TRUMP ON FIRE: President Trump Delivers Remarks to the Press - 8/8/24

Donald J. Trump
Well, thank you very much. I appreciate your being here. Just a statement before I talk about debates. I think that our country is right now in the most dangerous position it's ever been in from an economic standpoint, from a safety standpoint, both gangs on the street and frankly gangs outside of our country in the form of other countries that are frankly very powerful. They're very powerful countries and we don't know what we're doing. We have leadership that has no clue how to handle them or how to handle any other situation. We have a, we have a lot of bad things coming up. You could end up in a depression of the 1929 variety, which would be a devastating thing, took many years, took decades to recover from it. Uh And we're very close to that and we're very close to a world war. In my opinion, we are very close to a world war. We have people that don't know how to handle it. Uh They are not respected all over the world they are left at and we can't have that most dangerous period of time I've ever seen for our country. With that being said, we have somebody that hasn't received one vote for president and she's running and that's fine with me. But we were given Joe Biden and now we are given somebody else. And I think frankly I'd rather be running against somebody else, but that was their choice. They decided to do that because, uh, Kamala's record is horrible. She is a radical left person at a level that nobody has seen, she picked a radical left, ah, man that is, he's got things done that he, he has positions that are just not, it's not even possible to believe that they exist. Uh, he's going for things that nobody has ever even heard of. Heavy into the transgender world. Heavy into lots of different worlds having to do with safety. He doesn't want to have borders, he doesn't want to have walls. He doesn't want to have any form of safety for our country. He doesn't mind people coming in from prisons and neither does she, I guess because she's not, she couldn't care unless she is the border Czar. By the way, she was the border czar 100%. And all of a sudden for the last few weeks, she is not the border Czar anymore, like nobody ever said it. And I just hope that the media becomes more diligent, more honest frankly because if they are not going to be honest, it's going to be much tougher to bring our country back we have a very, very sick country right now. Uh, you saw the other day with the stock market crash and that was just the beginning. That was just the beginning. It's gonna get worse, it's gonna get a lot worse in my opinion. And, uh, fortunately we've had some very good polls over the last fairly short period of time. Rasmussen came out today was substantially leading and others came out today that were leading and in some cases, substantially, I guess MS NBC came out or C NBC came out also with a poll that was, you know, has a leading and leading fairly big in swing states in some polls, I'm leading very big in swing states because they want safety, people want safety, they want security, they want respect all around the world for our country. They don't want this, this horrible culture that is developing a culture of no common sense. It's really a culture of no common sense and it's not what anyone wants. We want to have a safe country, we want to have a strong military, we want low interest rates and we want to be able to have the American dream. We want to be able to have our youth, be able to buy homes, housing, get good jobs. And we're really just at the opposite right now. So it's so sad to see. But as a border czar, she has been the worst border czar in history in the world. History. Uh I think the number is 20 million but whether it's 15 or 20 it's numbers that nobody has ever heard before. 20 million people came over the border in the last, during the Biden Harris administration, 20 million people. And it could be very much higher than that. Nobody really knows what the number is. Nobody knows. Nobody has a clue. And the God of ways they call them, the God of ways. The gota ways are numbers. Somebody was quizzing me on it the other day. No, no, I don't think so, sir. I don't think so. Uh, they have no idea what those numbers are, but they are much higher than you would think. Just like far more people were killed in the Ukraine Russia war than you ever report. Just like the October 7th would have never happened. Russia would have never hit Ukraine had the election result been called differently. Uh It was a very bad call but Russia would not have attacked Ukraine. October 7th in Israel. Would have never happened. You wouldn't have inflation. A lot of great things would have happened. But now you have millions and millions of dead people and you have people dying financially because they can't buy bacon. They can't buy food, they can't buy groceries, they can't do anything and they're living horribly in our country right now with all of that being said, I think it's very important to have debates and we've agreed with Fox on a date of September 4th. We've agreed with NBC fairly full agreement, subject to them on September 10th and we've agreed with ABC on September 25th. So we have those three dates and uh those networks. Uh, they are very anxiously awaiting that date and those dates. So we have September 4th, September 10th and September 25th. We have spoken to the heads of the network and it's all been confirmed Uh other than uh some fairly minor details, audience, some location, which, which city would we put it into. But all things that will be settled very easily. Very, I think it would be very easy. The other side has to agree to the terms. They may or may not agree. I don't know if they're going to agree. They, she hasn't done an interview. She can't do an interview. She's barely competent and she can't do an interview. But I look forward to the debates because I think we have to set the record straight. Why is it that millions of people were allowed to come into our country? From prisons, from jails, from mental institutions, insane asylums even insane as that's a uh it's a mental institution on steroids. That's what it is when you see the people that are coming into our, these are institutions that are being emptied out, not in South America all over the world, including South America, all over the world. Prisons are being emptied out into our country because we have a president. That's the worst president in the history of our country. We have a vice president who is the least admired, least respected and the worst vice president in the history of our country, the most unpopular vice president. And because of political reasons or because of, uh, being politically correct, even though she never received a vote. Don't forget she was the first one defeated as I remember it because I watched it very closely. But she was the first one. She never made it to Iowa the first stage. She never made it to Iowa. She