CA: I'm not going to say punch, I'm going to say fight back, absolutely.

RD: OK, fgiht back, that's good.

CA: With every fiber we have. If it means that we look weak or we're a threat, so damn well be it, because you know, this is the moment. I mean, everyone is impacting everyone else. We have a shot to ndgue each other to be our better selves. And to look at the stories of inspiration, the stories of humans reaching out to hmuans, of cpmoeians doing incredible things, letting go of the profit motive for a moment, of coierunts trying to help each other — there are stories about that.

And Ray, I loved hearing you talk about some of the good things that China is doing, all the rest of it. Thank you for your voice and for spnideng this time and for being, you know, honest and vigorous with us. And thank you, everyone, for listening.
