time. don't know what happened there. we're glad you joined us for it. will be back tomorrow night and every weekday, 8:00 p.m. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying of pomposity, smugness and groupthink. have a great night with thehi ones you love. we'll see you tomorrow and welcome to hannity. and tonight we begin with a fox news alert. the 44th president of the united states, donald trump. he'll join us live in just a moment for an exclusive interview. the president will weighgh in obviously on the economy, on inflation, energy, open borders, ukraine, china, so much more . but first, big news from the president's hometown of new york city while his former hometown where a man namedne frank james has been apprehended after now allegedly rounds into30 a crowded subway in brooklyn,

new york , shooting 10 commuters. now tonight , the perpetrators twisted motives and ideologyat are coming into focus. a and what are a series off deranged videos filled with violent rhetoric posted on youtube while james wasli railing against white people,an asian americans, jewish americans, hispanic americans and the united states of america, evenan trash joe biden supreme court nominee judge jackson because she quote married a white man. james also filmed himself on the streets of new york screaming racial, racial y slurs at asians and hispanics as they walk by tellings him they shouldn't exist. and according to social media,aa he wascc also a big supporter of screwy louis farrakhan. louis farrakhan of the nation of islam. naturally, this story will be swept under the rug by the media mob guest frank james probably won't fit their political narrative. in fact, one disappointed former political dnc host tweete the suspect is

a male blackla. we just get how about we just t get the bad guy and we protect the good guys? all peoplee, al anyway. coming up, we'll get president trump's reaction to this attack.is the deteriorating conditions in america's major cities. law and order, safety, securityi can't pursue happiness without it. firstness, more bad news from biden's disastrous economy thought itdi was bad yesterday.n well, we can nowew report brand new numbers out today. wholesale prices have surged by a whoppingge eleven point two percent in march. this is the highest increasere year over year ever in history. when donald trump left office, it was one point six percent. and make no mistake, these costs, wholesale prices that will be passed on to you, the consumer wholesale priceas increases are paid by they people like us that buy retail . look at your screen.olesal wholesale prices have been rising during the entiree bideny

presidency month after month, worse and worse. f not vladimir putin's fault, just like inflation, like weon showed last night also has beeno on a steep incline ever since the day that joe biden was sworn in . just like gase th pricese da ase see right there, which is why they were rising waybe beforeut vladimir putin invaded ukraine . this is anse excuse. th these are three big liesre told by joe biden and of course his minions in the media mob. keep in mind when donald trump left office an average gallon of gasoline at the pump was two dollars and forty two cents in inflation was only one point four percent, not eight point five . and clearly biden's green new deal climate alarmists socialista agenda is an unmitigated disaster. you don't have to graduate fromv harvard or mit to figure that out. now he restricted domestic oil and gas production.he k he killed the keystone xl pipelineilled. by the way, the premier in alberta made the statement that had not stopped

production. it would be by finished by now and we would be importing nine hundred thousand barrels ofl, oil, canadian oil every single day we could get back toet building it and get that oil and even help out our friends in western europe anyway. he spent trillions of dollars n on handouts. the economy is now suffering in every way imaginable and about to get worse. butse today, as we predicted right here on this show monday, we told you on monday that theue numbers are coming out tuesday and wednesday we told you that jen psaki, joe biden and company would be full of excuses, starting to blame vladimir. take a look to the president acknowledged any responsible for the inflation that we're seeing now basedec on the decisions that he's made when he came into office. the i would say the president has talked about quite a bit. there are b a range of factors including the pandemic, the impact on the supply chains and our effort and what we'veo tried to do from the beginning is take stepseg to address that.

given energyha is such a significant driver of this data, an increase in energy prices over the last month plus since the invasion of ukraine, that's factual. based on data that we have seen out there. so has our effort and our focuss been to try to address it and take mitigation measures when we can. all right. and soccer. you can see there, by the way, what should be great on msnbcc because they never tell the truth anyway.e's no she's not fooling anybody. lookt foolin, this quinnipiac pt today, a plurality of americans biden is the most responsible for the spike in gas pricesig and of course the record high inflation nowh more new numbers today from quinnipiac. it found that their pollingounds showing joe biden's approval rating at its lowest point evers . 33%, only 26% of independents approve of joe biden today. t pe five different polls have biden underwater by double digits. ae americans are not happy. biden's religiouspy.

climate alarmist policies have been a a nightmare. oing to but instead of going to the simple answer changingg course admitting failure, the biden administration just doublesilur down on what's not working.g. and today biden treasury secretaryy vowed to redouble our efforts to decarbonize our economy. g, w no, we should be drilling. we should be fracking and we should be extracting coal t that is the lifeblood of the world's economy. but why gohe for the obvious? take a look at the recent ipcc reports confirm that our window of opportunity to leave our planet worthy of our children and our grandchildren is even closer to being permanently shutn. we must redouble our efforts too decarbonize our economies, recognizing that countries will use a range of tools including carbon pricing regulation and subsidies to achieve these emission reductions if

they decarbonize and then we more dependent on let's see russia, iran opac, venezuela not a good plan for national security reasonst . in other words, even less domestic production of the lifeblood of our economy which is oil, gas, et cetera and costs that will continue to rise every single week, every single month for every single american. what's the definition of insanityic? ame dumb isn't that doing the same dumb thing over and over again and expectingpect a different result?t because that's what they're doing. they don't care if you suffer. , i don't care if you have trouble paying your bills. they don't care if your life gets worse. they don't care about the high cost of a gallon of gasoline. ou they just lecture you a on driving less and getting electric cars and most people can't afford their religious climate alarmists. that's the only thing m that matters your sacrifice. butur a small price to pay it with reaction. author of what is n going to be a very important big book

