Not to my knowledge, and I sure hope not, because I don't think the government – this is a conversation. This is where I go back to. This is a conversation that involves a lot of people, whether it's your priest or your rabbi or your imam or it is your philosophy teacher at the university. I think we're getting into an area now that is beyond national security.

And honestly, Joe, I'm not comfortable – Right. Right.

Well, in fact, it's illegal, especially in our democracy. This type of stuff is supposed to be discussed with certain members of Congress and certain elements of the executive branch. And when somebody, I don't care if you're in the government or in a religion or anything like that, this goes to the fundamental pillar of something that agrees me, which is corruption.

Now, when I say corruption, let me backtrack a little bit. My father recently died this last Father's Day. Not this one, but the one before. And I had the privilege of knowing he was sick. And so we took a road trip down to Miami about a month and a half before he died. And he never told me he was sick. But I knew something wasn't right. I knew my father for a long time.

And something wasn't right. He started losing weight. And I could see he wasn't eating as much. And there were telltale signs. And he didn't want to tell me. And I asked my father almost flippantly, I said, Dad, I think we were probably somewhere by St. Louis, and I said, Dad, what is the greatest threat to humanity, to humans? What is the greatest threat?

Now, I say it flippantly because I'm thinking, you know, terrorism, right, and this and that. My father thought for a second. He looks at me and says, Son, it's corruption. And I said, What do you mean corruption? Like financial corruption? Governmental corruption? He says, No. Corruption at its heart is when you are willing to bypass your own moral code, your own ethics for something else.

And whether it's financial corruption, religious corruption, governmental corruption, or even moral corruption, when you start to compromise on your own values, it's a very quick downward spiral to utter chaos. And he know that firsthand because my father was in the Bay of Pigs invasion. He was a political prisoner of Castro. He actually fought with Castro against Batista,

And then when Castro went communist, my father joined the folks here and the friendly folks at the CIA and was part of the invasion of the Bay of Pigs. He spent two years in Castro's prisons being tortured. So when he came to this country, this country offered us opportunities that no other country could or would. And the reason why Cuba failed was because of corruption.
