There was a time when they were also very much at the cutting edge of technology. But I think that's kind of waned. And, you know, depending on once again, this is sort of a little feared from where I'm an actual expert. Unlike everybody else, I actually identify when I am and when I'm not. I find it's helpful to me, but not other people.

But I do believe that depending on how the war is resolved, then it will be resolved. I mean, it's just there's no question the wars are not eternal any more than trade agreements should be. But when that happens, I think you will see economic relations reestablish. I'd be flabbergasted if you didn't. The reality is that there will be demand. There will be people that can sell.

There are things you can do. But a lot of it is how it is resolved. If it's resolved in a way that Europe and others view themselves as still more or less being at war – then you're going to have a very slow recovery economically. If you view themselves as like we've turned a page and we're in a new decade, then my guess is you'll see people move more quickly.

Labor—remember, there's—Democratic Party is a bunch of different things, like we are, I guess. And Labor Democrats should do that. Remember, when I was—when I really grossed out at the USMCA, the president and I did, and then I worked its way through Congress. And during this toxic time of impeachment and all of this, we worked it through for months and months and months in Congress.

And in the final analysis— got 90% of the Democrats and 90% of the Republicans to vote for it in the House and in the Senate. It's one of these things that people don't remember, but it was, you know, whatever the hell we had, 385 votes in the House for it.

People don't give us credit for that, but it was like historic. And so they're impeaching the president and voting for maybe one of the biggest parts of his legacy. And there were a lot of Democrats particularly in the House, who were key to that happening. I don't know how I missed all this. I'll tell you a story. We have John Lewis, who was obviously not president at all, but who I admire.
