well, i will get reaction from former president donald trump to biden's tax-and-spend proposals, his efforts to rollback transporter policies and a lot more coming up. plus i've traveled to mcallen texas as we can to get a firsthand look at the crisis of the border where an extraordinary amount of people, drugs are being smuggled into the country every day, later on on the program i'll take you on a vote ride along the rio grande with ken paxton. take a look at where markets ended this week after a big jump in first-quarter gdp it was growth of 6.5%, president biden is optimistic that that will continue to decline. >> international monetary funds is now estimating to the broader rate of 6% this year. that will be the fastest pace of economic growth in this country in nearly four decades. america is moving, moving

forward. but we can't stop now. were in competition with china andd other countries to win the 21st century. maria: joining me the chairman and the ceo of the people's corporation don peebles, thank you very much for joining us are biden spending and tax proposals on individuals and businesses going to hamper growth, make us less competitive, what is your take on the spend and tax proposals we arere hearing abou. >> if we look at tax for example, the elimination of the preferred rate for long-term capital gain will have a devastating impact on long-term investment in real estate especially rental housing and investment in businesses and growth and of course in the long-term stock market, it'll have the opposite effect of moving the country forward, we've got to keep in mind the growth that were seen are the

states that have been on lockdown and beginning to open up and so were seen greater growth in that regard. i think these tax policies will have a devastating impact on the real estate industry overall and i don't think it's likely to get through congress, i think it ends up making states like california and new york very uncompetitive, were already struggling to compete with places like texas, ford, tennessee and it'll be more difficult under these circumstances with the increase in the federal taxes. maria: yet to look at the u.s. tax rates compared to the rest of the world, corporate rate is essential in terms of being competitive, the corporate rate that is competitive with the rest of the world is essential that what gets me is a capital gains tax increase, you're talking about cap gains going from 20% all the way to 43.4% for the highest earners because it's a double and you got at

added the 3.8% obamacare tax. that obviously is going to dictate behavior, are you going to sale your home this year where you don't get a 20% cap gain or next year we don't want to pay 43.4% to the government, tell me what happens if in fact that goes through. >> i think if that happens, first of all there will be ass massive selloff in the real estate market this year which y ultimately have the chilling effect on value and start movine value the other way. there will be a greater flight to places like florida, nevada, texas, tennessee where there's no state income tax, were talking about 150% increase in the basic premise why investors invest in longer-term real estate, they factor in the after-tax return onur investmen, a development for example versus

rental housing, investors look at how to protect dollars, it will take money out of the production of rental housing which are cities like newpr york and others around the country need more production of rental housing, has a devastating a negativehat in impact further digging a hole for new york city with regard to residential condo, more importantly office buildings as well. not a good thing, i hope, i don't think it gets through as is proposed, 115% tax increase on investment income would be devastating to all sectors of business. maria: tell me about office buildings, office buildings have already seen a huge upset because of the pandemic, employees don't want to go back to walking into a big building and having to go and work rather

than splitting their time working from home, will this exacerbate that, what your take on the office and office sector in terms of commercial real estate right now? >> you can see tax policy and political regulatory policy having an impact on theha real estate industry already. all you have to do is contrast new york city to florida, south florida, new york city is a record amount of vacancy in office space, a record amount of space being put on the market for office space, south florida is having a shortage of available office space, a shortage, the lowest numbers of availability in a very long time, all because of the migration down, the housing market in south florida is booming in all sectors off the market from the middle income all the way, that is happening because employers and

entrepreneurs are migrating south and with them they bring their employees as well and they're pursuing a quality of life. i think you're gonna see in places like new york, people don't want to go back to the office for a number of reasons, they have to invest of three hours to get to in from there. maria: for sure, things are really flourishing right now in places like florida as you see firsthand, it's great to see you this weekend, thank you so much for the insights, will see you very soon. don peebles joining us, greeting president biden's first 100 days from the economy to the border in the handling of covid-19, i'll get a reaction from former president donald trump next. ♪ but that's the important bit, innit? showing up, saying “hello! fancy a nice chat?” then we talk like two old friends about sticky buns and all the savings you could get by bundling your home and car insurance.

