'On Point' with Gov. Sarah Palin & Donald Trump

Donald Trump gets 'On Point' with Gov. Sarah Palin on OANN

I don't like what
I see happening to America.

The infrastructure of our country
is a laughing stock all over the world.

Our airports, our bridges,
our roadways, it's falling apart.

It's a terrible thing to see.

Our politicians are all talk, no action.

Millions of people are flowing
across our southern border.

We've gotta build a real wall.

With all of this, our country
has tremendous potential.

Let's make America great again.

I've said it.

Since the day he made the sacrifice
to hit the campaign trail,

crave the anti status-quo politician.

They want results.

They need a fighter.

They need someone to fire all
those politically correct police.

And this is a movement.

The "Trumpeters" – Trumpservatives –
this is what these folks are called.

Everything about Donald Trump's campaign –

its avant-garde and he is
crushing it in the polls.

One America News, you viewers,
he's talking to you.

He wants to connect to those who
are gonna show up at the polls

and elect the leader of the free world.

So, Mr Trump,
had James Carville on yesterday.

Remember his "It's the economy's silly?"

The turbulent global economy
leads to daily volatility here,

and that affects the working class.

And I know that's where your heart is,
in this working class.

How is our economy really doing,
especially reacting to world markets?

Well, if you really look Sarah,
at the economy, it's been terrible.

We have ninety three million
people out of work.

They look for jobs, they give up,
and all of a sudden,

statistically they're considered employed.

Our economy is doing terribly.

We've lost tremendous amounts of jobs
to China, to Japan, to Mexico

and to so many other places.

And it's really very sad
when you look at what's happening.

We have taken away –

They've just destroyed our job base.

And we have to make a lot of improvement.

Yeah, and I don't think we're getting
the truth out of the White House.

The true state of the economy.

So thanks for setting that straight.

Bloomberg reports –
No, the White house is not truthful.

Bloomberg reports that you wouldn't
mind raising taxes on yourself.

And we know our current tax code –
it's it's a joke, and it's unjust.

And I wouldn't be offering to let
the IRS take more of my money.

But share what you mean by
fixing our screwed up tax code.

Well, we have a complex tax code

that nobody understands,
and people can't figure it out.

And they have to spend tremendous amounts
of money for lawyers and accountants.

And we have to simplify our tax code.

You have hedge fund guys that
are paying virtually no tax

and they're making a fortune.

And we have to change our tax code.

There is no question about it.

And I say simplification.

Now you can go to a
fair tax or a flat tax.

But the easiest way and the quickest way,
at least on a temporary basis,

is simplification of the code.

Get rid of deductions, reduce taxes,
but some of these people,

like some of these hedge fund guys,

they're making a lot of money
and they're paying very little tax.

It's unfair to the middle class.

We have to create a new – I mean –
we have to help the middle class.

The country, as you know
better than anybody,

the country was based on the middle class.

They're the ones that really had
so much to do with what we all have now.

And they are being treated horribly.

You know, I wanna talk about
the campaign then – about that middle class

that you're really resonating with.

Your message about fairness –
just jobs being created in a better economy.

On the campaign trail, specifically,
I know a lot of military folks,

and I saw a guy walk behind you, Mr. Trump,
with the army t-shirt on, and it reminded

me,

hearing from so many military personnel,
everyday, personally,

it's lately been all about you.

It's a connection there that
I'd like to know more about –

the respect that they have for a truth talker
as opposed to just getting punched in the

nose

the last seven years under Obama.

How is it that you made that connection?

Well, you're one of the people
that would know because you have

that connection also, Sarah.

One of the reasons I've always liked you
so much, you and your family,

you have that great connection.

And it's really pretty simple.

You know, you look at what's happening
with the vets, they're being treated

like third-class citizens.

We have tremendous amounts of money
going toward the vets,

but we have incompetent management,
incompetent leadership.

And, you know, as of two weeks ago,
they had – two weeks ago on Wednesday,

they had the longest wait in the history
of the Veterans Administration, Sarah.

People would wait five days, two days,
three days to see a doctor in a waiting room.

And sometimes at the end of that long wait,
they wouldn't even get to see a doctor.

The vets have been treated terribly.

If I win, if I get the nomination
and ultimately win, believe me,

the vets will be taken care of.

And I do have a relationship with them.

I see the relationship I feel it.

They did a poll recently, and I'm very
popular with the vets because they know

I'll fix the Veterans Administration.

It's a disgrace the way the vets
are being treated in our country.

They are great people,
and they're being treated very badly.

And they are great people,
and they're humble.

And, you know, the reason that there's
been this undercurrent problem

and scandal in the VA
is because vets don't complain.

