[0:00] so i want to go back to 2016 if we can because you and i have obviously traveled a pretty rocky road
[0:06] together you remember do you remember sir when i went on cnn with brianna keeler and she told me
[0:12] that you were underwater in the polls and i responded with those famous two words says who
[0:18] which became some worldwide meme and advocate and then they weaponized you like nobody's ever been
[0:25] weaponized like few have been well maybe just you and i sir and you yeah me too but i don't consider
[0:30] mine you know mine was mine was at a level that nobody's ever seen before but they weaponized you
[0:36] they weaponized a lot of people and i respect the fact that you recanted everything you said and
[0:43] that's a big that's a big thing that you did that's a very big thing sir you may remember
[0:49] you may remember that following morning you called me into the office after and then you gave me one
[0:53] of those um traditional trump slaps on the shoulder and you said to me f them you're stronger than them
[1:01] we've got this now the funny thing is that cnn never apologized they never retracted anything
[1:07] and now years later cnn ms now and the other left-leaning outlets they're doing the exact same
[1:14] thing constantly talking about you being underwater with favorability numbers mr mr president what do you
[1:22] say to these people who keep bringing up polls when you're not even running for office again what's
[1:27] the point and i think that we're doing really well in the polls the real polls if i were running today
[1:33] i think i'd win by 25 points i think we'd win by a lot the economy has never been stronger we're doing
[1:39] numbers that nobody's ever seen before you take a look at what's going on with venezuela it was a one day
[1:46] deal it was actually a 48 minute deal we had uh it was an attack where we took a truly bad person out
[1:53] of the country including the wife out of the country and now standing trial this was a very evil man
[1:59] and the country we are involved very much with the country taking out millions and millions of barrels
[2:05] of oil and that goes right into our treasury uh we've done and the venezuela was amazing and now
[2:12] with iran they will never have a nuclear weapon uh we were controlling essentially controlling and
[2:18] soon controlling the straits we're doing very well with iran the press doesn't like to say that although
[2:23] a lot of the press does say it you know because the navy's gone the air force is gone the leadership
[2:29] is gone part of the problem is so many of the leaders are gone it's not easy to make a deal nobody
[2:34] knows who's leading but i think the public sees what we're doing because iran can never have a nuclear
[2:39] weapon very simple and i think the public sees it and i think they appreciate it and they respect it
[2:45] and i tell them they'll be uh a little higher for your energy cost but they'll be a little bit higher
[2:51] for gasoline you know i had it down to a dollar 85 cents a barrel and then i said but we have to make
[2:56] a journey to the middle east because we can't let iran have a nuclear weapon and that's what happened
[3:01] and uh we've been very effective we've wiped them out militarily wiped out now they have some missiles
[3:08] they have some drones their capacity to build them is very low right now compared to what it was five
[3:14] months ago it was five months ago they were knocking them out now they it's very hard for
[3:19] them to knock out anything they're in bad shape they have inflation that's 300 percent their uh their
[3:25] currency is valueless you know it's virtually values their military is not being paid and so they're
[3:31] in bad shape but uh the key that the reason i did it and we had no choice and i would have done it again
[3:38] a hundred times and they cannot have a nuclear weapon and they won't be having a nuclear weapon
[3:42] and why not just then turn around and tell the american people you know the one thing that you may
[3:47] you may feel some frustration going on right now economically the price of gas and so on but why not
[3:52] just turn around and say to the american people you know what you get to do you get to go to sleep at
[3:57] night with knowledge that there will be no intercontinental ballistic nuclear missile
[4:04] being fired towards the united states because if they had it with their theocracy sir you know
[4:10] exactly what they would be doing right now so i do tell that the press doesn't get it out and i say
[4:18] it often i said it the other day at a big rally i had with the police out on i saw long island and we
[4:23] have these unbelievable rallies the rallies are potentially bigger than ever i mean if we did rallies
[4:29] as an example if we did rallies now nobody ever had rallies like this they're potential i think
[4:34] they're bigger than ever there's a great spirit for what's going on especially in light of what's
