PRESIDENT TRUMP: YOU KNOW THIS
IS GOING TO BE MY REMARKS IT
WOULD HAVE TAKEN ABOUT TWO
MINUTES.
>> [LAUGHTER]
PRESIDENT TRUMP: THAT WOULD HAVE
BEEN A LITTLE BORING, LITTLE
BORING.
>> [APPLAUSE]
PRESIDENT TRUMP: NOW I'M READING
OFF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH THAT
SAYS THIS IS BORING, COME ON.
WE HAVE TO SAY, TELL IT LIKE IT
IS.
NEIL: I KNOW YOU FEEL, MR.
PRESIDENT, THIS IS THE
SCRIPT MY STAFF GAVE ME.
BORING, BORING, BUT I'M NOT
GOING TO USE THE WORD, WELCOME
BACK EVERYBODY, I'M NEIL CAVUTO
YOU'RE WATCHING COAST TO COAST
AND WE HAVE ONE OF MY FAVORITE
GUESTS, TONY PERKINS, MAKING
SENSE OF THE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW
WITH RATTLING MARKETS FOR THE
TIME BEING, YOU KNOW, THE
ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA WHICH I
THINK THE PRESIDENT ENJOYED
WHICH I THINK MAYBE MR. PERKINS
ENJOYS.
HOW DO YOU THINK HE'S DOING?
>> I THINK HE'S DOING WELL AND
HE RATTLES A LOT OF THINGS.
WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS IT'S KIND OF
LIKE THAT ROLLERCOASTER WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT DURING THE BREAK,
WE'RE UP AND DOWN, BUT THERE'S A
CONFIDENCE THAT COMES FROM THIS
PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE IS UN
ORTHODOX AND HE'S NOT BOUND --
NEIL: DO YOU EVER EAR BECAUSE HE
MIGHT BE JUST CRAZY?
>> NO BECAUSE I KNOW HIM.
AND I'VE SPENT TIME WITH HIM.
NEIL: HE SEEMS SO IMPULSIVE.
>> THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF THAT,
BUT THAT'S HOW HE'S BEEN
SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE, AND HIS LIFE
, IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM A
BUSINESS STANDPOINT HAS SOME UPS
AND DOWNS IN IT, BUT WHAT WE
NEED IN OUR GOVERNMENT TODAY IS
SOMEONE WHO WILL TELL IT LIKE IT
IS AND CHANGE THINGS UP AND NOT
REALLY JUST WHAT WE SEE IN
WASHINGTON FOR SO MANY YEARS IS
THAT CHANGE JERSEYS BUT WE RUN
THE SAME PLAYS.
WE'RE GETTING A DIFFERENT RESULT
NEIL: WHAT IF WE DON'T.
WHAT IF THE CHINESE UP THE ANTE
TO THE EXTREME THAT WE DO
HAVE A MASSIVE GLOBAL TRADE WAR,
THE LIKES OF WHICH COULD LEAD TO
A WORLDWIDE DEPRESSION?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> THAT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY
BUT LOOK AT WHAT HE'S DONE ON
SOME OF THE OTHER FOREIGN POLICY
ISSUES OUTSIDE OF TRADE LET'S
LOOK HE'S ACTUALLY BROUGHT NORTH
KOREA TO THE TABLE TO SIT DOWN
AND TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S
A THREAT, A NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN
THE HANDS OF NORTH KOREA.
HE'S BRINGING KIM JUNG-UN TO THE
TABLE.
THAT'S NOT HAPPENED.
HE'S MOVED THE EMBASSY IN ISRAEL
TO JERUSALEM SO FROM THOSE
SUCCESSES HE'S BUILDING AN
ELEMENT OF CONFIDENCE THAT
PEOPLE SAY IT'S A LITTLE UNEASY,
BUT OKAY, SO WE'RE OVER, WE'RE A
LITTLE OVER THE WHITE LINE AND
THEN WE'RE BACK OVER THE YELLOW
LINE BUT WE'RE STILL ROLLING.
NEIL: I DON'T WANT TO PRETEND TO
BE THE POPE OR TO JUDGE OTHER
PEOPLE LIKE THE POPE SAYS WHO I
AM I TO JUDGE BUT I'M ALWAYS
AMAZED WITH THE RELIGIOUS
COMMUNITY ESPECIALLILY IN LIGHT
OF THE STORMY DANIELS AND PAY-
OFF TO WOMEN, BUT WHAT TO
YOU MAKE OF THAT?
>> NEIL IT'S A VERY GOOD
QUESTION AND ONE THAT MANY
PEOPLE WRESTLE WITH BUT LET ME
SET THE STAGE HERE.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT LOOKING AT
THIS IN THE VACUUM OF TODAY.
IT'S ACTUALLY GOING BACK TO TWO
YEARS AGO WHEN WE CAME DOWN TO A
CHOICE BETWEEN HILLARY CLINTON
AND DONALD TRUMP AND MOST OF US
WE'RE NOT WITH DONALD TRUMP IN
THE PRIMARY BECAUSE OF THE VERY
REASONS YOU JUST LAID OUT BUT
WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO A CHOICE
BETWEEN THOSE TWO AND HE WRAPPED
HIMSELF IN A CONSERVE CON T LIVE
PLATFORM, HE EMBRACED IT.
NEIL: BUT YOU INTO YOU WEREN'T
GETTING AN ALTAR BOY.
>> WELL EVERYBODY KNEW THAT.
NEIL: AND YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT?
>> WELL WOULD I HAVE PREFERRED
ANOTHER CANDIDATE?
THAT'S WHY I WAS WORKING FOR ONE
OF THE OTHERS TRYING TO HELP
THEM BUT WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO A
REAL CHOICE BETWEEN HIM AND
HILLARY CLINTON WHO WAS GOING TO
CONTINUE AND EXPOUND UPON THE
POLICIES OF BARACK OBAMA, HE
SAID OKAY, WE KNOW HIS PAST,
IT'S NOT SOMETHING HE'S GOING TO
AGREE WITH, HE'S GOING TO
ADVANCE THESE AGENDA ITEMS THAT
WE CARE DEEPLY ABOUT, AND WE'RE
16 MONTHS LATER AFTER HIS
ADMINISTRATION.
NEIL: YOU CAN LOOK PAST ALL THIS
OTHER STUFF?
>> AS LONG AS IT'S IN THE PAST.
IF IT'S PRESENT, THEN IT'S A
DIFFERENT ISSUE.
IF IT WAS UNDER BILL CLINTON IN
THE OVAL OFFICE TODAY, AS LONG
