Channel: Fox News
[2]
well let's get straight to it let's
[3]
bring in the 45th president of the
[5]
united states
[6]
donald trump mr president thank you so
[8]
much for joining uh fox and friends
[10]
weekend
[12]
well thank you it's an honor
[14]
and we have a lot of problems in this
[15]
country but it's an honor to be with you
[18]
well we're grateful to have you sir uh
[20]
well let's start with with the headline
[21]
we've had all morning long uh you know
[23]
what's happening in russia what's
[24]
happening in ukraine the white house
[26]
right now is saying an attack could
[27]
happen at any time on your assessment
[30]
where are we and and how did we get here
[34]
well first of all it's shocking because
[36]
this should have never happened that
[38]
should have never happened it would not
[39]
have happened
[40]
and how we got here is uh when they
[43]
watched
[44]
afghanistan and they watched the most
[47]
incompetent withdrawal in the history of
[49]
probably any army let alone just us
[53]
they saw that and
[55]
president xi and president putin watch
[57]
what happens with china versus
[59]
but uh with taiwan but they watched that
[62]
and they said uh
[64]
what's going on they don't know what
[66]
they're doing
[67]
and all of a sudden i think they got a
[69]
lot more more ambitious i think putin
[71]
really wanted to negotiate for a period
[73]
of time i think when he watched
[75]
afghanistan when he watched that
[77]
unbelievably bad withdrawal incompetent
[80]
where they took the military out first
[81]
where they left
[82]
85 billion dollars worth of equipment
[85]
behind for the taliban to have and to
[87]
sell it to use
[89]
and
[89]
of course the death the death that
[91]
happened when they watched all of that i
[93]
think they got emboldened
[96]
president trump joe biden is scheduled
[98]
to be on a call today with vladimir
[100]
putin
[101]
what do you think he can say what should
[104]
he say if you were in office today what
[106]
would you say to vladimir putin
[109]
well i wouldn't be in this position
[111]
because we're in a very bad position
[112]
right now and it would have as i said it
[114]
would never have happened i know him
[116]
very well got along with him very well i
[119]
stopped his pipeline i sanctioned them
[121]
more than anybody ever saying to them
[123]
nobody was ever tougher in russia but i
[125]
got along with putin very well we
[127]
respected each other
[129]
i think you have a whole different ball
[131]
game right now this is just an exercise
[133]
he's not going to tell him anything and
[135]
i don't think putin's at this point
[136]
going to be listening
[138]
it's going to be very interesting to see
[140]
what he does in terms of the
[142]
the depth
[143]
will he take a small piece
[146]
when biden originally said that he's
[148]
going in everybody was like did he just
[150]
say that nobody could believe it but he
[152]
said it and it was almost like a card
[156]
ukraine went crazy when he when he saw
[158]
that when they heard that the president
[160]
but
[161]
now the phone call i think is
[164]
perfunctory i don't think much is going
[166]
to come out of it
[167]
yes sir republicans have introduced a
[169]
bill that would block aid to ukraine uh
[173]
until our southern border is secure the
[175]
thinking is why would we be worried
[176]
about a border in europe when there is a
[179]
disaster happening right here at home do
[182]
you think that those two issues should
[184]
be linked
[187]
well i certainly understand how people
[189]
feel we had the strongest border we've
[191]
ever had our southern border we were
[193]
three weeks away from finishing the wall
[195]
after going through two and a half years
[196]
of lawsuits with the democrats and
[198]
winning the ball
[199]
we were two and a half three weeks away
[201]
from think of it finishing the wall
[204]
which is largely frankly finished anyway
[206]
it's a tremendous help we had the best
[208]
numbers in the history of
[211]
our country on the southern border very
[213]
little was coming in very few people
[214]
were coming in other than coming in
[216]
illegally we had the lowest drug numbers
[219]
the best drug numbers in the last 32
[221]
years
[222]
and they were getting much better
[224]
rapidly and all of a sudden
[226]
[Music]
[227]
this guy takes over and the border is
[229]
