2 abortion bans failed, 1 passed in US statehouses this week
"There's been a slew of legislative and court actions on abortion recently. I'm Lisa dwyer with the latest. Ten months after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down roe V wade and a nationwide right to abortion, states are pushing in opposite directions on the issue this week, North Dakota's governor signed a new ban into law becoming the 14th state with a ban on abortions at all stages of pregnancy, making it one of the strictest abortion bans in the country. Abortions of pregnancies caused by rape or incest are allowed only in the first 6 weeks and they're allowed later only for specific medical emergencies, and Utah, there's a court hearing to determine whether a ban on abortion clinics there is allowed to take effect. Lawmakers in Nebraska and South Carolina felt just short of passing their own bands. Meanwhile, though governors of Minnesota and Washington signed bills to protect access. I'm Lisa dwyer.

North Dakota governor signs law banning abortion at 6 weeks
"North Dakota now has one of the most restrictive abortion laws on the books. I'm Lisa dwyer. North Dakota's Republican governor has signed legislation banning abortion at 6 weeks of pregnancy, the ban allows no exceptions for cases of rape or incest, making it one of the strictest in the country. It's designed to take effect immediately. But last month, North Dakota Supreme Court ruled that a state abortion ban will remain blocked while a lawsuit over its constitutionality proceeds last week lawmakers said they planned to pass the bill to send a message to the state's high court to signal that the people of North Dakota want to restrict abortion.

The Spectator: GOP Senators Preparing for McConnell Retirement
"This actually a deliberative body of the best and the brightest? In America or is it a taxpayer funded high dollar nursing home? And I asked that because you've got Mitch McConnell, who is still out, by the way, and it's not looking good for old Mitch, and we're going to get to that in just a moment, but now you have dianne Feinstein. You've got a couple of Democrats now on the record saying that she needs to go. Because she is not capable. She's been out with shingles, and then you've got senator feder neck out of Adam, Pennsylvania. So the spectator is now reporting that Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell may not be coming back. He suffered a fall at the official, the official reason was he tripped and fell, but I can tell you now based I have a source on this, my source tells me that there is no way McConnell is going to be able to come back. It was that serious of a fall. He has been in some sort of a rehab center for people who have suffered significant issues, strokes, for example. And according to the spectator, a spectator rather multiple sources confirm senator John barrasso of North Dakota, John cornyn of Texas and John thune of South Dakota, actively reaching out to fellow Republican senators to get ready for a leadership vote. That vote would happen when McConnell retires from his duties as leader. And by the way, a you folks in Kentucky he may end up having to retire from the U.S. Senate.

"Joining us is Darren Beatty. He runs one of the most important websites revolver news. You guys should visit it every day. I certainly do Darren. Welcome back to the program. Darren, I want to talk about Israel. You have a very unique take on that. But first, I just want to get your thoughts on this restrict act that we've been talking about that more Republicans than Democrats are sponsoring. And I just want to remind our audience what Republicans are sponsoring this. John boozman from Arkansas, my crepo from Idaho, Lindsey Graham from South Carolina, Tom tillis from North Carolina chuck grassley from Iowa, Kevin Kramer from North Dakota. Shelley Moore capito from West Virginia, Mitt Romney from Utah. Susan Collins from Maine, Dan Sullivan from Alaska, Jerry Moran from Kansas, Deb Fischer from Nebraska and John thune from South Dakota. Darren, your thoughts on the restrict act. Well, you have a bill that supported by Lindsey Graham, Tom tillis and Mitt Romney. You know you're in for a beauty. The restrict act, what can we say about it? Well, first thing to know is that it's a Trojan horse type Bill. What it's being packaged as is some kind of way to counteract the nefarious foreign communist infused influence of TikTok, which is a natural cell. Everybody can get behind that. But what it actually is, is a Trojan horse. And amounts effectively, I think the best description of it that I've heard is the Patriot Act for the Internet. Even though the marketing is specifically tailored to TikTok, something that we all love to hate, the actual substance of the bill is very vague and it is no way limited to TikTok. It's vaguely constrained to technologies associated with quote unquote foreign adversaries.

