00:00As you talk about the regulations and the banking and everything, as we go into this election, what is the voters' decision, small business owners, what is their decision?

00:15Is it Trump versus Biden is the decision, but who is going to be better for them?

00:20If you could explain who is going to be better for them if they're a small business owner, even someone launching a small business?

00:26You talked about regulation and not moving the goalposts and knowing what to expect, no matter what the regulation might be, just knowing what to expect.

00:35Brian, you talked about illegal immigration. You talked about fentanyl. You talked about 11 million people pouring into this country illegally that we know of.

00:43Sir, you talked about safety. You talked about keeping the AR-15. You talked about what's happening in the streets here in Atlanta.

00:49You're asking me about who we should pick, one or the other. President Trump is running on everything that we just said.

00:56That is the crux and the very premise of what he is running on, what he is focused on.

01:02He will give up, give a two and a half hour speech, but at the end of the day, he is hitting on these things in multiple ways from multiple angles.

01:09If you look at this on its face, Joe Biden is doing none of the above.

01:14I would even argue he is running against the things that we are talking about here right now.

01:19This is really a binary choice that President Trump is articulating every single day, while Joe Biden right now is hunkered for a week trying to figure out how he's going to speak tomorrow night.

01:31It's up to us in this room to articulate that in a way. This is a binary choice.

01:37The things that we want, the things that we are talking about, President Trump just called in right now on the phone and talked to us about it.

01:44Who does that? That's the most famous person on planet Earth.

01:49It's funny.

01:53Quick question. Back to Wesley. Would Joe Biden just get an impromptu call?

02:01Come on. Come on. No.

02:04Because I know leaders of Congress who can't get an impromptu call with him for ten minutes.

02:07No.

02:08They can't get an impromptu. Sorry. Go ahead.

02:10No, no. That's big. Because access to the decision maker makes a big difference in business.

02:14What you are talking about, this is our language. Having access to the decision maker and he can call in.

02:19This has been great. And I appreciate you being able to pull that off.

02:22That's a nice little trick you did.

02:25More importantly, here's something I think is really important.

02:31Something Dr. Carson just touched on and everybody, but that divisiveness.

02:38When we leave this, there's going to be a whole lot of conversation.

02:42You hear these black guys come and talk about Trump and this, that, and the other.

02:45Here in Atlanta, we're in Atlanta. We're the black Mecca.

02:47So not only is it the black Mecca, this is Wakanda.

02:52In the black community, we call this Wakanda.

02:54This is black business, this is black educators, this is black doctors, this is black excellence.

03:00When we leave this place, they're going to have conversations.

03:03Come on.
