All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
In conversation with President Trump

I don't think I dealt. You have to understand, Fauci was a much bigger factor in the Biden administration than he was in the Trump administration. I didn't rely on him that much because I didn't trust him. I would say, got along with him, fine, not really, but I didn't trust him. And again, I was the one that stopped the money going to China. I didn't like it. I didn't stop it because of COVID.

In conversation with President Trump

I didn't stop it because of anything other than why are we paying money to China? It was strange. They should pay us money. We shouldn't pay them money. One of the things I can tell you, the World Health Organization, so we pay them almost $500 million. And China pays them $39 million. And so I got out of the World Health Organization. They did absolutely nothing. They called it totally wrong.

I got out. They called me and they said, we'll do anything to keep you in, anything, anything. I said, well, why are they paying 39 million? We're paying almost 500 million. And they said, well, we'll work out a deal where you can pay much less. I said, well, now you're starting to talk. But even that, it was very popular when I got out.

It was a very politically, it would have been very hard to go back in. People were thrilled that I got out. I could have made a deal to go in for 39 million. They offered me a deal to go in for 39 million, and I actually turned it down. I said, you know, it should be, if you look at, we're at 350 million, and they're at 1.4 billion people, right? So it should have been 25% or less than that.

But I didn't want to quibble. But I could have gone back in immediately for $39 million as opposed to 500. Then a horrible, horrible election which helped destroy our country took place in 2020. And they went back in and they're paying more than $500 million. And they knew I could have made a deal. Now, it's a lot of money, not when you talk about the world, but it's still a lot of money.

But it shows you the stupidity of the whole thing. They could have made a deal for 39 million. Instead, they're paying much more than they paid even before. And that's the way the mindset of our country is. And here's the big part. China totally controls the WHO. China totally controls them. We have very little control over them. And now they want to give control over our whole country to them.

In conversation with President Trump

Well, I have a lot of things. I mean, I did a lot of things in the FBI. I fired a lot of their top people, including Comey, who was terrible at what he did, a terrible person and terrible at what he did. I fired McCabe. And, you know, I don't have to go through Lisa and Strzok and all of the lovers. And I fired a whole group of people. I got rid of them.

The Paris Accord was a disaster for us. We were gonna pay a trillion dollars and other countries were paying nothing. Russia was paying nothing. China was paying nothing. It didn't even kick in for China until 2030, whereas with us, it kicked in immediately. So I got rid of the Paris Accord.
