"THE INGRAHAM ANGLE."

>> Laura: THE SANCTIONS ON

CHINA, THE TARIFFS, THE EXTRA

TARIFFS, IF THEY DON'T

FULFILL --

>> President Trump: I HAVE THE

RIGHT TO DO THAT BUT YOU HAVE TO

REALIZE, 25% TARIFFS ON CHINA ON

$250 BILLION WORTH OF GOODS.

I STILL HAVE THOSE.

BY THE WAY, REMEMBER, CHINA

DEVALUED THEIR CURRENCY AND PAID

FOR IT.

WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP

WITH CHINA RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK BADLY OF

ANYONE BUT THEY ARE HAVING THE

WORST YEAR THEY'VE HAD.

THE LAST YEAR WAS THE WORST YEAR

THEY'VE HAD IN 67, NOW IN 67

YEARS.

AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE A DEAL.

WE MADE A DEAL.

IT'S A GREAT DEAL.

NOW, IT WILL START AT SOME

POINT, BUT PHASE ONE WAS

IMPORTANT FOR BANKING.

YOU KNOW WHAT WE DID, WE OPENED

IT UP FOR BANKING BUT FOR THE

FARMERS, MANUFACTURERS.

>> Laura: CHINA THOUGH --

>> President Trump: A LOT OF

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

KOREA, JAPAN.

>> Laura: UNDOCUMENTED, NO ONE

ELSE.

>> President Trump: REMEMBER

THIS, THEY ARE ALL KICKING IN

NOW WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING COME

A HORRIBLE DEAL NO DEAL.

WE ARE GETTING $40 BILLION.

WHAT THIS WILL DO FOR THE

ECONOMY IS GOING TO BE AMAZING.

AND JUST A MONTH AGO, IT IS JUST

NOW KICKING IN.

>> Laura: ON THE HUMAN RIGHTS

ISSUE IN CHINA, YOU DON'T TALK A

LOT ABOUT IT BUT THE STRONGEST

SUPPORTERS, EVANGELICAL

CHRISTIANS, CATHOLICS FROM OTHER

PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT HUMAN

RIGHTS.

A MILLION PEOPLE AND REEDUCATION

CAMPS, CATHOLICS GETTING

MISSILES AND THEY PEWS AT

CHRISTMAS HAD TRIBUTES TO SILENT

NIGHT.

RECONCILE THE POWER OF THE MORAL

ARGUMENT FOR FREEDOM AND MARRIED

IT TO THE ECONOMIC AND MILITARY

ARGUMENT FOR PEACE OR STRENGTH.

CAN YOU DO MORE ON THAT FRONT

WITHOUT DAMAGING YOUR ABILITY TO

MAKE FUTURE TRADE AGREEMENTS

MORE ON THE HUMAN RIGHTS FRONT?

>> President Trump: WE ARE

MAKING NOT GOOD TRADE DEALS BUT

GREAT TRADE DEALS.

>> Laura: HUMAN RIGHTS

ACCOUNT.

>> President Trump: THEY DO

COUNT.

WHEN YOU SAY REAGAN, LOOK AT MY

WAS A BIG FAN OF REAGAN BUT HE

WASN'T HEAVY INTO IT.

HE WANTED TO DO CERTAIN THINGS

AND WAS NOT HEAVY INTO IT.

BUT HE WASN'T MAKING TRADE

DEALS.

HE LET JAPAN COME IN AND TAKE

OUR AUTOMOBILE MARKET.

AS MUCH AS I LIKE RAG AND HE WAS

NOT GOOD ON TRADE.

>> Laura: HE DIDN'T TRADE WITH

THE SOVIET UNION AT ALL.

HE DIDN'T HAVE STUDENTS COMING

INTO THE UNITED STATES.

SPEED TWO BY THE WAY, GETTING

ALONG WITH RUSSIA, NOW THAT THE

WITCH HUNT HAS ENDED, NOW THAT

THEY SPEND $45 MILLION AND FOUND

NOTHING.

>> Laura: MR. PRESIDENT WHEN

YOU LOOK AT THE TRAJECTORY OF

YOUR PRESIDENCY, HUGE PROGRESS

ON TRADE AND HUGE PROGRESS ON

DEALING WITH POLITICAL FOES,

ISIS, INCREDIBLE DEREGULATION

JUDGES, YOU'VE DONE A LOT.

ON THE ECONOMY TODAY, WE FOUND

OUT THAT STILL 146,000 JOBS,

UNEMPLOYMENT HISTORICALLY THE

WET 3.5%.

BUT WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A

STUMP ON WAGE GROWTH AND WE'VE

SEEN 2.9% LAST YEAR.

OVER THE LAST MONTH.

BUT WE DON'T HAVE A TIGHT LABOR

MARKET AND IF WE DID COME A

INCREASES IN WAGES.

I HEAR THAT YOUR TEAM IS

PLANNING ON ADVOCATING MORE

FOREIGN WORK COMING IN FOR SOME

OF THESE HIGH-TECH COMPANIES.

