I'll be very clear about this: I'm not a fan of getting rid of Dodd-Frank.

I am not a crook.

There are people who say, 'Oh, he's a crook.' But I'm not a crook.

I feel that if you can play on the streets or in a comedy club, then in a theatre it's a doddle because you've got an audience.

I think Dodd-Frank has contributed to a concentration of banking assets in the hands of a small number of banks.

Dodd-Frank is a direct cause of the economic struggles millions of Americans continue to face today. The law provides so much regulation that it is a burden on the economy.

Certainly, some of the anti-bank rhetoric has shifted a little bit, but on either side of the aisle, there seems to be different tacts. On one side of the aisle, you see a proposed scaling back of Dodd-Frank. On the other, a proposed reinstatement of Glass-Steagall.

I mean, Dodd-Frank is strangling small community banks. It doesn't make any difference what the interest rate is. They're not - they're not going to loan the money because they can't make any money for one thing plus the cost of compliance.

The number one problem with Dodd-Frank is it's way too complicated, and it cuts back lending, so we want to strip back parts of Dodd-Frank that prevent banks from lending, and that will be the number one priority on the regulatory side.