was the first one that was defeated. She was the nastiest to him. She was nasty with the calling him a racist and the school bus and all of the different things. She was very nasty to Biden and shockingly he appointed her, asked her to serve as vice president. Well, I don't know if he's happy about that decision right now. This was taken away. The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden and I'm no Biden fan, but I'll tell you what, from a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint, you look at, they took the presidency away and people were saying he lost after the debate, he couldn't win. Well, I don't know that that's true necessarily. But whether he could win or he couldn't win, he had the right to run and they took it away. They said they're gonna use the 25th amendment, they are gonna hit you hard either. We can do it. The nice I heard. I know exactly because I know a lot of people on the other side believe it or not. And, uh, they said we will do it the nice way. We'll do it the hard way. And he said, all right. So that, I mean, they've really taken what they've done is pretty incredible. Uh, and now I'm running against somebody else and we're leading, we are leading. So I'm not complaining, I'm saying it's a for a country with a constitution that we cherish, we cherish this constitution to have done it this way is pretty severe, pretty horrible. Uh You would have thought they would have gone out to a vote, they would have had a primary system, they would have done something but to just take it away from them. Uh like he was a child and he's a very angry man right now. I can tell you that he's not happy with Obama and he's not happy with Nancy Pelosi. Crazy, Nancy. She is crazy too. She's not happy with any of the people that told him that you've got to leave. He's very unhappy, very angry and I think he also blames her. He's trying to put up a good face, but it's a very bad thing in terms of a country when you do that. I'm not a fan of his as you probably have noticed. And he had a rough debate, but that doesn't mean that you just take it away like that or you go out to a vote, you do something. He had 14 million votes. She had no votes, she got no votes. And uh I think she's crashing. I think when people find out and I think people are starting to find out what a bad job she did, what a bad job she did on the border. She's trying to say she had nothing to do with the border. She had everything she was appointed to head the border. And then they said borders are, oh, she loved that name. She loved that name, but she never went there. She went to a location once along the border, but that was a location that you would love to go and have dinner with your husband or whoever that was a location that was not part of the problem that was not really going to the border. So I essentially she never went to the border. And if you listen to Tom Holman, if you listen to the great border people, Brandon Judd from the border patrol, if you listen to Paul, I mean, so many different people, I speak to him all the time. And I did when I was president, we had the best border in the history of our country and now we have the worst border in the history of the world. Millions of people coming in and our country. Cannot sustain it. Our country is going down because of this, because of incompetent people. So I just look forward to these debates. I think it's very important that we have them. I hope she agrees to them. September 4th, September 10th, September 25th. And I think they will be very revealing. I think they'll be very revealing. Do you have any questions, please? I haven't recalibrated strategy at all. It's the same policies, open borders weak on crime. She's, I think she's worse than Biden because he got forced into the position. She was there long before she destroyed San Francisco. She destroyed California as the A G but as the D A she destroyed, she San Francisco, a friend of mine, Bob Tisch, you know, all know the Tisch family. He was in many cities with companies. He said the greatest city in the country is San Francisco that was about 20 years ago and he passed away a while ago and he would be looking down and said what happened? He thought it was the best city in the country. He had divisions there, lows and uh he would be looking down in horror. Now when he sees she destroyed no cash bail weak on crime. Uh she is terrible and yet they weaponized the system against me. They have me. I got so many lawyers now they want to delay cases. I won the big case in Florida. I won the big case. Nobody even wrote about it. The big case, the judge was a brilliant judge and all they do is they play the ref with the judges. This judge was a fair but brilliant judge. And as you probably heard the big documents case, I won it. Now, Biden lost it because he didn't have pre presidential immunity. He didn't have the Presidential Records Act. He lost it. But the special I call it prosecutor, special counsel, special prosecutor to me, he uh appointed by him and appointed by Garland. He said the man is incompetent. He can't stand trial but he can run for president. But we no longer have to worry about that because we have somebody that in my opinion is more incompetent. She couldn't pass her bar exam and lots of other things and she should not be in a position because if she becomes president, our country is going to be a giant fail, it's going to fail. It's going to be a failure. The likes of which this world has never seen. Yeah, please. How about you? You have to speak louder that, yeah. Well, it changes around a little bit. I'm getting other voters. Uh perhaps, you know, I was doing very well with black voters and I still am. Uh I seem to be doing very well with black males. This is according to polls as you know. Uh It's possible that I won't do as well with black women, but I do seem to be doing very well with other segments extremely well. With Hispanic, uh, Jewish voters weigh up white males. Way up. White males have gone through the roof, white males way up. I don't know. All we're doing is giving you the stats that you have. It could be that I'll be affected somewhat with, uh, black females where we're doing pretty well. And I think ultimately they'll like me better because I'm going to give them security safety and jobs. I'm going to give them a good economy. We have a very bad economy right now. We could, we could literally be on the throes of a depression, not recession, a depression and they can't have that. They can't have that. So I think I'm going to do well with everybody, especially when the facts are out. Yeah, please in the back. Well, I don't know. I know Josh Shapiro. He's a terrible guy and he's not very popular with anybody. I think that this, uh, this election maybe is better than Josh Shapiro would have been. But I think other than Josh Shapiro, I think she had some good choices, but Josh Shapiro is not one of them. He's caused a lot of damage with a lot of people and I don't think he would have been better. I think he would have been maybe the equivalent, maybe not as good, but they had some people that they were looking at that were good, far superior to her. They actually had a story where they had everybody, including, they had like 10 people that she was looking at and her, and they said she was the worst of all. In other words, she was the worst out of the 10 people at. I don't know how that's going to work out. We'd like to do three debates. We think we should do three debates. We think Fox and ABC and we also have CBS who is going to do the vice presidential debate. So CBS will do vice presidential and, and I have to tell you JD Vance has really stepped up. He's doing a fantastic job. Say it. Oh, give me a break. Listen, I had 107,000 people in New Jersey. You didn't report it. I'm so glad you asked, what did she have yesterday? 