Watch the full interview HERE.

On his visit to NYC to commemorate the 22nd Anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks:

My wife and I got invited by some of the 9/11 families who we've gotten to know, and so we went. I wasn't in the VIP section with these politicians. I was walking around the site with the families. We would go to where their family member's names were, and it was really emotional, because they're telling stories. The way they've done it is, someone that passed away, the names of people that knew each other [are] close by, so they're telling stories about maybe their father's friends or husband's friends, and so my wife and I were really touched by it. And we are committed. And I also think back to 9/11, that inspired me to join the military. I mean, my whole life changed as a result of that--serving in Iraq, serving in the Navy, and ending up getting involved in public service, and so my wife and I were really touched by it. And I've said, as president, you know, they've been promised the documents on the Saudi involvement. They've been promised a lot of things over the year. We got to deliver for these 9/11 families, and I will do that.

On how he will earn the support of minority voters:

I think the formula is, one, don't pander to people and try to divide them on ethnicity. Treat them and us as Americans. We all want the same things. Low crime--we will crack down on crime nationally with the Soros-backed prosecutors. I did it in Florida, I'll do it nationally. The border and immigration, illegal immigration, is having a devastating effect on a lot of these urban areas. People are flooding their school systems and hospitals. I'm going to shut the border down. We'll build a wall and we're going to use lethal force against the Mexican drug cartels, leaving them stone cold dead at the border if they're trying to bring fentanyl in. And then education, we're doing school choice in every inner city in this country. We did it in Florida. Our results have skyrocketed over the last decade as a result of that. It works, and these kids deserve a chance.
