FULL Q&A: President Trump on Putin, Xi Jinping, Ukraine Peace Talks and Nuclear Disarmament — AC15

[0:07] take a nice trip to Kansas, where we have a wonderful [0:11] Senator Marshall. [0:12] He's going to do very well, I think. [0:14] He's going to win. [0:16] I won the state by many, many points. [0:19] I love the people of Kansas, and that's why I go there. [0:22] So, hopefully, we'll have a great victory in Kansas. [0:27] But we'll know soon enough. [0:28] I think he's going to do very well. [0:30] Roger Marshall is one of the finest people in government, [0:34] as far as I'm concerned. [0:36] The Pressure President, can we talk about [0:37] that you don't want to drive a Vladimir Putin away from the [0:42] barbie? [0:43] The President, what guarantee has he made you that he's [0:45] willing to strike a barbie? [0:47] The President, well, you'll see soon enough, [0:48] because I'm trying to get a hostage that the country's [0:52] been after for a long time, and before my time. [0:56] And let's see what happens. [0:58] That'll be soon. [1:00] We also have a very good situation with respect to [1:03] Iran. [1:04] He's laying off Iran. [1:05] It's nice because we're hitting Iran very hard, [1:08] as you know, and economically as well as militarily. [1:12] And Russia has done nothing there that we can see. [1:16] And I think that's a very positive. [1:18] And, of course, we're negotiating with him on Ukraine. [1:22] So, I'm not looking to break up negotiations right in the middle. [1:26] And, by the way, I have the right to do that at any time, [1:29] immediately. [1:30] So, if things don't work out, I can always do it. [1:33] The Pressure President, what bilateral meeting? [1:34] The Pressure President, what do you say the Republicans [1:35] who have been speaking out? [1:36] The Pressure President, what do you say the Republicans [1:37] who have been speaking out against the new deal? [1:39] The President, what do you say the Republicans who have [1:40] been speaking out against the new deal? [1:42] The President, what do you say the Republicans who have [1:43] been speaking out against the new deal? [1:44] The President, what do you say the Republicans who have [1:45] been speaking out against the new deal? [1:45] The President, what do you say the Republicans who have [1:46] been speaking out against the new deal? [1:47] The President, what do you say the Republicans who have [1:48] been speaking out against the new deal? [1:49] The President, what do you say the Republicans who have been [1:50] speaking out against the new deal? [1:51] When you're negotiating a deal, you don't do that [1:55] to the people you're negotiating. [1:57] And the deal is the Ukraine deal. [1:58] Also, I'm negotiating with them on Iran, because [2:01] they've been very well-behaved on Iran. [2:03] Also, I'm negotiating with them on hostages, and I'm [2:07] also negotiating on diesel. [2:09] So, when you do that, look, that's my business. [2:12] When you're negotiating, you don't do that. [2:14] When I tell that to Republicans that speak out, [2:17] and there aren't many of them because they have [2:19] confidence in me, I'm the one that got up there. [2:22] I'm the one that's winning. [2:23] I'm the one that's doing the rallies that's taking [2:25] people into a winning position. [2:28] When you look at what's happened, if you take a [2:30] look at what's happened since I've been doing [2:32] these massive, totally sold-out rallies, nobody's [2:36] ever seen anything like it. [2:38] As an example, we're up in Texas. [2:41] We weren't. [2:41] We're up in Alaska. [2:42] We weren't. [2:43] We're up everybody, every place that I've gone to, [2:46] we're up. [2:47] President, have you agreed to a trilateral meeting [2:49] with the President and talk about Ukraine? [2:52] President Trump No, but I would do it. [2:54] Not so much for Ukraine, because Russia, frankly, [2:58] has been fine on Ukraine. [2:59] They haven't been doing much. [3:01] And the same thing with China. [3:03] We would have it to talk about nuclear weapons and [3:06] denuclearization. [3:07] And any time I can have a meeting on denuclearization. [3:11] So, we have more. [3:12] During my term, I did it. [3:13] We have more nuclear weapons than anybody. [3:16] Russia is second, China is third, but catching up. [3:19] China was way behind, and now they're catching up. [3:22] It'll take them probably five years. [3:25] We would schedule a meeting based on the denuclearization. [3:29] And that's a very positive thing for the world. [3:32] So, I would do it. [3:33] If they want