>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP, THANK YOU
1:01
FOR AGREEING TO AN INTERVIEW
1:02
LESS THAN SEVEN WEEKS BEFORE
1:03
THE ELECTION.
1:04
>> HARRIS AND HER CAMPAIGN HAVE
1:14
CALLED YOU AN EXISTENTIAL
1:15
THREAT, A DANGER, AND SAID YOU
1:16
WILL BE A DICTATOR, AND AFTER
1:18
THE SECOND ATTEMPT ON YOUR LIFE
1:19
IN A ROW, AFTERWARDS HILLARY
1:20
CLINTON SAID YOU ARE A DANGER
1:21
TO THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD.
1:23
DO YOU BLAME THAT KIND OF
1:24
RHETORIC IN ANY WAY FOR
1:31
INSPIRING ASSASSINATION
1:32
ATTEMPTS, OR DO YOU THINK IT IS
1:33
UNRELATED?
1:33
>> I DO, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE
1:34
SAY THAT BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY,
1:35
IT IS JUST THE OPPOSITE, THEY
1:37
ARE A DANGER AND THEY ARE
1:38
DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. THERE
1:39
ALLOWING MILLIONS AND MILLIONS
1:40
OF PEOPLE TO COME INTO OUR
1:41
COUNTRY THAT SHOULD NOT BE
1:42
HERE, PEOPLE FROM JAILS AND
1:43
PEOPLE FROM GANGS THAT ARE OVER
1:44
THERE LIKE CARACAS AND THE
1:45
CRIME IS DOWN 72% . YOU LOOK AT
1:49
WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND THE
1:50
WORLD AND I'M NOT JUST TALKING
1:52
ABOUT SOUTH AMERICA, I'M
1:53
TALKING ABOUT PRISONS ARE BEING
1:55
EMPTIED ALL OVER THE WORLD.
1:56
THERE DUMPING THEM INTO THE
1:58
UNITED STATES. CRIMINALS ARE
2:02
BEING TAKEN OFF THE STREET IN
2:04
CITIES AND PLACES ALL OVER THE
2:05
WORLD AND BEING DUMPED INTO THE
2:06
UNITED STATES. MENTAL
2:07
INSTITUTIONS ARE BEING EMPTIED
2:08
OUT INTO THE UNITED STATES.
2:12
THEY ARE A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.
2:13
WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO THE
2:14
COUNTRY, THEIR POISONING OUR
2:15
COUNTRY. THEY ARE POISONING IT.
2:16
AND YOU CAN LOOK IN OHIO AND
2:22
AURORA IN COLORADO. YOU CAN SEE
2:24
WHAT IS HAPPENING. ABOUT THOSE
2:25
ARE TWO THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE
2:27
NEWS. YOU HAVE HUNDREDS OF
2:28
LITTLE TOWNS AND CITIES THAT
2:29
ARE BEING TAKEN OVER BY
2:30
MIGRANTS OR AT LEAST BEING
2:31
HORRIBLY AFFECT GOODBYE
2:32
MIGRANTS . WE HAVE 21 MILLION ,
2:37
AT LEAST 21 MILLION, THEY SAY
2:39
16 MILLION , WHETHER IT IS 16
2:43
OR 21, I THINK IT IS MUCH MORE
2:45
THAN 21. AND THEY HAVE COME
2:46
INTO OUR COUNTRY AND THEY ARE
2:48
TOUGH AND THEY ARE NASTY AND WE
2:54
ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO
2:55
SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND FAST OR
2:57
WE WILL NOT HAVE A COUNTRY LEFT
2:58
AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE
2:59
THE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.
3:00
>> IF ELECTED, YOU WILL
3:01
ARGUABLY BE THE MOST TARGETED
3:02
PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY,
3:03
WHETHER WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
3:04
FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC THREATS.
3:05
DOES THAT CHANGE HOW YOU CAN
3:06
GOVERN. IF THE SECRET SERVICE
3:08
OR SOMEONE SAYS THEY CANNOT
3:09
GUARD YOU EFFECTIVELY AT A
3:11
STATIC GUARD -- GOLF COURSE,
3:14
HOW CAN THEY PROTECT YOU
3:15
OVERSEAS?
3:23
>> I THINK THAT WE JUST HAVE TO
3:25
DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. THE
3:26
ONLY ONES THAT ARE REALLY
3:27
TROUBLE ARE CONSEQUENTIAL
3:28
PRESIDENTS. SO IN THAT WAY IT
3:29
IS A VERY NICE HONOR, BUT IT IS
3:31
TRUE. I WAS A VERY
3:32
CONSEQUENTIAL PRESIDENT AND
3:33
WOULD CERTAINLY BE AND MAYBE
3:34
EVEN MORE SO THIS TIME. BECAUSE
3:35
I UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM, AND
3:37
UNDERSTAND COUNTRIES AND I
3:38
UNDERSTAND WHO RIPS US AND A
3:46
LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A
3:47
CLUE AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT
3:48
IS HAPPENING. I THINK THAT I
3:49
WILL FEEL SAFE. I THINK I'M
3:51
GOING TO FEEL SAFE.
