The next closest candidate was Ronda Santis I 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: think at twenty percent, and then it goes downhill from 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: there for everybody else.

The real target are you, the American people 17 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: that he's standing up for. He talked about our enemies 18 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: are desperate to stop us because they know that if 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: we are the only ones that can stop them, and 20 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: they know that we can defeat them, they know that 21 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: we will defeat them, but they're not going to be 22 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: coming after me.

Sick. 44 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: These are sick people. I will put the people back 45 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: in charge of this country again. The people will be 46 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: back in charge of our country. And instead of spending 47 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of dollars to defend the borders of 48 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: distant foreign countries, under my leadership, we will defend our borders. First. 49 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: Three years ago, we had the safest border in the 50 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: history of our country, and I will quickly do that again. 51 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: All right, joining us now, the forty fifth President of 52 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: the United States, Donald J. Trump is back with us. Sir, 53 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: How are you hi? John? Let me throw out a 54 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: general question, and then you can take it anywhere you 55 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: want to take it. And this is how I see 56 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: the world right now, in two short years since you've 57 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: been out of office a little over two years. Now, 58 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: we see the territorial ambitions of both Russia on China 59 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: and China on full display. We're being told that Iran 60 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: may or ready be or is very close to becoming 61 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: a nuclear power. We had in two years over five 62 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: plus million people under this country illegally aided and embedded 63 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: by Joe Biden not enforcing our laws. We went from 64 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: energy independence and being a net exporter of energy now 65 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: now I know we're importing three million barrels of oil 66 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: a day from Venezuela, and we are now energy dependent 67 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: like never before. I'm looking at everything from the economy. 68 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: Two thirds of Americans now are living paycheck to paycheck. 69 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: You have more people now cashing in their four or 70 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: one ks their retirement's plans because the average American householder 71 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: is paying ten grand and Biden inflation tax. And it 72 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: all has gone to hell with record speed. I never 73 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: thought it would get this bad this fast. Well, Sean, 74 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: it's a question. I could talk to you about it 75 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: all day. To be honest with you, I could tell 76 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: you what they're doing, what went wrong, how foolish it is. 77 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: With the safest border in history, now we have the 78 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: worst border in history. I think that includes other nations, 79 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: because no nations ever had a border like us. It's ridiculous. 80 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: And you know the number of five million, I think 81 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: it's going to be fifteen million by the end of 82 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: this year, fifteen million people come in from prisons, from 83 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: insane asylums, from mental institutions. These are the people. We 84 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: have a lot of these people coming in, and the 85 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: jails are being emptied all over the world, not just 86 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: the three or four countries that I mentioned all the time, 87 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 1: but all over the world they're being emptied. That dumping 88 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: people were like a dumping ground, that dumping people into 89 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: our country. This was nothing like this was happening. We 90 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: had the best We had the most secure border we've 91 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: ever had, and I built hundreds of miles of wall. 92 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: I was going to build more in areas that we 93 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: actually needed it, that people didn't assume we needed so much. 94 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: But you know, when you put it in one area, 95 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: they go to another, sort of like water. But it 96 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: was We did a great job. Stay in Mexico, Remain 97 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: in Mexico was incredible. How it worked. Remain in Mexico 98 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: was just unbelievable. You think that was easy to get 99 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: a deal with Mexico, but they did it by saying, look, 100 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: if you don't do it, we're gonna put tariffs in 101 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: all your cars and everything you sell into the United States. 102 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: They said, sir, we would be honored to do it. 103 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: We'd be honored to allow millions of people to stay 104 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: in Mexico. They were pouring into our country. We had 105 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: it done so well, including our medical reasons to staying out. 106 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: You know about that, and you reported earn it better 107 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: than anybody. So all of this happened, and then you know, 108 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: you look at what's going on with Ukraine. That would 109 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: have never happened. Inflation would have never happened. Let me 110 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: ask you about Ukraine. You've said that before. Why would 111 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: it not have happened if you were president? Are you 112 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: talking about which one with Ukraine? Yeah? Yeah, because putting 113 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: understood that you can't do it. You can't do it, 114 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: don't forget. Under Bush, they take over Georgia. Under Obama, 115 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: they took over Crema, and under Biden to take it 116 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: over everything. It looks like they're going to take over everything, 117 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: the whole thing. They're gonna go for the whole Enchilada, 118 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: they go for everything. That's what it looks like to me. 119 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,559 Speaker 1: You know, that's not what you hear on the fake news, 120 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: but that's what it looks like to me. And under Trump, 121 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: you know what they took over. They took over nothing. 