LIVE - Former President Trump addresses media at Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles, CA

TO FORMER TRUMP HOLDING HIS PRESS CONFERENCE NOW AT TRUMP NATIONAL THERE IN BEAUTIFUL RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CALIFORNIA. >> ACTUALLY, FRANCE, YOU KNOW, MOST VERY FEW COURSES RIGHT DOWN THE PACIFIC OCEAN. IT'S PEBBLE BEACH AND THERE'S SOME OTHERS. BUT I ALWAYS SAY I HAVE THE OCEAN. PEBBLE BEACH HAS THE BAY. THE OCEAN IS BETTER THAN THE BAY. AND THIS COURSE IS ONE OF THE BEST COURSES ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. AND IT'S DONE REALLY WELL. AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF FUN IT SO IT'S BEEN GREAT. IT'S A MAJOR PROPERTY SO SHE CAN IMAGINE. WE DO ALSO LOTS OF WEDDINGS AND LOTS OF EVENTS AND IN THE BALLROOM BEHIND YOU AND PEOPLE GET MARRIED LITERALLY ON A NIGHTLY BASIS LOOKING OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN. SO WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S VERY SPECIAL. WE'RE PROUD OF IT. WELL, THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. BEFORE WE BEGIN, I WANT TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR ALL OF THE FAMILIES AFFECTED BY THE LANDSLIDES IN RANCHO PALOS VERDES. YEAH, THE SLIDES ARE SOMETHING CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS VERY SOLID. BUT YOU GO DOWN A COUPLE OF MILES DOWN, YOU'LL SEE SOMETHING THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING. THE THE MOUNTAIN IS MOVING AND IT CAN BE STOPPED, BUT THEY NEED SOME HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT. SO I HOPE THEY GET THE HELP. AND I'M SURE JOHN WILL HAVE THE HELP. AND I WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR FOR THE GREAT JOB HE'S DOING. TELL TO THE PEOPLE WHAT A GREAT JOB HE'S DOING. I JUST MET WITH THE MAYOR AND ESPECIALLY WANT TO SALUTE ALL THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND EMERGENCY PERSONNEL WHO ARE WORKING ON DOWN THE ROAD, AS WELL AS THE UTILITY WORKERS WHO ARE FIGHTING TO RESTORE SERVICE TO LOCAL RESIDENTS. ANOTHER THING, WHEN YOU LIVE ALONG THE COAST, SOMETIMES THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT, BUT WHEN THEY FIX, IT'S THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT. IT REALLY IS NOTHING LIKE IT. I'M TODAY IN CALIFORNIA WITH A VERY SIMPLE MESSAGE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE CANNOT ALLOW COMRADE KAMALA AND THE COMMUNIST LEFT TO DO TO AMERICA WHAT DID TO CALIFORNIA. THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS A MESS WITH PEOPLE LEAVING AND NOTHING'S GOING TO STOP THEM. THEY'RE GOING TO OTHER STATES. SOME GOING TO OTHER COUNTRIES. BUT WHAT THEY'VE DONE, GAVIN NEWSOM AND KAMALA AND I WANT TO SAY KAMALA MORE SO. SHE DESTROYED SAN FRANCISCO AND SHE DESTROYED THE STATE. >> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE KIND OF DESTRUCTION TAKING PLACE, IT'S ALL MANMADE OR WOMAN MADE DESTRUCTION, TOO. IT'S THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN. WITH FOUR MORE YEARS OF HER IN THE WHITE HOUSE, BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE WHAT TO THIS COUNTRY AS WHAT THEY ALLOWED HAPPEN IN CALIFORNIA AND SAN FRANCISCO, ONE OF THE GREAT CITIES OF THE WORLD 15 YEARS AGO, AND TODAY IT'S NOT IN A VERY GOOD POSITION. TO PUT IT MILDLY IN THIS STATE, WHICH IS PROBABLY THE BEST PIECE OF REAL ESTATE IN, THE WORLD, THE STATE. YOU HAVE THE SUNSHINE, YOU HAVE THE OCEAN, YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE THE PERFECT WEATHER, THE BEST WEATHER. AND THEY'VE HEARD IT SO BADLY, SO BADLY. DECADES. SAN FRANCISCO IS KNOWN AS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. A FRIEND OF MINE, A FRIEND OF A LOT OF THE PEOPLE HERE, BOB TISCH, USED TO SAY SAN FRANCISCO IS THE BEST CITY IN THE UNITED STATES, THE