to have a — I just heard about it. [3:36] If they'd like to have it, I think it would be held in China. [3:39] He just left here. [3:41] If President Xi wants to have it, I'd have it. [3:43] I'm sure we'd talk about other things like trade, too, but, yeah, I would do that. [3:48] And you and Beth Reign who ordered that interruption? [3:55] I don't know who it was, but I'd like to find out. [3:57] Yeah. [3:58] The Pressure is — Mr. President, Emmanuel Macron is blaming the Iran war, [4:02] and you, essentially, for the rioting in France right now. [4:05] I don't think he is. [4:06] No, I think that's fake news. [4:07] Who are you with? [4:08] No, sir, Mary Margaret with The Daily Wire. [4:10] The Pressure is good. [4:11] Mr. President — Mr. President. [4:12] Sorry, The Daily Wire is good. [4:13] The Pressure is — Mr. President, Mr. President. [4:14] The Pressure is good. [4:15] The Pressure is good. [4:16] He's a good friend of mine. [4:17] The Pressure is good. [4:18] I told him a long time ago, you're making a big mistake in France. [4:21] You're letting everybody from the world come in. [4:25] The whole world was coming in. [4:26] And, you know, as you know, Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon. [4:31] And that wasn't the deal. [4:33] That wasn't the deal. [4:34] I told Emmanuel, you should close up your borders. [4:37] And, let's see, I've known him for probably eight or nine years. [4:41] I told him as soon as I met him, I said, you're making a big mistake. [4:45] We closed our borders. [4:46] He did. [4:47] And you know what? [4:48] His borders are a problem. [4:50] And he also has a little bit of a problem with energy, but they have gone, you know, they're [4:54] doing better than others. [4:55] But Emmanuel should have closed his borders a long time ago. [4:58] I told him to do it. [5:01] Zelensky says you're supporting Putin by waiving these sanctions. [5:05] Is that right? [5:05] I'm supporting stopping the war between Russia and Ukraine. [5:10] How does that help stop the war? [5:11] And you know what? [5:12] Why? [5:13] Because that's what I do for a living. [5:14] And frankly, Zelensky is not helping matters much. [5:19] I think he doesn't want to stop it. [5:20] But I want to see people not die. [5:23] They're losing probably on average 25,000 to 35,000 soldiers every single month. [5:30] All I want to do, I don't care. [5:32] I want to get the war stopped. [5:34] I don't want to see 25,000, 35,000. [5:37] Last month it was 32,000. [5:39] I don't want to see 32,000 soldiers dead. [5:42] It has nothing to do with this country. [5:45] But you know what? [5:45] I, from a human standpoint, Ukraine is losing a lot of, [5:49] Ukraine is losing all of its men. [5:52] And I was watching a woman on television the other night, [5:56] and she blames Zelensky. [5:57] She said, he's killing our men. [5:59] And the fact is, she said, and it was very poignant, [6:02] she said, our men are dying. [6:05] Our men have no legs. [6:06] In many cases, you look around, they have no legs. [6:10] They're in mental institutions. [6:12] She's talking about Ukraine. [6:14] And she's very well known, and they want to put her in prison. [6:17] I want to see the war stop. [6:19] You're losing tremendous numbers of mostly young military men. [6:24] And that means 25,000 to 35,000 a month. [6:29] All I want is for Russia and Ukraine to stop that stupid war. [6:34] Mr. President, would you meet with Presidents Xi and Putin to discuss the end of the war without Zelensky there? [6:40] Well, I would meet in order, anything I can do to end the war, whether somebody's there or not, [6:46] whatever I can do to end the war. [6:47] And they do want to have a meeting, at my suggestion, [6:51] because I'm going to be over in China in November, on the denuclearization. [6:56] And if we can do denuclearization, I will have done the world a big, big favor. [7:02] But, so we are going to have... [7:02] You're on the wrong side of history here, sir. [7:04] Zelensky says you're on the wrong side of history. [7:06] What'd you say? [7:07] Zelensky says you're on the wrong side of history on this one. [7:11] Zelensky said it? [7:12] Zelensky doesn't know what he's talking about. [7:15] Zelensky is a man that should have had this war settled a long time ago. [7:19] If he would have listened to me, he would have made a much better deal a long time ago [7:23] and he'd have a million people living from his side. [7:26] Mr. President, I'm Mr. President. [7:27] And to be honest, I don't think... [7:29] I think