WALMART, TARGET, BARNES & NOBLE. VERY SPECIAL LAURA INGRAHAM UP
NEXT. LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED,
AND EXCLUSIVE SITDOWN WITH PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
HAVE A GREAT NIGHT AND WE WILL SEE YOU BACK HERE TOMORROW
NIGHT. ¶
LAURA: I'M LAURA INGRAHAM AND THIS IS "THE INGRAHAM ANGLE"
FROM WASHINGTON TONIGHT. WELL, WELL, WELL, IT TOOK THE
PULSE TIGHTENING IN KEY STATES TO JOLT JOE BIDEN OUT OF HIS
BASEMENT TODAY. HE TRAVELED TO PITTSBURGH IN AN
ATTEMPT TO STOP THE POLITICAL BLEEDING FROM ALL THE ACTUAL
BLEEDING HAPPENING IN BLUE CITIES LIKE PORTLAND AND KENOS
KENOSHA. AND AFTER THREE MONTHS OF
ESSENTIALLY HIS INDIFFERENCE, BIDEN CALLED FOR AN END TO THE
VIOLENCE AND HE ATTEMPTED TO REBUFF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
CRITICISM THAT HE TOLERATED THE RIOTS AS LONG AS HE THOUGHT THEY
WERE HELPING HIM POLITICALLY. ASK YOURSELF, DO I LOOK LIKE
A RADICAL SOCIALIST WITH A SOFT SPOT FOR RIOTERS?
REALLY? LAURA: WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT, THAT'S NOT THE RELEVANT QUESTION.
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHAT'S IN BIDEN'S HEART, WHAT MATTERS
IS THIS. CAN YOU TRUST JOE BIDEN TO DO
WHAT IT TAKES TO STOP RIOTERS AND LOOTERS?
I DON'T THINK ANY BLUE STATE ELECTED OFFICIAL REALLY WANT TO
SEE THEIR CITIES DESTROYED BY RIOTS AND LOOTING, BUT MANY OF
THEM HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES TO BE TOTALLY WEAK WILLED AND THE
HARD LEFT HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THAT IMPOTENCE TO DO ENORMOUS
DAMAGE. SO THE QUESTION YOU HAVE TO ASK
YOURSELF IS THIS: WHEN THE RIOTERS COME FOR YOUR TOWN, AND
THEY ARE COMING, WILL BIDEN AND HIS TEAM DO ENOUGH TO STOP THEM?
AND THE ANSWER IS CLEARLY NO. LOOK AT SEATTLE, LOOK AT
PORTLAND, WISCONSIN, MINNESOTA, D.C., CHICAGO, AND OF COURSE
NEW YORK. TIME AND AGAIN DEMOCRATS HAVE
HAD THE CHANCE TO STOP THE RIOTS AND HAVE CONSISTENTLY FAILED.
REMEMBER, WE DON'T WANT A PRESIDENT WHO'S GOING TO FEEL
SORRY FOR US AND WHO QUOTES SCRIPTURE AT US AFTER OUR
BUSINESSES AND OUR NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BURNED DOWN.
WE NEED A LEADER WHO WILL STOP THE RIOTS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN.
AND JOE BIDEN IS NOT THAT LEADER.
FOR NOW, THE RIOTS HAVE BEEN LIMITED TO THE BLUE STATES.
BUT WITH BIDEN IN CHARGE, THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS GOING TO LOOK
LIKE PORTLAND. NOW WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SIT
DOWN WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW EARLIER
TODAY. HERE'S PART ONE OF THAT
INTERVIEW, WHICH WILL COMPRISE OUR ENTIRE HOUR TONIGHT.
SO ENJOY. LAURA: MR. PRESIDENT,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.
ON FRIDAY, TED WHEELER, THE MAYOR OF PORTLAND, SENT A LETTER
TO YOU SAYING BASICALLY WE DON'T WANT YOUR HELP, YOU MAKE MATTERS
WORSE, SATURDAY, ONE OF HER SUPPORTERS IS MURDERED IN
PORTLAND BY IT LOOKS LIKE A SUSPECTED ANTIFA INDIVIDUAL.
AND THEN ON SUNDAY, WHEELER COMES OUT, AND BIDEN AND
ESSENTIALLY TRIES TO BLAME SHIFT TO YOU FOR THE VIOLENCE THERE.
YOUR REACTION? SPEAK OF THESE ARE TERRIBLE AND
VERY INCOMPETENT PEOPLE. PORTLAND HAS BEEN BURNING FOR
MANY YEARS, FOR DECADES IT'S BEEN BURNING, BUT NOW IT'S
GOT -- I WATCHED THE MAYOR TRY AND GET IN WITH THESE PEOPLE AND
HE WENT TO A PROTEST AND THEY ALMOST KILLED HIM.
IF HE DIDN'T HAVE SECURITY, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD, JUST LIKE
THEY WOULD HAVE DONE TO RAND PAUL, WHO'S A GREAT GUY,
AND HIS WIFE, KELLY. IT'S A DISGRACE WITH HAPPENING.
WE SENT IN HOMELAND SECURITY. THE REASON WE SENT THEM AND WAS
TO PROTECT OUR COURTHOUSE. WE HAVE A $300 MILLION
COURTHOUSE AND THEY WANTED TO BLOW UP OUR COURTHOUSE OR BURN
IT DOWN. TAKE YOUR CHOICE, BLOW IT UP OR
BURN IT DOWN, THEY SAID AND I SAID NO, NO, THAT'S NOT
HAPPENING, SO THEY WOULDN'T PROTECTED BECAUSE THE MAYOR SAID
HE DOESN'T CARE, SO WE SENT IN OUR HOMELAND PEOPLE, THEY DID A
GREAT JOB. IMMEDIATELY HOMELAND SECURITY.
IMMEDIATELY IT WAS PROTECTED, AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THEY
WERE THERE. I'VE OFFERED TO SEND IN THE
NATIONAL GUARD. I'VE OFFERED TO SEND THEM
ANYBODY THEY WANT, I COULD PUT THAT IN 45 MINUTES AND IT WOULD
STOP. AND I THINK THE PEOPLE OF
PORTLAND AND THE PEOPLE OF OREGON, I KNOW IT'S A LIBERAL
STATE, THEY ARE TIRED OF IT. THEY ARE TIRED OF LIVING WITH
THIS CURSE. THEY ARE LIVING WITH A CURSE.
THEY SAY THAT WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE STREETS OF PORTLAND,
THIS IS YEARS AND YEARS OF BURNING --
LAURA: THE LAST 90 DAYS IT'S BEEN REALLY --
PRESIDENT TRUMP: IT'S BEEN HORRIBLE.
BUT IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS.
IT'S LIKE -- I WON'T NAME THE CITY, BUT IT'S A CITY SOMEPLACE
IN THE WORLD THAT'S NOT SO GOOD. IT'S A TERRIBLE SITUATION.
LAURA: THE OREGON GOVERNOR SAID NO ONE IS SAFE AND
DONALD TRUMP 'US AMERICA. THEY'RE TRYING TO TURN THE
TABLES ON YOU AFTER MONTHS OF -- THEY ARE NOT REALLY SAYING MUCH
OF NOT TO THE VIOLENCE. PRESIDENT TRUMP: BUT THEY
WON'T REALLY CRITICIZE ANYBODY THAT'S A VIOLENT PERSON, THEY
STICK UP FOR THE VIOLENCE. THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTING
HURT, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THESE
PEOPLE. IT'S A WEIRD THING, IT'S LIKE
WARPED MINDS AND FOR THE LAST 93 DAYS, I'VE BEEN OFFERING TO
SEND -- AS YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE OFFER.
THEY HAVE TO ASK TO HAVE HELP. I'VE BEEN STANDING AND I'VE BEEN
SAYING ANYTIME YOU'RE READY -- LAURA: WHAT'S MOTIVATING
THEM, MR. PRESIDENT? PRESIDENT TRUMP: I THINK
IT'S A SICKNESS. I THINK IT'S FEAR.
