Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Any president and the history of the United States of America has done and Mr. President, it's your leadership. You are the reason why the Republican Party is now the party of parents. We are the party of families. This is why, when Senator Cruz and I worked last year, we got every single Republican senator to sign on and say that they supported nationwide access to ivf. And just for the record, IVF is legal and accessible in all 50 states. And President Trump taking this action today to lower cost, to bring these issues to the forefront and to enact solutions for people working to start their families. I want you to know it's significant and there's more to come, but this isn't the only thing that you've done to prove that we're the party of parents and we're the party of families. If you look at the working family tax cut guys, he made sure that hard working parents were front and center in that legislation. You know, whether it was child tax credits being expanded and made permanent, whether it was Trump accounts that are going to change the game for so many parents, or whether it was childcare. So for decades, we have heard Democrats talk about childcare. President Trump actually took action on the affordability and accessibility of childcare. We know that one in four families say that they hesitate to have more children because of the cost and because of child care cost. For the first time, this man actually took steps to change the dynamics for hard working parents. So of the three tax credits that he reformed and the working families tax cuts, two of them had not been touched in two decades, and one of them had not been touched since 1986.

Cameron Kinsey
So.
- [04:47]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
So President Reagan was in office the last time anybody did anything about it, but you changed the game on that. And I was proud to lead that effort in the Senate. And so on behalf of moms and dads, on behalf of grandparents and sisters and aunts and uncles and brothers and people who are looking to expand their family, we say thank you. Thank you for all you do to support families in this country and make a healthier environment and an easier one for us to grow. The very most important thing. God bless.

Emily Maitlis
So let's set the stage, put it in perspective. Two weeks ago, as President Trump alluded, a leading US Drug manufacturer came into this room and agreed to do something none of us thought was possible, a most favored nation agreement with numbers again inconceivable. Last week, a leading country, a company from Europe, a global leader in the pharmaceutical sector, came to this office, made the same kind of commitment for most favored nation pricing again, because the president insisted on it and was persistent, and he alluded to the fact that he was calling Secretary Kennedy and me quite a bit. He definitely was with great insights into the process and would not hold back. But I think what you're seeing today is something even larger. It's larger because we're now showing that MFN is a tool that can get other initiatives going as well. We are revealing perhaps the most important MFN opportunity at all, because it's about procreation, it's about babies. It turns out that MFN is a tool for a lot of things. And it goes without saying that you get the drug pricing down, but lots of other business necessities become possible when that occurs. So Secretary Kennedy and I was a wonderful leader, talk frequently about family. I think the reason he's a great leader and president as well, is because they have large families and they. They take pride in the joy that it gives us. But many families, as Senator Britt alluded, do not have the ability to have children. But it turns out that it's about one in three families, a much higher number, that don't have the number of babies they desire. They're under babied. So this president committed to address that during the campaign, and he is delivering on that today in a way I don't think anyone thought was possible. We are opening the door with MFN pricing and tariffs that supported Secretary Lutnick with a new approach to make reproductive medicine more affordable for Americans. Now, I know what you're all thinking, and you're probably right. There are going to be a lot of Trump babies. I think that's probably a good thing. But it turns out the fundamental creative force in society is about making babies. It's about creating. And this country, the one that President Trump is leading so beautifully, has been a country of abundance, not scarcity. To have abundance, you have to address the fact that we had 3.6 million babies last year, which is beautiful. 3.6 million miracles. That's half a million less babies than we would ideally have had even to replace our current population. Building on the success of the last two weeks, our team, led by the head of Medicare, Chris Clump, who's standing over there, and Hernandez, have negotiated a spectacular MFN deal to reduce the cost of IVF drug prices by $2200 a cycle. That's nearly half of the price that it had been the most prescribed drug in this category in America, made by MD Serrano, is described over here. And you'll notice President Trump, these are discounted from $242 to $10. I don't know what the math is on that. We can't even calculate it. It's a lot. It's a. It's too high to calculate without a more studied approach.
- [08:29]
John Sopel
But.
- [08:29]
Emily Maitlis
But I give it up there because that number, $10, will apply for every American who earns less than $115,000 a year. That's 70% of the American people. The remaining folks who are able to make more will have to pay a tiny bit more. But it's still most favored nation pricing, no different from what the Europeans are willing to pay now. To make this deal happen, Chris Inma had to do something special. They had to actually not just get the drug price down, but get the middlemen to let it go as well. And Mr. President, we met with the middlemen in the past. They're now joining the MFN movement. I want to thank Express Scripts, Freedom Pharmacy, and then CBS Specialty Pharmacy because they were willing to stand up and do the right thing for the American people by answering the President's call and slashing their prices. Now, this announcement also encompasses a remarkable move from Marty McCary. And Marty McCary is, of course, leader of the FDA, but he's has ongoing efforts, efforts to accelerate their approval of innovative medicines that will further reduce the price and make this whole process more seamless for the American people. Now you're about to hear about a spectacular new program that's been alluded to. But one of the architects of that program, Heidi Overton, Deputy Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, is going to take us through the exciting details of what this is going to offer for the American people, especially those who are in the workforce. But first, we think you should hear from Libby Horne, Libby's EMD Serrano's head of fertility. She brings both professional expertise and a personal connection to this work. She has three beautiful daughters, and she has personally benefited from reproductive medicine that has shaped her family and her company made today spectacular MFM pricing possible. Libby.

Libby Horne
Thank you, Dr. Oz. Thank you, Mr. President. Today we gather on this national stage to celebrate a historic step forward in expanding access to fertility treatments for those who need it most. Mr. President, thanks to your leadership and the tireless efforts of your team, this is a momentous day for Americans who struggle but remain hopeful to build their families. Infertility is on the rise in our country. One in eight couples face infertility. This isn't just a number. It's real lives, dreams and aspirations of hardworking Americans. The teacher who goes to school each day, surrounded by children but aching for children of her own. The firefighter who puts his life on the line but can't create the life he wants at home. The consequences of these challenges can take significant tolls. Some of you watching today have given up or are frustrated because access to IVF treatments has been out of reach. That's why expanding access to IVF has been an issue of great importance to the President. He made this clear in his executive order declaring the administration's goal of supporting American families by enabling access and eliminating barriers to ivf. Today, EMD Serono is proud to help President Trump deliver on his promise to you. Thanks to your thanks to the President's leadership, EMD Cyrano has worked alongside distributors and other partners to help more families have access to services and innovations that are consistent with other countries. Through our partnership with the administration, we are proud to announce that Americans will have access to our leading IVF therapies for an 84% discount off lift prices. Thank you, Mr. President.