open that we have millions of people i
[232]
think it's 10 million they say 3 million
[234]
but people coming in countries all over
[237]
the world are releasing their
[239]
prisoners into our country were like a
[240]
dumping ground so i can certainly
[243]
understand how people feel when they say
[245]
uh you know let's try and tie one to the
[247]
other you know we fight for other
[249]
people's borders but we don't fight for
[251]
our own border we're the strongest the
[253]
most secure border we've ever had
[255]
at the south and uh
[257]
and mexico was uh was great to me he
[261]
helped us it gave us 28 000 soldiers
[264]
free of charge because otherwise we
[266]
would have as you know tariffed all of
[268]
their cars and things coming in and we
[270]
got along great with mexico we had the
[272]
mexico stay in mexico policy now it's
[275]
called stay in the united states
[277]
whoever you are just come on in
[279]
uh no it's uh it's a very terrible
[282]
thing and i i must tell you i do
[284]
understand how they feel when we're
[286]
fighting for other countries but we're
[287]
not fighting for our own
[289]
yeah mr president not only fighting for
[291]
our own we're facilitating that
[293]
transportation with secret flights in
[294]
the middle of the night things uh you
[296]
you've heard about as well but i want to
[297]
go to our other border if we can mr
[299]
president and the idea of of truckers
[302]
and the trucker freedom convoy that's
[304]
happening there not just in ottawa but
[305]
now on trade routes along the canadian
[307]
border
[308]
you've heard what you know you call them
[310]
justin from canada what justin trudeau
[312]
has said about them he's characterized
[314]
them as as as racist as as bigots um but
[317]
their message has been clear from the
[319]
beginning mr president the list of their
[320]
demands has been terminate vaccine
[323]
passports terminate vaccine mandates and
[326]
stop the divisive rhetoric they've been
[327]
straightforward they want freedom what's
[330]
your message to both the freedom convoy
[332]
and justin trudeau
[335]
people all over the world are watching
[337]
and their respect for what they're doing
[339]
they're tired of being pushed around by
[341]
incompetent people
[343]
being told what to do being forced with
[346]
the mandates the mandate should have not
[347]
happened i mean i'm very proud of warf's
[350]
feet everybody has given us credit
[352]
nobody thought it was possible to do
[353]
what we did and that includes
[355]
therapeutics by the way regeneron and
[357]
the various therapeutics that work so
[360]
well but what we did with warp speed was
[362]
great but the mandates are very very bad
[365]
very very bad
[366]
and
[367]
i think there's a lot of respect
[370]
for what they're doing i see they have
[371]
trump signs all over the place and i'm
[373]
proud that they do
[375]
but that's what happens you can push
[377]
people so far and our country is a
[379]
tinderbox too don't kid yourself and uh
[382]
there are plenty of our country up there
[384]
right now folks the uh when you look at
[386]
what's happening when you look at what's
[388]
happening in canada our country i think
[391]
is far more of a tinderbox than canada
[394]
president trump we're watching blue
[396]
states begin the process of loosening
[398]
restrictions across the country
[400]
in my one chance to interview in the
[402]
past president trump i asked you about
[404]
dr fauci you were at the front end on so
[407]
many things
[408]
as we panicked as a nation you talked
[410]
about balancing the shutdowns against
[412]
our economy and i asked you at that time
[414]
about dr fauci and the way the public
[416]
viewed him and you were beginning at
[417]
that time to express some skepticism i'm
[420]
curious and i'm not trying to give you
[422]
the answer ahead of time but i'm curious
[424]
if you look back on the past two years
[426]
some of which was under your watch when
[428]
it comes to covid what would you have
[430]
done what would you do differently if
[432]
put in the same position with with
[434]
perfect hindsight what if anything would
[436]
you do differently
[438]
well we haven't been given credit
[441]
but we're starting to get credit warp
[443]
speed was phenomenal uh i closed up the
[446]
country to china i closed up the country
[448]
