Joe Rogan podcast check it out The Joe. Rogan Experience Train by day Joe Rogan. podcast by night all. day all right we're rolling good to see. you sir here we. go um one of the things I wanted to talk. to you about I wanted to play this but. we decided we shouldn't play it because. uh it could get copyright strike and we. don't want to get the episode we don't. want anybody to have any sort of a way. to get it down sure but it was the.
episode of you when you're on The View. and I think it was 2015 or6 like when. you were running for president right and. you sat you got introduced as our friend. Donald Trump that's right whoopy. Goldberg gives you a big hug and a kiss. Joy bayar gives you a big hug Barbara. Walters gives you a big hug they all. loved you they were all talking about. how your uh you might be.
you might be conservative in your. financial positions but you're very. liberal socially they were they're. talking about you in such a favorable. light the audience was. cheering and then you actually started. winning in the polls and then the. machine started working towards you yeah. but it's there's probably no one in. history that I've ever seen that's been. attacked the way you've been attacked. and the way they've done it so coord at.
and systematically when you see those. same people in the past very favorable. to you like Oprah when you were on Oprah. Show she was encouraging you last week I. did one of our last shows I think maybe. Thursday or Friday that was a big deal. being on Oprah's show the last one and I. was like one of the last shows in that. last that final week and I said boy. we've come a long way since since that. what was it like uh well the concept it. was really like two different lives you. know I had a a very wonderful life but I.
I wanted to do this The Apprentice was. still going very strong we had 12. seasons and uh we had actually uh 14. Seasons 12 years over they had a couple. of well they canceled the Apprentice. when you were running for president. correct no they had Arnold SCH a. do it I was involved in that and I want. I I had enough of it and we did great it. was doing great but they wanted me to. stay they all came to see me they said. we're going to give you a contract they. wanted to extend my contract Mark. Bernett is a great guy and they wanted.
to extend the contract Mark said you're. crazy don't run don't run no nobody. gives up prime time they said you know. it's one of those little things which is. probably true nobody gives a prime time. though for being president for for. running well for running against 20 some. people you know turned out to be 18 18. professional people you know mostly. politicians they said who would do this. I mean it's a long shot actually the. heads of NBC came over the uh Paul tgy. all the all the top people came over to.
see me try and talk me out of it because. they wanted to have me extend The. Apprentice was doing well so it was 14. Seasons it was 12 years we had one two. seasons where we had a double which. rarely happens it was just a hot show. and uh I said you know I want to do this. what happened is uh previously like. three years four years before that they. did a poll they had Mitt Romney and. somehow they put me in a poll and I blew. everybody away I blew him away which. isn't that hard frankly but I blew.
everybody away and I said that's. interesting because I never really gave. it that much real thought I thought. about it but never real thought but I. saw these polls were very good and so I. was thinking about doing it then but I. had a contract with the Apprentice plus. I was building two big buildings at the. time and I wanted to make sure they got. finished up properly and it was one of. those things the kids were just sort of. getting involved they're very capable. kids but they were getting involved. early on so I did that I got them done I. had some very good successes and I came. on and then I thought about it for the.
next one after the Romney disaster and I. ran and I won against Hillary it was. quite an experience but it was a. different life because you're right the. view I was on The View many many times. and uh they loved me just the way people. would talk I mean even if people had. criticisms about you people that didn't. like you there was always feuds and. stuff like that but the reality was the. thing turned on you when they found out. that you were going to be president it. was very coordinated and some people are.
catching on to that now there's a lot of. people that were longtime Democrats like. Elon and Bill Amman and all these. different very intelligent people and. they support me now Bill supports me. he's been very supportive too what this. is what I wanted to ask you what was it. like when you actually got in CU nobody. really can prepare you for that when. you're running for president you don't. really know what it's going to be like. when you actually get into office what. was the what did you think it was going. to be like in office or when I decided. to run so no when you got in when I was.
in so when I was in and one and was in. the White House essentially well first. of all it was very surreal oh you know. it's very interesting when I got shot it. wasn't surreal that should have been. surreal when I was laying on the ground. I knew exactly what was going on I knew. exactly where I was hit they were saying. you were hit all over the place because. there was so much blood from the ear you. would know that better than anyone when. they get the ear torn up ear bleed a lot. bleed anyway so and and I was thinking. the other day.
when when that happened I really knew. where I was I knew exactly what happened. I said I wasn't hit anywhere else with. the with the presidency it was a very. surreal experience okay and what's day. one like you win you get inaugurated. holy I'm the president yeah that's. what happened so I'm driving down. Pennsylvania Avenue I just built a. building on pen you know the hotel the. old post office it was we called it. Trump. National uh hotel and we sold it to the.
Waldorf Historia and it was a wonderful. thing but I'm driving down I'm passing. the hotel you've never seen so many. motorcycles police. military you know it was a major thing I. got off really the first time I used Air. Force One landed and we're coming down. and they were it was very be I mean it. was incredible and we're going down. Pennsylvania Avenue in the opposite. direction you know normally you're used. to going one way and all of a sudden. you're going the other way the street.
was loaded up and I wanted to go out and. I wanted to wave to everybody but that. wasn't smart you know that KS a little. bit dangerous right I mean when you. watch like Kennedy and some others right. but I really felt I don't know the love. was so crazy and so I did get out of the. car for a brief you know just for a very. short walk I thought it was very. important to do and milania got out with. her beautiful dress on that became sort. of a staple it was uh people loved it. and.
Baron and we're walking down the street. but where it really got amazing we get. to the White House and now it's a little. bit uh little bit before dark. beautiful and we went up to the. president's quarters they call them the. presidential quarters and I'm standing. in this beautiful hallway I you know. it's funny nobody ever talks about the. White House as being beautiful inside. you know you think it's going to be. everything's going to be all metal doors. and stuff it's not it's so beautiful I.
made my money largely on luxury the. hallway is like 25 ft wide the ceiling. Heights are you every it's so beautiful. but I was standing there and I said to. the guys I want to see the Lincoln. bedroom I had never seen the Lincoln. bedroom I'd heard about the Lincoln. bedroom and I was standing with my wife. I said Do you believe it this is the. Lincoln bedroom I mean it was like it. was it was amazing because it's look if.
you love the country but here you are. the Lincoln bedroom and the bed you know. he was very tall he was 6'6 which then. would be like like Baron right would be. like Baron Trump he's 69 but 6'6 he was. very tall then on top of that he wore. there it is he wore that yeah there it. is it's a long bed elongated bed and. because very you know people were. shorter than you see some of the chairs. are very very low to the ground actually.
but he had the long bed and they had uh. you had the Gettysburg Address right on. that right under that you can't see it. here but right there the original. version of the Gettysburg address and. this is the original and I'm looking and. I just looked around I said Do you. believe this because I was never a pol. first of even if you were a politician. but I was never a politician it just I. sort of just started right and all of a. sudden I'm standing in the White House. and it was uh very very surreal that.
room was so beautiful to me much more. beautiful than it actually is you know. to me when I looked at the bed and the. bed you could see was a little bit. longer had to be a little bit longer uh. he lost his son and they suffered the. two of them suffered from melancolia. they didn't call it depression they. called it melancolia and they suffered. from it he was a very depressed guy and. she was a very depressed woman more so. than him and on top of that they lost. their son whose name was Tad Tad and uh.
it was uh just seeing it in the little. picture a little tiny picture I mean you. can't see the details there little tiny. everything the W was a little tiny. picture of Tad who he lost and it was. devastating and he was you know he was a. look he was in a war he was he and he. was having a hard time because he. couldn't beat Robert E Lee Robert E Lee. won like 13 battles in a row and he was.
getting like a phobia like a fighter you. know a lot about the fight stuff but. like I went to a UFC fight and it was a. champion who was 14- one about a year. ago you would know the names 14 and one. and the only guy he lost to was this one. guy but the guy that he was fighting was. like almost just an average fighter lost. numerous times but he beat this one guy. so I said okay I really don't know who. you're talking abouty I I will figure it.
out okay but about a year ago but the. point is that he lost he wasn't nearly. the fighter as the but the one who was. not nearly the fighter had beaten he's. the only guy that beat the the champ. like five years before and I said I'll. take the guy that won the other fight. and that's what happened he beat him a. second time sometimes psychological. advantage is this crazy thing uh Lincoln. had a I don't know I've never read this. I heard it from people in the way house.
who really understand what was going on. with with the whole life of the White. House but Lincoln had uh The Yips about. in a way as the golfers would say he had. a phobia about Robert El Lee said I. can't beat Robert because Robert E Lee. won many battles in a row he was just. beating the hell out of you know they. tried to get Robert Elite to be on the. north but he said no I have to be with. my state you know the state was his. whole thing and and he went to the South. and he was uh I've had generals tell me.
we have some great generals the real. generals not the ones you see on. television the ones that beat Isis with. me we defeated Isis and record time it. was supposed to take years and we did it. in a matter of weeks he's are great. generals he's a tough guys he's a not. woke guys but their favorite General in. terms of Genius was Robert El Le. strategy strategy strategically he took. a war that should have been over in a. few days and it was you know years of. head hell a vicious war and um so here I.
am standing there and again I had never. really done this before you know I ran I. ran a number of months before I won I. probably uh I guess if you figured Max. it out it would be a year something like. that so I had never run for office and I. did well I mean I I went into debates we. had 18 people including me and then. slowly but surely they started to. disappear we had debates good debates.
everyone's aware of all this stuff but. what I want to get to is like what was. the experience once you got inside like. what did you think it was going to be. like in terms of like your ability to. govern like this is your first. experience governing anything you never. been a govern you never been a mayor. private private stuff business but now. all of a sudden you're inside the White. House the biggest thing was just that. first moment of being in this hallowed. it was really a hallowed place to me it. was it was beyond to me that's that was. the experience it was a surreal.
experience and then with time that wears. off with time it becomes you know your. place where you stay and right uh I was. doing a lot of I was I had two things. that I really focused on governing the. country and uh. survival because from the moment I won. before I got to office all of a sudden. it I mean they came down I mean nobody. has ever been treated that way.
and and you see that I mean you see. we're in the Washington Post very early. on they said well now the impeachment. stuff starts and it did I mean it. literally started from the beginning so. I had survival and run the nation I had. a a combination most people don't have. the survival they get in uh what did you. expect though in terms of like once you. got inside you had to appoint all these. people like how many appointments did. you have to make you have you actually. 10,000 uh appointments now they're. different you know you have big ones and. then they appoint right 100 people and.
200 people and but the president really. is is involved with approximately 10,000. appointments so you'll appoint a. secretary of state and he will he or she. will appoint a lot of people so it's a. lot but in terms of major ones you. probably have like a h 100 but they're. big ones uh treasury State uh military. and how did you know who to a point well. I I didn't I had no experience you have. to understand I was there 17 times in. Washington and I never stayed over.
according to the Press which I think is. probably right over the years I was only. there 17 times I never stayed over so. now I'm sitting there I'm saying this. place is gorgeous but you know I don't. know anybody it's like you you you know. you go to certain areas and other areas. they may be great Washington was great. Washington's not so great right now. they're got to we got to fix it we got. to make it better very dangerous place. very badly maintained place we're going. to make it great we're going to make it. better better we're going to bring it. back but I wasn't a Washington guy I was.
a New York guy I was a New York Builder. and I I built buildings in New York and. I knew that whole world but I didn't. know the Washington world too well and. all of a sudden you're supposed to be. appointing top people so what did you. think it was going to be like versus. like did you have any ideas of what it. was going to be like and what was. different well I was always involved in. politics but usually from the standpoint. of of a donor I was a donor you know I. was a big donor I gave money to. politicians I enjoyed Poli rats right a.
de both really pretty much both I have. actually pictures of Ronald Reagan and. me when I was very young you were a. Democrat until like what year uh I was a. Democrat um I could get you the exact. but the the early 90s the early 90s I I. switched over eventually actually uh. they had a reform party I was thinking. about doing that for a little while but. then fortunately I didn't because it's. very hard you know it's a two-party. system and anytime you hear third party. I know you like RF K junr and so do I.
he's a fantastic gu I do but I thought. that being an independent was nonsense. it doesn't work it doesn't work because. even if you do great you're not going to. get Congress in other words you need now. to say okay now I'll get half of. Congress never going to vote for you so. even if you got there which is very hard. and but and I know how you feel about. Bobby and I feel the same way and he's. now with us but it it doesn't it's real. it's pure and simple it's a two-party. system right and uh somebody I won't. mention his name but somebody spent $250.
million trying to get the nomination as. a Reform Party candidate or whatever and. they got just nowhere you get eaten you. just get eaten the system eats you alive. right so uh so it was it was really. somebody that Not only was new to. Washington but was new to. politics so in in the office of the. presidency over the years all those. presidents you've had 92 2% were.
politicians and 8% were Generals General. Eisenhower General Washington right. General George Washington he had. generals so it's 8% no Admirals 8%. generals and 92% politicians you know. they're politicians and they go on so. they never had a business guy or they. never had a guy that wasn't elected to. an office um they were all like Ronald. Reagan was really he was a movie actor. and then but he became the governor of. California for I think two terms and. then he ran. uh so you'd never had a thing like this.
but I you know in terms of me and some. sometimes i' use it as an excuse and I. don't like having excuses actually but. I'd use it as an excuse I had to rely on. people that I respected or liked but. that I didn't know that well because I. didn't know them that well some of those. people I campaigned against because you. know when you have 18 people we had. mostly politicians running in the. election you know running in the. primaries and they got knocked out one. by one but I got to like some of them.
some of them I didn't like at all and I. don't like them now and I'd rely on them. and I'd rely on other people so all of a. sudden people would come in I'd like to. recommend so and so to be Secretary of. State and I'd have three four people. recomend one thing I can tell you. everybody wants the position of course. no no but sometimes I'll hear a lot of. people don't want to work with Trump. because Trump is tough to work with Etc. let me tell you everybody wants to be. any one of these positions they die for. it of course now they don't want to be. known I mean there's a particular guy in.
uh New York primarily very big very big. very successful very uh very strong very. political although he's not a politician. he'd give anything to be Secretary of. State but if they ask him no I don't. think I would do it but in the. meantime begging for it okay begging. they all I believe everybody look. everybody wants it but my by the way no. matter what you do every but it's very. dangerous to pick somebody outside of a.
politician because a politician's been. basically vetted for years right you. pick a business guy and they've never. been vetted at all and they're you know. the head of a big company or something. but they've never been vetted you know. nothing about his personal life you know. nothing about where he's been when you. put him in it's a little bit dangerous. because all of a sudden they get checked. up and you hear things that you're. saying wow this is not going to work out. too well so it's very dangerous picking. picking people that are outside of. politics is somewhat dangerous so you're.
kind of stuck in a position we have to. pick established people then the problem. with established people is established. people are already indoctrinated into. the system and they're stiffs in many. cases stiffs they're survivors I find. that you know what do you mean by stiffs. when you say stiffs stiff they don't. they don't have nothing they have. nothing. or they're smart and survival one one. little thing so there was a congressman. years before I ran and I was very close. to him and I needed a license on. something and he was very important in.
getting the license but it was a little. bit controversial the license this. particular thing that was being licensed. but I was close to this guy and helped. him and everything else and I went to. him I said I'd like to have you help and. he said uh let me take a look at it I. said oh that's not too good uh but I. really hope you're going to help and. anyway he tapped me along for a long. period of time and ultimately didn't do. it and I said you are a stiff you could. have done this thing so easy Etc but it. was controversial he was in Congress for.
many years like 28 years and you know. there's a reason when somebody's there. for 28 years you got to be S of smart. you know you have all scals and I. realized he was a Survivor and so they. never do anything controversial they. never take any chances or speak their. opinion that's outside of the yeah and. yet I don't disrespect him for it I. actually respected the guy more than a. in a certain way I said survive you know. what he's been there like for 28 years. and he made it through a lot of people. don't make it through it's a good way.
for non-exceptional people to survive. well it is I mean it certainly is so. you're you're in there you have 10,000. appointments you have to make like so. you're getting advice from people and it. at one point in time did you have a. moment in time where you realize like. these are bad choices like some of these. people I shouldn't have had in there oh. yeah I think so the one question that. you'll ask me that I think you'll ask me. that see people seem to ask and I always. come up with the same answer. uh if I I the one mistake cuz I did I.
had a lot of success great economy great. everything everything was great we the. military we rebuilt it biggest tax cuts. in history all this stuff we did we had. a great presidency uh three Supreme. Court Justices most people get none you. know you pick them young this way. they're there for 50 years right so you. know even if a president is there for. eight years often times they never have. a chance I had three it was sort of the. luck of the draw but. uh I I will say that it always comes.
back to the same. answer the biggest mistake I made was I. picked some people I picked some great. people you know but you don't think. about that I picked some people that I. shouldn't have picked I picked a few. people that I shouldn't have picked and. neocons yeah neocons or bad people or. disloyal people or people that were just. people that were into the got bad advice. yeah I mean look I mean you reading. about them a little little bit today a.
guy like Kelly who is a bully a bully. but a weak a weak person you know you. know more about bullies than anybody. probably around cuz you deal in a a. certain sport where the bullies are. exposed very quickly yeah but you know. uh he's bad uh Bolton was an idiot but. he was great for me because I'd go in. with a guy like a John Bolton you know. John Bolton a friend of mine called. called me up I was picking Bolton and. he's a very smart guy his name is Phil. Ruff and he's a very rich guy from Las. Vegas one of the he a great card player.
he doesn't play cards but he's a great. play you know he's just a natural got. poker sense right you know the good old. poker sense and Phil Ruffin is is a very. very wise kind of a guy and very one of. the richest people around and has had. great success and understands people so. it was in that I was picking Bolton or I. picked Bolton he called up he said don't. pick him well he's a bad guy I've now he. wasn't in politics at all he in various. businesses he said he's a bad guy he's.
