WAY. IT'S A MUCH BETTER PROBLEM THAN $6.07 AND EIGHT AND NINE. >> Sean: SO WE HAVE THIS, I CALL IT A NEW AXIS OF EVIL, CHINA ALIGNED WITH RUSSIA ALIGNED WIND IRAN. LET'S START WITH CHINA. HERE YOU HAVE A CHINESE SPY BALLOON, NO CONSEQUENCES, HERE YOU HAVE JUST THIS WEEK A CHINESE SIMULATOR THAT TAKES OUT ALL OF OUR WARSHIPS IN THE PACIFIC IN THE CHINA SEA. >> Pres. Trump: VERY SOPHISTICATED. >> Sean: YOU HAVE A CONFRONTATION WITH A FIGHTER JET OF CHINA WITH OUR FIGHTER JET, THEY COME WITHIN FOUR HUNDRED FEET OR WHATEVER IT WAS. JOE BIDEN'S DEFENSE SECRETARY WANTS TO MEET WITH THEIR DEFENSE SECRETARY AND THEY BASICALLY GAVE JOE BIDEN THE MIDDLE FINGER AND SAID NO. AND YOU SEE THAT THERE'S A GROWING COLD WAR WITH CHINA, WHO'S ALIGNED WITH TWO OTHER HOSTILE REGIMES AND I'VE GOT TO BELIEVE THAT'S NOT A GOOD SITUATION FOR AMERICA RIGHT NOW BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, PUTIN SEEMS TO HAVE NO QUALMS ABOUT TAKING DOWN A DRONE OUT OF THE SKY, NO CONSEQUENCES FOR HIM, NO CONSEQUENCES FOR CHINA. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? >> Pres. Trump: SO WE HAD A GREAT THING WITH CHINA, UNTIL COVID CAME IN, THEN I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO DEAL WITH THEM. BUT I HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH PRESIDENT XI I WAS CHARGING TARIFFS, BECAUSE THEY WERE DUMPING STEELE NOBODY'S EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE DESTROYING OUR STEELE MILLS AND STEELE PLANTS AND I PUT A 50% TARIFF AND ALL OF A SUDDEN OUR STEELE INDUSTRY WAS DOING GOOD. I DID IT FOR WASHING MACHINES, I DID IT FOR DRYERS. I DID IT FOR A LOT OF THINGS BECAUSE THEY WERE DESTROYING A LOT OF OUR BUSINESSES. BUT WE WERE TAKING IN HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND WE WERE IN IOWA, I GAVE THE FARMERS $28 BILLION, YOU KNOW THAT, 28 BILLION. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Pres. Trump: AND IN ONE OF MY MOMENTS I SAID, THERE'S NO WAY I LOSE IOWA. I GAVE THE FARMERS $28 BILLION FROM CHINA. I TOOK $28 BILLION, I ASKED SONNY PERDUE, THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE AND A VERY GOOD GUY, I SAID SONNY, HOW BADLY HAVE OUR FARMERS BEEN HURT BY WHAT CHINA WAS DOING THEY WERE KILLING OUR FARMERS RIGHT, JUST KILLING THEM? HE SAID ABOUT $28 BILLION. I SAID THAT'S OKAY. AND I HAD $28 BILLION WORTH OF CHECKS WRITTEN OUT TO ALL OF THE FARMERS OF OUR COUNTRY AND I SAID THERE'S NO WAY I'M GOING TO LOSE THIS STATE AND THERE'S NO WAY I'M LOSING NEBRASKA AND SOME OTHER ONES. BUT I'VE HAD MORE PEOPLE THANKING ME FOR THAT. BUT THINK OF IT, I TOOK $28 BILLION FROM CHINA AND GAVE IT TO OUR FARMERS. NOBODY ELSE WOULD DO THAT. NOBODY ELSE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Sean: VLADIMIR PUTIN, YOU HAVE SAID REPEATEDLY IN INTERVIEWS THAT IF YOU WERE PRESIDENT HE NEVER WOULD HAVE WENT INTO UKRAINE. >> Pres. Trump: WOULD HAVE NEVER. >> Sean: HOW DO YOU SAY THAT? AND YOU ALSO HAVE SAID IF YOU'RE PRESIDENT YOU COULD END THIS VERY QUICKLY. >> Pres. Trump: YEAH. >> Sean: HOW? HOW? >> Pres. Trump: IF I'M PRESIDENT -- BY THE WAY, THIS IS A MUCH WORSE POSITION THAN BEFORE IT STARTED. BEFORE IT STARTED IT WAS EASY HE WASN'T GOING TO DO IT AND HI CONVERSATION. AND IT WAS ALWAYS THE APPLE OF HIS EYE I COULD SEE THAT. I SAID YOU'RE NOT GOING DO IT AND IF YOU DO IT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE NEVER BEFORE. HE UNDERSTOOD. I SAID THINGS HE SAID YOU DON'T MEAN THAT I SAID I MEAN IT A HUNDRED PERCENT. AND HE DIDN'T TOTALLY BELIEVE ME BUT