The Great America Show - PRES. TRUMP & LOU

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and this is The Great America Show. Welcome and great

00:00:07.580 to have you with us. In just moments, we'll be talking with the 45th president of the

00:00:12.040 United States, President Donald J. Trump. And we're now less than a year and a half

00:00:16.700 away from the 2024 presidential election. 477 days to be exact, and that date is fast

00:00:24.500 approaching. The Republican Party has 11 declared candidates for the 2024 nomination with only one

00:00:31.720 clear frontrunner, and of course, that is Donald Trump. The man in a very distant second place is

00:00:38.300 Governor Ron DeSantis. He's failed from the inception of his campaign to really get it going. NBC is

00:00:44.960 reporting that DeSantis has fired roughly a dozen campaign staffers this week and is looking to cut

00:00:51.120 cost and to change his political fate by changing his campaign strategy. We'll see.

00:00:58.600 DeSantis is the chosen candidate of Fox News and the Murdochs, as reported, but they are

00:01:03.820 apparently getting a little disturbed by his failure to launch. Reports are they're looking

00:01:08.820 for a new 2024 candidate to back. And things aren't going much better for puppet President Joe Biden.

00:01:15.960 Biden arrived back at the White House last night after spending the weekend at Camp David.

00:01:20.640 taking his 356th vacation day since he took office. That's almost 40 percent of his presidency

00:01:28.920 on vacation. Or to put it another way, Biden has been on vacation for almost a year

00:01:35.600 of the two and a half years he's been president. And now it's time for our special guest here today

00:01:42.180 on The Great America Show to take up many of the issues that face the nation. A man who was always

00:01:48.100 on the job as president. He is the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Mr. President,

00:01:54.820 welcome. Great of you to be with us here on The Great America Show. The Marxist Dems persecution of

00:02:01.160 you is now in its eighth year and you're crushing the Republican field of candidates for the nomination.

00:02:07.520 33 percent ahead of your closest rival. Big, big numbers.

00:02:12.180 Well, we've had some great numbers. We've had the best polling numbers, Lou, we've had in a long time

00:02:17.260 and we had some good ones all along. So it's been it's a great it's a great honor. We're I guess one

00:02:23.640 is 33 up. One is 42 up. We have one that came out at 52 up with all those people running. And

00:02:30.680 Rhonda Sanctimonious is really hitting the skids. He has not proven to be a good candidate, which I had a

00:02:35.740 feeling that he wouldn't actually. But a very disloyal person. But, you know, we have to save

00:02:42.320 our country. There's never been anything like what's happening to our country. Lou, you know it

00:02:46.400 better than anybody, frankly. I listen to you for years and you're at the top of the game. And I'll

00:02:53.280 tell you what, there has never been a time where our country is in more danger or so incompetently run.

00:02:59.400 Well, Mr. President, thank you for those kind words. And let me say that this has been a decline

00:03:05.000 that I don't think many people could have expected accelerating through the first two and a half

00:03:10.880 years of the Biden presidency. The the the commitment recently to Ukraine again, Biden adding to the

00:03:20.460 overall the billions of dollars now agreeing to send long range missiles, cluster bombs, bringing up

00:03:27.400 3,000 military reservists for the eastern flank of Europe. Your reaction to these latest developments

00:03:34.900 following the summit in in Lithuania? And this is millions of people pour through our border. So we

00:03:44.160 have people pouring through our border that are prisoners and people from mental institutions and

00:03:49.240 terrorists and everybody coming from many countries, many, not just the four countries that we consider our 1.00

00:03:55.320 neighbors, many, many countries and all over the world. They're emptying out their prisons into our country and

00:04:01.320 we send thousands of people over. The other thing is Europe. You take a look at the European Union, you have

00:04:08.460 them spending 20 billion dollars, maybe. And we're up to about 180 billion dollars, close to 200 billion dollars.

00:04:17.820 Now we have our incompetent. He's grossly incompetent, as you know, and as everybody knows. But they're just I guess they're

00:04:24.440 just playing games. But we have this very incompetent man wanting to get into World War three with nuclear weapons because

00:04:32.040 that's what's happening here. At some point, the dam is going to break. But to send 3,000 troops on top of everything else.

00:04:40.660 And, you know, I do ask this, Lou, and you've asked this question many times. Why is it the European Union or Europe?