to europe that was incredible and i
[451]
filled the shelves i filled up the
[453]
covers of the states which they were
[455]
unable to do themselves you had some
[457]
very confident governors and you had
[458]
some very incompetent governors but you
[461]
know i went around with the cupboards
[463]
were bare
[464]
and they were as far as fouchy's and
[466]
that was a big thing the ventilators
[468]
that all of the equipment and all of the
[470]
things that we're able to get from
[472]
goggles to
[474]
clothing and the plastics and we
[477]
we did an amazing job got no credit for
[479]
it but everything is stocked and right
[482]
now the whole country is stuck
[484]
for something like this we the country
[487]
and this is long before i got there was
[489]
not prepared fauci however was not a big
[491]
factor with me uh he is a big factor now
[494]
because biden chose to make up such but
[497]
he was not a big factor with me he said
[500]
he didn't want to close to as you know
[502]
very strongly as we talked about this
[504]
he didn't want to close up to china
[506]
which was heavily infected he didn't
[507]
want to close up to europe which was
[510]
heavily infected four months later he
[512]
said that president trump made a great
[514]
decision and saved perhaps hundreds of
[516]
thousands of lives because i was really
[519]
a single vote i had 21 people in a room
[522]
and none of them wanted to close it down
[524]
but i did because i saw what was
[526]
happening in china and in europe
[528]
fauci did not play as big a role with me
[530]
played actually a a pretty light roll
[534]
and if you also noticed oftentimes when
[537]
he would say something i'd do the
[539]
opposite which tended to be pretty good
[541]
you know he came out against masks and
[543]
then he became a radical master he was a
[546]
radical you know wherefore if you could
[548]
but at the very beginning if you look
[550]
back early on he was against masks i
[552]
mean he uh
[553]
he had some very different views
[556]
but he was not a big factor with me i
[558]
didn't get to see him too much i didn't
[560]
deal with him too much i made my own
[562]
decisions and they were great decisions
[563]
and i let the states run so whether it's
[567]
florida texas
[569]
south dakota if you take a look at some
[571]
of the
[572]
states south carolina they did a
[575]
terrific job the governor did a terrific
[577]
job
[578]
but i let the states run and make those
[581]
decisions and frankly the republican
[583]
governors did a far better job than the
[586]
democrat governors but foundche was not
[588]
a big factor
[589]
as far as
[590]
i was concerned he became a very big
[593]
factor once biden came in and then it's
[595]
almost like he couldn't make a move
[597]
without asking fouch well mr president
[599]
over the past week something very
[601]
interesting has happened several
[603]
democratic governors have dropped mass
[606]
mandates or at least pulled back on mass
[608]
mandates and there's this clip that's
[610]
going viral it took place at a las vegas
[613]
school children so excited that they
[616]
don't have to wear their masks to school
[618]
the next day take a listen to what that
[620]
sounded like watch this
[622]
starting tomorrow we don't have to wear
[624]
masks anymore
[626]
[Applause]
[633]
[Applause]
[633]
[Music]
[640]
you know i think that would put a smile
[641]
on anybody's face but juxtapose that to
[644]
what president biden said about easing
[646]
mask restrictions he said it's premature
[649]
the cdc also said that now is not the
[652]
time if now's not the time
[655]
when is
[657]
well first of all that's adorable it
[659]
should have happened a long time ago
[661]
and everybody says that the mask for the
[664]
new variant at least
[666]
is
[667]
virtually ineffective i mean totally
[669]
ineffective so i don't know what they're
[671]
doing and why they're doing it but
[674]
they've come out and said that the mask
[676]
has almost no impact especially on the
[678]
new variant and
[681]
i i just don't it's inconceivable
[684]
what's going on but a lot of the states
[686]
are opening up but i think politically
[688]
it would be unacceptable that just not
[690]
going to be able to hang out
[691]
too much longer it's ridiculous but
[694]
you know that clip is so beautiful to
[695]
watch but it just happened a long time
[697]
ago yeah
