That's part of indications of warning as well, ultimately, in terms of how you provide that to support what is stated in the preamble of the Constitution, providing for the common defense of the United States. I not only just took that to heart, I lived it as well as others did, silent warriors, for years and years and years. That's how I was taught. It's what I experienced.

It's what I provided the American people in secret knowledge. in the national security space. So NSA kept pushing back, resisting because it meant change. They were so wedded to their legacy systems that they weren't willing to look at something differently. You know, the famous quote from Einstein, keep doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

It's a form of insanity. This is institutional insanity. As I was told at one point after I got to NSA, well, joined NSA as a senior executive, Tom, you just don't understand. That's not how we do things around here. But this is actually going to improve how we do things around here. That's not how we do things. They just were wedded to how they did things. So, Huge resistance.

In fact, they tried to shut the program down because it was embarrassing. But I'm bringing back, and then I'm meeting people inside NSA super frustrated because the new director, now it's 1999, Michael V. Hayden, who's central to my story, central to my history, central to what then happened with... as though he's done a very good job, okay, of faking and deluding.

He's very articulate, and he has a lot of respect still, you know, as a former, and he became CIA director after he was the principal deputy director of the new director of national intelligence. So it's 1999. He said, you know, this is the same thing as we encountered in World War II, Manhattan Project. We've got to treat this as a Manhattan Project. We have to partner. with industry.

We need to buy this solution. And it's going to cost a lot of money. You know why? Because it's a really big problem. Why is it a big problem? Because all kinds of data. It's a big data problem. They actually called it that, the big data problem. Here's the funny thing. In the 90s, particularly the latter part of the 90s,
