Right.

I look at the presidency.

There are moonshots going on everywhere.

China, AI, reindustrialization, India, Pakistan, Ukraine, you know, and Russia, what he's doing in the Middle East.

And if you think about moonshots, we all do these in Silicon Valley, these are high risk, high reward efforts.

We wanna back people who go for moonshots, but the reality is most people don't have the courage to go for moonshots because there's a high probability that it won't work.

But if you think about this for a second, after the horror of the October 7th attacks,

the chaos in Syria, the attacks by Yemen, the escalations fueled by Iran, the idea that the president, Witkoff, and you're right, Chamath, our friend Jared Kushner, could have overcome all of that, right?

And that could have been all-out war across the Middle East.

It could have plunged the entire Middle East into utter chaos.

But instead, he decapitated Iran.

We brought Syria into the fold.

We're on the verge of expanding the Abraham Accords.

And now you have this historic signing.

You know, we saw it with our own eyes when Sachs and I were over there on the president's visit.

You know, he is respected as a strong leader and liked in every one of these capitals that you go to, you know, and it's paying off.

If this happens, Witkoff, Kushner and the president all deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

If even 80 percent of it works out, I think it's worthy of a peace prize.

Well, I think, listen, nobody wants abusive tactics, but let me just give you some numbers that cause me to believe this feels more like, you know, a bipartisan issue.

And we have kind of the pendulum swinging back more than, you know, something that should cause us concern.