122 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: Russia first time, first president, at a long time they 123 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: took he understood he would have never done it. He 124 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: would have never that's without even negotiating a deal. I 125 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: could have negotiated. At worst, I could have made a 126 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: deal to take over something. You know, there are certain 127 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: areas that are Russian speaking areas, frankly, but you could 128 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: have worked a deal. And now Ukraine is just being 129 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: blown to smitherines and people are dying. And these cities 130 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: that were so beautiful, old cities, the ancient cities, they're 131 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: just being absolutely wiped off the face of the earth. 132 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: But so many people are dying, So many more people 133 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: are dying than has reported. And that's something would have 134 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: never happened in China. Could be next, you know, because 135 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: China no longer respects the United said, but they don't 136 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: respect us. And they're talking about Taiwan. They're looking at 137 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: what we do. They're looking at all of the stupidity. 138 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: I'll tell you a terrible thing was what happened in 139 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: Afghanistan with the Taliban. What happened in Afghanistan, and that 140 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: the fact that we left early, we actually left early, 141 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: was supposed to leave late, We left early. The fact 142 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: that that happened. Sehan was so bad. I think that's 143 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: what gave putin the extra little boosts to go in 144 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: and do it. But he would have never done it 145 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: with us. He wouldn't have done it for another reason too. 146 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: One number one, he wouldn't have done it. But he 147 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: also wouldn't have done it because I would have had 148 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: oiled down to forty dollars a bottle, and it was 149 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: actually up to one hundred and fifteen for a period 150 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: of time. We made a lot of money on it. 151 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: It haught to believe, right with all the war, but 152 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: they made a lot of money because that one hundred 153 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: and fifteen. That nation was really really rich and is 154 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: now because it's still very high, and it wouldn't have 155 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: been at that kind of a level, So it wouldn't 156 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: have happened there. We were energy into pend you know 157 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: that better than anybody. We were energy independence, soon to 158 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: be energy dominant. We were going to be so dominant 159 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: that we would have started paying off our debt. We 160 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: would have been reducing taxes still further. I gave the 161 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: largest tax cuts in the history. I gave the largest 162 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: the largest cuts think of as largest tax cuts and 163 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: largest regulation cuts in history. No president came close. And 164 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: that's why we created an engine the likes of which 165 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: nobody has ever seen until COVID. And then I did 166 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: it again. I rebuilt it and handed over a higher 167 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: stock market. Think of it, handed over a higher stock 168 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: market than they had just prior to COVID coming in, 169 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: and just we did an amazing job. We rebuilt the military. 170 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: We came up with right to try, things like right 171 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: to try where people were going all over the world 172 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: if they had enough money to do so, trying to 173 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: find a cure for a terminal disease. We wouldn't allow 174 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: anyone to get near it. And I made it so 175 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: that if somebody is very ill and give a lot 176 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: of our medicines prior to approval, and they're working thousands 177 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: and thousands of lives of being saved. It's amazing actually. So, 178 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: I mean, we did things that nobody ever even thought 179 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: of doing. But we were going to be energy dominant. 180 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: We would have been literally we were already bigger than 181 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, and we were bigger than Russia. We would 182 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: have been bigger substantially than both of them combined. In 183 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: a very short period of time, I got annwar approved 184 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan tried. He couldn't do it. Nobody could do it. 185 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: I got annwar was all approved practically in their first 186 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: week of office in office. They ended anwar that's the largest, 187 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: probably the largest oil site in the world, similar to 188 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. Could some people say it could be bigger. 189 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: They've been trying for it for decades. They couldn't get 190 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: it approved. I got it fully improved, fully approved, and 191 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: so we did a great job. And then I see 192 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: what's happening now to our country. Our country's laughing stock. 