This is what 146 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 5: the President's going to do to keep America safe. 147 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 7: I'm asking the justification for going after people you don't like. 148 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: No, No, the people that I think are dishonest, it's 149 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: not that. 150 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 2: I don't I don't even know most of them. The 151 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: people that I. 152 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 7: Think people make you angry, there's not anger. 153 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: These are people that I think are very dishonest. 154 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: I don't think they're worthy of being able to go 155 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: into top secret information. I think that's fine, and Biden 156 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: did that with many of our people. But when you 157 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: look at it, these are people that I don't think 158 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: are worthy of That's my decision. 159 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: It's not a question of anger. 160 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 5: By the way, these are several people who flat out 161 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 5: lied and use the security clearance to lie to the 162 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 5: American voters and tell them that the hunter Byden laptop 163 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 5: was quote Russian disinformation. Now, one of the main things 164 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 5: the President wanted to get across was that we are 165 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 5: respected in the world. Again, the president is he described 166 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 5: it couldn't even walk up a flight of stairs. 167 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: Well. 168 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 5: Donald Trump also talked about Biden's security clearances and why 169 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 5: he believes he shouldn't have them. 170 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: Biden did something to me, and I did something to Biden. 171 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: And you know why I did it because he's grossly incompetent. 172 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: That's not a man that you be allowed to be 173 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: looking at things that are very confidential. But what because 174 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: it's in seventy one he is a man that used 175 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: an autopen to sign very important documents. Now, who really 176 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: is did do you think he knew what that they 177 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: were using an autopen. I mean, he used an autopen 178 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: to sign very very important documents. And so those are 179 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: really the questions you should be asking, what do you 180 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: think of the autopen? Who wielded the autopen, because whoever 181 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: that person. 182 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 2: Was, think of it. 183 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: Whoever the person that wielded the autopen, he was really 184 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: the president of the United States, because I don't think 185 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: I don't think that Biden knew. 186 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: Anything about it. 187 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 5: I don't think Biden knew anything about it. Referencing the autopen. 188 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 5: ABC News wasn't done there with their propaganda. However, when 189 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 5: they decided to ask the president, hey, like, are you. 190 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 3: Using your powers for personal revenge? 191 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 6: Are you using your powers as president to get personal revenge? 192 00:09:59,040 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: No, I'll tell you what. 193 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you're really not asking, and you 194 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: should be asking. There has never been a president in 195 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: this country in the history that was persecuted like I 196 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: was persecuted by really crooked people, dishonest, horrible people. 197 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: And has been proven. 198 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: So when you say I'm treating people rough, I'm not 199 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: treating people rup. I was treated worse than any president 200 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: in the history of our country. And you know, people 201 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: figured well maybe that's it. Finally we got you know, 202 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: he's leaving town. There goes to helicopter, and then I 203 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: came back. And I came back because I have tremendous support. 204 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: You know, when you went an election like I wanted, 205 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: and you will admit, I won all seven swing states. 206 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: I won the popular vote. 207 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: I won seven hundred of let's see, two thousand, seven 208 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty districts compared to five hundred districts. That's 209 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: why the map is all read. And those people feel 210 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: that I was treated unfairly. Now. 211 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 5: The President was also asked a question by ABC News 212 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 5: about Doge, of course in a negative light. The President 213 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 5: fought back on that one as well, saying this. 214 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 6: Did Doge go too far, too fast, too reckless. 215 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: No, I think those has been saved. One hundred and 216 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars billion we saved. That's a lot of money. 217 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: There's also a lot of things right now under investigation 218 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: which is going to increase that amount by a lot. 219 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: That's a tremendous amount of money. There were some things 220 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: where when I heard about them, I put them back, 221 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: as you know, there are things that I'm. 222 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: Considering right now putting back. 223 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: But overall, we've saved hundreds of billions of dollars. 