HOST: INDEPENDENTS,

ABOUT 9:15 EASTERN TIME.
ONE THING WE CAN TALK ABOUT IS
SUPER TUESDAY.
THE PREVIEWS ARE IN TODAY'S
PAPERS FOR TOMORROW'S SUPER
TUESDAY, AS "THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL" NOTES 15 STATES ARE
SET TO CAST THEIR VOTES FOR
THN.
THEY ALSO NOTE NOMAT IT COULD MARK
THE
END FOR NIKKI HALEY'S LONG SHOT
BIT TO STOP DONALD TRUMP FROM
SECURING THE REPUBLICAN
NOMINATION.
MORE THAN A 1/3 OF ALL DELEGATES
ARE UP FOR GRABS.
MOST OF THE STATES THEY ABORT
THEM ON A WINNER TAKES ALL
BASIS. HERE'S THE STATES THAT WILL VOTE
TOMORROW IN SUPER TUESDAY
ALABAMA, ARKANSAS, COLORADO,
MAINE, MASSACHUSETTS MIN OKLAHOMA,
TENNESSEE, TEXAS UTAH, VERMONT
VIRGINIA AND AMERICAN SAMOA WILL
HOLD CONTESTS.
THERE'S THE MAP THERE.
THE UNITED STATES IS SET TO VOTE
ON THAT MAP IN GRAY ON THAT MAP.
TAKING YOU TOPIC
ANY PUBLIC POLICY ISSUE YOU WANT
TO TALK ABOUT.
RICHARD IS IN AUGUSTA GEORGIA
DEMOCRAT.
GOOD MORNING.ER: GOOD MORNING SIR.
ezUS
I HAVE ROGUE PROSECUTORS AND
ROGUE JUDGES, I HAVE JUDGES THAT
ARE OUT OF CONTROL AND IT'S A
VERY UNFAIR THING FOR ME BUT PERHAPS
AS A SAMPLE TO
OTHERS OF WHAT SHOULD NOT BE
HAPPENING.
WHEN YOU MAKE GOOD DECISIONS IN
MY CASE THE ECONOMY WAS GREAT
AND DIDN'T GO INTO ANY WARS AND
TOTALLY DEFEATED ISIS.
WE PROVIDED THE LARGEST TAX CUTS
IN HISTORY.E LARGEST
REGULATION CUTS IN HISTORY.
THINK OF IT, NO WARS.
WE BEAT ISIS 100% OF THE
CALIPHATE.
THERE WERE NO WARS.
WE DID A JOB THAT WAS GREAT.
MAYBE I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT,
THE CALIPHATE, DEFEATING THEM
WAS VERY POWERFUL AND WAS GOING
TO TAKE FOUR YEARS AND IT TOOK
ME FOUR MONTHS BUT WAS A VERY
STRONG VICTIM THAT I GAVE.
I SAID GET 'EM, DEFEAT THEM, END
IT. WE WERE FIGHTING FOR 20 YEARS
AGAINST ISIS AND DID IT VERY
QUICKLY.
I DON'T WANT TO BE
IN THAT CASE IT WORKED OUT VERY
WELL. THERE WILL BE SOME THINGS THAT
PERHAPS DON'T WORK OUT SO WELL
BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE
PROSECUTED BECAUSE I DECIDED TO
DO SOMETHING THAT IS VERY MUCH
FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY AND
ACTUALLY FOR THE GOOD OF THE
WORLD.
A PRESIDENT SAVE THAT
ON HIS MIND AND HE HAS TO HAVE A
FREE AND CLEAR MIND WHEN HE
MAKES VERY BIG DECISIONS OR IT'S
GOING TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A
CEREMONIAL POST.
YOU'LL BE PRESIDENT AND IT WILL
BE A WONDERFUL THING AND YOU
WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU
DON'T WANT TO BE HIT BY YOUREBODY
ELSE BECAUSE WHO WANTS TO LEAVE
OFFICE AND GO THROUGH WHAT I'VE
GONE THROUGH?
I'M BEING PROSECUTED BY BIDEN
MY OPPONENT, EVERY ONE OF THESE
THINGS, WHETHER IT'S FANNY
WILLIS ORIN
STATE BUT IN TOTAL COORDINATION
WITH THE WHITE HOUSE.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
IT SHOULDN'T BE DONE, A THING
LIKE THAT.
IN THE CASE OF THE D.A.'S
OFFICE, THEY PUT ONE OF THE TOP
PEOPLE, MAYBE THE SECOND PERSON
IN THE MANHATTAN D.A.'S OFFICE
TO GET TRUMP.
