between various things. but the one thing that it never traded off its own growth and, you know, i think a pretty challenging environment work in. and i think one of the reasons why not just francis but a whole bunch of other employees got disaffected and walked i mean, i think to some degree. the book that i wrote is was only possible because facebook meta brought in a whole bunch of extremely smart people, told them to wo on things that were clearly societally important where lives were at stake and you know, ask them for solutions. they came up with solutions and i met, i said, thanks, but we don't really want to do that. and you know, you break people way. it's like one thing if you know your boss want to take your opinion about, you know, how to boost ad sales a fraction of a percent, it's another thing when you know your, boss is unwilling to do that might address the mental health and well-being of of teenagers or. the you know, a genocide in myanmar or, you know, the safety of the u.s. elections. tho

there are other things. we are trying to unpack a complex network of trade-offs, so we do coverage analysis and signature analysis. that is probably where i will start. the whole story starts with sensors. they drive every other piece of the puzzle. there are to be of the things that i want to tell you. i think the first thing that i want to say is that the same things that make hypersonic weapons so unique and difficult to counter are the same things that introduce new vulnerabilities into the system. we will be talking mtly about infrared, but i want to sayhat there were other signatures to look for. the surface of the vehicle reacts with the high-pressure air and generates unique gas products that could be detectable in other wavelengths. i just want to say that is important. i want to tell you how the trade-offs affect the final architecture. we are primarily talking about infrared and i want to show you some of the complexities with this problem. they change in brightness over time, but i do not think a

a good thing. yes i think if you look at earlier chapters of the internet, it was not the case that everybody was paying attention. i think when the internet began. i think a lot of people thought it was a fad. and i think, you know, the silver lining of all of the attention on ai is there's a lot of attention on ai, and that means that you have the scrutiny of not just folks outside of the company, but folks inside of the company. i think one of the things a lot of people don't understand about our companies is like, you have a whole lot of very serious people who've spent their whole life thinking about ai safety and what does bias mean, what is an unbiased data set look like? what is toxicity mean? how would we measure it? how would we measure it in hindi? how would we measure it in bengali? how would we measure it in a language we don't have a huge corpus of on the internet? these are each of these questions. it turns out, is hard but important. and i think one thing that i think a lot of outsi

one of the things you know a lot about you know, psychotherapy and things like that.d one of the things always madden me about self—help books and books there is, is books and books on there is, is the ones that start off with goal orientation and set yourself goals. and i think it's the most dangerous and despicable, inimical thing imaginable because i don't know a human being who , when they a human being who, when they reaches a goal, they've set themselves, isn't dissatisfied, absolutely. an absolutely. always an anti—climax. and you have to, you know, it's, uh, so many of the nobel prize winners get very depressed when they win the nobel prize. i can imagine exactly. >> because. because what do they do next? yeah and apparently the great chess players always get very after huge energy very depressed after huge energy . so like these guys here, i can see there they are. >> they're getting to the end of their game though i can see. yes, one of them's got two queens. >> yeah . with me. >> john cleese on . gb news. is >> john cleese on. gb news. is there any way we c

thing?inish section >> let us finish this section with the sun. bruce yes, much more . more. >> my kind of thing. >> my kind of thing. >> this is to do with tyson fury's next big fight, which isn't against anthony joshua again, it's against the tax man right after the champ and his dad, john, are accused of dodging a massive bill. so this is to do with council tax of £82,000, which is on an adjacent property. well it's on the it's adjacent to his £1.5 million property. now, the thing is, his actual house is 1.5 million, 1.5 million. >> that's not very much for the world. >> well , where does he live? in >> well, where does he live? in steel still. okay so i don't even know where that is. and i did try and watch some of the netflix documentary about them, but i thought i thought maybe he's few properties. yeah, he's got a few properties. yeah, no, is, the fury's no, but the thing is, the fury's apparently are jointly worth 134 million. so i don't something it's not like a privilege . it's not

