And that's very troubling for finances and for transparency and for democracy, because we just have no idea if it's a boondoggle or if it's actually legitimate.

I have an important thought for this on balance, if I may. and it goes to Denver's question about how I sleep at night. And I, and I'm very, you know, I just really believe that knowledge is, is King or knowledge is queen, because if you know something, then you're at least personally empowered. You're not frustrated by, you know, a giant wall between yourself and a comprehension. And, and,

So I was asked to go to the Vatican in the fall to give, you know, in today's, you know, Pope Francis died last night. I'm not a Catholic, but, you know, what a loss. And I went to the Vatican and I spoke. I was asked to speak specifically on nuclear war scenario to the cardinals. And. this idea of disarmament was the, was the premise of this, the Vatican, of course, being in pursuit of peace.

And so on the golden dome on balance and how do I sleep idea is that as I move through this world and I'm learning new information, I'm always looking for the, the, and the Cardinals taught me to say that I used to say the optimistic and they said, Oh my dear, you're actually talking about hope, right? So the hopeful, right? solution.

So I wonder to my own self, if you can, if clearly the president, the current president, current POTUS is pursuing the golden dome. That is a given the bids are in the money is, is, is moving. Can the current president pursue denuclearization, which is his word that he's obsessed with. I've I believe is what one like myself must focus on. Is that possible? Can you disarm?

To your point, Amy, about the signaling. Signaling is so powerful. You know this. Most people, we laymen don't know it until we're actually, oh, it's just messaging. It's just kind of what you're signaling that you're doing. And that's what you're speaking of. And so can you have the Golden Dome, which is strong defense? Yes. if it's not nuclear in space, if it's just technology in space?

And can you pursue denuclearization, formerly called disarmament, at the same time? And I took that question to colleagues when I was asked to speak at the UN on this book a month ago. I asked them, can these two concepts exist at the same time? There is a treaty at the UN called the TPNW, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

And that is the movement toward disarmament to bring back the spirit of disarmament that was begun by Reagan and Gorbachev in the 1980s. And I believe that those two pathways can be pursued at once. And I would hope my signal to the president, who I know read my book because he said it on a podcast.