Abortion ban injunction upheld by N. Dakota Supreme Court
"North Dakota's ban on abortions will remain blocked while legal challenges against the law continue. North Dakota's Supreme Court just ruled the state's abortion ban can not be implemented, while a lawsuit continues that challenges the constitutionality of that ban. The ban was designed to take effect once the U.S. Supreme Court overturned roe versus wade. But the Red River women's clinic sought an injunction, saying abortion rights were protected under the state constitution. The clinic's director is praising the court's extension of an injunction granted last summer. The clinic has already moved its operation from Fargo North Dakota to nearby moorhead, Minnesota, where abortion is still legal. I'm Jackie Quinn

Air Force relieves 6 officers at nuclear base after lapses
"The air force adds relieved 6 officers of their command at a nuclear missile base. They include two commanders and four subordinates and charge of caring for infrastructure fuel and logistics support at North Dakota's minot Air Force Base. The service says the dismissals were based on non compliance with safety regulations, noting while that's based on results of one inspection. The units had not been in compliance for some time. The air force has been taking a tougher line with discipline in the nuclear ranks, which has suffered through a series of safety concerns and controversies. They include cheating drugs and a bomber flying across the country 16 years ago, mistakenly loaded with 6 nuclear armed missiles.

Air Force will review cancer among personnel who worked close to nation's ground-based warheads
"The air force is expanding its review of cancers among the nation's nuclear missile personnel. They're called missileers, the airmen who launch nuclear warheads from underground silos and command centers. Space Force reported last month 9 officers who worked as missiles at a Montana air base were diagnosed with non Hodgkin lymphoma. Since then, more missiles and support crew have said they too had been diagnosed with the same or other types of cancers. The air force will now review the entire ground based nuclear missile corps at three bases in Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming to include environmental factors at the bases and silos.

Parts of northern US shut down ahead of winter storm
"Brutal winter weather bringing snow dangerous gusts of wind and bitter cold settled over much of the northern U.S. Wednesday.

Lord Conrad Black Reflects on the Last 9 Days in U.S. Politics
"Somebody who's north of the border who's done business across the globe ran an international media empire, how is this being read? What do you think in other capitals, friendly and unfriendly? Are the conclusions being drawn on the last 9 days in U.S. politics? Well, I think on the first balloon that was shot down offset South Carolina. Nobody disputes that was has been acknowledged to Chinese balloon. I think most opinion would be skeptical that China is accounting honestly for it. But there is widespread astonishment that the United States would tolerate this. Drifting all the way across the country, but we're before it was shot down. The U.S. and Canada. I mean, Canada should have shot it down once presumably. They were not as a joint venture. And they would be aware of it at the same time in the U.S. was. So but frankly, people in the world don't care too much about Canadian air space, but they're a little taken aback that the Americans would be tolerating the same drifting over the missile silos in North Dakota and so on. But I think I have no standing to speak for the world, but my impression is that people are surprised that the U.S. administration is treating the whole thing in such a cavalier manner and doesn't really seem to take it seriously at all. And then has compounded it by leaping from complacency to overkill and scrambling very sophisticated fighter planes and interceptors of both countries into the air to shoot down random, unidentified objects were even after they've been brought in. We have no real idea what they were.

Larry Taunton Talks About The Real 'Toxic Masculinity'
"Talking about really toxic masculinity folks. And we were talking about Muhammad and the warrior culture and the culture of men deflowering innumerable virgins. And talk about this so people understand when we're talking about this really sick criminal phenomenon that's been happening in Great Britain, what it is we mean. What are we talking about specifically? Well, it's throughout Europe. The larger point that I'm trying to make here as it relates to my article, America's man problem, where have all the good men gone is simply this, that what is real toxic masculinity, which we find in the transgender movement. And the gay community. And then on the other side, in the truly toxic masculinity of those elements of the Islamic culture that see women as nothing but objects to be used and disposed of, the left says nothing. In fact, they empower both of those versions of toxic masculinity. Those are protected species. Meanwhile, if I go on a hunting trip and I were to post a few pictures from my hunting trip of my buddies, enjoying their time, you're going to immediately be denounced as some kind of danger to society.

Where some residents tried to shovel out, even before the storm was finished.

