Latest / Sid & Friends In The Morning / Lara Trump | Fox News Host & Daughter-in-Law of President Trump Previews Tuesday's Consequential Midterm Election Day
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Laura Trump, she's on the show all the time, is
- 0:02Speaker 1: joining me again this morning. Now, it's been a while.
- 0:05Speaker 1: She went on a vacation with Eric. Very, very nice.
- 0:07Speaker 1: And she has a Fox show. She's very busy. Nice
- 0:10Speaker 1: to have you back, Laura. How are you?
- 0:13Speaker 2: Oh, well, it's nice to be back. I'm great. Thank you.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Always great to be with you.
- 0:17Speaker 1: We love having you, too. Thank you so much. How
- 0:19Speaker 1: the hell does your father-in-law do it? Let's have an
- 0:21Speaker 1: honest conversation, you and I. Does he ever call him
- 0:23Speaker 1: and go, Dad, aren't you tired? He goes, I'm exhausted.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Does he ever do that?
- 0:27Speaker 2: Ever?
- 0:29Speaker 3: No, he's actually amazing. And I keep thinking back, Sid,
- 0:32Speaker 3: to remember when they were trying to convince everyone from
- 0:36Speaker 3: the Biden White House that.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Joe Biden was in such great shape that he was
- 0:40Speaker 2: running circles around the interns in the White House.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to laugh because it's so absurd and ridiculous.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Yet that's actually how Donald Trump is. I've gone.
- 0:51Speaker 3: campaigning with him now for three election cycles, right? Presidential
- 0:54Speaker 3: election cycles. I can recall numerous times on the campaign
- 0:58Speaker 3: trail in 2016, 2020, and 2024, where the rest of
- 1:03Speaker 3: us were like dead tired. We're not the ones out
- 1:06Speaker 3: on stage doing the rallies.
- 1:08Speaker 2: He is.
- 1:08Speaker 3: And we still had like two rallies to go in
- 1:11Speaker 3: a night. He's amazing, and he's 80 years old, but
- 1:14Speaker 3: I really feel like he was built for this moment,
- 1:17Speaker 3: for this time, and I think he also understands the
- 1:20Speaker 3: importance of what's coming up on Tuesday, and he wants
- 1:23Speaker 3: to leave nothing on the field, nothing on the table,
- 1:25Speaker 3: and that's why you see him out all over the country.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he absolutely has. I mean, win, lose, or draw,
- 1:30Speaker 1: he's done more than any other president would ever do, ever.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Maybe that president will make a couple of stops. You know,
- 1:35Speaker 1: Black Jesus, Obama's a big deal these days. Boy, he
- 1:37Speaker 1: nauseates me. But You're not going to like this part, Laura.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I am personally holding you responsible. And I love you.
- 1:44Speaker 1: You know I do. I am holding you responsible for
- 1:47Speaker 1: North Carolina. I like Mike Watley. You served with him very,
- 1:50Speaker 1: very proudly. You did a great job at the RNC.
- 1:52Speaker 1: He's not going to win. Roy Cooper is a bad,
- 1:55Speaker 1: bad guy. If you were to run in North Carolina,
- 1:58Speaker 1: you would have beaten Cooper. So if Cooper wins, will
- 2:00Speaker 1: you feel badly about that?
- 2:03Speaker 2: Oh, my God. You're the other person who's given me
- 2:07Speaker 2: a hard time about this.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Really?
- 2:08Speaker 3: There's no one who wanted me to run for that
- 2:11Speaker 3: seat more than Donald Trump, of course. My father-in-law is
- 2:14Speaker 3: very adamant about that.
- 2:16Speaker 2: He is.
- 2:16Speaker 1: He's giving you hell. So I'm the second. If I'm
- 2:18Speaker 1: in the same sentence as President Trump, I'm on to something, right?
- 2:23Speaker 2: Well, maybe you're on to something. Here's the thing I'll
- 2:26Speaker 2: say about Michael Watley.
- 2:27Speaker 1: You're right.
- 2:27Speaker 2: He is a great guy. He would be absolutely incredible
- 2:30Speaker 2: for the state of North Carolina. Born and bred there.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Loves the state. I got to see him in action.
- 2:36Speaker 3: I was a co-chair of the RNC while he was
- 2:38Speaker 3: the chairman of the RNC, as you just pointed out,
- 2:40Speaker 3: in 2024. And he wants to be North Carolina's next senator. Listen.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Nothing is over until it's over. You know, election day
- 2:48Speaker 3: is on November 3rd. We have early voting.