just it always works out bad with that. guy I said oh man I wish you told me. this two weeks ago I already hired him. you know he's here and and he was right. but but he was good in a certain way. he's a nut job and every time I had to. deal with the country when they saw this. wack job standing behind me they said oh. man Trump's going to go to war with him. this he was with Bush when they went.
stupidly into the Middle East they. should have never done it I used to say. it as a civilian so I always got more. publicity than other people and I didn't. it wasn't like I was trying in fact I. don't know exactly why maybe you can. tell me when I could definitely tell you. he said a lot of wild. maybe maybe he said a lot of wild. and then CNN in their all their. brilliance by highlighting your wild. made you much more popular yeah and. they boosted you in the PO cuz people. were tired of someone talking in this.
pre-prepared politician lingo. and even if they didn't agree with you. they at least knew whoever that guy is. that's him that's really him when you. see certain people talk certain people. in the public eye you don't know who. they are you have no idea who they are. it's very difficult to know you see them. in conversations they have these. pre-planned answers they say everything. it's very rehearsed you never get to the. meat of it what the one of the beautiful. things about you is that you free ball.
like you get out and you do these huge. events and you're just talking and. you're making we we've highlighted you. on the show many times where when you. did this Biden impression where he's. walking around he doesn't know what he's. doing it's funny it's it's standup it's. funny stuff but it's like you and you. were making fun of Elon one time you. doing an Elon impression it's great you. you have like comedic instincts like. when you said to Hillary you'd be in. jail like that's great timing yeah but. it's like that kind of stuff was unheard. of as a politician like no one had done.
that and I think you know what's funny. you need at least the attitude of a. comedian when you're doing this business. this is a very dangerous business first. of so it's a very tough business when. it's the most dangerous business the. most well for for a job yes I mean other. than going to war and being a. firefighter or being a cop it's the most. dangerous business the most dangerous. being president is the most dangerous. especially you I mean you haven't even. got to the election there's been two. assassinations attempts and they've.
brushed those out of the news like it. was nothing yeah they'd rather not talk. about them imagine if there was. assassination attempts on Biden how hard. people would be attacking the right how. they would be trying to get guns taken. away from people they would try to ramp. up gun laws they would try to figure out. some way to blame you if there was a tax. on if Biden got shot in the ear we would. have never heard the end of it but I. think he's in good shape because it's. only consequential presidents if you. take a look at what's happened look I'm. for having countries pay us billions and.
billions and trillions even dollars I. took in hundreds of billions of dollars. from China nobody took in 10 cents not. one other president I do things that. make it I mean that don't necessarily. make me so popular I just do what's. right and when you do that you know. you're more look at look at Iran Iran we. would have never had the attack on. Israel at all Iran was broke I told. China if you buy you can't do business. in the United States under any cir I was. going to we going to go cold turkey with. China some people think that would have.
been a good idea anyway but if you buy. any oil one barrel of oil from them. you're not doing business I said that to. many countries Iran was broke they had. no money for Hezbollah they had no money. for Hamas they had no but I make myself. you know I mean I understand what I'm. doing you make yourself a Target and. it's a very dangerous business but if. you just look it. statistically so I I said I saw thing I. don't know if it's right but 1/10th of. 1% for a race car driver yeah it's.
pretty dangerous business right yeah uh. one1 of 1% for a bull rider I I tell you. to me talk these guys that ride the. Bulls is worse than UFC is worse these. guys you see these big monster bulls and. you see it in slow motion where the the. foot is like you know an inch away from. the head if it hits him the guy's gun. but they die you know they die so one/. tenth of 1% die what you're saying yeah. one tenth of 1% die right and they. certainly get hurt badly really mean. they can't walk after a certain period. of time but but with the president if.
you look at the amount of assassination. and attempts too and attempts no it's a. very dangerous position I never thought. of that by the way when I did it I you. know you don't you don't tend to I did. you just assume because people loved you. on The Apprentice they were going to. love you as a president think it would. be so easy you know it's probably would. have been if the media didn't attack you. the way they did if they didn't conflate. you with Hitler I mean even today like K. was talking about you and Hitler you're. they're going to take what you said.
about Robert E Lee oh Donald Trump. Wishes the South one that's right he. loves Robert they love to take things. out of context and distort things but. well they they don't even have to take. them out they make them up entirely okay. they but you know it's interesting when. you mentioned the uh the I was very. popular and and all those people love me. I mean this uh some of these these women. they're so they're so stupid and joy she. would every time she'd see me like I'd. be in the theater or something and she.
you have to be on the show again come on. come on let's go we have to she loved. you she Lov me that episode where people. should watch that episode just to see. what we're talking about like I said we. don't want to get a copyright strike so. we're not going to put it up but if you. watch the episode it's bananas it's like. an alternative universe and it's only. who n years ago whoopy loved loved you. gives you a hug and a kiss and how about. that other one the new one on there the. uh the one from my Administration she. writes me a letter the greatest. president she leaves you know she worked.
as like an assistant press secretary I. hardly knew her but she leaves and she. writes me this gorgeous letter what's. her name she was uh I don't even know. you know she anyway she was in the. administration she's on now currently. sits on the far right hand side whatever. the hell her name is and and she writes. a letter the most beautiful letter she's. quoted in the paper he's a consequential. he was the greatest president blah blah. blah then all of a sudden she goes to. view and she said hitting the hell out. of me because they won't hire unless.
I've had many people go on CNN and they. call said I don't know what to do what. they want to pay me a lot but I have to. be negative and knew I said be negative. that's okay there are guys on like CNN. they won't hire them Shawn Duffy is a. you know congressman and he retired he. got a good job with CNN but he was only. positive about Trump so they kept him. but they would never put him on I mean I. respect what he did he could have gone. you know negative I tell people go. negative you know let my friends make. the money well it's so crooked the Press.
is so crooked CR it's crooked but it's. also they're diminishing themselves. they're they they are they're killing. all their credibility and it's opening. up the credibility to New Media it's. opening up the credibility to. Independent Media all these the worst. I've ever seen though and I've seen the. worst I mean I've been a part of it I've. been I've seen the worst kamla goes on. 60 Minutes gave an answer that a child. wouldn't give it was so bad in 60. minutes. took the answer out they took the whole.
and they put another answer in they. edited it deceptively which didn't make. sense either but it was better they took. the well it wasn't editing it was fraud. yeah this was not editing you know. editing is where I'll give an answer and. they'll take a couple of words and. change them around or they might even. take a sentence or two off which is very. bad but that's it's sort of bad you know. I'd give an answer which was a very good. answer I always talk about you know I. like to give long The Weave you know I. like to you like to weave things in yeah. but when you do the weaves and you have. to be very smart to do weaves when you.
do the weave look at this just in this. one thing we're talking about little. pieces here but always ends up no no it. comes back home for the right people for. the wrong people it doesn't come back. home when they end up in the wilderness. right but but they can take my answer. and you know what they may take a little. piece of it out or something and they. use the term yes we want to save time. well it's not but I've never heard I. think it's the biggest scandal in. broadcast history what happened to C CBS. so you have CBS 60 minutes that's a news.
program it's not an entertainment. program it's under their news it's the. head of their news thing she gives an. answer that was that shows that she's. essentially. incompetent and they took the answer. could you imagine them doing that for me. we can show it if you want people to see. it can we show it no we get in trouble. we'll get copyright strike okay I'll. listen anyone can find it but it's it's. drastic but what was interesting was the. other full. version was available initially it was.
like a preview they somebody made a big. mistake somebody put that preview out. there put the preview out and then the. bosses did this or that and then all of. a sudden they said we got a problem ex. exactly and then they got caught by. mistake well you but don't you think. that's a bit to me and don't forget this. is election interference and fraud and. it's 60 minutes it's their news division. so they it's a big deal they give those. licenses out Joe for free they should. pay for Fortune they're worth a fortune. they give them out for free because.
they're using the public Airwaves with. cable you don't have that Cable's. different but you know it it's just a. different deal but with the networks. they give those license they're worth. billions of dollars they give them out. free but you have to be honest and all. that was bad I think that David mure and. that woman that was aside I never even. heard of her but they kept interrupting. me it was like I said how many people am. I debating here I got this one and I got. you two but he went after me 11. different times you know it's.
interesting I always thought he was a. nice guy but he's just like the rest of. him you know well that's his job. unfortunately and I'm I'm sure they want. you're right well the problem was they. fact checked you and they didn't fact. check her and one of most egregious. examples of that was when she said that. there is there are no troops right now. deployed in war zones there's a very. famous viral video that went online of. troops in a war zone saying well what. the are we then because there's. thousands of them Dan khaw the.
congressman uh posted on his Instagram. all of the various examples of troops. that are deployed thousands and. thousands of troops that are currently. deployed stupidly deployed but the point. is if this is going to be an actual real. debate and not a propaganda exercise if. it's going to be a real debate you have. to fact check everybody like if someone. says maybe she thought there was no. which is also a problem so it's one of. two things it's either it was not true. was a lie on purpose which is terrible.
or it was the opposite it was ignorance. which is also terrible well you when I. said crime is soaring he said no no. crime has gone down I said where did you. hear that one crime has gone down I mean. I'm debating with this guy but I've had. that well there was amended FBI. statistics that came out after that that. showed the crime had gone up. substantially and by the way the. statistics were a fraud because when. they put out the statistics they didn't. include some of the worst places they. didn't include some of the worst cities. some of the most deadly places but when.
the real numbers came out I turned out. to be right but I haven't you turn out. to be right but then there's another. problem unreported crime is way up. because people have lost look the morale. that the police department has in a lot. of these cities where they've done this. defund the police these the. morale these poor cops it's. horrible it's the dumbest idea of all. time but what they've done is they've. they've made these cops feel terrible. like good cops I think cops are just. like everybody else most of them are. great it's like everybody else but if. you run into one Carpenter and he does a.
shitty job in your house you say. Carpenters suck but they don't. suck most of them are great and that's. the with cops but the point is like they. they did all of these things in this. very foolish way and these cops are. suffering the consequences of it and so. subsequently what happens is a lot of. crime is unreported a lot of crime like. you call the cops they're too busy they. can't even get you or your house got. broken into sorry you know it doesn't. even make a report there's a lot of. people that they just give up it's so.
sad what's happened and I'll tell you. what uh I go to police funerals and we. went to one in Long Island I visited the. family in Long Island a very big deal. it's so dangerous people don't realiz. the car dark Windows pull over he's a. gentleman please pull over door opens. guy comes out. firing even if they were allowed to pull. out their gun which they're not they. can't you know pull out time they still. wouldn't have time it's every cop's. worst nightmare it they open a door and.
he was killed and his partner was hurt. he was killed and you don't have I mean. you don't even have an eighth of a. second to think and it is such a. dangerous job that in particular think. of it you go up to a car you don't know. who's sitting there with a gun and if. they have a gun you really don't have a. chance you're not allowed to have your. gun out by the way you have they have. very strict rules so number one there're. but even if you could have your gun out. the door opens and a guy and bullets. start firing out you know and especially.
where they have the dark Windows where. they have the darkened Windows it is. such a dangerous POS uh profession and. it's very hard to get cops now because. they they're not given any backup and. you're right you can you know they have. like an eighth of a second to make a. decision that's going to change their. life if they make the wrong decision. they're going to end up on the front. page of every newspaper in in the. country and they're going to lose their. house and their pension and their their. job and their wife is going to be gone. and everything's going to be gone abely.
and there here's another thing that. people don't talk about how many of them. have PTSD probably most of them these. guys are seeing people shot all the time. you know I I've talked to a ton of cops. about it and you know a lot of cops. commit suicide a lot of cops are deeply. depressed a lot of but we have to give. them back their dignity we have to we. can't we just have to give them back you. said it's so good you you never hear so. anybody say that you're never going to. have it perfect you're going to have a. bad apple in everything every profession. but every time there's a bad apple that.
gets massive publicity and it it taints. everybody else but it's also this very. irresponsible thing where people say. defund the police get rid of the police. you know even com Harris was a part of. that that it's a it's a very stupid way. to look at it what you should do is fund. the police you should have better. training you should have cops that feel. more appreciated you do you should have. some something that helps mitigate this. PTSD that all of them suffer through. right she was a big part of defund the. police that was a big thing for her. defund the police always to fund the. police well was it's a political idea.
but any anybody with that political. thought I don't think should be running. for president and I think people are. getting wise to it you know we're doing. pretty well now I don't know maybe in a. week from now say sorry about that I was. wrong but we're leading everything and I. think we're going to have a very good. election but I tell because people are. starting to get to know her but she was. defund the police she was all these. transgender operations you know if you. wanted a sex change and you were in. detention and you demanded a sex change.
they would give you a sex change well. the wildest one is this idea of giving. free sex change to illegal immigrants. that's right in detention that is the. wildest thing is that the biggest. problem you have you just walked here. from Guatemala you need to become a girl. but she was in favor of it so so think. of it she was now she changed she. changed 15 policies in fact I'm going to. send her a Maga cap she stole your idea. about no tax for tips. I I came up with this idea that honestly.
nobody ever heard of and all now it took. her two months but you know what all of. a sudden it what caught fire and she. just put it into a little speech yeah. well I think we have I think we still. have that issue I think that issue is a. good one for us but um no we have a lot. of good issues you know we had the the. other day think of how simple some of. these things are we're trying to get. cars built in the United States Detroit. has been really tough It's been a. disaster they have a huge Factory a huge. car auto plant being built by China in. Mexico make cars sell them in the United. States put everybody out of business.
right here we go again I said if that. plant is there when I'm president I will. put 100 or 200% tariffs on every car. they'll be unsalable in the United. States and they just announced they're. not going to build the plant because. they think I'm going to win think of it. they're not going to build the plant. this was the biggest plant in the world. it would have more than all of Michigan. makes that's how big you know this is. what we're getting to and I said if that. plan goes up I want them to understand.
if I win I'm going to tax those cars at. the rate of a 100 or 200% of piece so. that you won't be able to sell them in. the United States they just announced. they're not going to build a plan yeah I. read that I did a big favor for our. country by doing that and I'm not even. there yet to me the most beautiful word. and I've said this for the last couple. of weeks in the dictionary today and any. is the word tariff it's more beautiful. than love it's more beautiful than. anything it's the most beautiful word.
this country can become rich with the. use the proper use of tariffs it'll keep. did you just float out the idea of. getting rid of income taxes and. replacing it with tariffs well okay were. we serious about that our yeah sure why. not because we ready our country was the. richest in the relatively in the 1880s. and. 1890s a president who was assassinated. named McKinley he was the Tariff King he. spoke beautifully of terce his his.
language was really beautiful uh we will. not allow the enemy to come in and take. our jobs and take our factories and take. our workers and take our families unless. they pay a big price and the big price. is tariffs and he'd speak like that but. he was right and then around in the. early 1900s they switched over stupidly. to frankly an income tax and you know. why because countries were putting a lot. of pressure in America we don't want to. pay tariffs please don't you you know.
they believe me they control our. politicians if you look at the kind of. numbers that these guys make then and. now but we had a commission meeting in. the uh 18 I think it was 1887 think of. this problem we were so rich we had so. much money we didn't know what to do so. they set up a blue ribbon Commission on. tariffs and the sole purpose is what to. do with all the money we had we were so.
rich because we were taxing other people. for coming in and taking our jobs and. China does it that's what China did if. you want to open a factory and sell cars. if you build a factory or have a factory. they don't take our cars they they. wouldn't take our cars but if you build. a plant in China you can do that Elon. did that by the way Elon is great that. guy is such a great guy I think you're a. fan of he is from a different planet.
he's the greatest guy that rocket coming. in I talk I'm I'm I told the story once. or twice so you may have heard it. because his speeches have been good did. you see the one last night yeah 29,000. people that was a and the one the night. before was the same thing we are we are. rocking and rolling but but Elon and I'm. talking to this very important guy I. said wait a minute I'm looking at. something the television's on muted. right and I see just rocket it's all. Brown from the heat you know like 10,000.
Dees pouring down at thousands of miles. an hour and I see this thing you know. it's like a 20 story building and it. catches and I say to this guy's an. important guy wait a minute let me just. put you to hold it I got to see this and. I see this and and it's going to crash I. say it's going to crash into the Gantry. they call it a Gantry I said oh man. that's got to be a disaster cuz it's. starting to get very close and then all. of a sudden you see the flames in the. bottom. and it boom and then you see the two. arms grab it crazy and I forgot the guy.