THE WAY THEY TREATED THIS MAYOR, WHEELER, WHEN HE WAS STANDING
THERE AND I'LL TELL YOU HOW UNFAIR THE NEWS IS.
NBC NEWS DIDN'T SHOW THAT HE WAS BEING SHOUTED AT AND CURSED AT
AND HE RAN -- LITERALLY HAD TO RUN FOR HIS LIFE BECAUSE THEY
WERE GOING TO REALLY HURT HIM. HE HAD SECURITY, IF HE DIDN'T --
LAURA: THEY SHOWED UP AT HIS APARTMENT BUILDING.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: HOW HE CAN STILL STICK UP FOR HIM, I THINK
THERE IS A FEAR, AFRAID. LAURA: ARE THEY AFRAID THAT
OREGON COULD BE IN PLAY BECAUSE OF PEOPLE'S CONCERN ABOUT LAW
AND ORDER, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I THINK LIKE THE MAYOR, I THINK IS
PROBABLY AFRAID FOR HIS LIFE BECAUSE IF YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN
HIM BUT I WILL SHOW YOU HOW DISHONEST, NBC NEWS PUT ON --
AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PEOPLE SHOUTING, THEY HAD THEM STANDING
THERE AND THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW IT WAS A SHOW OF GREAT UNITY,
THE MAYOR STANDING WITH THE PEOPLE.
THEY WERE SAYING THINGS THAT I CAN'T REPEAT RIGHT NOW, BUT
HORRIBLE THINGS, BUT THEY DIDN'T PUT THAT ON.
I ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO SEE THE REAL TAPE ON FOX.
HE ESCAPED WITH HIS LIFE AND YET HE DOESN'T WANT ANY HELP.
IT'S SO UNFAIR TO THE PEOPLE OF OREGON.
WE COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM QUICKLY, LIKE I DID IN KENOSHA.
YOU KNOW KENOSHA WENT THROUGH THREE OR FOUR DAYS -- YOU
WOULDN'T HAVE A KENOSHA RIGHT NOW.
WE DEMANDED THAT THEY SEND IN THE NATIONAL GUARD, CALL THE
GOVERNOR, AND IN ALL FAIRNESS, THE GOVERNOR DID IT.
NOT ENOUGH, BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO PUT IT OUT AND WE ULTIMATELY PUT
IN -- WE HAD A THOUSAND PEOPLE AND WE PUT IT OUT QUICKLY.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE KENOSHA RIGHT NOW.
LAURA: IN PITTSBURGH TODAY, JOE BIDEN GAVE A SPEECH AND HE
SPOKE DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS VIOLENCE.
HE MAY BELIEVE THE WORDS LAW AND ORDER MAKES THEM STRONG, BUT
HIS FAILURE TO CALL ON HIS OWN SUPPORTERS TO STOP ACTING AS AN
ARMED MILITIA IN THIS COUNTRY SHOWS HOW WEAK HE IS.
LAURA: YOUR RESPONSE TO THE VICE PRESIDENT?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: LOOK, HE'S A WEAK PERSON, HE'S BEEN WEAK
ALL HIS LIFE BUT NOW HE'S REALLY WEAK.
HE SHOULDN'T BE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, HE SHOULD NOT BE
THERE -- LAURA: BUT DO YOU WANT YOUR
SUPPORTERS TO CONFRONT THE LEFT-WING PROTESTERS OR DO YOU
WANT TO LEAVE IT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I WANT TO LEAVE IT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT
MY SUPPORTERS ARE WONDERFUL, HARDWORKING, TREMENDOUS PEOPLE
AND THEY TURN ON THEIR TELEVISIONS AND THEY LOOK AT A
PORTLAND OR A KENOSHA BEFORE I GOT INVOLVED AND STOPPED IT.
OR THEY LOOK AT CHICAGO WERE 78 PEOPLE WERE SHOT LAST WEEKEND
AND NUMEROUS PEOPLE DIED, OR THEY LOOK AT NEW YORK WHERE
VIOLENCE IS UP BY, WHAT, 150%. IT'S UP BY A NUMBER -- AND
PEOPLE ARE LEAVING. THEY'RE LOOKING AT ALL OF THIS
AND THEY CAN'T BELIEVE IT. THEY CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
WHETHER IT'S MY SUPPORTERS ARE NOT.
LAURA: YOU DON'T WANT THEM SHOWING --
PRESIDENT TRUMP: IT'S A PEACEFUL PROTEST.
THEY WERE PROTESTING. YOU KNOW IT'S AMAZING.
THEY WANT A PROTEST AND THEY GET CRITICIZED.
THE OTHER PEOPLE RUN THROUGH THE STREETS, BURNED-OUT STOREFRONTS,
BEAT PEOPLE AND KILL PEOPLE, KICK PEOPLE IN THE FACE, THAT
WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO RAND PAUL BY THE WAY AND HIS WIFE AND THEN
YOU HAD TO GO AND ULTIMATELY FORGO VERY GOOD POLICEMAN WHO
TOOK A BIG BEATING. THEY TOOK A BIG BEATING AND THEY
REALLY SAVED RAND PAUL. WE ARE GOING TO BRING HIM INTO
THE WHITE HOUSE AND GIVE HIM SOME KIND OF ACCOMMODATION
BECAUSE THEY REALLY -- WHAT THEY DID WAS VERY BRAVE, ACTUALLY.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THEM SAYING POLICEMAN WERE BRAVE BECAUSE
THEY WERE ESCORTING, BUT THEY ARE ESCORTING A U.S. SENATOR AND
HIS WIFE AND AS HE SAID, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THEY
WEREN'T THERE. SPEEONE'S INDENTURE ALSO,
MR. PRESIDENT THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN IN THEIR OWN WAY
INCITING THIS VIOLENCE AGAINST INDIVIDUALS IS ALMOST AS LONG AS
YOU'VE BEEN IN OFFICE. IF YOU SEE ANYBODY FROM THAT
CABINET, YOU GET OUT AND YOU [INDISCERNIBLE] AND YOU TELL
THEM THEY ARE NOT WELCOME ANYMORE ANYWHERE.
PLEASE, GET UP IN THE FACE OF SOME CONGRESSPEOPLE.
THERE NEEDS TO BE UNREST IN THE STREET.
THE DOMESTIC ENEMIES OF OUR VOTING SYSTEM AND AREN'T
HONORING OUR CONSTITUTION RIGHT AT 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE WITH
THEIR ALLIES IN THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: IT'S NOT ONLY THE DEMOCRATS, IT'S THE
MEDIA. THE FAKE NEWS.
THE NEWS IS SO FAKE. THE MAYOR, WHERE THEY MAKE IT
LOOK LIKE IT'S A GREAT UNITY THING WHEN ACTUALLY THEY WERE
CURSING AT HIM AND THEY WOULD HAVE DONE BIG NUMBERS, BUT THEY
DON'T SHOW THAT, THEY SHOW THE MAYOR STANDING WITH THESE VERY
TOUGH THUGS AND HE WAS GOD, OKAY?
THEY SAVED HIM. NBC SHOWS THAT LIKE IT'S UNITY
WITH THE PEOPLE. I DON'T GET IT, I DON'T KNOW WHY
THEY'RE DOING IT AND I WILL SAY THIS.
AT SOME POINT, I WILL NOT BE PRESIDENT.
HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE IN FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, BUT I WILL NOT
BE PRESIDENT AND THEY'RE GOING TO DIE, THEY'RE ALL GOING TO
DIE. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THEY HAD TO
COVER SLEEPY JOE BIDEN? IT WON'T BE VERY MUCH FUN, BUT
MORE IMPORTANTLY, OUR COUNTRY WOULD GO TO HELL, OUR
STOCKMARKET WORK CRASH AND ASSURANCE ARE SITTING THERE, WE
WILL HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE WE'VE NEVER HAD BUT IF YOU TAKE
KENOSHA AND OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THAT I DON'T EVEN TALK
ABOUT -- I COULD SHOW YOU THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE TO STOP THIS
KIND OF A THING THAT'S HAPPENING IN PORTLAND AND HAPPENING IN
CHICAGO AND HAPPENING IN OTHER PLACES.