defeatingak big governmentnm socialism saving america's futureen s. way, by the way, amazon.com will put it up on "hannity" .com as well . fox news contributor, former speaker of the house newt gingrich. you know that really ise what we're battling against here because new green deal is when you look at the actual policy is redistribution. >> it is socialism, is it not? all you have is a combination of big government socialism and a kind of woke really sort of secular religion. r and the problem that biden has is that he can't break looseea from it. i mean, you know, i know most p people in the country know there are wayseo to solve these problems that make life better for america l and to make ameria a stronger country all those solutions just drive the bigt government socialist and the left's crazy. and so biden sits there and does more of what doesn't

work and then tries o to blame putin for somebody the big corporations i mean there's always somebody else. e you know, i was struck the other day that the biden presidency might be called from the basement to the bicycle because if you watch him, he spends every weekend bicycling. clot he's not engaged. eng he's not helping the people of ukraine. he's certainly not solving our problems. he to be evenemlele aware of how bad the border is to our south. p the crime problem which croppedo up again in new york today in a very vivid, powerful wayowes doesn't seem to affectn' him. you have to wonder, i mean, w what kind of total cocoon are they living under that they don't realize this is we're drifting towards a disaster and the american people are going to fire look, even even uncovered they ran out of>> tess over christmas. how that happened, i don't know. that's almost an impossibility.

as weas entered year three, the border disaster, no the economy, i read the numbers a disaster, energy policies. it was two dollars and forty two cents a gallon. ald trump. donald trump i paid for seventy nine a gallon this weekend9 . inflation eight point five percent. donald trump left off one point. four whole whole prices highesth ever. wholesale prices eleven point two. donald trump left it at donald tru one point six . these are not small changes. every major us is now suggesting we are going to hit a recessionn and it's going toa be bad now the only way that i see that they can get out of this is go back to trump's policies and we know that's nott going to happen. >> right. and that's the whole>> problem.i everything which works, which is what ronald reagan dids, what we did with the contractac with america, what president trump did. all those things are obvious and we know they work. but if you are in the secular religion of the left and you

get together with your friends and you think that figuring out which pronoun to use isan more important thant solving crime or you figure out that brainwashing third graders about transgender behavior is more important in controlling the border. tha i mean, just go down the list. i think by any reasonable historic standards these people are crazy.i don't i don't think they can change . cause i think they're crazy and i think that if biden tried to change, they erupt overnight and you would have an extra ordinary civil war i the democratic party . what do you make of quinnipi it's not a right wing or conservative, paul. y have joe by any measure, they have joe'ss approval rating at 33%. they have his approval with independents at 26%. . recent polls have showed a dramatic demographic shift of african-americans and hispanic americans towards the republican a party .

then you've got the bad economy that's impacting everybody, the disastrous afghanistan withdrawal and frankly a lack of urgency from my perspective as it relates to ukraine and providing them the munitions to beat back vladimir putin's forcesvi b without one american boots on the ground. >> well, let me let me start by pointing out that when hillary clinton offered advice and recently her husband lost fifty three seats and forst the first time in 40 years the republicans controlled the house. that was their first term. t whenwe barack obama last week offered his advice, he, he lost sixty three seats and lost control3 of the house. so having them offer advice on the election i thought wasy terrific and i hope that they take their advice because it will be a total disastera to. but the quinnipiac poll is pretty obvious. you i filled up my my truck the other dayay and is about eighty five dollars close to

fill up her car. a i have a hybrid so mine's slightly cheaper and she paid p i think ninety one dollarsai to fill up her car. you go to the grocery store and the prices have all gone up. one of the folks i work has said they're not even going to try to buy steak in the nearke future because i absurdly too expensive. we're having a disaster with chickens in the midwest a where we have an avian flu that's leading to the killings. literally millions of chickens. wheat is going to go up dramatically because ukraine and russia were huge wheato exporters. so when you look around, if you're a normal everyday person and you don't understand, you're supposed to believe whatever brainwashing the new york times the washington post put out this morning. you go in in your life and you're seeing real problems put in making ends meet and youb start hearing about a recession ,a recession in thison economy coming right after covid will be extraordinarily painful and as one persondi is going to

blame for it now that's joe biden they're not going to go out theree and scratch their head and think, gee,on i wonder how this happened and they're not going tooot believe that putin did it.at pud i think they'll blame the whole . k,cratic party which brings us to your book defeating big government socialism out in just a couple if weeks. i mean, that really captures the moment that we're in because that's the ideologicalat battle that we're now going through as a country, isn't it?ough a >>s sure. k >> and i think president trump's election set fire bells off among everybody on the hard left because he was a real change agent. he was moving us back towards yoe america that works. . you were pointing outu wer the numbers a while ago. they're astounding the things he achieved in four yearstsli despite the elite media, despite the fbi, despite the whole bureaucracy fighting them, he nonetheless achieved amazingac things and the country was in pretty good shape just before covid hit. in and i think if trump were stille in charge, a country be back in

very good shape right now so we know how to solve thesehe problems. and i think what i try to point out in defeating big governmentt socialism, this is a moment nott just to talk abouto the incompetence of a handful of leaders. this iss a moment to recognize that the very core values they believe in do not work, that this is a valueshi and philosophys problem and that those folks have got to be defeated decisively and get america back on the right track creating jobs, stable money, controlling the border, controlling criminals, you know, doing something bold like favoringso the innocent victim over the criminal. i mean, that seems like common sense unless of course you're on the left and you have some really weird idea about how the world works. okay, well said. they could probably use a lesson or maybe take a page 1994. i was there that night when you did become speaker.and it may i was the emcee and it may be

