That's such old history. Very easy to explain, but I don't want to waste your time by explaining that. But for years, I wouldn't talk to Jeffrey Epstein. I wouldn't talk because he did something that was inappropriate. All right, well, you know what? That's reassuring. You realized Epstein was a monster, and as soon as you learned the horrible truth, you threw him out of Mar -a -Lago and cut him out of your life for good. You know what? That's great. That's what you meant when you said he did something He did something that was inappropriate. He hired help. And I said, don't ever do that again. He stole people that work for me. I said, don't ever do that again. He did it again. And I threw him out of the place for son and on grata. Because he poached your employee? You're making it so much worse, dude. I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe you should go back to talking about windmills.
