So do you buy that, Dan? Are there, like, am I right on these sort of two times events and the different problems?

I think there are two types of vets.

I think you've been thinking about this for a while and thinking about it the right way.

What's interesting about the first group is that vet doesn't just want to stay busy.

That vet derives a huge amount of benefit from being wanted, needed, chosen.

So it isn't just that they want to be working hard.

They want the client to come in and ask questions.

Like, how would you coach them? What advice would you give to the 30-year-old medical director who has just become a single vet practice owner?

So o-one, I'm curious if you agree with that general conception, but two, what would you tell the president or, or the people around him in terms of, you know, what to keep in mind and how to actually move the ball forward here, uh, this week?

Well, I, you know, I, I, I w- would say that don't expect very much, uh, when it comes to some of the promises China's gonna make on, um, on economic, you know, purchases.

You know, we-- we're, we're bringing CEOs, uh, I think from Boeing, from Nvidia, from some other tech companies, and, and, um, we're talking about this, uh, new board of trade that's gonna manage trade in non-sensitive areas.

But, but the Chi...

Yeah, so the Chinese may announce, uh, all kinds of potential purchases of agricultural goods, of Boeing jets and, and, and so on, and the president will, will, you know, be inclined to be satisfied and, and, and happy with that.

But, you know, the price of that, there's always a price.

I mean, I'd say two things to the president.

Um, uh, w-what is your takeaway from having paid careful attention to what's going on in Ukraine and the Middle East since, uh, about four years ago now? What is your takeaway on the state of play for the defense of, of Taiwan and the potential for war in the first island chain more broadly?
