I said, there are a lot of young people in America who admire these entrepreneurs, who listen to all in, who want to build wealth, who want to build the next generation of wealth.

By the way, all crypto is, why are there so many young black and Latino folks who care about crypto?

Frankly, it's the closest often they're going to get to a friends and family round in technology.

We've got to expand economic opportunities so they have more options.

But there are a lot of people who want to have a part of the digital economy, who look up to entrepreneurs and innovators.

And you basically let Trump, this 1980s real estate guy, who was kind of passe, who was wondering whether we were going to get more reruns of The Apprentice and another act on politics,

And you let him be the cool guy with hanging out with all these tech folks saying, no, I'm the future.

And I said, that's the worst mistake our party has made because we've got to be the party of the future.

We've got to be the party of entrepreneurship and innovation.

And you can be like me, a guy who says we should tax.

Well, economic patriotism is my platform.

That's why Bannon says, you know, watch out for this kind of guy.

I've been talking about and writing about economic patriotism for years.

I would say, let me talk about why it's different from where Trump is, and it gets to partly your point.

I think, fine, he listens, but he's not listening enough to people saying, well, the tariff policy is not going to get us to economic development.

He's not listening enough, in my view, to people who are saying that you can't just take a sledgehammer to universities and research, that that's not going to help build the economy of this country.

He's not listening enough to people who are saying, don't just have all this vetting for international students and don't insult immigrants coming to the United States.

We do need immigrants.

Now, I agree that he gave some of those answers and all in, but overall, there hasn't been the same

understanding a case for the role of immigrants in the community.
