Trump backs Speaker Mike Johnson during joint press conference at Mar-a-Lago | LiveNOW from FOX

Well, everyone, as you can see, we're going live right now tomorrow logo, we have former President Donald Trump with the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, it's one of the problems that we have, we have a judicial system that is very corrupt, we have a border that is open, we have a lot of problems in our country and we have an electoral problem and that is really what we are here to talk about today. President Johnson will brief you on what we discussed and what we agree on, but I would like to demand that our border be closed because we have millions of people coming into our country.

Millions and millions of people are reaching levels that no one reports, that no one is going to talk about, but I think we could already have 15 million. Some are terrorists where they come from. uh jails and prisons come from mental institutions and insane former students come from all over the world not just from South America they come from all over the world Venezuela announced that its crime has dropped by 67% due to the fact that they have taken gang members, leaders and members , and they have deposited them very well in the United States of America, that is just Venezuela, it is happening with the Congo, it is happening with countries throughout Africa, Asia, South America, all over the world, it is happening in our country. a landfill and we're going to stop it and Biden should do it immediately he should close the border immediately you don't need legislation you don't need this gentleman you don't need anyone you can do it I did it without any legislation He had the best border we've ever had in recorded history he can close it immediately if he had left we would have stayed in Mexico stay in Mexico we had capture and release in Mexico no here we had everything was perfect it was a Great, we had a great situation and now we have the worst one ever.

I don't believe in the history of the world that there has ever been a border like this, but we probably have 15 million people and they come from places you don't want to know about. and there are going to be big problems and it is getting worse it is the crime of migrants it is a new category of crime crime of migrants and I only demand I only demand as a citizen I demand that the border be closed our country cannot bear it no country could accept it, it is not sustainable for any country and we want to also mention electoral interference and we want to talk about electoral integrity for a while, but basically that's what we're working on and I'll introduce you to the

speaker

that you know.

Very good, he is doing a very good job under very difficult circumstances and I appreciate him coming to Maral Lago. We had a great

conference

and there was great participation because people want this to be fixed, they want our country to heal, they want our country to heal. United and I think most people are united in the fact that they don't want people coming in from prisons, jails and mental institutions, they don't want that to happen, they don't want it to happen and it's not going to happen. It will happen for a long time and that is why I say that November 5 is going to be the most important day in the history of our country, that is the elections, it is going to be the most important day in the history of our country, thank you very much and

speaker

, thank you. thank you very much mr president and it is good to see you all we are delighted to be here with our former and future president in these beautiful facilities Maril Lago is famous throughout the country and we are grateful to be here with President Trump, as our candidate and the party , we look forward to that historic day in November because we are going to increase the majority in the House of Representatives, we are going to win the United States Senate and we are going to take back the White House.

Plus, the American people need us to do that, they're excited for that day and November can't come soon enough the speaker of the house when we're not in session. The president must travel, fly around the country and be. With all of our candidates and incumbents around, I've been thinking about 23 states in the last few weeks and everywhere we go, one of the first questions people ask is this election issue. Integrity, the border is number one. In the United States there has never been a political problem. That that score is so high in the polls is a cause for concern and it doesn't matter where someone lives because, as we say now, every state is a border state.

They are deeply concerned about it. that and the elections Integrity is tied to the border the lack of border security President Biden has created a catastrophe and he did it by Design: we document 64 specific executive actions he took since the day he entered the Oval Office and that his agencies They took Secretary Mayorcas to open the border wide to invite everyone from all over the world to come here, including hardened criminals and dangerous people, and the result, as we all know, the official figure is 9 million encounters in the southern border since Joe Biden took office, but the real number is probably close to 16 million illegals who have entered the country because they wanted it, they designed it, they designed it to be that way.

His actions led to the end of the Romania-Mexico policy under President Trump's administration. had been a practice under the Obama administration, they stopped building the wall, they did everything exactly the opposite of what this president had accomplished and that is why we have this catastrophe that has all kinds of terrible effects on the American people, we know that the fentel is a leading cause of death for Americans ages 18-49 we know that violent crimes are being committed against innocent Americans, now Lake and r, and many others who are now losing their lives because these dangerous people are in our country and this must stop and the American people are demanding that it be so and no matter what political party any American belongs to, they have the same desire that they want Safety and Security and we can provide that, but among the problems that arise from this open border catastrophe is directly related with this threat. to our election integrity why is it necessary to understand something really important about federal law since 1993? you just claim or just affirm that you are a citizen, you don't have to prove it, you can register that person to vote in a federal election and you see states are currently prohibited, believe it or not, states are prohibited from asking someone to prove it. are citizens, if the federal voter registration form only has one check box and if you do it, you're good, the states can't allow it, we think it's a serious problem, so what we're going to do is The Republicans of The House of Representatives are introducing a bill that would require proof of citizenship to vote.

