lines. and i appreciate your comments, to mr. scott, but there's something i think that again common sense needs to be engaged in pilot projects that you all are moving forward with, look for to hearing about some results on the issue. >> thank you. we will as soon as we can get the result out but also those in the national guard and reserves -- >> we will step away from this discussion to go to remarks from president trump recorded just before he left for kentucky just a short time ago. >> this is a product that is made right now that just came out i johnson & johnson which has a tremendously positive, pre-short-term but nevertheless, a positive effect. i've instructed the head of the v.a. to go out and buy a lot of it, and we are buying a lot of it are culturally, we're getting it at a very good cost. this is, i guess it's a form of

a stimulus where it somebody is really in trouble on the standpoint of suicide, it can do something. it's pretty well-known, just came out. it's made by idly johnson & johnson and we've called it now the johnson & johnson, those calls were drinking with them for two months but buying a lot of it. [inaudible] denmark. i look forward to going but i thought the prime minister statement that it was absurd, that it was an absurd idea, was nasty. i thought it was an inappropriate statement. also introducing no, we wouldn't be interested. but we can't treat the united states of america the way they treated us under president obama. i thought it was a very not nice way of saying something. they could've told me know, this is something that's been discussed for many years. harry truman had the idea of

greenland. i had the idea that other people about the idea. it goes back into the early 1900s, harry truman very strongly thought it was a good idea. i think it's a good idea because denmark is losing $700 million a year with it. it doesn't do them any good, but all they have to do is say no, we would rather not do that, or we would rather not talk about it. don't say what an absurd idea that is. because she's not talking to me. excuse me. she's not talking to me. she's talking to the united states of america. you don't talk to the united states that way. at least under me. now, president obama when it wouldn't let him land in the philippines, when they treated him so badly in so many places, the philippines is one that comes to mind, that's different. that's different. they can treat in any way they want to. that's up to him, but they can't treat the united states with a statement, how absurd.

[inaudible] >> let your wife do it. who's the boss? >> i am the boss. >> i agree. she's the boss, i agree. go ahead. a lot of people. yes. got a lot of people watching. go ahead. >> with regard to background checks and why should anyone to buy a back and check go through a background check? what 12 that. >> was what we're doing is i want and spin hands the people are mentally stable. and those people, i want them to easily be able to get a gun. the people that are insane, people that are sick up here, i don't want them to be able to get a gun. [inaudible] >> if a person is sick, if a person is mentally ill, if a person has done things in the past that are a horror like in the case of dayton, except he got expunged because i guess he was 17 years old, when you go to

list out, a list about death, not about guns. he had a kill list and get a rape list. but it was 17 and one of the things were talk about is getting rid of the age limit. he was 17 so when he turns 18 it was expunged. we didn't find out about that. and in big% of the schools, the parents would let the kids go to that school because they heard about it. okay? it was a very big thing. when he was 18 it all went away. we can't let that happen. [shouting] [inaudible] >> one hundred people a day die from guns. do you see that as a public health emergency? >> i do, i do, sure. i do. and they die for a lot of other reasons, too, but they do. and as i said i think i said it very loudly and plainly and i don't think i've changed positions at all. we're working on background checks. there are things we can do but we already have very serious rent checks. we have strong background checks

we can close the gaps. we can do things that are very good at things that frankly get owners want to have done but we also have to remember they gun doesn't pull the trigger. a person does and we have great mental illness. [shouting] [inaudible] >> go ahead. >> and prosecute the antifa demonstrate under law that it's a federal crime. >> riper were looking at a lot of different things relative to antifa. antifa, in my opinion, is a terrorist organization. you see what they've been doing. we've had great support of that. we're looking at various different things. [inaudible] >> go ahead, behind you. behind you. >> are you looking in additional land to update? >> no. we're just looking. green was just an idea, just a thought. but i think when they say it was

absurd and do sit and a very nasty, very sarcastic way, i said we'll make it some other time. we'll go to denmark. i love denmark. i've been to denmark, and, frankly, we will do it another time. [inaudible] respect has to be shown to the united states. yesterday you said americans use vote for democrats a dislocated to whom are they being disloyal, sir? and if -- [inaudible] >> so i have been responsible for a lot of great things, for israel. one of them was moving the embassy to jerusalem, making jerusalem the capital of israel. one of them was the golan heights. one of them frankly is iran. iran is a very far we can nation but not much different, hoping something works out. we'll see what happens. if it happens it happens. wait, wait. no present as evident anywhere close to what i've done.

