and america is much less does not take root like it did. which leads me to why i tattled the book sam hissed and and the alamo avengers, the texas victory that changed american history. thank you for watching, everyone >> from the fox studios and new york city, this is maria bartiromo wall street. maria: happy weekend everyone, welcome to the program that analyzes the week that was an helps position you for the week ahead. i am maria bartiromo, welcome to our special program, coming up in a few moments my exclusive interview with donald j trump as we discussed joe biden, here is to the stimulus package and why the talks stalled as well as his crackdown on chinese companies like wall weight and tiktok, it's coming up in my exclusive interview with the president. let's take a look back at the moment to top newsmakers in this edition of this week's talkers.

first off are you okay, tell us what happened to you. >> i was not afraid of being sent to china because when the police came to my house, almost 20 of them inside, i don't know how many outside, none of them, hong kong police. maria: your reaction to the economy today. >> during a rebound in economic activity from retail sales to him industrial production to housing, you have three main voices boosting the economy, the mass of domestic and global stimulus. maria: what do you think, what your reaction too, by harris? >> i spent most of the night going to the record as a prosecutor, that is my greatest love and probably the thing i know the best of, she is one of the worst prosecutors i've ever seen. maria: you believe the case against flynn was made up anyw

anyway. >> why has joe sullivan decided to put himself in the middle of the situation and continue to drag this out. maria: i have a document from the senate intel committee showing andrew mccabe speaking to the senate intel committee on fiber 14th 2018, does that mean andrew mccabe was the one who misled the senate? >> it would not surprise me, i don't know why andrew mccabe has not been indicted. maria: does this go up to obama and biden as the president just told us. >> i would like to say it is way worse then we even thought it was and we knew it was really, really bad, there is no questi question. maria: as we mentioned, democratic presidential nominee joe biden introduced california senatosenator kamala harris, i d president trump on his take a one abided presidency would

mean. president trump: she is radical left, now she tries to pretend she is not but she's the most with liberal person in the u.s. senate. she has done things that are terrible in terms of the police in terms of the second amendment, in terms of everything else. she is a big tech or, as joe is a big tech, it will be the biggest tax increase in history by far. it will trip triple up records and they are big taxes, you will see a depression in which you've never seen, you have to go back to 1929, does not get too much worse than that and you will just see that, frankly we've had a tremendous market, you and i have talked about that, the stock market, were almost back to where we were and were still on the pandemic which will be going away, as i say it'll be

going away, how can you say that, because it will be going away. but were in the middle of a pandemic and we will be hitting records, nasdaq already has many times, like 14 times and the dow, if you take a look at the numbers for the first time today, it is actually down a few points, i am almost shocked to see that, we've been going up, i think 9000 points, 54% since march. somebody made a lot of money. i hope those 401k people did not do anything when it got down when it did because all be very unhappy right now, but if they stayed with trump, they are very rich. maria: this market is trading higher, i guess on the anticipation that the economy is going to come back. second half or 2021 as well as a rock-bottom interest rate, do you have confidence that we are going to see a double-digit growth number in the second half? what does 21 look like in your

view from an economic standpoint mr. president. president trump: i think it depends on who wins, if he wins you will end up with a disaster to be honest. i see his plans, the new green deal is something that the likes of which nobody can even comprehend, it's like you're drawn by children, each drawn by children, so ridiculous, you go over points over point, they are actually serious about it. i used to think they were playing games, it was politics, i don't think it's good politics is so ridiculous. but the target about no fossil fuels which basically means no energy, you'd have to close down half the businesses of the country. you would have to rebuild cities because too much light gives through the windows, let's make the windows nice and small, let's rip down then prior state building and replace it with no windows, the whole thing is so preposterous, it is so crazy, i guess you're talking about $100 trillion, assuming you did

it which will never happen, but i will tell you no airplanes, let's not get more than one car, i'm sure the car business would love that, let's everybody get a car and live by it, decals i'm not sure if they put them in they were getting hit very hard by the animal rights groups but they don't want cows or any form of animals, these people are crazy, this is what were getting and it's amazing the way sleepy joe'joe buys into it, he does nt know what he's doing and now you have a madwoman because she was so angry and such hatred but just as kavanaugh, i've never seen anything like it, she was the angriest of the group and they were all angry. they were all radical left angry people in their angry because i beat them, they still have not forgotten, these are seriously ill people. but if you look at her record,

