    "subtitles": "Welcome back to Special Report in Abu Dhabi, the UAE with President Donald J. Trump. Putin doesn't go to Turkey. You thought about going if he was going. Well, I had a problem. I mean, I consider the Middle East very important and I had a problem because Thursday I was going to be UAE. Okay. and which is where I am now. We're going to be leaving in a few hours and I have another couple of stops. It's a pretty grueling schedule. A lot of people said, \"How the hell do you do it?\" By the way, how the hell do you do it? Uh, I don't know. I think it's genetics. It's good genetics. I had a father who was very strong and I had a mother who was very strong. They lived to ripe old ages and they were great people. And it's meeting after meeting. And not only that, it's speech after speech. It's not like big one. It's like last night, um, if you look, he got up, made a beautiful speech. Muhammad, he got up and made a beautiful speech. I wasn't told I even had a speech to make. So, I had to make a speech off the cuff. Do you think Biden could do that? I don't think so. Actually, it was a pretty good speech till I looked at it. It was pretty good. I didn't know I was doing it. So, but you know, it's meeting after meeting with the highest level people. These are great people. They love us again. They were not feeling love at all. They were going to China. They're not going to China anymore. You were going to go to Turkey. Putin doesn't show. Zalinsky shows. No, no, I was never scheduled to go. No, you weren't scheduled. But you were talking about maybe you would go if it all came together. But I tell you what, so what do you think? I would not have wanted to disappoint UAE because that was my big deal. And if I went to Turkey, I couldn't go here. And it would have been um it would have been very hard for me to say I'm not doing it. On the substance, what do you think's going through Putin's mind? You know, you said get to the table. You said stop bombing. He hasn't stopped bombing. He's not at the table. And what do you think is happening? Well, he is at the table and he wanted this meeting and I always felt there can't be a meeting without me because I don't think a deal is going to get through. There's a lot of hatred on both sides. Uh, I have a very good relationship with Putin. I think we'll make a deal. We have to get together and I think we'll probably schedule it up because I'm tired of having other people go and meet and everything else. And with that being said, I think Steve Woodco has done an incredible job. But it's a very tough job and it's a it's a job that uh because of position that I think I'm the only one that's going to be able to do that one. And we'll I think we'll do it fast, too. I think Putin is tired of this whole thing. He's not and he's not looking good and he wants to look good. Don't forget this was supposed to end in one week. And if he didn't get stuck in the mud with his army tanks all over the place, they would have been in Kiev in about 5 hours. And who gave the javelins? Do you remember who gave the javelins or was it Barack Hussein Obama? No, it was Donald Trump gave the javelins. Do you think your your perception of it has changed? Is Putin now the obstacle to peace in your mind? Um, look, I had a real rough session with Zalinsky because I didn't like what he said and he was not making it easy. And I always said he doesn't have the cards and he doesn't have the cards. And you know, I'm being honest. He doesn't have the cards. You're dealing with a massive army and you're dealing with somebody that's brave that had great equipment. But I' I haven't seen you get personal on True Social. You said, \"Vladimir, stop.\" He hasn't stopped. And you had once said that maybe you need to look at other things like sanctions or banking. Um because maybe they need to be pressured in a different way that if you think I don't want to see 5,000 people, you know, outside of the money, which is a big deal, but the money is the money. The money we can make up. I can make up the money on one trip like this. Okay? I mean, think of it. This trip, I made 12 times the money that we're talking about. I made that money in a few days. I've always been good with money. It's not about the money. It's about pressuring Putin, right? I mean, no, no, but I've always been good with money. I make money. I made in four days. I made 12 times what we spent in Ukraine. So, the money is the money. What what bothered me, I hated to see the way it was, you know, excuse me, pissed away. I hated to see that checks were said for 60 billion dollars. Every time Zalinsky, I think he's the greatest salesman in the world. Far better than me. Zalinski, he comes to Washington, he walks out with a hundred billion every time he came. 100 billion, 100 billion. Now his abilities were shrinking because the last time he only got 60 billion. But Congress is very upset about it. You know, they're saying, \"Where is all this money going?