## Transcript

It's certainly a person I would consider, and she is under consideration. We have actually many names and Nikki has been great. Nikki's going to be working along with us and helping us with a choice. Plus, she's going to help us with 2020, and Nikki's a great friend of mine. We've become real friends over the last period, she's done a fantastic job. And so she'll be involved, and Dina certainly, and there are other. I've heard a lot of names. I've heard Ivanka. I've heard how good will Ivanka be. The people that know there's nothing to do with nepotism, but I want to tell you the people that know know that Ivanka would be dynamite.

But I'd then be accused of nepotism. Even though I'm not sure there's anybody more competent in the world, but that's okay. But we are looking at numerous people.
