Trump: THIS was the WORST deal ever made...

[0:02] All right. We continue more with President Trump. We held this interview right after his all-important meeting with President Xi as we continue from Beijing, China. [0:11] If you were to take some headlines out of this summit, America, I'm sure, watched the reception. [0:23] And I'll do a side-by-side of the reception of then-President Obama. [0:28] He doesn't respect Obama. Nobody does. Highly overrated. And he's a divider. [0:33] Biden will go down as the worst president in history because, I think, what he did on the border. [0:39] And how do you explain your relationship with President Xi? Because it seems as cordial as it can be. [0:46] He doesn't seem like the warmest guy in the world on the outside. [0:49] He is. He's warm. I mean, look, he's smart. He's a very smart person. But we have a good relationship. [0:55] No, he has to respect somebody. He's no games. He's not like, let's talk about how did the Yankees do last night. [1:04] You know, who cares? They don't care. He's all about China. It's, you know, it's a consummate thing. [1:15] Their economy is hurting. [1:16] I don't know. I've been hearing that about them for 40 years, that their economy is hurting. [1:21] I've been hearing about it. I'm always hearing about it. [1:23] Look, we want to open it up. It's massive. And we want to get all of those companies and many more in there and make a lot of money and a lot of jobs for America. [1:33] That's all. It's very simple. And I've done it better than anybody else. [1:37] Our deficit's way down from what it used to be, way down with China. [1:40] China. And this could end any deficit with China. China's been very good. [1:45] China treated our presidents with great disrespect. [1:51] You know, like we have a lot of presidents. And I was a Reagan fan and am. I liked him. [1:57] I thought he was great, a great style and everything. But he was not good on trade. [2:00] We lost the car industry to Japan and Germany and others. People have liabilities and whatever. [2:10] But we had some presidents that were really, really bad. They allowed our country to be just absolutely decimated. [2:18] And when you look at what happened with Biden, when you look at what happened, the way everybody treated him, there was zero respect. [2:26] Obama, too. The Iran nuclear deal was the worst deal, one of the worst deals ever made. [2:30] And if I didn't go in and terminate that deal, Iran would have a nuclear weapon and they would have used it. [2:37] We wouldn't even maybe sitting here right now. Can I ask you this, though? [2:41] But, Sean, they would have used it, the Iran nuclear deal. [2:43] I agree with you. [2:44] Then if I didn't go in with the B-2 bombers nine months ago, they would have had a nuclear weapon. [2:48] And by the way, the one thing they told me, because I deal with the Iranian leaders now a little bit, [2:54] they said very strongly, they said, because they said, we're getting the nuclear dust. [2:59] That was a term I made up because it's sort of, you know, it's a simpler term for people to understand. [3:04] It's nuclear dust, sort of dusty. [3:07] But I said, we get the nuclear dust. [3:09] They said, you will get it. [3:11] They agreed to it, right? [3:12] They agreed to it. [3:13] But then they take it back and they agree. [3:15] You know, it's back and forth. [3:16] I don't know. [3:16] I think they have a lot of problems with the leadership. [3:18] But, Sean, I said, we get the nuclear dust. [3:22] They said, there's only two countries that can get it. [3:25] I said, who, you and China, nobody else has the technology. [3:29] I said, why do you say? [3:30] He said, because when you hit that thing, the whole mountain collapsed on it. [3:35] I said, so you're saying we really hit it good, didn't we? [3:38] He said, there's no way that any normal country can, the only two countries that can go down and get that are you and China. [3:44] It's very interesting. [3:45] Because CNN was saying, well, maybe it wasn't hit that badly. [3:49] It was hit. [3:50] And what they did is they took a lot of credit away from those great B-2 pilots and the tomahawk submarines. [3:57] And, you know, we had the submarine shooting tomahawks in there, 30 tomahawks. [4:01] We obliterated it. [4:04] And before the pilots even go back, I remember CNN saying, well, maybe it wasn't hit that badly. [4:11] Maybe it wasn't. [4:12] They didn't even know anything. [4:13] And they were saying that the top person