HE BELIEVED ME TEN PERCENT AND THAT'S ALL HELP TO DO. HE KNEW THERE WOULD BE A PROBLEM. >> Sean: YOU'RE IMPLYING SOMETHING HERE. YOU BASICALLY SAID I'D OBLITERATE YOU IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID? >> Pres. Trump: I SAID THINGS THAT WERE VERY BAD, VERY NASTY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Pres. Trump: AND YOU KNOW HONESTLY -- HE SAID YOU DON'T MEAN THAT. HAD TO DO WITH MOSCOW. HE SAID YOU DON'T MEAN THAT. I SAID I DO. I'LL NEVER TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN BUT I DO. HE SAID YOU DON'T MEAN IT, YOU DON'T MEAN IT. AND WE THEN WENT ON TO OTHER SUBJECTS. I DON'T THINK HE BELIEVED ME BUT HE BELIEVED ME 10%. THAT'S ALL HE HAD TO BELIEVE ME. 5% WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD ENOUGH. HI THE SAME CONVERSATION WITH PRESIDENT XI ABOUT TAIWAN, PRESIDENT XI OF CHINA. I SAID PRESIDENT DON'T DO IT WITH TAIWAN, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING IT WITH TAIWAN. HE WAS NEVER GOING TO DO IT AND NOW HE'S CIRCLING, CIRCLING, SHIPS ARE CIRCLING, PLANES FLYING OVER TOP, 28 BOMBERS LAST WEEK WENT RIGHT OVER THE MIDDLE OF IT, A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON. AND A LOT OF THIS HAS TO DO ALSO WITH THE FACT THAT WE WERE SO INCOMPETENT IN THE WAY WE LEFT AFGHANISTAN. IT WAS SO -- I THINK IT WAS THE MOST EMBARRASSING AND MOST INCOMPETENT MOMENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. AND I THINK BOTH OF THEM LOOKED AT THAT AND THEY SAID WOW, THIS IS NOT THE SAME COUNTRY THAT WE KNOW. WE REBUILT OUR MILITARY, I REBUILT THE MILITARY, NEW JETS, NEW EVERYTHING, WE HAD EVERYTHING. AND THEY GAVE AWAY $85 BILLION WORTH OF THE BEST EQUIPMENT IN THE WORLD. NOBODY CAN EVEN BELIEVE IT. THE BIGGEST SELLER OF EQUIPMENT, THEY'RE THE BIGGEST -- RIGHT AFTER US, AFGHANISTAN. CAN YOU IMAGINE? AFGHANISTAN IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ARMS MERCHANTS IN THE WORLD. BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED 700,000 GUNS AND RIFLES, 70,000 ARMOR PLATED TRUCKS AND TRUCKS AND DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR SOME OF THEM. 700,000 ARMS, THINK OF IT, RIFLES. 70,000 TRUCKS. THERE'S NOT A USED CAR LOT IN ALL OF IOWA OR IN ALL OF THE COUNTRY PROBABLY THAT HAS MORE THAN 500. THESE PEOPLE HAD 70,000. AND SOME OF THESE ARE, YOU KNOW, BIG HEAVY ARMOR PLATED STUFF FOR THE ROADSIDE BOMBS. SOL MAINY, YOU KNOW, SOL MENY WAS NOT GOOD, THAT SITUATION WAS TAKEN CARE OF, AND AL-BAGHDADI WAS NOT GOOD AND THAT SITUATION WAS TAKEN CARE OF. BUT WE DID A LOT. YOU KNOW, OUR MILITARY IS GREAT. A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON WITH OUR MILITARY WITH THE WOKE AND ALL THIS NONSENSE, THEY'RE NOT LEARNING TO FIGHT AND PROTECT US FROM SOME VERY BAD PEOPLE. THEY WANT TO GO WOKE. THEY WANT TO GO WOKE. THAT'S ALL THEY TALK ABOUT NOW. I SEE LETTERS THAT ARE BEING SENT. IT'S HORRIBLE. I MEAN IT'S A SERIOUS -- THAT WOULD END IMMEDIATELY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Pres. Trump: WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT WE DID, WE REBUILT OUR MILITARY, WE ADDED SPACE FORCE, EVERYONE SAID, OH, SPACE FORCE WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT. WHEN THEY CAME IN BIDEN WANTED TO END IT HE SAID WHAT IS THIS A GAME. IT'S GOING TO TURN OUT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT -- HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE AIR FORCE 78 YEARS AGO AND IT'S UNBELIEVABLE NOW. CHINA AND RUSSIA WERE TAKING OVER SPACE AND NOW
