Who do you think tried to take you out?

So I'm going to give you some big breaking news.

Aaron is 18. He's handsome. He's tall. He's rich.

He's got the whole.

He's unleashed in New York City. Are you sure you want to reverse Roe v Wade now?

I'm going to make this country great again. It's not a great country right now. It's always a great country.

It's always a great country.

I'm good with names. You are.

Tampon Tim was good.

The time with Tampon Tim, it's hard to say. There are some like Amrad Kamala. It's a little hard to say. She's not bad, but when you put the names together, it's a little like you got to be able to...

So when you did it.

That was the best odd of a question.

He almost swung us out of it. Trying to get out of it. How are we doing so far?

We're doing amazing. They're making us wrap up.

We want you to look at them. Give them a little more time. What the hell? These are great questions. What the hell? But they lie, and they know it's a lie. She lied about many things, and she's a liar. I I have a hard time doing it to them. I'm basically a truthful person. Hello, everybody.

Welcome to Flagrant. Today, this is the first time that we've been able to say as we are sitting down with Mr. President. Mr. President, thank you so much for being here.

Thank you very much. Thank you, fellows. Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.

This is awesome. We have a bunch of questions. We're very, very grateful for your time. I just became a dad. My buddy over there just became a dad, Mark. That's good. Okay, so here's first question. You have these children that are seemingly well-adjusted, successful, and I think, most importantly, they appear to like you. Yeah.

Okay? They're better.

I grew up in a city, and there's a lot of people who had very wealthy parents, and the kids resent them. I was waiting for them to die, and they end up in rehabs.

Doing drugs, God knows what.

How How do you raise them in the public eye where they still become ambitious and successful?

So I do have good kids and five really wonderful children, and very different. They are so different. But one thing that was in common that I did, I always used to say when I was with them or when they were leaving a room, I would drive them crazy. No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes. I would say that.

Did you say that to Don Jr?

Yeah, Don is We're a little wild. He's a wild type. He can be a little tough.

He told me a funny story.

Go ahead. Okay.

I talked to a bunch of people. I was trying to prepare for this interview. He told me a funny story. And he said to me, he goes, once he asked if he could have a couple of his friends over for New Year's. Was it New Year? No, it was July fourth on top of Trump Tower? Five friends. And you said, yes. He's like, I want five friends. You're like, okay, I'm out of town. Go for it. He brings 200 people over to Trump Tower.

Okay? That's right.

Okay. He says that you weren't supposed to be there. You end up showing up. You hear some noise upstairs. You come up, you go, what the fuck is everybody doing here? Get the hell out of my house. He said he cleaned for the next 36 hours. And he said, To this day, you have never brought up that it even happened. And he said, I'm starting to believe it might not have happened. So can you give him closure?

No, it happened. No, I can never give closure. You can never forget. A lot of people like to forget things. You can't know. He's a good guy. He's taken a lot because he was always a good student. He went to the Wharton School of Finance, which is great, and he did well. But he went into the world of politics, not because he wanted to, but because I was there, and I automatically you drag the family in. And this guy, what he had to go through Who are the Russia, Russia, Russia. Dad, they're asking me questions about Russia. I don't know anything about Russia. What's going on? And all of a sudden, he's in front of grand juries. He's in front of Congress. It was a hoax. It was a total hoax. It was a made up hoax by crazy Nancy Pelosi and the maniacs, Hillary Clinton, who's totally nuts. And this went on for two years. And then I said, Dad, I know nothing about this stuff. And you go before the grand jury. And you have Komi, who's the worst, just a bad guy. But he went through a lot, and it actually made him tougher.

I don't know if that's good or bad, but he's a tough cookie, that one. Yeah. And in his case, it made him tougher. Ivanka did a great job. She didn't want anything. All she wanted to do is get people jobs. I would have made her the ambassador to the UN. I wanted to do that. I think she would have been incredible, the whole aura. She would have been great, but she didn't want that. And that would have been a very glamorous position. She would have been great there. All she did is go to see companies and hire people. And she hired, I think it was like 10 million people, some incredible amount of people. She'd go to Walmart, she'd go to Exxon, she'd go to these big companies and see if she could get groups of people hired. And she loved doing it. There was no glamor. There was no anything, but she got people jobs.

How do you instill the ambition in the kids? I think a lot of kids that grow up with wealth, they are lazy and they feel like they have no direction in life. And a lot of times they turn to drugs and other shit. How do you instill the ambition?

Well, I've seen a lot of wealthy families where the kids are mostly don't work out too well. Some don't turn out to be bad kids, but they end up pating the father or the father maybe wanted him in business. I mean, I have one father that's very competitive with his son. If the son were more successful than him, he would be unhappy. I said, Are you crazy? It's supposed to be the other way around. That's awesome. My father was so proud of me. He was a successful guy, but my father wanted me to be more successful. I mean, he was so proud of all the things. I wish he could have seen what happened because we did things. But he was just a proud father. What do you think? He's a much proud father. And I think most fathers are that way. I hope that. But I've known many fathers that are very successful that didn't want their... That broke up over their son's success. In the few cases where the son was more successful, which was very seldom actually. It's very seldom. You take people in sports because in sports you see it because it's a microcosm of life, but it's quicker.

And you'll take the greatest golfers and they'll have a son and he'll be really good as a young... But they never supersede, almost. I can't think of any. They never supersede the father in terms of success. And in sports, generally, baseball, you can go to a lot of different sports. And it really is a a microcosm of life. But with life, it takes a lot longer to find out the end result.

To come to fruition. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but we said you're a great father up top. First thing you say is, I've got great kids. You didn't take credit. And then your entire answer, and I thought this was really cool, your entire answer is about how great your kids are. That was a very cool thing.

Thank you. That's very nice. I think I like this interview. I think it's right. And by the way, congratulations. I hear your show is crazy monster success.

We're doing pretty good. We're interviewing your president.

Yeah. It's really good. Right in the middle of a campaign with only 29 days to go, and you're taking up-time. Just to talk about your family. We're just complimenting. You know what? It's a different world out there, you guys and some others. We had the standard television stuff for many years, and that's still... I think it's underrated now. I think it's still very important. But there's a whole new thing. Elon interviewed me on something, and And I think they said 275 million hits or listeners. That's a lot of people. That was a run.

That's a nation.

But it's a whole new different way of getting the word out.

Can I ask you a question about Elon, specifically? Is he your favorite African-American?

He's a piece of work. You know, he's a great guy. I mean, he's obviously a brilliant guy. When I saw the rocket engines come back, I said, what is that? Like a couple of years ago, you've never seen rockets go up and then they crash into the-Yeah. And I see the engines are coming back and they're landing. It's unbelievable. They're landing, and they land on a raft in the middle of the ocean someplace with a little dot, and they land right on the top of the spot.

And my wife came parallel park. I know.

Most people can't. But no, he's great. But he's got a great heart. He was with me, as you know, the other night, and we were honoring a man who got killed at a rally, Cory, firefighter, great guy. And it was a beautiful evening. But Elon went out, and he loved the crowd. He loves the country, and he's picked a side. A lot of people don't want to pick a side. I have a lot of people that are big supporters of me, but they won't go all out. They can't quite- They're scared. There's a cost. There's a cost. There is a cost, but there's also a liability. I mean, some people I respected a lot when this guy was up there doing jumping jacks. You got to vote for Trump. You got to vote for him. He was jumping high. He was jumping high. He looked quite African.

He was in good shape.

I'm looking at his waist. I'm saying, wait a minute, does he work out or something? And he had a great time. And he's not out that much. He's probably maybe a little... Would you say he's a little reclusive, possibly?

He's also busy. He's got like five different companies.

He's very busy and maybe a little reclusive. But he had the greatest time. He was saying, look at these people. We had more than 100,000 It was a record. Nobody's ever seen. And it was a celebration of a life. And it was really a mega. It was a mega deal. He was a big mega person. His family was there. And two other people that were very badly hurt were also celebrated. They were very badly hurt. They weren't actually expected to live. And they lived. And they had incredible doctors. Some of those country doctors are better than the big doctors that we spend a lot of money on. And they don't do as good, I will tell you right now. I don't want to knock anybody, but those country doctors saved two people because I was told that three- Country doctors. No, think of that. Three would be in trouble. And three were going to now, Cori, immediately. But the other two were so bad that they thought they wouldn't make it. And It was country doctors. They pulled them together. They did a great job.