maria: welcome back president biden speaking for 60 minutes to a joint session of congress

making headlines to what he said and for what he didn't say i spoke with former president donald trump and asked him what he thought the biden speech. >> one thing, he did not discuss the border and the fact that tens of thousands of people are pouring into our country, many of them criminals, many from jails, many doing acts that you don't want to know about and are pouring into our country by the thousands by a level that's never been seen before, they're doing absolutely nothing, the wall is almost completed it would've been completed if i didn't get sued by congress and the democrats everything will moment and we beatt those cases, we built most of the wall almost 500 miles of wall and all we have to do is close up certain areas until we gained title et cetera et cetera and they don't want to finish it, i heard they will finish it but by the time

that they do that it could go very quickly in the contract is having a field dayld because they're supposed to finishse the wall in the get paid for finishing the wall. they have to do that and they have to do many other things. stay in mexico is a great thing, they don't come into this country, they stay in mexico, that was a big deal when we goth that legally, we wanted and they gave it up now everybody is pouring into our country, it's out of control and it could destroy our country if it keepsr going and the longer it goes the harder it is to stop, we've had the best border in history admitted by everybody and all they had to do is leave it, the border patrol is fantastic, the guys and women in the border patrol, they've done a fantastic job the i.c.e. agents, i've got to know so many, their phenomenal people, all they had to do is leave it alone, it was the best it ever was and now it's a disaster, what a shame it

will destroy our country. maria: but in fact, on day one president biden walked in on january 20 and 21st and he overturned most of your policies including remain in mexico, stopped construction on the wall, were here right now we've been here and will be here for the rest of the week at the southern border in mcallen texas and it's incredible what we've seen we will show more than of that, what was the process of you negotiating with the northern triangle countries to come up with remain in mexico to come up with the policies where you did in fact see a decline in the number of people coming here to the border in march alone now that the world understands the biden policy, there were 172,000 migrants at the border in one month alone, most people expected to get worse, what are you expecting as the weather e

gets warmer. >> it's going to get much worse, many more people are going to come up, there already be a need together when you look at these countries. i had a situation where i inherited a bad situation from president obama, it was a terrible terrible situation, the three countries plus mexico they were taken advantage very badly of the united states as you probably understand and know and i went to the three countries and i said you can't do this we were not allowed to bring back ms 13 gang members and criminals and we couldn't bring back criminals and after a while i said what kind of a deal is this and they come into the country and they won't take them back, they're sending a lot of people, these aren't just great people, hard-working people coming, these are criminals in many cases. you would not believe the percentage of drug dealers, rapists, human traffickers, we have murders by the way, we have

people coming into our country, they are coming in at a level that nobody's ever seen before and when i talk about the kind of people, i mean it 100%, i went to the countries and i said it's gotta stop and you gonna take back these people and they said no and i said that's okay and i said how much can we pay them, we pay them $500 million a year, that is a lot of money, split among three countries, i said were not making any more payments, theai following day i had a deal where they take back all of these criminals and we sent back ms 13ri another criminals by the thousands, they said we will take them back, we would be glad to take backak ms 13, as soon as i stop the money, instead of 500 million they hired as much as $4 billion, they're not going to know what to do with all that money, they never had money like that m givn to them, we've given them

$4 billion, the people running the country are going to have a field day like they've never had before, i was givingi them nothing, they took back we wanted, they were clogging up airports, making it impossible for buses to come in with these people and they took back, as soon as they stop the money, they called me and said what can we do lisa take back all of these criminals that are coming into our country from your country, they are your problem not our problem and they took them back, as soon as i stop now according to what i'm hearing biden wants to give them not 500 million but more money than they ever thought possible, why are we doing this now he's going to give them $400, this is crazy. maria: kamala harris said in interview they inherited this crisis and her answer is to send $310 million to the northern

triangle countries, many people yesterday told me that money will end up in the hands of the drug sars and the smugglers as well as politicians. i know you've had a lot of time to think about this and you see how they're blaming you, they do not attribute the successes that you had to your administration, how do you feel about that, what's your reaction to what were hearing in terms of their answer, the $310 million to the ,northern triangle countries. >> it is ridiculous, number one, the drug sars and others will get it and people running the country will take it and it won't go to where it's meant to go. maria: more with president trump and his thoughts of biden's proposed tax increases. that is next.