[4:39] happening with all these crazy theories and policies and lunatics that are running you have lunatics
[4:45] that would destroy the country and they're being put in the democrat party i think they'll be wiped out
[4:51] in the election because the people are too smart to allow that to happen it's never worked
[4:56] in a thousand years that stuff has never worked and it's not going to work now
[5:00] but they're not even smart people you know you watch some of them half of them can't even
[5:04] speak properly so uh i think we're doing very well we are letting people know about that we're letting
[5:10] people know that you know it's wonderful to say everything's good but you can't if you had a
[5:14] country like that and they're crazy if you had a country like that they would absolutely use the
[5:19] nuclear weapon without question and so i stopped that and i stopped it cold with the b2 bombers i also
[5:25] stopped it the jcpoa that was the obama deal that was such a disaster that he made years ago had that
[5:32] deal had i not terminated that deal iran would have a nuclear weapon and they would have used it very
[5:37] quickly they would have wiped out israel they would have wiped out the middle east and you saw that
[5:42] because when this thing started surprisingly to everybody they started shooting missiles at sort of
[5:48] semi-neutral country they were going after saudi arabia qatar they were going after uae kuwait bahrain
[5:57] and nobody really knew they were so involved and they started hitting everybody if they had a
[6:02] nuclear weapon they would have used it on everybody and uh look there would be no israel
[6:08] if there was a not a donald trump president i think there'd be no saudi arabia either right now
[6:13] i believe the middle east would have been entirely wiped out but israel definitely would have been
[6:18] wiped out there's no quite there would be they tell me that there would be no israel if there
[6:23] was no donald trump you know what surprised me was how did they end up with a thousand pounds
[6:29] of 60 percent enriched uranium when allegedly whether it was under biden whether it's under obama
[6:36] whether it was under every president but how did they end up with literally a thousand pounds of
[6:41] nuclear grade well soon to be made nuclear grade enriched uranium so when we hit them with
[6:48] the b2 bombers which was an amazing attack amazing deep into the night with no moon with no light no
[6:55] nothing and every bomb hit its mark and wiped their whole nuclear thing out and and it was in fact
[7:01] obliterated but when we did that uh people had no idea what to expect uh no idea you know you're going in
[7:11] there you're going into a very very dangerous place with these incredible machines and the job they did the
[7:17] job those machines and those pilots did was was really amazing but obama allowed that to happen
[7:24] uh biden allowed that to happen other presidents allowed that to happen this should have been done
[7:31] this has been going on for 50 years and this should have been you know it's been 47 but we talk about it
[7:35] for three or four years it's it's actually the number is 51 years but we say 47 because that seems to
[7:41] be the standard number that everyone uses but this was going on for 50 actually 51 years now and it
[7:47] should have been taken care of by other presidents or other countries and it wasn't and iran became the
[7:53] bully of the middle east they were bullying everybody around they were the boss and bad things were
[7:58] happening and they would have absolutely taken out israel and they would have absolutely taken out the
[8:03] middle east and i guess they would have shot at us too but had they had nuclear weapons if they had
[8:09] that capacity it would have been different now when we hit them with the b2 bombers they were
[8:14] exactly two weeks away from having a new nuclear weapon and that's why i had to do it because you cannot
[8:20] let them have that kind of a weapon but you know mr mr president that's a that's a time period that most
[8:27] people are completely unaware of that it was the imminence was there well they knew it but they forget it
[8:34] you know the one thing in politics like the border uh when i came in the border they allowed 25 million
[8:41] people many of them criminals many of them murderers many of them people from mental institutions drug
[8:47] dealers they were pouring into our country totally unchecked and unvetted i solved the problem in 30 days
[8:55] and solved it beautifully in 60 and at the end of 90 days nobody comes in in fact we have
[9:01] now as you know because they issue reports and they're not issued by me uh in the last 16 months
[9:08] zero people came in through our our horrible what was horrible southern border where it was just an
[9:14] open sieve it was an open wound and zero people came in so uh what happened so is people forgot about
[9:22] that they forgot we had a border problem we had i got elected partially on the border yeah by the way that