BEST CITY THERE IS. AND HE PASSED A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, BUT HE WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT. HE USED TO ALWAYS TALK ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO'S GREATEST CITY HE OWNED LOEWS. GOOD COMPANY. GREAT COMPANY. AND HE WOULD SAY IT CONSTANTLY. AND NOW YOU SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED AND IT CAN BE BROUGHT BACK JUST LIKE OUR COUNTRY CAN BE BROUGHT BACK BECAUSE WE'RE A NATION IN DECLINE. THE DECLINE OF THIS WHOLE STATE IS ONE OF THE SAD CHAPTERS IN WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE LEFT LUNATICS THAT WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH AS THE SAN FRANCISCO DISTRICT ATTORNEY. KAMALA WAS THE GODMOTHER OF SANCTUARY CITIES. SHE WAS RIGHT OUT THERE AT THE FOREFRONT AND ALSO THE MOVEMENT OF DEFUNDING THE POLICE. SHE WAS THERE RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING. SHE BOASTED, QUOTE, WE ARE A SANCTUARY CITY AND WE ALWAYS WILL BE. WELL, THE SANCTUARY CITIES OF CRIME, ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT KAMALA GAVE SANCTUARY CITY TO IS AND PUT IN IS IT DE WAS EDWIN RAMOS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN? MS. 13 GANG MEMBER WHO SAVAGELY MURDERED A FATHER AND HIS TWO SONS AFTER MISTAKING THEM FOR MEMBERS, A RIVAL GANG. SHE KNEW THIS AND SHE CAME TO HIS DEFENSE. HE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ARRESTED FOR ROBBING A PREGNANT WOMAN AND KILLING MANY. THEY SAY KAMALA REFUSED TO GET HIM OUT OF OUR COUNTRY AND HE WENT ON TO DO VERY SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. SHE ALSO GAVE SANCTUARY TO ILLEGAL ALIEN RONNIE AGUILERA, WHO MURDERED 14-YEAR-OLD BOY, NEARLY DECAPITATING HIM WITH A SWORD. HE ENJOYED WATCHING THIS TAKE PLACE, A SWORD BY HIS HAND. KAMALA, HER TENURE AS D.A. WITH A SAN FRANCISCO POLICE GROUP DESCRIBED AS A, QUOTE, FIRE SALE FOR PLEA DEALS. THEY MADE PLEA DEALS. THE ONLY ONE THEY DON'T MAKE A PLEA DEAL WITH IS TRUMP. THEY GO AFTER THEIR POLITICAL, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG. SO MORE CHARGES WERE DROPPED YESTERDAY IN ATLANTA. IT'S SO POLITICALLY INSPIRED AND IT'S ALL AGAINST THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENT. WE WON THE IN THE BIG CASE. THEY WON. THEY SAID THE BIG CASE. THE BIG CASE. I COMPLETELY WON THAT CASE. THE DOCUMENTS CASE IN FLORIDA CASE WAS THROWN OUT WITH THE RANGER SMITH DERANGED PROSECUTOR THAT HE DEVOTED HIS EFFORTS TO VIOLENT CRIME AND TO THE BORDER, WHICH THEY HAVE WOULD BE IN A LOT BETTER POSITION AS A COUNTRY. AND ONE SWEETHEART DEAL. KAMALA GAVE ONLY 12 YEARS TO A MONSTER KNOWN AS DAVID TAYLOR, WHO GOT HIGH ON CRACK AND MURDERED A 65 YEAR OLD MOTHER. THEY HAMMER AND A PAIR OF SCISSORS. HE WANTED TO COME OUT AND SHE WANTED TO GET HIM OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AND THEN ANOTHER DEAL SHE GAVE ONLY SIX YEARS TO A MAN WHO KILLED A DISABLED VETERAN WITH A KNIFE AND THEN LEFT HIS BODY TO ROT IN A BATHTUB. KAMALA REFUSED TO SEEK THE DEATH PENALTY FOR A GANG MEMBER WHO MURDERED SAN FRANCISCO POLICE ISAAC ESPINOSA DURING A TRAFFIC STOP. >> VERY INNOCENT TRAFFIC STOP TO EXPLAIN HER DECISION. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS? WHY WOULD YOU GIVE SUCH LENIENCY TO SOMEBODY THAT JUST KILLED TWO OF HIS SON? A MAJOR JOY. THE SAN FRANCISCO POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATE, ASIAN AS A SINGLE RACE. SHE BECAME DISTRICT ATTORNEY. THE POLICE DON'T HER. ALL RIGHT. SO TAKE IT. REALLY, NO ENDORSEMENTS NOW, BUT WE HAVE EVERY OC POLICE. WE'RE TAKING SOME HITS IN THIS LIVE HERE. BUT BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS THE FORMER PRESIDENT THERE IN RANCHO PALOS VERDES IS SORRY ABOUT THE SHOT WE GO. WE DID GET ANOTHER