In the beginning, I'm sure you spent some time with Palmer.
He talked about how they were building sentry towers and really focused on border control.
They were selling to DHS.
DoD just thought they were a cute little company that was never going to get in the way of any of these primes.
Now, they're winning major contracts.
And so I think it's irresponsible if the primes are saying, well, those guys are never going to win.
Or we'll beat them at the law fair, right?
Like, it's like, oh, well, we'll take them to court and make sure that they can't get access to these big contracts because these are ours.
I just think that the world has fundamentally shifted.
There's too many people who recognize that you need the best and brightest engineers in America and the people of Silicon Valley.
You need the talent and the AI labs across the country.
You need them working on defense.
And those guys aren't at Lockheed Martin.
I think it's 2% of their budget is spent on R&D.
So I grew up in Northern Florida in Gainesville, university town, football town.
You had our guy Tebow on recently.
And he's sort of the- Amazing human.
He's still the pride of the city, right?
It's like, those are the glory days.
You know, it's like, he's still our guy.
