From Disaster Relief to Future Combat: Politics, Technology, and Defense Strategies
The devastating floods in Texas have claimed over 100 lives with dozens still missing, while political debates rage about FEMA funding and disaster response effectiveness.
• Water levels rose 29 feet in just 45 minutes, leaving little warning time
• Trump administration quickly responded with military aid when requested
• Controversy over FEMA funding cuts and allegations of fund misappropriation
• Military recruitment numbers improving with both Army and Air Force meeting goals
• Proposed new Air Force dress uniform draws criticism for resemblance to historical German uniforms
• Future warfare technology focusing on robotics, AI, and reducing human casualties
• Drone technology transforming modern warfare with relatively inexpensive systems
• Proposed national missile defense system could cost between $161-542 billion over 20 years
• Questions about electrical grid vulnerability to EMP attacks remain unaddressed
Henderson Harley, Joey's NY Pizza, The Leatherneck Club of Las Vegas & Straight from Philly Steak Out.
All right, Russ, you had something to say.
Speaker 2:About. Well anyway, just kidding. Well anyway, listen, I guess there's a big flood going on in Texas over there, A lot of things going on. I guess how many people now are dead presumably?
Speaker 1:Over 100 dead and dozens missing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there was 27 kids out of camp and I guess, uh, they found some of them. The last I knew there was about 10 still missing. But yeah, there's a lot more people still missing. Anyway, it's still going on. All I heard about it was uh the other day was that it was uh, 29 inches? No, yeah, 29 feet of water came within 45 minutes. They had 29 feet high of the water raising. They had that in 45 minutes. So I guess, it wasn't much of a warning or anything.
Speaker 2:So it looks like a real mess over there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, then I guess there was a senator that asked for military aid if needed or no, no it was. I think Trump said to the senator whatever you need, just ask. And then the senator requested for military aid, like Blackhawks and all that or whatever.
Speaker 2:Probably Guard.
Speaker 1:And I guess the administration quickly responded and sent down the necessary military aid probably guard, maybe federal troops, I don't know. But that's it. So it's not just, it's not just FEMA on the ground we're getting. They're getting military aid also for humanitarian.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Well, of course the Democrats. It's Trump's fault. I guess he was up there making it rain out. I don't know.
Speaker 1:They're mad because of the spending cuts to FEMA.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they still got FEMA. Fema's supposed to be just controlled by the states now or something. That's all. I don't think he's not going to worry about that. They're not going to let those people hang over there. They ain't like Biden.
Speaker 1:They're worried about the reason why the cuts were made to begin with is because, on one side, they felt that the money for FEMA was being mismanaged.
Speaker 3:So one of the people on Twitter or X. His name is Ron Filipkowski. He's this big asshole. He runs around with the bunch of just dirty liberals. They're just not good people. This is what he wrote. The people in Texas voted for is controlled by Donald Trump and Greg Abbott. This is exactly what they're getting. That's right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that.
Speaker 3:And then another guy wrote Just some guy. Bill G underscore 933 on X. It's not awful, it's what Texas deserves, it's insane. Well, that's.
Speaker 2:That's just sick bastards. Who deserves that, you know?
Speaker 1:And that's why I bastards who deserves that people are bitching about is they feel that it's because of climate change and environmental reasons and they're mad at the Republicans for not taking climate change serious enough and the Trump administration basically deregulating EPA requirements and standards and not focusing on fucking green alternative deregulating EPA requirements and standards, not focusing on fucking green alternative energy sources, et cetera. That's the other. So they feel like, oh, the floods are a product of climate change, so that's another thing people are pissy about.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, it's just another disaster like any other disaster. So what are you going to do? The difference is they are going to get the help. You already know that he's not going to let anybody hang over there, like somebody we know did so. Anyway, they're just pissed off that he won. They can't get over it. So they got to whine like a bunch of little fucking schoolgirls.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, they're all red Republicans so there's no thing to serve. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Just like the allegations from the Biden administration, leaving counties in North Carolina that voted for Trump hanging in the dust during the fucking floods. I mean, that's pretty fucked up if it's true.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just like booty juice took forever to go down to that disaster. Remember how many days did it take?