- [12:08]
Heidi Overton
Thank you.
- [12:09]
Libby Horne
Thank you for making this possible.
- [12:11]
Donald Trump
Thank you very much. It's great. Fantastic.
- [12:15]
Libby Horne
For more than 40 years, EMD Sirono has been a global leader in fertility. Our science was instrumental in the birth of the first IVF baby in the US and we've helped to bring more than 6 million babies into the world since then. Our purpose is to help create, improve and prolong life. That means discovering more medicines and bringing them to patients faster. FDA Commissioner Makary has made it a priority to ensure that Americans have access to the world's most innovative treatments as quickly as possible. To that end, EMD Serono is filing a new IVF therapy called Purgavaris for review under the FDA Commissioner's National Priority Voucher program. If approved, Purga Varys would combine two key reproductive hormones in synergy designed to mimic reproductive physiology. This therapeutic option could mean fewer injections, fewer co pays and lower self pay cost, all of which make a real difference in the IVF patient experience. In closing, on behalf of EMD Serono, I want to send my heartfelt thanks to President Trump and the entire administration for their leadership and vision in this critical area of health care. Together we will make a difference in the lives of countless families across this nation and uphold our long standing legacy of creating Life. Thank you.
- [13:46]
Heidi Overton
Mr. President. Thank you for your bold leadership that's allowed our teams to go far beyond what anyone thought was possible. On behalf of the Domestic Policy Council and Vince Haley here, we would like to also thank all the agency partners and the stakeholders that we worked with to get to the solution today that will make a real impact for families, specifically today's historic actions, four in total that you see are made possible by coordination of all of the White House team and seven agencies, many of who are represented here and their teams that have worked tirelessly as you described. Mr. President, the current system isn't working. Seven in ten Americans don't have coverage to IVF. They face high costs and uncertain outcomes. And there's intense demand for fertility benefits. 65% of Americans say that they would leave their current job just because of fertility benefits. So you asked us to lower costs and to fix the broken incentives in health care. In addition to lowering the cost of drugs by 73% or $2,200 per cycle, which if you missed it, most people require two or three cycles. So that's significant savings for families. I'm also going to briefly outline the new solution for coverage. This is a new fertility benefit option that employers can immediately offer to their employees starting today. This afternoon, the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services and Treasury will be releasing guidance that for the first time creates a legal pathway for employers to offer fertility benefit packages to people that need them, similar to how dental, vision and life insurance are currently offered. This will be followed up by a regulation. These benefits can address the continuum of fertility needs from the root causes of ivf, which Secretary Kennedy is working on very hard at hhs, to sorry for. Yes, it'll be a coordinated package that does not exist in traditional health insurance today. It'll make it easier for employers, including small and mid sized employers, to compete for talented employees. Currently, many small businesses cannot afford to offer fertility benefits at all. This is making it possible for them to offer benefits the same way that large companies like Amazon and others offer benefits. This is a pro family benefit expansion that will transform clinical outcomes by addressing fragmented coverage and care. I'm a physician by training and it's very important that we have high quality care. Fertility benefit companies are poised to offer packages that have reported so far roughly 25% higher live birth rates for those that seek care compared to those that don't have such benefits. They also report fewer cycles to achieve pregnancy, improved natural pregnancy rates through better care before you need IVF and reduced chance of miscarriages, a 21% reduction in miscarriage rate. Leading physicians in the field have also relayed that these types of benefits significantly improve the patient and doctor experience, allowing both to focus on care rather than navigating the bureaucracy. These impacts are very personal. Here with us today are my good friends, Congressman Richard Hudson of North Carolina and his wife, Renee Hudson, both have worked in public service for years, including Renee, for all four years of your past administration, Mr. President. And they struggled with infertility. Today they have a beautiful son who's their pride and joy. He's an amazing boy. But they also suffered multiple losses throughout their fertility journey, something that is very common. Unfortunately, too many people go through the hard, arduous process of IVF and still result in a miscarriage. So today, your option is not only saving money, it's going to improve the quality of care significantly. This new benefit option simultaneously represents the greatest opportunity to expand coverage of IVF that the federal government has ever taken, while also improving the care delivered. Additionally, and very importantly, it gives employers maximum flexibility to design benefits that are consistent with their values. Put simply, this new fertility benefit option means lower costs and more healthy babies. So today, this announcement, we are realigning the industry towards the simple metric of more healthy babies at lower costs. I would now like to introduce Samantha Bush, the wife of NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, who's been a leading advocate for IVF access and affordability after your own infertility journey. Thank you, Mr. President.
