SATURDAY NIGHT.
IT WAS INTERESTING TO ME.
I WATCHED YOU.
I THOUGHT YOU HAD A VERY GOOD
DEBATE AND WATCHED TED CRUZ.
EVERYBODY'S GOING AFTER MARCO
RUBIO.
IS IT BECAUSE THEY THINK YOU'RE
INEVITABLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE?
THEY THINK -- >> WELL THEY WERE GOING AFTER
HIM AND IT WAS SORT OF A TOUGH
NIGHT FOR HIM BUT THEY WERE
GOING AFTER HIM AN I WAS A
LITTLE SURPRISED.
I FELT QUITE GOOD ACTUALLY.
NOT BECAUSE THEY WENT AFTER HIM

EASY BUT NOBODY REALLY CAME
AFTER ME. >> AND THE ISSUE OF IMINNOCENTEMINENT

AN WE FOUND OUT THIS MORNING
THAT THEY USED THAT FOR ONE OF
HIS PARENT'S PROJECTS.
AND IN TEXAS THEY USED EMINENT
DOMAIN
DOMAIN PRIVATE.
HE'S EMBARRASSED. I HEARD HE'S LIKE A NERVOUS
WRECK.

MENTIONED HERE YOU DID NOT TAKE
THE WOMAN'S HOME.
>> NO.
WE NEVER TOOK IT.
COULD HAVE TAKEN IT.
COULD HAVE BOUGHT IT AT SOME
POINT. WE DIDN'T.
GOOD THING. ATLANTIC CITY WAS NOT EXACTLY A
THRIVING DESTINATION.
WORKED OUT WELL FOR ME.
I NEVER DID TAKE IT, NO.

NEW HAMPSHIRE YOU'RE DOING WELL
IN THE POLLS.
DOUBLE DIGIT LEAD BY EVERY POLL
AND HEADING INTO SOUTH CAROLINA
NEVADA AN SUPER TUESDAY.
WALK US THROUGH THE STRATEGY
THAT YOU THINK GETS YOU THE
NOMINATION.
>> WELL WE ARE GOING THROUGH A
PROCESS. WE LEFT IOWA.
I THINK WE DID REALLY WELL IN
IOWA ESPECIALLY AFTER WHAT
HAPPENED TO BEN CARSON WHICH WAS
FORTUNATE AND DID REALLY REALLY
WELL.
CAME IN A VERY STRONG STRONG AND
COME HERE AND WE SEEM TO BE
DOING WELL.
NEW HAMPSHIRE IS SPECIAL. I KNOW THE PEOPLE UP HERE.
I COME HERE A LOT AND HAVE
FRIENDS HERE AND GOING TO SOUTH
CAROLINA AND THEN GOING TO
NEVADA.
I SHOULD DO WELL.
SOUTH CAROLINA BEEN AMAZING.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE S.E.C.
BY THAT TIME I THINK SOMEBODY'S
GOING TO BE -- PEOPLE KNOW
WHAT'S HAPPENING AND I THINK AT
THE END THERE YOU'LL KNOW
WHETHER SOMEBODY'S GETTING IT OR
A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
WHY SEE A CONVENTION TO GO AND
START A FIGHT.
>> BROKERED CONVENTION.
>> I DON'T SEE IT. >> TRYING TO MAKE MONEY THROUGH
PUNDITRY. >> THAT'S INTERESTING.
>> SOMETHING STUCK OUT IN YOUR
SPEECH.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE
OFFERING YOU ADVICE I ASSUME.
YOU'RE YOUR OWN MAN, THOUGH.
YOU MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION AND
TELLING YOU DON'T GO TO IOWA.
YOU DECIDED TO GO ANYWAY.
TELL ME ABOUT THAT PROCESS.
WHAT WERE THEY TELLING YOU DON'T
GO TO IOWA?
>> I'M GLAD I DID GO.
WE HAD FUN THERE.
WE DID WELL THERE.
I GOT THE SECOND MOST VOTES IN
THE HISTORY OF THE CAUCUS THE
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
>> MORE THAN ANY OTHER WINNER IN
PAST CYCLE.
>> EVANGELICALS WERE GREAT.
JUST DID WELL.
WE WERE TOLD DON'T GO THERE.
I SAID I THINK IT IS FOR ME.
WE HAVE LOT OF DELEGATES.
SECOND MOST DELEGATES AN NOW WE
ARE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND I THINK
THAT'S GOING TO BE TREMENDOUS.
>> HILLARY CLINTON SAYS THAT
DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T THINK
AMERICA'S GREAT. CAMPAIGN SLOGAN IS MAKE AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO HILLARY?
>> AMERICA IS GREAT BUT IT
COULD -- LOOK. IT IS TROUBLED.
YOU REPORT ON IT EVERY SINGLE
NIGHT. >> I THINK WE ARE IN DECLINE.
>> WE ARE ABSOLUTELY IN DECLINE.
MY WHOLE CAMPAIGN IS MAKE
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
RIGHT NOW, WE ARE IN A LOT OF
TROUBLE. WE ARE BEING SCOFFED AT LAUGHED
AT BY EVERYBODY ON THE PLANET.