ANGLE. WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE OUR TERRY MORAN, WHO'S THERE AT THIS PRESS CONFERENCE. BUT THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO START SEEING SINCE THE DEBATE. THE FORMER PRESIDENT DO. HE LIKES TO HOLD PRESS CONFERENCES AT HIS VARIOUS PROPERTIES AS MAKES IT FROM NOT ONLY STATE TO STATE CAMPAIGNING, BUT HE'S CHOOSING, YOU KNOW, COMFORTABLE PLACES FOR HIM. THIS IS TRUMP NATIONAL, ONE OF HIS COURSES WHERE IMMEDIATELY WHEN HE STEPPED UP TO THE MIC, I STARTED ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY AND WHAT A NICE GOLF COURSE HE HAS. BUT NOW JUMPING RIGHT INTO ISSUES OF IMMIGRATION, A TOPIC THAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW VOTERS REALLY LOOK TO HIM ON HE DOES VERY WELL ON THE ISSUE OF IMMIGRATION BUT AFTER THE DEBATE AND A LOT OF THINGS THAT WERE THAT WERE EXTREMELY CONTROVERSIAL THIS SORT OF SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THOSE POLICIES THAT BOTH CANDIDATES NOW ARE JUMPING ON TO AND TALKING WHETHER IT'S A PRESS CONFERENCE HERE OR AT A RALLY. SO WE'LL TALK TO TERRY ONCE THIS WRAPS UP. BUT WE'VE GOT OUR KATHERINE FAULDERS WITH US AS WELL. WHO, CATHERINE? IT JUST SORT OF WAS OF A MEANDERING MOMENT, BUT HE STARTED TALKING ABOUT SANCTUARY CITIES AND AGAIN TALKING ABOUT CERTAIN CRIME IN CERTAIN CITIES RELATED TO IMMIGRATION. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS SO FAR. YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION AND WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT, YOU KNOW, MEANDERING. I WAS TRYING TO FOLLOW A BIT OF BEFORE WE JUMPED OUT OF THAT WHAT WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT HE WAS SAYING. AND I THINK HE WAS GETTING INTO TO THE WHAT YOU JUST MENTIONED, THE IMMIGRATION ELEMENT OF THIS. HE WANTS TO CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT IMMIGRATION, THE DEBATE. WE KNOW THAT HE WANTS TO FOCUS ON THOSE SORTS OF ISSUES. WE HEAR HIM TALK ABOUT A LOT THE ECONOMY AND IMMIGRATION. HE WAS USING THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY. AND I KNOW, OF COURSE, HE'S STILL SPEAKING THERE, BUT HE WAS USING AT LEAST THE BEGINNING OF HIS REMARKS HERE TO ATTACK HARRIS FOR FOR VARIOUS DIFFERENT THINGS. I THINK HE WAS GOING AFTER HER NUMBER OF ENDORSEMENTS THAT MAYBE SHE HAD GOTTEN FROM FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AROUND THE COUNTRY. I WASN'T SURE WHAT HE WAS SAYING THERE, BUT THE CAMPAIGN IS ALSO USING THIS, AT LEAST FROM SOME OF WHAT TRUMP'S ADVISERS HAVE PUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU MENTIONED. HE'S IN CALIFORNIA. HE'S AT ONE OF HIS CLUBS ONE OF HIS COURSES THERE THAT HE TALKED ABOUT IN THE BEGINNING. BUT THEY'RE ALSO SAYING HE'S IN CALIFORNIA BECAUSE HE'S IN KAMALA HARRIS' HOME AND HE WANTED TO GIVE REMARKS TO THE PRESS THERE. SO WHO KNOWS? HE IS STILL TALKING. I SEE RIGHT THERE. WHO KNOWS IF HE'S GOING TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. KYRA, YOU REMEMBER LAST TIME HE DID THIS AT TRUMP TOWER, HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO HAVE PRESS CONFERENCE. HE DIDN'T TAKE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS. SO WHO KNOWS IF THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE REMARKS TO THE PRESS WITH NO QUESTIONS OR IF HE ACTUALLY WILL ENGAGE? I KNOW OUR TERRY MORAN, AS YOU MENTIONED, IS STANDING RIGHT THERE. AND SURELY WILL TRY AND GET A QUESTION TO TRUMP. THEY CLOSE UP THERE. SO LET'S SEE. BUT AGAIN, YOU SEE WHAT ARE WHAT HIS ADVISERS ARE SAYING IS HE'S TRYING TO USE THIS TYPE OF APPEARANCE AS SOME SORT OF VICTORY LAP, IF YOU WILL. I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT SQUARES GIVEN GIVEN WHAT HE'S ALREADY DISCUSSING, BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO HIM AND SEE WHAT HE SAYS.
