00:00I was as close as you could get to the most powerful man in the world.
00:05I really thought it was like a bromance made in heaven.
00:09What conversations have you had with Lev Parnas?
00:12Boy, was I wrong.
00:14We immigrated to the United States when I was four years old.
00:17While other kids were going to school, I was on the streets hustling.
00:20I was a salesman.
00:24We were invited to a huge fundraiser.
00:26We were like two seats away from Trump.
00:28And Lev said something, and instantly it was like no one else was in the room.
00:33He wasn't a politician. He was a New York hustler.
00:35And we could relate.
00:40This is a guy who's an immigrant who is in a state of shock that he was at this level.
00:46In a year and a half, I went from not knowing anything about politics
00:49to now being in the inner circle of the president.
00:52It was hilarious to see mafia kingpins, oligarchs,
00:56interacting with all these Republican congressmen and senators.
00:59All the president's putzes.
01:02How were these thugs meeting with our political leaders?
01:05Trump's biggest nightmare was Joe Biden.
01:08Let's go after Joe. Let's go after Hunter.
01:11And that is how I was recruited by Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani
01:15to dig up dirt on Joe and Hunter Biden.
01:17Trusting Lev to run around Ukraine is ridiculous.
01:21He's not qualified.
01:23No guardrails. No oversight.
01:25This is right out of a spy thriller.
01:27This was a mission impossible, mission stupid.
01:30I don't know which one, but maybe both.
01:33Lev Parnas was a key player.
01:35Know nothing about him.
01:37This wasn't a normal presidency.
01:40I betrayed Ukraine. I betrayed America.
01:43I just hope one day I can say I'm sorry.
01:45I hope one day Hunter Biden could really forgive me.
01:48Hunter.
01:50He's turned you into this supervillain.
01:55Just so you know, I wasn't very sympathetic.
01:58Oh, I'm sure you weren't.