[9:28] happened two times when i ran in 2016 i got elected on the border was bad but it was never bad like this
[9:34] this was crazy where kamala was the borders are and she never spoke to the border patrol she never went
[9:39] there she was the border she knew less about the border than a child would know so uh i solved the border
[9:46] problem and nobody even talks about it i did things that you know because in politics i've found uh it's
[9:54] got a two-week week life a victory has a two-week life you solve a problem that was according to most
[10:02] insolvable and i did it literally in 30 days but i solved the problem early on and and beautifully we
[10:10] have a great border right now i mean people come into our country but they have to come in legally and
[10:14] they do come in legally but nobody comes to our southern border nobody not i mean literally it's hard to
[10:20] believe actually 25 million people came including murderers and believe so many others into our
[10:26] country and we get them out and we're getting them out but they came into our country and i solved it
[10:32] i solved the problem and when i want to talk about it experts you know the so-called experts if there's
[10:38] such a thing they say sir nobody cares about the border you solve the problem they forgot they don't
[10:43] talk about it so when you remind people they say wow you know the border was a real problem
[10:49] it was probably the biggest thing talked about during the election and i solved it quickly and
[10:55] effectively and everybody had missed that including the democrats i watched the democrats now apologizing
[11:01] they're saying we should have done that but you know there's a two-week life to things and it's a
[11:06] shame but when people hear it and all of the things that we've done we have more money being invested
[11:11] in the united states right now than at any time in the history of our country by a factor of five
[11:16] we're building more factories plants uh we are building factories for cars are moving in from
[11:24] as you know the factories from from canada where they left for canada they left for mexico they left
[11:29] for germany japan south korea they're all coming back toyota just announced honda just announced
[11:36] billions and billions of dollars are all pouring back they're coming in a lot of them are coming in
[11:41] from mexico people don't like to write that they're coming in because of tariffs we've made a fortune with
[11:46] tariffs a fortune so you know maybe mr president making a fortune michael it's brought people in
[11:52] yeah because companies are coming in because they don't want to make a car in germany or in mexico
[11:58] and have to pay a 25 percent tariff because it doesn't work for them so rather than paying the 25
[12:04] tariff is very simple some people still don't understand it but they're all building and in the
[12:10] next year and a half you're going to see uh buildings open and you already see it in the construction
[12:15] numbers the construction jobs in this country are through the roof and that's because of all the
[12:19] plants and factories being built all over our country there's never been it's a renaissance
[12:25] there's never been anything like it so maybe what we should do is then have a press conference and
[12:29] literally put out all of the accomplishments because what's happening boss you remember when i
[12:35] was by your side i literally used to analyze the polls right and you remember how much attention that
[12:41] i used to pay to that methodology i would come in i would say to you oh you know they're claiming
[12:46] that you're 31 that you're underwater but i showed you that the polls are crooked the polls are exactly
[12:52] the reporters as you know are crooked but many of them you have some great ones too but for the most
[12:57] part it's it's really but the sample size is roughly you read the new york times it's so dishonest when
[13:04] you read these things and they're not doing well look the reason they're not doing well is because
[13:08] they've lost a lot of credibility and now you do have great journalists you do have great reporters
[13:13] also many people are very good very very good i can name them but by naming them i'll leave some out
[13:20] but you also have a lot of people that see how good things are see how good things are with
[13:25] this the economy is a renaissance there's never been anything like it we had the greatest economy
[13:30] ever in my first term this is going to blow it away this is just going to blow it away and when these
[13:36] factories and plants and everything else are finished but already if you look at the jobs
[13:40] we're bringing in chips into our car we had no chips nothing we're zero they got stolen from us
[13:46] and they were brought to taiwan those companies are now all coming back we're building the biggest chip
[13:51] plants in the world right now mostly in arizona and we're going to have chips we're not going to have
