00:00Moments ago, I sat down with former President Trump for a wide-ranging interview, telling
00:06me things that he has never told anyone in an interview before.
00:11Enjoy.
00:12Mr. President, first, I would like to say a belated congratulations for retiring Joe
00:18Biden, at least from the campaign.
00:21And now the polls are coming out for his replacement after a whirlwind positive press for Kamala
00:27Harris.
00:28The Real Clear Politics average shows you up at about 1.75 percent, 7 percent over her.
00:35But before the debate, Biden was 1.5 points behind.
00:41So you've actually slightly grown your lead on the national poll.
00:45So how do you keep Republicans positive and not buying into kind of the negative publicity
00:50that they're seeing?
00:51I think she's a worse candidate than him.
00:53She's far more radical left.
00:56She is younger.
00:58I mean, she's 60 years old.
00:59A lot of people â I didn't realize she was 60.
01:01I thought she was a little younger.
01:03But she's 60.
01:05She is talking a big game, but her game is pretty bad.
01:09I mean, she was the Bordasar.
01:10She's trying to pretend that she wasn't.
01:12You know, it's an amazing thing that's happened, too, because we've done a long
01:15time ago.
01:16But they're saying it's an evolution, Mr. President, that, yes, she, you know, was
01:20more progressive in 2020, but that she's moved to the middle on a number of these issues.
01:26And they're making a concerted effort to show kind of a new Kamala, Kamala 2.0.
01:31In politics, when you start off saying something, that's where you are.
01:35And she was for defund the police.
01:37She was for open borders.
01:38She was for having anybody come in.
01:40Now I notice that they're actually saying they want to have immunity for everybody that
01:44came into the country, and they want to have citizenship.
01:48She said that, and she said that she knows that Kamala Harris â she assumes Kamala
01:51Harris would support that.
01:53That means citizenship for 10 million, 15 million, 20 million?
01:56Yeah.
01:57Or 20 million.
01:58What would that do to the country?
01:59Destroy the country.
02:00It's already â I mean, it's in such bad shape.
02:03Our country has never been in a position like this, in addition to which we could end up
02:07in a third world war, OK?
02:10But we have 20 million people that have come into the country.
02:13I would say by now it's â 20 is probably going over that number.
02:17We have another four months to go, but really it's another five months, five and a half
02:21months to go.
02:22So that number is going to increase very substantially.
02:24They're pouring in, and they're coming from prisons.
02:26They're coming from mental institutions and sane asylums.
02:29I always say that's a step above a mental institution.
02:33And we have a record number of terrorists coming into our country, and only bad things
02:37are going to happen.
02:38Nothing good is going to come out of it.
02:40A big news today is President Biden announcing reforms to the Supreme Court, which include
02:47not allowing immunity for presidents, and also ethics, new ethics rules.
02:53Now, a lot of us who used to clerk at the court believe that that's just a naked attempt
02:57to start knocking off conservative justices.
02:59It is.
03:00They didn't even consult Dick Durbin or the Senate Judiciary Committee on any aspect of
03:05this.
03:06What does this mean to you, what Biden is â
03:08Well, it's a typical Biden con.
03:10He doesn't want to give up immunity, because if he didn't have immunity, look at all the
03:14things he did.
03:15The $3.5 million from Russia, all the money he's taken in from China, all of the bad things
03:21and the evil things he's done, not to mention that thousands of people killed in the border.
03:27Look at the Afghanistan pullout, with the worst, most embarrassing day in the history
03:32of our country.
03:33All of the things he's done that are so bad, he desperately wants immunity.
03:37There's no way he would write off immunity for a president.
03:40But this is a really upending of our constitutional structure.
03:43Yeah, he's doing that.
03:44And a common criticism of you from the left is he's the chaos candidate, he's the chaos
03:50former president.
03:51Just the opposite.
03:52And so what does that do to separation of powers, if the executive branch can come along
03:55and say, oh, no, no, even though we have constitutional provisions governing the court, that we're
04:00just going to do this, or this is what we stand for?
04:02It's going nowhere.
04:03They need 75 percent, and it's going nowhere.