- [18:23]
Samantha Bush
Hello, everyone. My husband, Kyle and I battled infertility for over a decade before being blessed with our two beautiful children, Brexton, who's 10, and our daughter Lennox, who's now 3. But our journey was long and painful. We faced six rounds of IVF, multiple miscarriages, multiple failed cycles, and countless moments of heartbreak. We faced the rollercoaster of hope and devastation that so many families know all too well. Through it all, we held onto faith, each other, and the belief that somehow, someday, God would turn our pain into purpose. We also saw firsthand the staggering financial burden that comes with infertility treatments. Sitting in the waiting room of our fertility clinic, we overheard another couple quietly say that money was the only thing standing in their way of having their family. In that moment, Kyle and I looked at each other and we knew God was planting a seed in our hearts, a calling to take action. In 2015, that calling became the Bundle Joy Fund, a non profit foundation dedicated to providing financial assistance to couples struggling with infertility. What began as a small act of faith has now grown into something far greater than we could have ever imagined. To date, we've granted over $2 million directly to individuals, helping them pay for their IVF treatments. And we've celebrated the birth of 108 beautiful babies through our fund. Each baby is a living, breathing testament to hope, community, and God's grace. For every tear we cried, for every shot we gave, every doctor's appointment that ended in disappointment, Kyle and I knew there had to be a greater reason. This was God's plan for us to use our journey to advocate, empower, and be the voice to those battling in silence. Over the past 12 years, we've worked hard to raise awareness, erase stigma, and bring hope to the one in six couples that will face infertility. Infertility can be incredibly isolating. It can leave you questioning your faith, your body and your future. But it can also reveal a strength that you never knew you had inside of you. It can deepen love. It can bring couples closer together. And it unites people through a shared struggle. Our goal has always been to show others that they are not alone, that there is a powerful community of infertility warriors behind them. Today, seeing President Trump acknowledge infertility on a national stage is profoundly moving. It's no longer a whispered conversation behind closed doors. It is a recognized, validated struggle that so many families have to endure. His leadership reminds us that those in positions of power can make real and lasting changes for generations to come. Their willingness to bring this issue forward shows that they not only hear our community, but they truly care about us. Thank you, Mr. President, and to your family for shining a light on infertility and for standing by couples like Kyle and I. For standing by couples who only want to hear the words mommy and Daddy, who want to watch our children open their Christmas presents on Christmas morning, who want to see the world anew through the joy in their kids eyes. Your acknowledgement honors the power of family, faith and love, the very values that that make America the greatest country in the world. It's proof that when promises are made and promises are kept, lives are changed forever. Thank you, Mr. President.
- [22:17]
Donald Trump
Anybody else? Howard, would you like to say that word? I was hoping would say that. Bobby, come on for a second. What a job you're doing. Say a few words.
- [22:33]
Howard
Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for your vision, your commitment to our country. When my uncle was president, fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%, a replacement rate. In other words, the amount of fertility that you need in order to keep your population even is 2.1%. We are below replacement right now. That is a national security threat to our country. And we know why this is happening. And President Trump is addressing the root causes through his MAHA agenda of reducing endocrine disruptors, the exposure to chemicals that decrease fertility. Today, the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone is a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty six years earlier and that's bad. But also our, our parents aren't having children. Parents who want to have children do not have access. I have seven children. I feel that God has blessed me with that. And I can't imagine how different my life would be if I did not have that blessing. I want to point out also at this morning, Harvard University released a study that showed that the obesity rates have now climbed over 70%. And this again is for the same reason. We're flooding our, our kids. We're poisoning a mass generation, mass poisoning a generation of kids with chemicals. President Trump has instructed us to stop these problems. Root cause. He's also recognized that there are people who are injured, people who are not living their life to the fullest. And he's addressing that. Last week we made GLP drugs available at Most Favored Nation, and this week it's IVF. I want to thank you so much for that, Mr. President. I saw on an airplane the other day you said that you didn't believe that you were going to get to heaven. You're doing God's work here. You've made peace in the Middle east, which is beyond anybody's imagination. And now you're giving millions of Americans a chance to have babies. And you're doing this while the government is locked down by the Democrats. But this administration has not stopped working for the American people. And that's because of your energy, your commitment, your vision. And I want to thank you for allowing me to be part of it.
- [25:26]
Donald Trump
And he's doing a great job. And by the way, Kyle is fantastic. So what? He's got a lot of courage. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't care how. You and I would not be good at that. We'd go about 30 miles an hour, but we'd be safe anyway. So thank you very much. Any questions, please?
- [25:45]
Cameron Kinsey
Mr. President?
- [25:46]
John Sopel
You posted earlier today.
- [25:47]
Donald Trump
Yes, please, Mr. President, this is a major campaign promise that you made.
- [25:51]
John Sopel
It was a big hot topic towards.
- [25:52]
Donald Trump
The end of the election.
- [25:53]
John Sopel
You're delivering on that again.
- [25:55]
Donald Trump
I actually had a question for Secretary.
- [25:57]
John Sopel
Kennedy or Dr. Heidi.
- [25:58]
Donald Trump
Dr. Heidi, you said something that I.
- [26:00]
John Sopel
Thought was really important.
- [26:01]
Donald Trump
You talked about how this coverage option, this benefit option, gives the companies the.
- [26:06]
Eric Bolling
Maximum flexibility to design benefits consistent to their values.
- [26:11]
Heidi Overton
I was wondering if either you or.
- [26:12]
Donald Trump
The president could expand on that and talk about why that's an important thing.
- [26:16]
John Sopel
To understand about this program.
- [26:19]
Heidi Overton
Thank you. It's a great question. We think that employers are best situated to know what them and their employees want to contribute to in relation to their benefits. So employers are going to be able to decide how to cover the root causes of infertility, things like obesity, metabolic health and other things that are impacting infertility. And also if they want to encourage their employees to see certain types of doctors and they can work with providers that are identifying the highest quality fertility providers. And so it puts them in the driver's seat. And our view is that we want employers to be the ones that can make those decisions, not the government. Thank you.
- [26:59]
Donald Trump
All right. It's a very good answer. Yeah.
- [27:03]
Howard
Please.
- [27:04]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Mr. President, previously you did not seem to be bothered regarding Hamas cracking down on what you called crack gangs.
- [27:17]
Heidi Overton
Actually a couple of gangs.
- [27:19]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And today you issued a threat against Hamas on true social. What has changed?
- [27:26]
Donald Trump
What was said? Go ahead.
- [27:28]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
You said if they continue killing, keep killing innocents in Gaza, that if that continues, the United States.
- [27:36]
Donald Trump
I know. I said a strong statement. That's right.
- [27:38]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
They used to be gangs and now you're saying innocence. What, what made you think they're innocence now?
- [27:44]
Donald Trump
Well, I'm looking at what's happening and that was the deal that was made. And we'll see what happens. It's, it's calmed down. It's, it's a tough neighborhood. We know that. We have a commitment from them and I assume they're going to honor their commitment. I hope they do. And I know, I understand they brought back some additional bodies today. It's a rough deal when you think of it, right? Very rough. We have our hostages back completely. We were very lucky with that. But it's a, it's a tough, it's a tough situation. They brought back bodies today, as you probably know. But they also said they're going to behave. We're going to find out if they behave. If they behave good. If they don't behave, we'll take care of it. Yeah. Please. Following up on that CNN Fake news. Go ahead. In your post that if they kept.