Okay, so you're going back into this place where there was this assassination. They hit you. Headshot. You survived.

Yeah. It was not a good feeling.

Yeah. Are you scared? Scared, by the way.

No, I'm not scared. I have an attitude suggesting it is what it is. Does that make any sense to you guys? You do what you have to do. I felt it was important to go back. A lot of people, I guess, agreed with me because it was over 100. I think they said 108,000 people in the end. That's a lot of people. It's terrible. And I had no guitar. If you have a guitar, it's easy. If you don't have a guitar...

I thought you said Qatar.

Outside. I have guitar. I do have that. They like me very much. But I don't have a guitar. Yeah, you have a guitar. Anyway, but that was an amazing... It was amazing. I like it when somebody like Elon, who has a lot to lose, is willing to do what's right. Some people know it's right to do. And I'm not just talking about endorsements, but they don't want to do things because they're... They don't want it to cost them opportunities in the future. They want to be politically correct. Actually, they're doing a bad thing, I think, for themselves and for a lot of people they may represent. Okay.

Opening line when you walk out there. I was wondering what you were going to say. And as a comedian, there's You can see the moment.

Yeah. I think he was a hell of a comedian, by the way. I appreciate that. That's what the word is.

So I hear you go, I see the video and you go up there and you go, as I was saying. Right. Crowd goes fucking beserk or what?

They went, I would say, crazy. Yeah. I wasn't sure.

Biggest copy of experience.

I'll tell you how you have this as a comedian or even as a not as a comedian, just when you make a speech or you make some very serious statement. So we're at a very serious and somber thing because we're celebrating a life that is no longer with us. And I wasn't sure whether or not that thing... I had it in my mind for a long time. Once I said, I'm going back, which I wanted to go back I wanted to actually finish my speech, okay? When I got up, I said, Let me finish my speech. But I'm surrounded by eight very large, small men and a very wonderful woman. You saw that, yeah. But I'm around him, I guess. I said, Sir, no way. And I have blood pouring down. But I really wanted to finish my speech. I said, I think I had 50,000. I had a lot of people there. When I went down, I was embarrassed. I said, I went in front of all these people. That was my first thing. I don't want to be embarrassed. You were embarrassed?

You went down after being shot?

Well, you weren't exactly sure what the hell was happening at first.

But also you came back up with a fist rate.

That's one of the hardest pictures. No, I did. But I was also- Did you hear them say he Are you down or were you just like, I'm going? So when I got hit, I assume that... It's funny. Is it? When I was down there, it is strange. I guess now it's a little bit we can smile a little bit, but not really, because the three guys, one killed, one, two very badly hit. But when I went down, I had total realization it wasn't a surreal. They talked about a surreal. That could be a surreal experience. Like when something happens, some traumatic thing happens, people They lose focus. They have no idea where they are. I've heard many people where that happens. Something really terrible happens. It was just the opposite. I knew exactly what had happened. I got shot in the ear, and Secret Service thought I may have been shot. Actually, they were pretty sure that I was shot all over because there was a lot of blood. Just a little fact, if you get shot in the ear, it's the bloodiest place. It bleeds more than anything else. Oh, wow. Now, it's good to be shot this way, not that way.

That way, that's when it gets bad. So if I don't turn, I wouldn't be doing this right now, Gary.

Guys, I got some stand-up shows coming up for the Life Tour. These are the remaining shows of the Life Tour. This weekend, we'll be in Minneapolis and Milwaukee. We are going to Denver the following week. We have added a third show there. Also going to Cincinnati that weekend. We had a second show there. Roma, Ontario as well. We're also going to be going to Salt Lake City. We had a second show there. Reno, we have two shows. San Jose, we had a second show. Portland. And then we are wrapping up the tour, December 21st in Honolulu, Hawaii, at the Blidesdale Arena. I'm probably pronouncing that wrong. Anyway, Great. Thank you guys so much for coming out to the store. It's been absolutely incredible. Theadrushols. Com for tickets. Don't get me to buy the resellers. Go grab those. I will see you out there. Thank you so much. Peace.

Also, show dates. October 10th, we got a show tomorrow. It's sold out. You can't come. October 17th through 19th. I'm at the Stress Factory. We already sold out six shows. We're adding a seventh. Hurry up and buy those tickets. I keep telling you, it will sell out. I'm in India, essentially. It's New Jersey. These tickets are selling out like hotcakes, hot jalebi, if you will. October 17th, we had a 4:30 PM show. That's how crazy it is. Buy those fucking tickets. I said the 17th, I meant the 19th. Also, 25th, 26th, I'm in Richmond, Virginia. Hurry up and buy those tickets. November first and second, buy those tickets. I'm in Lexan in Kentucky. All those dates are at occapsing. Com. Also, I'm still at fan bases doing the damn thing. If you want to place your bets with Steak. I'm going to get pics from betting experts. You suck at gambling. Be honest with your sofa once in your life. You ain't one shit in your life. And I know this because I probably know sports more than most of you all, and I still be losing. So I just steal these guys' pics because they're professional cappers, they call them.

That means they're professional gamblers. It's a little euphemism. Anyway, I'm also going to talk some sports on there. We're going to live stream this Thursday, do a little live stream in the Thursday night football game. We're just going to have some fun, talk some sports. If you miss that, come see me, fan basis. Let's get back to the show.

My son, Dawn, told me, actually, he's a great shooter. So is Eric. They're great shooters. They're better than Scratch, okay? If you use that. And they say it's amazing because it was 130 yards. To me, that sounds like far away, but it's not. For shooting, it's not. He said, that would be like sinking a one-foot put for We're just a decent shooter. And I don't know if you guys are shooters, but they said, if you're a shooter, it's almost impossible to miss. It's that close. It's really considered that close. I mean, 300, 400, 500 yards is very doable, but this is supposed to be very close. And so he said, I think Don became more religious, actually, you want to know that it had a big impact. He said, It's impossible. The doctor, actually, when I got to the hospital, they were a fantastic Butler hospital. I get there and the doctor greeted me and looked at me and looked it over. He said, You are the luckiest man I've ever met. He said, You should immediately go out and buy a lotto ticket. Can you imagine? He's telling me to buy a lot of tickets.

There's blood all over the place. And he said, I've been doing this for 25 years. I said, I've never seen a thing like this because it just whacked it. But it was something that was It was relatively not so bad compared to what could have happened. So I feel very lucky. It was an amazing experience, a horrible experience in most ways. In some ways, it was beautiful It was beautiful because I was somehow, hopefully, Cory is protected, too, who is the firefighter, and he's in a good place, maybe a better place than we're in here because this world is a little bit on the tough side. But it was an amazing experience.

Do you feel like an increase in your spirituality after something?

Well, maybe, especially when I'm hearing from people that do shoot and are good at it, that it was almost impossible to miss from a one-foot put. You start to break it. You got to miss it. That's a bad put, right? Yeah. He equated it to a one foot put. When they say that, I say, well, you're saying they said a bad shooter would hit you from that distance a hundred % of the time. That's pretty good. And here I am. We're doing this wonderful interview with four geniuses that are hot as pistols, right? Get a hair on this guy. Likewise, sir. It's pretty good stuff you got. But here we are.

Who do you think tried to take you out?

So I'm going to give you some big, breaking news, right? I love that. Because I know the show and it's entertainment, but it's also very serious. I mean, I get the whole picture. And you know what? If it was just funny stuff, you wouldn't have the success you've got, to be honest with you, right? It's nice to intersperse it, but I'll give you something. So first of all, I have great respect for the Secret Service. And the guys that were with me, I went down and I did a good job going down because those bullets were winging over my head. If I would have been up for another couple of seconds, I also wouldn't have been there. But I didn't consider that as lucky as turning to the right at that one. It was like one-sixtenth of a second It was the only time that I was safe, essentially. If I would have gone a little further, I would have been hit. If I would have gone not as far, I would have been hit. I mean, I had this little tiny moment. And the amazing thing is the sign is always on my left, and it's always at the end.

