You have a new term, defense industrial base. Is that what we're calling it? What is that? Well, that's the, the underlying companies and capability you need to have a defense system. So Pennsylvania is an interesting case. 9,000 companies, 465,000 parts that go into 2300 weapon systems. If you don't have those companies that can build those pieces, like Rhodes, which is a submarine component manufacturer in Philadelphia, then you don't have a defense capability. (03:22–03:35)
