If you want a president who leaves $500 million worth of wall materials, think of this, rusting in the desert, rusting in the sand, while illegal aliens stampede into your communities walking over those panels, just walking right over them, and laying there rusting and rotting brand new beautiful stuff, then you should vote for Crooked Joe Biden. If, on the other hand, you want a president who will seal the border, and by the way let people come into our country, but they have to come in legally, is that okay? But we have to stop the invasion and reclaim our sovereignty on day one, and that's what we will do, because right now we don't even have a nation between our bad elections and our open borders. You need borders and you need elections, and then you start going from there. And we have horrible open borders. Who would even think, think of it, the people coming in, think of it. They're from prisons and jails, there is a slight difference. They're from mental institutions and insane asylums, there is a slight difference. You know insane asylums is like Silence of the Lamb stuff. That's serious stuff. That's Hannibal Lecter. How good an actor was he? How good an actor was he? Did he play a good role, right? But insane asylums, they're emptying them out, mental institutions, and then of course terrorists are coming in, and you know in 2019 there was a reporter sort of one of the fake news channels, but in this case I don't think it was fake. They said that for 2019 I think the year was, they had no, they caught no terrorists, there were no terrorists coming into our country, and last month as you know they reported the highest number of terrorists that they've ever reported coming into our country. We're going to be paying a price, we're going to have the largest deportation operation in history, but we're going to be paying, we're going to be paying a price.

The Hamas terrorist invasion of Israel territory, Israeli territory, and the murder of Israeli soldiers today, and the brutal murder of citizens is an act of savagery that must and will be crushed, has to be -- it has to be dealt with very powerfully. This is a time where the United States needs leadership. We don't have leadership. But Israel is at war, and the United States, obviously, is going to stick with Israel, and strongly. The war happened for two reasons. The United States is giving and gave to Iran $6 billion, $6 billion, over hostages, over hostages. And, you know, there was a very good trade. They got five hostages. We got five hostages. Okay, that's the good news. The bad news is -- and their hostages were tough, by the way, I have to tell you. That was -- okay. Let's assume they're doing just fine. But it was five for five. But in addition to that, we agreed to free up $6 billion. And that is an absolute disaster. And I would not be at all surprised if part of that tremendous wealth that they just accumulated went into all of a sudden watching this level of aggression. They didn't have that level of aggression with me. They didn't have it. This would have never happened with me either. You know what wouldn't have happened?

Joe Biden betrayed Israel, he betrayed our country, as president I will once again stand with Israel and we will cut off the bunny to Palestinian terrorists on day one. We'll cut it off on day one.

>> Now I'm the only one that goes up in the polls every time I get indicted. You know, Alphonse Capone, did anybody ever hear of Al Capone, the great gangster? He would kill you if he didn't like you at dinner. He would just, you know, you'd be dead, you're gone. And he only got indicted once, okay? I've been indicted four times. I think I have a record for most indictments quickly, considering I never had a problem in my whole life. It's like a record, most indictments within a 15-minute period. All phony deals, too. How about the one in Georgia? How about that phony one? How about the one in New York? She values Mar-a-Lago at 18 million, and she convinces a judge, so you don't know what Mar-a-Lago is, but you sort of do. So some people say it's worth 100 times that number. She values it at $18 million, and I said, there's something wrong here. And everybody said that. And it's probably could be a billion, billion and a half, could be more than that. So it could be 100 times that amount. These are crooked people. This is election interference. These are very dishonest people. And she has a judge. She's a radical left judge, and you know, and I don't get a jury. So even if I had a tough jury, I'd win, but I'm not allowed to have a jury. Nothing to do with checking a box. You know what that, they're all said, oh, the lawyer. Now, you can't check a box. There's no boxes. They did it under a Consumer Fraud Act, can you believe this, where I did everything right, built this great company, and now they find out that the company's worth much more than the financial statement, and they found out they have what's called the disclaimer clause. It's a little complicated, but not too complicated. There was no fraud. They don't know what to do. They don't know what to do. And they've been totally discredited, and it's a disgrace that a thing like that can go on. It's election interference. Never forget, our enemies want to stop us, because we are the only ones who can stop them. We're the only ones. And if we don't win this election, our country is finished, I hate to tell you. They want to take away my freedom, because I will never let them take away your freedom. I will not let it happen.

Under a Trump administration, gasoline-fired engines will be allowed, but child sexual mutilation will not be allowed. Crazy. Whoever thought we'd be saying that? Who thought that you'd have some guy up here 10 years ago? Who would think you'd have somebody up saying, "We will not allow child sexual mutilation - this is the craziest thing." They don't even tell you about what they're going to do to your kids. This is really communism, fascism, these are Marxist, these are sick people, but who would think that? Who would think? Who would think that they would say - one of the favorite phrases - "I will not allow men to play in women's sports." Who would think that? Who would think it? Men, weightlifter, right? Guy lifted 150 pounds more than a woman. It's so demeaning, you know, it's so demeaning to women, the swimming. You see the records? You know, a record that stood for 20 years is broken by like, you know, four hours or something. No, it's just crazy what's going on.

