It's me, Nick Fuentes, back here with you on Rumble.
Good morning, everybody.
Happy Thursday.
Check in and live chat.
Let me know what's up.
Let me know if you're here.
Say hey.
We got a great stream planned this morning.
It's gonna be a little shorter, but it's gonna be a fun stream.
We're gonna go over the DeSantis-Haley debate from last night.
But quickly, I just want to check in with everybody.
unidentified
What's going on?
nick fuentes
We got ForbiddenHerald, Jason Jones, BaldGroiper, uh-oh, KappaMikey, We got RiceKing, Galebra, SouthCarolinaZoomer, PilotZoomer, ProudZoomer, AngloZoomer, we love AngloZoomer, ArthurFriend, is that Ahmad holding it down?

How's it going everybody?
How's your morning?
How's your morning going?
Everybody having a good time?
unidentified
Good morning!
nick fuentes
And we got a million other people in there.
What's up?
But we're gonna be having a fun stream today.
We're gonna be watching the DeSantis vs Haley debate from last night.
I didn't even know there was one.
Did you guys know?
Because I honestly had no idea.
And I have been scouring the internet for news for like the past two weeks, and I had no idea there was a debate last night.
I thought it was over, because the RNC stopped hosting them.
After the fourth one, the last one in December, the RNC said they're not hosting them anymore, but I guess the network went ahead with the scheduled debate.
So CNN went ahead with the debate, but the RNC didn't do it.
But I had no idea!
I had no idea they were even doing one.
And so I totally missed it.
And I was, of course, I was late to my show.
I was like 100 hours late.
But I didn't even know they were doing a debate.
I guess it was 8 o'clock last night.
But we'll be watching it this morning, really just for fun.
And, you know, we'll get into it a little bit.
The Iowa caucus is this Monday.
So that is really when the rubber meets the road and we are on our way to the 2024 election.
So Monday I'll be covering the Iowa caucus at 7 o'clock central time.
So tune in Monday 7 o'clock central.
I'll probably be on even earlier.
And we'll be watching the entire Iowa caucus, the whole thing.
We'll be talking about it all night, maybe bring on some guests.
And it's gonna be a lot of fun, and of course that's the first election, the first contest that will be held in this cycle.
And it'll be very interesting to see how everybody performs, because this'll be a good barometer for how Trump is going to do, and specifically it's going to be make or break for DeSantis.
DeSantis has put all his eggs in one basket.
He's really running with this Iowa strategy for reasons.
But he's toured all 99 counties of the state.
As far as I know, that's the only state where he has a ground game.
That's where he spent a lot of his money.
He's been touring the whole place for months now because he really knows that for him to be viable, he's got to have a good performance in Iowa.
He's not going to have as strong of a performance in New Hampshire, which is next, or Nevada, or South Carolina.
Those are the first four states in the primary, and then you got Idaho and Michigan, and then you got Super Tuesday.
And at the end of Super Tuesday, like half of the delegates have been allocated.
So out of the early states in January and February, which is Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina, DeSantis is really only supposed to perform well in Iowa.
Because New Hampshire is not very conservative, Nevada's Trump country, and South Carolina is Nikki Haley's home state.
So, out of the first four, in the first two months, the only state that he can really compete with Trump in, theoretically, is Iowa, because it's much more conservative, it's much more Christian and evangelical.
And so the idea is that if he can reach a liftoff capacity in Iowa, Then that'll help his performance in the rest of the early states and more specifically for Super Tuesday.
That was the DeSantis strategy, but it hasn't been working because he has failed to break out in Iowa.
If you look at any of the polls, he's at like 12% and he's tied with Nikki Haley.
And he spent like 70 million dollars in the state.
So... And I think in the whole race, but... So he has not been...
Performing in the polls, so that's why Monday.
That's really looking for we're looking to see how well the Santas Performs because if he does well He's viable if he does poorly he's out like he's done He will probably drop out of the race in shame if he doesn't if he if he really does poorly in Iowa So we're watching for that.
We're watching for Trump's performance even a little bit with Haley see how you know if she's gonna be viable and And then maybe we'll see if Vivek does better than expected.
But that's what we're looking for.
This was the last debate before Iowa, and it was just DeSantis and Haley.
No Vivek.
They kicked him out.
He did too well in the last one, so they kicked him out.
So, that's what we're looking for.
But let's get into it!
We'll start watching the debate.
Like I said, I don't have a ton of time, so I'll probably finish this and then wrap it up.
And also, last thing, I will be debating Gavin McInnes and this Kabbalistic Jew tonight at 9 o'clock Central Time.
So instead of doing my show tonight, it's going to be a huge debate.
It'll be on Elijah Schaeffer's Rumble channel.
It's me and Vince James versus Gavin McInnes and this Kabbalistic Infowars Jew.
And that's tonight, nine o'clock central.
It's gonna be good!
This is gonna be exciting!
Sparks are gonna fly, it's gonna be hype, and it's gonna be a lot of fun.
And man, I mean, these are sick people.
These Kabbalist Jews, they're sick people.
They hate our religion.
They hate Jesus, they hate Catholics, and so I really can't wait.
I've been watching all morning, the Kabbalist did an interview with Adam Green, the pagan atheist, and I was watching this debate and man, you would not believe the things he was saying.
But it really shows that in the world you've got the Antichrist and you've got Christ.
And the Antichrist is a devil and it's the Jews.
And the Christ is God and the Catholics.
unidentified
And these are really the forces of history.
nick fuentes
These are really the forces that are driving history is Catholics and Jews battling it out for the soul of humanity.
And you know it because when you listen to these mystical Jews, they just hate Catholics.
They don't really care about Protestants.
It's Catholics they hate.
They hate Rome.
So don't even listen to me.
A lot of people say, oh, the Vatican sucks.
Oh, Catholics suck.
Hey, don't even take it from me.
Take it from the Jews.
The Jews hate the Catholics.
So, anyway, but we'll get into all that tonight and more.
And basically, if you're not a Catholic, you're just kind of with them.
So, anyway, but let's get into this.
This is the fifth Republican debate.
We're going to dive in.
unidentified
Oh, we're going to follow you.
We're going to follow you.
jake tapper
Live from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, this is the CNN Republican presidential debate.
We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world watching us on CNN, CNN Max, CNN International, CNN en Español, and CNN.com.
Good evening, I'm Jay Tapper, moderating tonight's debate alongside my friend and colleague, Dana Bash.
dana bash
And just five days from now, voters here in Iowa will cast the first votes of the 2024 presidential race.
Tonight, the very first one-on-one matchup between top contenders Governor Ron DeSantis and former Governor and U.N.
Ambassador Nikki Haley.
Former President Trump met the requirements for tonight's debate, but declined to participate.
jake tapper
Our commitment in this debate is to provide as much information as possible to voters, especially here in Iowa, before the first contests begin next week.
unidentified
So in choosing topics, we focused on the issues important... Just so you know, Jake Tapper is Jewish.
nick fuentes
Is Dana Bash Jewish?
We just need to get used to just, like, saying that before we do stuff.
I just want to double check.
Oh, so they're both Jewish.
Just so everybody knows, when we watch this debate, this is Jake Tapper, this is Dana Bash, they're both Jewish.
Just in case, you know, just in case you were curious.
Tapper attended Philadelphia School, a progressive independent school.
He enrolled at Akiba Hebrew Academy, an independent Jewish day school.
In Marion, Pennsylvania, attended Dartmouth.
Just so everybody is aware, okay?
Tapper served as Press Secretary for Democrat Congressional Candidate Marjorie Mezvinsky.
Is she Jewish?
I bet she is.
Yeah, she looks Jewish and that's a Jewish last name.
Yep, this is her dad, son of Jewish grocery store owner Abe Mazvinsky, born in Russia, mother in Poland.
unidentified
And...
nick fuentes
He impeached Nixon, and his daughter gave Jake Tapper his first job, and Chelsea Clinton is her daughter-in-law.
Okay, so it's just a big Jewish network.
So Jake Tapper went to a Jewish school, was a press secretary for a Jewish candidate whose daughter-in-law is Chelsea Clinton, He also worked for a PR firm, Powell Tate, run by Jody Powell and Sheila Tate.
Are they Jewish?
I don't think Powell's a particularly Jewish name, but I don't know.
You gotta tell me.
What about Tate?
That doesn't sound like a Jewish name either, but who knows?
Anyway, well, let's not get carried away.
How about Dana Bash?
Attended Paschak Hills High School in New Jersey.
unidentified
Just want to point that out.
nick fuentes
Just want to point it out because it's important.
She joins CNN's producer programs like Evans and Novak, Inside Politics... Okay.
Alright, alright.
Whatever, whatever.
Let's not get carried away.
But so just so you know, they're both Jewish.
jake tapper
Republicans, let's bring out the candidates now.
Now, please welcome Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
unidentified
Please welcome former South Carolina Governor and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.
I thought they would stop applauding, but it's just because she wasn't on the stage.
dana bash
Candidates, please take your positions behind the podiums while we remind you and our audience of the ground rules.
Each of you will have 90 seconds to answer questions, 60 seconds for responses and rebuttals, and 15 seconds for clarifications.
Timing lights will remind you when time is expiring.
jake tapper
We also remind our audience here in the Sheslow Auditorium at Drake University to be respectful so the candidates can hear the questions and can hear each other.
dana bash
Just hours ago, the Republican field narrowed once again.
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie ended his bid for the presidency.
So, with one fewer candidate in the running, let's start with the decision voters here in Iowa are about to face.
Governor DeSantis, why should voters who are looking for an alternative to the current frontrunner, former President Trump, vote for you rather than former Governor Haley?
ron desantis
Well, to the people of Iowa, good evening.
It's great to be in Iowa to have a debate here.