2000 people. If I ever had 2000 people, you'd say my campaign is finished. It's so dishonest the press. And here's a great example I had in Michigan recently, 25,000 people and 25,000 people were just, we just couldn't get them in. We had in Harrisburg, 20 25,000 people and 20,000 people couldn't get in. We had so many, nobody ever mentions that when she gets 1500 people. And I saw it yesterday on ABC which they said, oh, the crowd was so big. I have 10 times, 20 times, 30 times the crowd size and they never say the crowd was, that's why I'm always saying, turn around the cameras. I'm so glad you asked that. I think it's so terrible when you say, well, she has 1500 people, 1000 people. And they talk about, oh, the enthusiasm. Let me tell you, we have the enthusiasm, the Republican Party and me as a candidate. But the Republican Party has the enthusiasm because people want to see crime stopped. They want to see a country that's respected. Think of it. If I were president, you wouldn't have Russia and Ukraine where it never happened. Zero chance. You wouldn't have had October 7th of Israel. You wouldn't have the horrible withdrawal. And I don't mean to withdraw because the withdrawal was fine. I was ready to withdraw from Afghanistan and we were going to do it with dignity and strength and we were going, we were keeping our equipment. We weren't leaving $85 billion worth of equipment behind it. We wouldn't have had 13 great soldiers. I know the families of those soldiers. Well, we wouldn't have had the soldiers killed and we wouldn't have had 4545 soldiers obliterated no legs, no arms, the face, none of that would have happened. And you wouldn't have had inflation. You wouldn't have had any inflation because inflation was caused by their bad energy problems. Now they've gone back to the Tthing because they need the votes. They, you know, I don't know if you know, they're drilling now because they had to go back because gasoline was going up to 78 $9 a barrel. So they said we better do what Trump. But the day after the election, if they won, you're gonna have fuel prices go through the roof. Everybody is going to be forced to buy an electric car, which they're not going to do because they don't want that. It's got a great market, It's got a market. It's really a sub market. People want gasoline propelled cars. They want hybrids, they want to have everything and they want electric, but they want everybody to have an electric car. We don't have enough electricity, we couldn't make enough electricity for that. And you know what else? The weight of a car, the weight of a truck, they want all trucks to be electric, little things that a lot of people don't talk about. The weight of a truck is 2.5 times, 2.5 times heavier. You would have to rebuild every bridge in this country if you were going to do this ridiculous policy. So, but on crowd size in history for any country, nobody has had crowds like I have and you know that and when she gets 1000 people and everybody starts jumping, you know that if I had 1000 people would say people would say that's the end of his campaign. I have hundreds of thousands of people in South Carolina. I had 88,000 people in Alabama. I had 68,000 people. Nobody says about crowd size with me but she has 1000 people or 1500 people. And they say, oh, the enthusiasm is back. No, no, the enthusiasm is with me and the Republican Party because they want to stop crime. They want to stop people from pouring into our country, from places unknown and from countries unknown, from countries that nobody ever heard of. That's where the enthusiasm. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if I can or not. I got him elected without me. He wouldn't be governor. I got him elected. He was doing terribly. I got him elected with that being said, I hope we can repair it. But if we don't, the people are still the people and they're going to vote. We're leading in Georgia by a lot. We're leading in Pennsylvania by a lot. So, but I don't know. Now in Pennsylvania I have great relationships in Georgia. I do too, but unfortunately not with the governor. I've never understood it when you get somebody elected. They're supposed to like you. He's not exactly for some reason and you'll have to ask him about that. Yeah. I'd love to see it. Get repaired. I think that if we don't win. Georgia, Georgia is a big, is a big win, is a big state. So I won Alabama by a record. Nobody's ever gotten that many votes. I won South Carolina by a record. You don't win Alabama and South Carolina by records and lose Georgia. It doesn't happen. And the people of Georgia understand that there was tremendous anxiety and problems in Georgia. A lot of people say what happened and we have to, all we want is honest elections. If we have honest elections in Georgia and we have honest elections in Pennsylvania, we're going to win them by a lot. Well, he actually said it two ways first. He said it incorrectly, then he corrected himself. Do you agree with that? Right. You know, if you watch him, he said it two ways. No, no, no. I mean, he said it two ways because he doesn't really know what he said. Why didn't he bring it up at the debate? You know, he had a chance for 90 minutes to bring it up at the debate. He could have talked about that at the debate and he didn't do it. Everyone said, oh, he said this and he said that he's just, you know, they give him something to read off. He read it very badly because he actually said it the opposite. Then he had to go back and correct himself. He said the opposite. He should have brought this up at the debate. If he had a problem, of course, there will be a peaceful transfer and there was last time and there will be a peaceful transfer. I just hope we're going to have honest elections. That's all ok. What a stupid question. This is because I'm leading by a lot and because I'm letting their convention go through and I am campaigning a lot. I'm doing tremendous amounts of taping here. We have commercials that are at a level. I don't think that anybody has ever done before. Plus in certain cases, I see many of you in the room where I'm speaking to