i was on a work trip when the pulmonary embolism happened. but because i have 23andme, i was aware of that gene. that saved my life. ♪

>> good morning, welcome to fox and friends on this sunday morning, a beautiful day in the northeast as it was yesterday. got out, walked. walked into the building yesterday. >> nice. >> it was a nice day yesterday. what about you? just got warm. it gets warm way too late here. it's june. >> it is. rachel: it's beautiful right now. >> it was cold two weeks ago. >> in this part of the country. >> in other parts of the country it's been beautiful for months. rachel: it's nice, will. be on the happy side. >> okay. come on, get happy. consider this context. we spent 90 minutes with a man who a sham trial over here convicted of 34 stacked counts. if he could be in a good mood. >> said he loved life. >> saying i love life yesterday, then you, will cain, can be in a good mood all the rachel: he got 34 counts by a crooked judge and he said i love life. that's how i do it. he's like i don't know how i do it but i get up and feel this

way. >> he did say that he did. >> . we asked how he feels, how -- we asked about his family, how is this for melania, how is this for baron, what he plans to do if he's elected, how would he approach the department of justice. here's 10 minutes of our conversation with donald trump. rachel: in your president sigh what they've done to you, you've got the verdict that just came through a lot of democrats have expressed concern that if you're elected you're going to want revenge and some of your supporters have said, well, you know, we were talking about the weaponization of the justice system against political opponents, some of your supporters said the only way to stop this is mutually assured disruption, if you do it to us, we'll do it to you. you said my revenge will be success for america. you've just had this verdict. do you still feel the same? what's your thoughts on that? >> it's a really tough question

in one way. because these are bad people. these people are sick. and they do things that are so destructive. i mean, look what they did from the day i got there and i don't know, you know, a lot of people said we have no choice but to elect trump, republicans, because he's the only one that can withstand this. don't forget, if it weren't me they would go after somebody else and i know a lot of the competition. they wouldn't do so well. they wouldn't be doing so well right now. they'd be saying mommy, take me home, i want to go home. this is brutal. but these are sick people. frircforinstance, the 51 intelle agents, think about it, like they say i'm gil i at this of ---gil youguilty of -- this m before the election. rachel: you're talking about intel agencies, remember what chuck schumer said, he said if you tick off intel agent you ags

they'll find a way to get you. what can you do to make sure they don't target americans like this. >> we had a guy named comey. i didn't put him there. i thought he was terrible. he tried to get me. i reversed it on him. some people said he lost hillary the election when he didn't want to. he was a bad guy, not a capable guy, an evil guy and they were doing things -- i won't mention it. i don't want to be conspiratorial. he was a bad guy. i fired him. i fired fired stro strok and pa. my revenge will be success. i mean that. but it's awfully hard when you see what they've done, these people are so evil. and at the same time the country can come together. i'm saying this, but the country can come together. you know, during my term, prior

to covid, we had the most successful country we've ever had. >i want to follow up on whatrac. you said it's a tough question, a bit unsure. you famously said regarding hillary clinton, lock her up. you declined to do that as president. >> i beat her. it's easier when you win. they all said lock her up. i could have done it but i felt it would have been a terrible thing and then this happened to me and so i may feel differently about it. i can't tell you. i'm not sure i can answer the question. hillary clinton -- i didn't say lock her up but the people said lock her up, lock her up. okay. then we won. and i said pretty openly, i said let's relax, let's go, we've got to make our country great and it would have been -- think of it, you lock up the wife of a president of the united states. rachel: they want to lock up over $130,000 of an accounting thing and she -- >> and a perfectly stated accounting thing but people also

say can you bring the country together and the answer is yes. success will bring the country together because i had it together. before the china virus came in i had it together. we really had it together. and it would have stayed -- i think it would have stayed. everybody was doing better. the country was doing better than it had ever done. we're going back to the same policies and then some. rachel: americans lost a lot of trust in institutions. there's been a lost discussion online and with young people, how do we rebuild the trust in institutions, the cia, fbi, all those institutions. >> you're right. rachel: some people think that one way to build trust is to declassify things that everyone's talking about. you talked earlier about i don't want to be conspiracy theorist. if you were president be, would you declassify -- you can answer a yes or no. would you declassify the 9/11 files? >> yes. rachel: would you declassify jfk files. >> yes. i did a lot of it would you declassify the epstein files.