Speaker 1:them to get down there, palestine, palestine.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Whatever it was the train thing.
Speaker 1:And then people also felt the thing. The other thing about People felt Because Maui was a fucking train wreck, but the other thing, that People are pissed off about FEMA and we had friends in the family that Worked for FEMA for many years. You have FEMA, I got a FEMA, I got two femurs. Hey, the biggest bone in your body, there's a lot to it, man.
Speaker 2:They have to set up a whole command center. All kinds of stuff they do. There's a lot to it. They do the best they can do for the situation. It's when they don't get sent down there when it becomes a problem like what Biden did but also a lot of the funds they allegedly were misappropriated that were supposed to go to FIMA the money that was sent to them was the money that was sent to FIMA to fund the department allegedly was the
Speaker 2:illegal immigrants was misappropriated and they, you know, allegedly with a lot of it. No, it was the illegal immigrants. It sucked the money dry.
Speaker 1:It was misappropriate yeah.
Speaker 2:Right. Is that what that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can't remember because it was a while back.
Speaker 2:The allegations yeah, it was that. Yeah, they ran it dry yeah.
Speaker 1:And then the fucking oh yeah, yeah, because they had to put people up in fucking hotels and shit in New York.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for $500 a night.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they used the fucking FEMA funds. That's right. I forgot all about that.
Speaker 3:They didn't care. They didn't care then.
Speaker 2:They didn't care. Well, this won't be the last one, they're losers.
Speaker 1:There's going to be other ones, believe me.
Speaker 2:Hurricane season's coming, they're not sending their best.
Speaker 3:They don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 1:That's the way they were. It's a bad embrace.
Speaker 2:That's what they were doing.
Speaker 1:But there'll be other hurricanes coming up pretty soon. So FEMA? Yeah, so when the people in North Carolina needed FEMA's help, they were fucking broke. But the other thing that and this has been a this has been a controversy since hurricane katrina they feel that fema has become too powerful and too controlling during, um, emergency disasters. Uh, we had controversies during hurricane, katrina and then Maui, like, for instance. There were some people and so one example was there was a Connex box full of water, water aid.
Speaker 2:Right, they wouldn't let them deliver it.
Speaker 1:Well, they delivered it, but I don't know Somebody else.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no. Somebody I don't know. I don't know somebody else. No, no, no, no. Somebody I don't know is I don't know how, I don't know who, but somebody donated it for aid. It was a whole conics box full of water that made it there and fema locked it up and prevented people from access to the water, and the people didn't really have any water around them. Fema said we can't let you drink this water because it hasn't been tested and vetted through us. So, um, that was a fucking, that was a fucked up situation because, if I remember correctly, the people didn't have a whole lot of access to drinking water at the time and that one source of you know I mean it was unverified, but it was fucking water fema wouldn't allow them to.
Speaker 1:I'm going around in circles, but you get the point. So there's there's there's controversies, that people feel that fema has gotten too powerful and too overbearing.
Speaker 2:Um in that it's all gonna get straightened out. Now, though, though I believe that yeah, so you know and— they got the right administration in there that cares.
Speaker 1:So changes have been made to FEMA and we'll see going forward. What happened before—and what people don't know is FEMA was created by JFK, so before that, a lot of this— it's kind of like the department of education, like you had like a civil emergency patrol of people. People would handle this at their local and state levels. Um, they'd have you know little, uh, civil emergency squads and whatever, and they would typically be funded by the communities and these things would be handled. These disaster matters would be handled at the state and local county levels and such. And then you know the whole idea, obviously. You know he authorized this department. You know he authorized this department. Now it's federally funded and they can go anywhere in the country and, you know, in emergency situations, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2:All right, let's cover it off for that now. So let's go something more positive, like the military. Hiv A lot of people recruiting now, so it's getting up there. I guess they're getting up on.
Speaker 1:HIV positive.
Speaker 2:They're coming. Yeah Well, guess they're getting up on HIV positive. They're coming. Yeah Well, they're coming in the military now they're getting their quotas, they're getting their quotas. So things are looking good. Starting to straighten it out.
Speaker 3:All right, yeah, recruiting stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:The Army met its recruiting goals. The Air Force is all up too.