, a lot of things. he wants to get done and spoiler alert, actually, a lot of things do get when you look at this administration and you look at what actually got done, there's actually quite a lot of legislation passed there. some there are some real foreign policy low points, but there's also some achievements it's not a do nothing in ministry. so one of the kind of puzzles of of studying carter but it is also the case that when everything is a priority nothing is a priority. and the final part of this is carter himself was coming to this not only his georgia political background, but also his background as an engineer in navy, somebody was really details quite a people who were around him at the time described him as as an intellectual, as somebody really did his homework, but also as someone who really had a tendency to really want to be involved. all of the details. and when you're the president and this is your agenda, you can be involved in all of the details. so some of this is some of this has

whatever age is a good thing. >> and the last thing to know who you are and who you are all the time and people from a young age trying to figure out who am i and the sense you are and that; right? and if you want everyone around you to be you. that's where all the joys is. >> engagement is critical energy and family whatever be games spiritual and even with grujz we think we'll get over them (laughter.) >> sometimes you have to let things go a family member in work anymore let it go and say. okay. >> that's the way what it is. >> thank you so much for coming today and i feel like learning and hearing your stories your life stories is encouraging and people say that it has more meaning what they've done it themselves and what they've done in life and very super inspiring to hear from everyone i'm super, super glad. >> thank you for sharing our stories. >> thank you. >> a new community. >> a new tribe. >> yeah. the board of directors and parking authority commission. good afternoon directors, staff and members of the public. we thank you for joining us. this meeting is being held in h

, a lot of things. he wants to get done and spoiler alert, actually, a lot of things do get when you look at this administration and you look at what actually got done, there's actually quite a lot of legislation passed there. some there are some real foreign policy low points, but there's also some achievements it's not a do nothing in ministry. so one of the kind of puzzles of of studying carter but it is also the case that when everything is a priority nothing is a priority. and the final part of this is carter himself was coming to this not only his georgia political background, but also his background as an engineer in navy, somebody was really details quite a people who were around him at the time described him as as an intellectual, as somebody really did his homework, but also as someone who really had a tendency to really want to be involved. all of the details. and when you're the president and this is your agenda, you can be involved in all of the details. so some of this is some of this has

second thing i will say is the thing we can really do, there are two things we can do with our policy that matter. one is to enforce the fair housing laws so we have powers to enforce fair housing laws. they are shared around of the bank regulation but that's an important one. of the second one, and may be the single most important thing we can do is if you look back at the long expansion that ended withex a pandemic, the expansion that's recorded in the u.s. history, ten years and eight months what started happening in the last three years was most of the games were going to people with lower entity income spectrum. the gap between black unemployment and white unemployment was at historic close. and by the way the economy wasn't overheating or anything like that. we were looking at this and thinking this is so good for the united states, for america and it canst go on and keep going. very beneficial. the first thing we can do is use our tools to get back to this in an extended period of strong labor market conditions. we know what that does. we heard stories like this, companies were

physical thing, you need to have a lot more physical things involved. in order to make the ai and the user projecting polygraph whatever machine it is that will create the virtual avatar in the room, you have to send kids in the minds in africa to get the rare metals and put huge factories around water to get cobalt and pollution out and in and you have to have energy and solar panels that they will get energy from the sun but how is the solar panel made and where is it stored? he is describing more physical matter being used to deny human beings of actual physical presence. the avatar is a great substitute. grandma isn't netherlands and the baby is in cleveland and they can see each other. that is beautiful. or someone stuck in a hospital bed or as a paraplegic and can have a virtual expense of togetherness at a picnic they wouldn't be able to get to, that is beautiful. people who can actually be together, the complexity of human relationship just imagine the complexity of a mother nursing a baby. we could get a virtual bottle and virtual mother associ

the second thing is the thing we can really do, there are two things we can really do with our policy. that matters. one of those moments is to enforce the fair housing clause. we have powers to enforce fair housing laws. not all those powers are shared among bank regulators, but that's an import one. the second is set -- may be the single most import we can do. when you look at the expansion with the pandemic. the longest in u.s. history, 10 years and eight months. the last three years most of the gains were going to the people at the lower end of the income spectrum. the gap between black and white unemployment was at historic lows. the economy was not overheating or anything. we were looking at this saying, this is so good for the united states, so good for america and it can go on. we can use our tools to get back to what amounts to an extended time of strong labor market conditions. companies were going into prisons and finding people that were not going to get out for a year or so, meeting them, starting to train them and get them because there were not enough workers. it is the

same thing in the asia theater.hina could have incentives to news -- toulouse -- china could have incentive to use nuclear coercion, and we want to have a response to that, so the commission calls for theater based on nuclear weapons in the in the pacific. we have a number of characteristics we think those capabilities should have -- low yield, survivability, etc., but we don't pick winners and losers. there could be other answers to that. mr. gordon: what might the other answers be? mr. kroenig: if you go back to the cold war, we have a lot of different systems, so there could be a lot of different things. some people have talked about having a ground launch capability now that the united states is out of the intermediate range nuclear enforcement treaty. that could be an option. some might say some of the systems we have planned -- maybe bombers or fighter aircraft with gravity bombs or cruise missiles could maybe fit that description. again, we don't want to pick winners and losers. we just want to describe the c

