5:01 pm
president arrest ed by a democratic prosecutor on political grounds. we wanted to hear from the man who experienced it. the conversation went different directions heavily on foreign policy but amazing conversation. here's how it began. >> mr. president thank you for having news is thank. >> last week in new york for the arraignment, the world watched it, you have not given and interview since, were you there 57 minutes. tell us what it was like? >> waits horrible thing because did i nothing wrong absolutely you look at the pun dates legal analysis greg jarrett they're saying he didn't do anything wrong. that's number one. number two they were incredible when i went to the courthouse which is also a prison in a sense, they signed me in and i'll tell you, people were crying, people that worked there, professionally worked there that had no problems
5:02 pm
putting in martiers are and they see everybody. it's tough, tough place. and they were crying. they were actually crying. they said, i'm sorry. they say 2024, sir, 2024 tears pouring down their faces. those people are phenomenal. those are your police, those are the people that work at the courthouse. they're unbelievable people. many of them were in tears or close to it. and apologies, we are sorry, sir. they said, sir, i can't believe i have to ask you to do this. you could see so in one sense it was beautiful because they get it and in another sense it's nasty. i went to the wharton school of finance them. didn't teach me about that. we didn't have a class on arraignment, and you know, it was a sad day in and ways and
5:03 pm
and ways it was a beautiful day because the people understand and i didn't know this was happening, but the poll numbers have begun through the roof. the people get it and the other ones are hoaxes box hoax, biden has 850 boxes and that's a hoax and the one in atlanta perfect phone call this is all weaponization. they're weaponizing our justice system and they think if they go give you and subpoena i guess i'm very well known and people understand it is and they get it and maybe i have a bigger platform so can i explain it but if you're somebody republican let's say running for office and you get a subpoena you might as well resign because you're not going to be able to survive it and the voters aren't going to handle it. the voters aren't going to take it. what they're doing is weaponizeing the system and there's never been anything like it. it's all disinformation. the other day, afghanistan, one of the worst things i've ever seen i think one of the most
5:04 pm
embarrassing momemts this country has ever had frankly the way we got out. we had to get out. waits ridiculous to be there. i had that so good so tight so tough i spoke to the leader abdul if you do anything you're going to get really hard. literally, he said, sir, why, why? why oh why do you send me a picture of my house any said, you'll have to figure that one out, abdul but we didn't have one death in 18 months. he knew, not one death and to see the way we got out like we were surrendering taking the military out first, leaving $85 billion worth of equipment, i was going to give up bagram not for afghanistan. it's one hour away from where china makes its nuclear weapons. it's one of the biggest air force bases in the world with runways that go 10,000 feet. i was keeping that because of china not because of afghanistan. >> right. >> and they left having.
5:05 pm
they left the dark of night. they left lights on them. left the dogs by the way. >> they left the dogs? >> they left the dogs, the dog lovers, i love dogs you love dogs, people said one of the first questions i got what did they had do with the dogs mostly german shepherds? they left them. the way they got out was so horrible. everybody knows that it was their plan. that had knowing nothing to do with me. we would have gotten out with strength and dignity and what happened? they got out and the other day i hear yeah, it was trump's fall. oh that's right. it was trump. trump. i was gone for a long -- i would have been out faster and we would have had tall equipment. we would have the american citizens. we left hostages. we left americans behind. many i think many more than you think. and we had 13 soldiers killed and nobody ever mentioned we have many maimed so badly no
5:06 pm
arms no legs their faces was obliterated, this is the way this go got out. we would have got out with dignity and strength. i said i want every nail. spkr4: want every screw. i want the tents. he said sir the tents are hard to take out. i want the tanks, i want the planes, i want everything and a couple of them fought me on it like millly, he said i think it's cheaper to leave the equipment behind. i said we have a plane that cost a hundred million dollars. all it needs is a tank of gas. right? give me a little jet fuel. we will fly to it pakistan or anywhere else. you say it's cheaper to leave a hundred million dollar plane? he says sir, i think it's much cheaper. they left equipment, they left our men citizens behind. dia little skit with a 5-year-old kid i said let me ask
5:07 pm
you. here's a situation. explain the situation. i said when you take the military out first or would you take it out last? i'd take it out last, 5-year-old. but they took the military out first and they were afraid of our military when i was there, they were afraid. we didn't have one soldier killed in 18 months out there, not one soldier was killed in 18 months and then we got out like we surrendered. i think it was the single most embarrassing day in the history of our country. it was totally their fault because we had a system of getting out, but the taliban in particular the taliban because that's where the action was, right? in i called abdul, the press went crazy, the fake news went crazy why did he call an minimum? i said it's jesse james. why dehe rob banks? he said that's where the money is. why did i call the head of the taliban because that's where the killing was.
