappers and others. So look, it's it's a bad thing. But it's 1 of 12 and it's the 1 charge it doesn't affect Joe biden.
Speaker 0 Well, of course, there's no evidence. That The President Has Any link to His Son's Business Dealings. Let Me Ask you.
Speaker 1 About Necessarily He he called in. You mean he called in All these meetings. He was calling In in the meetings. He was put on speaker phone and give me every single day. And...
Speaker 0 The Witness... Many
Speaker 1 many calls. And And What About The Fact That He Got Rid of the Prosecutor For Billion dollars
Speaker 0 The Witness Rid
Speaker 1 of this Prosecutor We're not giving you a billion dollars To Ukraine. He said that. I mean, there are a lot of things here.
Speaker 0 Mister President, the witness who Testified Though Said that He Never Heard Any Discussion Of Business When President Biden Was put on.
Speaker 1 You saw The Prosecutor On Television Because I saw On Your Network. He Said You Don't Get Rid of this For our. I'm not Given 1000000000 dollars.
Speaker 0 That Was Looked into As Well. And as you Know, There Was never Any wrongdoing. I Said That Well... Let's Move on to What A second Trump Term Would Look. When You launched your campaign in March.
Speaker 0 You told the crowd, quote, I am your retribution. What does that mean? What does that look like?
Speaker 1 I think retribution is talking in terms of I have to protect people. What they're doing to people is so horrible. They're putting people in jail for long periods of time, fire man, policeman, accountants, even lawyers there in prisons for years now and don't even have trials in some cases. And if you look at Antifa and other groups, practically nothing happened to them, they burned down Portland. They burned down Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 They took over Seattle. I mean, they literally took over a big chunk of the city. People died and nothing happened to him. We have to protect all people.
Speaker 0 But when you talk about retribution, Are you talking about directing your attorney general to try to go after Your political...
Speaker 1 When I talk about retribution, I'm talking about fairness. We have to treat people fairly. These people on January sixth. They want some of them never even went into the building and they're being given sentences of, you know, many years.
Speaker 0 Are you gonna partner?
Speaker 1 Nothing is happening Well, I'm gonna look at them and certainly might if I think it's appropriate. No. It's a very very sad thing, and it's... They're dividing the country so badly, and it's very dangerous.
Speaker 0 Well, Mister President, we're Going to Delve Into that a little bit Later On. But I want to Stay On This Idea of What You Mean By Retribution. Are you looking to a appoint an attorney general who will prosecute the people you tell them to prosecute?
Speaker 1 I'm looking to a don’t. An attorney general, who's gonna be tough on crime and fair. Very simple.
Speaker 0 And go after your political enemies?
Speaker 1 No. No. I would never do that, but Biden has done that. Look, Biden. These aren't indictment against me.
Speaker 1 These are Biden indictment. This isn't God coming down and very fairly said, go you spoke badly about an election. The election was rigged, there's no question about that. There's so much proof on it. Even if you go to the more modern day proof with the they go Twitter files, Fbi and Twitter, or you take a look at the Amazon stuff for the Google stuff or you take a look at 2000 mules.
Speaker 1 You take a look at all of the ballot stuffing that's on tape. You take a look at the fact that the legislature didn't approve a lot of the things that were done in the elections and they had to approve and we could go on forever. We could go on forever. But now’, I want somebody that's going to be strong, respected, tough and fair.
Speaker 0 Just to go back to a couple of the points. She said the ballots stuffing. That's something that's been debunked. It hasn't... You know Let's don’t Camera.
Speaker 0 But let's I do wanna keep moving forward.
Speaker 1 But for it's on camera. Hundreds even thousands and thousands of people. You take a look through the vote. Take a look. It's on camera.
Speaker 0 But mister P
Speaker 1 They have I know the person, you can't say. Have they thousands of pitch
Speaker 0 pictures on people.
Speaker 1 I know you have to say that for your network, but you shouldn't say it. That... Because that's problem.
Speaker 0 Mister president The
Speaker 1 News has lost such power.
Speaker 0 Let's say On Track though mister President.
Speaker 1 Let's Saying it hasn't. We have thousands of Essentially motion pictures of people stuffing The Ballot boxes. Mister Of Thousands.
Speaker 0 They're Not Stuffing The ballot boxes And You've been told That By your Top law enforcement officials. But let's stay on track because we have so much ground
Speaker 1 to come people that went ground. Voted to cover in 1 place, another place, another place, as many as I understand. 28 different places in 1 day with 789 ballots a piece. Can't do anymore because it would look too phony. These were professional people, 20 They were stuffing the ballot boxes.
Speaker 1 It's it's there. Mister I mean, it's there You... A lot of people are like
Speaker 0 60 different cases all across The country. You lost that, but let's stay on track.
Speaker 1 We lost because the judges didn't wanna hear them.
Speaker 0 Mister President, If
Speaker 1 many... This were ever before a court. We would win so easy. There is so much evidence that the election was rigged. And you may not even put the section on your show and you'll have to decide what you wanna do.
Speaker 1 But People know it was Rigged, look the media
Speaker 0 President When I first now’
Speaker 1 involved in politics.
Speaker 0 You know there's no evidence of that. We you have so many different
Speaker 1 Meng evidence.
Speaker 0 I wanna talk about What This.
Speaker 1 You agree there was Twitter files. Right?
Speaker 0 Mister President.
Speaker 1 Agree there were 51 intelligence agents that lied. You agree Not
Speaker 0 the 1 who's being Let's stay on track because I wanna talk about...
Speaker 1 That's review the election elections.
Speaker 0 That's what voters want to hear about mister President. Let's talk about what's happening on Capitol Hill Right now. So Mccarthy announced that he was launching an impeachment inquiry this week. Into President Biden. Do you see this as a part of the retribution that you see?
Speaker 1 No. Not at all. I think look. You look at the terrible things that have been happening with respect to Biden? Look at everything Jamie Come, Jim Jordan now’ of fantastic people and very legitimate people.
Speaker 1 I watched Jamie Come just a little while ago talking about a lot of different facets of what's going on. And he was the 1 that said, I guess there were there are 12 things where it looks like it's stone, cold, guilty. And the gun charge is only 1 of the 12. He said this is the only 1 that doesn't imp Joe Biden.
Speaker 0 So but My question For You. Did You Talk To Speaker Mccarthy About This House and
Speaker 1 Talk to him.
Speaker 0 Tell him That He should Open Out?
Speaker 1 No Now’. Don’t don't agree. I don't Think you'd... Do that. I mean, he wouldn't do it based on me.
Speaker 1 No.
Speaker 0 Did you talk to your Republican allies on Capitol Hill and say you should support this?
Speaker 1 Now’. Don’t don't have to talk them more proactive than I am. They think it's terrible. I will say this, They think I was treated very unfairly. I mean, when I was impeached.
Speaker 1 For perfect phone call. And now it turned out to be perfect. I hope you will admit that at least because I was right, a hundred percent right. But I was impeached for a perfect phone call and how sad that is, and we had a hundred and 96 to nothing vote. Republicans.
Speaker 1 Very unusual for the Republican part. I was so proud of a hundred 96 the entire house, not 1 person, to dissent it. And then other than Romney who sort of get... Gave me half of vote, but we had a hundred percent in the senate People Think I was treated Very unfairly.
Speaker 0 Well, the People I
Speaker 1 now’ I was.
Speaker 0 People who voted For that impeachment Say That... The phone call that you referenced was about a quid pro quo. It was perfect. But my phone
Speaker 1 call was perfect. My phone call was a... Please investigate any crimes that you see. And by the way, a mandated to do that as the president of the United States And it was really really a call to congratulate him on winning the election.
Speaker 0 But president let...
Speaker 1 What when you talk about quid pro quo, please don't talk about quid pro because there don’t none in the call at all. Where there's a where quick quote. Was when Biden said very strongly, We're not gonna give them the billion dollars unless they get rid of the prosecutor. That's a quid pro quo.
Speaker 0 Mister President, let me take a step back here because a lot of voters say what they wanna talk about right now is your vision for the future. Sure. And I've been traveling to a lot of the early voting states and they say that your focus on the past is a problem for them. What do you say to those folks?
Speaker 1 I have no focus on the past, except. That you have to learn from history. You have to learn from the past. We had an election that was very, very terrible. It's a terrible thing for our country.
