I guess here was my point to the Biden administration that they didn't agree with or they ignored.

I said it.

You're making a mistake if you think that getting Silicon Valley folks on your side is about the money, because they would always say, oh, Biden's going to raise all this money.

We don't need the Valley's money.

I said, yeah, you're going to raise all the money.

And they did.

They raised tons of money.

Kamala Harris raised tons of money.

I said, that's not what it's about.

It's about culture.

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.
