You know, ladies and gentlemen, there is a cost to inaction. And I think the problem with some people who call themselves leaders, presidents or politicians, whoever they may be, one of the biggest problems is they don't play to win any game, they play not to lose. So they say to themselves, you know, we've got this country. Let's just-- I'm not even gonna... You'll figure it out in a second, but let's say country X. And this country is threatening our country with a device that could end our country as we know it economically, financially, uh, kill millions of people. They're trying to acquire this weapon that would do this to us, country X. They have clearly stated their ambitions to do said things, so they're not bullshitting. They've already said, like, we wanna do this and have taken actual steps to acquire said weapon to annihilate us. However, because this has been going on for decades in a stop-start manner, you see this kick the can down the road, to use the said cliché, however it's true. Kick the can down the road effect. Well, am I gonna take a political hit over this if I do something? I will. But I should do it because it's the right thing.