- 2:50Speaker 2: All over this country right now. I'm going to encourage
- 2:53Speaker 2: the audience right now. If you have not gotten out
- 2:56Speaker 2: to vote, go vote and go vote early. Because if
- 2:59Speaker 2: you remember, Sid, in.
- 3:00Speaker 3: 2024, one of the things that we encouraged from the
- 3:03Speaker 3: party for the first time ever was. was early voting.
- 3:06Speaker 3: For a long time, Republicans felt like they had to
- 3:09Speaker 3: wait until election day. That was a really erroneous idea
- 3:13Speaker 3: because it did not give us the opportunity to get.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Ahead of the game.
- 3:18Speaker 3: And what we found in 2024 is when people went
- 3:21Speaker 3: out and voted early, then we took you off of
- 3:23Speaker 3: our list of people we wanted to get out and
- 3:25Speaker 3: encourage to vote. And then we went after the low
- 3:28Speaker 3: propensity voters, the people who don't always show up for
- 3:31Speaker 3: these elections, they are still operating in that same way
- 3:34Speaker 3: right now. So get out and vote early, vote early
- 3:37Speaker 3: in New York, vote early in North Carolina, in Florida,
- 3:40Speaker 3: wherever you are. If you have early voting underway, go
- 3:43Speaker 3: vote now and then encourage other people to get out
- 3:46Speaker 3: and vote.
- 3:46Speaker 2: That's how we can win this thing. We have to
- 3:48Speaker 2: get every vote out as though.
- 3:51Speaker 3: It's 2024 all over again. Donald Trump has said it himself,
- 3:54Speaker 3: vote like he's on the ballot.
- 3:56Speaker 2: We have to do it again.
- 3:57Speaker 1: I think he is on the ballot. For me, personally,
- 3:58Speaker 1: I don't care. He's on the ballot. He's in all
- 4:00Speaker 1: these states. And if these candidates do win, I'm going
- 4:03Speaker 1: to give a lot of the credit to President Trump.
- 4:05Speaker 1: I really am. But, I mean, there are some real,
- 4:07Speaker 1: he loves this word, your father-in-law, lunatics. There are some
- 4:10Speaker 1: real lunatics. This guy, Muhammad Abdul El-Sayed, I know they
- 4:14Speaker 1: talk about him on Fox every 15 seconds, I know.
- 4:16Speaker 1: But the truth is, he's really a bad guy. He's
- 4:19Speaker 1: a bad guy. And there's Tyler Frico, as your father-in-law
- 4:21Speaker 1: calls him, out there against Paxton in Texas. Now, I'll
- 4:25Speaker 1: be honest with you, okay? I'm not overly enamored with
- 4:27Speaker 1: Mike Rogers or Ken Paxton. I'm being honest. But, but,
- 4:31Speaker 1: compared to who they're running against, they're amazing. They're both amazing.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I mean, could you imagine in this country, people like
- 4:38Speaker 1: Abdul El-Sayed, Tallarico, we've already got that bum Mamdani here
- 4:43Speaker 1: in New York. This is a very serious time.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Well, and that's the thing that I think people need
- 4:50Speaker 3: to really consider.
- 4:51Speaker 2: If you're a person who's listening to this right now
- 4:53Speaker 2: and you're saying, hey, I don't know, it's a midterm election.
- 4:57Speaker 2: How much of an impact can this really have on
- 5:00Speaker 2: my life?
- 5:01Speaker 3: The people you just talked about, Sid, are.
- 5:03Speaker 2: are exactly what people need to be considering. When you
- 5:06Speaker 2: have individuals.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Running to be United States senators who cannot tell you
- 5:11Speaker 3: whether Iran or Israel is a bigger threat to the
- 5:15Speaker 3: United States of America, who can't denounce terrorist.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Organizations, we have a serious problem on our hands. These
- 5:21Speaker 2: are people who are going to be making major decisions.
- 5:24Speaker 3: On behalf of every single American. Yes, people in Michigan,
- 5:28Speaker 3: of course, because that will be their senator if El-Sayed
- 5:30Speaker 3: is successful. But he's going to be making decisions for
- 5:33Speaker 3: all of us. Calrico, who says God is non-binary, this
- 5:37Speaker 3: vegan freak who all of a sudden is trying to
- 5:40Speaker 3: convince people in a state where they have the most
- 5:43Speaker 3: cows and farming and beef production of any state in
- 5:47Speaker 3: the country, that he should be their representative. The whole
- 5:50Speaker 3: thing is totally insane. And when you have people who
- 5:54Speaker 3: are kind of middle of the road and you say, oh, well,
- 5:56Speaker 3: we kind of both have... similar ideas about how the
- 5:59Speaker 3: country should be run, just maybe slightly different ways to
- 6:02Speaker 3: get there. That's the old days.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Those days are far gone.