>> i would. >> attorney general, what -- we talked about how you fix the dodoj, bring justice back to the country. people's faith in the system the is shattered. >> it should be. >> who do you choose who is top on your list? >> i have a couple, one in particular. but i made a lot of good choices, got that one wrong. i was very loyal to one because he was the first senator to endorse me. as soon as conflict came up, he ran for the hills. and actually the second one, he ran for the hills. when he heard he was going to be impeached, they were going to impeach him, he was like a different person, i had to get rid of i'm. thats was the one thing -- one of the truly important positions was attorney general. i was very disappointed at both of those attorney generals. jeff session was -- you know, i don't blame myself too much.

he was in some position in alabama and he wanted to be so bad and he was the first senator to endorse me. again, i ways sort of a civilian. i didn't have a lot of people. i didn't know that many senators. and he went to a rally in mobile. we had 72,000 people. it wasn't that big but he came to me and he said i would love to be attorney general. i didn't see it. and then he came three, four times and i said you know, just out of loyalty, i did it and he ran for the hills. because it's nasty. this is a nasty business. it's a nasty world. >> how do you find -- >> barr was threatened for -- in all fairness to him, he didn't want -- you know, he was attorney general. he was a respected guy. and they said they were going to impeach him. i understand that. i said i got impeached twice and my numbers went up which is unusual. i said it's not so bad to be impeached. he was going to be

impeached. they didn't know why. it's like they took me to trial. there's no crime. they were trying to i de vies a crime during the trial. he endorsed me the other day as you saw. but he let down our country. it takes a brave person to do it. people don't want to be impeached. they don't want to be indicted by these scoundrels who are moreyville than -- more evil than -- china and russia are not the problem. we have a problem from within that's really bad so let us down. the key to really good government where we had like lightheisser and some of the people who are really good, it's the person at the top. if you get the right person be, it's like magic. in real estate you put a good super in the building, the building runs well. you put a bad one in, it

doesn't. it's the same thing, slightly larger scale. i rebuilt the military. we did things that were amazing. one of the things that the people that watch your show should know, we defeated isis quickly. i was told it would take five years. i did it in a matter of weeks, right? fast. and they did it fantastically and i got to know the real fighting generals. there's woke at the top. they want there to be woke. rachel: are you going to fire the generals, the woke generals at the top. >> i would get rid of then, yeah. now i know them. i didn't know them before. what did i know? i was a new york real estate person. yeah, i would fire them. i would fire them. you can't have woke military. you said it so great. you need people that want to win. they want to win wars. that's what their purpose is, to win wars, not to be woke. and but we do have great military. you look at what we did. look at the -- i was the only one in 78 years or something, i didn't start any wars. i finished wars. i got out of syria. i took our soldiers home.

i would have moved a lot of them out of germany. not all of them. we have 45,000 so that's like -- you know what we do, by doing that, we're giving germany this massive shot in the arm and they don't treat us well on trade. but we have a great military. and there's nothing woke about it. other than those top guys. i used to watch milley sit there in congress, talk about he's trying to understand this and that mind. i won't get into it. but certain minds. i said is this guy crazy in but it's one of those things. i've gotten to know a lot of the generals because of the things we did. and we had some unbelievable win as you know. we had some wins with terrorists, the two biggest terrorists in the world, every, i took them out. so we had some -- we have some great things planned. it's very important that the people that run the agencies, if you get the good ones and i think i have great ones, slay

it. but if you get the good ones it's like magic. we had mostly good ones. you think more about the bad ones. we had bad ones too. >> the full 90 minutes will air tomorrow on the will cain show, beginning at noon. i would encourage you to check out the first 90 minutes. my biggest take aways, number one, when asked do you think the prosecutions are coordinated from the white house his answer was 100%. second, doj, he said i don't know. we all asked in vairs just fashion, -- various fashions, will you deweaponize the doj, or will you use the doj against joe biden. his answer was i don't know. i don't know. third, pointed out by government huckabee, a contrast in policy, the stark policy between him and joe biden. >> you mentioned a such he'll times also, i don't know, i get indicted, i get impeached and my

