BACK TO YOU GUYS.
WILL: THANKS, JONATHAN.
RACHEL: WELL, LET’S BRING IN
ERIC TRUMP, THE SON OF FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND EXECUTIVE
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE TRUMP
ORGANIZATION.
ERIC, GOOD MORNING, WELCOME TO
"FOX & friends."
JUST GIVE US YOUR TAKE ON WHAT’S
BEEN GOING ON.
THIS MUST BE SO I TUMULTUOUS IN
YOUR FAMILY, AND IT MUST FEEL
LIKE JUST A LOT OF INJUSTICE.
>> LISTEN, RACHEL, WE’RE PRETTY
WORK-HARDENED AT THIS POINT,
RIGHT?
WE’VE BEEN ATTACKED FROM MOMENT
NUMBER ONE.
I’LL NEVER FORGET WHEN HILLARY
CALLED TO CONCEALED TO MY
FATHER, I WAS RIGHT THERE --
CONCEDE IS.
AND IT WAS WITHIN MINUTES "THE
WASHINGTON POST" COMES OUT AND
SAYS THIS IS WHEN THE
IMPEACHMENT OF DONALD TRUMP
BEGIN CANS, RIGHT?
THIS IS TEN MINUTES AFTER
HILLARY CALLED TO CONCEDE.
GUYS, THIS WAS THE PLAN THE
ENTIRE TIME.
THEY’RE NOT BASHFUL ABOUT IT.
THEY’VE ADMITTED IT.
AL HAVE YOU BEEN BRAGG IS OUT
THERE -- ALVIN BRAGG IS OUT
THERE ON TV SAYING I’VE GONE
AFTER TRUMP A HUNDRED TIMES, I
WENT AFTER HIS ADMINISTRATION,
HIS FAMILY.
YOU HAVE OTHER PROSECUTORS IN
NEW YORK, LEETY SHAH JAMES, I’M
GOING TO THE SUE THE HELL OUT OF
HIM.
THIS ISN’T AFTER THE FACT WHEN
HAY KNEW SOMETHING OR THOUGHT
THEY KNEW SOMETHING, THIS WAS
DURING THE CAMPAIGN WHERE
THEY’RE NOT ACTUALLY SITTING IN
THE SEAT, WHERE THEY HAVE NO
INSIDE INFORMATION, WHERE THEY
HAVE NO RELEVANT FACTS X. THEY
CAMPAIGNED AND FUNDRAISED OFF OF
GOING AFTER MY FATHER AND TAKING
HIM DOWN.
NOW, YOU GUYS LIVE IN NEW YORK,
I USED TO LIVE IN NEW YORK.
I KNOW THAT CITY VERY, VERY
WELL.
I GO BACK TO NEW YORK AND I SAID
THIS OTHER NIGHT, YOU LITERALLY
CAN’T WALK INTO A DUANE READE
AND BUY ADVIL BECAUSE
EVERYTHING’S LOCKED UP BEHIND
PLASTIC BECAUSE THERE’S SO MUCH
LOOTING AND CRIME.
HOMELESSNESS IS THROUGH THE
ROOF.
YOU KNOW, LITTLE GIRLS ARE
GETTING SHOT IN TIMES SQUARE,
WOMEN ARE BEING THROWN IN FRONT
OF SUBWAY TRAINS, AND THIS HAS
BEEN THE PRIORITY OF THE
MANHATTAN D.A.’S OFFICE FOR SIX
YEARS, IS GOING AFTER DONALD
TRUMP.
AND THEY WENT THROUGH 11 MILLION
CORPORATE DOCUMENTS, 11 MILLION
DOCUMENTS, THEY DIDN’T FIND A
DAMN THING.
AND SO ON THE EVE OF MY FATHER,
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY JUST RUNNING
FOR PRESIDENT, JUST ANNOUNCING
HIS CANDIDACY AGAIN WHEN HE’S UP
BY 35% IN THE POLLS, THIS IS HOW
THEY TAKE HIM OUT?
GUYS, THIS IS A COORDINATED
EFFORT BETWEEN ATTORNEY
GENERALS, DISTRICT ATTORNEYS
FROM VARIOUS DIFFERENT STATES.