Speaker 1:The Army met their recruiting quota quarters before the deadline Quota, quota quota quarters. I said many quarters before deadline.
Speaker 2:Yeah, whatever. Anyway, even the Air Force did too. Yeah, what are they at Asshole what they all? Even the Air Force did too yeah what are they at Asshole?
Speaker 3:What are they? The Air Force?
Speaker 1:I guess their number was at 100% was 6,549 yeah, that's good that they and the air, yeah, well you get a reserve. So far those two opponents for the army was over 12 000, and that's 100 the goal was uh 12 060 and they made up 12 569 wow, yeah that's good so that's good so far for the Army and the Air Force, and then I guess the Air Force is thinking about creating a new dress uniform too.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I didn't hear that one.
Speaker 1:It looks snazzy.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:What they got? The same one for years.
Speaker 3:I know they have the PC3.
Speaker 2:Are you talking about utilities or a dress uniform?
Speaker 1:Dress uniform. What else can they do?
Speaker 2:What's it going to be? Jumpsuit.
Speaker 1:No, it kind of looks futuristic. It's short.
Speaker 2:Where did you see that? How, how, I mean yeah where did you hear that? I didn't hear nothing like that.
Speaker 1:I've seen it. On what was it my old VFW commander posted on Facebook. But let's see.
Speaker 2:Go find it and send it to me. I want to see it Futuristic.
Speaker 3:How can they do it?
Speaker 2:in a dress uniform. Being futuristic, it's like a suit, don't it?
Speaker 1:We got to verify it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's for sure. Verify, clarify.
Speaker 3:The US Army is transitioning to the Army Green Terps.
Speaker 2:Hey, I got one that'll take us some time. Go ahead and try to get that thing if you want to come back to it. I got a funny story I can tell you ready. I got from popular demand from Henderson Harley. They wanted me to tell this on air what you were there, jake, what you heard the story, what about the VA? The VA.
Speaker 1:You just pivoted completely like 360.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because you're going to go look something up. You're going to be gone. You're going to be gone.
Speaker 1:How the fuck did I know what you were talking about? You fucking did a 360, man.
Speaker 2:Because you were there, we talked about it.
Speaker 1:We're talking about a fucking dress uniform and a new one no you said you're going to go look it up.
Speaker 2:I said while you're doing that.
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell a story. Well, go ahead and tell your story From Henderson Harley.
Speaker 2:You weren't there when he said that, when he said you should tell that on the podcast.
Speaker 1:Yes, you were. What I'm saying is Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to go into a new subject, that's fine, we're whipping this one to death.
Speaker 1:I know what I was saying is we're talking about one thing and the next thing. I know you're talking about this other fucking.
Speaker 2:No, you're pissed off. No, I didn't talk about it, I said while you're looking that up.
Speaker 3:You're pissed. You know what? Forget the story, go ahead.
Speaker 1:Ramble on, you're pissed off. Ramble on about nothing, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Got about five minutes of rambling bullshit now and you're pissed off that I'm confused. No, because I said you said you're going to go look it up. I said while you're looking it up, I'm going to tell a story.
Speaker 1:That's what I said. Then, all of a sudden, you got to make an issue out of it Because you got fucking pissy with me.
Speaker 2:That's why.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't. I said, while you're going to look it up, I'm going to tell a story.
Speaker 2:What's pissy? You're the pisser.
Speaker 1:I wasn't paying attention to that. I was trying to look up tempered pants.
Speaker 2:No, you said to me oh, I didn't do that, so are you talking about the AGSU?
Speaker 1:Because I was doing the fucking dressing uniform.
Speaker 3:You're talking about the ASUs right, we're talking about strictly for like formal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I'm fucking right, we're talking about the dress uniform.
Speaker 2:Like you know, you're.
Speaker 3:I get that. I get that Jake are you talking? About the formals. Yeah, I don't see anything for the.
Speaker 1:ASU.
Speaker 2:I've heard people saying that they're the service uniform, the one you get dressed up when you have an inspection For the Air Force the. Air Force is supposed to be getting a new dress uniform you just said before.
Speaker 1:Allegedly.