numbers go up and i think the contrast is why that happens. i was thinking about it during the clip. he is called the dictator, there will be no election, they they will be canceled in the future, that's what robert deniro said, democracy is over and you contrast with what he says publicly, his demeanor, the sense you get of his heart, how he loves the country. he doesn't have to do this, he understands the effect it has on his family. we wanted the specific answers on doj. he said, i'll figure that out but i want to secure the border and we have to unleash the energy and get the woke out of our military and we've got to fix ukraine. we've got to bring our economy back. he kept going back to things that will make america great again. and you get the sense at his core that's what he wants to do and yet they characterize him at something different. people see through the characterization and i think interviews like this are part of that. rachel: i think people look at it and if they were in his shoes, i look at myself, i would be a lot more angry than i ever

have seen donald trump in this interview and others. i would be raging mad if what happened to him happened to me so i look at that. i also look at his stamina. before he met with us, he had a fundraiser, did a 90 minute interview with us, had another fundraiser after that and went at 9:30 p.m. at night to the ufc games or what do you call them, fights. thank you. the ufc fights. and got this aamazing reaction out of the crowd. they said it was a staggering owe of vaovation for him. this guy's energy is incredible. this is on the emotional psychological heels of just getting 34 felonies against him and so it's like i look at this and i'm you y amazed at his sta and willingness to fight for america and i loved when you talked about the ufc and he

compared his -- these fighters, he likes being with those fighters, he sees himself as a fighter. >> that's in response to whether or not he would of use the doj against joe biden. he said even though i said lock her up, a reference to hillary clinton, we didn't do that because even though there was anger and hatred, he referenced the ufc fighters, he said they go in with anger and hatred and when it's over the fight is over and there's mutual respect so i juaned to move forward in that manner when i became president but that's not how it was done with me. he says i don't know, are these the new rules. i said it earlier in the show. i wanted to ask and i didn't because this is kind of how my mind works and i want to understand someone as a person i wanted to ask you angry, are you hopeful, do you feel veiningful, how do you feel 48 hours after this conviction and even though i didn't ask, i didn't get that answerer, i think you actually get the answer by listening to him and you're right, rachel.

pete, you asked him what do you feel about the potential for campaigning from jail or house arrest and he said -- >> he said i'm good with it. >> i'm good with it. >> if that's what happens, that's what happens. he said i don't think people will put up with that, the country won't tolerate that. in your question about your demeanor seemed to change over the course of the trial, even mother theresa count overcome these charges, i do think there was a moment in time in the trial where it et set in, this is not -- this is clearly a banana republic trial, the fix is totally in, okay, we're going to win the election and we're -- looking angry, looking spiteful, he doesn't need to have that look. his supporters feel that way for him. you saw the response amongst his supporters, $150 million announced in fund raising, people feel that. he said i'll be that steady eddie in the middle, i'll stay focused on why we're doing this to save the country. statements like for the military, that's what their

purpose is, to win wars, not to go woke. that's common sense. another thing he used in our interview, common sense. i keep going back to common sense and that's what people are looking for in a world gone yeah you. >> i. rachel: from trans to the border to crime to the military, he seeped to be striking very common sense notes that whether you're an independent or conservative or if there are any democrats who are common sense, they're going to like the answer to that and by the way, when i was in the bronx, that's a deep blue area that said we need help with the border because those problems from the open border in the form of crime and the gob bling up of our resources in our community, it's affecting us. that's a deep blue area that came out for donald trump so it's a very fascinating interview. i'm glad you're t putting the whole thing on the will cain show, will. >> thank you for that. i will i say, we referenced numerous times here in our casual conversation things that were that perhaps you didn't see in the clip but we'll be playing more clips throughout the hour, we'll play more including some

of your questions from donald trump but we, because we were present for 90 minutes, may reference things that you don't see -- >> you haven't seen yet. >> you will be able to see it tomorrow on the will cain show. >> you've sent in great viewer questions and you'll see a bunch of them. turning to a few additional headlines, starting with this. the anti-israelen campment on colombia's university remains for another day. >> campus security tried row moving bro testers yesterday as they set up camp on friday, a month after security cleared encampments interest the south lawn. the school says they're awear of the situation. the launch of boeing's star liner was scrapped again. the countdown clock stopped ticking after a ground system computer ran into a snag. >> switch is not ready. clock stopped at t minus 3 minutes, 50 seconds.

