“I’m sorry that Hollywood can’t even support bringing the hostages home. I just don’t understand it.”

“No one can interact with anyone,” Zarin insisted. “Honestly, you have a complete security environment. I’ve been to Mar-a-Lago and I see the security they have, and it’s very tight… But you can definitely see the president. But you can’t get close to him.”
He added, “He’s completely surrounded. Let’s put it this way. If he sees you and wants to talk to you, he’ll grab you. Don’t worry about that. Other than that, leave me alone.”