"At the university of North Dakota recently found human remains in their collections. They belong to people from native nations. The university will work with tribal governments to return their ancestors and related artifacts. Minnesota public radio's Dan Gunderson reports. Human remains were found in storage earlier this year when university employees were searching the Grand Forks North Dakota campus for an artifact sought by a Native American tribe, lane Lyons is an enrolled member of the turtle mountain band of chippewa, and a UND employee. She recalls the shock, anger, and disappointment of finding the first human remains. My heart sunk into my stomach. It was at that moment that I knew we were another institution that didn't do the right thing. Lions is a member of a repatriation committee guiding the university and following federal law regarding Native American remains. The Native American graves protection and repatriation act became law in 1990. The law requires the return of human remains, funerary objects and sacred objects held by universities, museums, and federal state or local governments. At a recent press conference, university of North Dakota president Andrew armagh said the university is still working to complete an inventory. The number of ancestors that we have here currently on campus can be measured in the dozens. When we include other sacred artifacts, we have well over 250 boxes. But how and why ancestors and sacred items remain on our campus is a mystery that we will have to answer in the course of our work. Our tribal nations will lead the repatriation work with the full support of the university. North Dakota, Indian affairs commission executive director Nathan Davis says it will be a long, painful process. Davis says there are no traditional ceremonies for reburying ancestors removed from their graves. And violets, who we are, that violates our culture. So when we say this hurts, it's because it touches our soul, it touches our spirit because in our ways, this is not supposed to happen. Our level ones are supposed to rest. The university helps to complete the repatriation of ancestors and artifacts within two years. For NPR news, I'm Dan Gunderson

Welcome donna much. Wonderful be here. We'll donna let's go ahead and get the conversation started with you and take us back to the economy nationally before the pandemic what would what did it look like so as a as you well know. So native. american employment has typically been below General employment within the united states. So for white americans. Employment levels hovered around eighty one percent or so but for native americans on aggregate. It was vote eighty six percent. Just that's for the people who are working age generally But the academic the economic followed from the pandemic really exacerbated that inequality. Well the april employment to population ratios. Where the lowest for all races had been that you said since the nineteen forties the native american employment ratio showed the biggest overall drop falling from seventy percent in january two low fifty five percent in april and a non metro areas actually following his lows forty percent and is that compared what some of the employment looks like for indian country as well i see exactly so we don't have unfortunately a reservation specific numbers however been on metro areas are proxy for that.

So it's really nice to imbue. We like you know. I know your style of teaching line. So if you that to teacher so they can do that in the field and it's always interesting. Will you work as speaker over zoom last semester. Your school so interesting to them like it out now. this is really true. This is what lots of teachers do. This sort of thing like they actually teach mike fast or they actually. This is real grades thing. I'm not just the looney or something you know. And there's a convincing right. There was a bit of convincing with that for some undergraduates. Until until the pandemic with my with my mom knows what google classroom ants right here like you know social emotional learning on the news right. Suddenly it's like way right in the forefront right so there's no doubt like why am i learning this or why this class because it was require course in content area classes. If you're a teacher why am i in this course. Well here's twine. Here are all these other forms of literacy right that you can learn that are enhanced with technology so I would say it was really exciting to To teach teachers. And i'm still teaching in the classroom aspects. Were interesting but i guess the most jarring for anybody who goes to academia is one of course a posture syndrome and two is all. It's remember to college is all that empty space during the day. It's not the class schedule of being a classroom teacher. Yes it's really different types of schedule. Full days off in the middle of the week. Sometimes i've the face to face. Teaching in the fall is a couple of hours a week but then again their service. There's all the committees sitting on The school the university and then all of course dissertation committees and then there's all the research and publication and suddenly all those side projects counted. Because i know you're involved a lot of these side projects you know. All those suddenly are be that counts at the university level. Oh i love that. I do all the side. It's like wow i can. I can write a book or i can do. Research about games. You know are all these things that already interests me and they count for my work. That became very exciting. But it's yeah. It's nice to have the free time i can go pick up my son from school or i can like you know. I can do random things sometimes during the day. If i need to but then again you're always on the clock out. It's always writing all the time you know and it's even worse than amplify chocolate by games and experiences. You know you can go to disneyland and like wow. This is really interesting. I can't stop thinking about this. So one of the things you just pointed out there and it might lead into what. I was kind of thinking of having to next. But you talked about the main thing being the moving from the classroom traditional classroom into professorship and academia being the.