Speaker 1 And you have to learn from that. You can't forget that and just go, now, with all of the things that we said, I had the best economy maybe in history. We're
Speaker 0 gonna Talk about It Neck. Right So let's say.
Speaker 1 I had the best economy in history and I'm gonna do it again. I had the best energy. We were energy independent soon to be energy dominant. Now we're Right begging for energy. I mean, what they've done to this, they're destroying our country.
Speaker 0 We're gonna talk about the economy in just a minute. But before we move on from Capitol Hill. Do you think Republican hard liner should abandon their threat to shut down the government over their spending priorities? Now that there is this.
Speaker 1 Now’. I think if they don't get a fair deal, We have to save our country. We have 35000000000000 dollars in debt, We have to save our country
Speaker 0 now’ the government. You'd support that.
Speaker 1 I shut down the government if they can't make an appropriate deal. Absolutely.
Speaker 0 Okay. Let's talk about the economy. And I wanna to start by talking about this big standoff. Between the auto workers and the big 3 auto manufacturers manufacturers. My question for you, mister President, don’t side are you don’t in this?
Speaker 1 I'm on the side of making our country grade. The auto workers are not going to have any jobs when you come right down to it. Because if you take a look at what they're doing with electric cars, electric cars are gonna be made in China. The auto workers are not gonna have any I'll tell you what. The Auto workers Are Being sold Down The River By Their Leadership And Their Leadership Should Endorse Trump.
Speaker 1 The reason is You're gonna have choice like in school, I want school choice. I also want choice for cars. If somebody wants gasoline, if somebody wants all electric, they can do whatever they want. But they're destroying the consumer, and they're destroying the other workers, the auto workers will not have any jobs, Kristen because the all of these cars are gonna be made in China. The electric cars automatically are going to be made in China.
Speaker 0 So let's talk about Ua leadership, The president Sean Fe. Has withheld his endorsement of President Biden, But this is what He had to say about you. Quote, another Donald Trump presidency would be a disaster. How would You win that endorsement?
Speaker 1 Well, if that's the case, I probably won't win His. Don’t know the gentleman, But I know his name very well. And I think he's not doing a good job in representing his union because he's not gonna have a union in 3 years from now. Those jobs are all gonna be gone because all of those electric cars are gonna be made in China. That's what's happening.
Speaker 1 Number 1. Number 2. The electric cars are much more expensive and they don't go far enough. So if somebody wants to take a little bit of a look just like the truck, If somebody wants to take a little bit of a long ride, let's go to Maine or let's go to Kentucky from New York, you can't do it. I mean you have to stop all the time.
Speaker 1 They don't go far enough. They're very expensive. They have a lot of drawbacks backs. Now, with that being said, some people are don’t want them, some people are gonna... Travel short distances.
Speaker 1 What they're doing with our trucking industry is a disaster because they want all electric trucks, and a truck on a large with a large tank, large gasoline or diesel capacity can go up to 2000 miles an electric truck goes 300 miles. So 1 of these guys gonna do, They're gonna they're going to stop every 300 miles and recharge their truck and spend 3 hours.
Speaker 0 Let's move on and talk about another big picture issue when it comes to the economy. The issue of interest rates, inflation. Something that You've Talked a lot about. Yeah. Federal Reserve is Obviously independent.
Speaker 0 But I wonder Mister President, If you are elected, would you direct your federal Reserve chair to lower interest rates?
Speaker 1 Well, you know that I put a lot of pressure on him? It was outside pressure because nobody knows whether or not you can really do that. But I did because I thought his interest rates were too high and he ultimately dropped his interest rates the same gentleman, as you know. And but it was a lot of pressure. I mean, I was very active on that.
Speaker 1 Right now, interest rates are very high. They're too high. People can't buy homes. They can't do anything. I mean, they can't borrow money.
Speaker 1 The banks don't have the money. The banks aren't lending the money, The banks. By the way, Chase Manhattan Bank, Bank of America, they discriminate against conservatives. It's a disgrace and they shouldn't be allowed to. And I'm gonna do something about that.
Speaker 1 But you take a look at banks. Throughout the country And I think because of the regulators, But you take a look at Bank of America and Chase, they discriminate against conservatives just mister. We'll give we'll give you plenty of.
Speaker 0 Alright. Well, let's stay on track with this question though. So just to be very clear, if you were reelected, would you direct are Fed Chair to Lower interest rates?
Speaker 1 It depends. It depends. He Minds where inflation is. But I Would Get inflation down because Drill we must. We will be drilling for oil.
Speaker 1 We are gonna become again energy independent. We are going to reduce our debt. Because we're also going to become energy dominant. You know, we were ready to go dominate within a matter of months. We would have been making so much money.
Speaker 1 We have more oil I call it liquid gold under our feet than any other countries saudi Arabia, Russia and there's no country with more and it's sweet. It's the finest. We have the best. You know, we're taking it from Venezuela. You know what it is, Tar.
Speaker 1 Are you... It's just the worst.
Speaker 0 Mister President, are you gonna appoint a new Fed chair if... You're reelected?
Speaker 1 Well, I guess he would have 2 years left or something like that. So we'll see. Okay. Alright. You now’ the word jaw bon?
Speaker 1 You're I did a lot of joe don’t against him. And he ultimately lowered interest or it's we had low interest rates. We had the best housing market ever. We had people buying homes. Accommodate people can't buy homes.
Speaker 0 Economists are looking at some of the figures right now. The fact that the unemployment rate is at 3.8 percent And they say it looks like the Us may not dip into a recession. What do you make of that assessment?
Speaker 1 I don't know. Yet people are gonna have They... They say that and then you end up in a depression. They say you're don’t do great end up bad. And the opposite.
Speaker 1 These most of them don't know what they're doing. It's a touch It's a feel. And I... Predicted a lot of markets. I predicted a lot of things, frankly, you know?
Speaker 1 They say Trump was right about everything. I think that the way it's going now, you're don’t have to... Things are not going right now very well, for the consumer. Bacon is up 5 times. Food is up horribly worse than energy, very Energy is starting to go up at a level that we haven't seen in a long time, meaning a couple of years since he took over.
Speaker 1 Because I had energy prices very low. I had gasoline very low. We have to get the energy down which they will never do because and they kept it artificial because they took these strategic reserves, which I had a lot to do with filling up for the first time ever. They took the strategic reserves, and he issued it to everybody so that he could keep the gas prices down. Now, Strategic reserves at the lowest level They've ever been at and we need that for war.
Speaker 0 And There Are Of Factors That... Contributed to Now’.
Speaker 1 The big factor is the fact that he he took that order.
Speaker 0 Let's let's talk about
Speaker 1 that and he let... He wanted to have low gas prices for an election. And now we have nothing left.
Speaker 0 Mister President, there are a lot of factors including global factors that went into. Let's talk about Taxes though. I don’t now’
Speaker 1 now’ why people stick up. You have so much when he makes bad decisions. Like you. Don’t don't know Why. I have a lot of respect for you and you We're Very Fair in the debate.
Speaker 1 But I don't know Why you and other people say, oh, It's okay that He... Destroyed the strategic. No Petroleum reserves. I mean, why do you do that? Or it's okay that he has open borders.
Speaker 1 Somebody resident... In your position not quite as good, said this morning, oh, having open borders is a wonderful thing. I don't know why I think that's why
Speaker 0 Now’ media has no. We're not president. We're just having a conversation. Let me talk to you about taxes. And and your differences with president Biden over taxes.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 0 He wants to raise corporate tax rates to 28 percent. It's reported you wanna lower them to 15 percent Is That true?
Speaker 1 I'd like to lower them a little bit if we could. But what I wanna do is we have to get some income coming And you know when I lower taxes, we took in more revenue.
Speaker 0 The 15 percent You
Speaker 1 now’ that when I depends. It depends on where we are at the time. You know, lot happens in a year. But when I lower taxes, I cut taxes tremendously. Create tremendous step.
Speaker 1 So more importantly, we had more revenue with lower taxes than we did with higher tax.
Speaker 0 You Also added 8000000000000 dollars To the National Debt Your Gop Challenger, Nikki Haley Made That Point Saying, quote, The Truth Is That Biden Didn't Do This To Us Republicans Did This Us To A don’t We
Speaker 1 Had a Thing Happened To us. We The Greatest Economy In History. Then We got Hit with Covid. And we had to keep this this beautiful thing going. And if I didn't do that, if we didn't put some money and nobody knew what Covid was.