>> To protect American workers and families, I will impose it across the board tariff on foreign made goods that come into our country. If they're gonna come into our country, and if they're going to pillage, in many ways, our country, or do a good job, they have to pay for the right to come into our country. Because right now they're destroying our country on trade. We have trade imbalances at levels that nobody's ever seen. And I was all set to do it, and then we had the COVID situation. And we had other problems, but we're gonna do it, and we were doing it, and we made incredible trade deals. We did so much. I will pass what's called the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act. That means that if China or any other country makes us pay a 100 or 200% tariff, which in many cases they do, we will make them pay a reciprocal tariff of 100 or 200%. We don't do that. We've done it on individual cases where I was able to get it done, but we're gonna do it for everybody. When they charge us, a lot of countries, not only China, but you have a lot of countries, they'll sell a motorbike, they'll put a tariff on Harley Davidson's going into India of 150%. And they sell Indian, what's called Indian motorbikes, lesser level. And we put a tariff on them of nothing. But we did a big thing in my administration, and you know what they want. They want Harley Davidson or whoever to go to India and build a plant. That way they say, you have no tariffs, well, we lose all those jobs. So we're gonna hit them very hard, everybody, we're gonna hit them very hard. Reciprocal trade, they put it on us, we put it on them. One of two things is gonna happen. We'll collect a lot of money and that's fine, and so will they. Or they'll drop the tax, and we'll drop the tax, and it's simply, you don't have an accounting problem. And as tariffs go on, foreign countries, they go up, taxes go on, American workers and small businesses and middle class families will come way down as we do this, because all of this money that will be taken in, all of these jobs that will be taken in, you know, when you do that, you're gonna be opening up plants here and all over the United States.

- A lot of people would like you to be House Speaker. You put your weight behind Jim Jordan. Will you go up to the Hill next week? What will you do next week to get this? - Well, I haven't decided. Jim is fantastic. You have some great people. Look, we have some great Republicans. You know 'em all. And I guess we have some that aren't perfect. But Jim is a fantastic person, a tremendous career. He's always been top at what he did. You know, he was a wrestler in college and he was like a champion all over the country. He was the number one. And you know, when you think that's not only muscle power, that's power up here too. Because you can't just do it with the muscle with the heft. He's a great guy. He's been very successful, very respected. He's doing a fantastic job right now. And he's been with me all the time. I mean, literally from as I was announcing that I was running, he was endorsing me. And there's something nice about that. So I think he'll do well. I hope he does well. He's got competition, as you understand. And they're friendly with me too. Very nice people and good people. We'll see what happens.

When you look out sir at the party how would you want them to come out of this two-week moment and what advice do you give them to get ready to get girded for the 2024 race? I think two words strong and united. We need stronger people we need strong like we have such power and they don't use it but the Democrats use their power and they use it very horribly into like the weaponization and things that nobody has ever seen outside of a banana republic but we need power we need strength and we also have to have more unity the one thing you see with them is they're always why they voted to impeach me with the unanimous vote and half of them said this is ridiculous or a phone call that turned out to be perfect by the way you now your reporter was a Trump turned out to be absolutely right on that phone call and I got impeached over it and yet they had a unanimous vote but we also had a unanimous vote on the Republican said we had 197 votes out of 197 and that's something you don't see very often so that was very nice but I think they need strength and they need unity.