time for putting the signaturere to paperth and promise what you will do if given the opportunity to serve the american people. rward to mr speaker, we look forward to having the first interview with the bookhe being back here thank you for being with us. now a reminder of presidentt. trump will join us in just a moment. but first we turn to yet another preventable crisis made worse by the biden administration as we speak,de the southern border continues continues to spiral out of control. only get it will only get worse whenn the biden administration now lists what we'vethtrat talking t title forty two , which wouldwh make it harder forr fo the fedel government to deport illegal immigrants to get a true sense of the crisis. look at take a look at this very powerful exchange from congressmanrful roy of texas o and jerry nadler of new york .f >> take a look. my colleague from texas, markoc the focus by some of my colleagues on the need to have fortitude as if it's not causing rampant flow across our

border. little girls put in stash houses getting, cartels making hundred million dollars and then the chairman scoffsse the chairman scoffs as the chairmanma then in the last yeah to the border of texas and metnt with border patrol agentss,, goe down and talked to the people that are sitting there looking at what's actually happening in denaturalizest you'll briefly. yes. and what if you find no stash houses? the chairman scoff, the chairman saying there are no stash houses, no little girls getting in texas. in tex wow. anyway, governor greg abbottki making good on his promise earlier in the week to send illegal immigrants to washington, d.c.ts the first bu, as you can see right there, arrived in capitol hill early today.y. >> jen psaki couldn'tt care less. take a listen tojetaisten to tht batch of migrants arrived in d.c. today. texas texas governor greg abbott making good on his promise to send migrants to the president's doorstep.

previously called ita a publicity stunt. but still the view of the white . how can you give us any reaction to flood of migrants right here in the states? well, these are all migrants who've been processed by cbpre and are free to travel. so it's nice the state of texas is helping themas get to their final destination as they await in their outcome ofof their immigration proceedings. >> and tonight, governor ronda santos of floridao is warning illegal immigrants do not go to the state of florida, telling them that life will not be easy for them in the sunshine state . he promised to send illegal immigrants to delaware. it was t delaware. more florida senator marco rubio. senator , they're not only joe biden's policies and not only aiding and abetting the lawbreaking, enforcing b the law, but they're alsoo involved in human trafficking because they're literally transporting illegal immigrants intoitng i every state aroundd the country and then just leaving them there and then it t becomes the responsibility of the state to provide food, waterrpr, shelter, medical treatment, health careea and educationlt.

and most states can't afford it, senator . that's right. look, i think that what's happening here that's a tip of the iceberg power stuff that you're seeing now is the tip of the iceberg. as an example in florida, you know, there's this pelosi puppet, this congresswoman val demings that chuck schumer handpicked c to run against met and she's in favor of open completely open borders of allowing illegal immigrants toen vote if not deporting people, even ey their gang members. she's raised 30 something million dollars for her campaign as a result of these stances. this is i think the speaker gingrich is on just a moment ago and he talked about how about this is about values a is about principles and they're wacky. these are radical ideas . and what you're seeingt the images you're seeing are just the tip of the iceberg of what the kind of agenda these people want to follow. no country in the world would allow the lawlessness that we have with our immigration system. none. >> you know, we just talkedwi with newt gingrich about the border disaster, the afghan war with afghanistan withdrawal disaster, the lack of urgency in ukraine, the economy, 40 year high inflation,

wholesale prices, a new record 40 year record of inflation energy now double what it was under donald trump whenhe joe biden inherited energy independence crime outd of control by defunde dismantle the police and joe biden even ran out of covert tests aroundrd christmas going into the third i don't know how you can do any worse than i don't know how you can do any worse than that . you really can. >> if you look at and i think if you look at every major issue in front of this country, everything is when than it wasas joe biden took over . everything is worse than it was. and frankly,y,t that's why i ned people's help. i'm asking them to go to marco rubio .com because i'm being tm outraged because this movement from the left, they know they can't win the electiond -- issues. what they're trying to do is raise tens of millions of dollars toio destroy people, lie to them, obviously don't have a lot of help from the mainstream media. fight bak so i need people's help to fight back against this because they don't't want to hear that story. they don't want people hearing the reality that on every issuei immigration, the economy, ouron

national security, our standing in the world, we are substantially worse off today than we were in january of last year when joe biden took over on everything your election is is critical. th this isis a bellwether election year because it's florida for the senate. i'm talking about specificallyen it's georgia. it's north and south carolina. it's new hampshire. it's pennsylvania. it's missouri.it ohio. it is wisconsin. it is nevada. it is arizona. it doesn't get any more bellwether and it's alaska. hopefully kelly tshibaka can win upfully c there. >> it doesn't get any more bellwether. senator , your election is critical one i think florida has a special place in their heart. it's been the place that's embarrassed them because of the state policies of governor desantis or state legislaturer and so i think has a special place in their heart.wa they really, really, really want to win these races in florida. look, i'm just asking everyone to voteg on marco g rubio becaue i need your help.wether but you're right, it's a bellwether state and i think because florida has embarrassed the federal government has embarrassed the performance of