the only way you would be able to do anything on things that are popular like term limits and things,ou have to get voters from blue states. thank you. do you want to do one? count down let it count. is he in japan? tell him thanks for his service. you know these are obsolete now, right? is that a constitutional carry? got it? all right. how are you. thank you, appreciate you guys, thank you so much. thank you, thank you. thank you. right here? >> don't forget we are coming for a photo. >> thank you so much. are you taking it? you want to say hi, good. >> this afternoon, president biden will talk about the effects of his economic agenda on black small business ownership. he will speak at the wisconsin black chamber of commerce in milwaukee. watch live coverage of 1:45 p.m. eastern here on c-span. you can also stream the president's remarks live at c-span.org or on the free c-span now video app. >> this boat was built on those measurements. the boat is 55 feet long, our boats are a little over eight feet wide. it weighs about seven tons empty. in lewis and clark's day, when they had th

physical things. for it to the place that physical things we need to have a lot more physical things involved. inin order to make the ai and te in thelaser projecting holograph whatever machine it is that will create the virtual avatar in the room you've got to said kids to get the rare earth metals to make the things. to get cobalts out. i'm pollution in. silicon wafer unit energy, solar panels is actually describing is less a physical matter but more physical matter used to deny the human beings of actual physical presence. ramos in the netherlands that is thbeautiful. someone is stuck in a hospital bed and is a paraplegic it is beautiful. people who could be together the complexity of human relationship the complexity of say the complexity of a mother nursing a baby. they could be at workan and in term missing something. it's a virtual baby is missing something i am missing something if you are not at my house watching the game but your appetite on the couch watching the game. it's not the same we

a lot of other things are happening in congress, the things that are deeply frustrating at the end of the year, not accomplishing the things we want to get done. >> what is one of those things that is frustrating you most significantly? rep. kim: the easiest one is to say we are at the end of the year with -- without knowing how we will keep the lights on, we are kicking that can down the road and that has been deeply frustrating. people of our country deserve to have a government that is going to work and is able to function not constantly move from just precipice to precipice and cliff to cliff, just on the politics and brinksmanship that we have constantly been seeing. people here deserve to know the government is in step. >> is a democrat who has been in this for little while, what would you point to as the reason you are not able to make progress in this area? rep. kim: right now we have a majority in the house of representatives with a speaker that is not interested in getting things done. they've been more interested in playing partisan politics and that kind of way. that's som

and i things how things shifted. the time i went to school could some of school, we could feel some of that. know, a different that. you know, it's a different world place world was a different place anyway there a anyway. it says there was a penod anyway. it says there was a period in the 1970s when suddenly there was this idea period in the 1970s when sudcifily there was this idea period in the 1970s when sudcif a' there was this idea period in the 1970s when sudcif a childe was this idea period in the 1970s when sudcif a child wantedis idea period in the 1970s when sudcif a child wanted to dea period in the 1970s when sudcif a child wanted to learn, that if a child wanted to learn, it would approach the table and they mustn't be forced to do it. well, of course, it didn't matter for the privileged children. always got children. they always got through home and through that. they went home and read mummy read their books with mummy and daddy, was fine. but it daddy, and that was fine. but it was children was was ex

the whole thing was fabulous!nds out that finian has this land and tries to run him out of town because there's blacks and whites living together, and, you know, they're sharecroppers. and they claim that finian's daughter is a witch and they're going to burn her at the stake and all sorts of incredible things that say something about the american scene. but the score was so great that people who see it do not see it as a socialist tract, which the only one on broadway. they see it as a very, very entertaining musical and unique in american musicals because, in the first place, there are very, very few musicals which are original. most musicals are adapted from books, and this was just conceived by fred saidy and yip as a satiric sendoff on american society. so you've got this great song in here, "when the idle poor become the idle rich," how are you going to know who is who or who is which? >> ♪ when the idle poor become the idle rich ♪ ♪ >> and so "finian's rainbow" has become a classic. now, it's interesting th

