Jared Kushner

So I get on the plane with Dunford and we land in Iraq and he looks like GI Joe.

He's a great general.

He's very, very well respected in the military.

And we go in and we get on Black Hawk helicopter.

I said, you know, today's a nice day.

Let's take the sides off.

And so I get on the plane and there's a guy, you know, military service officer who then takes a machine gun, locks it into a thing, takes the bullets, puts them into the gun, and is sitting there saying, we're ready to go.

And then I'm looking out and there's like three other helicopters with guys.

One was an Osprey with a guy buckled in, also with a machine gun looking out.

We take off and we're flying over Baghdad from the airport to the embassy.

And as we're going, I'm sitting in an open air helicopter with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, guys with machine guns everywhere.

I would say slightly.

I mean, I was doing real estate like three months ago, you know, and now I'm flying over Iraq.

And the chairman says, that's Saddam Hussein's palace.

And I look down, there's like a big bomb right through the middle.

Then you see the area with the two swords in the hands.

I'm saying to myself, like, how the hell did I get here?

Like, what is happening?

So meanwhile, we end up going to the front lines to be with the Iraqi military, which the U.S.

military was working closely with.
