WEBVTT - The Donroe Doctrine 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.200 Our two Sean Hannity Show toll free. It is eight 0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:04.960 hundred and ninety four one Shawn, if you want to 0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:07.360 be a part of the program. Obviously, this is the 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.200 most important midterm election year that I think we'll see 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:14.960 in our lifetime. Either President Trump and Republicans win or 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:19.600 all progress stops and investigations and impeachments take over. I mean, 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:21.680 that's going to be your choice. And I hope all 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:23.920 of you will make a commitment in your mind and 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.320 heart and soul that you're going to vote in November. 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:29.720 It's not a lot to ask, you know what. I 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:33.559 want this country to continue to progress. But anyway, I 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:37.560 had a chance yesterday to travel to DC and sit 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.480 with President Trump. I sat with him for a long time, 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.000 both on air and off air, and we talked about 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.160 a lot of things. There's a lot happening in the world, 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:50.080 from Venezuela and Cuba and Iran and Russia. You know, 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.240 we basically skipped around the globe. We talked about the economy. 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:55.520 Here is that interview. 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:57.800 There's really not much in the news, so there's not 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:01.120 a real lot to talk about. But start with Veniceituela 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:08.000 narco terrorist indicted guy that we're losing two Unite Americans 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.679 a day to drugs. Yeah, walk us through this decision 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:12.840 in Venezuela. 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.400 Well, it wasn't a hard decision. 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.520 Democrats wanted them and Republicans wanted them, and nobody had 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.720 what it takes to get him or didn't want to 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:21.040 get him. 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:21.399 I don't know. 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.320 Something happened, but he killed a lot of people. He 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.399 sent a lot of bad people into our country, who 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.840 emptied his prisons into the United States. He emptied his 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.319 mental institutions and insane as adams. 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.440 Into the United States and did a lot of very 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.360 bad things. But he was a big drug pushy. 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.360 You see that because all the boats that we shot down, 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.880 they came out of Venezuela a lot of drugs. There's 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.400 a lot of boats and a lot of drugs. Are 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.559 very few boats operating right. 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.840 Now, so there's no boats. You can't find any boats. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.560 I don't think anyone would go fishing on there. 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.600 Not a lot of people want to go fishing anymore. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:57.160 But we've knocked out ninety seven percent of the drugs 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.280 coming in by water, and we are going to start 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:05.720 now hitting the land. With regard to the cartels, the 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.760 cartels are running Mexico. It's very, very sad to watch 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.200 and see what's happened to that country. But the cartels 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.040 are running, and they're killing two hundred and fifty three 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.760 hundred thousand people in our country every single year. The drugs. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:22.440 It's horrible. It's devastated. Families lose a child or a parent. 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.399 I mean, parents are dying too with drugs. So we've 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.600 done a really good job. We're knocking it down. The 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.480 numbers are really getting to be They're always going to 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.880 be too high if you have one person, but they're 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:34.240 going down. 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:35.040 Just like the border. 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:39.040 The border was a total mess for years. I did 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.120 it the first time very quickly, and this time I 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.000 did it even better because this was a bigger mess. 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.560 This was a border like no other, probably in the 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:47.160 history of the world. 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.280 There's never been a border like that when anybody could 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:50.400 just walk into your country. 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.600 Borders ostensibly really closed. 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.640 Now close, you can't come in, and nobody comes, nobody 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.600 even tries. And the people in Texas, Arizona, all these 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.440 places that are won by such big numbers, they are 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.040 so happy with the border. They had homes that they 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:07.760 weren't even able to live in their home. 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:08.519 Every day. 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:13.639 People were knocking on their door every hour, and it's 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:14.720 just a great honor to. 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:15.480 Be involved with it. 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.840 The Ice and Border Patrol and all of the people 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.240 have been so good. Tom Home and Christine Home. The 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.480 people have done such an incredible job. You have no idea. 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.320 You've made a number of profound announcements and then a 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:30.640 new announcement today. 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:33.400 Announcement number one was. 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.520 Thirty to fifty million barrels of oil that they will 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.480 be handing over to you, and you will sell it on. 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.280 The market from the market prices. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.000 That money will be used for the people of Venezuela 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.920 and the people of America. Then they made an announcement 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.680 yesterday that they will buy all of their goods. 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:55.200 From this country. Today we learn that. 0:03:55.280 --> 0:04:00.000 The holdovers since Maduro's gone, have agreed to free all 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.480 all of the political prisoners. 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:01.880 Right. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.760 It indicates they want peace with Donald Trump. 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.320 To me, how do you interpret it? We asked them 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.880 to do that, and they've been great. They really have been. 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.920 I mean, everything we've wanted they've given us. We went in, 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:19.120 we took Maduro out. Amazingly that nobody. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:20.240 Was killed, We didn't lose a soldier. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.440 We had some people wounded, but we didn't lose a soldier. 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.520 A couple of very brave helicopter pilots were wounded pretty badly, 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.840 but they're good. They're in good shape, and it was 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.680 an amazing attack. The other side was lost a lot 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:34.920 of people, unfortunately. 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.080 But you know, this house was in the middle of. 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:41.320 A fort with thousands of people and soldiers and everything else. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.200 So we went right into the middle of a fort. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.599 Who would think he could do that and not lose anybody, 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.119 But they had it planned so beautifully. General Raisin Kane 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.479 and Pete Haikseth were fantastic. Marcu has been doing a 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:57.040 great job. Vice President. The whole group is it's just 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.720 a fantastic It's a fantastic group. 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.360 Let's talk a little bit about you make these decisions. 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.760 I don't care if it's this case Operation Midnight Hammer. 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.080 In the one case, you're here in the. 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.560 White House in the situation room, you're watching this unfold 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.400 in real time. In this case, you have operationally the 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.080 same thing, a situation room. 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:24.200 Direct in Palm Beach at Marrow Lago. You make that 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:25.080 ultimate call. 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.440 You are the commander in chief, right you're watching it 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:29.520 unfold in real time. 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.040 What is that like, well, I've done it now quite 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.680 a bit. We took out Salamani, which was a big deal. 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:40.240 I mean a very big deal. At least it was 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.760 very bad. People killed a lot of people. Everybody you 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.039 see just about ninety five percent of the people you 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.600 see walking around without legs, without arms. That was the 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.359 roadside bomb. That was his baby. He loved it. We 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.839 took him out. We took out Al mag Daddy, he's 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.320 the founder of ices. We did Midnight Hammer, which was 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.520 a literate the Iran nuclear threat, and it was a 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.839 total obliteration that, as they found out, there be two 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.880 bombers and the best pilots anywhere in the world. They 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.919 did it at night with no moon, totally dark, and 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.920 every bomb went right down an air shaft into deep 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:18.279 into a granite mountain. 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:19.680 It is amazing. 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.240 And we did this and there's similar in a way. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.919 I don't know this this seems to have gotten the imagination, 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.080 maybe even more than the other ones, but I think 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:34.200 they're very equal in many ways. But I don't know, 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.400 you know, maybe taking out the nuclear threat from Iran 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.840 it's very important. But in terms of captivating attention, this 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.640 seems to be something that is beyond anything that anybody's seen. 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.760 The operational details, well, the bravery involved. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.159 You know. I mean to have people coming going into 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:57.760 an army force with you know, thousands of soldiers, land 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.039 a helicopter right in the middle of it, break down 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.559 a steel door because you know it's a fortified house, 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.200 break down a steel door, run through the hallway shooting, 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:13.560 and come out ten minutes later with a guy who 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.679 wasn't quite able to get into a safe house. 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.000 You know there's a safe. 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.400 I heard they got to him within three minutes. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:21.520 Three minutes. 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.600 It was so fast. I mean, nobody said us in 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:25.320 it and didn't like it. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.840 But the safe house wasn't safe because they had blow 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.760 torches that go through steel like it's butter. They didn't 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.800 have to use them, but we, uh, we have. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:36.840 These are great people. 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.680 These are really brave people, even coming down those ropes. 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.880 You know, they're coming down ropes off the helicopter and 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.200 they run them. I was thinking to myself, I wonder 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:46.560 if I could do that, I can have to give 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.960 it a try sometimes, but they do it like it's 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.360 like it's a stairway, like it's a beautiful stairway and 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.920 they're on the ground instantly and they're ready for action. 