what are the other things. i thought that was just endlessly was the way in which the government or governmental offices could like volunteers returned and returned and were frustrated and were about to burst into or did and then finally that the office worker whomever, they were just like hit print and printed the document that y'all had been requesting for so long. yeah. can you talk more about why it is so difficult. i noticed that you sort of identified 911 and the fact that hijackers had used legal ids to, you know, do what they did to get on planes. and so and so forth. and after that things became a lot more difficult. but i wanted you to of tease that out a little bit more and identify what's the purpose? who benefits from ids being so difficult to acquire? did you ever read that atlantic article, the cruelty is the point. i have of it. i've not yet read it. it's well, it may be less harrowing now that we're in between trump eras. maybe, but i. oh, god. oh, god, i'm sorry. nonpolitical. yes, i am. but i

that's big thing. another way of looking at it is over that period, what's the country that people from around the world have wanted to get into? what other do people have to. well, what other countries do people have to put fences around to keep them from getting in? i mean, one of the big points of pride about the united states in the cold was that countries on the side of the cold war put up fences, keep their people from getting out. so people have voted with their feet for. two and a half millennia nearly. and they have come to the united states. they still want to come to the united states. why did they want to do this? because they think they have a better shot in the united states, elsewhere. it's this is especially true of young people, whether they are critiquing their parents or themselves as or anything else, to have to measure something i gets in standard of perfection. but not the way it works in the world the way it works in the world is. how is this against the alternatives? what are yo

the thing. rnment. >> whether that's the incordare you? the thing. wellnt. how dare you? the thing. that >> no, i agree with that last bit. switched at bit. you suddenly switched at the i thought the end. i thought you were going attack people, but going to attack my people, but you attack technique isn't it? i think we've got go. think we've got to go. unfortunately. you have unfortunately. do you have anything that? no. anything brilliant on that? no. >> two years is not >> i mean, two years is not a long time, but it is in climate alarm. >> alarm. autism alarm. autism. there you go. i don't know what that is. >> i've been trying to figure out pun in ice rink monday, out the pun in ice rink monday, but think radio. >> welcome back to the headlines. i'm nick dixon, still here with paul cox and lewis schaefer. cox and schaefer sounds like the dodgiest legal firm ever. i've just realised. yeah, wouldn't them . yeah, i wouldn't go to them. >> it sounds like a painful procedure. >> yeah, good point . should we >> yeah, good point. should we do the telegraph and this keir starmer keir s

mutual thing. korea. mutual sort of thing.rently the uk foreign office, be clear, office, let's be very clear, still advises against all but essential travel to korea. essential travel to north korea. what essential travel could you even north korea ? very, even have to north korea? very, very have a sense . very few people have a sense. the other thing is, did you see they let off a ballistic missile they let off a ballistic missile the day, you see the other day, or didn't you see that? what look for in a >> that's what i look for in a houday >> that's what i look for in a holyeah, because not >> yeah, because trump's not here weakened here anymore. we have a weakened us and a west. north korea us and a weak west. north korea is missiles. is just now launching missiles. >> but they were they were doing it so they were to be it holidays. so they were to be fair also launching fair they were also launching missiles in power. >> no. well i can't be >> no, no. well i can't be bothered getting into it. whatever they you can win w

what are the other things. i thought that was just endlessly was the way in which the government or governmental offices could like volunteers returned and returned and were frustrated and were about to burst into or did and then finally that the office worker whomever, they were just like hit print and printed the document that y'all had been requesting for so long. yeah. can you talk more about why it is so difficult. i noticed that you sort of identified 911 and the fact that hijackers had used legal ids to, you know, do what they did to get on planes. and so and so forth. and after that things became a lot more difficult. but i wanted you to of tease that out a little bit more and identify what's the purpose? who benefits from ids being so difficult to acquire? did you ever read that atlantic article, the cruelty is the point. i have of it. i've not yet read it. it's well, it may be less harrowing now that we're in between trump eras. maybe, but i. oh, god. oh, god, i'm sorry. nonpolitical. yes, i am. but i

at the beginning of the issue, briefly about the main thing. south of russia, with about seventy fallen trees in sochi alone. people were asked not to go out. foxes, holes, etc.

