This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Right
well be chatting about that
too right, Brian
Brian lets bring in the
president of the United States
President Donald Trump.
Mr President, thanks for
joining us today,
well, thank you
Brian. Mr President, you said
over the last three weeks you
have a different feel for the
campaign.
You really feel like youre,
going to win now
what changed?
Well, a lot of things,
its just going very well,
I think hes imploding.
You look at all the corruption
in his family, its tremendous
Nobodys ever seen.
I mean that laptop. Nobody has
ever seen anything like that.
Hes gone into hiding
hes done the lid again
hes there for a long time and
things are changing fast.
The numbers at the polls are
looking really good, really
really good.
Will. Mr President, you bring
up hunter bidens laptop
many on the left are suggesting.
This is nothing but a russian
disinformation campaign.
What do you say to that?
Its just crazy?
I Shaw shift Ety Schiff get up
yesterday and say this is
Russia.
He is so sick.
We went through two and a half
years of that, a plus and this
guy he ought to be put away or
he ought to be. You know
something should happen with
him.
I watched him look straight at
the camera and say it
and he laughs at it,
and, thank goodness we have John
Ratcliffe that came out the
head of Dni. He said its the
absolutely false
theres, nothing, nothing to do
with Russia, and it never did
have to do. This is like with
Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein
what Hillary Clinton said about
them. This was after the
russian hoax on me that they
were agents of Russia,
and you know what
I dont know either of them.
They were not agents of Russia.
They never spoke to anybody from
Russia.
It was the same thing.
Adam sure ought to be
investigated for Adam Schiff
ought to be investigated for
what he does.
He said the laptop conceived and
dedicated by Russia.
This is crazy,
Ainsley. Well, this is part of
the interview I that probably
will not be played on other
networks, because theyre not
really covering this. But what
if the names were changed?
What, if it were your name
instead of Joe Bidens or one of
your sons, names instead of
Hunter Biden?
Would this be the top story on
every single network?
Well, you know it would and
they went through and put my son
in particular over a fifteen minute
meeting with somebody from
Russia who met with everybody in
Congress over the years
everybody knew
it was a meeting about something
totally different and Don Jr
went its so unfair.
What they have done, what
theyve done to this country
and were really were really
hitting em back,
I mean, were hitting them back
so hard.
I tell you, I watched your
interview with Dave Rubin, so
nice thats happening all over
the country.
People are in love
and what you said about Texas,
dont worry about. Texas
Texas is with us.
They want to take away your up
guns, your oil and your God,
okay
thats, what they want.
They want to take away your
second amendment. They want to
take away fracking and oil.
They dont care. They want to
take it away.
They want to go to the green new
deal
thats not for Texas,
Texas is not going to be losing
their guns and theyre not
going to be losing their oil
and theyre not going to be
losing their religion or their
god.
Brian Prime Minister, your
next. Mr President, your next
chance to bring this up will be
on Thursday night
and among the categories is
national security.
That would be your option to
bring this up
people in the past presidents,
in the past that have had
siblings that were problematic.
I remember Billy Carter with
Jimmy Carter, Rogerrer Clinton.
This issue is what Joe Biden had
to do with this.
What question do you have for
Joe Biden in the debate, so
people dont think its a family
issue its more about the vice
presidential issue? Some would
is say
how do you plan on par ilying
that issue?
Well, that is far bigger than
Jimmy Carter.
I mean his son walked around
like a vacuum cleaner.
They say this is the laptop from
Hell.
They say right in the laptop
that you know the big man has
to get ten percent and then in another
case they say fifty percent.
This is one hundred percent and even if he
doesnt get and he lives like a
king, even if he didnt get all
of this money- and everybody
has known this in Washington for
a long time.
This isnt surprising Nobodys
surprised by this,
but even if he didnt you cant
go to China, have the son walk
out with three dollars and fifty cents, one dollar and fifty cents billion to
manage
you cant get three dollars and fifty cents million from
the mayor of Moscows, wife, three dollars and fifty cents
million, and you have no
experience you didnt have a
job until your father became
vice president,
its disgraceful
Brian. What if he he says, I
dont know anything about it
and the media refuses to
cover it
Brian. Mr President, what if he
says I dont know anything about
it.
I hear Romanias coming up,
hes a grown adult
romanias coming up.
No, they say right in there that
the Father is going to get ten percent.
To be honest with you, even if
it wasnt you cant go with
your father and every stop you
make you pick up a billion
dollars.
You cant do that
you cant do it,
but he got a kickback.
You know the old days they used
to call it a kickback
theres, no better world.
The vice president got a
kickback and everybody knows
it and theyve known it for a
long time
will Brian brings up the debate
and how youll address this in
the debate.
