There's a lot of positives to allowing people to get information, being on social media, but you can't have exploitation.
You can't have pedophilia.
You can't have pornography.
You can't be having algorithms feed junk on social media to young girls where they're thinking of eating disorders or suicide.
And we've allowed a lot of the social media to get out of hand and not protect our kids.
And I'm the guy who represents Silicon Valley.
I'm for innovation.
I'm for technology.
But you do that with common sense that you protect kids on these platforms.
Mm-hmm.
I've gotten quite a lot of hot water on that one.
You know what I found out, though?
You know who was the first person to propose one of these taxes, one of the first people?
Donald Trump, when he was running for president in 2000, he called for a 14.5% tax on anyone making over $10 million.
And he said, if you're wealthy, you can pay a tax.
And since I don't know what he thinks now.
But my point is this.
Look, I'm all for entrepreneurs.
And I'm all for people making billions of dollars.
Fine.