THEY HAD A HILLARY CLINTON
LAWYER LEAD THE LAW FIRM, VERY
PRESTIGIOUS LAW THE
LAW FIRM TO GO INTO THE D.A.'S
OFFICE TO GET TRUMP POMERANZ,
SO HE GOES IN TO BECOME A
PROSECUTOR, WORKED FOR THE
DEMOCRAT PARTY AND HILLARY
CLINTON AND GOES IN TO PROSECUTE
DONALD TRUMP AT A LOCAL LEVEL IN
TOTAL COORDINATION WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, MEANING
BIDEN. THEN YOU HAVE FANNY WILLIS OR
SHE WOULD SAW F-A-N-I FAWNY
SOMEBODY BEFORE
THE HORRIBLE PROSECUTION TOOK PLACE AND WENT OUT AND PAID THEM
AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY
MORE MONEY THAN YOU WOULD DREAM
POSSIBLE MUCH MORE M FOR A
LIVING, HE NEVER DID IT AT ALL
AND HAD NO EXPERIENCE AT ALL AND
THEY HAD OBVIOUSLY A CONFLICT
AND WE DON'T HAVE TO GO INTO
THAT BUT IT WAS A HIGH PROFILE
PERSON, ME.
I'M A VERY ABLE TO PAY HIM PLUS A
MILLION WHEN HE WASN'T EQUIPPED
TO DO THE JOB AND SHE'S NOT
EQUIPPED TO DO THE JOB AND THAT
CASE SHOULD END IMMEDIATELY.
THAT CASE IS SO CONFLICTED,
NOBODY HAS SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
IT. THEN YOU HAVE DERANGED JACK
SMITH WHO IS A TRUMP HATER AND
REPRESENTS THE ALL THE TRUMP
HATERS AND HE'S GOING WILD.
HE'S A WILD MAN.
HE'S BEEN OVERTURNED UNANIMOUSLY
BY THEER OTHER PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS.
HE'S HAD GREAT FAILURE BUT HE'S
MEAN AND NASTY AND UNFAIR AND
THE JUDGES ON THIS CASE ARE ALL
TRUMP HATERS OTHER THAN WE HAVE THINK
CAN BE FAIR BUT YOU LOOK AT NEW YORK
WHAT'S HAPPENED.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE TREMENDOUS
HATRED. YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO A
PRESIDENT.
AGAIN, I'M NOT JUST TALKING
ABOUT ME BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT
IN THE FUTURE.
A PRESIDENT HAS TO BE FREE.
A PRESIDENT HAS TO BE -- IF THE
PRESIDENT DOES A GOOD JOB, I
DID.
SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY A GREAT
JOB.
BUT IF THE PRESIDENT DOES A GOOD
JOB, A PRESIDENT SHOULD BE FREE
AND CLEAR AND FRANKLY CELEBRATED
FOR HAVING DONE A GOOD JOB, NOT
INDICTED FOUR TIMES AND N GONE
AFTER ON A CIVIL BASIS AND NOT
DEMANDED TO PAY HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS IN FINES ON SOMETHING
THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
WHERE THERE WERE NO VICTIMS
WHERE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
WERE AUT DISCLAIMER CLAUSES.
NOBODY EVER HAD A THING LIKE
THIS. I WASN'T GIVEN A JURY.
ANI HAD A CLUBHOUSE JUDGE JUST
COME UP WITH THIS NUMBER ON A
PERFECT LINE AND VERY
CONSERVATIVE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS BUT EVEN AT THAT, IF
YOU LOOK, THE DISCLAIME SAYS
DON'T RELY ON THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR
FORM, GO OUT AND DO YOUR OWN
WORK. THE BANK HAD THE
MOST SOPHISTICATED LAWYERS IN
THE WORLD, FRANKLY, ONE OF THE
TOP LAW FIRMS ANYWHERE IN THE
COUNTRY AND THEY CAN DEFEND
THEMSELVES WHAT, GUYS LIKE
BRAGG AND LETICIA JAMES AND FANI
AND DERANGED JACK SMITH, WHAT
THEY SHOULD BE DOING IS FIGHTING
VIOLENT CRIME AND WOULD LEAD ME
TO THE END P. I WILL SAY THAT
PRESIDENT BIDEN NUMBER ONE,
STOP WEAPONIZATION.
FIGHT YOUR FIGHT YOURSELF.
DON'T USE PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES
TO GO AFTER YOUR OPPONENT TO TRY
AND DAMAGE YOUR OPPONENT SO YOU
CAN WIN AN ELECTION.
OUR COUNTRY IS MUCH BIGGER THAN
THAT.
THE OTHER THING I SAY TO
PRESIDENT BIDEN CLOSE THE
BORDERS NOW.
THIS IS FOR OUR
COUNTRY. IT'S NOT SUSTAINABLE FOR OUR
CITIES. OUR COUNTRY IS UNDER SIEGE.
