Trump on McConnell, Biden and Fauci, what he'd do in a possible 2nd term | Newsmax EXCLUSIVE

mr president thank you for sitting down with us uh this experiment of joe biden is president it's only been four months and in the short four months america is enduring numerous crises both abroad and at home it seems our country is deteriorating very fast even faster than i would have thought your reaction well it's pretty obvious you look at what's going to happen is even scarier the border is a disaster we had the strongest border we've ever had and within a month it became the weakest and now you have tens of thousands of people flowing into our countries and many are criminals frankly released from jails in numerous countries we have people coming in from the middle east we have people coming in from everywhere you go to the airport you have to show how you're doing you come through the southern border and you just walk in we're the strongest southern border ever and it's very sad to see uh the wall was so important you know we built almost 500 miles of wall and within a month it would have been finished and they ended it they ended it took two and a half years to get the approvals to do it i had to go to court i had to do everything we got the approvals and so you have open spots and it's ridiculous i hear they're going to close them up but now it's a big deal with the contractors because those deals were those those transactions were made it was all complete but you look at so many other things uh it's very sad to see what's happening inflation is going to be a big problem it's going to drive a lot of things up and down whichever is worse because uh bad things happen with inflation but you see that happening all over lumber the cost of lumber the cost of gasoline you look at gasoline what's happened i was at 287 was was high that's when i got involved right and uh it was in the threes and a little bit in the fours and then i got came in and i had it under two dollars i had it for a dollar eighty seven actually and when i left it was under two dollars substantially and now it's it's going to be hitting four dollars and that's bigger than any tax increase you can think of especially for middle-income people so a lot of bad things are happening i don't think we're respected in the world right now there were never moves on taiwan by china now you have bombers flying over taiwan russia would have never encircled ukraine like they did kim jong-un was somebody that i had a great relationship with we weren't going to have any problem with him in my opinion and now you look at what's going on there a lot of bad things are happening i want to ask you about the wuhan lab new reporting this week from the wall street journal about workers there being so sickened as far back as november of 2019 that they were hospitalized the corporate media now the shameful biased corporate media is starting to come around to recognize that perhaps that is the origin in fact of the china virus even dr fauci is changing his tune do you feel vindicated well i said it right at the beginning that's where it came from i think it was obvious to smart people that's where it came from i have no doubt about it i had no doubt about it i was criticized by the press because china has a lot of people taken care of they took care of hunter they took care of joe they took care of everybody didn't they and people didn't want to say china usually they blame it on russia it's always russia russia russia but i said right at the beginning it came out of wuhan and that's where all the deaths were also by the way when we first heard about this there were body bags dead people laying all over wuhan province and that's where it happened to be located so to me it was very obvious i said it very strongly and i was criticized and now people are agreeing with me so that's okay when it comes to china the more we learn about their malfeasance regarding the virus and what they knew very early on and lied to the world about is it important for the united states that we make them pay a real penalty for what they did well we have to be stronger than what we are right now right now what's going on is just very unfortunate uh you know i put massive taxes and tariffs on china we took in tens of billions of dollars and they're talking about taking them off uh you look at the military they're building it's going to be you know just so it's so big what they're doing and they're doing it with money they take out of the united states and what i did was incredible with china we really set them back and i don't want to send them back i want to have a let everybody do well our farmers did well the deal i made with china was incredible for our farmers and for manufacturers and everybody else and you see that the farmers are doing better than they've ever done because of what's being bought from china but when the china virus came or kovit came whatever you want to call it there a lot of different names i won't go into all of them but when they came steve it was a whole different ball game where that when that horrible virus flew over the oceans or came however it came in remember i closed our country to china way early much earlier than pelosi or anybody wanted it to happen including dr faucio i always got along with pretty well but i usually did the opposite of what he wanted he said the vaccine would take three to five years and probably wouldn't even happen right and i got it done in less than nine months i think that's one of the great achievements and i think another great achievement i think the best bet ever made was i bought billions and billions of dollars of vaccine before we knew it worked before we had it approved because otherwise we'd be waiting until october of this year so well you probably got vaccinated most people did a lot of people did a lot of people are going to and we have some out there that don't want to and that's their freedom i mean that's what it's all about that's their freedom i would recommend that they do it but that's their freedom we're very proud of what we've done but if you look at the world i think this could have been another spanish flu from 1917 where up to 100 million people died this was going to this was only going to be getting worse and uh the vaccine has just made i see numbers today are that we're doing better than we have now and here because of the vaccine because people it's stopping it's stopping this plague from spreading and going further other countries are behind us we were way early if you remember a very important time when this started everybody was saying look at india how well india's doing well they're not doing well look at other countries they talked about france they talked about spain they talked about different countries look how they're doing now even taiwan is being hit very hard but that any country that was doing better than us they'd use that as an example we did an incredible job with this horrible with getting you getting the ventilators and getting the outfits and the goggles and the masks and all of the things you had to do we did an incredible job but they'd always say the fake news look at india they used