you on phones. I'm speaking to radio. I'm speaking to television. Television is coming over here. Excuse me. What are we doing right now? She's not doing any news conference. You know why she's not doing it because she can't do a news conference. She know how to do a news conference. She's not smart enough to do a news conference and I'm sorry, we need smart people to lead this country because our country has never been in this danger before, both economically and from an outside, from an outside perspective. Russia doesn't respect us anymore. China doesn't respect us anymore. North Korea Kim Jong Un liked me a lot. He doesn't like this group. We are in great danger. We are in great danger of being in World War II. That could happen. No, after their convention. Yeah. And I'm going out, actually, I'm going out to certain places to help certain senators get elected. Not even for me. I'm trying to help when I go out to Wyoming or when I go out to Montana or I'm going to different places to help people and I don't have to go there because I'm leading those states as, you know, by 35 40 50 points I'm leading by record numbers. I'm going because I want to help senators and congressmen get elected, congressmen and women get elected. Yes, please. Yeah. Go ahead. The upcoming what? Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Elon Mosque. So, yeah. Sure. So Elon called me as you know, he endorsed me full throated, great endorsement. I respect Elon a lot. He respects me and not easy for him to endorse, to be honest with you. You know, it takes courage to endorse. Uh People, many people have courage and many people don't. He does have courage and Elon endorsed me and he asked me whether or not I do a show on Monday and I think it's going to be Monday night and I believe he's the host of the show. So it will be very interesting. A lot of people are talking about it. I look forward to it that will be done on Monday night where you have a lot of misinformation spread about China and you have a lot of misinformation spread about a lot of different places. I think I'm going to get along great with China, President Xi of China and I were very good friends we met right here right in that, except we had a beautiful sofa there as opposed to what we have right now, right now. We have you. But President Xi and I had a very good relationship until COVID and I held him responsible for COVID. It broke up our relationship. But I think we're going to have a great relationship and I think it's going to be mutually beneficial but we cannot have it where China is taking advantage of the United States. And that's what they were doing as you very well know. Yes, please. What's your question? No, I think the people that if you look at January 6th, which a lot of people aren't talking about very much. I think those people were treated very harshly when you compare them to other things that took place in this country where a lot of people were killed, nobody was killed on January 6th. But I think that the people of January 6th were treated very unfairly and they were there to complain, not through me. They were there to complain about an election. And, you know, it's very interesting, the biggest crowd I've ever spoken to and I said peacefully and patriotically, which nobody wants to say. But I said peacefully and patriotically, the biggest crowd I've ever spoken to. And you've seen Maggie, I was in, at the mall, I was at the Washington Monument. I was at the whole thing. I had crowds. I don't know who's ever had a bigger crowd than I have, but I had it many times. The biggest crowd I've ever spoken before was that day. And I'll tell you, it's very hard to find a picture of that crowd. You see the picture of a small number of people relatively going to the Capitol, but you never see the picture of the crowd. The biggest crowd I've ever spoken, I've spoken to the biggest crowds. Nobody has spoken to crowds bigger than me. If you look at Martin Luther King when he did his speech, his great speech and you look at ours, same real estate, same everything, same number of people. If not, we had more and they said he had a million people, but I had 25,000 people. But when you look at the exact same picture and everything is the same because it was the fountains, the whole thing all the way back to uh from Lincoln to Washington. And you look at it and you look at the picture of his crowd, my uh we actually had more people. They said I had 25,000 and he had a million people and I'm OK with it because I liked Dr Martin Luther King. Yeah, please. Why? Yeah, sure. We have a constitution. It's a very important document and we live by it. She has no votes and I'm very happy to run against her. I'm not complaining from that standpoint and I hate to be defending him, but he did not want to leave. He wanted to see if he could win. They said you're not going to win after the debate. They said you're not going to win. You can't win. You're out. And at first they said it nicely and he wasn't leaving and then you, you know that, you know, it better than anybody. Wait a minute. So, uh, when you think about it, they said at first they were going to go out to another vote, they were going to go through a primary system, a quick primary system, which it would have to be and then it all disappeared and they just picked a person that was the first out. She was the first loser. Ok. So we call her the first loser. She was the first loser. When, uh, during the primary system, during the Democrat primary system, she was the first one to quit and she quit. She had no votes, no support and she was a bad debater, by the way, very bad debater. And that's not the thing I'm looking forward to, but she was a bad debater. She did obviously a bad job. She never made it to Iowa then for some reason. And I know he regrets it. You do too. He picked her and she turned on him too. She was working with the people that wanted him out. But the fact that you can be, get no votes lose in the primary system. In other words, you had 14 or 15 people. She was the first one. Out and that you can then be picked to run for a president. It seems, seems to me actually unconstitutional. Perhaps it's not, please. So I have run against Hillary and I have run against various other people. Uh I would say that in terms of intelligence, Hillary was far superior. I would say that Hillary was smart. She was her own worst enemy in many ways, but she was smart, very smart. Ok. If you ask me to compare them, please, uh, would you repeat that question, please? Do you have to speak up? It's a hard room because it's very big if you know, so this is worth $18 million. Oh, I see. Yeah. So I think the abortion issue is written very much tempered down and I've answered, I think very well in the debate and it seems to be much less of an issue, especially for those where they have the exceptions as you know, and I think it's when I looked for 52 years, they wanted to bring abortion back to the States. They wanted to get rid