I had him on the phone I forgot no I. said the hell with no I called Elon I. said was that you he said that was me. and I said who else can do that he said. nobody Russia can't do it the United. States nobody can do it you know I set. up space force that was me and that's. the first time in 82 years that we. opened another Branch since the Air. Force and that's going to be one of our. most important things but think of what. Elon does and he did one other thing. that I never heard of it it's uh.
starlink I went down to North Carolina. Georgia the different places right I. followed it right down and they had no. communication the polls were all knocked. down every and one of the guys in North. Carolina said could you do me a favor do. you know Elon Musk yes he endorsed me by. the way he gave me the nicest. endorsement to this the tougher he said. the country's going to fail you should. do the same thing Joe because you cannot. be voting for Kamala. Kamala you're not a Kamala person I know. you I've watched you I know him better.
than he you know what without speaking. to you I think I know you maybe almost. as well as your wife I have watched you. for so many years you're not a Kamala. person you're a kabib person but you're. not a Kamala person no nobody's going to. know who khabib is but oh they know who. he was he was not he was not bad right. that guy oh he was phenomenal but that's. your kind of your weave is getting wide. we're getting wide with this weave I. want to bring it back to ter but wait. one sec before we finished with tariffs. I just so they said they said could you.
get him we need starlink and I call Elon. he got it for him so fast saved so many. lives and I said how was it they said. better than the wires you know they. couldn't put them in they were all they. were all gone so getting I used it. recently in Utah in the mountains did. you find it good oh it's phenomenal it's. the size of a like a iPad you just set. it down on the ground you get highspeed. internet it's incredible we're spending. just to show you we're spending a. trillion dollars to get tables all over. the country right up to Upstate areas.
where you have like two farms and. they're spending millions of dollars to. have talk about the 42 billion doll that. was wasted on this Internet access. program the United they didn't get. anybody access inter they haven't hooked. up one person yet not one person they. spent $42 billion they could have gotten. starlinks to everybody with that kind of. money for almost nothing yeah for a. monthly charge and it would have been. incredible and it's high speed internet. everywhere you want to go and he wanted. to do that and he wanted to do it how. about this they they built uh the.
charger stations right in the Midwest. Midwest they built eight of them they. cost billion dollar that's like a gas. pump right they built nine gas pumps. except electricity comes out they spent. n billion three of them don't work the. whole thing there's so much waste I. could I could sit here and tell you. about things that that there's so much. waste abuse and fraud oh there's yeah. I'm I'm sure I mean I think everybody's.
aware of that now let's get back to ter. when when you're talking about one of. the criticisms of your Administration. was with tax cuts and with tariffs you. increase the. deficit so was the Strate what was the. strategy behind that and did you think. it was going to increase the deficit uh. by a substantial amount I okay we were. ready to Ruck it was all you know I had. a bad system we had horrible tax policy. I made it great with a much lower tax. rate so I took it from almost 40% down.
to. 21% now I'm bringing it from 21 down to. 15 but only if you make your product in. the United States which is great people. call me they said what a great idea. nobody ever heard of that before I don't. care if they make the product in Japan. why should I give them so it's a 21 that. at 21 in the first year we took in much. more Revenue than we did at almost 40. think of that it inspired now we had. other things too we we were able to get.
people to bring back their money you. couldn't you couldn't bring back your. money if you had money in Europe like. apple apple had many billions of dollars. outside they couldn't bring it there was. no way to bring it back in uh the. bureaucracy the documents the whole. thing and also the tax was too high you. know they wanted like half of it or. something nobody's going to do that so. they they leave their money in Japan and. and they spend their money there that. was part of what I did the money came. pouring back in apple took in hundreds. of billions of dollars they brought it.
back from overseas they brought it in so. how does the deficit increase because of. that so what happened is this we were. ready to rock and roll and then we had. the co thing and we had to focus on that. and if we didn't give some businesses a. hand that would have all you would have. had a depression like in. 1929 but we were ready to start we were. going to we would have very shortly been. paying off debt you know we have $35. trillion in debt. and I'll never forget it we were it was. talking about uh from you know the.
standpoint of being in office I'm in the. Oval Office and I have John McLaughlin. and Fabrizio they're two very good. pollsters probably I don't know I would. say the two best who knows but very good. pollsters and we're starting to think. about running for a second term and we. had the greatest economy in history. never has there been an economy like and. you attribute that to lowering taxes tff. two things and also I cut regulations. more than anybody.
else and if I asked many of the. businessmen you know from the big. companies you know the guys running the. big companies I'd say so if you had your. choice you've had it now for a long time. what's more important to you the tax. cuts you paid less tax or the regulation. Cuts every one of them said the. regulation Cuts meant more who would. think that right because you don't. equate it to dollars but it actually is. more dollars um we had going and then we. just had to focus on something else but.
they were sitting there these two these. two pollsters were sitting there and. they said sir if George Washington came. back and Abraham Lincoln was his VP as. opposed to waltz how bad is he by the. way but if Abraham Lincoln was his VP. they couldn't beat you you have and I'll. never forget it the following day they. said something's happening in China sir. could we meet I said what's happening.
people are dying and it was all around. the Wuhan lab by the way there are. pictures with little lines their body. bags all around the Wuhan lab and I. always said that from the beginning Joe. was you know they tried to say first. they said it was France and you know. they blamed everybody but then they say. it was bats from a cave 2,000 miles away. so we got hit with that and despite that. we had the best economy and when I gave. it over the stock market was higher than.
it was preo I mean nobody could even. believe it but we saved it and we were. helping businesses they were dying you. know they were D so it's your belief. that if you had a second term given the. policies in place the way the economy. was booming that you would have been. able to pay off a lot of the debt and. that we didn't have Co we would have. been paying off debt and we would have. had and don't forget by growth the word. growth is actually more important in a. way because you could have the same debt.
but if you double your growth all of a. sudden you're under levered but still we. should pay off debt you know if you view. this um $35 trillion right now it's a. lot but if you look at the asset value. if you looked at it purely as an asset. value we have oil underground we have. water we have mountains we have the I. mean the assets are so enormous but. regardless of that we've got 35 trillion. in debt we should pay it off and we. would have started paying off debt and.
probably even giving further given. further tax reductions I want to get it. down to 15% we're going to do more. business but when you get hit with a CO. everything stops and you have to keep. these businesses alive the businesses. were dying I mean they were just dying. this whole place this country was going. to die are there influences um outside. of environmental that keep people from. wanting to drill for oil and Frack and. and do those sort of things outside of. the environmental concerns which are.
legitimate of course no I but are there. other influences that maybe over. accentuate or OV exaggerate these. environmental effects are are people. being influenced in a way where they're. trying to keep us from producing. American Oil yeah yeah so the. environmental is the biggest tool for. stopping growth the biggest tool the. other is. regulation and if you speak to Elon he. to the regulation now to send a rocket. up to anywhere even if you do everything.
it's it's almost it's becoming. impossible but they use environmental in. order to get people not to do anything. and sometimes I say you know I look at. some of the I know the environmental. stuff better because I had to build. buildings in New York I had to build I. had to do environmental impact studies. and I would see some of these guys that. i' hire for a lot of money. environmentalists that would get you. through the process and they' be up in. Albany that's the capital of New York.
and they're up they're trying to make it. tougher for guys like me that were. Builders because they'd get ba paid more. money in other words I I had one guy uh. highly recommended all you know I was. good at getting permits I was one of the. kings of I was always very good but the. environmental stuff was always horrible. they could slow a project down 10 years. 15 years I had a project in Louisiana. built big LG plant it was uh for 14.
years it was going to cost1 18 million. $18 billion one of the biggest like the. Empire State Building laying down on the. side times four massive in the coast on. the Gulf. Coast and they said sir are they're. going to give it up I said that they. shouldn't give it up what's the problem. they can't get their environmental they. had environmental permits that would. fill this whole room up to the ceiling. and they said there was one mistake on. one little line they wanted to do it all. over again it's not going to happen and. I got them their permit instantly and.
they built the plant it's massive so. when you're saying that so there's. there's people that are making money by. making it difficult are you talking. about lawyers because they're dring. about environmental consultants and. lawyers environmental Consultants profit. off of dragging out the process. absolutely and process worse how do they. i' probably do the same thing about with. them to be honest with you you I want to. be honest with you how do they do that. how do they make it they go let's say. New York they go to Albany okay and they.
convince people that if you have a. certain type of plant on the ground. that's this big and in theory valous. that it's a rare plant and you cannot. ever even touch it you can't go near it. you can't put a building on it you can't. do anything or there's a little puddle. and they call it a lake and you have to. go by the standards of a lake I said no. no that's a puddle oh you have no idea. guys are filling a little puddle. you have no idea what they do and they. use it as a way to stop you they use it.
as a way to stop you and also as the way. to generate money I'm I'm curious how. how are they generating money that way. though well they get fees they get fees. massive fees and you pay these guys. people rely on them as experts because. they're the people that they go to when. they have to run these studies in the. first place but some of them are just. bad guys and they're trying to make it. more and more difficult and they have a. lot of power uh yeah I I think they. maybe had more they didn't have as much. with me because because I would get. through them and I understood it look. I've had I've done so many envir they.
call it environmental impact study I did. so much to build a building to build a. building in New York is very tough you. got to be very you got to deal with. think of it financing. unions uh all the municipal stuff. environmental of all of it to me the. toughest thing was the environmental. because they could stop you cold with. the environmental impact study stuff and. and you deal you hire a so-called expert. they say sir he's the one guy he can get.
you through the morass it's a morass. it's horrible they use it as a weapon. they use it all over the country right. but there are legitimate concerns about. environmental impact correct like look. about the BP oil spill there's a lot of. things that do happen that are. environmentally devastating and you want. to mitigate that as much as possible you. do look I I had during our four years we. had the cleanest air in the cleanest. water I view it differently I say air. and water remember this it costs much. more to do things environmentally clean.
China doesn't do anything right when. Carrie goes to see uh president Chia. China which he probably doesn't even get. to see him but they look at him oh yes. yes we will do oh yes yes we're going to. do that no more coal no more coal just. and then they approve 58 coal plants for. the next you know every they build a. coal plant a week okay they build a lot. of coal plants we but let me just say. though so here we are cleaning and. scrubbing everything and everything. the's got to be pure but in 3.8.
days that stuff floating over China is. right over the top of us right same. thing with the oceans they dump their. garbage into the Pacific Ocean if you. take a little Cork and put it there in. about a week and a half it'll be in. front of Los. Angeles we're picking up their garbage. so nobody ever talks about that but in a. way the bigger one is even the air it's. occurrence it's an amazing thing it's. been flowing that way for a million.
years so long before we share with the. whole world yeah no if we're the Sahara. dust clouds over here absolutely we get. dust clouds in Austin from the Sahara. desert but we get the China you know. they call it the China curse we get the. China curse they're better and their air. is dirty you know when I went there uh I. had a great relationship with President. she we got along very well and they. treated me better than anybody has ever. been treated same thing with Saudi. Arabia number of them but they laid it.
out and I said this air is good do you. know they closed every Factory one week. before I got there from within 200 miles. that's like what Gavin Nome did when XI. Jing ping came to San Francisco he. cleaned it up he got rid of all the. terrible in away to think you know he. cleaned it up and then it became a pigi. well the dumbest thing is he said when. your friends come by when you have. visitors you clean up your house. like how about just keep your. house clean can you imagine that's the. dumbest thing I've ever heard anybody.
say ever as a governor as to excuse to. why you finally cleaned up your homeless. problem and the day he left right back. to it went right back yeah but in a way. that was a bad thing that he did because. he. showed what a disgrace that was what a. disgrace well this is the thing that. like shows you how foolish a lot of. these people that are running these. cities think a lot of these people that. are running these states think it's it's. foolish like you you're insulting the. intelligence of the people that live in. that City that are impacted by these.
people just camping and needles and. human feces there's a an app that you. can buy there's an app that you can get. rather that will show you where the. human feces has been documented in San. Francisco it's a poo app and it's just. everywhere it's just bum crap everywhere. but let let me give you one that you may. not know okay which I think you know. everything actually as a student as a. student of yours. but but water you know in Los Angeles.
you can't get proper amounts of water. right and it's unbelievably expensive. and you might have a house in Beverly. Hills and they're actually thinking. about rationing water can you believe it. I can believe it I was in I was in the. farm Court country with some of the. congressmen were driving up a highway. and I say how come all this land is. so Barren it's farmland and it looked. terrible it was just Brown and bad I. said but there's always that little. corner that's so green and beautiful.
they said we have no water I said do you. have a drought no we don't have a. drought I said why don't you have no. water because the water isn't allowed to. flow down it's got a natural flow from. Canada all the way up North water more. water than they could ever use and in. order to protect a tiny little fish uh. the Water up north gets routed into the. Pacific Ocean millions of millions of. gallons of water gets poured you get to. see this we're driving up and I had.
never seen it before it's the most it's. like Iowa it's the most fertile land. Iowa was blessed with great land Idaho. for a potato right but these they. they're just by the way you know some. land is good for a potato some land is. good for corn it's the craziest thing I. love the farmers that great they're the. greatest and by the way they're getting. killed right now they they're getting. killed because of this stupid. Administration but so I see this and I. said you got to be kidding. I said you mean you have water and I. looked at it it's like a valve in your.
sink except it's massive the thing's. five times taller than your ceiling did. you know the center of California was a. giant. Lake they have so much water you ever. see what it looks like before they. rerouted saw that the center of. California like what is it 200 years ago. how long ago did they do that Jamie the. the center of California had a. enormous Lake in the middle of. California so they dumped it into the. Pacific who knows what they did but what. whatever foolishness that they did led. to the situation that they're in now. think of those dry forests that burn.
down all over the you know the head of. Austria said t lake or Tachi Lake uh. it's a freshwater lake in the Southern. sanen Valley United States historically. uh T Lake was one of the largest. freshwater lakes West of Mississippi. show a photo of what it looked like back. then it's a great system so that's what. it looked like look at that image now. the one go to the one on the third from. the right yeah yeah that was an enormous. Lake in the middle of California imagine. that that' be much more valuable.
property how crazy is that but how crazy. is that's what it used to look like and. human beings screwed that up no they let. it go into the Pacific and then they I. don't know what they did what did they. do that why did how did it go missing. said they drained 83 yeah they drained. it. 19 1983 oh my God it went dry a hand. full of times oh went dry a handful of. times well you know Lakes do go dry but. that's a big one but think of it big one. to go you could have all of the water. you need all of that land would have.
more water the whole thing could be like. that little patch lit literally I'd say. I was with Devon nun as a congressman. and other Congressman we were going up I. was visiting that because they asked me. to go up and visit their territory and I. did but I kept saying look at this land. it's beautiful but it's so dry and I. thought they were going through like a. desert like a drought they said no we. have water but it gets so I looked into. it what is the fish and I got it done I. got got it done I could have water for. all of that land water for your Forest.
you know your forests are dry as a bone. okay dangerous that water could be. routed you know you could have. everything oh not only dangerous. billions of dollars a year they spend on. forest fires and you know there's a case. with the environment they're not allowed. to rake their Forest because you're not. allowed to touch it when a tree foils. down after 18 months it becomes very dry. it's like you know like real firewood. it's bad you know a tree that's these. are all things I learned the hard way. the easy way but when a tree is up it.
sucks water it's wet I went to that the. hor they had a couple of horrible forest. fires in California and I went I said. you know you got a lot of trees standing. yday were healthy trees sir I said with. this intense heat they you could see. they were charred a little bit on the. bottom but they were going to be all. right because they're soaking wet. because they suck up the water right but. when they fall right they're like you. know it's like lighting a match yeah and. you got to be able to clean they call. maintain your Forest so I was with the. head of Austria he said you know it's a.
shame I see all those forest fires in. California and all they have to do is. clean their Forest meaning rake it up. get rid of the leaves get rid of you. know leaves that are sitting there for. five years and then we certainly get rid. of the Dead Fall and get rid of the. trees that have fallen that you know are. like uh so many things this country by. the way could you really R the whole. Forest though I don't think you could. rake the whole Forest I think you get. rid of the deadall but raking all the Le. you could certainly get rid of the Dead. okay they the real you know.
environmentally they don't want to do. that they don't they said you know it's. got to be nature and all the stuff but. in the meantime this is exactly but you. could have so it was the Department of. Commerce that needed the approvals but. Gavin news had a sign them I got it all. done nobody could believe it it was all. done I said I got it you got so much. water all you have to do is sign and. that guy didn't want to sign did he not. want to sign because that would be a. political victory for you I think no he.
didn't no I don't think so he you know. he used to say he's a great president. and we got along we did we actually got. along at that point but I think somebody. said uh you just can't continue to call. him a great president you know they they. do say that but we had it all done he. didn't sign and then we got on to other. things and I I every time I go to. California said you have so much water. they don't know it I'm telling you. people living in Beverly Hills they turn. off the water same thing with the. electric they want to go to all electric.
cars but they have brownouts every. weekend you know well right after they. made the announcement that as of 2035. you're not going to be able to buy an. internal combustion engine in California. like within a month they had some. announcement asking people to not charge. their. Teslas cuz the grid couldn't handle it. well how are you I will terminate the. Mandate immediately just a mandate that. will be done I would say in my first day. maybe days because you know it's let me. ask you about nuclear um one one of the. things that when I've talked to people.
that uh have a real understanding of. nuclear power they what their position. is it's probably the cleanest safest. form of electricity that we could. generate and that the fears of nuclear. power are really about a few disasters. the Fukushima through Mile Island um. that that these These are old systems. and that they could they're much more. capable now and they're cap making even. better systems but it's a difficult. political issue because you think.
nuclear power you think Chernobyl that's. what everybody does they have this. connection they had the. potential or Fukushima where you're not. supposed to enter the land for 3,000. years or something it's I think it's. worse than that I think that area is. like going to be radioactive for. probably longer than you could imagine. but the the point is they're better at. it now right and that they could do it. now and you can generate power in a way. that you don't have to worry about these. one of the most ridiculous things is. electric cars being powered by Coal.
