Why I Think the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election will be the Most Important in our Lifetime

Let's do politics quickly. We have an election next year in the US that you've said is the most important election in our lifetime. You see populists on both sides of the debate. How do you—what's the end result there?

Well, I think we can all see that we have irreconcilable differences by sides. That will—if that's what I mean by populism—irreconcilable difference by sides that will not accept losing. And so you're seeing an emergence, even an emergence of should the Supreme Court matter? And do you put people in jail? And all of this kind of extremism.

So one side can't beat the other, and no good government, no good society exists with this kind of fighting, and this is not good governance. This has big implications. It has big economic and tax implications and money implications. Who do you get the money for?

So, this is something that people will fight over in their very ways. If it's not resolved, what we need is a very strong middle. Okay, we have to reform the system in a lot of ways to make sure it's great for most people, and that's a whole other—yeah, I'd love to have that conversation with you sometime because it's absolutely critical.

But it sounds like you think there's at least a chance that we don't end up with the Trump-Biden election. Yeah, the interesting election, the interesting race is going to begin really probably around South Carolina after that, right around that, between the alternative and Trump. Yeah, something to watch.
