has provisions? >> chris: then, the nationwide protests against racism and police forces along with a dramatic increase in. >> there's been a spike in violent crime in recent weeks, how do you explain it or what he going going to do about it? >> chris: and we tell the president about new fox poll's from the state of the 2020 race. >> you talked about how your winning and things are going well, why did europ you replace brad parscale? >> and mary trump's tell-all book. >> didn't have a lot of respect or like for her. i would have never said that except she writes a book that is so stupid and vicious and it's a lie. >> chris: in our one-on-one exclusive with donald trump. all right now on "fox news sunday." ♪ and hello again from fox news in washington, today from the white house, we are o on the pao

just outside the oval office. president trump, you've agreed to answer all manner of questions, no subject off-limits, thank you. welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> president trump: thank you very much. >> chris: let's start with a surge of the coronavirus across the country in recent months. you still talk about it as "burning embers" but i want to put up a chart that shows where we are with the illness over the last four months. as you can see, we hit a peak here in april, 36,000 cases. a day. if >> president trump: cases. case is buried >> chris: then it went down and now since june it has gone up, more than double. one day this week, 75,000 new cases, more than double -- >> president trump: because we have great testing, if we didn't test, you wouldn't be able to show that chart. if we tested half as much, those numbers would be down. >> chris: this isn't burning embers, this is a forest fire. >> president trump: claims, will put out the flames and we will put out in some cases just

burning embers. we also have burning embers. we have for embers and we do have flames. florida became more flame-like but it's going to be under control and you know it's not just this country, its many countries. we don't talk about it in the news. they don't talk about mexico and brazil and still parts of europe, which actually got hit sooner than us, so it's a little ahead of us in that sense, but you take a look, why don't they talk about mexico? which is not helping us. and all i can say is thank god i built most of the wall because if i didn't have a wall up we would have a much bigger problem with mexico. >> chris: but sir, we have the seventh highest mortality rate in the world. our mortality rate is higher than brazil. it's higher than russia and the european union has us on travel ban. >> president trump: i think we will do -- i closed them off. if you remember, i was the one that of the european union very early but when you talk about mortality rates, i think is the opposite. if i think we have one of the lowest mortality rates.

>> chris: we had 900 deaths in a single day. this week -- >> president trump: will you please get with the mortality rate? i heard we have one of the lowest, may be the lowest mortality rate anywhere in the world. to have the numbers please? because i heard we have the best mortality rate. >> [inaudible] >> president trump: number one low mortality rate. i hope you show this because it shows what fake news is all about. >> chris: i don't think i'm fake news. >> president trump: yeah you are. you said we have the worst mortality rate the world when we have the best buried >> chris: all right, it's a little complicated, but bear with us. we want with numbers from johns hopkins university, which chart of the mortality rate for 20 countries hit by the virus. the u.s. ranked seventh, better than the united kingdom, but worse than brazil and russia. the white house went with this chart from the european cdc, which shows italy and spain doing worse, but countries like

brazil and south korea doing better. other countries doing better, like russia, aren't included in the white house chart. >> chris: california, locking down again, florida, deadliest day of the entire pandemic. hospitals at capacity, a number of places around the country. shortages of testing, shortages of personal protective equipment for nurses and doctors. a lot of people say this is because we don't have a national plan. you talk about steaks, we don't have a national plan. do take responsibility? >> president trump: i take responsibility always buy everything because it's ultimately my job. i have to get everybody in line. some governors have done well, summed, some governors have gone poorly. they're supposed to have supplies. i supplied everybody. now we have somewhat of a surge in certain areas, others are doing great but we have a surge in certain areas but you don't hear people complain about ventilators. with got all the ventilators we can use, we are supplying into other countries. we go out into parking lots in every think i'm everybody gets a

test. if we find if we did have the testing, with all of that being said, i'm glad we did it. this is the right way to do it. i'm glad we did what we are doing, but we more tests by far than any country in the world. >> chris: but sir, testing is up 37% buried >> president trump: that's good. >> chris: i understand. cases are up 104% buried it isn't just the testing that's gone up, it's that the virus has spread, the positivity rate has increased. the virus is worse than it was buried >> president trump: many of those cases are young people that would heal in a day. they have the sniffles and we put it down as a test. many of them. don't forget, i guess it's like 99.7%. if people are going to get better and in many cases they're going to get better very quickly. we go out and we look and then on the news -- look, if you go back to the news, even your wonderful competitors, you'll see cases are up. cases are up, many of those cases shouldn't even be cases.

