March 18, 2026 / 01:37

This episode discusses a groundbreaking philanthropic initiative involving a $567 billion commitment to support 25 million children in low-income areas. Key topics include the creation of accounts for children that can compound over time, the involvement of various stakeholders, and the potential economic impact of this initiative.

The conversation highlights the significance of this initiative as a major change to the social contract in America, referred to as Social Security 2.0. The initiative aims to provide $250 to children aged 2 to 10 in zip codes with a median income of $150,000 or less.

Guests discuss how the funds will be sourced from billionaires, corporations, and families, with an estimated $5 trillion potentially being moved into the hands of families over 15 years. The emphasis is on direct support to families rather than through government programs, which often dilute the funds.

The episode reinforces the idea that this initiative is not politically driven but rather a unifying effort to invest in America's future. The guests stress the importance of unlocking human potential through financial support.

TLDR

A $567 billion initiative aims to support 25 million children with direct financial accounts, transforming the social contract in America.

This is one of the greatest philanthropic gifts in the history of humanity. People have just kind of
00:00:07
glossed over to it because there's a lot of big numbers in the world, but we're
00:00:10
talking about you and Susan sat down and said, "We're going to give a number."
00:00:13
And that number was 567 billion. >> It's $250 to 25 million children ages 2 to 10 in
00:00:22
zip codes where the median income is $150,000 or less. >> It's $6.25 billion. This is Social
00:00:30
Security 2.0. This is the biggest change to the social contract in America in 50
00:00:35
years. 3.7 million kids a year will get an account that can compound. It's a
00:00:40
401k from birth. And yes, we're going to have a lot of announcements, but it's
00:00:45
not just billionaires. It's going to be companies that are donating stock on
00:00:49
their IPOs into these accounts. It's going to be wealthy people. It's going
00:00:53
to be states. It's going to be moms and dads. It's going to be corporations. And
00:00:57
the estimate is over 15 years we can move $5 trillion into the pockets of families that would have otherwise had
00:01:06
zero $5 trillion. If this $5 trillion moved through government programs, it would get incinerated.
00:01:13
>> Exactly. >> That's what we see happen. There's just a million crony structures that take it
00:01:18
away and destroy it. So to give it directly into the accounts is the circumstance. And it unlocks the human
00:01:23
potential. It's not just the money. It's that I'm in the game. I have a shot.
00:01:29
>> Invest America. It's not a red idea or a blue idea. It's a red, white, and blue
00:01:33
idea. Right.