[13:56] to import chips anymore it's uh amazing what's happening medicine is coming back you know we learned
[14:02] that from covet because we didn't make medicine we literally had to rely on ireland and china and other
[14:09] places for the medical and the medicine and they're all coming back eli lily's building six major plants
[14:17] merck is building they're all building pfizer they're building massive amounts of medical for
[14:23] pharmaceuticals and drugs of all kind and it's amazing including medical equipment the medical equipment
[14:30] business is through the roof because if they don't come back they have to pay big tariffs if they
[14:34] make it in germany or other places so they're building it here it's a what's happening now is a
[14:39] miracle i hope it gets properly reported sir why do you think that the media keeps pushing these polls
[14:46] these terrible poll numbers and what do you think that they're actually trying to accomplish
[14:50] by constantly telling the american people that your numbers are underwater well they're trying to
[14:55] take spirit away from people but the people know and i have polls and the polls are great if i ran right
[15:02] now everybody i beat everybody by many points many many points now the law precludes me from doing it
[15:10] unfortunately but the you know it's too bad because i frankly would love to do it but uh the law precludes
[15:18] me from doing it but if i ran right now but what i am doing is i'm helping some very good candidates get
[15:24] elected and the endorsement is second to none in history it's second to none we've had a a great
[15:30] period of years now where i endorse a candidate even in foreign countries i endorsed a man running
[15:36] in colombia el t gray and he ended up winning he was 10th in line and he ended up winning uh argentina
[15:44] kept him going so many countries i mean uh 15 16 17 countries but frankly more importantly uh when i
[15:52] endorse somebody running for the senate when i endorse somebody running for congress almost always
[15:59] they win almost always even if they have a huge deficit and i pick a lot of people that are not
[16:04] incumbents i mean i pick people that a lot of people never heard of and they win so uh it's been it's been
[16:11] quite amazing and it's uh it's something that we have to that i you know i consider to be extremely
[16:17] important and i have to be very judicious to be honest well in all fairness when you say it's an
[16:23] important important you sir have actually withstood possibly the most egregious weaponization of any
[16:31] politician in history i probably would stood the most egregious weaponization as a citizen i mean with
[16:37] all of the cases that were brought against you here's the thing that people don't know i of course
[16:43] know because i was there with you you successfully fight them you don't care you will fight them tooth
[16:50] and nail to the very end wall and all of this while you were still campaigning to be president 47.
[16:59] i want to ask you because i know how tough it was for me what was the toughest moment for you
[17:05] during that time period and actually did you think that you were not only fighting for your political
[17:11] life but for your freedom as well well i never think about tough i think about just getting it done
[17:18] but i had we had crooked politicians you knew that maybe better than anybody look you took back you
[17:24] recanted your testimony they forced you to do that they threatened you with jail they threatened you with
[17:30] everything if you didn't go against trump and you took it back i wouldn't even be talking to you right
[17:35] now if you didn't to be honest i mean you did something that very few people have done and some have
[17:41] to be honest they you know they saw what went on they weaponized government they went after you
[17:46] i remember when they attacked your office at on a saturday morning like at 6 or 5 30 in the morning
[17:51] and they the fbi went into your office and they raided your office it was disgraceful my home the
[17:58] hotel the law office yeah they did that and they you know it's a lot of people wouldn't have been able
[18:04] to take it you took it for a while in all fairness then they broke you down but you you came back look
[18:10] tish james and alvin bragg what they did to you and they used you and what you did was was actually
[18:17] a brave thing because you said what they did was wrong you agreed that your testimony they forced
[18:25] you to say things that you didn't want to say they forced you to say things that were false because they
[18:30] have a threat with jail and every other thing probably i don't know i've never spoke to you about that but
[18:35] probably the worst things that you can imagine they weaponized government against you and against
[18:41] others michael there were plenty of others too and it's a disgrace and i i think it's so amazing that
[18:47] you came out and you you told the story and people respect you for doing it well some people do and
