00:03:49.980 We've got a very special guest to kick this off.
00:03:51.680 A couple of special guests to kick this off.
00:03:53.700 We've got Ambassador Rick Grinnell.
00:03:56.760 Ambassador Grinnell, thank you very much for joining us.
00:03:59.260 I understand you're out there in the baking heat somewhere, so we're not going to keep you that long.
00:04:05.060 Tell us your thoughts on the book, your letter, all of it.
00:04:08.540 Well, thanks, Steve.
00:04:09.880 Hello to Sergio.
00:04:11.140 Congratulations to Sergio on putting together this amazing book.
00:04:15.900 I'm just honored to be in the book.
00:04:17.860 I wrote President Trump a letter on New Year's Eve.
00:04:21.340 And I think on New Year's Eve, we all feel a little nostalgic about what's happening in the world.
00:04:26.420 We're hopeful. We're looking forward. And that's what I did is I wrote a letter to him saying,
00:04:31.700 I want to encourage you. You have done great things for our country. I know there's much
00:04:36.960 more to do. And the purpose of my letter was just to encourage him that there are millions of people,
00:04:44.340 everyday people, who recognize what he did as president and what he's going through now.
00:04:50.380 And so this was my heartfelt way to say to him, keep going because we need you, Mr. President.
00:04:58.780 And the letter made it into the book.
00:05:02.180 I'm extremely honored.
00:05:04.380 And it is something that I think everybody should get because you see the perspective of all these people who know Donald Trump.
00:05:12.100 I've gotten to know President Trump, and he's a really kind person, and he's a really funny person.
00:05:17.700 And I think that comes through in the book.
00:05:18.980 Absolutely.
00:05:20.380 No, I think with the powers of the book, you see graciousness, class, the respect people have for him, the respect he has for people.
00:05:30.280 We're going to get into some of the stories hopefully a little bit later about things he's done for people that have never made headlines.
00:05:35.960 The book is a very – because when we talk about the great and the good of the late 20th century and early 21st century, you're even seeing a different side of them.
00:05:44.960 Absolutely.
00:05:45.740 I mean, there's a lot of individuals that love them.
00:05:48.680 All of a sudden, he announced that he's standing up for America First,
00:05:51.560 and these people forgot about him.
00:05:53.200 There's incredible letters from Oprah, and Oprah's telling him,
00:05:56.820 imagine if you and I ran for office together.
00:05:59.840 And his commentary, it's just incredible.
00:06:02.480 No one's seen his thoughts on a lot of these people.
00:06:05.160 And Ambassador Grinnell, of course, is a dear friend of all of ours.
00:06:08.240 But his letter, the president picked every one of these letters.
00:06:10.280 So the president of the thousands that were tens of thousands, he curated.
00:06:14.640 Correct.
00:06:15.080 There's about 200 in this.
00:06:16.520 There's about 200 in there.
00:06:17.380 We could have done three more volumes, but the ambassador's letter was just incredible.
00:06:22.020 I just want to read a sentence from it.
00:06:23.720 He talks about where the United States was under Trump and where we're going, and I quote,
00:06:28.440 the economy has tanked, Americans are paying incredible gas and food prices, the border
00:06:33.420 is wide open, and our friends and allies are longing for your leadership again.
00:06:37.340 We've gone from world peace to war in a very short period of time, and we just thought
00:06:41.900 the president thought that was an incredible summary in a simple letter.
00:06:46.000 So he was thrilled that the ambassador sent this letter in.
00:06:49.740 Ambassador, you represented us in Germany and now, you know, in the middle of another European war.
00:06:56.660 What was it like, you know, when you wrote that letter and thinking back,
00:07:00.500 you had been, I think, at the State Department before, then obviously at D&I.
00:07:05.780 But when you were ambassador to Germany and representing the country
00:07:09.520 and working directly for President Trump and he selected you to specifically be in Germany,
00:07:14.060 thinking about what's happening now versus then.
00:07:17.260 Can you give us your thoughts?
00:07:19.380 Well, it was an incredible honor because I worked for a visionary.
00:07:23.800 President Trump is a total visionary.
00:07:25.900 And what he envisioned for Europe was a Europe without a Russian pipeline.
00:07:33.500 He recognized that this Russian pipeline was a pipeline of influence
00:07:38.180 and an influence over Western allies in Europe.
00:07:42.740 At the same time, we had the largest economy in all of Europe, the German economy, literally not paying their NATO bills.
00:07:52.300 So when President Trump looked at Chancellor Merkel, and by the way, he was incredibly nice, but he was incredibly direct.
00:07:59.000 And when he said to Chancellor Merkel, you're feeding the beast.
00:08:02.600 You're a member of this club that's supposed to be NATO stopping Russia, but you're giving Russia more money.
00:08:09.640 And so he stood up for the American people by doing that.
00:08:13.240 And what I always say is the opposite of America first is consensus with the Europeans.
00:08:21.220 And when Merkel came to Joe Biden and said, you know, Donald Trump had these sanctions on the Russian pipeline into Germany and we would like you to drop these sanctions.
00:08:31.240 Joe Biden and the Senate Democrats did that.
00:08:33.800 And I tell everybody, listen to the floor speeches from Senate Democrats talking about why they should drop sanctions on the Russian pipeline.
00:08:42.800 They caused this war in Ukraine.
00:08:45.440 That is not an overstatement.
00:08:47.440 The weakness that they presented to Vladimir Putin, I could see Putin say, you know, let me go back in and finish the job that I started under Obama-Biden.
00:08:58.980 Now that Biden is there, I'm going to go back into Crimea.
00:09:02.800 And Chancellor Merkel, you know, she didn't say much about the grabbing of Crimea, the rewriting of borders within Europe, which is their mantra now.
00:09:13.260 So working for a visionary like Donald Trump was it was an incredible honor.
00:09:17.460 It's not always popular in the moment.
00:09:20.200 And that's the one thing that I love about President Trump.
00:09:22.500 He's not looking to be popular.
00:09:24.020 He's looking to do what's right for America to keep America safe.
00:09:28.380 Absolutely.
00:09:29.880 What I love about the book is that you've got letters,
00:09:33.000 and we'll talk about that when President Trump gets in,
00:09:34.820 they are letters of political officials and leaders coming to him
00:09:38.620 where he's been against these overextended wars for decades.
00:09:43.520 And you can see with Ambassador Grinnell
00:09:46.620 and kind of the marching orders he gave us
00:09:49.120 in the first couple of years of the administration,
00:09:51.360 let's have NATO start to pay for itself.
00:09:53.440 We want allies. We don't want a vassal state.
00:09:56.080 We don't want a protectorate.
00:09:57.240 But there are letters in here with Nixon and others that talk about his thoughts of this for the last four decades.
00:10:03.820 And the letter that you're referring to is Nixon, where the president writes back to Nixon, President Trump writes back to Nixon. 0.76
00:10:09.960 And he says, the best thing you did for us is get us out of Vietnam.
00:10:13.680 And so this is not a recent thing that President Trump wants America first and doesn't want us involved in all these endless wars. 0.68
00:10:20.340 Right.
00:10:20.680 It goes back many decades.
00:10:22.500 Right.
00:10:22.980 You see the philosophy.
00:10:24.480 Rick, Ambassador, tell me, when you found out that you had been selected in the curation process,
00:10:30.760 that this very personal letter that you sent the president was going to be in there,
00:10:34.560 tell me what were your first thoughts and feelings?
00:10:38.380 I mean, look, I'm just a kid from Michigan, and when Sergio told me that my letter was selected,
00:10:44.360 it was incredibly humbling, and I thought, why me?
00:10:47.380 You know, first of all, this president, President Trump, has given me so much to stand at the president of Germany's office in this glorious, beautiful palace and to take the oath of office as the representative of the United States to walk out and hear the national anthem playing as you're standing in Berlin, which has got all of this history with America.
00:11:13.260 I am so grateful that President Trump believed in me. I worked every single day for him. I will always work for him because when he believed in me, somebody who was just a simple American, it motivated me to say, you know what, I'm not going to let him down. I'm not going to let the American people down. And I'm not going to look to be popular. I'm going to look to keep the American people safe.
00:11:37.140 So to be selected like this in a letter with all of these others, it's just a humbling experience, and I'm incredibly grateful.
00:11:46.700 And in a way, it's a historical book.
00:11:48.560 If you think about it, people today who go to universities or to school, they read books from presidents 50 years ago, right, 100 years ago.
00:11:55.060 This is an incredible book because his commentary on everybody is in there.
00:11:59.440 And so we're thrilled that Ambassador Grinnell is in there.
00:12:02.280 Couldn't have asked for a better letter.
00:12:04.180 Ambassador Grinnell, we know it's hot.
00:12:06.120 where you are. You've got to get going. Everybody wants to know, what's your social media? How do
00:12:09.940 people track you? I'm going to Stagecoach, Steve. That's why I was going to tell you. I'm off to
00:12:15.080 Stagecoach here in the desert and it's 103. Brother, glad it's you. What's your social
00:12:23.220 media? How do people keep up with you, Ambassador? Oh, thanks. On Truth, I'm at Grinnell and on
00:12:28.840 Twitter, I'm at Richard Grinnell. On Instagram, I'm at Richard Grinnell. Thanks. Thanks, Ambassador.
00:12:35.120 Thank you, Bess.
00:12:36.200 Walk us through the genesis of the book.
00:12:39.740 Because you had, I think your first publication was the photography book.
00:12:43.100 We had an incredible book.
00:12:44.640 That was a great book.
00:12:45.160 It was called Our Journey Together.
00:12:46.200 It sold out instantly.
00:12:47.660 We ran out of paper.
00:12:48.520 Of course, under Biden, you run out of everything.
00:12:50.400 So in the United States, we ran out of paper.
00:12:51.880 Who would have guessed that we don't have enough paper to print on?
00:12:54.560 So after 300,000 copies, we ran out of paper, and it took an extra two months.
00:12:59.020 To get the same quality.
00:12:59.860 To get the same quality, to procure more of the books.
00:13:04.920 So that was our first book, incredible sales that only President Trump could have achieved.
00:13:09.480 Most of his books have been bestsellers, some of them number one.
00:13:12.920 Our journey together went to the top, unlike any other book.
00:13:16.880 The president came up with this idea because he's corresponded with all these people.
00:13:20.300 I didn't even know he had these letters.
00:13:22.100 A lot of people today don't correspond.
00:13:24.120 A lot of people don't keep these letters.
00:13:25.900 When I went to his archives in New York and we're opening up these boxes,
00:13:29.360 and all of a sudden you see an original letter from Princess Diana.
00:13:32.300 Who has that? Nobody.
00:13:33.500 so he's just an absolutely incredible individual and unmatched when it comes to this it's a
00:13:39.800 historic document it's a also fun i mean it's got culture entertainment the religious figures it's
00:13:45.640 the great and the good of the late 20th century early 21st century not only you get the letters
00:13:50.820 you get magnificent photography absolutely and you get his commentary and observations i think
00:13:55.660 i don't think there's any other book out there that would have reagan nixon and at the same time
00:14:00.100 Andrew Lloyd Webber and Michael Jackson.
00:14:01.680 Yes.
00:14:02.080 Nobody else.
00:14:02.840 Who else would?
00:14:03.940 Nobody.
00:14:04.540 Only President Trump.
00:14:05.220 Only President Trump.
00:14:05.860 It shows you also the graciousness and the class.
00:14:08.280 Absolutely.
00:14:08.780 And how highly regarded he was by people
00:14:11.500 and the things he did for people that come out in these letters.
00:14:14.900 Okay, Sergio, thank you very much.
00:14:16.440 Thanks, Steve.