00:04:47.360 Why are they? It certainly affects them more than us. Why are they catching up? Why aren't they putting up their 200 billion dollars?

00:04:53.820 How come we're so far advanced in terms of money spent and in terms of everything else that we're giving?

00:05:00.120 And it's a very unfair situation. Very, very bad. And it's a war that should have never happened.

00:05:04.580 This would have never happened if the election weren't rigged.

00:05:07.720 This would have never, ever happened. Not in a million years. And China wouldn't be talking about Taiwan either, Lou, as you know, very well.

00:05:14.980 The election of 2020 having profound consequences. And as you mentioned, China, China bellicose. 0.99

00:05:23.420 She making all sorts of threats about Taiwan, threatening the United States directly, insinuating its power into the Caribbean, 0.67

00:05:33.040 to Central America, South America, without any response whatsoever from this administration.

00:05:39.420 Well, the Cuba thing is beyond, I mean, anything that anybody would have thought even possible that they do. 0.95

00:05:46.860 They used to respect our country and they're, you know, the president of our country very greatly.

00:05:52.740 And as you know, I took in hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes and tariffs from China and gave $28 billion to the farmers.

00:06:02.620 But they had respect for us. Tremendous respect.

00:06:05.240 They didn't treat us like they treat these people, the way they lecture us and tell us they laugh at our people, our representatives.

00:06:12.160 But in particular, they laugh at our president. They can't even believe what's happening to them.

00:06:16.640 And obviously, there's got to be something that they have, because how a man can be so – I mean, how does a man allow China to move their military to Cuba?

00:06:29.060 And, you know, the Cuban Americans that are all over Miami and all over Florida and other places,

00:06:34.260 they better get used to the fact that with the Biden and with the Democrats, they're never going to see their island again.

00:06:40.060 They're never going to be seeing Cuba again, because Cuba essentially is being taken over by the Chinese, 90 miles off our coast, by the way. 0.98

00:06:48.020 And they're building all sorts of military installations. And nobody even talks about it. Nobody.

00:06:54.460 The press doesn't talk about it. The press is so corrupt.

00:06:58.580 And I mean, it's just – who would believe that we could be in a position like this on top of Afghanistan, 0.99

00:07:03.860 that horrible, most embarrassing time in the history of our country.

00:07:08.520 We surrendered. And they kept $85 billion worth of the best equipment in the world, tanks and planes and everything else.

00:07:15.820 And they take – they killed our soldiers. You look – I mean, you had 13 soldiers die,

00:07:21.500 and nobody ever talks about all of the many, many soldiers that have been so horrifically wounded with legs and arms and everything else.

00:07:28.400 It's really sad. And to watch what's happening – you know, I don't know if you know,

00:07:32.940 Afghanistan now is one of the top arms merchants in the world.

00:07:37.160 They're selling the 700,000 guns that we left them and rifles and everything else, the best.

00:07:43.880 70,000 vehicles, many of them armor-plated.

00:07:47.480 They're becoming – they became a major arms dealer with – because they don't need that.

00:07:51.800 They just need 5% of what we gave them.

00:07:54.660 And so it's a terrible thing that's happening to our country, just a terrible thing.

00:07:58.780 There's no respect whatsoever for our leadership, and they are just taking advantage of the United States.

00:08:04.440 This would not have happened with Trump as your president, as you know.

00:08:07.900 And it didn't happen.

00:08:09.360 And it did not happen.

00:08:11.000 We're talking with the 45th president of the United States, President Donald Trump.

00:08:15.180 We will continue our discussion in just one moment.

00:08:18.800 We'll be right back.

00:08:24.660 We're talking with the 45th president of the United States and the leading Republican candidate for the Republican nomination for 2024,

00:08:34.600 none other than Donald J. Trump.

00:08:38.080 Mr. President, let's turn to politics a bit here.

00:08:41.600 And that is, as you watch what is happening with the White House, trying – the Secret Service, they're telling everyone that they're going to conduct a two-week investigation.

00:08:51.900 If they don't have a suspect, that there will be no further inquiry.

00:08:57.080 I haven't heard many – any, frankly, statements from the bureaucracy that arrogant and that just mind-boggling in its logic.

00:09:08.540 So, obviously, I know the area very well.

