anyway we'll keep scrolling that joining us now though for the hour is former president Donald Trump is with us sir thank you for being with us than you on the day you came down the escalator this was a big issue yeah you were attacked all right out of the box yeah you know that day when you came down that escalator on this issue well I was hearing about it from a lot of people and it was one of the primary reasons in 2016 that I ran and I ran on the border and I ran on other things but I ran on
the border largely and uh we fixed the problem and in 2020 it wasn't even a subject I'd go out I'd say I want to talk about the Border they'd say sir you fix the Border nobody cares about the Border anymore now what's happened is since uh the election where we got millions more votes than we did the first time we have a situation where this border makes 2016 look like baby stuff it's probably the worst border not probably it's the worst border ever in the history of the world there's never been
a border where 15 16 maybe 18 million people have already crossed and I think nobody has any idea what the number is you know the Goda ways they don't know what the Goda ways are we have millions and millions of people and they come from jails and prisons they come from uh mental institutions and you know A step above that the asan asylums and you you just it's just hard to believe and you have terrorists coming you know I I've noticed uh as somebody that watches your show a lot I think you're
I think you do a fantastic job but you say 100% certain I hate to hear it that we're going to have a big attack at some point that you're 100% I pray that I'm wrong yeah you're probably right and that's a very sad thing but I've heard you say it a few times that I said I'm not going to dispute it I hope you're wrong but there's a certainly a good chance they're coming from numbers and countries that we wouldn't believe so you have 28,000 from China all fighting age you don't see women and you do
n't see men much older than that it's from 18 to 25 26 years old and there's something going on and they're coming from Yemen that we're bombing they're coming from the Congo from from prisons in the Congo the only good thing is it makes our prisoners look like very nice people I'll tell you because these are rough people that are coming in when you see them from Venezuela fighting having fist fights with the cops we never saw that you'd see cops be a lot of bad things happen to cops but you nev
er saw people standing in the middle of a street with in a fist fight and if that happened in their country they'd kill them within seconds they wouldn't allow it they wouldn't stand for it so it's a very terrible thing what's our country is being poison we're really being poisoned and it's hard to believe you know as a business guy you always want to understand the other side I want to understand what is the other side thinking even if you disagree I don't know what they're thinking because who
can want this who can want millions of people from lots of bad places pouring into our country and you're right we have not seen this is just the beginning you know we we're just starting to see I call it migrant crime I really call it Biden migrant crime but it's too long so let's just call it migrant crime and everyone's going to know it's speak because of Biden but we've never had anything like this we have an inflow of people at numbers that are unbelievable and you go back to New York and
you see hundreds of thousands of people and you can see look the mayor is trying he wants to do a job but it's just it's impossible well he made the city Sanctuary they they made New York City a sanctuary City I want to go back to what you referred to what I've been saying because I point out we'll put it up on the screen uh the numbers of people coming from Iran the number one state sponsor of Terror y there satellite Syria you have the home of the Muslim Brotherhood Egypt thousands came coming
from Egypt that we know of thousands coming from Afghanistan now Al-Qaeda has training camps up again then you know over 10 12 14,000 from Russia and I read recently over 37,000 recently from China now why would they make that long journey to our Southern border and my fear is that we are we have in this country because these illegals are not vetted I fear that terrorist cells have set up in this country that will plot plan scheme the next 911 or worse I pray to God as I said I'm wrong I don't
think I'm wrong Mr President well China has it as of today 29,000 young men for the most part uh in our country for the last three or four months and there's something going on look there's something going on now hopefully we don't have that problem with China I always had a good relationship with China until the covid came in that was a step too far that we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China no president took in 10 cents not 10 cents and we uh you know we still got along with th
em but when you look at this and when you look at other countries we have a lot coming in from Iran we have a lot coming in from you know places that we're fighting right now you know here go the bombs you don't have to have bombs we had no war as the first one 78 years we had no war other than I defeated Isis we knocked out Isis we took out the leading terrorists in the world both of them took them out gone and now baghdaddy solomani the leader of Al Al baghdaddy and solomani the worst in the w
orld worst in the world and uh you look at it and you look at what's going on with our country I tell you you come to Texas this is now a war zone and they view it as a war zone and Mexico is doing nothing to help us they're letting the Caravans come unimpeded I mean they come in by the thousands you have Caravans with 25,000 people in them just walking into our country so something has to be done the problem you have is Arizona you have a governor very liberal Governor that a lot of people say