cases are up because we have the best testing in the world and we have the most testing. no country has ever done what we've done in terms of testing. we are the envy of the world, they call and they say the most incredible job and he buddies done is our job on testing. because we are going to very shortly be up to 50 million tests. you look at other countries, they don't even do tests. if they do tests of somebody walking to hospital, they are sick, they are really sick, they test them then they will test them in a doctor's office but they don't go around and have massive areas of testing, and we do. and i'm glad we do, but it really skews the numbers. >> chris: i'm going to do your favor because i'm sure a lot of people listening right now are going to say trump, he tries to play it down -- >> president trump: i'm not -- know this is being serious. >> chris: 75,000 cases of day. >> president trump: show me the depth chart. >> chris: i don't have -- i can tell you the depth chart is 1,000 cases a day. >> president trump: excuse me, it's all too much, it shouldn't be one case.

it came from china, they should have never let it escape, they should have never let it out but that is what it is. take a look at europe, take a look at the numbers in europe. >> chris: 6,000 in the whole european union. >> president trump: they don't test. they don't test buried >> chris: is it possible that they don't have a virus is badly? >> president trump: it's possible that they don't test. that's was possible. we find cases in many of those cases heal automatically. in a way we are creating trouble. certainly we are creating trouble for the fake news to come along and say we have more cases. we did something that nobody's ever done, not only the ventilators where we are supplying them all over the world. we did a testing program the likes of which nobody's ever done before. >> chris: the head of the cdc, dr. redfield, said this on tuesday. >> i do think the fall and the winters of 2020 and 2021 are going to be probably one of the most difficult times that we've experienced in american public health. >> chris: do you agree with dr. redfield? >> president trump: i don't know when i don't think he

knows. this is a very tricky deal. everybody thought the summer it would go away and we would come back in the fall. well, in the summer it came. if these to say the heat was good for and it really knocks it out, remember? and the net might come back in the fall, so they got that one wrong. they got a lot wrong. they got a lot wrong, the world health got a truman to cimarron, they basically did whatever china wanted them to and we will say now almost $500 million a year, which is nice, but the world health got a lot wrong. >> chris: this is one of the sharpest criticisms of you. >> president trump: i agree. >> chris: people say that you talk about the world as you'd like to see it rather than follow the science. let me just ask the question, sir. why on earth would your administration be involved in a campaign at this point to discredit dr. fauci, who is the nation's top infectious disease expert? >> president trump: because we are not. if one man from my administration doesn't like him because he made a few mistakes -- look, dr. fauci said

don't wear a mask. dr. fauci told me not to ban china, would be a big mistake. i did it over and above his recommendation. dr. fauci then said you saved tens of thousands of lives, more than that. he said you saved tens of thousands of lives. dr. fauci has made some mistakes but i have a very good -- i spoke to him yesterday at length. i have a very good relationship with dr. fauci. >> chris: but sir, this weekend, your white house put out a series of statements, so-called mistakes, at that dr. fauci has made. one of your closest aides, one of your right-hand man, put out this -- have you seen this? dr. fossett -- it shows him as a leaker and an alarmist. >> president trump: he's a little bit of an alarmist, that's okay. >> chris: a little bit of an alarmist. let me just say, dr. fauci at the beginning -- and again, i have a great relationship with him. i spoke to him at length yesterday. dr. fauci at the beginning said