00:09:12.020 It's very close to probably the most important room anywhere in the world, the Situation Room.

00:09:17.140 If you think about it, Lou, I was saying it the other day.

00:09:19.600 I think it's the most important room in the world.

00:09:21.780 War is determined. 0.61

00:09:22.980 And what missiles you're using, is nuclear necessary, you know, et cetera, et cetera.

00:09:28.420 This is a Situation Room loaded up with cameras from every corner, obviously.

00:09:34.980 I mean, how could you not have?

00:09:36.240 It's the Situation Room, right?

00:09:38.580 They know who it was.

00:09:40.020 And it's very, very shocking to see what's going on.

00:09:43.120 The way they're defending this family, the way they're defending them is just outrageous.

00:09:47.960 And nobody gets defended as a conservative, as a Republican.

00:09:51.920 They go after people like a bunch of wild animals.

00:09:55.260 That's what they are.

00:09:56.080 They're a bunch of wild animals.

00:09:57.440 But to think that the Situation Room, which is just cameras all over the place, that they aren't able to find the person that brought it, probably to be picked up by somebody else.

00:10:09.620 And there are those people that think they know who that somebody else is.

00:10:13.060 And maybe they just forgot about the pickup or something happened, just like they forgot about a laptop.

00:10:19.360 They forgot to pick that up, even though they warned many times, come pick it up.

00:10:23.020 It's a very, very sad thing for our country.

00:10:26.540 And I think it made everybody.

00:10:28.280 You know, I deal with the Secret Service.

00:10:29.660 These are incredible people, smart, tough, love the country.

00:10:33.880 And I really think that they are very embarrassed.

00:10:36.300 I don't know why they're not involved in finding the person, because I think they probably know who the person is.

00:10:43.120 The fact of the matter is that this administration has expanded U.S. involvement internationally.

00:10:50.280 We are stretched thin.

00:10:52.460 The recruiting goals are 25 percent short, and some say even larger than what the military is admitting to.

00:11:00.260 And we are watching some of our most experienced and talented officers and non-coms and enlisted men and women leave the military.

00:11:09.220 We're in a crisis for our military.

00:11:13.120 Well, we have a crisis.

00:11:14.860 And how about a president that talks about openly, we don't have any ammunition?

00:11:19.740 Do you think China likes hearing that and Russia and everybody else out there?

00:11:23.220 When he said that, this was before I heard anything about it.

00:11:26.800 He was criticized, but not nearly as much as he should have been.

00:11:31.060 But he says we don't have the ammunition.

00:11:33.180 And yet we're selling and sending.

00:11:35.200 We're not selling.

00:11:35.840 We're giving all of this stuff to Ukraine.

00:11:38.720 You know, I gave them the javelins initially.

00:11:40.600 And that was something that really protected them.

00:11:43.440 And they used it well.

00:11:44.520 And they knocked out the tanks.

00:11:45.920 These are the anti-tank busters.

00:11:48.240 And, you know, I was the one that did that.

00:11:50.560 Obama gave linens.

00:11:51.740 They say he gave sheets and I gave javelins.

00:11:54.640 And, you know, then they say Trump was close to Russia.

00:11:57.700 I'm the one that ended their pipeline.

00:11:59.880 Nobody ever heard of Nord Stream 2 until I came along.

00:12:02.700 Nord Stream 2.

00:12:03.340 So it's it's very, very scary what's happening.

00:12:07.720 Look, as I said, this is the most dangerous time in the history of our country because of the power of the weaponry. 0.96

00:12:15.840 We have a man who's grossly incompetent and also corrupt as hell in the White House. 0.97

00:12:22.340 And he's compromised. 0.99

00:12:24.020 China has given their family millions of dollars and they know everything.

00:12:28.660 And they have, you know, whether it's at the Penn Center, it looks like they get a tremendous amount of money from that where they keep documents, by the way.

00:12:36.540 And they keep documents in Chinatown.

00:12:38.600 And you don't ever hear about his documents.

00:12:40.260 I'm covered with the Presidential Records Act.

00:12:42.420 He's not because he wasn't president.

00:12:45.000 And it's a much different standard.

00:12:46.580 And he keeps documents in Chinatown, Chinatown, Washington, D.C.

00:12:53.020 And I mean, it's not even believable.

