And, of course, a bunch of Washington Post journalists and editors walked out because they're so used to puppeting the government line, they left. And that Bezos did that is just is remarkable.

So he came out and said that. And he's got a 600 million dollar contract with the CIA for monitoring cloud activities. So Bezos does, which means he probably signed a CIA secrecy agreement, which is their their weapon. So that's that makes it even more ironic that he would come out and cut the legs off their chief mockingbird, essentially. So, yeah, that was something something to watch.

Yes, we have an entire chapter in our book on Bob Woodward, who I consider the chief mockingbird. When I came out with my story to blow the whistle on what the agency had done when my family was poisoned and the house was broken into and they painted chemicals on the ceiling, I contacted a reporter who was going to meetings with former agency people. And so I called him and he took the story.