do things we don't do, not things already do .ngs we already do. so, for example, we can run. but when we make a bicycle, we make something that is totally different, that goes a bit faster. actually but it can't. i mean , a perfect example is mean, a perfect example is a cheetah that's the fastest land animal. it goes around 70 miles animal. it goes around 70 miles an hour or something. isn't it? um, we can't begin and we um, well, we can't begin and we wouldn't even think of trying to imitate, make a machine like a cheetah. it would be ridiculous . cheetah. it would be ridiculous. so instead, we invent a wheel, and eventually an engine and then eventually an engine that the wheels . and that can push the wheels. and it's nothing a cheetah, but it's nothing like a cheetah, but it's nothing like a cheetah, but it can go faster a cheetah. it can go faster than a cheetah. so our version. so it's our version. and similarly with intelligence, we won't try and imitate human intelligence. we will find, as we are beginning to do, we will

actually, i will mention one thing. part of a small business innovative program, sbir to get a look at all the funding we provide bastion terms of contracts, one-third of all the contracts awarded to small business was in a ai and autonomy. this is exactly where nontraditional players, right, can come in to provide their insight and innovation. so that provides the funding for the innovation to start a peer. by the way, i want to emphasize, the seed contracts even though there's a whole lot of money, spun off a lot of major companies subsequent like qualcomm vc funding once upon a time period that's pretty big now. just one example. so it's providing the seed. the other thing that's important is every commercial company and defense company that am talking to is investing in ai. so they're leveraging technology and that's not covered within 1.8 million. that's there. that's the private investment that's in there. so the ai technology that they're investing, there are actually it out. rapid prototyping capability. grover

oh, it's a korean thing. oh, it's an iranian thing. oh, it's a german thing. oh, it's everybody's grandmother. feed them too much really mean and. there's always these cultural things that are overlapping. we just put them different buckets. why? because we use them to identify ourselves. and there's nothing wrong with affinity groups and identifying ourselves except when we then think they're so different we can't connect. so i think really about what can you connect? how can you bring people together? there's my i don't know if there's language barriers, but it might about finding language that might be helpful. and then i think it also might if somebody really doesn't understand, regardless of their cultural background. first about not necessarily it to their cultural background because a lot people make that mistake. and then second, i think treating anybody as i would when somebody does understand is their journey and i'm going to have my journey and i might have to have it over here. right. and i have to be able to protect through that process, i think t

oh, it's a korean thing. oh, it's an iranian thing. oh, it's a german thing. oh, it's everybody's grandmother. feed them too much really mean and. there's always these cultural things that are overlapping. we just put them different buckets. why? because we use them to identify ourselves. and there's nothing wrong with affinity groups and identifying ourselves except when we then think they're so different we can't connect. so i think really about what can you connect? how can you bring people together? there's my i don't know if there's language barriers, but it might about finding language that might be helpful. and then i think it also might if somebody really doesn't understand, regardless of their cultural background. first about not necessarily it to their cultural background because a lot people make that mistake. and then second, i think treating anybody as i would when somebody does understand is their journey and i'm going to have my journey and i might have to have it over here. right. and i have to be able to protect through that process, i think t

that's one of the things. the second thing is it's so clear that the colonies can't take care of themselves. look at how they were fighting so casual. when the fighting got rough, they run away. it's the british regulate. we have to have a standing army in north america. if we're going to hold on to these gains. we have to have a standing in north america. don't fight native americans. that's one standing army, the third one is we are deeply in debt and the entire empire needs to pay for the gains that we've got. that doesn't just mean taxing people in north america. that doesn't mean just taxing people in britain or in bermuda. it means everybody. but we can't single anyone out for special treatment. this we must not do. we're all british. and so we have be equitable in how we're fashioning taxes and how we're getting people to help pay their share of what was for the entire empire share the british north american colonies got a whole lot of the gain from this they had enemies on all and now they don't what a

and we then allow those thoughts to move towards things that take us away from the things that matter. and so shift just widening your perspective and, a quick way to do it. if my friend was in this situation, what i say to them right, and i use this all time whenever i'm anxious and terrified my brain still says things. the one that you're not smart enough know you can't handle this people going to laugh have you. why would you say that? and i often go, no, that is not, you know, the narrative that i had when i was 15 and inches in brazil. that's not where i am anymore. and just being able to say that brings that anxiety down. yes, i have. i have. i found suggestion to be they can possibly hokey and annoying and forced and and all the things that i don't like but i have found that doing that talking to myself the way i would to my son or to my wife or to a good friend is incredibly effective and one that i have a million things to say about this, but one of the things that i believe you explain to me is that the man i'm probably going mangle my brain anatomy here. but the fear part o

