  Campaign 2024 Pres. Trump on Ballot Eligibility Case  CSPAN  February 8, 2024 12:27pm-12:47pm EST

12:27 pm
this sounds like another witch hunt. but what is at risk for the future is that they would call this an insurrection. why would we call this? the freedom to bear arms. look, the people need to make a decision. we need to make a decision on who will be our next president. what does not kill you makes you stronger. this will make trump even stronger. his numbers will go up tomorrow.
12:28 pm
mr. trump: i just finished watching the supreme court. it is unfortunate that we have to go through anything like that. i consider it to be more election interference by the democrats. the good news is that we are leading and virtually every poll. i'm not even sure that we have a republican candidate running. we won iowa and new hampshire. we think we will do very well. i'm heading to nevada for the caucus. i think we will do very well there. we are in the 90's. we certainly did well in the primary. they voted very nicely and we have tremendous support from the people in our country.
12:29 pm
they hate what is happening at the border. they hate what is happening generally. we are laughed at all over the world. they hate seeing it. they love our country and they want us to come back. think about the results of the election. you would not have the situation with russia. he would not have had an attack on israel, he would not have inflation or any of the problems that we have today. they handle money to give. now they have 200 billion and as you know, people do not want to
12:30 pm
admit that they control iraq. a rich group of countries. we blew out the ballot and now -- that is the way it is. it is a shame. the world is in danger of world war iii. we have a man who is absolutely the worst president in the history of our country. he cannot put two sentences together and will not be able to negotiate with north korea or anybody. meaningless bombs kill a lot of people. they cost a lot of money. every time you see a bomb, it is another $1 million and it that's us back. peace through strength and it is not happening.
12:31 pm
the middle east is blowing up and a lot of people are being killed, and it is so unnecessary. in watching the supreme court today, i thought it was a very beautiful process. i looked at democracy in this country will continue. right now, we have a tough situation where all the radical left ideas with the weaponization of politics -- it is totally illegal, but they do it anyways. every single one, whether it is the attorney general or others, they had many meetings. now you are looking at it.
12:32 pm
hopefully that case will be dismissed in short order. but they are not supposed to do that. every of these cases comes out of the white house, it is election interference and it is really sad. i thought the presentation today was a good one. i think it was well received. i hope it was well received. millions of people are out there wanting to vote. they want to vote for me and the republican party, but i am the one that is running. we are leading in the local polls, the state polls and leading big in the national polls. it has been a great honor. we love the country. they loved four years of us in
12:33 pm
the three plus years they have had with biden. nobody has ever seen crime like this, like what is happening. a lot of migrants have come in illegally to our country. a lot of people come out of places that you do not want to know. they are being dumped into institutions and many terrorists are coming into our country. we will be paying a big price. the president can do it by saying, i want the border closed. we had the safest border in the history of our country and now we have the most unsafe order. not even a third world country. , so again, we are going out to
12:34 pm
nevada now. so hopefully we will have a big night. a big night and we expect to have a very big night in the -- the virgin islands are also very much in play. we will hear from them later on in the evening. it is an honor to have you at mar-a-lago. i hope you like it. it is worth $18 million. i said, which one are we talking about? that is the kind of justice that we have. that was a shame. but they gave up so much. 50 to 100 times that amount. who knows? maybe he will be fair. i doubt it, but maybe. but we proved that case five
12:35 pm
times over. it was 100 times proven. he just would not dismiss it. it should have been in the commercial division. but anyways, it is an honor to have you. i'll probably see you out in nevada. >> [indiscernible] mr. trump: i got the gist. he does not say that anymore. let me just tell you that i heard and i watched. they kept saying about what i said.
Check
12:36 pm
[indiscernible] this is an insurrection. so unnecessary, so sad and horrible take a look at my words. take a look at my speech from the rose garden. at that time, we were tweeting. i was on twitter. if you take a look, you will see very beautiful, very heartwarming statements. beautiful statements. if you see my statement made in the rose garden, you have to watch that.
12:37 pm
take at -- take a look at the words of democrats, take a look at what schumer said on the steps of the supreme court. he sounded like a mob boss. take a look at any of them. a vicious, violent statement made. think about the vicious statements that were made. i said peacefully and patriotically. it is peacefully and patriotically. it was the exact opposite. i think you should take a look at the statements that i made before and after, and he will see a whole different dialogue. >> [indiscernible] >> we want to bring business
12:38 pm
back to the u.s. levels that nobody has ever seen before. by doing that, we bring manufacturing back. i took in hundreds of billions of dollars from china. no president had ever taken in $.10. i took in hundreds of billions of dollars and jobs. i was saving steel companies and now they are blowing it. what a sad thing that is to me. what a sad thing that is. we want to bring jobs back. >> i think he is a very good man and i have confidence in him. >> how is nikki haley still in the race when you are dominating
12:39 pm
in the polls? mr. trump: i do not know why she continues, but she is. polls are indicating that we are through the roof. we are leading by 35 to 40%. i do not know. i think she hurts herself and the party. in a way, she hurts the country. but she did very poorly in iowa. she came in third place. ron desantis beat her. she did poorly in new hampshire and wherever she went. and in nevada, she lost by 40 points, so i do not know why she continues, but i do not really care. i think it is bad for the party.
12:40 pm
>> mr. president, thank you for having us. [indiscernible] mr. trump: i can say presidential immunity is what we will be talking about. it is very important. if a president does not have immunity, he does not really have a president z. he can do really bad things that country. presidential immunity is imperative. i would rather talk about that next. but there is nothing more important to a president z than immunity because they have to be free to make decisions without thinking, if i do this or that, as soon as i get out of office, we are going to be indicted and have trouble.
12:41 pm
the other party does that. we have seen that. you have an opposition party and they will do things that are very bad. you could be blackmailed. as the president, they will say, if you do not do this or this, we will indict you as soon as you are out of office. you cannot allow a president to be out there without immunity. you lose all form of free thought and good thought. you probably week in the president z. we will be talking about immunity in the coming weeks. >> [indiscernible] mr. trump: i am a believer in our country and the supreme court.
12:42 pm
i listened today and i thought it was very strong. an argument that was very important is that we are leading in every race and in every state , and the country against republican and democrat. leading in the country by a lot. i think that is pretty tough to do, but i will leave it up to the supreme court. thank you all very much. >> the former president donald trump reacting to the appeal heard by the supreme court a short time ago. dealing with whether colorado can decide if the former president is ineligible. cameras outside the core are waiting to hear from those who argued the appeal while the
