HAS CUT A DEAL WITH NANCY PELOSI
TO RAISE THE DEBT CEILING AND
FUND ALL OF OBAMA'S AGENDA FOR
TWO YEARS.
IT TURNED OUT SOME IN THE MEDIA
CRITICIZED ME, SAYING YOU DON'T
KNOW THAT.
BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY
DID. PEOPLE ARE FED UP WITH IT.
>> YEAH.
I'VE GOT TO RUN.
I WOULD SAY THIS IS A VERY BIG
NIGHT FOR YOU.
IN PART YOU GOT MORE TIME IN
THIS DEBATE THAN PROBABLY THE
OTHER TWO COMBINED AND PROBABLY
THE LINE OF THE NIGHT AGAINST
THE MEDIA.
AND I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.
I WOULD BE ALL IN FOR A
MODERATED DEBATE WITH ME, RUSH
AND MARK IF THEY'RE ON BOARD.
I'LL ASK REINCE PRIEBUS IF HE'S
WILLING TO DO SO.
THANK YOU, SIR. >> SEAN, LET ME TELL YOU, THE
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS WOULD
LOVE TO HEAR THAT DEBATE BECAUSE
YOU'RE STRONG CONSERVATIVES WHO
WOULD WANT TO FOCUS ON THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
CANDIDATES AND HELP PEOPLE MAKE
THE DECISION WE NEED TO MAKE.
>> IT WOULDN'T BE A GOTCHA
DEBATE.
THANK YOU, SENATOR.
GOOD NIGHT FOR YOU TONIGHT.
>> TAKE CARE.
>>> JOINING US IS THE NUMBER ONE
FRONT-RUNNER IN THE POLLS,
DONALD TRUMP IS HERE WITH US.
HOW ARE YOU, SIR?
>> HI, SEAN.
>> I'VE GOT TO BE HONEST.
RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE I FELT
JOHN HARWOOD WAS EXTRAORDINARILY
UNFAIR TO YOU AND ATTACKING YOU
IN THE LINE ABOUT THE CLOWN AND
UNNAMED SOURCES THAT TELL HIM
THAT YOU WOULD FLY BEFORE THAT
EVER PASSED.
I'VE GOT IMAGINE THAT THAT'S
PRETTY AGGRAVATING FOR YOU.
WHAT'S YOUR REACTION TO IT?
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK WE DID VERY WELL
TONIGHT. THE DEBATE ITSELF WENT VERY
WELL. AND THE AUDIENCE STARTED BOOING
HIM.
I GUESS I EXPECT IT.
I'M NUMBER ONE IN THE POLLS, AND
I WOULD MAYBE EXPECT IT.
BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS
UNNECESSARY. AND VERY INTERESTING.
I THINK THE RESULT WAS VERY
INTERESTING.
BUT THE EVENING WAS A GREAT
SUCCESS. >> YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE BIG
MOMENTS OF THIS DEBATE, AND I
ACTUALLY THINK YOU GOT THE
BETTER OF THIS MOMENT, THE
EXCHANGE YOU HAD WITH JOHN
KASICH.
LET ME PLAY IT FOR YOU, REMIND
OUR OUTSIDE YENS AND SEE HOW
THIS WENT DOWN.
>> FIRST OF ALL, JOHN GOT LUCKY
WITH A THING CALLED FRACKING.
HE HIT OIL.
HE GOT LUCKY WITH FRACKING.
BELIEVE ME, THAT'S WHY OHIO IS
DOING WELL. AND THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO
KNOW. NUMBER TWO, THIS IS THE MAN THAT
WAS A MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER
AT LEHMAN BROTHERS WHEN IT WENT
DOWN THE TUBES AND ALMOST TOOK
EVERY ONE OF US WITH IT
INCLUDING BEN AND MYSELF.
BECAUSE I WAS THERE AND I
WATCHED WHAT HAPPENED AND LEHMAN
BROTHERS STARTED IT ALL.
HE WAS ON THE BOARD AND HE WAS A
MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER.
AND JUST THIRDLY, HE WAS SO
NICE. HE WAS SUCH A NICE GUY.
AND HE SAID, OH, I'M NEVER GOING
TO ATTACK, BUT THEN HIS POLL
NUMBERS TANKED.
HE'S GOT -- THAT'S WHY HE'S ON
THE END. AND HE GOT NASTY.
SO YOU KNOW YOU CAN HAVE HIM.
