But right now -- -- he wants to know if pres Obama's hiding something what is at this time.
Plus Donald Trump is planned to do something very very major at the Republican National Convention.
Here's Donald Trump.
-- nice to talk to you and I -- So that only -- Republican conventions coming up are you going that's the first question secondly if you are do you intend to be speaking to the idea.
Well they want me to go and I'm going to be in Sarasota the night before where I'm being honored by the Republican Party in Florida.
As a statesman of the year.
And get that will be very uninteresting and -- look forward to that and I probably will be going but they do want me to go yes.
How -- speak we've been asked to speak.
I'd rather not say that yet but they do want me to do something very major at the convention.
I love the something very major now you -- -- teased us -- what's the very major can you give us -- -- -- -- I can't I'm not allowed to say but it's something very very major.
The ended the nominee of the Republican Party governor Romney has not yet named it vice president -- getting down to the wire.
I'm curious whether or not -- you think not now who would you -- it like to see so much but what would be the politically most shrewd choice.
If he wants get elected in November.
Well I don't think he should get somebody that's going to help him get one of the swing states so.
If you look at the different to people you know you have Florida rubio excellent.
You have Chris Christie excellent he's an excellent guy and a friend of mine but -- excellent guy does a great job as governor of New Jersey.
Portman.
You know we need to get Ohio we need to get other states so.
I don't think and by the way Bob McDonnell in Virginia is a fantastic guy and doing an amazing job as governor had a lot of property in Virginia he's done an amazing job as governor.
So that's a great names and I think that is those names can help swing a certain state all of those states are very important to.
You know I've been looking at the numbers of those states you've identified but a recent numbers caught my attention and that's the women vote.
And something has six has happened in a month is quite extraordinary.
Is set in July to be in July -- Obama was up with the women vote by eight points over governor Romney.
Now one month later.
The President Obama has to widen that Margie he's up nineteen points with the women -- over governor Romney and governor on his lost a lot -- ground in the last month.
I'm curious in light of that should the government be looking very used to have very strongly an attraction -- choosing a woman.
What a surprise to hear those numbers I think that he's been.
You know an amazing it campaign -- I think he's done really well and Israel campaign hasn't come out I think -- really start to happen after the after the convention but I am very surprised to see those numbers actually shocked.
And I don't know if those numbers are real I don't think -- meaningful because I would be very very surprised if those numbers were real.
But -- number numbers are fluid that says one months of this month and innovative things do change but that was extraordinary -- that poll.
I found that controversy would senator Harry Reid and the tax it -- Should governor Romney -- -- Temi appeal on the first.
Well I think it's a very strong statement -- Harry met and I've known Harry and I like -- but I think it's a statement that he probably wished he didn't make I don't think there was a source.
A lot of people don't think it was a source of there was a source it's probably not.
Allowed it is probably not even -- -- I mean who would be able to do that it would be allowed to do that I don't think there is sore so.
He had made mistakes but it was a very -- -- I think that.
Frankly -- -- I've said it many times and I'll continue to say it -- What governor Romney should do in my opinion and he's a very different person and he's got a different attitude and I understand that.
You say I will give my tax returns.
If you open a bureau records because -- you know.
President Obama spent over four million dollars trying to hide so many different things from his past whether it's.
College applications college records.
Passport records.
And you don't nobody brings us up nobody says open up your passport records are put up your college applications.
-- put up your college records let's see your life and nobody brings us up but -- most presidents have given their college records.
Presidents have given to the best of my knowledge that passport records so -- you spending four million dollars -- trying to keep some secrets I would say.
I would open up but it actually turns that is actually turns are perfect.
But I would open up my tax returns but we want to see your records I think they should place.
Tissue on the other foot.
And I would take that he did he would probably not here anymore talks frankly about the tax returns which are 100%.
According to oil.
If I -- I thought that -- Birth issue had been put to rest of you to your satisfaction most Americans it is that people are set us.
I cannot go that I don't think people -- satisfied at all and it doesn't matter and that's not my big issue my big issue -- jobs and the fact that we have eight point three.
Unemployment now just one -- but you know last month -- Eight point 3% unemployment and that's terrible but the real number 16%.
Because so many people aren't included in the unemployment -- -- should be.
And the real real numbers probably 21% unemployment so when you look at the kind of jobs that would do it that's my issue.
But don't have I've been satisfied no I have not been -- -- us.
-- -- -- what what would you expect to find a college records I'm curious what you're looking for there stuff.
I don't wanna get into what I -- get into the fact that jobs US big question and I responded that's what I would say I would say what he wants to tax returns we wanna see it why he's spending four million dollars -- trying to.
-- things and hiding.
So I would say that would be my response and I think it's a very good response and by the way.
If you just -- that strongly people would stop basket but -- actually -- that a problem would have been giving the tax returns is that.