- [28:37]
John Sopel
Killing people in Gaza, we would have.
- [28:38]
Donald Trump
No choice but to go in and kill them.
- [28:40]
John Sopel
So do you mean US Forces would.
- [28:42]
Heidi Overton
Go in and take you take out the.
- [28:44]
Donald Trump
I didn't say who would go in, but somebody will go in. It's not going to be. We won't have to. There are people very close, very nearby that will go in. They'll do the trick very easily. But under our auspices.
- [28:57]
Emily Maitlis
You also posted about your call with.
- [28:59]
John Sopel
President Putin today and you spoke about meeting in Hungary with him. Do you have a timeline or a date set for when?
- [29:05]
Donald Trump
I would say within two weeks or so. Pretty quick. Marco Rubio is going to be meeting with his counterpart, as you know, Lavrov, and they'll be meeting pretty soon. They're going to set up a time and a place very shortly. Maybe it's already set up. They've already spoken. And I thought it was a very good phone call. I thought very productive. But I'll be meeting with President Putin and we'll make a determination. Tomorrow I'm meeting with President Zelensky and I'll be telling him about the call. I mean, we have a problem. They don't get along too well, those two, and it's sometimes tough to have meetings. So we may do something where we're separate, but separate but equal. We'll meet and talk parties. But this is a. This is a terrible relationship the two of them have, and it's one of those things. I've seen things that nobody would believe, but this is one of them. So I'll be meeting. We're going to be meeting in Hungary. Viktor Orban is going to be hosting. And it's. That's really something. That's time. Last week, over 7,000 people were killed. That's ridiculous. And, you know, it doesn't affect our country. We don't. We're not losing people. We're not losing Bobby. We're not losing Americans, but they're losing Russians, Ukrainians, mostly. Soldiers, for the most part. Soldiers. And we think we're going to get. We hope we're going to get it stopped. I thought this would be because of my relationship with President Putin. I thought this would be very quick. And it's turned out to be. Who would think I did Middle east before I did this? We did a total of eight. Now seven, and now eight. And we're going to make this number nine.
- [30:52]
John Sopel
You said you posted that there was great progress.
- [30:55]
Donald Trump
Can you tell us a little bit about that?
- [30:56]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Was it a shift, improve his tone?
- [30:58]
Donald Trump
Was it something new?
- [31:00]
John Sopel
He told you.
- [31:01]
Donald Trump
Did he give you any message to give? He's talking about the whole president's election tomorrow. It just seems to me that, you know, look, it's only a field. That's all I've done in my whole life. I've made deals. I know about deals. I do it well. I don't think any president's ever ended a war, frankly. One war. I did eight of them.
- [31:18]
Emily Maitlis
Maria.
- [31:19]
Donald Trump
Right. And. But I don't know. Did Bush ever end. Do you think Biden ended a war? Biden started wars because he was stupid. But do you think Biden ended any wars? No, I don't think. I don't know of anybody that ended wars. I ended eight of them. It's going to be nine. I think we're going to have this one done hopefully soon. But I'll be meeting him probably over the next two weeks. First, Marco is going to be meeting, and the vice president, as you know, is very much involved. The whole team is involved. Steve Witkoff will be involved. Yeah, please.
- [31:49]
John Sopel
What did you tell them about the Tomahawks?
- [31:51]
Donald Trump
Did you discuss the Tomahawk missiles? Did you discuss. Well, we talked about. Nodded a little bit, didn't say much. But I do say to you, you know, we need Tomahawks for the United States of America, too. We have a lot of them, but we need them. I mean, we. We can't deplete for our country. So, you know, they're very vital, they're very powerful, they're very accurate, they're very good. But we need them, too. So I don't know what we can do about that.

Samantha Bush
Why do you think a second meeting with Putin.
- [32:22]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Why do you think a second meeting.
- [32:24]
John Sopel
With Putin now will yield different results?
- [32:26]
Donald Trump
Well, Alaska actually set a stage, and that wasn't very long ago, but it set a stage. You have to understand, I came into this situation. I didn't start this war. This is a Biden deal. And I came into it and it was a mess. It could have led to World War three, in my opinion. This could have led to World War Three. That won't happen, but it could have. So I came in, this war was raging when I left. This wasn't even a thought for four years. Nobody talked about. I spoke to President Putin about Ukraine. It was the apple of his eye. But there was no, never going to be doing anything like this. And this all went because of some really bad decisions that were made. And look what you have. You have millions of people dead. You have just a horrible, horrible situation. I'm doing it to save souls. That's all I'm doing it for. I'm not doing it for us. We have an ocean between us. I'm doing it also to help Europe. They want to have it ended, but they're unable to do it. I'm able to do it. So I think we'll be successful. We'll save a lot of lives. It should have been done. Should have never said this would have never happened if the election weren't rigged. This would have never happened. But it did happen and I'll get it stopped.
- [33:41]
Eric Bolling
Yeah.
- [33:42]
John Sopel
You mentioned a thirteen hundred dollar drug.
- [33:44]
Donald Trump
At the top of this.
- [33:46]
John Sopel
Were you referring to the weight loss drugs?
- [33:47]
Donald Trump
I was referring to Oz Epic or. I said the fat loss drug.
- [33:52]
John Sopel
So those are going to be $150 out of pocket.
- [33:55]
Donald Trump
They'll be much lower. They'll be much lower.
- [33:59]
Emily Maitlis
We have not negotiated those yet there. We're going to be rolling these out over time. The GOP category of drugs, which includes ozemic, have not been negotiated yet, but.
- [34:08]
Donald Trump
It will like everyone okay at any.
- [34:10]
John Sopel
Timeline on the, on those negotiations.
- [34:12]
Donald Trump
But I think those are going to come down pretty fast and we do have, I guess, some.
- [34:16]
Emily Maitlis
The president will be happy with the result. And until he is, we're not going to close those negotiations.
- [34:21]
Donald Trump
Except it'll happen. What's your message to pro life conservatives?