with the golan heights, jerusalem, i rented and other things. excuse me. wait a minute. wait a minute. no president has done what i've done. we have a group, i call it aoc plus three. you could call the person represented to lead come you can say represent over. you can go anywhere you want to go. they are anti-semites. against israel. she had a plan to greatly embarrass israel by going there with the fact that she want to see her grandmother. i assume that's true. i hope that's true. but it was very bad, very bad. the things that she and others of that group, and other democrats have said, and they have become the face of the democratic party. and i will tell you this. in my opinion, the democrats have gone very far away from israel. i cannot understand how they could do that. they don't want to fund israel.

they want to take away foreign aid to israel. i want to do a lot of bad things to israel. in my opinion, you vote for a democrat, you are being very disloyal to jewish people and you are being very disloyal to israel. and only weak people would say anything other than that. [inaudible] >> i haven't heard anybody say that. just the opposite. i think that if you vote for a democrat, you are very, very disloyal to israel and to the jewish people. [inaudible] >> well, i met 94% now in the republican party, the highest in history, i savini republican. so i think they would have a hard time. -- the highest republican. [inaudible] >> they annex crimea.

>> that was outsmarting obama. [inaudible] >> russia outsmarted president obama. they took over during his term, not during mine, crimea. >> they are still there. >> they took over crimea and stop being an organ of the democrats. just let me answer the questions are answered very easily. it's a very a very simple question. the fact is president putin totally outsmarted resident obama on crimea, and other things. including the red line in the sand, all right? he outsmarted, he made a living on outsmarting president obama. and, frankly, because of it, obama was upset and get obama out of what was the g8 into the g7. it's come up. that we put russia backing. we spent a lot of time talking about russia at those meetings,, and they are not bigger i think would be a good thing if russia were there so we could speak directly not have to speak, you

know, by telephone and other things. here's the thing. it's a vote of what's now the g7. they would take it out because putin outsmarted on crimea, on the red line, on other things, totally outsmarted obama. obama was upset. they took them out. i think russia should be a part of it because we looking for world peace, and other things, trade and other things, and it would be a lot easier to rush in where they had always been. [inaudible] >> i read the state report as you. on the looking to do indexing. i've studied indexing for a long time. i think it will be perceived by do it as somewhat elitist. i don't want to do that.

i want taxes for the middle class, the workers, the people that work so hard, that's what i'm looking. i think indexing is really probably better for the upper income groups. i'm not looking to do that, but if i wanted to do i believe i could. i would need a letter from the attorney general. [inaudible] >> so the fake news, of which many of you are members, is trying to convince the public to have a recession. let's have a recession. the united states is doing a nominally well. but one thing i have to do is economically take on china. because china has been ripping us off for many years. president clinton, president bush and president obama, and others, should have done this long before me. my life would be much easier, although i enjoy doing it, but my life would be much easier if

i just said that china continue to rip off the united states, all right? it would be much easier but i can't do that. we are winning against china. they've lost 2.5 million jobs and a very a very short period of time. they want to make a deal. it's got a b deal that's good for the united states, where they want to make a deal, probably we will make a deal, but if i didn't do that, and i'm not doing -- some basic it is trump's trade war. this isn't my trade war. this this is a trade war that sd of taken place a long time ago by a lot of other presidents. over the last five or six years china has made $500 billion, 500 billion, ripped it out of the united states. nathalie that, if you take a look, intellectual property theft. add that to it and add a lot of other things to it. so somebody -- excuse me. somebody had to do it. i am the chosen one. somebody had to do it.

so i'm taking on china. on taking on china on trade. and you know what? we are winning. because we are the piggy bank. where the one that all these countries, including the european union, wants to rob and take advantage of. european union, $200 billion. china more than $500 billion. sorry. i was put here, i was put here by people, i was put here by people to do a great job and that's what i'm doing. and nobody has done a job like i've done. now, with -- with china rather wait for little more than a year and try and get sleepy joe biden to negotiate with instead of president trump? may be. but i don't think so. do you know why? they are losing too many jobs to fastly. they had the worst year in 27 years. but it think was actually 52 or 54 years. the worst year they've had in half a century. and that's because of me. and i'm not proud of that, but