- 6:05Speaker 3: The way these people want to operate now is socialism
- 6:08Speaker 3: and communism, and they want to destroy America and tear
- 6:11Speaker 3: our country apart. Look at the DSA platform. These people
- 6:15Speaker 3: don't want borders. They don't want prisons. They don't want police.
- 6:18Speaker 3: They don't want to fund the Department of War. They
- 6:20Speaker 3: want to get rid of the presidency, the Senate altogether.
- 6:23Speaker 3: They want a completely different America. Go talk to people
- 6:27Speaker 3: in Cuba, Venezuela, the former USSR, China, North Korea. Ask
- 6:32Speaker 3: them how it's been working out. That will come to
- 6:35Speaker 3: the United States of America if these people are successful.
- 6:39Speaker 2: So, yes, it matters. Yes, you need to get out
- 6:42Speaker 2: and vote. Do not sit this one out. None of
- 6:45Speaker 2: these people should ever get a spot in the U.S.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Congress. Well said. They shouldn't even live here. They should
- 6:50Speaker 1: be deported to someplace. I don't care where it is very,
- 6:53Speaker 1: very soon. So here's my my fear. OK, I'm going
- 6:57Speaker 1: to take the worst case scenario. I remain optimistic, Laura,
- 6:59Speaker 1: that we're going to win on Tuesday. And I hope
- 7:01Speaker 1: we do. Trust me. And we should. But let me
- 7:04Speaker 1: give you the worst case scenario. God forbid we lose
- 7:06Speaker 1: the house, okay? And these lunatics are going to be
- 7:09Speaker 1: all over your father-in-law every day, impeach, impeach, impeach, impeach, impeach, right?
- 7:14Speaker 1: But people are saying to me, let me tell you something.
- 7:17Speaker 1: It ain't going to stop there. You know, how many
- 7:19Speaker 1: times has your husband, who's a lovely guy, I love Eric,
- 7:22Speaker 1: you know I do, how many times has he been subpoenaed?
- 7:25Speaker 1: Or your brother-in-law, Donald Trump Jr.? So people are worried
- 7:28Speaker 1: that if we do lose the house on Tuesday... That
- 7:31Speaker 1: these crazy bastards are going to come after the Trump family. Heck,
- 7:35Speaker 1: even a guy like me. Even Sid. He's on the
- 7:37Speaker 1: radio in New York four hours a day pumping up Trump.
- 7:40Speaker 1: They could subpoena me. There is that fear. Are you
- 7:43Speaker 1: guys dealing with that fear? If God forbid we lose?
- 7:48Speaker 2: Well, I think every person is dealing with that fear.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Listen to what Senator Alyssa Slotkin said about young people
- 7:56Speaker 3: potentially becoming conservatives.
- 7:58Speaker 1: That's right.
- 7:59Speaker 3: She wants to make their life so.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Frightening and such a living hell, they don't even have
- 8:04Speaker 2: the opportunity to consider becoming Republicans. They want to.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Threaten everybody to any level necessary in order to make
- 8:12Speaker 3: sure that they're aligned with whatever kind of crazy platforms
- 8:16Speaker 3: These Democrats, these socialists and now communists have put forward.
- 8:20Speaker 3: They don't want.
- 8:21Speaker 2: People to have the opportunities here to choose on their
- 8:24Speaker 2: own anymore.
- 8:25Speaker 3: She made that very clear. So I'm not just worried
- 8:28Speaker 3: about our family, my father-in-law. I'm worried about every single American. Heck,
- 8:32Speaker 3: it wasn't that long ago, Sid, where we had people
- 8:35Speaker 3: who were censored on social media, kicked off of platforms
- 8:39Speaker 3: like Twitter. for saying the wrong words or talking about
- 8:43Speaker 3: things that they decided.
- 8:45Speaker 2: We shouldn't be talking about, like something called a vaccine,
- 8:48Speaker 2: for example. If you even said that word, you got
- 8:52Speaker 2: shadow banned or kicked off altogether. So we don't want.
- 8:55Speaker 3: To go back down that path, and that is exactly
- 8:58Speaker 3: where they want to lead us.
- 8:59Speaker 2: So, yeah, I'm worried about.
- 9:00Speaker 3: I'm worried more so overall about the future of this country.
