hungry for news on a different subject that the networks are giving you than the campaign and the traditional way to reach people like you are roe can. so you will go to facebook and you will go to twitter. you will go to different places where there's disinformation. it's sort of how cable is covering the violence in many american cities. i'm like you, i circulate the channels but i see more coverage on fox and i don't do gets controversial to say that fox covers more than "msnbc." the question is for an undecided neighbor of yours who wants this information and isn't getting it from traditional channels or traditional frequencies are broadcast where are they going to get it and which party is going to put forth to that voter a more compelling case on why they are presidential candidate should be the one.

>> thank you very much. before i provide an update on our continued progress against the china virus i would like to discuss their latest actions against the iranian regime. today i'm directing the secretary of state michael pompeo to notify the u.n. security council that the united states intends to restore virtually all of the previously suspended united nations sanctions on iran. snapback, not uncommon. two years ago i withdrew the united states from the disasters iran nuclear deal which was a product of the obama-biden's foreign-policy failure, a failure like few people have seen in terms that amount of money we paid for absolute nothing in a short-term deal. the deal funneled tens of

billions of dollars to iran, $150 billion to be exact plus $1.8 billion in cash which i don't know that the president had the authority to give gate 1.8 billion in cash. just another great deal that turned out to be a total disaster that would have funded all of the chaos in the bloodshed and the terror in the region and all throughout the world. i won't say anything because i don't like saying it but iran doesn't have so much money to give to the world any more to give to al qaeda and the various other groups of people that they were funding. they have to keep their own regime together and it's not easy for them. if and when i win the election within the first month iran will come to us and they will be asking for a deal so quickly because they are doing very poorly. that deal was a disaster.

$150 billion, 1.8 william dollars in cash and we got nothing except a short-term little deal. the short-term is starting to expire already. it's terminated if we didn't terminate if it would expire very surely pretty good deal was the deal we made with uae and israel and by the way other countries i will tell you now want to come into that deal, countries that you wouldn't even believe want to come into that deal and all of a sudden you will have peace in the middle east could have done with this ridiculous iran nuclear deal as they call it that president obama made along with sleepy joe biden. i impose the toughest ever sanctions on iran and this has caused great difficulty for them, giving money to terrorist organizations and if they do they will have to pay. earlier this year i ordered the strike that to take out the

world's number one terrorist kasim solo mani in addition to previously terminating leader and founder of isis abu bakr al-baghdadi the two leading terrorists by far in the world. the founder of isis and nobody even talks about that area and we also defeated we now have 100% of the isis caliphate in syria and when i took over was a total mess. they were all over the place. my ministries and would not allow this iran nuclear situation to go on. they will never have a nuclear weapon. iran will never have, market down, market down, iran will never have a nuclear weapon. when the united states entered into the iran deal it was clear

that the united states would always have the right to restore the u.n. sanctions that will prevent iran from developing a nuclear weapon. we paid a fortune for a failed concept and a failed policy, policy that would have made it possible -- impossible that he's in the middle east. here at home through operation legend we are confronting the wave of crime and democrat run american cities that absolutely shocking. when you look at portland or new york, san francisco, seattle, chicago, sometimes los angeles democrat run cities they are a mess because they don't get it. either they don't get it or it's something that nobody else understands. we have deployed more than 1000 additional federal agents to help these democrats run

disasters. we have to give them a hand and we can stop it immediately like in portland. it would be so easy to stop. we would stop it immediately. we would only send them some homeland people who are great by the way to save the courthouse because it would have been blown up or burned down. they did that very easily. but if we were called upon we would send in, whether its homeland or the fbi or just law enforcement and we would send them in quickly. we would eradicate it just like happened in minneapolis. as soon as they were called in. they should have been called an a lot sooner and they would have had far less damage. today we announced operation legend has successfully resulted in 1005 editor rest already. bad ones, really bad people for prosecutions and prison sentences will follow.

they will be a long time in prison for what they have done to the cities. most cities of these are well-run and most of the nation is well-run and the areas that we are talking about in all cases are run by democrats usually radical left leaning democrats like in new york or in portland. we have made arrests in kansas city, chicago, cleveland detroit milwaukee st. louis memphis and albuquerque for many violent crimes including arson and 91 murders. we are also using the full power of the federal government to defeat as you know the china virus. ..

