  I can tell you the origin story of the football, which they declassified for the book. But I asked this question to Dr. Glenn McDuff, like in a different manner, I said, "Is there a chance that the Stratcom commander would defy orders? And he said, "Annie, you have a better chance winning Powerball." - Why do you think, what's his intuition behind that? - You don't wind up a Stratcom commander unless you are someone who follows orders. You follow orders. - You don't think there's a deep humanity there? Because his intuition is about everything we know so far, but this situation has never happened in the history of earth. - All right, so you're raising a really tricky, interesting conundrum here, because during COVID, when President Trump and the leader of North Korea were kind of locked in various relationships with one another, good, bad, threatening, non-threatening, friendly, just bananas you might say, like not presidential behavior.