193 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: But a lot of bad things happened in Aghanistan in 194 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: terms of enthusiasm, in terms of respect. I don't think 195 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: there's ever been a time in our country's history where 196 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: we were mocked like that. That was one of the 197 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: worst worst moments in time in our country's history. And 198 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: I think that emboldens a lot of other places when 199 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: you see that. One of the things I was able 200 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: to do. You knew this, you reported in it better 201 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: than anybody, frankly, is I was able to get the 202 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: NATO nations to pay up. They weren't paying. They would delinquent, 203 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: they weren't paying, they were paying, they weren't paying their 204 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: fair share. And you also, by the way, were successful 205 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: in getting out of the Paris Climate Accords that recognized 206 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: both China and India is developing nations that we paid 207 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: the bulk of money in that deal, and the WHO, 208 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: same thing there, same and the WA, the w EF. 209 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: I want out of all these globalist organizations myself. Yeah, 210 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: well generally they're no good. But the World's Health arguments Z. 211 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: We were paying almost five hundred million dollars a year. 212 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: China was paying thirty nine million. We have three hundred 213 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: and fifty million people. China has one point four billion people. 214 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: They're paying thirty nine millionaire, we're paying almost five hundred million. 215 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: So I got out, not for that reason. I got 216 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: out because of how badly they handled a pandemic. I mean, 217 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: they didn't know what was happening. So I got out, 218 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: and they wanted to get They wanted me back in, 219 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: meaning this country back in so badly that I could 220 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: have gotten it for thirty nine million probably less, should 221 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: be less excellent, but I could have had that easily done. 222 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: But I said no, maybe we'll talk about it at 223 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: a later date. No, no, no, And then they just 224 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: went in. They're paying the full almost five hundred million. Enough. 225 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: There's no reason too. They were willing to give us 226 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: a tremendous you know, you're talking about four hundred, four 227 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars a year. When you talk trillions, 228 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like much, but I mean this is 229 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: for the sake of one sentence on a phone call. 230 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: Give us the same Dad you would have given Trump. 231 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: So I was at thirty nine million, same as China, 232 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: and I could have gotten it, if you think about it, John, 233 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: I could have gotten it for last, I believe because again, 234 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: we have a you know, it's a smaller in terms 235 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: of people, it's a smaller country. So pretty amazing when 236 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: you see this stuff happened. They just signed a deal 237 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: with the World Health Organization, and I guess they're paying 238 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: the original price, which is just so did they sign 239 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: that deal because if there was a future pandemic that 240 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: would result in us in the middle of the pandemic 241 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: before taking care of every American promising that we'd give 242 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: the World Health Organization twenty percent of everything that we 243 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: had regarding you know, if we had a vaccine, if 244 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: we had any type of therapeutics, if we had any 245 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: type of testing we'd hand over supplies that I'm sure 246 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: at the time would be desperately needed by Americans. First, well, 247 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: the deal they're talking about is that it literally would 248 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: mean that they would handle the pandemic in the United States. 249 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: And you so how they handled it generally, they didn't 250 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: really know what they were talking about. Wasn't doing it. 251 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: That's the real reason I get out, not just the 252 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: money it was. It was the fact that they gave 253 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: verd bit advice to the world. They didn't they didn't 254 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: know or they knew or they were giving it. The 255 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: China line inter China dominate the World Help Organization. So 256 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: for thirty nine million, they dominate. For five hundred million, 257 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: we don't dominate. Do you explain that one? But no, 258 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: they want to take over the whole thing, and we 259 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: will be totally subject to whatever they want. Who negotiates 260 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: these deals? Where are the people that who are the 261 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: people that negotiate deals like this? I mean I could 262 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: say the same thing with NAFTA. I got rid of 263 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: NAFTA and we did the USMCA and you know, Mexico, Canada, 264 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: and it's a great deal. We went from a horrible 265 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: deal to a great deal. Everyone said there's no way 266 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: I'd be able to get rid of NAPTA because if 267 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, you have to go through the legislature. I 268 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: got it through, we got it through the Senate, we 269 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: got it through Congress, we got it through everything. And 270 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: it's such a good deal that Mexico and Canada now 271 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: trying to renegotiate the deal, and I suggest we don't 272 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: do that because we lived with NAFTA for years. It 273 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: was so bad. It was the worst trade deal probably 274 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: that was one of the worst. Quick break will come 275 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: back more with the forty fifth President of the United States, 276 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: now officially a candidate running for president for twenty twenty four. 277 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: He gave this big speech at Seapack over the weekend. 278 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: We'll have more with President Trump on the other side. 279 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine for one, Shawn our number.