- 9:04Speaker 3: You know, we fought so hard. in 2024 to ensure
- 9:08Speaker 3: this country ended up down the right path and in
- 9:11Speaker 3: the right direction. And it really is all on the
- 9:13Speaker 3: line as we head towards November 3rd.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Next Tuesday.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Do you have a preference? And maybe you're not going
- 9:19Speaker 1: to say this on the air because they ask your
- 9:20Speaker 1: father-in-law this almost every day about bands. Are you going
- 9:23Speaker 1: to endorse bands? And out there, of course, is the
- 9:26Speaker 1: guy that a lot of us really want is Marco Rubio,
- 9:28Speaker 1: to be honest. But do you have a preference? You
- 9:30Speaker 1: don't have to share it, but do you have a preference?
- 9:33Speaker 1: If you want to share it, that'd be great because
- 9:34Speaker 1: I'll make news. Lara Trump loves Rubio. Do you have
- 9:38Speaker 1: a preference on who may replace your father-in-law when that
- 9:42Speaker 1: sad day comes and he's actually done?
- 9:43Speaker 3: Well, it won't be a sad day.
- 9:46Speaker 2: I mean, we're really living through these incredibly historic times.
- 9:50Speaker 2: I always remind people of this.
- 9:52Speaker 3: Don't forget that one day you'll look back and say,
- 9:55Speaker 3: I remember when Donald Trump was in the White House.
- 9:57Speaker 3: I remember when Donald Trump was president.
- 9:59Speaker 2: You know who's going to miss him? the most, Sid?
- 10:01Speaker 2: Are these lunatics in the liberal media. Because my God,
- 10:05Speaker 2: these people love a Donald Trump quote. They love the
- 10:08Speaker 2: opportunity to talk about him.
- 10:09Speaker 3: What are they talking.
- 10:10Speaker 2: About when he leaves?
- 10:11Speaker 3: They probably have no idea. They're probably terrified. But but listen,
- 10:17Speaker 3: I think the good news on the Republican side of
- 10:19Speaker 3: the aisle. No, I'm not going to endorse anyone. I
- 10:21Speaker 3: think Marco Rubio is incredible. I think he's been arguably the.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Best secretary of state the United States has ever had.
- 10:27Speaker 2: He has excelled at that position.
- 10:30Speaker 3: He's been really amazing.
- 10:31Speaker 2: And I think he's risen to the challenge at a
- 10:33Speaker 2: time whenever, let's be honest, there's a lot going on
- 10:36Speaker 2: that he has to deal with.
- 10:38Speaker 3: Obviously, he's in charge of our national security to a
- 10:40Speaker 3: certain extent as well.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Then you have J.D.
- 10:43Speaker 3: Vance, who was a bit of an unknown commodity. He
- 10:47Speaker 3: came into this thing, has been an amazing vice president,
- 10:51Speaker 3: has taken up the charge of rooting out fraud, waste,
- 10:54Speaker 3: and abuse in our federal government, heading up this fraud
- 10:58Speaker 3: task force, which.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Every American should be so grateful for not only ensuring that.
- 11:03Speaker 3: We are not just blowing our taxpayer money on.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Nonsensical things, but he's actually getting a lot of it
- 11:08Speaker 2: back in so many different ways. So, look, I think
- 11:11Speaker 2: they're all they're both incredible candidates.
- 11:14Speaker 3: And I think outside of the two of them, you
- 11:16Speaker 3: have a lot of other people who are serving.
- 11:18Speaker 2: In cabinet positions. who any of them could step into
- 11:21Speaker 2: the position of president of the United States and be amazing.
- 11:24Speaker 2: We have a deep bench on the Republican side.
- 11:26Speaker 1: That's true.
- 11:27Speaker 2: And who do they have on the left, Sid? Who
- 11:30Speaker 2: is the number one person polling?
- 11:32Speaker 3: For the Democrats right now.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Oh, Kamala.
- 11:33Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. I know.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Please, please, Democrats, do us all a favor.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Put her back in there.
- 11:41Speaker 3: Let's give her another shot. I would love another go
- 11:43Speaker 3: at that one. Nothing would make me happier.
- 11:45Speaker 1: I know. They're going to call me a chauvinist and
- 11:47Speaker 1: misogynist because I'm going to call her stupid. That's nothing
- 11:49Speaker 1: to do with that. There's a lot of brilliant women.
- 11:50Speaker 1: You're brilliant. I tell you this all the time. I'm
- 11:52Speaker 1: not going to gain points with you. You need to run, okay?
- 11:55Speaker 1: So in two years, when your father-in-law is done, you
- 11:58Speaker 1: got to run. You're great on Fox News, 9 o'clock
- 12:00Speaker 1: Saturday night's great. You need to run because you're brilliant, okay?