We want to talk about some of
the changes in just a moment,
but one more on this Hunter
Biden issue.
The mainstream media is and many
on the left are calling this a
russian disinformation campaign.
Many of the facts are being
confirmed and authorized, and
some aring asking. Will you
appoint a special prosecutor to
investigate this
eleven house Republicans have
requested it
investigating these issues that
have been raised, as well as
corresponding legal or ethical
issues that might be uncovered
from the former vice presidents,
forty seven years in public office?
Will you be doing that
weve not to get the attorney
general to act?
Hes got to act
and hes got to act fast,
hes got to appoint somebody.
This is major corruption, and
this has to be known about
before the election
and by the way were doing
very well,
were going to win. The election
were doing very well.
If you look at all of whats
happening and all of the people
that come in and dont come in,
you take a look all around the
country and with Texas early
voting. Those are our votes too
were doing well in I just
got a report
were doing great all over
forget that this has to be done
early,
so the attorney general has to
act
Ainsley. Mr President, the
commission has changed the
debate. Rules for this last are
debate in two days.
They have implemented a two
minute, uninterrupted rule, so
theyre going to have
basically a mute button,
theyre going to mute your
microphone while Joe Biden
answers and then mute his when
you answer for the next two
minutes.
What are your thoughts?
Well, I think the whole thing
is crazy.
This commission, I had problems
with them four years ago, where
they stifled out my mic. During
my conversation with crooked
hillary-
and you know they muted my
mic-
they did a whole thing. They
did this to me already.
They modulated it and they
actually had to write me a
letter of apology.
These people are not good
people. This commission,
a lot of funny things go on with
them and, frankly, Kristin W E
Lker, who I know I just went
through Savannah Guthrie. She
was out of line,
she was totally out of line,
and so was Chris Wallace.
I know youll defend him, but he
was terrible.
It was like two on one is, and
that was just fine with me, but
at least they should admit it
was two on one.
The funny thing is Biden, doesnt
even do a show,
hed get killed,
he couldnt do Chris Show,
but Kristin Welker is terrible.
She is totally partisan.
Her father and mother are big
supporters of Joe Biden for a
long time, theyre supporters of
the Democrat Party and she
deleted her entire account,
and I was the one that told you.
People about Scully
Scully was no baby either, and
then he got caught lying with
his famous. Oh, they hacked my
account.
You know every time somebody
gets caught, they always say
they hacked my account.
Here we go again so he had a
problem,
but Kristin Welker is far worse
than skull LU.
I do it anyway.
This is the way it is
its ISS, so set up
its incredible that weve been
winning for so long
when you get right down to it.
Brian youre, a sports guy by
trade youve got to adjust to
it.
Having said that,
thats not father,
I mean it would be nice to have
a host. That could be not
necessarily a contributor to the
campaign. The Democrats,
there are people out there that
could be neutral,
Brian Rune Right
Chris said he was neutral, but
just moving on to this debate
neutral for who, in for
himself
Brian whats, going the change
for your strategy,
regardless of moderator format,
MIC whats, your strategy,
are you using anybody different
to get you ready and after
studying and dueling with Joe
Biden once already? What have
you learned?
Whats going to change?
Well Joe lies,
and he lies a lot
and hell say things that are
crazy
and hell think people are
supposed to believe hum
and they take ads and put ads in
on things that never happened.
Far worse than Hillary.
Hillary was a much smarter
person than him, but they play a
much dirtier game
and she was dirty. I mean look
with the e mails and everything
else im not talking about
that.
She was terrible
Brian. So will you
they play a more dishonest
game.
They will put an ad in about
something that never happened.
Very dirty players
proven Brian. Will you answer the
previous question, like MIKE
Pence, did and then answer their
question.
Well, look I do my own
debating.
I do fine and a lot of people
said I won.
If you look at the hispanic
very interesting, they did a
hispanic population poll and I
was at seventy seven percent.
A lot of people thought look
when somebody stands there and
he lies lies lies I like to
challenge it at the time because
you dont have time to go back.
Will, Mr President, just to
follow up on what Brians
asking after the first debate,
there were many who suggested if
you just let Joe Biden share a
his ideas. America might not be
too keen on those ideas.
Ari Fleischer said the prime pre
should interrupt less
Willll. You change your strategy.
Well, I may do that.
They said if you let him talk,
Hell lose his chain of thought
because hes gonzo
and I understand that.
But as hes going down the line
and issuing lies, you know
General LU. Its okay to you
know really attack that,
but there is a chain of thought
that you know there were a lot
of people. That say: let him talk
because he loses his train. He
loses his mind frankly,
but look at yesterday.
He walks out of a store and the
medias standing there and they
asked him what flavor ice cream
did you get?