[18:53] other people truly hate me with a passion they made you say things that weren't true with the threat of
[18:59] jail hanging over your head and everything else and you don't think people respect it they do respect
[19:05] it they respect that you were able to do that that you were able to you know say the truth because we
[19:11] have to but we're going to lose our country uh the biden administration and i don't know if it was biden
[19:16] biden was never smart 30 years ago he wasn't smart but he certainly wasn't smart in the last few years and
[19:22] uh so i don't know if it was biden but he was surrounded around that beautiful that beautiful uh oval
[19:29] office he was surrounded the resolute desk he was surrounded by vicious crazy people high iq you
[19:38] know many low iqs but high iq people that are nuts i mean radical left crazy people and they weaponize
[19:47] government you know i i get a kick out of every time they see not necessarily a kick but i get a kick
[19:53] out of everything every time i see they say oh trump is weaponist they weaponize government more than any
[20:00] administration in history by far think of it i got impeached twice and i did absolutely not remember
[20:07] the perfect phone i made a phone call that was perfect you know they impeached me and then they
[20:12] found out that the call was recorded it was uh they actually had uh marine stenographers but they
[20:20] essentially it was recorded and when they saw the call lancy pelosi said oh my god we impeached the guy we
[20:28] can't impeach him after this and then they said but let's keep going just let's keep going in other
[20:32] words when they found out what they impeached before when it was given and shown it was recorded
[20:40] yeah they went crazy don't you remember they did angry they did that to us from the beginning they
[20:48] did that to us from the very beginning people that did it michael yeah they got she got she said you got
[20:53] us into a mess anyway and i beat it the republican party was unanimous 100 percent when you hear that
[20:59] before but the republic was and we and we beat it i beat it twice but think of it i got him i got
[21:05] impeached twice that's weaponized i got indicted i won everything it was a beautiful thing but i went
[21:13] through hell but i got treated like nobody no president has ever been treated and i must say it's much more
[21:22] pleasant now than it was in the first term well you're also a different president today i mean
[21:26] let's go back to the very beginning the stupid steel dossier that fake nonsense how about the russia
[21:32] hoax also the fake they came after me with with steel bats and and you know and grenades it was
[21:39] unbelievable do you remember that time you called me boss into the office i was home and you said you
[21:43] know have you ever been to prague i said sir i don't even know what prague is and you said i guess you
[21:47] do it i'm like i know it's in prague i've never been there the man named michael cone was in prague
[21:52] and by being in prague i guess that was a bad thing because it was somebody in prague and they
[21:56] said you were there and it turned out in fact i asked you to go back and get your passport i wanted
[22:01] to see it i said you know he never went to prague it was a big story at the time they had michael cone
[22:06] and either it was another michael cone or the person didn't exist it did not exist yeah yeah they did not
[22:12] sir i want to ask you a question that i think is even more personal between the two of us why are
[22:18] people so viscerally angry that you and i have reconciled differences working to restore a 15 year
[22:26] plus friendship um why is it to these people that forgiveness seems to upset them so much because you
[22:36] did something that most people don't have the guts to do you told stories in order to get out of
[22:44] trouble and you thought about it and you recanted your testimony and most people don't have the guts
[22:53] to do that and by recanting you hurt them and frankly you were good to the president of the united
[23:02] states and to the country because you told the truth they forced you to say that i mean alvin bragg and
[23:09] latisha james two crooked people they forced you to do that i remember what was happening i said you
[23:15] know i don't know if somebody like michael is going to be able to hold out they forced you to do it it's
[23:21] happened before over the years many times probably you know many different things out in the wild west
[23:26] that happened but this was the united states of america and i watched it happen and michael you and
[23:32] i know people where it happened with others also the level of weaponization in this country was
[23:38] disgusting so when you went and told the truth the people that were on the left the radical left
[23:45] lunatics same people we have out there now it drove them crazy yeah it drove them you know i and i drive
