Being a Daddy is priority number one.

You will wish you had spent more time with your family.

If there's a recession, I'd buy stocks. That's when you make money: when markets are spooked.

If Iran and North Korea, by some horrible, devilish, nightmarish scenario, got together and went to war at the same time, one against Saudi Arabia and one against South Korea, I don't know what we would do about that. I don't know that we could stop them short of using nuclear weapons.