maria: welcome back more now for my interview with former utpresident trump, here's what e said about biden's tax and spending plan. >> it'll be the largest tax increase in the history of our country and when you say it won't affect middle-class middle-class has 401ks and when you look at the capital gains tax that will have a massive impact on the middle class, itnd also have a massive impact on companies leaving our country, they allha came back with me the companies were pouring back into our country, that's why we were doing and we produce more jobs than anybody in the history of our country, 160 million jobs, we were never close to that number, we produced more from the african-american, hispanic americans, asians, women, the highest number of jobs in history and then we did it

again, he wouldn't be doing it good if we didn't rebuild, our country was booming, we did a great job with covid and get no credit between the ventilators and the equipment and the masks and everything else, nobody had the stuff, we got it stocked up, we help the states, the governors of the states, instead we didn't incredible job, the fake news does not like saying that play into their narrative but we did a great job on that, not only the vaccine, thea vaccine is the most important thing of all but we did a fantastic job in getting things out. when you look at the biggest tax increase in history, that's going to drive all these companies and all of these jobs out of the united states, it's a disaster. maria: that's one thing we saw under the obama administration mr. president we had a 35% corporate rate, many american companies require companies in ireland when there was a 9%

corporate rate and then we saw them take their headquarters there, that's my question to you, what is my impact for example 43.4% capital gains tax, you sell your home and portfolio in your giving 43.4% to the government if you're in the highest earning bracket, the capital gains tax, the corporate tax and individual taxes were still not clear, president biden has not made clear whether it's 400,000 for families, 400,000 for individuals. this is a f very important poin, they certainly muddy it up and we don't know the answer everybody's taxes is going up. , what kind of an impact would you expect on the economy and the stock market? >> i got approved the largest tax decrease in the history of our country, bigger than ronald reagan decrease, this was the biggest was powerful tax

decrease, that is a very important word in the history of our country. they are now proposing the tothbiggest tax increase when yu talk capital granger talking about everybody you not talking just so-called wealthyou people. you're talking about everybody if they buy a stock no matter what they do, you're talking about everybody is going to be affected by that. but they're gonna be affected iy a more important way, companies will leave this country, many of them don't live here and many are from other countries and their loyalties to the shareholders and loyalties to the wallet, they will leave her so quickly if they can have another country and i brought taxes down to among the lower tax nations, not the lowest i couldn't get it down to that level, among the lower tax nations and the large industrial nation the lowest, they're gonna drive all of these companies

out. and you know this very well, billions and trillions of dollars were not coming back into o this country, because the taxes so high in the bureaucracy was so bad, the paperwork that trillions of dollars out of this country. that money was hundreds of billions pouring back intoon her country when i did the tax bill and got that approve, that was a tremendous thing, hundreds of billions of dollars, if you go by what they're doing, that money will never see the united states again, that is a tremendous number. maria: money is mobile, corporations can move, individuals can move if their money is treated best somewhere else, we recognize that, what ir want to get your take on where we are inwh this economy before

president biden came in, the economy was beginning to turn, were gonna see gdp in the u.s. in 2021 mr. president of up to 9%, why do we need all the spending, $6 trillion in spending and a month and a half and you've got an economy that may not need that, sure people are happy if you throw money at them but a at some point this comes home to roost in terms of our debt. where do you see our economy, does it take a hit at some point? >> the reason you see gdp is the foundation that we built. we built something that is incredible, what will happen with the tax increases in the border with all these people in, what will happen you will start to seell negative effects eventually. if you do tax increases, it

never happened so quickly but in the have a devastating impact ultimately down the road, that's what's going to happen and with all the spending a lot of the gdp in the stimulus that there pouringnt into, it is sort of fe when you look at it like the fake media, it is fake, it is showing something that the economy is doing better than it is, they're not real numbers, also energy, energy independent, were not to be energy independent, for the first time we were energy independent gasoline prices, look what's happening there going up through the roof in a short p period of time, i had it down below $2 and we still had a b strong industr, another lane everybody off, why did they lay them off, look at the pipeline the head of the union should be fired, i was building the pipeline, i overrode the veto of the previous administration so i

building the keystone pipeline, the dakota access pipeline, rebuilding all of that stuff, now they want to stop other pipelines that are already built in all of these workers are out of business, the pipeline workers are out of business and their unions have always supported democrats. so they supported biden. those union heads should be fired by all those people who don't have a job because if i were president right now they would all be working like crazy which environmentally are much better than trains but of course warren buffett owns trains and he's a big democrat, maybe that has something to do with it. because stopping the keystone pipeline has nothing, it does nothing good for this country, the real number is 49000 people. they like to say 8000, is 49000 people ultimately, for them to

stop that, think of it, these people i believe most voted for me but the heads of the union were in favor for bryden, those union heads for the keystone pipeline, those pipeline workers should fire and anybody related to them should fire the heads of the union because in my opinion they must t be corrupt because nobody can be so stupid. maria: i always question why anybody thinks it's safer to carry oil and gas honor railcar versus a pipe underer sc. i think you're making a good point about the railcars, it seems like that could be potentially seeing more mistakes in terms of carrying allll of te oil a on railcars versus under e sea. i think it's a good point that you made. >> a pipeline is acknowledged to

