however, given the global landscape today, the question that also arises is whether multilateral organizations are ready to address the new world order and new challenges. are they still capable of doing so? when these institutions were created the situation was quite different. today, circumstances have changed. they are very different. therefore, it is the responsibility of every democratic country to focus on reforms of these institutions so that we make them capable of addressing present and future challenges. i am confident that there would be positive dialogue on this subject in davos in the discussion that are taking place there. france, in the midst of these new challenges, today the world need news pathways. it needs to make new resolutions. today, more than ever before countries need each other's help. this is the only path to a better future. i am confident that the discussion taking place in davos will further expand on these thoughts. once again, i am very hap ofpy y best wishes to you. thank you very much. weekends on c-span 2 are an intellectual feast every saturday american history tv documents america's story a

cases, weaker nationals or of from the weaker community who are being used often allegedly with no wages in slave like conditions. and i think consumers around the world are much more attuned to what companies get up to social media. not least has been very helpful in lifting the lid on a corporate behavior. so i think there will certainly be concerns that tesla is perhaps a company that is defying american legislation, even though perhaps technically it isn't. but it might be perceived that way, and we know that in the marketing world, perceptions are everything. you know, you might have the facts, but you also have what people perceive and believe. and that's the piece that tesla needs to pay attention to. allison briefly, if you can, what kind of line are companies walking essentially between the u. s. and china right now, trying to satisfy both sides on this issue. i think for corporate leaders, the big challenge is staying true to their values and staying true to their investors. now, they're not mutually exclusive. they don't need to ever be mutually exclusive. but in many cases, i think companies need to make a decision about whether operating

the moment are better connected than the people who are in favor of democracy. it works the other way as well. every time we passed the voter suppression law. it's completely visible all around the worldes not only part of propaganda for beijing or moscow but also part of the daily existence to other democracies that are disheartened by the things that we do. and to treat all around the world is not a coincidence. it is a single process we are a major part and in which everything we do has global implications. the second point has to do with ideology which applebaum also raised it's completely correct to say that in general with the lack of ideology or lack of common ideology. but we can turn that around and ask about ourselves. what exactly is it we stand for? i think we have a problem in representing the ideals and the achievements of democracy actually are. we took a bit of a mental and a moral break that history was over. there was no alternatives with larger mechanical outside forces. like capitalism. it's important to recognize that we have learned that is simply not true. those including the market which is a good thing but no outside forces which bring democracy on their own.

teams across the world are patching. and one of the interesting trade-offs that we have to make is there's other things going on in the world right now. i would look squarely at the russian soldiers are massing on the ukrainian border, those geopolitical tensions there, increased attention between china and taiwan -- if those escalate further, it will not just be little green men in tanks rolling across the border, there will be digital operations that a company any first movement. so there is a significant amount of preparation that should be happening here in the u.s. and in allied countries, to support ukraine and some of the other areas of operation that may be affected. they are doing a fantastic job. the cards are stacked against them, but given that they are making progress. >> thank you for that. i want to note for the audience, you know, in our discussion of democracy, there has been bipartisanship, that these are things that democrats and the public and share a, perspective on. michael, i want to ask about the i
