You're not.
I mean, right now the thank God the Senate uh version of the National Defense Authorization Act has three critical bills in this regard.
Senator Cotton's Chip Security Act, Senator Banks' AI Overwatch Act, and uh uh Senator Ricketts' uh Match Act.

So the the Chip Security Act counters the smuggling that they're doing to get our ships over there so they can build their own capabilities.
Uh Overwatch uh
Ensures congressional oversight on decisions related to who gets to buy these powerful chips.

Coming from the data centers into the into into healthcare for those for those citizens.
And there's a win win situation to be had here, but the the negotiations and the and the and the methods of this industry have been so ham fisted that now there's this gigantic public uh backlash.
And of course there is l legitimate evidence that China and Russia uh propaganda are behind some of this sentiment.
But just like we know with the Soviet Union, you know, these guys can't make up an issue out of whole cloth, these foreign these foreign um
