You're in a run for the president of the United States.

Why?

Certainly from a third party perspective,

the odds have got to be long.

So why are you doing it?

I saw something happening to my country that I couldn't really

imagine. I saw this huge division that's so toxic now, so poisonous. I don't

think we've seen anything like this since the American Civil War and it's all

amplified by the social media algorithms that are pushing us farther and farther into our positions into these kind of

tribal positions. But the origin of it is the, I believe, the capture of our political parties by corporate interests and the corruption that's come from that.

Is that true on both sides?

Democratic and Republicans?

And they're both owned by, you know, interests that are not necessarily America's interests.

Do you believe that our educational system is on the brink of catastrophic collapse?

I think it's already collapsed. I think you know the outcomes that you just

inventoryed is evidence of a utter collapse of the system.

We can fix the system, but you need to be able to, you need to do something disruptive.

Which of course takes money and I want to talk about money

when your uncle was president, he seemed to have the idea that a lower tax rate brought about a higher tax revenue.

What's your view on that?

I'm not going to raise the tax rates in this country. I may switch around some of the tax burdens to incentivize the best

behavior, but I'm not going to raise taxes. We want to lower tax rates as much as possible. You know, we have a $34 trillion debt. And we can't just print money. I saw, I'm President Trump on your show and it was a very amazing and it was an amazing show and I think you really bring out the best in people and I know that your objective.
