Hello. Good to see you again. Nice to see you. What is the latest in the world of Ryan? Other than the fact that you're about to have a child. Congratulations on that. Thank you. You wanted to talk to me about this drone situation, and I've become very concerned. I don't understand what's going on. I think there's a bunch of different narratives. Some of them are very scary.
The scariest one that I've heard is that the drones are looking for gamma radiation because there's a missing nuke.
Yeah. Let's address that first. So there has been a lot going on. I made an ex-post about this yesterday to try to assuage some fears. I saw it, but I purposely didn't read it because I wanted to get it from you. Yeah. So, you know, I've had the privilege of interacting with a lot of government organizations over the past few years as I've been digging down this rabbit hole.
Law enforcement at a federal level, DOD, executive branch, legislative branch, and some of the folks that I've come in contact with, they specifically work on weapons of mass destruction. So that's their job. So if there's a loose nuke in the United States –
Among other agencies, they would be some of the people that would be sitting in a skiff for 24 hours a day trying to figure out where it is and to go get it. So you can imagine that would be their number one priority. So I engage with these folks. I ask them, what's the sense here? People are kind of starting to panic a little bit, and this message is getting out there more and more broadly.
And they assured me that's not the case, that there is not a loose nuke or other type of weapon of mass destruction that these objects, whatever they are, are pursuing right now. Otherwise, they would be working in a skiff nonstop to make that go away, that problem go away.
You know, that's part of why I have a high confidence level that this is not a response to a massive imminent, you know, weapons of mass destruction threat on the eastern seaboard. So I just want to try to dispel that rumor right now. I've seen a lot of talk of that online.
And I don't, you know, although this is, you know, I think a dangerous and scary situation that's going on right now, at least from that particular angle, that's not the indications I'm receiving.