Fired plants it's a ridiculous thing. that's what's happening yeah that is. what's happening and people want to. think they're being green you know but. it's well if that you look at the way. the battery is made but here's the other. thing we don't have well we do actually. it's being held you know we have certain. areas where we have great raw Earth. material and we're not allowed to use it. because of the environment and we have. areas in California that have incredible. raw Earth and they're not allowing and. I'm going to open it up I'm going to let. them use it but how do you do that how. do you do that and protect the.
environment because the environment is. going to be protected you can do it you. can make a lake out of it okay we'll put. back a lake I mean something nice about. Lakes you can do things. magnificently you just have to do it. carefully respons absolutely you have to. do it carefully but the problem you know. China has all of those areas most of. those areas and yet when they say go. electric with the cars China is going to. be the one that gives us the cars all of. those guys in Detroit are going to be. out of business you're going to make. your electric cars over there we have a.
thing called gasoline and we have more. oil and gas under our feet than any. other Nation you know I had uh in Alaska. there's a find it's called anoir I got. it approved Reagan couldn't get it. nobody could get it I got it all done it. was amazing they were getting ready to. start drilling the equivalent they think. of Saudi Arabia one of the biggest vines. in the world it was all set to go and. Biden comes in his one of his first. orders were we're not going to use it it.
would have been so good for the we could. have supplied all of Asia with oil and. gas what was the what was the negative. and you talk about money right uh the. negative was politically they didn't. think it was good for them that's all. that's all it was so you don't think. that it's environmentally dangerous. taking it from way down deep in the. earth environmentally would have been. fine so it can be done responsibly. absolutely otherwi prot the environment. well I think windmills okay so they talk. about wind I think windmills are really. disruptive when you talk about the. environment they kill the birds you want.
to see a bird Cemetery go under a. windmill someday that hasn't been. cleaned out with all the bird carcasses. you it's like massive amounts of bir. there a massive iore I I went to a ranch. in South Texas we had to drive past this. enormous windmill farm and it's gross. it's dystopian you're you're looking in. the left and the right all he seees. these big spinning machines that aren't. even that effective at generating. electricity corre most expensive form of. electricity is a windmill and then they.
start to rust and rot and you have to. then they get abandoned by the people. that built them because well you have to. get rid of all that material too when. you replace those blades now you have a. problem because you have dispose right. you have to dispose these enormous. windmills and how they say you can't. bury them so I even question that but. I'm not going to get into it but they. say you can't bury the blades so you. have the blades and you can't bury the. blades you can bury the blades it's not. going to matter he can bury you'll find. areas you can bury but they come up this. is what I mean they come up with this.
but the environmentalist dream is. windmills everyone you know what happens. to them after 5 years they start to rot. after 10 years you have to replace them. did you ever look at certain parts of. California where they have heavy. windmills and they've been abandoned and. they're all different manufacturers and. all different companies and they all. Haven seen that it is the ugliest thing. it looks like a graveyard almost a. graveyard of windmills uh it's pollution. bad it's it is it's it's no different. than leaving garbage on the ground how.
about in New Jersey off the coast of New. Jersey they want to build the people are. going crazy not to build them but we you. have them the whales are washing up on. shore right so in 50 years they had one. whale come ashore now they had like 18. come in the last year what is the what. what is happening with the whales I've. read about this well they say that the. wind drives them crazy you know it's a. vibration because you have those you. know those things are 50 story building. some of them right and they're super. sensitive to vibrations they you know. the wind is rushing the things are.
blowing it's a vibration and it makes. noise you know what it is I want to be a. whale psychiatrist it drives the whales. freaking crazy and something happens. with them but for whatever reason. they're getting washed up unsure and you. know and yet the environment ignored by. the envir environmentalist they don't. talk about it I think there's nothing. uglier I see it in Scotland I see it all. over the world you have this beautiful. Valley it's been there for you know in. Civilization thousands of years but.
millions of years and all of a sudden. you have these ugly windmills up would. your plan to be replace that with. nuclear what Would You Do Well nuclear. is better I mean I I think there's a. little danger to nuclear but you know we. had some really bad nuclear they did one. in Alabama they did one in uh I think. South. Carolina they do them wrong they build. these massive things then the. environmentalists get in it I don't want. to go into a long story because it's too. long for the show this show is too. valuable to talk about concrete but they.
have hardened concrete it's number 12. concrete it's the hardest it's harder. than steel it's incredible they put up a. wall and an inspector comes along those. nope nope you're a quarter of an inch. the wall might be 8 feet wide you're a. quarter of an inch too short I'm sorry. you got to rip down the wall you got to. because it's got to be poured. contiguously right you're one4 of an. inch I'm sorry I ripped down you can't. rip it down this stuff you can't put a. hammer through you can't it's it's. incredible concrete technology is. unbelievable what you know what's.
happened you think of concrete you think. that's an example of overregulation. pointless well you have an inspector. that comes along and he says take down. a$ 25 zillion dollar W these things. ended up costing $25. billion and they one of them never got. opened but here's the story so France. does it France is largely nuclear and. they build small little compact plants. and if they need need more they build. the same thing and they hook it up and. they hook it up because they get too big.
and too complex and too expensive and it. is very clean they say it's it's Absolut. you know my uncle I had a great uncle. who was a great genius just like other. members of my family but he was a. professor at MIT for I think 41 years he. was a longest show when I was in the. White House the head of MIT Princeton. and Harvard came down to me me and the. MIT person said I have a book on your. uncle Dr John Trump he was a longer.
serving Professor he was a great genius. sir do you know how and he had uh he. knew everything about nuclear from math. to chemistry to nuclear he knew it and. he said someday it's going to be the way. to go but the problem is so dangerous in. terms of War he. said Donald some this was a long time. Uncle John Dr John Trump he said someday. you'll have a little Satchel at your. side and you go into a building and.
you'll be able to blow up New York City. I said Uncle John that'll never happen. he's right you know he's right well that. was part of problem giving nuclear power. to other countries right like that was. the problem that happened with India and. Pakistan they got nuclear power and then. they were able to weaponize it the. biggest problem in the world today is. not global warming it's nuclear warming. and we have idiots that are negotiating. for us we have a guy that doesn't make. it past 4:00 and it's not because of age.
you know they ought to I know so many. guys in their late 80s and they're. better than the I said to one guy the. other day I think you're smarter than. you were 25 years ago I've known him a. long time he's 89 years old he's sharp. as I mean he's. great Biden gives people a bad name. because that's not an old that's not an. age I think they say it because I'm. three or four years younger you know I. think that's why they say it they say. his age it's not his age he he's got a. problem major brain surgeries he did he. did those are not good operations and do.
you see what he did today he went runed. towards the camera and made some apology. to na Native Americans and uh that he. said that's why he's headed out west. like he's off the reservation so to. speak for lack of a better term you know. it's interesting because during the. debate I was uh looking over I'm saying. this is strange just sort of like. strange things were happening yeah but. he couldn't keep it together but do you. think they knew he couldn't keep it. together do you think that they wanted. is that why like historically that.
debate was earlier than they've been in. the past right I think they wanted to. get well there's a lot of theories a lot. of people said do the debate now and. we'll get them out right I think that. maybe could be well that is what. happened it's they also said do the. debate now and get it over with right uh. I don't think anybody thought he was. going to get out really I don't didn't. make any sense the debate the debate got. him out but but I think it's very unfair. look you have a bad debate his numbers. went down but I think she's not doing.
very well right now and I think she. looks why want I get to that too because. it's hard to know like the whole poll. thing is very bizarre for most people. because most people don't answer polls. so they read the polls they're like. never I did hang up I was never called. by a PO if I did I wouldn't answer I'm. busy you know how polls are done oh I'm. going to get myself in trouble but so I. really don't believe too much in him so. well 2016 taught a lot of people about. the ineffective well they were very. ineffective because I thought I was. doing well I'd go to a place and I'd.
have 30 40,000 people Hillary would go. they have 500 people and they tell me. I'm going to lose I said why am I going. to lose I had 40,000 people so she had. 200 people but you know I have a theory. these pollsters they charge you a lot of. money too you know they charge you a. half a million bucks to do some stupid. poll and they interview like 251 people. I don't think they interview him in many. cases I don't want to get myself in too. much trouble think no I think. they sit there they make a deal they get. a half a million bucks and they say. Trump's leading 51 to 49 they announce.
it and everybody says oh do you. understand I I don't think they I think. in a lot look I'm a very common sense. person I think that they probably don't. always Paul some of them probably never. pa uh what's the difference between 49. to 51 and 47 and a half well it's also a. tiny percentage of the population I. don't think it's representative of the. overall population I just don't think I. don't know of one person in my whole.
life that ever got called by a puler. exactly that's my point so here's here's. my question but I shouldn't say that. because I'm doing very you know really. well in the polls but I think that so. this week I happen to believe in a verse. I only believe they're good no I like. them this month but no I I honestly. believe that this is probably a lot of. fraud I had a poll Washington Post ABC. in the Hillary thing on Wisconsin they. had me down 17 points the day before the. election I knew it was wrong because I.
had a rally I had 29,000 people at a. racetrack and it was like Zer degrees. Wisconsin and they had me down 17 points. in other words you had no chance and I. won and I called up my pulsers good guy. good good guy and I I believe he's. legitimate and you know some of them are. some of them are I said tell me why did. they have me down so much I mean. nobody's going to believe him next time. they said they don't care when you're. down 17 points people are going to stay. home they're not going to vote because.
they're going to say I love Trump but. I'm not going to waste my time it's cold. out I said but what do they make at four. or five he said at 4 or5 they're going. to go and vote at 17 they're not going. to go think of it I was s this is a. Washington Post ABC poll I was down 17. points in Wisconsin and I. won it's crooked stuff there's a lot of. crooked stuff and I wanted to talk about. that too because one of the things that. people um talk about with you is uh the. denial of the results and I think JD.
Vance did a brilliant job the other day. when he was being interviewed uh and. they they asked him did Trump lose the. 2020 election and he turned it around. and said was there legitimate election. interference in suppressing the hunter. Biden laptop story on social media and. was that a concerted effort well they. say make 10-point difference and I lost. by one one uh. tenth of a point is they say it was. 22,000 votes but look it was much more.
than that and I appreciate jdan saying. that and by the way I think he was a. great pick do you like JD as a I like. him a lot you're allowed to say that no. I do I like him a lot I think he's. brilliant guy and I think his ability to. talk like a normal human being he did. you did my friend Theo Von's podcast and. he just did it how did he do with he did. great and it he just talks like a normal. human being do is that why you called me. to do this no no. I was uh once they shot you I was like. he's got to come in here it's all about. timing it's all about the timing I think.
timing's perfect do you even have a scar. on your ear you got anything on there I. do what me say say what you got so right. over here it's a tiny little Mark it. zied right there it's it healed up. pretty good well it's pretty. good yeah little it's not like uh some. of the wrestlers some of the UFC. fighters you didn't get no no it got it. was sort of like a top shot mhm the. point of the bullet was a little of the. but you see the the the thing's taken. off a little bit but uh it makes me a.
tougher guy you know the fighters you. know the fighters love their you know Bo. nickel is a great fighter how's he going. to do I think he's Terri great he's a. fantastic he was almost like undefeated. in college he still yeah he's a. fantastic wrestler and one of the one of. the best Mixed Martial when is he. fighting again he's fighting in Mass. Square Garden in November oh that's. going to be an after the election yep so. I'll either go as president or I'll be. depressed and I won't bother I really. yeah I think they're having a fight.
right now one of the things that was. fascinating also was uh the denial of. the election results is is a pretty. common thing Hillary Clinton famously. denied that she called you an. illegitimate president and she said that. Russia put you in place even though she. conceited yes you know she Conceited the. night of the election CU she was beaten. yes and it was a thing that was pretty. common for people especially Democrats. to deny the elections. there's been many of them the Bush. Administration the you know the dangling. Chads all that all that stuff well look.
at these guys in Congress all these SAS. bags in Congress that are Democrats. they're still denying. 2016 but now they don't so much because. you know they try and pin it on me you. don't hear them say here's my they. denied it right up until the end my. point is this idea of election fraud is. a forbidden topic and you get labeled an. election deny it's like being labeled an. antivaxer if you question some of the. health consequences that people have had. from the 19 shots oh my God you're anti. you're an antivaxer if you say and what.
I say publicly and I've said this a lot. it's not. 0% so if you ask me what is the amount. of election fraud in this country is it. 0% no one thinks it's 0% I've never met. one person not a a super liberal. Progressive far left person or a a. right-wing conservative not one person. thinks it's 0% they think when you have. human beings and also you have a lot of. weirdness that was going on during the. 2020 elections particularly with mail.
and ballots and you had legislators that. had to approve and they didn't approve. and they went out and did it anyway and. you had ballot you had old-fashioned. ballot screwing I mean you had the you. have people going up and dropping in. phony votes you had unsigned ballots etc. etc there's certain people that think. they have and there's the rhetoric is. also that you're Hitler and that in. order to stop Hitler you have to do. whatever it Tak that was okay yeah yeah. and this is I mean you're hearing this.
now K compared you to said Your Love of. Hitler yesterday it's you know KLA is a. very low IQ person she's a very low IQ. you know I'm for taking tests too I. think anybody that runs for president. should take they should give him test. and it's not an age thing it's not based. if you look back on History 70s and 80s. your greatest some of your greatest. leaders in the world world history. longtime world history they were in. their 70s and their 80s but I think you. should take cognitive tests I think. everybody they say it's.
unconstitutional but I think ridiculous. I think Comm should have a test because. there's something missing there's. something wrong with her well I think. it's pressure I think the pressure and. the scrutiny you've been a celebrity for. a long time and you understand what this. is like but for someone who's in her. late 40s who becomes the vice president. who runs for president becomes the vice. president and then all of a sudden the. weight of the world is on your shoulders. and there's all these people paying a. lot lot of people clam up but you either. have it you don't correct look this is. an interview you've we've covered a lot.
of territory right and and you know it's. fine I don't care I want to I think it's. much more interesting she to do an. interview with uh Al Anderson. Cooper a softball crazy softball. interview she took two days off and she. studied and studied all day long and. then she comes out with a result that. was a real embarrassment that was a. really bad interview she couldn't answer. a question question and every question. is not answered I mean like what would. you do your first day in office okay.
I'll build a wall I won't build the wall. there's a hundred things you can say. just say anything right uh there's. something off with her well I also we're. dealing Jo we're dealing with the. smartest people they hate when I say you. know when the Pres when I call President. she they said he called president she. brilliant well he's a brilliant guy he. controls 1.4 billion people with an iron. fist I mean he's a brilliant guy whether. you like it or not and they go crazy. right it doesn't mean he's not evil or. it doesn't mean he's not yeah of course. dangerous but but actually we have evil.
people in our country yes if you have a. smart president he can deal with Russia. he can deal with all of it I had a i. Russia would have never gotone into. Ukraine if I were president how would. you have stopped it he automatic two. things I told him I said Vladimir you're. not going in I used to talk to him all. the time you're not going in I can't. tell you what I told him because I think. it would be appropriate but someday. he'll tell you but he would have never. gone in but you know why else he. wouldn't have gone in oil prices at $40.
a barrel wouldn't have allowed him. wouldn't have given him the money to. prosecute that war wouldn't have given. him the money I said it with President I. was with President she I said it was. almost the same conversation with. Vladimir was. Moscow with President she it was Beijing. it was almost the exact same. conversation I said don't do it he would. have never done it the day I left they. flew 28 bombers over the middle of. Taiwan 28 bombers and it's the apple of.
his eye and the same thing with Russia. it's the Apple Ukraine is the apple of. his eye I used to talk to him I had a. very good relationship with him he. wouldn't have done it he would have. never done it but he also wouldn't have. done it because of the you know one of. the reasons that what happened is number. one he doesn't respect Biden at all not. even a little bit and who the hell would. but he doesn't respect him but when he. saw what happened in Afghanistan how. horribly that was handled number one you.
take the soldiers out last not first. okay that was their big mistake and we. had that thing charted out and they. weren't obeying us they weren't uh Abdul. is the head of the Taliban boom boom he. had to do all these things some he. didn't do I said nope you're not do you. got to do them all this guy took he. immediately took all he left the. equipment behind 13 soldiers dead but he. took everybody out he took his soldiers. out before a child would know that's. where Millie was so stupid he was such a.
stupid guy. Millie okay those generals should have. all been fired the Afghan the people. that were involved with Afghanistan. should have all been fired then they'd. be writing books about him how stupid he. was and bad he was but you take your. soldiers out last I had a a big rally. and I saw a child in the front. row uh about a year and a half ago and I. called the child up I said do you mind. if I borrow your child oh yes please and. they came up kids five years I gave them.
quick details you know I said we want to. get out of this place and we have this. and we have this and we have the. equipment I gave him a little thing I. said do you take your soldiers out first. or last after everything's done you take. them out last sir a child would know. that we took our soldiers out first what. was your and we left a bag room well not. only that we left billions of dollars. worth of equipment and military vehicles. that they use for parades now best the. best equipment yeah to embarrass us the.
best equipment in the world the Taliban. parade where there got tanks rolling. down the streets and Blackhawks flying. is the craziest thing I've ever seen. fact that we left all Best Equipment in. the World Behind what would you have. done differently well number one we. would have taken it out just so go back. a little bit further I had a couple of. conversations with Abdul and from the. time had those conversations cuz they. were shooting our soldiers you know with. the sniper stuff they were shoot they. were shooting a lot of them they were.
shooting a lot with Obama much less with. me but they were shooting him and I said. get this guy on the phone the Press went. nuts when they heard this I had a great. conversation with it was a tough. conversation 18 months later there. wasn't one soldier that was ever shot at. and even Biden admitted it in a moment. of stupidity cuz he shouldn't admit it. his people went nuts he said yeah well I. will admit no Soldier we had we didn't. have a soldier killed in 18 months in. Afghanistan not one soldier was killed.
because he understood what was going to. happen if that happened I didn't have. one so then when I left after having. gotten more votes than any sitting. president in the history of the country. and much more votes than he got in 2016. when I. left they started shooting our soldiers. but more importantly what they did is. they did that whole thing with you know. leaving he shouldn't have left number. one should have left from bogram because. bogram is this massive base it's got.
tremendous acreage around it tremendous. it's a very big it was built many years. ago and part of the reason you wouldn't. have taken that is because it goes to. China one hour from where China makes. its nuclear missiles you should have. never left bogram number one they should. have left from bogram they should have. left last they should have got you know. we have Americans that are still there. they should have taken all their. equipment out everything should every. plane every screw should have been taken.
out every tent and I said that that's. when I realized that Millie was a dummy. I said we're leaving but I want to get. everything out sirar it's cheaper to. leave it I said what do you mean cheaper. to leave it yeah he said it's cheaper to. leave it that was cheaper cheaper he. said it's cheaper sir not more dangerous. he just said cheaper I said I want every. plane I want every tank I want the. goggles they night goggles they have all. this stuff that these guys now have he. said sir it's cheaper to get out and. leave it I said so you think it's.
cheaper to leave a $150 million brand. new airplane in there than it is to fly. it out with a tank of jet fuel and put. it in Pakistan or just fly it directly. back it's cheaper to live I said this. guy's nuts I'm telling you he was so. stupid he was so unwise he was like an. unwise man and there were a number of. them but I defeated Isis with the. greatest generals I had a guy who was so. great I flew to Iraq and I met the real.
generals not these idiots that we deal. with and we knocked out you know I. defeated 100% of the Isis caliphate they. said it would take five years I did it. in a matter of a few literally a few. weeks and we hit them hard and he said. so we're going to hit him here we're. going to hit him there we're going to. hit him here there and I said this guy's. great I like this guy I was told it. would take five years that's why I went.