LAURA: MOST RED STATES ARE COOPERATING AND THINGS ARE
RELATIVELY CALM IN RED STATE AMERICA, BUT BIDEN SAID AGAIN
TODAY IN PITTSBURGH THAT ESSENTIALLY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
BE SAFE IN DONALD TRUMP'S AMERICA.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: SO, IF IT WEREN'T DONALD TRUMP'S AMERICA,
TO JUST USE THE EXPRESSION AS ON PRESIDENT, YOU WOULD HAVE RIOTS
LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE LOST CONTROL
OF THE RADICAL LEFT AND IF YOU LOOK AT BERNIE AND -- I CALL IT
THE MANIFESTO THAT WAS AGREED TO WITH BIDEN, THAT'S FURTHER LEFT
THAN BERNIE EVER WAS. IT WON'T BE ABLE TO CONTROL
THESE PEOPLE. THESE PEOPLE HAVE LOST CONTROL
OF THESE PEOPLE AND THAT'S HURTING THEM.
DON'T FORGET, BIDEN WASN'T GOING TO COME OUT OF HIS BASEMENT
UNTIL THE ELECTION. NOW HE HAD TO BECAUSE THE POLLS
ARE SO GOOD FOR ME. NOW HE HAD TO BECAUSE THE POLLS
ARE DIFFERENT, SO ALL OF A SUDDEN HE'S IN PITTSBURGH.
HE WASN'T GOING TO LEAVE HIS BASEMENT, THEN HE SAID OKAY,
HE'S LEAVING, BUT HE WON'T LEAVE FOR TEN DAYS.
TEN DAYS IS A LONG TIME, SO IN THE MEANTIME LIKE ON SUNDAY AND
SO IS SATURDAY, I'M IN TEXAS, I'M IN LOUISIANA.
I WAS GOING TO STOP IN TWO OTHER PLACES, ARKANSAS WASN'T HIT VERY
MUCH, ET CETERA, ET CETERA. I WOULD HAVE STOPPED, BUT I'M
ALL OVER THE PLACE. I LEAVE EARLY IN THE MORNING, I
GET LAID HOME AT NIGHT AND THAT'S WHAT DO HAVE PRESIDENT.
LAURA: TOMORROW YOU'RE GOING TO KENOSHA, WISCONSIN, THE
SCENE OF SO MUCH UNREST LATELY. AND THE GOVERNOR SAYS HE DOESN'T
WANT YOU TO COME. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO
BE SEEN BY THE PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN NOW?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: BECAUSE I AM A TREMENDOUS FAN OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND I WANT TO THANK THE LAW ENFORCEMENT.
THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB AND WHEN THE GOVERNOR SAYS THAT I
SHOULDN'T COME, OR THAT HE WOULD PREFER THAT I DON'T COME.
I'M THE ONE THAT CALLED AND SAID TONY, YOU'VE GOT TO BRING UP THE
NATIONAL GUARD. I DON'T REALLY WANT TO DO IT.
TONY, YOU'VE GOT TO BRING IT OUT AND UNLIKE YOUR GOVERNOR OF
OREGON, THAT JUST KEEP SAYING NO, HE AGREED TO IT.
HE AGREED TO A SMALL NUMBER BUT THE SMALL NUMBER WAS PLENTY.
LAURA: ISN'T IT POLITICAL MOTIVATION?
THEY DON'T WANT TO COME TO BOOST IN AMERICA BECAUSE THEY DON'T
WANT THE MEDIA TO HAVE TO COVER WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING ON THE
GROUND. ISN'T THIS POLITICAL?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: BLUE STATE AMERICA, BLUE CITY AMERICA, YOU
LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON IN NEW YORK, YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S
GOING ON IN THE STATES, CHICAGO IS A DISASTER.
PORTLAND, YOU LOOK AT PORTLAND AND PORTLAND IS LITTLE
DIFFERENT. THAT'S ANARCHISTS AND I ACTUALLY
THINK IN MANY WAYS THAT'S EASIER TO HANDLE.
I THINK PORTLAND IS VERY EASY TO HANDLE BECAUSE THAT'S A GROUP OF
ANARCHISTS THAT ARE PAID BY THE OUTSIDE AND YOU KNOW, WE PUT A
LOT OF PEOPLE IN JAIL. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS A
OR NOT. THREE OR FOUR MONTHS AGO WE HAD
A PROBLEM WITH MONUMENTS. LAURA: DEMOCRATS DIDN'T SAY
ANYTHING. PRESIDENT TRUMP: ACTUALLY
GOT OUT OF CONTROL EVEN FOR THEM.
I SIGNED IN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER, TEN YEARS IN JAIL IF YOU KNOCKED
ON A STATUE OR MONUMENT. YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ONE THING
ABOUT IT. WE WOULDN'T HAVE -- THEY WERE
GOING AFTER THOMAS JEFFERSON. THERE WERE GOING AFTER LINCOLN
AND THEY WERE GOING AFTER THE TE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
AND I ACTUALLY DON'T EVEN THINK THEY KNOW.
I THINK THEY'RE JUST THUGS. IT MAY BE AN IDEOLOGY, AND IT
MAY NOT. IT IS AN IDEOLOGY FOR THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE PAYING THEM AND THE FUNNY THING IS AND THE STRANGE
THING IS, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE PAYING THEM ALL THIS MONEY
BECAUSE SUMMIT IS DOING IT -- LAURA: WHAT ABOUT THE
CORPORATIONS? SPEECH OF THE PEOPLE PAYING
THEM, THEIR LIVES WILL BE TAKEN AWAY, THEIR LIVES WILL BE IN
DANGER. THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE GONE,
THEY ARE JUST STUPID FOOLISH PEOPLE THAT MADE A LOT OF MONEY.
LAURA: CORPORATIONS HAVE GIVEN AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF
MONEY, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO BLACK LIVES MATTER.
WHICH IS ALL OVER A LOT OF THESE PROTESTS.
SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ABOUT THESE CORPORATIONS, WHY ARE THEY
PAYING THAT MONEY OUT? PRESIDENT TRUMP: BECAUSE
THEY ARE WEAK PEOPLE. MANY CASES.
LAURA: WEEK PEOPLE? PRESIDENT TRUMP: HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS -- LAURA: WHEN YOU SAY THERE
WEEK, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? PRESIDENT TRUMP: THEY JUST
DO WHAT'S THE EASIEST PATH. THAT'S A VERY DANGEROUS PATH.
BLACK LIVES MATTER IS A MARXIST ORGANIZATION.
YOU REMEMBER PIGS IN A BLANKET, FRY THEM LIKE BACON.
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD OF BLACK LIVES MATTER.
I SAID THAT'S A TERRIBLE NAME, IT'S SO DISCRIMINATORY.
IT'S BAD FOR BLACK PEOPLE, IT'S BAD FOR EVERYBODY AND ALL OF A
SUDDEN IT BECOMES LIKE SORT OF -- ALTHOUGH NOW IF YOU LOOK,
IT'S GONE WAY DOWN BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THIS STUFF,
WHAT'S GOING ON, IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING OVER THE BATS AND
THERE ARE A LOT OF THUGS. LAURA: D.C. LAST NIGHT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: IT'S TERRIBLE WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT
BLACK LIVES MATTER CAME INTO EXISTENCE WALKING DOWN THE
STREET SCREAMING "PIGS IN A BLANKET, FRY THEM LIKE BACON"
AND THAT WAS ABOUT POLICE OFFICERS.
THAT WAS REPRESENTING POLICE. THEY WERE PIGS.
PIGS IN A BLANKET LIKE THE SAUSAGES OR HOT DOGS.
LAURA: [INDISCERNIBLE] IT'S GOTTEN --
PRESIDENT TRUMP: DID IT GET WORSE?
LAURA: DOJ'S ROLE IN TRYING TO REALLY HIT THE
LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCELERATOR HERE AGAINST THESE GROUPS, A LOT OF
THESE INDIVIDUALS COMING INTO WISCONSIN HAVE BEEN TRACKED AS
OUT-OF-STATE, THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED.