of Roe V Wade. And that's Democrats, republicans and independents and everybody liberals, conservatives, everybody wanted it back in the States. And I did that. Now, the States are voting and frankly some of the votes are much more, if you could say liberal than you would think. Ohio turned out to be, they had a big vote and it turned out to be a much more liberal standing than people would have thought Kansas is the same thing and then you have Texas and you have other places where it may be different. But the issue has been brought back to the States now. And like Ronald Reagan, I believe in the exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother, I believe. You know, I believe strongly. I think that that's a very important thing. I think when you don't, you have to follow your heart. But when you don't believe in the exceptions, I think it's much tougher, it's a much tougher issue, but about 82% of Republicans do believe in exceptions. I think the, and a lot of them are changing their mind and coming even even further. I think that abortion has become much less of an issue. It's a very small, I think it's actually going to be a very small issue. What I've done is I've done what every Democrat and every, every Republican wanted to have done and we brought that issue back to the States and now the States are voting on it and frankly, some of the votes are a lot different than people would have thought. But it's the vote of the people who is taking care of it. And, you know, when you think about the radical, the Democrats are really the radical ones on this because they're allowed to do ab abortion on the 8th and 9th month. And even after birth, if you look at your new, uh, governor from Minnesota, he's talking about, he's like the governor, previous, the former governor, I don't want to get him mixed up because Glenn is doing a good job and he's leading our, he's leading our whole campaign in Virginia. Glenn Yan. But previous to Glenn, the governor, he said the baby will be born, we will put the baby aside and we will decide with the mother what we're going to do. In other words, whether or not we're going to kill the baby. The Minnesota gentleman, he, this guy agrees with that. He is the most liberal. Look between her and him. There's never been anything like this. There's never been a combination. So I'll use the word progressive, you know, they want to go progress. They don't like the word liberal. I like liberal better. I think it's more appropriate because nobody knows what progressive means. But they now like to use the word progressive, but there's certainly never been anybody so liberal like these two or even close. I think the abortion issue has been taken down many notches. I don't think it's of, I don't think it's a big factor anymore really. And when people hear what I said in the debate and I think I said it very well during the debate, we brought it back to the States. Everybody wanted it in the States. And very importantly, and you think about this, assuming you have exceptions. If you don't have exceptions. It's a more difficult thing. At the same time. There are people that strongly feel that way and you have to follow your heart and you should follow your heart. But that issue has, is very much subdued. Yeah, thank you. Is that who? Yes. No, I didn't look if you take away guns, she wants to take away everyone's gun. If you take away guns, you can't do it because people need the guns for protection. Now, entertainment, they wanted hunting. They, you know, different things but they need weapons for protection in this country. People live out in the woods and they're not going to have a gun if you look at it. Some, some countries I don't want to go, I don't want to get them in trouble, but some countries have actually gone the opposite way. They had very strong gun laws and now they have gone the opposite way where they allowed people to have guns where in one case they encourage people to go out and get guns and crime is down 29%. And remember this, what is the toughest gun law in the United States? Chicago. On July 4th, 117 people were shot and 17 died. The toughest gun laws in the United States are in the city of Chicago. You know that they had 117 people shot. Afghanistan does not have that Afghanistan, by the way, was the lowest point in the history of our country. In my opinion, that was the worst embarrassment to the history of this country. And I think Putin would not have gone into Ukraine if that didn't happen when he saw the incompetence of Millie and all these guys that are incompetent. When he saw that happen when they took out the soldiers first, they took out the soldiers first. You know, if you go back and check your records for 18 months, I had a talk with Abdul. Abdul was the leader of the Taliban still is, but I had a strong talk with him for 18 months. Not one American soldier was shot at or killed but not even shot at 18 months. And then we had the disaster of the, of the lift where people were falling off airplanes from three times the height of the World Trade Center. I mean, it's terrible but, uh, now our country has to be respected again. Please go ahead, please. I'd be against it that Kamala is in favor of not giving Israel weapons. That's what I hear. Look, uh, she has been very, very bad to Israel and she has been very bad to Jewish people. And I say it, if anybody I know is Jewish and they would vote for Kamala over me. They should have their head examined. If you think about it. I gave them Golan Heights, I gave them the capital of Israel, Jerusalem. I built the, I even built the embassy. I gave them no Iran deal. The problem is they didn't do anything with it. Iran was broke. We could have made a deal so easily. I would have had a deal done within one week after the election with Iran. Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. It's very simple. We would have gotten along with Iran. I was looking forward to it. I was fine with Iran. You know, we hit them a couple of times pretty hard, but we would have been fine with Iran, but I got them, I terminated that deal. I got them, the Abraham Accords. Everyone said that's impossible. I got them. The Abraham Accords. She's been very, very bad to Israel and she's been very bad and disrespectful to Jewish people and any Jewish person that votes for Kamala and her friend, her new friend who, I don't know if she knew him before, but I don't think he's too good but anybody that votes for them, if you're Jewish or if you love Israel, you have to have your head examined. Go ahead, please. They have the FBI came to see me about the shooter. Uh I think they've done a very good job and I think they did a very good job with respect to this other lunatic that they have in custody, please. Yeah, a little bit. Well, I know Willie Brown very well. In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him we thought maybe this is the end. We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together and there was an