to use india as the biggest because it was a big country and they were doing fine then but boy they are they've gotten hit harder than anybody ever thought possible but they'll get better because of the vaccines the vaccine is the biggest thing that's happened and second to that would be one of the best bets ever made and that was the bet of billions and billions up to 12 billion dollars worth of uh paraphernalia but also you know for the bottles we got the injection apparatus but most importantly we got the vaccine and we bought it early because it takes so long to manufacture so instead of uh having one now people would be getting you'd start the process on october 1st so that was a great bet that saved possibly you know tens of millions of lives worldwide mr president you mentioned gasoline and uh the specific statistics are on election day it was 220 a gallon national average according to department of energy right now it's 311 that's a massive move incredibly quickly since election day i want to ask you about inflation no more broadly because you did business in the 1970s the last time the u.s saw really aggressive inflation a lot of people if they're young have never operated in that kind of environment in america uh what does this portend for americans this new biden inflation spike well it's going to be ugly when you look at the cost of a house just the materials for a house it's up 30 or 40 percent in the last few months especially lumber lumber they say you can't even get it perhaps they're closing down all their forests for environmental reasons i disagreed with that i said let's buy our lumber from ourselves so we go to canada and canada is a very good they are very good negotiators in canada i did the usmca which was one of the great achievements because nafta was so bad it was so horrible worst trade deal ever made although the deals they made with china were pretty bad too i will tell you that but the worst trade deal ever made and i got it done so we have a great trade deal now but they close up forests they don't want to take down any trees so we end up buying them from other countries and the lumber's gone through the roof the lumber i guess as much as anything but everything steel you look at what's going on with pricing and obviously you're going to have inflation gasoline is going to stop at six seven dollars i think based on what i'm seeing we were energy independent when i left and right now i would have to say we are no longer energy independent we're putting windmills all over the place which caused a fortune which by the way if you're a believer in the carbon footprint and all of the other things when they make these windmills which are all made in china and germany by the way they're all made in china germany we don't do them here they put them together we put them together here we don't make them here what goes into the air when they make them is more than anything that can ever be saved while we're here if you're a believer in that okay some people aren't some people aren't but we have windmills all over the place they ruin the environment they kill the birds and they cost a fortune we have natural gas cost us nothing actually nothing they burn it off when you're looking at all of the those flames on top of the wells that's natural gas that they burn off they throw away and we have it for nothing other countries don't have that we have it for nothing the richest in the world and we want to give that away for windmills you look at some of these beautiful farms where they have windmills all over the place and you look at these incredible landscapes and now they're putting them in parts of massachusetts where a lot of people aren't so happy about it and has a lot of negative impacts i'm not a big fan of wind it's very very expensive you see what happened in texas where they actually froze up on them get a little cold and they froze now we have tremendous resources and solar is going to get better but it's very expensive right now wind has a place but it's got a much smaller place what they're doing you put them in industrial areas maybe but to put them all over these incredible landscapes of our country they're destroying our country sure i think that texas situation was a wake-up call for a lot of people if it could happen in energy-rich texas right well especially in texas because they have so much and it's for nothing i mean they literally are burning it off it costs nothing somebody was giving me an analogy that natural gas is one cent per however they measure it wind is 50 cents and 55 cents solar is 56 cents so here we have it for one cent but it's probably almost nothing delivery is probably the biggest thing we have it it's there it's a natural byproduct we have it wind is so much more expensive sure and remember this when those windmills after 10 years they have to be replaced and they start to rust and rot and you go out to palm springs california and you take a look at those wind farms out there they look like junk yards it's really a terrible thing and somebody led this country i had it slowed down but now they're really gearing up to do a lot of wind and that's not a good thing now staying on this broad topic of the economy i want to ask you about big business and specifically big tech because a lot of these firms i would say most of these firms they are globalists and they don't really view themselves as american companies anymore they abuse american workers they attack our values was it a miss when we had both houses of congress and you were in the white house was it a miss to not more aggressively confront big tech well section 230 could have been done something could have been done but something is happening now that's great florida ron texas what they're doing is incredible they're putting very very powerful restrictions on big tech now when you add florida and you add what greg abbott's doing in texas and and the others and a lot of people together and you look at other states big states and small states doesn't matter you add them all up they're not going to be able to function unless they become reasonable so they're basically doing what the federal government will never do they will never do it there they're taken care of very nicely the other side the democrats some of the people marsha blackburn and and josh hawley and others are really fighting hard but they're fighting a battle against a group of people that just aren't going to do it that's the democrats so what's happening is the big states are coming out florida ron desantis and greg abbott in particular those two governors have done an incredible job i hear in south dakota they're doing it i hear in uh maybe eight or nine different states they're doing it that'll do it because i don't know how you can you know you're not going to lose florida they can't lose florida texas and some of these big states they're going to have to make changes so i think they can do what the federal government hasn't done and it gives people like me and others that have been very illegally treated it gives us the right to bring major lawsuits when facebook went to their so-called supreme court their supreme court didn't want