00:00As far as $200 billion, I think that number could move, obviously. It takes money to kill bad guys.
00:09So we're going back to Congress and folks there to ensure that we're properly funded for what's
00:15been done, for what we may have to do in the future. Ensure that our ammunition is, everything's
00:21refilled, and not just refilled, but above and beyond. I mean, President Trump, as he said,
00:25rebuilt the military in his first term. Didn't think he'd use it as dynamically in his second,
00:29but he had. So thank goodness he did that. And an investment like this is meant to say, hey,
00:34we'll replace anything that was spent. And now that we're reviving our defense industrial base and
00:38rebuilding the arsenal of freedom and cutting deals like our great deputy secretaries here is doing,
00:42long lead times on exquisite munitions, we're going to be refilled faster than anyone imagined.
00:48And I think, you know, we're also still dealing with the environment that Joe Biden created,
00:54which was depleting those stockholds and not sending them to our own military,
00:59but to Ukraine, which is when you, every time we reach back and look at any sort of a challenge
01:05we have, it goes back to, well, send it to Ukraine. Ultimately, we think this should be these,
01:10these munitions are better spent in our own interests at this point. And this kind of
01:15funding bill is going to ensure that we're properly funded.
