And it's still not every day is a challenge, but it's been driven personally by the President. It's the reason why we're involved in this whole Ukraine, Russia conflict. That's not our war. It's not the President's war. This war [Ukraine, Russia conflict] started. It never would have happened if you'd been President. But this war is going on and the President is trying to end it. Not because, listen, we got a million things to focus on in the world as a country, but he's the only leader in the world that can help end it. (03:19–03:22)