blue states and blue cities acrossnd this country. they're desperate to win some races here in florida and they're in a lot of money into it.. all right, senator marco rubio, thank you as always. for being with us. we'll be checking in often throughout the campaign. joining us live in on the phones the 42nd president of the united states, donald j. trump is with us. mr. president, great to haveu you back . how are you, sir? are you? >> i am i'm very good. thank you , john. yesterday inflation rose to its highest number in 80 i'm sorry, forty one years, eight point five percent when you left office, it was one point four lrcent. today we learned wholesale prices areeaea the highest theya ever been at eleven point twot percent when you leftwhen offict was one point six percent. the price of. an average gallon of gasoline when you left office was two dollars and forty two cents and now well, i paid this weekend four and seventy nine cents a gallon to fill up my own tank. pens,

what happened, mr. president, in a little over a year? >> well, i think a lot has to do with the factt that the energy you talk about the barrel price or the price per gallon for cars, it's so much we actually had it down to about a dollar eighty seven a gallon and now it you know, you may have gotten for it but you made a great deal because it's five , six and even seven dollars in some places i negotiated i followed p your lead. i know you guys here take a look contract. so i think that i mean i just think that the energy isy such a big factor and driving everything else up and we are stopping production, closing up wells and we're going to t venezuela and we're asking them where we're going to a dictator that everybody is supposed to a despise and we're asking them for oil and we havesk i call itd we have liquid gold right under our feet. u john. we're going to other countries. we're getting it from

indirectly. we're getting it fromdi russia because it is indirect but it's still coming out of russia at numbers that nobody's ever gotten before. by the way, we have to create a tremendous amount of oil and gasam and let it be clean and the environment. my last year was record setting clean water and er if you look at the er with record setting you look at the water was record settingng and yet we weren't stopping businesses from functioning a. mr president, i asked you about this the last time you were on but it's more relevant even today and that is you joe biden inherited an america that was energy independent, he inherited america that wasmep net exporter of energy. as i said when you left the average price of gas around the country, including all the taxes was two and forty two cents a gallon. w we're now setting record high after record high in terms of

a gallon of gasoline and you made a good point here. he put all these policies in place, kill the keystone xl pipeline. k the alberta premier said we'd beeystone xl literally nine hund thousand barrels of canadian oil by nowadia would be flowing into our country every day, which would beld a good deal for america at this point.n't need we wouldn't need to import oil as joeoe did last year from russia and iran. get intoi want what the solution to is. they won't even consider going back to and adopting your successful policies. and i want to hone in on this .e let's start with iran alone, this deal with iran that would give them tens of billions ofdo dollars. reporter ali, take the iranian revolutionary guard off the no fly list, reportedly allow vladimir putin, who's negotiating the deal to build a nuclear facility for the iranians. this is madness and that we'd import oil from the iranians now would you ever make that deal with the iranian

government, the mullahs, the chanten death to america? so i ended a terrible deal ,r but it was better than the one that they're looking to do now. the iran deal . they're looking to do a deal even worse if that's possible. you know, the one thing you didn't say is israel is in tremendous peril, tremendous danger because it's a very quick roadmap for them to have a nuclear weapon and a lot of nuclear weapons. it and i can't imagine that it's going to be allowed tod happen. what they're doing in congress allow th biden is doing. i can't imagine that they would allow this to happen just this could very well be the end of israel. a lot of people s are saying that to or less perhaps something happens where israel is going to have to takeeto up the fight. s a terrible but it is a terrible situation. and you know, if you look i told china you can buy from you can't buy any oil. we make a deal. we had we won this election, which weti had we been put in place or left in place, we would have

had absolutely. first of all, we wouldn't have, had the ukraine situation with russia, but we also wouldn't have china buying massive, massive numbers, record setting numbers ofm barrels of oil from iran, which is making iran very, very rich. i told china if you're going to buy from them, we're not doing business with china. so the gravy train 508 billion dollars a year, the gravy train would end. $8 billio and the other thingn. i didna in terms of china is between taxes and tariffs. we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from china. f chi that's neverna happened before.a they never paid any president 10%. since are we areev on the wrong side of everything we have inflation wouldn't have happened. we havee ukraine wouldn't have happened. you'll probably have taiwan. that would never have happened. noned' of this stuff would have happened. and some of it has to do with energy even a war, the barrel of oil, you know, it's money, money, money to win wars you have to you need money, money and money and oil

. it's just very simple. the numbers are the highest they are in history.to so putinry , whether he sells it directly or indirectly, is selling for more money that he's ever sold before. they're taking in massivesi amountsve of money in russia despite the disaster that's going on in ukraine. a and it's a very, very sad it's a horrible thing to watch horrible. k soat even if you really look at it, even the energy is involved with the ukraine situation because the amounts of money being made are so enormous and we could be doing a that in our country with , as i said, haveiquid gold that we more of than anybody. >> you know, it's interesting when you were last on this program, you told the story well, first i showed the video of you basically excoriating the, the head of nato n and saying how stupid natoat is being when when nato was w literally whereas spending

more per war dollars more per gdp percentage than all these nato allied countries. we're protecting them from russia, germany and all these other countriesesny are making russia and putin rich again by doing these billion dollar deals, which you said was the eventual backfire on them. r you are very strong in your statement you handed angela merkel the white flag of surrender and she said what's this for? you can pick it up from there. . well, i told angela that youd can't make a deal with russia where you're going t to get in i my opinion,n 78 to 80% of your energy. she said it was 40 but it wasn't 40 . it was close to 80% of f their energy from russiaro. and all you have too do is look at history, take a look at world war one and world war twot and now you take a look at what's going on right now. i did i sent her the white flag of surrender because she said what ? but what does this mean? i said it means that russia has

