Transcript

00:00I was as close as you could get to the most powerful man in the world.

00:05I really thought it was like a bromance made in heaven.

00:09What conversations have you had with Lev Parnas?

00:12Boy, was I wrong.

00:14We immigrated to the United States when I was four years old.

00:17While other kids were going to school, I was on the streets hustling.

00:20I was a salesman.

00:24We were invited to a huge fundraiser.

00:26We were like two seats away from Trump.

00:28And Lev said something, and instantly it was like no one else was in the room.

00:33He wasn't a politician. He was a New York hustler.

00:35And we could relate.

00:40This is a guy who's an immigrant who is in a state of shock that he was at this level.

00:46In a year and a half, I went from not knowing anything about politics

00:49to now being in the inner circle of the president.

00:52It was hilarious to see mafia kingpins, oligarchs,

00:56interacting with all these Republican congressmen and senators.

00:59All the president's putzes.

01:02How were these thugs meeting with our political leaders?

01:05Trump's biggest nightmare was Joe Biden.

01:08Let's go after Joe. Let's go after Hunter.

01:11And that is how I was recruited by Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani

01:15to dig up dirt on Joe and Hunter Biden.

01:17Trusting Lev to run around Ukraine is ridiculous.

01:21He's not qualified.

01:23No guardrails. No oversight.

01:25This is right out of a spy thriller.

01:27This was a mission impossible, mission stupid.

01:30I don't know which one, but maybe both.

01:33Lev Parnas was a key player.

01:35Know nothing about him.

01:37This wasn't a normal presidency.

01:40I betrayed Ukraine. I betrayed America.

01:43I just hope one day I can say I'm sorry.

01:45I hope one day Hunter Biden could really forgive me.

01:48Hunter.

01:50They've turned you into this supervillain.

01:55Just so you know, I wasn't very sympathetic.

01:58Oh, I'm sure you weren't.