I mean think of this
Brian. I know
they never ask me a question
like that.
I want them to someday, but they
never ask me a question like
that:
what flavor ice cream did you
get
Brian, just real, quick? The
other area in which foreign
policy is not coming up unless
you go there unless you bring
hum there and if you look at
Joe Bidens Foreign policy hes
the one whose former secretary
of Defense said Joe Bidens been
wrong about every national
security decision. For the last
forty years
they killed Gadhafi hes, never
been asked about ISIS pulling
out of Iraq and calling them the
JV team. At least the president
did
right
Brian. He never answered about
how China was able to build
islands and militarize them, and
they did nothing.
Are you going to go out of your
way to do that?
I will but theres a lot to
talk about in a few minutes, and
this was supposed to be a
foreign policy debate and new.
All of a sudden were talking
about things that are not
foreign policy
and frankly, it was a change
that they made. That was far
bigger than the mute button I
mean frankly,
but they made a change and it
shouldnt have happened.
It shouldnt have happened,
Ainsley
inaudible.
You know that
this was all going to be foreign
policy and all of a sudden out
of nowhere they made this
change
now were talking about other
things.
Ainsley all right tell us.
This is not appropriate.
Look. The commission has lost
tremendous credibility,
they lost it with me four years
ago when they modulated the mic.
I understood that
and you look at look at Bob
Dole.
He wrote a letter saying that he
knows the people and these are
knot. The right people to have.
He was very nice in writing
that Bob Dole
Ainsley. Mr President, have you
heard back from the commission?
I know your campaign was raising
objections about the fact that
this was supposed to be a
foreign policy debate and they
sent a letter to the commission.
Your campaign agreed to the
debate because you agreed to
focus on foreign policy and
when you look at the topics,
thats not included.
Well, we want the debate and
I know theyre discussing it.
Yeah theyre talking back and
Fort with the commission.
They want to have it be at least
not fair, because it can never
be fair with Kristin Welker
its not going to be fair.
It would be like Scully
or like Chris Wallace
theres, nothing fair about this
debate,
but thats, okay,
hey, look Savannah Guthrie! I
knew what I was getting into
ive been with her for a long
time in terms of interviews.
That was crazy.
I mean she was jumping out of
her seat, but it was a good
interview.
We got very high marks in that
interview.
I thought she was totally out of
control
total out of control.
Will President trump youve
had a very busy schedule? You
have a very busy schedule coming
up this week in Pennsylvania
tomorrow in North Carolina.
Vice President Pence is going to
New Hampshire and Ohio,
Cincinnati and Portsmouth New
Hampshire.
Last night, or yesterday we heard
you in Arizona talking about the
very stark choice Americans is
have between a potentially
socialist future and economic
Recoif.
I want to bring this back
because you told Brian theres a
lot to talk about not just
foreign policy,
so in this debate this week.
What do you think is the
starkest contrast, the number
one issue voters need to
consider different between you
and Joe Biden.
Weve, had a lot of different
issues, come up law and order,
the economy covid shutdowns,
but whats. The number one stark
contrast in your mind between
you and Joe Biden:
okay,
so many individual things,
whether its second amendment or
energy, or all of these things
they want to raise your taxes. I
want to lower your taxes
regulations all of that,
but the bottom line, the
american dream,
the great american dream versus
being a socialist hell hole
because theyre going to turn us
into a socialist nation,
were going to be no different
than Venezuela
and ill. Tell you what it can
happen.
It can happen.
Venezuela, twenty years ago, was
unbelievable
and now they dont have water.
They dont have food, they dont
have medicine.
The only difference is wed, be
much bigger,
but thats. What it is, its the
american dream versus a
socialist hell hole
will and what im sorry?
What specifically? Would you
point to with Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris that would take us
to that socialist hell hole?
Well, everything you know:
socialized medicine:
they want you to go to a
hospital. If you have a cold
take away your health care,
they want to take away. One hundred and eighty
million in credible health care
plans that people love.
I mean you can go down a list
forever.
They want to take away your
guns, defund your police, or at
least radically change your
police
look. What theyre doing in
Minneapolis are in Seattle.
They want to destroy your police
forces and, at the same time, talk
away your guns. Take away your
guns,
Ainsley. I understand Melanias
going to join you today.
This is the first time weve
seen her, since
we will
shes doing great
Ainsley hows she doing and
hows your son
im going to Erie
Pennsylvania today.
That was always a Dems
Ainsley. You got forty nine percent in two thousand and sixteen
Hillary got forty seven percent
whats your message to those
folks and all the folks in the
battleground that states.
You know the economy is
coming back so strong.
We built the strongest economy
in the history of the worldld a
then the plague came in the
China plague and theyre. Very
very we are not forgetting
it and China knows that
were not forgetting it.