CAN DOJ DO MORE -- WHAT COULD THEY DO TO REALLY START PUTTING
THE FEAR OF GOD IN THESE VIOLENT -- NOT THE PEACEFUL
PROTESTERS, BUT VIOLENT PROTESTERS?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: THEY HAVE UNDER INVESTIGATION -- I WILL
SHOW YOU. I HAD THIS BECAUSE OF THIS VERY
IMPORTANT INTERVIEW WITH YOU, I WILL GIVE THIS TO YOU,
KANSAS CITY, VIOLENCE HAS DECREASED BY A THIRD SINCE THE
INITIATIVE BEGAN AND INDIANAPOLIS, GUNS CONFISCATED,
MORE THAN 1,000 ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE INITIATIVE.
DOJ IS ADDRESSING VIOLENCE AND CRIME ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BUT
YOU DON'T READ THAT. THE FBI AND ATF ARE ASSISTING
THE PORTLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT, YOU CAN'T DO MUCH WHEN YOU HAVE
ABSOLUTELY NO COOPERATION. LAURA: IF THEY DON'T THINK
THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO JAIL FOR TEN YEARS FOR DOING WHAT THEY'RE
DOING, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP DOING IT, SO HOW DOES A
TRUMP REELECTION CALM THINGS DOWN IN THE UNITED STATES?
BIDEN SAYS IT WILL CALM THINGS DOWN, HOW WILL THE TRUMP
ELECTION CALM THINGS DOWN? WHY WON'T HE CALM THINGS DOWN?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: THEY WON'T CALM THINGS DOWN, THEY WILL TAKE
OVER. IF BIDEN GETS AND THEY WILL HAVE
WON. HE'S A WEAK PERSON, HE'S
CONTROLLED LIKE A PUPPET. IT'S NOT GOING TO CALM THINGS
DOWN, IT'S GOING TO BE THEY WILL HAVE WON.
THEY WILL HAVE TAKEN OVER YOUR CITIES.
IT'S A REVOLUTION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.
IT'S A REVOLUTION AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY WILL NOT STAND
FOR THAT. IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO STAND
FOR THAT. THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE FEEL
LIKE ME. EVERY TIME I PUT "LAW & ORDER"
UP ON SOCIAL MEDIA, IT GETS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE POSITIVE RESPONSE.
THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY WILL NOT STAND FOR IT.
IF YOU SAY CALM THINGS DOWN, YEAH, CALM THINGS DOWN BECAUSE
THEY WILL HAVE TAKEN OVER. TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON.
BIDEN IS -- I DON'T EVEN LIKE TO MENTION BIDEN BECAUSE HE'S NOT
CONTROLLING ANYTHING. LAURA: WHO DO YOU THINK IS
PULLING HIS STRINGS? IS A FORMER OBAMA OFFICIALS?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: PEOPLE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF, PEOPLE
WHO ARE IN THE DARK SHADOWS. LAURA: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN,
THAT SOUNDS LIKE CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: PEOPLE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF.
PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE STREETS, PEOPLE THAT ARE CONTROLLING THE
STREETS. WE HAD SOME TO GET ON A PLANE
FROM A CERTAIN CITY AND IN THE PLANE IT ALMOST COMPLETELY
LOADED WITH DOGS WEARING THESE DARK UNIFORMS, BLACK UNIFORMS
WITH GEAR AND THIS AND THAT, THEY ARE ON A PLANE.
I WILL TELL YOU SOMETIME, BUT IT'S UNDER INVESTIGATION RIGHT
NOW. BUT THEY CAME FROM A CERTAIN
CITY AND THIS PERSON WAS COMING TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONVENTION. THERE WERE LIKE SEVEN PEOPLE IN
THE PLANE LIKE THIS PERSON AND THEN A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE IN THE
PLANE TO DO BIG DAMAGE. LAURA: PLANNING FOR
WASHINGTON. PRESIDENT TRUMP: THIS IS
ALL HAPPENING. LAURA: BUT THE MONEY IS
COMING FROM SOMEWHERE. HOW CAN IT BE TRACKED?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: SOME VERY STUPID RICH PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO
IDEA THAT IF THERE THING EVER SUCCEEDED, WHICH IT WON'T, THEY
WILL BE THROWN TO THE WOLVES LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
LAURA: STILL AHEAD, PRESIDENT TRUMP REMINDS US OF
THE RACIAL UNREST DURING THE OBAMA-BIDEN ERA AND THEIR TOTAL
INABILITY TO STOP IT. PLUS, I PRESSED HIM ABOUT HIS
PLANS FOR RACIAL OUTRAGE DURING A SECOND TERM.
STAY RIGHT THERE.
I AM ROBERT STRICKLER.
I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN COMMUNICATIONS IN THE MEDIA
FOR 45 YEARS.
I'VE BEEN TAKING PREVAGEN ON A REGULAR BASIS
FOR AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS.
FOR ME, THE GREATEST BENEFIT OVER THE YEARS HAS BEEN
THAT PREVAGEN SEEMS TO HELP ME RECALL THINGS
AND ALSO THINK MORE CLEARLY.
AND I ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMEND PREVAGEN.
IT HAS HELPED ME AN AWFUL LOT.
PREVAGEN. HEALTHIER BRAIN. BETTER LIFE.
¶ LAURA: WOMEN VOTERS.
SO IMPORTANT TO REACH OUT TO THEM, WHETHER YOU'RE A
REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT. YOU HAVE A DEFICIT AMONG WOMEN
VOTERS. PRESIDENT TRUMP: BUT THAT'S
WHAT THEY SAID LAST TIME. LAURA: LET'S SAY FOR THE
SAKE OF ARGUMENT YOU HAVE A DEFICIT AMONG FEMALE VOTERS WHO
MAY BE IN SOME CASES, YOU'RE TOO AGGRESSIVE, YOUR TONE OR YOUR
TWEETS, WHAT YOU SAY TO THEM DIRECTLY ABOUT WHAT YOU'LL DO IN
A SECOND TERM? PRESIDENT TRUMP: OKAY, I
HAVE TO BE AGGRESSIVE. BECAUSE I'M LIKE STANDING HERE
IN A SEA OF INCOMPETENT PEOPLE, STUPID PEOPLE AND VIOLENT
PEOPLE. LAURA: BUT THAT'S THE KIND
OF LANGUAGE -- A LOT OF WOMEN DON'T LIKE THAT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: WHERE ARE WE?
WE ARE IN THE WHITE HOUSE, I SEE.
OKAY? SO I'M STANDING HERE IN A SEA OF
PEOPLE AND WE NEED LAW AND ORDER IN THIS COUNTRY AND WOMEN SEE
THAT WITH ME. YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE LAW
AND ORDER WITH BIDEN. FERGUSON.
PEOPLE FORGET I'M A LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE HORRIBLE RACE RIOTS YOU
HAD DURING OBAMA. FERGUSON IS JUST ONE THAT COMES
TO MIND, BUT YOU HAD THEM ALL THE TIME.
LOOK AT ALL OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH BROWN AND THIS ONE AND THAT
ONE. LOOK AT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS YOU
HAD UNDER OBAMA. IT WAS A DISASTER.
IT WAS ACTUALLY WORSE THAN ANYTHING -- THIS IS A MUCH
DIFFERENT SITUATION. AGAIN, THE ANARCHISTS IN
PORTLAND ARE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S GOING ON IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO CAN BE SOLVED, I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT MORE
DIFFICULT TO SOLVE. I THINK THE ANARCHISTS IN MANY
WAYS ARE MUCH MORE SOLVABLE. BUT FOR WOMEN, MORE THAN
ANYTHING ELSE, THEY WANT SECURITY, THEY WANT SAFETY.
HAVE TO HAVE SAFETY. THE TALK ABOUT SUBURBAN WOMAN.
WHAT I DID RECENTLY, I ENDED THE REGULATION THAT PROVIDED
LOW-INCOME HOUSING THAT MANDATED --
LAURA: THAT WAS OBAMA'S ROLE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: IT WAS A DISASTER.