224 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 6: Well, the original promise was two trillion, went to one trillion, 225 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 6: out to one hundred and fifty million at heading now. 226 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: What it's going to be because we have things that 227 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: are at a very high level that are being looked 228 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: at right now. We also found tremendous waste, fraud and abuse. 229 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 2: As you know, we found a lot of fraud. 230 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: There was a lot of fraud, Fraudulent things were taken place, and. 231 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: We ended that. And those people are going to be suffering. 232 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 3: Me just the president. 233 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 5: Clearly, they are stating that he's doing exactly what the 234 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 5: American people want him to do. And when it comes 235 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 5: to dogs, they love the fact the President is saving money. 236 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 3: Now. 237 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 5: Finally, on a foreign affairs issue, the President was asked 238 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 5: about Vladimir Putin and Russia and Ukraine, and here is 239 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 5: what the President had to say. 240 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 6: It does feel like something's happening after that meeting with 241 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 6: Zelensky in Saint Peter's. 242 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 7: You posted this on social media. 243 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 6: There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles 244 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 6: into civilian areas and cities and towns over the last 245 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 6: few days. 246 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: It makes me think that those part of my posts. 247 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 6: But you're right, that was a part of a post, 248 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 6: and it says it makes me think that maybe he 249 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 6: doesn't want to. 250 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 7: Stop the war. 251 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: He's just tapping me along. Yeah, that's possible. 252 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: He might be. He could be tapping me along a 253 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: little bit. I would say that he would like to 254 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: stop the war. I think that if it weren't for me, 255 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: I think he'd wanted. 256 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 2: To take over the whole country. 257 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: Personally, I always felt so when I left, there wasn't 258 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: even a chance that this would happen. When Biden got involved, 259 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: I won't say whether or not he handled it properly, 260 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: but obviously it wasn't good because the war started. 261 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: Putin went in. The war started. 262 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: I believe that Putin wanted to get all of you 263 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: once he went in, And I think part of the 264 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: reason he went and he saw what happened in Afghanistan. 265 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: How incompetent, how incompetently million all these guys handled that. 266 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: It was one of the greatest embarrassments of our lifetimes, 267 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: but maybe in the history of our country. 268 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 2: Okay, so Putin went in. I think Putin wanted all 269 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 2: of Ukraine. 270 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: I think if I didn't win the election, he would 271 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: have gotten all of Ukraine. 272 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 2: I think he would have taken all of you Crade. 273 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: I think his first choice never with me. He would 274 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: have never gone in with this group of losers. 275 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 2: He went in. 276 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: He saw what happened in Afghanistan. He said, Wow, this 277 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: is my chance. Because it was always the apple of 278 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: his eye. I talked to him, Ukraine was the apple of 279 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: his eye. I think he wanted the whole country. 280 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 7: You've said them once of me. 281 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: I do believe that he's willing to stop the fighting. 282 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 7: Don't forget he wants You think Vladimir Putin wants peace. 283 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 2: I think he does. Yes, I think it does. 284 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 7: I think he was a reigning missiles. 285 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: I think he really his his dream was to take 286 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: over the whole country. 287 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: I think because of me he's not going to do that. 288 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: Because of me, he's not going to do it. 289 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 5: And as for the meeting, was the Lenscape the president 290 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 5: summed up the change of heart this way I. 291 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: Want to turn. 292 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 6: I was just in Rome and to that moving photograph 293 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 6: of you and Presidents Lensky sitting in Saint Peter's Basilica 294 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 6: talking peace. 295 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 7: It went around the world. 296 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 2: Sure, take us into that moment. 297 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: Well, look, the Ukraine is a very serious, very tough situation, 298 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: and this is Biden's war. 299 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: This is not my war. 300 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: But I want to see if I can sell of it, 301 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: because probably close to five thousand young soldiers a week. 302 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: Of being killed, Russian and Ukrainian. 303 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: We also spend a tremendous amount of money in Ukraine, 304 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: and Europe should be spending much more than us than 305 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: not just spending much less.