this will pass, don't worry about it, this will pass, he was wrong. dr. fauci said don't ban china, i did, he then admitted that i was right. >> chris: but you made mistakes too. >> president trump: i guess everybody makes mistakes. >> chris: you said at one point. >> one person coming in from china and we have it under control. it's going to be just fine. >> president trump: when you have 15 people in the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job with don. >> president trump: i think we are going to be very good with the coronavirus. i think that at some point that's going to sort of just disappear. >> president trump: i'll be right eventually. i said it's going to disappear, i will say it again buried and i'll be right. i don't think so. you know why it doesn't? because i've been right probably more than anybody else. >> chris: then there are masks. in the first day that the cdc said people should wear masks on april 3rd, you said you weren't going to. he wore a mask for the first time in public at walter reed

this weekend. question, the cdc says if everybody wore a mask for 4-6 weeks, we could get this under control. do you regret not wearing a mask in public from the start? and would you consider -- will you consider a national mandate that people need to wear masks? >> president trump: i want people to have a certain freedom and i don't believe in that. no. and i don't agree with the statement that if everybody wore a mask everything disappears. dr. fauci said don't wear a mask. our surgeon general come terrific guy, so don't wear a mask. everybody was saying don't wear a mask, all of a sudden everybody's got to wear a mask and as you know masks cause problems too. i'm a believer in masks. i think they're good. i leave it up to the governors. many of the governors are changing. they are more mask into, they like the concept of masks but some of them don't agree. i do say this, schools have to open, young people have to go to school and there's problems when you don't go to school too and

there's going to be a funding problem because we're not going to fund -- when they don't openn the schools where not going to fund them, we're not going to give them money if they're not going to school. >> chris: first of all, with the federal government gives is only 8%. >> president trump: 10%, and you know what, that's a lot of money. >> chris: you know where the money goes? it goes overwhelmingly to disadvantaged kids and children's with disabilities. why not you just send more money so the schools will be safer? >> president trump: let the schools -- to ever see the statistics on young people below the age of 18? the state of new jersey had thousands of deaths. of all of these thousands, one person below the age of 18 and the entire state. if one person, that was a person that had -- i believe he said diabetes. one person below the age of 18 died in the state of new jersey during all of this. they had a hard time and they're doing very well now. so that's it. >> chris: the stimulus bill is

running out the end of this month. the republicans say they want liability limits, which the democrats don't like. you say that you want a payroll tax cut, which even some republicans are cool too. >> president trump: a lot of republicans like it though. >> chris: will you only signed a bill that has those two provisions? >> president trump: we are going to see but we do need protections because businesses are going to get sued just because some of the walk -- you don't know where this virus comes from. they'll sit down at a restaurant, they'll sue the restaurant, the guys out of business, so we do need some kind of immunity. you do need it, just like you need immunity for the police, whether they like it or not, you need immunity for the police but they do need a form of immunity. you don't know if they caught it and no one's ever going to be able to prove it one way or another. the people at -- look, the democrats don't want to do that because they are total -- they're totally captured by the lobby of lawyers. if the lawyer's lobby is probably the most powerful in the country. >> chris: what about the payroll tax cut? >> president trump: i want to see it. >> chris: is it in the bill?

>> president trump: i'll have to see but i would consider not signing it if we don't have a payroll tax cut, yes. >> chris: up next, president trump on the spike in violent crime in america. >> and democrat-run cities, they are liberally run, stupidly run. >> chris: liberal democrats have been running cities in this country for decades, poorly. why is it so bad right now? and where he stands on a big difference bill that provides for renaming military bases named for confederate generals. this is a bill that funds military operations, it gives a pay raise. you're going to veto that? more of our exclusive interview with the president when we come back. ♪ ♪ come on in, we're open. ♪ all we do is hand you the bag. simple. done. ♪ this smells so good. ♪

