I've met with owners of Tik Tock the big owners it's worthless if it doesn't get
00:00:05
a permit with a permit it's worth like a trillion dollars so what I'm thinking about saying to somebody is buy it and
00:00:11
give half to the United States of America half and we'll give you the permit let me just make a prediction for
00:00:18
the future there's a question that this raises which is does it make sense for the American government to be a little
00:00:25
bit smarter going forward about how it allocates incentives and resources wouldn't it make sense where when you
00:00:31
create incredible economic incentives and upside for private investors and investment for some portion of that gain
00:00:37
to go back to the American people is that a bad thing I don't think so would it enrich America I think so would it
00:00:43
make it easier for people to feel like they're participating in all of these incredible gains I also think so my
00:00:49
prediction is that this becomes more of a template for the future it'll be more about creating incentives and allocating
00:00:55
those incentives for a share of The Upside and I think that there is a really strong economic argument for
00:01:02
America to do that we're going to have a sovereign wealth fund which we've never
00:01:06
had the extraordinary size and scale of the US government and the business it does with companies should create value
00:01:15
for American citizens and as an example Tik Tock we're going to be doing something perhaps with Tik Tock and
00:01:21
perhaps not and we might put that in the Sovereign wealth fund