Speaker 1 Remember. This was a new thing that... Came In Somebody said It's Dust Coming In From China. It Came From China. They tried And denied it Or They tried For a little while and We Didn't Let it Came From Wuhan Actually.
Speaker 1 Which now they agree. Everybody's now agreeing that it came from 1. I said that years ago, but we had to do things that were very severe. We had to let some money come out. We were going to.
Speaker 1 We were in the verge of doing something that was amazing. We were going to have energy at a level bigger than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined. That energy was going to be sold to Europe and all other places. The prices would have come down. We were gonna make a fortune and we were don’t start paying off debt.
Speaker 1 Instead, we got hit with Covid, people didn't need oil because nobody was driving all over the world. I mean, frankly, It was a disaster. What China did to the world with Covid is something that we're gonna get to the bottom of. And they have to pay something back. You know, Nobody can pay back the cost of all those lives and all the money that was lost, but nobody can pay back the lives and all of the damage it was cost.
Speaker 1 But Toot You now’ what?? Have to? They have to pay something back.
Speaker 0 Nikki to do something though. What do you say to her?
Speaker 1 Nikki Hell. I mean, I know Nikki Hell very well. She's I'm the greatest president. She she left she said him the greatest president. Now she's running for office and she says something.
Speaker 1 Look, look, Nikki Haley doesn't know anything about it. She's a politician. She knows nothing about it. Very nice woman. Some people like that.
Speaker 1 I I would say. But she left office. She said, very strongly. I will never run. He was a great president.
Speaker 1 And then in some cases said the greatest president in my lifetime in 1 case say the greatest president Ever. Now she's running. Nikki Haley has nothing to do with this. We will we were going to make a fortune or for energy. We were going to send the energy to Europe.
Speaker 1 Europe was gonna pay us tremendous amounts of money. And I'll tell you you would have never had the Ukraine monster at all. It would have never happened. Russia would have never got just by... Sheer force of personality.
Speaker 1 But beyond personality. What happened is when oil hit a hundred dollars a barrel, and or and by the way, it's right there right now, again, Putin makes a fortune on this war. You know, everybody said, oh, hey, Can't afford it. If Biden allowed my policies to stay in place. Oil would right now be at 40 dollars a barrel and putin wouldn't be able to afford that them.
Speaker 0 We are gonna get to the war in Ukraine. But first, I do want to Talk About The Issue Of Abortion, Which Is. Important To A lot of voters all across The Country. Just This Week Women In Idaho and Tennessee. I don’t know if you saw This.
Speaker 0 Filed suit against their state saying their lives were put at risk after they were denied abortion services because their state's restrictive laws, put in place after Roe was overturned? So my question for you Mister President is how is it acceptable in America that women's lives are at risk Doctors are being forced to turn away patients in need or risk breaking the law.
Speaker 1 Ready? Little bit of a long answer. I hope you have time.
Speaker 0 I hope you have time. I'm here for you have
Speaker 1 Ro v Wade For 52 years, people, including Democrats. Wanted it to go back to states so that states could make the right. Ro wade, I I did something that nobody thought was possible. And Ro v wade was terminated woods put back to the states. Now, people pro life have the right to negotiate for the first time They had no rights at all.
Speaker 1 Because the radical people on this are really the people... The Democrats that say after 5 months 6 months, 7 months, 8 months and even f To birth. You're allowed to Press terminate the Baby
Speaker 0 Saying That. I just Have This... Democrats are Not saying.
Speaker 1 You Have a Virginia Governor To Previous governor Who said after the baby is born, you will make a determination. And if you want, you will Kill that baby. The baby
Speaker 0 is Now’ writ large. Are Not Talking About That Only 1 percent Of Late term abortions Happen Always In. This State
Speaker 1 They are the Radical people. And because nobody wants to see this abortion after 5 months and 6 months and 7 months. And now it's going to... It gave people that believe and... Pro life.
Speaker 1 Look, just see saying. It's pretty much 50 50. It's a 50 50 Is amazing. If you look at the charts, it's been 49 51. It's been like that.
Speaker 1 For many years goes both ways. 51 both ways. Ready. I was able to do something, which gave at least pro life people, of voice. Now it's gonna work out.
Speaker 1 Now the number of months will be
Speaker 0 And you
Speaker 1 And you're going to have something when everybody comes together.
Speaker 0 It bother you though that women say their lives are being put at risk. Do you feel you bear any responsibility Because as You Say You Are Responsible.
Speaker 1 What's Going To Happen. This is an Issue That's Been Going On For a Long Time And it's A Very Polarizing Issue. Because of what's been done and because of the fact we brought it back to the states, we're going to have people come together in this issue, they're gonna determine the time, because nobody wants to see 56789 months, nobody wants to see abortions when you have a baby in the womb. I said, with Hillary Clinton when we had the debate. I made a statement, ripped the baby out of the womb in the ninth month.
Speaker 1 You're allowed to do that. You shouldn't be allowed to do that.
Speaker 0 Again, no 1 and again argues for that. That's not a part of anyone mister Democrats
Speaker 1 are able to kill the baby after birth
Speaker 0 Talk to
Speaker 1 you Nobody wants that.
Speaker 0 That Democrats don't want that. We're let I wanna know what you want. I wanna now’ what you're gonna do with yuri
Speaker 1 We are going to
Speaker 0 Sign federal Legislation that would ban abortion at 15 weeks.
Speaker 1 Now’. No. Let me just tell you what I do. I'm gonna come together with all groups. And we're gonna have something that's acceptable.
Speaker 1 Right now to my way of thinking, the Democrats are the radicals Because after 4 and 5 and 6 months, but but you have to say this after birth, you have New York State and other places, that passed legislation. Where you allowed to kill the baby after birth?
Speaker 0 Mister President, I wanna give voters who are going to be weighing in on this election. Yeah. A very clear sense
Speaker 1 I think I think they're all gonna like me. I think both sides are gonna like me.
Speaker 0 Let me have to happen
Speaker 1 is you're gonna have to. You're asking me a question. What's going to happen is you're gonna come up with a number of weeks or months, You're going to come up with a number that's going to make people happy. Because 92 percent Of The Democrats Don't Want To See Abortion After A Certain period of time.
Speaker 0 If. A federal ban landed on your desk if you were reelected. Would you sign it at 15?
Speaker 1 You talking about a complete ban?
Speaker 0 Ban at 15 well
Speaker 1 people people are starting to think of 15 weeks that seems to be a number that people are talking about right now.
Speaker 0 Would you sign that?
Speaker 1 I would I would sit down with... Both sides and I'd negotiate something and will end up with peace in that issue for the first time in 52 years. I'm not gonna say Wood or I wouldn't. I mean, Des saint is is willing to sign a 5 week and 6 week. Did you support that?
Speaker 1 You think that... What he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake. But we'll come up with a number. But at the same time, Democrats won't be able to go out in 6 months 7 months, 8 months and allow an abortion. And Kristen Have to Look at This Because you Said No.
Speaker 1 You Have Some States That are Allowed To Kill The Child After Birth And You Don’t Allow That.
Speaker 0 But Mister President, Again, No 1 Is. Calling for a child to be killed after birth. No one's calling for that
Speaker 1 You have legislation. Let
Speaker 0 me just ask.
Speaker 1 You have legislation in certain states where it's allowed. Mister President Governor of Virginia Previous governor Who Was. I call him The Michael Jackson Governor.
Speaker 0 Now’ one's Governor their platform. I wanna
Speaker 1 now’ what that governor said you can kill the baby after birth.
Speaker 0 Mister President this is about what you would do. Talking if you were reelected As You Know You Have Upset
Speaker 1 Agree To a number of Weeks, which will be where both sides will be happy. We have To bring the Country together on the Sea.
Speaker 0 Mr president when you talk about negotiating, I think a lot of people think to themselves. This is an issue that they care about Care about it Their heart. They know where they stand and they wanna know where you stand. As you know, some anti abortion groups are really looking for some clarity from you. So let me just ask you to put a fine point on this.
Speaker 0 Should The Federal Government Impose Any Abortion Restrictions Or Should It Be Completely Left Up To The States?
Speaker 1 No. Don’t don't Think You Should Have. I don't think you should be allowed to have abortions well into a pregnancy.
Speaker 0 But what about the question I agree.
Speaker 1 Now’. We're going to agree to a number of weeks or months or. However you wanted to define it. And both sides are gonna come together and both sides both sides and this is a big statement. However Both sides will come together.
