The Biden administration just like

0:01

really screwed up our immigration policy

0:03

in a profoundly dangerous way.

0:05

>> But even if you agree that immigration

0:06

is a problem, it seems division is the

0:08

most compelling narrative for

0:10

politicians. I remember this particular

0:11

quote about the black community where he

0:13

said

0:13

>> What do you have to lose?

0:16

>> I'm a black man. I feel like I've got

0:18

things to lose. And my concern is when

0:20

the Western narrative is that it's the

0:22

brown people that are the reason that

0:23

your life is hard or like Mexicans and

0:25

murderers. If I heard that from my

0:27

political leaders, it's conceivable that

0:28

I might be angry at my neighbor even

0:30

though they've done nothing.

0:31

>> But let me just say very often what the

0:33

president is accused of saying he didn't

0:35

say it or there was much greater

0:36

context. You wouldn't say that. But I

0:37

but but I think look, the president and

0:39

I certainly have way different styles.

0:40

But Donald Trump is much different as a

0:43

human being than the media makes him out

0:45

to be.

0:46

>> But back in 2016, there was a private

0:47

message between you and your roommate

0:48

where you said Trump was either a

0:49

cynical also or America's Hitler.

0:52

How do you go [music] from that position

0:53

to

0:54

vice president of the same person? What

0:57

what is that journey?

0:58

>> A crazy journey, man. But look, I

1:00

thought Donald Trump would be a failed

1:02

president. He was not. I thought that

1:04

America's institutions were

1:05

fundamentally functioning. They were

1:06

not. You always have to be able to

1:09

acknowledge when you're right and when

1:11

you're wrong. Like he's so

1:12

non-conventional in the way that he does

1:14

everything that things that were

1:16

previously unimaginable are actually on

1:18

the table.

1:19

>> Like this peace deal with Iran, for

1:20

example. But there's been lots of false

1:22

deals.

1:22

>> Well, this one's real. So. [music]

1:24

>> And Israel, Trump called Netanyahu a

1:26

very difficult guy. What does Netanyahu

1:28

want?

1:29

>> I don't know.

1:30

>> All I'd say is that we're different

1:31

countries with different interests.

1:32

>> Do you trust them?

1:33

>> I don't really trust anybody. But having

1:34

seen the president of the United States

1:35

operate, I feel quite confident that

1:37

they are the junior partner, we're the

1:38

senior partner, we are the world's

1:39

superpower.

1:40

>> I'm going to take a little bit of a hot

1:41

turn.

1:42

Do you think aliens could be real?

1:44

>> I do.

1:45

>> Mr. Vice President, I had no idea about

1:48

your earliest contacts.

1:49

>> Mhm.

1:50

>> And it hasn't formed what I've then seen

1:52

from you later as an adult. But can you

1:54

take me back?

2:00

>> The emotions still right on the surface

2:02

for you.

2:02

>> Very much so.
