You try to contribute that that is what is important and I teach.

Undrawn air -- and I think we agree that we -- most of the stuff what I try to teach them is how to be analytical.

And how to be serious in their intellectual rigor when they take a position.

We read everything from from a those it to John -- for from you know medical -- to Albert Richmond.

So early for -- -- Korea to Tom Friedman a lot of great writers and I teach I right.

And involved in -- family business I would rather be a teacher than a politician.

I would've preferred to be a politician who's also a teacher but that's such as like Eliot Spitzer wonderful -- thank you very much for coming in appreciate it.