00:14:16.960 We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:14:18.640 We're going to return.
00:14:19.420 We've got an entire special, Letters from Trump.
00:14:21.720 We're at historic Mar-a-Lago in the library.
00:14:24.440 We're going to return in just a moment.
00:14:30.100 We'll be right back.
00:15:00.260 Junk science. That's what the doctor called many of those fruit and vegetable supplements.
00:15:07.240 Junk science because they use extracts of common produce department fruits and vegetables with few health benefits.
00:15:16.040 Now look, I take Field of Greens because it's the whole organic fruit and vegetable, not a watered down supplement.
00:15:22.120 And it's backed by a better health promise.
00:15:26.140 Each ingredient in Field of Greens was scientifically chosen to support vital organs like heart, lungs, and kidney health.
00:15:34.000 Others support my immune system, blood pressure, metabolism, and healthy weight loss.
00:15:39.820 I don't eat as healthy as I should. I got that. I know it. I own it.
00:15:45.200 That's why I take Field of Greens.
00:15:47.540 Like me, you'll probably look and feel healthier fast and have way more energy.

00:18:01.640 My fellow Americans, this is your all-time favorite president, Donald J. Trump.
00:18:06.720 Over the last 40 years, I've corresponded with some of the most incredible people,
00:18:11.060 from presidents to kings and queens, and from Hollywood stars to business titans.
00:18:16.660 My new coffee table book, Letters to Trump, published by Winning Team Publishing,
00:18:21.400 features some of these never-before-seen letters.
00:18:24.060 You're going to love reading it. You're going to love having it.
00:18:26.660 Get your copy today at 45books.com. I think you'll really, really love it.
00:18:31.980 We're here in historic Mar-a-Lago in the library.
00:18:37.700 I'm honored to be joined by the 45th President of the United States
00:18:40.180 and soon to be the 47th President of the United States.
00:18:43.180 President Trump, thank you very much.
00:18:44.580 This book, I think, for people that know and love you,
00:18:47.960 is what people have been waiting for
00:18:49.580 because it shows you prior to you being president.
00:18:53.660 And you've got what I call the great and the good
00:18:56.260 of the late 20th century and early 21st century.
00:18:58.860 It's everywhere.
00:18:59.760 It's entertainment.
00:19:00.740 It's media.
00:19:01.560 It's sports, religious figures, and you've got, you know, their letters to you, your correspondent back, the great photography, but then the special is your commentary and observations.
00:19:14.400 How did you come up with the idea?
00:19:15.720 Why did you want to do this?
00:19:17.140 So a group of people I got to see in my office, I have stacks and stacks of letters from really famous people.
00:19:24.600 and they say very diverse
00:19:27.220 okay very diverse
00:19:28.660 like actors and
00:19:30.340 crazy people and probably
00:19:32.860 I shouldn't say this probably mobsters
00:19:34.780 and you know we had sort of everyone
00:19:36.480 yeah boxers but we had everybody
00:19:38.660 and Richard Nixon
00:19:40.740 and politicians famous politicians
00:19:42.660 and some really good ones and very personal
00:19:44.960 letters and they saw this
00:19:46.940 and they said you gotta be and they started looking
00:19:48.980 and Sergio who you just had on is terrific
00:19:51.000 fantastic he started looking at these
00:19:52.960 letters he said these letters are incredible i had two women norma who passed away but she was
00:19:59.360 with me for many years and she was a fantastic woman and she worked with a young woman named
00:20:05.240 rona rona rona griff and between the two of them they loved to save letters and every letter was
00:20:12.920 saved and preserved and beautiful and wrapped up and all of a sudden we saw these boxes full of
00:20:18.880 letters and uh sergio and his staff they went through them they said you're not going to believe
00:20:24.060 some of these letters like getting a letter from rosie o'donald who was in love i don't want to say
00:20:29.900 that in the true sense of the word love but you know she really liked me a lot whoopie goldberg
00:20:36.460 every by the way alec baldwin i mean it's the whole it's the whole it's the whole it's all
00:20:41.520 this kind of graciousness gratitude in class before but not just running for office because
00:20:47.860 We've got Cuomo. I want to talk to you about that. It's what you stood for when you ran for office.
00:20:53.000 That's what separated out. I want to go just to some of the, I think, some of the ones that
00:20:58.080 best at the beginning. Talk to me. Phantom of the Opera just closed. New York City is a very
00:21:04.520 different place today. Do you agree? Much different. You were there. There's a letter
00:21:08.180 and a couple of letters here from Andrew Lloyd Webber. Were you there opening night or close
00:21:12.500 to opening night? Opening night, yeah. Opening night. Did you know at the time, tell me about
00:21:15.880 the experience did you know that this was going to be a landmark production well nobody does you
00:21:20.440 know broadway is sit and miss they say the worst investment you can make is a broadway play because
00:21:24.940 they always fail but when you hit it's big okay when you hit it someone's bigger than hitting a
00:21:29.940 big movie in fact some people say it's bigger and uh i had a lot of respect for him he lived in
00:21:35.200 trump tower with sarah brightman they fought they fought like hell this was not made in heaven she
00:21:41.240 always wanted the windows open but it's an old last building you have to keep them closed sounds
00:21:44.880 Because the letter, your observation, she was an opera singer?
00:21:49.020 She was a singer.
00:21:49.620 She wanted it open to sing?
00:21:52.220 She wanted it for her voice.
00:21:54.460 Fresh air.
00:21:55.760 Fresh air.
00:21:56.800 She didn't want perfect air.
00:21:58.460 She wanted fresh air, but the fresh air from New York.
00:22:01.020 So, you know, she was happy.
00:22:02.560 Fifth Avenue, the cars, everything.
00:22:03.980 But it's a glass tower.
00:22:05.120 It's an all-glass tower.
00:22:06.300 We have window washers that go up, and they blast the hell out of the glass.
00:22:10.980 You're very particular about how the building's clean.
00:22:12.960 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:22:13.300 I always keep things clean.
00:22:14.500 And I like cleanliness, right?
00:22:16.520 So that's why I get sick when I look at New York and what's happened so badly.
00:22:21.040 But so we have these beautiful window washers.
00:22:23.320 They go up mechanically, and they just blast everything.
00:22:25.860 But all the windows are closed.
00:22:27.120 We say, please never have your window open.
00:22:29.640 Please, please.
00:22:30.860 But she didn't care about that.
00:22:32.280 She wanted it open for her voice.
00:22:34.380 And this window washer goes up, and every time we'd pass their apartment,
00:22:38.520 they'd have a window open, and they would just.
00:22:40.420 And they're hitting it with the high pressure.
00:22:41.840 Yeah, and she was not happy.
00:22:42.980 she'd be rehearsing
00:22:45.180 and she'd get wiped out
00:22:46.400 it got to a point I don't even think they rebuilt
00:22:48.960 or repainted because she just insisted on it
00:22:51.240 she used to complain all the time
00:22:52.820 and you know she was a very nice man but she wanted to have
00:22:55.160 outside air
00:22:56.240 and I said why don't you move into a different building
00:22:59.060 this is like we're a glass tower
00:23:01.180 a beautiful glass tower
00:23:02.220 but anyway they were married and she was a big star
00:23:05.340 she was the star of Phantom
00:23:06.480 but no it's just interest because I'm a big fan of Phantom
00:23:09.360 of the opera and others
00:23:10.320 did you know as soon as the first night you saw it
00:23:12.500 there was going to be something special.
00:23:13.600 Because you fell in love with this, particularly certain music.
00:23:16.340 So it's like politics, like anything.
00:23:18.040 You never really know, but this thing was special.
00:23:20.520 So he wrote me a letter, which I have in here,
00:23:22.940 and it's Dear Donald essentially saying, I'd love you.
00:23:26.840 This is where people love me.
00:23:27.860 I used to get invited to everything.
00:23:29.280 I was invited to that Anna Wintour thing that she does at the museum.
00:23:33.360 The Metropolitan Museum, the Super Bowl of Fashion.
00:23:36.060 The day I ran for politics, I said, has the invitation come in?
00:23:40.260 I haven't seen any, sir.
00:23:41.640 but i was i got the best table i was the king of that thing and then all of a sudden you know you
00:23:47.500 go cold turkey which is okay and it's over politics and you know all i want to do is make
00:23:52.480 america great again you know when you think about it make america great america first
00:23:55.760 why are people so opposed to that i don't even think they know why they're opposed but anyway
00:24:01.260 so i look at this beautiful letter i get from andrew lloyd weber who was big before phantom but
00:24:09.520 nothing like phantom and he did jesus christ superstar which was another great one he did a
00:24:14.260 lot of great things but he said because he lived in the building of trump tower he knew me a little
00:24:19.300 bit and he said i'd love to have you as my guest i'm opening up a musical called the phantom of
00:24:25.580 the opera and i said oh so let's go so i say you're in the letter okay i'll go and anyway we went
00:24:34.280 and it opens with the chandelier
00:24:36.640 or this. You've been there, right?
00:24:38.580 Do you agree?
00:24:39.640 First time I saw it, shocked you when the chandelier drops.
00:24:41.820 No, but the whole thing was great.
00:24:42.780 It was a great, great musical.
00:24:45.320 He said, but I'm opening a musical called Phantom of the Opera
00:24:47.600 and I'm saying to myself,
00:24:49.860 all right. Now, I get many letters
00:24:51.740 like that. I still get letters like that
00:24:53.820 except it's a little hard when they make
00:24:55.820 you put masks on and do this thing.
00:24:58.240 I mean, you know, I think Broadway, you still have to.
00:24:59.860 It's brutal. It's brutal. I mean, if you had
00:25:01.660 a Broadway theater right now, it just
00:25:03.560 is just... Well, plus the city.
00:25:05.620 What's happened to the city. Plus what's happened to the city.
00:25:07.440 Look, it just closed after, what, 40 years.
00:25:09.440 This letter is from... Writing you to
00:25:11.420 opening night, the reason I want to start with that,
00:25:13.640 it just closed last week. Yeah, no, it did.
00:25:15.720 It did. It was very sad. Because of what's
00:25:17.460 happened to the city. I think I know why it closed
00:25:19.360 beyond that, but I think it's, you know, you've got
00:25:21.440 to have a lot
00:25:23.480 of things going right, and they get so
00:25:25.300 politically correct.
00:25:27.920 But it did close, and I
00:25:29.480 would think it's very hard to open on Broadway,
00:25:31.480 have anything on Broadway. But Phantom was one of the
00:25:33.480 greatest of all so i go in and i see this music i said this thing is unbelievable it didn't take
00:25:38.200 long because the music is so good by the time we had intermission it was like i said this thing is
00:25:42.920 incredible and by the end you know with the whole thing with the gondolas and the candles and the
00:25:48.540 whole thing coming out and the great music and we play a lot of that music i mean i i go to places
00:25:54.300 when we want background music that's beautiful it's great everybody likes it but you go there
00:25:58.960 and it's opening night for one of the most successful
00:26:01.020 plays, musicals ever
00:26:02.820 I would say, maybe the most but certainly
00:26:04.920 one of the most and
00:26:06.980 it was sort of cool to see a letter where
00:26:08.760 I'm opening a show
00:26:11.240 on Broadway, it's a musical
00:26:13.260 it's called Phantom of the Opera
00:26:14.940 and it's Andrew Lloyd Webber and I said okay I'll go
00:26:16.940 and then you go and you know you think
00:26:18.960 that's a long time ago, you feel
00:26:21.120 young, I still feel very young
00:26:22.580 and I watch other people
00:26:25.220 by the way, when they talk about
00:26:27.240 biden being old he's not old i have friends that are 85 90 93 you look at bernie marcus he's 100
00:26:33.960 he's 94 95 sharp as ever biden's not old that's not his problem he's got other problems but he
00:26:39.520 doesn't have old problem but yeah i think they like to say that for other reasons you know like
00:26:44.540 to say he's got a big problem now because you've given him a nickname well yesterday was a big day
00:26:49.960 I decided that Hillary's cooked.
