Brad, your thoughts on what we're seeing, like bigger picture, not just what's happening in New York, but what you heard when you debated kids about ban the billionaires and socialists.

Yeah, so the debate was at Stanford, sponsored by the Economics Department on whether or not billionaires should be allowed to exist in America.

I can't talk about what we debated in the room as Chatham House Rules, but I will tell you this, that a preponderance of people on their way in thought that they should ban billionaires in the United States, right?

I think it's a fundamental fight for the soul of America going on right now.

This goes to the very basic premise of the American dream.

Is there economic mobility in America?

But I think Republicans have to get real about this.

I think they have.

The president ran on a Main Street agenda.

He passed the Invest America Act.

I think he absolutely gets what's at stake.

70% of people feel left out and left behind.

They feel like the system is rigged against them.

And when you have somebody like Mondami who comes along and promises everything under the sun for free, that he can solve all of these problems, I think it's very enticing for young people who are frustrated.

You know, Chamath and I were with Vivek Ramaswamy last night and Vivek tweeted about this yesterday.

Republicans have to talk about the issue of affordability.

Right.

And I think they really have a good game plan around the Main Street agenda for affordability.

Remember, no tax on tips.

That doesn't help rich people.