saying the democrat-run cities, they are liberally-run, they are stupid run. we have forced them in seattle to end the chop. if we were going in there following day you probably heard it. we were all set and when they heard that we were going, they sent their police force. >> chris: liberal democrats have been running cities in this country for decades. >> president trump: poorly. >> chris: why is it so bad right now? >> president trump: they run them poorly. it was always bad, but now it's gotten totally out of control and it's really because they want to defund the police and biden wants to defund the police. >> chris: sir, he does not. >> president trump: looked, he signed a charter with bernie sanders, i will get that one, just like i was right on the mortality rate, did you read the charter? be when he said nothing about the funding -- >> president trump: oh, really? it is abolished. it lets go. if you get me the charter, please. if you've got to start studying for these. >> chris: he says defund the police? >> president trump: he says defund the police.

>> chris: i look forward to seeing that. meanwhile, the george floyd murder has reignited the issue of racism in policing in this country. i want to give u.s. a couple of statistics. nationwide, blacks are twice as likely -- not absolute numbers but in terms of per capita blacks are twice as likely to be shot and killed by police as whites are buried in minneapolis over the last five years, police used force against blacks at a rate seven times that against whites. sinew understand why blacks would be angry about that? >> president trump: yes i do. of course i do. many whites are killed also. many, many whites are killed. but this is going on for decades. this is going on for a long time, long before i got here. if you look at what's going on in portland, those are anarchists and we've taken a very tough stance. if we didn't take a stand in portland -- you know, we arrested many of these leaders. if we didn't take that stand, right now you would have a problem -- they were going to

lose portland, so let's see what this says here. prosecution, sanctuary cities. incentivize illegal aliens. expand asylum. abolished immigration detention. we will find it buried this thing is many pages long. and prosecution of illegal border crosses. support deathly -- these are the worst -- >> chris: sir, i'm not disagreeing with you in any of those, i'm disagreeing about defund the police -- >> chris: the white has never sent us evidence that bernie biden platform calls for defunding, abolishing bliss, because there is none. it calls for increased funding for police departments that meet certain standards. biden has called for redirecting some police funding for related programs like mental health counseling. >> chris: this week you said that black lives matter and confederate flag are both matters -- issues of freedom of speech. but in the case of the confederate flag, there are a lot of people who say these were

traders who split from this country, fought this country in large part to preserve slavery. is the confederate flag offensive to >> president trump: it depends on who you're talking about, when you're talking about. when people probably had the confederate flag they're not talking about racism. they love their flag, it represents the south. they like the south, people right now like the south. i say it's freedom of many things but its freedom of speech. >> chris: but you're not offended by it? >> president trump: i'm not offended either by black lives matter, that's freedom of speech. the whole thing with canceled culture, we can't cancel our whole history. we can't forget that the north and the south fought. we have to remember that, otherwise we will end up fighting again. you can't just cancel -- >> chris: but let me ask you this money gets to be more than just cancel -- maybe this is canceled culture. the national defense authorization act, you have threatened to veto it because in

the bill -- and this is supported by republicans as well as democrats -- it would rename army bases named for confederate generals. this is a bill that funds military operations. it gives soldiers a pay raise. you're going to veto that? >> president trump: they'll still get their playwrights. it don't tell me this. i got soldiers the biggest pay raises in the history of our -- >> chris: understood. >> president trump: of our military. brand-new jets, brand-new rockets, 2.5 trillion, i did more for the military than any president that's ever had this office. >> chris: but you're going to bveto this? >> president trump: they've been named that way for a long time. decades and decades. >> chris: but the military says therefore this buried >> president trump: i don't care what the military says. i'm supposed to make the decision. fort bragg is a big deal. we won two world wars, nobody even knows the general. we won two world wars. go to the community where fort bragg is in a great state, i love that state.

go to the community, say how do you like the idea of renaming fort bragg? and then what are we going to name it? going to name it after the reverend al sharpton? what are you going to name it, chris. tell me what you're going to name it buried so there's a whole thing here. we won two world wars, two world wars, beautiful world wars that were vicious and horrible and we won them out of fort bragg, we won them out of all of these ports and now they want to throw those names away and no, i'm against that and you know what, most other people are and i -- i don't believe in polls, because i see the fake estoppels i've ever seen, but that pole is a 64% thing, which actually surprised me. we won world wars out of these military bases. i'm not going to go changing them. >> chris: so you will veto? >> president trump: i might. yeah, i might buried >> chris: on mount rushmore on july 30 so that we face a far left fascism in this country and then you said this.