Donald Trump's running to pursue his issues.
Nikki Haley's running to pursue her donors' issues.
I'm running to pursue your issues and your family's issues and to turn this country around.
I'm the only one running that's delivered on 100% of the promises that I've made.
We've delivered huge victories in the state of Florida, things that Republicans have been asking for for a generation.
I'm also the only one running that has beaten the left time and time again.
We beat the teachers union on universal school choice.
We beat Soros on crime.
We beat Fauci on COVID.
We beat the Dems on election integrity.
And I beat the left by banning China from buying land in the state of Florida.
Now, you know, Nikki Haley is running.
We don't need another mealy-mouthed politician who just tells you what she thinks you want to hear.
His voice is shaking because he's attacking her and his adrenaline is pumping.
That's literally what that is.
and she said the people of Iowa's votes need to be corrected.
Why is his voice shaking?
This is somebody that wrote in her book that Hillary Clinton inspired her to first run for office.
I remember Hillary denigrating people.
nick fuentes
His voice is shaking because he's attacking her and his adrenaline is pumping.
That's literally what that is.
And you know that because his voice was steady until he started attacking her.
And then the second that he started attacking her, the second that he started saying the personal stuff, The voice got shaky.
And that's, that's your fight or flight response.
That's adrenaline.
When you, and it's like anything else, it's like if you go into a store and you get in like a confrontation with like a worker or somebody, and your fight or flight response kicks in, or you know, you get in like a fight, that's what that is.
Which it's like, what a pussy!
I mean, and you know it's that way because it's one-on-one, she's right next to him, like, he's calling her out to her face, there's nowhere to run, can't hide behind the rest of the people, so, I mean, he's literally quivering.
Because his fight or flight has been activated because he's like verbally attacking a woman next to him.
Which is insane.
ron desantis
On the Republican side as deplorables.
We don't need a candidate who's going to look down on middle America.
We've had enough of that.
I'm the only one that's going to be able to lead this country's revival.
I'm asking for your support and I won't let you down.
dana bash
Governor Haley, a response?
nikki haley
Well, I think this is a time that we know that we need a new generational leader.
We have watched our country be in disarray.
We see the world on fire.
And we need someone who's had executive experience.
I've been a two-term governor that took a double-digit unemployment state and turned it into an economic powerhouse.
I was at the UN.
I dealt with Russia, China, Iran every day.
But you're gonna find out tonight that there's gonna be a lot of Ron's lies that have happened.
nick fuentes
Dude, she's so bad.
It's crazy.
She's such a MILF.
Imagine if we had a MILF as president.
I know she's so evil.
I know she's just like an evil warmonger slave to Wall Street and the Jews, but like... It's kinda hot.
nikki haley
That's so base!
She literally bought the domain.
That's crazy.
What we're going to do is rather than have him go and tell you all these lies, you can go to DeSantisLies.com.
unidentified
Okay.
nikki haley
And look at all those.
nick fuentes
That's so base.
She literally bought the domain.
That's crazy.
I love doing shit like that.
nikki haley
... lies that he's told about me.
And you can see where fact checkers say exactly what's going to happen and exactly why it's wrong.
So it will cover the fact that he's only mad about the donors, because the donors used to be with him, but they're no longer with him now.
And that's because he's upset about the fact that his, his campaign is exploding.
nick fuentes
You're gonna see the fact that he has switched his, um, policy... But she just said that that's exactly what Hillary Clinton said.
When she said, oh, your campaign is exploding, that's literally what... Okay, I don't know what this is, by the way.
This is super weird.
I've never seen that before.
Let's just get off of this.
But that's word-for-word what Hillary Clinton said in this debate.
unidentified
I'll cut the transcripts.
nick fuentes
I don't have a transcript.
unidentified
I've been a politician.
And so much to rise.
hillary clinton
You talk about got mimicked and who's my.
Because everything he just said is absolutely false, but I'm not surprised.
In the first debate, in the first debate, I told people that it would be impossible to be fact-checking Donald all the lives better for people.
You can fact-check him, fact-check, fact-check him in real time.
Last time, at the first debate, we had, uh, because with the temperament of Joe, it is, uh, it's just awfully good that- I, uh... Clinton, I do... ...of Donald.
It is, so I expect... ...not applaud... ...of your handling of... ...there were... ...repeat it, because I want everyone to hear it.
That was a mistake... ...is, uh... ...it's also... ...some... ...a year long... ...uh... ...any... ...clariously... ...out of class... ...sum... ...for... ...that word... ...what that letter meant... ...act after... ...was fine... ...e-mails had to do with her... ...I for some... ...and more... ...Congress... ...department... ...that e-mail... ...subpoena... ...the audience... ...private sector... ...a chance here... ...jail... ...let alone... ...look...
It's just not true.
3,000?
Well, we turned over 30,000.
Well, you talked.
Yes, that's true.
I didn't.
unidentified
Because you have nothing to say.
hillary clinton
I didn't in the first debate, and I'm going to try not to in this debate, because I'd like to get to the questions that the people have brought here tonight to talk to us about.
donald j trump
And get off this question.
hillary clinton
Okay Donald, I know you're into big diversion tonight.
Anything to avoid talking about your campaign and the way it's exploding and the way Republicans are leaving you.
nick fuentes
Isn't that weird?
That DeSantis said, get this, DeSantis said that Nikki Haley got in the race or got into politics because she was inspired by Hillary Clinton.
And then Haley, isn't that a little bit, I know maybe it's a stretch, but isn't that a little bit uncanny that she said word for word Republicans are abandoning you and your campaign is exploding, which is exactly what Hillary Clinton said in that debate.
It's the exact... I know, maybe that's a stretch, maybe that you're like rolling your eyes is tedious, but... And that's because he's upset about the fact that his campaign is exploding.
nikki haley
You're gonna see...
So she says, you're only talking about donors because your donors are leaving you and your campaign's exploding.
And that's literally what Clinton said.
the donors because the donors used to be with him, but they're no longer with him now.
And that's because he's upset about the fact that his campaign is exploding.
You're going to see.
nick fuentes
So she says, you're only talking about donors because your donors are leaving you and your campaign's exploding.
And that's literally what Clinton said.
hillary clinton
Let's look about your campaign and the way it's exploding and the way Republicans are leaving you.
nick fuentes
That's crazy.
nikki haley
The fact that he has switched his policies multiple times, and we'll call that out tonight.
nick fuentes
But every time he lies- Well, and you wonder why that's crazy?
It's probably because she studied that.
Because if you're a presidential candidate in a presidential debate, what do you do to prepare?
You watch the other debates.
And which debates do you watch?
Well, you watch the recent ones.
If you're a woman, maybe you want to watch the only other presidential debate that a woman was in, which, outside of the Democratic primary debates with Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, it would be the general election debate, Trump and Hillary, in 2016.
So, you wonder if she literally lifted that right out of there, or maybe subconsciously.
nikki haley
Drake University, don't turn this into a drinking game, because you will be over-served by the end of the night.
ron desantis
Well, I think this is interesting, because you can actually go to rondosanus.com, because Nikki Haley has this tactic.
If you hold her accountable to her record, first she'll say, I never said that.
Well, one good rule of thumb, if she says she's never said something, that definitely means she said it.
And then she'll say, you're lying, you're lying.
That means not only did she say it, but she's on videotape saying it.
And so we have all the greatest hits.
The reality is Nikki Haley is not somebody that has been willing to stand in and fight on behalf of conservatives.
You know, she ran for governor saying she was going to do universal school choice, and she caved to the teachers union.
She didn't deliver that.
In Florida, I delivered the largest expansion of school choice in the history of the United States.
I beat the teachers union, and you know what the results are?
When she was governor of South Carolina, she was rated 50th in education, dead last.
You know where Florida is under my watch?
Number one in the nation.
dana bash
Your response, Governor Haley?
nikki haley
Go to DeSantisLies.com and you can find out for yourself.
But why don't we talk about the fact that, if we're going to say this, when Ron was representing Florida, he said that he promised not to raise the debt limit when he got to D.C.
Yet he raised the debt limit by hundreds of billions of dollars.
He used to support Ukraine.
He supported Ukraine when President Obama was in office.
Now he's trying to copy Trump and saying that he no longer supports Ukraine and doesn't want to give them foreign aid anymore.
He also goes and says that he wants to talk about me insulting Iowans.
Iowans know when you're telling a joke.
The fact that he's only running in one state is not the way you win president.
I'm running in all states.
But he should tell Iowans why he authored legislation to ban the renewable fuel standard that's so important to Iowans economy.
And the fact that he co-sponsored five different pieces of legislation to get rid of it.
And also, then he also said he would never do anything with Social Security.
Yet he voted three times to raise the retirement age of Social Security.
dana bash
Thank you, Governor.
nikki haley
So if you're going to talk about what you said and what you did, I think you've got your own explaining to do rather than telling lies about... Thank you, Governor.
jake tapper
We're going to get to a lot of these issues in the debate.
Governor Haley, when Governor Christie dropped out of the race just a few hours ago, he said the most important issue is, quote, the character of the candidate.
Governor Christie also said he ran because he knew he would be the only Republican candidate to speak the truth about former President Donald Trump.
Do you believe Donald Trump has the character to be president again?
nikki haley
Well, I think the next president needs to have moral clarity.
I think you need to have moral clarity to understand that it's taxpayer money, not your own money.
I think you need to have moral clarity to understand that when you're dealing with dictators in the world that we always have to fight for democracies and human rights and protecting Americans and preventing war.
And so when you look at Donald Trump, I have said...
I think he was the right president at the right time.
I agree with a lot of his policies, but his way is not my way.
I don't have vengeance.
I don't have vendettas.
I don't take things personally.
For me, it's very much about no drama, no whining, and getting results and getting them done.