WE CAN'T EVEN BEAT ISIS IN A
WAR.
CAN YOU IMAGINE TELLING GENERAL
DOUGLAS MacARTHUR OR PATTON WE
CAN'T BEAT ISIS IN A WAR?
THEY WOULD BE SPINNING IN THEIR
GRAVE.
MINE IS A POSITIVE MESSAGE. PEOPLE SAY IT'S NEGATIVE.
IT'S VERY POSITIVE.
I GO AROUND WE HAVE THE BIGGEST
CROWDS OF ANYBODY.
NOBODY HAS CROWDS LIKE WE HAVE.
AND THE MESSAGE IS THAT WE'RE
GOING TO MAKE IT GREATER THAN
EVER BEFORE AND I REALLY BELIEVE
THAT. >> WHEN YOU MEET PEOPLE LOSING
THEIR HOMES, DON'T HAVE A JOB.
ALMOST 100 MILLION AMERICANS OUT
OF THE LABOR FERS.
>> TRUE.
>> THEY TELL YOU THEIR STORIES,
DOES THAT MOTIVATE YOU MORE TO
RUN? DOES THAT SAY JUSTIFY IN YOUR
MIND THIS IS WHY I GOT INTO
THIS? >> IT DOES MOTIVATE ME.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I COULD BE DOING SO MANY OTHER
THINGS RIGHT NOW.
IT IS WONDERFUL STANDING WITH
YOU AND TALKING TO YOU IN A
HOTEL ROOM. >> THERE ARE OTHER THINGS OTHER
PEOPLE? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?
>> DOING OTHER THINGS.
THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. BUT I WILL SAY THIS.
THERE IS SUCH POTENTIAL IN THIS
COUNTRY.
AND WHEN I SAY, YOU KNOW I HAVE
TO DO IT.
JUST I HAVE TO DO IT.
I'M A WORKER.
I'M SOMEBODY THAT UNDERSTANDS
HOW THINGS HAVE TO WORK.
>> YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THOSE
PEOPLE OUT OF WORK, IN POVERTY,
ON FOOD STAFFERMPS.
>> UNEMPLOYMENT LESS THAN 5%.
OKAY? YOU KNOW EVERYBODY LOOKS, THEY
LOOK AND LOOK FOR A JOB MONTHS
AND THEN GIVE UP AND THEY'RE
CONSIDERED STATISTICALLY
EMPLOYED.
IT'S 25%, 28%.
SOME PEOPLE SAY 42%.
THE ACTUAL EMPLOYMENT RATE.
AND YOU REPORT ON IT ALL THE
TIME.
CLOSE TO 100 MILLION PEOPLE.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GET THAT CALCULATOR IN WASHINGTON.
BUT USING IN IT YOUR BUSINESS
THEY'D SEND YOU TO JAIL.
>> THAT WAS DEVELOPED BEFORE
OBAMA TO MAKE PRESIDENTS LOOK
GOOD AND THE ECONOMY LOOK GOOD.
WHEN YOU HEAR LESS THAN 5%.
HONESTLY, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE
RUNNING. IF YOU HAD 5% UNEMPLOYMENT YOU
WOULDN'T HAVE CROWDS SHOWING UP
LIKE SHOW UP FOR THIS.
>> YOU GET TO THE WHITE HOUSE YOU'LL REMEMBER THE PEOPLE THAT
TOLD YOU ABOUT THE LOST JOB,
LOST HOME?
OLDER PEOPLE CAN'T LIVE IN NEW
YORK FOR EXAMPLE.
CAN'T AFFORD THE TAXES.
>> WE'RE BRINGING JOBS BACK FROM
CHOO THAT MEXICO VIETNAM.
THAT'S A NEW BUN.ONE.
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
BRINGING THE JOBS BACK.
KILLING US WITH EVALUATION AND
MANIPULATION OF THE CURRENCY.
ME I UNDERSTAND IT.
OBAMA, HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
>> IF I COULD GET YOU TO PROJECT
IN YOUR MIND WIN THE ELECTION
IN THE WHITE HOUSE, WHAT ARE THE
TYPE OF PEOPLE TO SURROUND
YOURSELF WITH? >> GREAT AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
WE HAVE THE BEST BUSINESS PEOPLE
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
USE THEM FOR TRADE.
WE HAVE POLITICAL HACKS.
MILITARY PICK THE PEOPLE.
WE'LL GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
NOT PEOPLE THAT GO ON EVEN YOUR
SHOW AND TALK ON YOUR SHOW.
I MEAN I SEE THE GENERALS --
>> GREAT PEOPLE.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT BUT THEY'RE ON
THE SHOWS.
YOU HAVE PRETTY GOOD ONES AN
RETIRED. I SEE PEOPLE GOING ON THE
DIFFERENT SHOWS AND THEY'RE
TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING
TO DO. I ALWAYS ENVISION OUR
GREAT GENERALS DO YOU THINK
THEY'RE GOING ON TALK SHOWS SS
DISCUSSING HOW TO FIGHT ISIS?