HAY COULDN’T GET HIM THROUGH THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
HAY TRIED DAMN HARD.
WE ALL KNOW THAT.
WE SAW THAT WITH IMPEACHMENT ONE
AND TWO AND ALL THE OTHER
HOAXES.
SO THEY TURNED TO THE STATE
LEVEL.
THEY TURNED TO THESE WEAPONIZED
PROSECUTORS FUNDED BY GEORGE
SOROS TO GO AFTER HIM AND HIS
FAMILY, AND IT’S A DISGRACE TO
THIS COUNTRY.
PETE: ERIC, YOU GUYS HAVE FOUGHT
BACK FROM MINUTE ONE, HOW DO YOU
CONTINUE TO FIGHT BACK NOW?
WHAT DO NEXT WEEKS LOOK LIKE FOR
YOUR FATHER AND YOUR FAMILY?
>> WELL, WE FIGHT, WILL.
I MEAN, THAT’S WHAT WE CO--
PETE.
WE GO OUT THERE AND FIGHT.
THAT’S WHAT WE’VE HAD TO DO
SINCE THE MOMENT HE CAME DOWN
THAT ESCALATOR.
WE’VE CONE IT AS A FAMILY, WE’VE
BEEN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL.
THEY WANTED TO THROW HIM BEHIND
BARS, YOU SAW THAT WITH THIS
RUSSIA HOAX.
REMEMBER, I WAS THE GUY THAT GOT
THE PHONE CALLS, DO YOU HAVE
SECRET SERVERS CONNECTED TO THE
KREMLIN IN THE BASEMENT OF TRUMP
TOWER.
I STARTED LAUGHING, WE’RE MAINLY
CLOUD-BASED COMPUTING, WE DON’T
KEEP SERVERS IN A BASEMENT
BECAUSE WITH BASEMENTS FLOOD,
WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE IS THIS?
THEY PURSUED THAT FOR THREE
YEARS AND, GUESS WHAT?
WE HAD TO GO OUT AND FIGHT, AND
WE CAME ON THESE SHOWS AND
FOUGHT AND MADE THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS WHOLE
THING WAS A SHAM.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE DEMOCRATS
IS THEY ALWAYS DILL DIG SO DEEP
THAT THEY END UP FINDING
THEMSELVES, AND THAT’S EXACTLY
WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE.
[LAUGHTER]
AMERICANS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF
A TWO-TIERED SYSTEM.
IF I WAS HUNTER BIDEN, I’D BE IN
JAIL.
IF YOU GO ON MY LAPTOP, YOU’LL
FIND PICTURES OF LAURA, MY KIDS,
THERE’S GOING TO BE NO HOOKERS,
NO COCAINE, NO ILLEGAL DRUGS.
IT’S GOING TO BE THE NICE
PICTURES OBVIOUSLY MY TWO
BEAUTIFUL, YOUNG CHILDREN, YET
I’M THE GUY THAT THEY’RE COMING
AFTER WHILE HUNTER BIDEN SELLS
FINGER PAINTINGS, YOU KNOW, FOR
$500,000 TO RANDOM PEOPLE ALL
OVER THE WORLD --
RACHEL: THEY RAIDED BARRON’S
BEDROOM, AND THEY STILL HAVEN’T
GONE INTO HUNTER’S.
>> YEAH.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
A BEAUTIFUL 15-YEAR-OLD KID WHO
ADORES SOCCER, THEY RAIDED HIS
SOCK DRAWER.
YET A GUY WHO HAS LAPTOPS, I
MEAN, GUYS, THE QUESTION I WANT
TO ASK EVERYBODY, THE WHOLE
NATION, IS WHAT PRODUCT WAS THE
BIDENS SELLING?
YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO, RIGHT?
WE’VE BEEN IN THE HOTEL WORLD
FOR A HUNDRED YEARS, WE’VE BEEN
IN THE GOLF BUSINESS, WE HAVE
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE,
RESIDENTIAL, RETAIL, A BUNCH OF
OTHER THINGS, PROPERTIES LIKE
MAR-A-LAGO.
WHAT PRODUCT WAS HE SELLING THAT
CHINA IS WRITING HIM A CHECK FOR
A MILLION DOLLARS?
WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER TO
THAT,ST IT’S KIND OF A
RHETORICAL QUESTION, BUT, GUYS,
IT’S INFLUENCE, AND EVERYBODY
KNOWS IT.
THAT’S WHY HUNTER’S TAKING AIR
FORCE TWO WITH HIS FATHER
OVERSEAS.
HE DOESN’T KNOW A DAMN THING
ABOUT OIL AND GAS.
WHAT DOES HE KNOW ABOUT UKRAINE?
HE DOESN’T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE,
BUT YET HE’S SITTING ON ALL
THESE BOARDS?
AND AGAIN, THEY’RE RAIDING
BARRON’S CLOSET, A BEAUTIFUL
15-YEAR-OLD KID IN HIGH SCHOOL,
AND NOT DOING A DAMN THING ABOUT
HUNTER.
PEOPLE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF
THIS THIS TWO-TIERED SYSTEM OF
JUSTICE, AND PEOPLE IN THIS
COUNTRY UNDERSTAND IT.
I WAS ON A COMMERCIAL FLIGHT
WHEN THIS INDICTMENT BROKE,
PEOPLE WERE COMING UP TO ME,
GIVING ME HUGS.
THE SUPPORT IS UNBELIEVABLE OUT
THERE BECAUSE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
THAT WE’VE LITERALLY BECOME A
BANANA REPUBLIC.
THEY MADE A MOCKERY OUT OF OUR
LEGAL SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY.
WILL: WE’VE TALKED ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENS NEXT FOR YOUR MAUER,
WHAT TYPE -- CAN FOR YOUR
FATHER, WHAT TYPE OF LEGAL
PROCESS BEGINS TUESDAY.
I’M CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR -- I
THINK WE HAVE SOME INSIGHT ABOUT
YOUR FATHER’S BELIEF ABOUT A
PROSPECT OF A FAIR TRIAL IN NEW
YORK.
HE SAID LAST NIGHT ON TRUTH
SOCIAL THE JUDGE ASSIGNED TO MY
WITCH HUNT CASE, A CASE THAT HAS
NEVER BEEN CHARGED BEFORE, HATES
ME.
HIS NAME IS JUAN MANUEL
MARSHAUN.
THE SAME PERSON WHO RAILROADED
MY 75-YEAR-OLD FORMER CEO INTO
TAKING A PLEA, PLED GUILTY EVEN
IF YOU’RE NOT, 90 DAYS, FIGHT US
IN COURT, 10 YEARS, LIFE IN
JAIL.
HE MEANS LIFE BECAUSE HE’S9 --
90.
HE STRONG ARMED ALAN WHICH THE
JUDGE IS NOT ALLOWED TO DO AND
DELETED MY -- TREATED MY
COMPANIES WHICH DIDN’T PLEA
VICIOUSLY.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE’S NO
EXPECTATION FOR A FAIR TRIAL
WHEN IT COMES TO ANY OF THESE
PRETRIAL MOTIONS OR WHATEVER MAY
HAPPEN IN FRONT OF THIS JUDGE.
>> ALAN’S A GOOD MAN.
I KNOW ALLEN INCREDIBLY WELL,
AND LITERALLY THEY TOLD ALLEN,
YOU TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT
TRUMP, GIVE US ANYTHING, GIVE US
ANY LITTLE BIT OF DIRT THAT
LEADS TO A CONVICTION OF TRUMP,
AND YOU’RE GONE.
GUYS, THAT’S ALL THIS IS.
THEY PUT A 75-YEAR-OLD MAN IN
JAIL BECAUSE HE SAID THAT, YOU
KNOW, HE WASN’T GOING TO
COOPERATE BECAUSE THERE WAS
NOTHING TO COOPERATE WITH.
BUT THAT’S BEEN THEIR GAME PLAN.
THEY’VE GONE AFTER SO MANY
PEOPLE.
JUST GO THROUGH THE LIST.
NOT JUST ALLEN WEISELING BERG,
RIGHT?
THEY’VE GONE THROUGH ALL OF US,
THEY’VE TRIED TO GET TO ALL OF
US, THEY WENT TO ALLEN.