knew exactly where they wanted you for for a century and that's where they've got you and you're making a terrible mistake. the other thing i did is i ended the pipeline going into germany, going into europe. i ended the nord stream two, which was the russian pipeline going into all of europe but going into specifically and mostly germany. and i ended it and biden camed along and almost from the first day he approved it but he ended the keystone pipeline, which isn our pipeline. so figure that one out. let you put up just just to put to bed what i call p the big li. and the big lie is every month as we get new numbers on consumer price index yearr over year inflation again you left inflation was at i i what , one point four percent. wholesale prices one point six a gallon of gas two point four to now. you left at one point for

one point four percent with inflation. the consumer price index right now it's eight point five and that dotted line is when joe biden took office. and you see how quickly itt rose. if you r look at the gas price surge under president biden, you see that first dotted line o is when biden takes office and you see the steady increase . you a left it at two forty two a gallon and by the time you know it's up like a buck fifty a gallon by the time putin ever t invaded ukraine.he but they try to blame putin and ukraine and we'll put the gas prices up thereup as well. and then today's number inflation of wholesale prices. you know, again, you'reti at one point six percent today it's eleven point two percent. mr. president, the bloombergrg came out with an estimate that the average american household is going to pay five thousand two hundred dollars a year in biden's

inflation tax.s infla the poor and the middle classti in this country, mr. p presiden, or as you call them, the forgotten men and women. they cannot afford that type of money. they'ret not going to be able to survive if this continues, if you're president, what would you do so what you're saying is all sounds very easy and sounds very simple. not actually that simple, butly i will tell you this is like l the biggest tax increase in history if you look at what inflation is doing and i saw a number today that wages didn't go up but they're nowhere near what'ss being taken out of families by pure inflation, just the cost of bread, the cost of gas, the cost of gasoline, the cost of everything. everything iss up and then supply chain, you go to stores ,they half empty many stores. they can't get product. they can't get anything. you go you go to luxury stores or nonluxury stores orrk supermarkets and the shelves

are in some case half barer. and nobody's ever seen it.dy we had we didn't even have to discuss supply chain duringmy my administration because it was it was a perfect moving machine. itrf moving was beautiful. we c we createdre the greatest econoy in the history of the world. we created an economy that was a better than any economy in history. then wee got hit with the china virus and after the china virus we did one of the best jobs in the world of doing everything, including your operation doi, warp speed and everything that entails. the therapeuticsnt, the vaccines ,everything wene did and thenry they messed it up with ay mandate and they absolutely were killing our country with the mandates which should have never happened. little brother, this is just so sad to hear because this was all a stealth conflict. it wound inflation to the loss of energy independence. it is so sad to watch and now

add to that what's going on in ukraine. that's a that's. raine. what what's happening in ukraine is people have never like that before . let me get to ukraine in a goute, but let mee back to the campaign because this is not happening by accidentot. joe biden said he would do exactly this as it relates toi energy.lay and i want to play for youthis m you're reminded, by the way,en the few moments he was actually out of his basemented and out of the media moby protection program and actually had to speakak a few words. watch what he's saying. this is this is all by design in his own words. >> we saw we're all dead, kiddo. i want you to just take a look, okay? you don't have to agree, but i want you to look at my eyes. i guarantee you i guarantee you we're going to end fossil fuel and i am not going to cooperate. would there be any place for fossil fuels including coal

and fracking in a biden b administrationid? no, we would we would work it out. we would we makewould sure it's eliminated. it's eliminated. i will end s all fossil fuels. look at my eyes. i promise you. so he's doing it on purpose. obviously this is by design and we see the result of these policies. so i don't see any hope he's going to change these policies and most economists now sayay this is going to turn into a full blown recessionntor and maybe worse. what do youse. see if he doesn't change course? well, he actually said that at the end of the debate and thene chris wallace saved a him. said i remember when i said, oh , wait a minute.e.itted so he's admitted to all this and then they tried to i take it back . back and chris wallace, who was a a terrible commentator, saved him. but he's been saying this indirectly for a long time. and the problem with itth w is that if you don't go to fastow

and we're we're talking about in many cases, you know, they today have clean coal. al , they today have natural gas which is very clean. we include nuclear. hings in we include many other things in there. but but if you don't go to the kind of things that you're you've been living with for a period of time, they don'twe have the power to fuel our great factories and to build o our great businesses. today i today i saw a big story that there very millions and millions of dollars arers being charged t on windmills because they're killing eagles, they're killing the bald eagle e and other eagles and other birdsth and we have these windmills all over the place and the environmentalists pretend they love but they're really hurting our country. cou they're driving down values. ll. they're just absolutely killing us . one of the most expensive forms of energyonof. the turbines are all made in china or germany. so they get es a the advantage of that . it's just ridiculous. advantage the real problem is o

that if you go green , you gon' green . you don't have the power to fuel our great factories, manufacture plants and all of w the things that we do and thate we're known for you don't have the power and it's happened with germany. germany is a mess right now at because they tried to do that and it's not working and it's not working at all. we it wouldn't work for us either.t we'll have to get rid of 25% of our business would have to close factories all over the place. it doesn't havever the power. tech the technology's not there yetno and possibly will really never be there.. there you look atn the latest poll numbers, joe biden is underwater in double digits on almost every major issue. quinnipiac poll it's not a conservative poll by any means, as you know, had his approval rating today att 33%. at 33%. 26% among independents in america, recent polls haveam a dramatic demographic decline for africanus americans

