[laughter] [cheers and applause] she's not working. she's here and she's down by 30t 35at points. and everybody knows her. you are not supposed to lose your home state. it shouldn't happen in a way and she is losing big. i said big lee.e

-no way, but as you know, when we went to iowa we haveof t the biggest margin in history of the caucus in a long time. >> laura: why do you think she is staying in th don se race? >> former president trump: i don't think she knows how to gee out actually. i really don't. she did terribly in new hampshire. >> laura: bu t she has a lot of money behind her.n. >> former president trump: they are trying to hurhet me because of general election and the democrats are giving her money and she's pulling into thr game. she can't get herself toto get d out.wo she is doing poorly -- look, shl was doing well, i would understand it.wa, but she is doing poorly. she lost record numbers in iowa and record numbers in new hampshire, nevada. no name, no name.y >> laura: she and biden almost an away team up together. biden's people tago say look, if you complain about age, trump demeanor, forgets names, e

demeanor, she is trying to equate biden's declined fairly obvious with you for being 77. >> former president trump: ht es has declined and there is no question about it, but he was always semideclined. if you gter]o back 25 years -- [laughter] not one of the smarter people. he's tried to be president at least four times. when most diminished, he hit it. but if you look at me my feel a and it really mean this and i, will tell you and i think you would tell me too because we known each other long time, if i felt diminished, okay, let's us the next term, if i felt diminished or declined in anyth way, i think i would know it. i would say, i'm not running. somebody should talk to him. but if he runs he runs. he doesn'te seem to be -- i hed you say he's very persistent and he probably is.d >> laura: stubborn. >> former president trump: i think most people that pers would run would be stubborn or persistent and not want to give up the ghost. but you know, we have a nation

tosurv run. we have a nation that has to whi survive. we have nuclear weapons and the like of which and you don't wana t to know about it but the powerful weapons of the world, so powerful that you don't want to talk about it. we have him negotiating and in. his best years he couldn't have negotiated. and i know putin well and i know president xi of china,ra kim jong un, i know very well. >> laura: do you think they prefer him to remain as president because they believe that they can dominate the global, you know, the globaly situation much easier with him in office? >> former president trump: they want him very badly to be president. i'm sure aween lot of money is g spent between russia and china, no question with china, russia too. look, ukraine would have never happened. i know putin so well. it was the apple of his eye. it was the apple of his eye. i said don't ever do it. whatever happened, by the way --

>> laura: we will get into that but back to biden and his current state, whatever you want to call it, will you challenge him to regular debatesn ab regardless of the concern of the moderators? i know that is always annoying, but i will be happy to monitor, by the way. [cheers and applause] would you challenge him -- come on, joe, you can do it, would you challenge him to a debateus regularly focusing on specific topics? not wide-ranging but one debate on foreign policy? h >> former president trump: i will do itow right now on your show come i would challenge him right now. you can do anybody you want.n i will take anybody from cnn, which is doing poorly in the ratings as you probably know. i will take anybody because i think you have an obligation in this case. you have an obligation to debate. when it came t po republicans, i was at 40, 50, 60 points and like a poll came up and she's at

97. you want to be smart and don't b waste your time. >> laura: that would be instructive to see you versusol biden on any given topic. >> former president trump: in the polls i'm way up in the polls. frankly, i think we have anyo obligation.ve when you have the final republican, final democrat ands give the two people -- >> laura: how many debatest st would you commit to?now. question marks me to as many as necessary. i would like to start now. i don't think he will debate though i really don't think so. we have a debate at the end of the debate, he admitted i wasi right about almost everything. and i said i think i feel like. mason the wayoy you collapsed al he admitted everything about energy and that's actually what happen and why your energy costo went up three and four times. we had $1.87 and he was up toon .five, $6, $7. that will happen immediately after the election. let's nowe at talk about if he h we will not have a country lefte but you will have energy cost