>> our children are taught in school to hate their own country and we believe that the men and women who built it were not heroes, but that were villains. >> chris: you said the children i taught in school to hate our country. where do you see that? >> president trump: i look at school, i watch, i read. look at the stuff. now they want to change -- 1492, columbus discovered america. we grew up, you grow up, that's what we all end. now they want to make it the 6019 project. what does it represent? i don't even know buried they don't even know. they just want to make a change. canceled culture, i hate the term actually. look at the professors, look at what's going on in the colleges and look, we have as many as them -- excuse me -- i think to the best of my knowledge, we are sitting at the white house and the oval office is right behind

me. we have as many as them. >> chris: who is them? >> president trump: the liberal radical left and i'm not talking all. i think liberal -- i could tell you i like a lot of liberal people. i like a lot of liberal governors and senators, but chris, we have a radical left destructive ideology and its being taught in our schools. and don't act like you're surprised to hear this. there were books written about it. and we can't let that go off. we can't let them change the true meaning of what we are all about. and that's what they're trying to do and i don't wanted to happen. not on my watch. it's not going to happen on my watch buried >> chris: coming up, president trump on where the race for the white house stands now. you'll be happy to know that fox news has a new poll out today and you're going to be the very first person to hear about it. >> chris: we will discuss that in his opponent joe biden when we return with more from the white house. ♪

doing what they're doing except for november 3rd. >> chris: with the states shutting back the reopening, in a lot of cases new lockdowns, won't the economy still be a problem for you on election day? >> president trump: i don't think so. i think the economy is expanding and growing beautifully. the democrats want to keep it closed as long as possible because they think that's good for election. but i think the economy is doing very well. now we are coming back and were coming back at a level that nobody would have thought possible. and by the way, take a look at another -- i mean, whether you like it or not, the stock market. the stock market, nasdaq hit its all-time high two weeks ago and has beaten at 14 different times. the stock market et cetera is a thousand points away from its all-time high, meaning very close. we are going to have a stock market perhaps on november 3rd that's the highest in history. >> chris: i want to talk to you about obamacare. since the pandemic it, millions

of people have lost their job and thereby lost their health insurance and almost a half a million have signed up for obamacare. your administration just announced that your signing onto a lawsuit to overturn obamacare. >> president trump: and replace it. >> chris: why does it make sense to overturn obamacare with which people now are relying on -- democrats are going to say the man who's wanted to kill obamacare is going to take away the protection for pre-existing conditions. >> president trump: would govern of the individual mandate. pre-existing conditions will always be taken care of by me and republicans, 100%. >> chris: you been in office three and a half years and you don't have a plan. >> president trump: excuse me, you heard me yesterday. we are signing a health care plan within two weeks. a full and complete health care plan. the supreme court decision on daca gave me the right to do. where going to solve -- we are going to sign an immigration plan, health care plan, and various other plans and nobody will have done what i'm doing in

the next four weeks. the supreme court gave the president of the united states powers that nobody thought the president had buried him by approving -- by doing what they did, the decision on daca and daca is going to be taking care of also. but we are getting rid of it because we are going to replace it with something much better but we got rid of already, which was most of obamacare, the individual mandate and that i've already won on and we won also on the supreme court, but the decision by the supreme court on daca allows me to do things on immigration, on health care, on other things, that we've never done before and you find it to be very exciting two weeks. >> chris: up next, we ask the president about r the accusatios niece's book. it doesn't hurt at all to be attacked in such personal terms by member of your own family? and why he's confident he'll end up back in the white house for four more years. >> president trump: let biden sit through an interview like this, he'll be on the ground crying for mommy. he'll say mommy, mommy, please

take me home. >> chris: more from the president when we come right back. ♪ it's easy to get lost in the economic uncertainty.