The plague came in we closed it,
down saved millions of lives
and now weve opened it up.
We dont only have a v. We have
a super v.
We are recovering at a level
that nobody else in the world
has recovered
and we went down less and weve
recovered faster.
You know, seven point: eight unemployment, seven point: eight
doesnt sound good, but I
remember your show three months.
Agoing four months ago they
were talking about possibly
having unemployment of forty two percent.
Brian Brian right
were at seven point eight and heading down
rapidly
Brian. Mr President, right now
with cases you have thirty six
statements with increase in
cases
you have Europe all going up.
Wales is basically shutting
down. Nine cities in Paris are
under restrictions and the
U dot KS on reduction depending on
the city and the time
if the numbers keep going up
and we dont want to shut down
again. What is the plan to live
with it while staying safe from
it?
Well, we are living with it s
and were having the vaccines
coming out very soon
with or withoutut the vaccines
were rounding, the turn,
but we have the vaccine coming
out very soon.
We have the therapeutics that
are incredible.
I they tell you what I had
regeneron.
I was not exactly feeling the
greatest and I felt like
Superman. A day later,
I got better very fast,
very, very fast
what theyve done under this
administration in terms of the
FDA, things that would have
taken Brian, two or three years
I got done in two weeks
and the Fdas been great
theyve all been great.
Now the vaccines are coming out,
thats going to help us,
but were doing much better than
Europe.
Europe is getting hit, pretty
hard
were doing much better and we
will never shut down.
We shut down. We understood the
disease
were protecting our elderly,
unlike what they did in New York,
where they did such a bad job.
Cuomo
were protecting, our elderly
were taking care of those
because they are susceptible,
especially if they have heart or
diabetes or problems,
but we understand the disease.
No, there will be no shutdowns
will. Mr President, you bring
up Governor Andrew Cuomo,
he said hes skeptical of a
potential covid vaccine.
We can play for you right now
what he had to say.
I dont believe the american
people are that confident,
youre going to say to the
american people now heres a
vaccine. It was new, it was done
quickly, but trust this federal
administration and their health
administration that its safe.
I think its going to be a very
skeptical american public about
taking the vaccine and it
should be
were going to put together our
own group of doctors and medical
experts to review the vaccine
and if they say its safe, then
ill go to the people of New
York and I will say its safe
with that credibility.
Will Governor Cuomo saying
people should be skeptical of a
potential vaccine?
What do you say to the that? Mr
President,
so hes going to put together
the same group of people,
probably that he used to put
together in the nursing homes
where eleven thousand people died because
they put heavily infected people
in with the general population,
is that the people hes going to
use to help us out
no its, not it doesnt work
that way,
theres a case of a politician,
thats. So sad.
We have Johnson AMP Johnson,
Pfizer Moderna the greatest
companies in the world.
This has nothing to do with
government
and theyve come up with
incredible vaccine ES
and when the politician is a
real low life, when a politician
is willing to say that and kill
people and scare people from
using something thats going the
to be great and really solve a
bug problem, they ought to be
ashamed of themselves.
He probably listens to his
brother, Fr E. Do
he has bad ratings on CNN?
He probably listens to hum too
much.
Ainsley lets talk about the
confirmation of Judge, Alreadymy
Cone, Amy, Coney, Barrett,
Chuck Schumer is saying this is
too rushed.
Listen to this
republican majority wanted to
jam this nomination through
before the election.
The republican majority is
running the most hypocritical,
most partisan and least
legitimate process in the
history of Supreme Court
confirmations
instead of ramming through a
Supreme Court nominee. In the
most hypocritical of
circumstances, the republican
majority should be working with
Democrats on a real,
comprehensive Covid relief Bill
Ainsley. Mr President, whats
your reaction.
So this is a process that
Justice Ginsburg said a
president has four years not
three years and were not
ramming anything through.
We have a lot of time.
I mean we have a lot of time
and shes phenomenal
shes become a star.
The way she answered, questions
the mind her background. Her
intellect I mean shes become
a major star in this country.
People love her.
I tell you what, if we ever
didnt ram her through, as he
said, wed have a problem
because people would be ANG true
as hell,
they love her
shes, going to be a fantastic
justice of the Supreme Court for
many many years and all were
doing is during my term
im here. Hopefully I have
another four years,
but ive had three by the time.
At the end of the term, three hundred
federal judges and three Supreme
Court justices
thats an incredible thing:
thats a record
and theres never been that
before.
So you know theyre unhappy,
but President Obama couldnt get
people through
I mean he was unable to get
people through.
