I mean, you had that whole role, and now you're moving into the NSA role. And it turns out that, I was joking with you a moment ago, that this is like that meme of the dog looking around, everything's on fire. The world's on fire pretty much everywhere. So what does your day look like?
So I thought I was already kind of in fourth gear on the Armed Services Committee and a subcommittee chairman there of readiness on Intel, the Intelligence Committee in the House, the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Oversight Committee.