- [34:26]
Heidi Overton
To pro life conservatives have religious objections to IVF and are already critical of this policy. What's your message to them?
- [34:32]
Donald Trump
I don't know about the views of that. I'm just looking to do something because, you know, pro life, I think this is very pro life. This is. You can't get more pro life than this. Please.
- [34:43]
Samantha Bush
Mr. President, you've been talking about how.
- [34:45]
Heidi Overton
This new benefit plan will also include.
- [34:48]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Root cause treatments for infertility. How we make sure that those root.
- [34:51]
Heidi Overton
Cause treatments are equally accessible to ivf.
- [34:54]
Donald Trump
Well, I think we're going to be doing that. Would you like to. Would anybody like to talk about that subject, please?
- [35:00]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Making process. I think it's the determination again, Secretary of Labor. The determination the Department of Labor is issuing their intent today to open up the rulemaking process again for more flexibility. Any time that you have a president who's leading when you can offer more access to healthcare at a lower rate is a benefit to the American people and to the end user. And that's exactly what he's doing. And so you heard before that through the Q and A guidance that was issued today with the other agencies that will give guidance to our employers and the employees about what the flexibility of that is. And then again opening that rulemaking process for further determination of the access that can be had offered in those benefits for all different types of healthcare access is the goal of the Department of Labor.
- [35:46]
Donald Trump
Good answer.
- [35:47]
John Sopel
Thank you.
- [35:48]
Donald Trump
I like this better. They can do better than me. Yeah, please. Good job, Laurie. You know, you're doing a fantastic job.
- [35:57]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Thank you, Mr. President.
- [35:57]
Donald Trump
I shouldn't, I shouldn't tell. I won't say it that I will not say that she was recommended by the Teamsters. Can you believe it? And she's turned out to be a gem, an absolute gem. You're doing a great job. Thank you very much, Mr. President.
- [36:10]
Libby Horne
John Bolton, we can see your dealmaking skills apply to the government shutdown anytime soon.
- [36:16]
Donald Trump
Well, look, I mean, all we want to do is just extend. We don't want anything. We just want to extend live with a deal that they had. They want to spend $1.5 trillion on illegal immigrants and they want to destroy healthcare for everyone else. And it's crazy. It's crazy. People that are here illegally, they want to spend $1.5 trillion. So we're just not going to do it? No, we have to take care of our healthcare now. We're doing that today, and we're doing it with, you know, favored nations and most favored nations. Your costs are going to be dropping greatly. And I'm really good. I'm really happy that it's at the beginning of my administration because I did insulin and got it down to like $25, but it doesn't kick in. It didn't kick in for two years by statute, so it couldn't kick in. And I said, boy, I hope I win this election, because if I don't, somebody else is going to take credit for it. Bobby. And sure as can be, Biden said he didn't even know what the hell was happening. And he. And it was a hard thing for me to do. I got insulin way down. What was it before that? It was. It was just massive. It was impossible to afford. And sure as can be, because it was a statute, it couldn't have been earlier. I said, boy, this falls into the next administration, I better win. And all of a sudden, I watch this Biden taking credit for something that I did. And on other things, too, we had a lot of things kick in. So the nice part about this, this is at the beginning of our administration, so I think we're going to see the fruits of our labor. And I hope on our other situation that we've talked so much about autism, I hope we're going to see some very good results based on the recommendations that we made. And, you know, we have. We have time to watch those results. Just indicted by a grand jury in Maryland. Do you have a reaction to that? I didn't know that. You told me for the first time, but I think he's, you know, a bad person. I think he's a bad guy. Yeah, he's a bad guy. It's too bad but the way it goes against us, that's the way it goes, right? That's the way it goes. Will I what?
- [38:20]
Libby Horne
Have you reviewed the case against him?
- [38:22]
Donald Trump
No, I haven't, I haven't. But I just think he's a bad person. Okay, anybody else?
- [38:26]
John Sopel
What's the timeline for the IVF drug through the national commissioner priority review voucher? Dr. McCary, what do you think?
- [38:34]
Donald Trump
So, first of all, the national priority Voucher program says we're going to proactively at the FDA look for amazing treatments like this IVF treatment. We're going to reach out to the companies and if it's in line with the president's national priorities, we're going to put those drugs at the front of the line and get a decision out in weeks instead of a year. And so today we announced nine drugs that are going to be recipients. These are products where the manufacturing is.
- [39:01]
John Sopel
Going to be in the United States or it's meeting a large unmet public.
- [39:05]
Donald Trump
Health need, like a diabetes drug we announced today. Or it is a product where you're going to see an affordability phenomena because the prices are getting equalized in line with the president's most favored nation status goal. Well, that's great. Why didn't I have him speak? He was so saved a lot of time. Thanks. I'm not surprised. Yeah, please. Yes.
- [39:29]
Heidi Overton
Thank you, Chris.
- [39:30]
Donald Trump
So Senate majority, you need a Johnson to today said he'd like to proceed.
- [39:36]
Heidi Overton
With the bill which would put sanctions on Russia.
- [39:38]
Donald Trump
What's your thought? Well, we're going to see. He doesn't know about the call yet. I'm going to speak to him later. And it was subject to what I wanted to do. And so we'll see what happens. We may have. This may be such a productive call that we're going to end up. We want to get peace. We want to stop the killing. 7,000 people a week. Can you believe it? We want to stop the killing. So I'm going to speak to him and the speaker, Mike Johnson. I'll speak to them a little bit later and I'll tell him about this and we'll make the right determination. I'm not against anything. I'm just saying it may not be perfect timing. It could happen in a week or two. But it's at my option, as you know.
- [40:22]
Heidi Overton
Right, but did President Putin try to dissuade you from selling Tomahawk missiles?
- [40:27]
Donald Trump
Well, of course. What do you think he's going to say? Please sell Tomahawks? Is he going to say, please sell those Tomahawks. I really appreciate it. I did actually say, would you mind if I gave a couple of thousand Tomahawks to your opposition? I did say that to him. I said it just that way. He didn't like the idea. He really did like the idea. No, I said it that way. You have to be a little bit lighthearted sometimes, but no, he doesn't want to. Tomahawk is a vicious weapon. It's a vicious, offensive, incredibly destructive weapon. Nobody wants Tomahawk shot at him.