I said how could it take five years we. have brand new Fighters we have the best. planes the best weapons the best guns. the best bombs how could it possibly. take that long and I flew to um I flew. and left at 3:00 in the morning nobody. knew I was going I got on Air Force One. and we started. flying and when we reached about half an. hour away from Iraq that was where the. air Port was big. airport uh about a half an hour away. they said sir I'm sorry you'll have to. turn off all your lights why we're.
getting close to our site our land I. said you mean we spent 8 trillion do and. we can't leave the lights think of this. 20 years $8 trillion and we can't leave. the lights on in a. plane I said that's okay turn the lights. on I'm not going to fight him that's one. this is because it's too dangerous yeah. too dangerous cuz they see the light up. in the air they'll shoot at it you know. so uh I said said turn the lights off. then they said sir we're going to also. pull your shades of that's okay said. that's okay the plane was Pitch Black.
all the lights outside you know the. blinking they go the blinking Reds they. were all turned off and I like to sit. with Pilots a lot of times and these. guys are specimens I always say they're. better looking than Tom Cruz okay and. they're even taller like perfect. specimens these guys like for a fighter. you know you have some guys that are. perfect specimens these and you know. they picked they picked the best pilots. in the Air Force United States Air Force. to fly Air Force One and I get up there.
and I'm sitting and and I'm feeling my. way up you know it's up high 7:47 so you. go through the stairs but I sort of knew. my way up there wasn't a light in the. plan I'm saying can you imagine we spent. trillions of dollars and we're trying to. fly in blind but I got into the plane. the cockpit is dark black little tiny. light you could see the pilot. a perfect looking human being his. co-pilot everybody was perfect they were. all like movie stars you know it's like. I could have cast a movie with these.
guys and nobody would believe it because. they were too. good-look so I said how are we doing ke. sure we'll be landing in 10 minutes and. I look outside there's not a light and. I'm saying you know I've landed a lot of. planes I and you see like little lights. at least there's nothing it's just pure. desert and I said okay Captain good but. I'm looking that that where did you. you've been in many PLS where it has the. computer sign saying 1,000 ft n goes.
1,00. 900 800 it's a computer voice but it. sounds like but it's incredible. voice 700 I say captain are we okay I'm. look are we okay Captain there's no. lights and I'm looking you know normally. when you land a PL because I sit with p. a lot I think it's great I think it's a. great profession everything it's incred. they're incredible these machines are. incredible he said sir we're fine no. problem sir I. said you know go I don't see the lights. up there Captain sure we're okay you.
know so I mean I'm exaggerating a little. bit you know Pro problem with. exaggerating they'll tell the story. they'll say Trump was a coward so I'm. sitting with him he go 500 fo and I'm s. and I'm telling you there wasn't a light. on the. runway nothing and we're going in you. okay Captain everything good yes sir no. problem we'll be down at about 1 minute. sir and I'm telling you Joe you know. there's always a light there's not a.
little pin and all of a sudden and you. hear bah bah Perfect Landing like glass. that's how good I mean these guys. between the equipment and it's genius. it's pure it was so dark you couldn't. see a thing there was no Runway you. wouldn't know where the hell you you're. in the middle of a desert and then I got. out of the plane I said thank you. Captain that's a great job and then I. get out of the plane and I'm going down. and I see a general and another General. and I see a staff sergeant a drill.
sergeant and are various guys all. Central Casting Central. Casting they said sir would you like to. rest I said I don't want to rest I want. to figure out what the hell are we doing. with Isis I'm hearing we we can't it's. going to take years no sir we can do it. very quickly sir and anyway we go into. the room we go I mean Biden would have. taken nap for 4 days and then left. without a meeting so we go into the room. and these they have these guys I say how.
long can you do it how long we can do it. in a couple of weeks sir I said wait a. minute they told me five years we can do. it in I don't he gave me a number like. like just like in no time I said why. haven't you done it because the orders. came in from Washington sir and they. would come here and tell us what to do. don't you challenge us we're not allowed. to do that sir that's not the military. way they tell us what to do and we have. to respect them I just so do you think. that it was incompetence why they didn't.
go after Isis I think it's a bad system. you know when Mattis goes there or when. Millie goes there who's stupid and they. tell these guys that are actually smart. what to do and the guys that are smart. are saying we don't like what they're. doing but they're not allowed to sort of. counteract plus the guys that went there. are arrogant you know they're arrogant. fools they're like stupid fools uh the. way they pulled out of uh you know the. way they as an example the way they. pulled out of Afghanistan with the. people falling off the planes the it was. so it was it was worse than Vietnam with.
the helicopters fall it was so bad there. was no reason for it anyway so we. knocked them out and I mean we have. great military we have great people but. not the television guys and I rebuilt. the military and then they gave a chunk. of it now I have to tell as much as it. is it's a tiny little piece believe it. or not we have an believe I rebuilt the. military I rebuilt our nuclear and in a. way I hated to redo it but I got to.
realize how powerful that nuclear is. Joe one bomb Israel is gone but forget. one bomb could take out the entire East. Coast it's so bad and I watch these poor. fools talking about our oceans will rise. 1 18 of an inch over the next 500 years. I mean we have people we have countries. right now you five countries and don't. underestimate North North if you take a. look at North Korea their new I was.
there I mean I was with Kim I had a. great Rel I got along great with him you. know the president he got along that's a. good thing it's not a bad thing it's a. great thing Obama thought we were going. to go to war with North Korea when I met. with Obama just prior to the Takeover. you know you meet you have it's a sort. of a ceremonial meeting but it lasted a. long time a lot longer than it was. supposed to last I said what's the. biggest problem he said North Korea. by the time I finished I was we we had. no problem with North Korea we were. really it was a little tough at the.
beginning remember MH he said uh I have. a red button on my desk I said I have a. red button also but mine's bigger than. yours and mine works I liked how you. called them little rocket man I said I. said yeah little rocket I said little. rocket man you're going to burn in hell. and it was a rough yeah oh so rough that. people were worried this is crazy and. then one day I got a call sort of like a. fight I got a call you know you ever see. what they pounding P then all of a. sudden but I got a call and it was from.
him meaning his people they wanted to. meet they wouldn't meet Obama he tried. to meet they wouldn't even talk to him. about it and I think he expected to go. to war I actually do I believe he. expected to go and we check their. nuclear stock po it is substantial I. mean it's that's I said do you do. anything I got to know him very well I. got to know him better than anybody. anybody. and I said do you ever do anything else. why don't you go take it easy and relax. go to the beach you have beautiful beach.
nice beach front property you know. kiddingly I said you're always building. nuclear just relax you don't have to do. it let's build some condos on your. Shoreline they actually have gorgeous. stuff and he said uh I just have to do. it because I need it for my safety ET. said I got to know him very well we had. no problem with him if you have a smart. problem if you have a smart really the. right president the smart president. you're not going to have a problem and I. say it to people we have a bigger. problem in my opinion with the Enemy.
from within and it drives them crazy. when I use that term but we have an. enemy from within we have people that. are really bad people that I really. think want to make this country. unsuccessful when you look at what's. happening at our border Joe when you. have people coming in that when when. other countries are allowed to empty. their prisons into our country with. murderers we had. ,99 murderers dropped in our country. over the last three years and 15,000. rapists convicted rapists yeah drug.
dealers drug lords that's just the ones. that have been correct people from. mental institutions what do you think. this hundred hundreds of thousands of. major criminals tougher and worse than. anybody we have these we're seeing the. consequences of it in San Antonio. they've taken over apartment buildings. in Aurora Colorado take apartment. buildings these Venezuelan G just the. beginning what what do you think the. strategy is you know one of the things.
that they've said is that you uh stopped. a bill from being passed but didn't that. bill also include amnesty for the people. that are already here Jo this is years. after the fact the damage was already. done but what was the bill was the it. allowed 2 million people and they were. going to get amnesty it was a horrible. bill it didn't protect us at all but we. should just tell people what the. strategy is so one of the things that's. been their strategy one of the things. that's been very clear is that they've.
moved a large percentage of these. migrants they're coming across the. border illegally they've moved them to. swing States like this is what's going. on with Springfield Ohio right they're. in swing States well that's not a swing. state I'm going to win Ohio by a lot so. that's not a but it's called Springfield. Ohio to be exact and yeah Springfield. Ohio is this very nice community of. 52,000 people that just had. 32,000 migrants that don't speak the.
language dropped into their Community. you can't get into a hospital you can't. get into a school it's gone from a. beautiful little place to a horror show. and the mayor is a nice guy and the. mayor says we're looking for. interpreters I said no you've got to. remove them and bring them back to their. country mostly Haitians in this cas is. but they speak no they speak no language. they speak no no English mean in fact. even the language they do speak it's I.
mean they can't get interpreters they. can't do anything and the mayor's trying. to be politically correct they're all. trying to be in Aurora Colorado you have. the the worst probably the worst gang. MS-13 might even be you know those two. are the worst gangs these are Venezuela. gangs they have taken over apartment. complexes and they're going to want to. take over the whole thing and you have a. weak Governor pathetic Governor uh who's. a radical left Democrat he doesn't know. what the hell to do but you have it in. many other communities but they don't.
like to talk about it because it's you. know it's bad for the community to talk. about it these people have been LED in. here by this imbecile she's and I mean. it she's a low IQ person low IQ right. but it's also it's obviously not just. her there's there's a strategy that's. involved in letting these people she was. in charge of the Border well she's in. charge of the Border but they also they. they utilize that app the app that used. to be used it used to be used I think. essentially wasn't it for shipping.
wasn't it when people were this country. it was used for shipping and now it's. used to deal with the cartels the cartel. heads of the cartel rich people by the. way these are loaded these people have. so much money they would call up think. of this they call up the app and the app. tells them where they should take their. load of illegal migrants from the Congo. you know we have a lot from the Congo. prisons in the. Congo um I made a little bit of a. sarcastic joke a man named Dana White.
who you love who I love I assume you. love I love that dude I think he's in a. class by he's probably the reason why. you're. here I I I don't know maybe he's one of. the big ones he is the greatest guy you. know I always say every nobody's. indispensable you know everybody can be. replaced maybe you can't be you might. not be but they know what truly I don't. think you know the things they sold it. for 4 billion I said what a hell who the. hell is going to pay 4. billion and they made like a great deal.
I. mean take him out I think it's all every. no he's the. best greatest guy he spoke at my at the. whole thing with you know I had just. been shot and he got up and he spoke so. better than anybody I mean who would be. better to introduce you I asked of all. the people and I know the biggest people. in the world and they all would have. loved to have done it I said Dana would. you do it you it was interesting he was. away and he said to the people that you. know one of my guys called said I won't.
be able to do it I'm she I just left. with my wife and family I won't I said. he said no yeah I was a little surprised. even though I knew he was very far away. he was in someplace some you know and. and he deserved it with his family you. know the whole thing and then I said all. right that's let's and so we're look at. who we going to get and all of a sudden. she comes in sir Dana White just said. he's going to do it and he's coming back. in tonight he's taking you know the guy. is just a incredible guy and he's like a. tough Champion but loyal yeah he's got.
to be one of your favorite people he's. one of my favorite love to death I've. been friends with him for 23 years I. love him so would you have um because. you're what you're doing here is. incredible I mean everybody tells me all. I know is today I'm going you know. you're and Joe Rogan people tell me like. I said I say how the hell do you know. that but it's it's sort of what you've. done here is amazing where would you be. if you didn't do the UFC stuff would you. have this show do you think yeah I would. still be doing it for sure yeah would be.
the same would it be at the same level I. don't know but you would have it's hard. to know I think you know one of the. things that works for this show I guess. is that I I'm involved in so many. different things you know standup comedy. UFC and all the interest that I have. that lead to the podcast will you always. want to do you first of all you love UFC. I love it yeah you love the fights I. mean I watch you you are loving it they. could pay you nothing it'd be very they. didn't pay me anything for the first. like 13 shows I did it for free cuz they. were hammering money and I became. friends with Dana and my my position was.
you're going to give me the best seat in. the house I get to sit cage side for the. fights I like I'll do it and I wanted to. help I was like I think these are the. guys that we had always hoped for in the. early days of the sport I started. working for the the company in 1997 I. was the before the UFC was purchased by. zua which Dana work for so I I was a. part of the previous owners and I only. did it for a couple years it was just. too much and I was losing money and it. was banned from cable because of. Budweiser and John McCain and you could. only get it on Direct TV and so and then.
I came along and I gave him the S and he. loves you he never forgot it he he loves. you for that he talks about all the time. just interrupt you for one so he they. couldn't get a site because it was too. dangerous and everybody was against it. and they couldn't get license and I gave. him the first two or three sites and. they were great and by the way I went to. the first fight I said I never saw. anything like this it was crazy it was. so good take the best fight you've ever. it was like that fight right it was so. good that I gave it to him again again.
and all of a sudden it caught on but you. know when I wasn't in Vogue you know. I've had time you probably never had a. time but I had times when I wasn't. exactly inv vog Dana they called him he. said he's the greatest guy there's. nobody like he said I'll never say. anything bad about that guy because when. I needed because they were having a hard. time at the beginning they almost pulled. the plug a couple of times right he said. he stood up and he gave us stuff that. nobody else gave us and nobody wanted. anything to do and he said I will never.
and there was a time where it would have. been very popular for him to say bad. stuff about me he said the greatest. stuff about me he said you're going to. try and get me to say bad stuff about. Trump I'm never doing it he's a very's. an unusual guy very unusual guy he's a. fantastic guy a perfect guy to be at the. helm of something so controversial as. the UFC controversial now I mean well. now it's huge yeah well this was always. the thing that I would hop that it would. be I always knew that it was. unbelievably entertaining but I just.
didn't know if maybe I was crazy maybe I. loved it because I've had this long. history of being involved in martial. arts and maybe like other people just. think it's too violent but can boxing. make it yeah boxing still a great sport. I love boxing but it seems to be so. unimportant Now by comparison to UFC. don't you think I think well you know. Dana is working with the the kingdom of. Saudi Arabia they're they're going to. start promoting boxing now and with Dan. at the helm of it I think boxing can. return because the thing is they want to.
make fights that other PE maybe you know. promoters don't want to make because. they want to protect their fighter. controversial fights where you know it's. dangerous like you don't know this guy. could lose and so the Saudis they're. smart they just offer a tremendous. amount of money and they're putting. together Fighter fights that no one else. can put together they're doing that in. boxing if Dan is involved he'll probably. make it good you know the amazing thing. though the the in fighting no UFC. fighter they say has ever died and it. looks to me much more violent than bucks.
many boxers have died isn't it. interesting and Dana tells me because. they take so many shots to the face yes. and there's also no other options to. preserve yourself to protect yourself so. if you get hit in a UFC fight you can. clinch you can try to take the fight to. the ground you get options also you. don't get allowed to get knocked down. and then get back up when you get. knocked down you're concussed and. generally you know if a guy's really. hurt they could be finished in in on the. ground and the fight's over if it's. boxing you have 10 seconds to get up you. get up your head kind of clears but.
you're still in real bad trouble and. then you can kind of run away and. survive until the bell rings they're. only three minute rounds and then you. start again so you're getting repeated. punishment to the Head yeah you know and. then there's also the issue of guys. weight cutting you know which is a. problem with the UFC as well but weight. cutting in boxing has led to if you look. at deaths in boxing there's very few of. them in the heavyweight division most of. the deaths in box in or the lightweight. divisions because when guys dehydrate. themselves to to to lose weight to make. weight their brain is the last thing. that gets rehydrated like it's very.
difficult to completely rehydrate. hydrate your brain quickly and you only. have 24 hours between the weighin and. the fight and it used to be the. weigh-ins were the day of the fight like. when when boom boom manini had a fight. with Duku Kim and killed him in the ring. which is one of the last ones on. television that we've seen that's right. that was a crazy event for people and. heartbreaking and it L to a bunch of. different changes and one of them is day. before we to allow people to rehydrate. better and the other one is they dropped. it from 15 rounds down to 12 which look.
they should do that I you know I'm not. I'm not the fighter so but those 15. round fights were unbelievable they were. unbelievable un unbel you go back Golden. Age yeah in terms of entertainment oh. yeah those were the the championship RS. those were the greatest fights those. last three rounds were crazy I mean it's. such a war of attrition you know a lot. of people think even like a five round. UFC fight that the UFC is f minute. rounds it's so much energy you're. burning out and those last couple of. rounds those five round fights the.
fourth and the fifth round unbelievably. brutal who's the greatest UFC fighter in. you are you allowed to say in your. opinion it's tough for you to say. because you do this but who do you think. is the greatest of the fighters there's. there there's a lot of arguments for. who's the greatest of all time you know. uh John Jones most people would say he. the greatest of all time never lost uh. it's a there certainly a really good. argument for that there's another. argument for George St Pierre uh I. always leave in BJ Penn in his prime. Anderson Silva in his prime um you know.
