If you're able to register with the securities and exchange commission for your company for the release of your token, then depending on how many people you're trying to sell it to, you would only be able to do that with qualified investors. But what happens is Gary Gensler is making it so difficult to register. And what he should be doing is saying, here's the bright line regulations.

If FTX wants to loan out all their Ethereum, you have to do what they did in Japan. You have to have 95% collateral and 95% of anything needs to be put in cold storage. If he had followed the same rules for crypto that Japan did, FTX would still be in business. Sam Bankman-Fried might still be in jail, but FTX, three hours capital, they'd still be in business. Because he did the wrong thing.

Now, I've literally talked to Kamala Harris at lunch about this specific topic of litigation through litigation. And as a lawyer, she got it immediately. And she knows it's a problem. And she's even mentioned it in one of her speeches that that's something that they're going to deal with.

I haven't asked her about any position at all, but what I was told, and look, talking to people who are like, always in the same room with her. The response to me about Gary Gensler was, have you heard anybody say anything positive? That's intentional.

So here's the way I look at Kamala, right? She is open-minded. She's smart. She does the work. She digs in and learns. She's ethical. She's honest. She cares. She wants to bring the country to the middle. She knows that when she was far left, that might have been great for the state of California, but it doesn't solve the problems of the United States of America today.

And that's why you've seen her go to the middle. And that is truly... I know, David, you might not believe this. It is truly honest and... Through and through her. When she gives speeches now, she says, I'll take ideas from independents. I'll take them from Republicans. I don't care. We have a lot of problems to solve in this country. I would be shocked if she wins. She talks to Elon Musk.

If Elon would talk to her. She doesn't care where the ideas come from.

We've had Trump here. We've had J.D. Vance here. Let the characteristics shine. I don't disagree. Look, it is not... Why does she hide, do you think? I don't think she's hiding. There's two elements there. One, I think she understands the assignment, which is to win the election.

And the best way to reach the most number of people and get them to change their mind is not the 1% of people who are high information voters. It's all the people who are showing up at rallies and screaming and yelling. Those are the people whose mind... She has changed so far, and that's how she's caught up and who she wants to change. And that's where she's putting her focus.

And two, and this is brutally honest, she has too long a windup in answering every single question. And that makes the interviews difficult. She wants to inspire everybody with everything that she answers and tries to get people all excited about what she's going to do. And so she takes too long to get to that. If you cut out the windups, her answers aren't so bad.
