So there is a nexus of tech companies... Virus research, pharmaceutical companies- Biotech, we call it. Biotech, but even straight tech, right? Metabiota is also owned by Google, okay? And if you are going to have, say, an effective bioweapons attack, you're going to need to control information.

And what I think a lot of people don't understand is the biggest client of all of these tech companies is the United States. Always, yeah. So before you see the announcement about the microchip or the new development, the U.S. government has likely already purchased $5, $10 billion worth of the technology and had it a year before. And you don't know about that. And...

There's privileges that come with that, obviously, because you can leverage, the government can leverage tech companies, as we saw with COVID, and can access data, you know, and this is carryover from 9-11, you know, the Patriot Act alive and well, you know, tech companies at that point, I think were primitive compared to what they are now.

I mean, I don't even think in 2001, we understood how online we would be living our life, but COVID magnified that by 10%. I didn't even know what Zoom was before COVID.