Mighty Mouse people forget about Mighty. Mouse because unfortunately he's a. smaller guy he's 125 pounds flyweight. Champion he's one of the greatest. expressions of mixed martial arts I've. ever seen I think to this day what kabib. is fantastic but if you looked at like. accomplishments in terms of championship. fights kabib retired 29 and0 but he. didn't have as many. they say he might have lost to glaz and. Tau he might have lost to him might have. lost round and that was a controversial.
fight where people think that glaz and. Tau could have even got the decision in. that fight I'd have to go back and watch. it again to make a decision but uh. they're great athletes oh the best. athletes in the world and the the most. dangerous sport in terms of like it's I. always call it highlevel problem solving. with dire physical consequences it's. just brutal that's what fighting is you. know I I never forget so there was a. fighter named James T Tony oh yeah I. love James Tony he fought as a very. light fighter and he ended up as a. heavyweight this guy went through. everything he was almost like a.
lightweight he went from middleweight. all the way up to heavyweight yeah beat. holfield as a heavyweight and he was a. real fighter oh yeah so James Tony and I. think it was uh St George uh George St. Pierre St Pierre I think it was him who. did he fight James Tony no um James Tony. didn't fight George he fought a UFC. fighter yeah Randy cure fought James. Tony was it that was like an easy fight. that was a very easy fight Randy cotour. just took him down and it was the most. and he's half the size and he just once.
he got to the ankles in fact the announc. said it's over yeah took him down. mounted him strangled him it was pretty. he was but he was talking big because he. was much bigger he was a pretty big guy. think James just wanted to make some. money and you think so but I never. forgot it it was over very quickly and. he was lying sleeping on the mat and he. was talking you know he was doing the. Muhammad Ali stuff but it didn't work. out but I remember the fight yeah that. was cure probably yeah it was cure. George never fought a boxer in an MMA. fight if he did he would kill him was he.
was he one of the greatest yes. unquestionably that's the the argument. there's like a handful of guys you can. make the argument is the greatest of all. time people forget about Anderson Silva. in his prime he was Unstoppable it's but. that's the thing is and then there's. Fedor milliano who fought in Pride in. his prime he was Unstoppable there's. there's this and you have a couple now. that are pretty good oh we've got so. many now Alex Pereira. there's an argument that he's the topfor. fighter in the world now he's it's. unbelievable but it's like Fighters can. only compete at that level for so many.
years and so my opinion you have to. judge them at their very Peak you can't. judge them when they're hanging on and. still fighting you can't judge them when. they're coming up you got to judge them. in that Championship peak in that. Championship Peak there's a handful of. guys that you would consider at the very. top if they stopped a little bit sooner. yeah some of them would have had you. know I mean there are a couple of that. you just mentioned without mentioning. names and they stopped they had the. perfect they were unbelievable and then. at a certain age they start getting. knocked out right yes it's unfortunate.
but the thing is that same belief in. themselves that lets them become a. champion makes them think that they can. do it long past the time that they. actually can well Anderson Silva was. essentially unbeatable and then he lost. a CL one and then all of a sudden he had. no he got knocked out he got knocked out. by Chris Weidman right uh he was kind of. clowning in that fight famously and C. Chris Weidman had a vicious left hook. knocked him out and then they fought a. second time and he broke his leg on. Chris Weidman right that's right and. after that fight he was kind of never. the same because that that leg break.
injury which Conor McGregor had there's. quite a few Fighters Wiman actually W up. having the same injury ironically. there's only been like you're never the. same cuz you can't kick never the same. well you can Weidman is still kicking. with that leg you can but. psychologically when you throw a kick. and your leg snaps in half and you're in. agony for a year right you have to get. surgery you have to get bolts and plates. keep your leg together and then it takes. forever for it to heal it always amazed. me how the kicker I mean you have those. cases but the kicker will do tremendous.
damage to somebody's leg but their leg. doesn't seem to get damaged isn't it. sort of it does get damaged it hurts. more than you yeah but your shin you you. your shin gets very numb after a while. and guys that are really good kickers. they're kicking the thigh and they're. kicking the C they kicking soft areas. and they're slamming this hard numb Shin. their Shin gets all these like micro. fractures all over the shin and it. calcifies like these guys can kick. baseball bats you ever see them break. baseball bats with their Shins It's.
Crazy some guys can do two baseball bats. someone will hold the baseball bat and. they just kick right through them I. watch your enthusiasm now right yeah and. it's like that's why you're good at what. that's why nobody does this better that. without the enthusiasm forget it well it. has to be authentic like that I mean the. only reason why I do MMA commentary is. cuz I I'm very interested in it for real. it's I'm not I don't have to manufacture. it I'm very interested so I and you love. going in there after the fight and. they're sweating all over you they're. slopping all over you you're B on.
they're bleeding does that bother you a. little bit Yeah like two weeks ago with. a guy was he I never saw Round Tree yeah. he more stuff came out of his nose yes. it was pretty nasty but no I'm very used. to it I just wanted him to be able to. express himself you've done a great job. thank you you've done a great job so. back to you and back to what what are. you and first of all I love this idea of. you teaming up with Robert Kennedy right. and I love this make America healthy. again idea because there are chemicals.
and ingredients and in our food that are. illegal in other countries because. they've been shown to be toxic there's. pesticides and herbicides and there's a. lot of that's been sprayed on our. food that really is unnecessary and. there's a lot of Health consequences. that people are suffering from a lot of. these things and to chart for you. beautiful because I had a feeling you'd. be asking me look at this chart these. are healthier countries look where the. United States is I'm going to send this. to RFK Junior look so this is uh well.
something along the I was actually. talking to RFK today and he told me that. more than 70% of young men are. ineligible for the military because of. their health I could say it that's a lot. of it's obesity so here's the life. expectancy vers versus Health. expenditure same. yeah did you see that USA that's pretty. good Jam's the best he's very good he's. the best no but look at that look at the. US not good and that's our food that's.
our diet that's that's sedentary. lifestyle that's our diet that's the. chemicals we ingest that's what that is. but RFK is going to be very you know I. think he's a great guy I I love the fact. that you guys teamed up and are you guys. are you completely committed to have him. a part of your Administration oh I am. but the only thing I want to be a little. careful about with him is. uh the environmental because you know he. doesn't like oil I love oil and gas I. think you know I think keep him out of. that to fire so I'm going to sort of. keep him out of a little I said focus on.
health Focus you can do whatever you. want but I got to be a little bit. careful with the liquid gold you know I. understand um but listen there's plenty. of good work that could be done if you. focus on health here's the one that. here's the one that my all-time favorite. though see the arrow right here that's. what I left do you have anyone that is. pressuring you to not work with him have. have there been people RFK Jr there yes. I would imagine because financially he. could put it I would say that and you.
know the I think in many ways they've. done a good job and many ways they've. done a bad job but I would say that the. uh big. Pharma wasn't thrilled when they heard. that you don't have a Rel I've actually. always gotten along very well with him. I've known him a long time he's a. different kind of a guy he's very smart. great guy and he's very sincere about. this I mean he really is you know he. thinks we we spend a fortune on. pesticides and all this stuff and then. you end up with that chart is a terrible.
chart the one previous it's such a bad. chart when you look at where we are. compared to other countries that don't. spend 10 cents so you know and you save. a lot of money but yeah we I've had some. people that aren't exactly. thrilled you can imagine right sure it's. a good question actually well certainly. if there have it doesn't affect me some. pharmaceutical drugs that have been. prescribed that have negative. consequences that these people have been. profiting off of and then you have a guy. like RFK Jr who spends an enormous.
amount of time highlighting those things. you could say how they' be very. reluctant to have you support him I. would say that's an understatement yes. yeah so how what do you do to stop that. from getting in the way well look. they've come up with some amazing things. I mean I don't know how you feel I know. you're against the VAC certain vaccines. but like the polio vaccine people had. Polio they were it was like a. disaster and they came up Dr sulk and he. came up with a vaccine and there's no. polio now it very interesting there.
hasn't been polio but now in the Gaza. Strip can you believe that have you. heard that there's been a big strain of. polio coming out in the Gaza Strip is it. vaccine derived polio because you know. there's there's a strain of polio that. comes directly from the vaccine because. unfortunately sometimes you vaccinate. people for poo see I haven't heard that. yeah yeah I mean all I can do is I sit. down and listen to him and and I'll give. it a total I would love him to be right. because it's if he's right it's a lot. less expensive generally there two.
things that people point to when they. point to uh the the dangers of uh the. pharmaceutical drug industry one thing. is when pharmaceutical drugs were. allowed to advertise on television we're. only one of two countries in the world. that allow pharmaceutical drugs to. advertise on TV the other one's New. Zealand but they're they're more. restrictive than we are people are those. ads Those ads you hear like you know. take a certain drug and then you hear. all theen it causes cancer and boldness. we don't like boldness this and that and. iight and you can lose your vision and.
you know I just I actually asked one of. these guys I would never take I me. because there's things that are so bad. they go through a whole list I guess. they save some liability but man I said. does that affect the purchase and they. say it really does when they when. there's something you have and you read. and then they go through the list of. side effects potential side it's not. even the potential side effects I mean a. lot of people are just I I asked that. question people hear that when I hear it.
I I'm going to take a p that says may. affect your vision may cause blindness. may this yes and but well I know you're. aware of call and Casey means right yes. well one of one of the things that they. pointed out and this is a very important. thing for people to understand is what a. lot of these drugs do is they they act. to to some or another mitigate the. effects of poor metabolic Health uh but. most of these problems that these people. are suffering from wouldn't exist if we. put an emphasis on metabolic Health if.
people got healthier they started eating. nutritious food and taking vitamins a. whole host of these problems that people. are having would go away and the problem. with that from the pharmaceutical drug. standpoint is they wouldn't be able to. sell drugs to these people and this is a. fear the pesticides and things like that. on the plants and the what do you think. of that it's terrible well I think. regenerative agriculture unfortunately. is very difficult to scale to a point. where you got a Jack In The Box on every. corner that's right if everybody wants. food and we have food deserts and we.
have places like Los Angeles where no. one's growing anything and everything. has to be shipped in and it's very. difficult to feed that many people we've. created this incredible Society where we. have these enormous cities but it's in. it's very difficult to get food to these. people and then for a lot of these. people in lowincome areas the only food. that's available is cheap unhealthy F. that's right and we could fix that that. that's if we could send $175 billion to. Ukraine we could do something to fix a. lot of the health problems that the.
United States has and I think it would. it would help us as a nation overall. just if you just put it out there that. hey as a nation we're going to make a. concerted effort to get people healthier. just put it out there and people start. making better choices well when you look. at that chart I I was I just they just. gave me that chart because they said you. may want to discuss this topic which I. know is a big topic for you and when I. looked at that chart and I looked at how. unhealthy we are as a nation that's a. that's a pretty big thing how are you so.
healthy is it golf no it's genetics I. believe you know I'm a big gentics has a. big factor I really am I mean my father. was uh unfortunately it is a big factor. for health some people are just way more. robust but you do play golf a lot and. that is both of my parents it it's for. me it's good fres it really is it's. fresh you're outside um. even mentally you're focused on that. three-footer and for some for a couple. of hours you're not and I go quick I. play Fast real fast and I'm I'm in I'm.
out but you know it gives me I was never. one that could like run on a treadmill I. just and I can do it you know when. passing a physical they asked me to run. on a treadmill and then they make it. steeper and steeper and. steeper and the doctor said it was at. Walter re they said it's unbelievable I. could have got I'm telling you I felt I. could have gone all day but I I said doc. I can do this all day long I'm not I. have no problem but it's boring to me do. you understand it's just boring golf's. exciting but I did it for so long they.
couldn't believe it that I did it and I. never you know I don't do it I don't. really you know I have friends who run. in this stuff all day long but I had no. problem doing it but it's really boring. so with with golf or something you know. or tennis or whatever but golf as you. get older there's something really good. about it and you have competition with. yours. it's a great handicap Sport and it's. also a thing I think that's uh it cleans. your mind because when you're looking at. a a shot that's all you can think of.
when you're executing it gives you a. couple of you know it's interesting like. with tennis if you're much better than. somebody you can't really play with. somebody you know it doesn't work you. can give them sort of the equivalent of. Strokes right but it's not the with golf. you can play with a lousy guy and give. him a stroke a hole or two strokes a. hole or something you know it's a good. handicapping sport but it gives me a. little exercise but I haven't played uh. in a long time I won a lot of I won 32. Club championships can didn't you play. right after you got shot uh no where I.
what I did is I played with Bryson D. Shambo do you know Bryson yes the pro. uhhuh he's a great player and we played. it was a certain thing that we played I. guess called breaking 50 or something 50. we play From a Certain te and if you can. break 50 and it got tremendous ratings. sort of like a crazy thing it got he's a. great guy but wasn't that like a couple. of days after you got shot I don't know. I I know I that was one of the funniest. things you were on the golf course I. think I did yeah maybe I did but I you.
know I view it very interestingly I'm. running for president of the United. States to me it's such a big deal it's. so important so I've got now the biggest. deal in the Free World it's it's a. hundred times bigger than the Super Bowl. and it's one person yeah so you're down. to two people and we start off at 9. billion cuz you have nine PE 9 billion. they say in the world who knows what. that number is but you get down to 350.
million sadly we have no idea what we. have in this country but let's assume. it's 325 350 and you're down to two. people it's a biggest thing in the world. and when I heard she took off yesterday. and she took off the day before and. she's going to take off tomorrow or the. next day I haven't taken a day off in. 56 days that's a long time I haven't. taken one day off I don't I didn't I. don't want to play golf this is too. exciting golf is great but this is too. exciting this is more exciting than.
anything you can do and the also it's. the home. stretch it's the home stretch who would. take a day off so we have 11 days left. now and think of it so I think I've gone. 54 55 days in a row no days off and I. make speeches often times you know. sometimes not but I make speeches and. when you make a speech am my speeches. last a long time because of the weave. you know I mean I weave stories into it. and if you don't if you just read a. teleprompter nobody's going to be very. excited you got to weave it out so you.
but you always have to as you say you. always have to get right back to where. yeah otherwise it's no good but the. weave is very very important very few. Weavers around but it's a big strain on. your you know it's a big it's a lot of. work it's a lot of work uh you got to be. careful of the voice you can lose that. voice The Voice wasn't designed I said. today so I made a big one last night I. was in Las Vegas big one the night. before in Arizona big one I mean they're.
all big we have the there's never been. anything like it in terms of crowd never. been close never been close they say he. talks about crowd says you know what's. very interesting so we get crowds that. are really big and I say you know I've. never had a story because I don't get. good press I don't think I've had a good. story in years I really don't I don't I. swear I don't think I you you were. talking about it a little bit with Oprah. everybody loved me I don't think I. became president of the United.
States I did great the second time I did. much better I I don't want to get you in. in any disputes but I won that second. election so easy and not just because of. but let me let me get to that let's I. want to talk to you about that but. here's the thing I did that and now I've. gotten the nomination again and don't. forget to get these nominations you go. against very smart people Ronda Sanz was. hot got to go through him uh Nikki Haley. was hot had to go through her I went. through everybody record time right. record time I got three nominations a.
row uh won the first time did much. better the second time you know I get. millions of votes more the second time. and now I'm doing it a third time and. and it's an incredible thing I never get. a good story I only get bad press now I. will say this it's a lot easier if. you're a Democrat if I were a Democrat. you get a lot of positive PRS I would. get a lot of positive PR no it's a it's. a creepy corrupt business and the the. media to a large extent acts as a.
propaganda arm for the Democratic party. it's not it's not even believable yeah. it's believe I mean it's bizarre to. watch and mo you know most young people. I think are aware of it I think most. Boomers still unfortunately read the. newspapers and believe in CNN but it's. getting younger let me tell you it's. getting for us for a conservative and. you know I don't myself the Internet. it's cuz the internet's giving people. information that they're not getting. from anywhere else and they like the the. very fine people hoax the Russia gate.
hoax all these different things they've. done they tried to pin on you that's. like it's a clear Distortion of what you. actually said the blood bath hooks I was. talking about the Auto industry it's a. blood bath because Japan and and China. are taking our Auto and I said it's a. blood bath they said ah he used the word. blood bath think it's going to be a. blood bath because they're going to take. over that's exact terrible thing they do. but that's the problem with propagandist. cuz they take things out of context and. of ultimately what they do is they.
diminish their own credibility because. people don't want to listen to anymore. because they see that they've done that. and they recognize what's going on and. they feel insulted they're intelligence. well look at the ratings you know shows. like yours so I have a son who's very. smart and Tall Barren right and he knows. all about you he knows about guys I. never heard of he said dad you don't. know how big they are they're big you. tell me how big I said who the hell is. he like Ross I Did he said Daddy's a.
great guy I mean guys that are doing. it's a whole new world out there it's a. different world and I think you know I'm. I'm on Tik Tok now congratulations and. I've done really well no but you know. the crazy have you seen the numbers. billions like billions of hits it's. crazy I'm sure Tik tok's a wild. application and I've gone up 30 points a. Republican is always down 30 with young. people I'm plus 30 and I'm on T Tik Tok. it's had a huge impact young people are.
rejecting a lot of this woke. young people are tired of being yelled. at and scolded they're they're tired of. these people that they think are. mentally ill telling them what the moral. standards of society should be today. people are upset it's a big there's a. big difference now even in just a couple. of years I was shaking hands with people. they young people the rebels are. Republicans now they're like you want to. be a rebel you want to be punk rock you. want to like Buck the system you're a. conservative now that's the that's how. crazy and then the Liberals are now.