pres. donald trump: the done an incredible job. we'll put them out. the hospitalization rate has fallen in our country, 54 percent. since this weekend april . 54 percent. older americans are still the most vulnerable to the virus. 92 percent of deaths have occurred 55 and older. only 2.7 percent of deaths have occurred among those 44 years. think of that 44 years and younger. only 2.7 percent of deaths have occurred. and many of those people had pre-existing conditions. they had problems. diabetes and other problems but many of those, so think of that,

only 2.7 percent. under 44 years of age. mortality in europe this year is 33 percent higher than the united states. evidence that the tragic cost of this virus is higher and other western nations. south korea, doing well, they've had a big breakout. we must all remain vigilant and continue to exercise extreme caution around those at highest risk as we know. multiple colleges and universities announced they would suspend in person teaching. we have learned one thing, there's nothing like campus. there's nothing like being with the teachers opposed to being on a computer board. is been proven, it is a lot better. the ipads are wonderful but you are not going to learn the same

way you do by being there. certain colleges and universities have announced they would suspend in person teaching. for older people in individuals with underlying conditions, the china virus is very dangerous but for university students, the likelihood of this is less than or equal to the risk of a seasonal flu. the seasonal flu. the seasonal flu happens and it comes and it goes and it can be very bad. but people don't talk about it in the same way. and they shouldn't. but if you look at that, the odds are less than or equal to. instead of saving lives some of the decision close universities could cost lives. it is significantly safer for students to live with other young people than to go home and spread the virus to older americans. does that make sense.

and they shut down things causing tremendous depression for those places are still shut down. look at certain areas that in all cases, the democrat run, still shut down. in the numbers there are not even good. but causing tremendous depression, suicide. drugs, alcohol, abuse. a lot of problems are being caused. probably far more i would say, is caused by the virus itself . now understand, the virus, and colleges should take reasonable precautions pretty students who feel say, should not attend class and should limit social interactions. as they would for any other illness. in the university should implement measures to protect the high risk.

the students are the professors. the ultimate goal of testing is to prevent transmission and height risk settings and to prevent transmission. but especially in nursing homes and to care for the vulnerable and our elderly. they fit into the definition of who is vulnerable. we have tremendous unused testing capacity in our country. we have a tremendous capacity. it is something that a lot of other nations are very impressed with the telus. in a path forward, we will continue to follow science -based approach to protecting the high risk while enabling healthy americans to safely go back to work and school. our country will be opened and is getting open quickly. and's stock markets are almost back to where they were prior to that china virus coming in.

i want to thank you all for being here and we will take some questions . reporter: during the pandemic appears to be getting a lot of followers. can you tell us what you think about that. the people who are following this movement right now. pres. donald trump: i don't know much about the movement other than they like me very much which i appreciate but i know much about the movements. i have heard that it is gaining in popularity. and from what i hear, these are people when they watch the streets of portland, when they watch what happened in new york city in just the last six or seven months. but this was starting even four years ago when i started here. almost four years. can you believe it . these are people who don't like seeing what is going on in places like portland. and in places like chicago and new york and other cities. and states.

i've heard these are people who love our country, they just don't like seeing it. so i don't know really anything about it other than they do supposedly like me. and they also would like to see problems in these areas like especially the areas that were talking about, go away because there's no increase in the democrats can't run the city. if they cannot, will said in all of the federal, whether it is troops or law enforcement or whatever they would like. we'll straighten out the problem in 24 hours or less. reporter: what about the theory, the belief that you are secretly saving the world from this titanic cold of pedophiles and cannibals. does that sound like something you are behind. pres. donald trump: i have not heard that. is that supposed to be a bad thing are good thing. if i can help save the world

from problems, i am willing to do it. i'm willing to put myself out there. and we are actually. perceiving the world from the radical left philosophies that will destroy this country. and when this country is gone, the rest of the world will follow. thus the importance of this country. and when you look at some of the things that these people are saying, with defund the police and it noble groups, open borders. everybody just for right into our country. no testing, no nothing. you talk about testing. the testing. mexico's you know, is a very high rate of infection. the wall is could be 300 miles longest sweep. our numbers are extraordinary. on the border. in this through block perhaps more than talent though the talent is getting done.

