My phone call with Trump today | Newsmax CEO

you just spoke with the president of the united states what can you tell us well we had a really good phone call this afternoon chris the president called me from the oval office uh this afternoon and the first thing he said i want to congratulate newsmax on your incredible ratings he said i've been watching newsmax but i've also been seeing the data on the ratings he pointed out on some of our shows we've gone over 700 000 per minute viewers and uh he he said he thought it was terrific and that people and he knows he is quite critical of fox news and says everybody's telling me that i'm turning off fox and going to newsmax and i thought it was a great uh compliment to the work that you're doing chris and the rest of the newsmax team that even the president's noticed and that it's getting so widespread that uh people are tuning off fox what was his uh demeanor how did he did he seem upbeat did he seem confident in what's happening in the courts well i think he was pretty serious uh you know he he seemed to he seemed to be happy about new zealand's uh getting the ratings obviously he's in a political battle for his uh fight for his political life um and i might add that um the ratings came out on nielsen on monday and tuesday and that newsmax tv beat both fox business and cnbc combined for the whole evening and that was over two days we're beating them almost in every day part uh we're not as big as fox now but when you add in all the people that not only watch newsmax on cable tv but they're also watching us on their apps or or youtube or roku or other devices we're getting over a million people a minute at night tuning into newsmax it's a huge huge thing the president was very very happy about that he's not that happy about the election result but he's he's challenging it and look he has every right there's this election was about a half a plus percent in states like pennsylvania and arizona it was less than a quarter of a percent in the state of georgia and the president wants these recounts i think he has every legal right we're not denying uh the joe biden the victory if the state certified the electoral college gives them the election we're just saying that the president should have this uh this recount i was going to try to get to this with lieutenant governor dan patrick but just ran out of time the press and i wanted to get your comment on this it seems to have an evolving narrative the first they started off there's no voter fraud then they said there was very little voter fraud then they said well there's there's voter fraud but it's not enough to impact the election what do you make of this evolution and how that the majority of the press is regarding cheating at the ballot box well chris remember this is the same press that said in their polls that joe biden was going to win by a landslide eight to ten points everyone from cnn to even fox news and they all were wrong uh they're now claiming there's no real evidence of vote for there's a lot of evidence of vote fraud anecdotally we don't know how widespread it is part of it is they're not allowing the trump people to properly investigate and review the ballots how do you know if you can't look at the mail-in ballots in the state of pennsylvania they didn't allow the observers under state law they're allowed to review the ballots they weren't allowed to um the president raised in this conversation with me his concerns about the dominion computer software voting system that the dominion software is used in a number of the states which are in contests right now he was concerned about the accuracy of those he has every right to have a review of this this is america and the press the new york times says newsmax is guilty of voter denialism with denial denial of what i mean we're we're just saying it should be investigated in the states certify it properly when al gore had this happen in 2000 everybody was in favor of him in the media of him doing the recount nobody demanded he stop it yeah as a matter of fact it was brought up by one of our previous guests it was louie gohmert as a matter of fact who said you know hillary clinton out there claiming that her election was stolen from her and that's permitted everywhere even even over on the fox news channel yet all of a sudden you start talking about voter fraud in this cycle and people start getting cut off or the press secretary gets cut off it's just amazing i never seen anything like this i've never seen it is so it's sort of like eastern black old soviet style media that you would expect you know they didn't like something and they would just somebody would disappear off the screen uh that's sort of what it's like you know in august hillary clinton this past august gave an interview and she said if this election is lost by joe biden he should not concede under any circumstance that was her words under no circumstance should she could he concede why is that okay for joe biden to have that view if he loses but donald trump should immediately concede again it's five states it's less than a percentage point go through the normal recount what are they so afraid of i think the states will certify mostly by the end of november november 23rd the electoral college will meet in december we're not saying that joe biden's not going to be the president united states we're saying the electoral college should make that decision newsmax will support whoever is the duly elected president united states we're not going to deny joe biden if he wins that electoral college but i think the president has a real shot his point of view to me in the phone call today was he thinks there was very significant fraud and he thinks that in this recount challenge that he ultimately will prevail but he needs to have that opportunity to review the ballots chris reading always a pleasure talking with you sir and uh get back here as soon as you can appreciate it coming up
