lways feel I don't have a good answer. Because on one hand I think you know maybe if I spent a lot of time with somebody I might be able to move him a little bit but I've never had that experience. I've never experienced changing anybody's mind like while I'm talking to him. I don't think words work. Words don't really talk anybody out of anything most of the time especially in politics when you'r…

d not only did they not see it they didn't even know there's a higher classification. What? What do you know? What that makes me think, I don't believe that we've captured any alien technology. I don't believe we have. But when I hear this I go huh. Suppose you had just hypothetically suppose you actually had an alien spacecraft with alien technology. Who would you want to show it to to see if there's any possibility of reverse engineering it right? There's one person in the world you would be most interested in showing it to to see if he could reverse engineer and it's Elon Musk. So immediately when I hear that he has extra top secret clearances beyond clearances that ordinary people can't even have it's not about the Kennedy assassination right? It's not about I know just some normal secrets. It's not about oh the CIA is doing this. That would be normal clearance to have. Special extra deluxe clearance that's got to be some good stuff. We don't know what that domain is but given that he's the space and technology guy maybe they have a ship. I don't think they do. I think we have zero spaceships but wow this made me wonder. I had to question myself a little bit. I'm going to stick with it. We don't have one anyway.

According to the UAE ZeroHedge reporting this, the UAE ambassador says the Arab world has no alternative to Trump's Gaza plan. That's the plan where the United States takes control of Gaza but Israel and other countries rebuild it. Which is pretty surprising because you'd expect that the Arabs would come up with a plan that was also practical to compete. Apparently not. And the UAE ambassador says directly that removing all the Palestinians and then rebuilding it is probably the only thing that would work. That's what I think. He said it's difficult but inevitable that the Trump plan of removing all the Palestinians and rebuilding is the only way anything could go. Now that's exactly my opinion. It's been exactly my opinion from the start. There is one and only one way this can go. They're going to clear all the people out of Gaza. Now can you confirm that I've been saying this the whole time? Am I imagining that I've been saying the whole time the one and only way this will end is with all of Gaza being depopulated? I want to see if I really said that loudly and clearly enough that anybody heard it. All right just confirmed. Okay so some of you heard me say that. Well so again if you're looking for who predicts well this was a pretty shocking prediction because remember I predicted that it would be depopulated and rebuilt and that the Palestinians may not even be allowed back in long before anybody even suggested that was a possibility. So that's a win for me on that one.

Now I know for some of you it drives you crazy when it looks lik

e I'm bragging about what I got right but remember I make predictions. So if I don't tell you I got one right you're losing half of the value. You should know when I get one right and what domain it is because maybe that's a domain I can guess better than other domains. There are some domains I can't guess. For example I can never predict who anybody's going to pick for a vice president. I have no…
