And I'm always a little couched because, or a little, I hold back a little bit because I think there's a psyop going on with some of these departments.

I was briefed by one of our alphabet agencies not long ago.

And the final thing was somebody said, well, why don't we got more information?

Says we just don't have the funding for that, Congressman.

And, you know, it's a and I know they're reading the polling data and they're saying, you know, well, let's shake loose the money tree for us.

And that's that's part of it, too.

And I warn people about that.

But anyway.

I guess in a nutshell, that's pretty much it.

So when you first got in, how long have you been in government for?

Well, eight years in Congress.

I was in our state legislature in Tennessee 16 years, and then I was county mayor for eight years.

Yeah.

So was that eight years ago or when was that?

Probably six years ago, five or six.

Let's see.

It was during Trump's first administration.

So it would have been about eight years ago.

Yeah.

We just raised total hell about it.