3:52
>> ARE YOU EVER SCARED?
3:53
>> I CAN'T BE SCARED, BECAUSE
3:54
IF YOU ARE SCARED YOU CANNOT DO
3:56
YOUR JOB, SO I JUST CAN'T BE.
3:57
I HAVE THUS FAR HAD SOMEBODY
3:58
PROTECT DEAN ME BECAUSE YOU
4:02
ALMOST THINK IT COULD NOT HAVE
4:03
JUST BEEN -- TWO TIMES, I MEAN
4:06
TWO TIMES -- IF I GO ANOTHER
4:08
THREE OR FOUR HUNDRED YARDS
4:13
WALKING AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN
4:14
THERE, PROBABLY IN 15 MINUTES,
4:17
NASTY THINGS COULD HAVE
4:18
HAPPENED. WOULD HAVE HAPPENED,
4:19
BUT WE HAD A VERY GOOD SECRET
4:24
SERVICE AGENT THAT SPOTTED A
4:25
RIFLE COMING OUT OF A VERY
4:26
DENSE GROUP OF TREES AND
4:29
FOLIAGE AND PLANTS, HE SAW THE
4:35
RIFLE AND HE STARTED SHOOTING.
4:37
HE DID NOT TALK, HE SHOT. AND
4:38
THEN THEY CAUGHT HIM WITH THE
4:42
HELP OF A WOMAN, BY THE WAY.
4:44
THE GOT THE LICENSE PLATE AND
4:45
THEY WERE ABLE TO GET HIM IN A
4:47
HIGH-SPEED CHASE DOWN THE
4:47
HIGHWAY. THAT WAS ONE AND THEN
4:49
OF COURSE BUTLER, EVERYONE
4:50
KNOWS ABOUT BUTLER. THAT WAS A
4:51
QUICK TURN OF THE HEAD TO SHOW
4:53
A CHART THAT WAS A GOOD
4:55
IMMIGRATION CHART AND SHOWED
4:55
WHAT A GOOD JOB I DID BUT THAT
4:57
WILL GO DOWN AS MY ALL-TIME
4:59
FAVORITE CHART.
5:01
>> IN LOOKING AT A SECOND TERM,
5:02
I THINK PEOPLE ARE CURIOUS WHAT
5:03
SPECIFIC POSITIONS YOU HAVE
5:10
DISCUSSED GIVING TO BOBBY
5:10
KENNEDY, ELON MUSK AND TULSA
5:11
GABBARD, THREE PEOPLE WHOM, BY
5:12
THE WAY WHERE DEMOCRATS OR IN
5:14
THE CASE OF ELON MUSK, THE
5:18
SUPPORTED DEMOCRATS. WHAT
5:19
POSITIONS DO YOU SEE THEM
5:19
HOLDING?
5:20
>> A LOT MORE DEMOCRATS HAVE
5:21
COME ABOARD. BOBBY WILL DO
5:22
GREAT ON THE HEALTH AND ON THE
5:24
ENVIRONMENT. AND --
5:31
>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, HEALTH
5:33
AND HUMAN SERVICES?
5:33
>> IT DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING.
5:35
IT COULD BE. BUT I DID NOT MAKE
5:37
DEALS WITH ANYBODY. IT IS NOT
5:38
APPROPRIATE TO DO IT, IT IS TOO
5:39
EARLY BUT IT IS GETTING TO BE
5:41
THAT TIME WHEN YOU THINK WE ARE
5:42
JUST A SHORT WHILE TO GO. IT IS
5:48
AMAZING, BUT A SHORT WHILE IN
5:49
MY LIFE IS AN ETERNITY, SO WE
5:51
WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. BUT
5:52
BOBBY IS A REALLY -- WHAT HE
5:55
HAS DONE ON HEALTHCARE OVER THE
5:56
YEARS, I MEAN I HAVE KNOWN HIM
5:58
FOR A LONG TIME AND WITH HIM IT
5:59
IS WHAT YOU EAT AND WHAT
6:05
CHEMICALS YOU PUT IN YOUR BODY.