00:26:55.940 We can't do too much better.
00:26:57.680 You know, I always felt, I never felt the crooked Hillary was a great name.
00:27:01.920 I thought it was accurate, but it never flowed like some of the other names.
00:27:05.080 You have letters in here from Bill Clinton.
00:27:06.740 You talk about Bill Clinton.
00:27:07.920 No, I liked him.
00:27:08.780 He had a real relationship with you.
00:27:10.580 They were at my wedding.
00:27:12.020 They were at my wedding to Melania when we got married in Palm Beach.
00:27:16.040 They came, a lot of people came.
00:27:17.360 And maybe you're sort of saying, can you try and leave me out of that whole deal?
00:27:21.220 But it was a beautiful wedding.
00:27:22.660 They were there.
00:27:23.260 They couldn't have been nicer.
00:27:24.280 We had a very good relationship.
00:27:26.260 I used to play golf with Bill Clinton.
00:27:28.800 I have a club, Westchester, in Westchester, that's fantastic.
00:27:33.420 There's a great photograph in this book at Westchester with Bloomberg, Clinton, yourself, for a round.
00:27:40.040 Well, Bloomberg loved me, too, until I ran.
00:27:42.260 Bloomberg called me and said, could you do me a favor?
00:27:44.140 could you take over this golf course that's been under construction for 28 years it was a project
00:27:49.400 in the bronx right i took it over i got it done in nine months it was under construction for 29
00:27:55.940 years and he was embarrassed by it i had a very and i did a great job with it and we opened it
00:28:01.040 jack nicholas and it's a public place people public the the the maga deplorables the average
00:28:07.720 citizen to go play that course it's in the bronx i did it as sort of a favor to him i said all right
00:28:13.400 I'll do it. I said, fellas, look, you've been screwing the city for 29 years. It's time we
00:28:18.360 get this thing built. You know, they were rough guys, too. These were guys that were, even you
00:28:22.300 don't want to know them, okay? These were rough guys, but they were good. I said, let's get it
00:28:26.220 done. Let's get it done. And I got it done in a year, built a beautiful clubhouse, everything
00:28:30.700 top of the line. And then they never really appreciated it. By that time, Bloomberg was
00:28:37.580 gone. But I did it because Bloomberg asked me to do it. I had a very good relationship with
00:28:41.160 michael bloomberg but then he went crazy something happened to him and you know when he uh went away
00:28:47.980 from his policy of guns you know what he was doing with the gun stuff which basically was started by
00:28:52.800 rudy look rudy was the greatest mayor in the history of new york and the crimes i mean i don't
00:28:57.600 know how you were there you were there when when the city started to collapse i saw it all i saw
00:29:02.860 it collapse i saw it come back rudy started and you've seen it collapse again now it's collapsing
00:29:07.420 again. Now it's at a level. And the one thing that's different, we had a very powerful police
00:29:14.820 force that wasn't being utilized. Now, many of those great policemen and women have left and gone
00:29:21.940 to Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, many states, and they're leaving. And you need,
00:29:30.440 you need, and you have some great people, but they're looking to leave. They're not being
00:29:34.920 treated with respect in New York's finest. And we love them. And I love them. You know, they endorsed
00:29:40.020 me for president. They've never done that before. It was a big deal at the time. They endorsed me
00:29:44.440 for president. And it was a fantastic day that we had when they did that because it's never
00:29:49.500 happened before. They didn't even know if they were allowed to do it, but it didn't matter to
00:29:53.020 them. They gave me the most beautiful award. They had me a man of the decade, the whole thing with
00:29:57.680 the New York, New York finest. They were never treated properly and they were never allowed to
00:30:03.320 meaning over the last 10 years.
00:30:05.020 They were never allowed.
00:30:05.760 De Blasio was a disaster as a mayor.
00:30:08.420 They hated it.
00:30:09.200 Remember when he was making a speech
00:30:10.660 and the police all turned around
00:30:11.860 with their back as facing De Blasio?
00:30:14.180 He was so bad to the police.
00:30:16.580 And many of them have left.
00:30:18.320 They didn't want to come to some of the funerals.
00:30:20.080 Remember that?
00:30:20.620 They had a big controversy about the...
00:30:22.300 No, De Blasio was so bad.
00:30:25.660 It's not even thinkable how bad he was.
00:30:27.720 And it started there.
00:30:30.820 And it's just, you know...
00:30:33.060 Does that hit you especially because you're from Queens, but you went to New York and made it to Manhattan,
00:30:38.400 that what's happened to this great city that you were so much apart?
00:30:41.300 The late 20th century, starting in the 80s, you were everywhere.
00:30:45.040 And you can tell by this book.

00:31:12.240 And no, there's all types of things in here where you have done favors for people that nobody knows about.
00:31:18.740 That's one of the things about the book that's so incredible.
00:31:21.560 And you've got Sean Connery.
00:31:22.780 You've got Michael Douglas.
00:31:23.800 You've got Kirk Douglas.
00:31:24.620 You've got Oliver Stone, Jack Nicholson, Arnold Palmer.
00:31:27.680 I mean, great religious figures, thinkers.
00:31:30.060 So many interesting stories.
00:31:31.700 Arnold Palmer, you know, he's a very rich man.
00:31:35.040 IMG, the big deal, the big agency.
00:31:37.400 Mark McCormick.
00:31:37.900 Mark McCormick was a golfer.
00:31:39.860 Really started it with Palmer.
00:31:40.960 Should I tell this to you?
00:31:41.820 Tell it, yes.
00:31:42.500 So Mark McCormick went to a very good college, good golfing college,
00:31:47.360 and he wanted to be a professional golfer.
00:31:50.800 And his college, whatever it was, Duke or some college,
00:31:54.460 but they played Wake Forest, and he got to play.
00:31:57.900 He was the number one player on his team.
00:31:59.240 he got to play Arnold Palmer, who was the number one player
00:32:01.380 in Wake Forest. And Mark McCormick
00:32:03.340 was really good. He was better than a scratch
00:32:05.260 player. That's very good.
00:32:07.140 And he heard about Arnold Palmer, but
00:32:09.180 he figured he's just the best player in that team.
00:32:12.140 So they played
00:32:13.480 through nine holes, and
00:32:15.120 his friend called over in the fairway, Mark, how
00:32:17.260 are you playing? He said, I cannot play better. I'm
00:32:19.260 playing great. How are you doing? I'm
00:32:21.340 seven down.
00:32:23.400 He's seven down after nine. He said,
00:32:25.340 I can't beat this guy.
00:32:27.060 And he lost the match. It was
00:32:29.120 over if they're about 11 holes or something and he comes back 11 and 8 or whatever he realized
00:32:34.220 that he's never going to be able to beat i gotta get another line of work right no he said you
00:32:40.220 know this isn't going to work out he's longer he's stronger he putts better he chips better
00:32:45.220 there's not a thing he doesn't do much better he said i could play this guy a hundred times i could
00:32:51.280 never beat him so now he realizes you know arnold palmer then went over and he won the u.s amateur
00:32:56.020 and then he became a pro, and right from the beginning.
00:32:58.000 But, you know, he was a great guy, a very powerful guy.
00:33:00.840 Arnold Palmer is a great story because his father worked at La Trobe.
00:33:05.860 It's a golf course, a very, you know, at the time,
00:33:10.020 very sort of middle-of-the-rung golf course.
00:33:13.220 And he was a, he carried grass because he was a very powerful man.
00:33:18.340 They call him a sod carrier. Can you believe it?
00:33:20.340 He carried sod on his shoulders because he was so powerful.
00:33:24.200 And Arnold was a very powerful man.
00:33:25.800 You know, I mean, that's the way it is.
00:33:28.120 Arnold was like a blacksmith.
00:33:29.900 His arms are strong.
00:33:31.220 He was quite a man.
00:33:33.900 And Arnold would practice with his father after the club was closed,
00:33:39.840 and they couldn't afford even a golf club.
00:33:42.640 So they'd go in and use the members' club in the evening.
00:33:45.100 They'd take a members' club, and Arnold became a great golfer.
00:33:48.380 Then he won the U.S. Amateur.
00:33:49.540 He turned pro.
00:33:50.020 He immediately did well.
00:33:51.040 He bought the club, and he made his father the manager.
00:33:53.840 Isn't that great?
00:33:54.320 To me, it's like one of the great stories.
00:33:56.720 There are many great stories, but that's one of the great stories.
00:33:59.220 But Arnold was a special guy.
00:34:00.860 So Arnold was a very rich guy.
00:34:02.100 So Mark McCormick lost badly, and he realized after that he could never be a pro,
00:34:07.240 you know, because they're just much better.
00:34:08.620 That little elite group of people, there's a big difference, believe me.
00:34:12.620 I know very well.
00:34:13.740 And so what happens is he said to Arnold, Arnold, I think you're going to be a great star.
00:34:22.100 I'd like to sign you because I've always wanted to do it.
00:34:24.960 And he gave Arnold a piece of the agency, IMG.
00:34:28.100 Arnold was a very rich guy.
00:34:29.240 He owned a piece of the Golf Channel.
00:34:30.600 Everyone wanted to do it.
00:34:31.420 It was early years.
00:34:33.240 First guy really flying a jet, had his own jet.
00:34:35.380 He had his own jet.
00:34:36.480 In fact, he asked me a question.
00:34:37.660 He said to me, you know, because I became very friendly with Arnold later when he was older.
00:34:43.060 He said, you know, I bought a beautiful jet, and they all want me to finance it.
00:34:47.260 They give me all these financing options.
00:34:49.300 Should I finance it?
00:34:50.240 I said, well, do you need the money?
00:34:51.520 No, I don't.
00:34:52.140 I'd rather just pay cash.
00:34:53.240 I said, you're doing it right.
00:34:54.240 Pay cash.
00:34:54.700 You don't have to listen to these geniuses.
00:34:56.460 You don't need to borrow money.
00:34:58.000 Just, I'll never forget it.
00:35:00.340 It was like, I said, do you need the money?
00:35:02.420 No, I don't want to do that.
00:35:04.020 They want me to finance the plane.
00:35:05.460 I don't want to put debt on the plane.
00:35:07.320 I said, Arnold, do what you're doing if you don't need the money.
00:35:10.020 It was sort of funny.
00:35:10.940 But Arnold flew his own plane.
00:35:12.760 But Arnold was a great guy.
00:35:14.240 And so he became an owner of IMG.
00:35:16.620 He was one of the original owners.
00:35:18.080 I think it was just Mark and Arnold.
00:35:20.040 Arnold was the first client at IMG.
00:35:23.140 IMG became the biggest agency.
00:35:26.080 I mean, Mark McCormick did a phenomenal job.
00:35:28.600 He was very good at that.
00:35:29.620 He was better at that than he was a guy.
00:35:30.840 Isn't that the part of the agency that represented you?
00:35:34.360 They had, yeah.
00:35:35.320 Didn't they buy a merger?
00:35:35.860 I think they bought William Morris.
00:35:37.240 They did that.
00:35:37.840 But that was, you know, later.
00:35:38.880 But the initial IMG was owned by Arnold Palmer and Mark McCormick.
00:35:43.400 And Mark McCormick did a phenomenal job.
00:35:45.680 He passed away.
00:35:46.520 He died during an operation, actually.
00:35:49.280 but did a fantastic job.
00:35:51.500 Actually, Arnold Palmer passed away
00:35:52.880 during the 16th campaign.