\" But I'm focused on We sent checks. We don't only send, we sent just checks. We sent just cash. Where is it? The Europeans have been very badly hurt by this. They spent a lot of money. Also, they spent a hundred billion. We spent 350. It shouldn't be that. It should have been the other way around. But, but they have not been treated wait. They have not been treated right by anybody. This is a war that they're, you know, spending a lot of money on. We've been treated worse than them because we had a a very stupid person as a president. And if I can solve that problem and it's a bad problem because I will tell you Putin it was the apple of his eye. He never would have done it if I were president. Never ever would have done it 100%. I think you even most people actually even Democrats say that it wouldn't have happened. But we inherited a mess. Okay. I think it's going to get solved. But you know that Putin wanted the whole thing. He didn't want he didn't want a peace. He didn't want a chunk. He wanted the whole thing. Somebody said, \"Well, what do we get out of it in terms of let's say Ukraine, right? They you know what they get out of it? A a large portion of the country.\" I It's just there's Senator Lindsey Graham has 73 co-sponsors on this bill to sanction Russian oil and anybody who buys Russian oil. He's making the pitch for the bill saying, \"Why should China get the benefit of cheap oil from Russia as as Putin continues the war?\" At some point there has to be leverage on Putin. And I assume that you've talked about that. Nobody uses leverage better than me. Look what I did to Iran. Look what So it's changing. It's not changing. I always had that. I would I will use that if I have to. I'd rather not use that. That's a By the way, that's a big deal. I just put it on Venezuela. It's secondary sanctions it's called. And I just did it with Venezuela. And you could do it with Iran, too. I just did it with Iran. It's basically if you buy oil from Iran, you can't do business with the United States. And you see the ships just leaving that port. You know, in Venezuela, it was an amazing Chinese with Russia. You had to see the Well, I will if I don't I honest I will if we're not going to make a deal. We're going to see whether or not this is Turkey time. You know, this is now we're talking Turkey and we'll see what happens. That would be crushing for Russia because they're having a hard time now with the economy. oil prices are low. You know, it would change the dynamic. Okay. So, but he's incompetent. He doesn't want to see the war because, you know, it's he he everything he said was wrong. The way he talked about Putin, the way he said the threats, I mean, you said give it give it's just wrong. But here's what was really wrong. He let oil go from $65 to $100 a barrel. Putin was making a fortune. Now I have oil down. So it's nobody's making a fortune anymore and it's going to go down further because I'm drill baby drill. You know, he closed up everything and then he opened it. You know what people don't realize? They said, \"Oh no, he's using he closed it up and it drove oil through the roof and then he said, \"Go back to Trump. Go back to Trump.\" In other words, go back to what I was doing. And he didn't, but they did to a large extent. He didn't go all the way. And I would have been double that by that time. But he didn't go all the way. And what happened? He forced the prices up, the oil prices up. And that Putin made a fortune during that period of time. Yeah. Did you see this thing with the former FBI director James Comey? I did. I just saw it on the news. You know, he puts up this post showing 8647 in the sand saying cool shell formation on a beachwalk. Your director of national intelligence was asked about it last night and she said this. Whatever James Comey intent, he and people like him need to be held to account uh uh according to the law, which is something that he claims to have given his life for and stands by the rule of law. Fantastic. The rule of law says people like him who issued direct threats against the president of the United States, essentially issuing a call to assassinate him must be held accountable under the law. Do you believe Comey should be in jail? I do. Do you? So, I saw that this morning. You know, there's a big time gap and he knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant. If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant, that meant assassination. And it says it loud and clear. Now, he wasn't very competent, but he was competent enough to know what that meant. And he did it for a reason. And he was hit so hard because people like me. They like what's happening with our country. Our country's become respected again and all this. And he's calling for the assassination of the president. Obviously, he apologized and said he doesn't for violence. But look, he's a very big What do you want to see happen? What do you want to see happen? Uh I don't want to take a position on it because that's going to be up to Pam and all of the great people. I have Cash. I have Pam. I have great people. Uh, and I'm going to let them because if I if I tell you something, they'll say, \"Oh, I'm not going to get involved.