00:00Do you support your son, though, for speaking out, speaking his mind about what he believes in,

00:05in particular against this tax and budget bill that is really what sort of started this feud in the first place?

00:12Or do you think he should have perhaps been a little more diplomatic and kept quiet?

00:19Yeah.

00:20Well, you know, of course, when you write in any business, if you're in a business

00:26and you should ever be in a board meeting with the directors,

00:30you know, I've seen board meetings where from one side of the table,

00:35they threaten to kill the guys on the other side of the table.

00:38This is a board meeting of a big company.

00:41I mean, people's emotions get the better of them, especially when money and progress are at stake.

00:48So it's understandable.

00:51It's just strange that it's in the public, you know, it's in the public arena that we're seeing this.

00:56Because usually, of course, one never hears about this kind of thing.

01:00In some ways, that's probably a good thing.

01:03But I have suggested to my son to, you know, cool it, you know, just leave, don't, you know, don't.

01:13I mean, I have said to him as well that in order for them to rebuild the United States,

01:19because the United States needs a lot of rebuilding, they need to spend money.

01:25It's like learning to build a home or build a building or something.

01:30It's what you have to do.