you don't hear about the ball anymore. but i will said the weeding strengthen our country, not weakness. too much weakness. reporter: you been very polish, the fda appeared to be on the break of issuing an emergency authorization to convalescent plasma. but after hearing from top of officials from nih, was not enough evidence to go with that. they have put down on pause. your reaction to that and you believe that convalescent plasma should be here. pres. donald trump: i hear great things about it. it could be a political decision. because you have a lot of people over there who don't want to rush things because they want to do it after november 3rd. and you've heard that one before. but i've heard fantastic things about convalescent plasma rated i've heard numbers way over

50 percent. success. and people are dying and we should have an approved if it is good. i am hearing it is good. i've heard from people at the fda that it's good. reporter: my understanding of the white house will encourage the nih in the fda get that . pres. donald trump: the numbers are as good as i'm hearing from over 50 percent. that is very good . we have approved certain things are and 31 percent . that's okay too. that's about. it's really limited tremendous impact. you're telling me something right now this surprises me. but we will check it out right after this. reporter: . [inaudible]. pres. donald trump: i do not want people dying. i do not want people dying. reporter: . [inaudible]. a boycott - federal government to stop buying and using products as well.

[inaudible]. pres. donald trump: the plane politics . the people who are working for goodyear, i can guarantee you, very well with all of those great workers and goodyear. and when they say you can have low lives matter, you can't show blue line, he can't wear hats. you can never of the things that are marked in nature. there's something wrong with the top of goodyear. and with the radical left is impossible for people to do business if they are republican or conservative. in the put out all sorts of efforts, don't shop there. they do vicious things. also different than what you saw on the streets of portland two nights ago. reporter: . [inaudible]. pres. donald trump: if they want to follow political speech, they want to elect you not to what

everybody is doing. if they want to where omega have to work they want to where a blue lives matter. you a blue line is, as police men and. that is a terrible thing. so they are using the power of these people. these people want to wear whatever it is that we are talking about. you know that . so i would be very much in favor of people. we set a jobs record over the last quarter as you know. the most jobs ever in the history of our country. even able to get another good job. i think it is disgraceful that they did this. please go ahead. reporter: mr. president, you said that the hong kong, terrible thing. you have a message for the administration. [inaudible]. pres. donald trump: was in them best wishes. i hear he is a wonderful gentleman. certainly a brave man.

edison him best wishes. with that being said, because of that and obviously what happened in hong kong, we have taken all of the vast amount of money that we used to subsidize hong kong. we essentially subsidized hong kong by giving them all sorts of incentives. that is what made hong kong business and hong kong success . were taking it all back. that means that the united states would you of our business. we gave him tremendous incentive and subsidy in order that they been successful for freedom. but now that the freedom obviously seems to have been taken away, we will keep all of these incentives that we were giving them which is billions and billions of dollars. all of the business will come into our country including the new york stock exchange. in nasdaq, it will all come here. bubut i feel badly for them. here is a good person.

i don't know him. but obviously, a very brave person. did you have something . reporter: thank you mr. president. coming in tomorrow, what about prime minister. to be with you. how do you feel that they can once again, between iranians includes a russian influence. you feel that under this prime minister, that that's possible once again. [inaudible]. pres. donald trump: this is a man that i get along with very well. were down to very few soldiers. getting out of these endless wars . these ridiculous endless wars predict we should never been there in the first place. that was the worst decision made pretty we should've never been in the middle east. but we are getting out rapidly. over the course of three years. and getting out. it is very sticky getting out rated some people agree. and many people don't agree but i think that most people are

much agree. we are doing very well in our negotiations with afghanistan. if you're getting out of town to a much smaller amount of people. a great men and women coming home. and coming home after they have been hit . i've also greeted many bodies coming back in. we been there 19 years. were acting as police as opposed to soldiers. it will have to place their own states. they been doing that for thousands of years. but as time after 19 years, our soldiers come home. they did an incredible job rated their 9/11 to fight to win. and maybe they shouldn't be. because of lots of the people, not their fault. but with the taliban and with going to iraq. we're down in afghanistan, great

phone numbers. they will be taking place and i let them know, do anything and he will be hit by like you have never been hit before. so we are doing very well pretty syria of the same thing. remember when i took all of the soldiers off of the border between syria and turkey. and everybody said, there was a long time ago. if they this is terrible. why don't we have our soldiers between syria and turkey. turkey can definitely take care of itself. i have been very good relationship with the present there. in syria has been fighting them forever. why are we guarding their order. so i brought our soldiers back home. i got them guess what, nothing has happened. they been fighting like they have been for a thousand years . nothing is happened. and nobody mentions that . everybody said this is going to be a disaster. there is no disaster. nothing has happened. so we are getting out of the endless wars.