>> LET ME JUST -- LET ME
RESPOND. FIRST OF ALL, OHIO DOES HAVE AN
ENERGY INDUSTRY, BUT WE'RE
DIVERSIFIED. WE'RE ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWS
STATES IN THE COUNTRY.
WE CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT WORKS VERY, VERY WELL.
AND SECONDLY, WHEN YOU ON THE B
BROTHERS I WASN'T ON THE BOARD.
I WAS A BANKER, AND TRAVELED THE
COUNTRY AND LEARNED HOW PEOPLE
MAKE JOBS. >> WHAT IS YOUR REACTION?
BECAUSE IN 24-36 HOURS, JOHN
KASICH SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE
AGGRESSIVE AND HOSTILE.
WHERE DO YOU THINK IT'S COMING
FROM?
>> HE HAS VERY BAD POLL NUMBERS
SO HE ATTACKED US.
I THINK IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE BUT
THAT CAME FROM POLL NUMBERS.
HE SEEMS LIKE A NICE GUY.
I THINK IT WORKED OUT WELL FOR
ME. >> LET ME GO TO THE ISSUE OF THE
SUBSTANCE TO THESE UNNAMED
SOURCES.
DO YOU TALK ABOUT TRILLIONS OF
DOLLARS? .
>> I DON'T THINK -- I DON'T
THINK THOSE SOURCES EXIST.
I DON'T BELIEVE THEY EXIST.
>> I GOT THE IMPRESSION IT WAS
HIS PERSONAL OPINION.
IT WAS A GREAT LINE MENTIONING
LAR
LARRY
LARRY.
HE'S A GOOD GUY.
WHAT YOU DIDN'T SEE WAS FACTOR
IN WAS REPATRIATED MONEY AND A
LOWER CORPORATE TAX RATE, ETC.
>> WE'RE LOWERING TAXES, BIG
LEAGUE. WE'RE BRINGING RATES DOWN.
WITH THE HIGHEST TAX IN THE
WORLD WITH HIGHEST TAXED COUNTRY
NOW AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE.
WE'RE BRINGING THE RATES DOWN TO
15% FOR CORPORATIONS AND
BRINGING IT DOWN TO TEN.
WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, $2.5 TRILLION
OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY THAT
CAN'T GET IN.
WE'RE BRINGING IT WAY DOWN.
IT'S GOING TO BE USED IN OUR
COUNTRY, THEN, WE'RE STARTING TO
CUT AND WE'RE GOING TO CUT
EXPENSES AND CUT WASTE AND FRAUD
AND ABUSE, AND WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE A REALLY DYNAMIC COUNTRY,
AGAIN.
>> MR. TRUMP, THIS ESTIMATED
THAT THERE IS $4 TRILLION
OVERSEAS THAT MULTI NATIONAL
CORPORATIONS WON'T BRING BACK TO
THIS COUNTRY.
>> YES.
>> AND THAT IS ABOUT THE
CORPORATE INVERSION.
>> RIGHT.
>> WHAT DO THOSE CORPORATIONS
SPEND THE MONEY HERE?
BUILD HERE?
IF THEY HAVE ABILITY TO BRING IT
BACK? >> THEY WOULD.
THEY WOULD SPEND IT HERE, THEY
WANT TO BRING IT BACK.
AND THE PAPER WORK IS
UNBELIEVABLE.
THEY CAN'T GET IT BACK IN.
THEY'RE LEAVING IT IN OUR
COUNTRY, GOING TO ANOTHER
COUNTRY TO GET THEIR MONEY AND
LOWER TAXES AND TAKING THOUSANDS
OF JOBS. >> LET ME ASK YOU.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT JOHN KASICH
AND THE ISSUE OF FRACKING, I WAS
THINKING COULDN'T THE WHOLE
COUNTRY BE LUCKY?
HOW BIG OF AN IMPACT, THROUGH
YOUR ECONOMIC ESTIMATE AND PLAN,
WOULD IT HAVE ON THE ECONOMY?
>> MASSIVE.
BIGGER THAN SAUDI ARABIA AND
ANYTHING.
MASSIVE. IF A STATE OR AREA OF THE
COUNTRY IS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE
SITTING ON THE RIGHT SOIL, AND
THE RIGHT LAND, THEY SHOULD BE
DOING IT AND SHOULD MAKE A
FORTUNE FOR THEMSELVES, CUT
TAXES, DO A LOT OF THINGS BUT
ABSOLUTELY, THEY SHOULD DO IT.
AND SOME PEOPLE DON'T DO IT.
SOME PEOPLE DON'T DO IT.
