SORKIN I don t ░░░░░░░░ but I ll just ░░░░░░░░ politically look here s ░░░░░░░░ political question The political ░░░░░░░░ is yes I do ░░░░░░░░ if you go back ░░░░░░░░ time and rethink the ░░░░░░░░ posture the business community ░░░░░░░░ clearly turned on this ░░░░░░░░ might be in a ░░░░░░░░ place right You go ░░░░░░░░ and look at how ░░░░░░░░ Obama or a Clinton ░░░░░░░░ with the Big Tech ░░░░░░░░ in the day BERNSTEIN ░░░░░░░░ me stop you there ░░░░░░░░ You know you had ░░░░░░░░ situation where you know ░░░░░░░░ would praise tech publicly ░░░░░░░░ then bring them into ░░░░░░░░ White House have conversations ░░░░░░░░ them in private and ░░░░░░░░ them a hard time ░░░░░░░░ don t know if ░░░░░░░░ s the right approach ░░░░░░░░ the wrong approach BERNSTEIN ░░░░░░░░ here is crosstalk SORKIN ░░░░░░░░ then I would go ░░░░░░░░ and then I d ░░░░░░░░ to the Elon Musk ░░░░░░░░ it all The truth ░░░░░░░░ that Elon Musk should ░░░░░░░░ have and could have ░░░░░░░░ I would have thought ░░░░░░░░ Biden supporter a natural ░░░░░░░░ supporter But the administration ░░░░░░░░ purposely tried to use ░░░░░░░░ boogeyman to use against ░░░░░░░░ unions BERNSTEIN I don ░░░░░░░░ think SORKIN And it ░░░░░░░░ him in to a ░░░░░░░░ just a Trump supporter ░░░░░░░░ one of the most ░░░░░░░░ and wealthy and big ░░░░░░░░ against your own campaign ░░░░░░░░ so BERNSTEIN So SORKIN ░░░░░░░░ me I look at ░░░░░░░░ things and say if ░░░░░░░░ go back in time ░░░░░░░░ you were if you ░░░░░░░░ advising him then you ░░░░░░░░ say OK let s ░░░░░░░░ s rethink this BERNSTEIN ░░░░░░░░ So look let me ░░░░░░░░ with a seasonal reference ░░░░░░░░ ifs and buts were ░░░░░░░░ and nuts then every ░░░░░░░░ would be Christmas So ░░░░░░░░ me a lot of ░░░░░░░░ of counterfactuals it could ░░░░░░░░ gone this way and ░░░░░░░░ have gone that way ░░░░░░░░ would stipulate that None ░░░░░░░░ those would made a ░░░░░░░░ in the in the ░░░░░░░░ outcome I mean there ░░░░░░░░ no way of knowing ░░░░░░░░ but all of the ░░░░░░░░ that you re mentioning ░░░░░░░░ me sound like pretty ░░░░░░░░ potatoes at the end ░░░░░░░░ the day when it ░░░░░░░░ to what people were ░░░░░░░░ in the economy And ░░░░░░░░ also think if you ░░░░░░░░ down that rabbit hole ░░░░░░░░ kind of lose the ░░░░░░░░ of what we re ░░░░░░░░ to talk about the ░░░░░░░░ couple of days I ░░░░░░░░ this legacy is important ░░░░░░░░ just because we want ░░░░░░░░ world to know how ░░░░░░░░ got to where we ░░░░░░░░ and how the bottom ░░░░░░░░ growth is a much ░░░░░░░░ effective set of policies ░░░░░░░░ trickle down economics but ░░░░░░░░ also make sure folks ░░░░░░░░ the seeds that we ░░░░░░░░ planted for foundational transformation ░░░░░░░░ this economy for years ░░░░░░░░ come This is the ░░░░░░░░ that the incoming administration ░░░░░░░░ inheriting and it is ░░░░░░░░ envy of the world ░░░░░░░░ if they nurture those ░░░░░░░░ we ve planted we ░░░░░░░░ going to have a ░░░░░░░░ better economy than than ░░░░░░░░ they don t So ░░░░░░░░ than the ifs and ░░░░░░░░ I d rather look ░░░░░░░░ where we are where ░░░░░░░░ re headed the legacy ░░░░░░░░ this president the foundational ░░░░░░░░ he s made and ░░░░░░░░ bottom up middle out ░░░░░░░░ that got us to ░░░░░░░░ we are today.”
