## Transcript

Now you have a house in Italy? Right? I do, yes. So you spend a lot of time there? I, yeah [ CROSSTALK ] And when you look at American politics, I, I look at Italy and think, hey [ LAUGH ] it's not so bad. Yeah. Anything, we, we can learn from Italy? I mean, what are the lessons? [ LAUGH ] Or the counter lessons that we can learn? I don't know. I mean, there's no, I, I, I had one evening with Berlusconi that was one of the more astonishing evenings of my life. Oh, Didn't he cite, he cited you in his defense. Yeah, he wanted me to be in his defense. Yeah. And I and I spoke to their people and said, I'll, I will come in and testify, if you like.

Because I wasn't at the party that I was said to have been at. And that's what they were using me as the defense, saying I wasn't at his Bunga- bunga party. [ LAUGH ] But I was at another party. I went there to speak about Darfur. And you know, I'd done all my homework. I'd shown up and said you have 33 C147 helicopters. You have 11 of them in Afghanistan. You need 11 others down. That leaves 11 we have, we need three. We got South Korean pilots that can do, we just need three helicopters into Darfur. And there was you know and it was. Amazing conversation of you need to have him show you his bedroom and the bed that Putin had given him.

[ LAUGH ] There's so many jokes and so little time. [ NOISE ] And it was just a very interesting conversation. To say the least. It became a very different kind of evening than anyone thought. I was like I have to go. They like no where you going? [ LAUGH ] It's going to be a party. I'm like no I got to go. I really do. I find that, I find them to be very different. Very different very different people. You know, he really does own about two- thirds of the media. Yeah. Which there really is a reason why you separate those things.
