00:00Here's what I want to understand.
00:01So your son manages or helps manage a cryptocurrency company called World Liberty Financial.
00:07Which son are we talking about?
00:08You are a co-owner of that company.
00:10That's correct.
00:11Right.
00:12This company is also partially owned by investors connected to the government of the United
00:17Arab Emirates.
00:18I think if I told you that story, and it was about the Biden family, if I said Joe Biden
00:22is the part owner of a company and it has all of these investments from the Middle East,
00:27you would say that sounds corrupt.
00:28Right?
00:29Well, he did have a lot of different things.
00:31Sure, but you.
00:31But here's the difference.
00:32But why is it different for you?
00:33Well, here's the difference.
00:34I'll tell you why.
00:34Because I know nothing about it.
00:36I made a lot of money before.
00:37But then why do you need the money?
00:39Why not just divest?
00:40Walk away?
00:40I do.
00:41Look.
00:41Most of my money is given to the biggest firms on Wall Street to invest in their index funds.
00:48So it came out that I traded like 40,000 stocks.
00:52So among the stocks would be like they'd have a tiny little amount.
00:56It's billions of dollars.
00:57It's billions.
00:58I understand that.
00:59I have no idea.
01:00But companies that are invested in by people in foreign countries, it seems like you could
01:04just walk away from that and then you would not be accused of corruption, right?
01:08But you have sons where they go around and they build buildings.
01:12That's what they do.
01:12That's what I did long before I became president.
01:14I did it better than anybody.
01:15I was very good at real estate.
01:17I made a lot of money.
01:18But I have a company.
01:19My sons are in the company.
01:21It's hard to say to them, don't do anything anymore for four years because I'm president.
01:26But you could divest from the company yourself and let them do whatever they want.
01:30That's all.
01:31You're not like sitting in the Oval Office thinking, thank God I have that 50 million in
01:34World Liberty Financial, right?
01:36So, I took a lot of heat because I think they traded like 50,000 stock because that's
01:41what they do.
01:41It's all computer generated.
01:42I have no idea what the hell they're buying.