LAURA: DO YOU THINK THE SUBURBS ARE IN DANGER IF BIDEN
IS ELECTED? WE ALREADY KNOW THE CITIES ARE
IN DANGER BUT THE SUBURBS IN DANGER BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT'S
VERY MONGERING. PRESIDENT TRUMP:
WESTCHESTER WAS GROUND ZERO WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO DO.
THEY WERE TRYING TO DESTROY THE SUBURBAN BEAUTIFUL -- THE
AMERICAN DREAM, REALLY. THEY WANT LOW-INCOME HOUSING AND
WITH THAT COMES A LOT OF OTHER PROBLEMS, INCLUDING CRIME.
LAURA: YOU'RE NOT SAYING THEY ARE CRIMINALS THOUGH?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I'M NOT SAYING THAT AT ALL BUT THERE IS
A LEVEL OF VIOLENCE THAT YOU DON'T SEE, SO YOU HAVE THIS
BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY IN THE SUBURBS, INCLUDING WOMEN, RIGHT?
WOMEN, THEY WANT SECURITY. I ENDED WHERE THEY BUILD
LOW-INCOME HOUSING PROJECT IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
IF BIDEN GETS IN, HE'S ALREADY SAID IT'S GOING TO GO IN A MUCH
HIGHER RATE AND YOU KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE IN CHARGE OF IT?
CORY BOOKER. THAT'S GOING TO BE NICE, OKAY?
SO I THINK THAT WOMEN ARE GOING -- FOR A LOT OF OTHER
REASONS, THE STOCK MARKETS WILL CRASH.
AS SURE AS YOU'RE SITTING THERE, YOUR 401(K)S WILL GO DOWN TO A
SMALL PERCENTAGE OF WHAT THEY ARE --
LAURA: BIDEN SAYS HE'S NOT GOING TO RAISE TAXES ON ANYONE
MAKING $400,000 A YEAR. PRESIDENT TRUMP: HE'S GOING
TO DO $4 TRILLION IN TAX INCREASES.
IS GOING TO DO THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO CAUSE SO MUCH -- THE
GREEN NEW DEAL, WHICH IS DONE BY A CHILD.
THAT'S THE MIND OF A CHILD, BECAUSE THE GREEN NEW DEAL IS
RIDICULOUS. IT DOESN'T WORK.
THEY'RE GOING TO DO THINGS -- THE GREEN NEW DEAL IF YOU
ACTUALLY DID IT IS $100 TRILLION.
THAT'S MORE MONEY THAN THIS COUNTRY COULD MAKE IN A THOUSAND
YEARS. LAURA: ALL THE GREAT PAYING
JOBS, PRESIDENT TRUMP: RIPPED ON A BUILDING AND BUILD A
NEW ONE WITH NO WINDOWS, OKAY? PRESIDENT TRUMP: THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY, YOU'VE MADE MORE STRIDES IN
OUTREACH TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS THAN I THINK OF ANY
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT IN MY LIFETIME.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY
TONIGHT ABOUT YOUR COMMITMENT TO DOING MORE IN THE SECOND TERM,
AND WHAT WILL THAT INCLUDE? PRESIDENT TRUMP: I'VE DONE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM. I SAVED THE HISTORICALLY BLACK
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. THEY WENT THERE FOR YEARS,
INCLUDING OBAMA. PRISON REFORM, CRIMINAL JUSTICE
REFORM. LAURA: NEXT TERM.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: OPPORTUNITIES.
MORE OF THE SAME. I ACTUALLY SAID IN THE SPEECH,
THE BEST IS YET TO COME. I'VE BEEN TREATED VERY WELL, AT
LEAST IN THE POLLS, I HOPE THAT TRANSLATES, BECAUSE
UNFORTUNATELY, THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN, THE BLACK
COMMUNITY HAS BEEN SO USED TO GOING AND PRESSING A DEMOCRAT
LEVER, AND WHAT HAVE THEY GOT OUT OF IT?
THEY'VE GOT NOTHING. OBAMA DIDN'T GIVE THEM CRIMINAL
JUSTICE REFORM, I DID. OBAMA DIDN'T GIVE THEM
OPPORTUNITY ZONES, I DID. OBAMA DIDN'T DO ALL OF THE
THINGS -- OBAMA COULD HAVE SAVED THE HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES
AND UNIVERSITIES. HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THEM.
AND I'VE SET IT IN THE SPEECH, SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY YOU
SHOULDN'T SAY IT, IT'S TOO AGGRESSIVE, AND I SAY WHAT'S
AGGRESSIVE? I'VE DONE MORE THAN ANY
PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY EXCEPT FOR MAYBE -- AND
I SAY MAY BE -- MAYBE ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
THE REASON I SAY MAY BE AS I WILL EXPLAIN THAT TO YOU LATER,
OKAY? I'VE DONE MORE FOR THE BLACK
COMMUNITY THAN ANY PRESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, AND IT'S TRUE.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM WAS SUCH A BIG DEAL AND LOOK WHAT BIDEN
DID IN 1994. WHAT HE DID TO PEOPLE, TO BLACK
PEOPLE -- LAURA: HE CALLED THE
CRIMINALS PREDATORS. PRESIDENT TRUMP: HE CALLED
THEM SUPER PREDATORS, ACTUALLY. LAURA: SO WHEN YOU SEE THE
UNREST ON THE STREETS, SO MUCH OF IT IS DRIVEN BY AN ANTIPATHY
TOWARDS LAW ENFORCEMENT. MORE AFRICAN-AMERICANS ARE
STOPPED BY THE POLICE, THE STATISTICS THAT ARE CITED OVER
AND OVER AGAIN. WHAT CAN YOU SAY TO THOSE
FAMILIES WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS AND WHO ARE WORRIED?
THEY ARE WORRIED BECAUSE THEY THINK THEIR SONS OR EVEN THEIR
DAUGHTERS COULD BE TARGETED, BECAUSE I KNOW -- I'VE KNOWN YOU
FOR A LONG TIME. YOU DON'T WANT THAT.
IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO ALL BE TREATED EQUALLY, BUT THEY HAVE A
CARICATURE OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS AND YOU'RE THE LEADER OF THE
PARTY. WHAT YOU SAY TO THEM ABOUT THAT
MISCHARACTERIZATION? PRESIDENT TRUMP: WHAT THE
BLACK COMMUNITY WANTS IN THIS COUNTRY AS THEY WANT POLICE AND
THEY WANT "LAW & ORDER." THEY DON'T WANT WHAT'S HAPPENING
TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. THEY'RE BEING AFFECTED IN A MUCH
HARSHER, MEANER MANNER THAN ANYBODY ELSE.
THAT INCLUDES HISPANICS, WHERE I'M DOING VERY WELL ALSO.
LOOK, THEY WANT "LAW & ORDER." THEY WANT THE POLICE.
THEY DO POLLS IN THE POLLS ARE AT 82, 83%.
THEY WANT THE POLICE. THEY'VE GOTTEN ALONG WITH THE
POLICE AND THE POLICE HAVE BEEN VERY BADLY MISTREATED BECAUSE
YOU GOT ONE BAD APPLE AND IT BECOMES THE STORY FOR WEEKS.
LAURA: ST. LOUIS AFRICAN-AMERICAN POLICE OFFICER
SHOT IN THE HEAD, ANOTHER AFRICAN-AMERICAN JUST KILLED
YESTERDAY. PRESIDENT TRUMP: THAT'S
TRUE. THAT'S TRUE.
KILLED. LAURA: IT'S MORE DANGEROUS
TO BE A POLICE OFFICER TODAY, DO YOU NOT THINK THAN IT HAS BEEN A
LONG TIME? SPEECH OF THE POLICE ARE UNDER
SIEGE. THEY CAN DO 10,000 GREAT ACTS,
WHICH IS WHAT THEY DO, AND ONE BAD APPLE OR A JOKER -- A
JOKER -- CHOKER. SHOOTING THE GUY IN THE BACK
MANY TIMES. I MEAN, COULDN'T YOU HAVE DONE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT, COULDN'T YOU HAVE WRESTLED HIM?