He was unable to do a lot of
things to be honest with you,
Brian well see how that goes
because its supposed to be a
vote in committee this week and
a vote on the floor next week,
its going to go well
Brian. Mr President, its been
ninety one days since any type of rescue
package came from Congress that
you have signed, and we know the
american people are hurting
its been so long. The
hospitality industry, which
youre very familiar with
sure
Brian theyve, been devastated.
If youre, a waiter or an actor
youve been destroyed.
Steve Mnuchin, the Treasury of
the Secretary and the speaker
have been speaking for a long
time and something could be
offered as early as today.
What could you tell us
Mitch, Mcconnell isnt, exactly
onboard with those negotiations?
Well hell be on board. If
something comes,
let me just explain
Itits very simple:
I want to do it even bigger or
than the Democrats.
Not every Republican agrees with
me, but they will.
I want to do it even bigger than
the Democrats, because this is
money going to people that did
not deserve what happened to
them coming out of China
to just put it very simply. We
want to do it, but Nancy Pelosi
doesnt want to do it
well see whether or not she
changes her mind.
We want to do it because people
need help and they should get
help,
even though the economy is
strongly coming back
Brian, Mr President, shes at
two dollars and thirty nine cents trillion and you want to
go bigger than that
shes at two point two I would like to
go. I would be willing to go
more because I think that
number one I view it
differently.
We get the money back, the
government,
it gets the money back
ultimately anyway,
and its better than
unemployment and its better
than all of the other cause
associated with the alternative.
So I want to go. I would rather
go bigger than that number, but
well see
but Heres the problem. She
doesnt want to do anything
until after the election, because
she thinks that helps her.
I actually think it helps us,
because everyone knows that
shes, the one thats breaking up
the deal
now they are talking,
lets see what happens,
but I would ratherrer go bigger
than her number
Brian Senator Thune says he
doesnt want to go close to
inaudible
Brian. Would you pass with
mostly democratic votes
id? Take all the votes you
could get, whether its democrat
or Republican,
Brian, okay,
a lot of democrat votes,
youll have republican votes
too
im. Okay, with that
doesnt bother me at all
Ainsley. Why dont they just
vote for that amount,
because Nancy Pelosi doesnt
want to approve anything.
Look shes made it very
difficult. Very, very difficult
were talking about money going
to the american people that got
hurt and they shouldnt have
been hurt.
This was caused by China, they
shouldnt have been hurt and we
shouldnt be punishing them
and were punishing them because
of Nancy Pelosi.
Now maybe she changes her tune
and I can tell you there is a
little bit of that and thatll
be a very positive thing for the
american people.
Will. Mr President, certainly
stimulus for those who had their
government or had their
businesses shut down by the
government by mandate is
important
right
will, but helping people by
opening up seems to be one of
the biggest economic stimuluses
we could offer
thats right
will. I know: youve had a back
and forth with Dr Anthony
Fauci, but balanced against
rising cases in many states,
whats the right path on opening
up you, our society.
Well, we have to open up,
we live with it and we open up
our schools and im the one
that got big ten and PAC 12
football back.
I got that back
that wasnt coming back, I got
it back.
Hope people realize that
that was pure and simple ill me
or whatever and im very happy.
We have to open up
now, Barron a young man very
young, strong. He got it too.
By the time I said to the doctor
hows. He doing he said hes all
better.
You know its different
young. Ninety nine point: nine percent young kids have to
go back to school.
They have to get back
now. If you look at different
states Michigan, we won the
case against her.
The only one that was allowed to
violate was her husband, okay,
the governor of Michigan.
We won the case
of Michigans opening up,
because you know what
the Supreme Court said. It was
unconstitutional what she was
doing
now: North Carolina
Pennsylvania, some ORR states
all run by Democrats, have to
open up
look at new its like a ghost
town.
What theyve done to New York,
its a ghost town
Brian, I know,
were in it
not to mention all of the
crime is coming out of democrat
statements.
Republicans are doing incredibly
or on crime on economics.
Everything coming out crime and
other problems are in
Democrat, run states.
I hope people realize that
Ainsley lets talk about taxes,
because fifty cent says hes not
going to
Brian. You mean the rapper
Ainsley. The rapper
Biden says: if you make more than
four hundred thousand dollars im raising your taxes.
What is your plan?
What he said is much worse
than that
hes going to look at the
Wall Street Journal.
They just came out today, just in
terms of life, six thousand five hundred dollars over a
short period of time, more
theyre going to have to pay
he. My tax plan was the
biggest tax cut in the history
of our country
and regulation cut, but the
biggest tax cut in the history
of our country.
He wants to violate that.
That would take away child tax
credit, one thousand dollars a child. It would
take away two thousand five hundred dollars.
It would take away. You know
something that will happen if
they ever did it.
Energy
look at youre buying two dollars a
gallon gasoline. Now
nobody thought Thahat was
possible
that will go to five dollars or ten dollars.
