Starting point is 00:00:00 I just mailchimp my marketing. You mailchimped your what? I maelchimped my marketing with AI to create an effective marketing campaign in minutes. No, MailChimp and way. Yes, MailChimp in way. Now I can hyper-personalize my campaigns across email and SMS. You can do all that with MailChimp. What did I just MailChimp and say?
Starting point is 00:00:18 MailChimp your marketing with the number one AI powered email marketing and automation platform. Intuit MailChimp. Number one, based on publicly available data on competitors, customers. Plans vary. SMS available as add-ons. Visit MailChimp.com. I was born in Manhattan Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. My mother was a physical therapist there.
Starting point is 00:00:37 So I got birth free, free of charge. And then my parents moved out to Levittown because my father was a naval officer in World War II and he got the cheap mortgage, $8,000 house on Page Lane. And we had a working class upbringing, even though both of my parents had college degrees. We didn't have any money. My father had a job as an accountant in the city. My mother didn't work after I was born with a homemaker. And you know, I didn't know we didn't have any money because my needs are taken care
Starting point is 00:01:14 of. We lived in a little box, okay, three bedrooms, one bath. If you know anything about Levittown, you know all the houses looked the same and they were cheap. And, but I, no air conditioning or anything like that, no amenities. There was a little fireplace. That was it. But again, everybody else was in the same circumstance and we had used cars.
Starting point is 00:01:41 They weren't pre-owned then. They were used and, you know, we didn't have any luxuries at all. We took a bus on vacation of Fort Lauderdale. Try that someday. So I went to St. Bridges School in Westbury and it was a bus ride over from, our section of Levitown. And then all the 60 kids in my class are in the same circumstance. There weren't any rich kids.
Starting point is 00:02:06 They were all most children of the military after World War II. And their parents and my parents went through the Depression, so they were scared about everything. You know how it is. So for me to come from there and then be sitting with the President of the United States discussing the upcoming phone call with the dictator of Russia about a war in Ukraine and other matters is surreal. And I think about stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:02:44 I'm not, you know, and I dragged my 21-year-old son as graduating from college in May to, and President Trump was kind enough to let my son, who's a political science major, be in the cabinet meeting. And to see it through his eyes, totally different, of course, than me, because I came up the hard way, the real hard way. I wrote a book called A Bold Fresh Peace of Humanity that chronicles a lot of that. And my son didn't come up the hard way. But my deal with him is you are a child of privilege. but you have to give back and that's what he's aiming to do to get into public service to
Starting point is 00:03:32 help people and he's a good guy and he'll do it I'm a hundred percent sure that he will but for me a little thug and he wasn't a little thug he was a good boy my son I was a little thug and to rise up and become you know immediate force and then to be invited to very important White House sessions. This is the second cabinet meeting I've had in 2025. You know, I just feel so privileged. That's the word. You know, everybody goes, oh, it's an honor.
Starting point is 00:04:13 It's an honor. I don't like the word honor so much. It's a privilege for me to get the invitation because not many human beings see what I see. And I've known Donald Trump 35 years that he, I think, trust me that I'm going to be honest, and I am. You know, a lot of people surrounding the president tell him what he wants to hear. I don't. He asked me, I give my opinion.
Starting point is 00:04:40 And I think he values that, or I wouldn't get re-invited back. But anyway, I'm going to go through what happened yesterday in the Oval Office because it was historical for me. Someday I'll write about it. but it's I got to digest a little bit but it was fascinating.
