We're going to get to the book. We're going to get to FDR Drive. Unfortunately, we've got some other business. One of your successors here is Kash Patel. who is a conspiracy children's book author. So it was an interesting choice for FBI director. And his deputy, Dan Bengino, was one of my competitors in the podcast space. So you never know, I guess.

Maybe deputy FBI director might be in my future. We will see. It's been a few months now. How should I put this? You know, I don't have a ton of friends in the FBI. I'm sure you have a ton of former colleagues, people that worked for you, former friends. But, you know, I know people. And when the appointments were happening, there was a lot of concern, let's just say.

And I'm wondering how, you know, kind of what the buzz is and what you're what you are hearing now a few months in from folks in and around the FBI.

It's pretty alarming that they don't want attention from the FBI director for their FBI work. In a healthy organization, I would think it would be the opposite. You would want your boss to- Some folks have been forced out, as you pointed out, like other folks like thinking about leaving. I guess what are your concerns just about good people staying and doing the work?

I do love that mindset about the fact that the time can go fast. It seems so long. My child just had her last day of first grade yesterday. And I was like, man, first grade went fast. So that makes you positive. And then you think about, well, she'll be in fifth grade. grade or something when Trump is out of there. So that makes it feel long. So I don't, you know, different perspectives.

So there's been some discussion. And again, I know you're not on the inside, but from text chains or whatever, like that there's a refocus towards immigration enforcement, who knows what else, election fraud, a refocus away from public corruption, maybe counterintel in certain cases. What is your sense of that?