You wont even be able to buy a
car
youll go into a depression, the
likes of which this country has
never seen, at least since one thousand nine hundred and twenty nine.
Who knows that was a pretty bad
one,
but if he gets in
what they will do. Is everything
itll be a disaster
theyre going to double triple
quadruple your taxes,
they actually say, were going to
quadruple
to spend it on the green new
deal, this ridiculous green new
deal, which makes no sense
designed by AOC plus three
didnt, even study the
environment. Now theyre telling
us about the green new deal?
No, no.
What theyre doing is crazy
and their taxes will quadruple
theyre going to take your guns
away.
The whole thing is crazy.
The whole plan is crazy.
It runs on the bay us that
theyre going to run your taxes.
Brian, of course AOC is not the
candidate but Bidens Energy
man is the framework based on
the green new deal by Senator
Markey and Alexandria,
Ocasio Cortez, which includes
retrofitting. I think every
building in the country to make
it more environmentally
friendly,
and I imagine that theyre going
to go to the Pentagon to take
some of that money because its
just not going to be anywhere
else,
so they want to take a
building and they want to make
the windows from nice windows to
little windows.
Oh thats, just fine!
I know all about construction.
Thats wonderful
lets make them tiny little
windows because youre going to
save two cents on energy.
These people are. This is the
most important election in the
history of our country,
and people have to get out and
vote, because what they want to
do is crazy.
We will never allow this country
to become a socialist nation
and thats. What theyre trying
to do
will. Mr President, if I may
id love to return to the
coronavirus pandemic for one
more moment,
I want to ask you about this
back and forth. You had yesterday
with Dr Anthony Fauci,
certainly its a doctors, a
scientists job to give you
their opinion,
its the presidents job to
balance all the competing
interests,
but the american people seem to
trust, Anthony Fauci, and yet you
guys have had a rough back and
forth
over the last twenty four hours, youre
suggesting. If you had listened
to Dr Fauci, many people would
have die
hes a Democrat
hes. Actually, a very good friend
of the Cuomo family
hes been there for a long time.
I leave him there and hes been
wrong.
First of all, he said: dont wear,
masks.
Im sure you have that clip,
he said many things.
He said: let the people from
China that are heavily infected,
let them come in.
He admits that he was wrong and
he admits that I saved thousands
of lives
and its good if people trust
him but its not that the
people reporters like him,
because they think hes against
me,
hes not really against me,
but he did say something that we
kept him off television and yet
we allowed him to do 60
minutes the other night.
He couldnt do it without our
approval.
How do we keep him off its but
by the way, do 60 minutes?
Hes, a nice guy, not a good
baseball thrower.
The only thing I say is hes a
little bit, sometimes not a team
player,
but he is a Democrat and I
think that hes just fine
its a view
we have other Scott ATLAS is
fantastic, but they go after him
so much.
He has a different view
by the way everybody has a
different view.
Doesnt mean theyre wrong or
theyre bad people, but people
have different views
will but to be clear, Mr
President,
but I make the decisions
and weve saved millions of
lives by the decisions ive
made.
We closed up our country in the
midst of the greatest economic
boom in history and saved
millions of lives
now its opening.
So we did the right thing
and were doing much better than
Europe and our recovery
will to be clear. Prime
minister, are you and Dr Fauci
at odds
no im, not at odds?
I like him, hes a terrific guy,
Ainsley lets talk about law
and order
in these democratic cities.
Portland Seattle, New York,
city, weve, seen riots, take
place. Protests take place
if you win and the people who
did not vote for you go out in
the streets, and we see a lot of
what we saw a few months ago.
How do you plan on handling
that?
Because it worries people and
businesses? Are
they shouldnt be worried?
They shouldnt be worried,
were for law and order, and if
we win theyll be exhausted,
theyve had it
theyll be exhausted
Ainsley. What? If theyre? Not
last time they spied on my
campaign and they tried to
overthrow the president
and if it wasnt me with phony
stories like Russia, Russia,
Russia and now here goes Schiff
again, shifty Schiff again,
you know the laptop was done by
Russia.
The Biden laptop was conceived
of and done by Russia.
Brian right,
I mean people get it.
I mean youve got to understand
what this is.
These people are, I dont, even
say: sick,
theyre, horrible horrible
liars,
its a terrible thing.
Schiff is a danger to our
country.
Fortunately, we have a Dni
director, John Ratcliffe whos, a
fantastic man, and he put that
out very, very quickly,
hes in charge of the whole ball
game, and he put it out very
very quickly.
No, no, they are exhausted.
If we win theyre going to be
exhausted
and its going to come together,
you know what brings it
together
success
and we were coming together.