Speaker 2:Oh, now it's allegedly.
Speaker 3:New uniform. Well, I know, from what I understand, they're going to try to sir outside of the Pentagon and all that. Everybody's going to be wearing OCP still, but inside I think they're going to be wearing the HGSU for the Army. I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1:Cool, yeah, cool. But yeah, I'm talking about the Air Force dress uniform, the new one they're proposing, apparently.
Speaker 3:Here are the new—oh, that's not—. Hmm, yeah, where is it? So where is it? I don't even know what the hell they're called.
Speaker 2:Dress uniform. For Christ's sake.
Speaker 1:Air Force dress uniform.
Speaker 2:They're dressed in a blue uniform.
Speaker 1:Air Force dress uniform. Yeah, Air Force dress uniform. They wear like a.
Speaker 2:Your Army dress uniform is green now Because you went back to World War II.
Speaker 3:That pisses me off, Anyways. So so they're changing the dress uniform. Is that their everyday?
Speaker 1:Is that?
Speaker 3:their uniform from the office.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:No, it's the one they wear when they dress up. Everyday uniform is your like the Army, wore it ASUs or OCPs, marine Corps, they're called utilities. That's your everyday uniform, your work uniform. Then you got your dress uniform. When you dress up Like you're going to go home to a, you're going to get married in your dress uniform, you get it. Yeah, the Air Force is always blue. I'm going to get married in my underwear.
Speaker 2:Their uniform was always blue, their dress uniform. So what would be the difference? Now it's going to be space uniform now or future?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it looks like spacey futuristic. It's going to be space or a future. It looks like spacey futuristic. It's got an up collar like the Marines.
Speaker 2:What up collar, the leather neck.
Speaker 1:It's not like a leather, it wouldn't be, I don't think, a leather neck.
Speaker 2:No, I know it's just going to look that way.
Speaker 3:Oh, I think I'm looking at it. I just sent the fucking text message. The StreamYard.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I sent it like five minutes ago, I don't see it.
Speaker 2:How did you see it? I can't see it.
Speaker 1:You have to go to your text message. You didn't even tell us that, but anyway.
Speaker 2:What text message?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm looking at it now online, it looks pretty goofy.
Speaker 2:My text message message yeah, where is?
Speaker 1:it I figured you guys would have heard your phones go up you didn't send me shit, so I didn't say anything, sorry I'm on my text message.
Speaker 2:I don't see nothing.
Speaker 1:You gotta go to the group text. Go to the fucking group text. What else is fucking new? Oh, it's so hard, oh boohoo it is actually.
Speaker 2:I'm hitting on the thing, but I ain't seeing it. It ain't there. I hit my Texas and I can't get it because that stupid box that's on the air is in the way. That's why I can't see it.
Speaker 3:I can't get out of it.
Speaker 2:I can't get out of it All I have is my regular text stuff. No, it ain't there.
Speaker 1:You fucking shit me guys, it's not in the fucking group text.
Speaker 2:I'm literally looking at it right now. Send it to my what the no, because I can't get it.
Speaker 1:The box is in the way you can't get to it. What the fuck.
Speaker 2:Oh well me a break.
Speaker 3:That's your new one.
Speaker 2:It looks like a Nazi. The only thing he's missing is the two fucking SS, fucking lightning bolts. Yeah, I don't like it. Yeah, it looks like Captain Kangaroo it looks like a Nazi uniform. Don't know, I can't remember.
Speaker 1:So you're calling Captain Kangaroo.
Speaker 2:I think, he was.
Speaker 1:You're calling Captain Kangaroo a Nazi. That's fucked up. You know what it is.
Speaker 2:It's because they made the line Go down with the buttons white and the white rim is all the way around, that's why?
Speaker 1:I don't know what do you gotta change it to Captain KK Kangaroo. They look like a fucking bellhop.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't like those. They look stupid. Nah, I don't like those. Prototype is no good.
Speaker 2:US yeah, that's no good.
Speaker 3:Oh no, there's no devil in this, that sucks.
Speaker 2:Now, is that white or silver? You think the buttons are probably silver color, but is that white band that goes all the way around the bottom and the edge of the epaulets? Is that white or is that silver it? Still would look fucked up. It looks like a.