So I don't think that President Trump is the right president to go forward.
I think it's time for a new generational leader that's going to go and make America proud again.
That's what I'm going to try and do.
jake tapper
Governor DeSantis, what is your response to Chris Christie?
Do you believe Donald Trump has the character to be president again?
ron desantis
Well, I'm running because I'm the guy that's going to be able to engineer a comeback for this country.
I appreciated what President Trump did, but let's just be honest.
He said he was going to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it.
He did not deliver that.
He said he was going to drain the swamp.
He did not deliver that.
He said he was going to hold Hillary accountable.
And he let her off the hook.
He said he was going to eliminate the debt, and he added $7.8 trillion to the debt.
So we need to deliver and get this stuff done.
And I think the difference between Nikki Haley and me, you know, I listened to all that litany of stuff.
You know, I debated the governor of California, Gavin Newsom.
You know, I thought he lied a lot.
Man, Nikki Haley gives him a run for his money, and she may even be more liberal than Gavin Newsom is.
We are in a situation here in Florida...
nick fuentes
As Republicans, you need somebody... This is just like debate club without Trump in it.
It's just like so gay.
They're like, you're a liar.
No, you're a liar.
No, you're more liberal than, you know, and Trump would get up there and be like, hey, shut the fuck up.
Hey, Jeb, you little bitch.
Remember when, do you remember when he called Joe Biden stupid?
Don't ever use that word with me, Joe.
And just like talking over him, total bulldoze, like this is amateur hour, this is debate club.
ron desantis
...that is going to be in there and fight for you.
And Nikki Haley, anytime the going gets tough, anytime people come down, she caves.
When you need someone standing and fighting for you, don't look for Nikki Haley.
You won't be able to find her if you had a search warrant.
jake tapper
Thank you Governor, Governor Haley.
nikki haley
Look, I think I dealt with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea every day.
No one ever said I caved.
I defended America and I fought for America.
But I'll also say this.
This is not a time where you have to have pettiness.
I wish Donald Trump was up here on this stage.
He's the one that I'm running against.
He's the one that I wish would be here.
He needs to be defending his record.
Right now, he's not defending the fact that he allowed us to have $8 trillion in debt over four years.
unidentified
When she talks, I just tune out.
nick fuentes
She's talking in this sing-songy cadence.
And it's just like totally just going right over my head.
It's not, it's not engaging at all.
unidentified
I thought people liked Trump because Trump was just like talking to you.
nick fuentes
Trump, they would, you know, they go from debate club correspondent to debate club person and they're doing this, um, well I believe I'll be elected because I'm the most conservative one and Ron DeSantis, and then Trump would be like, We can't fight two people at one time.
We gotta go at ISIS.
You gotta knock them off hard.
And then you can go for Syria.
We went in Iraq.
We don't even have it.
You can't even go there.
Like, he was just talking to you.
It's like you go into a restaurant and the guy's like mopping the counter or whatever with a towel.
And you're talking to that guy.
You're like, hey, what's going on?
It's like that guy.
The way they're talking, it's just like this speech team Debate team cadence.
Trump was like, all right, look, we spent $5 trillion.
We don't even have it.
You have to take the oil.
As if it's that simple.
They're like, we invaded Iraq.
We didn't even take their oil.
And you caused 9-11.
I miss it.
This is just trash.
I miss him.
nikki haley
He's the king.
the fact that they gave us COVID. - He's the king, he's the king of America. - The fact that they've gone and continued to put up Chinese police stations and continue to threaten our military.
He didn't do enough to make sure that we were really standing with our friends and doing some other things.
What we need is a leader that's not looking at four years and eight years.
We need a president that's looking at 20 and 30 years because I want my kids to have a good future.
I want them to have one without debt, one where they can read, one with secure borders, one where we have law and order, and one where America is strong.
unidentified
Thank you.
ron desantis
With all due respect, you know, for her to single out Donald Trump on China, look, I think he could have been tougher on him 100%.
When Nikki Haley was governor of South Carolina, she was the number one governor in America for Republicans of bringing China into her state.
She wrote a love letter to the ambassador saying that they were a great friend.
She's on video saying China's a friend.
She had a business, five Chinese business, five miles from a military base.
There's a video of her on the website right in front of a Chinese flag saying that she works for them now.
So that was her number one achievement as governor was bringing China into the state of South Carolina.
So you say you're going to look 10, 20, 30 years down the road?
Why wasn't she doing that then when people were raising the red flags about it?
In Florida, I banned China from buying land in our state and we kicked them out of our university.
That's what you need to be doing.
dana bash
We're going to talk about China in a little bit.
I want to talk about the economy, which, according to a recent Des Moines Register poll, shows that the economy is the top issue for caucus-goers here.
So, Governor Haley, the rate of inflation is down.
Prices, though, are still high, and Americans are struggling to afford food, cars, and housing.
What is the single most important policy that you would implement as president to make the essentials I think we have to acknowledge that Republicans and Democrats have both done this.
nikki haley
I mean, the fact that they've done all of this wasteful spending.
They did a $2.2 trillion COVID stimulus bill that expanded welfare that's now left us with 80 million Americans on Medicaid, 42 million Americans on food stamps.
That's a third of our country.
What I will do is I think it's time we have an accountant in the White House.
We have to have someone that respects taxpayer dollars.
And we'll start by clawing back $100 billion of unspent COVID dollars that are still out there.
We'll go and instead of 87,000 IRS agents going after middle America, we'll go after the hundreds of billions of dollars of COVID fraud, one out of every $7.
If 8% of our budget is interest, quit borrowing, cut Cut up the credit cards.
I had to balance a budget as governor.
You have to balance a budget every day.
Why is Congress the only group that refuses to balance a budget?
We'll stop the spending.
We'll stop the borrowing.
We'll eliminate the pet projects and the earmarks, and I'll veto any spending bill that doesn't take us back to pre-COVID levels.
And then we want to make sure that we allow the middle class to breathe.
We're going to eliminate the federal gas and diesel tax in this country, and cut taxes on the middle class, and simplify those brackets.
And then we want to make the small business tax cuts permanent.
They made corporate tax cuts permanent, but they made small business tax cuts temporary.
Small businesses are the heartbeat of America.
We need to prove it by making those tax cuts permanent.
dana bash
Governor DeSantis, what's your response?
How would you make those essentials more affordable for Americans?
ron desantis
Well, I disagree with Ambassador Haley.
We don't need an accountant in the White House, we need a leader in the White House.
That's what I would say.
I've spoken with Iowans, I'm visiting all 99 counties, and also folks all across this country.
The American dream is slipping away.
People are working hard, they're getting the most out of their God-given ability, they're doing everything right, and they're falling further and further behind.
Trying to afford a new home today, your monthly mortgage payment would probably be twice as much as what it would have been if you were starting out Five years ago, we have to make the economy work for those folks.
Yes, we're going to battle the spending in Florida.
You look and we have the national debt clock going up to 34 trillion.
I see it.
You did a debt clock for the state of Florida.
It would be counting down because we've paid down 25% of our state debt just since I've been governor.
That's such a gay line.
open up all energy for production because that will be deflationary.
You know, Nikki Haley, when she was governor, she promised she would never do the gas tax.
Then she tried to raise the gas tax on hardworking South Carolinians.
Here's the thing.
We need to fly a flag of bold colors, carrying the banner of putting the American people first, not the pale pastels of the warmed over corporatism of people like Nikki Haley.
nick fuentes
That's such a gay line.
Shut the fuck up.
Not the pale pastels of the warmed over corporatism of Nikki Haley.
Shut up, faggot.
ron desantis
Of bold colors, carrying the banner of putting the American people first.
Not the pale pastels of the warmed-over corporatism of people like Nikki Haley.
dana bash
Governor Haley, I want to bring you in.
nick fuentes
Did he think that?
I mean, he really thought he cooked with that line.
He really thought everyone was going to eat that up.
unidentified
Oh my goodness, that was so great.
nick fuentes
Pale pastels and bold colors.
Dude, we want America first.
dana bash
Because Governor DeSantis mentioned the gas tax, you do want to eliminate the federal gas tax.
And that tax generated approximately $40 billion in 2022 and helps pay for road construction and repair.
So how would you fix America's roads and bridges if you take that money away?
nikki haley
Well, first of all, bless his heart, DeSantisLies.com.
We have never raised a tax.
nick fuentes
You tried to.
nikki haley
I've never raised a tax at all.
You tried.
ron desantis
You're on video.
dana bash
Governor DeSantis, she has the floor.
nikki haley
So, I can tell you that we killed the gas tax multiple times, but what we said is if you want to raise the gas tax, you have to reduce the income tax by five times that amount.
They didn't want to do it.
We've killed taxes every step of the way.
But if he's going to talk about his economy, I think what we should say is, why does Florida have the highest property insurance in the country?
Why is it that it is named the American hotspot for inflation?
Why is it that his state is now known to have the highest cost of living increases?
And why is it that they're saying senior citizens can no longer afford to live in Florida?
So that's the first thing I'll say.
We don't need him doing that to our country.
When it comes to the gas tax, When we eliminate that federal tax, the money is collected in the states and they send it to the feds.
The feds attach a lot of strings to it and send it back.
75% comes from the state, 25% comes from the federal government.
What they do when they add those strings is they pay for a lot of things that aren't roads.
Green spaces, sidewalks, all of those things, but they attach strings.
I want that money to stay in the states.
I want the states to be able to decide how to spend it.
I don't want Washington bureaucrats deciding what we need for scenery and green space and all those other things.
I want every state, including the state of Iowa, to make the decisions on how they spend their road spending instead of the federal government.
dana bash
Governor DeSantis, your response?
ron desantis
She kind of admitted that she did try to raise the gas tax.
And she's on video saying this.
