ll did you give me any evidence of the scary part? The scary part is he gives you exactly what the middle of America wants and most people agree. Oh that's scary. But on the plus side I do give CNN credit because they put Scott Jennings on the air every day it seems like, or five days a week. And they allowed this strategist to say some things about Trump getting it right. And they do have other…
← Previous segment →pply for it. So I don't know. Seems like that should be on the chopping block.
We just found out that the California Department of Finance revealed that California taxpayers are spending 9.5 billion to provide health care to illegal aliens. That's just the health care. That would be a third of our deficit spending just for the health care. If you added the other expenses pretty much the entire economic problem of California, which is pretty bad, is from immigration. I think it's going to be two-thirds of it and the rest is just poor management. So yeah we're a mess. It's just I don't know how history is ever going to deal with this. The fact that California and other places, we opened our borders. We invited unlimited people to come in to take our money. Who invites unlimited people in to take your money? Well people who are not giving away their own money. It's people who are giving away other people's money. You wouldn't invite people to give in your own money. So as long as you can make some money by having other people give away their money I guess it's going to happen. So that's pretty bad.
In other news, and part of the news is that this is in the news so the news is that it's news, instead of a secret apparently there's a massive shipment of 2,000-pound bombs from the US to Israel. Now why would Israel suddenly need a massive shipment of gigantic bombs? And these are ones that had been prevented. I guess Biden had not allowed these. So Trump is allowing gigantic shipments of very large bombs. The Times of Israel is reporting. Now the reason I say the story is that it's a story is, is this the sort of thing we would normally be aware of or is this negotiating with Hamas? Hey Hamas, you know when we said that if you don't release all of the hostages that there would be hell to pay? Well they know what hell looks like now I assume. But I don't know that these are specifically for crushing tunnels because there's not much left. You wouldn't need these bombs for blowing up buildings in Gaza because they're all already blown up. The only thing left is all the tunnels. I mean I might be exaggerating a little but basically it's the tunnels. So is this a done deal that these are going to be used to clean out the tunnels or is this part of the negotiating? Because at the same time I guess Saudi Arabia's got some Arab countries getting together to figure out what to do. And they're trying to figure out how to deal with Hamas but also rebuild Gaza which doesn't look very possible. But the Trump effect is interesting because he's making other countries step up. So Saudi is really stepping up. They're hosting the people who make the most difference over there to have some serious conversations about how they can be the solution. I don't know what they're going to come up with but it probably helps. It probably helps negotiating with Hamas to know that Israel has already brought in the weapons of their complete destruction. So I feel like Hamas is never going to deal or negotiate not in any serious way. So I feel like the next step will be massive bombs taken out tunnels and then we'll probably keep negotiating. We'll take out a few tunnels and they'll say now do you want to quit and release the hostages? Nope. All right here's another tunnel. Boom. Will that result in the death of some of the hostages? It could. Yeah it could.
Trump causes some trouble by posting I guess the other day. He said this quote from Napoleon: "He who saves his country does not violate any law." So that's Napoleon. And then what do you think people said about that? Now the context apparently is that these executive orders are for the benefit of the country so there shouldn't be these courts calling them illegal because if he's saving the country that can't be illegal. But of course it can be illegal. And it caused somebody like Adam Schiff of course to say that it was spoken like a true dictator. So why does he do this? Why would Trump, whose biggest problem is that he's being accused of being like a dictator, why would he quote a dictator and embrace the dictator's philosophy in public? What would be the reason for that? Now if it's the usual reason it's just to distract the bad guys so they'll talk about that instead of talking about some way to actually defeat him. So it could be a distraction. It could be just for fun. I don't know. I don't think I would have done it but we'll see how that turns out. I wouldn't have advised it.
Meanwhile ChatGPT-4 is out and Sam Altman says it does lots of great things but it's also the best search engine. It's the best search engine out there. And so I said to myself, huh. Now that we know what USAID is, that according to Mike Benz it's basically just a front for CIA activity and that all of those things we think are foreign aid are really just mechanisms to build resources and get our agents in and get influence over another country no matter what the charity is called. It's really only for that one purpose. Now that's what I believe is true. But here's what ChatGPT-4, which Sam Altman says is one of the best or the best search engine I guess — I think he says the best — I asked it, "Is USAID mostly a front for the CIA?" Because if it's a good search engine it's going to get the right answer which I already know because Mike Benz has taught us this. And here's what ChatGPT said: "While USAID itself is not a CIA front there is a documented history of its programs being exploited for intelligence and covert operations and this has led to skepticism." Now it gave examples that during the Cold War there were several examples where USAID was in fact a cover for some CIA activity. But ChatGPT is acting like that stopped a long time ago. Oh yeah there were a few notable exceptions in the news but that was way back. Oh but the thing is we only find out about these things 40 years after they happen. And then it said yeah so that was his answer. Nope it's not a front for the CIA.
Meanwhile Elon Musk, the reason he's gone quiet today — allegedly quiet, we'll see if he can last — is that he's working on the next release of Grok 3 which he had claimed will be the most powerful AI in the world. So apparently it's trained faster, better, more completely than anything else and he's going to be honing the product all weekend. So it should be released tomorrow at 8 p.m. Pacific time. So we'll get a whole new AI.
You know that case of the whistleblower who was found dead and it was

very suspicious circumstances and it was ruled a suicide but didn't have the tells of a suicide. It looked very much like he got murdered according to evidence on his body etc. And the family hired a private pathologist that said that the gunshot and injuries are inconsistent with suicide. And I guess the police ignored that and they just closed the investigation saying there is insufficient evide…
