i mean it would be pretty horrifying to
00:00:01
run for office It seems like a terrible
00:00:02
job And I think the the root age to run
00:00:04
for president is now in your 70s So I
00:00:06
have like three decades to consider it
00:00:08
But if I were going to run I would be
00:00:10
running on the basic idea that in this
00:00:13
country the only thing that you are
00:00:14
promised is is the adventure I'm not
00:00:16
going to lie to you I'm not going to
00:00:17
make you promises that I can't keep
00:00:18
about how I'm going to fix your life
00:00:20
because the truth is I really can't All
00:00:22
I can do is help get the obstacles out
00:00:23
of the way so you can fix your life and
00:00:24
you can make your life better One of the
00:00:26
things that that drives me up a wall is
00:00:27
when politicians say "I created X jobs
00:00:30
or or we created X jobs." You didn't
00:00:32
create a job Okay The government does
00:00:34
not create jobs The government can take
00:00:36
money from people and then give it to
00:00:37
other people But it is only
00:00:38
entrepreneurs who can create jobs And so
00:00:41
the the way that you fight China off is
00:00:43
not by the power of a centralized
00:00:45
government directing people in a
00:00:46
particular direction And the way that
00:00:47
you fight off China is by unleashing the
00:00:50
collective knowledge wisdom and ambition
00:00:52
of the American people on an individual
00:00:53
level to go out and do all of these
00:00:55
unbelievable things And that that would
00:00:57
be the promise that I'd make to the
00:00:57
American people is I'll get everybody
00:00:59
the hell out of your way so you can
00:01:00
succeed