you know what? they want to negotiate. and sleepy joe doesn't have a clue. sleepy joe said china is wonderful. well, china is wonderful for china. but i wonderful for the usa. [inaudible] well, the prime minister used the terrible word when describing something that we've been talking about for years with our country. president truman said what about greenland? he talked about it very openly and is a big deal at the time. and i brought up again and it was discussed many of the times, and i thought it was not a nice weight the way she blew me off because she's blowing off the united states. we've done a lot for denmark. we done a lot i know denmark well. i have many friends from denmark, many people from denmark to live in the united states, and we treat countries

with respect. she shouldn't treat the united states that way by saying what -- she said absurd. it's not the right word to use, absurd. [inaudible] >> louder. [inaudible] >> well, if you remember, resident obama had separation. president obama built the cells that he built the cages that you people always talk about and attribute them to me. president obama in 2014 built those cages and you are very embarrassed when the "new york times" as usual, and others, put a picture of a cage who said how bad trump was. only to find it he doesn't -- was as obama who built those cages. the present obama had separation. i'm the one who brought us together. this new rule will do even more to bring them together. but it was present obama that

had the separation. [inaudible] we are very strong at the board of the cusip numbers they are way, way down. i want to thank, want to thank mexico for that. benighted states could make your question, could make that problem that waiver easily if the democrats would meet and we could fix the loopholes and the file, which is what you're talking about to an extent. but let me just tell you, very much i have the children on my mind. it bothered me very greatly. people make this horrible 2000-mile journey. 11 of the things that will happen when they realize the borders are closing, the wall is being built, we are building tremendous numbers of miles of wall right now, in different locations it all comes together like a beautiful puzzle. but one of the things that's happening when they see you can't get into the united states, or when they see if they do get in the united states they

will be brought back to the country, it won't matter if they get in or not because we are doing that, they won't come. and many people will be saved, and many women's lives will not be destroyed and ruined. [inaudible] >> i'm not looking at a tax cut that we don't need it. we have a strong economy are certainly a payroll tax cut because present obama did that in order to artificially jack up the economy. president obama had zero interest rates. i don't have zero interest. i have a real interest rate. despite that i have a strong economy. president obama did tonight payroll tax cut and despite that i have a much stronger economy. and if you look at my numbers from november 9, look at november 9 to the present, the stock market is up over 50%. [shouting] [inaudible]

>> the most biased report at nbc. nbc. i made a lot of money for nbc with the apprentice and i used to like them but they're the most biased. peter is such a aspect he should come he should be able to ask a question, same question in a better way. you are so obviously biased and that's why the public has no confidence in the media. go ahead. joe biden doesn't -- let me just silly about joe biden jill biden doesn't have it. [inaudible] is that there again? >> jill biden doesn't have. go ahead. ask your question. [inaudible] >> welcome i think the "new york times" now has totally lost credibility. they've given up on the russian collusion delusion and that what they're doing is they're trying the racist deal and that's not going to work because i am the least racist person ever served in office, okay? i am the least racist person but

new times, they're trying everything they can pick it is a totally diss honest newspaper. the paper that really has lost tremendous credibility and let me tell you, in six years, or maybe ten or maybe 14, right? in six years when i'm not here, the new times goes out of business very quickly. and you know who else goes out? like nbc news and abc news has less credibility in my opinion with guys like you then seen it. i think cnn has more credibility. [inaudible] >> did you hear what i said? i suggest more credibility than this guy. go ahead. and that's not saying much because i don't think you, do you know what? do you know why? because i don't think you very much credibility but i will tell you this. nbc i think is less credibility than cnn. that's not saying much but that's the way i feel.

[inaudible] >> you focus on mental health issues. >> mental health is very important. >> there are many, many things and play. people talk but because, people talk about lots of different things. but we do have a way of bringing that we have many, many as you know with many, many people unable to buy guns are another many people are unable to buy guns. with background checks but there are loopholes in the background checks and that's what i spoke to the nra about yesterday. they want to get rid of the loopholes as well as i do. at the same time i don't want to take away peoples second amendment rights. i do want to take away the constitution, having to do with gun ownership. and you know we can't let that -- were talking to background checks and all of a sudden we talked about let's take everybody's gone away.