anything to do with banning me right they went back they said what are you doing what are you doing this to us for you make the decision which was pretty amazing when you think of it considering everybody was hand-picked right so it's very interesting what's happening so i greatly respect what some of the governors are doing in some of the states i think they can solve the problem maybe better than the federal government okay but regarding the federal response if the republicans do retake the congress as you're very much working toward in 2022 if you decide to run again and you win in 2024 in a potentially hypothetical second trump term what can be done to counter the power of these oligarchs well i think what can be done and very strongly and when you say oligarchs it's an interesting term but yeah i just say big tech because what they do is illegal but they also silenced what should have been the biggest blockbuster story of the entire campaign you know that i certainly experienced this from the campaign side the fact that the hunter biden laptop from hell story was completely censored and suppressed by big tech in my view that justifies labeling these operators as oligarchs is that fair well a lot of things are fair look that was when we first had uh silencio that's when we first had silence with hunter biden because it was very bad for the democrats that was a very bad issue and we'd bring it up and i have to tell you the new york post was incredible what they've done is incredible and the abuse they took it was you know i think it's a great newspaper actually and a lot of people are relying on it more and more the new york post has done an incredible job in that in that regard but they took tremendous abuse but that's when you first saw silence they silenced a newspaper it's the oldest newspaper in our country i believe and it's a big one right but they silenced a newspaper in our country because they were talking about hunter biden and the senate we held if i weren't involved in the senate races nobody ever says this i believe it would be 60 to 40 right now with the democrats leading by 10 instead of 50 50. and mitch mcconnell lost two seats that he should have had he kept talking about we're going to give you six hundred dollars they're gonna give you two thousand dollars who can win a race like that he said you won't get a penny more to the public you won't get a penny more they're voting and they're saying 2 000 and he's saying 600 he lost those two senate seats so we have 50 50. i think you would be 60 40 if i weren't endorsing if you look at alaska you look at iowa you looked at north carolina you look at many even lindsey graves that i helped him so much and he's doing a terrific job i helped him a lot and i got mitch mcconnell elected if you can believe it he was losing and he came to me he wanted help and i gave him help and he went up 20 points after i gave him help and he won his election but if i didn't get him help he would have lost absolutely in kentucky where i'm very popular i like them i like them too by the way you've been very tough on mitch mcconnell i think deservedly so uh but wouldn't the same criticisms also apply to kevin mccarthy uh different kevin has had some bad moments but he's he's always come back and done what's right for the country so it's different it really is different he had a couple of bad moments but uh it's a very interesting question different in that sense yeah much different and you know what he's done he's done a good job uh impeachment hoax number one we didn't have one negative vote and for the second we had not very many and those people are all being primaried right i think every one of them liz cheney she's a disaster i mean liz cheney is being primaried in wyoming and wyoming was my number one state i think i won it by 57 points or no 47 points i guess but i won it by number one i think i won it by even more than alabama and west virginia all great states but i won it by uh 47 points wyoming you know earlier you mentioned the biden border crisis there's a new reporting by some journalists in tennessee that in the middle of the night plane loads were landing in chattanooga tennessee full of migrant children nobody locally was informed about this every town is effectively becoming a border town now because of the biden border crisis what is the left joe biden and his allies what are they really after with this open borders lunacy they're going to destroy this country and forget about the children they have people coming in from prisons they have rapists they have murderers they have drug dealers they have human traffickers and they traffic in women mostly which nobody likes to say they traffic in women they have people the worst people anywhere in this in this hemisphere in the world coming into this country unchecked being released in our country and yeah they are they're releasing people in tennessee that never happened with me right that's why tennessee likes me but they're releasing them in areas that it just i mean it's horrible what's happening and we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people again we had the strongest border in history we never had a border like this with me and a big factor was that i built so much of the wall what a difference it makes it like day and night also i got mexico to go 28 000 soldiers free of charge because they didn't want to be tariffed and because they also happen to have a very good president i think a very smart president a very good president but we had the best border we've ever had and overnight like stay in mexico i won't stay in mexico now they stay in the united states and they disappear into our country we don't even know who these people are they walk up they can be murders they can be the worst and they come into our country totally unchecked it's very very sad what's happening one last question please mr president related to that joe biden and his allies in the media teachers unions they seem to be changing the very definition of what it means to be an american citizen what do you believe we should be teaching our children it means to be an american citizen they hate our country and we love our country we have to love this country and if somebody doesn't like our country they shouldn't be here but you look at what the way they're treating israel now compared to what it was 15 years ago 15 years ago israel was you know untouchable i think nobody's done as much for israel frankly as i have if you take a look between the embassy in jerusalem and the capital of israel and all of the different things that i've done and the iran deal which was such a disaster and golan heights was a big deal everyone you know for 52 years they were trying to get golan heights i got it done but they've been a great ally and really you know when you look at the way they're being treated right now it's not even believable by democrats it's not believable we have to love our country and uh you would almost think that the people that are allowing our country to be destroyed do not love our country thank you mr president thank you very much appreciate it thank you hey i'm rob finnerty thanks for watching if you
