PIRRO: Welcome back to JUSTICE. In Part 2 of my exclusive interview with President Trump at the White House, as anarchy and violence continue to burn many of our beloved cities to the ground, I was left with one critical question for the President.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

PIRRO: How does it end?

TRUMP: We're not there yet, but we have people that are very angry. You start seeing them, the trucks come in and this comes in and that, all of a sudden you're going to see a backlash, the likes of which you haven't seen in many, many years, because people aren't going to take it.

You know, a lot of people, this is all a left move and not a right movement.

PIRRO: Right.

TRUMP: A lot of people on the right are sitting home watching a television set looking at Kenosha and looking at Chicago where they shoot people and kill people by the dozens every week. It's not even believable.

But they say -- they look at it and they say, I'm not going to allow that to happen in my country.

PIRRO: Two questions, Nobel Peace Prize, congratulations. You've been nominated for something very significant, the peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, other Arab countries to follow.

I was researching Barack Obama in 2009 when he got the Peace Prize. Nobody could point to anything he had done. He didn't even have time to do anything.

TRUMP: He did very little in eight years and much of what he has done, as you know, I've terminated. I got rid of the individual mandate, which knocked out Obamacare. We took out the individual mandate, which is the single most unpopular aspect of Obamacare, it was a disaster. But that essentially gutted Obamacare.

Most of the things -- many of the things he did, we've taken out. One of the things we're doing right now, I just got to report, 311 miles of wall that has made such an unbelievable difference on our southern border. We're doing so well with that and immigration.

PIRRO: You think you'll get the Peace Prize?

TRUMP: I don't know. Look, I've done the job. We signed a transaction. There's actually going to be -- the ceremony is taking place next week. I hope you can come. And it's going to be UAE highly respected, the leader, Mohammed, highly, highly respected and Israel is signing.

This is first time in many, many decades that anything like this has happened. I can tell you that other countries are going to be signing on to it. We're going to sign a lot of countries in the Middle East. You might have peace in the Middle East going a much different route.

The biggest thing that impeded us was that horrible deal that Obama made with Iran. It was the worst deal. He paid them $150 billion, $1.8 billion in cash. How do you approve -- that's when I realized the presidency is very powerful, when you can approve $1.8 billion in cash -- cash -- big plane loads of cash going to people that they have no idea who it is.

So they did a terrible job and we're doing a great job. I think we can say that with great security.

PIRRO: Last question. Debates, two weeks. You're not doing the traditional prep where somebody stands in where Joe Biden does. How do you think he's going to do?

TRUMP: I think I'll do it the same way I did it last time basically. It's -- you know, sometimes like Romney was so bad on the debates and he studied for three weeks. He locked himself in a cabin. He was so crammed full of information.

PIRRO: He couldn't get it out.

TRUMP: When they asked him a question, he couldn't speak. Okay, he should have won that race so easily. But I mean, you were dealing with a failed President, because his first four years were total failure, Obama, but -- so, you know, you have to be loose and you have to be able to do it.

And the debates worked out well, for me. Debates have worked out well for me. I don't know what's going to show up with Biden. I mean, I see different guys. I see a Biden that really tied Bernie. You know, everyone thought he was going to be killed by Bernie and it was a tie.

It was nothing. It wasn't Winston Churchill, but it was fine. But I've also seen him in some of the other debates where he wasn't even coherent. He couldn't utter -- I mean he turned back --

PIRRO: How do you think he goes from incoherent to coherent?

TRUMP: I think there's probably -- possibly drugs involved. That's what I hear. I mean, there's possibly drugs. I don't know how you can go from being so bad where you can't even get out a sentence.

I mean, you saw some of those debates with the large number of people on the stage. He was -- I mean, I used to say, how is it possible that he can even go forward? And the only won because Elizabeth Warren didn't drop out. Had she dropped out, Bernie would have won Super Tuesday every state and you would have had Bernie instead of Biden.

PIRRO: All right.

TRUMP: But I like it the way it is.

PIRRO: Sure do. I appreciate your time, Mr. President. Thank you so much.

TRUMP: Thank you, Jeanine. Your show is great.

PIRRO: I know how precious this is.

TRUMP: Well, your show is great. We appreciate it very much.

PIRRO: Thank you.

TRUMP: Thank you.
