00:10Tony DeCouple, a 13-minute segment filmed in Dearborn, Michigan, and broadcast
00:15January 13. The CBS interview aired in its entirety.
00:20Audio obtained by The New York Times captured Press Secretary Caroline Levitt speaking to Tony DeCouple.
00:25Tony DeCouple after the interview. Make sure you guys don't cut the tape. Make sure the interview
00:30is out in full, she said. Levitt then warned that the president said, if it's not out in full,
00:35we'll sue your A off. DeCouple joked that Trump always says that.
00:40CBS news spokesperson said, the moment we booked this interview, we made the independent decision
00:45to air it unedited and in its entirety. Levitt added, the American people deserve to
00:50watch President Trump's full interviews. Unedited, no cuts. And guess what?
00:55The interview ran in full. Donald Trump previously sued CBS.
01:00In 2024, Trump sued the network over how a 60 Minutes production segment with then-vite
01:05Vice President Kamala Harris was edited. The company settled for 16 million dollars.
01:10after he alleged the piece was doctored to make him appear deceptive.
01:14During the Dokupal-chuk,
01:15he praised the country and issued warnings. Tony, we now have the hottest country
01:20in the world. And a year and a half ago, our country was dead. If Kamala Harris got in, he would
01:25probably wouldn't have a job right now. Your boss, who's an amazing guy, might be bussed, okay?
01:30He was referring to Paramount's new CEO, David Ellison. You wouldn't have this job
01:35certainly, whatever the H they're paying you. If they got in, we'd be Venezuela on-
01:40steroids. For the record, I do think I'd have this job even if the other guys won.
01:45Dokupal said, to which Trump replied, yeah, but at a lesser salary.
