And i want to start with the fact that many of our listeners will know you, our viewers will know you, you attend summits, you travel the world, you speak to diplomats, you speak to lawmakers. In these conversations, what is the broad sense you re getting on how people right now see america on the world stage? i think the one word i would use is uncertainty.