Republicans are going to, after they get through the speaker battle, they're going to have to get a budget deal in place. What advice would you give them to get something like on the board or get something on spending cuts? What advice do you have for them? So I like Kevin a lot, but I disagreed with him so much in two things, debt ceiling, most of all, and this recent border, the recent, and it is sort of a border disaster because they should have had that and they didn't have that taken care of, but the recent budget disaster. And I said, Kevin, this is the president's situation. This isn't you. Whoever's, I don't mean Biden because Biden, I never think he knows what's going on. I think this is the president's, whoever president is, it's not yours. And Kevin worked so hard and in all fairness, in one sense, you have to respect it. In another sense, I thought it was not the right thing to do. Let them solve their problems. And I really thought it would have a close up. And after the close up, we'd negotiate a great deal. But you didn't have that. Kevin wanted to keep it open and he said, we will not let our country close. I said, Kevin, I think it's wonderful what you're saying. But this is really whoever president is. This is the president's problem, not your problem. And you would have been, you said, negotiate for a second, you would have been negotiating for strength. And all of a sudden they announced out of the wind, they announced that they have a deal. And I won't soon forget the picture of Chuck Schumer jumping up and down, high fiving everybody because it was a big victory for them. They solved the problem for Biden, and I don't mind doing that if we get something good for the country. I want to do that. Look, you know, I said it the other day to somebody that was shocked, I wish Biden were doing a great job, even though that would be very hard politically, as opposed to the worst job. He's the worst president in history, the most corrupt president in history, the most incompetent president by far. There's no he can't even get off a stage, can't put two sentences together. But I wish he was doing a phenomenal job, even if it meant that, you know, most likely you wouldn't be elected or whatever. But he's doing the worst job in the history of our country. You talk about the border, you talk about anything, talk about Afghanistan. There's never been a more embarrassing period of time in our country's history than what took place in Afghanistan. And there was no reason for that. You don't take the military out first. And you know, so sad to say, but I would have much preferred. Heaven is a very good man, and he did something very he meant to do well. But nothing was gained by, you know, they gave an extension. But nothing was gotten for either Republicans or for, frankly, the country by doing that. And I think people were ready to really start negotiating and negotiating hard. And they thought it would close for a period of time. It closes. The big one was the debt ceiling that we could have gotten everything we could have. We could have solved the problems of this country with debt ceiling. And instead, Mitch McConnell, who's one of the worst Republicans in history, he's so bad. He's so bad. He's so you can't say he's stupid, but essentially he uses campaign financing to get senators on his side. OK, so I don't know. Do you call that leadership? I don't know. But what he's done is so horrible. So they got debt ceiling transferred into my administration. Thank you very much. And we could have gotten everything with debt. That was bigger, much bigger than when we're talking about the budget, much bigger. That was budget times 20. And that was blown. These are the worst negotiators I've ever seen. I've never seen negotiators like this. They get nothing. And I told Kevin, I said, if you do this, I believe you're going to lose your speakership. And in all fairness to him, he wanted to do what he thought was the right thing. And I personally think he played right into the Democrats' hands, but he lost his speakership over it.

Mr. President, currently, Social Security is on track to be insolvent in 2033, which means that seniors would see a 23% cut in their benefits. So, as president, what action might you take to help preserve and protect Social Security? We have a country that's potentially very rich. We're very poor right now because we're very stupid. If you look at Saudi Arabia, some of the oil-producing nations, they're the richest nations. We have more oil than they do oil and gas. We have more than anybody. We have, if you look at the top of those big oil wars, you see those big fire flames. That's stuff that we're throwing away. That's gas. We're throwing it away. We're burning it. We have it free. We have more than any other nation. And then we had Anwar that I got to prove that Ronald Reagan couldn't get approved. Nobody could get it approved. The biggest in the world, as big as Saudi Arabia may be bigger in Alaska. And Biden threw it away. I got it done. I was so happy with that. Nobody said it could be, nobody thought it could be done. I got it done. Think of it, probably bigger than Saudi Arabia. And at the bottom line, we have more than any other country in the world. And we started off in third place. And by the time I finished, we were in first place by a lot. And we were going to be energy-dominant. We were totally independent on energy. We didn't need anybody's energy. We didn't have to give them arms or armies. We didn't have to guard anybody. We didn't have to keep gulps open. We were totally set. And we were going, I would say, within six months, we would have been dominant. We were going to supply the oil and gas for Europe, little things like that. We were going to supply it for everybody. We had so much, and we had the best extraction. We had the best of everything. And we would have made so much money that Social Security and other things would have been able to be taken care of. If you look at the balance sheet of Saudi Arabia and some of these countries, and you say, "Do you have debt?" They look at you. They don't know what the word debt means. What do you mean debt? When they buy 200 Boeing 777s, I once said, "How do you finance that?" They looked at me like, "Finance? We have more than anybody." And we were going to be dominant to a level that nobody's ever seen before. We were going to make so much money, and we were going to start paying down debt, and we were going to take care of Social Security. One thing, I won't stand for people paying more.

But with energy, we have more than anybody else. And all of this fake energy that they talk about, the Green New Deal stuff, the Green New Deal is the destruction of our country. Every time you hear that, think about the destruction of our country. You know, wind is about 50 times more expensive per kilowatt hour. There's many ways of measuring it. But the bottom line, it's much, much more expensive if you take a natural gas, which is very clean. And if you look at it at three cents, you could look at wind at about 50 cents. That's where you are. And that's like unacceptable. And you know, Germany tried, they tried, Angela was, she tried two big experiments, let two million people into our country. That didn't work out too well. And the other one was she wanted to go all green. So they closed all the coal plants and they stopped even their nuclear plants and they went green for a little while and they were going to go out of business in about two minutes. And now they're building coal plants all over the place. Wind is building a coal plant every four days. And here we are talking about nonsense that doesn't have the power or the technology to fire up our big factories and plants. And it's very, very expensive.