LOOK AT GENERAL FLYNN, LOOK HOW
THEY TRIED TO DESTROY HIS LIFE.
LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO MANAFORT.
JUST GO THROUGH THE LIST OF
LAWYERS THAT THEY’VE ATTACKED,
OF, YOU KNOW, OF, YOU KNOW,
CAMPAIGN INDIVIDUALS THAT THEY
HAVE ATTACKED.
THEY’VE TAKEN 24, 25-YEAR-OLD
INTERNS, YOU KNOW, IN THE WHITE
HOUSE, AND THEY LITERALLY
BANKRUPTED THEM BECAUSE THEY GO
AFTER THEM, THEY SEND THEM
SUBPOENAS, THEY NEED TO GET
LEGAL REPRESENTATION.
I MEAN, THIS IS GAME THAT THEY
PLAY.
AND THAT’S WHY THIS, GUYS, IS A
COORDINATED EFFORT.
THEY ATTACK EVERYBODY IN THE
INNER CIRCLE BECAUSE THEY THINK
IT BENEFITS THEM, AND THEY ALSO
THROW LAWSUITS FROM EVERY
DIRECTION, RIGHT?
THEY’RE TRYING TO OVERWHELM A
GUY AND, YOU KNOW WHAT?
IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE A GUY LIKE
DONALD TRUMP WHO HAD THE
BACKBONE AND CONVICTION AND
STRENGTH AND, FRANKLY, GUYS,
FINANCIAL RESOURCES.
MY FATHER’S THE GREATEST FIGHTER
I’VE EVER SEEN.
I’VE NEVER HAD MORE RESPECT FOR
THE MAN A THAN I DO RIGHT NOW,
BUT THIS IS THE GAME THE
DEMOCRATS PLAY IN ORDER TO TRY
TO WIN ELECTIONS.
THEY’RE ABSOLUTELY VICIOUS, AND
I’VE LIVED ON THE FRONT LINE OF
IT FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS.
PETE: NO DOUBT YOU HAVE.
I CAN HEAR THE PASSION IN YOUR
VOICE.
BUT IT SEEMS REPUBLICANS, FOR
THE MOST PART, HAVE CLOSED
RANKS.
YOU’VE RAISED $4 MILLION IN THE
LAST DAY AFTER THE INDICTMENT.
YOUR FATHER’S, THE CAMPAIGN PUT
OUT A LONG LIST, A STATEMENT OF
CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS, HOUSE AND
SENATE, THAT ARE SUPPORTIVE OF
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP.
DO YOU THINK THIS HAS AN INVERSE
EFFECT?
DOES IT NOT INGRATIATE PEOPLE
MORE IN HIS WILLINGNESS TO
FIGHTSOME.
>> OH, THERE’S NO QUESTION,
PETE.
PEOPLE ARE PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW,
I MEAN, THEY ARE.
AND THEY REALIZE WHAT’S
HAPPENING.
IT’S WHY CERTAIN PEOPLE, I WON’T
MENTION NAMES, BUT WHEN THEY
WERE VERY LATE TO SHOW UP TO THE
PARTY, IT MAKES YOU REALIZE HOW
NAIVE THEY ARE TO THE ACTUAL
SYSTEM OUT THERE.
THIS WILL HAPPEN TO EVERY SINGLE
REPUBLICAN.
CHANGE THE NAME DONALD TRUMP TO
WHOEVER’S SITTING IN THAT NUMBER
ONE SEAT, AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE
THAT THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
ARE GOING TO GET ATTACKED AND
HAIR CABINET NEBS ARE GOING TO
GET ATTACKED -- MEMBERS ARE
GOING TO GET ATTACKED.
AND THEY’RE GOING TO BE THE
SLAND ORERRED, SMEARED, THEIR
GOING TO TRY TO IMPEACH THEM.
THEY WEAPONIZE THE LEGAL SYSTEM.
THEY’VE LITERALLY WEAPONIZED
EVERY INSTITUTION THAT WE HAVE
IN THIS COUNTRY, THEY JUST HAVE.
WHETHER IT BE THE MILITARY, THE
DOJ, WHETHER IT BE, YOU KNOW,
THE FBI, BIG PHARMA, YOU KNOW,
MEDIA, SOCIAL MEDIA, CENSORSHIP.