00:35:54.340 I remember you were gracious saying
00:35:55.840 you wanted to attend the funeral,
00:35:58.760 but you realized with the intensity of the campaign
00:36:01.000 it would bring a circus to this.
00:36:02.040 Oh, I would have done that in two seconds
00:36:05.300 when I called up the family
00:36:06.460 because it was just great people.
00:36:09.320 He was married to Winnie,
00:36:11.080 totally in love with her.
00:36:12.780 It took him years to recover.
00:36:15.860 And she passed away.
00:36:16.720 And then she passed away
00:36:17.700 And then five or six years later, he met another woman who was absolutely great.
00:36:24.520 But Arnold was having a very hard time with that whole thing.
00:36:28.360 He was a great gentleman and a great man in many respects.
00:36:34.240 He did a, you know, then Jack came along.
00:36:39.080 Arnold did a great job.
00:36:40.020 And then Jack came along.
00:36:41.720 And Jack was able to beat Arnold.
00:36:43.320 You know, Jack was longer and he was younger.
00:36:45.760 Different guy.
00:36:46.780 and Jack went through a little hell
00:36:48.760 because nobody wanted him to beat Arnold.
00:36:50.880 Arnold was, you know, Arnold was Arnold
00:36:52.860 but Jack was phenomenal
00:36:55.200 and he spoke with his clubs.
00:36:56.800 You know, he didn't speak like our friends
00:36:58.660 in the world of politics.
00:36:59.900 They only speak with their mouth,
00:37:01.360 not with their brains, not with anything else.
00:37:03.280 But Jack spoke with his clubs.
00:37:05.660 He was phenomenal and Jack's another one,
00:37:07.400 a Gary player.
00:37:07.940 You meet great people,
00:37:09.220 whether it's golf or other sports,
00:37:10.580 but a lot of those people are represented.
00:37:13.300 In the book, did you realize at the time
00:37:16.480 because I'm going to talk about some of the politicians
00:37:18.560 and did they have the right stuff
00:37:19.700 did you realize the time
00:37:21.180 because if you see the letters and you see the communication
00:37:23.660 there's graciousness
00:37:26.660 gratitude, true friendship
00:37:28.520 even maybe sometimes you didn't know them that well
00:37:30.620 you'd done things for them
00:37:31.560 there's a line of demarcation
00:37:33.700 November 8th of 2016
00:37:36.660 the day you win
00:37:37.600 on that, on that, on that
00:37:39.180 what you stood for is America First and MAGA
00:37:41.540 is that the line of demarcation in your life
00:37:44.380 did many of the people that you had known
00:37:46.220 and they respected you and you had
00:37:48.180 relationships with. Did that
00:37:50.120 end because of your finally turning
00:37:52.220 to politics? You may be earlier. I think
00:37:54.040 more went the announcement rather than
00:37:56.180 the day of the victory. That was a
00:37:58.140 great victory. That was a victory
00:38:00.180 like nobody's ever seen before, let's face it.
00:38:02.120 You happened to be there in the room
00:38:03.980 sitting right next to me, so you know it better than
00:38:06.140 anybody, but was that the wildest
00:38:08.580 evening ever? Incredible.
00:38:10.160 And I think if we do it again... You've got to tell
00:38:12.020 the story about President Obama telling you
00:38:14.040 about, remember,
00:38:15.700 they keep telling him, hey, we've got a firewall
00:38:18.300 in North Carolina.
00:38:19.720 I can tell that, sir. It's a little long, but it was
00:38:22.160 we have the firewall in North Carolina.
00:38:24.660 We've got this. We're going to win Florida.
00:38:26.280 We're going to do this.
00:38:27.820 It was actually about Bill Clinton.
00:38:30.560 We'll tell that story a little, but
00:38:32.300 I think it was one of the greatest.
00:38:34.260 I think if we win in
00:38:35.380 24, I think it's going to be...
00:38:38.380 When we win in 24.
00:38:39.540 The country can't take...
00:38:41.940 I don't think it can take it.
00:38:42.860 I don't think we're going to have a country.
00:38:44.900 You know this as a businessman, right?
00:38:46.340 Yeah, I don't think, well, even as a politician,
00:38:48.900 they've weaponized, you would know this very well,
00:38:51.540 they've weaponized the Justice Department,
00:38:53.340 they've weaponized the FBI. 0.86
00:38:55.140 They're doing things that a communist country would do,
00:38:57.340 a Marxist country would do.
00:38:58.760 It's a very safe thing. 0.87
00:38:59.520 Did you ever think this country would get to that?
00:39:01.220 I never thought it would be that bad.
00:39:02.340 And you dealt with some tough people.
00:39:03.780 I said, we will never have a socialist country.
00:39:06.660 And I was right.
00:39:07.360 We skipped that station.
00:39:08.940 We went right into Marxism or communism.
00:39:12.400 What's going on is sick.
00:39:14.900 And what they do is they're unbelievable at cheating on elections.
00:39:18.820 With you, I don't have to worry about saying that because, you know, if you say that on Fox, they want to cut you out.
00:39:24.360 They cheated on elections.
00:39:25.900 Had Rupert Murdoch backed his people, he wouldn't have had any liability.
00:39:30.020 When he went out and said there was nothing wrong with this election, what a thing to say.
00:39:34.620 I mean, if you just look last week with the FBI and what happened with the FBI and Twitter,
00:39:40.840 or the FBI and Facebook where they told them what to say
00:39:44.300 and they said don't talk about the laptop
00:39:46.500 or if you look at the intelligence agents, how about that?
00:39:49.540 The 51 intelligence agents talking about Hunter Biden
00:39:53.980 and saying it was Russian to civilization.
00:39:56.820 I always think, what do you think Putin is saying
00:39:58.900 when every week they came up with another thing, Russia, Russia, Russia?
00:40:02.120 They never blamed anything on China
00:40:03.920 because they were all getting rich from China.
00:40:05.780 The one way you can tell he's illegitimate
00:40:07.700 is the lack of respect
00:40:09.780 that they have for him throughout the world.
00:40:11.900 We went to Saudi Arabia.
00:40:15.020 I mean, the military's out.
00:40:16.740 The thing, if they go, he's in an SUV with a fist bump.
00:40:19.840 The mullahs don't respect him. 0.67
00:40:21.440 The KGB in Moscow doesn't affect him.
00:40:23.100 She, who's right here for the historic summit.
00:40:26.680 No respect for him.
00:40:27.440 Spent three days here.
00:40:28.440 We developed a great relationship.
00:40:31.020 Now, once COVID came, it was like, you know,
00:40:32.780 that was a step too far.
00:40:35.340 I mean, that cost the world
00:40:36.380 millions of lives
00:40:38.220 and about
00:40:39.320 $60 trillion, so
00:40:41.880 nobody can ever pay for that, the lives
00:40:44.280 and $60 trillion, but they'll pay something.
00:40:46.480 They'll pay something. 0.87
00:40:48.080 Would you demand reparations from China 0.60
00:40:50.420 in a second term?
00:40:51.700 There's no such thing as $60 trillion. 1.00
00:40:53.760 You could add 20 Chinas. 1.00
00:40:55.880 But they cost the world, I figured it cost $60 trillion
00:40:58.640 worldwide
00:41:00.040 and millions and millions
00:41:02.540 of lives.
00:41:03.920 What came out of the Wuhan lab, you remember,
00:41:05.760 I was the first one to say, I said, it came from the Wuhan lab.
00:41:08.180 Everyone said, what's the Wuhan lab?
00:41:09.960 And I never veered from that.
00:41:11.240 I never veered from anything.
00:41:12.160 The last week of January in 2020, for the first time in American history,
00:41:15.580 you stopped travel from China and also put them in quarantine. 0.71
00:41:18.500 That's right.
00:41:18.820 Remember, you had the huge fight.
00:41:20.400 Fauci and the guys in the National Security Council.
00:41:22.920 They didn't want to do that.
00:41:23.520 Didn't want to do it.
00:41:24.260 Remember, they said it doesn't make any difference.
00:41:25.980 Is there any doubt in your mind that, and when I get back to the book,
00:41:30.480 was there any doubt in your mind given the role you were on in 19,
00:41:33.920 where the economy was?
00:41:34.920 No inflation, blue-collar workers, non-college graduates getting 10% and 11%, pay increases, no inflation.
00:41:42.720 What nobody gives you credit for, too, is the quantitative tightening.
00:41:47.640 You've got 3% growth.
00:41:49.080 You had a tax thing. 1.00
00:41:50.140 And Janet Yellen, she's taken almost a trillion dollars off the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve. 0.95
00:41:55.320 Not quantitative easing, what Biden has done, which juices the system.
00:41:58.960 You put another headwind in to make sure that there wasn't going to be asset inflation.
00:42:02.900 in 19. Is there any doubt in your mind
00:42:06.020 whether they purposely released
00:42:08.120 or inadvertently came from the lab
00:42:09.600 that the CCP
00:42:11.780 the Chinese Communist Party and Xi
00:42:13.260 wanted to do to make sure that Donald Trump
00:42:15.960 was not re-elected president. Well there's always
00:42:17.860 a little doubt. You can't just say definitely.
00:42:19.820 A lot of people think that was true because I was
00:42:21.840 charging them hundreds of billions
00:42:24.100 of dollars in taxes and tariffs.
00:42:26.200 In a phase one deal.
00:42:27.360 Remember the first deal you had
00:42:29.740 the seven things they had the deal
00:42:31.940 and then they go back and say,
00:42:32.840 upon further review, we can't do that.
00:42:34.940 Oh, he's right.
00:42:35.960 Exactly.
00:42:36.200 Line taxes deal.
00:42:36.900 They said, no, no, no, we can't.
00:42:38.560 We were getting ready for it closing.
00:42:40.940 That would have saved the world's economy.
00:42:42.460 But I got a lot of it done later on.
00:42:45.720 And actually, the individual deals,
00:42:47.560 like, for instance, I got a trade deal done
00:42:49.080 for the farmers and for the manufacturers.
00:42:51.660 That's why.
00:42:52.480 I just had a poll out of Iowa.
00:42:54.120 We're doing so great.
00:42:55.020 I gave the farmers $28 billion.
00:42:57.460 Steve, I gave $28 billion.
00:43:00.020 In fact, I said about a month ago,
00:43:01.460 they were saying about, will it be close in Iowa?
00:43:05.620 And I said, it's not going to be close in Iowa.
00:43:07.460 I gave the farmers, so it's Iowa, Nebraska, the whole farm belt,
00:43:11.400 I gave the farmers $28 billion.
00:43:13.900 I asked my secretary of agriculture, Sonny Perdue, good guy,
00:43:17.860 I said, Sonny, how much would, because what they did to, 0.78
00:43:21.020 you know, what China did to the farmers,
00:43:22.380 they tried to put them out of business because of me,
00:43:24.640 because I was saying, this is what we're doing with the tariffs.
00:43:27.980 The farmers were so unbelievable the way they stuck with me
00:43:31.520 because we had to go through a period of time before we made,
00:43:33.740 and that trade deal was unbelievable.
00:43:35.880 I gave the farmers $28 billion.
00:43:37.740 You know what that is?
00:43:38.480 Divided among all these farmers, they got checks.
00:43:41.200 They got a check in the mail.
00:43:42.420 They couldn't believe it.
00:43:44.320 I said, nobody's going to beat me with the farmers because nobody.
00:43:46.400 And they gave them a tax.
00:43:47.160 They didn't have to sell the farm when they passed it to the kids.
00:43:49.620 Didn't have to sell the farm to the kids.
00:43:51.060 The farmers' kids were getting wiped out.