Speaker 1 And for the first time in 52 years, you'll have an issue that we can put behind us.
Speaker 0 At the federal level?
Speaker 1 It could be state or it could be federal. I don't frankly care.
Speaker 0 So you're not committed to a ban.
Speaker 1 I wanna say this everybody, including the great legal scholars, love the idea of ro way terminated so it'd be brought back to the states.
Speaker 0 It sounds like that's what you think too. That should write a state
Speaker 1 I would say this from a pure standpoint from a legal standpoint. I think it's probably better, but I can live with it either way. It's much more important the number of weeks is much more important. But something will happen with the number of weeks, the amount of time, after which you can't do it. And you know what?
Speaker 1 The... The most the most powerful people that are anti abortion are okay with that now. And you know what? They weren't okay with that even a year ago.
Speaker 0 You're former Vice President Mike Pence believes that Fe should have constitutional rights. Do you believe that Mister
Speaker 1 Pence said something about 15 weeks too, which was a big change for Mike Pence. Because Mike Pence had no exceptions. I have exceptions by the way. I think people should have exceptions. I think if it's rape or inc or the life of the mother I think you have to have exceptions.
Speaker 0 If Fe Have Constitutional right.
Speaker 1 And a lot of people when they don't have exceptions. Now, I will tell you that I think most people... Most republicans are willing. You go life of the mother. Mh.
Speaker 1 Rape, inc I think most of them are there.
Speaker 0 But should affect big state constitutional rights, mister President
Speaker 1 Well, Don’t now’ I don't know what he's saying because Before he wanted... You know, you couldn't have a...
Speaker 0 Are you? Now’ all of you
Speaker 1 excuse me? Now all of a sudden, he's saying 15 weeks. I said, wow, where did that come from? That's a radical change. Look, something is going to happen.
Speaker 1 That's going to be good for everybody. And that's what I'm I'm almost like a mediator in this case. They wanted Ro v wade terminated because it was inappropriate. We got it done. Something is going to happen.
Speaker 1 It's gonna be a number of weeks. Something's going to happen where the both sides are gonna be able to come together. And then we'll be able to go into other things like the economy, our military
Speaker 0 Are you saying a federal bandwidth with exceptions? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 What I say is very simple because you can't put words in my mouth like that. I Me talk about this issue. And I think talk about it very productively, very It could be a state ban. It could be a federal ban, but Democrats want that too. Democrats don't wanna see abortion in the seventh month.
Speaker 1 Okay. I speak to a lot of Democrats. They want a number. There is a number and there's a number that's going to be agreed to. And Republicans should go out and say the following they...
Speaker 1 Because I think the Republicans speak very ina articulate about this subject. I watch some of them without the exceptions, etcetera, etcetera. I said, other than certain parts of the country, you can't... You're not gonna win this issue. But you will win on this issue when you come up with the right number of weeks because Democrats don't wanna be radical on the issue.
Speaker 1 Most of them, some do. They don't wanna be radical on the issue. They don't wanna kill a baby in the seventh month or the ninth month or after birth. And they're allowed to do that and you can't do that.
Speaker 0 I have a very robust foreign policy section to get to. I do wanna give you an opportunity to talk about some of your legal challenges. So if we could do that first and then we'll move on. To foreign policy. You are facing 4 indictment.
Speaker 1 Biden excuse me. Biden Political indictment. He Said To the
Speaker 0 Said nothing To Said
Speaker 1 To The Attorney General ind him. They put in There's Now’ York Case which everybody and this doesn't even the. President. They're that. You know what?
Speaker 1 He started something. That's a very slippery slope. He said, I've got a guy that's beating me in the polls. I'm beating all the Republicans by a lot and I'm beating him by a lot. I have somebody that's in...
Speaker 1 That's beating me in the polls ind dyed him. And they not only that, they took Their top person in The Department of Justice and put them into the Manhattan Da Office. They're dealing with Fannie Willis All The time.
Speaker 0 Mr. President Attorney General Appointed Special Counsel To Investigate You, President Biden And President Biden Sun hunter Who was also indebted today. But I
Speaker 1 do Wanna does not fall within the Presidential Records Act. And frankly, you don't ever hear anything about The Special Counsel. But they gave me this der person named Jack Smith. He's a der Luna tech. We I fall within the Presidential Records Act.
Speaker 1 It's very simple. It's a civil thing. In fact, the New York Times of all institutions did a story and it was headline, please please please, mister President, could we take a look at the documents? And they said in the story that the only way you can get documents, from a president is if you go there and say please. Because this is civil, and they won't even have a lawsuit They may have a civil lawsuit at most, but they probably don't even have a civil lawsuit.
Speaker 1 And this should never have been an indictment. There's no criminal. Now there is criminal for Joe Biden. Because he was a senator and he was a vice president.
Speaker 0 Well, the charge is a senator vice president. The Presidential Records act. But let me ask my question so we can get to foreign.
Speaker 1 This comment within the presidential Right.
Speaker 0 Let me ask.
Speaker 1 That's what it's about.
Speaker 0 Let me just ask these questions, and then we can move on to some other topics. You are facing 4 indictment 91 Felony.
Speaker 1 You Would Say It properly, I'm Facing For Biden Indictment. He Told The Justice Department To Item him Or Merrick Garland Said Let's Item him.
Speaker 0 Let me Ask You This. Mister President.
Speaker 1 Indicted their political apology.
Speaker 0 I just want to hear from you on this, I wanna know what's in your head. When you go to bed at night, Do you worry about going to jail?
Speaker 1 No. I don't, really. I don't even think about it. I'm built a little differently, I guess, because I have had people come up to me and say, how do you do it, sir? How do you do it?
Speaker 1 I don't even think about it. These are corrupt people that I'm dealing with. They're destroying our country. I don't even think about it. All I think about is making the country great, making America great.
Speaker 1 Look, these are political. These are banana republican indictment. These are third world and indictment. The president of the United States sees how we're doing. We have a movement, the likes of which has never happened in this country before.
Speaker 1 And you see it with the polls, I mean, I'm up on these people by 60 points and 59 points. I don't mean at I'm a 59. I'm leading them by 59. You almost say, like, why are they campaigning? Isa Hutchinson.
Speaker 1 He's at 0. Christie at 2. Other ones are at 1. Des san pneumonia is at 9. I just see a po.
Speaker 1 I mean, I'm leading him by 60 points.
Speaker 0 Mister President
Speaker 1 You say, why are they doing it, But here's what they did. They saw this happening. And he went to the attorney general of the United States and he told them in D Trump.
Speaker 0 There's just no evidence of all what? Let's say all the lies. He's President. I wanna talk.
Speaker 1 Wait minute. Wait Wait. Could I say 1 thing. Look at all the lies he's told over the last couple of weeks. He said he was at the World Trade center and he wasn't.
Speaker 1 He said he flew airplanes. Right? He didn't. He said he drove trucks. And he didn't.
Speaker 1 Everything he says is like a lie, it's terrible.
Speaker 0 Mister President
Speaker 1 Even his handicap. He said a 6. He's not a single.
Speaker 0 I wanna stay focused on you. Okay. For the purposes of this interview, Okay? Because it's important that we hear from you about all of this.
Speaker 1 Well Like you to, but you keep interrupting me.
Speaker 0 Tell me mister President, tell me what you see when you look at your mug shot.
Speaker 1 I see somebody. That loves this country in me that loves this country. I see tremendous unfair. I think very few people would have able been able to handle what I hand. When I was coming down the escalator with melania, I was already under investigation, because they saw how well I was doing in the polls, and it just got worse and worse, and we caught them.
Speaker 1 We said they were spying on our campaign it turned out to be true. They had the fake dossier that turned out to be true. It was paid for by the Democrat party it was all fiction. All of these things happened impeachment hoax number 1, impeachment Hoax number 2. I've been treated very badly and I've won every single time.
Speaker 1 When you say do I sleep? I sleep. I sleep because I truly feel that in the end, we're going to win. I think we're gonna win an election, the likes of which nobody's ever seen before. I don't think anything's gonna stop it, nothing's gonna stop and because people see what's happened to our country.
Speaker 1 We're not respected in the world. Look at other countries, look at what's happened, everybody's going to the side of China Russia, saudi.
Speaker 0 We're gonna talk about that. Don’t No President I wanna I Wanna delve the world. But let's get through this and then I wanna talk to you about all of those issues. You just talked about mister President. By the way, do you think your former chief of staff, Mark Meadows is still loyal to he just pleaded not guilty.