I know she'll say it.
She never said it, but she is.
nikki haley
You snipped it.
unidentified
She did.
nikki haley
You took a little piece of that.
That is not true.
unidentified
She also raised taxes when she was in South Carolina.
ron desantis
That's on the record.
And she even proposed a tax on groceries at one point.
But I'm just thinking, have you seen your grocery bill lately?
That's one of the things that's hitting working people the most, that groceries are going up probably twice as much what you do.
But I also think it's important that we lift people up.
So in Florida, we eliminated all sales tax on every baby item.
Diapers, wipes, strollers, cribs.
We want families to be able to prosper in this country.
One of the things that's causing so much problem is the breakdown in the American family.
We've done a lot in Florida to be able to rejuvenate that, but we need to make it easier for people to raise children in this country so that we can have strong families in a strong country.
dana bash
At a CNN town hall last week, you said you support a flat tax, which is a single income tax rate for every American.
Under your plan, would working families pay the same tax rate as billionaires?
ron desantis
I would only do it if people are better off than they are now.
I mean, I want people paying less taxes.
Actually, if you think, the last year we have numbers for, the federal government took in the highest percentage of taxes from the economy since World War II.
And yet, they're going deep into debt.
We have a spending problem in this country.
It's not a tax problem in this country.
And if you had something that was simple and transparent, not only would that be better for economic growth, it's also better to end the weaponization of government.
The IRS has been weaponized against conservatives, going back to the Obama administration.
I was there for that.
No one's been held accountable for doing that.
You look at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, the weaponization of federal power ends the day I become the president of the United States.
There's going to be a new sheriff in town.
We're going to restore the constitutional accountability that our founding fathers envisioned when they when they formatted the Constitution.
And, you know, I've talked to folks who have overbearing federal.
nick fuentes
You know what?
Can we just.
Let's just watch the Trump town hall instead.
I was going to watch that, but I want to watch this instead.
Is that okay?
Or to, you know, I mean I know I titled the video Trump, uh, you know, DeSantis, Haley.
Okay.
Ones if we should keep watching this debate.
Twos if we should watch the Trump Town Hall.
Cause this just sucks.
Like this is just boring.
I have no interest in this at all.
Ones for this.
Twos for the Trump Town Hall.
unidentified
Alright.
nick fuentes
We watch the Trump Town Hall.
I've heard enough of that crap.
unidentified
Thank you for being here, Mr. President.
We appreciate you making the track.
And before we begin, we want to offer our condolences to you and the former First Lady Melania Trump for the loss of her mother last night.
donald j trump
Thank you very much.
Great woman.
Thank you very much.
Appreciate it.
unidentified
We do want to note that today there was some breaking campaign news.
Take a listen.
It's clear to me tonight that there isn't a path.
For me to win the nominations.
Which is why I'm suspending my campaign tonight for President of the United States.
I am going to make sure that in no way do I enable Donald Trump to ever be President of the United States again.
So that was the big news.
Late today, the former governor of New Jersey dropped out of the race in New Hampshire.
You saw it there.
There's a lot of speculation now that there could be a combining of forces of the people who supported him.
He had about 12 percent there.
And by some estimates, you're ahead by an average of 14 in the RealClearPolitics average polling in New Hampshire.
So if that 12 goes to Nikki Haley, she could give you a run for your money there.
donald j trump
Well, you know, you have Democrats in New Hampshire, and they vote.
And you have independents in New Hampshire in large numbers, and they vote.
And I have polls that show me leading by a tremendous amount in New Hampshire, and a lot in Iowa.
And nationwide, we're leading by almost 60 points.
So I'm not exactly worried about it.
I understand New Hampshire very well.
I've won it twice.
And did very well with New Hampshire.
I love the people.
They love me, I think.
We did a good job for New Hampshire economically and even from the standpoint of the military, taking care of the vets.
And I think we're going to do very well in New Hampshire.
Now, you know, Chris Christie was in, and he got a hot mic I heard about.
I thought, actually, the biggest story wasn't the fact that he dropped out.
Nobody cared too much about that.
He had a hot mic where he was talking to somebody about the weather and he happened to say that she doesn't have what it takes she'll be creamed in the in the election and I mean I know her very well and I happen to believe that Chris Christie's right that's one of the few things he's been right about actually.
unidentified
You don't think it changes the dynamic much?
donald j trump
I don't know if it does or not.
Look, we're winning tremendously here.
nick fuentes
Our leader.
donald j trump
I think we're 20, 24 points up.
I brought some polls if you want to see them.
He's got them in the pocket.
But New Hampshire's interesting.
It's a great place, a great state.
Unbelievable people.
But they allow independents and Democrats to vote in the Republican primary.
You say, what's that all about?
So it's a little bit false.
nick fuentes
He printed them out.
donald j trump
Even with that, I think we'll win substantially.
unidentified
Mr. President, we want to get to our first questioner.
Robert is an optometrist from Ankeny.
Robert, where are you?
Do you know which way you're going to caucus on Monday?
Yes, I do.
Okay, can we ask you?
I'm going to vote for the third time for President Trump.
donald j trump
Oh, I like him.
I knew I liked Robert.
unidentified
What's your question for the former president?
I just wanted to say also thank you, President Trump, for your support of the vets.
My wife and I and my oldest son are all veterans of the United States Army.
We appreciate it.
donald j trump
Thank you very much.
unidentified
Some of my friends that supported you in 2020 are not this time.
because they believe a Trump presidency will bring four years of chaos due to your haters.
What is your response to them?
donald j trump
Well, I think, first of all, I'm glad you're asking the question.
And I'm very glad that you started off by saying you're with me because I want you on my side.
I figured maybe Fox would have written that question if it was just the second part of the question.
Just so you understand.
unidentified
We didn't write any of the questions.
Just to be clear.
We'll figure that one out pretty soon. - Oh yeah, shut up bitch.
Let's go.
nick fuentes
Look at her, she's shaking her head.
He's the man.
He just dominates the room.
I love the little head shake.
He's like, yeah, this whole thing's fixed by the way.
unidentified
First question, he's like, yeah, this whole thing is fixed by the way.
nick fuentes
And they're like, no, it isn't.
And he's like, yeah, it is.
donald j trump
That went out pretty soon.
They have chaos now.
They have chaos at the border.
They have chaos in the military.
People are going, we have the greatest military in the world, except for the top, where they want to turn this beautiful thing we built.
We beat ISIS, knocked them out.
It was supposed to take four years.
I did it in literally three months.
It was supposed to take four or five years.
But we have chaos now.
Look at today with Hunter Biden going into Congress and just sitting down and the bedlam that's been caused.
Today you have chaos.
We have, I think, more with Joe Biden.
He can't put two sentences together and he's representing us on nuclear weapons with Putin and Xi and all of these very smart people.
Media hates when I say they're smart.
But let me tell you, they're very smart and they're very cunning.
And I think he had very little chaos.
I think most of the chaos was caused by the Democrats constantly going after me.
And remember this.
Remember that with phony Russia, Russia, Russia.
I mean, if you look at Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, everything was phony.
The FISA warrants, the lying to Congress.
They had chaos.
They were the ones that caused the chaos.
We didn't have chaos.
We got the biggest tax cuts in history, the biggest regulation cuts in history.
I had no wars.
I'm the only president in 72 years.
I didn't have any wars.
unidentified
That's my president.
donald j trump
That guy was Roman Slater.
nick fuentes
You see that?
Little Roman.
unidentified
Look at that guy, see?
donald j trump
And they love that narrative, but they use that narrative because they have nothing else.
Now, the new narrative they have, as you know, is I'm going to be a dictator.
That's going to be the new narrative.
Because a guy like Biden, there's nothing he can run on.
Everything he's turned out, it's turned out badly.
The border is a disaster, the worst border in history.
I think the worst border in the history of the world.
We had the best border In the history of our country, we never had a border like that.
So I think we had very little chaos.
I think we had tremendous success.
And frankly, until COVID came along, and then we did a great job on that, too.
We never got the kind of credit that I got on the economy.
But we had the greatest economy in history.
And you take a look at our numbers.
The numbers were so much better than they are right now.
We had no inflation.
We were energy independent.
We had so much energy.
We were ready to start.
Supplying energy, selling energy to Europe, Asia.
We would have started to pay down our debt.
And then when COVID came along, we had to do a little bit of a course change.
But we had an incredible four years.
Again, the greatest economy in the history of our country with no inflation.
Pretty good.
unidentified
Thank you for your service and for your question.
Thank you for being here tonight.
One of the things that Ron DeSantis said in a town hall this week was that it might feel good to Republicans to vote for you and support you in the primary, but he felt they shouldn't leave the general election potentially up to 12 jurors in a D.C.
court.
What do you say to him about that?
donald j trump
Well, it's a witch hunt by its weaponization.
If you look at it, it's election interference by Biden because he can't win it fair and square.
So he's doing that.
And interestingly, you see what happened in Georgia with Fannie Willis and a million dollars almost to her boyfriend is the prosecutor of Trump.
That one's blown up now.
It's horrible what has taken place.
But it's very interesting when you look at Ron's numbers.
He's practically out of the race.
In fact, a lot of people say he's leaving the race after Iowa because he's doing so poorly.
He's also doing very poorly, as you know, in New Hampshire.
I mean, really poorly.
And I'm leading Biden in every single poll.
that's been taken over the last month or two.
I just see one I'm leading in Michigan by 11.
That's great.
The auto workers are smart.
They know that Biden has sold them down the tubes with the electric cars, all electric car mandate, the craziest thing I've ever heard.
And they're going to all be made in China too.
So I think when you look at what we've done, we are doing a great job and we did a great job.
And that's why I'm leading in the polls by 60 and 75.
unidentified
You know, in recent days, you seem to issue a warning that if in the courts, and even the U.S.