00:12:55.520 And you don't ever hear anything about it.

00:12:57.080 There's no leaks.

00:12:57.840 There's no anything.

00:12:58.620 It's just probably there's no investigation.

00:13:01.120 And by the way, they probably have 20 times, 30 times the number of documents that we're talking about.

00:13:06.940 And I was allowed to do it under the Presidential Records Act and also the Clinton Sox case.

00:13:12.220 You got to read this because it's a disgrace that they're even doing this.

00:13:16.000 But you don't hear anything about Biden.

00:13:18.920 He kept documents, classified documents, under the wheels of his Corvette in a garage where you could have cut the door open with paper scissors.

00:13:27.280 So it's very sad to see what's happening with our country.

00:13:31.760 The Justice Department or the Injustice Department, as we call it, is literally weaponized.

00:13:38.660 It's weaponized against a political candidate that's leading.

00:13:42.900 Think of it, a political candidate that's leading Biden by many points and also leading the Republicans by many points.

00:13:51.180 And they've weaponized it.

00:13:52.660 Nobody thought it was possible over nonsense.

00:13:54.680 It is an extraordinary comparison, as you point out.

00:14:00.300 What do you say to the fact the Department of Justice and the FBI spent nearly $9 million investigating you in the so-called documents case

00:14:09.340 and only about a half a million dollars in pursuing the case against Joe Biden during basically the same time period?

00:14:20.880 It's quite a breathtaking difference, isn't it?

00:14:24.940 With 20 times the number of documents.

00:14:27.440 Don't forget, 1,850 boxes of documents are at the, I guess it's University of Delaware.

00:14:34.860 And they don't want anybody to go in there.

00:14:38.400 They've precluded people from going in.

00:14:40.960 Now maybe they'll have no choice but to open it up.

00:14:43.500 Some of those documents are classified were taken out when he was a senator, which is you can't do that.

00:14:48.300 As president, again, you're covered with the Presidential Records Act, 100%.

00:14:52.500 But he took him out as senator.

00:14:54.340 Even guys like Dick Durbin, a Democrat senator, wise guy.

00:14:57.760 But a Democrat senator, he was shocked when he heard this happen, probably taken from a skiff a long time ago.

00:15:04.800 And you don't hear anything about it.

00:15:06.720 And they've spent, I guess now the number is $11 million, but that's as of a couple of months ago.

00:15:12.320 So that number would be like $20 million, $25 million.

00:15:15.720 And don't forget, you have to do one other thing.

00:15:17.860 You have to add to that the Mueller report where they spent $48 million and all of the other nonsense.

00:15:24.020 They probably spent hundreds of millions of dollars on trying to get me.

00:15:28.920 These are longtime fascists and Marxists and communists in our country.

00:15:35.160 And we've got to win in 24 or we're going to lose our country.

00:15:39.800 Well, there are four investigating committees in the House of Representatives working hard to bring truth to the fore in the D.C. swamp.

00:15:48.420 We'll be taking that up with President Donald Trump.

00:15:50.940 We're talking with Mr. Trump here on The Great America Show.

00:15:54.420 Stay with us.

00:15:55.040 We'll be right back.

00:16:02.040 We're back with President Donald Trump.

00:16:04.480 How much thought have you given to your running mate?

00:16:06.880 Would you take a running mate from the field of candidates running against you for the nomination?

00:16:12.900 Well, I think we have some very good ones and I think we have some very bad ones.

00:16:17.160 And I wouldn't do all of them by any means.

00:16:19.120 But certainly we have some very good ones and we have some great people in the wings of the Republican Party.

00:16:26.340 We have some fantastic people in the Republican Party.

00:16:29.860 And, you know, the good thing is when I came down, I was never a Washington guy.

00:16:33.900 I spent 17 days in Washington.

00:16:35.780 I never stayed over.

00:16:36.500 In my entire life, I never stayed over.

00:16:38.340 And so really it was new.

00:16:40.780 All of a sudden I'm president.

00:16:41.800 I'm standing in the White House opposite the Lincoln bedroom.

00:16:45.200 I say, this is amazing.

00:16:46.180 But that was not my society.

00:16:48.400 I was a New York person and, you know, traveled around the country and even the world.

00:16:53.200 But I was not really a Washington person at all.

00:16:56.660 And I didn't know the people.