- [41:05]
Libby Horne
We ask you not to provide.
- [41:07]
Donald Trump
So wouldn't anybody. I mean, it's been in the news. Who wouldn't do that? Cnn, who wouldn't do that? You know, do you think he's going to say, I'd love to have Tomahawk sent my way? I don't think so, Maria. We have one of the great stars of television here, and she's an incredible person, and she's just an amazing woman who. She got it all. Right. She got the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. Right. You got everything. Would you have a question?
- [41:32]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Yes. I asked you why this was so.
- [41:36]
Donald Trump
Important to you, ivf, and why was.
- [41:40]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Autism so important to you?
- [41:41]
John Sopel
What are you trying to achieve?
- [41:43]
Donald Trump
Well, autism is like a whole different thing when you look at. It was 1 in 20,000. Now it's 1 in 12. If you look, Bobby, we have different numbers, but 1 in 12, 1 in 28, 1 in 32. There's a couple of different numbers out there, but it's one in a very, very different number than it used to be. It used to be 1 in 20,000. And that was. That was not that long ago, 20 years ago or so. And now they had something for boys, for. For babies, baby boys. It's 1 in 12. I heard 1 in 10, Bobby. I heard another one, you know, different lists, but when you think of that, it's not even sustainable. But there's something artificial when that happens. That's not like a natural. And then you have certain groups of people that literally don't have autism, and they're not taking some of the things that we're taking. So we're working very hard. And on ivf. It's just that I have friends, including Katie, that called me and they told me the importance of it. I wasn't that familiar with it. Now I think I've sort of become the father ever since I heard there was a bad decision in Alabama where a judge wanted all clinics to be immediately closed. Right. And Katie called up and you said you were pretty strongly attacked by your friends. That you didn't even know were involved with ivf, right?
- [43:02]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
People that had grandkids, people who had gone through IVF themselves telling their story. There are people who cope out there.
- [43:10]
Donald Trump
Tell what you did. When you heard from your friends, you said this was not. They almost became violent.
- [43:15]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Yeah, I told him, I said, Mr. President, we need you, we need your voice in this conversation. We need the directive, we need the strong support because there are millions of people out there, moms and dads, wanting to bring life into the world. And you had people, the chilling effect that occurred across Alabama. There were people that were in the middle of that process that had been praying to have a child and that was halted. And so the reality of that was very stark in our state. And so I was able to tell the president some of the stories of people, you know, friends and grandparents and relatives that told me what they had experienced and also, you know, what they were fearful of in the future. And the president very quickly acted, spoke with a strong voice and really led the way. Obviously, we saw Democrats continue to fear monger for the remainder of the year, trying to use it as an election issue with when actually IVF is legal and accessible in all 50 states. And President Trump very clearly said where he was on this, and he said, I'm going to make sure that this is more accessible and that it is more affordable for families coast to coast. That's exactly what he did. But it's that real life, those real life story, sir, that he responded to. And that's what people don't know about him. He cares. And when you tell him what American people are dealing with, he wants to do something about it. You have leaders and politicians that come before him. They want to talk about things. President Trump wants to actually make things happen. That's exactly what he did here. And I am so, so grateful, Mr. President.
- [44:54]
Donald Trump
I appreciate it very much. Appreciate it. So we will go back to what we're doing, working again with Marco and with JD And a few of the people on the war, and we're doing a lot of other things also. The economy is unbelievable. It really is. It's been incredible. And I think one of the great numbers that I've ever heard. Think of it, over $17 trillion being invested in our country. And when you think of, compare that to the last administration, but really compared to any administration, compared to any country, there's never been a country with anything like that that's in a period of eight months, then we're going to. We've already broken every record Possible. There's never anything even close. So we'll go back to all of that. Prices are down. Oil is down, down $58 a barrel. That's going to. We're going to be hitting $2 for gasoline. I think we're going to be at $2. And the previous administration, they were at 4 and $5. They were going up much higher. And then they swung back into my things, but they didn't swing back properly. They were very, very late. They really blew it. We had it really going in the right direction. They came and took everything out and, and, you know, it's incredible. I'll never forget, they lost control of the price of gasoline, of oil. They totally lost control, Howard. And then they went back immediately. Let's go back to Trump. But by that time, it was too late. And they didn't go back because the leases and everything else, he didn't. They didn't do what they had to do. They wouldn't know. They really didn't know how to. But we could be hitting close to $2 a gallon. I'd love to break it if we could, but we could be. And, you know, when that comes down, everything else and everything else has been coming down. Groceries are down, the price of. Of things are down. And honestly, the simplicity is if you can get oil down, it's such a big category, everything follows. So just about everything follows. We are working on beef, and I think we have a deal on beef that's going to bring the price of beef. That would be the one. One product that we would say is a little bit higher than we want it, maybe higher than we want it. And that's going to be coming down pretty soon, too. We did something. We worked our magic. But groceries are down and energy is down. Electricity is way down. We have the prices coming down for people. They were. They were abused for four years by the Biden administration. Thank you very much, everybody. We'll see you soon. Thank you.
- [47:32]
John Sopel
Guys.
- [47:33]
Cameron Kinsey
Thank you, guys. Thanks, guys.
- [47:38]
Eric Bolling
All right, folks, that was President Trump in the Oval Office talking about the program that they're unveiling. Dr. Oz was there. Robert Kennedy Jr. Was there talking about the IVF program. But while that was happening, very interestingly, John Bolton got indicted by a grand jury to the point where one of the reporters said, hey, did you hear Bolton just got indicted? He said, I had not heard that before. I had not heard that before. So kind of fascinating few moments right there. All right, well, we got some show left. Love it. He does love that.
- [48:06]
Donald Trump
4 o' clock hour.
- [48:07]
Eric Bolling
Our next guest says don't try to work with the IRS by yourself. Tax Network USA has specialists that take the burden of off your shoulders and stop the spiral before it gets worse. Here to tell us more, spokesperson for Tax Network usa, Cameron Kinsey. Cameron, thank you for sticking by while President Trump delivered those comments.