and this whole concept of all electric, everybody having an electric vehicle and they don't go far. people don't want that.an they may want electric but they> lalso want to other choices. >> laura: do you believe thega put to control gas stoves, how far you can drive by forcingts people into electric vehicles and alt tol the new edicts theyt to push out?er what is really behind that? do you believe there is a bigger to kind of control movement, control people's freedom of movement question marks me to a lot of people said that -- i'm not sure i think they are mixed up or confused. they come out with a faucetd where water comes out. if you go buy a home and they know what i mean, the shower, you stand under the shower nay o water is coming and you end up standing there five times longer. >> laura t: but they want that appear they want the dishwasher to be changed and all of that is part of the agenda. >> former president trump: in ohio, you have a great company that came to me a great dishwashing company one of the

finest companies but they were going out of business. we are not allowed to use waterg they also had a problem south korea making washing machines, dishwashers and temping them into ourff country. i put tariffs on them, 50% terrorists and i saved that company and it is a thriving company. what is happening between othero companies comingu in free, youu can't go into those countries but they can come into us. we can go into china and pay her $100 tariff on a car. they used to come in here. o i put 27.5% tariff on cars. >> laura: that his only reason why evs not swamping swamping the united states. beith it is being cornered by china around the globe. >> former president trump: we would be dead if i didn't put that tariff on and i was going to raise 227%. everybody would be dealing with not even the car they liked. but they would be dumping them c into our country. what is happening now is chinese going to mexico and building

massive automobile plans. they think they will come in and sell those cars for mexico without a tear up into ourra: country. the app andth under biden if he actually won a second term, do you think your tariffs would be pulled off? >> former president trump: we can't do it now because there's so much money. we took and 450 and not one other took in.t if i didn't do what i did with china come i don't think we>> l would be sitting here right now. >> laura: he left a lot in place and he has not remove those. >> former president trump: economically -- i think he would remove them.u h >> laura: what do you think hunter bidenomis did or promiser winked about to get the money. he's obviously not financially -- >> former president trump: many locations, ukraine was crazy because he was on the00 a board and paid $183,000 a month and i got $3 million up front. according to what i read. >> laura: they say joe biden, there is no evidence joe biden

received any financial benefit personally and to that you say? >> former president trump: he has a lot of houses all over the place and never paid more than about $179,000, i guess is the top.of he's gotten a lot of money. hunter has gotten a lot of money. hunter gets millions of dollars fo thar sitting on an energy bod and he admits he knows nothing about energy. >> laura: why do you think joe biden was able to raise $42 million in january and headed out to california will be at the home of the big pro israel benefactor multimillionaire? why are the billionaires rallying to joe biden? >> former president trump: they like me also so pure they made more money. >> laura: but why are they rallying? >> former president trump: i tell you the ones i love are the ones that pay me on average $61 and i'm raising millions and millions of dollars. $61. some of them -- [cheers and applause] -- [cheers and applause] -- they wer wantoe globalist ay

in between. they have to start paying up and you know what they haven't paidb no one asked them. because biden, does he lie awaka sleeping and turns for anothersw reason but not the reason we are talking about. sweating, we got to get more. we have got to get them to pay up because there is $150 billion difference. i feel really bad. remember this you are up against a war machine in russia, russia what they do defeated hitler, they are a war machine and a much bigger country. a fantastic guy and a lot of people don't like him because he's on the tough side thengly prime minister of hungary. he said and he camkee out veryai strongly, what is going on? the whole world is collapsing. he said, if the united states o elects donald trump, it will all in the back. everybody is afraid of donald trump you're at it will all end and i believe that is trueplau.od >> laura: nancy, you're veryc ea

