Okay.
1:30:00
The last thing I'll say is, again, sort of where I started, with the incoming Trump administration, they're all signs are pointing to cuts in funding.
1:30:07
So the idea that we're going to be strengthening resources, and there's real doubts that that's going to happen and actually the opposite is going to happen.
1:30:16
So we want to make sure that agencies are prepared for that.
Jess Dannhauser
1:30:19
Absolutely.
1:30:20
And I, if I didn't communicate it well, I I think that's even more the reason to try to build on the existing infrastructure and and put more resources there.
1:30:30
The only only perspective difference that we have is sort of where we should sort of start that conversation.