it's a terrible record. i'll tell you the good pull, the good pull, were doing good on the polls and they love the suppression polls, this is a most like a replay of four years ago but they said i would lose every swing state the day before, he will lose every swing state, it will be a very short evening, except i won every swing state, every single one and most of them pretty easily, you take a look at some of the swing states, i won them easily, i got three or six, they said the night before the election, there is no way he gets to 270, i got to 306 and the electoral college. it is crazy, these people are crazy. maria: it is partly because you focus on jobs and you may campaign promises to people about bringing the economy back which is exactly what happened after the tax legislation, the deregulation in your policies around energy, but

mr. president, yesterday, both biden and harris took shots at using 40 million people out of work, he drove this economy into the ground, what do you want to say to them knowing that before the coronavirus, we were talking about the best economy any of us had seen or certainly in a generation but today's numbers do not reflect that and they've got that to throw on you. president trump: they really don't, nobody is buying it. we got in by the china plague, we will not forget it, we got hit by the china plague, but the greatest economy in history, greatest job numbers, greatest stock number enter market numbers, greatest economic numbers, nobody's ever seen it. i was cruising to election, they were not even going to be a factor, george washington would've had a hard time waiting, we were cruising you had to see the numbers. and it was not even going to be a factor in the market was going to go through the roof because he's an overhang, having joe biden is a big overhang, even

the numbers you put up every day that are so good, there is an overhang, if he got in the numbers would go down thousands of points if he ever won the election, it's an overhang, certainly there's a chance i could happen. that is holding back, that is a headwind, that is holding back the market. believe it or not as good as the markets bed, up 50% since march, 9000-point, you've never saw anything like it. i'm talking about the new was going up -. maria: you are right. president trump: all be doing it twice, i will have rebuilt it twice, but nobody blames me, even the radical left crazies out there, this is the first time i've heard this attack, nobody's blaming for the fact, call it whatever you want, the china virus, as you know there's 20 names for, you have your pick

of names, i call it generally the china virus, it came out of china into the never been allowed to happen, the fact is the plague cayman and i closed it up, saved millions of lives, and our reopening, i put up charts that were incredible, you talk about mv, that's a supervene and were coming back and coming back strong, my biggest headwind is biden, everybody no if biden gets in the market will crash, he will build regulations and his taxes, he will tax people for trillion dollars. maria: more of my exclusive interview with president trump coming up, stay with hey, can i... hold on one second... sure. okay... okay! safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! check it out. safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! he's here.

maria: welcome back now, my exclusive interview with president trump, many hope that joe biden's nomination was a signal that the moderate wing of democratic party was in charge,

the president says not so fast, watch. >> he is going to give not tax increases, massive tax increases to pay for aoc's plan, aoc was a poor student, i won't say where she went to school, does not matter, this is not a smart person other than a good line of stuff, she goes out and she yaps. these guys are all afraid of her. , if you notice all of these progressives are beating the regular democrats, you look at elia anglo, he's saying what happens, what happened, what are they we lost elia. he got wiped out. schumer will get beaten by her, she will run against schumer and he knows it and he will get beaten by her unless he could talk her out of doing it, he has no chance. maria: you think he will get

being this november? president trump: chuck schumer will be aoc run against chuck ck schumer and i think she will w win. they've done so many bad things who knows or should get there. who knows whether or not should get there. maria: the breakdown on talks on stimulus. tell me about that, that's another thing they were complaining about you saying he is not there negotiating, we want to get something done, the democrats are put on a 3 trillion-dollar plan, what specifically are they pushing for that is causing a breakdown in any deals, nancy pelosi said the democrats in the white house are still miles apart on stimulus. president trump: they are right, it is their fault. they want three and a half billion dollars for something that will turn out to be fraudulent, election money

basically. they want three and half billion dollars for the mailing votes, universal mail-in ballots. they want $25 billion, billion, for the post office, they need that money to have the post office work so they can take millions and millions of ballots. in the meantime, they are not getting there, those are just two items, if they don't not get those two items that means you cannot have universal mail-in voting because they are not equipped to have it, you see how bad it's been with carolyn maloney, she skimmed her way into an election, she probably lost but they said mail-in ballots, it's all mixed up, paterson new jersey, yesterday virginia, 500,000 applications for ballots got sent to everybody, nobody even knows, got sent to dogs, dead people, nobody has any idea what happened, they said we have made a mistake, 500,000 ballots in virginia, how do you think about