[23:52] them crazy too because so many of them their their profile pictures are of a cross and they claim to be
[23:59] these devout christians and so on and i always write to them uh remember colossians right bear with each
[24:05] other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone forgive as the lord
[24:09] forgave you that bothers them even more than if i turn around and i say you know you know go scratch
[24:17] you're going to go down as a man with courage and frankly you weren't there when you did the other
[24:24] but you're going to go down as a man of courage great courage because you did something that a lot of
[24:30] people wouldn't have the guts to do but that's why they hate you because they basically hate you
[24:35] because you told the truth ultimately you told the truth and that was not good for their narrative
[24:41] these are vicious people and what they've done to our country is bad and now they're on the other side
[24:47] of it and we're not weaponizing we don't weaponize but when they've broken so many laws they've broken
[24:52] so many laws the lying they've done to congress i mean look at the lying where they made such lies to
[24:59] congress and so many other things it's a it's it's a very very amazing thing that you did and i think
[25:05] other people are going to be doing it also well i hope i certainly think other people see see what
[25:10] you've done and they learn by example but uh you know it's like people people greatly respect and
[25:17] i guarantee your family greatly respects what you did well you know i i want to say i want to say this
[25:22] to you in finality because i know you have country to run in i'm gonna sort of leave you alone here
[25:28] but you know when we were together because these you're not wrong these crazy leftists
[25:33] they're out of their minds literally when you and i sir were together and i remember boss when
[25:39] you used to say to keith and to me that your concern a concern was that somebody like what
[25:44] they did to bill gates remember that they threw something in him a cupcake or tomato whatever it was
[25:49] but sir we've gone way past that these days i mean people aren't throwing food at you anymore
[25:56] these these people are shooting at you and you know it it upset me terribly i reached out to a
[26:02] handful even at that point in time we really weren't um in on speaking terms and i i said please
[26:08] you know tell them to please be safe you're the president of the united states one attempt two
[26:13] attempt three four attempts even what's going on with this stupidity on the airplane and moving you
[26:20] out and and so on i'm so nauseated by them there is a huge difference between vehemently disagreeing
[26:26] with a policy and then trying to to literally assassinate the president of the united states
[26:32] mr president from your perspective i would say to that that and if you read only consequential
[26:38] presidents get shot well they only go after cons then do me a favor please don't be consequential
[26:43] how's that i know maybe i'll have to become less consequential right but uh if you look at it you
[26:49] know you look at the names a lot of people it's uh pretty high up there it's a dangerous job i understand
[26:56] that but we're careful we have a great people around me and and obviously it's gotten much much tougher
[27:03] over the years but it is true consequential you look at the people that were shot you look at the people
[27:10] that even the attempts but non-consequential presidents lead a much nicer life you can see
[27:16] that with some of our recent precedents when nothing nothing was even ever even thought about
[27:22] so but i appreciate what can i ask you just one last thing on that who do you think bears the
[27:27] greatest responsibility for creating this violent rhetoric do you think it's the far left the radical
[27:32] far left you think it's dsa that i got elected uh drove people crazy because my whole thing is
[27:41] free enterprise it's uh go out and make our country rich like we're doing a country is
[27:47] a country has never been in this position i mean we've never had anything like it where this is a
[27:52] renaissance we're bringing back the medical business we're bringing back the automobile business
[27:57] we're leading china in ai by a lot you know we wouldn't lead anybody i mean i'm letting them build
[28:03] their own power plants you know they're not taking these ai plants which are very big they're not taking
[28:08] the power from the grid because the grid doesn't have the power it's old tired uh we're taking the
[28:14] power they're making their own power plants they're building the most beautiful you've never seen power
[28:18] plants like there's people that have made power for 40 years are saying we've never seen anything like
[28:23] it these big buildings that are open they're making their own power they're not taking it
[28:29] and communities frankly communities that don't take a data center they're making a mistake because