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IN THE MEANTIME HE MIGHT'VE BEEN GOING
FOR A WEAPON. THERE'S A WHOLE BIG THING THERE,
BUT THEY CHOKE JUST LIKE IN A GOLF TOURNAMENT, THEY MISS A
3-FOOT -- LAURA: YOU'RE NOT COMPARING
IT TO GOLF. PRESIDENT TRUMP: I'M SAYING
PEOPLE JOKE. AND PEOPLE ARE BAD PEOPLE.
YOU'RE BOTH. IF YOU HAVE SOME BAD PEOPLE AND
THEY CHOKE. YOU COULD BE A POLICE OFFICER
FOR 15 YEARS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE CONFRONTED.
YOU'VE GOT A CORNER OF A SECOND TO MAKE A DECISION.
IF YOU DON'T MAKE THE DECISION AND YOU'RE WRONG, YOU'RE DEAD.
PEOPLE CHOKE UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES AND THEY MAKE A
BAD DECISION. I'VE SEEN BAD DECISIONS OF
PEOPLE THAT IT LOOKED BAD BUT PROBABLY IT WAS A CHOK.
IT NOT ONLY THE VAST MAJORITY -- THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF GREAT
ACTS IN ONE BAD ONE AND YOU MAKE THE EVENING NEWS FOR WEEKS.
LAURA: I KNOW YOU REACHED OUT TO JACOB BLAKE'S MOM AND SHE
SAT ON CAMERA SHE WAS SORRY SHE MISSED THE CALL.
SHE RESPECTS THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY, HAVE YOU TRIED TO
TALK TO HER AGAIN AND WOULD YOU TALK TO HER?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: THE CALL IS BEING MADE, AS I UNDERSTAND
IT. LAURA: FANTASTIC.
LAURA: COMING UP, THE PRESIDENT'S FIERY RESPONSE TO
HIS COVID CRITICS, SUCH AS ANDREW CUOMO, PLUS, WHAT BIDEN
ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN ANY DEBATE TO THE PRESIDENT OFFERS
HIS THOUGHTS. STAY THERE.
BOTTOM LINE IS,
MOM'S LOVE THAT LAND O' FROST PREMIUM SLICED MEATS
HAVE NO BY-PRODUCTS.
(HIS VOICE) "BALONEY!"
(AUTOMATED VOICE) HAS JOINED THE CALL.
(VOICE FROM PHONE) HEY, BALONEY HERE.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A NO BY-PRODUCTS CALL?
LAND O' FROST PREMIUM. FRESH LOOK. SAME GREAT TASTE.
I'M A TALKING DOG.
THE OTHER ISSUE.
OH...I'M SCRATCHING LIKE CRAZY.
YOU'VE GOT SOME ALLERGIC ITCH WITH SKIN INFLAMMATION.
APOQUEL CAN WORK ON THAT ITCH IN AS LITTLE AS 4 HOURS,
WHETHER IT'S A NEW OR CHRONIC PROBLEM.
AND APOQUEL'S TREATED OVER 8 MILLION DOGS.
NICE.
AND...THE TALKING DOG THING?
IS IT BOTHERING YOU?
NO...ITCHING LIKE A DOG IS BOTHERING ME.
UNTIL DOGS CAN SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, YOU HAVE TO.
WHEN ALLERGIC ITCH IS A PROBLEM, ASK FOR APOQUEL.
APOQUEL IS FOR THE CONTROL OF ITCH ASSOCIATED WITH
ALLERGIC DERMATITIS AND THE CONTROL OF
ATOPIC DERMATITIS IN DOGS.
DO NOT USE APOQUEL IN DOGS LESS THAN 12 MONTHS OLD
OR THOSE WITH SERIOUS INFECTIONS.
APOQUEL MAY INCREASE THE CHANCE OF DEVELOPING
SERIOUS INFECTIONS AND MAY CAUSE EXISTING PARASITIC
SKIN INFESTATIONS OR PRE-EXISTING CANCERS TO WORSEN.
DO NOT USE IN BREEDING, PREGNANT, OR LACTATING DOGS.
MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECTS ARE VOMITING AND DIARRHEA.
FEELING BETTER?
I'M SPEECHLESS. THANKS FOR THE APOQUEL.
AW...THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR.
ASK YOUR VETERINARIAN FOR APOQUEL
NEXT TO YOU, APOQUEL IS A DOG'S BEST FRIEND.
¶ LAURA: IN NEW YORK, A PLACE
WHERE YOU LIVED, YOU GREW UP AS A LITTLE BOY AND NOW IN
NEW YORK CITY WE'VE HAD A WOMAN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, THEY TRIED TO
RAPE HER. ANOTHER SHOOTING AT LIKE 46TH
AND LEX TODAY. NEW YORK, WHAT DOES THAT DO
PERSONALLY GIVING YOUR LIFE? PRESIDENT TRUMP: VERY SAD.
LAURA: WHAT DOES THAT DO TO PERSONALLY?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: AND THE PROSECUTORS GO AFTER PEOPLE FOR
POLITICAL REASONS BUT IF SOMEBODY KILLED SOMEBODY,
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. THE PROSECUTORS IN NEW YORK ARE
OUT OF CONTROL. THEY'RE OUT OF CONTROL.
THEY GO AFTER POLITICAL PEOPLE. CUOMO AND YOUR STATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL UNDER PROSECUTORS.
LAURA: THEY ARE TARGETING YOU.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: THEY TARGET ME.
I WON EVERYTHING IN WASHINGTON. NOW I GOT TARGETED IN NEW YORK.
LAURA: ATTEMPTED RAPE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: THAT'S THE PEOPLE THEY SHOULD GO AFTER.
AND HAVE HAVE TO PUT THAT PERSON AWAY.
LAURA: HOW DO YOU PUT NEW YORK BACK TOGETHER AGAIN?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: YOU NEED A YOUNGER VERSION OF RUDY
GIULIANI. A GREAT MAYOR, HE DID A GREAT
JOB. I THINK PEOPLE ARE REALLY
BEGINNING TO -- I SAW THE OTHER NIGHT, RUDY, WE LOVE YOU, RUDY.
THEY ARE DESPERATE FOR A YOUNGER VERSION -- SHOULD PROBABLY PUT
RUDY BACK NOW, HE'S GREAT. BUT YOU GET A YOUNGER VERSION OR
A YOUNGER VERSION OF RUDY GIULIANI, YOU NEED A TOUGH,
SMART GUY. RUDY WAS ALWAYS FAIR, BUT TOUGH
AND SMART AND HE WORKED 24 HOURS A DAY AND IT WAS ALL ABOUT
CRIME. HE HAD TO GET THE CITY BACK BUT
THE CITY NOW, IT'S AMAZING, BECAUSE I COULD SEE IT
HAPPENING. YOU KNOW I LEFT NEW YORK, I HAD
TO LEAVE NEW YORK BECAUSE I'M BEING -- I'M BEING TARGETED.
IT'S HORRIBLE WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
I WON IN WASHINGTON -- LAURA: DO YOU THINK YOU
COULD WIN IN NEW YORK? WHAT YOU CAMPAIGN?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I'M GOING TO GIVE NEW YORK A VERY GOOD
SHOT BECAUSE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO VOTED AGAINST ME LIKE ME NOW YOU
KNOW I WON UP STATE BIG, I WON LONG ISLAND.
ALL THE OUTSIDE OF THE LITTLE CIRCLE IN THE MIDDLE, WHICH IS
CRAZY BECAUSE I BUILT SO MANY THINGS THERE, BUT OUTSIDE OF
THAT CIRCLE -- AND I SAID IT THE OTHER DAY, I CAN'T BELIEVE THESE
PEOPLE ARE HAPPY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'RE HAPPY,
BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LEAVING.
BECAUSE OF DE BLASIO AND BECAUSE OF CUOMO, THEY ARE
FLEEING NEW YORK. LAURA: GROUND ZERO FOR
COVID THERE AND YOU SEEM TO HAVE A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH
ANDREW CUOMO DURING THE COVID -- THE HEIGHT OF THE COVID
PANDEMIC. PRESIDENT TRUMP: I GAVE HIM
MORE THAN HE ASKED FOR AND ALL THEY ARE AS NASTY.