at this time we completed our recycle back to t minus 4 and holding configuration and ready to proceed with a scrub. >> nasa announcing the passing up launching today to give engineers more time to investigate the computer issue. a chinese spacecraft landing on the far side of the moon earlier this morning, the goal of the mission is to collect soil and rock samples from less explored regions. this is the sixth mission in china's moon exploration program, as they look to put a person on the moon before 2030. caitlin clark picking up the first home win of her career after she was on the receiving end of this big hit. >> ken yo kennedy carter now, oe bench, and big-time contact afterwards. >> so pete, this has been happening a lot. she's getting real cheap hard fouls.

people are saying why. wh.-- where are her teammates? teammates should have her back. something is different in the treatment of caitlin clark. rachel: why? why? >> the sky player who shoved clark refused to discuss it after the game. watch. >> on the play before bumping into katlyn, seemed she turned to you a little bit after -- >> i won't answer caitlin clark questions. >> did she saying anything to you? i don't know what she said. >> what did you say to her. >> i didn't say anything. >> something is going on that ain't good. the fever beat the sky. those are your headlines. rachel: i'm not northerly interested in sports but this is interesting to me. are there theories out there. >> there's resentiment. >>s there's resentiment and there's the idea she's treated differently because she's white, she's a female, attractive. whatever. there's reasons players have taken issue with her. it's turning into physical play

on the court. >> as biden's border crisis crs rages on, trump outlines how he would fix the chaos on day one. >> who wants an open border with millions of people coming into the country. we'll be paying for this for a long time. i'll do the big deportation, the biggest ever, eisenhower did the biggest. this will be bigger. >> tom homan reacts live, next. for moderate to severe crohn's disease skyrizi is the first il-23 inhibitor that can deliver remission and visibly improve damage of the intestinal lining. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to. liver problems may occur in crohn's disease. control of crohn's means everything to me. ask your gastroenterologist about skyrizi. ♪ control is everything to me ♪ learn how abbvie could help you save.

>> the border patrol i know so well. they endorsed moment they always endorse me. they say when trump goes back it will all be better and biden, by the way, he doesn't need any legislation. he could say the word close the border, that's what i did, i said close the border and it was so of bad that it took a little while. i fixed the border originally. that's how i got elected in a way but now the border's -- i fixed it and i couldn't use it in 2020. in 2016, it was a big factor of my win. i fixed it very quickly and then in 2020 it was so good i said let me talk about the border many my people, all these geniuses said please, sir, don't talk about the border, it's fixed. he said let's talk about it but nobody wanted to hear about it but now the border is 100 times worse than it was in 2016.

>> former president trump slamming president biden's handling of the border as he outlines what he would do to fix it if he won re-election. fox news contributor, retired acting i.c.e. director tom homan joins us to react. tom, that's an interesting you nugget he points out. i won in 2016 based upon how big a problem this was and people wanted it fixed and here we are to and it's worse than it was in 2016. >> you know, will, i say this all the time. i worked for six presidents starting with ronald reagan. every president worked to took steps to protect the border. you can't have strong national security if you don't have strong border security. nobody did more than president trump. president trump is the best interest in my lifetime, hard stop. joe biden is the first president in the history of the nation who came into office and unsecured the border on purpose. who the hell does that? we went from the best secured

border in my lifetime to his historic unsecured border. >> i asked president trump yesterday, i said you talked about deportations, i said everybody recognizes if you have millions of illegal immigrants in the country, it's logical and common sense policy to remove them from the country and i asked him, though, do you think the public has the stomach for whatever appears on television, the process of that deportation. he said will, that's t that's actually tough because i know how they'll play it on the media, in the media. what do you think about that? will that be a policy that's actually capable of being implemented, deportations? >> it has to be implemented, there has to be a consequence. there are aasylum seekers, they have a right to claim asylum, a right to see a judge. i agree. at the end of the due process, grgreat taxpayer expense, if a federal judge says you have to be removed from the country, we have to remove them.