shouldn't be the governor and in uh California dome's doing a terrible job he's doing I mean other than talking about how wonderful it is that's about it you have an outflow of people as you know better than anybody I saw your show with him I said you know this guy's talking about California millions of people are coming in through California free healthcare free healthcare free education free everything yeah and you go to jail they let you out they don't turn you over to ice but not for our vet
erans for our veterans they get nothing and for people that have been there for a long time and deserve something citizens they get nothing but they give free health care if you come in illegally into our country you get things and this is why they're coming the incentive is so great our top geopolitical foe I would argue is China uh Russia's not far behind Iran's not far behind your friend little rocket man you got to keep an eye on him but China's been allowed Chinese Nationals have been buyin
g up thousands and thousands of Acres of Farmland Ranch Land and land near our military installations now you know president XI if you called him and said I I I know somebody Sean Hannity would like to buy land farmland and Ranch Land in China you think he'd allow me no I don't think so they they don't allow that and they're they're very possessive of their country they're very possessive of uh staying sharp and bright and frankly coming into this country and buying a lot and you could take it a
step further United States Steel and I'm not trying to equate Japan with China but it's all still it's outside and they're coming in Japan is buying us steel us steel used to be the greatest company in the world now it's a long time ago but I don't like that I don't like seeing that and part of the reason is because other countries in particular China they dump steel into the United States I had that problem taken care of largely because I put big tariffs on the dump steel and I saved the steel
industry but now they're letting it go and you know you're not going to have a steel you want to buy you want to build an army tank and you're fighting China you're going to have to get the steel from China and it's a I think it's a very dangerous position I don't think our country just overall I don't think our country has ever been in a dangerous position like it is right now when you look at what's happened with all of this stuff that we're talking about tonight but beyond that just this tot
al incompetence and it began to to a large extent with the election but it began with Afghanistan when we showed that weakness and that stupidity taking the military out first leaving $85 billion worth of equipment behind 13 soldiers killed nobody ever talks about the 38 that were obliterated they lost their arms their legs just obliterated and we left a lot of Americans behind you used to cover that actually you used to give it a countdown how many days I think you sto doing it it's so long now
but it's horrible you have Americans over there that I gu you could call them hostages in a sense but they are over there they trap Behind Enemy Lines it's a horrible thing that happened so our country and you have Iran getting close to building a nuclear having a nuclear weapon possibly 35 days a ea I'm not a fan of the UN but they said that they think they now have weapons grade yeah material to build weapons would have never happened Iran was broke I didn't let China I told China you're not
going to buy or you're not going to do business in the United States if you you buy no business in the United States I told that to many countries nobody bought oil from Iran it's all about the oil nobody bought oil from Iran and they were broke they were acknowledged to be broke they had no money for Hamas they had no money for Hezbollah now they have $231 billion doll $231 billion that they made over the last three years and Joe is helping to make the Iranian mows Rich again well they they' be
come very rich 10 million the 10 billion that he allowed from Iraq laugh at him they laugh at him they think he's the worst look he's the worst president in the history of our country Jimmy Carter is a very happy man now because his presidency is brilliant by comparison to Joe Biden brilliant let me ask you this speaking speaking of your friend Joe um would have been nice if he came would sit with us um I'm not sure if he's capable of having a discussion like this uh I tend to doubt it I've cove
red that fairly extensively um he shows up today and he didn't really show up at one of the hot spots at the border no but for I I played that tape you know everybody has children and if the children they get children they're all going to get in trouble I don't care about what they did so much but if they lie to you they get in a whole lot of trouble right and they've been lying to the American people for three years I played that Montage the border is secure The Border's closed the border is se
cure borders closed no it wasn't you know our eyes were not lying to us we've been showing this video of these migrant Caravans for 3 years and now all of a sudden they have changed the narrative this is Republicans fault your reaction it's all disinformation uh Russia Russia Russia everything they do the democ and I guess you have to say they're Masters at it they'll say something a thousand The Bu The Border is great the border is closed and they'll say it a thousand different times and some p
eople are going to believe it I think that's probably the hardest thing that they've got to do because they have destroyed this border and they're in the proc process of destroying our country we're allowing people in our country that we shouldn't have in we are allowing an extraordinarily group tough group of people into our country when you have prisons and jails and mental institutions being emptied out not just in South America all over the world all over the world they're being emptied out