be much safer than railcars or trucks, much, much safer. it's environmentally much better. maria: more with president trump but first taken on the biden administration border policy, ken paxton with the very latest on his efforts to combat the surge and the tour of the rio grande. >> this is a level three bullet proof vest and a level four and if there is someone in trouble and i need to help, i could put them on me and we could both flow. were about to get on the butt with ag paxton and we will tour the rio grande. you've got the looks♪ ♪let's make lots of money♪ ♪you've got the brawn♪ ♪i've got the brains♪ ♪let's make lots of♪ ♪uh uh uh♪ ♪oohhh there's a lot of opportunities♪ with allstate, drivers who switched saved over $700. saving is easy when you're in good hands.

maria: welcome back from edinburg texas along the southern border were getting a firsthand look of the crisis at the border as a surge of migrants and drones coming into

her country grows larger, i took a vote ride with the rio grande texas attorney general ken paxton, it was quite an eye-opener. watch. were about to get in the vote with ag paxton and we will be touring the rio grande. right here is mexico, that park, this park in mexico is controlled by the drug cartels. if you want to get into that park, you have to pay the smugglers and the drug cartels, you cannot get into the park, they're all watching us right now. they know the agents are here, were patrolling the waters, as soon were gone, they will radio in and say coast is clear, more smugglers will come in. is it effective or do the drug cartels not care. what we sing, talk to us about where we saw that fence. >> that the first time i've seen is the land owner that bought the 3-mile fence to protect his

property because he was tired of people come into his property and destroying his property and stealing his vehicles in the partial wall that trump was able to complete before he left office. maria: we have bulletproof vest on, machine guns, this is sending a message. >> the cartel controls this area and even more so now than before trump left office, the biden administration has empowered them by really sacrificing a lot of our people of other tasks, they have much more free range thanks to what the biden administration policies have done. maria: the cartels are making so much money on all of this, you have to pay to get into a park. >> you sell the park, they control the park, in order to get to the park you get to the u.s. and you have to pay and i've been told by agents that is a minimum per person of $4000, the cartel gets 4000 at a minimum to every person they bring across the border, thousands of people, that does

not include the drug trafficking, the human trafficking that they do that they have greater access because the border patrol agents are busy taking care of the families coming across. maria: the vote tour is so effective because you can see how close is is, mexico to texas. if they're gonna dump a baby in the river, you guys are going to rescue the baby and then they just get it crossed. >> they will throw kids under the vote and our people go rescue them and they bring the rest of the people in safely to cross the border. maria: if you see this, you get it, bethea administration has not come down to see this. >> i don't think they want to draw attention to it because they realize they created this problem, they have discarded and the policies that obama plays that clearly did not work, they've adopted policies but they don't want to highlight to the american people. maria: what an incredible situation that we are witnessing on the ground. what you have to say in terms of where we are right now, let's

start there. >> it's a disaster i spent a lot of time talking to shares the have to deal with this and border patrol and customs and immigration and state police, it's a disaster and when you see these facilities and kids that are sitting there wondering what's going to happen, where are they going, they're all confined together with possibly spreading covid, it is a disaster. maria: we've been to a lot of these facilities, you tried to visit the donna facility where many people including senator ted cruz and other senators have told us that the capacity because of covid is 250 people there's more than 4000 people in the facility, what happened when you went there. >> we were turned down. maria: you're the attorney general, you were turned down. >> they do not want me too see the donna facility, that is straight from officials in washington because of covid i shouldn't be allowed into the facility. maria: that's incredible, here is the vice president said one answer would be to send

