| 0:00.0 | I mean, I can certainly understand, I would call it the luxury of being able to do that, |
| 0:07.0 | which not many have. So having it, obviously, it's, you know, anybody who's in that position, |
| 0:14.0 | it's their prerogative to do so. To me, there is another half to the All We Are is statement of a tax base on a cog in the machine that contributes financially. |
| 0:26.6 | Is that the other side of that coin, in my opinion, are examples being set in real time that people can observe, that set the standard and the expectation for how we should |
| 0:41.5 | behave and conduct ourselves and contribute to society on the ground here. I do think that's |
| 0:46.7 | important. Because if everybody who has that ability says, we're going to let this one ride out and go somewhere else. |
| 0:55.3 | Now you have nobody, you know, knocking the kid off the bike for being an asshole in your |
| 1:02.0 | neighborhood or, you know, whatever. I mean, there's a million examples of setting that example |
| 1:06.9 | that I do think are important. No different, you know, because if we use the adolescent adage or |
| 1:13.1 | comparison, you know, it's like, how do you be a father to your kids, you know, from another |

| 1:38.3 | Yeah, I understand that point of view, and I would layer onto that. |
| 1:43.3 | Yes, it's every individual's |
| 1:45.2 | prerogative, but there's also, and again, this is, this is me speaking personally, there's a |
| 1:51.1 | level of prioritization. I am a father. I am a father first. I am also an American. I am also a veteran. I am also a business owner, but I only have a limited |
| 2:03.6 | period of time to be the role model and to be the protector and to be the provider for my |
| 2:10.6 | children. |
| 2:11.6 | So if my priority is them, I have to do everything that I can do to give them the most opportunities, the best experience, |
| 2:19.2 | the most well-rounded lifestyle, the most exposure to the world that is the world that I will |
| 2:27.3 | be leaving them while I have them. I often tell my wife, if we didn't have children, we would most likely stay in the United States. |
| 2:36.0 | For all the reasons that I already shared with you, like, it's going to be a very good time to be an entrepreneur and to be wealthy in the United States. |
