Yeah.
Are you, let's say for example, in some like hypothetical scenario where you run for president, let's just say, Obviously, nobody has plans for that, but let's just say, potentially. You wouldn't be announcing that here, but you can, as he takes a sip of water. There must be concern about
the potential scrutiny on not only you, but like your family, like all these people become public figures and unfairly. So, you know, um, how do you manage that? Like what your kids can go through unfair things.
So all these people pay the price for, some might say, your ambition. But if your ambition is to do something that would make the country a better place for your children, I imagine there's a way that you can justify that sacrifice that they would go through. Yes. I don't want to be answering the question for you.
I'm just curious how you balance all those things.
Sorry, keep going.
Yep.
Yeah, we're like, what are you promoting or seemingly promoting or what are the Republicans projecting to you that you're promoting that they are so against that they will reject poverty? Whatever you endeavor to do to help them with their poverty. Yeah. Meaning there might be another thing out there that is equally or potentially more important. Right.
Yeah. Yes. A hundred percent.
When that person, the coastal elite does it, we're doing it because we're benevolent. I'm so heroic. I'm voting against my own interest for little old you. That's the idea, right?
That could be the, there's, there's one thing. And then I know you got to go, but, uh, so, uh, The guy who does all our partnerships here, one of my best friends, his name is Jamil, and he was working in England for a while.
And when he came back after working in England for a while, he found out the American government was like, yeah, but even though you worked over there, you still got to pay us tax. And he was like, what do you mean? I was working. I wasn't working. Yeah, but you're an American. So even if you have a job abroad for a company abroad, you have to pay their tax.
But you still got to pay us tax because you're American. Yeah. If him as an employee has to do that, Apple got to do it. Google's got to do it. Anybody else out there. It just cannot be that unfair. If there's that much transparency for the average, he wasn't working for an American company. Actually, I'm not exactly sure what the company was, if it was an American company.
But the idea that he had to pay taxes out there and he also had to pay American taxes, then that company should have to do the exact same thing. And I don't know how you implement that. I understand it's tricky. I understand these guys are paying tens of millions of dollars to these attorneys that are just tax code nerds that are trying to find the loopholes. I've spoken to some of these guys.
And I've spoken to some hedge fund dudes that were literally like, listen, we could try to find ways to make money in the market. It's easier to attack the tax code. Mm-hmm. They literally told me that they're like, the money is attacking the tax code, not the market.
I mean, that's something that would, and I don't understand the wording, but to what we were speaking before, like speaking to people's feelings, like finding a way to effectively tax these corporations, which would reduce taxes on working class people, finding a way to turn that into one sentence, but letting a working class person know that they're going to pay 20% less because we found a way for these corporations to honor what their tax burden should be.
I mean, when Trump or when Doge or whatever was saying—maybe it was Lutnick was talking about the tariffs, and they were like, yeah, well, yes, the goods are going to be more expensive, and it's going to be more expensive for everyday people, but with the money that the tariffs bring in, we're actually going to remove the income tax for people making under $150,000 a year.
Whether or not they do that, that is— That is fresh meat for somebody who's going, I make under $100,000 a year, and that is a huge burden on me, and I can provide for my kids so much better. They can go to that camp that they've been telling me about.
They're saying they're going to offset that burden with the money that comes in for the tariffs, regardless if they actually implement this or not. Mm-hmm. I hope that you guys come up with strategies that sound just as seductive and then intend to execute them. And what a competitive advantage you would have if you're saying these guys are all talk.
They say the nice shit, but they don't really do it. Well, we're not all talk. We're going to say nice shit and we're delivering on it. And here's why. How can you lose? You'll never lose. But give me some nice shit. Sell me on something. Anyway, thank you so much for being here, man.