It seems like common sense. I'm sure we would all agree that we only want American citizens to vote in American elections, but there are some Democrats who don't. to do that we believe that one of their designs is one of the reasons for this open border that everyone is asking all over the country why would they do this why would they allow all this chaos why the violence because they want to turn these people into right wing voters Now The administration is encouraging illegals to go to their local welfare office to sign up for benefits. Guess what?

When you go to a welfare office, they also ask you if you would like to register to vote, and we think a lot of people will do that. that and you know what happens if the numbers are so high, there are so many millions of illegals in the country that if just one in a hundred voted, they would potentially cast hundreds of thousands of votes in the elections that could change the elections, this could be In a close election in our congressional races across the country, if there are enough votes it could affect the presidential election and that's why House Republicans are going to act.

I am going to announce to you today, here, standing next to President Trump, that We will do everything in our power to ensure that we have free and fair elections in this country, if we do not have them in a constitutional republic we have nothing, it is the foundation of who we are as a nation and we owe it to the American people and therefore what we are going to do is introduce legislation that requires that every person who registers to vote in a federal election must prove that they are an American citizen, first will have to prove it, that will be a new uh uh Part of federal law and a very important one: our bill will establish new safeguards and, by the way, put us on par with virtually every other democracy in the world that also prohibits voting non-citizens and this is something fundamental for us. making our bill at a very critical time will also require states to remove non-citizens from their existing voting roles, which is also a big deal, and will provide access to databases from the Department of Homeland Security and the US Administration.

Social Security to help states manage this as the entity responsible for regulating federal elections. Congress has this responsibility. We cannot wait for widespread fraud to occur, especially when the threat of fraud is growing with every illegal immigrant who crosses that border. This is something that most Americans are deeply concerned about. The latest poll says that 78% of pedantic Americans say preventing illegal immigrants from voting in our elections is a top priority everywhere I've been in the country, whether outside the Midwest Long Island Deep South it doesn't matter, everyone is worried about this we have a job to do this is what you need to look for and I will take it back to the president when we introduce this bill on the floor.

If we're going to see record voting between Republicans and Democrats, we're going to see Republicans standing up for election integrity and then we can ask this very important question of Democrats. They will have to record this. that Americans and only Americans should be the ones voting in American elections, we are about to find out your answer and I think it will be very interesting, so that everyone can see Mr. President, thank you again for having us today. I will return it to you yes sir thank you yes sir thank you do you have any questions to support or make a motion to V or stay behind?

We get along very well with the speaker and I get along very well with older uh, we. I have a speaker that they voted for and it was a complicated process and I think it's not an easy situation for any speaker. I think he's doing a very good job, he's doing it as well as you and I are going to do. I'm sure Margerie understands that she is a very good friend of mine and I know that she has a lot of respect for the speaker and would she support a Ukraine aid bill if the speaker went ahead with it?

We are analyzing it. They're talking about it right now and we're thinking about doing it as a loan instead of just a gift. We continue to give gifts of billions and billions of dollars and we will analyze it, but a lot. The most important thing for me is the fact that Europe has to step forward and they have to give money, we have to match if they don't. I am very upset because they are affected much more than us, Ukraine. The situation would never have happened if I were president, it would never have happened and everyone is saying that, including the Democrats, that this happened is a scandal, millions of people are dead right now, both sides, millions of people are dead, cities are reduced to ashes.

We will never rebuild those cities, that's certainly not like they're that beautiful and this is something that should never have happened on October 7th, should never have happened in Israel, should never have happened what happened there was outrageous. Iran was bankrupt when I was president, people were not buying. oil from Iran they weren't allowed to do it, if they were going to buy oil from Iran then they weren't going to do any business in the US and I told China, I told everyone, they weren't doing business, they weren't broke they didn't have money for Hamas they didn't have money for Hezbollah it would never have happened October 7th would never have happened it happened and now it's a disaster and it's only getting worse so uh it's very sad no I Support the speaker we've had a very good relationship, Mr.

President, while you were in office, you said you would sign a federal abortion ban and Congress sent it to your desk. Why should Americans take his word that he wouldn't do it now if you got re-elected because we don't need him anymore because we broke roie Wade and did something no one thought was possible, we gave it back to the states and the states are working very brilliantly in some conservative cases in some non-conservative cases but they are working and it is working the way it is supposed to for all the legal scholars, the real legal scholars wanted it to go back to the states, Democrats, Republicans, liberals , conservatives, and we can do it, you know, what we did was give it back to the States and now the states are working their way through this and you're going to have a very, very beautiful Harmony to be honest with you, you have some cases like Arizona that HEIt dates back to 1864 or something like that. and a Jud made a decision, but that will be changed by the government, they are going to change what I don't agree with that, excuse me please, just a follow-up over the last few decades, Mr.