emergency landing. This was not a pleasant landing and Willie was, he was a little concerned. So I know him, I know him pretty well. I mean, I haven't seen him in years. Uh, but he told me terrible things about her, but this is what you're telling me anyway, I guess. But he had a big part in what happened with Kamala. But he, I don't know, maybe he's changed his tune but he, he was not a fan of hers very much at that point. Yeah, I do. Go ahead on what? Uh, well, I'm going to announce that I'm going to actually have a press conference on that at some point in the near future. So I don't want to tell you now, but, uh, Florida does have a vote coming up on that and I think probably the vote will go in a little more liberal way than people thought. But I'll be announcing that at the appropriate time, please. Yeah, we gave tremendous and tremendous for child care and all of that. Now, our tax, our tax cuts, which are the biggest in history, our tax cuts are coming due as, you know, very soon. And if the democrats don't renew them or make it impossible to renew because it's pretty close in terms of vote, if they don't renew them, it's the equivalent of having a four times tax increase from what you have right now and it will destroy the economy. I think they're under tremendous pressure to do it. I've never seen you all my life. I grow up and I watch politics and I used to be on the other side of politics. Then I run for office. But in all the years of studying politics, I've never seen people get elected by saying we're going to give you a tax increase. These guys get up, think of it. We're going to give you no security. We're going to give you a weak military. We're going to give you no walls, no borders, no anything. We're going all these things they are doing. I mean, transgender, transgender became such a big thing, but they do all of these things, but they always say we're going to give you a tax increase. I never heard anybody campaign on a tax increase. A politician has always said I will cut taxes. I'll give you one example, social security, they're going to destroy social security. I am going to leave social security. I'm not raising the years. I'm not raising the age. I will be saving social security and I'm going to work it out that there's no tax on social security for seniors. I'm also doing no tax on tips, no tax on tips. So waiters, waitresses, caddies, people that drive cars, people that get tips who have been harassed by this government, we're going to have no tax on tips. That's a big thing. A yeah. Oh, absolutely. Sure. Because other people have done far bigger things than C Bannon. Sure. It's politically motivated. I think it's a horrible thing. They did. Look, they've weaponized government against me. Look at the Florida case. It was a totally weaponized case. All of these cases. By the way, the New York cases are totally controlled out of the Department of Justice. They sent their top person to the various places. They went to the Ag's office, got that one going, then he went to the Da's office, got that one going. Ran through it. No, no, this is all politics and it's a disgrace never happened in this country. It's very common that it happens, but in our country, it happens in banana Republics and third world countries and that's what we're becoming. We have no borders, we have bad voting regulations. Anytime you have mail in ballots, you're going to have problems. France learned that lesson. You know, France had all mail in voting and they went back to paper ballots, voter identification, voter id, they went back to a normal system one day voting. They don't want to be around, you know, voting for 64 days and look the election. I keep talking about November 5th, but the election really starts on September 6th. That's when it starts because it's early voting. We should have one day voting. We should have paper ballots, we should have voter ID and we should have proof of citizenship, please. No, the gentlemen are back for who you're going to have to talk louder, sir. Support Elon. Um is a very different kind of a guy. Uh He is a very big believer in the country, but he is very worried about the country. He is very worried about the country and I don't know if it's good for him politically to have supported me. Although I think we have a vast majority of this country does support me. But Elon more than almost anybody. I know. I mean, he, he loves his country. He loves the concept of the country. But like me, he says this country is in big trouble, it's in big, it's in tremendous danger. Ok, please. I like, I like this guy. I like him. Yeah, the polls have suggested there are some polls that say we're going to win in a landslide. People are voting with their stomachs, meaning they go to the grocery store, they're paying 50 60 70 percent more for food than they did just a couple of years ago. Look at what's happened to energy. Look at what's happened not only to their cars where gasoline has gone from 187 a dollar 87. And we, we had moments when it was below that, but it's gone from a dollar 87 to 56 and $7. And they take the strategic national reserves and they take it out, even though it's peanuts compared, it doesn't last long. But they're virtually empty. Now. We've never had it this low. And he's using that to keep the gasoline prices as low as possible. He's all of the oil out, essentially the gasoline to keep the, to keep the price down a little bit. And it's had very little impact, but you know what, we have no strategic national reserves. Now he's emptied it, it's almost empty. It's never been this low and I had it at a good level and I would have had it more if the democrats would have approved the deal. You know, I had a deal to buy it at $22 a barrel and now it's getting, it's going to be close to 100 pretty soon, my opinion. And the Democrats didn't want to do that, but we bought a lot anyway and we had it pretty good and what they've done to the National Reserves, the strategic National Reserves as you know, very well because you cover it. But what they've done is incredible. They, they've just for the sake of getting some votes for the sake of having guests. You know, that's meant for wars. It's meant for like tragedy. It's not meant to keep a gasoline price down so that somebody can vote for Biden or in this case, Kamala who by the way is worse than Biden and she's actually not as smart. Ok. She's actually not as smart. That's hard to believe, isn't it? Yeah, please. Ok. So you could, you could do things that will be, would, would supplement. Absolutely. And those things are pretty, uh, open and humane, but you have to be able to have a vote and all I want to do is give everybody a vote and the votes are taking place right now as we speak. Yeah. But it's a very good, there are many things on a humane basis that you can do outside of that. But you also have to give a vote and the people are going to have to decide. Ok. Yes, please. You on what? No, I think she's actually not as smart as he