00:43:53.260 I'm one of the great backers of the American farmer,
00:43:57.260 particularly the small American farmer,
00:43:58.560 not just the big agrarian farmer.
00:43:59.940 Maybe even more so the small farmer,
00:44:01.740 but they were losing their farms
00:44:03.640 because the father would die,
00:44:05.640 the parents would die,
00:44:06.880 they'd leave it to their kids who they loved.
00:44:08.620 I said, if you don't leave their kids,
00:44:10.860 then it's not going to help you that much
00:44:11.940 because who cares?
00:44:12.680 You're going to be dead.
00:44:13.760 Who cares?
00:44:14.500 But if you love your children,
00:44:16.480 I'm your best friend ever.
00:44:17.960 They have no tax to pay when they sell their farm.
00:44:19.920 They had no, because the estate tax
00:44:22.380 or the death tax, as we call it sometimes.
00:44:24.440 But the estate tax was so onerous, it was so bad.
00:44:27.040 So they die, and they leave their farm,
00:44:29.660 and they'd assess the farm.
00:44:31.000 Because, you know, farms have value,
00:44:33.200 but they don't have necessarily a lot of cash.
00:44:35.620 So all of a sudden, these kids have to go to banks,
00:44:37.860 and they mortgage up their farm.
00:44:39.080 They put a 70% mortgage on, and within two, three years...
00:44:42.060 And at these interest rates, you're dead.
00:44:43.580 They were dead.
00:44:44.260 And now you have the interest rates again.
00:44:46.760 You have the interest rates again.
00:44:48.760 They want to raise taxes.
00:44:50.060 They want to double your taxes.
00:44:52.180 Look, between borders, and we can talk about the border,
00:44:55.380 but think of it, between borders.
00:44:57.040 But there's also people who don't get.
00:44:59.000 The tariffs, you went after Xi and said,
00:45:01.400 hey, we're going to bring back American manufacturing 0.62
00:45:03.440 and take care of American citizens.
00:45:05.180 People don't realize you also use tariffs
00:45:07.080 to help secure the border.
00:45:08.840 100%.
00:45:09.320 If Mexico started getting, you know... 0.65
00:45:11.840 Well, they would have never done it.
00:45:13.140 I said to the president of Mexico, who I really like,
00:45:15.780 I have to tell you, he's great.
00:45:16.880 You know, he wouldn't, I don't think to this day
00:45:18.680 he's even acknowledged, he said,
00:45:20.440 that election was a rigged election.
00:45:22.660 He said it happened to him 10 years before.
00:45:25.000 And he's a socialist, but you know what?
00:45:27.280 He's a terrific guy.
00:45:28.580 But I said, listen, we're building a wall,
00:45:31.300 and we built, I built hundreds of miles of walls.
00:45:33.800 That was my first hint that what they wanted to do 1.00
00:45:37.020 was let people pour into our country, 1.00
00:45:38.540 from prisons, from mental institutions, 1.00
00:45:41.080 what they have allowed.
00:45:42.300 Only the best.
00:45:43.540 Only the best, only the best.
00:45:44.960 Insane Asylum. 0.95
00:45:45.800 You know, Insane Asylum, that's silence of the lamb type, okay? 0.71
00:45:48.720 We have them all.
00:45:50.440 And their mental institutions are practically emptied out.
00:45:55.600 Their prisons are emptied out.
00:45:57.300 MS-13, I took them out by the tens of thousands.
00:46:01.120 And now what they've done is they've sent them back in.
00:46:03.660 And we have MS-13, a level that we never had before.
00:46:06.640 I got them out of here.
00:46:07.900 Out of Long Island.
00:46:08.860 I mean, not on the border.
00:46:09.900 I mean, they're all over the country.
00:46:10.820 They killed two young school children, two young 16-year-old girls going to school.
00:46:15.400 and they knifed them and they carved them out with a knife
00:46:18.420 because a gun was too fast and too easy.
00:46:22.060 They carved them up.
00:46:22.980 These are two young girls going to school.
00:46:25.400 You have to see the parents.
00:46:27.040 They'll never be, they'll never survive.
00:46:29.660 We had Biggs on the show.
00:46:30.560 There's 700,000.
00:46:31.780 We've got a team on the border right now, Real America Voice.
00:46:33.900 There's 700,000 to a million.
00:46:36.340 This is Biggs saying the Border Patrol right now
00:46:38.720 that when Title 42 goes away, right,
00:46:41.480 and you implemented Title 42.
00:46:42.780 When Title 42, because you didn't want the country flooded,
00:46:45.400 with with people that potentially were affected when title 42 they're going to come in and these
00:46:49.380 are people that are very sick they have all sorts of diseases not only you know i mean you hear about
00:46:54.800 covid covid's like you're lucky if you have covid by comparison to these other things
00:46:58.980 and i set it up so that title 42 we need it because they're going to come in they're going
00:47:03.680 to infect our population with sickness and i said it and we weren't allowing very many people in at
00:47:09.420 all especially during covid and now they're ending it and even the judge the judge was
00:47:13.680 very good in many ways but he said listen uh in about two weeks you know it's going to happen in
00:47:18.880 a couple of weeks hundreds of thousands of people immediately are going to pour into our country
00:47:25.300 and the number is going to be steve at the end of this year in my opinion real number because you
00:47:29.940 know they only talk about the people that they see which is ridiculous because most of the people
00:47:33.960 come in you know they're not seen the number is going to be uh 15 million people by the end of
00:47:40.520 15 million, not three or four.
00:47:42.500 You know, you hear three million, four million.
00:47:44.140 It's going to be 15 million people by the end of the year.
00:47:46.480 That's bigger than New York State.
00:47:49.160 And these people are coming in from their prisons and their mental institutions.
00:47:53.820 And it's not just Guatemala and Honduras.
00:47:58.200 It's not just Mexico.
00:48:00.680 These people are coming from all over the world, from Asia, from Africa.
00:48:05.880 We have people coming. 0.69
00:48:06.900 Haiti is, like, emptying out. 1.00
00:48:08.480 There is going to be no Haiti. 0.99
00:48:09.960 Somebody's going to end up buying all of Haiti. 0.99
00:48:12.100 You're not going to have any people there.
00:48:13.740 They're going to say, what a nice piece of land this is.
00:48:16.900 Everyone from Haiti is moving into the United States of America.
00:48:20.520 The people are coming in from all over the world
00:48:23.360 at levels that nobody's ever seen.
00:48:25.300 Steve, I had the strongest border in the history of this country.
00:48:28.480 And now we have the worst border.
00:48:29.540 And I say it's the worst border in the history of the world
00:48:32.760 because no, and I say this during speeches, 0.97
00:48:35.520 no third world country would allow this to happen to them
00:48:39.280 what's happening to us, and they'd fight them
00:48:41.140 with sticks and stones if they had to.
00:48:43.140 There's never been a border like what we have
00:48:45.260 right now. And don't forget, that's not only people.
00:48:47.660 That's drugs. It's human
00:48:49.200 trafficking. I had drugs
00:48:51.160 down to a level that we haven't seen in a long
00:48:53.300 time. Drugs now are
00:48:55.060 ten times worse than they were three years
00:48:57.260 ago. Ten times. Human trafficking,
00:48:59.580 which is mostly women. 0.99
00:49:01.200 Women. And young girls. 0.95
00:49:03.920 Yeah, women and young girls. 1.00
00:49:06.000 But women, young girls.
00:49:07.880 Not men.
00:49:09.280 And it's not even children, for the most part. 0.67
00:49:11.560 It's women.
00:49:12.800 Human trafficking, I had it to the lowest level they've ever seen, ever recorded, the lowest level. 0.89
00:49:18.300 I mean, one is too many, but we had it down to the lowest level.
00:49:20.960 We had a really strong border.
00:49:22.300 Given the policies you had in place and given we understood that the Mexicans feared you putting in tariffs
00:49:29.200 and given the fact, remember, they sent the Mexican Marines off everything you asked for,
00:49:33.400 is this just by happenstance, or do you believe that Biden, Mayorkas, Merrick Garland
00:49:38.700 have thought through a way to exacerbate and maximize
00:49:42.640 understanding that you'll return to the White House,
00:49:45.340 what's going to happen in the four years he's here,
00:49:47.380 to get to...
00:49:48.360 When you talk about 15 million people, it's unheard.
00:49:50.320 I mean, in Hungary and places they're fighting,
00:49:52.180 and it's a couple of hundred thousand. 0.88
00:49:53.700 Hungary, they won't allow anybody,
00:49:55.320 other than they do allow Ukrainians to come in. 0.99
00:49:57.620 You know, he's done a very good job, Viktor Orban.
00:50:00.360 He's a fantastic man.
00:50:01.860 But he had a strong...
00:50:03.080 Oh, he was strong. 1.00
00:50:04.540 But he does allow Ukrainians to come in, 1.00
00:50:06.540 and they'll probably someday move out, 1.00
00:50:08.360 or they'll keep them.
00:50:09.560 I mean, they'll be fine.
00:50:11.040 No, when I look at some of the,
00:50:12.960 you know, I used to go like,
00:50:13.960 I just started this about a month ago.
00:50:15.340 I used to call it, everything's April Fool's Day. 0.80
00:50:17.680 We don't want voter ID. 0.94
00:50:19.920 That's April Fool's Day.
00:50:20.800 Who doesn't want voter ID?
00:50:22.060 They don't want because they want to cheat.
00:50:23.640 It's April Fool's Day because it's so ridiculous.
00:50:25.340 No, it's April Fool's.
00:50:26.860 You know, April Fool's is the opposite.
00:50:28.960 We don't want to have a strong border
00:50:30.380 because we want millions of people 0.99
00:50:32.440 to come in from mental institutions and from jails.
00:50:35.320 It's April Fool's, right?
00:50:36.580 We want to have a weak military.
00:50:38.360 April Fools. We want to have high interest rates and high taxes. It's April Fools. Everything's the
00:50:44.340 opposite of what it should be. We don't want to be energy independent. We want to spend, instead of
00:50:48.420 $1.87 a gallon, we want to spend $9 a gallon. We want to go to all electric cars that go for two
00:50:54.780 hours, and then you get stuck in the middle of a road, and there's nobody. You might as well forget
00:50:59.560 the car. How do you get it? And, I mean, look at California. They want to go all electric, but they
00:51:04.900 have brownouts because they don't have enough electric. And don't forget, it takes energy
00:51:09.360 and it takes what we have under our feet. It takes liquid gold to make everything so
00:51:15.140 the electric can work. And we're playing right into the hands of China because they 0.99
00:51:19.460 have all of the minerals, all of the everything to make the batteries. And we have none of 0.90
00:51:23.900 it. We have none of it. It's either in China, which they have very valuable land for that.
00:51:27.900 You know, we have oil and gas, but they have minerals that we don't have.
00:51:32.900 The rare earths and access to the rare earths.
00:51:34.500 Oh, they are in love with what's happening.
00:51:36.340 They can't believe we're stupid.
00:51:38.400 I don't think anybody can be that stupid.
00:51:39.960 Look, Biden got millions of dollars from China.
00:51:43.340 I mean, why would anybody do this?
00:51:46.140 And people don't want to have all electric.
00:51:47.960 You know, right now, electric cars are like 3%, 4% of the market.
00:51:51.360 And if somebody wants to buy an electric car, they should.
00:51:54.000 But if somebody wants to buy a car with 12 cylinders,
00:51:56.720 they should be allowed to buy the car and use gasoline.