[28:33] there's plenty of communities that want them because it means jobs and it means tremendous tax revenue
[28:38] coming into the towns and cities that take them so you know it's like uh the smart ones are saying
[28:44] i want them so badly uh but uh and you you put guards up you put the guardrails up but these uh
[28:51] data centers throw off tremendous amounts of jobs and money and yet we don't hear all the positives all
[28:57] we keep getting is the negatives oh the reflection pool oh you know the the ballroom oh you know the
[29:05] it's well these things are all great things in our country i'm fixing the white house it was it
[29:09] hasn't been properly fake you have to see the outside of it was literally pieces of stone were
[29:17] pouring off the building it was so well i can't wait to come see you there i want to see the ballroom
[29:22] i want to see all the improvements that have been made i you know i remember what it looked like before
[29:26] you know you're talking about peanuts compared to what we're you know doing in the large scale but
[29:31] fixing the white house hasn't been so it was built in 1792 uh the exterior of the building is in such
[29:39] bad shape and now it's beautiful now it's beautiful it's been totally fixed to rejointed
[29:45] stones were literally falling off the building uh big holes and things hooks that were put up a hundred
[29:51] years ago that were rotting and rusting and nobody ever did anything it just it was in very bad shape
[29:56] and now it's flawless it's beautiful and we're not talking about a lot of money you're talking about
[30:01] peanuts but it's a symbol we have to do that for years they've wanted for 150 years they've wanted a
[30:07] ballroom but more importantly perhaps is it's a part of it is a military complex it's a drone port
[30:14] bomb shelters it's got everything and uh i would say most of it is a military complex but the ballroom
[30:21] is so needed and especially when you see all the things that are happening in the world it's not just
[30:26] us it's all over the world it's become it's a violent world and when you're in that room you're safe
[30:32] that's uh it's drone proof it's bulletproof it's got uh facilities you know when you saw that
[30:39] disaster that took place with the event with the white house correspondence center that could never
[30:44] happen here you know it could never happen here so it's very important that it would be done but
[30:49] they've been wanting they've been calling for a room you know the east room was a little room 89 people
[30:54] and when president she comes in a couple of weeks we'll be using the east room but i would have two or
[31:01] three thousand people everybody wants to be there for presidency they all want to meet them you know
[31:06] like them or not they want to meet them everybody wants to be there only a few people can be there
[31:11] because we have never had you know in china they have a thing called the great hall of china if you
[31:16] want to see a big hall they have the great hall of china we have 89 seats with at a table we have 89
[31:23] people and uh if you really make it tight you'll get a hundred so it's uh it's something that's been
[31:30] needed for 150 years and i'm as you know better than anybody i'm very good at building yeah i'm
[31:34] the best at building well let's certainly something that i think it'll be the most beautiful ballroom
[31:39] in the world but more importantly it's a military complex too that that the white house has wanted
[31:44] to build for 50 60 years uh the helipad is also being built you know the helicopters would land on the
[31:50] grass which is dangerous and bad and they had guys standing out there that put little pieces of steel
[31:57] down so the helicopter's wheels could land on the seal and if they missed it was very bad because
[32:02] it's sinking to the ground and that's bad you know bad things gonna happen and i put up a heliport
[32:08] and it's beautiful it's been you know really people really respect it the military was asking me would
[32:14] you do that would that be possible and i did it it'll be beautiful i don't want it it's going to open
[32:18] very shortly so a helicopter now can actually land on a helipad as opposed to trying to hit the steel
[32:24] tablets that they put they call them tablets little steel tablets that are a little bit larger than
[32:29] the wheels now the good news is the pilots are the best in the world so they really don't have much of
[32:33] a problem those pilots that do they caught marine one they're the best in the world but they've wanted
[32:39] a helipad i said let's do the helipad so every 200 years somebody's going to come along that's a
[32:45] real estate guy and i did that i probably do that stuff better than anybody and maybe better than
[32:51] anything i do i don't know maybe i do it better than anything i do but now the white house skin
[32:55] is all redone and beautiful it's in the process i wonder whether or not future presidents are going