04:06He can't get it.
04:07He knows that, too.
04:08It's just â I think, look â
04:09Is it a bone to the left?
04:10Hard left.
04:11They staged a coup against the president of the United States.
04:14They went in and they told him, you're leaving, you're way down in the polls, 17 points, I
04:18think.
04:19You know, it's like you're in a fight with somebody and you're really winning, and they
04:22take him out and they put somebody else in.
04:24Nobody ever heard of this before.
04:26This is a coup.
04:27They took him.
04:28They said, even though you got 14 million votes, you're out.
04:31And he said, I'm not going out.
04:32But you're saying that's what they're kind of doing with the court as well?
04:35No.
04:36What they're doing is they're keeping â they took him out.
04:39He was losing badly.
04:40They took him out.
04:42He wants something to say.
04:44He's sitting there with nothing to do, nobody to talk to.
04:46They threw him out.
04:47This was a coup, the first one, of the president of the United States.
04:52But Harris endorsed this Supreme Court proposal.
04:53They said, you're leaving.
04:55She endorsed this Supreme Court proposal.
04:56Oh, yeah, she did.
04:57She's a radical leftist.
04:58Every two years, this is going to change justices?
04:59Well, they're also â the one thing they didn't say, they want to pack the court.
05:02What they really want to do more than any of it is pack the court.
05:05They want to put in â so I've heard as many as 27.
05:08They've gotten up to 27.
05:09That's not in this proposal.
05:11But this is a response to their losing on a number of high-profile cases.
05:14I mean, not every case has gone your way or Republicans' ways.
05:18Did Republicans ever put forward a series of these types of radical proposals?
05:22I don't recall.
05:23They have intended to.
05:24And we've been behind also.
05:25We've been behind in justices.
05:28And they don't do this.
05:29Actually, FDR did it a long time ago, which was interesting.
05:32But it hasn't really happened like this.
05:34It's never going to happen.
05:35I'll tell you, if I'm president, it doesn't happen.
05:38We keep it the way it is.
05:39And that's â it's been working very well for a long period of time.
05:42I mean, basically, they want to create another Congress.
05:45They want to have so many people.
05:46Let's just go to another Congress.
05:49I haven't seen you since the assassination attempt on your life.
05:52How are you feeling?
05:53Good.
05:54How are you doing?
05:55I feel good.
05:56New information keeps coming out about how this could have occurred, including text messages
06:01among some of the local law enforcement and the SWAT teams that were in place.
06:06Most recently, we found out that a local SWAT team member actually spotted Crooks 90 minutes
06:13before that first shot went off.
06:15And they kept tracking him.
06:17They even saw him at one point, maybe 45 minutes before â half hour before the shot was fired,
06:23with the rangefinder pointing it toward the roof.
06:26What's your reaction to this?
06:28Look, I can tell you this.
06:31Once the bullets started coming at me, and I got very lucky â I really â I have to
06:37attribute it to God, because if I didn't turn to the right â and there was no reason
06:41to turn to the right, except I dropped a big sign on how â what a great job I'm doing
06:45on immigration, right?
06:46So the signs come down, and I go like this.
06:49And it went pew.
06:50If I didn't, I wouldn't be talking to you right now.
06:52You shouldn't have been on that stage.
06:54You shouldn't have been allowed to get on that stage.
06:55But I just want to say one thing about Secret Service.
06:59They were very brave, because they were coming, and bullets were flying over me, because I
07:02went down.
07:03Bullets were flying.
07:04And they were â they were on top of me.
07:06I had a lot of people on top of me, a lot of very big, strong people on top of me, I
07:10want to tell you.
07:11And they were very brave.
07:13I have to say that.
07:14OK, with that being said, there should have been somebody on the roof.
07:17There should have been communication with the local police, which there wasn't.
07:20So that's a bad thing.
07:22And they were seeing this guy, who was a very disturbed person.
07:25And they were seeing him around.
07:27I mean, it's like, how about the people, the Trump fans, the Trumpsters, the woman
07:31in the red shirt that was screaming, he's got a gun, that guy's got a gun?
