And we know a lot of young people don't know this, but a lot of people our age know what a socialist government, what socialist ideas mean." "I think disruption is really, you won't get progress without disruption because people would just stick around doing exactly what, you know, they've done for ages." "Countries that grow fast, be they in Southeast Asia, United States, across the world have generally lower taxes. The Baltic states, Estonia, places like that." "I'm an entrepreneur and virtually every entrepreneur I speak to is leaving or wanting to leave or planning to leave. Yeah. And I can see why they're doing that."