virginia when you have 500,000 0 phony ballot applications. maria: this is what's holding it up? president trump: know that's only one aspect. maria: this is what's holding it up, money for the american people, they want mail-in ballots and mailing for the post office, one of us to and sticking point for americans with his coronavirus. president trump: that's one of them. how would you like to have three and a half billion dollars, billion, foreboding, they did not have it, do not how much money that is, people have no idea, three and half billion, they want $25 billion for the post office because the post office is going to have to go to town to get these ridiculous ballots in. there is nothing wrong with getting out and voting, they voted during world war i and world war ii and they should

have voter id because the democrats scammed the system, two are the items are the post office and the three and half billion dollars for mail-in voting, if we don't make a deal, that means they don't make the money and we can't have universal mail-in voting, they just cannot have it. it's a crazy thing. maria: i know the state legislature, how many states are going to be doing mail-in voting, ag bartoli this opens the floodgates of fraud, how many states are you expecting to take place in? president trump: california where they're sending out tens of millions of ballots, they have noisier where they're going and maybe they want everybody but republicans but the california and they have many states, i will say it, we are challenging in court, we are challenging and is being challenged by many different

levels, many lawsuits, this will be the greatest fraud in history, this will be the most fraudulent, almost as fraudulent as obama spying on my campaign, but not quite. this will be the greatest fraud in history. maria: i'm going to get to that and then the issue around federal ids, you don't need an idea in some places to actually vote but you needed id for everything but they don't want people to have identification to show you are who you state you are when you go to vote. president trump: is called voter id, it's a greatest thing there is, everybody knows it, some states like indiana, very well-run states but many don't and the democrats are fighting it to the nail because they cheat, there's only one reason cheat, there's only one reason to fight it, they cheat we love our new home. there's so much space. we have a guestroom now. but, we have aunts. you're slouching again, ted.

maria: welcome back, more of my one-on-one exclusive with president trump, he has not been shy in terms of being critical with china, he also delivered tough love to our allies elsewhere, news this week on tariffs on the european union. watch. president trump: the european union is almost as bad as china, everybody doesn't like it when i say that, they say there are always, they take advantage of us tremendously on nato, they don't pay their dues, germany is delinquent for billions and billions of dollars and we are supposed to protect them, they pay a lot of money to russia for oil and gas, the pipeline, they pay money to russia, billions and billions of dollars and were supposed to practice from

russia, they are very delinquent, they're paying 1%, they're supposed to pay to in the real number should be for or five, we get it from every different quarter, i caught it, i'm wise to it and you have a lot of stupid people out there that sam not treating germany right, i'm not being nice to france. in a very friendly to the people, they smile at me when i look at them, they said nobody has ever talked to us like you do. , i have needed to pay $400 billion more a year, my biggest fan in the world is secretary of nato, he says i can't believe it, we were going down every year for 20 years going down, down, down for protection and i came in and it looks like a rocketship, still germany is not paying anywhere near where they're supposed to, use the word delinquent, they do

not pay. maria: you also change the conversation on china, i want to talk to you about that, we have trade talks later this week, beijing officials are saying they plan to bring up your ban on american businesses conducting transactions with we chat and tiktok, the journal is reporting major corporations like apple, disney, walmart expressing concerns over we chat in particular, you pretty uncomplaining to narrow the band, tell us the threat around wechat and tiktok. president trump: when we lose permitting is 400, 500, 300, $200 billion a year, billion with china, dealing with china before we even get into security, it is been a ripoff, the likes of which the world has never seen. i charge massive tariffs and they paid us just tens of billions of dollars in tariffs, as you know they targeted our farmers and i gave our farmers all the money that they got

targeted for which is $28 billion over a three-year period, i give the money to the farmers, that's why they love trump because they took care of them opposed to other administrations that forget about the farmers, i took it out of china, were getting right now under the trade you, people don't know, schumer had no idea, he said we don't get tariffs anymore, he don't like tariffs, all the sudden they thought it was great because so much money comes into us but then when i made the deal i left the tariffs on which nobody still understands, how did i make the deal and leave the tariffs on in their buying a lot of corn, et cetera et cetera. with all of that my mindset has changed on china since they allowed the plague to come in, that such a devastating effect on the world to us and the world. which is terrible, no i view china differently than i did, before plague and after plague, right now i view china differently than i did before

plague. maria: so we just spoke with jimmy, he's been on the front lines of the hong kong protest, he spoke out about what he wants the u.s. to no about the communist party and he also took real issue with xi jinping being dictator for life, here is jimmy with me just 20 minutes ago. >> it's easy for them to change especially xi jinping, xi jinping is hopefully the communist, he wants to bring china back, all the control that he is increasing, exactly the way he was controlling the country.

