It's wild to listen to his full speech through that context and know that that's what he was talking about.

There's a third one that I looked through a different lens now, which is not long before he was killed, Kennedy gave a speech about how secrecy is repundant.

Yeah, secret societies, yes.

And he said, are repundant in a free society, and they challenge our democratic way of life, and we shouldn't allow it.

You know?

Yeah, yeah.

Look, I hope that people involved in this act like the CIA or act as defense contractors realize, like you said, they have a moment here to be the heroes of the story.

Yes.

And to spin it and just say, hey, we were taken on a job that no one else knew existed.

We were doing the best we could.

We thought we made good decisions.

Like any war, there's casualties of war, right?

But our intention was to do the best for the United States.

And we want to come out and tell everyone what we've learned in a safe way where we can share some information, educate the public with the base facts, and then keep the rest classified for national security reasons.

These people would all just be –

Heroes.

Yeah.

I mean, look, a bunch of defense contractors went out of business over the years.

You'd also have to look back at some of the older defense contractors that were given materials in the 40s and 50s and then got acquired by a Lockheed or a Northrop.

Lockheed and Northrop have bought all of the smaller defense contractors that have been involved with this over the years.
