they were taught lesta, naturalistic, sabrina, nist hit parades. ah, it was the early 19 eighties and communist yugoslavia and a group of high school friends in the multi ethnic city of sarajevo formed a rock band called zap iranian pushin. yay no smoking. they started doing a weekly committee spot on the radio, which later became a television program. it was a massive hit. the characters they portrayed real people often placed in serial situations. and they used the language of the saudi, those streets. they called the ot movement, new primitivism, an audience is across the country, recognized the humor as distinctly bosnian whose top needs to revolved over the years. but at the call was then it's nelly and ju row. well, the road just been wor, changed everything. in the early ninety's yugoslavia disintegrated and bosnia was shattered. around a 100000 people were killed. many of them civilians, emboldened 2000000 fed their homes. the siege of sarajevo by sub forces lost it more than 3 and a half years. the longest blockade of a capital city in mod

tapping into across the federal government, a lot hoff this is being worked with our teammates at nist. and with our teammates at omb and with new teammates at the national cyber director office and that's been terrific. and i think, you know, the other really good thing in the order is all about software, supply chain. right? you know, we saw with solar winds but that was not isolated. we've been looking at these supply chain attacks forever and even at morgan stanley we were very focused on securing of the supply chain and making sure all of our vendors we are vetted and were secured because as you know we could spend a billion dollars at a big bank. but we're only secure as our weakest link and. that is why at the end of the day this collective defense principle is so critical to all of us. because everything is connected. everything is interdependent. therefore, everything is vulnerable. so is software and supply chain work on this, the big news out of that was the s-bomb. you know, we come one these crazy acronyms. i don't know why you get them. but software bill of materials. >>

so obviously we can have the mutual, i would say, a corporate of nist that could kick in all. and also we must have that considering the fact that, you know, most of these advance nations have really swelled up on their depth. so obviously to sustain a calamity or i should say calmness within the financial market is a must particular for countries like japan where you know our debt to g, d, p will, over 200 percent. and our demographics clearly showing their birth rate is only 1.34, and the fact that you know, our senior citizen is going to have a majority in, in 2025. obviously, you know, the rise of interest rate will be in armageddon scenario. and certainly it's not only for to remember the rest of the world as well, and especially under the situation where we're talking about a lot of spending, but not where the money is coming from. as i look at all 3 of you here, just to reminded me the fact that you're old at home, you're all either in a living room or a home study and you're on skype or 0. and this is obviously been one of the big changes that we've seen in the last ye