It 324 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: should break everybody's heart because I would argue that all 325 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: of this is preventable, all of it is unnecessary. I 326 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: mentioned Russia. We see their territorial ambitions on display. You 327 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: knew that as president You knew that Vladimir Putin wanted 328 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: to go back into Ukraine. He wanted more than Crimea. 329 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: You knew the president she also similarly had territorial ambitions 330 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: for Taiwan. We see what's now going on with the 331 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: Communist Chinese, and that is they've been flying their fighter 332 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: jets over Taiwan airspace. They've been threatening the United States 333 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: to stay out of Taiwan, even though they're an ally 334 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: of ours. They're getting more hostile seemingly by the day. 335 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: And there seems to be a new access of evil 336 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: and that is an alliance between China, Russia, Iran and 337 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: North Korea. How do you see it? Are they going 338 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: to go for Taiwan? Oh? We always said keep China 339 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: and keep Russia away. Now we have China, Russia, North Korea, 340 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 1: we have probably plenty of more. We have Iran all 341 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: teaming up now and before their natural enemies, it should 342 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: be a natural enemy deal. But under this group they've 343 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: all gotten together. Nobody thought it was even possible. Nobody 344 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: thought it was absolutely even possible. And you know, it's 345 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: very sad when you look at what's going on, the 346 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: world has never been in more danger. In my opinion, 347 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: because of the clear weapons. But it is right now. 348 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: I had a Ran to a point where they would 349 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: have made a deal within one week after the election, 350 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: they would have made a deal, and it would have 351 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: been a good deal. It would have been wonderful. They 352 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't have had nuclear weapons, et cetera, et cetera. Now 353 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: I read in the papers. Now so much of it 354 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: is stake. But I read in the papers that they're 355 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: about seven days away from having a nuclear weapon a Ran. 356 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: I'm reading the same papers that you're reading. It's scary, yep. 357 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: That's going to be a tough group to negotiate with. Short. 358 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: Let me tell you, I know from personal experience when 359 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: they have that, that we're allowing it to happen is 360 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: even crazier that we're allowing this to happen. We just 361 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 1: can't allow it to happen. But they were not going 362 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: to have nuclear weapons, and they would have been very 363 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: I stopped China. China wasn't buying oil from them. They 364 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: were at a point where they had to make a deal, 365 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: and they wanted to make a deal. And now they're 366 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: getting rich. China is buying massive amounts, record setting amounts 367 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: of oil from them. Everybody is. The whole thing is 368 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: so sad. It was literally under doorstep of having that 369 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: done and properly because there was the worst deal. What 370 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: another horrible deal that was made so stupid. Let me 371 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: ask specifically on China. Do you believe in the next 372 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: two years that China they call it reunification with Taiwan, 373 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: I would call it an invasion. Do you believe that 374 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: China will take over Taiwan? And if they do, what 375 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: do you think the reaction of Joe Biden would be 376 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: And what would your reaction be? Well, I think Joe 377 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: Biden is compromised. He did deals with China or they 378 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: paid a lot of money to the family, and I 379 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: think he's compromised, I really do because his stance on China, 380 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: like with the blimp or the balloon flying off and 381 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: then they shoot it down after it does all of 382 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: us work. I mean, you know, the whole thing is crazy. 