What were you to say? I wanted to ask if you talked about capping, about selling oil futures as a way of capping prices, trying to keep prices down at the pump. The prices are going to come tumbling down as soon as it's over, and it's going to be over pretty quickly. Do you have any concerns about the political impacts of this? I have to do what's right. You know, political. And sure, everybody is concerned. I have to do what's right. (15:16–15:21)
