  Speaker 1: I got a call from Katie Britt, who's a terrific
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: person senator from Alabama, and she said, so, we just
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: had a really negative ruling from a judge in Alabama,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: conservative judge that all of these clinics had to be closed.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And she said, and she went into great detail, and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: she said, people have devastated over it. And after literally
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: speaking to her for five minutes, I issued an order,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: really an order in a sense, and it was a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: statement from the Republican Party that we are all for
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: IVF and fertilization. Okay, the Alabama Legislature met the following
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: day and passed it. It was a beautiful thing to see.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And I considered myself to be the father of IVF
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: in a certain way.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And debate grows as IVF plan meets resists stance lawmakers'
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: way priorities with looming tax cuts.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: And she said, so, we just had a really negative
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: ruling from a judge in Alabama, conservative judge that all
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of these clinics had to be closed. And she said,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and she went into great detail, and she said, people
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: have devastated over it. And after literally speaking to her
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: for five minutes, I issued an order, really an order
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in a sense. And it was a statement from the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Republican Party that we are all for IVF and fertilization. Okay.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: The Alabama Legislature met the following day and passed it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It was a beautiful thing to see. And I consider
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: myself to be the father of IVF in a certain way.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people hear that and they
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: get concerned about Medicare and social security.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: And and.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: You won't touch Medicare social security.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: No, I said to people, We're not touching social security
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: other than we make it more efficient. But the people
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: are going to get what they getting. Okay, So the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: entitlements we're not raising, and we're not raising ages or
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: any of that stuff. Off the tap won't do it. Okay.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Let's turn to foreign policy. Should Ukraine prepare for less
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: aid from the United States after you're.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Swig into office.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Probably sure, you've said you can end the war and
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: we're in for.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Three hundred and fifty billion and Europe is in for
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: one hundred billion. Why is in Europe in for the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: same as us. The one thing that should happen is
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that Europe should come in for they should equalize. And
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you know, Biden only had to do it like I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: did with it NATO. I said, you got to pay
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: your bills.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you about January sixth in a different capacity. Okay,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I think you're going to want to answer this question.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: You promised to pardon those who attack the capital on
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: January sixth? Are you still vowing to follow through with
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: that problem?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: We're looking at it right now. Most likely, Well, those
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: people have suffered long and hard, and there may be
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: some exceptions to it. I have to look. But you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: if somebody was radical crazy, there might be some people
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: from Antifa there. I don't know, you know, because those
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: people seem to be in good shape. Whatever happened to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: scaffold man, you know who scaffold man were. He stood
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: in a scaffold telling everybody to go, and nothing happened
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: How do you make sure that these CEOs, that these
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: companies don't in fact pass on the cost of tariffs
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to their consumers.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: They cost Americans nothing. They made a great economy for us.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They also solve another problem if we were going to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: have problems having to do with wars and having to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: do with other things tariffs. I have stopped wars with
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: tariffs by saying you guys want to fight, it's great,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: but both of you are going to pay tariffs to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the United States at one hundred percent, and they have
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: many purposes tariffs if properly used. I don't say you
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: use them like a madman. I say properly used. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: want to have better health care for less money, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: there are ways of doing it, I believe, and I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: have the smartest people in that world. It's a separate
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: world unto itself. I have the smartest people in that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: world looking at it and trying, and if they come
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: up with something, I will present it. Now. Maybe you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: won't be able to sell it. But if we get
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: better health care for less money, I believe it's very sales,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: just very quickly.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: When will we see your fully developed plan, you will.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you'll see it at all. I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: can only say that we have some of the best
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: healthcare people. I've always tinkered with it. I think it's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a little hard to explain. Obamacare when I took it over,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: was a disaster, and I made it when I use TikTok,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: so I can't really you know, I can't totally hate it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It was very effective, but I will say this. If
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you do do that, something else is going to come
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: along and take its place, and maybe that's not fair
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. And really what the judge actually said
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: was that you can't have Chinese companies. In other words,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: they have the right to band it if you can
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: prove that the Chinese companies own it. That's what the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: judge asked.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Are you going to try to tech TikTok just very
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: quick once you're in office.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try and make it so that other
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: companies don't become an even bigger monopoly.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: You are now proposing tariffs against the United States three
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: biggest trading partners. Economists of all stripes say that ultimately
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: consumers pay the price of terifts.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I don't believe.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Can you guarantee American families won't pay more?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee tomorrow, but I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: can say that if you look at my just pre COVID,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: we had the greatest economy in the history of our country,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and I had a lot of tariffs on a lot
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: of different countries, but in particular China. We took in
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of dollars and we had no inflation.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: In fact, when I handed it over, they didn't have
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: inflation for a year and a half.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about mass deportation, one of your big agenda items.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You've talked about prioritizing people who have criminal histories. Correct,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: but is it your plan to deport everyone who is
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: here illegally over the next four years.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I think you have to do it, and it's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a very tough thing to do. It's but you have
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to have you know, you have rules, regulations law as
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they came in illegally. You know, the people that have
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: been treated very unfairly are the people that have been
