Well, Marjorie Taylor green, but she didn't have the guts.
Like, what do you suggest?
You will never work in politics ever again.
We will hound you for the rest of your career.
Then if you lose, then what do you have?
You have nothing to lose.
That's what you and I say.
You and I would say would stand up.
Even if it's just this, that means they're not going to have to steal the 2% of defense technology that we don't give them.
I'll give you an example.
When I was still there, we were developing the F-35.
So they came to us and they said, we want the F-35.
We want to be the first ones to have the F-35.
We said, great, we're going to give you the F-35.
We're going to call it the F-35I for Israel.
And it's going to have just a barely, slightly degraded avionics system, just in case, God forbid –
you know, it doesn't get shot down and then the Chinese and the Russians get it and then they can steal the avionics.