Ive explained this: over the
last few months, we were coming
together so beautifully
the best employment rates and
unemployment rates,
african american
Hispanic, american
asian american women Diplomas,
MIT plus, and no mit plus
everybody was doing great
and we were getting calls from
lets, say the other side, people
that you would least expect. How
do we get together
and I was saying it to them and
it was all great
and then the plague came in from
China
and we had to go back to the
drawing boards
Brian right,
but success was bringing it
together and were going to
have that Successss
next year is going to be a very
successful year. Unless someone
comes in and raises your taxes
by four times and more
thats going to kill it
everyones going to leave
all these companies that I
brought back in because of the
taxes theyre all going to go
back to where they came from
theyre all going to leave our
country,
Brian Kirstie Alley was on with
Sean Hannity last night and she
said im going to support Trump
again
heres. What she said.
Trump has a lot of energy.
I like that, he he has more
energy than any human being ive
actual ever seen, and I think
that the big thing I was
mentioning in that tweet was
that im really tired of career
politicians, im tired of paying
people to do nothing and take
way too long to do it.
Brian and she got blowback
your thoughts.
Well, I think shes, great
and ive always liked her,
and I just think shes got
courage.
You know shes Hollywood.
She did very well in Hollywood
by the way really well,
but I think shes great, and I
think she has great hair, okay
laughter
Brian, Mr President, just to
follow up when you look at your
election now, where youre at in
two thousand and sixteen, where youre at in two thousand and twenty a
lot of people see a lot of
similarities
in the big picture. Considering
everything thats develop on
with the pandemic, the
impeachment Facebook Twitter
would this be a bigger harder
win than your first one. If
youre able to pull it out
no
its easier and were way ahead
of where we were by the way,
especially when you see numbers
that are coming in-
and we know now for a fact were
way ahead.
No look. This election was over
until the plague came in from
China.
We were so far ahead. The
economy was the best ever
you know that I mean you
know that,
but this election was over. Then
the plague came in and it
affected. You know this
country and it affected many
other countries.
Look at other countries where a
leader was doing a good job,
and you know the plague came
in and many of those people are
gone,
not their fault,
theyre gone or they were hurt,
or they were not the same.
I had to go back to work and I
went back to work
and weve done an incredible job
both with covid. We saved
millions of lives.
You know the press doesnt want
to give us credit for that,
just like they cover up for
bidens incompetence and theft
and all of the things that have
gone on. They dont want to give
us any kind of credit,
but thats. Okay, we are doing
great.
The reason this is easier is
because we have a great track
record
if we didnt have, I wouldnt be
talking to you right now,
Ainsley. Mr President, I know
you probably already heard rush
Limbaugh talking about his
cancer progressing yesterday,
right
Ainsley, just in case the
audience hasnt heard it lets
play a little bit of it.
Its tough to realize that
the days where I do not think
im under a death sentence are
over
its a blessing when you wake
up
its a stop. Everything and, thank
God, moment
Ainsley, so, Mr President,
whos the next voice for
conservatives when it comes to
radio
well before we even talk
about the next voice, theres
never going to be a voice like
rush are
Ainsley, I know.
Do you think rush was with
me unit, know, rush at all. I
didnt know rush at all.
I heard about his thirty nine million
people, the biggest anywhere and
the most powerful, and all that,
but I didnt know hum
and all of a sudden you know I
started getting word that
theres this man rush, Limbaugh
whos, so supportive of you
from the day I came down the
escalator. He was supportive of
me.
You have to talk to him. I
didnt have to meet with him and
wine him and dine him.
He was just with us because he
liked what I was saying
and I became friendly with him.
He got the presidential medical
of freedom, which is the biggest
award you can get that and the
congressional medal of Honor
Rush is an incredible man, his
wife, Katherine incredible
people,
and he is putting up a fight
like you know. This has been
going on for a long time.
He didnt have exactly a great
prognosis when he heard about
it, and this is now taking it to
the next level what he said
yesterday,
but he is an incredible man and
thats very sad to hear that.
However, he will continue to
fight
thats. The one thing I know
about him,
hes incredible
Brian, so, Mr President, from
here on in there youve got fourteen
days left your camp says you
have youre going to have a
minimum two as many as five
events a day. In order to get
this victory.
Do you believe? Do you believe
that its going to be won in
these next fourteen day? Or do you
believe to a degree that this is
done already?
I think, were in great shape?
I mean you know I really do
youve seen it Brian youve,
seen it
Brian. Well, I see the crowds
show ever youre doing
great and will youre doing
great on Saturday,
Brian Prime Minister, I see the
polls. Mr President, I see
the polls in North Carolina
Dead HEAT
Florida, a couple of points off
Michigan eight.