Speaker 1 Well I Hope his Loyal to
Speaker 0 You worry about him flipping? Do you don’t anything Okay Let's Talk about Georgia. I want To talk about that phone call. That You Made To Georgia Secretary Of State. Republican Rad.
Speaker 1 That was Even More Perfect Than My Call To.
Speaker 0 Let's Talk About
Speaker 1 It. President of Ukraine Okay. So Perfect. Just before you start. Many top legal scholars.
Speaker 1 Almost everyone. But many top have analyzed that phone call. That was a phone call made in front of. I guess, 7 or 8 lawyers, Brad Rat, The Head who By the way. Last week said, I Didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 1 He Said that was a negotiation. Brad Rat, who I was dealing with. I appreciate that he said that. But he said last week. I didn't.
Speaker 0 About it So we can move on Just
Speaker 1 tell you 1 other thing. When I spoke, I knew I was probably being taped. I didn't ask, but I knew I was probably being taped. You know they illegally tape me because they take me in Florida, it's a 2 party state. You know that.
Speaker 1 Right? So they illegally tape the goal. But forget about that. For a second, I knew that there were many lawyers in the phone from the other side from... There were many people.
Speaker 1 There were many people in the phone. When I told them, I said the election was rigged. I said all sorts of things about the election. They told you believe it a hundred percent. I have all the facts.
Speaker 1 Look, I have all the facts. I... In 1 way, I look for a trial. Because it was so dishonest. Okay.
Speaker 1 So rigged and such a dangerous thing for our country. We have to have borders and we have to have fair elections. We have neither. Then I wanna talk about this reporter.
Speaker 0 I Border, but we've when I spoken
Speaker 1 from of Brad Rat who again, last week said I didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 0 Well It Sounded Like You were Asking For Him to Thousand Votes.
Speaker 1 No. And You Know That. You you're you're Terrible When you Say This You To a Bad Start. Because what I said was very simple. I got cheated in this election.
Speaker 0 He told you
Speaker 1 all I need is like 11000, whatever the number was,
Speaker 0 Brad rat got children 0 republican and said you didn't get.
Speaker 1 Well, he said that, but we have to go and see. You know, there's are some court cases out there. We wanna go into Fulton County and we wanna see the real votes. And it's so hard.
Speaker 0 He said They looked into it. The election Had been certified to Want them.
Speaker 1 I wanna look into it.
Speaker 0 I the president The election
Speaker 1 Instead votes. Which we're close to getting in court. As you know, If we got access to those votes, if we look in, you will find numbers that you wouldn't believe, More importantly, let me just say this.
Speaker 0 I wanna get through this, mister Christ.
Speaker 1 You have to just hear me for.
Speaker 0 Foreign policies.
Speaker 1 We had... Because you... You know, you say something and then you wanna go into the next subject. We had many people in the line. When I said, if I spoke for an hour.
Speaker 1 I knew that many people are in the like, I knew it was the... Who is... Who I happen to be a really smart person. Who is going to be talking badly when I have lawyers and many other people. On the line, nobody's gonna say something bad.
Speaker 1 But if it was bad, why didn't they say sir, that was very inappropriate of you to say, nobody said that well nobody said, sir, there was only a long time after the call that somebody said, oh, maybe he said something wrong.
Speaker 0 They said
Speaker 1 There there's
Speaker 0 no evidence.
Speaker 1 This is a home Just like... Russia Russia Russia. Just like Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine. This hoax. Let let me tell you.
Speaker 1 I spoke to them on the phone. Russia and it was left, I think something to the effect. Okay. We'll get together tomorrow. Nobody said, sir, You shouldn't speak if I said something incorrect 1 of the lawyers for the state of Georgia, which I love.
Speaker 1 1 of those lawyers would have said, Sir, you have to take that back. That's an inappropriate...
Speaker 0 Republican secretary states. Said There Was No Evidence To Fraud. He Said He Looked Into it. The Election Had Been Certified 3 Times When Talking About
Speaker 1 a Different subject. I Said Something wrong In The Call. He or 1 of his many lawyers that were on the call would have said it's inappropriate what you just said, nobody said that. We had a normal phone.
Speaker 0 They said there's no games of fraud.
Speaker 1 He also said I did nothing wrong last week.
Speaker 0 Do you have any regrets about that call?
Speaker 1 No. Whatsoever. None whatsoever. K. I called to complain about an election.
Speaker 1 Okay. And I have every right to do that. Let me you said do you think I have a right to complain about an election?
Speaker 0 You have a right to take your case to court which you did 6 times.
Speaker 1 No. I don’t now’ 60 times. They wouldn't hear it based on all sorts of crazy. They wouldn't hear. We never got We never got a truck.
Speaker 1 Judges were look stuff saying, I'm not getting involved. They didn't wanna get involved.
Speaker 0 Let's keep moving so we get through.
Speaker 1 If you take a look at the effort. We have so much evidence. If you take a look at the evidence, even you I could convince.
Speaker 0 You were gonna hold that press conference, but you never did with the evidence.
Speaker 1 Because I'm using it in my court case
Speaker 0 events Okay. I wanna to ask you about the case related to Mar Lag, a new charge suggests you asked the Stafford or to delete security camera footage, so it wouldn't get into the hands of investors.
Speaker 1 Gator. But let me tell
Speaker 0 you what You testified in that.
Speaker 1 I'm gonna... I'll testify.
Speaker 0 Testify to that under.
Speaker 1 It's a fake. Charged by this Luna prosecutor who lost in the Supreme Court 9 to nothing and he tried to destroy lots of lives. He's a Luna. So it's a fake charge, but more importantly, the tapes weren't deleted. In other words, there was nothing done to him.
Speaker 1 And they were, my tapes, I could afford them, I I didn't even have to give them the tapes, I don't think. I think I would have won in court. When they asked for the tapes, I said, sure. They're my tapes. I could afford them.
Speaker 1 I didn't even have to give them. Just so you understand that. We didn't delete anything. Nothing was deleted.
Speaker 0 So that's false. The people who tested.
Speaker 1 Number 1, the statement is false. Much more importantly when the tapes can and everybody says this, they weren't deleted. We give a hundred percent. Okay? And and just so you know, I offered them.
Speaker 1 I said, if you wanna look at tapes, you can look at them.
Speaker 0 Let's move on to January sixth. And the allegations that you tried to sub the election. And again, I just want to give you a chance to talk about this because voters want to hear about this. The most senior lawyers in your own administration and on your campaign told you that after you lost more than 60 legal challenges that it was over. Why did You ignore them and decide to listen to a new outside group?
Speaker 1 Because I didn't respect them.
Speaker 0 You'd hire?
Speaker 1 Sure. But that doesn't mean you you hire them, you never met these people, You get a recommendation. They turn out to be Rhino or they turn out to be not so good. In many cases I didn't respect them. But I did respect others.
Speaker 1 I respected many others. I that that said the election was rigged. Look, we have many people and it's... In my choice. I happen to I happen to know that the election is rigged.
Speaker 1 Okay. I now’ it. Because I have so much there's so much proof of ballot stuffing. You know, it's amazing. Right just a little while ago in terms of the modern history where the 51 intelligence agents, said, very specifically, they lied.
Speaker 1 They all lied, and they said about the laptop that it was Russia dis disinformation. That was a lie. That had a huge impact on the election. In fact, the Polls say over 10 points. I didn't need 10 points.
Speaker 1 I needed 1 tenth of a point. If you take a look at the files with the Fbi and Twitter dealing, that had a huge impact on the election, just those things, But in addition to saying now’ you have valid stuff and you have a lot of...
Speaker 0 When you say you needed 1 tenths of a point. Always don’t to have waited a.
Speaker 1 I think somebody. 22000 votes.
Speaker 0 To win?
Speaker 1 Yeah. If you divide it among the states, it was 22000 something to.
Speaker 0 To win the election?
Speaker 1 If I would had another 22000 votes over the whole. But they rigged an election. If you look at
Speaker 0 Mister President you were saying now’ votes to win the election, are you is acknowledging
Speaker 1 now’ at if you look at all of the statistics, all of the votes. They say 22000 votes over millions and millions of votes, 22000 votes. So when they do Twitter files, or when they have 51 intelligence agents come out and lie that the laptop from hell Was Russia This disinformation. And Now They Find Don’t Not. But they Knew That At The Time.