00:52:01.000 use gasoline you should be able to buy everything or you should buy a hybrid you should buy maybe
00:52:05.980 a combination of both and it was going well now they want all electric the problem is during the
00:52:12.140 summers in california and other states they have brownouts they can't produce enough electricity
00:52:17.060 and they never will be able to run an industrial society on this theory of net carbon zero and
00:52:23.260 wind and solar you know there's the wind is it's the environmental lunatics and they are putting
00:52:28.800 our country out of business. And you say to yourself, is it on purpose? Are they bad people
00:52:35.280 or are they stupid? They can only be two things. They can only be people that want to destroy our
00:52:39.560 country or they're stupid people. Do you think they're stupid people? I think actually they
00:52:43.560 can't be because they cheat so well. You know, you can't be stupid when you cheat like they did in
00:52:49.440 2020. Okay. They cheated at a level that nobody's ever cheated before. They use COVID to cheat.
00:52:55.700 big time okay they use covid to cheat with all these mail-in ballots let me know no signature
00:53:00.460 verification if they don't get rid of mail-in ballots even jimmy carter he had a commission
00:53:04.600 and he said you got to get rid of mail-in ballots you can never have mail-in ballots in
00:53:08.560 many countries like in france they just why can't we go to that system paper ballots game
00:53:13.720 the republicans have to fight i'll give you an example we have we have enough to get this done
00:53:18.160 i don't know that's look the one thing uh the democrats have horrible policy but they stick
00:53:23.340 together, and they
00:53:25.380 cheat. The Republicans don't want to cheat.
00:53:27.860 I said to a man in Pennsylvania,
00:53:29.900 I love Pennsylvania, I did great.
00:53:31.300 I was up by almost 900,000
00:53:33.440 votes. All of a sudden, I was
00:53:35.400 even. I said, what happened? And you see
00:53:37.260 the chart, and then there was a dump.
00:53:39.680 Big dump. I mean,
00:53:41.400 it was amazing. I was at 73%.
00:53:43.780 I think we were up by 700,
00:53:45.520 800. That was like 900,000
00:53:47.320 votes. We were up by numbers.
00:53:49.460 I said, why don't they call it? And all
00:53:51.360 of a sudden, there's a dump.
00:53:53.340 There were many dumps early in the morning, you know.
00:53:56.960 The level of cheating was incredible.
00:53:59.800 You really say, you know, look at all these investigations going on.
00:54:03.800 And they're always investigating the people that want to look at why there was cheating.
00:54:08.480 They don't investigate the cheaters.
00:54:10.480 Why aren't they investigating the people that cheated in the election,
00:54:13.280 not the people that want to see, like, truth to vote, where they have millions of votes.
00:54:19.760 Truth to vote, yes.
00:54:19.780 Truth to vote is incredible.
00:54:20.700 Dome in prison.
00:54:21.200 Those people, yeah.
00:54:22.400 Dome in a Texas prison.
00:54:23.220 They found millions of votes that were stuffed, ballot stuffing.
00:54:27.740 That's old-fashioned stuff, ballot stuffing. 0.98
00:54:29.820 And the Chinese have the server with all the names on it, et cetera. 1.00
00:54:33.480 It's too absurd. 1.00
00:54:34.180 It's all on tape.
00:54:34.900 In this book, you have Cuomo, Ted Kennedy, others you knew for years, the century letters.
00:54:40.940 Knowing how tough the job is, Cuomo never ran.
00:54:46.080 Kennedy kind of ran in a half-hearted primary against Carter and Loss.
00:54:49.860 Do you think they had the right stuff to actually be president of the United States?
00:54:54.760 Well, it takes guts to run.
00:54:56.340 It took guts for me.
00:54:58.240 It's not easy to run, you know.
00:55:00.540 If you knew the day, standing at the top of the escalator,
00:55:04.920 if you knew what was going to happen to your personal life of the relentless assault,
00:55:10.220 the legal, the trying to put you into bankruptcy,
00:55:11.940 trying to put your children into bankruptcy,
00:55:13.100 the attacks on your family, your business, your friends, everything.
00:55:17.300 Bedminster was going to host
00:55:19.940 the PGA. Turnberry bought
00:55:21.740 a turnaround to be in the Open Championship
00:55:24.000 Rota. Everything on every
00:55:25.720 aspect of your life that you cherish,
00:55:27.880 if you knew standing at the top
00:55:29.680 of that escalator, that that
00:55:31.740 is what is going to be installed. Everything in this
00:55:33.840 book, I'm walking away
00:55:35.860 from. Not just walking away from, it's going to be
00:55:37.680 a hard... Walking away from a wonderful
00:55:39.820 beautiful life. I have
00:55:41.720 all of these incredible properties
00:55:43.740 that I don't even get to see now.
00:55:45.800 You know, I'm going to Scotland next week to look at properties.
00:55:48.180 I haven't seen it.
00:55:48.700 I have Turnberry.
00:55:49.520 I own Turnberry.
00:55:50.440 I own Aberdeen.
00:55:52.340 I own Doonbeg in Ireland.
00:55:53.820 On the oil ocean, I said that.
00:55:55.180 And there's a very special letter in here from Sean Connery.
00:55:57.860 Oh, he's great.
00:55:59.340 That's what I want to talk to you.
00:56:00.260 You're going to Ireland and Scotland last week.
00:56:01.620 Sean Connery has this letter in there that says, I guess,
00:56:05.360 assisted you in the toughest times to get that beautiful piece of property
00:56:08.520 turned to a great links course.
00:56:10.120 But just to answer the question that you were about to ask me,
00:56:13.260 would I do it again?
00:56:14.120 Is that what you were going to say?
00:56:15.140 Would you know then, would you have even done it then?
00:56:19.360 Would you have even done it then?
00:56:20.500 I would have, look, very few people get this opportunity.
00:56:26.200 Mike Bloomberg spent $2.5 billion.
00:56:28.160 He never got past the first question in the debate.
00:56:30.440 When he debated, that was a big decision for him.
00:56:32.500 That was a big, bad decision. 1.00
00:56:34.840 Pocahontas asked him a question. 1.00
00:56:36.160 It was such a bad question.
00:56:37.940 Everyone thought it was about me, but then he says,
00:56:40.060 and I'm not talking about President Trump, I'm talking about you.
00:56:42.900 And he stood there, he says, oh, my God.
00:56:44.380 and that was the end of his campaign had he kept spending a hundred million dollars a week
00:56:48.960 on advertising he might have been the nominee and you know who knows what would have happened okay
00:56:52.800 but the but that's not the reason the reason is we really we're going to make this country great
00:56:59.120 we're going to do this we're going to get it going and it'll be bigger the second time if we do it
00:57:04.460 because we'll be able to show how bad the policies are if i did the normal like look we won the
00:57:10.500 election. We won it by a lot. I got many,
00:57:12.600 I got millions, almost 12 million
00:57:14.280 more votes a second time. I say
00:57:16.480 that. 74 millions. Somebody from the New York Times
00:57:18.540 said. We did a pretty good job in 16, but
00:57:20.220 74 million, it's
00:57:22.340 amazing. See, I was told that if I
00:57:24.480 get the same 63 million votes as I
00:57:26.500 got the first time, I can't lose.
00:57:28.420 We got 12 million more votes.
00:57:30.280 We did better. You know, somebody from 1.00
00:57:32.420 the Times is interviewing me early
00:57:34.380 on and they said, what went wrong?
00:57:36.520 I said, what went wrong? I got 12 million more votes
00:57:38.480 than I did the first time. I was told
00:57:40.220 by McLaughlin and all your friends
00:57:42.260 that Fabrizio,
00:57:44.320 everybody said it. Remember Obama.
00:57:45.720 Obama could even match
00:57:48.200 his first time. He didn't match.
00:57:49.960 He got less the second time. So 12 million more votes.
00:57:52.400 I got millions more votes than
00:57:54.140 Obama got. Many, I don't know what the number is.
00:57:56.440 Many, many millions more votes.
00:57:58.640 And we lost.
00:58:00.320 We didn't lose. It was a rigged
00:58:02.300 election, but it's one of those things.
00:58:04.180 Now, what we have to say
00:58:05.320 is that
00:58:07.920 we learn from that. We can't let anything
00:58:10.140 like that happen again. They did use COVID and COVID was, you know, everyone said, oh,
00:58:14.600 everything has to be by these phony mail-in ballots. And again, Jimmy Carter said, you
00:58:19.660 can't do it. But just to get to your question, the answer is absolutely do it again. Even
00:58:23.760 if I knew exactly, even today, I have these fake phony investigations going on. You know,
00:58:28.860 I had it with Russia, Russia, Russia. That was a hoax. As soon as we found out, as soon
00:58:33.400 as I won that one, about two weeks later, I had Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, right? I
00:58:38.480 I had a perfect phone call with Zelensky, and I got impeached over an absolutely perfect
00:58:43.300 phone call. 1.00
00:58:44.360 I'd do it again.
00:58:45.360 I'd do it again because we did, I rebuilt the military, got the largest tax cuts in history,
00:58:50.520 had the greatest employees.
00:58:51.520 We had 164 million people.
00:58:54.760 I was saying 161, that was 164 million people working.
00:58:59.560 We never had anything like that.
00:59:01.060 The answer is absolutely.
00:59:02.060 Now, I don't know how it's all going to turn out.
00:59:04.900 If we win the election, we can turn this country around and make it really, really great again.
00:59:10.140 And the good thing is, Steve, we'll be able to do things that we probably couldn't have done
00:59:14.020 because we've seen how bad their policies are.
00:59:17.700 And we'll be able to do things, including running the cities.
00:59:22.020 Our cities are crime-ridden nests.
00:59:26.060 You can't walk down a street and buy a loaf of bread.
00:59:29.100 If you send your kid, the kid is going to be shot and killed.
00:59:32.580 The whole world is watching this.
00:59:34.240 You know, when we talk about democracy in America, Russia, you take a look, China, they're looking at kids getting shot all over the place.
00:59:43.660 They're looking or knifed or stabbed or beaten up.
00:59:46.680 You can't go down in Atlanta, where you have this young lady looking at me over another perfect phone call.
00:59:52.280 In fact, this call was more perfect than the one I made to Zelensky in Ukraine.
00:59:58.600 Atlanta is per capita the most dangerous city in our country.
01:00:02.000 If people go out to buy their parents a loaf of bread...
01:00:05.240 Buckhead is trying to separate himself.
01:00:06.580 Well, they should have been able to, but they stopped that.
01:00:08.960 I mean, they stopped it.
01:00:09.800 They should have been able to.
01:00:10.580 They want to have their own security.
01:00:12.500 But the district attorney who's after me doesn't prosecute murderers.
01:00:16.660 They don't prosecute anything.
01:00:18.380 People are dying in prisons from bedbugs.
01:00:20.880 You saw that where the guy was eaten alive by bedbugs.
01:00:24.200 Nobody's...
01:00:25.320 They're not doing anything having to do with murder.
01:00:27.580 Same thing in New York.
01:00:28.920 The D.A. Bragg, who went after me
01:00:30.820 and is being soundly criticized
01:00:32.700 because I did nothing wrong.
01:00:33.980 In fact, if you read the so-called indictment,
01:00:36.740 we did nothing wrong.
01:00:38.560 People are saying, you look at Greg Jarrett,
01:00:41.680 you look at Andy McCarthy,
01:00:43.720 you look at any one of them,
01:00:45.900 Mike Davis, any one of them,
01:00:47.200 you take a look at them,
01:00:49.000 these are, nobody on my side,
01:00:51.460 but what they say is,
01:00:52.400 this is the worst indictment I've ever seen.
01:00:53.560 So knowing all that.
01:00:55.140 I mean, Jonathan Turley wrote one the other day,
01:00:57.160 which was unbelievable.
01:00:58.380 It's a joke.
01:00:59.660 They didn't even list the charges at the press conference.