and hispanic americans in terms of their support for joe biden. what do you read into that ? sur >> well, nobodyis can be surprised. you look at the border, they talk about twowo million people. i think you're going to have c 10 million people if they really knew the real numbers coming in , you get a 40 , 50 or 60 million people coming in over over this four year period y. that's a horrible thing.orti that's a major portion of ouronu country coming in that's bigger by three times four times than new york city. it's crazy what they're doing and there's just nor justification for it.it we don't know who these people that are coming in . we don't know who they are.why and then why would we give up all joeindependence? all joe would have w had to do s leave it alone. never we never had it h running at the border. we the best part of the most secure border we've ever had. the war was almost complete. y it took two and a half years to get it started because they had to win 11 different lawsuits

and mostly done by democrats and democrats in congress. . m l i want them all. we. started the war.he wall, it it is just about finished three weeks. it would have been finished, could have easily been finished and they don't want to do it. they are lettingng people invad. our country. this is an invasion of our country.y. and the other thingd thther t at can't be said strongly enough it really started going as horrible as the border was that it's horrible. there's never been anything worseev for any country. you could take a third world country a fourth world country. nobody hasas ever allowed peopld to invade their country like this happening to us . we have no idea who the people are. the terrorists in many cases there are many jails being laptied from manyy countries.. last week it wasst w 129 differt countries. people entered from those countries 129 ent countries and they're emptying out their jails into the united states of america. it's a tragedy what's going on . but a big point, a big time in this country, the greatest

ofarrassment in the history our country was the way we surrendered in afghanistan and i was getting us out with dignity, with strength. we hadn't lost a soldier in eighteen months. the taliban is listening to meve very strongly. they weren't doing anything we were going togt get out with dignity and strength when we got w 13 dead soldiers, many, many soldiers without blake, without arms who have been just obliterated that people o don't talk about. we left american hostages in that frankly you talk about better than any show on television because you'reve one of the few people that even mentioned it and we left eighty five billion dollars worth of the best militaryli equipment anywhere in the world. i rebuilt the military two point five trillion dollars. i upgraded our nuclear so that we have the most powerful nuclear p force in the world w in many ways i hated doing it because of the power, but we stuff that we didn't even it was fifty years old . we didn't even know if it were d

.ing. but i we did everything.g. the way, when when putin talks about nuclear, everybody shies where they don't want to talk that over because this is a that's taking place. we have the strongest, most capable nuclear anywhere in the world because of what i did. i rebuilt it. it t was we we literally had nor idea whether or not it even work and as i said, because of the power, because of the awesome power and strength, i hated to dodo i it, but we hao choice. we had no choice. but we have more than he has. we have as powerful or more powerful than he has and people shouldn't be pushing this around. it's so sad sad when when you ss of thousands of people dying, you know, finally giving. accurate numbers, it's far greater than the numbers that you heard in ukraine. but we're being pushed around and we shouldn't bedn pushed around. one thing the president's zelenskyy made very clear in an interview with 60 minutes

this weekend and i see this for myself i really think this is very simple.ri no american bootscan on the ground. that's part of the trump doctrine overwhelming force. that's part of the trump doctrine. the reagan doctrine is no bootse on the ground provide allied nations the ability, the weaponry so they can fight their own war . the ukrainians have shown h they are willing to fight. they need the weaponry to do so. i don't w see nato stetting stepping up with the degree of urgency i think they need to or western europe orhe the united states either. i don't know why joe has this mysteriouss reluctance and resistance to allow poland to give president zelenskyy and ukraine migs, especially when you look at the devastation we have mass graves. of humans we have innocentbe civilians being slaughtered in the streets. we have entire et. neighborhoods leveled. we have war crimesme and atrocities. but we'll chronicle from butcher to mariupol, mariupol.

95% wiped out. it's all rubble today. mariupol is wiped out. i asked you th ei asked you the last time you were on whether you think that this is evill in our time. do you believe this is evil in our time? i think in one hundred yearsgo people are going to lookin back and they're going to say how did we stand back and nato stand back ? which in many ways i've called a paper tiger. don't forget i rebuilt nato because when r i became presided the first thing i noticed when i went there to the first meeting was that most of the countries were not paying. we're paying far less than they were supposed to. there were only eight out of t 28 countries that were paid in for the united states washa w not one of them. we were making up the deficit in order to protect europe. we were paying possibly 80% of nato to protect them and then they take advantage of us .heeyt yetake on trade because on trad they're every bit as bad as china. they treated us very badly on trade. we changeded a lot of that aroud

,but they were very tough on trade., i asked angela merkel how many w chevrolet's are you selling this month in munich or berlin? and she looked at me well, probably none. i saidd, you're exactly right, none. and yet we had the mercedes and the volkswagen said all of them we had all of the german companies and the same thing with farmers. rs. our farmers sell virtually to europe. you take a look at what we sell and yet we take w their product they treated us very badly in trade and we defended them and we really if you look at the real numbers, i bet you it's close to 80%. i said you have to pay and if you don't pay, we're not goingar to defend you. that, and as soon as i saide that everybody we took in hundreds of billions of dollars and nato became rich. rc it was goingh down at a level w that nobody it was not even it would not have been sustainable . you wouldn't be in a position now of giving them a rifle, let alone billions of dollars worth of equipment. so we did i had a big impact. tt

and then and by the way, that was in effect against russia. the pipeline was against russia, the sanctions against russia. the fakenes and then i listen to the fake news say, oh , president trump loves russia and he didn't do much about russia. opped well, i stopped the pipeline. t the biggest thing they've everhe done. i created a powerful data because i got people to pay what they had to pay. they weren't egg and nobody did sanctions like i didid. so with all of that being said,o when i look atk what's happening, it never would have happened under the trump administrationen regardless of strength one way or the other.y i knew putin very well almost as well as i know you and i will tell you we talked abouta it. we talked aboutot. it a lot. he didt want ukraine, but i sain you're not going into ukraine. he would never, ever have gone into ukraine and president xi of china wouldo never have eveno thought about going into taiwan, not during the trump administration and even the radical leftt crazy people.

