00:01When I last interviewed you, it was about two years ago, President Trump had just won, he was not the
00:06president yet, and I had asked you what you thought of him at the time, and you said that you
00:11thought that he had mellowed, that he was calmer, and I'm curious now, here we are, two years later, we've
00:19had lots of wars and tariffs and all sorts of things that have happened since then, what do you think?
00:25I think he has, I'm comparing him to his first term, and I think he is a more mature, more
00:31disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term, and again, I've worked with all the presidents, I
00:40will work with all the presidents, and I hope to do that going forward if they'll have me, but we
00:47need our business leaders to provide input into the administration,
00:54regardless of who the president is, I'm not on the side, you know what, this is, I'm on the side
01:00of America, and I, and that is so important, like, and that's where business leaders should be, it's just, I
01:09think we are, but we get perceived as being like, you know, partisan or whatever, like, I was helping Obama
01:18every chance I could, I was helping Biden every chance I could,
01:21I still call Obama for advice, he's a very smart guy, and, you know, and by the way, people that
01:29are, Trump has lots of good ideas, and he's done a lot of, he's been right about a lot of
01:34things, you have to give him credit where credit is due.