6:06
HE HAS BEEN FIGHTING FOR THIS
6:08
FOR YEARS AND HE LOOKS AT
6:09
COUNTRIES WHERE THEY DON'T USE
6:10
CHEMICALS OR MUCH LESS THAN WE
6:13
USE IN THESE PEOPLE ARE
6:14
HEALTHIER THAN THEY ARE IN THE
6:15
UNITED STATES, WHICH IS NOT
6:16
THAT HEALTHY OF A COUNTRY. AND
6:21
ALSO ENVIRONMENTALLY AND
6:21
UNDERSTAND THE ENVIRONMENT I
6:22
THINK AS WELL AS ANYBODY BUT I
6:23
ALSO WANT TO HAVE THE GREATEST
6:25
ECONOMY, WE HAD THE GREATEST
6:26
ECONOMY EVER AND WE WILL HAVE
6:31
THE GREATEST ECONOMY AGAIN,
6:32
EVEN BETTER. WE WILL BRING BACK
6:33
THE AUTO BUSINESS AND A LOT OF
6:35
BUSINESSES INTO OUR COUNTRY
6:36
THAT NOBODY THOUGHT WOULD HAVE
6:37
BEEN POSSIBLE. NOW THEY THINK
6:38
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN. AND WHAT I
6:40
DID DURING MY TERM, I HAD THE
6:41
GREATEST ECONOMY IN THE HISTORY
6:42
OF OUR COUNTRY. I THINK IN THE
6:44
HISTORY OF THE WORLD. THERE HAS
6:45
NEVER BEEN SUCH PRODUCTION THAT
6:46
WE HAD AND I WILL BE ABLE TO DO
6:48
IT AGAIN AND I THINK VERY
6:49
QUICKLY. ONE OF THE ASSETS WE
6:51
HAVE IS THAT WE HAVE MORE
6:52
LIQUID GOLD, MEANING OIL, ETC.
6:53
UNDER OUR FEET THAN ANYBODY
6:54
ELSE, ANY OTHER COUNTRY
6:55
INCLUDING SAUDI ARABIA AND
6:56
RUSSIA AND WE WERE ENERGY
6:57
INDEPENDENT A SHORT WHILE AGO
6:58
AND WE WILL BE IN ENERGY
7:01
INDEPENDENT BUT WE WILL BE
7:02
ENERGY DOMINANT AGAIN. AND WE
7:09
ARE GOING TO MAKE A LOT OF
7:11
MONEY AND PAY OFF DEBT AND PAY
7:12
DOWN DEBT. AND WE ARE GOING TO
7:14
DO THINGS THAT NOBODY WOULD
7:15
HAVE THOUGHT POSSIBLE, BUT
7:16
BOBBY IS GREAT AND TULSI
7:19
GABBARD IS GOOD FROM THE
7:20
STANDPOINT OF COMMON SENSE. SHE
7:21
IS LIKE A COMMON SENSE PERSON.
7:23
I HAVE WATCHED HER FOR A LONG
7:24
TIME ON SHOWS THAT I HAVE KNOWN
7:27
HER A LITTLE BIT AND IT WAS A
7:29
GREAT HONOR WHEN WE GOT HER.
7:30
YOU ARE RIGHT, SHE WAS A
7:31
DEMOCRAT, AND POPULAR TOO IN
7:32
HAWAII, AND SHE WILL BE
7:33
TERRIFIC.
7:35
>> AND ELON MUSK?
7:36
>> WELL, ELON IS ELON. HE HAS
7:38
ENDORSED ME VERY POWERFULLY AND
7:41
HE FEELS LIKE THIS IS THE MOST
7:43
IMPORTANT ELECTION WE HAVE EVER
7:44
HAD. AND AS YOU KNOW, HE
7:46
PROBABLY HAS A COUPLE OTHER
7:48
THINGS TO DO, BUT --
7:49
>> HE HAS INDICATED HE MIGHT BE
7:51
WILLING TO HELP WITH GOVERNMENT
7:53
WASTE.
7:56
>> THE THING THAT WE TALK ABOUT
7:57
MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IS
7:59
EXACTLY THAT, HE IS A BIG COST
8:05
CUTTER AND HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
8:06
VERY GOOD AT IT AND I'M GOOD
8:08
AT IT, BUT I WILL TELL YOU
8:09
WHAT, HE WILL GO IN AND HE WILL
8:11
SAY THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO
8:12
DO, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. HE IS
8:14
SO INTO THAT. HE FEELS THAT
8:16
THERE IS SO MUCH WASTE AND FAT
8:17
IN THIS COUNTRY AND HE IS
8:18
RIGHT, HE IS 100% RIGHT AND HE
8:20
IS GREAT. HE HAS GIVEN ME
8:24
RINGING ENDORSEMENTS, EVEN
8:25
THOUGH I DISAGREE WITH HIM A
8:26
LITTLE BIT ON THE ELECTRIC CAR
8:27
BUT HE AGREES WITH ME FROM THE
8:30
STANDPOINT THAT NOT EVERY CAR
8:31
SHOULD BE ELECTRIC. THEY HAVE
8:32
AN ELECTRIC MANDATE THAT WILL
8:33
PUT DETROIT AND EVERY OTHER
8:37
AUTOMAKER OUT OF BUSINESS
8:37
WITHIN TWO YEARS AND I'M GOING
8:39
TO TERMINATE THAT IMMEDIATELY.
