We want to get to all of this.

But I really do feel like we'd be remiss

to not ask you about what's going on in your home state.

And I feel like those who are listening might be curious if you were asked to sign this letter of CEOs who want a de-escalation of what's happening in Minneapolis specifically.

So were you aware that this letter was happening or were you asked to sign it?

So would you have signed it, though, if asked?

Yeah, I would have signed that.

We talk so much about leadership at this time, and I am curious what you see as the responsibility of leaders in the United States when we see situations happening where it feels like, and again, I don't want to get political, I don't want to take sides, but it does feel like Americans are being what some would say is targeted unfairly.

And I know we've talked about this too, Dan, with you about being in a prolonged downturn in the industrial economy.

Any green shoots that you are seeing or signs of an inflection?

And if so, I'm just curious what markets might you be optimistic and which are maybe running weaker than you anticipated and maybe will continue to this year?

So that's the good part, right?

That's the good part.

That story we keep hearing about the AI build-out, the data center build-out, you saw it firsthand.

It's real.

You know, one of the things I want to ask you, too, there was a story on my read-in this morning, Dan, in terms of Volkswagen saying that they're going to, they had plans for a possible Audi factory in the United States.

They're not progressing due to President Donald Trump's tariffs and unsuccessful talks for local incentives.

So we have certainly seen an administration that talks about all the investment money coming into the U.S.

And I think we here at Bloomberg continue to try and figure out

How much of this is actually going to play out?