President, they have both considered themselves themselves.pro-choice and pro-life, which one is, well, you know exactly which one it is and when I was in New York and when I was a Democrat too, just like Ronald Reagan, you know Ronald Reagan was a Democrat, we kind of followed a model very similar path, but if you look at what we have done with ro v Wade, we did something that everyone said couldn't be done and we did it and I give great credit to the Supreme Court and the judges for having the courage to do it, which They did is simply give it back to the state and I will tell you that the Democrats are the radicals in this because they are willing to abort in the seventh, eighth, ninth month, they are even willing and you can call. it's whatever you want, but you go back to the governor of Virginia, the previous governor of Virginia, the Democratic governor of Virginia, where he talked about executing a baby after birth and you can say whatever you want, but that's extreme and radical and no one I should have. that and it needs to be put to an end please go ahead please Mr.

President do you think the motion to override the rules should finally be changed or do you think it is just creating chaos at the moment? Well, it's unfortunate that people bring it up because right now we have much bigger problems, the country is We are a nation in decline, we are a nation in decline, we have tremendous inflation, inflation is returning to levels that no one thought they would really have, if we look at the inflation categories they have. the worst categories, many categories are not included and if you included them your inflation figure would be substantially higher than what it is now and it is already at records, so inflation is back and a lot of bad things are happening in our country, But that is not important. you have Russia could end and it could end in a world war between Russia Ukraine and all the chaos and that is something that should never have happened, would never have happened what is happening with Israel on October 7 and what is happening with Israel could end in a world war we have a president who can't put two sentences together we have a president who can't find the stairs to get off a stage we have a president who doesn't know what the hell he's doing and we could end up in a world war, you know, we have a just under seven months before November 5th but that's an eternity when people are incompetent go ahead please support the f house bill that was in the morning which the bill fisa and Did you talk to anyone?

Well, I'm not a big fan of fisa. I watched him and studied him and probably know him better than anyone. You know they spy on my campaign. You know it well and they did many things. Other bad things I'm not a big fan of fiser, but I told everyone, I told them to do whatever they want, they put in a lot of checks and balances and I guess now there are two years left until the first part is due. of my Administration on the basis that we are on par with the surveys because in all the surveys we have just had another one that comes out, we are leading by a lot, but it comes out quickly.

I said do whatever you want, but I'm I'm not a big fan of fisa I think it's terrible yes B, if you testify do you plan to testify at your trial in the yes I would testify absolutely it's a scam it's a scam that's not a trial that's not a tra that is a scam if you read Jonathan Turley if you read Andy McCarthy, if you read the legal text, they said there is not even a case there that is electoral interference by the Biden administration, they actually took their boss, one of his best put him in the DA's office to run it and it's a shame. what they have done is incredible it is electoral interference and it has to stop it is a third world country this country has never done it but you read Jonathan Turle you read Andrew McCarthy you read the legal academics each of them said that all of this is a scam isn't even a crime crime and what they're doing is a crime, they're criminals right Bob, why do you think it's important for you to testify, take the stand in this upcoming trial and what are you watching as jury selection begins?

New York, well, you know, jury selection is largely luck, it depends on who it is, it's very unfair that you have a trial there, it's very unfair that we have this judge who hates Trump and is tremendously conflicted, like You know, a tremendous conflict, no one can believe that. this judge doesn't recuse himself, the conflict is at a level no one has seen before, so I have that and I have room, we have all these things that we have asked for, they don't give us anything, it's a witch hunt that requires place in New York and that's happening and it's very bad for New York and it's very bad and it's very bad for the justice system in New York it's risky for you to take that risk I'm testifying I'm telling the truth, I'm telling everything I can What I'm doing is telling the truth and the truth is there is no case, they have no case and again you have to read the scholars, read all the legal scholars.

I haven't seen any jurists say this is the case and in fact even you People were like, Oh wow, it's a shame this is the first one. They are all scams. This is internal interference in the elections. We have a president who doesn't know where he is. He can not talk. The whole world is collapsing. The world is on fire, they don't respect our country anymore and the only way he thinks he can win is by doing this, you know. The Trump trials that we have are fonny in Atlanta, which has been so discredited now that it was a setup with her boyfriend, so they could take trips and make a lot of money and that is something that should be dismissed, not just the prosecutor dismissed, the case should be dismissed, every single one of them said, look what happened to Biden, he can have Scot free with 50 years of documents. and classified information, he gets away with it and I continue fighting against that TR.

All of this is a disgrace and it is a disgrace to our nation, Israel, according to both American and Israeli intelligence reports. Have you spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about how he should do it? The United States answers the same question, sir, I don't want to say who I spoke to, but that the president of our country really warns that he believes that they are going to attack us or that they are going to attack us. They are going to be attacked that is quite pathetic they would not attack Israel if I were president I can tell you that and they never did they would not attack Iran was not in a position to attack they had no money they were bankrupt but now they have 221 billion dollars and they have to Iraq that has 300 billion dollars and Iraq has become a subsidiary of Iran with everything we have done with all the fighting and all the deaths, look what happened, how incompetent the whole thing is, but I don't know .

I want to say who I spoke to, but I think it's a very, very dangerous period, this is a very dangerous period in our nation and one of the main reasons why it's dangerous is that we have a president who is wildly incompetent. Thank you all very much, Speaker Johnson.