Speaker 1:Nazi uniform. It's a Luftwaffe, the Luftwaffe uniform.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that don't look good.
Speaker 3:Because I saw a different picture that looks a little.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Huh no. I don't think so Well that ain't Vogue Indian, is it?
Speaker 3:Oh God, Never mind that's.
Speaker 2:You see now the other thing, the style of that jacket.
Speaker 3:So it does look like a Marie jacket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when we're in our dress blues. You know we don't have those ribs on, but it looks like that style popped collar because it's a. It's a real neat style. It's like very easy to keep it neat instead of you don't have to tie a tie. You know what I'm saying, you know? But but it looks like a nazi. The collars make it look like it's a nazi uniform. Yeah, dog, but it looks like a Nazi the colors make it look like it's a Nazi uniform.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Fucking Luftwaffe dog, yeah, really flying high into the wild blue, yeah, into the wild blue incinerator. Screw that Well. Anyway, I guess we got. I got to try to get my other thing back on.
Speaker 1:Oh there it is, am I still there?
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, I got it. I clicked on it. At least I seen what it looked like. I don't like the way it looks though I mean. The only thing I don't like about it Is that white rim all the way around everything.
Speaker 1:I don't like the way you look.
Speaker 2:And I don't give the way you look and I don't give a fuck what you like. Yeah, anyway, alright, so you looked the picture up. That was it Next. So we got good recruitment in. They're building up, they're going to be building more ships. More planes, all kinds of crap.
Speaker 1:You wanted to talk Besides building the military. It's more of an emphasis on upgrading and modernizing the military, less troops's. More of an emphasis on upgrading and modernizing the military, less troops but you.
Speaker 3:What do you think? Less troops, Modernizing it by less troops?
Speaker 2:Well we're supposed to be adding ships and planes.
Speaker 1:We don't want to add more drones. Submarines, submarines, robotic dogs, robotic tanks, fucking. Hey, if we can get a platoon of robotic dogs, robotic dogs and robotic planes and just everything, just robots.
Speaker 3:That'd be pretty legit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we are dogs, we're fucking. In other words, you're saying everything, not man, we're army dogs yeah.
Speaker 2:Everything, not man.
Speaker 3:Because if we could eliminate the human aspect of infantry, that'd be great. Yeah, everything, not man. Because if we could eliminate the human aspect of infantry, that would be great yeah we heard that. So if we get the human aspect of the military, would that be a good thing?
Speaker 2:I don't know, it could be good and bad, because technology can end up giving somebody an edge if they're better at it than the next one is than the next person, or enemy, you know. I think always in the end you're going to have to have a kind of conventional warfare anyway. What are you going to do?
Speaker 1:You know, somebody's got to go in there and mop up. On one hand it's better to yeah it'll be to send robots in to get blown up than sending people in to blow up and die. So you know, I mean it's good like that. But the part about the robots potentially turn against us, that's another problem.
Speaker 2:It'll be a little bit of both probably.
Speaker 1:It's going to be human and robotic. Right now it's going to be blended, so fortunately it will spare the lives of a certain amount of humans. We won't be as heavily dependent on human beings and or animals as much in warfare. We'll have robotic companions, so that's good.
Speaker 3:What about drones?
Speaker 1:We have to be.
Speaker 2:They got drones now.
Speaker 1:Drones is one thing, but artificial intelligence we definitely have to keep an eye on.
Speaker 2:No, what the new future soldier is going to be like. This is what he's going to be like. He's going to have an armor suit on, he's going to be all inside of an armor shell to protect him from getting hit, and all kinds of different stuff. Yeah, power armor, you know all that PSYOP stuff, all the stuff the helicopter pilots got in their helmet, exoskeleton. They're going to have all that special weapons but they're going to be inside of an armor suit Power armor.
Speaker 3:Exoskeleton? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Precisely who Power armor exoskeleton battle suits.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1:It'll basically be the futuristic version of Knights in Shining armor.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, they can make them run faster. Bullets in pants, all kinds of things.
Speaker 3:Carry a bigger load, you'll have a machine pretty much running carrying the weight.