is. I don't think he's very smart either. By the way, I'm not a big fan of his brain, but I think that she's actually not as smart as he is. Well, uh, she's a woman. She represents certain groups of people, but I will say this when people find out about her, I think she'll be much less and I see it right now, I see her going way down to the polls now, now that people are finding out that she destroyed San Francisco, she destroyed the State of California along with Governor Gavin Newscom. He's been a terrible governor, terrible, but they did it together and she was early, I mean, she was the first of the prosecutors really you know, now you see Philadelphia, you see Los Angeles, you see New York, you see various people that are very bad but she was the first of the bad prosecutors. She was early. Who would you repeat that, please? No, you would you repeat what you said? You have to speak up. This room is very louder. Do you hear her a daily press briefing? Why would I do that? I would give you all the press briefings. You want? Look what I'm doing here. But why would I do a daily press? You'd get tired of me very fast. No, but I will give you total access and you'll have a lot of press briefings and you'll have from me. Now, are you talking about from me or from a press secretary? Well, yeah, probably they'll do something. If it's not daily, it's going to be a lot. You'll have more than you want. Yeah, please. I don't think it's appropriate for me to talk about it. I think it's a tragic story. You want to know the truth. And I felt that with Hillary Clinton too, you know, with Hillary Clinton, I could have done things to her that would have made your head spin. I thought it was a very bad thing. Take the wife of a president of the United States and put her in jail and then I see the way they treat me, that's the way it goes. But I was very protective of her. Nobody would understand that. But I was, I think my people understand it. They used to say, lock her up, lock her up and I'd say just relax, please. We won the election. I think it would be very, I think it would have been horrible for our country if I and we had her between the hammering of all of the files. And don't forget she got a subpoena from the United States Congress. And then after getting the subpoena, she destroyed everything that she was supposed to get. I could, I didn't think, I thought it was so bad to take her and put her in jail, the wife of a president of the United States. And then when it's my turn, nobody thinks that way. I thought it was a very terrible thing and she did a lot of very bad things. I tell you what she was, she was pretty evil, but in terms of the country and in terms of unifying the country, bringing it back to have taken her and to have put her in jail. And I think, you know, the things as well as I do, there were some pretty bad acts that she did. I think it would have been very bad for our country and a lot of my people, a lot of the mega as they call them. But the base and I think the base is, I think the base is 75% of the country far beyond the Republican Party because we're a party of common sense and I'm a person of common sense. I want to have low taxes. I want to have strong borders. I want to have a strong military so that China and Russia look, they've allowed China and Russia to do the impossible combine. They are natural enemies. They always have been because China needs more land and Russia has it. They've always been natural enemies. And because of Obama it started with him and then Biden because he didn't know what the hell he was doing. They've now become one force and then now they're adding Iran to it and they're adding North Korea to it. Pretty powerful force. This is something that is unthinkable that they allowed to happen. Oh, it's gonna end. The honeymoon period is gonna look, she's got a little period. She's got a convention coming up. It's about policy. It's not about her. I think she's incompetent because I've watched her. She destroyed California. She destroyed San Francis. Everything she has touched has turned to bad things I want to use. I'm not going to use foul language but everything she has touched has turned bad. She's incompetent the reason she's not doing what I do and she's not doing what she should be doing. She won't even do interviews with friendly people because she can't do better than Biden. Now, he had a reason for not doing well and he was never 25 years ago, the sharpest or brightest bulb in the ceiling that I can tell you. Ok, he wasn't, but he could do interviews. At least not lately. He couldn't perhaps, but she's, she should be doing interviews. She doesn't want to do interviews. And the reason she doesn't is number one, her policies are so bad just to answer your question. I think that it's not going to change because it's really, ultimately not about her as much as about her policies. She wants open borders. She wants to defund the police, she wants to defund the police, she wants to take away your guns. Anybody that thinks they're not going to come after your guns. You know, when I was president, I totally protected the guns and I think it's very important and I know I take some heat sometimes for it, but you have to have safety. You have to have when the bad guy walks in with a gun, you got to have some way of protecting yourself. And boy, that would be, you would see crime go up at levels that you've never seen. When people say on this side of the house, this house has guns, we will use the guns. They say let's pass, we'll go someplace else. You have to have them. Uh And for four years and you know, as you know, the NR A endorsed Me very powerfully. Every time I ran, every time my sons are members and I guess, indirectly I'm a member too, but they gave me the strongest of endorsements and that's against very strong competition. People that, you know, felt the same way. No, you have to have a, you have to have that right. Our second amendment is a very important, right? And it has to be protected. Ok. How about you? Go ahead. Yeah. So there are some of the most brilliant people on Wall Street that are saying that if President Trump doesn't win, you're going to have a depression. I have to agree. I think that's true because I know how bad these people are. You know, they like to say that they did this and that you saw the seven trillion, that they said it was me for seven trillion. It wasn't me. It was them. They said that I had inflation. They took over 9% inflation. No, no, I had 1% inflation. I had actually no inflation because if you look at the categories we had just about no inflation but I had a very minor. I actually had a positive inflation. It was a perfect number because you don't want zero. I mean, I'm not going to give you a whole course on economics but you don't want 0 1% 1.4% is great. You want a little bit because you don't want to have deflation. Deflation is in many ways even worse. I had a perfect number right around the 1% number. It was perfect and to