Right, yeah, yeah.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And like and and that literally was not in a six thousand word piece I wrote about all the things like it didn't make it in because it was insignificant compared to the other stuff I was talking about.
So that's just like a great window and to how the Overton window has moved and how much our expectations of these politicians have changed.
Yeah.
I mean, it's remarkable.
Again, I believe it was a $24 million contract from the Pentagon.
And then as I was writing about that exchange and how disorienting it was to see that moment on national television, another story came out from Bloomberg.
about the US Air Force landing a contract with a drone company that the Trump sons are also backing and involved in and invested in.
And the US Air Force is now buying an undisclosed number of these interceptor drones from this company.
It's like...
that's the waterfall of stuff that's so hard to keep up with that it's hard to know which one to make a story.
And it's like any one of them in a different era that we lived in two years ago would have been a months-long scandal that everybody was talking about nonstop.
I mean, we got stories about
hunter biden selling his artwork because the art sucked and he was obviously taking money from people who wanted access to the family the trump kids are doing pentagon contracts selling drones with companies they're invested in like it is crazy to imagine involving the kazakhstan mining company tungsten mining yeah they're doing tungsten mining
Yeah.
I mean, it's they're turning over every stone to find ways to sort of interweave these contracts, these government contracts with their business interests or these government relationships with their business interests.
And, you know, it's worth saying here that.
