| 0:00.0 | The following is a conversation with Avanka Trump, |
| 0:03.6 | Businesswoman, real estate developer, and former senior advisor to the President of the United States. |
| 0:11.2 | I've gotten to know Avanka well over the past two years. We've become good friends, hitting |
| 0:16.4 | it off right away over our mutual love of reading, especially philosophical writings from |
| 0:21.9 | Marcus Aurelius, |
| 0:23.4 | Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, Victor Frankel, and so on. |
| 0:27.3 | She is a truly kind, compassionate, and thoughtful human being. |
| 0:31.9 | In the past, people have attacked her, in my view to get |

| 1:25.2 | immigrating here to the US. I am forever grateful for this amazing country, for this amazing country, |
| 1:33.0 | for this amazing life, |
| 1:35.0 | for all of you who have given a chance |
| 1:38.1 | to a silly kid like me, |
| 1:40.6 | from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. I love you all. |
| 1:47.0 | And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the |