07:35But this information, Mr. President, demonstrates via text messages in real time that they spotted
07:41this individual, the local SWAT team members spotted him.
07:44They lost track of him.
07:45They saw him again.
07:47But then we find out there was no preplanning done between the Secret Service and the local
07:51SWAT teams, which is common, which is customary, in addition to the drone flying ahead.
07:55Oh, there was no communication.
07:56Yes, there was no communication.
07:57So they didn't speak to each other.
07:59They actually didn't speak.
08:00That just came out.
08:01Look, it's a terrible thing.
08:04Should have been somebody up there.
08:06Now, the Secret Service shooter, the Secret Service sniper, it was amazing what he did
08:14with one bullet.
08:15He took him out.
08:16And that was an amazing shot he made.
08:17I heard it was like an incredible shot much further away.
08:21It would have been good if it was nine seconds sooner.
08:24You know, we lost one great person, and two people were very badly hurt.
08:27And now they're doing OK, and we're in communication with them.
08:30They're doing pretty good.
08:31They're doing very good.
08:32I thought they were going to die.
08:33I thought both of them were going to die also.
08:35But you agreed to an interview with the FBI.
08:39It's called a victim's interview in a situation like this.
08:40They're coming in on Thursday to see me.
08:43And I thought I would.
08:44I'm so disappointed.
08:45You know, if you took a poll of the FBI, I bet I'd get 95 percent, but not at the top
08:51level, not at the people, the political people.
08:54Why do people not trust the upper echelon of the FBI at this point?
08:57Well, they've had a bad period of time.
08:58I mean, they raided Mar-a-Lago.
09:00That's not so good.
09:02And I guess we bring a suit.
09:03You know, we won that whole case, and we won it the right way.
09:05We won it because we won it.
09:07We won it in court.
09:08It was a big thing.
09:09Hardly got any publicity.
09:10All they did was talk about the documents.
09:11I was allowed the Presidential Records Act, but we won the case.
09:15And the press hardly reports it.
09:17Now with Biden, he really was convicted of that case.
09:21He was let go of that case.
09:23And by the way, you're talking about many more, and he didn't have Presidential Records
09:26Act.
09:27Just one thing, Laura.
09:28They said he was incompetent, and therefore he can't stand trial, and yet he would have
09:32been allowed to be president.
09:33Think of that.
09:34So he sort of semi-won it.
09:36Of course, you don't want to have that kind of a victory.
09:38You win because you're incompetent.
09:40But he actually was guilty.
09:42What was Melania's reaction, if you don't mind my asking, I know this is very personal,
09:46when she learned about what happened on that field in Butler?
09:49She was watching.
09:50Oh, she was watching in real time?
09:51She was watching live.
09:52It was all over the place.
09:53It was on television.
09:54It was on your network.
09:56But it was all over the place.
09:57And she was watching.
09:59I asked her that.
10:00I mean, I wasn't there.
10:01I was on the ground.
10:03And when the world started to, like, you could talk to people, I said, so what was your feeling?
10:12And she was, she can't really even talk about it.
10:16Traumatized.
10:17Which is OK, because that means she likes me.
10:18Well, she loves me.
10:19She still likes you.
10:20That's good.
10:21I mean, let's say she could talk about it freely.
10:23That wouldn't be, I'm not so sure, which is better.
10:24But she either likes or loves me, and that's nice.
10:28But I will say this, look, she was, when I went down, she thought the worst had happened
10:34because I went down and I grabbed my, and I saw it was, my hand was loaded up with blood.
10:39You see it in slow motion, instant replay.
10:41You know, we had hundreds of press there.
10:45So this was covered live.
10:46They would have had instant replay and everything else, which they already do in this.
10:51But supposing the worst happened.
10:52You know, one man, Corey, was killed, hit horribly, horribly in the head.
10:59And you know, to guard, he was guarding his family.
11:02That's why, how important it is to get to the bottom of why this was allowed to occur.
11:05He died.
11:06He died.
11:07You almost died.
11:08He died instantly.
11:09Instantly.
11:10He was dead immediately.
