Speaker 1: This is the seventy seven w ABC Mini cast. Mister President,
Speaker 1: Hello Michael, Michael.
Speaker 2: How you doing, sir?
Speaker 1: Welcome? Welcome, country is doing good?
Speaker 2: Well, thanks thanks to you, sir. So I want to
Speaker 2: go back to twenty sixteen if we can, because you
Speaker 2: and I have obviously traveled the pretty rocky road together.
Speaker 2: You remember, do you remember, sir, when I went on
Speaker 2: CNN with Brianna Keeler and she told me that you
Speaker 2: were underwater in the polls and I responded with those
Speaker 2: famous two words, says who, which became some worldwide meme
Speaker 2: and advocate.
Speaker 1: And then they weaponized you like nobody's ever been weaponized,
Speaker 1: like few have been.
Speaker 2: Well maybe just you and I, sir.
Speaker 1: You yeah, me too, but I don't consider mine, you know,
Speaker 1: mine was. Mine was at the level that nobody's ever
Speaker 1: seen before. But they weaponized you. They weaponized a lot
Speaker 1: of people. And I respect the fact that you recanted
Speaker 1: everything you said, and that's a big that's a big
Speaker 1: thing that you did. That's a very big thing.
Speaker 2: So you may remember, you may remember that following morning
Speaker 2: you called me into the office after and then you
Speaker 2: gave me one of those traditional Trump slaps on the shoulder.
Speaker 2: And he said to me, f them, You're stronger than them.
Speaker 2: We've got this now. The funny thing is that CNN
Speaker 2: never apologized, they never retracted anything. And now years later, CNN,
Speaker 2: MS Now and the other left leaning outlets they're doing
Speaker 2: the exact same thing, constantly talking about you being underwater
Speaker 2: with favorability numbers. Mister President, what do you say to
Speaker 2: these people who keep bringing up polls when you're not
Speaker 2: even running for office? Again, what's the point?
Speaker 1: And I think that we're doing really well in the polls,
Speaker 1: the real polls. If I were running today, I think
Speaker 1: I'd win by twenty five points. I think we'd win
Speaker 1: by a lot. The economy has never been stronger. We're
Speaker 1: doing numbers that nobody's ever seen before. You take a
Speaker 1: look at what's going on with Venezuela. It was a
Speaker 1: one day deal. It was actually a forty eight minute deal.
Speaker 1: It was an attack where we took a truly bad
Speaker 1: person out of the country, including the wife, out of
Speaker 1: the country and now standing trial. This was a very
Speaker 1: evil man and the country. We are involved very much
Speaker 1: with the country, taking out millions and millions of barrels
Speaker 1: of oil, and that goes right into our Treasury. We've done.
Speaker 1: The Venezuela was amazing, and now with Iran, they will
Speaker 1: never have a nuclear weapon. We were controlling, essentially controlling
Speaker 1: and soon controlling the Straits. We're doing very well with
Speaker 1: the RAND. The press doesn't like to say that, although
Speaker 1: a lot of the press does say it. You know,
Speaker 1: because the Navy's gone, the Air force is gone, the
Speaker 1: leadership is gone. Part of the problem is so many
Speaker 1: of the leaders are gone, it's not easy to make
Speaker 1: a deal. Nobody knows who's leading. But I think the
Speaker 1: public sees what we're doing because Iran can never have
Speaker 1: a new clear weapon, very simple, and I think the
Speaker 1: public sees it, and I think they appreciate it and
Speaker 1: they respect it. And I tell them they'll be a
Speaker 1: little higher for your energy costs, but they'll be a
Speaker 1: little bit higher for gasoline. You know. I had it
Speaker 1: down to a dollar eighty five cents a barrel, and
Speaker 1: then I said, but we have to make a journey
Speaker 1: to the Middle East because we can't let a rent
Speaker 1: have a nuclear weapon. And that's what happened. And we've
Speaker 1: been very effective. We've wiped them out, militarily wiped out.