5:08 pm
he's there now, abdul. called me your excellencey. you know, they're one of the largest arms dealers in the world. they're selling the equipment. they're one of the largest i think second arms dealers, brand new helicopters. brand new airplanes. brand new tanks. unbelievable what we left behind. we ran. it was no reason to. i wanted out. 21 years was enough. we shouldn't have been there in the first place but when i see what happens, when i see level of stupidity because of that it's all a big web. because of that putin who would have never got into ukraine when i was there. i talked to him about it observe, would have never ever done that when he saw that i wasn't there and he saw these
5:09 pm
fools, they stupid people and think of that, the way they left afghanistan and nobody was fired. i fired a lost people because they didn't do a good job snukd to putin about ukraine, what did you say to him? >> i could see that he loved it. >> he loved ukraine. >> he considers it on a part of russia. >> yeah. >> i said not what i'm president. we had a very good relationship. me was -- i mean, look. i was the worst thing that ever happened to him. i closed up his pipeline. you never heard the words nordstream 2 until i came along. i had a great relationship with him because there was a fake russia investigation and i told him and he had told me it's very hard for to us deal and i said very hard because we have a fake investigation that turned out to be a fake for two years it went on and we could have done very well with russia they have great minerals. they have great things we want
5:10 pm
we could have and they need the moderna and they need other things, but that interfered. that was a terrible thing. what is the actually a treasonous thing to do. those people should have been been arrested. they made up a problem with russia that didn't exist. now they admit it didn't exist i. was on to the next one. i often say, they said to me the other day one of your fellow journalists said, who is the biggest problem, sir? is it china? could it be russia? could it bed north korea no, i said the biggest problem is from wevenlt it's these sick radical people from within because we can handle if we are smart, we can handle russia, china. i did. i took in billions and billions, hundreds of billions of dollars from china. no other president took in anything and they respected me. he's the same thing. i told him you can't go into taiwan. you can't do it. i won't tell you exactly what it
5:11 pm
said bought it was something probably a lot of people won't like if they heard. i told him don't go into taiwan. there will be problems. otherwise we are going to have a great relationship and he said to me when i said we are going to do something, no, no, you wouldn't do it. i said i will do that. and he didn't believe me but me believed me 10 percent. the same thing with putin, i said i was going to do something really nasty if he goes into kraivenlt he said, no no, you're not going to do that, i will. he didn't believe me but me believed me 10 percent and the 10 percent you never heard talk about going into ukraine, you never heard talk about going into taiwan until i was no longer there. now, what a mess the world is in. what a mess. >> we traveled to mar-a-lago today to interview the former president on he is recent arrest by a democratic prosecutor but
5:12 pm
once we sat down we wound up talking mostly about foreign policy. for a man caricatured as an extremist we think you'll find what he says moderate sensible and wise ghmt we come back, donald trump's greatest fear for america, something we almost never talk about. we'll be right back.
5:13 pm
5:14 pm
5:15 pm
5:16 pm
5:17 pm
>> covering the weather beat in palm beach. we are here to interview the former president donald trump. giel the rest of us have spent 2.5 years arguing about systemic racism transrights and other things, america's position globally has eroded so fast it defies belief but donald trump has noticed things have really changed since he left office. that's the topic of this next part of the conversation. you said at the time when you were president that going to war with russia either hot war or cold war would drive russia into alliance with china that would displace us as the most powerful nation. >> i did but we have a bigger
5:18 pm
problem. the bigger problem is the weaponry. the wolfpackry today is oh powerful. this isn't like second world war with army tanks shooting each other. this is weapons the likes which the world has never seen before. china has the beginnings of a very big, very powerful nuclear -- they're short 5 years. they had started much later. russia and us are comparable, massive power. >> more than people understand? >> more than people understand, yes. >> were you surpriseed. >> if you look at hiroshima, if you look at nagasaki, you look at those two events many many years ago and multiply that power times 500 that's what you're talking about bieler it melted granite. granite unmeltable by blow
5:19 pm
torch. >> yes. >> if you look at granite areas it's like water that got, hardened like an ice skating rink. it melted the ground. if you look at that and multiply times 500, that's what you're talking about when i listen to people talking about global warming that the ocean will rise in the next 300 years by 1/8 of an inch and they talk about this is our problem, our big problem is nuclear war. nobody talks about it. the environmentalist talks about all this nonsense in many cases and i've become a environmentalist in my own way because i've done a good job with the environment but nobody talks about nuclear, the problem we have, the biggest problem we have in the whole world. it's not global warming. it's nuclear warming. all it takes is one madman and
5:20 pm