You get your ticket then what else you can't film sessions. There's no catastrophe or army allowed him the session. So it's you can't. I don't know there's something about it just made me uncomfortable and and it kind of there definitely seems to be a huge money drive with a instagram presence. That says smiles and happiness. And i don't know. Maybe i'm not a good capitalist but those two things don't work together for me. I would agree with you i. I was hoping that i would find the hidden the hidden message the hidden thing that was there maybe something more. That's like a blazing fire That was like oh god. Let's stay away from this but a agree with you a hundred percent about that. I don't even know anybody not even one person if you're listening. Please let us know if you went to this. 'cause i wouldn't know. Dm us talk to us because we want to know if we're wrong or what this was about just in general Because i don't even know one person that went to it. So that's that's another thing that's weird like you're right. I'd never heard of it. It's huge right now. Because of the you know supposed- i can't believe this all the stuff. But i look at their even their instagram Pages one hundred and thirty eight thousand people it soup or like i am telling you right now. I'm looking at. This is super pro their website. You looked at it very professional. I mean high amounts of money and investment went into that in the way that that's actually formulated in the way that it works and the way that it sucks you into the free products so that you can go possibly go purchase products to. It's very very well done. And you're right. Maybe it's just a big like capitalistic. You know suck in of people in and people go there and get pictures professionally. Done and and get hyped up. I mean even get your on. Is it interesting. it's leaving.

"I mean it is difficult to stay on it. What they are doing and the manipulations of the board and on these just. There's some scape. The skate parks themselves that they're using. It's just terrifying. How bad you could actually hurt yourself. Even the way that they bail and only slightly hurt themselves is is also very athletic and skill intensive so it was a little off putting. I genuinely was a little off putting seeing them wearing ear buds in an olympic sport but then i thought it was like who cares like the moment. Okay that's weird. But really who cares. And i think a lot of the people complaining about skateboarding like just stopped watching. 'cause they're to me. There's no world in which you watched someone skateboard and do at that level and go. How on earth did they make skateboard. Go in the air but there's nothing holding it. They're just they're on it and this is one in the air. I don't get it. it's magic it's beyond my capabilities. My dad is probably the. The quintessential old crotchety man. And he's not really old enough to be as crotchety as he is but he is and he'll listen to this. Tell me that he's offended by these comments. And i don't care and he said oh. Yeah okay so we actually watched it for a little bit. And i won't admit i was pretty impressed. See my old man can be impressed by its. Yeah it's just too cool. It's yes it's super cool and it again. That's kind of one of the great things. I think about the olympics themselves. I wasn't exactly what it'd be watching it or anything. I turned it on and there was some weird sport was adamant and we my wife and i love badminton and we're like look watch. These people play badminton. This is not. This is not your backyard badminton. This is insane Same thing with table tennis and just some of these other sports that it's just people have become these just amazing athletes in and are able to go at a display their skills every four years and my by youngest son especially has been fascinated with just all these strange jewish kennedy sports like like. We're trying to figure out okay. What are the rules here. Even the skateboarding. Thank you know where you have certain amount for your runs. You could do the trick parts you know whatever might be so superfund. I'm glad that it happened because it was canceled from last year. Obviously and then now it's on this year And of course people left. Watch the the main sports the gymnastics. I suppose basketball. I'm not sure maybe swimming. I'm not sure you know what she's wearing is kind of a big one in the summer. I feel like it's a big summer and gymnastics is always up there so i not huge into the olympics. I think it's fine. Whatever i don't stake in a stock in my my my patriotism. In how many medals we get and but i will say. See skateboarding on there. It was pretty cool. I'm yeah that's that's kick butt kicked. But so usually mike ni- i wanted to bring you into and i was thinking about this podcast itself. The john roberts was on a different podcast being interviewed for the ed tech bites. Podcast i was doing it in spanish and we were talking about obviously at tech and specifically this case about game based learning and micro but i was as as we were doing the interview. Posted avails like what is on education really about threads so there is a bunch of different stuff in one of the topics that usually are what are the sources of discussions. Usually is edgy twitter. Whether for the good or the bad for everything else in between you know as far as the thing goes and this week is is is no surprise. We're bringing in a few different topics in the first one was something that i know. We've talked about several times on the podcast. I think it was related to this teacher. That had this room. That was basically a harry potter. Themed room and it was like someone snapped their figured..