Pro pro- silencing criticism they're. they're Pro censorship online they're. they're talking about regulating free. speech and they regulating the First. Amendment it's bananas to watch Joe they. come after their political opponent well. they I got more guys I always say you. know I kid but I'm not kidding I've been. investigated more than alons Capone he. was the meanest of them all he'd kill. you in two seconds if he didn't like you. right I've been under investigation more.
than alons Capone only because it's. political opponent stuff and I've won I. won the big case in Florida I I'm. winning the other stuff you win but you. know what they did they did something. that's only done in third world. countries they came after their. political opponent I could have put. crooked Hillary in jail well not only. that but they're they weaponizing it by. saying that that's what you're going to. do once you get in office ignoring what. they're doing right now it's crazy I. heard it somebody was defending me today.
say no that's they say that's what. you're doing to him they're going he's. going to put us in jail he's going to. invest they said what you're that's what. you're doing to him a lot of people say. will you do that will you do that to him. if to them if you win you know it's the. presidency has tremendous power I could. have put crooked Hillary I respected. that you didn't because what you said. was it would be bad for the country no I. can't I couldn't even imagine you have. first of all Secretary State but more. importantly the wife of the president of. the United States of America going into.
jail and if you ever saw when I'd say. something about her they all say I. didn't say it I never said it they say. lock her up lock her up and I'd always. go take it easy just relax we're going. to win this thing take it easy take it. easy and I'm telling you I kept it down. just the opposite now they say oh Trump. wanted to put her in jail no I saved her. from going to jail they had more stuff. on her and Comey had it because when. Comey got up and he stupidly because. he's a stupid guy too he goes a he's a.
stupid son of a he got up Joe he. got up and instead of saying she's. innocent of all charges he went over. each charge and each charge was a killer. and he go and as far as her doing. this she's innocent and this and then. she's only a unfair Pro secutor for. would go but every time you heard these. charges they sounded so bad they were. bad and all it was is he wanted more air.
time if he would have gone up and said. I've thoroughly investigated Hillary. Clinton and she's done nothing that we. feel is wrong it would have ended. instead he wanted to be up there because. he's a he's a PR Hound he's a hog and he. starts going through the and you know. what he had they had a huge problem. because FBI is great the people there. not the top people the people the real. people the people that work there it's. like the real generals that I told you. about that defeated Isis in record time.
the FBI guys are great I'll bet you I'd. be at 95% in the FBI I bet that's right. underneath yeah and and so here's the. thing so he goes with Hillary and. instead of just saying he goes through. each charge right and even I was saying. man those are bad charges sounds. terrible cuz. those chares don't forget this is before. I got there now he was trying to protect. her but he did her a great disservice. because he wanted attention he was. stupid so I want to I want to talk about.
2020 because you said over and over. again that you were robbed in 2020. totally what how do you think you were. robbed everybody always cuts you off I'm. G to allow well they not only cut you. off well what I'd rather do is we'll do. it another time and I would bring in. papers that you would not believe so. many different papers. that election was so crooked it was the. most crooked election okay but give me. some examples of how well let's start. let's start from the top and the easy. ones okay they were supposed to get.
legislative approval to do the things. they did and they didn't get it in many. cases they didn't get it what things. anything legis approval like for. extensions of the voting for for for. voting earlier for this all different. things by law they had to get. legislative approvals you don't have to. go any further than that if you take a. look at. Wisconsin uh they virtually admitted. that the election was rigged robbed and. stolen they wouldn't give access in.
certain areas to the ballots because the. ballots were in signed they weren't. Originals they were we could go into. this stuff we could go into the ballots. or we could go into the overall I'll. give you another one are you going to. present this ever uh like do you do you. think like just give you one more. before 51 intelligence Agents come up. that the laptop was from Russia it.
turned out to be totally false 51 Former. Intelligence agents right they say that. made I don't believe it's this much but. it doesn't have to I won by like I lost. by like I didn't lose but they say I. lost Joe they say I lost by 22,000 votes. that's like one tenth of 1% less than. that it's a tiny little thing 22,000. votes spread over the that's spread over. this this period so 51 intelligence. agents lied they lied they lied they.
knew it was it was Hunters it was from. his bed it was Hunter's laptop they said. it was created by Russia Russia Russia. it was the Russia hooks the Russia hooks. was a big HX it was all a big hook so. well that's clear one example that is a. good examp that's a big example they say. it made a 17o difference that's a big. example but that's only one and you can. go into the ballots where they wouldn't. give you access to the ballots you could.
go into the ballot harvesting you could. go into $500 million for the lock boxes. but just in terms of narrative so. there's two things right there's the. Russia hoax there's the collusion with. Russia that was never proven right. that's one well it no it's proven it. didn't happen right right but but they. they talked about it on telev two and a. half years to prove but not only that. but it was a constant narrative on. television so that's a constant. narrative that gets into people's minds. especially lwi information people that. just watch the news that you're in. collusion with Russia so that's one so.
that changes the narrative and then you. have the 51 Former Intelligence agents. that work with the original Twitter and. get them to remove links you can't share. it on DMS you cannot share that story. they they swept that story because they. said it was Russian disinformation even. though they knew it was not so that's. two examples that are real examples now. anyone who considers himself a. legitimate objective Observer of. American politics if you really want the.
best person to win you would want people. to not lie and the only reason why they. got away with this lie was because they. continually labeled you as this horrible. threat to democracy and Hitler they kept. saying you're going to be a dictator. ignoring the fact that you wer a. dictator for the four years where you. actually the president I was actually. the opposite of a dictator I was a very. straight guy but look those three things. you take those three things each one of. them by themselves causes the result to. be different okay it does and then you.
can go into a hundred other things there. are so many we can't have corrupt. elections and we can't have open borders. we need a we need you need to have a. country you need borders you need Fair. elections and I'll tell you the other. thing you need is you need a free and. fair press one of the things I like. about doing a show like this can can you. imagine kamla doing this show I could. imagine her doing lay she be laying on. the floor she was supposed to do it and. she might still do it and I hope she. does I will talk to her like a human.
being I will try to have kind of an. interview with you I hope she does. because it would be a mess she'd be. laying on the floor com she' you'd be. saying call in the Medics I think we'd. have a fine conversation I think I'd be. able to talk to her I wouldn't try to. interview her I just try to have a. conversation with her and hopefully get. to know her as a human being that was my. goal. having her on trying to get her to. express herself just as I don't know if. these I don't think these formats are. good I don't think that two people first. of all I hate the idea of the.
presidential debates because I hate the. idea of a Time limitation on complex. ideas also you have to break I think you. have to have the debates to right but. the way they do the debates I think is. the wrong way to do it I think they. should have a conversation I think you. and comma you sit across a table with no. one in the room but the two of you of. course you're not going to shout each. other of course you're not going to. insult I mean it may get they used to it. wouldn't but that would be the way to do. it they used to do it that way cameras. on you with no no one interfering with.
press with with checking whether or not. it's factual especially when it's biased. because they checked you all those times. and they didn't check her with clearly. things that were inaccurate right so. have two people just have a conversation. with without a time constraint and also. this idea they cut off the the the. microphone no crowd no crowd crazy too. because you're good at working a crowd I. would rather have a crowd of course you. would you're good at crowds but I had no. so they gave me an alternative I don't.
think he wanted to debate why did they. want no crowd what was the AR I think. they thought I wasn't going to accept it. so I believe what they wanted to do is. have me not accept so they gave me a. deal I couldn't refuse and I said I'll. do it okay it's like the mob right I'll. take it so they came to me they said. we'll debate Joe Biden you know that. thing got tremendous ratings to that was. crazy but we'll debate Joe Biden but you. can't have a crowd they also wanted. sitting down I said that's the only.
thing I said look you got to you got to. stand up you can't really sit down you. know in the old days they did sit down a. little bit but but he gets tired you got. to stand up and they agreed to it it was. a very tough thing it almost killed it. they wanted to they wanted to have like. desks we we sit I said I think we should. stand up and that was the only thing I. asked for I said we got to stand up. I I thought it looked bad for like the. public but they said no crowd and cut. off the mic and I said I can live with. it I mean I could live with it and they.
thought I was going to reject it and. then they would say he didn't want to. debate sleepy Joe right that's what they. thought was going well they tried to say. that with you and KLA as well they tried. to say that you didn't want to debate. her as well no by the way with her. number one I'm leading number two you. know I didn't they also said it with the. primary so I. had like 10 12 guys right in the primary. no stupid guys I mean you know they. Governors and they Center they're not. stupid people some are stupid but not. all of them and all my guys said you.
have to be in the debate I said why I'm. leading by 74 points the closest guy to. me I'm I'm like 60 points 70 points. higher why would I stand there like an. idiot for two hours and let every one of. them scream at me I'm going to be the. focus what right and I said I'm not. debating and it was a very smart thing. because you know. it was they just killed themselves the. Republican primary yeah the Republican. primaries um with I like debating I. think de I think you have to debate but.
I like I like debating the like the. Rosie O'Donnell debate I like debating. when you have a g remember the rosie. funny crazy thing Megan that was a hell. of a question man if I didn't come up. with that answer well what it was is you. know that was we had 28,000 people that. was the Cleveland Arena where the. Cavaliers played right LeBron James I'm. not a big fan of LeBron James but he is. a good basketball player but you know. that was the and when I said that the. place went crazy and she kept talking no.
she had like 10 other yeah well Megan. said you said it to other people and you. admitted you did but it was funny it was. it was a comedic timing moment it was. fun that's what they wanted it was lucky. I did it because she was drown oh she. wasn't F that question but she kept. talking but you couldn't hear to this. day they don't know what she said but. wasn't buzzing so anyway but we had a. good time I it's comedic timing and. that's the reason why to have a debate a. debate in front of a large audience and. then they prob Smith dinner I got very. good reviews on that great that was.
great it was very funny very funny stuff. the Tim wall stuff was very funny Tim. wall yeah he's funny that's a real be. that's a crazy one she the she said that. she had picked him and this one of the. question I want to ask her when she was. sleep deprived she said she was uh. suffering from sleep deprivation when. she picked him which is just I was he. maybe take a nap so I. okay look let's see how it all turns out. I think we're going to win I think we're. way ahead now I think we're way ahead. but but um can I bring you back to they. lose I I think they're going to look at.
two things they're going to say they. should have had a primary even if it was. a short primary they shouldn't have. picked her and then she's going to say I. shouldn't have picked this guy she. shouldn't have picked that guy that guy. the the lying about tanan Square. admitted that yeah the military record. assisant coach versus head coach little. thing so I did McDonald's last week. I saw that and I actually got a call. from your friends at Google from Sundar. that's pretty good right he said this is. the biggest thing we've had in years you.
McDonald's McDonald's did you know that. it was one of the it was funny who's a. great guy by the way but he said this. McDonald's thing I want to tell you it's. one of the biggest things we've ever had. on Google it just hit but the reason I. did and I actually you know you never. know about this stuff I thought it was a. throwaway M I didn't think our. conversation is a throwaway but I. thought that was I thought I'd walk in. and that was only to highlight the fact. and I I have a friend he owns like 56 of. these McDonald's and he said you want to. use one I said yeah I love it so we went.
there and the crowd was crazy you know. they had 28,000 people s around the. whole thing did you see the outside it. was crazy the cars couldn't get through. Secret Service was not exactly thrilled. we had no idea what the hell but I went. into the place and I did the French FY. thing and it just hit but that's like in. life sometimes you do I thought it was. like a quick throw we're going to be. there for 15 minutes then I said I've. worked here for 15 minutes which is 15. minutes more than she worked here she. lied about McDonald's and you.
know proven that she never she well. McDonald's has no information no she has. no information she there's nobody the. manager said she never worked there you. know it was a certain place and he said. they never no she lied she's a liar you. know what they do they'll say like on. any one of the questions take any. they'll say it's the exact opposite of. what I say IVF he's against IVF the. fertilization right he's and and it's. the exact opposite I was I came out.
immediately strongly in favor and they. do ads I'm against it it's wrong uh on. every single topic and you know she. changed policies on 15 I've never seen a. guy change anybody change on more than. one you know you can maybe get away with. one her whole life fr in every single. thing that she was for uh the. confiscation of gun she wants to conf. now she's saying everybody should have a. gun in fact we're going to get her a. magga cap I'm going to send her a magga.
cap but she's changed and I don't think. people are buying it I don't think. people are buying it well some people. are buying it because they want to buy. it because it's blue no matter who. there's there's a certain percentage of. our population that's going to vote. Democrat no matter what that's true. they're pressured there's their their. Community their ideology it's as good. right is I don't understand why okay you. have a wall or you have a you know I. built 570 mil of wall everyone say I. built a lot of wall exactly the stuff.
but you have a border what I don't. understand is who would want people to. come into our country from places. unknown like sometimes they'll say about. a fighter from Parts Unknown right. remember Hast from Parts he say from. parts and the old days those are the old. days that's even before you but. uh who would want people to come. in pouring into our country we don't. know anything about but that's I want to. ask you this why do you think they're.
doing that I think because do you think. they're trying to buy votes do you think. they just want cheap labor like what is. what's the idea there's a couple of. theories they hate our country they're. stupid or they want to buy votes it's. one of those three things yeah they want. now they are trying to get people. registered who you know don't even know. what the country is and they're trying. to give people amnesty people that live. here they're try. toenship and they. want you think about the amount of money. that they've given them when they've. come here the food stamps the benefits. that even our poor people aren't getting.
$200 billion and and that's a way low. number that's a way low you know it's. it's interesting New York has always. been like uh you know sort of like. always looking for money they've spent a. hundred billion do on this stuff I I. don't know where they and they're not. getting the money from the federal. government it's crazy and because the. mayor came out and said we can't live. like this they investigated him he gets. I by the way I called it I said he just. got himself indicted this group is.
stupid but they're vicious they're. stupid people but they're vicious people. the 2020 elections you say you have all. this evidence that it was rigged why. haven't you put this evidence in a. consumable form and what did oh I did I. have I have books on it and and by the. way books have been written on. it we have an author named Hemingway who. is a great writer she wrote a book on it. but many books have been written on it.
there are books that. are what's happened is judges don't want. to touch it they would say you don't. have standing they didn't rule on the. merits they ruled the merits never got. there the judges didn't have what it. took to turn over an election let's talk. about the potential vulnerabilities for. elections and election fraud one of them. is mail in ballots the other one is. the if someone can break into voting. machines if someone can hack voting.
machines those are two huge. ones Elon Musk I think he said it. publicly I hope he did because I. wouldn't want to be the one but he's a. really smart guy and he's a very good. guy with computers right you'd say he's. he's one of the smartest people Al alive. anybody that can land that 20 story. building. and perfect and while he's doing. starlink while he's talk while he owns. Twitter and then he agrees to starlink. and he tweets 100 times a day he's an. amazing guy right he said to me that.
unless you have paper ballots it can. never be an honest election that's a big. statement it's a big statement we should. go to paper ballots you know France did. they went the mail in voting and it was. all messed up you know the amazing thing. with the machines so we have the. machines they cost 10 times paper ballot. would cost 8% and they make paper. ballots they all watermarked and. everything else very sophisticated but. if you take a look paper ballots 8% the.
cost and you're done by 9:00 in the. evening right now we have the. sophisticated machine it goes up to. heaven it goes all over the place and. down and around and they say we'll need. two weeks to figure out who the hell won. the election do you think that's by. Design yeah I do I think it's I think. it's very crooked that's my opinion. you're allowed to have it opinion what. could let's say you win in November what. can be done to mitigate these problems. what could be done at a you know at the. level that the president has power well.
if I win that'll be this will be my last. election but I think I owe it to the. country yeah but I think I owe it to the. country we have to have Fair elections. so how can you fix that you know Jimmy. Carter was the in charge of a commission. you know that many years ago and they. put him in scoop Jackson and very. Senators you know distinguished people. that were retired and they came up with. a report and the report's primary. finding was you cannot have mailin. ballots because if it's a mailin ballot.
you know I went to the voting booth the. last time whatever it was and I walked. in in Palm Beach and I walk in and they. know me they say Mr President could I. see your identific bom here's this. here's that everything and then you sit. and you they watch you sign and you. really there's not a lot you can do I. mean if you want it to be dishonest it's. sort of beautiful right if instead of. that I'm going to send them a ballot. right it has to go through the Postal.
