President-elect Donald Trump said during an interview over the weekend that he will not separate families who have family members illegally in the United States — he will instead give them the option to all be deported together. Trump made the remarks during an interview that aired Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” with Kristen Welker when the host accused Trump of separating families during his first term in office. “We don’t have to separate a family,” Trump said. “We’ll send the whole family, very humanely, back to the country where they came. That way, the family’s not separated.” Trump said that what will happen will depend on the family in question, as some may prefer just to send the illegal alien member of their family back to their country of origin. “We need deterrence. Look, ready? When somebody comes here illegally, they’re going out,” Trump said. “It’s very simple. When they come here illegally, they’re going out. Now, if they come here illegally, but their family is here legally, then the family has a choice. The person that came in illegally can go out, or they can all go out together.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE WATCH: Trump on deporting illegal aliens: “We don’t have to separate families.

President-elect Donald Trump‘s incoming border czar, Tom Homan, emphasized he will not be deterred by Democrat-led areas that refuse to cooperate with federal authorities seeking out illegal immigrants, particularly those who pose a threat to the community. During an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures” with anchor Maria Bartiromo, Homan said he wanted to “make something clear” to so-called sanctuary states and cities that are gearing up to push back on the second Trump administration’s plan to tackle the border crisis.

One officer could do that. But when you release the public safety threat back in the community, you put the community at risk. You put my officers at risk. You put the alien at risk.” Homan, who previously served as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), explained what he expects would happen under such a scenario. “You’re going to release that guy in the community, I’m going to send an entire team to go look for the guy in your community,” Homan said. “And what’s going to happen? We will find that guy. And when we find that guy, there’s probably going to be others — others that are not a priority. However, if they’re in the country illegally, they will be arrested too, because we’re not going to tell an immigration officer, like the Biden administration did, that you’re going to turn your back on a known immigration illegal.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Immigration officers have an “oath to uphold,” regardless of opposition, Homan stressed. “You are forcing us into a community at large numbers where other non-priority aliens will be arrested. That’s the result, the exact result you don’t want,” Homan said. “So let us in the jail. It’s safer for everybody and it’s the right thing to do to the security communities. What we’re going to do, Maria, we’re going to target, as I say, public safety threats, national security threats.” Looking ahead to the second Trump administration, which is set to begin on January 20, Homan predicted that his efforts will begin right away. He also addressed Bartiromo’s question about whether he expects the military to get involved. “We’re going to send agents out on day one,” Homan said. “We’re already working on targeting. DoD [Department of Defense], they have helped every administration. We would like DoD to help us in a lot of areas in transportation and infrastructure building, intelligence, and targeting. But a sworn immigration officer with immigration authority will be making those arrests.”

In a new interview, President-elect Donald Trump shared how he is taking an open-minded approach to health care after meeting with drug company executives last week. Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker about what he did with his pick to lead the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Dr. Mehmet Oz, his nominee to become Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator, ahead of his second term. President Trump: We have to get our chronic disease epidemic under control and make our country HEALTHY again pic.twitter.com/5o8XCCA8Vc — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) December 8, 2024 “I did something the other night that was a little unusual at Mar-a-Lago,” Trump said during the “Meet The Press” interview that aired on Sunday. “I called the drug companies. The top drug companies. And I called RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz and some of his people and I said, ‘Let’s all get together and figure out where we’re going, because we’re going to do a lot of things.'” He said the recent meeting, which reportedly included executives from Pfizer and Eli Lilly, entailed discussions about a wide range of issues. “We met for a long time and we talked about pricing and we talked about vaccines, you know, in terms of what happens. We talked about pesticides. We talked about everything,” Trump said. He added, in an apparent reference to Kennedy: “And I think a lot of good things are going to come from him. And he’s not going to upset any system. … He’s not looking to, you know, reinvent the wheel, totally. But, when you look at the numbers, we really don’t have a very healthy country.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Tackling expenses in the pharmaceutical industry is a top priority, Trump indicated. “We’re going to reduce prices because the middleman makes more money than the drug companies, in all fairness to the drug companies,” Trump said. “There’s a middleman that nobody even knows who they are. And you look at our prices, they’re much higher than the prices for the same medicine, for the same stuff.” Trump also dismissed the notion that he opposes all vaccines. He expressed support for Kennedy’s stated position for placing them under increased scrutiny, particularly when it comes to protecting children, and pointed out how autism diagnoses have spiked in recent decades. “I’m not against vaccines,” Trump said. “The Polio vaccine is the greatest thing. If somebody told me to get rid of the Polio vaccine, they’re going to have to work real hard to convince me. I think … certain vaccines are incredible, but maybe some aren’t. And if they aren’t, we have to find out.”

