So he has said it out loud, David. He has literally said it out loud that he doesn't want a paper trail. But anyway, so let's go back. So now we're talking back and forth, and we're having legit conversations. I remember asking him, you know, you realize as president, you're going to have to make decisions where people can die. And he really wouldn't respond. Yeah, I get it. I get it.
I'm like, Donald, you don't have a ground game. What are you going to do? How are you going to get through this? Yeah, I got the evangelicals doing all that. I'm not worried about it. I'm like, Donald, you know, and I would bring up things about, there was this one thing where the FBI used this device to break into an iPhone. And there was a big thing about, you know, privacy.

And I tried to engage him on a conversation on it. And it's just like, I don't know, you know, just didn't want to talk about that at all. And that would happen multiple times where I would try to engage in conversations about some type of policy. And they're just it never got anywhere. And there was never a conversation.

And I said to him, I'm saying there's another email where I said, Donald, at some point, you have to learn these things. You literally have to learn these things in order to be president. And he didn't respond to that. And that's when I went on CNN. And I said, basically, look, I like the guy, but. He's not learning. He doesn't make any effort to learn anything.

And I think that carries on to this day because you can't look at things he says and say, that's really an in-depth response or that's a nuanced response. And so that's what I said on CNN. And that led to the image that you guys posted. So that was the falling out. That was the falling out, yeah. Or maybe... But it wasn't a complete fallout.

If you want me to continue, so it's not a complete falling out because after that, he gets elected. I send him a congratulatory message and I say congrats. You know, if I can ever help, I'm happy to. And so... When they were starting to look at replacing the ACA, I was starting to get into health care and being excited about health care.

And so they invited me to the White House and I spoke to Jared. I spoke to this woman named Brooke Rollins, I think her name is. And I spoke to a whole group of people. I went to CMS and I spoke to the head of the agency. I spoke to the head of CMS, all talking about this thing I created called the 10 plan, which is a means tested ability to support. Anyways.

I put together with them and I helped that company increase their output. And Peter Navarro worked with them closely and we really made a dent in all the PPE issues. And he invited me to the White House. And then I went to the White House one time, went into the Oval Office and there's pictures of me talking. And again, I tried to explain the healthcare stuff.

he just wasn't having any type of in-depth conversation. He wanted to tell me about how much money he saved on, um, on, from Boeing, you know, how many billions and this and that. And then it was a short conversation. And then I was leaving and he goes, look, are you still on that show? And he goes, I'm like, yeah, shark tank. He goes, yeah, that's Barron's favorite show.

And then as I'm leaving further, he goes, wait a minute, I really liked that suit. So, you know, and, and, you know, he's called me since, um, since he left the White House, but later in his tenure at the White House, and invited me to dinner. I mean, and so it's not like we left as foes, and it's not like I don't like him. I just don't think he's the best person to be president.
