The former president of Mexico has a new catchphrase that's not entirely safe for television.

Not that it's stopping him.

Vicente Fox called into Fox Business on Friday morning via Skype to make it clear that Mexico will not pay for the giant wall that Donald Trump wants to build along the border with Mexico.

"I have to say, we're not, I am not going to pay for that fucking wall. I am not," Fox told anchor Maria Bartiromo.

Fast forward to 9:22 to hear the beginning of the exchange.


The statement stunned Bartiromo, whose face said it all.

This was the second time in two days that Fox has dropped an f-bomb in relation to Trump's claims that Mexico will pay for the U.S. to build a border wall. 

He said the same thing to Fusion's Jorge Ramos.

Trump is apparently no fan of Fox's language.

During Thursday night's debate, Trump said that not only would Mexico pay for the wall but that it would now be "ten feet taller."

"This is a wall that's going to work. Mexico will pay for it, because they're not doing us any favors," Trump added.