They're not whiners.

And here it is up to us then to figure out
what the problem is and then to fix it.

More about the campaign trail.

You're seeing some idiots in the press.

And they're misrepresenting your exchange
like the other day with the political

activist father of the Clinton staffer,
Univision's, Jorge Ramos,

and you schooled that radical activist.

And it was the right thing to do because
I don't think he's gonna pull that again.

Where did you get your guts
for that kind of necessary confrontation?

Well, you know, the press was
very good to me on that one,

because he was totally out of line.

He was screaming and ranting and raving.

And I actually said, who is this guy?

And then I figured it out.

And, you know, I'm suing Univision,
actually, for 500 million dollars.

His daughter works for Hillary Clinton,
and he was trying to put on a show.

But actually, he was hurting the rest,
because the room was packed

with various people from the press.

I mean it was a press conference.

And they were all being, you know,
they were waiting to have questions,

and I was gonna ask them.

I would have gotten to him.

But he stood up and started
screaming all over the place.

And frankly, Sarah, the press
was pretty good to me on that.

I mean, they agreed with what I did.

I never raised my voice or anything.

But they agreed, generally speaking,
with what I did. So I was happy with it.

You're pretty gracious when it comes
to treating the press the way

that sometimes they're not going
to treat us conservatives,

speaking of the press.

So you get hit with these gotchas
like most conservatives do.

For instance, they're asking
what's your favorite Bible verse?

And I listened to that going what –
did they ask Hillary that?

What does that have to do with running
for the office of the presidency?

Is it anybody's business?

These personal gotcha questions –
really trying to get you,

anybody running for office off game.

How are you finding that
and finding a technique

to put them in their place
so that the American public

isn't wasting their time,
and they actually get to hear

what's important via a candidate's message.

Well, you saw that.
You know, I love the Bible,

and I'm Protestant, I'm Presbyterian.

And they were hitting me with
different questions one after another.

And look, I don't know if it's gotcha,
but it probably is.

And then they said,
"What's your favorite verse?"

And, you know, that's a very personal thing.

I don't like giving that out
to people that you hardly know.

And frankly, I don't know if they're
fair questions or not questions.

But, you know, there are certain things
that you and myself and a lot

of other people like to keep personal.

But I love the Bible.

I was – It actually started where
somebody held up the book,

The Art of the Deal.

I said that's my second favorite book.

But my first favorite book,
by far, is the Bible.

So – But it's all worked out very well.

You know, interestingly, in the last poll,
I won with everything including evangelicals

big with the evangelicals –
big with the Tea Party.

–

We had tremendous poll numbers
with Tea Party and conservatives.

But we also won with the moderates,
with the poor, with the rich.

I mean, we won in every category.

So I was happy.

But I was very happy with evangelicals.

And actually, also very happy that
the Tea Party numbers

were much higher than anybody else's.

Very happy about that.

Well you know Tea Party advocates,

we have a Libertarian-
leaning streak within us.

And I know that that's important
to you, too, because you understand

that you, as a businessman,
as a father, as a family member,

you can certainly make decisions
for yourself, your business,

your family better than some bureaucrat
can back in Washington D C.

And that that's kind of the foundation
of a Libertarian thinking.

I know you're busy.

You've got millions of people
waiting for you, Donald Trump.

So I have one more question.

Here at One American News,
the war room here, at this network,

they're looking at a poll
and you're leading at about 41%.

And you never dog it..
So what is next?

Because we know that you're going
to keep rolling down the trail.

Well I am, and I'm having a lot of fun.

I'm going to Massachusetts tonight.

I'm going to Iowa again very soon.

We had some tremendous evenings
in Iowa and New Hampshire.

I'm going next week again.

And it's been amazing.

In Alabama, you saw we had 31,000 people
in the stadium last week.

And the the spirit there was incredible,

because they want to see something
happen that's going to be great.

They want to see America be great again.

You know, if you look
at what's happening

with this country, it's so sad.

And you've pointed it out for years.

And it wasn't easy for you to do that.

And you hate to have to do that.

But we are doing it,
and we have tremendous support,

tremendous standing ovations,
and we're having a lot of fun.

You know, we're bringing back the sort of
–

I use the term again –

it hasn't been used in a long time,
"the silent majority."

There's a tremendous group of people
out there that just want to see

this country be great again.

And that's what I'm really seeing,
and it really is resonating, Sarah.

And I have to tell you,
you are a terrific person,

and it's great to be with you.

Thank you so much, Donald Trump.

Get out there and let the people know
what it is that you stand for

and what your intentions
are for this country.

So thank you for taking your valuable time
and sharing with us, thank you.