THIS IS A THING THAT
YOU'VE DONE AND MANY PEOPLE ARE
DYING, MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE
DYING. THEY DIE ON THE TRIP UP, THEY
DIE GOING THROUGH THE BORDER,
AND THEY DIE IN OUR COUNTRY.
BUT MANY OF THE PEOPLE COMING UP
ARE FROMNS AND JAILS FROM
MENTAL INSTITUTIONS AND INSANE
ASYLUMS, MANY ARE TERRORISTS.
YOU SEE IT.
MANY, MANY ARE TERRORISTS.
AND I BELIEVE THE REAL NUMBER
THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS
PROBABLY CLOSER TO 15 MILLION
PEOPLE AND BY THE TIME THE TERMDS,
I BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT'S
TERM ENDS, I BELIEVE YOU'LL BE
AT CLOSE TO 20 MILLION LARGER THAN
ANY
STATE IN THE UNION.
OUR COUNTRY, IT IS NOT
SUSTAINABLE. MANY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE TOUGH.
MANY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE BAD.
THEY COME FROM SOME OF THE
ROUGHEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD
AND SOME OF THE ROUGHEST
PRISONS.
PRISONS IN THE CONGO AND
AFRICA COMING.
WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE MIDDLE EAST.
THEY'RE COMING FROM YEMEN AND
YET WE'RE BOMBING YEMEN.
YOU HAVE TO STOP.
YOU HAVE TO CLOSE THE BORDER.
YOU HAVE ABSOLUTE OBLIGATION.
I DIDN'T USE CONGRESS FOR IT.
AND I BUILT HUNDREDS OF MILES OF
WALL AND THE REASON I BUILT IT
AND HOW I BUILT IT, I CONSIDERED
IT AN INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY
AND TOOK THE MONEY FROM THE
MILITARY AND THE ARMY CORPS OF
ENGINEERS DID IT WITH ME AND WE
AND WE HAD THE SAFEST BORDER
WE'VE EVER HAD AND NOW WE HAVE
THE MOST UNSAFE BORDER ANYWHERE
IN THE WORLD AT ANY TIME.
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A BORDER LIKE
THIS IN ANY COUNTRY WOULD HAVE
FOUGHT WITH STICKS AND STONES TO
STOP THE HORRIBLE SITUATION
THAT'S OCCURRING.
OUR PEOPLE CAN'T STAND IT AND
THE PEOPLE COMING IN REALLY
CAN'T STAND IT BECAUSE THEY'RE
DYING.
MANY ARE DYING ON THE TRIP UP
AND THEY'RE DYING IN THE CRYáa
AND ALSO MANY OF THE PEOPLE ARE
CRIMINALS AND THEY'RE DOING
TREMENDOUS HARM.
I CALL IT MIGRAN NEW CATEGORY OF CRIME.
THEY'RE HURTING OUR COUNTRY
HORRIBLY AND WE'VE BECOME A
LAUGHINGSTOCK ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
SO I SAY RESPECTFULLY TO
PRESIDENT BIDEN, YOU HAVE THE
AUTHORIZATION RIGHT NOW.
I DID IT. I DIDN'T GO TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO CLOSE.
I FOUGHT CONGRESS ON IT. CLOSE THE BORDERS.
YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT NOW.
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING.
USE MY POLICIES.
MY POLICIES WERE GREAT.
USE MY POLICIES.
SO JUST TO FINISH, I HAVE GREAT
RESPECT FOR THE SUPREME COURT
AND I WANT TO JUST THANK THEM
FOR WORKING SO QUICKLY AND SO
DILIGENTLY AND SO BRILLIANTLY.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS A UNIFYING
FACTOR.
EVERYBODY IS NOW TOGETHER AND
THEY CAN GO AFTER ME AS ME
WITH VOTES.
BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GO
AFTER ME WITH THAT KIND OF
LAWSUIT THAT TAKES SOMEBODY OUT
OF A RACE WHO IS LEADING IN THIS
CASE BUT EVEN IF THE PERSON
WASN'T LEADING.
I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR
BEING HERE.NS?
REPORTER: THE POLL NUMBERS ARE
MASSIVE FOR YOU GOING INTO SUPER
TUESDAY.
WE FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
WERE AGNOSTIC TO POLITICS IN
GENERAL AND
AGAINST YOU AND SEE HOW LIFE WAS
BACK UNDER A TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION, DO YOU THINK
THAT'S THE KEY TO PULL IN I
SAIDENT VOTERS IN THIS NEXT
ELECTION, SEEING THE NEW CASES
ARE UNFAIR AND HAVE NO MERIT AND
THE POLL NUMBERS AND LIFE BEFORE
TRUMP?
MR. TRUMP: IT'S AN INTERESTING
QUESTION.