LAURA: YEAH, BUT NOW IS COMING AFTER YOU SAYING IT'S
YOUR MISMANAGEMENT THAT'S GOTTEN US INTO THIS MESS.
WHAT DO YOU -- HOW DO YOU -- PRESIDENT TRUMP: THE GOOD
NEWS IS HE HASN'T GOTTEN VERY FAR WITH THAT.
KILLED 11,000 PEOPLE WITH BAD DECISIONS ON NURSING HOMES.
HE'S THE NUMBER ONE STATE IN THE COUNTRY BY FAR FOR DEATH.
PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, WORLD FOR DEATH.
YOU TAKE NEW YORK OUT OF THE EQUATION I THINK WE HAVE AMONG
THE BEST NUMBERS ANYWHERE BUT YOU TAKE NEW YORK, WE HAVE THE
BEST NUMBERS IN THE WORLD COUNTRY-WIDE.
NO, ANDREW SAID I DIDN'T INCREDIBLE JOB.
ANDREW SAID EVERYTHING THAT HE ASKED FOR -- AS AN EXAMPLE, THEY
WANT THE SHIP, I GOT THEM THE SHIP.
THEY WANT THE JAVITS CENTER, THEY DIDN'T EVEN USE IT.
THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THOSE SENIOR CITIZENS, PUT THEM IN THE
SHIP, THEY COULD HAVE DONE SO MUCH, BUT HE WAS DESPERATE FOR
JAVITS CENTER. THEY WANTED FOUR REGIONAL
HOSPITALS. THESE BEAUTIFUL TEMPORARY, THE
ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB, SO DID FEMA.
WE GOT THEM EVERYTHING. AND THEN, SAME THING WITH
DE BLASIO. I NEVER SPOKE TO DE BLASIO
BEFORE AND THEN I SPOKE TO HIM TEN TIMES.
HE'D CALL, CAN WE HAVE THIS? YES.
COULD WE HAVE THAT? YES.
COULD WE HAVE DOCTORS? HE WANTED ME TO SEND DOCTORS AND
NURSES TO A HOSPITAL, I GOT IT. I DID SO MUCH AND THEN WHAT
HAPPENS? HE DOES A BLACK LIVES MATTER
SIGN IN FRONT OF TRUMP TOWER. LAURA: DOES THAT BOTHER
YOU, THAT SIGN? PRESIDENT TRUMP: PEOPLE ARE
VANDALIZING IT, PEOPLE ARE SO ANGRY, IT'S BUILT SUCH ANGER.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING, THEY ARE THROWING PAINT ON IT,
BECAUSE IT WAS MEANT AS A BAD THING.
WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR DE BLASIO IS INCREDIBLE.
WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR CUOMO, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.
NEW YORK IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. LAURA: DO YOU THINK THEY'RE
REALLY WORRIED ABOUT COVID GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE HAD TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF PROTESTERS IN WASHINGTON ON FRIDAY, LOTS OF
BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTERS? A LOT OF THEM HAD MASKS BUT THE
OBVIOUS AND WEREN'T SOCIALLY DISTANCE.
THEY WERE ALL PACKED IN TOGETHER AND THERE'S NO CONCERN, BUT THEN
THEY CALLED THE RNC IS SUPER-SPREADER?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: RIGHT. LAURA: IS THE LEFT REALLY
FREAKING OUT ABOUT COVID OR IS THIS MORE OF A POLITICAL CONCERN
GOING INTO THE ELECTION? PRESIDENT TRUMP: I THINK
THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE ELECTION BECAUSE LAW AND ORDER
HAS INCREASED MY PAUL NUMBERS A LOT.
WE'VE DONE A GREAT JOB IN COVID BUT WE DON'T GET THE CREDIT.
WE WORKED FOR THE GOVERNORS. THE GOVERNORS HAVE GOTTEN
EVERYTHING THEY WANTED, EVERY VENTILATOR, WE HAD EMPTY
CUPBOARDS WHEN I GOT THERE. AS THEY SAY, THE CUPBOARDS WERE
BARE. I THINK THEY'RE GOING CRAZY OVER
THE ELECTION. I THINK THEY'RE SEEING WHAT'S
HAPPENING. I MEAN, JOE BIDEN OUT TODAY GOES
TO PITTSBURGH, RIGHT? SO HE GOES TO PITTSBURGH.
HE WASN'T SCHEDULED TO LEAVE EVER, THEN HE SAID HE'S GOING TO
LEAVE, THREE OR FOUR DAYS AGO, BECAUSE HIS BALLS ARE GOING LIKE
THIS, RIGHT? LAURA: WILL HE DEBATE YOU?
DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO DEBATE YOU?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I KNOW HE'D LIKE NOT TO.
I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I HAVE PEOPLE REPRESENTING US --
LAURA: I THINK PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SAY HE'S NOT GOING TO
DO WELL OR HE CAN'T -- I DON'T KNOW.
HE'S BEEN IN PUBLIC LIFE FOR 40 YEARS.
LAURA: WHAT IS STRANGE, I WATCHED THE VARIOUS DEBATES WHEN
HE WAS RUNNING AGAINST ALL THESE PEOPLE AND THEY WERE KILLING
HIM. HE WAS SO BAD.
BUT AGAINST BERNIE -- LAURA: BUT YOU'LL BE
DEBATING THE MEDIA, WILL YOU NOT?
WHY NOT HAVE NO MODERATORS, WHY NOT JUST YOU AND BIDEN?
LAURA: I WOULD RATHER HAVE THAT.
FIRST OF ALL, THE MEDIA IS UNBELIEVABLE.
BUT WHAT I'D LIKE, THAT WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE DEBATE, TWO GUYS
STANDING ON A STAGE AND YOU JUST DEBATE IT OUT.
I KNOW HE'D LIKE NOT TO DO THE DEBATES.
I THINK HE PROBABLY HAS TO. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GET OUT OF
THE DEBATES. I THINK YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO.
LAURA: STILL TO COME, IF HE HAD TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN,
WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKE DR. ANTHONY FAUCI THE FACE OF
THE NATION'S COVID RESPONSE? HIS SURPRISING ANSWER IN
MOMENTS.
¶
ON MY SECOND AND FOURTH DEPLOYMENTS
THERE WERE TSUNAMIS IN THE WORLD.
AND ONCE THEY HAPPENED,
WE WERE IN A MAJOR HURRY
TO GET TO THOSE REGIONS
TO PROVIDE AID AND SUPPORT.
IT WAS VERY HUMBLING
TO BE ABLE TO HELP OUT ALL THOSE PEOPLE.
IT'S MY DREAM NOW
TO GO INTO CLEAN ENERGY
AND WHATEVER THE NEXT NEW FUEL SOURCE IS,
THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO BE.
I WANT TO BE ON THE FRONT LINES OF IMPLEMENTATION.
¶ LAURA: ON THE FLU VACCINES
IN MASSACHUSETTS, THEY ARE MANDATING THAT CHILDREN GET FLU
VACCINES IN ORDER TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
THERE'S A CONTROVERSY ABOUT THAT, A LOT OF PARENTS ARE LIKE
WE DON'T WANT OUR KIDS TO GET THE FLU VACCINE BURIED ARE YOU
WORRIED THAT ON THE PUSH FOR VACCINES, THESE FAST VACCINES
FOR COVID, YOU MIGHT BE SPLITTING A COALITION OF
AMERICAN FRANKLY IN BOTH PARTIES WHO AREN'T COMFORTABLE?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: ONCE YOU GET TO A CERTAIN NUMBER -- WE
USE THE WORD "HERD." ONCE YOU GET TO A CERTAIN NUMBER
IT'S GOING TO GO AWAY, SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE, BUT YEAH, I
MEAN A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO DO IT.
LAURA: SHOULD IT BE MANDATORY?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I NEVER HAD THE FLU BUT I NEVER HAD A
SHOT. I NEVER HAD A VACCINE.
