00:00You were friends with Donald Trump for 30 years.
00:02Can you talk a little bit about the nature of your friendship, what that was like?
00:06Well, he was always very kind to me, to my brother, family members, and he's a nice enough guy.
00:12I mean, I had no problem with him.
00:14I get along with everyone, though.
00:15I have to make that note as well.
00:18You know, Roger Ailes or Rupert Murdoch, you know, these political views they have are not mine.
00:23I'm somewhere to the left of Dennis Kucinich.
00:25You know, I'm an occupier.
00:27But still, despite people's political beliefs, you know, I can believe in them.
00:31You know, I can like them.
00:32You know, he's a very likable person.
00:35But I still don't think he's a suitable person for presidency, right?
00:40And, you know, people carry beliefs that are hurtful.
00:43None of us are enlightened, right?
00:45We just laugh off things.
00:46I would laugh off things he said that were off-color that kind of didn't represent my viewpoints.
00:51Certainly, I hear things that seem a little racist, but I, you know, obviously I couldn't
00:56carry, I hate black people thing, right?
00:58But, you know, Islamophobic.
01:00He said we took him to the mosque.
01:03Myself, some rabbis, some imams.
01:05He went to the mosque with us five, six years ago.
01:07And he was very kind when he met the imam.
01:10But he had said some things that were hurtful.
01:13I've heard anti-Semitic things, not blatant, but pretty clear, that there was harboring
01:19some, we all harbor some hate, right?
01:23And that the fear is that his statements would take people who would never even admit to having
01:29those seeds of hate in them, and what are those seeds?
01:34And then those people would say things they would never even imagine saying.
01:38And then it became the norm.
01:43And then it became the norm.
01:44And then it became the norm.
01:45And then it became the norm.
01:46And then it became the norm.
01:47And then it became the norm.
01:48And then it became the norm.
01:49And then it became the norm.
01:50And then it became the norm.
01:51And then it became the norm.
01:52And then it became the norm.
01:53And then it became the norm.
01:54And then it became the norm.
01:55And then it became the norm.
01:56And then it became the norm.
01:57And then it became the norm.
01:58And then it became the norm.
01:59And then it became the norm.
02:00And then it became the norm.
02:01And then it became the norm.
02:02And then it became the norm.
02:03And then it became the norm.
02:04And then it became the norm.
02:05And it became the norm.
02:06And it became the norm.
02:07And it became the norm.