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: online for ten years to come into the country. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we're going to make it very easy for people to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: come in in terms of they have to pass the test.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: They have to be able to tell you what the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: statue of liberty is. They have to tell you a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: little bit about our country. They have to love our country.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: They can't come out of prisons. We don't want people
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that are in for murder.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: But now that President Biden has pardoned his son Hunter,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: are you reconsidering might you pardon yourself?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't do anything wrong. I was given the option
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and the lawyers told me very specific law. I don't
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: have to go into who, but very high up in
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the in the administration said, sir, if you pardon yourself,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you're going to look guilty and you did nothing wrong.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Oh I had that option. I couldn't saved myself a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: lot of legal fees. But it turned out that I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: was right. Look at what's gone on.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: We asked you about another aspect of the economy, sir,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the minimum wage. The federal minimum wage has been seven
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to twenty five since two thousand and nine. There are
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: twenty states that still have the federal minimum wage at
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: seven twenty five. And I actually have a map. Nineteen
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: of these states actually voted for you, sir, and you
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: can right it right here. I don't know if you
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: remember this, but during the debate in twenty twenty, I
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: asked you if you would raise the minimum wage. You
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: said you would consider it. And so my question for
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: you is now that you are going back to the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: White House for these nineteen states that voted for you,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: are you going to raise the fact it's a very
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: low number.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I will agree it's a very low number. Let me
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: give you the downside though, in California that raise it
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: up to a very high number.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you about another group of people, the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: estimated four million families in America who have mixed immigration status.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: So I'm talking about parents who might be here illegally,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: but the kids are here legally.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Your borders are talking about separation.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean there are two aspects to this. Your
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: border Zaar tom Homan said, they can be deported together.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Is that the plan?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: That way you keep the well, I don't want to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: be breaking up families. So the only way you don't
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: break up the family is you keep them together, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you have to send them all back. I've watched him
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: for twenty five years and he's been an interesting guy.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Elon Musk, another interesting.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Person, very interesting.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Last month, one of your allies said, quote, he's behaving
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: as if he's a co president. Will you favor Elon
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Musk over other leaders of competitor companies like Jeff Bezos,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Mary Bara.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos called me. We're having dinner. As you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Mark Zuckelberg came in. We had a really nice dinner.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: He has to have dinner. I had dinner with him.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I'm having dinner with everybody. People like me. Now you
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: know it's something going on that people. I said, would
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you have come to dinner with me if I she
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: was always being excoriated, and I said to my kids,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: don't come in. Don't come in.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: It's just you said to them. I said to him, yeah,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: but will you miss having them there?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Will it feel? I'll tell you what, I'll miss them?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And they're really competent. But I say, just go have fun,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: do your business, do whatever you want to do, but
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: don't come in. Because no matter what they did, they
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: did such a great job. Although I have to say
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Lara did a phenomenal job as the head of the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Republican National Committee along with Michael.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: What can people expect from the first lady in this
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: second administration? What role will she play? She obviously had
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: her be Best kid.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: She's very liked, loved, and she's very respected, and she's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a very solid person, and she devotes a lot of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: time to helping children. You know what she does, and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: she's got her be best deal. That is incredible what
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: she's done. Saw that just prior to COVID coming in,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I had poles that were a high anyone McLachlin and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Fabrizio said George Washington and Abraham Lincoln if they came
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: back from the dead and they ran as president and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: vice president, couldn't beat you, sir. We were doing so well,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and I was getting along with the left. Let's call
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it the left wivingice. Okay, we're just going to call it.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: But I was getting along with people that you would
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: consider liberal or progressive as they like to say, at
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: levels that I never thought it was possible. And you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: know what it was success. Success was bringing the country together,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and that's what I want to do.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: We'll leave it there unless you'd like to say anything more.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Thank you very much for the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: honor for the first interview you, thank.

  Speaker 2: We talked about this on the campaign trail IVF. You
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: promised free IVF for all who won it, either through
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the government or through mandates with insurance companies. I've been
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: hearing from Republican senator some of them who say they're
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: not going to support that plan. How are you going
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: to get that passed?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Well, we're going to see. We want them to put
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: ideally the insurance companies to pay for it. The fertilization.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I came out very early for Republican especially, and I
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: think they were looking for my guidance, my great wisdom, right,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: they were looking for it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: You've promised to end birthright citizenship on day one. Is
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: that still your plan?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: The fourteenth Amendment though, says that quote, all persons born
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: in the United States are citizens. Can you get around
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the fourteenth Amendment with.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: An executive change or maybe have to go back to
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the people. But we have to end it with the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: only country that has.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: It through an executive action.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: You know, we're the only country that has it. You know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: if somebody sets a foot, just a foot, one foot,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you don't need to on our land. Congratulations, you are
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: now a citizen of the United States of America. Yes,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: we're going to end that because it's ridiculous executive action. Well,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: if we can through executive action. I was going to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: do it through executive action, but then we had a
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: fixed COVID first. To be honest with you, we have
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to end it. It's ridiculous. General, we're the only country
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: in the world that has it.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Y