the if the court order doesn't mean anything, what the hell are we doing? shut down the immigration courts. if we go through the whole process of people claiming asylum, they lose the case, we don't reof move them, we're never going to fix the border crisis. they've got to be removed. the law should mean something. there's two ways to come in, legally or illegally. i can't blame had anybody who wants to be part of the greatest nation on earth. there's a right way you and wrong way to document you come in illegally, you are ordered removed, you will be removed under the trump administration. >> to illustrate the nature of the problem, the number of illegal immigrants coming from china, other countries, not latin america, through the san diego sector it's staggering at this point. it's a real national security risk. we appreciate you being on with us this morning, tom homan. >> thanks for having me, will. >> still ahead, the former president answers your questions, more of fox and friend weekend's exclusive interview, next.

>> we're back with a tv the ex choose i've of our one on one -- not one on one, three on one sit-down with president trump yesterday. it was wide-ranging. he talked about what he's looking for in a vp, the state of the economy and even reveals he plans to cut one federal department. take a look. >> let's talk about vice president. pete and i have gone off the wall, we talked about historically presidents pick vice president beess based upont states they can deliver, we talked about it seems you might be looking for a fighter. let's ask you directly. what are you looking for in a vice president? >> so you always have to say, and i mean it, if something should happen to the president you have to get somebody who could be a good president. okay. i think you have to say that. the second thing, i want somebody that can selfishly help me to get elected. typically, if you look over the years, look back 100 years, it's

almost never that a vice president helps. i mean, you're out there all by yourself, you really are. there's a day or two of hoopla, you picked a vice president, and then it goes back but it's almost never -- it's almost never helped. actually, the one person that helped had i guess you could say is lynn don johnson because he was a political animal. and he sort of helped a little bit politically, et cetera, et cetera, i guess but that's a theory anyway but typically a vice president doesn't help. so i would say somebody that you can get along with, somebody that can help you get elected, somebody that can be -- first, somebody that can be a very good president. >> debate's coming up on june 27th. how do you prepare for that? and what's -- i mean, you've stated it, joe biden's in a different place. how do you -- what's your strategy coming into it? >> so debates are interesting because i had never debated before then i debated a lot in the first -- 2016, 14 14 debater

something and it's been good. it's been good for me. it's worked. i think i won every debate. but i never had -- it's very interesting. 2016, i said who are these people i'm debating? half of them i've never heard of, governors or senators from some place. i said start with ted cruz. he said he's the national debate champion, he's the this, he's that. i said that's not good news. i said that's not good. i could have done with a little you bit less. maybe i should have started with somebody else. they're talented politicianses. for the most part, they're politicians. very interesting. in running for president, 92% were politicians and 8% were generals, not admirals. generals. and that's it. all of a sudden i'm going in as a business you g guy and differt kind of a guy but we with had a great four years, we were very successful. i mean, the things -- we had the largest tax cuts in history, had the largest regulation cuts in

history, the best economy in history. we rebuilt our military. we had no wars. i defeated isis. rachel: since you've been out of office, things have deteriorated. >> at a level that's not even believable. rachel: i think most people aagree with you on that. >> in terms of the economy, $34 trillion in debt, we printed money we don't have, led though massive inflation. how do you change that and turn that around for average americans that are struggling every day, worse and worse under joe biden's economy. >> we were doing great. we were energy independent. we were soon going to be energy dominant. i didn't want the russian pipeline to be built because of the fact, very simple, i wanted to supply them with the energy. the whole thing was all -- we are going to make a fortune. we have more liquid gold than any country in the world including saudi arabia and including -- and then i do anwar in alaska, the biggest find and biden closes it up in the first week. the department of interior, the woman, the person in charge,

