Truth Details

During your administration, not only that, but also during your campaign, you ushered in
a new Republican Party, a big tent Republican Party, and we saw waves of blacks and Hispanics
move over to the Republican Party.
We are 35 days out from the midterms.
What is your advice to Republicans to seize on that movement? And what do Democrats do wrong to send people running?
Well, you know, it's very interesting when you talk about the tremendous Hispanic population that's come and the African American population.
They want to see
no crime,
because, you know, they're the biggest victims in the truest sense of the word. They want no crime and they want borders.
What people didn't know about the Hispanic, when I talked about the wall, the wall, the wall, and then we built the wall, and then We want to build more wall and all of this that the people that most wanted it were the Hispanics because they knew it was coming over. They knew the problems they were going to have.
So I really think that you have to talk about more than anything else, obviously the economic, the financial, all of the things, inflation.
But you have to talk about crime because they're so badly affected by it.
And the Republicans have a big advantage on crime. I mean, how can you have not a big advantage when you look at defund the police? These people still want, and they still talk about defunding the police.
So I think it really should be very good for Republicans.
Yeah, that it is, sir. You've had 2 big legal actions in the last 2 days. You sued CNN for $475
million, and today you took it to the Supreme Court, challenging the Justice, Biden Justice Department. Tell us about both of those and why they're important to your future.
Well, with CNN, it's just like incredible. They just say anything, you know, probably better than anybody, John. They'll say whatever comes to mind. They talk about the big lie. I said, well, prove the big lie. The big lie is not a big lie at all. It's the opposite. The big lie is the opposite.
All the stats, we have everything.
Unfortunately, we haven't had judges that want to look at it. They don't want to change elections, etc. But you show us it's a big lie. They will never be able to do that.
And so we sued CNN for a lot of money, and we'll see how that goes. I think it should go very well.
And the other is just a continuation of the weaponization
of the Justice Department and the FBI.
You know, if you look, and you covered it brilliantly, You look at the warehouses that the Bushes have,
warehouses that are totally
unsecured.
1 of them is a broken front door. You can walk in if you want. And this is where they have all their records.
You look at
the $33,000.
Think of this, $33,000.
Hillary Clinton deleted emails.
You look at what happened with her husband, where they lost thousands and thousands of papers and documents, and that happened with Bush
too. And you look at all of the complexities and what happened with Obama. And then they talk about us. I think we were
the most secure place. You take a look at this, we were probably the most secure. So it's a weaponization
by the DOJ.
And I think it's just something that has to stop. So we fight that battle. I think we're doing very well in that battle. And I think the public agrees with us because you know better than anybody, my poll numbers are higher now than they ever were. So I think the public understands what's happening.
Mr. President, John and I both remarked how
your demeanor
out at rallies, I mean, you have thousands and thousands of people at these rallies who are so excited to be there and see you. And your demeanor
is very similar to what it was in 2015 and 2016
when you were running for president. Do you have anything to say? Do you have anything to announce? Well, it's a very interesting statement. I appreciate it. I think that's very nice. But if you think about it, I did much better in 2020 than I did in 2016. I got 12 million more votes.
We had
63. And then we ended up with at least 12 million. I say much more than 12 million more votes.
So people will often say, what was the difference between
2016 and 2020? And I'll say, well, actually the difference was we just did better rallies. We were much better. We did a much better job in 2020, but things happened that should never be allowed to happen again, because what you say, and I don't want to have your show canceled, so what you might do is you might just cut this question out. It's just, if you leave this answer, you'll probably be censured and canceled. They already love it. No, what I really want to know is that trend, Is that going to continue in 2024?
I think it will. I think that if I decide to do it, look, the rallies,
you've seen the rallies. I think they're bigger than ever. We were in Alabama. We had 63000.
We were in Texas with 87000
people show up. And the 1 in Ohio, the 1 the other night in Michigan. I mean, these are tremendous rallies that are packed
and it's
they say the greatest show on earth. I don't know why, but they say it's the greatest show on earth. We have a lot of fun at the rallies and the people love it and it's very good. I think it's very good for the country.
