00:00You sued Twitter a number of years ago.
00:01You just made him pay you $10 million?
00:03That's right, that's right.
00:04That's right.
00:05Well, I sued from long before he had it.
00:08Yeah, yeah.
00:09And, I mean, they really did a number on me, you know.
00:12And I sued, and they had to pay.
00:14They paid a $10 million settlement.
00:17You're OK with that?
00:18I mean, I left it up to the lawyers
00:20and, you know, the team running Twitter.
00:22So I said, you guys do what you think is the right.
00:25It makes sense.
00:26I think it's fine.
00:27I think it's a very low.
00:29I was looking to get much more money than that.
00:31So you gave him a discount on the lawsuit?
00:33Oh, he got a big discount.
00:35I love the president.
00:36You love the president.
00:37I think President Trump is a good man.
00:39And he's, you know.
00:41That's nice the way he said that, you know.
00:43That's something nice about him.
00:45It really is.
00:46It is.
00:47Because, I mean, the president's been so unfairly attacked
00:51in the media.
00:52It's truly outrageous.
00:54And I've, at this point, spent a lot of time with the president.
00:58And not once have I seen him do something that was mean
01:02or cruel or wrong.
01:04Not once.
01:06You know, I've known him for 30 years.
01:08Yeah.
01:09And I've never seen anybody take as much as he's taken.
01:13Yeah.
01:14The New York Times, Washington Post, three networks,
01:16every late night comedy show, two cable channels.
01:19They just drew everything.
01:21Lawfare, weaponization.
01:23Sure.
01:24And now I see they want you two to start.
01:28They want a divorce.
01:29They want you two to start hating each other.
01:32And they try.
01:33Oh, President Elon Musk, for example.
01:35You do know that they're doing that to you.
01:37Oh, I see it all the time.
01:39They tried it.
01:40Then they stopped.
01:41That wasn't.
01:42They have many different things of hatred.
01:44Actually, Elon called me.
01:46He said, you know, they're trying to drive us apart.
01:48I said, absolutely.
01:49It's just so obvious.
01:50They're so bad at it.
01:51I used to think they were good at it.
01:53They're actually bad at it.
01:54Because if they were good at it, I'd never be president.
01:56No, he's going to go to Mars.
01:58Starlink?
01:59At some point.
02:00He's in.
02:01They always ask me, like, do you want to die on Mars?
02:03And I say, well, yes, but not on impact.
02:05Starlink is in 100 countries.
02:08This is going to be hard.
02:09I feel like I'm interviewing two brothers here.
02:12You go ahead.
02:13Yes, they were left up there for political reasons,
02:15which is not good.
02:16OK, it's not good.
02:18I don't want to be complacent, but we have brought astronauts
02:20back from the space station many times before,
02:22and always with success.
02:24So as long as we're not complacent,
02:27we're being extremely cautious.
02:29You now have the go-ahead.
02:30Yes, well, thanks to you.
02:31They didn't have the go-ahead with Biden.
02:33He was going to leave them in space.
02:35I think he was going to leave them in space.
02:37I used to be adored by the left.
02:38Not anymore.
02:39Less so these days.
02:40He killed that, huh?
02:41I mean, less so.
02:42I really didn't remember.
02:44I mean, this whole sort of, like, you know,
02:46they call it, like, Trump derangement syndrome.
02:49And you don't realize how real this is until, like,
02:52you can't reason with people.
02:54So, like, I was at a friend's birthday party in LA,
02:57just a birthday dinner.
02:58And it was, like, a nice, quiet dinner,
03:00and everyone was behaving normally.
03:02And I happened to mention, this was before the election,
03:04like a month or two before,
03:05I happened to mention the president's name.
03:07And it was like they got shot with a dart in the jugular
03:09that contained, like, methamphetamine and rabies.