And I only use it 20 % of the time, maybe even less than that. This was a chart on immigration because I have the record. I did a great job in immigration. They are not doing too well right now. Stay on the breaking news. Stay So here's the breaker. So you have this shooter and you have another shooter, right? So this shooter had three or so cell phones. The FBI has never gotten them opened. The other shooter, 3 Apps, they call them. And I believe they were foreign-based apps, from what I understand. Oh, wow. They haven't opened them, and they're foreign-based. And you hear all about Iran because I was rough with Iran, but I want to see Iran do great. I want to see Iran do great. But I want to stop all the killing and all this. And I was rough on Iran, and they supposedly have a hit on me. In fact, I think it takes great courage for you people to be interviewing me because it could be now.

Well, we didn't know that before we got in here.

If you would have known that, you might not have done this.

Exactly.

In fact, this is a good way of be getting the interview to be short. All of a sudden, he's going to say, Okay, that's it. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

We'll see my daughter.

They have three apps and foreign-based, two of them, maybe three of them are foreign-based. They haven't opened them yet. Why wouldn't you open them when you hear about Iran or when you hear about foreign? Then the other one had six cell phones, and they haven't opened. Now, it's very hard to open a cell phone. Only Apple can do it in theory, unless you have somebody. But they had no problem getting the J6 people cell phones open. They opened their cell phones very quickly. We have two countries countries in a way. What's happening here is very bad. It's very dangerous. We almost had one because I had the greatest economy in the history of our country, and people were coming together. We almost had one, but we really do have two right now, and it's a shame because I think we'll get them together. Success will bring us together. But they should get those phones opened. And when there's an assassination attempt on a former President who's now, I'm proud to say, leading in all the polls against the Democrat, I don't know which one is running. You don't know what the hell is going on.

I'm the only one that had to run against two. I run against two Democrats. But this is a first. We create a lot of first. Usually, you run against somebody. Here I run. I had to debate. I was way up on him. And then they say, oh, let's put... This is like with Dana White, a fighter. So you're fighting and the one guy is getting killed, and they say, oh, that's okay. Let's put in another fighter to finish it off. You're fighting. You say, hey, wait a minute. I have a brand new fighter in here. I spent $150 million on beating Biden. And then all of a sudden I hear that they're going to overthrow him. It was a coup. I mean, it really was. But I would like them to open up these apps and find out what's in there. And so he had six, six cell phones. Who has six cell phones? Having six cell phones is weird. I have cell phones. If I ever have two, it's like a lot. He had six cell phones. Why does he have them? And why haven't they opened up those cell phones? So if you had to guess.

And it's It's different. If you're a drug dealer, I think it's terrible in many ways, but I guess from another standpoint, Apple, the primary group, people buy those ones because they will never open them for any reason. But they got them open. But they got them open. J6. They opened up their phones, but they don't open. And this is big stuff. This is an assassination attempt, and it could involve other countries.

There was that Sam Bernadino shooter that they hack. The FBI was able to hack into the phone. Apple didn't give it up, but they were able to hack in.

There are some people in the world, very few, that have an ability to sometimes be able to hack in. Got it. Very rarely, actually. It's an amazing thing when you think that with all the genius, you almost can't do it. But Apple has a key, and the key is open. I mean, they can do it immediately, but they don't do it. And they don't do it. And that's one of the reasons that, I hate to say it, drug lords feel very confident that they'll never be exposed. And they use their cell phones, their Apple phones. They're Apple phones, and maybe it's that way with other companies. I don't know. They have Samsung, they have other companies, but it's very hard. Apple is very strong on that. But when it comes to the assassination of a President, leading candidate, former president, all that, I think the rules have to go out and they have to open those things, then they have to find out. In terms of national security. Somebody would say you have to either punish Apple or you have to get somebody that can do it. But in terms of national security, so the one guy has six phones, lots of messages to people.

Who are those people he's calling when he's hiding behind the Bush?

So if you had to guess, I'm sure you thought, obviously you thought about this a lot. It's an assassination attempt. If you had to guess, who do you think is responsible?

These are great questions. What the hell? I don't get these questions from the fake news. Yeah. Rosie O'Donnell is not asking this. Like deface the Nation. They have the woman, Brennan. She's on deface the Nation. She was terrible with the way she handled JD Vents, who did a great job the other night. He did a great job. I don't get questions like that. Did you ever hear of the show? Deface. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Donald Trump on deface the Nation. It's called Face The Nation. They hate me. They spend millions of dollars. I was like, They would name a show that? Oh, I see. You didn't hear of it. That's good. They spend millions of dollars on the name, CBS. And then I come along and I say, It's Face The Nation. Or Meet the Fake Press. You're good at this. I say, Meet the Fake Press. And they spend all this money. And then I say it once and it goes to millions of people. But no, they are fake. But some of these questions are much better. Well, thank you.

I appreciate that. I'm honored.

Much better.

You still haven't answered, though.

That was the best thought of a question.

That was almost as your second best thought.

You know what I'm trying to do? He almost charmed us out of it. I'm trying to get out of it. All right, fair enough. Well, look, if you look at assassinations or attempts, first of all, you realize I'm in a very dangerous business. Yeah. Okay. Because one one-tenth... Think of this. One-tenth of one % of auto races die. Bull riders. I think that's pretty dangerous, right? I don't know much about it, but I think I wouldn't want to be on one of those suckers. I see them flying off and the hoof is like an inch from the eye. And when it hits the eye, you're gone, right? Yeah. They are very... Well, it's about the same. One-tenth of one %. And other things, it's never much more than that. That's It's maxed out, I think. Race car drivers, bull riders, I think that's pretty much tough. Ufc fighters, it's none. I don't think anyone's ever actually-Non-UFC.

In MMA or boxing, it was those tragic events.

Amazingly, Boxers die a lot. But UFC, Dana tells me it's a safe sport. I say, to me, it's much rougher. But it's pretty amazing. In UFC, they've never lost. And they run a great operation. Nobody's died. But with presidents, it's like a substantial percentage.

Way higher than we realized.

When you look at Lincoln and Kennedy and this and that. Attempts, Reagan. You go through McKinley. Yeah, Garfield. You look at a lot of people. I'm in a very dangerous What is it? Profession. I call it a profession. Yes. I'm in a dangerous profession. I like that. I'm sitting with you guys. You have a very nice, safe life. Me? Yeah. So no, if you said 5 %. I think he called it soft. I'm one of that. Yeah, but think of it, 5 % That's a lot. That's high. That's a lot.

I think even the attempts is something like 25 % of presidents have had attempts.

Attempts is getting into a really crazy number. It's crazy. So people don't think of that. You run and you see and then you win and you're down Pennsylvania, you're looking at everything. So you're in a dangerous place. That's where the danger starts. And so it's one of those things. I was saying before, though, that I do a thing called a weave. And there are those that are fair that say, this guy is so genius. And then others would say, oh, he rambled. I don't ramble. If I saw the story, what you do is you weave things and you do it. You have to have certain things. You need an extraordinary memory because you have to come back to where you started. A weave is only good. He would give you credit for that. You can go all the way over here and then get back. I can go so far here or there, and I can come back to exactly where I started. Now, someday when you don't come back to where you started, then you say, But the weave is the way when you're telling like a story. I was telling a story at a rally the other day in front of thousands of people, and I started off and then something in the story, I actually mentioned Air Force One.

It was Air Force One was taken. So I mentioned Air Force One, and then I said how I got $1.6 billion off the price of Air Force One. But then you have to come back to the story. Where was Air Force One taken? So anyway, I do a weave. I call it The Weave. And some people I think it's so genius, but the bad people, what they say is, he was rambling.. This is The Weave. This is The Weave. I call it The Weave. Good name. I'm not sure. That's another name. We had fake news. We came up with lots of names. But The Weave I think we should make the weave a part of that stable.

Yeah, you're really wean away answering my question twice.

That was brilliant. I don't even want to know the answer anymore.

I lost interest. Let's weave back to his question. This is Wait, this is where it started. We'll weave back to it. So I hate answering it because I don't want to give any false identities. I don't want to do anything having to do with creating something that isn't there. You would look at Iran. Iran has an open threat out for me, and that's bad. And Biden, if he were a real President, if he were the guy he should be, should say, if anybody When somebody shoots a former President who's now the leading candidate, even though he's leading against Democrats, we will bomb that country into oblivion, and it would stop. And that's been said before with some people. There have been people, I won't go into it, but there have been people that have been threatened in another party, even. In the same party, it makes sense and probably happens pretty quickly. But in another party, it's hard for them to To cross the line. To want to protect me. But it shouldn't be hard. Other people have protected other people. And what you have to inform those people is if they do it, the country will be blown to smithereens.