Yes yes for sure so you were so you were a skater. Not i played. Tony hawkes skater. That was what i did. Oh that's where you got it. He's good at tie played so much. Tony hawk pro skater. So you know. That's a fantastic. Game it is. That's that's a underrated on top one hundred list. I just thought of that right now. That it's usually not doesn't appear on those kind of top one hundred. Listen as it should because they've revolutionized that type of genre where you can go and play an open world right. It was kind of open world. They go you skate parks so much time and stuff like it was crazy. I will say the craziest thing about it is. I was it and the women's skateboarders right there was. There was a french skateboarder. Her name is charlotte him. I looked this up after the fact that she was twenty. Eight years old. And if i heard them right she is a skateboarder and also a doctor and neuroscience and think that's fair like you can't be both of those things. I don't think okay i don't. I don't all right with that. What a gifted can human. You people don't understand though brad. How difficult like i i. I was going to rant about how people were complaining about skateboarding being in the olympics as a sport and how they can't stand that to whatever because you know. They're wearing their ear buds. While they skateboard that was that was the sign that it's not a real sports yet. We classify things like bowling and Sorry no i was thinking golf. Golf is very skill. Highly intensive is very difficult to do darts. i was thinking about darts to very skill-intensive but like have you ever been on escape for. That's what i wanna ask him just to stay on a skateboard and just go down a sidewalk without hurting yourself. You could ask my younger brother who my nephew guide escape. Board was early probably ten or eleven years old. Got it for christmas and he was trying to impress them. Right gets the skateboard is on the driver just gets on. It goes about five feet if flips out from underneath him cracked ribs..

You know, these air $35 are jobs for these pipelines and stuff like that in rule economies. Things that happened with executive orders and stuff. Flow down our direction as well.

They want retribution here that they weren't even consulted. No, that's right.

"Legislation That data privacy legislation though is outward from the state government. I again as i spoke about a while ago. Right internally within state government were already securing arcada. Ready categorizing Our data and making it usable by our agencies ir citizens so we already have that level of governments within the within the four walls of the state But i think that that that legislation around data privacy and how it can be leveraged. By is i i as i as i read the national review for example on around data privacy rights. It's it's beginning to coalesce even more and the inning. Two people are beginning to see the realities The bad of what can happen with data privacy if you read books like Weapons of mass destruction or human compatible. Right you can see kind of some of the bad things can happen if you don't have good governance transparency audibility and explain ability in place So i think that in my mind that technology is certainly certainly Morphine and becoming more usable. More pervasive more ambient if you will but also think that governance is going to going to have to assume that same same Audibility explain ability and transparency and become more ambient as well yeah. We reported that book. Weapons of mass destruction so we always encourage our listeners to to check out books definitely check that out and i am very excited for autonomous vehicles.