maria: mr. president he's talking about xi jinping being the problem because these dictator for life and wanting china to take it back to the dynasty, would you want to see xi jinping step down? president trump: they are running their country and we are running our country, we have other countries that tweet us very badly and tweet us like children because we had foolish leadership, i'm being nice when i use the word foolish. we had at the top at the presidential level and all of these countries fromhina, es ahe tsi t c tntriount ans,eran m othsave kenkedv age af o ue w raenight ieduthhex mex mex mex cad canae havoe t d t t uca ann i phesshef rasthtenigou whithhiith bhh enthhehelagu plae cameamamam hah eal chilna cloreeee tha inour days dayt wayayayng to to b t yroy theyyll i i had i dea d with w hong kong is a complex problem because her given tremendous amounts of money in the form of incentives to make hong kong

free and make hong kong work, to our detriment. i have taken all of that back, all of those incentives for the hong kong market in order to keep a certain amount of freedom knowing they have china looming over the top of them but all of those incentives, billions and billions of dollars i gave, that we gave to hong kong, i have taken back because it's, if you use a business term it's owned by china, why should i give this to china, hong kong can never succeed without those incentives. hong kong can never succeed having china as opposed to the thousands of geniuses that ran it, having china run it. maria: more about explosive with the president when we come as a caricature artist, i appreciate what makes each person unique. that's why i like liberty mutual. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need.

maria: welcome back more with my

exclusive interview with president trump, talked about cracking down on chinese companies that are listed in the u.s., we talked while huawei and tiktok as he plans a second term. watch. president trump: the first thing, we've got those people and their being prosecuted under this administration, they are being prosecuted, number one. tiktok, i broke the deal i said you cannot do business in the united states, i also said to huawei you cannot do business in the united states, i told our so-called allies all over the world, all of which for the most part take advantage of us, we have allies, very good allies but some take advantage of us because so many years they were allowed to absolutely rip us off, i told him if you go with huawei that's okay but we will not communicate having to do with intelligence because the intelligence goes right into beijing and we don't want that, we know that and we have better scientists than they do, we are

better engineers than they do and we know exactly what happe happens, we explained that to europe and others and for the most part they are not buying huawei, if they do will have to cut off intelligence because we cannot have that go into beijing. there has nobody with china or russia or anybody else that i have, despite a media that is bought out by china much more so than russia, do you ever notice they always say russia, russia, russia, they don't say china, china, china because most of the people they look by the aba or bought off by china, china is the big pot of gold, they say let's use russia instead of china but china is the big problem and i made a much smaller problem, the fact is with hong kong, were saving a massive amount of billions of dollars and is not going to work and cannot work, it's based on the dollar and to the point

there is almost no secondary currency, the dollar is stronger now than it's ever been, and will be stronger in my second term and i don't mean from a price standpoint but the pedigree of the dollar unless the biden getzen with his super taxes, he will tax this country into depression like in 1929, if you do what he wants to do, you have to say it i've been pretty good at predicting thanks including saying i would win the election and when it is second time by the way. one of the reasons i'm going to win a second time, people have made a fortune with me and they don't want their 401ks go on down by 75, 80% or more, that is what's going to happen. regulations and taxes, he will regulate everything and put everything back times to. maria: mr. president you talked

about capital gains tax cuts, you talked about payroll tax cut, you talked about regulation, what is the plan for the second term agenda? president trump: i did the payroll tax cut, this is a temperate payroll tax cut but a substantial positive joint to the economy, i'm going to do a capital gains tax cut to 15% and second term, we will get it down to 15, we will get that down to 15% and i'll get that done easily, were going to take back the house because nancy pelosi is stone cold crazy and i think we will take the house, that is upon, i don't make us statement like that are easily but otherwise i look very bad but were going to take back the house and hold the presidency and we are fighting very hard at the senate, the senate is tough, we have a couple of people that are not supportive as trump as they should be in those people