00:16:58.600 I had to rely on.

00:16:59.520 And we had some great people.

00:17:00.820 I mean, you know, when you look at what we did, we rebuilt the military.

00:17:03.240 We cut the taxes by the most in history, regulations by most in history, all the things we did.

00:17:09.020 We did so many things, built the wall.

00:17:11.100 We had the safest border in history.

00:17:13.100 We were energy independent.

00:17:14.740 We're going to be energy dominant very soon.

00:17:17.180 The things we did were incredible.

00:17:19.080 We've defeated ISIS.

00:17:20.780 ISIS, they said you can't do it.

00:17:22.440 And we ended up defeating 100 percent of the ISIS caliphate.

00:17:26.700 All of these things we did.

00:17:27.860 But I had to rely on people to give me recommendations.

00:17:31.820 And some were good and some were not good. 0.97

00:17:34.600 Like Bill Barr was a coward and others were either cowards or, you know, just didn't do a good job. 0.97

00:17:40.440 But mostly a lot of them did. 0.98

00:17:42.520 And, you know, we're lucky because we rebuilt the military when we did all these things.

00:17:47.760 Now, when we rebuilt the military, we had a lot of ammunition.

00:17:50.540 They've given that ammunition away.

00:17:52.040 We don't have ammunition now.

00:17:53.600 But we did a lot of great things.

00:17:55.240 But I didn't know people in Washington.

00:17:58.140 I had to rely on others to give me names.

00:17:59.880 And, again, some were good and some were bad.

00:18:02.020 The fact is that I know everybody now.

00:18:05.160 Nobody knows them like I know them. 0.97

00:18:07.100 And I know the good ones and the smart ones and the dumb ones and the weak ones and the disloyal ones. 0.97

00:18:12.540 And we sort of know them all. 0.98

00:18:14.320 You do, too.

00:18:15.000 You've gotten a lesson in this also.

00:18:17.500 And so we have unbelievable people we're going to be bringing in.

00:18:21.020 And I think it'll be unbelievable.

00:18:23.020 And we have to bring our country back.

00:18:24.680 We have to make America great again.

00:18:26.360 That's what it's about.

00:18:27.180 We've got to make America great again.

00:18:28.820 Thanks to you and thanks to all that you've had to endure over the course of your presidency and since you left the White House.

00:18:37.680 Americans now know this government is corrupt.

00:18:39.860 How satisfied are you with these committees, what they are exposing, what they're revealing about the corruption of the Biden regime, the Biden crime family, if you will?

00:18:50.800 So I think Jim Jordan is fantastic and Jamie Comer is fantastic.

00:18:56.260 I think they've done a fantastic job, both of them heading up the committees, the people on the committees, Matt Gaetz and all of them.

00:19:04.000 I could go through a whole list of names.

00:19:05.420 I think they've done a great job.

00:19:06.680 It would be very helpful if you had the president as opposed to, you know, there's not a lot they could do other than impeach and, you know, do certain things that some people want to see done.

00:19:19.080 And so that's going to be up to them.

00:19:21.080 But I think they've done a fantastic job.

00:19:23.100 I mean, the money that they're finding that's being, you know, put into the tills of the Biden family is unbelievable.

00:19:30.820 The numbers I listened to that extortion call.

00:19:33.760 That was an extortion call the other day where, you know, Hunter Biden is really putting the move on some guy in China, a high official of communist China for five point two million dollars.

00:19:48.380 And I guess a week later, they got the money.

00:19:51.100 Now, that was almost like a mob call.

00:19:53.780 That was a rough call.

00:19:55.780 And he talked about his father wants the money.

00:19:58.340 I want the money.

00:19:59.160 My father's sitting right here, right next to me.

00:20:03.020 And, you know, maybe he wasn't.

00:20:04.640 But even if you go back even and look at where we're not getting a billion dollars, you're not getting a billion dollars if you don't change the prosecutor.

00:20:12.440 Can you imagine if I ever made a statement like that?

00:20:15.880 I mean, they impeached me over a perfect phone call.

00:20:18.100 It was perfect.

00:20:19.480 And by the way, I won and say what you want about the Republicans, 196 to nothing in terms of the Republican Party.

00:20:26.940 So they came together for that stuff and, you know, didn't exactly come together for Nixon, but they came together for me.

