"I was watching the television—I watch the good shows, not the failing CNN—and I see this woman. Elizabeth. Elizabeth Holmes. The Turtleneck Lady. You know who I’m talking about? She wore the black turtlenecks, very tight, very Steve Jobs, but better looking, let’s be honest. You know that Elizabeth home some people call her Liz. She's she's very pretty. Very very pretty indeed. And and she had this deep voice very deep voice sexy voice, just such a wonderful deep sexy voice. I think Liz can do a lot of good for the world if she was out of prison. Lot of good in the world of blood research. Very good blood Very very pretty woman and I can respect that and they threw her in jail! Can you believe it? They put her in the slammer. And for what? For being a businesswoman? For having a dream? She had a company, Theranos. Sounds Greek, right? Very fancy. And she said, 'I can take one drop of blood, just a tiny drop, beautiful red blood, and I can tell you everything.' She said, 'I can tell you if you have the cancer, if you have the bad heart Very very smart and I like smart and I like pretty just think that she made a mistake and needs a break. I mean who hasn't made a mistake right? Okay it didn't work yet but she was ambitious . We all make mistakes. She’s appealing. And I look at this, and I say, this is just like what they do to me. The radical left prosecutors, the same ones coming after me, they went after Elizabeth. They don't like entrepreneurs. They don't like people who think big. She's in jail right now and it’s a disgrace. Total disgrace."