01:01:02.180 There's no crime.
01:01:03.220 They're saying, but there's no crime.
01:01:04.580 Nobody's ever, even Democrats are saying, this is horrible, but have the same thing going on in Georgia.
01:01:09.580 Over a perfect phone call, many lawyers on the other side, I'm talking to them, and everybody was fine.
01:01:16.700 Nobody said.
01:01:17.440 Then all of a sudden, a long time later, Trump made a phone call.
01:01:21.440 You know, this is phony stuff.
01:01:22.980 Nobody objected.
01:01:23.880 In other words, with all these lawyers on the other side, nobody said, well, wait a minute, sir, you said something.
01:01:28.380 that's out of bounds, you have to change that, you have to, nobody said that, nobody hung up,
01:01:33.640 nobody was, you know, indignant, and yet they're looking at me over a phone call that I made 0.60
01:01:38.980 that was absolutely perfect, more perfect than the Ukrainian phone call, one of those things,
01:01:44.380 look, I would absolutely do it again, I think we're going to win in 24, and I think it'll be 1.00
01:01:49.080 the biggest thing ever to happen for our country, because we're going to turn it around,
01:01:52.880 we're going to make America great again, we're going to put America first, I did tremendous
01:01:57.620 trade deals. They've now allowed some of these trade deals to go bad. You know, we're losing
01:02:03.080 over a trillion dollars now on trade. I renegotiated China, Japan, South Korea. So many, I mean,
01:02:10.900 so many with India. The level, I'd actually look at some of these deals and go, who made
01:02:19.680 these deals? The people that made them. It's hard to believe just on that basis that this
01:02:25.080 country would have survived. Plus you're underwriting, we're
01:02:27.060 underwriting their defense. That was your thing about
01:02:29.040 NATO. And whether it's Western Europe, the
01:02:31.080 Gulf, the Straits of Malacca,
01:02:33.160 the South China Sea,
01:02:34.600 we're underwriting the entire military
01:02:36.880 coverage. The European Union
01:02:38.680 is almost as bad as China
01:02:40.880 in terms of the way they treat us on trade.
01:02:43.160 You and I know this stuff and
01:02:44.680 we smile because it's almost like you're punch
01:02:46.820 drunk. You know, you see so much
01:02:48.720 it's like hard to believe. The European 1.00
01:02:50.700 Union is brutal. I said to
01:02:52.860 Angela Merkel, Angela, how many
01:02:54.940 Chevrolets do you have in the middle of
01:02:56.900 Berlin? Why, none. 1.00
01:02:59.680 I said, of course. How many Mercedes
01:03:01.260 Benzes and all the other ones do we have?
01:03:04.420 We're taking
01:03:05.080 millions of cars. They don't take
01:03:07.180 our cars. And I did big numbers
01:03:09.280 in them. I did numbers like nobody's ever
01:03:11.180 done on them before. I mean, what I was doing to them.
01:03:13.640 And it was like easy.
01:03:15.440 Macron is a great guy. He's a
01:03:16.920 wise guy and all that stuff. But you'd like
01:03:19.260 him. But he's representing his 1.00
01:03:21.200 country. He was going to tax.
01:03:23.120 he was going to tax our American companies massively for doing business in France I heard
01:03:29.720 about it I said you can't do that I put our people in your friend Mnuchin who's you know I know you're
01:03:33.780 not a big fan of his but I said here's what you do you tell Macron he can't do that they come back
01:03:40.020 two weeks later sir we can't make a deal I said oh can't make a deal why can't you make a deal
01:03:44.800 he won't do it he just won't do it I said that's okay I give you another couple of days go ahead
01:03:50.100 They come back, they can't make a deal.
01:03:51.520 So I said, let me do it.
01:03:52.600 Watch.
01:03:53.280 I called Macron and I said, Emmanuel, how are you?
01:03:56.040 I hope everything's well in France.
01:03:57.500 You're a wonderful man.
01:03:58.500 Congratulations on your immigration policies.
01:04:00.960 I think they're going to really do well.
01:04:02.900 You're doing just great.
01:04:04.380 You know, people are being knifed left and right in Paris.
01:04:07.540 Congratulations.
01:04:08.280 I said, Emmanuel, here's the story.
01:04:10.660 You're putting a big tax on our people that want to go to France, okay?
01:04:14.620 And you're not even doing it with other countries.
01:04:16.420 So that means you obviously think the United States is stupid.
01:04:19.040 And in the past, we were super, but here's the story, Emmanuel.
01:04:22.300 If that tax isn't removed within 24 hours, we are going to tax at 100% every bottle of wine and champagne sent over from France.
01:04:31.180 And they sent a lot.
01:04:33.000 Sent over from France 100%.
01:04:34.900 No, no, no, you cannot do that.
01:04:36.480 I said, of course I can.
01:04:37.600 It goes into effect tonight at 5 o'clock.
01:04:40.440 I've already signed the legislation.
01:04:42.500 I can do it myself.
01:04:43.380 I don't need, thank God, I don't need Congress.
01:04:45.660 100% tariff on every bottle of champagne and wine,
01:04:49.460 and we're going to make a fortune over and above the tax that you're charging.
01:04:53.340 No, no, no. May I call you back? He's called me back.
01:04:56.260 I will be 15 minutes. He calls me back in three minutes.
01:04:59.120 You have a deal. We're dropping the tax.
01:05:01.260 Now, that's one of many things I did.
01:05:04.080 I did it with Mexico, and I really like, by the way, I like Macron.
01:05:08.300 They're doing their own thing. They're doing it for their country.
01:05:10.620 As they should be.
01:05:11.460 I don't mind that. But with Mexico, I said, Mr. President, I want 28,000 Mexican soldiers along our border guarding our border because you're sending in. 0.98
01:05:23.580 He laughed. He said, you must be kidding. I said, no, no, I want him. And I want him free of charge.
01:05:28.320 He sent his top guy to New York. And at the time I was in New York, I met with them.
01:05:33.560 And the head of the State Department who handles Mexico, who's a good woman, she was there for 22 years or something.
01:05:39.420 She laughed at me.
01:05:40.260 She said, sir, you'll never get that.
01:05:41.480 We've been trying to get things like stay in Mexico,
01:05:43.920 a little thing like remain in Mexico.
01:05:46.200 What does that mean?
01:05:46.840 That means you remain in Mexico. 1.00
01:05:48.580 You don't come in. 0.75
01:05:49.860 You don't wait in Seattle. 1.00
01:05:51.120 Yeah, so you remain in Mexico.
01:05:52.960 They were in Tijuana.
01:05:53.920 Tijuana had so many people, nobody ever. 1.00
01:05:56.100 So remain in Mexico.
01:05:57.580 But I said, I won $28,000.
01:05:59.860 No, no, no, no, you cannot get that, the head guy.
01:06:03.600 So we're negotiating. 0.68
01:06:04.560 And I said to the woman, let's make it just a small dollar bet.
01:06:07.160 I don't want to be like Romney with his $10,000 bet.
01:06:09.940 You know, remember that fiasco?
01:06:11.840 This guy is the worst.
01:06:13.560 But I'll make you a $10,000 bet.
01:06:15.340 The people are watching.
01:06:16.260 They said, that's too much to bet.
01:06:17.940 Just $1.
01:06:18.780 They said, I'll make you a $1 bet.
01:06:20.320 I get it.
01:06:20.800 Sir, you won't get any of it.
01:06:21.840 I asked for 10 things that were brutal, including our little thing that you mentioned on 42.
01:06:27.020 Right.
01:06:27.560 Because that was very important.
01:06:28.720 But I said to him, here's the story. 0.92
01:06:31.680 If you don't give us the soldiers and keep people out of our country until we allow them to come in, 0.99
01:06:35.900 I'm going to put a 25% tax 1.00
01:06:38.920 on all cars 1.00
01:06:40.280 and everything else that comes in from Mexico
01:06:42.560 he said
01:06:44.300 may I see you in 10 minutes
01:06:46.980 I'd like to make a phone call
01:06:48.280 I mean he was calling the president
01:06:49.280 comes back in 10 minutes and says you have a deal
01:06:51.560 so I didn't tax him
01:06:52.960 we got 28,000 soldiers for nothing
01:06:55.860 and these are very good soldiers
01:06:57.260 these are Pancho Villa
01:06:59.420 with the bullets on their chest
01:07:00.620 they don't have
01:07:02.220 our people they don't let them be soldiers
01:07:05.420 They say if you touch somebody, you get court-martialed and perhaps executed.
01:07:10.720 You're not allowed to speak rough.
01:07:12.920 How about our generals?
01:07:13.880 What do you think Patton would do?
01:07:15.100 Patton would not be allowed to be a general today because he was too rough to the soldiers.
01:07:19.740 Or Blackjack Pershing down on the Mexican border.
01:07:21.560 Oh, yeah, Pershing.
01:07:22.280 Yeah, Pershing.
01:07:22.860 You're right.
01:07:23.880 He had the border under control.
01:07:25.420 He had the border under control.
01:07:28.040 Expedition.
01:07:28.700 I hope your people are enjoying this.
01:07:30.740 I want to make sure we don't keep you too long because you've been so gracious.
01:07:34.060 this book
01:07:35.580 shows a side of you
01:07:38.580 that I think people forgot
01:07:40.280 because this is the Donald Trump
01:07:42.380 that America first met
01:07:43.400 and now you're under assault from everywhere
01:07:46.460 total assault
01:07:47.200 because we're winning in the polls
01:07:49.420 if I wasn't up 40, 50
01:07:51.780 the polls are 62, 16
01:07:53.800 well De Sanctis is failing badly
01:07:57.020 Ron De Sanctimonious
01:07:58.880 I mean you know it's always bad
01:08:00.720 you endorse somebody he's dead
01:08:02.180 he's he's over his political career he's going to be looking for a job he'll be lucky to get a job
01:08:06.860 comes to me begs me for a endorsement I give it to him he ends up winning the election
01:08:11.620 winning the nomination winning the election by numbers that you wouldn't believe I mean he was
01:08:15.820 so far down he was gone and then they shout to him a couple of years later will you run against
01:08:21.560 the president I have no comment now no comment means the answer is yes right but today a very
01:08:26.560 interesting thing happened he said he's going to form a committee he's going to form exploratory
01:08:31.200 exploratory committee to determine
01:08:33.820 well that's a big step because he was
01:08:35.840 never looking at committees, now he's looking at committees
01:08:37.780 it's amazing what being 40 down does
01:08:40.060 but this is the
01:08:41.620 consultants and donors
01:08:44.200 in back of hell, this is the guy that's going to make
01:08:46.000 35 or 40 minutes, but the donors are largely leaving him
01:08:47.920 now, you know, in fact I will tell you
01:08:50.020 off the record, off the record except for
01:08:52.020 the millions of people that watch your show
01:08:53.540 because your show is great
01:08:55.460 I mean your show, a war room
01:08:58.200 this guy's a warrior
01:08:59.580 It's our audience.
01:09:01.760 Whether they like him or not, it doesn't basically make any difference.
01:09:05.200 But he is a warrior.
01:09:06.240 There aren't too many.
01:09:07.180 But what's happening is the donors are calling me right now
01:09:09.460 because the donors follow the pulse.
01:09:11.760 And when they see a guy getting clobbered, but think of it,
01:09:14.300 he was a lousy politician because before he met me,
01:09:18.080 before I gave him the endorsement, he was at three.
01:09:22.560 Two things fundamentally changed yesterday, I think, in New Hampshire.