00:20:33.280 And we have a lot of great people.

00:20:35.820 But we have, you know, I think Jamie and Jim and that whole group of people, I think they're doing a great job of exposing it.

00:20:42.180 And there are things they can do, including the funding.

00:20:45.820 The funding is a big deal.

00:20:46.960 Absolutely.

00:20:48.460 But impeachment is a bigger deal.

00:20:51.000 And you impeachment is big.

00:20:52.740 And frankly, when the presidency, if we take over the presidency, that's the biggest of them all.

00:20:59.800 Do you think you can do real things?

00:21:02.000 Do you think these committees should move toward impeachment because of just the huge amount of evidence that is in front of the American people now?

00:21:09.460 Well, nobody's ever seen it where millions and millions of dollars is pouring into a family.

00:21:15.580 And, you know, like as an example, we've given close to 200 billion dollars to Ukraine.

00:21:21.780 A lot of people agree with it and a lot of people don't.

00:21:25.420 But I will say as time goes by and as they see the kind of numbers that we're talking about.

00:21:29.640 And, you know, and I have to say it would have never happened if I was president and I could solve that in one or two days.

00:21:37.660 Nobody's not.

00:21:38.440 And nobody's trying to solve it.

00:21:39.920 Nobody's talking about we've got to stop all these people from being killed.

00:21:43.920 We've got to stop them from being killed. 0.70

00:21:45.660 It's crazy. 0.94

00:21:46.520 And it could be done.

00:21:47.620 Would have been easier if it never started.

00:21:49.700 And it would have never started with me.

00:21:51.400 And you never heard anything about it.

00:21:53.220 And I knew that Ukraine was the apple of Vladimir Putin's eye.

00:21:57.940 It was the apple.

00:21:58.800 I talked to him numerous times, but I said, you can't even think about it.

00:22:02.920 And said some very tough things.

00:22:04.800 And he never would have never happened.

00:22:06.700 Would have never happened.

00:22:07.660 I think what happened is when they went into Afghanistan, when they tried to, so sadly, when they surrendered and it was so incompetent where we took the military out first.

00:22:20.480 You know, we were leaving Afghanistan, but we were going to keep Bagram.

00:22:24.000 Bagram's one hour away from where China makes nuclear weapons.

00:22:27.380 That was so valuable for us.

00:22:29.820 And now China is occupying Bagram, which I said would happen. 1.00

00:22:33.880 But they left by one of the largest Air Force bases anywhere in the world.

00:22:38.820 I mean, and built at the cost of billions and billions of dollars many years ago.

00:22:43.360 And we left.

00:22:44.240 And it's one hour.

00:22:45.160 Think of it.

00:22:45.580 It's one hour away from where they make.

00:22:47.400 Forget about Afghanistan, Bagram, Fort China.

00:22:49.800 It's one hour away from where they make their nuclear weapons.

00:22:53.680 So you see all these things.

00:22:55.380 It's so sad.

00:22:57.960 Inflation.

00:22:58.400 We had no inflation.

00:23:00.180 We wouldn't have had inflation.

00:23:02.180 Inflation was caused because of what they did with energy.

00:23:05.760 Now they want to go to all electric cars.

00:23:07.640 Well, that's going to take everybody out of Michigan.

00:23:09.560 We're not going to make cars anymore.

00:23:11.440 Those cars are all going to be made in China.

00:23:14.120 And, you know, you see payments of millions of dollars going to Biden and the family.

00:23:20.000 And then you see somebody that does nothing against China, that actually allows military installations to be built in Cuba.

00:23:28.560 And say what you want, the press doesn't talk about it either.

00:23:32.440 The fake news media, it's what they don't say that's even worse than what they do say.

00:23:37.020 They go after me every single day. 1.00

00:23:39.120 I have stories in the Times about absolute bullshit. 1.00

00:23:42.800 And they go after me, Lou, and every day. 0.99

00:23:46.300 But they don't talk about China occupying Cuba.

00:23:50.960 And those people from the Cuban Americans, you know, I got the Bay of Pigs Award recently.

00:23:55.840 I got so much.

00:23:56.980 I got, look, I had, I think I got 94% of the Cuban vote and the Venezuelan vote.

00:24:02.500 They don't do anything about it.

