Thank you for having me.

Absolutely. I appreciate it. Getting up a little bit early today. You're from Colorado there and I'm in Kansas City. So just an hour apart. Trying to stay close today, not traveling outside North America for the podcast. But Chase, I'm going to jump right into your first question here. As the executive director of Make America Wealthy Again, or MAWA super pac, can you elaborate on the organization's primary objectives and the strategies you're implementing to achieve them?
B (1:03)
Yes. We have a three point plan which is a economic, representative and legislative agenda. On the economic, we want to empower young people to participate in politics. On the legislative agenda, we want to enshrine wealth preservation and creation into law. And on the representative side, we want to get representatives into Congress and government who respect this initiative and return the power to the next generation of young wealth creators. Great.

Thank you. I appreciate that. You did highlight those three things, economic, obviously, legislative and representative. Right. We want to ensure that we're doing the right thing and passing this on to generations to come. So I appreciate it and looking forward to following more on MAWA for sure. So Chase Mala emphasizes empowering young creators and entrepreneurs in the digital economy. Could you discuss the specific tax policy proposals you've put forward to support this demographic?
B (2:06)
In line with the current administration, we think that 0% tax on digital assets will allow the United States to be the leader in the world. With this digital economy, people from abroad will pour their money into the country. People in the country will keep their innovation in the United States and hire Americans and continue to invest in technologies that are developed in America and go abroad. If you look at a lot of the technology in the digital asset space now it's American technology and American creators. However, they have kept a lot of that innovation overseas. If you look at Apple, you look at Google, you look at Meta, they keep a lot of their money outside of the country. They benefit from a 2 to 3% corporate tax. If you look at many of the cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance protocols, those are American cryptographers, American technologists, but those assets are held outside of the United States. And we think with a straightforward tax policy that will bring trillions of dollars back into the United States and give it the opportunity to really become a leader.