i am in politics. they indicted the on things that are so ridiculous, maga and atlanta. >> laura: we will get into boos] that in a moment. we will get into my favorite d.a. in a moment but do you see yourself as a potential political prisoner in the united states because that is their goal is to put you in jail behind bars right for the rest of your life? do you see that? >> former president trump: if i were losing in the polls, they would not be talking about me and i wouldn't have any legal fees. t i think althoughhe they hate meo much if i got out where they would pursue this guy, we can't stanthisd this guy. look, i won a election that wasb not supposed to be winnable. i did much better the second time and we will get into it. but i did a much better job the second time. we have millions and millions of more votes the second time.ec noonw we are doing much better than the second time and the

first time almost put together. >> laura: are you a potential political prisoner, sir? speak to the fact that i'm doine so well that i'm beating biden at a they've never seen before. this is not supposed to happen. it is much easier for a democrat toa run from a much easier.is >> laura: we will take a quick break and we have a lot more on this topic come a lot moreh us fani willis and legal challenges the president faces. stay with us.

e judge is sick. he got overturned on this case so far on this case the appellate division fou r times on this case. >> laura: doing you expect the fesupreme court will overturn this? you will have to preserve your federal claim here below. you will have to say, we have a constitutional claim here against t excessive fine. there are hurdles to cross but would you expect the supreme court will interfere in a state court's decision? >> former president trump: i've never seey, tn this, truck, they will not deal in new york. people are leaving new york.this i've never seen support like thiss . i think there is a lot of pressure on the court system for o do what is right. you borrow a small amount of money by comparison. you pay it back.ou a the bank is in love with you. by the way, this is a time,ng banks are doing badly with commercial loans. they were not getting theianr money back and into fold.ba nkthis was a perfect loan.ey i did a favor to this bank. i paid it back and it was

especially that last part, we o did a great job there and great marks on the economy, the military, foreign affairs, butwd never got the credit we shouldng have gotten. did something amazing the stock market was higher in the end. but just before the china virusa because i like to be accurate w came ontoro our shores, we have the greatest economy in the history of new york even going up to the end.sing this period of time, it was success, success was the word i'm using to answer your question. we had such success in the history -- some of you are favorite posters maclachlan,th fabrizio, i met them the day before ipa heard covid orth pandemic.xt e the day before and we are talking about the next election coming up here they said, "sir, if abraham lincoln and george washingto gn came back fm the dead, they couldn't beat you." we have the greatest economy

but you can only use it or beic there if you are president. biden wasn't president. >> laura: they requested and could have handed them over andf save yourself a lot of trouble. >> former president trump: first to pokble.e my didn't havt hehand them over but second of t all, whee were talking and all f a suddenhe they rated mar-a-lag. could you put an extra law? we showed them where they were and in and like in a corvette with the dooedr locked. a wege were surrounded byma secret service agents all over mar-a-lago.ak buet what happen when you take a look, biden didn'tct have they, presidential records act. he is in great jeopardy really. but look he's incompetent to go to court, but he can bet president. figurert that out.s in he can't represent himself at court because he's incompetent. >> laura: what should he be? asked? >> former president trump: i think you have to ask why dide i you do it? you didn't have the presidential

records act. dick durbin, the senator's head there's non he way he did that a senator. then we found out it is pretty serious. >> laura: we need to take a quick break and whenom we come back from asking the questionanw back from asking the questionanw everyone wants to know the answer to and more from donald trump from greenville, south carolina.

♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> laura: all right, we are back in greenville, south carolina, justp four days ahea d of the g.o.p. primary where president trump is trouncing nikki haley in the polls. si have seen them. mr. president i have long said republicans should have a no state or city left behind strategy. bronald reagan had that stratey in 1980-1984, and you told maria bartiromo that you may e bronx orn th