The entire country will be blown to smithereens. And those threats go away because that's a really bad threat for a country. Forget about me. I'm an individual, but I represent something very important. That's a really terrible threat. So there are others that could be in that category. Look, I took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China at a level that no President took in anything. I had tariffs on China, took in hundreds of billions of dollars. They're still there. That without me, they wouldn't have those tariffs. So you could say, but no, I think Iran would be the one.

All right, guys, let's take a break for a second because we got to shout out the greatest law firm in America, Morgan & Morgan, America's largest personal injury law firm. For over 35 years, they've been fighting and winning for the people just like you and me. They want so much that they've racked up more than $20 billion in recoveries for their clients.

I was tough with other countries, but I got along very well with them. But we were like a pussy cat. We were ripped off by every nation in the world. And some of the worst rippers were our so-called allies, countries that we supposedly get along with us with. But they're the ones that took advantage of us on trade at a level like... I mean, I ended some of the dumbest trade deals I've ever seen and made them much better for the country. I mean, what difference does it make? I took a terrible trade deal. It would make it a good trade deal. But like Japan, I redid the trade deal. South Korea, I did the trade. The deals. I went to Abbey of Japan. I said, Shinzo, he was assassinated. He was as you probably know. He was incredible. Great man. He was a great leader for the people. They loved him. I said, Shinzo, look, we can't do this. The Trade deal is so bad. We're friends, but I have to renegotiate the Trade deal. And he said to me, I knew that would happen. I said, Why did you know? Because you're right.

It's so one-sided. He said, I knew you'd catch us. But they went through many presidents where Japan was... As an example, they'll send us millions of cars. We're not allowed to send them any. They send us their farm product. We were sending them practically nothing. It was like a one The way, everything was one way. And by the way, virtually every China was the worst, but there were many countries almost as bad. The European Union was almost as bad, in my opinion. It sounds nice. Oh, the European Union is so nice. They were ruthless in their trading. And I said to Angela Merkel, How many Chevrolet's do we have in the middle of Berlin? Why? I don't believe any. I said, You're right. And yet we take in all of that. We take in Mercedes Benz, BMW, and we take in all of this Volkswagen. We're taking in all of these millions and millions of cars. I said, How many American cars are in the middle of Munich or Berlin? And the answer is none. And I had things change around. So you could see, I think that the answer would be, at this moment, Iran.

And I think they could catch him. And if we had a real President, which we don't, we don't have a real President. We have a man that is grossly inept, and it's very dangerous because these guys are all at the top of their game. When you talk about President Xi and you talk about any one of the leaders in the world, Macron, he's a smart guy. He's all for France. He would take the shirt off your back if you didn't know what you were doing. So when you're with these guys, are these guys all sharks?

Yeah. And you can sense the energy immediately?

Yeah, not all of them, but some of them aren't sharks in terms-How are you He's a processing personality. Okay, well, I can tell you. Great. Modi, India. He's a friend of mine. He's great. He's the nicest- India. This is for you. Oh, good. Well, I'll tell you, do you like him or not?

Do you like him? I have family on both sides. I have family that loves everything and family is not.

I'll just tell you though. You need him. Well, before him, they were replacing him every year. It was very unstable. He came along. He's in a lop. He's great. He's a friend of mine. But on the outside, he looks It was like, he's your father. He's the nicest total killer. Because I asked him. We're talking. They did a thing called Howdy Moody in Houston, Texas. And they filled up the stand. It was me and him. We filled up the stand. It was beautiful. Like, 80,000 people was going crazy. Then we're walking around today. Maybe you wouldn't do that. We're walking in the middle, waving to everybody. Anyway, but We have a very good relationship. He's the nicest human being. But we had a couple of occasions where somebody was threatening India. I said, Let me help. I'm very good with those people. Let me help. I will do it. I will do it. Then I will do anything necessary. We've defeated them for hundreds of years. He was talking about a certain country. You can probably guess the country. You can't fathom which. But I said, whoa, what happened there? What happened? So they're all tough and they're all smart.

And some are very good people. He's a good person. There's some are good people and some aren't good people. But they're all at the top of their game. And we have her who is now more important than him, I guess, although he's still President of this country. We're talking about nuclear war. He's not capable. He doesn't even know what it is. He said yesterday when they talked about, should they hit Iran's It's nuclear. No, no, you shouldn't do that. It's just the opposite because the nuclear is the biggest threat we have in the world today. It's not global warming where the oceans are rising one eighth of an inch in the next 500 years. The threat that we have, the biggest threat is nuclear war.

You seem concerned about that.

I am because it only takes one. I am. Very true. There are five countries now that have capability, and soon they'll have more. And we shouldn't let there be more. And I was at a point, very good, despite the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, it was a total hoax. So we were totally exonerated and everything else. I could have told them that the first day. But that causes a lot of problems, a lot of problems. And they're a big nuclear power. We were close to a deal for getting rid of nuclear weapons. It would be so good.

For all countries or just Russia?

We were talking about Russia, ourselves, and China. Oh, wow. And we would then bring everyone else into it strongly.

So you all would get rid of your nuclear capabilities?

Denucleotides, yes. We were going to get rid of nuclear. Totally denucleotides. Because it It's too powerful. It's too much. My uncle, Dr. John Trump, was- Country doctor. Yeah. Dr. John Trump. Well, he was a nuclear doctor, actually. He was at MIT. He's the longest-serving professor at MIT. He passed away. Great guy. He was a brilliant guy, a brilliant scientist. And he used to tell me, he said, a long time ago, he'd say, Donald, someday it's very dangerous. Somebody will be able to carry a small brief case into a building in New York and blow up the entire scene. I said, you got to be kidding me, Uncle John. That will never happen. He was a really brilliant guy. He was there for, I think, 41 years. He's the longest-serving professor in the history of MIT. Too. Oh, wow. So when I understand physics and when I understand things well, they say, how come you... There's good genetics. I'm a believer. Are you guys believers in it? Were your parents funny? Were they comedians?

Yeah. My mom's side is Scottish.

Fellow Scottish, yeah.

Scottish women tend to be pretty. You know my mom- Yeah.

I was going to ask you about that. And she was great.

Is that where you get your humor from?

Well, I tell you what, England at the time, they fought them for a thousand years trying to get a under toe. They couldn't do it. They couldn't do it. They're very tough. That reminds me of my mother, come to think of it. My mother was great. She was a storm away. The Hebrides, right? That's really serious Scottish. But she was great. But it is true when you see Braveheart, that was one of many times. For hundreds of years- Did you watch that with your mom by any chance? No, I didn't. I'll tell you, I saw Braveheart. I think Mel Gibson is a very good guy. I've met him a number of times. Good guy, but out there, that was super Mel Gibson in his prime. Oh, yeah. And I was on a plane, and there was absolutely nothing to do. It was one of these planes that you couldn't make calls, you couldn't do... And they had tapes.

That's all planes for us.

And they showed me, Sir, we have 20 tapes. And I looked at the tapes, and this was like 20 years after it was made. This was probably six years ago. I never saw The Braveheart. Okay. And they showed me a tape. I said, All right, let's put that one on. And within about four minutes, they said, This may be the greatest movie I've ever been. That's incredible. Within four minutes. No, I'm not a Braveheart fan, but you've seen it.

Oh, dude, I saw it with my mom.

She was emotional for like a week. I wish I saw it with my mother.

Was that your braveheart moment? Like after getting shot when you stood up? No, no.

You don't think of that in those moments. You do what you do.

Thank God you weren't thinking about Mel Gibson. Wasn't.

No, but he was good. In primetime, he was unbelievable. His look, his way, you couldn't have had a better guy playing it. But that was a great movie. But it is to England. Scalaful for years. At the time, for a thousand years, and they'd have the battles with thousands or once a thousand, and they run at each other. Tell me that. You think that takes guts? They run at each other. I think so. Knowing they're going to pretty much die, right?