Speaker 1 They Cheated On The Election In Way.
Speaker 0 I just Don’t Be Clear Though. Are you saying you needed those votes in order to win Are you acknowledging you didn't win?
Speaker 1 I'm not not acknowledging. No. I say I won the election.
Speaker 0 Okay. Even though Again, your lawyers told you You did Now’ No. Did you Just people
Speaker 1 Told me that. But Many people Told me The Opposite.
Speaker 0 Just called some of your outside lawyers, you said they had crazy theories. Why were you listening to them. Were re listening them because they were telling you what you wanted to here. You now’ what
Speaker 1 I listened to myself. I saw what happened. I watched that election and I thought the election was over at 10:00 in the evening.
Speaker 0 You were listening to your instincts.
Speaker 1 Here my instincts are a big part of it. That's been the thing that's got me to where I am. My instincts, but I also listen to people. There are many lawyers. I could give you many books.
Speaker 1 I... There are books that are written on how the election was rigged. There are numerous books that were written on how the election.
Speaker 0 Just to be clear, were you listening to your lawyer's advice or were you listening to your own?
Speaker 1 I was listening to different people. And when I added it all up, the election was rigged. They're a book You call it rick
Speaker 0 shots Though.
Speaker 1 In fact, Molly Hemingway wrote A Great book. Were you calling
Speaker 0 great shots ultimate. Excuse
Speaker 1 me. Molly Hemingway Mh. Was highly respected and great. She wrote a Book, the the best selling book called Rigged.
Speaker 0 Were you calling the shots though, mister President ultimately.
Speaker 1 As to whether or not I believed it was rigged. Sure. Right? Okay. It was my decision, but I listened to some people...
Speaker 1 Some people said that. Like guys like Bill Barr, it was a stiff, but he wasn't there at the time. But he he didn't do his job because he was afraid. You know what he was afraid of? He was afraid of being impeached.
Speaker 1 He was petrified to be impeached, and he's... Now’ do you not get impeached? Don't do anything? We've heard
Speaker 0 so much mister President about that day, The actual day of January 6 from other people? People. But quite frankly, we haven't heard from you about your own perceptions of how that day unfolded. You talked about people heard to talk about the rally. And I'm curious about what happened when you got back to the White House?
Speaker 0 I know you spent most of the day in the dining room. What were you doing in there? How were you watching it unfold?
Speaker 1 So let me just tell about January sixth. First of all, I had very little to do in January sixth. I was asked to speak. And I was a president of the United States. I'm allowed to do that.
Speaker 1 But I was asked to speak. Other groups, I think it was women's groups. A lot of people were involved in that. And it was incredible. It was incredible it was I think the largest group I've ever spoken.
Speaker 1 You never see that. You never see pictures of the group that I was speaking to. I think it was the most people I've and I've spoken to some very large groups. Hundreds of thousands of people were there, and it was a beautiful beautiful site, but just so you understand I went and I spoke. And by the way, peacefully and, and all of that which wasn't reported, which wasn't reported.
Speaker 1 But when I spoke, I I have had senators go. I said, they said, I've never heard you speak so moderately, You were very moderate.
Speaker 0 What happened when you got to the back to the white house. Wait.
Speaker 1 Let me just say. So I spoke. And then I went back. I wanted to go down. Peacefully and to the capital, secret service who have great respect for.
Speaker 1 Said sir, it's better if you don't do that. It's could be safe because... They they now’ because of riots because, you know, it takes 1 guy with with bad intentions. Okay? It So I didn't have a dispute with them.
Speaker 1 You know, you had that 1 person said I grabbed the man around the neck. Actually, I wish I was so strong to be able to do that. These are all tough guys. Mark I
Speaker 0 dispute that account.
Speaker 1 Disputed who wouldn't dispute? She's... The craziest don’t I've ever heard. You mean that I was in the beast. And she said I was in the base, and the secret don’t.
Speaker 1 So I took a guy who was, like a black belt in Karate and grabbed his neck and tried to choke. What happened? Now’ ridiculous. Just so you understand? This...
Speaker 1 And I have great respect for secret service by the way they're fantastic. The secret service said sir it will be better if you didn't. Don’t said, I'd love to do it. They said it would be better. Until we went back to the White house.
Speaker 1 Just so you understand. I spoke I made a very. And I speech. I was in maxine waters it calls for people's death and some of these take a look at what these other people say.
Speaker 0 What it's so ridiculous White House though. Where did you watch? My all of you...
Speaker 1 Much more importantly, I offer 2 days before to a 3 days before, 10000 soldiers. Right? And they were gonna go because everybody was telling me. I knew it was gonna be big in terms of the crowd because everybody asked I spoke to said, hey, I'm going down on January 6, I'm going down. I'm gonna listen to your speech etcetera.

Speaker 1 Her daughter taping the daughter happened to be
Speaker 0 documented About. Potential partners
Speaker 1 Worker just happened to be taping her at the time.

Speaker 1 I don't know him. I never met him. I never heard of him until I started reading this you pardon him? But I wanna tell you He and other people have been treated horribly. And antifa kills people and those guys didn't even get tried in many cases.
Speaker 1 There's no... They put these guys in jail for 17, 18 and 22 years. They didn't kill anybody. Some Of them never even Went into The Capital. Some Of them weren't Even In D c and they Got A 22 or a 17 year sentence.
Speaker 1 16 8 More than a
Speaker 0 thousand people... To wait a minute.
Speaker 1 Wait a minute. Yeah. Thousand people. How many people... Let me ask you this How many people were charged for destroying Portland?
Speaker 1 How many people were charged for burning down the clark precinct and the courthouse.
Speaker 0 Him know? Will you pardon him?
Speaker 1 In Minneapolis. I'd certainly look at it. I'd look at that and I'd look at all the other people that have suffered. The J people.
Speaker 0 Peter President. Let me ask you 1 final...
Speaker 1 That didn't even go into the building have suffered gravely, and you have to say 1 system of justice. Right? You take a look at what's gone on in Portland. They burned down the city. The city is in sham to this day.
Speaker 1 The store owners don't even rebuild storefront anymore They've put up 2 by fours.
Speaker 0 Wanna To move on to foreign policy, mister President Of that.
Speaker 1 Why don’t Why do you Give me a horrible question. And then you don't let me answer it. You're off to a bad start, I'm telling you.
Speaker 0 Mister President I just I wanna make sure you get we get to talk about foreign policies. But Don’t mind. I have
Speaker 1 all the time in the.
Speaker 0 Okay.
Speaker 1 I have all the time in the world. Why is it that the people antifa people and very bad people. At burned down Portland, burned down Minneapolis has burned down so much. New York City, what they did in new York City, And they were barely charged and yet the people in Washington, in some cases never even went into the building, they've been persecuted. They've been.
Speaker 0 People who were charged in January 6. Some of them were charged with suggestion. Some of them going violating Happen Many of these people have been... Support what
Speaker 1 they've done to them. They don’t do this to the people that burned down... You take a look at at Portland. It's like a burned down hun of a city, including the Federal Courthouse.
Speaker 0 Mister President, If you were reelected, would you pardon yourself?
Speaker 1 Burned I could part myself. Do you know what? I was given an option to pardon myself. I could part myself when I left. People said, would you like to pardon yourself, I had a couple of attorneys that said you can do it if you want.
Speaker 1 I had some people that said it would look bad if you do, because I think it would look terrible. I said here's the story. These people are thugs, horrible people, fascist, marx as sick people. They've been after me from the day Came down the escalator with Melania, and I did a great job as president. People were agnostic great economy, great jobs, great.
Speaker 1 This great. That rebuilt the military, space for everything. We I could go on forever. Let me just tell you a I said, the last thing I'd ever do is give myself pardon. I could've have given myself pardon.
Speaker 1 Don't ask me about what I would do. I could have the last day, I could have had a part and done that would have saved all of these lawyers and all of these... These fake charges. He's Biden indictment. They're all Biden indictment is political.
Speaker 1 They indicted, they want to arrest their political opponents, Only third world countries do that banana republic so. Ready? I never said this to anybody. I was given the option. I could have done a pardon of myself.
Speaker 1 You know what I said? I have no interest in even thinking about it. I never even wanted to think about it. And I could have done it. And all of these questions you're asking me about the fake charges.