HISTORICALLY WHAT I'M GOING
THROUGH IT WOULD HAVE HURT A
POLITICAL PARTY OR CANDIDATE
HORRIFICALLY, YOU WOULDN'T BE
ABLE TO RUN AND WOULD GET OUT.
THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER MANY
YEARS, MANY TIMES. IN THIS CASE, THE POLLS SHOW
THAT I'M MUCH MORE POPULAR THAN WEAPONIZATION.
IT'S BEEN WEAPONIZED LIKE IT'S
NEVER BEEN.
THIS IS FOR THIRD WORLD
COUNTRIES, THIS ISN'T FOR US.
BIDEN OUGHT TO DROP ALL THESE
THINGS. FRANKLY, HE MAY DO BETTER IF HE
DOES BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL SAY
WOW, THAT WAS VERY REASONABLE.
THE STATE, THE CITY, AND THE
FEDERA THEY'RE ALL
COORDINATED.
FANI WILLIS' LOVER SPENT HOURS
AND HOURS AT THE WHITE HOUSE, I
GUESS WITH WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL
WITH D.O.J. PLOTTING OUT THIS
PLAN.
NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THAT.
ALL THIS WEAPONIZATION.
IT'S BEEN DONE IN
COUNTRIES, BANANA REPUBLICS
THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES.
I REALLY BELIEVE WHAT THEY
SHOULD DO IS GO ALL THE WAY, GO
OUT AND STOP ALL OF THIS
NONSENSE, THEY ARE NONSENSE
CASES AND EVERYBODY SEES IT.
YOU JUST LOOK AT ATLANTA.
IT'S SUCH AN EMBARRASSMENT TO
GEORGIA WHAT'S HAPPENING TO
THERE. JACK SMITH, I DON'T THINK IS ANY
BETTER. LETICIA JAMES IS TERRIBLE.
SHE CAMPAIGNED ON I WILL GET
TRUMP, I WILL GET TRUMP AND THEN
IT GOES BEFORE A TRUMP HATING
JUDGE.
THE WHOLE THING IS A RIGGED
DEAL.
THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS IT.
I'M LUCKY I'M ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT
TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE IF YOU
WEREN'T ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT, THE
PUBLIC WOULDN'T KNOW, THEY'D
BELIEVE WHAT THEY SEE.
SO I DON'T WANT TO WIN THIS WAY.
LOOK, I WANT TO WIN BASED ON MY
POLICIES ARE BETTER, WE'RE GOING
TO CUT TAXES, WE'RE GOING TO GET
INTEREST RATES DOWN AND YOU'LLY HOMES
AGAIN.
YOU CAN'T BUY A HOME TODAY, THE
INTEREST RATE IS SO HIGH.
I WANT TO WIN ON SAFE BORDERS.
I WANT TO STOP THE WAR IN
UKRAINE WITH RUSSIA.
I WANT TO
IN ISRAEL.
ISRAEL WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN
ATTACKED IF I WERE PRESIDENT.
UKRAINE W NEVER HAVE EVER
BEEN ATTACKED IF I WAS
PRESIDENT.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE HAD INFLATION.
INFLATION WAS CAUSED BY HIGH
ENERGY PRICES.
I HAD LOW ENERGY PRICES AND KEPT
THEM THERE, VERY EASILY.
AND PROBABLY MAY BE CAUSED THE
WAR WITH UKRAINE BECAUSE PUTIN
BECAME RICH ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT
WENT UP SO MUCH. I WATCHED PRESIDENT BIDEN
TALKING ABOUT PUTIN.
PUTIN BECAME VERY RICH BECAUSE
AT $100 A BARREL, HE'S GOT SO
MUCH MONEY TO FIGHT A WAR.
AT $40 HE FIGHT A WAR.
BUT HE WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT
ANYWAY BECAUSE I TOLD HIM NOT
TO.
SO I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OF
YOU FOR BEING HERE. I THINK IT'S A VERY BIG DAY FOR
AMERICA. I THINK IT'S A VERY BIG DAY FOR
LIBERTY.
AND I THINK IT'S JUST A GREAT
DAY FOR THIS COUNTRY.
AGAIN, I HOPE IT'S UNIFYING.
BUT IT'S A BIG STEP TOWARDS
UNIFICATION. I HOPE THE JUSTICES, BECAUSE
THEY'LL BE WORKING ON SOME OTHER
CASES, BUT ONE IN PARTICULAR
PRESIDENTS HAVE TO BE GIVEN
TOTAL IMMUNITY.
THEY HAVE TO BE ALLOWED TO DO
THEIR JOB.
IF THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO
THEIR JOB, IT'S NOT WHAT THE
FOUNDERS WAND BUT IMPORTANTLY, IT
WILL BE
TERRIBLE FOR OUR COUNTRY.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.GINIO P NOW