are going to lose the elections, if they don't support trump they will lose the elections pre-look at haggard in tennessee, he was a trump guy and he will become the senate, he won the primaries the other day. you look at all the things that have happened, but the ones that do not support, i'm just talking, take a look, the ones that don't support and you have a few people that want to be cute, i think they will win their elections and that's a problem for the senate. president trump: do you believe school choice will be an issue this upcoming election given the fact that we are in the shutdown and this is a big issue for minorities and particular. president trump: the union's own biden, he does not even know it, joe does not know he's alive but the union's own biden in the radical left, they own pelosi and schumer and they will do anything for the unions

including destroy the future of our children, by the way the union workers i love them, there is nothing more valuable than good teachers, teachers are the whole basis for everything. that's a very important thing. maria: richard was on the show last week and i told him that the income gap was narrowing before the coronavirus, i remember reporting on this because wages were going up so much, he said absolutely not it is not true, can you talk to us about what was taking place in terms of the income gap in wages before the coronavirus because i was communicating this the other day and he said it is not true. president trump: he totally controls nancy pelosi and what we did to usmca, he had us sign off on it from her, she would not do it unless he signed off,

he's a good guy but he's a union guy, he does what he can do. but if you look at really what was happening before, this country was coming together because china said over the plague, this country was coming together, somebody said what's going to bring -- how can the country heal i said one word success, it was happening, you know that, we were getting closer, people were calling me, i'm talking about democrats and were calling me and talking in a way that was different from what had been because we had the best employment numbers we've ever had. we had the best numbers we ever had, the best stock market numbers we've ever had which now looks like will be supplanted with what we have now. we've had the best success we've ever had in this country was coming together and then the plague hit us from china, now we

are rebuilding it and it's going up like a v, lik like a rocket. maria: more with my exclusive [ thunder rumbles ] [ engine rumbling ] [ beeping ] [ engine revs ] uh, you know there's a 30-minute limit, right? tell that to the rain. [ beeping ] for those who were born to ride, there's progressive. we live in the mountains so i like to walk. i'm really busy in my life; i'm always doing something. i'm not a person that's going to sit too long. in the morning, i wake up and the first thing i do is go to my art studio. a couple came up and handed me a brochure on prevagen. i've been taking prevagen for about four years. i feel a little bit brighter

and my mind just feels sharper. i would recommend it to anyone. it absolutely works. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. the worst genocide in human history also destroyed the lives of thousands of jewish survivors still suffering today. god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word. "comfort ye, comfort my people." when i come here and i sit with lilia i realize what she needs right now is food. these elderly jews are weak and they're sick. they're living on $2 a day which is impossible. this now, is how god's children are living. take this time to send a survival food box to these forgotten jews.

the international fellowship of christians and jews urgently need your gift of $25 now to help provide one survival food box with all of the essentials they critically need for their diet for one month. no vitamins and no protein so my legs and hands are very weak. oh, oh, oh let's make sure that we bring them just a little bit of hope. by bringing them a little bit of food. become a part of the fellowship today by reaching out to bless these precious people of god. for just $25, you can help supply the essential foods they desperately need for one month. that's less than a dollar a day. i just want to encourage all of you to join with yael eckstein and the wonderful work of the international fellowship of christians and jews. god tells us to take care of them, to feed the hungry.

and i pray holocaust survivors will be given the basic needs that they so desperately pray for to survive. that they so desperately pray for to survive. maria: welcome back, first president trump faced a russia hoax and then an impeachment trial, the president pulled no punches on talking about the resistance of the first term. president trump: it was a phony fake impeachment, was a disgrace in a phone call that was a perfect phone call. the only one to get impeached from a perfect phone call, and i got impeached because the level of hatred. but when they say abuse of power, it's not a get everything done, i will have over 300 judges by the end of the first term, nobody has ever seen that before, i will have two supreme court judges, justices and will have literally over 300 judges including court of appeals,

we've done things that nobody's ever done, the tax cuts, regulation cuts, and work could not get done, ronald reagan could not get it done, bush, nobody could get it done. maria: they were against you, that is my point where is john durham mr. president. we know there was criminality president trump: i hope the doing a great job and i know they will not be politically correct, the fact is this was president obama that knew everything, vice president bid biden, as dumb as he may be he knew everything, and everybody else knew everything and you know it and cold me and brennan and clapper, they were all terrible and they lied to congress and they put flynn in jail and he did not lie because the fbi said he did not lie and we just found that out, it was only mueller who said he lied