said to me, there's two countries that can get that. [4:21] We can't get it even if we wanted to, because we don't have the technology or the equipment. [4:26] They said, us and China. [4:27] It's very interesting. [4:29] 60% enriched uranium could be weapons-grade, 90% enriched in under 12 days. [4:35] Yeah. [4:36] And they were bragging to your Middle East envoy, Steve Wyckoff. [4:39] If I didn't go in with the B-2 bombers that week, that day, that week, they would right now have a nuclear bomb. [4:46] So it was that imminent? [4:48] Well, I thought so. [4:49] The intelligence told you so. [4:51] I thought that they were very close to having a nuclear weapon. [4:56] And it all emanated from those three sites that we hit. [4:59] And we hit them good. [5:01] We hit them good. [5:02] And when he told me that, and he wasn't saying that as a negotiator. [5:06] He just said, we can't get it. [5:07] We'll never be able to get it. [5:09] They're not. [5:09] You know, you've got to move like the weight of a mountain. [5:12] And it was a granite mountain. [5:14] Those bombs went right down air chutes. [5:16] I guarantee they'll never build an air chute again. [5:19] This is the bunker. [5:19] Think of it. [5:20] At 1 o'clock in the morning with no moon, we dropped bombs. [5:24] Every one of those bombs went down an air chute and exploded. [5:28] And the whole mountain collapsed on top of that site. [5:31] And the Iranian leaders told me that they would be, and everybody else, [5:37] other than literally set us in China. [5:39] And I don't know that China can do it. [5:41] I know we can do it. [5:41] But it's a big project. [5:43] To get it, it's a big project. [5:44] Do you feel there's been people that have, and generals that I've spoken to, [5:49] that think you have to get the dust, which is the enriched uranium? [5:54] Or have you been told there may be a way to entomb it, [5:59] that they could never get to it? [6:02] So we were thinking about doing it early on. [6:06] And it would take a while. [6:09] It would take a week and a half. [6:10] That's a long time to be in an enemy territory. [6:12] No, you've got to move these massive amounts of granite. [6:15] You know, it's a granite. [6:16] Granite's the hardest stone. [6:18] It's amazing that it's, you know, what, [6:21] those were really powerful bombs that we used. [6:24] And don't forget, we hit it on top of that. [6:26] We hit tomahawks on top of that. [6:28] No, I don't think it's necessary. [6:30] Except from a public relations standpoint. [6:33] I think it's important for the fake news that we get it. [6:36] I'm the one that said we're going to get it. [6:38] And we're going to get it. [6:40] We have our eye on it. [6:42] So Space Force was my creation. [6:44] I did that on my first term. [6:46] It's going to end up going down as one of the most important of all of our military. [6:50] So it can be entombed. [6:52] Yeah, it can be. [6:54] With eyes on it. [6:54] It can be. [6:55] But I'd rather get it, to be honest with you. [6:57] It can be. [6:57] A lot of things can happen. [6:58] But, and even despite the statement that, you know, they can't get it. [7:03] They are, first of all, if we left right now, it would take Iran 25 years to rebuild. [7:10] And it can never be like it was. [7:12] It would take 25 years. [7:14] I'd rather get it. [7:16] But we have our eyes on it. [7:18] You know, we know exactly what's happening there. [7:20] We had, the other day, there was a man that tried to get into the chute. [7:23] You know, we saw there was a door that was blown to smithereens. [7:27] And we know everything that's happening. [7:29] If they ever moved on it. [7:31] And I told them that if they have sent a force over there to try where I see somebody's trying, [7:37] all we'll do is just hit it with a couple of bombs. [7:39] And that's going to be the end of that. [7:40] They won't do it. [7:41] I said, we have, we have nine cameras on that site, on those three sites, 24 hours a day. [7:49] We know exactly what's happening. [7:50] Nobody's even gotten close to it. [7:52] They looked at it at the beginning and they said, there's no way that anybody can ever [7:57] get down to the nuclear dust. [8:00] Do you think it's- [8:01] But I'd still rather have it. [8:02] I'd rather get it. [8:04] I'd just feel better if I got it, actually. [8:07] But I think it's more for public relations than it is for anything else. [8:12] The other thing we could do is bomb it again, just make it absolute. [8:16] But I