And I was like, does anyone want to say?

Everyone think this is cool?

And literally, everyone was like, yeah, this is great.

And it was like, it shocked me because I'm like, I've been so used to like, okay, there's always one person who's like, oof, I'm like kind of uncomfortable, you know, or like, I don't know that I, how am I going to tell my friends, you know, at a cocktail party that we're investing in missiles?

But there was something about this team.

One, they're pros.

They clearly care about the mission.

They talked about it from a deterrence perspective.

This is the only way we're gonna deter wars.

You have to build up your defense industrial base.

You have to build up your missile capabilities to stop wars, not start them.

And I think it was such a compelling pitch and just an honest pitch about like, this is the state of play.

Like, we are not prepared.

And if we don't do it, no one's going to do it.

I mean, the thing that was amazing for me was like, gosh, like how far we've come.

Like in just five years to go from, you know, headline risk, like we can't touch that to, okay, we're all in on this.

And they've just been, they've been moving very fast.

You know, like, I know you've talked about like signs and callings.

And I think you believe deeply in that.

I do, too, where I'm like.