Who is the chief data officer for the state of north dakota so high doormen and thanks for joining us today. Kathleen ron thank you for the opportunity. Either to hang out with you guys for a little bit. Yeah we'd like to start by having you introduce yourself to our listeners. Tell them a little bit about your background. And your current role as the chief data officer for the state of north dakota. Sure sure well. Good morning everyone So my my background is You know went to college. Got a degree in computer science mathematics and then when often like everyone else When i lived in saint louis you. It was kind of a requirement. You had to work for mcdonnell. Douglas which is now boeing corporation. So did that for it. But but then after a while Got got involved in consulting and worked my way up through the Consulting ranked says developer and they as a project manager is the data architect the solution architect and then finally got into a position of driving business intelligence and analytics for a couple of large international consulting firms where ran their north america. Big data and the i practice And the great ride. A thoroughly enjoyed all of the things we did. I think we added a lot of value to Our customers which was private industry And had great teams Had a strong onshore team strong offshore kimes and delivered a lot of value. But i think two years ago Over two years ago. When i applied for this position as the chief data officer At first i really didn't want position Didn't like the idea of state government state government has has a bad connotation Of kind of a nine to five job And a people people who just weren't really motivated to To move the world change the world and my boss who i interviewed my off. Now the cio. Sean reilly Who i interviewed with his his final comment to me was well. I can't pay what you make today. But are you wanna paycheck or do want to change the world. And i had never thought about life that way. Never tried to change the world and So i decided to take on this opportunity This was the first chief data officer position for the state of north dakota so there were a lot of unknowns Certainly certainly my presence Was a bit chaotic for the organization. Because i came in with a completely different agenda and completely different way of looking at the world through the eyes of the pillars that are assigned a line to me which application development and automation. And the second pillar is data analytics data science artificial intelligence and had some very different opinions about those things. And how we might move those forward So as i became involved with this role i became an. I had made an assumption that every state had a chief data officer come to find out there are only twenty seven of us out of fifty states So it's it's an interesting It's an interesting mix of of individuals who are chief data officers and getting to know them is. It has been a really amazing opportunity because they have such a very backgrounds and they bring such such different perspectives to cheap date officer role I like to joke and tell people that the last thing i focus on data which is obviously not true but but my real focus is really around cultural change within the city physician and what that means in the context of not not necessarily data. Because i have to executives are on my team who Are just are just brilliant at running the operations and managing the two pillars within my organization. My my role is really focused around partnering with the cto or chief customer success officer and our chief information security officer around. How do we do. We changed the nature of how we use data. Let's make data usable As you can imagine in in state government As in as in any organization that i've i watched through in my thirty two thirty three years of of doing this kind of work I hear the same three things. My data quality is bad. I don't know where my data comes from on my business on excel spreadsheets That that mantra exists here We're slowly changing that. I think we do a better job than a lot of industries and and other groups that i've seen At corralling that at changing that culture and focus focusing people on actually being us data. We've got a ways to go but in the two and a half years since i've been here I think we've made some some great strides in the way. We're starting to us and think about data. Yeah that's really interesting because it's a little surprising. Only twenty seven of the fifty states have a chief data officer gets formally defined although it actually see officer role itself is fairly new so maybe not totally surprising. I'm wondering what percentage of fortune one thousand companies. I'm hoping it's much higher percentage but also people may not be aware that you know. North dakota has a pretty deep technology bench. I mean you have a governor there who who basically joined great plains and road that company gigantically and became chairman of the board last seen and lots of other companies. That's a pretty fairly interesting technology bench. And i think that's really really neat That we have technology roles that are that understand the role of technology and understand the nuances of data And i think that's fantastic and you actually shared some of those insights at an ai in government event that we ran last month december twenty twenty. Which is available if you go to a i in government dot com and you look for the past Episodes if you will the past sessions december We had a great panel of chief. Data officers of which doorman was part and he shared. You shared some really interesting insights into With your experiences as a chief data officer for the state of north dakota so for those maybe on the podcast that we want to encourage them to watch that that full panel or maybe provide a little bit of insight. You know maybe you could share some of those things that you shared with us if you can remember some of those great things about the experiences of of being. Ceo at the state.

Douglas which is now boeing corporation. So did that for it. But but then after a while <hes>. Got got involved in consulting and worked my way up through the <hes>. Consulting ranked says developer and they as a project manager is the data architect the solution architect and then finally got into a position of driving business intelligence and analytics for a couple of large international consulting firms where ran their north america. Big data and the i practice <hes>. And the great ride. A thoroughly enjoyed all of the things we did. I think we added a lot of value to <hes>. Our customers which <hes> was private industry <hes>. And had great teams <hes>. Had a strong onshore team strong offshore kimes and delivered a lot of value. But i think two years ago <hes>. Over two years ago. When i applied for this position as the chief data officer <hes>. At first i really didn't want position <hes>. Didn't like the idea of state government state government <hes> has has a bad connotation <hes>. Of kind of a nine to five job <hes>. And a people people who just weren't really motivated to <hes>. To move the world change the world and my boss who i interviewed my off. Now the cio. Sean reilly <hes>. Who i interviewed with his his final comment to me was well. I can't pay what you make today. But are you wanna paycheck or do want to change the world. And i had never thought about life that way. Never tried to change the world and <hes>. So i decided to take on this opportunity <hes>. This was the first chief data officer position for the state of north dakota so there were a lot of unknowns <hes>. Certainly certainly my presence <hes>. Was a bit chaotic for the organization. Because i came in with a completely different agenda and completely different way of looking at the world through the eyes of the pillars that <hes> are assigned a line to me which application development and automation. And the second pillar is data analytics data science artificial intelligence and had some very different opinions about those things. And how we might move those forward <hes>. So as i became involved with this role <hes>. i became an. I had made an assumption that every state had a chief data officer come to find out there are only twenty seven of us out of fifty states <hes>. So it's it's an interesting <hes>. It's an interesting mix of of individuals who are chief data officers and getting to know them is. It has been a really amazing opportunity because they have such a very backgrounds and they bring such such different perspectives to cheap date officer role <hes>. I like to joke and tell people that the last thing i focus on data which is obviously not true but but my real focus is really around <hes> cultural change within the city physician and what that means in the context of not not necessarily data. Because i have to executives are on my team who <hes>. Are just are just brilliant at running the operations and managing the two pillars within my organization.