8:40
THAT WILL BE THE FIRST DAY. AND
8:43
WE WANT ELECTRIC CARS, BUT WE
8:44
WANT REALLY TO HAVE ALL CARS,
8:46
YOU HAVE HYBRIDS AND
8:47
EVERYTHING. YOU HAVE GAS
8:50
POWERED CARS. WE HAVE GASOLINE,
8:51
MORE GASOLINE THAN ANYBODY ELSE
8:52
AND WE WANT TO USE IT. AND THEY
8:58
ARE MANDATING ELECTRIC CARS
8:59
THAT DO NOT GO FAR AND ARE VERY
9:00
EXPENSIVE AND THEY WILL BE
9:01
BUILT IN CHINA, THEY WILL ALL
9:03
BE BUILT IN CHINA. AND WHAT THE
9:04
AUTO WORKERS, THE UNION, WHAT
9:05
THEY HAVE DONE IS JUST A
9:07
DISGRACE. WE HAVE LOST 50% OF
9:11
OUR BUSINESS OVER THE PERIOD OF
9:13
25 YEARS. A LOT OF IT WENT TO
9:15
MEXICO AND A LOT OF IT WENT TO
9:16
CHINA. JAPAN -- IT WENT ALL
9:18
OVER THE WORLD AND WE ARE GOING
9:19
TO GET IT BACK. WE WILL BE AT A
9:21
LEVEL THAT NOBODY WOULD HAVE
9:22
THOUGHT POSSIBLE WITH
9:23
AUTOMAKING AND I'M GOING TO
9:24
CUT FUEL PRICES IN HALF WITHIN
9:26
12 MONTHS BECAUSE THE ENERGY
9:27
COSTS ARE SO HIGH. THE BIGGEST
9:29
PROBLEM, AND YOU CAN SEE THIS
9:32
EVEN IN POLLING, EVERYTHING IS
9:33
TOO EXPENSIVE. BECAUSE UNDER
9:36
HARRIS OR BIDEN OR BOTH, YOU
9:42
CAN CALL IT ANYWAY YOU WANT,
9:43
UNDER THEM, UNDER THIS
9:44
ADMINISTRATION THE COSTS HAVE
9:45
GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL AND
9:46
PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD IT. IF I
9:51
CUT ENERGY, AND I WILL BE ABLE
9:53
TO CUT IT IN HALF WITHIN 12
9:54
MONTHS, IF I DO THAT THE WORLD
9:56
-- THIS WORLD, THE WORLD WE
9:57
LIVE IN WILL BE A DIFFERENT
9:59
PLACE.
10:02
>> WE CONTINUE OUR CONVERSATION
10:02
WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
10:03
AFTER A BREAK.
10:21
>>> ON IMMIGRATION, WHICH YOU
10:22
HAVE MENTIONED, MOST PEOPLE
10:23
SEEM TO THINK YOU CAN TIGHTEN
10:23
UP THE BORDER, AND FOR THE
10:25
UNTOLD MILLIONS WHO ARE HERE
10:26
ILLEGALLY, THAT YOU HAVE
10:27
REFERRED TO, YOU TALK ABOUT A
10:28
MASS DEPORTATION PROGRAM. HOW
10:29
IS NOT PRACTICALLY POSSIBLE,
10:30
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE MILLIONS
10:31
OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD CHILDREN
10:34
HERE WHO ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS
10:35
AND DON'T YOU THINK THE FIRST
10:36
TIME THERE IS AN IMAGE ON A
10:41
FAMILY BEING TOLD TO BOARD A
10:43
BUS THAT THE PROGRAM WOULD END?
10:44
>> THAT IS RIGHT. IF YOU TAKE A
10:46
YOUNG WOMAN WITH TWO BEAUTIFUL
10:47
CHILDREN AND YOU PUT HER ON A
10:49
BUS AND IT ENDS UP ON THE FRONT
10:54
PAGE OF EVERY NEWSPAPER IT
10:55
MAKES IT A LOT HARDER.
10:56
>> SO YES TO MASS DEPORTATION
10:57
EVEN OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN?
10:58
>> WE ARE LOOKING AT IT VERY
11:00
CLOSELY. THE WAY YOU PHRASE IT
11:02
IS EXACTLY RIGHT, YOU PUT ONE
11:05
WRONG PERSON ONTO A BUS OR AN
11:07
AIRPLANE AND THE RADICAL LEFT
11:12
LUNATICS WILL MAKE IT SOUND
11:13
LIKE THE WORST THING THAT HAS
11:15
EVER HAPPENED. BUT WE ARE
11:19
GETTING THE CRIMINALS OUT AND
11:20
WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT FAST
11:22
AND WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE. THE
11:23
LOCAL POLICE KNOW THEIR NAMES
11:26
AND THEY KNOW THE SERIAL
11:27
NUMBERS AND EVERYTHING ABOUT
11:28
THEM. WE WORK WITH THE LOCAL
11:29
POLICE AND LOCAL LAW
11:30
ENFORCEMENT WHICH IS GREAT
11:31
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, BUT WE
11:32
HAVE TO GET -- LOOK, WE HAVE
11:33
PEOPLE, WE HAVE MURDERERS THAT
11:35
HAVE BEEN LET INTO OUR COUNTRY
11:36
AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET
11:37
BETTER. WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE
11:39
INSANE AND THE MENTAL
11:43
INSTITUTIONS, THE MENTAL
11:44
INSTITUTIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD
11:45
HAVE A MUCH LOWER POPULATION
11:52
AND IN MANY CASES THEY HAVE
11:53
BEEN EMPTIED OUT. THE JAILS ARE
11:54
DOWN TO MUCH LOWER NUMBERS AND
11:59
SOON THEY WILL BE EMPTIED OUT.