I COME THE FIRST DAY -- SIR, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FLU SHOT.
I SAID WHY? BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT.
I SAY WHAT'S THE PERCENTAGE? I WASN'T THRILLED WITH THE
PERCENTAGE. IT'S LIKE 50%.
LAURA: DR. FAUCI SAID IT MIGHT NOT GIVE "GREAT
PROTECTION" BECAUSE IT'S A CORONAVIRUS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I SAID IF I'VE NEVER HAD IT, WOULDN'T IT
BE GOOD TO? AND THEN I THOUGHT I SHOULD HAVE
IT -- I'VE HAD IT NOW THREE TIMES.
AND I STILL HAVEN'T HAD THE FLU. SO MAYBE I WILL GIVE CREDIT TO
THE FLU VACCINE. I DON'T KNOW.
I WILL SAY THIS. I THINK WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A
VACCINE VERY SOON. A LOT OF TREMENDOUS WORK HAS
BEEN DONE. A VACCINE JUST LIKE WE HAVE
THERAPEUTICS, WHICH TO ME ARE EVEN MORE IMPORTANT.
YOU GOING TO THE HOSPITAL TO MAKE PEOPLE BETTER.
THAT'S TO ME, THE MOST -- AND WE JUST DID THE CONVALESCENT
PLASMA. I THINK -- AND YOU HAVE OTHER
THINGS TOO SO I THINK WE WILL HAVE A LOT OF THERAPEUTICS WE
ARE GOING TO HAVE A VACCINE VERY SOON.
AS TO WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE TAKE IT --
LAURA: 35% SAY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE THE COVID VACCINE.
THEY SHOULDN'T BE MANDATORY. PRESIDENT TRUMP: TO THE
PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD IT AT ALL THE OTHER THINGS, PEOPLE THAT
HAVE HAD IT WHERE IN THEORY YOU CAN'T GET IT, ONE PERSON AND
THEY ARE MAKING A BIG DEAL. ONE PERSON GOT IT TWICE, BUT IF
YOU ATE IT ALL UP IT GIVES A VERY GOOD PROTECTION.
LAURA: BIDEN SAID HE WOULD CHECK ON THE ECONOMY AGAIN IF
THE SCIENTISTS SAID THAT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO IN THE FIGHT
AGAINST COVID. WOULD YOU?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I THINK IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS STATEMENT
FOR HIM TO MAKE. WE DID THE RIGHT THING.
WE SHUT IT DOWN AND WE BUILT IT UP AND WE ARE SETTING RECORDS
AND JOB NUMBERS, RECORDS AND RETAIL NUMBERS, SO THIS GUY
COMES IN. I HEARD AT THE OTHER DAY.
THAT MEANS THAT IF SOME DOCTOR SAID WE HAVE TO SHUT IT DOWN, WE
ARE GOING TO SHUT IT DOWN. WE ARE SETTING RECORDS.
BY THE WAY, THE STOCK MARKET IS AT AN ALL-TIME RECORD RIGHT NOW.
YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE STOCK MARKET, LOOK AT WHAT'S
GOING ON. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A
PHENOMENAL YEAR NEXT YEAR, WE WILL HAVE A GREAT THIRD QUARTER.
INTERESTINGLY, THE NUMBERS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER WILL COME OUT
BEFORE THE ELECTION. LAURA: ARE YOU WORRIED IF
SOMETHING HAPPENS IN THE MARKET -- TRUMPETS PUSHING THE
MARKET? PRESIDENT TRUMP: I CAN TELL
YOU WHAT IS HAPPENING. NANCY PELOSI DOESN'T WANT TO
GIVE ANY STIMULUS. WE SHOULD HAVE IT, IT WASN'T THE
PEOPLE'S FAULT THAT CHINA GIVE US THE VIRUS.
WHETHER IT WAS THROUGH -- LAURA: THEY THEY CALLED A
DOMESTIC ENEMY, ENEMY OF THE STATE.
HOW DO YOU WORK WITH HER ON ANOTHER STIMULUS?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I ALWAYS TELL HER TO GO BACK TO
SAN FRANCISCO, TAKE CARE OF YOUR HOMELESS PROBLEM, TAKE CARE OF
YOUR PROBLEM IN CALIFORNIA BECAUSE IT'S NOTHING LIKE WHAT
I'M WITNESSING OUT THERE, RIGHT OUTSIDE, RIGHT WHERE SHE LIVES,
RIGHT IN HER DISTRICT IS SO BAD. LAURA: STIMULUS ARE NOT?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FOR THE PEOPLE BECAUSE
IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT BUT SHE DOESN'T WANT TO GET IT BECAUSE
THAT WILL MAKE THE ECONOMY A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND THAT WILL
BE A TERRIBLE THING. LAURA: IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT
ALL AGAIN -- I KNOW IT'S KIND OF A HARD QUESTION, BUT DO IT ALL
AGAIN, WOULD YOU PUT FAUCI FRONT AND CENTER EVERY DAY IN CHARGE
OF THE CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE? PRESIDENT TRUMP: I GET
ALONG WITH THEM VERY WELL, I DISAGREE WITH HIM, A LOT OF WHAT
HE SAID. KEEP IT OPEN FOR CHINA AND HE
ADMITS IT. I GET ALONG WITH THEM, BUT EVERY
ONCE IN A WHILE HE WILL COME UP WITH ONE THAT I SAY WHERE DID
THAT COME FROM? I INHERITED HIM, HE WAS HERE, HE
WAS A PART OF THIS HUGE PIECE OF MACHINERY -- I DIDN'T PUT
ANYBODY IN CHARGE. HE WAS HERE.
HE'S BEEN HERE FOR 40 YEARS. LAURA: '84.
1984. PRESIDENT TRUMP: HE'S BEEN
HERE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. YOU INHERIT A LOT OF PEOPLE,
IT'S PART OF THE MACHINERY AND YOU HAVE SOME YOU LOVE, SOME YOU
DON'T. I LIKE HIM, I DON'T AGREE WITH
HIM THAT OFTEN, BUT I LIKE HIM. LAURA: WHEN YOU LOOK BACK
ON THE LAST FOUR YEARS IN THE FIRST THREE WERE IMPEACHMENT,
MUELLER, PANDEMIC, INVESTIGATIONS, WHAT DO YOU SAY
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT THEY DON'T SEE WHEN THEY'RE
DOING INTERVIEWS LIKE THIS? HOW YOU COPE WITH THIS CONSTANT
BARRAGE FROM THE HILL? IS ALWAYS BACK AND FORTH, THAT'S
FINE, BUT IT'S BEEN DIFFERENT FOR YOU.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: IT'S BEEN DIFFERENT BECAUSE I'VE
ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH. ON THE MILITARY HAVE
ACCOMPLISHED -- FIRST OF ALL, BRINGING MANY OF THE TROOPS
HOME, EVEN CUTTING DOWN GERMANY, OKAY, BECAUSE THEY'VE TAKEN
ADVANTAGE OF US LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.
IT'S BEEN DIFFERENT FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT REASONS.
I THINK PRIMARILY BECAUSE I'VE ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH.
LAURA: A LOOK I HAD TO PART TWO OF OUR INTERVIEW WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN MOMENTS.
¶ LAURA: THAT WRAPS UP PART
ONE OF MY EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, BUT
TOMORROW NIGHT IT GETS EVEN BETTER.
JOIN US AGAIN AT 10:00 P.M. TOMORROW FOR PART TWO OF THE
INTERVIEW, INCLUDING HIS RESPONSE TO BIDEN'S LAME ATTEMPT
TO BLAME TRUMP FOR THE PARTIAL SHUTDOWN OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL.
ALSO HIS THOUGHTS ON BILL BARR AND WHAT WE MIGHT EXPECT FROM
VARIOUS INVESTIGATIONS BEFORE THE ELECTION.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO MISS IT.
THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE FOR TONIGHT, SHANNON BREAM AND THE
FANTASTIC "FOX NEWS @ NIGHT" TEAM TAKE IT ALL FROM HERE.
SHANNON. ¶
