Obviously, mostly, we've been talking a lot about the, trade war lately, the tariffs, but there are other things going on in the world. And in fact, there are some episodes that we've recorded prior to all this that we still want to publish. That's

right. So what you are about to hear is an episode we recorded way back on March 18. It feels like it was a lot longer ago, but it's been basically a month. And with everything that was happening in markets, all the trade announcements, the tariffs, we've had to put this one on hold. But we want you to listen to it. It's a really interesting topic and still very, very worthwhile to hear about it.

Right. We're gonna be talking about the Pentagon budget and things like that. If it feels a little dated, the conversation, that's because it is dated. But take a listen. I still think that you'll find, you know, there's still no world in which the nature of defense spending is not an important question, is not something interesting. So even with everything else going on in the world, you should take a listen. Here