I MEAN, I CAN NAME ONE NOT DOING
IT.
AND SITTING ON TOP OF A BANANA.
>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT NEW YORK
STATE, WHERE I LIVE.
AND UPSTATE NEW YORK IS
SUFFERING FINANCIALLY BECAUSE OF
IT.
>> IT'S ON A BONANZA.
PENNSYLVANIA AND OTHERS ARE
SUCKING IT RIGHT NOW.
SO NEW YORK IS LOSING A LOT BY
NOT TAKING THE OIL AND GAS.
YOU KNOW HOW HIGH TAXES ARE IN
NEW YORK?
WE'RE LOSING A LOT BY NOT TAKING
IT. AND OTHER AREAS, LIKE
PENNSYLVANIA, THEY'RE TAKING IT.
AND THAT DOESN'T, YOU KNOW GO BY
LINES. IT FLOWS AND THEY'RE TAKING IT.
NOSHG OWE NOSHG IS LOSING A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT.
>> IT WAS INTERESTING TO WATCH
HOW BAD THE MEDIA WAS AND HOW
THE CANDIDATES WERE COMING TO
YOUR DEFENSE, INCLUDING MIKE
HUCKABEE AND TED CRUZ.
WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO THAT?
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT.
WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP AND
I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT.
THERE WAS A CERTAIN CAMARADERIE
UP THERE TONIGHT.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH.
>> THE MEDIA SEEMS TO HAVE A
HARD TIME GRASPING THE IDEA
YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD A WALL AND
MAKE MEXICO PAY FOR IT.
I WANTED TO HEAR THE REST OF IT.
I WANT YOU TO EXPLAIN HOW THAT
WOULD HAPPEN BECAUSE THE MEDIA
SEEMS TO LACK A COMPREHENSION
ABOUT HOW MEXICO'S ECONOMY IS SO
TIGHTLY TIED TO OUR ECONOMY, AND
THAT IT WOULD BE IN THEIR BEST
INTEREST TO DO SO.
>> SEAN, WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A
WALL PAID FOR BY MEXICO.
WE'RE GOING TO CREATE A REAL
BORDER. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BORDER, YOU
DON'T HAVE A COUNTRY.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DOOR TO
COME IN LEGALLY.
IT'S GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL
DOOR BUT WE'RE PUTTING UP A
WALL, MEXICO IS GOING TO PAY FOR
IT AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A
BORDER.
>> THEY PAY FOR IT WHY?
>> BECAUSE THEY MAKE OUR TRADE
AND BALANCE WITH MEXICO IS $50
BILLION A YEAR. WE GIVE MEXICO A TREMENDOUS
AMOUNT OF MONEY.
I LOVE THE MEXICAN PEOPLE, I
EMPLOY TENS OF THOUSANDS OVER
THE YEARS OF HISPANICS AND
PEOPLE, GENERALLY.
THESE ARE GREAT PEOPLE BUT THE
LEADERS ARE TOO SMART FOR OUR
LEADERS.
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO US IS A
DISGRACE. SO WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A WALL
AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE VERY
HAPPY. >> LAST QUESTION, WE'RE GOING TO
LET YOU GO.
YOU'VE BEEN PROBABLY THE MOST
CRITICAL OF JEB BUSH.
FOR SOME REASON HE WAS OUT THERE
ATTACKING MARCO RUBIO.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE STRATEGY
WAS BEHIND IT?
YOU'RE NUMBER ONE IN THE POLLS,
BEN CARSON HAS BEEN SURGING A
LITTLE BIT THIS WEEK.
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THAT,
TOO?
>> THEY WERE GOING AT IT.
BUT BEN IS STANDING NEXT TO ME
AND HE IS A TERRIFIC GUY.
BEN? YOU'RE A TERRIFIC GUY.
THAT IS THE STORY.
>> WHY DON'T YOU BRING HIM OVER?
GROUP HUG ON "HANNITY".
I SAID THIS EARLIER, THAT IT WAS
THE CANDIDATES THAT BEAT THE
MODERATORS TONIGHT.
AND IN SPITE OF WHAT THEY
WANTED. >> I THINK SO.
>> THIS IS WAS A DEBATE TONIGHT.
>> THERE WERE LITTLE JABS BUT A
GREAT CAMARADERIE AMONG
CANDIDATES.
>> MR. TRUMP, THANK YOU FOR
TAKING TIME.
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> WHEN WE COME BACK, MORE
"HANNITY" AS WE CONTINUE, FROM
LOS ANGELES, RIGHT AFTER THE BREAK.