it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine. [7:33] Because what's happened? [7:34] Very little land has moved, but a million people, a tremendous number of people are dead. [7:41] They're losing their male population. [7:44] Ukraine could have had this thing settled a long time ago. [7:46] If he would have listened to me, and you remember the Oval Office, [7:50] he would have had this settled a long time ago. [7:53] Maybe it's time for Zelensky to get somebody else to negotiate. [7:56] Is it a bad sign for Republicans that you have to go campaign in Kansas today? [8:04] No, I tell you, I have a man named Roger, and you know him very well, Roger Marshall. [8:10] He's a fantastic senator. [8:12] He's one of the best. [8:13] It's a close race. [8:15] It shouldn't be. [8:15] And as you know, I won by a tremendous amount, like 25, 30 points. [8:19] I won by a lot, Kansas. [8:21] And they should be winning by a lot. [8:23] And so I went to, do you want to listen to him? [8:27] I went to Alaska, and Dan Sullivan is up. [8:31] I went to Ohio, John Eustadt is up. [8:36] I went to Texas, and Ken Paxson is up. [8:39] So far, and I went to many other places. [8:42] Wherever I go, they seem to be up. [8:48] And I have the biggest rallies anybody's ever seen. [8:52] They're packed houses. [8:53] We have thousands and thousands of people today. [8:56] And beyond the House, they're broadcast all over. [8:59] And my rallies are having a huge impact and a positive impact on the Republican Party. [9:05] I'm going to Kansas because I won it by a lot. [9:08] And the great senator, and he's a great senator, Roger Marshall. [9:13] He's one of the best senators. [9:14] I think he's tied or up by a little bit, according to polls. [9:20] Look, the polls are fake, but according to polls. [9:23] So I want to make sure Roger Marshall gets in. [9:25] Roger Marshall is a great man, and he's a great senator. [9:29] So that's why I'm going. [9:30] I think that's fine. [9:31] How do you think it's so much? [9:32] Mr. President, Mr. President, have you all set up sharing intelligence with Ukraine on the Russian attacks? [9:36] Yeah, we share intelligence. [9:37] Russia, the Republicans, Mr. President, Mr. President, have you said the Republicans say... [9:41] We share a lot. [9:42] We've given a lot to Ukraine. [9:43] You know what? [9:44] We've given a lot to Ukraine. [9:46] They've given nothing to us. [9:48] Remember that. [9:49] We've given hundreds of billions of dollars. [9:53] I gave the javelins to Ukraine when he knocked out. [9:56] That was me. [9:57] Obama gave them pillows. [9:59] You know the expression? [10:00] Obama gave them sheets and pillows. [10:02] Trump gave them the javelins. [10:04] So don't tell me about Ukraine. [10:06] We've given a lot to Ukraine. [10:08] They've given us nothing. [10:09] Republicans are worth... [10:12] Mr. President, you said Russia could have done way more to help... [10:16] You said Russia could have done way more to help Iran if they wanted. [10:21] Did Russia threaten... [10:21] Russia could have done a lot more. [10:23] That's right. [10:24] Russia could have done a lot more to help... [10:26] If you put it bluntly, Russia could have done a lot more to help Iran. [10:31] Russia has done very little for Iran. [10:33] But China could have done a lot more for Iran. [10:36] They've done... [10:37] And I remember that. [10:38] When China does not that much, maybe nothing, almost, but very little for Iran, and Russia [10:44] does very little for Iran, I view that as being a very positive thing. [10:50] The Republicans are worth... [10:51] Mr. President, Mr. President, Republicans are worth... [10:53] Thank you, sir. [10:54] You seem like you're feeling really good about the midterms. [10:56] Is that accurate? [10:57] I feel good. [10:57] I feel good. [10:58] I mean, I think good. [10:59] I think it's fake polls. [11:00] Look, I had one poll where I was down by three, and I won by 20. [11:07] And the person that was the pollster had a quid in disgrace. [11:10] So, you know, one of those things. [11:13] I don't rely on the polls, but polls mean something. [11:16] But a lot of the polls are rigged, just like the journalists are rigged. [11:20] I could name six of them that I'm looking right here. [11:23] You're a rigged journalist. [11:24] A lot of the polls are rigged. [11:26] Not all of you, but there's some good ones I can name also. [11:29] But a lot of the polls are rigged. [11:31] A lot of the pollsters... [11:33] Look at what happened in Iowa, where a pollster said that I was going to lose Iowa, [11:38] and I ended