- 12:04Speaker 1: She's a moron, Kamala Harris. Even dumber than her is AOC.
- 12:08Speaker 1: And Ted Cruz said today, if Abdul El-Sayed wins, he
- 12:12Speaker 1: really believes in his heart of hearts that AOC will
- 12:16Speaker 1: be the Democrat nominee. Well, how about that?
- 12:20Speaker 3: Absolutely terrifying. Absolutely terrifying for the future of this country.
- 12:24Speaker 3: And by the way, there is nothing wrong with calling
- 12:27Speaker 3: people who are stupid, stupid. I don't care if you're
- 12:31Speaker 3: a man, a woman, a cat, a dog.
- 12:33Speaker 2: If you're dumb, you're dumb. And I'm sorry, there's nothing
- 12:36Speaker 2: you can do about it.
- 12:37Speaker 1: Oh, God, you really are a Trump. That's why I mean,
- 12:39Speaker 1: it's true. I mean, it's so silly that we have
- 12:41Speaker 1: to don't say that about this person because of their
- 12:43Speaker 1: gender or their race. If they're dumb, they're dumb. You
- 12:45Speaker 1: just said it. One of the reasons, too, before I
- 12:47Speaker 1: let you go, that you and I get along so
- 12:49Speaker 1: well is... You're very pro-Israel. Very. And I really wanted
- 12:52Speaker 1: Bibi to win. So did your father-in-law. And he did. Now,
- 12:55Speaker 1: he's not been able to form a government yet. He's
- 12:57Speaker 1: not up to 61. But he walked the competition. All
- 13:01Speaker 1: the opposition and all the people in New York and
- 13:04Speaker 1: Israel and around the country that hate Bibi and said
- 13:07Speaker 1: Bibi's not going to win. Well, guess what? Donald Trump
- 13:10Speaker 1: endorsed him twice. Sid Rosenberg endorsed him. And now he wins. Again,
- 13:16Speaker 1: can't form the government just yet, but a pretty resounding
- 13:20Speaker 1: victory for Bibi Netanyahu. That made you happy, yes?
- 13:23Speaker 2: Yes. No, I mean, I think it's incredible. And look,
- 13:26Speaker 2: I think the people of Israel also understand.
- 13:28Speaker 3: This has been an incredibly.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Challenging time the past several years for the people of Israel.
- 13:34Speaker 3: And they've had a great ally, of course, in President
- 13:37Speaker 3: Donald Trump in the United States, but.
- 13:39Speaker 2: In Netanyahu as well. And I think they understand that
- 13:42Speaker 2: he has their best interests at heart. He's doing everything
- 13:45Speaker 2: he can to protect Israel. all citizens there, and ensure
- 13:49Speaker 2: that the future is different. Because the reality is people
- 13:52Speaker 2: in America, I don't think, appreciate how challenging it must
- 13:56Speaker 2: be to live there and to exist there.
- 13:58Speaker 3: And the people there don't want to have.
- 14:00Speaker 2: To exist in perpetuity in fear of their surroundings, of
- 14:04Speaker 2: their neighbors. And there's an opportunity on the horizon right
- 14:07Speaker 2: now with our President Donald Trump and with Netanyahu there.
- 14:11Speaker 3: To change the course of history and to change the future.
- 14:14Speaker 2: And I think a lot of Israelis really appreciated that.
- 14:18Speaker 2: And so, yes, I was very happy to see that win.
- 14:21Speaker 2: I think he's going to do great things going forward.
- 14:23Speaker 2: I think he's already done great things, but so much
- 14:24Speaker 2: more to come.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. Last one. You're very athletic. I see
- 14:27Speaker 1: you on Instagram. You're out there in the yard. You're
- 14:29Speaker 1: doing all kinds of stuff. You're in great shape. God
- 14:31Speaker 1: bless you. But you still live in New York City.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Did you ever run this Sunday's New York City Marathon?
- 14:36Speaker 1: My wife Danielle's running it for the seventh time. Her
- 14:39Speaker 1: 41st marathon overall. It's amazing. Did you ever run the
- 14:42Speaker 1: New York City Marathon?
- 14:44Speaker 2: I ran the New York City Marathon twice.
- 14:47Speaker 3: And my best time, I almost broke four hours. I
- 14:50Speaker 3: came in four hours.
- 14:51Speaker 2: And one minute. And I got to do it again
- 14:53Speaker 2: so I can break four hours.
- 14:54Speaker 1: Oh, my God. That's a great time. That's a great time.
- 14:57Speaker 1: You got to come back and do it again. You