THAT’S THEIR PLAYBOOK.
SCHOOLS, HIGHER EDUCATION, LOWER
EDUCATION.
GUYS, THAT’S THEIR PLAYBOOK.
THEY WEAPONIZE EVERYTHING TO
THEIR ADVANTAGE.
GO OUT AND WIN AT THE BALLOT
BOX, BUT PEOPLE ARE SICK AND
TIRED THE OF INDICTING A GUY WHO
IS LITERALLY LEADING BY 35
POINTS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY
REALIZE THAT THEIR CANDIDATE
CAN’T WALK UP THE STAIRS TO AIR
FORCE ONE WITHOUT TRIPPING AND
FALLING ON HIMSELF.
RACHEL: YEAH, YOU KNOW, ERIC,
IT’S INTERESTING, I DO THINK
THERE IS A GROUND SWELL OF
SUPPORT FOR YOUR FATHER BECAUSE
THEY DO FEEL LIKE THIS IS A
POLITICAL PERSECUTION.
BUT A LOT OF IT IS THE ALSO
BECAUSE THEY LOOK AT WHAT’S
HAPPENING TO YOUR FATHER, AND
THEY GO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR
ME?
THEY SAW THE WAY SOME OF HIS
SUPPORTERS WERE SO UNFAIRLY
TREATED JANUARY 6TH, MANY OF
THEM STILL SITTING IN, YOU KNOW,
AWFUL PRISONS WITHOUT PROPER
JUSTICE BEING APPLIED TO THEIR
CASES.
SO TALK BRIEFLY, WE DON’T HAVE A
LOT OF TIME, BUT WHY THIS SHOULD
MATTER IF TO EVERY AMERICAN
WHETHER YOU LIKE DONALD TRUMP OR
NOT.
>> YEAH.
RACHEL, WE’RE SUPPOSED TO LIVE
IN A FREE COUNTRY.
YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE FREEDOM
OF SPEECH, RIGHT?
IT’S JUST THE NUMBER ONE THING
THAT MAKES UP OUR CONSTITUTION,
FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF
EXPRESSION, YET YOU HAVE
CONSERVATIVES WHO ARE GETTING
DEPLATFORMED, THEIR BUSINESSES
ARE GETTING SHUT DOWN, THEIR
BANKS STOP BANKING THEM, THEIR
WEB SERVICE PROVIDER S DECIDE TO
TURN THEM AWAY.
YOU KNOW?
THEIR BEING -- THEY’RE BEING
TARGETED BY THE IRS.
WE SAW IT THIS WEEK, YOU ALSO
SAW WHAT HAPPENED UNDER, YOU
KNOW, BARACK OBAMA WHERE HE’S
LITERALLY TARGETING CONSERVATIVE
ORGANIZATIONS USING IRS.
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE
WEAPONIZATION OF GOVERNMENT, AND
THAT’S EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY
FRIGHTENING.
WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE
GREATEST DEMOCRACY ON THE FACE
OF THIS EARTH, ASK WE’RE
LITERALLY TURNING INTO A BANANA
REPUBLIC.
I THINK PUTIN WOULD BE IMPRESSED
BY SOME OF THE THINGS THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE GOAL OVER -- CAN
DONE OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS.
IT’S WHY WE FIGHT.
BELIEVE ME, IT’S HARD TO FIGHT
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
WE TAKE ARROWS EVERY SINGLE DAY
AS A FAMILY, BUT WE’LL NEVER
BACK DOWN FROM THE FIGHT
BECAUSE, HONESTLY, IF WE DON’T
TAKE BACK THIS COUNTRY, WE’RE
NOT GOING TO HAVE A COUNTRY.
WE’RE GOING TO BE SPEAKING
MANDARIN.
I’M JOKING WHEN I SAY THAT, BUT
IN A CERTAIN WAY NOT REALLY.
RACHEL: I’M NOT.
>> IT’S AWFUL AWFULLY SCARY,
WHAT’S HAPPENING OUT THERE.
YOU GUYS HAVE COVERED IT BETTER
THAN ANYBODY, BUT THAT’S WHY WE
