The Leaked Trump New York Times Interview Is Audio from the Last Election
About this YouTube video just beginning to make rounds:
It doesn’t feature a leaked recording of Trump’s interview with the New York Times.
I can’t source the recording precisely, but I can date it to the last election cycle.
The transcript appears all over the web:
For people that have been here for years, that have been hard workers, have good jobs, are supporting a family, it’s very, very tough to just say ‘you have to leave, get out.’ How do you throw someone out that’s lived in this country for 20 years? You just can’t throw everybody out.
Donald Trump
The recording is recent, from Trump’s flirtation with running for President last time. It’s present in “The Trump Tapes: Vol. 1,” and the audio from that compilation appears to have been used to make the allegedly leaked interview (compare the background music).
Where the transcript appears on the web, it’s usually attributed directly or indirectly to the Fox & Friends episode of June 18, 2012. The reason I can’t source the audio precisely is that I can’t find that exact audio in that exact Fox & Friends. I might be missing it.
Trump says everything contained in the recording in the given Fox & Friends interview, though. The Right Scoop recently discussed that interview. Trump just hit all the standard liberal, pro-amnesty talking points.
On deportation, argument “Heartless”:
For people that have been here for years, that have been hard workers, have good jobs, are supporting a family, it’s very very tough to just say, by the way, you know 22 years, you gotta leave, get out.

And on visas, argument “Doing the Jobs Americans Won’t Do”:
The concept is that you throw everybody out and everybody else gets a job, but it doesn’t work that way. A lot of the jobs these people have, a lot of other people don’t want. You know that and I know that. You see it all the time, whether it’s picking grapes or doing something else, you have jobs that a lot of people aren’t going to want.

The Right Scoop has more.
Anyway, the recording in the video ‘LEAKED: Trump “off the record” Interview with New York Times’ is from the video “The Trump Tapes: Vol. 1” and isn’t a leaked recording of Trump’s interview with the New York Times.