Supreme Court, if they didn't treat you fairly, that maybe there would be bedlam in the country.
Use that word, bedlam in the country.
And in the last two days, at the same time, in the last two speeches, President Biden is focusing his campaign on the threat to democracy and political violence.
donald j trump
Take a listen.
joe biden
I'll say what Donald Trump won't.
Political violence is never, ever acceptable in the United States political system.
Never, never, never.
unidentified
All right, so to Robert's question, this is clearly a focus of the Biden campaign.
So can you say tonight that political violence is never acceptable?
donald j trump
Well, of course, that's right.
And of course, I'm the one that had very little of it.
Take a look at wars.
Again, I didn't start.
I wasn't involved in wars.
We beat the hell out of ISIS.
We won 100%.
We brought our troops back home.
Look at the violence that we've had.
Look at the violence we have recently.
unidentified
Right, but when you say Bedlam, What do you mean?
donald j trump
I think you have bedlam.
I think you look at Joe Biden, it's bedlam.
You have a man who can't lead.
You have a man who can't find his way off a stage after he makes a speech that lasts for about two minutes.
No, I think bedlam is Joe Biden.
I think that he's using this.
This is just a political ploy.
Trump is a dictator.
He wants to be a dictator.
You know, it's interesting.
I did a show with Sean Hannity.
Did you ever hear of him?
He's a very nice man.
And he said, essentially, You're not going to be a dictator, are you?
Tell me.
I think he was trying to give me a nicer question than maybe you guys would.
He meant it very well.
I said, I'm going to be a dictator for one day.
We're going to do two things.
The border.
We're going to make it so tight you can't get in unless you come in legally.
And the other is energy.
We're going to drill, baby, drill.
After that, I'm not going to be a dictator.
After that, I'm not going to be a dictator.
ron desantis
So you weren't saying- No, no.
donald j trump
And the press picks it up.
So I said, I'm going to be a dictator for one day.
They cut it.
They go, I'm going to be a dictator.
But they cut the rest of the sentence.
No, no.
I am not going to be a dictator.
I will manage.
Like we did.
We were so successful that the country was coming together.
It was actually coming together and coming together well.
It was a beautiful thing to see.
And we're going to do that again.
By the way, that's why I have the poll numbers that I have.
Because the people, I think this audience is an example.
I mean, I asked a question, I said...
How many people came last night?
unidentified
How many people came the night before?
donald j trump
And I got a very honest answer.
Not many compared to what we have.
We had a great crowd and have a great crowd.
unidentified
We want to hear from some more of them.
We do have a big crowd tonight.
That's absolutely true.
So let's hear from Jane Jack, who is a teacher from Rhodes, Iowa.
Jane, thank you so much for being here.
And you said that you plan to caucus for DeSantis, but you're not completely decided.
Is that right?
No, I am firmly, I will be caucusing for DeSantis.
But I will say, Mr. President, I am extremely grateful that in your first term, you accomplished so many great things.
Shut up.
But it was also with the help of many great people.
nick fuentes
Oh, shut up.
unidentified
Since that time, you have publicly criticized and personally demeaned- This is like, this is the face of white suicide.
nick fuentes
Of white, of you know, these boomer civility cucks that are like, Um, you did a good job, but you don't have the temperament.
It's like... Bitch.
It's white pride.
It's white survival, dude.
We do need a dictator.
unidentified
DeSantis?
nick fuentes
This is why they shouldn't vote.
unidentified
So many of them.
If you're given four more years, how will you convince good people to take the risk of working with you?
nick fuentes
Oh, shut... That's such a female... That's such a woman question.
unidentified
Erm, but you had help, and you can't get along with everybody.
nick fuentes
She's a teacher, by the way.
What, do you think it's a big kindergarten?
America's just like a big daycare?
You need to get along and play nice with the other.
donald j trump
It's a war, bitch!
nick fuentes
This is a war for the survival of the white race in our country, and you get some female teacher get up and say, how are you gonna convince people to play nice?
What do you think this is, recess?
Snack time?
Sit down, shut the fuck up, and build the missiles.
And take care of the house while your husband is building more missiles for Trump's army.
donald j trump
I will work for him!
nick fuentes
I will work for him.
Everyone in here will work for Trump.
unidentified
We will all be slaves for Trump.
100%.
nick fuentes
I will go and work for no money.
As long as they provide the minimum quality of life, I will go make Stinger missiles For the war against the deep state.
donald j trump
Two of the most important people in the military want to come to work for me.
Everybody wants to come to work for us.
We're gonna have no trouble.
We had great people.
We had a couple that were not great.
Stiffs, as I would call them.
But that's true with anybody.
nick fuentes
He's such a hero.
All these, like, lame people from Iowa, and he's from New York, and he's like, they were stiff.
We had to get rid of them, you know?
I've gotten to know Washington.
I've gotten to know the people.
unidentified
I know the best.
nick fuentes
Mr. Trump from New York City, I think you're kind of rough around the edges.
And he's like, he was a stiff.
We bombed the hell out of him, bro.
donald j trump
I've gotten to know Washington.
I've gotten to know the people.
I know the best.
I know the smart ones, the dumb ones, the weak ones, the strong ones.
And I think you're going to see something like you've never seen before.
And the people in this room know it.
We did an amazing job.
And the reason we have support is because of the job we did.
Now, you like Ron DeSantis, but he wouldn't even be around today.
He'd be working in a pizza shop or perhaps a law firm if I didn't endorse him.
You know, I endorsed him, took him from nothing to winning an election.
And I was all for him.
And then one day he said he had run against me four years later after I got him in.
And I said...
That's not a loyal person.
We can't have that.
That's not a loyal person.
So I think you'll be very impressed with what we're going to do.
We're going to have the greatest economy in the world, which we don't right now.
We have horrible, horrible inflation.
And you know, you're never going to get that 30 percent down.
You might even it, but you're not going to get it down.
But thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
unidentified
Let me just ask you a follow-up on that about who would be in your cabinet, in your administration.
If you are the nominee, which I know you expect to be, who would be in the running for vice president?
donald j trump
Well, I can't tell you that, really.
I mean, I know who it's going to be, but... Give us a hint.
I'll give you... We'll do another show sometime.
unidentified
Well, what about any of the people who you've run against?
Who would you be over the mending fences?
King of America.
He's the boss.
Oh, sure, I will.
donald j trump
I will.
nick fuentes
He's all of our boss.
donald j trump
I've already started to like Christy better.
unidentified
And we all...
Christie for Vice President.
donald j trump
I don't see it.
I don't see it.
That would be an upset.
Christie for Vice President.
unidentified
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to announce... I do want to get to this other question before we move on to the big issues.
And that is Jacqueline.
She is from West Des Moines.
And I think you said you're undecided or you're making your decision.
That's correct.
And do you have a couple people that you're looking at?
Trump and Vivek.
My question is I would like to know what do you ...plan to do in your next term that you didn't quite get finished during your first term.
nick fuentes
I love, dude, his visage is so powerful.
Look at his face.
unidentified
It's like a statue.
nick fuentes
Look at his... Look at this iron visage.
This is the king of America you're talking to.
Scramble!
This is the emperor of America.
Look at this face!
I just want this face on every building, in every classroom, and in every bedroom.
Look at this face.
Look at this stoic.
This is the face of pure determination and American revanchism.
If American revanchism, if a giant American fist punching the earth had a face, it would be this face.
If the will of a nation, of this nation, of whites, punching through a closed fist, punching the earth, and that fist had a face, it would be that face.
Looking down from a six foot three frame at the top of a building.
At the top of a golden skyscraper.
He's like, it's like a spiritual quality.
He's like a, he's, he is truly a mythological hero.
unidentified
Next term that you didn't quite get finished during your first term.
donald j trump
Well, one of the things would be energy, even though I set records on energy, but I was going to be energy dominant.
We were energy independent, and we had your bills down low.
We had your gasoline for the car down to $1.87 a gallon.
We had it down even lower than that at some points.
Now it's at $4 and $5.
That's not acceptable.
Your home heating bills are four and five times higher than they were with me.
So I'd be doing that.
I'd be doing... I'd finish up the wall.
You know, we built over 500 miles of wall.
That's one of the reasons we had the great... And we got Mexico, by the way.
We got Mexico, very importantly, to give us 28,000 soldiers free of charge.
That's more money than anybody can even imagine, free of charge.
And we also remain in Mexico policy, not remain here, remain in Mexico.
So we did a lot of great things, and I would just say we're going to just keep expanding.
We rebuilt the military.
We even did something that hopefully nobody in this room needs, but Right to Try, where we're able to use space-age medicines that won't be approved for four or five years that work in many cases.
And I've saved thousands and thousands of lives with Right to Try.
Thank you very much.
unidentified
So we're going to take a quick break.
We're going to go talk about the economy when we come back.
That is the number one issue in every poll on voters.
nick fuentes
dude he's so he's the man you forget it sometimes because everyone's more based now but he's still the hero he's still the main character Welcome back to our town hall with former President Donald Trump live from Des Moines.
unidentified
Let's get back to some questions.
Yeah, let's get right back to our questions.
This one's from Shelly Flockhart.
There she is.
donald j trump
Hi.
unidentified
Shelly, thank you for coming out tonight.
What are you thinking about Monday night and who you're going to support?
And what's your question for President Trump?
He's sitting right there.
donald j trump
Oh, thank you.
I knew that.
I knew that when I looked at you.
Thank you very much.
nick fuentes
Look at how she lights up.
The emperor smiles upon her and her entire world is illuminated for a moment.
unidentified
The question is, you're a business owner.
I'm a business owner.
I own a small business and time is money.
Would you ever allow a shutdown in the future?
donald j trump
A shutdown in terms of COVID?