do anything to get attention, financial rewards, and to win. >> chris: do you see any truth in that? >> president trump: my father liked to win. he was a very good man, he was a strong man. it's disgraceful that you said that, she was not exactly a family favorite, we didn't have a lot of respect or like for her. i would have never said that except she writes a book that so stupid and so vicious and it's a lie. my father was a great, wonderful man. >> chris: let me just ask this question. >> president trump: this is not a person that i spend very much time with. very little time and now i'm glad. >> chris: you've developed pretty thick skin over the years from decades of attacks in new york tabloids. now from the press here under political opponents here in washington. but even for donald trump, does it hurt you at all to be attacked in such personal terms by a member of your own family?

>> president trump: it hurts me more about attacking my father, not being kind to my mother. i have a mother who was like a saint. she was incredible, she was an incredible woman and she was nasty even to my mother. she's a very scarred person. she was not much of a family person, but let me just say, my father was -- i think he was the most solid person i've ever met and he was a very good person. he was a very, very good person. he was strong, but he was good. for her to say the side of things -- a psychopath, that he was a psychopath. anybody that knew fred trump will call them a psychopath. and if he was, i would tell you what i would say, you know, chris, i was with my father and it was impossible -- my father, he was tough, he was tough on me, tough on all of the kids but tough in a solid sense. in a really good sense. for her to say -- i think the word she used was psychopath. what a disgrace, and she ought to be ashamed of herself.

that book is alive. >> chris: some people were surprised when you agreed to this interview, to sit down with me. >> president trump: what are you going to ask? >> chris: especially because of the mean tweets that you said about me. mike wallace want to become a nasty look actress. i will tell you after that one, my son peter, whom you've met, called and said nasty, no, obnoxious, maybe. one of your beliefs seems to be that i put democrats on the show and ask them questions and i guess the question i have is don't you understand it's my job to put democrats on as well as republicans i to ask them probing questions, just like i asked republicans? >> chris: i'm not a big fan of fox, i'll be honest with you, they've changed a lot since roger ailes. and i watch people like eric swalwell, who i don't even know, got less than 1%, all of a sudden he's being interviewed -- >> chris: but i interviewed nancy pelosi -- i interviewed -- you said one tweet after interviewed nancy pelosi.

and in the interview i asked her specifically about the fact in february you were in chinatown pitching tourism while the virus was spreading. >> chris: of the president underplayed the threat in the early days, speaker pelosi, didn't you was well? >> chris: isn't that legitimate to talk to the speaker of the house? >> president trump: i know you're very welcome i respect you a lot, i respect your father alive. one of the most talented journalists there are in you, likewise are very talented person. i do think this, i think you are a very -- i think you are towards the democrat side, which is okay. >> chris: watch the james comey interview i did in december. >> chris: 17 significant errors in the pfizer process and you say it was handled in a thoughtful and appropriate way. >> he's right, i was wrong. >> chris: you make it sound like you're a bystander, an eyewitness. you were a director of the fbi while a lot of this was going on.

>> that's why i'm telling you i was wrong, i was overconfident as director in our procedures. >> chris: you couldn't do a stuff in interview with comey. i like to think i treat everybody the same. >> president trump: it just seems to me that you're very prone to be nice to the democrats and maybe i'm wrong about that, chris, but it's an honor to be with you. it's fine, i love it. it's close to 100 -- >> chris: your choice again. i'm not saying you're going to lose. i'm not saying that, we saw you turned it around last time. >> president trump: i don't think i'm going to lose at all. >> chris: but if you did, how crushing would it be? >> president trump: let me just say something -- i know everybody would love to see that. you know how many times have been written off? do not have any times up and written off? >> chris: i'm done some of it myself. i'm not doing it this time. but how crushing would it be? >> president trump: you know i won't lose? because the country in the end, they're not going to have a man