[33:00] to thank you i wonder if the american people down the road because you know nobody ever thanks you
[33:04] today today they want to attack you but yet tomorrow they're going to be like you know what
[33:09] that actually was a pretty good idea that you know building that bunker underneath the ballroom or
[33:15] building a large ballroom so that many many people can come and to uh go to one of these state
[33:21] dinners and so on or to have the washington correspondence dinner and many sometime down
[33:27] the road that's usually what happens it's usually after the presidency is over well you know um i think
[33:35] they will actually and i think they're already starting out we got some very good press yesterday i
[33:39] went out there and i gave a little news conference and showed what we're doing i also showed how we've
[33:45] skinned the it's called skinning the white house made it beautiful take it all the all the uh stuff that
[33:52] was full of i mean literally the plaster they have you know they have exterior coats of of uh
[33:58] plaster different forms of mortar all different types all different years it was a mess it was
[34:03] when you looked up at the wall if you were like somebody like me i'd say man is that wall in bad
[34:08] shape and now it's absolutely flawless when you you'll see it when you see it and it's going to be uh
[34:14] you know it's already being talked about as well i think they're going to appreciate it i think they'll
[34:18] really appreciate the boom again they've been you know the only thing is in years to come they'll
[34:22] say i wish you built it bigger okay that's going to be i don't know sir it's sorry it's kind of big
[34:28] it's kind of i'm telling you they'll say i wish you built it bigger so anyway but it's a it's going to
[34:32] be the most beautiful anywhere in the world but when you look at the great hall of china this thing is
[34:37] unbelievable and we're going to top it you know this is going to top it and it's going to be something
[34:42] really special and uh i wish we could have it a little bit sooner because you know michael a lot
[34:48] of people don't realize this the people that do they say well you know you should say that a little
[34:52] bit more but yes you should using it a few months no yes you should the president they should be
[34:58] talking about it all the time and and put an end to the to the attacks the ongoing consistent
[35:06] attacks against every single thing that you do including including this anti-weaponization fund
[35:11] i mean this is not supposed to be at the top of the agenda you had a lawsuit the lawsuit was
[35:16] settled what about people like me who were weaponized against right i haven't sent a lot of
[35:22] people and a lot of people talking about i'm not talking about just j6 i'm talking to people were
[35:27] weaponized mostly in the obama and the biden administration that have been treated so unfairly
[35:34] so unfairly and you know frankly i think the weaponization fund was extremely
[35:40] extremely popular if you want to because they know that what what happened to people but anyway
[35:47] we uh i will always be fighting for those people that got i mean we had many suicides people committed
[35:54] suicide over this over this over the way they were treated by the biden administration and obama too
[36:01] obama administration also but the biden administration was nasty and i don't think it was him because i don't
[36:09] think he was smart enough to know what the hell was happening to be honest with you but he has he had
[36:13] very vicious people that i know they work now at microsoft they work now at other companies and it's
[36:20] a disgrace they have good jobs they have they're on cnn some of these fbi slobs that left uh they go to cnn and
[36:29] their commentators at cnn making money and they were crooked as hell they were dirty cops they were dirty cops
[36:35] but uh they're doing well there are these massive law firms i can just say that i appreciate and a
[36:44] lot of people appreciate what you did by really deciding to go out and tell the truth and what
[36:51] people people respect that greatly michael well sir i look for a certain a certain element it's a sick
[36:58] element yeah it's a radical left element but it's uh they could be upset with you but there's a lot of
[37:04] people a vast majority of people don't forget uh in terms of you know ideology i won the popular
[37:11] vote by a lot we won seven out of seven swing states we won 86 of the counties in the country think
[37:19] of that uh you know the electoral college obviously i won by a lot so you know there's a big group of
[37:26] people that respect what you did they should be reading my substack mr president i thank you for
[37:31] joining me on when you know you know more importantly i look forward to seeing you very
[37:36] soon um i want to definitely take a look at that ballroom you know i want to give it the uh michael