12:00
THEY ARE EMPTYING OUT INTO THE
12:01
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WE
12:02
ARE NOT A DUMPING GROUND. WE
12:06
ARE GOING TO GET ALL THOSE
12:07
PEOPLE OUT AND WE ARE GOING TO
12:09
GET THEM OUT FAST AND WE HAVE
12:10
NO CHOICE, BECAUSE THAT IS NOT
12:11
SUSTAINABLE BY ANY COUNTRY.
12:12
>> ON THE ECONOMY, WHICH YOU
12:13
HAVE MENTIONED, FOR VIEWERS A
12:15
DOZEN EGGS UNDER TRUMP COST AS
12:18
LOW AS $1.46. LAST MONTH $3.20.
12:24
A GALLON OF UNLEADED REGULAR
12:25
GAS UNDER TRUMP AS LOW AS
12:26
$1.88, NEVER HITTING THREE
12:27
DOLLARS, AND THE BIDEN HARRIS
12:32
MENSTRUATION AS HIGH AS $5.06
12:33
AND STILL $3.82. KAMALA HARRIS
12:38
HAS BEEN SHORT ON SPECIFICS
12:39
WHEN IT COMES TO ECONOMY OTHER
12:40
THAN SAYING SHE WANTS AN
12:41
OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY, WHAT ARE
12:42
THE SPECIFIC MECHANICS OF HOW
12:43
PRICES COME DOWN YOU KNOW, THE
12:50
STEPS THAT WOULD BE TAKEN IN A
12:51
SECOND TERM FOR YOU?
12:52
>> FIRST OF ALL, SHE COULD
12:53
NEVER DO THIS INTERVIEW BECAUSE
12:54
YOU ASK QUESTIONS, LIKE GIVE ME
12:56
A SPECIFIC ANSWER AND SHE TALKS
12:57
ABOUT HER LAWN WHEN SHE WAS
12:58
GROWING UP. THIS WOMAN IS NOT
13:00
EQUIPPED TO BE PRESIDENT AND
13:01
SHE IS NOT EQUIPPED TO DEAL
13:02
WITH PRESIDENT XI AND PUTIN. WE
13:11
HAD NO WAR WITH PUTIN. AND I'M
13:13
GOING TO GO OFF OF THIS, WITH
13:14
BUSH THEY TOOK A LOT AND
13:15
RUSSIA, WITH BIDEN THEY'RE
13:16
TRYING TO TAKE EVERYTHING. WITH
13:19
OBAMA THEY TOOK A LOT AND WITH
13:21
TRUMP RUSSIA TOOK NOTHING. JUST
13:25
REMEMBER THAT. IT IS A LITTLE
13:26
CHART, BUT WHAT HAPPENED , AND
13:29
WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT TO PLACE
13:32
WAS SO SAD, WHEN THEY TOOK OVER
13:34
THEY CUT THE OIL WAY DOWN AND
13:36
ALSO THEY STARTED GOING THROUGH
13:42
THE ROOF IT WAS GOING TO GO TO
13:43
$10 PER GALLON AND NUMBERS
13:44
NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN. AND SO
13:46
THEY WENT BACK TO THE TRUMP
13:48
DRILLING. THEY SAID LET IT GO
13:49
BACK AND THAT WAS ONLY GOOD
13:51
THING, BUT THEY STOPPED BECAUSE
13:53
I WOULD BE THERE, BUT FOUR
13:55
YEARS LATER I WOULD BE TRIPLE
13:56
WHAT THE NUMBER WAS. RIGHT NOW
14:00
THERE JUST ABOUT EVEN WHERE I
14:02
WAS, BUT THEY ONLY DID THAT
14:03
BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THEY
14:04
EVENTUALLY HAD AN ELECTION
14:05
COMING UP AND YOU REMEMBER AT
14:10
THE BEGINNING WHAT HAPPENED,
14:11
THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT
14:12
PUTIN WENT IN BECAUSE IT WENT
14:14
TO $100 PER BARREL INSTEAD OF
14:15
$40 PER BARREL AND HE COULD
14:18
FIGHT ALL THE WARS HE WANTS
14:19
WITH THOSE KIND OF NUMBERS
14:20
BECAUSE HE IS A BIG SELLER OF
14:21
OIL AND GAS, SO WHAT HAPPENS
14:22
IS, THEY WENT BACK TO WHAT I
14:24
WAS DOING AND JUST SAID REOPEN,
14:25
REOPEN, IT WAS NOT HARD . IT IS
14:28
SO CRAZY WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
14:29
THEY'RE GOING TO DESTROY LIVES
14:32
AND THEY'RE GOING TO DESTROY
14:34
-- WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THIS
14:35
COUNTRY, AND ESPECIALLY IN THE
14:36
SENSE OF ALLOWING MILLIONS AND
14:42
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO COME IN
14:43
BECAUSE THAT IS SOMETHING --
14:44
YOU KNOW, WE CAN FIX THE
14:46
GASOLINE SITUATION AND WE CAN
14:47
FIX --
14:48
>> DO PRICES COME DOWN
14:49
MAGICALLY BECAUSE IT IS NOT
14:50
THEM?