Speaker 1: Now they have some missiles they have some drones. Their
Speaker 1: capacity to build them is very low right now compared
Speaker 1: to what it was five months ago. It was five
Speaker 1: months ago they were knocking them out. Now it's very
Speaker 1: hard for them to knock out anything. They're in bad shape.
Speaker 1: They have inflation that's three hundred percent. Their currency is valueless,
Speaker 1: you know, it's virtually valuables. The military is not being paid,
Speaker 1: so they're in bad shape. But the key that the
Speaker 1: reason I did it, and we had no choice, and
Speaker 1: I would have done it again one hundred times. They
Speaker 1: cannot have a nuclear weapon and they won't be having
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon, And why.
Speaker 2: Not just then turn around and tell the American people,
Speaker 2: you know, the one thing that you may feel some
Speaker 2: frustration going on right now economically the price of gas
Speaker 2: and so on, But why not just turn around and
Speaker 2: say to the American people, you know what you get
Speaker 2: to do. You get to go to sleep at night
Speaker 2: with knowledge that there will be no intercontinental ballistic nuclear
Speaker 2: missile being fired towards the United States, because if they
Speaker 2: had it with their theocracy, sir, you know exactly what
Speaker 2: they would be doing right now.
Speaker 1: So I do tell that the press doesn't get it out,
Speaker 1: and I say it often. I said it the other
Speaker 1: day at a big rally I had with the police
Speaker 1: out on I saw it Long Island. And we have
Speaker 1: these unbelievable rallies or rallies are potentially bigger than ever.
Speaker 1: I mean, if we did rallies as an example, if
Speaker 1: we did rallies now, nobody ever had rallies like this,
Speaker 1: their potential, I think they're bigger than ever. There's a
Speaker 1: great spirit for what's going on, especially at of what's
Speaker 1: happening with all these crazy theories and policies and lunatics
Speaker 1: that are running. They have lunatics. They would destroy the country,
Speaker 1: and they're being put in the Democrat Party. I think
Speaker 1: they'll be wiped out in the election because the people
Speaker 1: are too smart to allow that to happen. It's never
Speaker 1: worked in a thousand years. That stuff has never worked
Speaker 1: and it's not going to work now. But they're not
Speaker 1: even smart people, you know, you watch some of them.
Speaker 1: Half of them can't even speak properly. So I think
Speaker 1: we're doing very well. We are letting people know about that.
Speaker 1: We'll letting people know that. You know, it's wonderful to
Speaker 1: say everything's good, but you can't if you had a
Speaker 1: country like that, and they're crazy. If you had a
Speaker 1: country like that, they would absolutely use the nuclear weapon
Speaker 1: without question. And so I stopped that, and I stopped
Speaker 1: at cod with a B two bombers. I also stopped
Speaker 1: at the JCPOA that was the Obama deal. There was
Speaker 1: such a disaster that he made years ago. Had that deal,
Speaker 1: had I not terminated that deal, a rand would have
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon and they would have used it very quickly.
Speaker 1: They would have wiped out Israel. They would have wiped
Speaker 1: out the Middle East. And you saw that because when
Speaker 1: this thing started, surprisingly to everybody, they started shooting missiles
Speaker 1: at sort of semi neutral country. They were going after
Speaker 1: the Saudi Arabia guitar, they were going after UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain,
Speaker 1: and nobody really knew they were so involved, and they
Speaker 1: started hitting everybody. If they had a nuclear weapon, they
Speaker 1: would have used it on everybody. And look, there would
Speaker 1: be no Israel if there was not a Donald Trump president.
Speaker 2: I think there'd be no Saudi Arabia either.
Speaker 1: Right now, I believe the Middle East would have been
Speaker 1: entirely wiped out. But Israel definitely would have been wiped out.
Speaker 1: There's no question there would be They tell me that
Speaker 1: there would be no Israel if there was no Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: You know what surprised me was, how did they end
Speaker 2: up with a thousand pounds of sixty percent enriched uranium
Speaker 2: when allegedly, whether it was under Biden, whether it's under Obama,
Speaker 2: whether it was on every president by how did they
Speaker 2: end up with literally one thousand pounds of nuclear grade,
Speaker 2: well as soon to be made nuclear grade enriched uranium.