The Roman army built walls to keep out the Scotish when they were up in the air.

Yeah, they were afraid of the Scotch. They were afraid. The Scottish people, they're tough people. They're good people. Actually, they're very great people, but they're good fighters.

But your mom was funny.

She was funny.

That's what I hear.

I hear shoes. She had a great sense of humor. And my father loved my mother. They were married for- Polar opposites, though? Yeah. My father was German. Serious. Serious, but good. He was a tough guy, but he had a good heart. When he walked down the street, and they would say, We could walk down the street, he would always give something to... If there was somebody that had problems, he used to have the can and a pencil, the can. My father would always put $100 in that thing. He'd always do it. Now, he had a tremendous heart, but he was a tough guy. He was tough. He was just like no nonsense. It was firm. My mother was a woman, and I don't know how your mother felt, but she loved the Queen. Don't forget, the Queen was great. Oh, would she have liked... Because the Queen honored me before she died. She honored me as the President in Buckingham Palace. And there's nobody that does it like the English. There's nobody that has the pomp and ceremony. But my mother would love that. Your mother, so did she feel strongly about the royalty?

I think they're obsessed with the royal family family out there, in general.

Your mother would have been.

She was really into all the pageantry, for sure.

My mother was. My mother thought the Queen was great. She thought the Queen was so wonderful.

Some of my family hates the English, though. I know. There's some history there.

I know. But a lot of the... It's a hard break up. They tried to break up Scotland from the rest of the Empire, so to speak. Because they got some oil. And it made it by about a half a point. They kept it together. So I hope it stays together. I hope it always stays together. But England, as they say, because it used to be England, but England never could... And they were bigger. They had more people. They could never finish it off by capturing Scotland. So it's really...

They ended up having to marry together.

They married. They became subsidiaries, right? Yes. But it was great. That's interesting with your mother.

So you can go do that right now. We appreciate you tapping in, locking in. And when you do your gamble, you're doing with our partner, Stake. Thank you so much. Let's get back to the show. Okay, so the humor. So the humor comes from there, maybe some other things, because I think that's one thing that there's bipartisan support for you is even the people that are like, I don't like that guy will go, Hey, he's funny now. He says the funny things. Have you heard this before, Ben?

Yeah, I've heard it.

It's very disarming humor.

Yeah, but in my business, in what I do, if you don't have humor, you won't even survive. Why is that? Because I think you have to have a light side. I see a lot of dark things. I see horrible things. I see things that are bad. I see political things that are hard. We have a lot of corrupt people in this country, and I see it, and horrible corrupt people. We have people that... I really do. From the inside, we have really bad people, and outside The outside we do, but I think the outside is... But I think it's easier to handle China. If you have a smart President who knows some things, who knows how to deal, let's say, you're not going to have a problem with Russia. Russia would have never attacked Ukraine if I were President. I used to talk to Putin about it. I got along great with him. They would have never, ever done it. I ended this pipeline. I ended the pipeline called Nord Stream 2. Nobody ever heard of Nord Stream 2. Yeah. I said, Are you building a pipeline going to Europe? I said, I don't think so.

And I got them together. I said, You mean we're defending you from Russia and you're paying them billions of dollars a month for oil? It's not going to work that way. And I ended it. And then when Biden came in, he gave it back. The biggest project they ever had, right? He gave it back. And then everyone said, Trump is friends with Putin. Putin would say, If you're my friend, I'd hate like hell to see you as my enemy. Think of it. And I put a lot of sanctions on. But I got along with Russia. I got along with pretty much everybody. Actually, the tougher they were, the better I did with them. That's a good thing, not a bad thing, because the other ones are easier to handle. But the ones that I got along I'm wrong with. And they're also the bigger threats. I got along very well with President Xi of China. But when COVID came, I was not happy with him because it came out of the labs. They released it from accidentally, I believe. A lot of people would say it wasn't an accident, but they got hit very hard.

They got hit as hard as anybody in the world. It was late. It was belated. It was a late hit. But when COVID came, I made an unbelievable trade deal with China. They have to buy 50 billion dollars of our product every year. Nobody could believe I got that deal done. I don't even talk about it because of COVID. I don't even talk about it. That deal is unbelievable. And what's happened now, our farmers have been hit because Biden hasn't pressed them to honor the deal. Every day, I'd get up, how much in China buy today? Sir, I'd call them up and say, you're behind. You have to buy 50 billion. Do you think Biden does that? Biden is sleeping. But over the last week, I have what we talk about funny or sad. I think it's more sad than funny. He has one ability I don't have. He sleeps. He can sleep. This guy goes on a beach and he lays down on one of those six-ounce... They weigh six ounces and you can't lift it. They're meant for children, young people, and old people to lift. Aluminum, hollowed aluminum. They weigh very little, and he can't lift.

And somebody convinced him he looks great in a bathing suit. And when you're 82, typically bathing suits aren't going to make you look great. You're not going to be enhanced. All right? It's just one of those things. I can't be sure about that, but typically-Depends what he's packing. He could have it like that. I don't know what the hell he's packing, and I don't want to know either. I don't know. But he has an ability to fall asleep while on camera. He can lie down on one of those things, and in minutes, he's stone cold out. How does he do it? And he's got cameras because he's the President, so they have cameras on him. And then they show him sleeping on the beach. You'll never see me sleeping in front of How do we get you better at that?

What can we do? How do we work on that as a country?

As a country? We're going to save our country. We are a nation in decline, whether you like it or not. I hate hearing that.

I know.

I hate it.

That hurts me. That hurts me. As a proud American, I- Well, what you like, though, is, but we're going to be greater than ever before. So that's, I think, the messaging that I think. I think that's really nice to hear.

That's my ultimate message. But you can't avoid the fact that we've allowed 21 million people into our country in the last three and a half years. And I don't know your persuasion. I don't know if you guys are liberal or what, but nobody can be happy with 21 million people openly walking into our place. We don't know. And it was released last week that 13,000 of those people are murders, 13,099. 13,000 of those people are in prison. They're incarcerated for murder, and they let them out.

I think you have support on this, though. I I think everybody- Tremendous support.

Regardless- I'll let you know on November sixth if I have support. The day after the election. November fifth, the most important day.

I think people are agreeing they want a strong border. I don't think that's an issue that's tearing the country apart. But I do think that there is something- There are some people that want to open, and they're either- But they're like politicians that are getting some reinforcement through this. The average American, I don't think is going, we hate our country.

I think only a person That's something that hates our country, actually. Maybe it's a down deep hatred, can want open borders. So we took in more than 21 million people in the last three and a half years, and we have no idea where they even come from. They're terrorists, they're drug dealers, You know in Venezuela, and it's not just South America, but take Venezuela, they've taken their criminals off the streets of Caracas, which was a very dangerous city. You couldn't walk across the street in Caracas and get a loaf of bread. Right now, it's a safe city. Their crime is down 72 %. They've taken all of their criminals, almost all of them, and they brought them into the United States and dumped them. That's not ending well. You know where some of them went to Aurora in Colorado, and they took over the town. They took it over. The whole town? Oh, pretty much. You know how they took it over with guns? If they went into the real estate business like me, I had to go to a bank and borrow. They went in with MK47. So they went in with- It would have been so much We weapons like nobody's ever seen before.

They went in with military style weapons. They've taken it over.

I think most people on board with deporting any illegal that has committed a crime. I think there's bipartisan support of that. I think the tricky thing comes, and honestly, I have empathy. You're a business owner. There's been people, I'm not trying to out you, but there's been people I'm sure that might not have had legal citizenship that have maybe worked in various businesses. I've definitely been taken care of as a kid by people that weren't legal, babysitter's and stuff. So there are people that maybe would like a path to citizenship that I have a lot of empathy for.

You have to start with the criminals. I agreed. Okay. Look, I had to say. It's very tough.

Maybe we can open our hearts a little bit to the people who are trying to be good hardworking Americans.

You know what's going to happen? You're going to be in the midst of this. Now, Dwight Eisenhower was a moderate, General Eisenhower. Did you know that they had 8% generals, President of the United States, 8% were generals, 92% were politicians, and then you had Trump. See, that's a weave. We go off and just- I like that.

Because now, where are we weaving to?

