you talk about cuba and venezuela, they're involved in those countries for different reasons. in the case of cuba, they have active intelligence operations targeting the u.s. coming from there. in the case of venezuela, they're not as pronounced as the russians, and they want to get -- and they are owed a lot of money, so they want to get aid, but they have been involved in exporting fiber monitor capabilities that allow them to do something like internet censorship. >> i want to move from the geopolitical challenge to economic challenges we have at home because of covid-19 and what's happened there. maybe reflect back a little bit on the work that congress has been able to do in conjunction with the administration to really help bring america back from the really deep depths of a tough economic time. we're still in the middle of one now, obviously. but what were some lessons learned from how congress was act?to come together and people complain about it being such a polarized time, and politics seems to be so tough. yet, you and your colleagues were able to come together and
