all with somebody takes down a satellite or somebody tries to knock out somebody's power plant and their moon base or something like that. But I feel like space war is just guaranteed just because of human nature.

So maybe and that ladies and gentlemen is all I needed to talk about today. I will tell you that people have been prodding me on X to say bad things about Israel. And people are saying to me Scott when have you ever said anything bad about Israel? And I'm going to remind you that what's the difference what my opinion is of Israel? Can anybody give me a reason why anybody would care about my opinion of Israel? It's not my country. It's not my country at all.

But what I will note and I've noted this before is that the people who seem to be debating it are debating it on the ethical and moral level. Like who's the most immoral? Who's doing the most unethical things? To which I say none of that is relevant. Somebody's opinion of what is moral or ethical I'm not even sure that's a variable that has anything to do with anything because countries do what's good for countries. And as soon as you get into people are dying it's it all looks immoral. It all looks unethical. And if you say to me but Israel had a good reason because of October 7th then I say to you sure if I were Israel I would make the same claim. It would be a strong claim. And I would use that opportunity to do the things that I wanted to do but couldn't do before which is improve security. And in this case it looks like trying to destroy Hamas completely.

And then I saw some people say all right imagine this thought experiment. If Israel decided to lay down all of its arms and not fight what would Hamas do? And then of course the answer is Hamas would kill everybody in Israel. And then the question would be but if Hamas laid down their arms what would be the response? And of course everybody says oh Israel would just accept the peace and then everybody would live in peace. So therefore Hamas is the bad one. But again that gets into the sort of ethical moral dimension which I don't have any interest in whatsoever.

What I see is a power play and whoever is in power is going to execute based on their national interest and what their power can get them. And so when I watch a country doing something that's clearly in their best interest which is what Israel is doing clearly they're operating in their own best interest it's hard for me to criticize that because if the situation were I won't say reversed but if the United States were in that same situation we would do whatever is good for the United States and it might be absolutely brutal and whoever's on the receiving end of it wouldn't like it at all. But I think the most I hate to say the most normal thing in the world is that the people with the power will pursue their national interest in ways that other people aren't going to like at all. And most countries are founded on the backs of somebody who got conquered anyway. That is the most normal thing.

So I was trying to think of some story or analogy that would explain it the best. And so I'm going to try one even though analogies are not part of reason. We'll see if this gets anywhere. If somebody said to me Scott the only way you could save your life is to kill a thousand babies. What do you choose? Well I'd like to think it's easy for me to say since it's hypothetical. I'd like to think I would say oh man I'd hate to die but I don't want to kill a thousand babies. That would be immoral and unethical. No I can't do that. I will sacrifice myself for the thousand babies. Wouldn't you? I think you'd agree with that right? I mean it would be tough to be in this situation but at least in an ideal situation I would choose the thousand babies over me.

Now let's modify that a little bit and somebody says Scott the only way you can save your entire country the United States every single person is going to die unless you kill a thousand babies. What do I do then?