14:57
>> THEY COME DOWN WITH ENERGY
14:58
AND INTEREST RATES. AS I TOLD
15:00
YOU, WE ARE GOING TO GET ENERGY
15:01
DOWN BY 50% IN 12 MONTHS AND WE
15:03
WILL HAVE IT -- IT WILL BE A
15:05
MAJOR SMASH ON ENERGY. IF YOU
15:06
LOOK AT THE ENERGY -- AND I'M
15:07
NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT CARS,
15:08
I'M TALKING ABOUT AIR
15:09
CONDITIONING, HEATING, YOUR
15:10
BASIC ENERGY, OPERATING A
15:11
BAKERY, OPERATING ANY KIND OF A
15:13
BUSINESS, IT IS ALL HAVING TO
15:15
DO WITH ENERGY AND THAT IS
15:17
WHERE THEY -- WHEN THEY CUT
15:19
BACK ON WHAT I DID, AND AGAIN
15:25
SO YOU UNDERSTAND, THEY THEN
15:26
LET IT GO BACK TO WHERE IT WAS,
15:28
WHICH WAS A VERY SMART THING,
15:32
OTHERWISE YOU WOULD HAVE HAD --
15:33
I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A
15:35
DEPRESSION, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW
15:36
THE TRUTH, BUT ENERGY WAS
15:37
RISING AT A LEVEL NOBODY HAD
15:38
SEEN AND THEN THEY SAID GO BACK
15:40
AND THEY WERE TELLING PEOPLE TO
15:41
GO BACK TO YOUR WELLS AND GO
15:42
BACK TO PHRACK IN, DO WHATEVER
15:43
YOU HAVE TO DO. BUT IF THEY WIN
15:53
, THE DAY AFTER THEY ARE GOING
15:54
ALL THE WAY. THERE WERE ONLY
15:55
DOING THAT BECAUSE OF AN
15:57
ELECTION COMING UP AND THEY'RE
15:58
GOING ALL THE WAY. IT IS
15:59
MADNESS, AND WHAT THEY HAVE
16:00
DONE TO OUR COUNTRY IS MAD.
16:01
>> I THINK OF YOU SITTING OUT
16:03
FOR FOUR YEARS AT LEAST, IS
16:04
THERE A BENEFIT TO THAT IN
16:05
TERMS OF YOU BEING ABLE TO SEE
16:08
-- MAYBE TO REGATHER, REGROUP,
16:09
SEE WHO YOU CAN TRUST AND WHO
16:11
YOU CAN'T TRUST?
16:11
>> THAT IS A GOOD POINT BUT A
16:13
BIGGER POINT, IT WOULD HAVE
16:14
BEEN EASIER IF I DID IT
16:18
CONTIGUOUS TO BE HONEST. YOU
16:19
HAVE TO GO A LONG WAY BACK IN
16:21
HISTORY TO SEE THE ONE PERSON
16:22
THAT WAS ABLE TO DO IT
16:24
NON-CONSECUTIVELY, BUT THE
16:26
BENEFIT IS , MORE THAN ANYTHING
16:32
ELSE, IT SHOWS HOW BAD THEY
16:33
WERE. IT SHOWS HOW BAD THIS
16:36
RADICAL LEFT LIBERAL CRAZY
16:36
PHILOSOPHY IS WITH DEFUND THE
16:38
POLICE . YOU KNOW, SHE STILL
16:43
WANTS TO DEFUND THE POLICE.
16:44
ANYONE WHO WANTED TO DEFUND --
16:46
SHE WAS A LEADER OF THE DEFUND
16:50
THE POLICE. I WOULD CALL HER
16:51
HARRIS BUT NOBODY KNOWS WHO
16:53
I'M TALKING ABOUT WHEN I SAY
16:54
HARRIS. DEFUND THE POLICE, ALL
16:59
THESE DIFFERENT THINGS, IT
17:00
SHOWS HOW BAD THEY WERE AND IT
17:05
SHOWS HOW MUCH THEY DON'T
17:06
WORK, AND I THINK IT MAKES IT
17:07
MUCH EASIER FOR ME TO DO MY
17:09
JOB. PEOPLE WANT US TO DO THE
17:10
JOB, THEY HAVE GOT TO STOP
17:12
CRIME. THEY HAVE GOT TO STOP
17:13
CRIME. YOU GO OUT FOR A LOAF OF
17:19
BREAD TODAY AND YOU GET MUGGED
17:21
OR SHOT. IF YOU LOOK AT
17:22
CHICAGO, JUST A SHORT WHILE
17:23
AGO, ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND THEY
17:24
HAD OVER 100 PEOPLE SHOT AND 17
17:26
PEOPLE DIED. YOU DON'T HAVE
17:31
NUMBERS LIKE THAT IN
17:32
AFGHANISTAN AND ALL THESE OTHER
17:33
COUNTRIES WE TALK ABOUT AS
17:38
BEING UNSAFE COUNTRIES, THERE
17:39
ARE NO NUMBERS LIKE THAT AND
17:40
YOU LOOK AT CHICAGO AND THE
17:41
CRIME ALL OVER THE UNITED
17:42
STATES, THAT IS WHY THE FBI HAS
17:48
TO GIVE THE REAL NUMBERS, BUT
17:50
THE DOJ GAVE THE REAL NUMBERS
17:51
AND CRIME IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF
17:52
CONTROL. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE
17:54
SURE -- YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A
17:57
LITTLE EXPRESSION CALLED MAGA,
17:58
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND
17:58
THAT IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO
18:00
BECAUSE AMERICA IS NOT GREAT
18:02
NOW.