I'm into this. No, no, no. Think of it because we're talking about generals, and then you get back on to the general. There you go. Because what I was going to say is that Eisenhower is a moderate. I like the play by play for the week. No, it's good, though. Isn't it great? We go into it, we mention Eisenhower, and then I say he was a general, 8 % generals, 92 %, and now you go back. Okay, it's part of the week. Then you go back? No, you got to keep it all together. You got to be sharp. If you're not sharp, you're dead. Think of it. No, but think of it. So we have 92 % and eight %. No admirals and no business people until me. So now we have me. I'm one.

And then maybe things change after that.

Okay, here's- No, I think it will change. There'll never be another business person that ever does this. Okay, here's a question. Because I've been treated so badly that I think that no person of success Don't forget, my whole life was deals, deals, deals, deals, deals, deals, deals. Most guys are stiffs. Like, they'll run for office. There's no deal. There's no nothing. You can't get yourself in trouble much. You can be a crooked politician, some are. But basically, I do so many deals. I do hundreds of thousands of pages of documents a year when I'm really in the mood, right? And if they find one page, I got myself a problem politically. Look at it. They went after me for years taxes. Years. They went to the United States Supreme Court. I gave them tens of thousands of pages, and you never heard about it again.

Well, that is what often happens, which is probably incredibly frustrating, which is lobbying an allegation And then when it's proven to be false, they just move on.

They don't even write about it. I called the New York Times or something. I was right. And they said, are you going to do- The Russian thing was wild. Yeah, the Russian hoax. Well, I'm suing Pulitzer. You don't know this. They got a Pulitzer Prize for their New York hoax. For the hoax? Washington Post. Oh, wow. Yeah, for the hoax. They got the Pulitzer Prize. So the writers got Pulitzer prizes for their brilliant coverage of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. Interesting. It turned out to be right. So we wrote a letter to the Pulitzer Prize, the committee. It's a big foundation. And we said, it's a lawsuit that's going on right now. And we said, We demand that you take back the Pulitzer Prize as we demand that you take back the Pulitzer prizes. We demand a apology because you're actually, by leaving them, you're saying it happened, and it didn't happen. Everybody now is giving it up. You're rewarding the lie. So I sued them. They said, Well, we did what we did. Okay, that's okay. That's all right. So I sued them. And they've got themselves a big problem now. And this suit is moving along.

And I think we're going to win that suit easily because they gave people Pulitzer Prizes that were wrong. You know who should get the Pulitzer Prizes equivalent? If you could, guys like Sean Hannity, guys like... There were numerous of them that I mean, not as many as the fake news as the very liberal media. But we had tremendous John Solomon. He's a great writer. So many people knew that that was a hoax. They should get prizes. I don't know, Pulitzer Prize. You don't give Pulitzer prizes to a guy on television. You can't get, in theory, a Pulitzer prize. But you had a lot of people that got that right. They got nothing. So we sued Pulitzer on the basis that they should absolutely take that prize back. And I said, by not taking it back, you're trying to say that it actually happened in a way. I'm saying you're defaming me because by you not taking those prizes back, you're actually saying it happened.

Now, let's get back to the Now, I have a question because I know we have a limited time, but important thing.

How are we doing so far? You're doing great.

You're doing amazing. They're making us wrap up.

We want you for long. I bet it to my people. I do have other things. I know you're busy. How interesting is this stuff? See, this is the fun stuff. Alex is a good kid. He's an influencer. Yeah, he's a good kid. I asked him, I said, Alex, let me ask you a question. Sure. I wasn't even thinking about myself.

You're not telling him he got time now.

I said, Who is... Give him a little more time. What the hell? Can I override Alex? I don't know. Unlike Biden, he can't. I can't. I can say, Alex, I'm doing it. He said, Thank you, sir. They turned the cameras off with this guy. Do you ever see it? The cameras are off, the lights go off. Everyone just still in the room. He said, We're in no job. But I'll tell you what, I asked Alex, he's an influencer. He's a big name influencer. I don't know if he's in this league. I don't know who the hell is. But I said to him, knowing nothing about influences, I said, who is the biggest of all the influences, sir? That's the easiest question you've ever asked me. Who is it? You, sir. I said, you. I never thought of it. He said, you're the biggest. You have hundreds of millions of people. You have more people than anybody else before. Before they took away, I went from having 280 million on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram, the three of them combined, 280. I think I was number one because Zuckerberg told me that. He came to the White House He said, Congratulations, you're number one on Facebook.

So I went from that to having nobody. That was cold turkey, right? You'd call that cold turkey. That would be like if we didn't do business with China. One day I They had no more business with China. You go cold turkey, right? And I went and I said, boy, but I had a lot to say. This was after the presidency, of course. They do it after the presidency. During the presidency, they're a little bit... They're very nice. But anyway. But they I went totally off. I had nobody, and I had all these ideas, and I couldn't get the word out. And I had some good thoughts, and people wanted to hear my thoughts. And I did a thing called Save America. Essentially, it was like the old fashioned. You guys are far too young. In the old days, what we did, we didn't have tweeting or we didn't have truth. Truth is doing great, by the way. Would you please use truth? I love truth. Use truth, everybody. It's my voice. But I also use it. I also use X. But I went from having all these people, and I did an old fashioned press release.

We used to go to press release. And somebody would write up something. He sent it to all the periodicals. And I started doing it, Save America. And they got longer and better and longer and started doing it. And, man, I had millions of people. Now, nobody else could do that because if somebody puts out a press release, it just doesn't work out too well. But I did it, and it did well. And then I did truth. And I'm very good friends with Elon, and we owe Elon a lot for what he's done with X. And I use X, too. I use X, too. But my voice is on truth, and it's done really well. I mean, if I want to get something out, I put it on truth, and everybody picks it up. That's the thing.

You put it there, and then you see other people.

No, it's picked up all over the place. It's picked up. I could be on anything I want, but I put it out on truth, and it just gets picked up all over the place. So it's been very good. But he said I was the number one influencer. See? The weave. The weave is great.

Okay, question, question. Okay, you've got your son, Barron.

Do you think I'm the number one influencer?

I think it's Rogan. You And Kim Kardashian. Kim Kardashian influences the shape of women's bodies and faces. You see so many...

Their literal shape of human beings. Do they want to look like her?

They want to look like her. So once we start seeing dudes, one to look like you. And I see young Jack over there. I think he's trying to do it.

You're TikTok Jack. Tiktok Jack. Tiktok Jack. Tell me, this is a little New World. His name is Jack. I call him TikTok Jack. I'm good with names. You are. You're very good at it. You are. You're a Pocahontas. What about...

And there was tampon, Tim was good.

What about- The problem with tampon, it's hard to say. Yeah. In other words- It's a mouthful. It's a lot. And you can't stutter it through when you follow. It's really a lousy word to say, but it's quite accurate, right? There are some like Kamala Kamala. It's a little hard to say. She's Kamala because she's obviously a Communist. She's horrible. So I call her Kamala. And it's not bad. But when you put the names together, it's a little... You got to be able to... No, you got to be able to put it out there. But we have a lot of good rules. A lot of them I can't go into with you because some of my best ones- Give me some. Some of my best ones are from the Republican primaries. They're all friends of mine now.

You got to be nice. What about Mike Pence? You got anything for Mike Pence?

Well, it's a shame because he and I had a very good relationship. What happened to him? Hanging out somewhere. He couldn't cross the line of doing what was right, in my opinion. Some people would disagree with that, but he had the right to go and put them before the legislature legislatures and have them reassess because they found out a lot of bad things. And he had a lawyer that said he didn't have that right, but he did have that right. And you know why we found out that that was true? Because they changed the law after the election so that he couldn't do what I said. He could do. They changed the law so that a vice President could no longer do what I said he could do. In other words, I turned out to be right. But it's a shame. We had a very good relationship for 99.9% cent of the thing. And I think he's a good man. I think he's a good man. Unfortunately, I wish he would have had the stamina, maybe courage, maybe both, to go further because we have to have honest elections in our country. And if we're afraid to challenge an election, we're in big trouble.

They say, if you challenge... They've challenged elections to Democrats. Look at Maxine Warners. How dare that... They've challenged Challenge, Stacey Abrams, almost all of the Democrats challenge. But when we challenge, they say, he's a threat to democracy. These are con artists, and they're very bad for our country. So I'm going to weed them out. I'll do it in honor of you. Okay.

