Video transcript

It's President Trump's election to lose. Now, uh President Biden has a decent record. He's resort some manufacturing, he's built up uh a microprocessor foundries in the United States. He got infrastructure bill done. There's a, a lot of different things that he did that were beneficial to the country helped the country heal post COVID. Uh but they've really lost the plot on a lot of different things. You know, if you can't put sentences together at a debate, if you can't work as the president United States without a teleprompter and you can't free form as you and I are doing in this conversation. I think it's a big negative. I think you're trying to tell people don't believe your lying eyes. You know, this person is totally together and totally with it. And then let's put him up on stage at age 81 and you see him dotter, I feel like I feel actually bad for him. Um I guess what I would say to President Biden. There are graveyards filled with men. Charles De Gaulle once said this, there are graveyards filled with men that once thought they were indispensable. Uh They would have been better off ceding to a new generation of democratic leaders. Uh And then Biden could have wrote off in the sunset with a pretty good record. So now they're faced with this uh very rough decision to make 100 and 20 days out from the election as it relates to Mr Trump. I am happy that he's pro crypto. I think if anything, he's pushed the conversation and force the Democrats to be more open to it and maybe we'll get rid of the Gensler's and the Warrens who have been a disaster for the industry.