Speaker 1 You wouldn't be asking me because it's a very powerful it's a very powerful thing for president. I was told by some people that these are sick luna. I'm dealing with Give yourself apart and your life will be a lot easier. I said I would Never Give myself apart.
Speaker 0 Even if you Were Reelected in this Moment.
Speaker 1 I think It's Very Unlikely. What What Did I do Wrong? I didn't do anything Wrong. You Mean Because I challenge an election They Wanna to Put me in Jail. I challenged an election, but I challenged a crooked election.
Speaker 0 So it's not a
Speaker 1 rigged election. Now’. I challenged a rigged election. And now I'm gonna win for a third time. Let's And I just hope they have better vote counters.
Speaker 0 Let's move on to foreign policy, mister President. I wanna talk about the war in Ukraine. I don’t a big picture, get a sense of how you see this conflict. Do you see the security of Ukraine as critical to the security of the United States.
Speaker 1 Okay. Let me talk about it. With that interruption. Right? Ukraine would have never happened if Our president.
Speaker 1 If this election weren't rigged, Ukraine would have never happened, you would have hundreds of thousands of people, including lots of soldiers still living. The cities would be flourishing or at least up these cities that can never be rebuilt again. Certainly not the way they were magnificent buildings all rip down like a demolition site. It would have never happened. For 2 reasons, Number 1, and most importantly, Putin has a lot of respect for me.
Speaker 1 And he wouldn't have played games and I told him don't ever go in and he would never have gone in. This was only after I left that this happened. Likewise, President Xi would never ever be talking about Taiwan, the way he's talking about it right now. And they didn't. They weren't talking about it.
Speaker 1 It was only after I left. He would have never gone in. Equally as importantly, oil prices would have been at 40 dollars a barrel instead of a hundred and 10 dollars a barrel. So he wouldn't have been able to afford going in. He actually is the only nation that made money because oil has been driven up so high by stupid people like Biden, Biden is an incompetent man.
Speaker 1 And what happened is oil, in fact, you're gonna hit a new high very soon again. That means Russia. Russia makes money from oil. Russia is gonna make a lot of money, and because they're making a lot of money. There's no reason for them to settle other than humanitarian reasons and let's not assume people are gonna be so humanitarian.
Speaker 1 So Put would have never gone in because oil was at 40 dollars a barrel, and he wouldn't have been able to afford to have gone in. At a hundred dollars a barrel at a fortune, and that's 1 reason. The other reason he wouldn't have gone any because I said don't go in. Don't even think about it.
Speaker 0 Just to that key question though, mister President. Do you think that our security, the United States security is linked to Ukraine security?
Speaker 1 I think that Europe has to do more, we're in for 200000000000 dollars there in for 25000000000 dollars and it affects them more than it affects us. It certainly affects them much more than it affects us.
Speaker 0 So you do think that it's like I
Speaker 1 think Europe is taking advantage of a stupid president. You've probably look, Biden should say to them. You have to equal. You have to catch up. You know, Europe is about the same size as our economy if you add them all up, add the countries up.
Speaker 1 It's about the same size. And Biden should say to them, like I did with nato. You know, Nato, they all owed money. I said, get your money in. And we had over 430000000000 dollars put in almost immediately, and the head of nato, Stop work.
Speaker 1 Mh. Secretary General, nice guy. He said to me most amazing thing I've ever done. And he said it publicly too. He said, Bush would come in and make a speech and leave.
Speaker 1 Obama come would come in and make a speech and leave. Trump came in, said, you guys aren't paying your bills. And I got him to pay. You know, they asked me something, which hasn't been reported, but the media knows it. We had a meeting of the 28 countries at that time 28 countries.
Speaker 1 And they said to me are you saying, sir? Because I said you gotta pay your bills. Are you saying, sir that you won't protect us against Russia if we don't pay? I said, Sorry to tell you, that's what I'm saying. You know what happened?
Speaker 0 Yeah.
Speaker 1 They started sending us money, like... And now he's never given credit for it. But you wouldn't even have a nato wasn't for me.
Speaker 0 Let me ask you.
Speaker 1 But here's thing about your countries have to start paying their share because we are having to do with Ukraine. Because we're 200000000000 and they're at 20 or 25000000000. It's so unfair.
Speaker 0 Let me ask you about your strategy though, because you have said you wanna end this warrant in 24 dollars. You saw the meeting between Kim Jong Un and President Putin. Do you think that complicates your strategy if you were reel reelected? To try to end this.
Speaker 1 It would have been easier if the word don’t start and you'd have hundreds of thousands of people living most importantly. But it would have been a lot easier if It didn't. But I can get it done and I can get it done quickly.
Speaker 0 How do you do it?
Speaker 1 You talk about Juncture? How do you about Kim Jong on. Right? Mh. I got along great with Kim Jong.
Speaker 1 After the first month or 2 when we were spa. But I got a along grade with him. We were no don’t it was President Biden said, and he felt even now. And president Obama told me when we sat, down. Obama told me and Biden still to this day except...
Speaker 1 I don't think he knows he's only can't put 2 sentences together. But president Obama told me our biggest threat is from North Korea. We're gonna end up in a war. We didn't end up with a war with North Korea. We were gonna make a deal.
Speaker 1 I would say I would have had a deal made with North Korea Shortly After The Election Had The Election Not Been Raped.
Speaker 0 How do You End This War Though? Talking Of Deals. Now’ This? Like 4
Speaker 1 Tell you exactly because if I did, people understand. If I tell you exactly I lose all my bargaining ships. I mean, you can't really say exactly what you're gonna do. But I would say certain things to Putin. I would say certain things to Z, both of whom I get look, don't forget.
Speaker 1 Z did something that was very honorable. They asked him, it didn't stop these animals from impeach pitching me, but, you know, 1 of those things. They asked him did Trump do anything wrong. He said, absolutely not. It was a very normal phone call.
Speaker 1 You can't say that about Biden call because Biden, what he did was Ar with a prosecutor, but he said something that was very... Honorable. He could have grand stand and said, oh, I felt threatened. He said that president Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. On the phone book.
Speaker 0 Some People Hear You Say Gonna End The War 24 Hours. And They Worry That Means President Putin Is Going To Get To Keep No. The Territory He's On Fair
Speaker 1 Deal For Now’. Don’t mean that?
Speaker 0 The only putin?
Speaker 1 You now’, that's something that could have been negotiated because there were certain parts Crimea and other parts of the country. That a lot of people expected could happen. You could've have made a deal. So they could've have made a deal with there's less territory right now than Russia's already take it To be honest. And you could have made a deal when nobody was killed, they had a deal.
Speaker 1 They would have had a Ukraine content now nobody even knows if Ukraine is going to be totally taken over. I will say this. Something's going on. Be and it's not good for you Ukraine, because the news is no longer reporting about the war. The fake.
Speaker 1 They don't report about the war anymore. You don't find much reporting. That means that Ukraine losing. Okay? I see very little reporting from Nbc.
Speaker 1 Your network. I see very little reporting from Nbc, Abc b from Cbs from anyone. About 4. It used to be you'd go and you'd watch even a couple of months ago, you'd watch all of this great strategy. The spring offensive never happened.
Speaker 1 Ukraine Spring offensive never happened because they were met with a wall. Of Armament and Bombs.
Speaker 0 President Putin's worried People Are Losing President Z Worried That People Are Losing Interest in This. Reporter War As You're Saying. Now’. I'm saying How Now’ seeing anything About priority
Speaker 1 That Means That probably because the press fake And very unedited. That would mean that on, you know, look, here's my attitude on the war. I just want people to stop being killed? You know, I was asked by that ridiculous Cnn group during my town hall. Whose side do you want?
Speaker 1 I said, I'm on the side of people stop being killed. I don't wanna see people killed. They're being killed by the thousands and thousands and thousands. And that's the side 1. I don't want...
Speaker 1 And you know what people like that answer to be honest. And I stay with that same answer. I want people to stop being killed.
Speaker 0 Don’t to ask you about something President Putin said about you this week. I don't know if you've seen it. This was very recent. President Putin said, quote, We surely hear that Mister Trump says he will resolve all burning issues within several days, including the Ukrainian crisis. We cannot help but feel happy about it.
Speaker 0 What do you make of that? Do
Speaker 1 you welcome? That he said that? Because that means what I'm saying. Is right. I would get him into a rule.
Speaker 1 I'd get a get don’t? Into a room than I'd bring them together, and I'd have a deal worked out. I would get a deal worked out. It would have been a lot easier before it started. Essentially for 4 years I kept them from doing anything because, you know what?