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT.
DO IT.
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT
THERE. WE HAVE POLITICAL PEOPLE AND WE
HAVE MANY POLITICAL HACKS.
THEY GET THE JOB BECAUSE THEY
GIVE CONTRIBUTIONS.
NOT GOING THE HAPPEN THAT WAY
ANYMORE. >> HILLARY PAID BETWEEN $225,000
A SPEECH AND $400,000 A SPEECH.
AND ALL OF THEM HAVE BUSINESS
WITH GOVERNMENT OR LOBBY IN SOME
CAPACITY. >> SHE'S BEEN TERRIBLE.
LOCK AT THE REPUBLICANS.
JEB BUSH SAID HE DOESN'T LIKE
THE IDEA OF SUPERPACS.
$117 MILLION ON SUPERPACS.
HE SAID HE WOULDN'T DO IT AGAIN.
IT'S BEEN ABUSIVE AND PEOPLE ARE
BEING ABUSED BY THEM.
BUT YOU LOOK AT THE KIND OF
MONEY BEING THROWN AROUND AND
THEN YOU LOOK AT HILLARY, WHAT
SHE HAS DONE AND TAKEN TO A
WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
>> WOULD YOU IF PRESIDENT GO TO
THE PRIVATE TRUST SECRET TRUST
WHERE YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE
BUSINESS? >> I WOULD DO THAT.
MY CHILDREN ARE CAPABLE.
I WOULD DO THAT.
AND MY EXECUTIVES AND MY
CHILDREN WOULD RUN MY COMPANIES.
>> YOU HAVE BEEN HARD ON THE OTHER CANDIDATES AT DIFFERENT
TIMES IN THE CAMPAIGN.
AS YOU LOOK AT THE SLATE OF
CANDIDATES 17, AND YOU'RE
LEADING IN THE POLLS, IF YOU WIN
THAT NOMINATION WON THE JOB,
WOULD YOU PICK SOME OF THOSE
GUYS TO WORK WITH YOU, HIRE
THEM? >> I WOULD. SOME ARE VERY GOOD AND CAN'T
TELL YOU.
>> SURE YOU CAN.
YOU CAN TELL ME WHATEVER YOU
WANT. YOU'RE DONALD TRUMP.
YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WENT.
>> SOME ARE VERY GOOD AND SOME I
DON'T HAVE MUCH RESPECT FOR.
TO BE HONEST.
I COULD SEE SOME OF THEM WORKING
WITH ME AND STRAIGHTENING OUT
THE COUNTRY AND MAKING AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN.
>> DO YOU GIVE THOUGHT TO A VP
CHOICE? >> NOT MUCH THOUGHT.
SO MANY REALLY GOOD TALENTED
PEOPLE. I WOULD HAVE MAYBE TWO OR THREE.
I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT.
I WANT TO THINK ABOUT CLOSING
THE DEAL.
I WANT TO CLOSE THE DEAL.
I WANT DO GET IT DONE.
GET IT CLOSED AND PLENTY OF
TIME.
I WOULD SPEAK TO LOTS OF PEOPLE
ABOUT IT.
>> WHO? >> INCLUDING YOU.
BY THE WAY.
>> RIGHT.
ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IN THE
ART OF THE DEAL IS ANY MOMENT
WILLING TO WALK AWAY.
NEVER WANT A DEAL THAT BAD.
>> WELL WE SHOULD HAVE WALKED
AWAY FROM THE IRAN DEAL FIVE
TIMES. WE COULD HAVE MADE THE DEAL SO
MUCH BETTERMENT THEY WERE
DANCING IN THE STREETS OF IRAN.
DANCING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
>> EMBARRASSING ISN'T IT?
>> NOT MADE YET BECAUSE JUST
THEY HEARD THE DETAILS AND TOLD
TO DO IT.
THEY NEGOTIATE, NEGOTIATE,
LOSING. I MEAN WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
DEALS, THAT'S ONE OF THE WORST.
BUT THERE ARE OTHERS.
ACTUALLY IRAN MAKING THE NEXT
BEST DEAL TAKING OVER IRAQ.
WE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO
TAKE OVER IRAQ. THAT'S A BETTER DEAL.
>> SFEE THE SUNNIS AND SAUDI
ARABIA WILL PROTECT THEIR OWN
TERRITORY, THEIR OWN LANDS AND
STAND UP AGAINST THE RISE OF THE
SHIA AND MULLAHS.
>> GOING IN YEMEN, TOOK OVER
YEMEN. THEY WANT YEMEN WITH THE NICE
BEAUTIFUL LONG BORDER.
THEY WANT THE OIL.
OKAY?
100%. >> ALL RIGHT. YOU GOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
WAITING FOR YOU.
I THINK YOU CAN THROW ME OUT.
I'M FIRED.
>> YOU CAN ALWAYS STAY.
HAVE A GOOD TIME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> APPRECIATE IT. >>> COMING UP SENATOR TED CRUZ