-- had a very significant.
Success he is a very significantly successful person.
And the taxi -- -- complicated done by big firms.
Highly respected firms had a highly respected lawyers who sign off now you can take any one of hundreds and hundreds and probably even thousands of lines -- And find one little thing and try and make a big deal out of it.
And that's very very unfair.
So I understand exactly what may distilling he thinks it's unfair and I know it's hundred no Obama.
-- may not saying has very simple tax returns so let's see you can't just say.
I'm giving my tax return -- but it's not easy to Mitt Romney to do that but it's a great trade.
And that's what I would do if I -- him but -- -- very different people.
-- in order for that to be -- a good trade that tax returns for the college records.
The wind has got to be something they say who had some music college records and I'm still baffled.
What you would expect to see -- -- college records that he wanted his grades or else I would love.
To see his college records just like I'd like to see lots of other things I'd like to see -- passport presaged.
And I don't okay I hope they're a 100% okay as an American and as a good American somebody that loves this country I hope they're a 100% okay.
But I'm trying to figure out why would somebody spend four million dollars to try to keep those records silence.
Thwarted the for a million dollar government has so much going on these and -- -- -- and that was reported.
I am glad -- yeah I got -- add to tell you that I'm somewhat perplexed -- city people report all sorts of if you've got senator Harry Reid claiming things with a unnamed sources.
Now we get four million and we really you know in this city we have a hard times -- nailing down you know the facts and the sources.
Well that's there was a reported number and I think it's pretty well documented that he spent a fortune on lawyers.
To try keep things secret so I don't know how he can keep things secret.
But governor Romney is not supposed to keep -- -- so I think it's very unfair I think it's a very very.
-- double standard.
I supposed to President Obama got -- but seeing history in college step make any difference at all this late -- I understand.
That the tax returns are recent history but the president he's 51 year old man and his contract it's I'm still perplexed and I want no.
I don't think it would and I'm not necessarily looking that the marks -- look at -- other things also and that would be what I would like to see but again any Romney group -- -- have to make that determination for themselves.
I think it's been a very dirty campaign.
It was a very dirty campaign waged against Hillary -- Obama and if you look at Obama's campaigning it's extremely dirty against everybody that's ever run against -- -- I think the Republicans had better be careful because.
What's happening to them -- same thing that's happening to other candidates that ran against Obama it's a very.
Did -- campaign.
And -- Hillary Clinton you know I've I've read recently where they consider Hillary to be one of it was what does that mean -- campaigns ever run against terror.
Well so far I think this one is even meaner so we'll see what happens but sometimes -- expression as you have to fight fire with fire.
And if he doesn't fight fire with fire it's gonna be done so easy.
What do you what how how is it going to be what's the fire back up President Obama on this.
Just think you have to be extremely aggressive and I think they will be but you know they -- a have a convention and the convention I believe is going to be very very successful.
There's a lot of spirit -- Mitt Romney and I think he's going to be really a good candidate and really.
A really good president now I have to say this if you remember back to the biggest problem he had was going into Florida.
And I always talk about because -- a big sports person and I always talk about people react under pressure -- people can react well under pressure and some people can't.
Mitt Romney went to Florida under great pressure unbelievable pressure he had to win Florida and it wasn't looking good.
He had to debate so he won both debates he did brilliantly about debates he had won -- state of Florida in a very very large I have very large number.
I think it's going to be very interesting but I believe Mitt Romney is somebody that -- very well under pressure there aren't too many of those people around.
-- -- ever -- left it is reported that we have as many as 141000.
Government buildings that are empty in this country and it didn't cost us a fortune just sitting there.
I know that you recently -- -- worked out some deal -- post office here in DC.
141000 dollars a 141000 villains do -- some advice for the federal government business advice what to do of the 141000 villains.
Well let's say you know real estate is my primary thing in life I love real estate and I would say certainly that they could be auctioned off feel see if they're good it's their.
Not good perhaps you can optional off but this is a time when.
Buying real estate is a good thing you can buy real estate people would like to buy real estate and certainly auctioning them off -- hiring good brokers to sell them would not be a bad idea now.
Also it could be that the government NATO's village up they need to -- she can't do that but.
If they're sitting empty and unnecessary probably the auction process would not be a bad what.
I'm curious whether some certain regulations are impediments because that would seem like the smartest thing to do.
Is that we have 141000 dollars let's unload them quickly and even -- have -- it takes seventy cents on a dollar or something or whatever.
It would make -- cents rather have a 141000 -- sit there.
Well it's possible there are regulations and it is regulations for everything in this country that's part of the problem the country has.
But certainly if there empty and doing nothing I would say auctioning them off would be.
Very much an interesting thing and I would be at the -- -- thank you -- here at the convention we join us on the record I certainly well.
Great thank you Greta thank you thank you Donald.
