Most Americans put foreign affairs today at one or two percent of their concern.

Economy and many other issues are high on their list.

And he's been pretty clear, hey, we're not going to put boots on the ground.

And then there's this anti-Semitic underpinning that's happening in America that's become pretty acute.

And you had Rubio, who we mentioned earlier, say, hey, we did this because the Israelis were going in anyway, and we had no choice.

And then they walked that back.

Explain to the audience how we should look at that turn of events where there's a group of people in America, specifically people in the MAGA party, who believe Trump has betrayed them and that he's captured by the Israeli government in some way.

And he's doing their bidding.

I'm not saying that that's my perspective, but that is an undertone that we're seeing.

And that's something new in our lifetime, I think.

Why is that so low?

There are two major challenges they have, I believe.

One of them is population decline.

The other is unemployment.

And the AI that we've seen and what's hitting first could hit them in a major way.

Manufacturing is moving to robotics at an alarming place.

Then you have things like self-driving, which is a major job there for many people.

So...

On those two axes, when you see the youth unemployment, which I think is 15 or 20% in some locations in China, and the population decline, is that Xi's two biggest challenges to deal with?

At the World Economic Forum, I wasn't sure if it was Davos or another one of their forums.