- [48:25]
Emily Maitlis
Remarks.
- [48:25]
Eric Bolling
Tell us a little bit about Tax Network USA and what services you offer. I know we've talked about it before. Specifically, yesterday was October 15, the deadline for the extension. Tell us what's going on.
- [48:35]
Cameron Kinsey
Yeah. Well, thank you so much for having me on, Eric. It's good to see you. Tax Network USA is one of America's leading tax relief firms. We basically specialize in helping individuals and business owners take on the irs, whether you're dealing with audits, whether that's back taxes, wage garnishments, unfiled returns. We have a team that includes CPAs, enrolled agents, experienced tax attorneys, even former IRS agents who really just know the tax code inside and out. They know how the IRS operates and just how to push back effectively. And so, unfortunately, the truth is, you know, the irs, we've seen time and time again, they don't care who's in charge politically. They've stayed aggressive. Now, we've seen that kind of lean back with President Trump when he got rid of 25% of the IRS workforce. But no matter who's in office, our job is just to protect hardworking Americans from just getting crushed by bloated, weaponized enforcement that we've seen in the past.
- [49:30]
Eric Bolling
What about that October 15th deadline? Now, now that that has passed, folks can still come to you, right? And it's not like game over, right?
- [49:40]
Cameron Kinsey
You're exactly right, Eric. Yeah. Just we say don't wait until it's too late. Don't stuff those letters in a drawer. Don't get too intimidated or too confused because there are professionals like Tax Network USA who can step in in your corner and basically act as a liaison between you and the IRS so you're not having to deal with them yourself. So, you know, we're not just here when you file taxes. We're here to fight for you. You know, too many companies during this process, unfortunately, they'll charge these hefty upfront fees when you're already stressed out. They'll give you cookie cutter advice. And then honestly, some of them will vanish when things get tough. But we've helped eliminate over $1 billion in tax that for our clients because we approach every single case with strategic and we approach it personally as well. We know this is your livelihood. And we're not just another service provider. We share the same values of the people who are watching this program, Eric. We want limited government, we want less bureaucratic nonsense, and we want to protect people from these weaponized institutions. And so that's really what we approach every single case with. And so we're on your side, we're not on there.
- [50:47]
Eric Bolling
So, so the way it works is you get, you get a tax bill, right? You know what you owe the irs, and if you don't pay it or you don't file, it keeps accumulating penalties and it gets bigger and bigger. Tax Network USA will help reduce the penalty, maybe even the principal. Yes.
- [51:03]
Cameron Kinsey
Yeah. So we make the tax prep simple and strategic. It starts with a direct consultation, kind of just digging into your financial pict, understanding your case a little bit more. And if you decide to move forward after that free initial consultation, we take it from there. We flag every single deduction. We can fix any error. You know, we want to make sure that your filing is clean and accurate. So even with this deadline approach, or deadline is here, if you've gotten those letters in the IRS or if you think something is wrong with your return, now is the right time to act for sure.
- [51:35]
Eric Bolling
Perfect. Perfect. Cameron Kinsey, always good to have you. I appreciate you guys at Tax Network usa. Awesome, awesome. Good talking to you.
- [51:42]
Heidi Overton
Thank you.
- [51:43]
Eric Bolling
Alrighty, folks. I had the opportunity to speak with Eric Trump earlier today, just a few minutes before the show. Take a look at this, folks. My next guest took the reins of a multibillion dollar empire when he was just 33 years old, navigating the worlds of politics and business, underlying business. He's the executive vice president of the Trump Organization and the author of this book right here. I'm holding Under Siege. My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation. Happy to have Eric Trump, the author, join us right now. Eric, congratulations. Topping all the charts, New York Times bestseller, et cetera, et cetera, in only a couple days on the box. Congratulations. First of all, off the top, Under Siege, That's a powerful title. Tell us about it. How did you get it and what does it mean?
- [52:28]
John Sopel
That's what they did to our family, Eric. They put us under siege. They wanted to destroy us. They want to destroy the mag movement, they want to destroy conservatives all across the country. They put our family, they put this nation under siege. They debanked us, they deplatformed us. They silenced us. They took us off of all the social media platforms. They gag ordered us every day. 91 indictments. I became the most subpoenaed person in American history for doing absolutely nothing wrong. 112 subpoenas. I was in a deposition every single day as they tried to destroy my father, as they tried to destroy our company. I didn't have constitutional protections. I wasn't in the executive branch, so they used me as their literal. But they made up the dirty dossier, saying that my father was doing unthinkable things, which was all paid for by Hillary Clinton. They made up, obviously, the Russia collusion hoax, saying that we had secret servers in the basement of Trump Tower, which was fabricated. They weaponized every ad, AG, and DA in this country, whether it was Letitia James or Alvin Bragg or special counsels Jack Smith or Fannie Willis and her boyfriend, Nathan Wade. I mean, they came after us relentlessly. They took my father off the ballot of Colorado. They took him off the ballot of Maine. They leaked all my tax returns, the irs, to the New York Times. They leaked all my father's tax returns. Pretty much all our corporate employees, all of their tax returns somehow found their way, you know, to the New York Times. They raided our house. They raided Mar? A Lago. They raided Melania's room. They raided Barron's room. They came after us in every way, shape or form. They put us under siege. And they were doing the same thing to conservatives. They were doing the same thing to churches. They were doing the same thing. You know, when people got passed up for promotions in this country because of DEI and because of Wokeness, they were putting our nation under siege. They were putting our party under siege. They were putting the loud voices under siege. And, Eric, when all of that failed, guess what? They tried to kill my father and Butler. And then they tried to kill him again eight weeks later at the golf course right next to your studio in Palm Beach, Florida. They did everything they could to silence our voice and take us off. And somebody needed to write the story. And. And despite all of that, despite the weaponization of the media and the DOJ and the spying on campaigns and everything else they did, we won. We won. That group right there won. This nation won. And this week, we have Middle east peace. And we've got so many great things going on, and it was a fight of a lifetime, but I had to materialize it in words because, you know, revisionist history in this country, you know, what the mainstream media would otherwise do. And I couldn't be more proud that it's number one book in the country right now.