So tell me this. Tell me this situation. Okay. Darren is 18. He's handsome. He's tall. He's rich.

He's got the whole ball.

He's unleashed in New York City. Are you sure you want to reverse Roe v Wade now? I mean, maybe give him a few years.

It's up to the States now. It's up to the States because I have, and I believe in exceptions and all of the different things.

You've been vocal about that.

I've been very well. Would you try to influence? I think a lot of people agree with me. It was very, very strong, very, very tough. And Republicans were going to lose a lot of elections having to do with a lot of other things, too, because there are many issues. We have the border, we have this, we have wars, we have everything. And Roe v Wade was always about getting it back to the States. And then people started talking about the number of weeks and all these. But nobody wanted no legal scholar, no Democrat, no Republican, liberal, conservative. Nobody wanted it in the federal government. It shouldn't be in the federal government. And the legal scholars, it was apparent they didn't want it, and they didn't want it in the federal government. And it was in the federal government. I know you said that. What we did is we moved it back to the States and a vote of the people. And now they're voting. Ohio voted a very liberal... Ohio, I won Ohio by a lot, but they voted, and it's up to them. Okay, I do believe in exceptions. Life of the Mother, rape and incest.

If your daughter is robbed by somebody, let's say he's from a prison someplace and he's killed people and everything else. Absolutely. You have to be able to do. There are some people, and I think that group is smaller and smaller when they realize what's going on. But there are some people that under no circumstances can you do it. I don't happen to agree. Ronald Reagan didn't agree. But what has happened is it's now back in the States where it belongs, and the States are moving along and they're approving things, some conservative and some liberal.

There are some places... My wife and I had a baby through IVF, and you've been very supportive of IVF.

I was totally.

I'm I really love that. You said that you guys were going to pay for it. And I would love to get the refund or whatever once that happens. But I actually said we want babies in our country.

And we do.

But there are some people using that reversal of Roe v Wade to attack the legality of IVF. And to me, it's like that's heartbreaking.

These are crooked politicians. These are politicians. Now, I'll give you an example. When it first came up, and it started in Alabama, where a judge ruled that you couldn't do IVF, and all clinics all over Alabama was going to shut down, were going to be shut down. And I wasn't an expert on IVF, but I have common sense. We're the party of common sense. And some women called me Actually, Katie Brit called me, the Senator from Alabama who's really a young, good politician, smart, great husband. He was a football player, great family. She called me up. She said, Sir, women have come to me and almost attacked me and then my best friends, that the judge shut down IVF. He's a very conservative judge, and he shut down IVF. And I said, Let's explain it. Tell me. And she told me, I said, No, it's a great thing. It's helping women have babies. And she didn't know her friends were all going through IVF.

It's so much more common than people realize.

But they don't talk about it. Let's say somebody is doing it. I understand. I never had big discussions. I know this. If you're a woman and you're not going to be telling Katie Brittany, and you're not going to be telling your friends, Hey, I'm going through IVF. Some will and some won't. But she didn't know anything about her friends, and they were good friends of hers. She said, They're literally attacking me. I said, Well, what is it? After about five minutes, I'm a quick study. I said, That's a great thing. And I came out within 45 minutes of the decision, I came out strongly in favor on behalf of the Republican Party. And I have calls from senators saying, Thank you, sir, you saved my political. Yeah. Because they might have come out. They saved their family, too. But here's what does happen, which is really we get calls that just the other day that this total lying politician that's running that ruined San Francisco. She destroyed San Francisco with her very liberal policies, and she destroyed the state of- Gavin? No, it's not. But Gavin Newsom, I call him Gavin Newscom. Gavin That's a good one.

No, he's a terrible. That was. He doesn't like that name. But he is. Good hair, though. He probably does. Yeah. Yeah, he is nice. I don't know. He is? Yeah. I don't know. Pretty good. He was awesome. Don't take your hat off. You never know. Sometimes the guy will take his hat off. He has good hair. He'll say, boy, you are. And usually it's Paul. No, 95 % of them. There's always a reason, usually a reason. You No, usually a reason. That's okay, too. But what I do, I get a call and they say that she, Kamala, said that I'm against IVF, okay? That I'm against it. They know it It's untrue. But all of the lies-Cositioning in a way. So many different things. The blood bath. That was about the auto industry, but the word is a tough word. China is going to take all our auto business if we go all-electric and all this stuff. And the head of the union, I said, is a fool. He sold the union down. I'm doing great with you. You notice where the Teamsters like me, they all like me. The workers like me because I'm going to- It seems to be that way.

Even unions that have never been with a Republican before are endorsing me. I mean, it's incredible. The Teamsters voted 61 % in favor of Trump. I'll tell you, the FBI would be in favor. Almost everybody. I think almost everybody would be in favor. But they lie and they say And they know it's a lie. Charlottesville. The Charlottesville statement was perfect. If they take the next sentence that I gave, I made a statement on it. It was a perfect statement. But they never take the next sentence. They cut it off. And then there's no accountability. Even the other one, peacefully and patriotically. In my speech, I talked about peacefully and patriotically. They never show that. They never talk about it. To show you how Dishonest they are, the J6 committee, I call it the Unselect. They call it the Select Committee. I call it the Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs. They never talk about my speech because it was a good speech. It was a patriotic speech.

Are you numb to this now?

No, I never get numb to it. Does it still bother you? It bothers me. I'll tell you what bothers me. Kamala the other day said he is against IVF, and everybody knows that that's false. When I came out, people were a little surprised, actually, because in theory, but I came out strongly in favor of IVR. She's an add-on that I'm against IVR. She knows it's untrue. She has an add-on that bloodbath. And bloodbath means like blood That's not what... I was talking about the automobile industry. It's going to be a bloodbath in the automobile. We're going to lose all our business. That's what it's referring to. When they do things, and they do a lot, but I always refer them back to the simplicity of McDonald's. She lied about McDonald's. She lied about many things, and she's a liar. There should be some a rule when they know it's a lie, you can't do a commercial on it. But this is a thing that's going to end in 29 days so they can say what they want. I have a hard time doing it to them because I'm basically a truthful person. But frankly, she's given me so much ammunition.

I don't really have to. She's a radical left lunatic. Who will destroy our nation other than that? But she will destroy our nation. So when you take a look at it, and I think that just getting back to your original thought on the abortion, having it back in the States, the people are now voting on it, and we're going to put an end to a 52-year ordeal. This has been going on for 52 years. It's back with the States, and it's a vote of the people. And that's where everybody wanted it to be. And I think that issue is largely quelled because of it.

You've said, Arizona, you think, went a little bit too far. If you feel a state goes a little bit too far, will you use a little influence and say, Hey, maybe and then says we can make exceptions?

I would. Oh, no, I won't back it. I think it's important for moderates to hear. That's why I want to give you that time to say it. I won't back it. Some say no weeks, but they're all changing because the people in the state won't stand for that. There are some states that say, under no circumstances, you You have a daughter, and she's raped by the worst, most violent criminal in the country, and you cannot take her answer. She got to live with that for the rest of her life. She got to live with this. And the father is a monster. He's from an insane asylum because he killed 50 people. And you're going to have that baby. And I can't believe- You have to have empathy for that. No, I can't believe that people are forced to do that. And you have a It's tiny right now. It used to be a much bigger segment. No, I think I've done a good job in a lot of ways because I've convinced people that you just can't do that. That's important. It's always been complex. It's always been tough. But we've come a long way with that issue.

But just in a nutshell, bringing it back to the States and giving a vote of the people is where they wanted it 30 years ago, 20 years ago, 10 years ago. And then they got a little complex. They talked about the length and the The number of weeks.

But with protections, with protections for women.

To me, you have to. Ronald Reagan, a long time ago, was with the same three protections. He said he wanted for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. And that was a long time ago.

Okay, you have a very busy day. Before you go, what would you like your legacy to be and what do you think it will be? And thank you very much for taking time.

Two very different questions, actually, I think.

What would you like it to be?

