Leonidas is the first version of the product that's being forward deployed with CENTCOM, and it's just going out actually in the next month, which is great. The tests have shown you could do about 100 drones at a time in certain contexts. 100 drones at a time? If they're together and flying together, and then the thing moves, so you fire, fire, fire. You know why it's called Epirus?

Epirus was the bow of Theseus. Theseus was a guy who started Athens in legend, right? And in legend, his bow had infinite arrows. And so that's the point here, is you're firing electronic power, so you effectively have infinite arrows. See, this thing can fire thousands of times. And each shot costs almost nothing.

And if they want to, they could shoot it down right now with any number of different types of missiles, I'm sure. But this, exactly. I mean, I think there's probably rules from the FAA about, there's always regulators about what you could do on shore and where you could do it and how you could do it. But eventually, you'll probably have things like Leonidas protecting stadiums, protecting airports.

That was another reason we started it, by the way. When we were building Palantir, One of the big focuses was stopping terror attacks and working and partnering to stop terror attacks with the United States intelligence community, which I think we're very helpful in doing. And so I have it on my mind, maybe it's kind of a sick thing, but what's a bad guy going to do?

You kind of have to put yourself in the bad guy's shoes. and figure it out. And one of the things a bad guy could do, which would be horrible, maybe I shouldn't talk about it too much, is you can attack a stadium. You can get lots of little drones. You can put little explosives and cameras on them. It'd be really scary. So I think our stadiums are going to need to be defended by things like this.

Yeah, it pisses me off. That's crazy. There's some really amazing judges I know who are, one of them actually was just involved in this, well, it doesn't matter, really great decision against the SEC last week. But they would go down to the border and they assign them to help because they're overloaded with the cases.

And some of the Biden administration judges were letting in people on the watch lists. And they're like, what are you doing? You can't let them in. He said, no, we're instructed to let in everyone. I'm still saying that, I don't even believe it, but this is what I'm told by multiple people. I think Chip Roy, the congressman, wrote about it as well. Isn't that crazy?

They're letting in these people into our country. What are they doing? What do you think they're doing? I think it's this weird ideology where they just, A, they're probably trying to spend a lot of money while bringing down inflation by bringing in more people, and B, it's just some weird open border ideology. I don't understand it. But the fact that you'd let people in, even on watch lists,