going to have a problem the likes of which the world has never season and you don't have to wait 200-300 years for it to happen. >> what you're saying is demonstrablely true. why isn't something the press talks about? >> i don't think they're smart. i don't think they get it putin talked about it all time. i never mentioned the world nuclear. my uncle was a great professor at mit a long time, thing the longest dr. john trump, and he would talk about a lot of different things and it was very interesting to me. for years i talked to him. passed away. he was a great gentleman. i think it's the longest tenure's professor in the history of mit. if not it was very close, almost 40 years and we talked about things. he said some day three have a suitcase and in that suitcase, it will be nuclear and you'll
5:21 pm
blow up new york city out of a suitcase. i said no, uncle john, that can't possibly be. the power is so incredible. can you fire up a submarine and run it for years on essentially a tablet running for years. so, when we talk about war and when i watch all of the people talking about ukraine and how's ukraine doing blah blah blah, russia is sitting back, first of all ukraine is being obliterated but let's say it wasn't the let's say they were doing better than anticipated. if he decided to use his second form of destruction, which is nuclear, that's the end of that. you understand? i know where you are in ukraine so you understand it better than most. most people don't even talk about it. they don't talk about the fact that he has equal to the united
5:22 pm
states a nuclear capability and destruction. and so, i watch all this happening and it's so sad. >> can i just ask, the biden people know the power of nuclear weapons. they control our arsenal them. don't seem worried about this. >> that's because they don't understand life. they don't understand whatever it is that you have to understands. it's very interesting. at the beginning biden was very afraid of nuclear, oh, they've nuclear weapons which was exactly the wrong signal to say. don't do that but if you go back and check your files you'll see biden early son age we can't do. this they have nuclear weapons well you don't want to act that way but he was very afraid of nuclear. i said, you know, you got to be a little bit cooler than that, but what happened is now that nobody talks bit, every day putin mentions it and every day other people mention it and now all of a sudden if you look other countries are talking about getting it.
5:23 pm
this was something you don't mention. i call it the "n word." you have two "n word"s. you don't mention either one of them. the nuke word you don't mention because the power is so destructive. i met with professors at mit and i was preparing for a debate. i wouldn't say it was a long preparation but i did want to talk about nuclear because i consider it to be the single greatest threat the world has far greater than global warming, not even a contest and i had these people come down who were very smart, very expert and in -- i said, we start talking about nuclear debate how would you handle it, and they looked at me one in particular and said, sir, you can't talk about it. can you not talk about it. i said, what does that mean? he said, it is so massive, it is so destructive that you cannot
5:24 pm
talk about it. i understood exactly what he meant, and we stayed away from it for the most part, but now putin is mentioning it all the time. we don't mention it but put sin always mentioning. we are a nuclear pourpt heat said not so long ago. i said that's the first time i've heard a major country. you know do you hear it talked about and i did a great job with north korea kim jong-un you went with me on a trip which didn't make my life too easy but that's okay. but were you there, one of the few, and it was an amazing, it had to be one of the most incredible experiences for. >> for sure. >> but it was amazing. we had thousands of reporters. they weren't treated particularly nicely either, by the bay. but i got along great with them, and because of that, i started rough you remember with rocket
5:25 pm
man, little rocket man? he said i have a button on my desk a red button. i said i have a red button on my desk, my is bigger, mine works and yours doesn't and it went on a couple months and all of a sudden the logjam was broken and wanted to meet and we did meet. we get along great to to this day. he want talk to these people. he has no respect for them. if he respects you, he respect you. he tried to talk with obama. he met with me. i met with him guys. i would have had a deal worked out with him. he's got tremendous nuclear capability. it's the single months problem. maybe it's more important than i thought it might be because somebody has to understand what has to happen and deescalate. >> how would you do that now? >> now, you have a problem. you have this crazy world that's blown up and the united states
5:26 pm
has absolutely no say and macron who is a friend of mine is over with china, kissing his ass in china. i said, france is going to china? you take a look at saudi arabia, look at what happened. they're great people. they wanted to help us. he gives a fist pump. you know what a fist pump means? don't shake my hand because your hand is dirty. they got it he was so insulted. you understand that? >> yes. >> i don't want to shake your hand. let's go fist pump. >> senator 7 years the neocons everybody telling us donald trump a dangerous lunatic. lecture about global warming. joe biden says he's running in
5:27 pm
20246789 we asked donald trump whether that's going happen and whether anything can get him out of the race including a legal conviction. that's next. >> all tin krbl work you have done for charity, i'm proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country's highest civilian honor, the presidential medal of freedom.