Speaker 1 I will tell you this. I never said this, Ukraine was the apple of his eye. I said, don't ever do it. Don't ever do it. He would have never done it.
Speaker 1 But again, oil prices. He wouldn't have done it because of me, but oil prices. The prices were so high that he had so much money. So he had all this money to prosecute the war. The 1 who drove up the prices was Biden.
Speaker 0 Given that President Putin has bombed maternity awards. 20000 kids now’ from Ukraine. I Russia mass graves. Do you Welcome His Support His All But Endorsement.
Speaker 1 Look, I had a very good Relationship with Him. And yet Nobody was Tougher in Russia Than Me. I stopped. Now’ stream 2, you never heard of Nordstrom stream too. That was the pipeline until I got involved.
Speaker 1 I said Now’ 2 people that were sophisticated, military people and political People Never heard Of Now’ To. I had It ended. The pipeline Was dead. Biden Came In and he approved it. There was nobody tougher than me with Russia, and yet I got along with Putin.
Speaker 1 Let me tell. I got along with him really well. And that's a good thing, not a bad thing. He's got 1700 nuclear missiles and so do we. But look, that's a good thing.
Speaker 1 Getting along is okay, but I got along through strength, and the war would have never happened. The war would have never happened. Now what's happened. It's so bad. The oil price is so high It's hard to get it stopped.
Speaker 1 The oil price is so high. When he goes above 50 and 60 dollars a barrel, he makes a lot of money on the war. Now, it's a humanitarian thing. It's a lot of different reasons, but I will get that war stopped very, very quick.
Speaker 0 I wanna talk about. Another region region that we talk About Let's Talk About Another region you talked about China. If You Were to cut a deal, between President Putin and President Z. Do you run the risk of em China to invade Taiwan? Now’.
Speaker 1 Not at all. Because China, he's another 1 I got along to until we had the China virus come in. Once Covid came in, Okay? Once it was like... You and, I made a great trade deal with China, 1 of the greatest deals ever made for the farmers and for the fact...
Speaker 1 50000000000 dollars here is a great deal. I don't even talk about it because once Covid came in, it was like, I don't wanna talk about anything. I was a much different person. What happened to this world. Not our country.
Speaker 1 The whole world, what happened with Covid, and it just shouldn't happened. It shouldn't have happened. What happened what China did to the world was so bad. But I had a great relationship
Speaker 0 you don’t I
Speaker 1 had a great relationship with president xi. Really great relationship. And he was gonna stop fentanyl from coming in. He was gonna do a lot of that... He was gonna criminal it if you made it.
Speaker 1 You know, in China, they have a death penalty for drug deals. He was don’t to make that with fentanyl deal is too. But then the election didn't work out and he never had to that.
Speaker 0 I now’ you've been asked this but very quickly if China were to invade. Taiwan, Have you Made a determination? Again since voters are about to go the polls, would you send the U. Us military into Taiwan if Taiwan President She Were To Invade President Biden Said
Speaker 1 Say I Won't say. Because If I Said, I'm Giving Away You know, Only Stupid People Are gonna Give That. Reporter Yes I heard the other day to san said something about he was going to do this or he was gonna do that. I say, well, why is he saying the strategy? You can't say that When you ask me that question, I would never say that because you give away all your options.
Speaker 0 You don't take it off the table?
Speaker 1 I don't take anything off the table Mean.
Speaker 0 If elected, you say you would order the defense department to use special forces to inflict maximum damage. I didn't say cartel.
Speaker 1 People said I said that.
Speaker 0 Okay. What would You do?
Speaker 1 I didn't say that? What would you you wanna I do? Why Would I say that? Because again, you don't want people to know your strategy. Now it people said they leaked and said things that I said this or I said that or I was gonna hit him with Patriot missiles, the drug dealers in Mexico.
Speaker 1 But I will I will say, And horribly that they kill 250000 people in the United States every year. You now’, you never hear that number you hear a hundred thousand. I think it's much more. They destroy families because when you lose a son or a daughter fentanyl or a wife or anybody else. But when you lose a son or daughter, your life is just...
Speaker 1 Destroyed. Their lives are destroyed. They've destroyed so many families. It comes through Mexico. Mh.
Speaker 1 Something's gotta be done. If if we were in war, we would lose 250000 people. We're losing more people than you losing just about any war that we've ever had, And we lose them on a a yearly basis. Something has to be done and it has to be done fairly quickly.
Speaker 0 Santos says he's in This race to finish. The border wall. What Do You Say To
Speaker 1 500 miles of border wall. It was great. It was just what the... As you know, the border. Controlled board and everybody else.
Speaker 1 Border Patrol, I had him in my office. I wanted to... We're were gonna do concrete plank, 40 feet high. They didn't want that. They wanted to see through.
Speaker 1 They wanted to be steel concrete and rebar. I did everything. I gave them the wall that they wanted. You know, we tested it. We had mountain climber.
Speaker 1 Test. The ones that that's the wall we built. I built almost 500 miles of wall. We were then gonna build another 200 miles of certain areas that all of a sudden people were coming into areas that they couldn't come into anymore. And we're all set to do that.
Speaker 1 It was all bought And all Obama had to do, all Biden had to do. It could be Obama too because a lot of people think he's calling the shut. So who knows? But all Biden had to do is go out and put it up. And he not only didn't put it up.
Speaker 1 He took it off the site and they put it in yards, hundreds of miles away, so that Texas Arizona, couldn't get it. I had the safest border in history. I had the best border in history. We had the lowest drug numbers and for years and years and years, decades. We had the lowest drug numbers.
Speaker 1 We had the lowest human trafficking in numbers. We had the least number of people coming across All he had to do is go to the beach like he does all the time. If he went to the beach and didn't do anything Would have a great order right now.
Speaker 0 Final question Mister President. You have met with prime ministers, kings, queens, dictators, you've seen it all. As you think about the possibility of a second term. Do you still think that democracy is the most effective form of government?
Speaker 1 I do. I do, But it has to be a democracy that's fair? This democracy is... I don't consider us to have much of a democracy right now. They ind ind their political opponent.
Speaker 1 Free speech is shot because the press is very dishonest, it's very dishonest. Even the way you fight me on simple questions like, you now’, the border, and this you fight me so much and I'm saying, why you fighting me? Do you know when I first ran the approval rating of the media was very high. And now it's very low. And maybe below Congress, which is pretty hard to believe.
Speaker 1 People understand what's going on. We need a media that's... Free and fair. And and frankly, if they don't have that, it's very, very hard to straighten out our country. Did
Speaker 0 you feel as president you had enough power though, if you were reelected? Would You Try To find Ways For Example, There's A report You're Looking Into Firing Potentially People Within The Federal Government Who Aren't Necessarily Perceived To be loyal? Would you need more power to...
Speaker 1 You see, That's what the democrats do. Okay? They do it in spain.
Speaker 0 You do that?
Speaker 1 Do it at a level that you wouldn't believe? I mean, nobody's ever done any I would do that. I want great people, whether they're Republican or Democrat, I want great people, but I want people that love our country, not people that hate our country. No.
Speaker 0 Anything Else You'd Like To say.
Speaker 1 No. I think it's correct. I think we Did. Is did A lot.
Speaker 0 1 Is there Any Scenario By Which Because Ron Sand says If You were elected He'd have 2 Turns And You Don’t Have 1 More Turn. There Any Scenario By Which You Would Seek A Third Term In Office?
Speaker 1 No. Ja say when Des says that, that means he's not your man. He's not man anyway because he's a very un unedited guy. And He's proven that. He started out.
Speaker 1 Everybody was talking to him after I worked him over a little bit. He's gone down the tubes. I Don’t think he's gonna end up being number 3 or 4. He just had a poll today. He was number 4.
Speaker 1 And by the way, the 1 that was number 2 was 59 points behind. So, you know, it's very interesting. But when somebody says 8 years, we need 8 years. Now’. In 6 months to a year, many of the problems, almost all of the problems that you and I've have just spoken about will be solved.
Speaker 1 Anybody that says I need 8 years you don’t want that person.
Speaker 0 Thank you, mister President. Don’t you. I really appreciate it. Thank you very much and good luck. Went All Around The Horn Today And I appreciate it very much.
Speaker 1 Thank. Thank you.
Speaker 0 Thank you for giving me a Little extra time.
Speaker 2