18:02
>> WE ASKED KAMALA HARRIS FOR
18:03
AN INTERVIEW BUT SO FAR SHE HAS
18:05
NOT AGREED. BACK AFTER A SHORT
18:06
BREAK.
18:17
>>> ON COVID YOU FREQUENTLY SAY
18:24
YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU GET
18:25
ENOUGH CREDIT ON COVID, BUT BY
18:26
NEARLY EVERY ASSESSMENT, THE
18:27
CDC FAILED MISERABLY AT JOB ONE
18:32
AND YES, THE VACCINES WERE
18:33
DEVELOPED IN RECORD TIME, BUT
18:34
AS WE NOW KNOW, THEY DO NOT
18:35
PREVENT INFECTION, ILLNESS OR
18:36
TRANSMISSION AND THEY HAVE
18:37
POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SIDE
18:38
EFFECTS. DO YOU THINK MAYBE
18:40
THEY WERE APPROVED TOO FAST,
18:42
AND BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW NOW,
18:49
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE
18:50
DIFFERENTLY?
18:50
>> I THINK THEY'RE DOING
18:51
STUDIES ON THE VACCINES AND WE
18:52
WILL FIND OUT AND IT WILL COME
18:54
OUT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. BUT I
18:56
REALLY HAD A MANDATE TO GET
18:58
VACCINES DONE AND I GOT THEM
18:59
DONE VERY QUICKLY, IN RECORD
19:00
TIME. THE DEMOCRATS LOVE IT.
19:01
YOU KNOW, THE DEMOCRATS LOVE IT
19:03
AND THE DEMOCRATS ¿ THE
19:04
REPUBLICANS DON'T. THE
19:11
VACCINES, I HAVE A FRIEND OF
19:12
MINE WHO SAID TO ME WHY DON'T
19:14
YOU TALK ABOUT THE VACCINE,
19:15
WHAT YOU DID WITH THE VACCINE?
19:16
HE IS A DEMOCRAT, BUT I'M SURE
19:17
HE VOTED FOR ME. HE SAID WHAT
19:19
YOU DID WAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE
19:20
THING THAT ANY PRESIDENT HAS
19:21
EVER DONE, YOU HAVE SAVED
19:22
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF LIVES
19:23
ALL OVER THE WORLD. AND THIS
19:29
WAS JUST RECENTLY, A VERY SMART
19:30
GUY. HE SAID I DON'T
19:31
UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DON'T TALK
19:32
ABOUT IT. AND I DON'T TALK
19:34
ABOUT IT, BUT IF YOU GO TO
19:36
PFIZER, IF YOU GO TO SOME OF
19:38
THESE COMPANIES, THEY HAVE
19:39
CHARTS AND THEY HAVE ALL SORTS
19:47
OF STATISTICS AND I SAY WHY
19:48
DON'T YOU RELEASE THOSE
19:49
STATISTICS AND LET PEOPLE KNOW?
19:50
BUT I DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. I
19:52
CAN SAY THIS, THE DEMOCRATS
19:53
WOULD LOVE TO CLAIM IT. THE
19:54
REPUBLICANS DON'T WANT TO
19:55
CLAIM IT, BUT IT WILL BE
19:56
DETERMINED I WOULD SAY OVER THE
19:57
NEXT 12 MONTHS. I SAY THIS, IN
19:59
TERMS OF OVERALL, I THINK I DID
20:00
AN AMAZING JOB WITH COVID. I
20:02
NEVER GOT THE CREDIT FOR IT.
20:04
REMEMBER, MORE PEOPLE DIED
20:05
UNDER BIDEN HARRIS THEN DIED
20:09
UNDER TRUMP AND THEY HAD A MUCH
20:11
EASIER TIME BECAUSE WHEN IT
20:18
CAME IN HERE NOBODY KNEW WHAT
20:19
IT WAS. IT CAME FROM THE LABS
20:21
WHICH I ALWAYS SAID BUT NOBODY
20:22
REALLY KNEW WHAT IT WAS, WHERE
20:23
IT CAME FROM, NOTHING. THEY
20:24
KNEW NOTHING AND WE GOT HIT AND
20:26
I GOT GREAT CREDIT ON MILITARY,
20:27
YOU KNOW WE KNOCKED OUT ISIS
20:28
AND WE REBUILT THE MILITARY.
