announcing disclosure whether that's the president or the Pope or something like that was just such
year the president issued a directive said start releasing information on these files now it's
with the president and urged him to go even further earlier this year when did that happen so I was I was
and so January or February the 6th I was in the Oval Office with the president and there was a staff
secretary by the name of William Scharf scharf who was also there with the president myself
something I want to make a statement and I would said and this is what I want you to say Mr. President
uh officially made by any president that I know of and has not they've they've had different kinds of
and he referred to a conversation that he and and that Bill Clinton had uh President Clinton had and it just
it involved um when President Clinton said to him uh before I leave office there are two things that
him where on page was so-and-so has said that so he he met with with the President Clinton he said did
somebody like the president united states to say yeah they're real they're here and eliminate all the
conversation you can't tell me and our listeners you can't say what the president said right no i can't
expressed an interest in it so at some point the president has to be told no we can't tell you
conversation let's get let's make it an hour you have an hour with the president what would you tell
nothing we have no ability to control anything that's a tough thing to tell the president right
i would think that would be a tough thing for a president to accept well you're giving me an
we go back to your meeting with president you walk into the oval office they clear off the resolute desk
yeah for somebody like the president i'm not sure if it could be anyone less than the president that
you know it's the world goes so fast but the president that took on the challenge of disclosure
that was that's huge so that's giving them a kind of a respect that they deserve if you were president
talking about have you considered the political fallout for a president let's say it's trump because
it's not just for america when you're embarking as a president on trying to initiate
but are afraid they'd be prosecuted do you what advice would you give the president about how to
the gatekeepers because that's part of your recommendation to the president is give them
interaction you would argue to the president in future conversations any gatekeeper company x has
so as the meeting draws to a close and everything and uh the president and and i are saying goodbyes
president trump says no leave everything there i thought thank you god thank you that's a good sign
can you tell the story about that encounter well one of my previous meetings with the president
the president while he was running for re-election and then after he won re-election
with donald trump you did it with the president of the united states and you were not a bullshitter
that's the worst job there is being president united states oh my god and it's it's it's terrible job but i
resurrected that yeah for president trump's sake because that idea of having that pandemic center
the president about the possibility of disclosure at least confirmation where it should start at least
