12:51 am
means. he doesn't really view too much of that. it's hard to give him a grade. >> jimmy: do your fellow conservatives get upset that you are not defending him in on television? >> constantly. from the second he started running. for people like me, it was clear he was not going to run as a republican. he was not going to run as a conservative. he can run any way he wants, but let's call a spade a spade. even last week with the election. e-mail after e-mail. text after text. what happened to you? you used to be a conservative. i have to be like dad, i did not change! y'all changed! i believe in the same things i always did. >> jimmy: you are in the same spot. a lot of other people -- >> not everybody, but a disappointing amount of people, especially congressional republicans have pushed snooze

on conservatism while donald trump is running the party and running the country. that's been disorienting to say the least. but also -- >> jimmy: did you interview donald trump at fox news. >> i don't believe i interviewed him. i did television with him. it's not a euphemism. >> jimmy: while he was talking. yes. >> we did projects together and i did television with don, jr. i got to know the family a little. certainly through the campaign, i covered him a lot. >> jimmy: do you know him personally at all? >> a little. anything i say is going to sound way more intimate and tawdry. >> jimmy: perfect. get et on the line. >> i will. >> look, i cover him and i worked with him on some projects.
12:53 am
as close as it got was i moved into a trump building in manhattan years ago. suddenly a cutting board arrived with my initials burned into it from donald trump welcoming me to the building. >> jimmy: he does woodworking? >> i'm sure by hand. a house warming gift. >> jimmy: how about that. >> i wish i sent it back. >> jimmy: do you use the cutting board? >> i do. almost every night. >> jimmy: you think of him while you chop vegetables. >> i try not to. i have a couple of development projects. >> jimmy: with donald trump or without? >> no. explicitly not. i found over the past few years, both as a human and someone who has to cover politics all day that i need an escape hatch. i have tried to find other
12:54 am
stories to tell. when you are looking, it's amazing how many you will find. that i found that i'm working on developing is the story of the first openly gay revolutionary war hero. >> jimmy: really? >> yes. barron von stuben and he was fabulous. he was prussian and he coned his way to come over as inspector general. benjamin franklin and george washington said sure, we will bring you over. he arrived in a fur-covered horse drawn sled with a miniature greyhound and a cad reof boyfriends and secretaries behind him. >> jimmy: wow! >> if people know him at all, he knows he revolutionized the way the military lays out camp. we use a lot of things he caught us. what people don't know is he was
12:55 am
openly gay. it was almost the first don't ask don't tell. it's a fabulous story. i'm excited to tell it. >> jimmy: you are finding out about this out here? >> no! >> jimmy: i don't know. >> i'm trying to convince people out here. >> jimmy: you are definitely getting kicked out of the republican party. you have about five minutes left between trump and this barron von stuben. >> the feeling is mutual these days. >> jimmy: saturday nights on 6:00 eastern on cnn. we will be right back with midland.