closed it in her first day in office. ronald reagan tried to get it. he couldn't get it. everybody tried to get it, bush. i got it. and they close it up. i'm going to reinstitute it very quick lirks it will happen very fast. think of it. so we were rocking and rolling. we were energy end b pent. independent. we were in third place and beyond that when i took over. we were leading. you have to see a graph. russia, saudi arabia, above them, russia second. we're third. and then we go like this. i mean, we were going to be energy dominant. we were doing things the way you have to solve it is through growth. rachel: also cutting, right, mr. president? >> growth and cutting. the problem i had, we were starting to really rock and roll. we had the gratest greatest ecoy ever. then we had covid. if i didn't throw money at covid we would have had a depression like 1929. if i don't win, we'll have a depression like 1929.

one of the greatest analysts on wall street, considered maybe the best, he said the only reason the stock market is high is because they think you trump is going to win. rachel: i think one of your strongest points is you're a businessman. people love that you ran the country like a business. i believe if you get in office, we'll get the oil pipes going, we'llwe'llget energy growing . in argentina they cut agency, they went down to 8% inflation. >> he's maga. you know that. rachel: i know it. that's why i brought it up. >> he's my biggest fan. make argentina great again, works out perfectly. he has hats, make argentina great again. rachel: he's cut agent you sighs. are -- agencies. are you willing to make those kind of dramatic cuts? i think we have -- we have young kids, all of us.

i think their futures are on the line. he said $34 trillion in debt, repaying almost a trillion dollars in interest. is it every month? every year, every year. >> you mentioned the kids. so we're going to cut the department of education, let it be run locally. we have this -- >> end the department of education. >> end it, other than to have tiny coordination. make sure that everybody's teaching english. rachel: i love this. >> we're cutting the department of education. i was ready to do it before. covid really -- if we didn't throw money at that, you would have had a depression, we would have been in a depression and when i got out the stock market was higher than when just before covid came in. rachel: that will be the first department you're going to cut. >> that will happen immediately. rachel: i love it. >> we'll do like department of interior. there's so many things you can do. one of the things that's so bad for us is environmental agencies, they make it

impossible to do anything and so in louisiana, they had these massive refineries that lng plants but massive, essentially refineries. 14, 15 years they've been trying to get permits. i got it done in one day. one day i got the permit. don't tell anybody, please. i got it -- i didn't know who the hell was doing it. in one case gentl japan was doit is like the empire state building laid down on its side, oil pipes, unbelievable on the coast. in louisiana. the first one i got done in 24 hours. they worked on it for 14 years. and it was terrible. i mean, what they were doing. the environmental agencies have stopped doing it. they stopped you from doing business in this country and we did a great job. rachel: if you're working at the epa or in the teachers' union or department of education, those are fighting

words there. >> that's something that republicans have wanted to do since ronald reagan and republicans got away from making that public declaration for a while and trump came out and said it, i will end the federal department of education. we've seen what's happening in the classrooms and it should be controlled more locally. >> seems like an impossibility in america, a lot of politician versus promised but it's been done in other countries. they have different forms of government, different checks and balances, appetites and tolerance. you've seen economic benefits, you've seen the possibility. you've now heard the goal. so it will be up to president trump to fulfill that goal. >> and we're at a point where it's so big, the problem so big that if you don't make big, drastic moves like that, the trajectory never changes. rachel: we asked you to submit some questions and we with said and we promised we would ask the president and we did so here's one of your questions that you sent in to us that we presented to the president.

