00:00I met him when he was in tech. He was there very briefly. He worked for Mithril. He worked
00:04for a biotech thing. He worked for Steve Case for a very short time. Very, very disliking
00:14of Trump. That's already been seen. Very different. And shifted on a dime. I find that, you know,
00:21I don't know. Unsettling.
00:22He suddenly loves Trump. He's, you know, he called Trump American Hitler, which I don't
00:27call Trump American Hitler. That's a real far thing to say. You may think that. I don't
00:34think that. I mean, the Nazi regime was my minor in college. So I think it's very, you
00:42have to really understand what you're saying when you say something like that. And he obviously
00:45didn't.
00:46So the shift is unusual. The lack of experience, his America first kind of attitude, if you
00:52go back to America first, not wanting to engage in the world.
00:58And he's a creature of Elon, Peter, and to a lesser extent, David Sachs, who's kind of
01:06their minion. They're very brilliant. I would say Elon and Peter are brilliant. David is
01:12not so much.