President-elect Donald Trump ripped FBI Director Christopher Wray over the weekend during an interview while discussing his new nominee for the role, Kash Patel. Trump made the remarks during an interview that aired Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” with Kristen Welker. Trump said that Patel is “going to do what he thinks is right” and that he supports Patel going after anyone who is a “crooked or a corrupt politician.” He added that he does not expect Patel to go after his political enemies. PRESIDENT TRUMP: If they think that somebody was dishonest or crooked or a corrupt politician, then I think [Kash Patel] has an obligation to investigate it. WELKER: Are you going to *direct him* to do it? PRESIDENT TRUMP: No. pic.twitter.com/qHrchMqCbB — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) December 8, 2024 He said that he would not direct Patel who to go after and that the justice system will run well as Patel works with U.S. Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi. When asked about Wray, Trump said that he was not “thrilled with him” because “he invaded my home.” “He invaded Mar-a-Lago,” he said. “I’m very unhappy with the things he’s done, and crime is at an all-time high. Migrants are pouring into the country that are from prisons and from mental institutions, as we’ve discussed. I can’t say I’m thrilled.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “And then when I was shot in the ear, he said, ‘Oh, maybe it was shrapnel,'” Trump continued. “Where’s the shrapnel coming from? Is it coming from — is it coming from heaven? I don’t think so. So we need somebody to straighten — you know, I have a lot of respect for the FBI, but the FBI’s respect has gone way down over the last number of years.” NBC: Will you fire Christopher Wray? PRESIDENT TRUMP: “It would sort of seem pretty obvious that if @Kash_Patel gets in, he’s going to be taking somebody’s place, right? That somebody is the man you’re talking about.” pic.twitter.com/dYQwfx5l5O — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) December 8, 2024

President-elect Donald Trump said during an interview that aired over the weekend that his nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, did not care about risking his high-paying job because he wanted to serve his country. Trump made the remarks about Hegseth, who is working hard to win over Republican senators so he can be confirmed next year, during a Sunday interview with Kristen Welker on NBC News’ “Meet The Press.” “I told him — so he’s making a lot of money at Fox, [his family is] doing very well,” Trump said. “And I said, ‘You know, if for some reason you don’t get this thing, you’re not going to be able to go back. And all that money you’re making, you can kiss it goodbye.’ He said, ‘This is all about America.'” “You know he didn’t say, ‘Well, let me think about it. Let me discuss it,'” Trump continued. “That’s a very big, risky thing he’s doing. When he goes and he says, ‘I’m going to give up, you know, millions of dollars in order to possibly become the secretary of defense,’ a lot of people would say, it’s a great position, there’s probably almost no greater position, but a lot of people would say, ‘I have to think about it.’ He said, ‘I don’t have to think about it.'” He said that every time he talks to Hegseth, all he wants to do is talk about the military because “he’s a military guy.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “I used to kid him about it,” he added. “I didn’t think we’d be in this position where he may be, hopefully will be, secretary of defense. But every time I was with him, he was fighting for soldiers, where he said some soldier was unjustly put in prison because they were really doing what they were taught to do, in some cases. So yeah, I think he’s going to do fine.” WATCH: Trump says he told Pete Hegseth that he was taking a risk by leaving a high paying job to work in government because if he did not get in he would not be able to go back Trump says Hegseth never flinched & he jumped at the opportunity because he said “this is all about America” pic.twitter.com/mKANyei5P3 — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) December 8, 2024