the other thing empowering students, a lot of us we've been talking about, this.pressure and students responding to other students last year we had 20 of these forms where students trained to lead hard discussions in cultural divide and as a result, it was interesting 90% of all students said they found common ground across political differences, 95% said they could express their views and 92% of conservative students felt their views were listened to so we do have good models out there and giving that sense of agency to leave these discussions is an important thing we should be doing. >> in terms of those students and faculty, what you're touching on crucial and also seems harder. the surgeon general's report, americans 18 to 24 said they spent 70% less time interacting with, 40 minutes of day interaction. one of the consequences talking to people and hearing their views and we spent more time on social media and one dimensional and where it is easy to say ridiculous things in positive feedback someone that is the water your students are swimming in and you've go

i think the same thing about regulation on the things you are talking about. i think we have had failed attorneys general in the last few attorneys general we have had, jeff sessions, the current guy, going back to eric holder and loretta lynch. these people thought they were the president's lawyer. they are not. they are your lawyer. we need to have a president who says, you go and do the job and enforcing the rules, and as long as you do it fairly and evenly and consistent with the law, i'm not going to bother you. go do your job. i would do that regarding any of the issues you just talked about. on the health into -- health issue in particular, during covid a lot of those rules were not being enforced when we were in a real crisis. it can't happen again, because if it does the american people have no faith in our medical system, and that is dangerous. on your first part, i really agree with you, and that is why i'm running. when you say i want to believe in my country again, that this country can be the country that i have always loved and can be that way a

they're reasonable things. the reason i should be able to provide the reasonable things so it's like well when look at it you know when we when we zoom out we demystify what's going on we look at the reasons why people would be willing to well, we just we as people and we grow as church institutions, we learn what we're hearing and, you know, by god's grace and through sanctification, we do better. so i have tremendous hope. i have one more question. this practically orient, but i want to see because you're up here, we're talking about all of this. if there's anything you left out, anything that you want to mention because you've given us a lot. but anything that swirling around of like, oh, i got to try and say this. so just and was a curveball but i want to throw it open you for a moment. is there any theme, any topic question that you want to address before our final question? we've covered a lot of ground. anything that we haven't addressed. okay. i think we've covered a lot of it. i just want to drill more

i guess a couple things. one is we've been talking to a lot of judges, republicans and democrats, liberals and conservatives, and we've been struck by how just across the board ideologically judges have told us they wouldn't even let a lawyer buy them lunch for $30, let alone take $100,000 of private tuition or free vacations. we haven't seen anything close to like this when it comes to the other justices. justice thomas didn't comment for this latest story. i spoke to a yale law professor who spent time with justice thomas and his principle benefactor harlan crow's vacation with them and that professor's view of the relationship was look, he didn't think harlan crow was trying to influence justice thomas' views. he thinks harlan crow is trying to keep him comfortable. etch thinks his salary isn't high enough and therefore, he provides these benefits to him to elevate his lifestyle. as you pointed out, justice thomas' recent public comments about his salary are very, very different than what he was saying pri

it is not a good thing. establish the lines of commerce are free and that is a rule the international community has to maintain. neil: the houthi rebels, we know where a lot of their missiles and drones are coming from, yemen, i don't want to be simplistic about it, you are the war hero, not me, why not just take those positions if you know where they are coming from. it's one thing to avoid iran even though these rebels or proxies of iran, don't want to cause that, i get that, but go after them in yemen. >> couldn't agree with you more, you need to go after, the only estimation i can think of is this administration right now talked about it, this fear of a broader regional conflict somehow exploding. i'm not worried about that to be honest with you. you need to set the precedent. unless we hit these sites and secure that region of the red sea, this is political theater. that is the only reason, the fear of a broader regional conflict. neil: have a safe christmas, thank you for your service. >> you as well.

i believe the same thing or the same of money. and so i do think that sort of to your point of the diversifying nature of our country, creating these really helpful fracture points or, diversification opportunities in how we think about what our society has been around, how we do things, what what sort of the status quo having an introduction of of new faces and new centers of power. i think that's a really important thing to to discuss. and i just want to commend you for for focusing heavily on it in the book because it's impossible talk about the future without sort of underline in the impact that race is going to have on on, on our country. i mean, and there's another aspect here, too, that that your your your remarks made me think of, which i think is worth highlighting. so we talked a little bit about how the election of barack obama 2008 really, you know it for a certain group of americans really exists a sense of concern they had about what happening in the country. but yet something else happened that time which you obviou