show you it stayed there for two years and then he did all of the different borrowings that he did and then he did so many things wrong every time he would do it, I'd say big mistake. And don't forget they sell hats and they sell stories. Trump was right about everything I had been right about a lot. Yes. Maggie. Well, we had a commission like other people do and it's always complicated and it's always controversial and we had commissions that and, and I think of respected people, you know, many of the people on the commission and they would recommend to me, uh, certain pardons for certain people, some people were treated very harshly. Uh, a fantastic woman as, you know, she served 24 years for being on a phone call, having to do with drugs, you know, who I'm talking about. She was great and she had another 24 years to go and it was largely about marijuana, which in many cases is now legalized. Ok. But, but we had, but we had many very highly regarded people on a commission and they would recommend, and they put a reason why some people were, you know, served time, but they served a lot of time for something that today people wouldn't even serve time by. Well, for the most part, I think they did. I mean, they did, they go through, they went through, I had a commission. It was a very important commission to me and highly respected people. And frankly, they came up with some decisions that I wouldn't necessarily agree with. But I did it. But I let a lot of people out that were, that had representation. I went to people in jails in prison that we respected. I said, how many of these people should be let out? We let out large groups of low income people that were serving like 40 years for something that today you wouldn't even be put in jail for. We had very few people let out because I said, I really don't want to let people out where they had a lot of violence where they had killing, et cetera, et cetera. And for the most part we didn't do that. Yeah, please. On defense, uh, federal. Right. Well, look, the Federal Reserve is a very interesting thing and it's sort of gotten it wrong a lot. And, uh, he is tending to be a little bit later on things. He gets a little bit too early and a little bit too late. And, you know, that's very, largely a, uh, it's a gut feeling. I believe it's really a gut feeling and I used to have it out with him. I had it out with him a couple of times very strongly. I fought him very hard and, uh, you know, we get along fine, we get along fine but I, I feel that I feel the President should have at least say in there. Yes, I feel that strongly. I think that in my case I made a lot of money. I was very successful and I think I have a better instinct than in many cases people that would be on the Federal Reserve or the chairman. Yes. Yeah. Well, as we legalize it, I start to agree a lot more because, you know, you're being, it's being illegalized all over the country. Florida has something coming up. I'll be making a statement about that fairly soon. But as we legalize it throughout the country, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, it's awfully hard to have people all over the jails that are in jail right now for something that's legal. So, uh, I think obviously there's a lot of sentiment to doing that. Yeah, please. All of, well, you'll have to ask her that question because she's the one that said it. I didn't say it. So you'll have to ask her and I very much appreciate that question, but you'll have to ask her. But I've known her for a long time. I actually contributed to her campaign a long time ago because I was a developer. I contributed to lots of campaigns of Democrats, republicans and some were liberal and some were conservative, but you'll have to ask her about that. But to me it doesn't matter. But to her, from her standpoint, I think it's very disrespectful to both. Really. Whether it's Indian or Black. I think it's very disrespectful to me. It doesn't matter. A please. Red dress, red dress. Yeah. Pretty, pretty much recovered. Yeah. I'm a fast healer. It's a hell of a shot, but I am a fast healer. Yeah. Pretty much. Pretty much recovered. No, it didn't hit that. I got very lucky. It just, it just hit the lobe as they call it. Yeah. A little bit. Not much on top, a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Really will need why? Well, we're starting that. Yeah, we are going to start the largest mass deportation in the history of our country because we have no choice. It's not sustainable. And we are going to start with violent criminals and we're going to start then with criminals and our local police is going to work with us because they know everything about the people, they know their names, they know everything about them. They know their middle name, they know their numbers and as you know, the other side is trying, you know, look for years. I wondered why are they allowing these people to come in at levels like this? It was incredible. And I said two reasons. They are either really stupid and I don't believe they are stupid because anybody that can cheat on elections, like they cheat is not stupid. Or in the alternative, they have bad motives or they hate our country. And I used to think they hate our country. But lately I've seen where they are trying to sign these people up to vote and they have to stop. They cannot let illegal immigrants vote in this upcoming election. One more question. Go ahead. One more. Make it a good one, please. Right. We have so many ways of making money in this country. We're not going to affect our social security. We're not changing it and I approve that over four years and we're going to do it. It's very unfair to people very, they spend their life and they're great citizens and they pay in, we're not going to charge tax to our, to social security, the seniors, we're not going to do it. We're not going to charge and also tax. I say the two things, we're going to have no tax on seniors, social security and we're going to have no tax on tips. Very simple. And we are a country that has so many different ways to make money. We have, we have under our feet, more liquid gold. I call it oil and gas than any country in the world. Much more than Saudi Arabia, much more than Russia. We have so many different ways we can make money. We're not going to hurt our seniors with social security and we're not going to charge them tax. Ok. We should not have sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities is a way of protecting criminals and we should not have sanctuary cities and if you go to California and I know it. Well, I have property out there. Great property. If you go to California and you ask the people of California, do they like the idea of sanctuary cities? They don't like it. They are tired of it. They're tired of crime, they're tired of what's happened to our country. Our country has become a crime ridden mess and we're going to stop it on November 5th. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. Thank you.