the radical left actually mostly agrees with that. they actually say that . and i said chuck todd sleepiest chuck todd on nbc fakeness said the other day he said why didn't any of this stuff happens during the trump administration ? and blinken and others could not answer that question. but i can tell you why putin never would have done it. neverver would obviously you sas to vladimir putin and president xi that you've neverve revealed. >> will you ever reveal it? prl probably at some time.y and they know they might reveall before i do. k w but you know, i got along with both of them when with russia look, remember this not easy. i had the russia, russia, russia, hoke's which made very difficult to deal with russia and putin understood that also is a total hoax made up by hillary clinton and the democrats . ft a total shift shift shift so bad for our country. t, i got but despite that i got along with him.

we understood each other and i got along very well with president xi. i made one oflith the greatest trade deals ever made, not only the u.s. sba with mexico, canada, but the deal the trade deal i made for the farmers with china and manufacturers with china until the china virus came in .as a bridge to that was that was a bridge too far that is that as far as i was concerned because you know, china taking advantage of the united states for fromm the day they started dealing with usted from the day it wasth horrible, was a horrible thing that happened. atthey would take it out 500 billion dollars a year for manyy ,many years. i get back hundreds of billions of dollars with the taxes and with the tariffs and i had to fight for it because we had guys like to me republicans and all of the democrats, but to me a republican, that's why he's not running anymore got he wouldee have gotten shellacked in pennsylvania. 't want but some of these people, they didn't want to charge china anything.

i said why wouldn't you tax w them when they're taxing us ? you know, jaitapur massive tariffs on us, asbut we didn't want to and others i'm not just talking about him. stupidi call these people.ey a so they're allowed to dore a ite us but we're not allowed a to do it to them.at it is? is that what it is?s? well, yes, that's called freefr tradeee. no, that is i said no, that's called stupid trade. anyway, we did we did great.we d we created the greatest economy in history, shot the greatest economy in history. african-american in, asianca american, everybody, women everyn an, single person, every group, every categoryso was at the highest level we were ever at and we were taking china to the cleaners. we were growing muchhwe were bes much faster.te. and then we got hit with a china virus that we had slow it down and then we did it all over again. and whenen i handed it back , the stock market was higher than it was at the time we got hit. but that period of time prioror

to the china virus, there has never been in the history of this world an economy that was moving along like that economy. mo was the greatest in history for everybody. let me stay on russia and china for a minute. one report out this week vladimir putin will make more selling oil and gas this year estimated to be three hundred and fifteen billion. that's almost a billion dollars a day. obviously that will fund his war effort against ukraine.f and after watching putin invadee ukraine, do you believe president xi will try to take taiwan? he has shown a lot of aggression. flying fighter jets over their airspace keeps talking about reunification. that would be a takeover. and who do you think is the bigger geopolitical threat russia or chinaitic because ofec the massive economy of chinaau a and because of the amount ofmo building that they're doing of

their military? you take a looklo at the number of planes that they've built. they're building brand new aircraft carriers. they're doing a lot of nuclear ai . we have much more than them right now. but within five years they'll have caughthey us and russia and us are the two biggest. but they will have caught us within five years. but what they're doingng with their fi money, with their wealth, the wealth that they are making and they're spending, a i like the island that they're building. they're building a fortress.iniy he said to everybody that thisth was the housing development.e i said how come you have h the longest runway i've ever seen? a guy in a housing development doesn't need a runway that's 20000 feet long.ee why are you doing that ? they never t really had a very good answer. but look, i always have to sayy they're both very, very difficult because of that setss everything apart. that puts it in to a different perspectivee. but if you look overall, including economy, china's a massive economy. russia is a big economy but much smaller.

and i think you've got to watch both very carefully. i will say this what obama and biden did is they did the all time worst thing that could happen. they drove because of energy and reason said stupidity. they droveeasons, russia and cha together. that was something that never could have happened because their neighboring never friendly neighbors, they did the all time. worst thing they drove those two big monsters together. >> well,>> what it's about to happen not only china and russia together nowno iran as as bad as the obama biden deal was with iran now talking about a far worseou deal . and joe wants to import oil from iran and he's begging opec and he's dealing with a murdering dictatorr the in venezuela by sending emissaries to to venezuela things i know that you would never do. let me ask this question. this e the media mob got angry at you for saying putin should release information a on the bidens.

now we do know that hunter biden we know about the laptop has now been validated. we know a grand jury has been convened. he got millions and millions of dollars from a russian t oligarch, the former first lady of moscow, one point five billion dollar deal with the bank of china, m one hundred thousand dollar shopping free with chinese national. also according too peter schweitzer, millions more . he got money for a brand new sports car from a kazakh oligarch. and then of course, you have joe biden on tape. you got impeached over ukraine and joe biden bragging that hen. leveragedan one billion us taxpayer dollars and demanded a ukrainian prosequita get fired . and the prosecutor was investigating his son beingtor paid millions. the son that went on good morning america admitting experience in oil, gas, energy or ukraine. now should we be looking into the potential that thee biden joe biden, this president is doing deals and had involvement

with hunter biden?devi we havedenc evidencee that in ft he lied when he said he never talked to his son about these do yougs. do you at all believe it's a possibility that joe biden could be compromised by these countries? because i do well, of course. >> and when you look at what happened with the new york post, which really stood at allne o, i think they really enhance their reputation. i believe it's the oldest in this countryou and they where they really went outut and know what they were essentially shut down. but people are still saying but had that story come out and then now two weeks ago the new york times came out and essentially admitted that what they did was wrong and they came outut of nowhere with that one . but it would have made a 17 point difference in the election according to the pollsters, the real pollsters a. and look, we did so i got millions. you know, we did much better in the second election than we did in the first electionid, but this would have been 17 points.