I took over a country that was very troubled. This country was broken up and tremendous dissension, and Barack Obama started it. And if you take a look, it was very, very badly broken. And I think now with Biden, let's forget her for a second, but with Biden and her, big part of it. But with Biden, there's tremendous dissension. The country is a broken up mess, and it's broken in a lot of ways. But what I would like my legacy to be is the same as the term MAGA, make America great again. I'm going to make this country great again. It's not a great country right now. It's loaded up. It's always a great country. It's a great country. See, that's always a great country. Okay. But I say it has the potential, and it was a great country. I think now there's so much hatred and there's so much dissension. I think when you have people that can't walk down Fifth Avenue, when you have people that can't walk down a street, it ceases to be-We can always be better.

We can always be better.

Yeah, but you can't blindfold yourself to say- No, I'm honest about it.

But to me, I'm really proud of America because I think that I can be the best version of myself here. I think that Donald Trump can only happen in America. Your life, what has happened to you. This is an American story. My mom's life is an American story. My mom's from Scotland. She comes here and has all the success, and she's so grateful of what America is. That doesn't mean that we can't make it better. I like the idea of making it better every single time, fixing these things when there's leaks in the ship. But the idea of America and becoming the greatest version of yourself is something I'll always be proud of.

I understand what you're saying. When I was President, we had no wars in the whole world because of me. I stopped a lot of wars from him.

That makes me proud.

Right. But it's just not happening now. Right now, people are dying Dying in Ukraine because we had an incompetent President. If we had a President that knew what the hell he was doing, Ukraine would have never happened. Israel would have never happened. All those people that are dying on both sides, that would have never happened. Afghanistan And people falling off airplanes, think of that, from 3,500 feet above the ground, three times the height of the Empire State Building, off the side of the airplane. All of this horrible stuff would have never happened. In Inflation would have never happened because that was caused by energy and the stupid energy. Look, we love our country, and it's had moments of greatness. But I think it's a declining It's so sad what's happened. We're a nation in decline, and we can't let it be declined. I'll give you an example. We're going to lose our monetary base very soon because countries are going off the dollar. I'm going to get them back on the dollar. I'm going to say, you got to go back on, though. You're not going to do any business with the dollar. You got to do it.

But I do think this, where I really agree with you, we have tremendous potential. And I say it, make America great again. And I I just want to... I would like to have it. I used to have something. I was going to use it, and I didn't use it because the country started to do badly. Cag, not maga, cag. I never liked the word Cag, but it was keep America great. You like that? I like this. But see, I couldn't use it because we had so many problems. It also sounds like that other word. It doesn't work as well. Look, there's never going to be another MAGA. I don't know. I came up with a phrase that just turned out to be a MAGA. No, it's the greatest political movement in the history of our country. And these are people that really love our country. They want it to be great. And we're going to make it great again. What I would like to do is make this country so great, better than what you're even thinking. And you are. I love your attitude because I think that's the way you should be.

Sorry. There's one thing I want to give you, a rumor I'd like to give you a chance to dispel. And then one question, if you have time, I'd like to ask selfishly. Rumor, the far left, I think, says this thing that, oh, if Donald Trump wins, he's never going to cede power. Then they have some clip of you saying, just vote for me one time, you won't have to vote again. I don't believe this is true. I want to give you a chance to publicly say that's nonsense just so you can publicly speak any moderates out there.

What I said, Christians tend to vote at a very low percentage for some reason. And so do gun owners. Would you believe it? The NRA, gun owners tend not to vote. Maybe it's a rebellious thing. I don't know. Maybe. I said, look, our country is in big trouble, really big trouble with the border, with all the problems. We can solve the problem. But vote this one time. After that, we're not going to need it. This is the most important election in the history of our country. Vote for this most important election. And then if you don't want to vote, we're going to have elections, but you don't have to vote because it's going to go along swimmingly. That's how I interpreted it.

That's how they interpreted it, too.

You got to vote this time because we can't wait four years. Because you know what? In another four years, like we've just had with this clown that's a president, that's just a clown, a foolish man. Don't forget, he was a stupid man 25 years ago. He was never a smart man. He's run many times. Isn't that amazing? He's run many times, and he gets it when he's in serious decline. But anyway, so everybody knows that. And that's what I meant by it. It means we got to fix it, and then it's going to work beautifully. It's going to run beautifully. We're going to have elections every two years and every four years, it's going to be great.

I just want to give you a chance to say that to my- Where is your second? And if I could ask one question. Everybody I speak to, every race, creed, whatever, they don't just like you, they love you. And I talk to people on both sides about your policies. And a lot of people, the like your policies. The China tariff that's still in place right now is an example of policy that people love. I think sometimes what we love about you as comedians is you shoot from the hip, but then that gets twisted into this rhetoric that adds gasoline onto everything. So the one thing I would like as I think a moderate person, is maybe if you get elected, would you be a little bit more mindful of how powerful your words are for better and for worse?

I will. And I'm going to think of you every time. Let's go.

I might actually vote.

I'm going to be thinking Now it's true. I understand that. Sometimes they say, well, could you be a little bit more... But you're doing a lot of things. You're solving a lot of problems. I stopped wars that nobody will ever know about. They won't write about. But countries that were fighting each other and didn't affect us much, but they did business with us. I called up two countries that fought for thousands of years, killing each other for years. And I said, You guys are at it again. I heard it was going to start up. I stopped it when I first came in. I said, Listen, here's the story. If you go to war with each other, I can give you the details, but I don't even want to bother because it's nice now. I said, You're not going to do any more business with the United States. I'm going to cut you off 100 %. And if you do get through, I'm going to charge you 200 % tariffs. You won't be able to survive. So work it out. It was a country that split, and they've been fighting for years, the two-halves of a thousand.

I think, like thousands. I get a call, and I forget about it, but I had a rough call with them. And I said, I'm going to charge you tariffs, and you're going to be cut off. No more business. And if they don't have the United States, it's a problem. And we have to keep it that way. We have to keep our country strong so we can do this. I mean, if our country is weak, we don't have that. If we keep getting weaker and weaker, which is happening, we're not going to let that happen. So I get a call two weeks later, two days later. Sir, we've worked it all out. Thank you very much. And I go about my business. I save thousands of lives, hundreds of thousands. Don't even mention. They've been killing each other for years, for centuries. And I save thousands of lives. And nobody writes about it. Many people don't even know that's the reason things are good. And I had it out with them. I said, You guys are crazy. You do that, no more doing business with the United States. You cut off 100 %. You're dead. You're not going to do 10 cents worth of business.

And I even said the tariff thing, but the first was actually even more powerful. And that's it. I forget about it. I'd go about doing my business. Two days later, I said, Congratulations on what? So and so and so and so. They're not going to have a war. They made peace. I've done so many things like that, and none of them- Hit the news cycle. Most of them aren't really known. I've made countries do things for us because they were treating us unfairly. And I've gotten things for our country Nobody else. I really think nobody else could have done. But I enjoy doing it for our country. And just to get back to where you originally started, I want to make America great again. I want to make it so great that people won't question it so that people can say what you just said. No, no, it's great. I don't want to have a question. Why should I or anybody else say, No, it's not great anymore? I don't want to be in that position. I want to make it so that when you ask a question, we can say, Well, it's a great, great country.

We love our country, but we can do a couple of little things.

I think we need that.

I'll put that in our... We want to put that in our basket.

I love that. Well, first of all, thank you so much. This is an honor. I would be remiss to not even bring this up. You said that you want to have peace in these places, not just Russia and Ukraine. It's obviously the Middle East. I know that is a very tough task. I don't think maybe you get enough credit for what you accomplish in your administration and accomplish with the Abraham Accords.

The Abraham Accords, and they did nothing. Again, Iran was willing to do a deal. I I would have had to deal with the rent within seven days after the election. I actually said, let's delay it till after the election because I was sure we're going to win the election. But things happened. Covid happened. It was a mess.

But still, I think it's something that a diplomacy out in that region that hasn't existed prior. Is that something I would imagine it would be at the forefront of this next administration?

There are great philosophers that said the world will end in the Middle East. We're not going to let that happen. You've heard that expression. They said, the world will end someday in the Middle East. We're not going to let that happen. Okay? Well, listen, thank you so much.

Thank you so much, Mr. President. I really appreciate it, guys.

Thank you. Thank you, Thank you so much.

That was.
