And-

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

Worked very closely on that with Van Jones and Jessica Jackson, who also gave me a lot of help on the left.

And it was an amazing thing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

Had a great team too.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

The answer is yes, and the answer is no.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

So I made some incredible friends, lifelong friends, through my time in Washington.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

But the way I think about it from politics, and I think in geopolitics as well, is I would say that politicians really don't have friends, politicians have interests.

And as long as you kind of follow that rule, you should be able to know how to rate where your relationship with a given person falls in the spectrum.

#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

But I do think I was the exception.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

I did make some tremendous friends.

And

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

Again, I'd go back to what I said about negotiation where when you're in a situation where there's really nothing in it for any of you personally, but you're in a foxhole together and nobody in Washington can get anything done by themselves.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

You have people coming from all different backgrounds, all different experiences, all different geographies coming together.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

agreeing on an objective, creating a plan, and then every day rowing together in order to get it done, it's a beautiful thing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And you really learn what people are about.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And so when you go through an experience like that, you learn who's in it for themselves, you learn who's in it for the cause.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And for every thing you read about in the press of a fight I had with somebody because we were at odds, I have about 100 people who have become lifelong friends because I respect the way

That when we were under fire together, they got better, they were competent, and they were there to serve for the right reason.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And so I guess the answer is yes, it is possible.

You have to be careful because there are a lot of mercurial people there.
