One thing that's interesting, about 5
00:00:01
million kids have signed up for Trump
00:00:03
accounts, a 1.2 million eligible for a
00:00:06
thousand Treasury seed deposits. The
00:00:08
accounts were created through Trump's
00:00:09
big beautiful bill and are set to
00:00:10
officially launch July 4th. I have the
00:00:12
several friends who are just doing it.
00:00:13
It's like thousand free dollars. Like,
00:00:15
why not? Let's take the money and and
00:00:17
use it to save for college or whatever
00:00:19
you want to save for for kids.
00:00:21
>> I love the concept of every infant born
00:00:24
giving them some money and letting
00:00:25
compound, you know, the most powerful
00:00:27
force in the universe. I would have gone
00:00:28
much deeper than this. For $40 billion a
00:00:30
year, you could give $7,000 to every
00:00:33
baby. And then I would totally
00:00:34
infantilize them and not let them touch
00:00:36
it till they're 65. And then in 20 or 30
00:00:38
years, you announce in another 20 or 30
00:00:40
years, we're no longer going to need
00:00:41
social security cuz everyone's going to
00:00:42
have a million bucks at 65. Interest
00:00:44
rates dive and it pays for itself. But
00:00:46
our Congress doesn't want to think
00:00:48
faster than their [ __ ] 2in dicks.
00:00:50
>> This is free money. You know, someone
00:00:53
cheapest said, "Oh, I took a tropic
00:00:54
out." I'm like, "Are you kidding? Grab
00:00:55
it." Like absolutely take a truck
00:00:58
account. Yeah. If you're eligible.