00:24:04.520 Venezuelan now, we're buying Venezuelan oil.

00:24:06.840 We're making the dictator so wealthy.

00:24:09.420 It's going to be like Saudi Arabia. 0.97

00:24:10.980 We're making it because we're buying oil from Venezuela.

00:24:14.980 It's unthinkable.

00:24:16.320 Instead of taking the liquid gold right under our own feet, which is much better, by the way, it's pure.

00:24:22.100 His is tar or theirs is tar. 0.78

00:24:24.460 But you can actually say his is tar.

00:24:26.340 And we're making him and we're making Venezuela, that regime, very rich.

00:24:32.680 It's not even thinkable what we're doing. 0.97

00:24:35.500 We have people that are grossly incompetent and bad and bad.

00:24:40.640 You know, you actually want, why would they want to have open borders?

00:24:43.960 Why do they want to have high interest rates?

00:24:46.420 Why do they want to have all this stuff?

00:24:47.900 Why do they want to have no voter ID?

00:24:50.460 Because they want to cheat.

00:24:51.800 That's why.

00:24:52.700 But all of the things that they want.

00:24:54.320 I mean, think about open borders.

00:24:56.040 Who wants open borders?

00:24:57.240 We're millions.

00:24:57.840 I believe by the end of the year, it'll be 15 million people will have come into our country.

00:25:03.540 Terrorists, prisoners and mental institution people. 1.00

00:25:07.440 A lot of them.

00:25:08.660 And, you know, it's just so sad what they're doing to our country.

00:25:12.600 I think what they're doing to the country and their motivation of this administration and the Marxist nims who lead this administration, I think most Americans understand how impaired Joe Biden is and how corrupt he is. 0.96

00:25:26.380 And there has to be a change.

00:25:30.120 And I believe that one of the reasons that you're so high in the polls is they understand there's unfinished business from the Trump administration that you demonstrated.

00:25:40.840 There could be a wall at the southern border.

00:25:43.080 You demonstrated we could recall troops from, you know, every seemingly every one of 192 countries around the world and that we could adopt a modest foreign policy.

00:25:55.960 And as you demonstrated, energy independence and drive business and markets as they've never been.

00:26:03.860 How long do you believe it would take you upon winning in 2024 and taking office?

00:26:11.460 How long do you think it would take to just be just begin to reverse the damage that this administration has done to the United States?

00:26:21.760 Yeah.

00:26:22.560 Well, first of all, you know, as somebody said, DeSantis says, oh, I'll be there for eight years.

00:26:26.980 If anybody needs eight years, you shouldn't vote him in because you don't want eight years.

00:26:31.020 This could be done a big dent, a very big dent in two or three months.

00:26:36.240 We'll close up the border.

00:26:37.800 We have great people.

00:26:38.920 You know, we have that you interview, that you interview Brandon Judd and Tom Holman.

00:26:46.240 You have no idea.

00:26:47.280 I mean, we have unbelievable people.

00:26:49.080 They're not allowed to do their job on the border and elsewhere.

00:26:52.540 We would be drilling for oil.

00:26:54.460 We'll become energy independent again.

00:26:56.480 We're going to drive down inflation.

00:26:57.940 We're going to become then energy dominant.

00:27:00.280 We're going to sell to Europe and other places all over the world.

00:27:03.260 We're going to start paying off debt.

00:27:04.540 And one of the things we have to do, very vital, is all of these prisoners and mental institution people that have come into our country and terrorists, we're going to get them out. 0.99

00:27:14.060 We're going to have to get them out fast because they're going to be big trouble into the future.

00:27:18.240 You know, I was very strong with the ban and I got criticized for the ban.

00:27:22.500 But we didn't have any problems, did we, for four years, Lou?

00:27:25.220 We had no problem.

00:27:27.020 No problem.

00:27:28.260 And a great, great four years.

00:27:31.860 And we look forward to your return in 2025.

00:27:37.800 I tell you, Mr. President, it's just a delight to talk with you, to hear your thoughts on all of these topics.

00:27:43.400 There's so many more.

00:27:45.260 We wish you all the best. 0.92

00:27:47.300 And as the saying goes in politics, give them hell. 0.86

00:27:51.860 Well, I will. 0.98

00:27:52.720 And you are.

00:27:53.420 And I appreciate it, Lou.