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.960 Is it brave people. We have the greatest soldiers in 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:00.920 the world. We have the greatest equipment in the world. 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.480 Nobody can match us, you know, a lot, and I 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.800 rebuilt the entire military during my first tim good thing. 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.080 Biden gave some of it away, a lot of it, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.000 but not a lot roative to what I bought. But 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:17.200 he gave a big chunk to Afghanistan, which was just insane. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.960 That was one of the most embarrassing moments in the 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:20.960 history of our country. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.000 This was the opposite. 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.040 This was a total you know, if you think about 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.360 Jimmy Carter with the hostages, or you think about the 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:33.959 Afghanistan disaster that we had not so long ago with Biden, 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.240 where it was just mass confusion and the death of 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.360 thirteen great soldiers who I got to know. I got 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.840 to know the families very well, great people. But also 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.920 and nobody talks about I'm forty eight people so badly 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:51.160 injured and hundreds of people dead, hundreds of people you 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.720 know when those mobs were off, because I count the 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.840 other side, but there were hundreds of people killed, all 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:01.200 because of an incompetent group of politics in generals and 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.520 people that shouldn't be there. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:08.560 Let's talk a little bit, maybe an underreported story, but 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:15.720 we know for a fact that both the Russians in 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:20.640 the Chinese provided missile and ballistic missile systems. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.000 They did it to both. 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.160 They helped Iran and they helped Venezuela. 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:28.560 But you were able to dismantle that. 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.600 You talk a lot about American military superiority, and then 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.760 that goes into the issue that you raised this week 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:39.559 of raising the budget for twenty twenty seven from one trillion. 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.040 To one and a half trillion dollars. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.680 We need it, you know, when you look at the 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.920 thread out there, we have the best equipment in the world. 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.559 We make the best equipment in the world. We may 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.960 just you know, there's nothing even close, but we need 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.720 it because there are some real threats out there. 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.920 Yeah, well, I think we certainly do. 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.800 Let me ask you about this, and I think this 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.880 is important. With every military operation comes risk, and you 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:08.400 have to obviously weigh that risk. And I think Americans 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.280 would want to know what goes into your thinking because 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:15.000 there's a whole new military doctrine. I call it the 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.880 Trump doctrine. I think it's widely misunderstood. 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:19.440 No forever wars. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.280 However, that doesn't mean you don't use the mite and 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:27.080 power of the US military. You mentioned Bagdaddy SOLEMANI I'll 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.439 add the mother of all bombs in Afghanistan, the ISIS 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:34.400 Caliphate and then taking out a Rand's nuclear weaponsites and 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:35.760 now our hemisphere. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.320 Are you calling it the Don Road doctrine? 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.400 Well, they call it the donro I didn't go with that, 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.000 but they're calling it this the Monroe Doctor and now 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.880 they go with the Don Road, which is basically safety 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:50.280 for this part of the world. And yeah, I mean 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.120 it's pretty simple. We don't want drugs boring into our country. 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.080 We don't admit people coming into our country like happened 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.800 for four years under Biden, who's a disgrace, worst president 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.040 the history of our country. 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:01.520 Horrible. 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.160 We had some other Bedroins, let me tell you, Obama 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.440 was a terrible president. The divisiveness and the hatred it 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.240 was cause and many of the people allowed into the country. 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.680 But what Biden did was a step beyond anything that 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.320 anybody's ever done. We had millions of people pouring through 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:17.720 the border. 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.080 Now we have nobody coming in unless they come in legally. 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.560 Let's talk about you said for the interim, you will 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:30.040 be in charge, Okay, obviously the remaining leadership underneath Maduro. 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.679 They've made I mentioned earlier, three major concessions, thirty to 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.360 fifty million barrels of oil. They're going to buy and 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:43.079 purchase all their goods from America. Now they're releasing political prisoners. Okay, 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:47.520 what is your ultimate goal for the governance of Venezuela. 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.920 Prisoners that nobody thought they would ever see again now 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:55.040 being released. Yeah, and in many cases good people is 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.320 what I understand. But prisoners nobody ever thought they'd be released. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:04.040 So we're going to be working with them and leadership 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.920 of the country, and so far we've been working very well. 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:12.400 You know, we picked up the Russian freighter that trudged 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:12.720 out there. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:13.880 I want to ask you about that. 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.280 Well, they had some Russian ships guarding it and they 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.520 decided not to mess around with us, and we took 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.640 that one. That's unloading the oil. But we're getting we're 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.200 taking billions and billions of dollars worth of oil, and 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.680 it'll be hundreds of billions of dollars, it'll be trillions 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.920 of dollars. But we're going to be there till we 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.960 straighten out the country. We'll see how the country's doing, 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.160 but we'll be running the oil. We're meeting tomorrow with 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.120 all of the big oil executives. We're going to be 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:41.640 right here in the White House. We're going to meet 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.240 with the biggest oil people in the world. They're all 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:49.120 coming here. At the top fourteen companies are coming here. 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.160 They're going to go in. They're going to. 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.000 Rebuild the whole oil infrastructure. They're going to spend at 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:58.080 least one hundred billion dollars. And it's an unbelievable oil 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.319 that they have, and an unbelievable quality of oil and 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:02.200 amount of oil. 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:08.040 When they nationalized the oil industry in Venezuela, going back 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.640 to the nineteen twenties, American companies had invested billions. We 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.040 built it, all of it, and then it was taken 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:16.439 from stolen. 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.280 It was stolen from us, and it was. 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.599 Taken away years ago, over a period. 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:23.559 Of time, but it was taken. 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.120 Away in the early two thousands, even beyond that, but 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:31.280 the early two thousands, and I. 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:32.000 Just took it back. 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:38.319 I can't imagine them being able to They have the 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:42.320 largest oil reserves in the world. I can't imagine without 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:49.320 American investment ingenuity, engineering, and our assistance that they would 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.920 ever be able to tap into the vast resources that 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.040 they have, again the largest in the entire world, So 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.000 that will be a big part of it. What does 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:05.679 that mean in terms of America's new partnership with Venezuela. 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.240 Well, it means lower oil prices all over the world, 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:08.679 which is great for everybody. 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.119 It means lower oil. 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.320 Prices for America, which I have it down. Don't forget. 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.040 I inherited a mess. I inherited. 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.320 They talk about affordability. There was no affordability under Biden. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.240 He had the worst inflation in history, the highest and 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.440 worst inflation in history. Prices were through the roof, and 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.360 I'm fixing it. I inherited a mess. I say it 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.360 all the time. I inherited because people don't understand. I 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:36.160 inherited a mess. Open borders, millions of people in this 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:37.360 country that shouldn't be. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:38.480 With moving them out. 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.440 We're moving them out pretty rapidly, to murderers and drug 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:46.000 dealers and just some of the worst people in the world. 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.160 All right, quick break right back. More of my exclusive 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.280 sit down with President Trump on the other side than 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.920 we have our polsters. Matt Tower, Robert Kahley and one 0:14:55.000 --> 0:15:02.000 year after the Pacific Palisades devastating fire, how come nobody's 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.480 got permits to build their homes. Well, have a full 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.840 report coming up. All right, we continue more of my 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.560 interview with President Trump at the White House yesterday. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:12.800 Let me go back to. 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:19.000 This issue of the political future for the people of Venezuela. Now, 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.160 it's interesting you mentioned all of the criminals and the 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.880 people let out of prisons that were sent to our 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.520 borders in our country. That's trende arrago, that's cartel members. 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.240 Some of the worst criminals in the world were let 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.320 into our country. No one terroritize Biden's open border policy. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:37.120 Anybody could come. 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.760 In and that We'll get into the issue of Minneapolis 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.280 going on right now. But back to this one issue. 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.760 Do you foresee a Venezuela. 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.760 That will have free and fair elections? 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:55.360 And I would have little doubt that the opposition would 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.840 probably win handle it if they were free and if 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:58.480 they were fair. 0:15:58.760 --> 0:15:59.680 Yeah, I do see that. 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.840 I think that's happening. But before we do that, it's 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.200 going to take a while to do it. We have 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.480 to rebuild the country. They couldn't have an election, they 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.320 wouldn't even know how to have an election right now. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:09.560 The country has become. 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.040 Third World and they wouldn't know how to have an 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.480 election right now. We're going to rebuild the oil and 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.560 the oil infrastructure. We'll be in charge of it. It's 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:20.720 going to do great and make a lot of money, 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.600 and we're going to take it from there. But we're 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.720 going to rebuild the country and we'll ultimately you're going 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:26.760 to have elections. 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:31.360 When you talk about increasing defense spending, and I go 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.320 back to the campaign, and I go back to your 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:39.000 first term. Foreign policy usually doesn't get a lot of discussion, 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.800 and in many ways you have dedicated a lot of time, energy, 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.440 and resources very important for our country. Well, how is 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.800 that in America's first interest, because that's what you stand for. 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.280 Well, like the Middle East was blowing up when I 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.000 got in. It was everybody was fighting everybody, which in 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.800 fairness has been going on for about three thousand years 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.440 the Middle East. So we now have peace of the 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.640 Middle East. Nobody thought that was possible. But you have 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:09.680 some great countries Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Ue and many other 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:10.600 countries that have. 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.160 Been around a long time. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:16.959 They're very wealthy, they were in many ways put out 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.080 of business that weren't able to do business. You know, 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:24.359 tremendous wealth for the world. The oil supply was hurt. 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.600 Everything was hurt. I mean, you had things happening in 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:30.400 the Middle East that were bad, not only in Gaza, 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.040 with the death and the destruction going on for years, 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:38.479 and it's been cleaned up. It's amazing it's been cleaned up. 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.920 Now there'll be some remnants right now. We're gonna have 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.840 to see what happens with Hamas. We're gonna have to 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:47.560 see what happens with Hesbola and Lebanon. But we have 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.199 fifty nine countries that signed on and they want to 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.080 go in and help. If we should have to do 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.960 something with Hamas, which is a possibility, I think they're 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.800 going to do what they said they were going to do. 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.679 They were going to disarm that they've been armed for 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:02.359 a long time. 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.639 They've been a little slow to disarm. Yeah, they've been 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.360 Louise support Israel. Will you put them on a time? 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:07.960 I would, but. 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.040 First we'll see whether or not they're going to be disarming. 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.120 Look, I'm all for it if they If they don't, 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.240 they made the promise that they were. If they don't, 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.880 they've they've made an agreement that they're going to disarm, 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.040 so we're going to have to assume that they're going 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.520 to but you know, it's not their nature to disarm. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.080 It's not exactly their nature. Hasbel husband a very bad 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:29.240 and Lebanon. But overall, I mean, we have an amazing 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.520 situation compared to what it was, and we really do 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.600 have peace in the Middle East. And I will say 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.480 so the Arabia quitar Ue and other countries have been amazing. 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.080 They've been, you know, so helpful in getting it done. 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.480 But the biggest thing was the attack on Iran. If 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.879 you if you had a strong Iran and respected Iran, 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:51.320 a powerful Iran like I guess it was at one point. 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.520 So you know, a year ago, year and a half ago, 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.280 you wouldn't have been able to make peace because the 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.000 other countries wouldn't have been able to have that dark 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:03.520 cloud hanging over them. And they by by knocking out 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.280 their nuclear potential, they would have had a nuclear weapon 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:07.920 within two months by knocking that. 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:08.840 That's why I had to go in. 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.320 Every president wanted to go in, and none of them did. 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.840 I mean, you didn't want to send cargo planes of 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:16.000 cash and of the currency. 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.879 Oh terrible. I mean, I've never seen hundreds of hundreds 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.479 of millions of dollars were sent in cash on Boeing 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:26.840 seven fifty sevens, beautiful Boeing seven. They opened the cashers 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.080 piled up to the ceiling. I never even knew a 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:30.679 president could do that. How do you do that? 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:31.199 What do you do? 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:33.879 Call the banks? You know, they emptied out every bank 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:37.520 in Virginia and Maryland to get that cash, and they 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:39.160 sent it over there and gave it to him. 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:40.159 No, we took the. 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:43.040 Opposite approach, exactly the opposite approach. 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:48.200 Are you following the protesting that is taking place all 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:48.920 over the. 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:49.560