383 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: But but there's so many things, by the way, I 384 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: gotta start. In my entire lifetime, I don't think there's 385 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: been a more humiliating moment than allowing a Chinese spy 386 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: balloon to fly over Alaska air space down the west 387 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: coast of Canada into Idaho, over in Montana, where our 388 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: ICBM missile sites are, than to Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, then 389 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: off the coast of the Carolinas. I can't believe it. 390 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: I think more humiliating, though, in terms of total humiliation, 391 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: was Afghanistan the way we left, the way we left, 392 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: not that we left. I had it down to two thousand, 393 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: five hundred soldiers. We were going to keep Bogram, you 394 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: know that. We talked about it a long time ago 395 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: because not for Afghanistan, but it's one hour away from 396 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: where China makes its nuclear weapons, and we're going to 397 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: keep Bogram. We gave up Bogram, one of the one 398 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: of the biggest greatest military bases, air force bases in 399 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: the world, land the largest planes, yet the runways are 400 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: the biggest and the strongest. They can hold anything. But 401 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 1: that would have given us a positioning place against our 402 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: number one geopolitical foe, and that is President Shew. You 403 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: met President She, You met Kim Jong un, You you 404 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: met Vladimir Putin? What were these people like? They're at 405 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: the top of their game. They are smart, cunning, they 406 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: want to do what's right for their country. They want 407 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: to do they want to win. They want to win, 408 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: and they cannot right now believe what they're getting away with, 409 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: all of them. They can't believe what they're getting away with. 410 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: So I had Kim Jong un. You know, I got 411 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: along with them great. Nobody else got along with them. 412 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: They couldn't even deal with them. They couldn't make it. 413 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: They couldn't even meet, and they wanted to meet. They tried, 414 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: they couldn't meet with him. I got along with them 415 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: very well. We had no problem, and we would have 416 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: had to deal with them too, by the way. We 417 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: would have absolutely had to deal with them. And now 418 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: he's going around making missiles all over the place, and 419 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: he's back, he's back to firing him a little rocketman's back. 420 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: He's firing them all over and you know, you look 421 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: at Iran. Iran wasn't doing anything with me. They were not. 422 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: There's no way they would have been doing And now 423 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: they can't go fast enough. You know when you hear 424 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: these reports going on, they cannot go fast enough. It's 425 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: a very very dangerous president. I think that President She 426 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: of China. You never heard anything about Taiwan when I 427 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: was president. They weren't. And I told him, you can't 428 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: do that. I can't tell my exact conversation because some 429 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: people would be upset. They'd be upset if I told it, 430 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: to be honest, but it was a very tough conversation. 431 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: He knew he wasn't going to do it. And when 432 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: this group came in, they immediately started flying bombers over Taiwan. 433 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: You know, twenty eight bombers over two days after I 434 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: was gone, they were flying over taking pictures of Taiwan. 435 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure that made the Taiwanese feel very good, having 436 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: twenty eight bombers, Chinese bombers fly over the top. But no, 437 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: and now you look at it, it's you have warships 438 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,239 Speaker 1: all over the place. You have warships surrounding it. And 439 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: they made their intentions. No, you didn't hear that when 440 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: I was president, and he wouldn't have done that. I 441 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: got along with him really great. He liked them, and 442 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: like me, they'll criticize me for saying I liked them, 443 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: but I got along with him Gray and I got 444 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: along with Putin. And that's a good thing, not a 445 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: bad thing. By the way, these are good things, not 446 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: bad things. I got along with You do you think 447 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: you got along with them? In part because they feared you. Well, 448 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: they knew there was going to be big retribution if 449 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: they did certain things, and therefore they wouldn't have done it. 450 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: I never had any doubt. For instance, I talked to 451 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: Putin about Ukraine a lot, but eventually we didn't talk 452 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: at all. There was no way he was going to 453 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: do anything. He understood that, and we just, you know, 454 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: we just that's the way it was. There was no 455 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: chance of it happening. There was no chance for inflation. 456 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: Inflation was caused by oil prices, by energy prices. And 457 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: let me let me transition into the economy, because I 458 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: think this is just killing the average American or you're 459 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: referred to them in twenty fifteen and sixteen as the 460 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: forgotten men and women in this country, but we now 461 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: have two thirds of the American people living paycheck to paycheck. 