But I would argue the drones are maybe more impactful right now, given the quantity than the ballistic missiles.

We weren't going to get rid of all of those.

There's no scenario where we can get rid of all of those from the sky.

So there's a number we're going after.

2%, 5%, 12%, but it's still up there for sure.

Independent Americans around the country and around the world.

Who can we believe? What can we believe?

Especially around the issues of national security.

This is such an important time to try to find the ground truth,

I told you when we were getting ready, I'm a big fan and really impressed by what you've been able to do. And it's happening at a really important time, man. It's crazy. It all kind of came together at the same time, I think. People are, I mean, the nature of your show, people are looking elsewhere for sources of information. And the benefit of the internet is they're able to dial in to folks