up winning by almost 20 points. [11:41] You know what? [11:43] And by the way, she knew what she was doing. [11:47] That was a crooked... [11:48] That was a crooked deal. [11:49] Because up until then, for years, she was always polling me correctly. [11:55] I was going to win by a lot. [11:57] I had a great win in Iowa, and she said I was going to lose by four, [12:01] and I won by almost 20. [12:03] That was a crooked deal. [12:04] The Pressure on the French protest. [12:09] On the French protest, what's your message? [12:12] What's your message? [12:13] What's your message? [12:15] Well, the France thing is a very sad situation. [12:18] What's happening in France. [12:19] Because what's happening in France has to do with immigration, not schools, not anything. [12:26] It's immigration. [12:27] And I told President Macron, close up your borders. [12:31] I told him the first time I met him, which was years ago in my first term. [12:36] Close up your borders. [12:37] You're going to have nothing but trouble. [12:38] And they've got a lot of trouble. [12:41] They let people into their country that don't love their country. [12:44] They don't love their buildings. [12:46] They don't love their art. [12:47] And I said the first time I met Macron, I said, you've got to close up your borders. [12:54] You're going to ruin your country. [12:55] And they've ruined their country. [12:57] It's going to be hard to get it back. [12:59] But hopefully, France will come back. [13:00] I know they're having other people in this country, whatever they want. [13:15] He started NGC after he tried to break up a fight. [13:27] What's your message with him so far? [13:28] Well, I'm looking at it. [13:28] And Merced, unfortunately, he wasn't killed. [13:31] He'll be fine. [13:31] Mr. President, Mr. President, you're sending 10,600. [13:41] Yeah. [13:43] What did you advise? [13:45] Well, I told many of those leaders, your immigration is going to cause you a [13:49] tremendous amount of problem in Europe, in France and in Europe. [13:54] And I've been right. [13:55] That's an immigration problem. [13:57] These are people that come in, as an example, in France, where it's so bad. [14:01] They don't love the country. [14:02] They don't love their art. [14:03] They don't love their buildings. [14:04] They don't love their people. [14:06] And they've got themselves a riot. [14:07] This isn't about school. [14:09] This is about immigration. [14:11] And these are people that are coming. [14:12] They're taking over the country. [14:14] And he made a mistake. [14:15] And I've told Putin, and I've told others, [14:19] I've told Putin, having to do with Russia on another subject, [14:22] but we talked about it. [14:24] I told Macron, I told all of these leaders, [14:27] you better watch your borders because your countries are being destroyed. [14:31] And you know who agrees with me? [14:33] Some of the leaders that you people don't like. [14:36] The Press. [14:37] The Press. [14:37] The Press. [14:37] Mr. President, the violence was also in Italy during this weekend. [14:43] So, did you see that? [14:44] What's your reaction in Italy, in Milan? [14:47] Well, it has to do with, when you look at Italy and France, [14:52] it has to do with immigration. [14:54] And I told them all that was going to happen. [14:56] That is a, that's a boiler waiting to explode. [15:00] It's a very sad thing to watch, for me to watch. [15:03] We have closed borders. [15:04] Nobody comes in. [15:06] And we're getting all the people out, [15:07] all the people that came in illegally. [15:09] They're coming out. [15:10] What happened is they let people in. [15:12] They didn't get them out, and they came in by the millions. [15:16] And honestly, they're different countries than they were 10 years ago. [15:20] The Press. [15:21] Do you think you're going to be able to get that meeting with North Korea next month in China? [15:26] Oh, I don't know. [15:27] I don't know. [15:27] I don't know. [15:27] I don't know. [15:27] I don't know. [15:27] I don't know. [15:28] I don't know. [15:29] I don't know. [15:29] You guys don't know. [15:30] I get along. [15:31] I get along with them very well. [15:32] With Kim Jong-un, I get along with them very well. [15:35] And I'm not sure that anybody's asking for a meeting, [15:38] but my relationship with Kim Jong-un is very good. [15:42] Would you like to see Delcey Rodriguez facing Maria Corina Machado [15:52] in a presidential election in Venezuela? [15:54] Well, that would be interesting. [15:55] What are your thoughts on Senator Elisa