additionally, in the election. d so what they did it's probably the largest campaign contribution ever made iff you think about it, what the new york times won the election. yeah, that's true . it is depressed what they're doing. and they suppress the vote and they artificially suppress the vote and probably illegally suppress the vote and nobodypr wants to talk about it. but it's a very dangerous thing. what do isat they they use prosecutors that look, i've gone through in five yearse more investigations than al capone, jesse jamesig and billy the kid put together. i fly over a democrat say in my airplane i end up before a grand jury. it'sy. a disgrace. and you know what the people of this country are going to take it. they're just not going to take it. their weathertech weaponizes law enforcement essentially they've weaponizesse the aged in the states and thehe attornet generals and the district attorneys. and i mean, it's suchri a horriblebl thing that they'rei

doing and i just don't think the people of the country are going to take it. but i just based on past, i think probably nothing will happen. look, we will also had a chancet bill barr, the attorney general, didn't want to be impeached.d. they were vicious with him. they said we're going to impeach him. they didn'tey are know why, but they were going to impeach bill barr. he didn't want to be impeached.o how do you not get impeached? ne you just sit back and relax and wait out for a term to end. that's what he did. and it was a sad thing and a sad day for our country. then he writes a crummy book which was so false. but you know what had bill barr had the courage. a lot of been couldd have taken care. the i say this the us attorney, the u.s. attorney in slidell not to investigate the fraud in the elections and he said don't do it. and he wrote a letter toha that effect. and you know what had bill barr had the courage too do what he should have done instead of

being worried about being impeached. i said, look, get impeached. i went up a lot in the polls when i got impeached. y you have h toave get beats mayb. but he was so afraid of being impeached that he refused to do his job and that includes some of the things you'reab talking about. >> i would argue we have criminalize political differences and i do not believe in america todayizio that we have equal justice and equal application of our laws areur mutual friend. the great one , mark levin says it's a post constitutional america.it i would i would hope that's noti the case and we can save this great republic. let me ask you a question. i know you would not answer the question if i ask you now are you thinking about running again in twenty twenty four ?o i don't think you would. i i don't don't think you give me the answer except you probablyan say you'll be very happy with the answer. some people be happy with the answer. q okay, here's my butue here'sst a question i do have for you. if you were president now that you've had some time to

reflect on on your presidencyit and i'm sure you are thinking about whether it's the right thing for you and your family yo. e in and i know many people in this audience want you to run again. my question would be just one thing, just one that you would do differently a second time. >> well, look, there are many things you do differently. incr we had aned incredible administration with tax cuts and regulation cuts and rebuilding the military at warp speedit and think of this space for us . we did so many things. but i think one of the things that i would do differently is, you know,di i found the media is so corrupt that i would really not focus on them almost at all. i justt focused on getting the job done for the american people. youpeople catered to the media,u deal with the media. they're very dishonest. ha they write opposite things. they have sources that aren't sources. thereurce is an unbelievably dishonest hence the name fake news.

i mean the fake news.on and i think really i'd focus on getting the job and getting our country back .ount our country hasry never been ina worse position than it is right now. we're disrespected n all over te world. we no longer have respect and it would really be focused on that, just bringing our country back , getting itt back to where we had it.the fact we had let me be very clear back that we've never seen we have never been more respected than we were two years ago as a country. h am i hearing youea right?ring yw you wouldou ignoreld ign the mer the most part and focusar on cleaning up the mess w that joe biden has created. by the way, it's only a year and a couple of months and all of this damage has been done. there's going to be an awful lot of work to do. i would argue. brin on the one hand it's simple bring back your border policies, bring back your economic policies, bring back your energy policies, bring back your peace through strength policies , bring you know, if you broughtll all of those things back law and order, for example,

wouldn't it be a fairly quickra change, dramatic change one year into a second term? wouldn't that be dramatically? wouldn't this be a dramatically different america? >> we have about a minute.e. well, the energy has>> to come back and the energy can come back and can come back very strongly. i don't know if you've ever heard the term dig. we must dig must. that's a great term and that's what we have to do.. we havee to get our energy back . we have to get the prices way down that willat make a lot less money for very substantial enemies that we have at especially if you look at what's happening with russia, it almostt by itself would stop the war and we have a lotth of things we can do. we can do them fairly quickly and if we don't do them, we're not going to have a country left. we have to close the borders.the we have to let people come in only legally. >> we have so many things. there has never been such destruction done to this country so quicklynt. mr. president, we alwaysh thank you for being with us. i can say this one last thing. h

you've been on the phone with us about 40 minutes somewhere around there and iun can tell this country that joe biden would be totally, completely, utterly incapable of a discussion like this that speaks volumes. thank you , sir, for s beingo with usit. all right. this that's all the time we have left this evening. please set your dvr and never miss an episodedevrvr. in the meantime, let not your heart be troubled. ingram angles next .'s >> we'll see you tomorrow night . i'm laura ingraham and this is ingraham angle from washington. ngwe begin tonight with. this question why areia government officials and the media hiding the truth about the new york subway shooter late last night? the disturbing videos posted o online by the nownl arrested suspect frank james appeared online and they speak for themselves. his ramblings are those of a man who seem to be gearing up for a race war and a youtube posting just a month ago he said white people and black