ARE YOU VERY CONCERNED ABOUT

THAT AS A LOT OF YOUR

SUPPORTERS?

>> President Trump: MARK LEVIN

A LITTLE BIT.

>> Laura: WE ARE CONCERNED.

>> President Trump: DOBBS IS

CONCERNED TOO.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM.

I AM DEMANDING THAT JAPAN ALL

THESE COUNTRIES THAT HAVE THESE

MASSIVE, DEFICITS LIKE NOBODY

HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE.

I SAID YOU TO OPEN UP AIKO

PRIME MINISTER, YOU HAVE TO OPEN

UP MORE PLANS IN THE

UNITED STATES.

THEY TELL ME, WE WANT TO DO IT,

WE WANT TO DO IT.

THEY CAN'T GET LABOR.

WE NEED HELP, OTHERWISE, WE CAN

SAY DON'T OPEN.

>> Laura: IF THEY COULDN'T GET

LABOR, WAGES WOULD BE GOING UP

BUT WAGES ARE GOING UP YOU'RE

NOT IN THE HIGH-TECH INDUSTRY.

WE ARE TAKING A PLATEAU.

>> President Trump: IT WENT UP

2.9%.

THE LAST YEAR, THE WAGES HAVE

GONE UP MORE THAN THEY HAVE 25

YEARS.

>> Laura: BUT FOR GOOGLE, WHY

AWARD GOOGLE?

THEY ARE WORKING AGAINST YOU IN

THE CAMPAIGN.

>> President Trump: I'M NOT A

FAN.

I'M NOT A FAN OF GOOGLE.

>> Laura: YOU DID NOT BRING

FOREIGN WORKERS IN THE

UNITED STATES.

>> President Trump: WE HAVE TO

ALLOW SMART PEOPLE TO STAY IN

THE COUNTRY.

YOUR GRADUATE NUMBER ONE IN YOUR

CLASS AT HARVARD.

>> Laura: YOU RAN ON PEOPLE

TRAINING FOREIGN REPLACEMENTS.

YOU RAN AGAINST THAT.

THE AMERICANS HUMILIATING FOR AN

AMERICAN WORKER FOR 30 YEARS.

NOW, IT IS TOLD ME YOU HAVE TO

TRAIN FORMER REPLACEMENT, AND

YOU WILL PAY HIM 20%.

>> President Trump: I WOULD

NEVER DO THAT, BUT WE DO NEED

WORKERS AND THE COUNTRY.

AND I DO WANT IMMIGRATION

POLICY.

NOBODY'S BEEN BETTER ON

IMMIGRATION THEN MAY, BY THE WAY

WE WON THE FUNDING FOR THE WALL

AND THE WALL HAS BEEN BUILDING

BECAUSE TAKEN OUT OF THE

MILITARY AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

IT IS EASIER.

MANY PEOPLE COME I GOT FOX CON

TO GO INTO WISCONSIN.

THEY HAVE TO GET PEOPLE.

THEY SPENT A FORTUNE AND BUILT

THE MOST INCREDIBLE PLANT I'VE

EVER SEEN.

FOX CON.

>> Laura: AMERICAN GRADUATES

OF COLLEGES AND THE UNIVERSITIES

TAKING JOBS.

>> President Trump: WE DO BUT

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM.

WE HAVE TO BE COMPETITIVE WITH

THE REST OF THE WORLD TOO FOR

THE COMPANIES WANT TO HIRE THESE

PEOPLE.

WHEN THEY WANT TO HEAR PEOPLE

THEY CAN HIRE FOR THE CHEAPEST

AMOUNT.

>> President Trump: I'M

TALKING BRAINPOWER.

THEY WANT TO HIRE SMART PEOPLE.

THOSE PEOPLE ARE THROWN OUT OF

THE COUNTRY AND WE CAN'T DO

THAT.

>> Laura: YOUR BRAIN ON

AMERICA FIRST.

>> President Trump: THIS IS

AMERICA FIRST.

>> Laura: I'M GOING TO KEEP

GOING.

>> President Trump: LET ME

FINISH.

IF WE TELL SMART PEOPLE TO GET

THE HILL OUT --

>> Laura: THAT'S NOT WHAT WE

ARE SAYING.

THERE IS A NEVER ENDING APPETITE

ON THE PART OF CORPORATE AMERICA

TO BRING IN AS MUCH CHEAP LABOR

AS POSSIBLE TO DRIVE DOWN WAGES.

THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

>> President Trump: SO MANY

PEOPLE COMING INTO THE COUNTRY,

YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT

IT.

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A SHORTAGE.

IF SOMEBODY IS IN THIS POSITION,

WE HAVE SO MANY COMPANIES COMING

IN FROM JAPAN.

JAPAN IS DOING MANY OF OUR

COMPANIES.

CHINA NOW IS GOING TO START

BUILDING A LOT OF THINGS.

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN DOING IT TOO

MUCH.

WE HAVE SO MANY COMPANIES