462 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: I've been there at points in my life, about a 463 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: decade of life. I didn't particularly like it. I'll be honest. 464 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: You have now Americans putting just for bare necessities. They're 465 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: using their credit card or they're tapping into their retirement accounts, 466 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: and they're taking huge losses doing it. There was a 467 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: mile long line this weekend in Kentucky for a food 468 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: pantry in my local town, upper middle class. You see 469 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: people online every Saturday at the food pantry. And these 470 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: are people. They may still have their homes and they 471 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: may even be driving a nice card. They're not They're 472 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: not taking advantage of the system. They didn't expect or 473 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: anticipate the average ten thousand dollars Biden inflation tax because 474 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: of his economic and energy policies. It's killing the American 475 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, taxpayers, they're killing you know. He just raised 476 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: taxes on oil, gas, coal, on pensions, and on corporations, 477 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: and corporations past that tax onto we the people, the consumer. Well, 478 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: the first thing he did was killed the Keystone pipeline, 479 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: which I had approved and they were starting work on it. 480 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: And all those workers, all those great workers, the pipeline 481 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: workers they all had. They really took it hard because 482 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: they had their whole lives set, you know, set back. Well, 483 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: he did give an approval for the Nordstream to pipeline. 484 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: He gave that, and I took that away. So I 485 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: took Nobody ever heard of Nordstream too, maybe not even 486 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: you until I became president. I said, they're building a 487 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: pipeline that goes all throughout Europe and takes share of Germany, 488 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: and that is a really bad thing. And in fact, 489 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: I gave Angela Merko the white flag of surrender. I say, 490 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: as soon as you have your next war with them, 491 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: and you know, if you look at history, they've had 492 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: the wars with Russia, you know that very well. But 493 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: as soon as you have your next war, here's a flag. 494 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: You can use that to surrender, because what you're doing 495 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: is you're putting your country in the hands of Russia 496 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: and whether or not they want to sell you energy. 497 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: I predicted that eighty percent of their energy was going 498 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: to come out of that pipeline, the out of Russia. 499 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: I said, you have to be crazy to be doing this. Now, 500 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: you remember at the United Nations when the Russian delegate 501 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: should thought it was sort of amusing when I was 502 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: saying this, that what a terrible mistake it is. Now 503 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: they've very much apologized and everybody knows. I call that 504 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: one right too. I called a lot of things right, 505 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: maybe everything right. But yeah, let me ask you this. 506 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: You left this country energy independent. We were a net 507 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: exporter of energy. Lately you've been using the term energy dominance. 508 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: I take that to mean we as a country have 509 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: been so blessed with natural resources gas, oil, coal, etc. 510 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: The ability to extract it with new technologies is phenomenal. 511 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: Would we be able to provide all of our Western 512 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: European allies all of their energy needs? And wouldn't that 513 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: go a long way to creating I paying American jobs 514 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: while simultaneously making America rich as hell and hopefully even 515 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: eliminating all debt. Well that's what I was going to do, 516 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: and that's where we were headed, and we were going 517 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: to be dominant. We have more than anybody else. We 518 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,479 Speaker 1: have more I called liquid gold under our feet than 519 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: anybody else. Texas is massive, Oklahoma, all these incredible places. 520 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: We have more than anybody. And then I got anwar approved, 521 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: which nobody could have done. Nobody could have done. Reagan 522 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: couldn't have done. Reagan tried so hard he couldn't do it. 523 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: Nobody could do it. I got anwar probably bigger than 524 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and war in Alaska. I got that done 525 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: by the way. They terminated it the first week that 526 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: he was in office. They terminated that took not easy 527 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: to do it. I got it all approved Reagan couldn't 528 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: do it. Bush couldn't do it. Nobody could do it. 529 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: I got it done. Would have been like having Saudi 530 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: Arabia in Alaska in terms of energy, in terms of jobs, 531 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: in terms of money. We would have made so much money. 