Or a shutdown in terms of budget?
Because, you know, they're talking about a budget shutdown right now, but you're talking about a COVID shutdown.
unidentified
Correct.
donald j trump
No, I wouldn't.
And I never did.
I let the governors make their decisions.
And some of them, like from South Carolina, you know, Henry McMaster and, frankly, North Dakota, a few of them.
Tennessee, they didn't shut down at all.
Florida did shut down.
Ron DeSantis shut down.
Or, as he's known, Ron DeSanctimonious.
He should have stayed down very violently, actually, and shut the highways down, the roads down.
unidentified
Violently?
I'm a Federalist, in a sense, because that's the Federalist way.
donald j trump
No, I didn't actually have a shutdown, despite the fact that some people wanted to, and some people didn't want to.
But we had some great governors, and the governors that did the best job were Republican governors, and they were the ones that didn't shut down.
unidentified
Thank you very much.
Love you!
donald j trump
Love you!
unidentified
We love you!
We love him!
That's so crazy!
We love him.
You listen too much to Dr. Fauci.
You were president at the time.
That's so crazy.
nick fuentes
She said love you.
unidentified
We love our king!
donald j trump
We love the King Day!
Love you!
The people love you!
nick fuentes
We love the King Day.
unidentified
Would anyone say that to any other leader?
dana bash
- We love you.
unidentified
- A lot of people say, - The people love you. - That you listen too much to Dr. Fauci.
You were president at the time, could have perhaps influenced keeping things more open.
And of course, Ron DeSantis would definitely argue with you. - We love the King Day.
nick fuentes
Would anyone say that to any other leader?
Any other president like gay Obama is just like, okay.
But then Trump comes on the stage and, like, our hearts are beating out of our chest.
Our world lights up.
It's like the morning sun.
And we look at him and we're like, we love you.
We want you.
We want you for America.
No one else has this effect because he is... He's the guy, dude.
He's the number one man on the planet right now.
unidentified
Characterization of how he handled it.
donald j trump
Some faggot in the live chat says, this is turning gay quick.
Dude, shut the fuck up, faggot.
You're going to hell, you're ugly, your wife is ugly, and you're a homosexual.
You don't like Trump?
nick fuentes
Some faggot in the live chat says, this is turning gay quick.
Dude, shut the fuck up, faggot.
You're going to hell.
You're ugly.
Your wife is ugly.
And you're a homosexual.
You don't like Trump?
Fuck you forever.
donald j trump
I quote, I go by what Dr. Fauci said.
He said that two months in, all the way through, and then eventually changed when it wasn't, you know, that wasn't the dessert of the day.
But Ron DeSantis was a big Dr. Fauci fan, and nobody wants to cover that.
I say it every time.
I don't care if he was or not, but, you know, when they hit me with this question, Dr. Fauci was not a huge factor in my administration.
He became a much bigger factor in Biden's administration.
He was there.
He was somebody that was in government for 40 years.
He did it for 40 years.
That's a long time.
And what do I say?
You know, you've been doing this for 40 years.
Get out.
But he wasn't a big factor with me.
He was a really big factor after I left.
unidentified
You know, on an economic shutdown, you said this week in an interview that if there's an economic crash, that you hope it happens now.
Yeah.
That you don't want to be Herbert Hoover.
donald j trump
I don't want to be Herbert Hoover.
unidentified
You're not saying you're hoping for a crash, just to be clear.
nick fuentes
No, I think that... This is just like a hit piece, dude.
Red Bear's a liberal, just so you know.
donald j trump
I think the economy is horrible, except the stock market's going up, and I think the stock market's going up because...
Stock market's going up, and I think the stock market's going up because I'm leading Biden in all of the polls.
Every poll.
Every single poll for the last... With states that normally are not easy to lead.
You know, when you're leading in Pennsylvania, you're leading in Michigan, you're leading in Wisconsin.
We're leading in virtually every state of the swing states, and overall we're leading by a lot.
Nationwide.
But I would say this.
We have a situation which I believe the stock market goes up because I'm leading.
I think if I wasn't leading, the stock market would be 25% lower.
And I think, frankly, if I didn't win, I think the stock market would crash.
unidentified
When there's a crash, I hope it's going to be during this next 12 months because I don't want to be Herbert Hoover.
donald j trump
Well, I think there will be a crash if I don't win.
And I say that, and I do not want to be Herbert Hoover.
Do you know who Herbert Hoover was?
1929, he was the president, and that was not a good time to be.
I don't want to be Herbert Hoover.
And I won't be Herbert Hoover.
unidentified
So with regard to, you know, when Governor Haley was here the other night, she talked about the $8 trillion added to the debt when you were president.
How do you address that?
donald j trump
Very easily.
We were doing better than anybody has ever done for two and a half years.
And then COVID came along.
We were getting ready to start selling oil to Asia, to Europe.
We're going to pay down our debt, where we were at that time at like $29 trillion.
Now we're $36 trillion.
But we're going to start paying down our debt.
We're going to do things that nobody could believe.
You take a look at Saudi Arabia.
You take a look at some of these countries.
Take a look at Russia.
I mean, Biden drove up the cost of energy.
That's what caused inflation.
But it's also what caused Putin to become rich enough to go and prosecute a war.
And he never even talks about it.
He's the one that caused that war, both rhetorically and by the fact that he drove up the price of oil to $100 a barrel, which is Getting close to record.
And Putin was making a fortune.
He's the only guy made a fortune during a war.
If he didn't have it, I was at $40 a barrel.
If he was at $40 a barrel, Putin wouldn't have done it.
Now he wouldn't have done it for another reason.
unidentified
Me.
donald j trump
He wouldn't have done it, but he also wouldn't have done it because he couldn't have done it because oil wasn't high enough.
At $100 a barrel, he made a lot of money, and he's making a lot of money because it's so high.
And it's also what caused the inflation, because energy is so big, it's such a big deal, that when energy goes up, if you make donuts, if you make hamburgers, anything you do, You have trucks that deliver your product.
You have to heat your stoves, your ovens.
Anything you do, it's all energy.
And we had the highest cost of energy in history.
You know, when they talk about New Hampshire, New Hampshire has the highest price of energy, the highest cost of energy of any state in the nation.
They should vote for me because I'm going to cut their energy price in half.
unidentified
So when Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis hit you again and again on this $8 trillion figure and call you a big government republic, What do you say to that?
donald j trump
I say very simply, we were starting to pay down debt.
We were going to pay down a lot of debt.
When COVID came along, if I didn't inject this country with money, you would have had a depression the likes of which you've never seen.
You had to inject money.
We gave businesses that were going bankrupt, temporarily bankrupt, but they needed money.
We helped businesses.
If I didn't do that, you would have had a depression in this country.
That was a very good investment.
And now, what they should be doing, instead of the kind of debt that they're building at record levels, they should be paying down their debt, and they ought to go into the energy business instead of this green new scam business that they're in.
unidentified
But what about the future?
What about cutting spending?
$34 trillion in debt.
Let's look at what you would do in terms of getting that number down.
What would you get rid of?
donald j trump
We have a lot of cutting, but we also have a lot of income.
We have more liquid gold under our feet, energy, oil and gas, than any other country in the world, more than Saudi Arabia, more than Russia.
And when I came in, we were number four.
When I left, you know, not that long a period of time, four years, we were number one by a lot.
And we were soon going to double up Saudi Arabia and Russia combined.
And we were going to make a lot of money.
We have a lot of potential income.
DeSantis wants to cut Social Security and Medicare.
Nikki Haley wants to cut Social Security and Medicare.
Nikki Haley wanted to raise the age from 65 to 74, 75, or 76.
unidentified
But only for young people in their 20s.
I mean, that's going to run out of money.
donald j trump
That's what they say.
unidentified
So at some point, someone has to address it, right?
donald j trump
That's what they say when it starts.
They say only for young people.
It's only for young people.
And then it doesn't work for young people, and they end up getting up to people that are of the age where it matters.
No good.
unidentified
All right, let's go to Kim, a small business owner from Brines.
Is that correct?
Kim, where are you?
That is correct.
Do you know who you're caucusing for Monday?
I am proud to say I am a caucus captain.
For?
Yes!
Let's go!
Yes!
I have that white and gold hat.
donald j trump
Thank you very much.
unidentified
Let's go.
donald j trump
Thank you very much.
nick fuentes
She's awesome.
unidentified
What's your question for the former president?
You said that you can take care of the border in 24 hours after taking office.
How will you gather the several millions that have already entered our country illegally and return them to their country of origin?
donald j trump
Great question.
It's not sustainable for our country.
We have millions and millions of people here.
It is not sustainable.
Did you see in New York City where they're getting the regular students out and they're putting migrants in their place?
We are going to have the largest deportation effort in the history of our country.
We're bringing everybody back to where they came from.
We have no choice.
We have no choice.
Thank you.
unidentified
Denise is here as well.
nick fuentes
I love how all these white people are just like, Trump is like, we will deport more people than ever in history.
And some of them are just like, oh shit.
unidentified
Some of them are cheering for him, but some of them, they're intimidated by the power.
She came to our town hall last night.
I don't like that.
She came in saying that she was, if I remember correctly, you were leaning towards President Trump, but you did say you heard some things last night that you liked.
So where are you tonight?
I spoke with a lot of my really close friends after last night.
They were all up and wanted to know how it went.
And we got back to President Trump.
He just mentioned, I think, something that you're concerned about.
What's your question?
You just answered part of it, that our kids were displaced in New York City, in the place of illegal migrants.
So what I want to know, in the spirit of making America great again, can you do something about the sanctuary cities?
donald j trump
Well, they're going to be ended because the Democrats are going to end them because you can't sustain it.
If you look at New York, you have a mayor of New York who now is really hostile to the administration because New York City, that's my place.