01:09:25.640 One, you turned the guns
01:09:28.700 onto Joe Biden
01:09:30.280 Also, the DNC
01:09:32.900 came out, and they're coming out with spots
01:09:34.580 that are going after your policies
01:09:36.620 That's a big tell
01:09:37.880 Because they know all this other nonsense
01:09:40.500 is not going to get any traction
01:09:41.640 The country's collapsing, the border's invaded
01:09:44.820 and so they're going to say, now, let's go after
01:09:46.640 If we have to have this as a policy
01:09:49.160 debate, you win
01:09:50.640 I mean a landslide
01:09:51.660 They're afraid
01:09:53.160 They have the worst policy
01:09:55.100 ever in history of any country.
01:09:58.200 This whole thing, they became environmental maniacs.
01:10:00.840 I want clean air, I want clean water,
01:10:02.500 I want clean everything.
01:10:03.660 I'm like an environmentalist in many ways.
01:10:05.980 What they're doing with destroying our land
01:10:08.580 with the windmills, destroying the whales
01:10:11.080 washing up on shore, 0.97
01:10:13.220 they're all purchased in China, you know that.
01:10:15.220 They're made in China, and Germany to an extent,
01:10:17.040 but mostly in China.
01:10:18.460 What they're doing to our country is so unbelievable. 1.00
01:10:21.980 Here we have more gas and oil in our ground state.
01:10:25.740 Your policy was not independent.
01:10:27.500 It was full-spectrum energy dominance.
01:10:29.600 100%.
01:10:30.100 In every area.
01:10:31.460 By the way, if it's going to be wind and solar, fine.
01:10:33.540 I'm not going to totally solar.
01:10:34.100 Including we want to make the windmills here.
01:10:36.040 If we're going to have wind, we're going to make them here.
01:10:38.000 And I said, we're going to do wind.
01:10:40.280 And I was getting ready to put, until COVID came in,
01:10:43.240 I was going to put a 50% tariff on windmills coming in.
01:10:46.540 Because if we do that, we're going to make the windmills here.
01:10:49.220 You know, that's what they do.
01:10:50.220 They put these massive tariffs on.
01:10:53.820 They're a mercantilist system.
01:10:55.700 Is Joe Biden, let's leave his cognitive ability aside.
01:10:58.580 Given the complexity of making decisions in a modern economy,
01:11:02.260 the trade-offs you had to do on tax, on trade, tariffs, employment, immigration, all of it,
01:11:09.420 is he at the top of his game?
01:11:11.600 Top of his game?
01:11:12.760 No, when he was even at the top of his game, was he smart enough to understand how all these pieces fit together?
01:11:18.780 Not at the top of his game.
01:11:19.920 In other words, you go back 30 years ago, look at all the mistakes he made.
01:11:23.600 The Secretary of State said he made the biggest mistakes.
01:11:26.820 He was never right on foreign policy.
01:11:29.040 I was right on foreign policy.
01:11:29.900 Everything I said was right. 1.00
01:11:31.260 I said, Germany, don't do the pipeline. 0.50
01:11:32.920 The letters, Nixon talking to you about when you thanked him in the letter here in the book,
01:11:38.660 and he said, thank you for getting us out of Vietnam.
01:11:41.700 This was a letter from 30 or 40 years ago.
01:11:43.880 But you have been against, like, the Iraq War, the Vietnam War,
01:11:48.080 all of these international expeditions that got us in so much trouble.
01:11:51.860 Well, it's peace through strength.
01:11:53.580 I rebuilt our military.
01:11:55.000 Our military was obsolete.
01:11:56.440 It was terrible.
01:11:57.080 I rebuilt it.
01:11:57.700 I mean, we gave $85 billion to Afghanistan, if you can believe it.
01:12:01.060 Do you know that Afghanistan is the second biggest arms dealer in the world right now?
01:12:06.400 They're selling because they don't need 70,000 trucks, many of which are armor-plated.
01:12:11.340 You know, some of these trucks cost $2 million, by the way.
01:12:13.880 They have armor this thick on the bottom.
01:12:16.480 They are selling, they have 700,000 guns and weapons of that type, guns, machine guns, the AK-47.
01:12:26.700 They have thousands and thousands.
01:12:29.580 They don't know what to do with them.
01:12:30.660 They have night goggles.
01:12:31.980 They're the best.
01:12:32.440 You know, they were not night fighters because you can't see at night, right?
01:12:35.920 You know, they were great fighters.
01:12:37.120 They were great fighters.
01:12:38.180 Not for us.
01:12:38.940 They were great fighters for themselves.
01:12:40.760 The Afghans are very good fighters, actually.
01:12:42.600 But now they have night goggles, brand new, out of the box.
01:12:46.560 They have tanks, they have planes, they have helicopters.
01:12:49.180 They've already given a lot of them to Russia and to China
01:12:53.180 because we had the greatest helicopters in the world, fighting machines, okay?
01:12:58.120 The Cobras, the fighting machines.
01:13:00.860 Russia has one, China has one. 0.90
01:13:03.000 They're taking them apart. 0.99
01:13:04.240 They're going to duplicate them and maybe make them a little bit better,
01:13:07.000 jack them up a little bit.
01:13:08.540 It's unbelievable. 0.94
01:13:10.060 We were getting ready to get out of Afghanistan.
01:13:12.080 You know, I got it down to 2,500 soldiers, but we were going to keep Bagram, this massive
01:13:18.140 Air Force base that cost billions to build many years ago, because it was not because
01:13:23.160 of Afghanistan, because it was one hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons, 0.78
01:13:27.080 and we were going to get out with tremendous, I mean, tremendous power and strength, and
01:13:32.180 I spoke to Abdul, and you've heard me say it.
01:13:34.100 Yes.
01:13:34.700 Abdul was the leader.
01:13:35.740 I said, Abdul, you're killing up people.
01:13:37.920 You're not going to do that anymore, are you?
01:13:39.360 He said, Your Excellency, but why, but why do you send me a picture of my home?
01:13:44.040 He said that to me.
01:13:45.060 He said, a picture of his house, very lovely house, nice beige house, very, very nice.
01:13:50.040 I said, you'll have to figure that out.
01:13:51.840 I guess a picture of his house.
01:13:53.680 But he's now still the leader.
01:13:55.560 I got along with him fine.
01:13:56.720 I said, if you kill any of us, because they were shooting, the snipers were killing a lot of our people,
01:14:02.400 and especially under Obama.
01:14:04.360 I said, if you do anything, if you kill any of our soldiers,
01:14:06.920 We're going to hit you harder than any country has ever been hit.
01:14:09.720 I'm telling you, don't do it.
01:14:11.020 You're excellent.
01:14:11.560 He called me Your Excellency.
01:14:12.540 I wonder if he calls Biden that.
01:14:13.660 He may, he might not.
01:14:14.920 Well, Biden would never speak to him.
01:14:16.740 He's too sharp for Biden anyway.
01:14:18.120 Biden wouldn't know what's happening.
01:14:19.800 But I said, Abdul, you know, these are smart people, Steve. 0.65
01:14:22.380 And when I say that, the media goes, he said the head of the Taliban is smart.
01:14:27.860 He said, they asked me about President Xi.
01:14:30.760 I said, no, he's at the top of his game.
01:14:32.240 He's a brilliant guy, controls 1.4 billion people.
01:14:35.720 And really controls him.
01:14:36.760 And then if I say, they're very smart.
01:14:39.440 He's a very smart man.
01:14:40.320 The press goes, he called him smart.
01:14:43.560 Do you understand?
01:14:44.220 Yeah, he's smart.
01:14:45.620 They're at the top of their game.
01:14:47.660 You look at all of them.
01:14:48.960 Like we mentioned Macron.
01:14:50.900 You mentioned Pickham.
01:14:52.160 But you had the Mullahs in Persia, the KGB in Moscow.
01:14:56.060 None of them would go on offense against you.
01:15:00.480 Why was that?
01:15:00.920 We were going to have a deal with Iran where Iran was dying to make a deal.
01:15:06.180 I told China, if you buy oil from Iran, because China was a big, I said, because we're going to, you know, they were making money, a lot of money. 0.85
01:15:13.840 I said, you buy oil from Iran, we're going cold turkey, we're not going to buy anything from China.
01:15:18.520 And they make $500 billion from us a year. 0.82
01:15:22.640 They didn't buy anything.
01:15:24.520 They were so afraid of it.
01:15:26.220 We have tremendous power against China, but we don't know how to use it.
01:15:29.840 But if we keep going the way it is, we're going to lose that power because we're going to lose the economic edge.
01:15:34.600 You know, they want to knock out our currency.
01:15:36.380 They don't want the dollar to reign.
01:15:37.780 They want to have the yuan reign.
01:15:39.660 And if you look, Brazil, Colombia, Russia, China, whenever they want,
01:15:45.000 Argentina, many of the countries.
01:15:47.160 And if we lose the dollar as a standard, as the standard,
01:15:52.200 that will be worse than losing a big war.
01:15:56.060 Can you turn that around?
01:15:58.060 I've got to let you go because I know you've got so much to do here.
01:16:00.280 We're so honored to have you here in the book.
01:16:02.140 I'm honored to be here.
01:16:02.920 you, for instance, on the economy
01:16:05.220 and the dollar, because people said
01:16:07.040 it would never happen, and you see how quickly
01:16:09.120 it's happening.
01:16:10.660 Can you turn this around?
01:16:12.740 It's going to happen if somebody else, if I don't get in,
01:16:15.120 in my opinion, it's going to happen.
01:16:16.780 I can turn it around so fast,
01:16:18.840 because all these countries are ripping
01:16:20.880 us off. The only thing good about being
01:16:23.000 ripped off is you have a lot of power off
01:16:24.940 with them. And I say, listen, you're
01:16:26.920 ripping us off. You start using
01:16:28.920 the wand, and we're never buying your wine
01:16:31.080 I know you're champagne.
01:16:32.060 We're never buying your lettuce. 0.98
01:16:33.560 And we're never buying your cards, Germany. 0.72
01:16:35.580 And we're going to put a... 0.92
01:16:36.820 I could get it back in one month.
01:16:40.400 I could get Ukraine and Russia settled in 24 hours.
01:16:46.080 24 hours. I know them both.
01:16:47.660 Don't forget, I had a very good relationship with Putin.
01:16:51.580 He would have never gone into vice president.
01:16:53.540 In a million years.
01:16:54.420 And even the Democrats, they did a poll the other day,
01:16:56.280 94% say if Trump was president,
01:16:58.800 you wouldn't have that horrible catastrophe.
01:17:00.560 And so many people are being killed, many more than they report.
01:17:04.080 When they blow up a city, Steve, and you see all those big buildings,
01:17:07.800 and then they say two people were injured, it's much worse than anybody understands.
01:17:13.240 I would have that settled in 24 hours.
01:17:15.720 It would be 24 hours it would be settled.
01:17:17.980 You need the power of that Oval Office to get it done.
01:17:20.880 You need that.
01:17:21.960 But that will be settled in 24 hours.
01:17:25.540 Remember, Zelensky, with the perfect phone call,
01:17:28.600 They said, were you intimidated by Trump?
01:17:30.860 No, no, not at all.
01:17:32.020 He was fine.
01:17:32.660 He was great.
01:17:33.460 You know, he was very good.
01:17:34.400 He could have said, I was intimidated.
01:17:36.760 You know, it would have been sort of cool for him to say for his own reason.
01:17:39.760 So I respect him for that because he didn't say that.
01:17:42.520 I will have Zelensky and Putin. 0.70
01:17:45.040 I would have a deal done in less than 24 hours. 0.95
01:17:48.460 That's an easy one.
01:17:50.460 Mr. President, thank you so much.
01:17:51.800 Thank you.
01:17:52.140 For spending this time.
01:17:52.860 By the way, this book says, the book right there, Letters from Trump.