5:28 pm
>> let me tell you folks it's never going to be time to panic because we are never going to give up. we are not going to give up on america.
5:29 pm
5:30 pm
5:31 pm
no. ♪ -no. -nuh-uh. ♪ yeah. oh. yes. ♪ oh yeah. yes. isn't this great? yeeaahhhh!! ♪ yeah, i could do a cartwheel in here. oh hey! would you like to join us? no. we would love to join you. ♪
5:32 pm
>> democrats arrested the republican frontrunner last week in an effort to keep him from running for president's? we had asked donald trump directly and does he think joe biden will actually run? here's that conversation. do you think biden will stay in the race? >> look. i watch him just like do you. and i think it's almost inappropriate for me to say it, but i deal with other people. i don't see how it's possible and it's not an age thing. like i say i have friends that 88, 89, 92, bernie marcus is 95.
5:33 pm
he's smart as hell. he's sharp as me was. founder of home depot, one of the founders >> yes. >> i had a meeting a few months ago, he was 100 percent and i know people that built their fortunes from 80-90. they were always struggling and they made a fortune from 80-90. couple people in particular. it's amazing. he's not too old. i think they do the age thing because i'm 4-5 years behind. they say this is a way fefting trump but this is something wrong. i saw his answer today, on television about whether or not he was going to run about a very nice guy named al roker. there was a long answer about the eggs, the this and that. look. i don't think he can. say what you want, we didn't expect him to get it.
5:34 pm
people would say he won an election. he goes i got the most votes of any sitting vote in president. i was told if i got 15 million less i couldn't lose and they're surrounded by vicious smart people radical left people that are very smart but they're vicious. it's not him. he's in you're land. he's not going to have a world conference. when the world is exploding i own property in you're land. the world is exploding around us and could you end up in a third world war and this guy is going to be in you're land. he hasn't had a news conference in months. >> well, he can't. so if he doesn't run, if he's taken out by his own party or who knows what happens but doesn't seem like he's capable of running again, who does run? >> well, obviously the one they would talk about would be the
5:35 pm
vice-president, kamala. that would be the one they talk about but i don't think she's performed well on the big stage. i mean, maybe i'm wrong but there are certain people who will go crazy if it's not her. they're going to be very angry if it's not her. that's a problem. you have a very ambitious guy in california but he's done a terrible job with the state. i used to get along great with him when i was president, got along really good gav. >> you got along with gavin newsom? >> i did. said the greatest things heat would say things like he's doing a great job. >> about you? >> about me. that'sy can never hit him because he was so nice to me. just laying in wait. but he was very nice to me and relatively speaking. some of them weren't. we did a good job for the governors but they talk about him. they talk about some others.
5:36 pm
i just don't see biden doing from it a physical or a mental standpoint. >> yes. >> i don't see it, but it's been a crazy period of time in the world of politics but he's surrounded by people. you know, they expected bernie to win. bernsi older than biden, whether you like him or not. he's a hundred per cent sharp. he hasn't lost anything bernie sanders but he's older. so it's not an age thing. i just don't see him. >> so they're trying to prevent you from making to it the general election. >> yes. >> by tying you up in lawsuits charging you with crimes. >> the old soviet process. >> and you've described it as ill legitimate f. this goes to trial and you get convicted in the middle of a presidential campaign how would you respond? >> it's so off the statute of limitations, years off, it's hard to believe. you know, usually when you have
5:37 pm
something like this, the democrats say he's terribly guilty. the democrats have even said, i'm insoenlt i watched some of these, i think it was andrew mack mccabe, the fbi guy who i fired, he came out and said they've got no case. they've all come out and said i. and then you've had andrew mccarthy. everybody like and they're down the middle people. they say, there's no crime? there's no anything. think of it, tucker. i've been through 7 years of [bleep] investigations. 7 years. they've looked at it, i have a very big company n. fact when they finally got my taxes, they said whoa. it took years to get the taxes. last i ever heard. you never heard one thing about them but took them years to get
5:38 pm
them, because they shouldn't be looking at my taxes. i was surprised the supreme court gave them approval. it's one of the tenets, you don't do that. i didn't care that much on principle i fought them. i built a great company. when you do the things that do i and you employ thousands and thousands of people over the years, just thousands, we have done a great job, and then i ran for president. people were surprised that i won but i used to see these rallies an aisle tell you the rallies are bigger now. the enthusiasm is more now than i've ever seen. >> what do you think since your poem numbers have rated continue assistantly since mar-a-lago? >> they've been going up substantially since august. >> how do you think your opponents will respond? >> i don't know how. we have two opponent. we have a primary opponent. we have a general election
5:39 pm
opponent. >> i mean the democratic party using the legal system. >> well, what they're doing is they're -- think of this. they say 11 million pages but whatever it is through all these mueller hoax, impeachment hoax number one, ukraine, ukraine, ukraine, russia, russia, russia, you would be screaming that guy is a comedian but you remember that whole b whole thing. it's a sad story, the revolutionary russia hoax was made up by crooked hillary clinton adam schiff the dnc, the dossier is a total fake thing we suing them a lot because unfortunately bill barr didn't have the courage what she they have done. he was so afraid of beam
5:40 pm
impeached so i have to do it civilly. i have to sue people. justice department should have done it. these are criminals. think of i. you have all these millions and millions of pages and they get you on a non-disclosure agreement? big numbers, billions and billions of dollars. they get you on a perfect non-disclosure agreement? or they get you on nothing. a friend of mine is a big business guy, he said you have to be the most ones guy in the world because with all of those numbers that you have and those big numbers, they don't have anything. and you have to see, take a look at the people i just mentioned. look and read what they said. there was no crime. in fact a lot of people saying indicted somebody, there's no crime. that's illegal to do what he did, so i don't see it going. we will have to see. >> so just to bottom line it the purpose of this is to keep you out of the presidential race. >> if i weren't running or if i had bad poll numbers let's say. >> right.