20:30
GREAT CREDIT ON THE ECONOMY. I
20:32
NEVER GOT GREAT CREDIT ON THE
20:37
FIGHTING OF THE CHINA VIRUS,
20:38
WHICH IS COVID, BUT WE CALL IT
20:39
THE CHINA VIRUS BECAUSE WE LIKE
20:42
TO BE ACCURATE. BUT IF YOU
20:44
THINK OF WHAT I HAVE DONE, I
20:45
TOOK A DISASTER THAT CAME INTO
20:47
OUR SHORES THAT DUST FLEW IN
20:49
FROM CHINA AND WE STARTED
20:50
MAKING THINGS LIKE THE
20:53
VENTILATORS. WE WERE SUPPLYING
20:54
THE WHOLE WORLD WITH
20:57
VENTILATORS WITHIN A PERIOD OF
20:58
SEVEN MONTHS. WE TOOK AUTO
21:00
FACTORIES AND STARTED MAKING
21:01
VENTILATORS . WE DID THE
21:06
GALLONS, YOU KNOW, ALL THE
21:07
DIFFERENT THINGS, ALL THE
21:08
DIFFERENT RUBBERIZED PRODUCTS,
21:12
THE MASKS. EVERYTHING. AND WE
21:14
ALSO HAD TO GO BECAUSE YOU
21:19
KNOW, WHEN I TOOK OVER THE
21:20
CUPBOARDS WERE BARE. WE HAD
21:21
NOTHING. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO
21:22
HAVE, BUT WE HAD NOTHING. AND
21:24
IN ALL FAIRNESS TO PREVIOUS
21:25
PRESIDENTS, THE REASON IS THAT
21:26
NOBODY REALLY THOUGHT A
21:27
PANDEMIC IN THIS WORLD, IN THIS
21:33
AGE WAS POSSIBLE. YOU KNOW, YOU
21:34
REMEMBER 1917 WE HAD THE GREAT
21:35
PANDEMIC THAT PEOPLE TALK
21:36
ABOUT, 100 MILLION PEOPLE THEY
21:37
SAY DIED. AND BASICALLY THIS
21:39
WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HERE TOO
21:40
AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN HERE. I
21:43
THINK I DID A GREAT JOB. I
21:45
THINK I WILL NOT BE GIVEN
21:50
CREDIT FOR IT, BUT THERE ARE
21:52
PEOPLE WHO THINK I DID A
21:53
FANTASTIC JOB ON THAT. NOBODY
21:55
KNEW WHAT IT WAS, NOBODY KNEW
21:56
WHERE IT CAME FROM. AND
21:57
REMEMBER, WE HAD FAR FEWER
21:58
DEATHS THAN BIDEN AND HE JUST
22:02
GOT THE TAIL END. WE DID A
22:04
GREAT JOB.
22:06
>> MORE WITH DONALD TRUMP AFTER
22:07
A BREAK.
22:23
>>> I HAVE TWO QUICK QUESTIONS
22:24
THAT ARE MAYBE ONE SENTENCE MAY
22:25
BE. WHAT ARE TWO THINGS YOU DO
22:27
TO STAY HEALTHY?
22:28
>> I USED TO PLAY GOLF A LITTLE
22:29
BIT SO I DON'T KNOW, THAT
22:31
SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS SPORT
22:32
IN RETROSPECT. I TRY TO EAT
22:33
PROPERLY. I TRIED.
22:35
>> HAMBURGERS AND COKES?
22:37
>> PROPER HAMBURGERS. BUT I
22:44
LIKE PERHAPS ALL OF THE WRONG
22:46
FOOD BUT THEN I SAY DOES
22:47
ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT
22:48
FOOD IS? PEOPLE LECTURING ME
22:52
FOR YEARS, DON'T EAT THIS,
22:53
DON'T EAT THAT. THEY ARE GONE,
22:54
THEY PASSED AWAY LONG AGO. AND
22:55
I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO MAKE
22:57
TOO MANY CHANGES.
23:01
>> AND IF YOU ARE NOT
23:02
SUCCESSFUL THIS TIME, DO YOU
23:03
SEE YOURSELF RUNNING AGAIN IN
23:04
FOUR YEARS?
23:05
>> NO, I DON'T. I THINK THAT
23:07
WILL BE -- THAT WILL BE IT. I
23:15
DON'T SEE THAT AT ALL.
23:16
HOPEFULLY WE ARE GOING TO BE
23:18
SUCCESSFUL.
23:19
>> MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR
23:19
THE INTERVIEW. APPRECIATE IT.
23:21
THANKS FOR JOINING US FROM
23:22
MAR-A-LAGO, I AM SHARYL
23:22
ATTKISSON.