What are you seeing
so were up in Florida way
up
were up in North Carolina.
All you have to do is look at
the numbers
I mean were way up
were up.
I think, were substantial
Pennsylvanias pretty evening
pretty even
we got a ruling yesterday. That
was ridiculous, where they can
count ballots after the
elections. Over proven Brian
John Roberts,
its crazy,
we got a strange ruling from the
Supreme Court yesterday.
That was very strange,
but I think were doing great.
The rallies areallies like
rallies, like in history, many
people have said it. Many of the
enemy have said it. We are
having rallies the likes of
which nobody has ever seen
before,
Arizona Michigan, no matter
where were going North
Carolina, we are having rallies
Florida. We had a rally Nobodys
ever seen, anything like it.
There has never been rallies
with this kind of love, and this
kind of numbers
I mean were forty thousand thirty thousand,
and sometimes we give them a
one day notice.
We end up and you look at
Biden the other day. He had a
rally and four people show up
four people.
You know they go into circles.
They stand in the middle of a
very nicely done circle.
The person that puts it up is
very good,
but no were having rallies,
the likes of which Nobodys ever
seen before.
Will, Mr President, youre in a
unique position on Thursday
night at the debate, youre going
to get a chance to ask Joe Biden
about court packing and Antifa
questions?
I hope to hear the answers, but
you seemed a little disappointed
when you said all they ever ask
about. Is his milk shake
so after a 40 minute interview?
Do you want to tell us what your
favorite flavor is
yeah? I would in about a
year or two when everything is
so perfect im going to. Let you
ask me that question
im going to give you the nicest
answer. You know why,
because id love to have a
question like that
in the meantime, were in the
middle of a battle we have to
win,
but it is very unfair,
heres, a guy whos involved in
the second biggest scandal,
because I consider spying on my
campaign to be the biggest.
This could supersede it. Maybe
you know
this could supersede it.
Hes committed crimes,
hes a criminal
hes committed crimes
and they ask him about a milk
shake
what flavor, what flavor ice
cream do. You like?
I never had a question like
that,
and they also they give him the
questions and he reads the
answer off computers.
Thats never happened to me,
I mean Brian, to the best of my
knowledge, Brian youve. Never
done that with me.
Do you agree with that
Brian? I agree
im just looking through my
notes. I never found out those
personal choices that you
laughter
done behind closed doors
will youre going to have to
wait another year
Ainsley, Mr President, are you
nervous about Thursday
no im not nervous,
look ive been doing it.
Weve been doing very well
its very unfair,
the moderators very unfair.
I know it so well I mean I
know her so well
its a very its a stacked
deck,
its incredible, and I think one
of the reasons that I do have a
surgeon popularity and we do
have these tens of thousands
twenty five forty thousand people showing up to
rallies. I really think they
appreciate the fact that I fight
back
because im fighting against
these im fighting the Democrat
Party, the fake news, media, the
lame stream media which
mostly- and I congratulate you-
people but mostly is on that
side,
and nobody even knows why
and its been like that for
decades
its not you know me,
I may have exacerbated it,
because weve had victory,
but you know, and now, on top of
it big tech, I mean you have to
see big tech, you put something
out, they cancel it, they
look what they did to Charlie
Kirk.
How good is Charlie, Kirk
hes sort of mainstream, but
hes conservative, but hes
mainstream,
and they want to ruin him.
These people are bad people,
Brian and Mr President, last
question
section two hundred and thirty
of section two hundred and thirty
Brian. I have one last question
for you.
I have watched three huge
parades through long island, one
through Fifth avenue and no
ones organizing it
theyre, just organizing it
through social media
Right
Brian and they want you to push
to win New York.
I asked for the poll numbers
and it says youre trailing by
twenty
with everyone out of the city
because of what a hell hole its
become and with this passion in
upstate New York, do you want to
give a shot at New York?
I do. I really do,
and even I dont know if you
saw the other day I was in
California. Did you see the
crowd in California?
It was one hundred percent and it was massive.
The plus said: theyd never seen
anything like it.
Look Californias run badly.
New York is run horribly with
Cuomo and what they do and
whats happened,
and a lot of people have left
for Florida, theyve left for
other places.
I think you know traditionally
you cant win thats, why its
very tough for a Republican to
win
you cant win New York,
California, Illinois,
so three big states,
all of them are run badly and
New York is run so badly,
and I say why would I lose New
York? You know
now upstate New York, Long
Island, all those areas I win by
a land shrewd
its only that core land,
shrewd
and that core is rotting because
of bad management, bad politics,
the core of New Y York is rottin,
and people have left
no im going to give it a shot.
They say you cant as a
Republican, and it hasnt
happened for many decades,
but im going to give it a shot.
I think youre one hundred right, Brian.