and we are building a military, the likes of which the world has never seen . to have trillion dollars we have spent. and we don't ever have to use it. but we want to focus on a much bigger picture. because we have a much bigger picture. when you look at what china is doing and you look at what russia is doing and when you look up but some countries are doing. we want to be ready just in case there is a catastrophe. we don't want to see that forever use it. we have three bills armed military. new missiles, new rockets. it takes a new everything. jeanette trillion, all made in the usa. we've upgraded incredibly hard nuclear capability. and some of our nuclear needed nourishment. new strength. if upgraded it significantly. to a level that nobody would even believe. and hopefully, you pray to god,

we never have to use it. okay read but we have never been in a position where we have been the straw. please. reporter: thank you so much . wanted to ask about the middle east. you mentioned that of the countries where interested in following suit. pres. donald trump: yes greatest. reporter: do you expect the saudi arabia will join. and also mris have expressed interest in. [inaudible]. do you think that is something they should look forward to in the future . pres. donald trump: have definitely got the money to pay for it. it is nice because usually a lot of times make deals, they don't have 10 cents. be given to them like, how about a expect later but they never pay. because i don't have the money. will they have the mind of an like to have quite a few of 35 spring it is the greatest fire

jet in the world greatest holy stuff pretty can't see it . u.s. compiler, which ones better. talk about russian chinese planes and he said well, the advantage we have is you can see it. so when we are fighting, they can't see us pretty and said that sounds like a really big advantage to me. i say to these pilots, they look better than tom cruise. and there definitely tougher. and he's nice guy. but these people are amazing. and i think a lot about it pretty go around to the various places. the big one in florida is the example. the big one up down pretty much by the hurricane. so i spent a lot of time on that produce the greatest thing in the world. one of that kind of thing,

architect, technology . they would like to buy a 35 spring to be we'll see what happens present to review. but they made a great advance in peace in the middle east. even the new york times said it was an incredible deal can you imagine that. tom friedman in a very nice thing to say about us. he thought it was terrific. i see a lot of countries coming in fairly quickly. and when you have the mullen, ultimately iran will committed to pretty normal people peace in the middle east. iran will be very much neutralized . he never thought this could've happened. and with a horrendously stupid iran deal signed by obama read this could've never happened. reporter: on the goodyear issue. what about the tires.

if there were an alternative, would you want those tires swapped out . pres. donald trump: i would swap them out. a lot of people not wanting to buy the product anymore. i from a competitor. made in the usa two. okay . reporter: from obama, democratic convention. he says that helps you would take being a president more seriously. and reverence for democracy. what is your reaction. pres. donald trump: when i listen to this and see the horror that is left us, the stupidity of the transactions that he has made. look what we are doing. we have a brick border wall, security, a universally praised by people that aren't exactly fans of donald trump. for various reasons.

it can be my personality. but the nonfans bright read but when i look at what we have and i look at how bad he was buried, and of the presidency was pretty was so ineffective, some terrible. so it's going recovery in the history again since 1929. on the economy. tougher get to the china virus came in, we were the greatest economy of the world. never doing it again. and we will have to do a second time. were doing it again. it's hard to believe. we are doing very well pretty for the numbers from away way down on the virus predict but when you look at the kind of numbers that were producing on the stock markets. we are almost at the level, in fact nasdaq, chesapeake are higher than they were at the highest point prior to the china virus coming in. the blanket coming in. president obama did not do a good job. the reason i am here is because

president obama and joe biden, because if they did a good job, would not be here. probably if they do do good job, i would not have even run. it would've been very happy. i enjoyed my previous like very much. but they did just in such event of the standard for you as president. thank you all very much. reporter: .
