And it's circumstances that we're all dealing with.

And that the president was contemplating

stepping on the microphone and telling the world the base facts.

And he wanted this group of people to assess what the repercussions would be, what the impact would be on society and rank it from a one to 10 scale, each vertical, like the impact on religion, the impact on the economy, the impact on just a list of things, right?

And they all went in, he said, they all went into it thinking this was gonna be a good thing.

And then when they started to like honestly evaluate it and like run the numbers, they decided that it was not a good idea.

and that there was more cons than pros.

Relative to the story is the fact that it was like just after 9-11.

So the context also was like the world was already dealing with a big curve ball and chaos and the global war on terror had started and the timing of it also was a factor.

I found a clip of Bush asked about it, Bush 2 being asked about it on Jimmy Kimmel.

Yeah, right?

And timing-wise, it was soon after this panel.

And he says, Kimmel goes, have you looked into this?

And he thinks for a second.