I love New York.
It's gone.
It's had a tough time.
The previous mayor was the worst mayor in the history of our country, de Blasio.
Do you ever hear of de Blasio?
The worst.
But what's happened is we cannot, this country cannot sustain 15 or 16 million people, because I think that's the real number.
I think by the time his administration ends, and hopefully quickly, Uh, it's going to be 18 million people.
That's bigger than New York State.
That's bigger than just about every state other than one or two.
18 million people.
Remember this.
Many of those people come from jails and prisons.
Many of those people come from mental institutions and insane asylums.
And many of those people are terrorists.
You know, I saw on Fox the other day.
nick fuentes
It was horrible, but beautiful because from my... There's 20 million people and they're all insane criminals and terrorists.
donald j trump
That's so good.
nick fuentes
He's right though, but it's true.
donald j trump
that they know of that came into the country.
You know, I had the travel ban.
They called it the Trump travel ban.
They tried to make a big deal.
The Supreme Court very intelligently approved it.
Without that, we would have had blow-ups.
So we had no terrorist attacks at all during my four years.
We had the Trump travel ban.
And by the way, Iran was broke.
Iran was broke.
I said to China, if you buy oil from Iran, you're not dealing in here.
They immediately dropped.
India, France, Italy, all of these countries were buying from Iran.
Iran would give out billions of dollars to terrorists.
They had no money.
I watched a Democrat congressman the other day on one of the shows, and he said, I'll say one thing about Trump, he said, Trump.
I love when he says his own name like that.
unidentified
- I love what he says to some of the name like that. - They were absolutely broke.
donald j trump
When I let-- - I'll say one thing about Trump, he said.
unidentified
Trump.
donald j trump
I'll say one thing about Trump.
When he did that number on Iran, they were broke.
They were absolutely broke.
When I left, they were broke.
They had no money.
There was no money for Hamas, for Hezbollah.
There was no money for anybody.
They had no money.
And you would say that, too.
I mean, I think even the two of you would say that.
unidentified
And you know how much money they have now?
donald j trump
In three years, under Biden, they have $250 billion.
Anybody.
They had no money.
And you would say that, too.
I mean, I think even the two of you would say that.
They were absolutely stoned.
And you know how much money they have now?
In three years, under Biden, they have $250 billion.
Again, the energy business is a big business.
And not to mention the five hostages that they paid $6 billion for.
Not to mention they got $10 billion for supplying some electricity to Iraq, which, by the way, they own.
And Iraq has $300 billion, and essentially it's a subsidiary of of Iran.
It should have never happened.
Iraq, remember I used to say a long time ago when I was a civilian, now I'm sort of a civilian, but I think I'll never be quite a civilian again.
I'd love to be.
But I used to say, don't go into Iraq.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
But if you're going to do it, keep the oil.
Remember, keep the oil.
They didn't keep the oil.
So they have $300 billion.
And we have nothing.
We have nothing.
You know, they used to say about wars, to the victor belong to spoils.
We go into someplace we obliterate and then we leave.
unidentified
Dude, he's so awesome.
nick fuentes
He's awesome.
He just deserves it.
He should be the king.
Forget the election.
Forget the presidency.
He should just be the leader forever.
Like, how could anyone... Who else would be the leader?
He says about the war in Iraq.
unidentified
Hey, you know, to the victor go the spoils.
nick fuentes
We annihilated them.
Where's the spoils?
We annihilate them, then we leave?
Where's the treasure?
It's like a pirate king.
It's like the fucking barbarian.
donald j trump
You know, they used to say about wars, to the victor belong the spoils.
We go into some place, we obliterate it, and then we leave.
We are run by fools.
We're run by stupid people.
But we ran it very smart for four years, and we won everything.
We won everything.
unidentified
Mr. President, you're talking a lot about... To the victor belong the spoils.
nick fuentes
Look, you defeat Iraq, you get all their stuff.
We get to take all their stuff.
The best... is when they sold the war in Iraq, they said, oh, well...
unidentified
You know, we gotta liberate the Iraqi people, man.
nick fuentes
The government sucks, but the people just want freedom, and we're gonna give it to them.
And Trump is like, we obliterated them.
We didn't take all their stuff.
It used to be you defeat them, to the victor go the spoils.
You obliterate them and then you leave?
Where's the stuff?
Where's the treasure?
Where's the gold?
So awesome.
Remember I said that earlier?
I said that earlier.
We were watching the DeSantis-Haley thing.
It's like DeSantis and Haley are giving the debate team thing.
I said, and Trump used to say, we spent five trillion dollars.
We can't even go there.
You have to take the oil.
We should have taken, and then here he, and then like eight years later, he hasn't let that go.
Nine years later.
It's been almost nine years since he ran in, when he announced at 15.
unidentified
And he goes, to the victor belong the spoils.
donald j trump
I'm smart for four years, run by fools.
We're run by students.
We obliterate it.
Then we leave.
To the victor belong the spoils.
We go into someplace, we obliterate it.
Then we leave.
We are run by fools.
We're run by stupid people.
But we ran it very smart for four years, and we won everything.
We won everything.
unidentified
Mr. President, you're talking a lot about policy.
You get questions about what a second term is going to look like.
When you're in your rallies, you spend a lot of time talking about retribution.
And so there are questions about how much a second term of a Donald Trump presidency, second term, would be about retribution.
donald j trump
Well, first of all, a lot of people would say that that's not so bad.
Look what they did.
Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.
The FBI Twitter hoax.
The 51 intelligence agents hoax.
All of these different hoaxes that they did.
I mean, you know, a lot of people would say that's probably quite normal.
I'm not going to have time for retribution.
We're going to make this country so successful again, I'm not going to have time for retribution.
And remember this.
Our ultimate retribution is success.
When we had just prior to the China virus coming in, if you don't mind, I'd like to be accurate, as opposed to COVID.
It is the China virus.
It came out of Wuhan.
And I said a long time ago in your show, it came out of Wuhan.
They were saying it came out of caves, bat caves, 2,000 miles away.
It came out of Italy, it came out of France.
No, it came out of Wuhan, the labs.
And by the way, I don't think They love him.
They absolutely love him.
He's our king.
He is our leader.
We are his subjects.
But I think, I believe that a scientist went out, said hello to his girlfriend, and that was the end of that.
She died, and then people started dying all over the place.
But who knows?
Who knows?
I can tell you one thing.
I got along with President Xi, but I took in 400 billion-- - They love him.
nick fuentes
They absolutely love him.
He's our king.
unidentified
He is our leader. - I got along with President Xi, but I took in-- - We are his subjects.
donald j trump
Look, and they're absolutely loving him. - $400 billion in tariffs and taxes from China, And one of the reasons China's not doing so well today is because of those tariffs.
And Biden wants to cut them.
You know, he got paid off by China, after all, so he wants to help the people that gave him a lot of money.
But, you know, he's a Manchurian candidate, in a true sense.
He got money from China.
He got money from Russia.
You remember the debate where Chris Wallace, how is he doing, I wonder?
But Chris Wallace, when I said to Biden, I asked him a question.
I said, how come you got $3.5 million from the mayor of Moscow's wife?
And Chris Wallace wouldn't let me ask me.
I said, why are you stopping this?
Now it's turned out to be a big deal.
He got $3.5 million from the mayor of Moscow's wife.
I tell you this, we're gonna have a success that's so great that I won't have, hopefully, I won't have time for retribution.
There won't be retribution, there'll be success.
unidentified
Mr. President, before we wrap up this, you know, there is this report, House Democrats, documents that say that nearly $8 million in payments to your businesses from foreign governments, China included, Saudi Arabia, while you were in office.
They say Article 1 of the Constitution says you can't accept money from foreign governments while president.
Would you pledge to divest from your business in a second term, as other presidents have done?
That's what they're reporting.
donald j trump
I own hotels all over the place.
I don't get free money.
Somebody rents a hotel room, et cetera, et cetera.
Much money I gave back.
In fact, I didn't have to do it.
You know, George Washington was a very rich man.
People don't know that.
In his essentially White House, which wasn't built, but they had an office, he had a business desk and he had a country desk right next to each other.
You're allowed to do that.
I didn't do it.
I put everything in trust.
nick fuentes
This is the record.
There's all these audio issues.
This is from the recording on YouTube, by the way, because it was recorded from live TV.
donald j trump
That's a small amount of money.
And it sounds like a lot of money.
That's a small.
But I was doing services for that.
People were staying in these massive hotels, these beautiful hotels, because I have the best hotels.
I have the best clubs.
I have the best clubs.
I have great stuff.
And they stay there and they pay.
I don't get $8 million for doing nothing like Hunter.
I don't get $500,000.
I don't get $500,000 for doing a painting.
It's not a bad idea, I guess, if you can get away with it.
When I heard that, when I said, there's no way they get away with that, but they got away with that, I guess.
They got away with it.
Now, uh, we have, you know, there was an Amaliamage lawsuit against me where the radical left sued me for that.
nick fuentes
I have good stuff.
donald j trump
And I won the suit.
I got good stuff.
And the judge said, they go to his hotels.
What's he gonna do?
unidentified
There you go.
We want to hear more from Iowa voters.
We're going to take a quick break.
We'll be back here in Des Moines with more of our town hall with former President Donald Trump.
nick fuentes
This is the best.
Absolutely the greatest of all time.
unidentified
Alright, let's wrap this up.
nick fuentes
I have the best hotels.
I have the best clubs.
I got good stuff.
And you know, like, here's the thing, like, all the guys love Trump.
Because Trump is just a guy.
He's not, like, a faggot, nerd, politician.
He's just a guy.
So all these guys in Iowa who are farmers or they own a business or whatever, they look at him and they're like, that's how we are.
That's how we talk.
He's a guy's guy.