Services it has to go through a lot of. people they mail you houses that you. know the house was demolished and the. people have left and it it's so bad the. one thing with Jimmy Carter he had a. very strong commission who no mail and. bels and we're the only one that does. elections this way anymore they've. gotten away from them and this is a it. ticked up in a big way after Co it used. to be like soldiers serving overseas. they used to cheat yeah well they used. Co to certainly push this mail and. ballot another thing but that's but they.
used Co to cheat but here's another and. the last election was a little bit of a. you couldn't even get security guys big. strong guys to watch you know what you'd. call them they'd call them and this they. were afraid to go out you know we had we. were in the middle of. Co we were in the middle of Co it right. smack in the middle and they didn't want. to die you know they didn't want to. catch it it was like in a way it was we. it was like a ghost. town and the whole thing but mail and.
ballots are bad thing bad thing that. that certainly is is a problem Ma mail. and ballots are problem problem vo ID a. voter ID voter ID is the most bizarre. argument that I've never seen anybody. articulate in a way that's convincing. why don't need voter well it doesn't. make makes sense any other way I've. tried to strawman it or I've tried to. Steelman it rather I've tried to like. look at it from a position like why. would you not want people to have ID and. a lot of the ideas are just ridiculous.
the you need an ID to get a driver's. license okay but here's now the next. step Gavin nsam one of the worst. governors in the. world and I used to frankly I used to. get along but I don't get along with him. because he's just too you know it's just. a whole con job but Gavin nusum the. other day signed a bill. that you are not allowed to ask a person. even ask them whether or not they have. voter ID now what could be a Char reason. why anybody they want that would be the.
only thing that makes sense that's. taking it to the next level right now. you know you have ID the Democrat. National Convention when they had it the. last time I saw they had a sign like a. billboard on the the name of the person. where they live how they live who the. hell their boyfriends are every single. it was and a big picture that's for. there they have an ID a big ID it was. hanging like you were a prisoner it they. had these massive cards everything and.
yet when it comes to the vote in theory. the most important thing we do okay when. you go to a grocery store you give ID. but for a vote it's supposed to be a. sacred thing and it it should be a. sacred thing no voter ID because they. want to cheat well it doesn't make sense. in any other way I've tried to look at. it there's no other way there I there's. no argument that anybody's presented. that makes any sense why you know the. funny thing Joe the Democrats the people. they all think you should have it in. other words you should have if you go to. the people Mrs Schwarz Mrs Smith Mr Mrs.
Jones sure they say of course yeah. Democrats they say yes it's the. politicians that don't want it like. Schumer and these guys they don't want. it because they want to be able to cheat. because you know what if they didn't. have it okay who is going to vote for. somebody that wants open borders who's. going to vote for somebody that wants to. have uh Men playing in women's sports. you know I have never had one person. come up to me and say president you got.
to do something to allow men to play in. women's sports have you ever just like. I've never been called by a Polster I. told you my little theory on polsters. okay I'm getting myself in trouble with. some of these things but I don't really. care nobody's ever come up to me and. said we want to have men playing women's. sports and you know I had I had a funny. thing at a property I own in California. I have a woman who's a very good athlete. and she works there as a manager and.
Brian eracer the big uh Chicago Bear. great player you know uh ttime Allstar I. guess Hall of Famer a great guy big. strong guy and they she said oh he's one. of my favorite athletes can I have a. picture and I took a picture and I sent. and I noticed she was the size of his. leg his leg was bigger than she was and. I put it out should men play in women's. sport the whole it was just so. ridiculous um what's one of the most. bizarre and polarizing ideas that's. promoted by the left but who wants it.
now unless you're going to cheat in. elections you're never going to get. nobody wants it I don't think anybody. wants it I've never I've been told. everything you know you can some people. want. this I don't know if anybody that wants. open borders nobody's ever come up to me. and say president you got to let the. world come into our country right now if. they won so they have 21 million I think. it's much higher than that because you. have Goda aways you know Goda aways. where they just walk in they walk in by. and the other thing you have is human. traffickers you have traffickers and. they traffic in women and they're going.
wild now we used to you know you have to. look the trunk of cars can you believe. it they put women in trunks they'll put. three women in a trunk these people are. savages they're horrible the worst. people the you and they're making the. kind of money they make on drugs they're. almost making on trafficking now and the. thing that's made it hot is the internet. that's what you know you think of it. almost as an ancient thing but it's the. internet but who would want to have. these things who would want to have. there's so many the transgender.
operations where they're allowed to take. your child when he goes to school and. turn him into a male to a female without. parental consent who wants this does. anybody want this I've never heard of. anyone and I can go into 10 different. things the only way they get them is by. no voter ID you can't have voter ID they. don't want any they want to cheat. there's only one reason cuz the voter ID. is so basic it's the most basic thing.
it's very basic who would want this they. want it so they can cheat because their. policies are no good their Pol I'll tell. you they're very smart when it comes to. that they're very smart although they're. not smart in terms of uh politics in a. way because what do they have that. people want they really don't have they. give away a lot of Health Care a lot of. stuff but for the most part their. policies are terrible their policy on. Military she's running on a tax she's. going to raise your taxes you got to. hear this we are going to raise your.
taxes and the people clap but who is. going to win with her all my life I grew. up with politicians lower. taxes she's she's politi in that we are. going to raise your taxes well they want. to raise the idea is you want to raise. the taxes to the highest earners I know. but they think Millionaires and. billionaires are not paying their Fair. shares it doesn't work that way well. it's a narrative right and it's a. narrative that appeals to people that. are not doing well and like yeah our. problems are that these rich people are.
not paying taxes well the problems are. the rich people are going to leave and. they're going to close up their. companies and then the other people. aren't going to have jobs you know. that's what happens it does happen in. other countries but the the whole. because you you brought it up I'll tell. you what we just uh uh he's doing a very. good job in Virginia Glenn yunan I don't. know if you like him not like him I. don't know but they oh you don't I'm the. governor of Virginia so we have a case. where they found thousands of illegal. ballots a judge just rulle that they. have to be able to vote just happened.
today just before I walked in here I. heard uh a judge just ruled that you. have to keep those people in they're. illegal they're illegal votes now I. think they'll be overturned at the next. court one thing I found because I had a. couple of things that they got. overturned a little bit you know the. system because the system. you have to hope that the appella judges. are honest otherwise we don't have a. country anymore it's very important but. the whole thing with the legal ballots.
has got to be looked at you got to have. you have to have voter ID and you have. to have additional ID you have to have. an ID that shows that you're a citizen. of the country I agree they don't want. that either I agree um one of the things. that I want to talk to you about is the. JFK files and one of the things that you. said was that if they showed you what. they showed me this was your quote you. wouldn't want people to know it. either um. so I I opened them up.
partially I was met with from good. people I mean you know look at me good. people people that were well-meaning. Mike Pompeo was one of them he's a good. person uh they called me they said sir. would rather have you not after and I. did open them. but I was asked by some people not to. open them there's a Martin Luther King. file too by the way that they'd like to. see I don't know if you know but there. is that but but JFK in particular so.
they call me a lot of good people call. me people that I you know that you would. find reasonable people and they asked me. not to do it so I said well we'll close. it for another time but if I win I'm. going to open them up I'm just going to. open enough times why didn't you open it. up the first time though what was the. hesitation though addresses people that. are still living there are people that. are affected um and there could be some. National Security reason that for you. know that I don't have to necessarily. know about but some very good talented.
people asked me not to do it I opened it. up and then they said would it be. possible for us to do that a different. day what how much of it did you read. into uh. uh I think it's going to be just fine to. open it let me put it that way I think. it's fine it's going to be time it's a. cleansing you know it's really a. cleansing so I'm going to do it I'm. going to do it immediately almost. immediately upon entering office well. the thing when people look at it from. the outside and you sort of imagine what.
could be a reason why they would not. release those files it would be there's. people that were implicated. assassination yeah well when there. living people you generally tend not to. want to do it when people are still. living living people that formerly work. for the government for the government. and living people that were somehow. involved in it and you tend not to do. that but it's time to open them um I. can't tell you whether or not uh they're.
going to find anything of interest and I. did partially open I think I I've opened. 50% but I was asked not to do it and I I. I thought that was a reasonable ask but. now I'm going to do it I'm going to do. it very soon there's a lot of interest. in it one of the things that there's a. lot of interest in uh the uh people. coming from space you know yes and I. know you're interested in oh I'm very. interested in that how much did they. tell you about that a lot really yeah. what' they tell you how much can you. tell so I how's that work is it like. super top secret tell you know well.
based on Hunter Biden I can say whatever. the hell I want right but no but I. interviewed a few people it's never been. my thing I have to be honest I I have. never been a Believer I have people that. area 51 or whatever it is I think it's. the number one tourist attraction in the. whole country or something Area 51 at. Las V do you know that right sure I know. what it is so anyway but it's a big. tourist thing so I interviewed jet. Pilots that say they saw something if.
you saw them you'd love to have them as. I've had a couple in here Commander. David fraver yeah I had him in who had. that sighting in 2004 very very. compelling with visual video evidence. radar evidence I Brian Graves I don't. believe his name but I I interviewed jet. Pilots that uh were solid people the. perfect I mean great Pilots great. everything and they said we saw things. sir that were were very strange like a.
round ball but it wasn't a comet or a. meteor it was something and it was going. four times faster than an F22 which is a. very fast plan you. know and it was round um which isn't in. theory a great shape so when you were. talking to these people was was this. something thing that you were compelled. to have conversations about was this. your personal interest a little bit it. it's not a great interest for me but. it's a little interest I get that. question as much as almost any question.
do you think that we have aliens coming. you know flying around or whatever what. do you. think there's no reason not to I mean. there's no reason not to think that Mars. and all these planets don't have life. you know because well Mars we've had. probes there and Rovers and I don't. think there's any life there well maybe. it's life that we don't know but maybe. well maybe there was life there at one. point in time this is the speculation. about Mars that Mars had a an atmosphere. at one point in time a long time ago. that could support life it ALS also had. large bodies of water but we've had no.
evidence of even bacterial life that. exists on Mars but the univ not been a. big thing for me I mean when I looked at. what China did to this ad they would. have never done it with me where they. put the balloon up and a lot of people. thought and a lot of people thought for. a little while that that was one of. these things well that's a lot of the. speculation too that some of these. drones that hover over battleships that. these are Chinese drones and that. they're not UFOs they could be also. there's some super sophisticated I did. interview a let's say three or four guys. that and without tremendous interest if.
you had. them as I said you'd love to have me as. your children solid beautiful people. they said sir there's something there. you know they' there's something they. said it yeah yeah I've talked to quite a. few of them they're not conspiracy guys. well I mean the just the commander David. fraver thing in 2004 off the coast of. San Diego they clocked that thing going. from 50,000 feet above sea level to 50. in a second yeah they don't know what it. is that's tough to beat yeah they they.
saw something in the water it was. hovering over that something that was. making a disturbance in the water they. got video evidence of this thing two. different fighter jets with pilots in. them saw it there's you know Visual. Evidence photographic evidence video. evidence radar evidence whatever the. hell it is it moves in a way that would. turn a human being into Jello if they. inside of it the GeForce no one would. survive like what is that and we don't. they it doesn't have a heat signature. they don't know what their propulsion. system was but when you fly in some of.
these. jets these Pilots have to be in great. shape oh yeah I flew with the Blue. Angels once yeah I got the fly I guess. and those are older machines and they're. crazy when you when you fly in. somebody's things amazing yeah but you. got to be special but these things these. people are en counting are far superior. to what we know of yeah do is it. possible that there's some military or. government program that you weren't that. they didn't tell you.
about I I think I had a great. relationship with the military basically. but you know I didn't like certain. people I would have gotten them out if I. thought if I were if the election was. different I would have fired you know. all of them quickly some most of them I. did fire uh Biden should have fired. every military person involved with. Afghanistan he should have had a lot of. firings you know if you look at him he. told Israel not to do anything and at. least Israel's not going to looking at a. bomb the way they would have been think. if they listen to Biden they'd be.
waiting for a bomb to drop on their head. right. now he's been wrong about so much I. guess you'd have to say that she's been. wrong too because you know they she. always said they made the decision. together but uh Israel didn't follow his. advice and I think it was a very uh you. know there it's a very the Middle East. is rapidly changing you know there are. prophets that say the world will come to. an end in the Middle East you know that. right and we have weapons today that are.
so scary when you look I rebuilt them. all and when you look at the weapons we. have today the biggest threat we have in. the world today is nuclear weapons and. we have other weapons too that are. devastating but the nuclear weapons the. biggest threat we have in the world. today and that's what. you I was talking about deescalation. with both China and Russia I'm telling. you we were going to deescalate they. were going to deescalate you got to be. careful we it's a little tricky playing.
with them because they say we're going. to do it and they don't do it maybe but. they understood the curse too it's a. curse it's uh China's way behind us but. they'll catch us within five years so. let's imagine let's let's say you win in. November what do you do differently and. how do you change this course that it. seems we are on for World War II how do. you get us out of Ukraine how do you. stop what's going on in the Middle East. how do you put a stop to this well it's. it's a very uh to me it's an easy.
question because I think I can do it. easily but it's a complex question in. the sense that the times change every. day. changes uh who's winning who's not. winning I mean Russia is a war machine. whether you like it or not it Just. grinds along grinds along you speak to. people like Victor Oran he'll tell you. it's a just a big fat War Machine and. that's what's happening you look at. what's happened to. Ukraine if I were there it would have. never happened but what you what could.
you do now if you get into office in. January what could you do right now uh. you would get both of them I know both. very well and and again I I I cannot I. do not want to tell you you know for the. purpose of looking smart to fight people. that you know that say oh he was great. because because if I told you exactly. what I do I could I could never make the. deal all I can tell you is that I would. meet with Putin and I would meet with. him and I know exactly what I'd say to. each one of them and I believe that as.
president-elect I would get that war. stopped and stopped fast you know we. have tremendous power in the United. States if you know how to use the power. I stopped other Wars just by the use of. tariffs I got macron of France good gu. like a friend of mine but a wise guy and. he's a person that likes France and he. was going to tax our companies I say you. and I sent all the smartest guys I sent. manuch and they all failed me and I said. I'll do it myself and I called him I.
said Emanuel you're taxing American. companies we're not going to allow you. to do that oh Donald I cannot do nothing. I could do it's already been passed I. said Emanuel if you do that I'm going to. put a 100% tariff when your wines and. Champagnes are coming to the United. States and you're going to regret that. you ever did it he said Don please. that's not fair anyway within about two. minutes he dropped the whole thing it. was massive amounts of money against. American companies I have to protect. American companies so why doesn't the.
bid Administration do this because. they're incompetent they don't know how. to talk look they met in. Alaska with uh the Chinese and the. Chinese lectured them about how badly we. treat people right okay I mean think of. it. you remember that it was like in they. didn't talk to me that way they never. they respected me they respected our. country they don't respect our country. they don't respect Biden they don't. respect her they're dreaming about her.
because she's incompetent she's not a. smart person look she can't put two. sentences together she talks I watched. her two nights I watched her last night. too was the same thing she's not a smart. person these guys are very smart and. they're very Street wise and they're. very tricky and evil and. dangerous and if she. becomes the president of the United. States which I can't believe can happen. uh I don't think this country is going.
to make it I I don't think we'll ever. be I think I think bad just really bad. things will happen to our country and. you know what I look at the outside. forces and I say they can all be handled. because we have a pot of gold but we're. not going to have that pot of gold to. play with anymore you know it's a great. negotiating thing. I told you I I knocked out this massive. car company going to take all of our car. business from Detroit I knocked it out. just by my rhetoric rhetorically I. said they'll never sell a car in here.
I'll put tariffs I don't care they're. 2,000% they're never going to build that. plant and is it possible to apply that. same thing to the electronics that we. use one of the things that disturbs me. greatly is that all of our phones are. made overseas and then some of our. phones are made in places like yes and. the chips and some of our phones are. made in places like foxcon where they. have Nets around the building to keep. people from jumping off the roof because. they have so many suicides like wouldn't. it be better to have an americanmade. iPhone where you know people are paid. good wages they have health insurance.
they're taken care of they can live a. good life where you're not buying a. piece of electronics that's cheaper. because someone has to suffer a horrible. in a horrible way that's not even legal. in the United States it's not even legal. to have them work that way in the United. States so they get these people to build. them overseas you do it but but let me. just say. that chip deal is so bad we put up. billions of dollars for Rich companies. to come in and borrow the money and. build chip companies here and they're. not going to give us the good companies. anyway all you had to do is charge them.
tariffs if you were to put a tariff on. the chips coming in you would have been. able to just like the auto companies no. different more sophisticated but no. different you know Taiwan they stole our. chip. business okay they want us to protect. and want protection they don't pay us. money for the protection you know the. mob makes you pay money right but with. these countries that we protect I got. hundreds of billions of dollars from. NATO countries that were never paying us.
and my biggest fan is stoltenberg who. just left as the you know director. General as the Secretary General good. guy he said Bush came he made a speech. Obama came he made a speech Trump came. he said you guys aren't paying you got. to pay and they said will you protect us. from Russia if we don't I said no you. got to pay if you don't pay billions of. dollars came in to. Nato when I see us paying a lot of money. to have people build chip that's not the.
way you didn't have to put up 10 cents. you could have done it with a series of. tariffs in other words you tariff it's. so high that they will come and build. their chip companies for nothing in. other words Joe you put a big tariff on. the chips coming in I say you don't have. to pay the Tariff all you have to do was. build your plant in the United States we. didn't have to give them the money to. build the plant besides that they're. very rich companies these chip companies. they stole they stole. 95% of our business it's in Taiwan right.
now they do a great job but that's only. because we have stupid politicians we. lost the chip business and now we think. we're going to pay you can't build it. that way you have to make them spend. their money in the United States and. those plants would open up all over and. they'll fund them we don't have to put. up 10 cents. and I am in the process of making a huge. speech in about a little while and you. and I how long have we been talking a. long time let's go probably like three. hours I got to make a speech I but we'll. do it again I want to do it again with.
you you are something they said I said. how long will this last anywhere from an. hour to three or four hours how long we. do Jamie three hours good well we'll do. it again I thought it was I think it's I. think it was great it was a lot of fun. you are a fascinating guy and you've. done a great job thank you very much F. and thank you very much it's been an. honor it's been an honor to I'm going to. make a great speech and I'm going to say. uh and if I'm a little off tonight I'm. going to blame you I spoke to this guy. for 3 hours anyway it's a great honor to.
be thank you sir with you thank you good. luck to you thank you very much app bye. everybody. [Applause]. [Music]. [Applause]. [Music].
