frank. i can try to relay the questions to you as they come in. i encourage folks to use the q&a option there in zoom. we have a question from robert. he says, "i am wondering about bradford's education. he quotes seneca at one point and in another place, bradford writes, being thus past a vast ocean in a sea of troubles. " this is, of course, similar to shakespeare, where it is asked whether it is nobler to take arms against a sea of troubles. is there any possibility that bradford knew of shakespeare was , or was this just a common metaphor of the time? dr. bremer: i think it is very likely that he knew of the works of shakespeare. bradford is an interesting person, because he did not have any education beyond the home and presumably a local grammar school. he is not one of the puritans, for instance, who went to either oxford or cambridge university. but he was always interested in what we would call self-education. he read extensively. we can tell from the inventory at his death, he had a very large collection of books. and, of course, as robert mentioned, there are frequent mentions in his writings that indicate a familiarity w

the -- to assess the damage as frank is talking about, the impact, the harm that has been done and to discuss options for retaliation against russia? >> yeah, well roberts national security adviser cut short a trip to europe to come home and convene meetings on this subject to try to get a handle on just how bad this is, how extensive this is and what they could say about the origin and what the consequences are. we don't know yet what they're considering as a possible response and we haven't heard from the president yet about this. he has been basically quiet about it. not just in person, but on twitter of course. he's willing to say things on twitter when he sees news on television, yet this one he's been quiet on. that is just caution. i think other presidents might be cautious to understand the situation before they engage in a hostile kind of battle of rhetoric if not actual consequences but there is such a pattern of a president who has been reluctant, as you showed in the videos, to say anything critical of vladimir putin, anything critical of russia. even his own administration does take action below him without him talking about it. there have
