I'm doing all right.
How about yourself?
Well, I think ultimately what we're seeing in a lot of these countries is the opposite in some ways.
I mean, for example, the secretary speaking to so many countries, you also have for this ministerial over 50 countries that have over already confirmed their attendance and we expect more.
So what we're actually seeing is many of these countries around the world recognizing this is the problem that it is.
We saw designations from the State Department a few months ago.
identifying specific groups within Europe for their violent terrorist activity.
And fundamentally, this has been a gap that's existed for many decades, ignored by previous administrations, and we're no longer ignoring it now.
We're identifying these transnational networks to make sure we know where the money's going to, how these are connected, working with our partners, identifying them.
And that's why the foreign policy element of this is so important, because so many of these groups are actually transnational.
So we're making sure we're addressing this gap in our counterterrorism strategy and dismantling these networks.
Well, we do see a connection between groups across what might be conceived as normal ideologies.
But we are addressing all of those different groups.
This doesn't mean that we're not addressing terrorist threats from other avenues.
And we have taken concrete actions to address threats from Islamist groups, for example, and other groups that we have been combating for a very long time and continue to.
But we are also making sure we're addressing this threat.
And we are seeing connections across groups.
And what we're talking about are groups that oftentimes self-identify with Antifa.
They self-identify.
So when we look at a specific group, we are looking, when we're talking about designations, for example, the activity they're doing, kidnappings.
