And that really would make it so these very rare talents that we cannot get in the United States or we need more expertise on, like drone technology, we can bring them in here. But if you're talking about completely shutting it down, I think I understand your argument. I think you do not understand how much it would cripple the tech sector in the United States and biotech.

See if I can change your mind here. I may not be able to. Okay, so Boston Dynamics. We've all seen the videos online of the Terminator robots, right? Little dogs walking around Boston Dynamics. It's great. It's right around the corner from me. I was touring it the other day. So here's a really honest question, right? Drones are such a critical part of warfare today.

They have been hugely instrumental in the Russian-Ukraine war. But all of these drones are generally manufactured in China. So why does this Boston Dynamics robot, the dog robot, I think it's like $30,000, something like that. Why does it cost this much when a lot of the developmental cost for this is, you know, it's the software for it, right?

It's not like the servos and stuff are that expensive. It's because we literally don't have the factories here to build that kind of robotic technology here. And a lot of these applications, because of national security concerns, it does need to be made locally here. So here's a really concrete example of an industry that we need to be investing huge in for our national security.

There are reasons to build these jobs at home. If I were in Congress, I would be going to Boston Dynamics and saying, you want some free tax money to go invest in some factories and start building servos and all this drone technology here? Great, let's do a second CHIPS Act. Let's do this. It's a national security issue.

But for us to do that, we've got to bring in people from China with that kind of manufacturing expertise. These companies have tried to build these things locally and

and it's just we literally don't have the the kinds of experts in the united states that can go oh this screw needs to be tweaked a little bit for us to keep the the factory going on this design we'll change it and have a new one out this afternoon we don't have that expertise so if you're talking about like investing in america and creating a system where we can have that in five years i'm a hundred percent with you i just think if we're closing the door to that kind of expertise
