Comedian Andrew Schulz did not hold back when asking Donald Trump about abortion, suggesting that the president's son, Barron, could be impacted by his father's policies.
The 40-year-old comedian sat down with the ex-president for an interview on his podcast released Wednesday.
The wide-ranging conversation included delving into Trump's Scottish heritage, the multiple assassination attempts the former president has survived, and Barron Trump's romantic escapades at New York University — where he began this fall.
The cheeky inquiry by Shulz into Barron's personal life was a jumping-off point for the comedian to ask more serious questions about Trump's stance on abortion.
And the way he asked it got Trump cracking up.
'Barron is 18, he's handsome, he's tall, he's rich,' Shulz begins.
'He's unleashed in New York City.'
'Are you sure you want to reverse Roe v. Wade now?' the comedian jokes.
Trump instantly laughs and cracks a smile.
Shulz continues, the laughs from his cohosts and a smile from Trump still apparent.
'I mean, maybe give him a few years,' he adds, insinuating that Barron may benefit from the controversial abortion ruling while in college.
Trump responds: 'Well you know it's up to the states now, it's up to the states.'
'I believe in exceptions and all of other different things,' the former president says.
'You've been vocal about that,' Shulz confirms.
'I think a lot of people agree with me,' Trump adds.
The ex-president then begins on a tangent about how Republican's abortion policies were politically perilous.
'Republicans were going to lose a lot of elections, having to do with a lot of other things too because there are many issues, we have the border, we have this we have wars we have everything,' Trump said.
'And Roe v. Wade was always about getting it back to the states,' Trump continued. 'Nobody wanted it in the federal government.'
'It's back with the states,' Trump says, 'where everyone wanted it to be.'
The comedian then dives into how the repealing of Roe v. Wade has opened up threats to IVF.
He then discloses to Trump how he recently welcomed a baby with his wife through IVF.
'I came out strongly in favor,' of IVF, the former president told Shulz.
Trump partially blamed Vice President Kamala Harris for painting him as anti-IVF, which he repeatedly affirmed he is for.
The former president again says he is for IVF and says the U.S. needs more families.