who was shot -- he shot. he's mentally shot. let him come out of his basement, go around, i will make four or five speeches a day, i will be interviewed by you, i will be interviewed by the worst killers that hate my guts. they hate my guts. there's nothing they can ask me that it won't give them a proper answer to. some people will like it, some people won't like it. >> chris: i agree with that, you answer the questions. he'll be on the ground crying for mommy. >> chris: we've asking for an interview. >> president trump: he can't do an interview, he's incompetent. the enthusiasm for trump is through the roof. >> chris: i have mentioned it. >> president trump: even higher than last time. the enthusiasm for biden is nonexistent. everybody knows he's shot. >> chris: but the enthusiasm against you is high. >> president trump: that's his only shot, i agree. those people know i'm doing a good job. there something in my personality that they don't li like. nobody's done what i've done. biden wants to come in and ruin our country. triple your taxes. he wants to do things -- he wants to add regulations that i

have cut. we still have regulation, a lot of regulation, but i've cut it down to a level that nobody ever thought possible. he will destroy this country. but it won't be him. it will be the radical left. the same type ideology that took over venezuela, one of the richest countries in the world. they now have no water, no food, and they have no medicine. that's going to happen here if he wins. >> chris: took a final questions. in general, not talking about november, are you a good loser? >> president trump: i'm not a good loser. i don't like to lose. i don't lose too often. >> chris: but are you gracious? >> president trump: you don't know until you see, it depends. i think mail-in voting is going to rake the election, i really do. >> chris: are you suggesting that you might not accept the results of the election? >> president trump: i have to see. hillary clinton asked me the same thing. >> chris: i asked her the same thing in the debate. >> there is a tradition in this country, one of the prizes of this country is the peaceful transition of power and that no matter how hard fought a

campaign is, that the end of the campaign that the loser concedes to the winner -- not saying that you're necessarily going to be the loser or the winter, but that the loser conceives to the winner and at the country comes together in part for the good of the country. are you saying you're not prepared not to commit to that prince of >> i will tell you at the time, i will keep you in suspense. >> president trump: and you know what, she's the one that never accepted -- he never accepted her loss? domain. >> chris: can you give a direct answer that you will accept the election? >> president trump: i have to see paired i'm not going to just say yes and i didn't last time either. >> chris: whether it's 2021 or 2025, how will you regard your years as president of the united states? >> president trump: i think i was very unfairly treated. from before i even won i was under investigation by a bunch of thieves, crooks. it was an illegal investigation. >> chris: what about the good parts there? >> president trump: i have done more than any president in history in the first three and a

half years and i've done it suffering through investigations or people -- general flynn, where people have been so unfairly treated. the russia hoax, it was all a hoax. the mueller scam, it was all a scam. it was all false. i made one bad decision. jeff sessions. now i feel good, because he lost overwhelmingly in the great state of alabama. here's the bottom line, i've been fairly or unfairly treated and i don't say that is paranoid. everybody says it. it's going to be interesting to see what happens, but there's tremendous evidence right now as to how unfairly treated i was. president obama and biden spied on my campaign. it's never happened in history. if it were the other way around, the people would be in jail for 50 years right now. that would be comey, that would be brennan, that would be all of this -- the two lovers, peter strzok and lisa page. they would be in jail now for many, many years. they would be in jail. it would have started two years

ago and they'd be there for 50 years. the fact is they illegally spied on my campaign. let's see what happens. despite that, i did more than any president in history in the first three and a half years. >> chris: mr. president, thank you, thanks for talking with us. >> president trump: thank you very much. >> chris: up next, remembering an american hero. in new ways. to new customers. what if you could come back stronger? faster. better. at comcast business, we want to help you not just bounce back. but bounce forward. that's why we're helping you stay ahead and adapt with a network you can count on, 24/7 support and flexible solutions that work wherever you are. call or go online today. amazing school district. the hoa has been very involved. these shrubs aren't board approved.