madison square garden. when will that be happening? >> former president trump: very soon.. we have nine months yet. squ i will see about madison square garden and we will go to the south bronx and we will go to queens and other areas because if you look at what has happened in new york. i'm not even blaming the mayor. the mayor has been told to takhe the backseat for a while because they came after him violently. they came after him indictingw him and now he is quiet.ar these are terrible people. so i'm not blaming him. i'm just saying 400, 500,000madi migrants, illegal migrants in new york. on madison avenue, they were sleeping on madison avenue, fifth avenue and it is horrible what is going on. i think it is a chance for new york to win because people are very, very unhappy. >> laura: a poll came out and in 2028 biden beat you by 23 points in new york but the latency and up poll biden is only had a few by 12 points and that is a rogue republicants

presence. no ads, no nothing. you are winning men 47/40 but upside down women 54/29. how can you turn that around in new york with women voters quite mark again, many love your policies but maybe some of the other stuff they don't. >> former president trump: we are actually doing well withby women, we are leading by biden -- >> laura: we are talking about the 50 state strategy. >> former president trump: i 0 state'de to do the 5 strategy. i wish i had more confidence in the election and the way theys, accumulate ballots to be honest with you because i think we are doing well in california.nd but not 36 or 38 million. >> laura: this is a realw progress in new york,h significant poll with nosing republican advertising and latinos 41% in new york, african americans 26%. those are 40% increases from 2020. so with a little work and a lot of the states, knowing 12 senate

seats. i'm from connecticut and why is connecticut down the tubes and why is illinois down the tubes? >> former president trump: new york, new jersey, very strong trump state. i if you win any of them you win the election. virginia is another one. new mexico we did great in new mexico. we have a good shot there. colorado is very interesting because of all o whef this messe had this group of people trying to take somebody out of the ballot. they say we are doing well inwe colorado. di think weoi are doing well everywhere but beating him nationally by a lot. in fact, wlot,e are winning thed popular vote by a lot. >> laura: when biden ran he placed he would pick a female vice president in 2020. what qualities are you looking for and your vice presidential pick? >> former president trump: always the first question to myp quality is somebody thatomeb hao be a good president because ifo something should happen, you ppenhave to have somebody who ia great president. everybody is talking about that.

gentleman right over there. [cheers and applause] he's been so great. he's been a great advocate. i have to say and in a positive way, tim scott has been much better for me than himself. i watched his campaign. [laughter] he doesn't like talking aboutut himself but boy does he talk about trump. i called him, tim, you are better for me than yourself.n he is fantastic and a fantastic person. >> laurape: someone who can step into the role. the audience has been asked toth they think would be a good choice in various names came up. one of them was of coursene vivek ramaswamy who's made a big splash.ea ron desantis making an appearance in south carolina which is found out. obviously, tim scott, byron donald's and a big presence here for tulsi gabbard. very interesting. [applause]s and christine gnome christie

noam as well. when can we expect that you will make your choice? >> former president trump: the one thing is the vp choice at no impact on whoever the president is it seems. , i remember when sarah palin ws picked and she had a big up and they went after her at a level nobody seen the pier the republicans themselves. >> laura: yo u will be a one-term president and you canps only serve for one term although they say you will neve hr leave office. yo su will never leave. there will never be another election again. .>> former president trump: he will never. leave, oh, these people. >> laura: for that reaso in it is important who you pick. >> former president trump: it is important, but look, as we said, it has to do with whoever -- it is an important position for that reason. you would like to get somebody who could help you from the voter standpoint and obviouslyeo come all of those people are good, solie d appeared and i wat people with common sense. they were so many things

happening in the country that don't make sense't m. who wants an open border? who wants high interest rates? who wants all electric vehiclese you want to have choice ten you want to go to combustion, any hybrid. i think the hybrid are much better from that standpoint. but we were talking about -- we are talking about so much. it is all based on common sense. we want a strong military. we want strong choice in education. we want to have thingsucat i can make our country great again. what we are told with a open border is a disaster. we are destroying our country. we will change that fast and geo your energy prices down. >> laura: mr. president,ll thank you so much for this.im e,we appreciate all your time. see you on the campaign trail t pier that is it for us >> todd: a fox news alert, president biden's youngest brother james, will face