>> your sleep schedule, these are things of legend. she's asks what is the first thing you do every morning? >> i don't sleep a lot of. i don't say that as a badge of courage. a lot of people say i don't sleep and they maybe do. i rarely eat breakfast. it's funny, i love food but i don't necessarily -- i'm too anxious. i really enjoy life. it's kaye you. >> i. i shouldn't enjoy life. i get indicted. i get impeached. somebody said how do you live? the most often question i get, two questions. number one, again, will they do it again? you know what that means? very ominous. i said they're going to try. because they can't help themselves. they're bad. but we hope we're going to have them blocked. okay. the other question is how do you do it, how do you stand up and you get impeached, you get indicted, you get this, you get

convicted. [bleep]. they say how do you do it. i get that question from very big like you see the cars out here, you see the biggest people, all over. the biggest people on wall street they say how do you do it? how do you do it? they get a letter% the s.e.c a e s.e.c. that's a friendly civil letter and they can't sleep for two weeks. they say how do you do it? that's one i haven't been able to answer. i don't know. the reason i think i can do that is because i know how great this country can be and it's so big. it's such an important thing that i'm doing. i enjoy doing it. rachel: i thought that was such a fascinating answer that he said i don't know how i do it because everyone asks that question. you know, it takes so much work to do what he's doing, to run for office and then to have all these things on top of him, you know, all -- intel agencies against him, doj against him, charges here, charges in georgia. it's so much that everyone's like why do you do it and he says i love this country and you

kind of have to believe it because it hasn't been profitable for donald trump to run for office. it's been very profitable for the biden family to run for president. they've become fabulously wealthy from it from selling out our country but that is not what donald trump has done. in fact, he donated his salary, do you remember that, every -- >> i thought the right answer to the question was turn on "fox & friends weekend." but that's what i was hoping for. i didn't get it. but understandable. >> you asked and we relayed questions about military, god and prayer, we asked what democrat dead or alive could he work with to help unify the done you tri, the answer to that was joe manchin, no longer a democrat within the last couple of days, declared his independence. we'll air that if full tomorrow on the will cain show. from fentanyl to the farmland former president trump reveals how he plans to consistent bat china. maria bartiromo reacts to our exclusive interview with donald trump, next.

>> "fox & friends weekend" tv exclusive donald trump sharing how he plans to take the on the growing threat from china if he wins re-election. >> if you remember with china, i turned it around. first of all, i exposedded china. they said it's a deve develop n. i said we're a developing nation. they're a very rich nation.

they're doing very well. but i turned things. i got along very well with xi. i charged him hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs. we would have lost the steel industry. they had to pay close to $500 billion in tariffs. that was all turning around and we have tremendous power with respect to china but we don't have people that know anything about using it. >> not using our power. maria bartiromo joins us now. hey, maria, what do you think? maria: hi, there. congratulation, guys. yamazinginterview. you got so much out of president trump. i've been glued to the show all a morning long. what he said was spot on, the president was much tougher on communist china than president biden has been. we haven't seen president biden hold china to account for covid-19. we know what took place here and then after it leaked from the lab and infected the world, they

covered it up. and there's been absolutely no pushback at all on communist china, no evidence that we have that president biden brought this up in any of his meetings that walk in the park they had, none. and then you look at policy. not only did president trump have sanctions and tariffs but he also was a real unknown for china. remember that xi jinping was the first leader that president trump had at mar-a-lago back in 2017. you remember the infamous dinner, president and xi jinping in mar-a-lago, in the middle of dinner, having chocolate cake for desert and during the chocolate cake for desert, president trump drops the bomb on xi jinping and a says by the way, we sent 13 strikes to share syriabecause they used testimonn their people. xi jinping stopped and said ask had him to repeat what he said. he repeated it.

that was the beginning of the relationship between president trump and xi jinping, this unknown of i go to dinner at mar-a-lago and find out he struck 13 strikes to syria and that was why it was such an unknown. he kept china contained. by the way, there was an ndaa recently, the national defense authorization act, in that act the biden administration got in that they were banning new business for several chinese companies including huawei, hitera, a couple others, because they're doing surveillance on america. so they banned new business from these companies. what didn't they do? they didn't rip out the networking that's already immersed throughout our economy that we've got surveillance going on as we speak. chinese cameras everywhere across america. so he didn't really do much and that's why a lot of people question are why he canceled te china initiative, that was trump's initiative and people

question whether or not he accepted money from china. the next question is what does the guilty verdict mean for the presidential election. i've got eric trump and john ratcliffe and we'll talk with rand paul as fauci a is facing the music tomorrow morning. >> we'll be watching, thanks, maria. rachel: thank you, maria.