- [54:55]
Eric Bolling
It's amazing. We'll get to Some of those other topics. But your father, he wrote the foreword in your book. It's fantastic. And he said, eric Trump, maybe, as you point out, maybe the most subpoenaed human being in the history of the country, besides me. When the deep state, the hoaxes and the witch hunts were unleashed on me and my family and many other brave people, Eric never flinched. Eric never once left my side, but stood tall, unshaken, unbroken. That was a very, very nice forward by the president.
- [55:25]
John Sopel
You know, I didn't know it was coming, Eric. I didn't know it was coming. And he wrote that. And they surprised me with it. And then, sure enough, I read every line of the audiobook. I would not let somebody read my book. I wrote every word of it, and I read.
- [55:37]
Eric Bolling
I can vouch for that, folks. I bumped into Eric when he was going through that process, and, boy, it's a grueling process. But I would love to. I'd actually rather hear you read your book than to read it. My side just. I don't know, having a Trump read it sounds really cool to me, but.
- [55:54]
John Sopel
Honestly, my father did the voice recording in the Oval Office, and he did the. So I didn't know about the foreword, and he obviously surprised me with that. Listen, he's incredibly proud, and he's incredibly proud of his family. And you know me, Eric. I mean, I've been on your show a thousand times, right? I never left that stage, not for one second. I was there every single day. I was in that fight every single day. You know, they were trying to take him down in Washington. They were trying to take me down, you know, as his proxy for the guy who runs every aspect of his life outside of Washington, D.C. they were trying to destroy us. And we won. We won. And now we have the First Amendment rights back and DEI is dead and Wokeness is dead, and all the nonsense, the disrespect of our national anthem and our flag under Colin Kaepernick, that's all gone. People are respecting this country again. We're no longer being used and abused. Our economy is flourishing again. We've got peace in the Middle East. I mean, everything is working. And so the siege and the arrows and the $400 million we spent defending ourselves and. And the fact that they almost imprisoned all of us for doing absolutely nothing wrong. I mean, they tried so hard to get my father. I mean, it's all become worth it. Every aspect of the siege. Our nation won. All of your viewers won. Everybody watching this right now, guys, we won. We won. The Fight. We have a better country because of it.
- [57:11]
Eric Bolling
That is the one thing your dad was wrong about, I will say. He said, I remember in 2016, maybe late 2015, 2016, running the first, he said, we're going to win so much. You're going to get tired of winning. We are waiting. And it turns out I'm not tired of winning. And congratulations to all involved. Let's talk a little bit about Gaza. This is, this is kind of interesting to me. We see the pictures now. It's devastated. It is going to be a massive, massive project to rebuild that. And your father is topping the list. I think he's the chairman of the board that's going to be involved in the rebuild. But will the Trump Organization also get involved in the rebuild? Because it's going to take people who know what the hell they're doing in the building business.
- [57:54]
John Sopel
I think we could probably do it better than anybody. But listen, that's not our place to be and it's not our fight, Eric. It's not our fight. And honestly, it would probably be inappropriate if I did get involved now. I want to stay as far away from politics as humanly possible. I run a company, totally absent politics, away from the political sphere, and I want to keep doing that. But listen, it's sad. As a builder, you see those piles of rubble, and it's just lives gone, lives destroyed. And obviously what's happened in Israel. And it's such a beautiful day that we have peace. And it's for the first time, Eric, in any real conflict in a very long time, you have both sides of the party commending the outcome of. You never see that. You didn't see that in World War II. You didn't see that where both sides were coming out and happy with the result. All of a sudden here, you see that on both sides. Everybody's happy. The whole region's happy. All the world leaders are happy. They wanted this conflict over. My father wanted death and destruction gone. You know, he was tired of it, and the entire world was tired of it. Just unnecessary needless death and destruction and lack of respect for one another. And it's so nice to see peace in the Middle east finally. This is exactly what he's wanted for a long time. And he was the only, only guy who could have gotten us there.

So before we move on, there's something that happened. I was watching this live and I was like, that is very fascinating to me. Can we, can we roll the sound bite? Roll that sound bite of the president of Indonesia subianto but I would like.

Donald Trump
To know English is in a region, not. Can I meet Eric?
- [59:43]
Eric Bolling
So he says, can I meet Eric? And I'm like, well, and your dad. The president says, I'll have Eric call you. Have you called him? What was that all about?

John Sopel
So I've got two projects in Indonesia. We did them in 2014, 2015. The most exceptional golf course by far in the country. An amazing place. It goes over these lava chutes, you know, on the side of a volcano right outside of Jakarta. And I've actually never met the. I've never met the president. And obviously, I think everybody in the country probably knows about the two Trump jobs we have the other ones in Bali, we're building a great hotel and that's going to start very soon. And I've never met the president and, you know, used to go over there, you know, quite a bit. And obviously we manage teams over there. And it's pretty amazing that he knew who I was. And, you know, it's. Obviously, I don't get involved in politics in Indonesia, but when I heard that, I started laughing. Can I please meet Eric? I must know the projects very well. And so now we're very proud of what we did in Indonesia. We've been there for well over a decade. And so I'm sure he knows about our very success.

Very quickly, E. I know you gotta go. You're pitching the book and it's awesome. New York Times number one bestseller. Very quickly, Charlie Kirk, give us. Are you concerned? I mean, the left has really been violent lately. Are you concerned for. For your father and for your family?
- [60:59]
John Sopel
Of course. Listen, I tried to kill my father. Twice the amount of envelopes I've opened up with exploding white powder coming out of it, Eric. Is nothing short of exceptional. Right? And they're violent people and they only send votes one way. They call us anarchists, they call us fascists, they call us all sorts of names, and yet they're the ones dressed in all black with sniper rifles shooting over college crowds and killing great people who have never been violent in their lives and only want to exercise their First Amendment right. And so, yeah, listen, that's price of standing on the political stage. You know, it's not a safe game. It's not an easy game. And yeah, there are definitely people out there that would love to inflict harm. As sick as it is to say, we gotta go.
