While appearing on a popular comedian's podcast, former President Donald Trump made a comment that had the host asking through laughter, "What does that mean?"

Comedian Andrew Schulz co-hosted an interview with Trump on the FLAGRANT podcast, during which he laughed after the former President referred to himself as "basically a truthful person".

Schulz and his co-host, fellow comedian Akaash Singh, released the full interview in video form on their YouTube channel on Wednesday, in which Schulz, Singh and the former President discuss a variety of topics ahead of the 2024 election.

In one segment of the podcast, Schulz and Trump began to talk about in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments and their recent politicization following the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, a move which Trump notoriously bragged about his role in.

Trump began to talk about Vice President Kamala Harris' statements in which she asserted that Trump did not support IVF treatments to facilitate pregnancy.

"I came out strongly in favor of IVF. [Kamala Harris] has an ad on that I'm against IVF. She knows it's untrue," said the former President. "She lied about many things and she's a liar. There should be some kind of a rule when they know it's a lie, you can't do a commercial on it."

"I have a hard time doing it to them because I'm basically a truthful person," Trump continued.

Following this statement, Schulz burst into a fit of laughter, responding "what does that mean" as Trump launched into a rant about Kamala Harris.

A campaign ad posted to Harris' Instagram account last month features one of her supporters, Yesenia, talking about her reliance on IVF in order to start her own family.

"Donald Trump's Project 2025 agenda could effectively ban IVF—preventing families, like Yesenia and her husband, from their chance to have a child," reads the caption.

Trump has ironically been known to perpetuate falsehoods publicly and repeatedly, garnering immense amounts of attention. Recently, the former President and his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, came under fire for falsely claiming that Haitian immigrants in the city of Springfield were kidnapping and eating pets of other residents, even continuing to perpetuate these claims even after local law enforcement denied receiving any such reports.

Last month, special counsel Jack Smith filed a new indictment against Trump, stating that the former President resorted to criminal activity in order to subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election. In a legal brief unsealed by a federal court, Smith outlines a plethora of falsehoods perpetuated by Trump in order to maintain power, including his submission of false certificates of ascertainment that indicate Trump won electoral college votes in states he actually lost votes in.