people need weapons unfortunately for protection. >> how does an and/or a talking point -- >> it's a trump talking point. you approve one thing and then another thing and then another thing, and all of a sudden you are on that slope and all of a sudden nobody has any legal protection. we have a second amendment -- let me just tell you this. we have a second amendment and our second amendment will remain strong. [inaudible] >> go ahead. jeff, go ahead. [inaudible] >> well, you know, at a certain point, russia, afghanistan, iran, iraq, turkey, they will have to fight their battles, too. okay? we wiped out the caliphate 100%. i did it in record time. but at a certain point all of these other countries where isis

is around them they have been decimated by the way, badly decimated. but all of these countries are going to have to fight them. because we want to stay there for another 19 years? i don't think so. so at a certain point other countries, that includes russia and it includes iran and turkey and iraq and afghanistan, and pakistan and india. look, india is right there. they are not fighting it. we are fighting it. pakistan is right next door. they are fighting it. very little. very, very little. not fair. the united states with 7000 miles away, we have decimated isis. you haven't been hearing much about isis and we took the caliphate, 100%. when i took it at isis all right, maybe we go home now. let these other countries handling of you and went crazy.

they said do 100% of faith it is going to take a year. it took me a month and they are gone. the caliphate is gone. and by the way, we are holding thousands isis fighters right now. and europe has to take them. and if europe doesn't take them, i'll have no choice but to release them into the countries from which they came in which is germany and france and other places. because we beat them. we captured them. we've got thousands of them and now as usual our allies say oh no, we don't want them. even though they came from france and germany and other places. so we're going to tell them and we've already told them, take these prisoners that we've captured. because the united states is likely to put them in guantánamo for the next 50 years and pay for it. >> what is your deadline? [inaudible]

>> i did. i went to the hospitals. i will tell you this. i went to the hospitals. it was totally false reported. there were beautiful, beautiful, very sad, you know, horrible moments but they were beautiful moments in the sense that these people, the families and also the people that were so badly injured that i was with, they love our country. and, frankly, you want to know the truth? they love the president. and nobody wrote that. nobody wrote that because you didn't write the truth. "new york times" doesn't like to write the truth. but, but they love, they totally love our country. they do love our president. so when i went to dayton and when i went to el paso and i went into this hospitals, the love for me, and be made as a registered of the country, but for me and my love for them was unparalleled. these are incredible people. but if you read the papers, it was like nobody would meet with

me. not only did they meet with me, they were pouring out of the rooms the doctors were coming out of the operating rooms. there were hundreds and hunch the people all over the floor. you couldn't even walk on it. a lot to happen. the people in dayton. let me just explain. people in dayton, people of el paso, these are incredible people and those victims and survivors and their families, i love those people. [inaudible] [inaudible] >> i looked at indexing for a time. it's not something i love. i think it's probably better for the high income people, and i'm not looking to do that. i want to do, i want to do for the workers become looking to do for middle income people. i think indexing, i would have to get a letter on the attorney general or from the justice

department, which i think i might be able to get get otheri would have to go through congress, but i'm not looking at indexing and i haven't been serious looking at it. but certainly it is an option if one or two. we had such a strong economy, if the fed did what they were supposed to do, they would drop interest rates by 100 basis points. and maybe we do not only not tightening but they would do some loosening or leave it alone. do nothing here but they dropped interest rates by 100 basis point or more, nobody, nobody would be able to compete with the united states. right now the fed is time our hands because we are paying interest rates to germany and other countries that are not like us, are not think they should be done away around in a sense. but why should they be paying no interest rates and even have an incentive be on that and with an interest rates? that that has missed the call for a long time.

[inaudible] >> i think we have a very strong economy. i think the fed has been very late and very early. they were very early to raise and they are very, very late to cut. but the fed can do the whole thing. yesterday we had the strongest dollar in history of our country. yesterday we had the strongest dollar in the history of our country. there's one way i'm honored by that in another way -- [inaudible] so in two ways, one, i love it but in another what i don't like it because much harder to compete. we had literally the strongest dollar in the history of our country. [inaudible] >> go ahead. [inaudible]

>> we're looking at that very seriously. where you have a baby and a lan, walk over the border to have a baby, congratulation, the baby is not a u.s. citizen. we're looking at it very, very seriously. i don't know how you found that out. we are looking at birthright citizenship very seriously. it's frankly ridiculous. [inaudible] >> migrant miners -- [inaudible] >> i am the one who kept the families together. okay? you remember that. just remember i said it. now they get even better. president obama, and others, brought the femmes apart but i'm the one who kept the families together. with what we are doing now, we will have even more of that but it will make it almost impossible for people who come into our country illegally.

plus we're building large section of the wall. i won a lawsuit two weeks ago in the supreme court. we're building large sections of wall and lots of other things are happening. [inaudible] [shouting] >> i do.
