If they say that I'm not allowed to pay myself $1 until I get caught up, I think they should be allowed to do that.

When you are working on the...

When you are working on taxpayer dime, there is no level of oversight or intervention that I am against conceptually.

Now, I think some of these might be bad moves.

They might not necessarily help the defense base.

But in concept, I think everything should be on the table.

And I think it's even good maybe to scare some people sometimes.

You don't necessarily go to people and say, this is the way it's going to be forever.

You say, this is how it's going to be until you get your act together.

You remember being a teenager and your parents say, you're grounded until X, Y, and Z. Bring up your grades, solve your problems, and then we will talk about altering the deal.

You say, but this deal has so many problems.

If it's like this my whole life, if I'm grounded for the rest of my life, that means I'll have no social life.

And your parents are not necessarily looking to ground you for life.

They're saying, right now, you're grounded.

And I think that that's what you're seeing right now.

It's not necessarily a lifetime commitment.

There are a handful of things where we are not, but in most cases we are.

So like you brought up Ohio, we're building this huge plant, Arsenal One in Columbus, Ohio, where we're building autonomous fighter jets and a bunch of other things, building about six million square feet there.

We're actually ahead of schedule on that.

We had a bunch of people from Ohio that we hired, the first round of factory workers.