Slotkin suggesting [16:03] that Democrats hand the prostitutions of Republican leaders [16:06] should scare young conservatives away from getting involved in politics? [16:09] Well, I think what they've done is weaponize government. [16:12] Slotkin is a lowlife who's ruining her state, just destroying her state. [16:18] But what they're doing is really discouraging people from going into politics. [16:24] No, they've weaponized government, the Democrats. [16:26] That's what they've done. [16:29] Hispanic vote. [16:30] Hispanic vote. [16:31] How are you feeling, folks, about the Hispanic vote for this election? [16:33] I think we're doing great. [16:34] I want Hispanics. [16:35] I've done more than any Republican in history. [16:39] I got tremendous Hispanic vote. [16:41] But you're saying to the Republicans, [16:42] have been looking around for what you want, sir. [16:44] No, I think they're good. [16:45] And I think every time I have a rally, right now, as you know, [16:48] you know where I'm going, to Kansas, right? [16:51] And we have Roger Marshall, and we want to make sure he wins. [16:55] He's a great senator. [16:56] I just want to make sure. [16:57] Every place I've gone to, they're doing well. [17:00] Mr. President, will you talk to President Xi about Ukraine? [17:02] Mr. President, will you talk to President Xi about Ukraine? [17:03] Mr. President, will you let Ukraine stay? [17:05] Mr. President, will you talk to President Xi about Ukraine? [17:07] I wouldn't, but so far, I think he's been very fair in Ukraine. [17:11] He hasn't been very much involved. [17:13] And the same with Russia. [17:14] They haven't been nearly what they could have been. [17:16] And I appreciate that. [17:18] They know I appreciate that. [17:19] Mr. President, you are so hard to let Ukraine [17:21] stay in America under TPS. [17:24] Will you let them stay under the temporary protected status [17:27] until the war ends? [17:28] Are you talking about the federal investigation into the death of Nolan Wells? [17:34] Do you have any update into a federal investigation into the death of Nolan Wells? [17:38] You told me the other week that the FBI is looking at the FBI investigation. [17:41] I will continue to look. [17:42] Mr. President, why are you threatening election workers? [17:46] Why are you threatening election workers with jailbreak? [17:49] The President, why are you threatening the future of Europe? [17:51] As we know, Europe is in a... [17:53] If Europe doesn't close its borders and bring the criminals out, [17:58] like the people that are protesting, Europe is finished. [18:02] Europe has to close its borders, like I've been telling them for 10 years. [18:06] They have to close their borders and they have to take people [18:09] that hate their countries out, because otherwise they're finished. [18:13] They will not have a chance of survival. [18:15] When I look at France, when you look at Italy, when you look at all the turmoil [18:19] and the hatred, that's not about school. [18:22] That's about people coming into the countries that hate the country. [18:26] They hate the buildings, they hate the people, they hate the art. [18:30] They have to close their borders and they have to take those bad people out. [18:34] The Press Press, thank you, sir. [18:38] Senator Slotkin, a Democrat, she says she wants there to be prosecutions [18:42] of Republicans to scare conservatives, young conservatives, from going into office. [18:47] The President, I know. I know. [18:47] That's a hell of a statement. [18:48] So, Slotkin said that there should be prosecutions [18:53] in order to scare people from going into politics. [18:57] That's a Democrat and that's what they do. [18:59] That's all they're good at. [19:01] And you know what? [19:02] That's why they're getting their asses kicked. [19:03] Mr. President... [19:05] The President, Mr. Farmers, the President of Farmers, sir. [19:08] Mr. President, you have a golf course right now. [19:21] It's old, it's tired, it's beaten up, it's useless. [19:26] It doesn't do much business. [19:28] We want to do something great for Washington. [19:30] We're going to basically build a better golf course. [19:32] You can call it a renovation. [19:34] It should be very simple, and it's something that the Department of [19:38] is allowed to do, absolutely. [19:40] All they want to do is fix up their property. [19:42] It's been allowed to get run down, bad, dangerous, [19:45] dirty, lousy, and it's going to be one of the great courses. [19:49] What event would you want to see here? [19:51] Let's see here.