Yeah. As you look out, you have done a good job of identifying what it is that Biden did wrong. If you look ahead in 2024,
whoever the president is, what are the first few steps they needed you to reverse what Joe Biden has put into motion?
Well, so many things should have never happened. Ukraine
with Russia should have never happened. It would have never happened if I were president. It would have never. I can say that with 100 percent.
I think he saw probably Putin
looked and he saw the disaster in Afghanistan,
1 of the most embarrassing, probably the most embarrassing period of time in the history of our country.
And he said, wow, this is my chance. But because he always wanted it. I knew that. But and I had a very good relationship with him. He would have never happened. And you may have Taiwan happening there too, we'll see. But there are a lot of things that you wouldn't have done. First of all, the border, we had the border sealed up and beautiful, it's good, I guess probably. Everybody reports it, so I'll say it, but we had the strongest border in the history of the country, southern border.
And now it's the worst border I think ever anywhere. This I say in the rallies, there is no third world country that would allow millions of people to come in totally unchecked from prisons from all over the world. I mean, we have over 129 countries last month where people came in. That would mean you have 129 prison systems, I guess, in some form. And those people are being allowed into our country
and being ushered into our country. And it's just sick. So that's a big thing. And of course, energy, because energy started
this whole disaster. And, you know, again,
without the energy, you wouldn't have had Afghanistan and you wouldn't have had certain things
happening.
But you take a look at energy with Ukraine,
energy with almost everything
involves
energy.
If you make donuts, if you make
anything you make has to do. And when they ended our energy, we were energy independent. Think of this. We're energy independent. We were soon going to be energy dominant. We would have been bigger than Saudi Arabia
and Russia
combined.
And I won't say times 2, but pretty close to times 2, we were going to supply the world and they just ended it. It was shocking, the shock.
And that cause, that started the rise of inflation.
It also gave Putin so much money because remember, we had it down to $40 a barrel.
When it went up to $130 a barrel,
that war is very inexpensive by comparison to the kind of money he was taking in. So that would have and that's another way of stopping it, by the way. If you could get it down to 40, 50 dollars a barrel, he wouldn't be able to have the war. It would stop.
Other than that, you'd have to talk to them and you have to reason with them, but that should have never ever happened. So it's a reverse ed. But
I'd strengthen the border and I'd give us plenty of energy and I'd stop with all the nonsense because it's so sad. I mean, when you look at the stupidity of all electric cars, you have no choice. They don't go very long. You know, I have a friend, he wants to take a drive in the country, but he doesn't have enough and he juices it up. It takes him hours and hours.
And then if he gets stuck, He's in big trouble. He's in big trouble. They don't go long enough. And it's the whole thing is ridiculous. Let the market take care of that.
But you have to bring back
the energy. You have to bring it back. You have to stop with the windmills all over the place that are all made in China, by the way, and Germany, but mostly in China.
And I think very importantly, we have to seal up our border fast and we have to get the bad
cookies.
We have to get them out of our country because we have terrorists here. We have people that came in, not only on the plane from Afghanistan, you know that ride from Afghanistan,
if you take a look at the people on the plane, those were not,
those were the strongest
and the fittest and the people that could rush the plane the best, okay?
You're going to pay a big price for those flights and you're going to pay a bigger price for all of the people that are coming in from all over the world. 129,
133,
100, I guess 2 months ago,
135
different countries. Most people don't even know you have that many countries.
So We have a lot
of work to do.
The biggest problem is
millions and millions of people are here.
Now you say, how do you get them out? How do you get them out? How do you get? Because I believe the number is probably 10 million, not 3 or 4 million. They say 2 million. It's not 2 million. But I believe the real number is 10 million.
So that's like bigger than New York City at 8000000.
Bigger than New York City. And I think the numbers may be much higher than that.
And many of those people are not people that we want in our country.
And the Hispanics know that, by the way, they know it better than we do. They know
they know it so well. And that's why they voted for me in such big numbers. You look at Miami numbers
in Miami.
What I did, Nobody's ever seen numbers like that as a Republican.
And they felt that they were going to be secure,
and that's what they were.