$310 million to the northern triangle countries. what do you think about the answer, send the money to encourage them not to come. >> i would rather send that to the border here and help people here then oppose of sending it there, it'll be lost to politicians and drug cartels, that is a loss of money an opportunity to help people in texas. maria: the department of homeland security say it will launch a new operation to combat trafficking and smuggling at the border. this will be led by custom and border protection according to dhs protection allie hand german orchids. >> that doesn't make sense either, they are still occupied by dealing with immigrants coming in here they cannot do that job. they have a high percentage of the people working at these facilities doing logistics and transportation so they're not on the border, the cartels no that it is open for business, if anybody's making a lot of money into cartels, they are charging these people $4000 per person to come appear in their making

money on drugs and smuggling in the border is so porous, it is open for them in large sums of money. one of my sources said no wonder kamala harris doesn't want to come down here, the mainstream media followed her everywhere she goes, if she comes here the mainstream media will come here and they'll be forced to show it on their nightly broadcast. >> they don't want the president or vice president because they don't want the american people, they don't want you to know what's going on at the border, they don't want you talking to local law enforcement, sheriffs, whoever, they don't want the story out so they will not draw attention to it, they don't want reporters, they don't want state officials because they don't want us to know what's going on. maria: my thanks to texas attorney general ken paxton. coming up face-to-face with a group of migrant women who had just crossed into the country, we will bring it to you and more of my exclusive coverage from the border. later from former president donald trump.

in a system of getting the shots out to people like nobody has ever seen, it was a military operation, the generals did a phenomenal job, then they took it over it kept going, very simply and kept going. and that they blew it would johnson & johnson, they should've never done a pause would johnson & johnson, that was done for political reasons or they like pfizer so much, what they did with johnson & johnson was horrible, they want everybody to get a vaccine and then they do a pause which has so much publicity and has not recovered what they did was just terrible, the vaccine saved millions and millions of people throughout the world, we have the best vaccines, nobody even says they have better than what we have, we have the best in the world, everybody is trying to get them, that was all done by trump. maria: what should've been done in terms of johnson & johnson vaccine rather than taking a

pause, obviously is back on the market the fda making that decision last friday, what would you prefer to see given the blood clotting issues? >> at the time it came up there were 8 million shots and six cases which as they say far less then women's birth control pills then tylenol and almost anything, it was very minuscule, that would've put a warning on or something on that particular vaccine but i certainly would not of positive and gotten front page news all over the world and then people don't want and probably even affect the others. there's a big situation with a lot of people don't want to take the vaccine. this played right into the hands and they want me too do public service messages and everything about everybody taking the vaccine, i guess in a certain way and the father of the vaccine and less than nine

months, it was a miracle, dr. fauci said it would take 3 s something that would not be that effective because it would take so long to get. i pushed the fda like they have never been pushed before, i would it exactly say they're in love with me, this is a very bureaucratic organization, i pushed them like they've never been pushed before and that's why we have it. when they did the pause on johnson & johnson, that was a very stupid thing to do. maria: we heard from the cdc saying if you're fully vaccinated you can be indoors without a mask, you can take the mask off and the shot of president biden behind him, kamala harris, vice president nancy pelosi speaker of the house both wearing masks. what is going on, are we not getting the truth and clarity in terms of what we should be doing, the place was not even half full and they're all

wearing masks. >> it looks like he was choking last night when he was speaking. he ought to get some air, literally nancy's mask was the biggest mask i've ever seen. maria: is their strategy? >> i'm not sure if they know there's a strategy but they love the masks and everybody in the room had the vaccine and everybody was in good shape, they could've done it much differently and for joe biden to walk outside announcing of the have to wear masks outside, people knew that for a long time buddy walked outside to say you don't need masks outside, he is outside doing it and he walks out in a mask. look, this country has gotta get their schools back, it's gotta get the cities open, in all cases democrat, when you look at

florida, texas and various other places, they had a much relaxed policy and yet they had far fewer deaths relatively speaking, farmer economic success, new york has been so badly hurt, it's gonna take a long time to recover. california was so badly hurt, these places some of the places has never been any place that was tougher than michigan and michigan had an outbreak, the likes of which you haven't seen since the very beginning. , it is very sad when you look on television last night, they could've had fewer people in the room and then a packed room that i had, i understand that but to have a room that was so sparse and everybody wearing masks and they all got the shots, but they all have masks, it doesn't show very much confidence they want

to build confidence in the vaccine because not everybody wants to take it because they have their freedoms and they don't want to take it, they want to show confidence in the vaccine and then you see something like you saw last night, a room loaded up with masks, the people look like they were choking on their masks, i've never seen anything like it. maria: are you thinking about running again in 2024? >> 100%, the pull show it and everybody wants me too do it, 100% i'm thinking about running and we will be very successful. maria: mr. president this is been a terrific interview, it's great to catch up with you again, i am here at the border, fox news is only major network that have people on the border and we have a lot of them, we will continue doing that. >> you do have great courage and i appreciate it and you really do, you're very outstanding and we appreciate it, everybody does. maria: my thanks to former maria: my thanks to former president trump, don't go