and they said he did not lie, they're trying to destroy that man's life and other people that got in trouble they did nothing by comparison and in many cases nothing or in comparison, they spied on my campaign which is treason, they spied both before and after i won, using the intelligence apparatus of the united states to take down a president, and legally elected president, duly elected president of the united states, is the single biggest political crime in the history of our country and i hope they're doing their job, i hope they will not be politically correct and say let's get the lower guys that forged the documents going into fisa, let's get the lower guys, i hope, build bark and go down as the greatest attorney general in the history of our country or

just an average guy, depends on what's going to happen. maria: do you want to see a special counsel put in place to ensure the american people find out what took place, we know there was an fbi agent who changed the document and changed evidence, we know there was lying to the court and the congress, leaking to the media, if you do not win in november we will not hear another word about this, should ag bar in special counsel to ensure. president trump: they will probably cancel it out almost definitely and it is a shame, but we caught them, carter page just used him despite on the campaign and others they used to spy on the campaign, it's a disgrace. it can either be unbelievable, they don't need a special counsel, first of all they have a special counsel working and they have durham working so they don't need another counsel, and frankly everybody knows if you

didn't have one bit of evidence from what you are you know from reading the newspapers, they are all guilty as hell. maria: more of my exclusive inininin hike!

maria: welcome back, the final part of my exclusive interview with president trump, he tells me why the mueller probe was the greatest witch-hunt and political history pre-take a listen. because they were only interested in anything having to do with trump even though they knew all of the stuff, their text message were all deleted by mueller, he went in himself and he lied to congress because he said he did not apply for a job

to head the fbi and he did, we have absolute proof of that, he came in looking to run the fbi early on but the following day he was given the fbi as the prosecutor, it's not a counsel, insist prosecutor, i want to be more accurate, with all of that that they did, they spent $48 million plus, you don't even know what they spent, look to everything, my taxes i'm sure, and i'm everything, with all of that, no collusion, i have a friend who is a this is hundred, you know him very well, have to be the most honest person in the world to escape the greatest witch-hunt ever perpetrated in the history of our country to go over every document, phone call, everything you've ever done and they say no collusion, i did nothing wrong, they said i never knew you were that honest, you

must be the most honest man in the world and they take it down and they send it to new york, we cannot find anything, let's send it into new york into the democrat lion's den, so they play games for years, it's a disgrace, what's going on in this country, we have got to stop it, we are getting close. it's a disgrace. maria: we know the fbi lied to the senate in february 2018, christopher wray was running the fbi mr. president, it's christopher wray hiding all the stuff and protecting the fbi, should he step down? president trump: christopher wray was put there, we have an election coming up, i wish he was more forthcoming, he certainly has not been, there were documents they want to get and we have the fed that we want to get, we will find out if he's going to get those documents but he's been very, very protective, he was put there for good reason

and chosen by a certain person and i said go ahead, put whoever you want, i am so honest that you can put anybody want, let's see how ray turns out, he will turn out one way or another but i'll tell you bill barr and durham have a chance, bill barr has a chance to be the greatest of all time but if you want to be politically correct he will just be another guy because he knows all the answers, he knows what they have, it goes right to obama and write to biden, they have the meetings, that was one meeting, they had many meetings. maria: we have it all on a timeline, i know were going to be wrapping up soon but i want to get your take on these debates, there is a movement in the media trying to get joe biden to not debate you and then

you announced yesterday the initiatives to help get kids back to school and if it does touch on these two topics, are you planning, are we going to have a debate, you end up biden. president trump: we should have one debate moving forward, have an extra one, three debates or make it for but we should have one before the ballots start going out, the phony ballots, they go out and we should have a debate before the ballots, we have a debate a month after the ballots, people are voting without seeing the debate, i think they should move on forward or have an extra but i want to do the debates and they are trying to get out of the debates, there is no question at that i have people that are very good at this stuff and so am i. maria: look you have debated pretty aggressively in the past and you announced yesterday initiatives to help kid get kids

back in the classrooms. 125 million reusable masks. president trump: i want to get the schools open, they should be open, the children if you look statistically, it's incredible how strong they are, their immune systems are incredible, we have to get our schools open in our country open and a lot of the reason it is not happening because blue state governors if you take a look at the democrat governors, they don't want their state open because they think that hurts me on november 3 and i think people are wise to it. maria: my thanks to president trump for this hour of an interview. don't go anywhere, more wall street right after this.