just, I would feel better getting it. [8:19] And we will get it. [8:20] Let me go back to a question that has come up before for you. [8:24] And I want to get into more detail because we are in Beijing. [8:28] The issue of Chinese students in our universities, more importantly, in my mind, is that Chinese [8:36] nationals have been buying up thousands and thousands of acres of farmland, ranch land, [8:43] and land near military installations. [8:45] Now, I would assume I'm in Beijing if I wanted to buy property near one of their military [8:52] installations. [8:54] I don't think President Xi- [8:55] No, they wouldn't let Xi. [8:55] I don't. [8:56] Look, it's not that I love it. [8:58] You want to see farm prices drop. [9:00] You want to see farmers lose a lot of money. [9:02] Just take that out of the market. [9:04] But they've had a lot of land for a long time. [9:09] Obama did nothing about it. [9:11] They bought a lot of it during the Obama administration. [9:14] He did nothing about it. [9:16] And as far as the students, it's 500,000 students that come, good students. [9:23] I could tell them I don't want any students is a very insulting thing to say to a country. [9:32] They would then immediately go out and start building universities all over China. [9:37] But if you don't have those students, good students, by the way, if you don't, and we [9:41] do another thing, you know, if they're good and they want to stay in America, we won't [9:45] give them a green card and things like that. [9:47] I'm, you know, and that's not only them, but other countries. [9:51] But if you want to see a university system die, take a half a million people out of it. [9:58] And, you know, the ones that won't be hurt are the top schools. [10:01] The top schools will do fine. [10:02] But your lower schools, your lower, the ones that don't do quite as well, those two, they'll [10:09] be dying all over the place. [10:11] I frankly think that it's good that people come from other countries and they learn our [10:16] culture and many of them want to stay here. [10:18] I think it's good. [10:19] Not everybody agrees with me. [10:22] And it doesn't sound like a very conservative position. [10:25] And I'm as conservative. [10:27] I'm a conservative guy. [10:29] I'm really a common sense guy, I think, more than a conservative guy. [10:32] I think MAGA is common sense. [10:33] You know, people understand we want strong borders. [10:37] We want strong military. [10:38] We want good education. [10:39] We want low interest rates. [10:41] You know, we want. [10:41] But I think people would argue they worry about do they have nefarious intentions. [10:45] Sure, I know. [10:46] And we worry about that. [10:47] And honestly, you know, they do things to us and we do things to them. [10:52] It's a very, very fine line, the whole thing with students. [10:58] So they have 500,000 students. [11:02] And our university system does great. [11:07] You know, it does great. [11:10] You want to screw it up, take a half a million students out. [11:12] And you're going to see bankruptcies at the lower end of good colleges, but they're not [11:18] known or whatever. [11:20] You're going to have a lot of problems. [11:21] So it's something I'm always looking at. [11:24] But it's a very insulting thing to tell a country, we don't want your people in our schools. [11:31] I mean, it really is. [11:32] Now, I'll have people say, oh, that's a terrible thing. [11:34] You know, it is a very insulting thing. [11:39] And it's very interesting. [11:42] It's something that didn't come up today. [11:43] It came up last time. [11:45] It came up last time. [11:46] But I will tell you that school systems don't want that to happen because you won't have [11:51] much of a school system. [11:52] All right, Mr. President, when they look through the history books, this summit, what will people [11:58] be saying 10 years from now? [12:00] Well, I think it's a very historic summit. [12:02] It's the two great countries. [12:04] I call it the G2. [12:05] This is the G2. [12:06] They have G7. [12:07] They have the G8. [12:08] This is the G2. [12:08] And I think it will go down as a very important moment in history. [12:13] And maybe more than anything else, a great moment of respect. [12:17] Mr. President, we appreciate your time. [12:19] Thank you very much. [12:20] Thank you very much. [12:20] Thank you. [12:21] All right. [12:21] Thanks for watching. [12:22] Check out my new podcast, Hanging Out With Me, Sean Hannity.