5:41 pm
>> and remember the democrats are the party of disinformation. if they want you to run, if they want to run against somebody, they're going to go the opposite and for instance hope don't want to run against me. now i just gave you a poll on nine points up on biden but they're the party of disinformation so what they say is, oh, we want to run against trump. now, they always do that they do. other people would do it but they do it pretty much better than others. >> is there anything they could flow at you legally that would convince to you drop out of the race if you get convicted? >> no, i'd never drop out it's not my thing. i wouldn't do it. >> no, i'd never drop out, he said, bottom lining it for us and donald trump spent four years in office taking what was considered a very tough stance on china and with that in mind his skripgsz of a meeting with chinese president xi jinping at mar-a-lago were remarkablely nuanced and even affection
5:42 pm
national. really interesting. xi apparently speaks english secretly. you'll hear it right after the break.
5:43 pm

5:47 pm
>> welcome back from windy palm beach, florida. we spent more than and hour with donald trump today and were struck throughout the course of the conversation how his grasp of foreign policy this man who is supposedly stupid his understanding of world affairs is so much nuanced and pro american than those currently in charge. send ammo to ukraine, trump disagrees with that and some of the stories he told us were amazing trump and chairman xi having chocolate cake at mar-a-lago. here's the payoff. >> i told china if you buy any oil from iran, president xi, very good conversations, i told him we shot 57 submittals into syria wail he was having
5:48 pm
chocolate cake. that's the only time he said, repeat. that was the only word he said in english. meaning he speaks english. >> he speaks english? >> i'll tell you what. it's an ain'ting thing. we had a dinner at mar-a-lago. we are having a great weekend. we are having a beautiful dessert, chocolate cake at mar-a-lago. he was telling me stories with the history of china, amazing 5 noun years, amazing history, and president obama didn't go takeover red line and because of that russia took over syria and there's a whole big thing. you know that. >> yes. >> if obama had done what he said they were going to do because they were killing children with gas, with gas bombs by the hundreds by the thousands in syria and he said, if that happens again, and it happened a number of times and he still never went over the line, but i did.
5:49 pm
so i shot 57 missiles almost every one of them hit into a military area which and lot of planes, wiped out a lot of planes, also had russian soldiers. they said i was so nice to russia i killed the pipeline. i sadly killed a lost russian soldiers that 500 group because they were doing things that they weren't supposed to. nobody writes that and i don't want them to write it because i'm not proud of it but we did that we shot approximately 57 missiles so when i met president xi over the weekend i'm not allowed to say it because it's very politically incredible, we had a very beautiful female interpreter. today they'll say this is terrible, you're not allowed to say that she was very professional. she spoke every word for him. very professional. had another couple of them.
5:50 pm
she was there, we were having dinner and he had would come in and say hello sheerks would say hello. she wouldn't say any word but i said a general came up and said do, we do it now, i said yeah, we have to do it now so gave the order during dinner. then sids, well, do i tell him? because they're very closely associated with syria, do i tell him now or do i wait until after he finds out after donor? because you have about 28minutes before they hit. so they said mr. president, we just fired approximately 57 missiles into syria into a bails. the missiles are on their way right now. he looked at me, goes repeat. that's the only time he ever said it. so i think he speaks english. they never said hello or github. he only dealt through interpreter. the only word i ever heard him
5:51 pm
