In this country, we have a K-shaped recovery going on. We have immense tension between the haves and the
00:00:06
have-nots we to the point at which people actually believe that socialism and communism is a better operating
00:00:13
system than the best operating system humanity's ever created, which is called democracy plus capitalism, right? And
00:00:19
kids love love capitalism. They love building businesses. But we are in an existential moment right now. If these
00:00:27
kids believe young kids and there's a couple of generations of them right now who do not
00:00:31
believe in America anymore. While we're sitting here on the 250 50th anniversary
00:00:36
of this amazing experiment known as America, this is the most American thing you can do. This is the most beautiful
00:00:44
gift I've ever seen to a country and this could be something that's a unifying principle that brings us back
00:00:52
together as a country. That everybody gets to participate in capitalism. And this is the number one way to do it,
00:01:00
which is to let kids on their smartphone instead of saying, you know what? Mondavi's right. I should get a free bus
00:01:06
ride. I should get a free I should get free pizza. And we should take Ken Griffin's and and seize his, you know,
00:01:12
penthouse and say "Pay up or tear all that. This is like the perfect version of the giving pledge. Because
00:01:18
you're not just saying I'm giving away my wealth by the time I die. You're very strategically saying every single person
00:01:23
in America gets to be part of the best part of America, which is entrepreneurship and everybody will be
00:01:30
part of the equity nation. And we have a a large number of people in this country
00:01:34
who do not feel safe. And the reason they don't feel safe is because they don't think their kids are safe. To the
00:01:40
point at which people do not want to have kids in this country because they feel the system is just too hard.
00:01:45
This could change that. If people feel, "Hey, kids have a shot and I don't have to worry about my kids." I I worry about
00:01:52
my kids and I'm affluent. I can't imagine being a single parent and what anxiety you must have as a single mother
00:01:59
or father and you're and you're making minimum wage and and you're behind the you know, the eight ball for your entire
00:02:05
life. And now your kids are set. That's all people want. That's the only thing a
00:02:09
parent wants is to make sure their kids have a better future. That was the promise of this country and somehow it
00:02:15
went off the rails for the last two generations. This puts it back on the rails.
