That's really cool to see. Thank you. I've been a huge fan of yours and the pod and seeing all the things that you're doing after the SEAL team is just as exciting. And, you know, it's an honor to just be here, be able to tell the story, be able to tell my story and then all the things we're doing at Seronic. So thank you.

They're not messing around. They are investing heavily. The government's pouring billions and billions of dollars. If we think China's not on a wartime footing right now, we're sticking our heads in the sand.

It's crazy. In World War II, I'll give you another stat. We commissioned over 100 aircraft carriers, aircraft carriers, between 1942 and 1945. Today, an aircraft carrier costs 10 billion as a baseline. The budget estimate actually went up to 13 billion. But more importantly, they take over 10 years to make, a decade to make one. Our entire involvement in World War II was four years long.

So not only are they wildly expensive, But you can't afford, take human life out of the equation for just a second, because I'm sure we'll talk about that a bunch. You can't afford to lose one because you cannot get another one.

That's right. Yeah. It's, Starting Charonic was an interesting challenge because not only did we have to build the best technology. Not only we set out to build the absolute best technology in both hardware and software, and we'll talk more about the products, but we also had to build a government lobbying company.

We had to understand how to navigate the ecosystem, how to actually drive adoption, how to get our products into the field. And that's not an easy task. One of the things I mentioned, and it was funny, We had one of our leaders from the growth team gave a teach-in to the entire company on, here's what government acquisitions actually looks like.

And there's this government acquisition management lifecycle map that exists within the Pentagon. And if we stretch that map out on this entire wall, the individual subcomponents still would not be legible. Are you serious? There's that many steps in the process. One of the slides was, okay, now we're going to talk about rapid defense acquisition. And the next slide said 48 to 72 months.