532 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: We were bigger than Saudi Arabia individually and Russia as 533 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: I left, we would have been double and triple their 534 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: size within a short period of time, literally a short 535 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: period of time. We would have been paying more for 536 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: our debt. We would have had money, We would have 537 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: been reducing taxes. It was going to be a gold 538 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: mine and it was going to be helpful. We would 539 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: have supplied Europe with oil instead of Russia supplying one thing. 540 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: You would have been good for national security. Quick break 541 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: more with the forty five president of the United States, 542 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: now officially a candidate for president in twenty twenty four, 543 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump is with us. You know, you may 544 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: not know this, but all of the best shooters in 545 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: the world do a majority of their training doing what's 546 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: called dry fire practice at home.

All right, 571 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: we continue now with former President Trump, also officially a 572 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: candidate for twenty twenty four, is with us. I agree 573 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: with you. I think election day should be a national holiday. 574 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: I think we should have paper ballots. I think we 575 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: should have partisan observers watch the voting in every presect 576 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: and in the country. When the polls closed, partisan observers 577 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: watch all the vote counting. You know you announced the winner. 578 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: Everybody goes home. We know who won the night of 579 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,479 Speaker 1: the election. That's what I prefer. But that's not the 580 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: system we have. And the only way you're going to 581 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: get that system is to win elections. I've heard you 582 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: now for the first time, tell Republicans. There's been this reluctance, 583 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: resistance to voting early mail in voting. And I think 584 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: these Democrats that hide in their basements like Joe did 585 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and Fetterman did and Katie Hobbs did 586 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: most of these states. Is only one state that mandates 587 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: you hand in your own ballot, that's Alabama. And most 588 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: of these states have legal ballot harvesting laws. Republicans have 589 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: not matched Democratic efforts. Should they follow the law and 590 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: match it and make even make their system more superior. 591 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: So Republicans always liked voting on election day, but of 592 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: course election day doesn't exist anymore. Now we have election 593 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: periods where you have two months sometimes and it's very dangerous, 594 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: very bad. We should go to single day, you know, 595 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: voting like we should have never gone away from it, 596 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: frankly because our elections have problems, like nobody could even believe. 597 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: But Republicans have always wanted to vote an election day, 598 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: and that's a good thing. The problem is bad things happen. 599 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: You look at what happened in Arizona with Garry Lake, 600 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: but you also look at the accumulation of ballots that 601 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: these opponents that the Democrats do. They get they have 602 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: an accumulation of ballots that are really massive, and a 603 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: lot of things going to happen. Bad things can happen 604 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: if you wait till election day. So I think what 605 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: we're going to have to do. Ultimately we want to 606 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: go same day voting, voter ID all of the things 607 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: we talk about, paper ballots who have great election secure elections. 608 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: But until we get there and we have to get there. 609 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: You have to win to get there. Until we get there, 610 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: we want to accumulate ballots at an early level, at 611 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: the earliest possible level, and do it that way. And 612 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: I think we're going to have to go that way, 613 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: and the Republican Party needs to build that system. Them 614 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: out yesterday. They can't wait till twenty twenty four. Of 615 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: my view, we could talk all day. I have a 616 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: million more questions I've prepared for you that I have 617 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: not gotten to. But we'll have you on again soon. 618 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: We really appreciate your time. You've been very generous with it. 619 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: Former President Donald J.