\" But I will say this, I think it's a terrible thing. And when you add his history to that, if he had a clean history, he doesn't. He's a dirty cup. He's a dirty cup. And if he had a clean history, I could I could understand if there was a leniency, but I'm going to let them make that decision. He knew he knew exactly what it said. It's a dangerous time. It's I I see security around here. It's very tight. You're in the Middle East. You've had two assassination attempts. One obviously where you got hit by that bullet in Butler. There's a lot of frustration that we still don't know about that shooter in Butler and we don't know about his communications. We get stonewalled all the time asking questions about it. Is there frustration on your part? Do we will we get transparency? Will we know the bottom line story? It's very interesting because we have great people. I think Pam is incredible. I think Cash is incredible. And they're doing a great job. They're being recognized as doing a great job. Um, I was given an explanation early on, you know, sort of a little bit pre them and I thought it was strange. You know, the one guy had 18 cell phones. Okay, I have a lot of cell phones, but I have like two, you know, I call that a lot and I think I probably make more calls than him. It's like that's all I do. And I had two. Why does somebody have 18? Another one, the first one, one from Butler, he had three apps, very unusual apps, and two of them were foreign apps. And then he ends up with a a white shoe lawyer, meaning a super lawyer from Pittsburgh, you know, the big city, and they live outside a Butler in a little place. Where did they get this lawyer that would represent IBM and would represent um Exxon Mobile? Well, you're the president. No, no. I I know. I know. I know. Uh I'm relying on my people to tell me what it is. You know, we have deepseated craziness in this country and I'm relying on my people and so far they and they're good, but so far they and in this case it's Secret Service. They tell me it's fine, but it's a little hard to believe to be honest with you. Okay. It's a little bit hard to believe as I get that throbbing feeling. Yeah. I get a little throbbing feeling. If you if you find out, we'd love to know. We continue to ask. And a lot of people ask us. It's a little bit It's a little bit strange. We have incredible people in there now. So, can't blame them. Well, you've been very generous with your time. I'll just wrap it up with this. This is in the minds of Democrats, Republicans, a very successful trip big picture because it's this way. Do you want to do more foreign policy trips? Do you want to go talk to China's Xi Jinping? I mean, you're a force of personality as far as getting things done on a business front. Do you think that that's the model that you're going to have going forward? Yeah. So, well, it's it's a very hard model. It's it's a very uh taxing model, you know, when you do this. So you when you say do you want is it fun? Yeah. Uh now I did say I was standing next to all three of them over the last few days and you know with tremendous fanfare and everyone going crazy and everything else. It's at a level that nobody's ever seen before. Honestly, nobody's I'm getting calls back in the United States. We've never seen anything like this. It's so good for our country. So I'll do it again and I'll do it and yeah I would certainly China where it's important that's diff that's important in a different way. Uh this was very important to keep uh in our fold and you know it's just they're in our fold. They they uh are back loving the United States again. That was a full embrace and nobody's ever seen anything like it. I mean seriously I asked have you ever done this before? Last night, two nights ago, I said, \"Have you ever done anything for an No. Would you?\" No. Not even close. You know, with the hundreds of camels and the horses and this, it was beautiful. I mean, all three. All three. If you said which was the best, I couldn't tell you. And they were different. They were all at the top level. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. It was an honor. But that really to me it showed love. It showed you know there's a love. It's almost like they were shut out for a long time. Just shut out and treated horribly and they shouldn't have been. And all of a sudden they were allowed back in and they give you an embrace that's 20 times what it perhaps should be. I mean it was just a beautiful thing to see. So we're in great shape. The Middle East is great. Now we have one problem in the Middle East, Iran. And I'll get that problem solved. It's going to get solved one way the other. as Israel that's eventually that's a big problem I think Iran is right now the big problem that's also a problem is big and we want to take care of the people look people are starving you know you see what's going on right now people are starving one of the things that one of the three great leaders that I saw saw two nights ago said to me uh please help the people the Palestinians I said, \"Other than the obvious, what do you mean by that?\" He said, \"They're starving.\" And he meant it with his heart. They're starving. So, I've already started working on that. It's a deep problem, but we'll get it solved. And uh a very immediate and a very big problem is, you know, I'm so proud of what we were able to do with India and with Pakistan. Well, it's a potential problem like that that we have here. Uh, I'll get it solved and one way or the other I'll get it solved. It's either going to be done nicely or it's going to be done violently. And I I 99.9% want to do it nicely if we can. Well, Mr. President, we appreciate the time. Safe travels home. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you, Brett. Good job.