Speaker 1:Well, you know look, the Rangers experimented with these fucking struts, these metal struts, and then they step into and it actually gives them the ability to carry a lot more weight as it is right now.
Speaker 3:Exoskeletons. I wonder what would happen, you know, like five years after they stop using it. Will they just freaking, crumble their bodies? I don't know. That's the worst part.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 3:The effect on a human if they do that, because at the end of the day, you're still carrying it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like going out of space when you're in there for so many days. It can screw up your eyes, your visions and everything else.
Speaker 1:I think it depends.
Speaker 2:Because they're weightless and it causes other medical problems. I think it depends. It could.
Speaker 1:I think it depends. On the one hand, it's going to prevent a lot of wear and tear on the joints, on the other hand, uh and and well, I mean, don't get me wrong I would think by you know like, especially at the end of the day, it's you're not likely, is it possible, you'll be rocking those 24 in a 24 hour period. During a mission, perhaps, but a lot of the time at the end of the day, when you're recuperating, let's say for the night, you would think they'd be taking those off to get some R&R, the rest to sleep, but who knows? Yeah.
Speaker 2:They'll figure it out. They'll be testing it. They're probably testing it now.
Speaker 3:It's crazy because it's like watching all these videos from Ukraine. They're using these like $35 fucking drones and they're using them to do all. We're talking about guys that are just amazing at you know, controlling drones, Just sitting there dropping grenades on people.
Speaker 1:Let's send the robots in. Send the robots in To fuck shit up. And if the drone gets blown up, who gives a shit? It's not a human life.
Speaker 2:Well, they were saying Even China now China has a has a dragonfly drone that's big as a dragonfly and it's all kinds of shit you know.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:It does. You know, it could go blow something up A little teeny, the size of a dragonfly.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and it looks like that. Just put a little CG4 on it and just have it. Yeah, they're fucking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're a little sneaky bastards, you know. Oh, you can see they're going to be putting chemical shit in there. You know, chemical fucking diseases.
Speaker 3:Would that be a World War III with China, you think?
Speaker 2:They said I guess, if you survive it who knows?
Speaker 1:ISIS was fucking putting grenades on fucking drones and dropping them on fucking bases. They've been doing shit like that already.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's just so crazy. How well you know like the fucking loon.
Speaker 1:I was saying it's like the fucking the way they were. I was saying it's like the fucking the way they're using drones. It was like the fucking looney tunes well, look at all of the um.
Speaker 3:Like the olympics, remember, did their drone uh display or whatever it was. All that is all done by a computer and all they have to do is just do. They just send a swarm of 300 drones at a time. It's crazy yeah.
Speaker 2:Right or more?
Speaker 3:Thousands. Yeah, that would decimate an entire base almost you would think right.
Speaker 2:And they don't have to be that big. They could be like five, six inches bigger.
Speaker 1:That's what they're used to.
Speaker 2:Depends on what it has on it. That's what Ukraine, how powerful the explosive is on it. It even could be nuclear. That's what it even could have a certain amount of nuclear inside these things.
Speaker 1:That's what fucking Ukraine did with all those Russian fighter jets. They sent in a small swarm of drones, in Little drones to blow up big-ass fighter planes.
Speaker 2:That was pretty crazy, right.
Speaker 1:Like nothing, like it was nothing.
Speaker 2:So it's getting pretty technical already. It's going to get more advanced in time too. I can't wait to see this. I can't wait to see the golden dome that they're going to be building. Is it $29 million or a billion? What was it? I forget the Iron Dome.
Speaker 1:Not the.
Speaker 2:Iron Dome. It's going to be the golden dome. Was it $40? That he's going to use to protect the country? Was it 40 million? I can't wait to see what that fucking thing's going to look like Was it 44 million, I can't remember. I don't know. It was a lot, though I can't remember.
Speaker 1:Billion. It ain't going to be million, it'll be billion. I meant 44 million.
Speaker 3:What they're saying is Sorry.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Whatever it is. No, no, I'm sorry. So the Iron Dome alone is 50 million, so it's called a golden dome.
Speaker 2:I call because it's the best. It should be the best in the world.