You know, they're grilling him with this political bullshit.
unidentified
They're like, oh, well, uh, are you going to divest from your business?
nick fuentes
And he's like, look, I got good shit, OK?
They stay in my hotel.
I got a great hotel.
I mean, they love him.
And they should.
He's the man.
unidentified
He's the man.
Welcome back, everybody, to our town hall with former President Trump.
We're glad to have all of you with us tonight.
I want to try to get in a few more questions here.
We have a lot of good ones.
Let's go to Rebecca.
She is a mom of six from Ogden.
There she is.
Hi, Rebecca.
Hi.
Are you decided, leaning towards one person or another?
Well, for me, it all comes down to this question.
Between you, sir, President Trump, and Ron DeSantis, because you both talk a lot about pro-life, your record, and that's my number one issue, and the cry of my heart is justice for all people.
And I've been, you know, vocal and celebrating with you all of your pro-life victories from the past.
But then in this campaign, you've also blamed pro-lifers for some of the GOP losses around the country, and you've called heartbeat laws like Iowa's terrible.
And so I'd just like some clarity on this, because it's such an important question to me.
I'd like for you to reassure me that you can protect all life, every person's right to life, without compromise.
donald j trump
So, that's a great question.
I appreciate it too.
You wouldn't be asking that question, even talking about the issue, because for 54 years they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated, and I did it.
And I'm proud to have done it.
They wanted to get it back, right?
You wouldn't have that.
There would be no question.
Nobody else was going to get that done but me.
We did it.
And we did something that was a miracle.
When I walked onto the stage today, a gentleman in the back, probably works for Fox, nice guy, said, sir, I'd like to thank you.
I said, for what?
He said, you saved two million lives in the last Three years.
You saved two million lives.
And I said, thank you very much.
I knew exactly what he meant.
Two million lives.
And nobody's done more in that regard than me.
Now, I happen to be, for the exceptions, like Ronald Reagan, with the life of the mother, rape, incest, I just have to be there, I feel.
I think probably 78% or so, Paul, about 78%.
It was Ronald Reagan.
He was for it.
I was for it.
But I will say this.
You have to win elections.
Otherwise, you're going to be back Well, you were, and you can't let that ever happen again.
You've got to win elections.
If you look at it, Iran, DeSantis, I don't know what he really believes, because, you know, you never know with a politician, and he's just another politician, as far as I'm concerned.
But his poll numbers have gone down to a level that he's going to be out of the race very soon.
He's going to be out very soon.
You know, I watched him last night.
He's standing up with his shoes, his fancy shoes.
And he's going to be out of the race within, you know, a lot of people say before, before New Hampshire.
I don't know if that were the reason.
I hope it wasn't the reason.
I hope it's for other reasons.
I could see a lot of other reasons why he shouldn't be.
But he's doing very, very poorly.
It happened to coincide with that, because a lot of people say a lot of, you know, if you talk five or six weeks, a lot of women don't know if they're pregnant in five or six weeks.
I want to get something where people are happy.
You know, this has been tearing our country apart for 50 years.
Nobody's been able to do anything.
And again, you can only ask that question, and you ask it brilliantly.
And I understand exactly where you're coming from.
I love where you're coming from.
But we still have to win Elections and they've used this you know, we have some great Republicans and they're great on the issue and you would love them on the issue And a lot of them have just been decimated in the election decimated.
I mean absolutely so we're going to come up with something that people Want and people like I would love you to first of all you have to go with your heart, okay?
You have to go with your heart first go with your heart your mind go with it But you do also have to put in there a little bit you have to win elections But if it weren't for me with Roe v. Wade you wouldn't even be talking about this up You wouldn't be asking that question because we're great, but I remember this they're the radicals.
We're not the radicals because they'll kill a baby remember I had the debate with crooked Hillary Clinton and I don't call her crooked anymore.
I use that now for Joe Biden, as you know.
I call her beautiful, Hillary.
She's a beautiful woman.
But in the debate with Hillary Clinton, I said, they said, you know, she's willing to rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month.
And you know, I never heard this.
It happened to me.
It just came to me during that debate.
I didn't go up there thinking I was going to say that.
And she even winced.
Nobody wants to see that happening after a certain period of time.
Nobody.
They're the radicals because they're willing to kill the baby in eight months, nine months, or even after birth.
If you remember the former governor of Virginia where he said, You kill the baby after the ninth month, or even after you set the baby aside, and you have a conversation with the mother.
And if the conversation, can you imagine?
But these are the radicals.
We're not the radicals.
We are not the radicals.
But we're living in a time when there has to be a little bit of a concession one way or the other.
And I think, you know, I want to get it right.
I have to get it right.
But without what I did, you would never even be asking that question, because there was no chance that that was going to happen.
For 54 years, they campaigned on that issue, and nobody pulled it off but me.
So I think you're going to be happy in the end.
Thank you very much.
unidentified
All right.
Thank you very much for that question.
Let's go to Bo.
Bo, you're from Madrid, Iowa.
Madrid.
nick fuentes
At the end of the day, it's just politics.
And I like that Trump just says it because he's just right.
You know, the...
The Dems are obviously trying to make pro-life a poison pill because on the one side you've got the fact that most women do not support these laws and it is costing Republicans elections.
On the other side, you have the pro-lifers that are trying to kill the Republicans if they are not sufficiently pro-life.
And you hear all these people, like, on the other stage, they're waffling about it.
They say, well, we need to build a consensus, or we need to do this or that.
And I like that Trump just comes out and says it's politics.
You know, I'm pro-life, but we have to win the election.
It is what it is.
And that's true.
I mean, that's completely true.
And I think people are mature enough to understand that without having to be lied to.
unidentified
I'm so sorry.
I knew I could get through every city I thought.
Well, Madrid.
Do you know how you're going to caucus?
donald j trump
Trump, 100%.
Oh, I like that.
unidentified
Do you have a question?
donald j trump
Thank you.
unidentified
Go ahead.
How would you de-escalate global tensions and keep the United States out of foreign wars?
donald j trump
Yeah, do it through peace through strength.
You know, I just saw something where I was the only president for 78 years, no war started.
Now I wiped out ISIS.
You know, I did a thing that was... I won't go into names, I won't go into specifics, but we did a thing that nobody thought was possible.
Did it very quickly.
I withdrew from Syria.
I withdrew from Iraq.
I withdrew.
They want to put people back.
We're in countries that don't even want us.
We're with countries that a lot of you never even heard the names of these countries.
You know, there's a great leader, in my opinion, he's very strong.
Some people say it's terrible to say that, but he is.
Viktor Orban, he's the prime minister of Hungary.
And they asked him, what would you do?
There are wars all over the world right now.
He said, what I do is make sure the American people vote for Donald Trump for president, because when he was president, China feared him.
I don't want to be feared.
But he used the term.
I'm not using the term.
President Xi is a very tough cookie.
But I think they did fear us.
China feared him.
Russia feared him.
Everybody.
I even got along with Kim Jong Un.
You know, getting along With people with hundreds of nuclear weapons, it's not a bad thing.
You know, they want to make it like a bad thing.
It's a very good thing.
But peace through strength.
They didn't want to mess around.
It would have never happened in Ukraine.
Russia would have never gone in.
Would have never happened, the recent attack on Israel.
Would have never happened.
A hundred, I mean, zero percent chance that was going to happen.
Prepared.
And I rebuilt our entire military.
And think of it, Biden gave $85 billion worth of our military to Afghanistan so stupidly.
Brand new tanks and planes and everything.
700,000 rifles and guns.
70,000 vehicles, many of them armor-plated vehicles.
And by the way, people died.
13 great soldiers died.
I've gotten to know the families very well.
Many horribly hurt.
And hundreds of people killed when you include both.
Hundreds of people killed in the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
So I really appreciate the question.
And I appreciate very much that you're with me.
And I'm with you, too.
unidentified
Thank you.
So, from the other side of the party, there are many like Governor Haley who said that you are now more of an isolationist than you were.
And that you got many concessions from NATO members as president to increase their defense budget.
donald j trump
Hundreds of billions of dollars.
unidentified
But there's a real concern what a second Trump term would mean.
Would you be committed to NATO, for example, in a second Trump term?
donald j trump
Depends if they treat us properly.
Look, NATO is taking advantage of our country.
The European countries took advantage of us.
I want to use a word starting with an S, but I don't want to do it, because I see some young, very good-looking children in the audience, and I assume they're watching on television.
But they took advantage of us on trade, and then they took advantage of us on our military protection.
Of the 28 countries at the time, only 8 countries were paid up.
We were paying the difference.
And I went to him and I said, if you don't pay, we're not going to protect you.
And they said, do you mean that?
I said, I mean that.
And the next day, billions of dollars poured into NATO.
The reason they have money right now to prosecute what they're doing with helping Ukraine is because of the money I got them.
So, you know, peace through strength.
unidentified
Mr. President, we appreciate your time.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Good to have you with us tonight.
Thank you.
So we're going to be right back with just a quick final segment right after this timeout.

We hope you enjoyed the past three nights with the candidates as the former president works the crowd here, signing some hats.
We also want to thank all the voters who attended our three town halls.
They braved the elements.
There are some elements out there.
And asked some really important questions that are really top issues.

We did end up watching much of this because this just sucks by comparison.
ron desantis
Like, compare and contrast.
Trump is so real.
He's just a real guy.
He's just like us.
He's a real human being.
Maybe a puddle there.

So we're going to reduce the size of government.
nick fuentes

Trump is so real.
He's just a real guy.

These people are not real.
They're fake corporate puppets.

Trump just is.
Trump just exudes greatness and excellence and power and strength and pride.
That's why we love him.
That's why we want him to be emperor for life.
Dictator for life of the United States because he's a rightful king.