Speaker 1: So when we hit them with the B two bombers,
Speaker 1: which was an amazing attack, amazing deep into the night
Speaker 1: with no moon, with no light, no nothing, and every
Speaker 1: bomb hit its mark and wiped their whole nuclear thing
Speaker 1: out and it was in fact obliterated. But when we
Speaker 1: did that, people had no idea what to expect, no idea.
Speaker 1: You know, you're going in there, You're going into a
Speaker 1: very very dangerous place where these incredible machines and the
Speaker 1: job they did, the job those machines and those pilots
Speaker 1: did was really amazing. But Obama allowed that to happen.
Speaker 1: Biden allowed that to happen. Other presidents allowed that to happen.
Speaker 1: This should have been done. This has been going on
Speaker 1: for fifty years, and this should have been you know,
Speaker 1: it's been forty seven, but we talk about it for
Speaker 1: three or four years. It's actually the number is fifty
Speaker 1: one years, but we say forty seven because that seems
Speaker 1: to be the standard number that everyone uses. But this
Speaker 1: was going on for fifty actually fifty one years now,
Speaker 1: and it should have been taken care of by other
Speaker 1: presidents or other countries, and it wasn't. And Iran became
Speaker 1: the bully of the Middle East. They were bullying everybody around.
Speaker 1: They were the boss, and bad things were happening, and
Speaker 1: they would have absolutely taken out Israel and they would
Speaker 1: have absolutely taken out the Middle East. I guess they
Speaker 1: would have shot at us too. But had they had
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, if they had that capacity, it would have
Speaker 1: been different. Now, when we hit them with the B
Speaker 1: two bombers, they were exactly two weeks away from having
Speaker 1: a new nuclear weapon. And that's why I had to
Speaker 1: do it, because you cannot let them have that kind
Speaker 1: of a weapon.
Speaker 2: But you know, mister President, that's that's a time period
Speaker 2: that most people are completely unaware of that it was
Speaker 2: the imminence was there.
Speaker 1: Well, they knew it, but they forget it. You know.
Speaker 1: The one thing in politics, like the border. When I
Speaker 1: came in the border, they were allowed twenty five million people,
Speaker 1: many of them criminals, many of them murderers, many of
Speaker 1: them people from mental institutions, drug dealers. They were pouring
Speaker 1: into our country totally unchecked and unvetted. I solved the
Speaker 1: problem in thirty days, and solved it beautifully in sixty
Speaker 1: and at the end of ninety days, nobody comes in.
Speaker 1: In fact, we have now as you know, because they
Speaker 1: issue reports and they're not issued by me. In the
Speaker 1: last sixteen months, zero people came in through our are horrible.
Speaker 1: What was horrible southern border where it was just an
Speaker 1: open sieve, It was an open wound, and zero people
Speaker 1: came in. So what happens, though, is people forgot about that.
Speaker 1: They forgot we had a border problem we had. I
Speaker 1: got elected partially on the border. Yeah, by the way,
Speaker 1: that happened two times. When I ran in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: I got elected on the border. Was bad, but it
Speaker 1: was never bad like this. This was crazy where Kamala
Speaker 1: was the border's are and she never spoke to the
Speaker 1: border pat well, she never went there. She was the border.
Speaker 1: She knew less about the border than a child would know.
Speaker 1: So I solved the border problem and nobody even talks
Speaker 1: about it. I did things that, you know, because in politics,
Speaker 1: I've found it's got a two week week life. A
Speaker 1: victory has a two week life. You solve a problem
Speaker 1: that was, according to most insolvable, and I did it
Speaker 1: literally in thirty days. But I solved the problem early on,
Speaker 1: and beautifully we have a great border right now. I
Speaker 1: mean people come into a country, but they have to
Speaker 1: come in legally, and they do come in legally.