you can check your prison population throughout the world and it's all coming into our country and how can that be good and how can it be good politically Biden is here today I want to get your reaction to that and you just saw the other tape and the other tape showed but there there are so many of Trump's policies that we reversed I can't even list them it's so long I gave a short list and what is your reaction why do you think he's here today uh I don't think it's an accident and he had bragge
d about reversing the policies that you put in place uh what's your reaction well I know why is here because he found out that we were coming we were here look you and I made this agreement two weeks ago no actually a month and a half ago really that's interesting but we made it a while ago and the word got out and a couple of weeks ago it started getting out and then uh they found out for sure you put up the nice little picture on the right hand bottom corner of your television set that I was c
oming and all of a sudden they announced that they're coming but they went to the wrong area they went to an area that the governor and myself have done a good job on and there's essentially nobody coming through so you know you're not seeing it this area is tough so if you win in November the election's on November 5th about 249 days of if I'm right and on how do you reverse this nearly 10 million unvetted illegal immigrants we don't know where there are many are given court dates seven eight y
ears down the road they're never showing up for those court dates now You' have talked about deportation how do we identify them identify where they are find them and Deport them and is that your promise to the American people well absolutely and you have no choice because this is not sustainable the cities are going bad the cities the country the whole place is going bad you know every state is really a border state and I was talking to the governor before and he has done really a great job uh
Governor Ted Cruz wanted to be here but Chuck Schumer kept them back in DC probably for for a good reason right look we have to deport a lot of people and they have to start immediately people don't know that Dwight Eisenhower is a pretty tough president I never thought of it as that but 10 years ago you start reading and start really seeing and he was a big deporter and he would Deport tremendous numbers of people and they'd bring them just to the other side of the Border they'd come back he'd
bring them again they'd come back then he brought them 2,000 miles back and they didn't come back we have no choice and the way you do it is your local police we have the greatest police they don't get the respect that they have to get that they are treated soad badly they do something and they end up losing their pension even if it's a good thing uh if they stop crime nowadays they lose their pension their family their house and we're going to give immunity to police and we're going to let the
police do the job that they have to do I think it's very important they understand who these migrants are they know them by their first name their last name they know where they come from they know everything about it's going to be the local police are going to turn them over and we're going to have to move them back to their country when the FBI was the world's Premier law enforcement agenc and I I believe we will achieve that again hopefully hopefully um they had some of the top FBI officials
they have said what we are witnessing is an invasion of military AG men you asked the question you try to understand people that think differently than you for the life of me I can't come up with any rationale or reason for this so there's two things that you think of number one they maybe want the votes they think that they're going to get these people registered and to vote and everything give you citizenship I hope you remember at all sorts of things but I don't know I'm doing very well with
Hispanic and you have a lot of Hispanic coming but the fact is that you have two things either they're stupid right or they hate our country because it can only be basically one of those two things other than the voting element which I don't know I'm not so sure that they believe that so much I think it's down the road and although they are trying to register people right now as we speak which who have no idea what they're doing and may not know this in New York City for example uh local electio
ns illegal immigrants can vote we got to take a break we're just getting started we're at the border at Eagles Past hey Sean Hannity here hey click here to subscribe to Fox News YouTube page and catch our hottest interviews and most compelling analysis you will not get it anywhere else

TRUMP is 100 percent right! TRUMP 2024

@jessehall9447

The cognitive difference between Trump & Biden is unbelievable.

@warrenf5821

I never liked Trump… until now. Seriously, I have completely changed my mind on this guy. He’s the only one with a plan, and he literally could just do nothing and not bother with running for president again at all. He keeps fighting for us, and that’s something I respect! Biden played us for fools.

@Wishpool

As a Texan, I'm so thankful for President Trump & Gov. Abbott !!! ⭐ Biden is not welcome here! 🤬

@mariaaponte5824

Yes, Let’s close the borders 👏🏽 Trump 2024✊🏽

@theresagilliland159

There's an interview in the 90s with I believe it was Opra where Donald Trump was asked by her if he thought that he would ever run for President and he said something along the lines if America ever needed it he would. She went on saying how m uch good he would do. Have people forgot about this... And now the hate him...

@lorenamares1427

So glad I was able to attend his campaign rally in El Paso, TX! So many people came out. Pretty incredible. This businessman leader was so on spot and look what we got now! Clock's ticking. What happened to the Middle Easterner who told a reporter, "You're gonna find out soon who I am." No mincing words.
