And this is something that's very weird and kind of ironic, but this is something that Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about in that last speech of his, his farewell speech. He warned about the rise of military industrial complex. Everyone's heard about that. But he also warned about the rise of a technological elite that could someday control public policy without anyone knowing.

and the technological elite are now in control. That's what we have. That's where I get back to my ranting and my pain because I realize no one is paying attention. Eisenhower said we have to be alert or this will happen. We have not been alert, and the fact is people right this second

who I give speeches to sometimes, they get all riled up, and then they walk out of the auditorium with their surveillance phones. Mine is not. This is a secure phone. But they walk out with their surveillance phones in their pocket and they use all the surveillance tools that Google has set up for them and other companies too now. And they think, isn't this nice?

This company is doing all this nice stuff for me and giving me all this free stuff. That's not the business model. All those free things are just apps that trick you into giving up personal data. And then they monetize the data and they use it to control you. That's what's really happening. That's the business model. And people can't see it.

And I'm telling you, I've been working on this for 12 years and it's gotten to the point where I am wiped out. I am fed up. I am exhausted. I am disillusioned. And... And I'm lonely, because since Misty was killed five years ago, I sometimes feel like I'm literally dying of loneliness. And the fact that other people around me have been hurt, one quite seriously, makes me a little nervous, too.

And that's where I am at this point. And it's a terrible place to be. Terrible. It took $7 million to build what we've built, but it's been really tough. Okay, we're talking about like raising a dollar at a time. It's been really, really difficult.

And for us to set this up so that it's actually permanent and self-sustaining, and so we have core admissible data in all 50 states, which will make these companies think. It'll make them think. Think twice, maybe. That is going to require at least another $50 million. That gets us a secure facility and our own servers and a security team. We have virtually no security. Hear that, Google?

And they know this because a couple months ago they attacked us in an extremely sophisticated way. I've never seen this before.
