to give you a solid opinion. They have to go to court. Now, if the court decides that they're not guilty, I will accept that. But this has to go to court. That there's no way that the country can heal or that history will even understand what happened unless we take this through the court system. So I think that every one of these people that have been mentioned, they need to be dragged through th…

If it turns out that no matter what you do to the model, it still predicts roughly the same thing, that would also tell you the models are fake. The glaring signals that the climate models are going to be next on the chopping block. Like it'll be the next thing that just blows your freaking mind when you find out what the whistleblowers say about their own climate models. And that's coming. That is so coming. I don't know when. Might not be this year or next year, but it's definitely coming. And wait till you find out about climate models.
Well, Nvidia, who makes those high-end AI chips, had been restricting the type of chip that they were sold to China. And they had this special chip called the H20 that was good enough to do AI, but not as good as the American stuff. So America could continue to have its advantage in the technology. However, 20 national security experts have suggested that that H20 chip is a little bit too good and that we're putting ourselves in a dangerous situation in allowing China to have access to it. I don't know, but people don't agree on how much technology China should have.
Canada has announced it's going to back a Palestinian state and Trump says it will be very hard for us to make a trade deal with Canada now that they're backing a Palestinian state which Israel doesn't back and the US doesn't back at the moment. To which I say, why would I, as an American, care what Canada says about the Middle East? And would I be willing to have a worse trade deal, one that maybe increases my inflation to force Canada to have a different opinion about the Palestinian situation? I don't feel like that's the right place to apply the tariff paddle. I feel like Canada can have whatever opinion they want. Why in the world can't they have an opinion about a part of the world that we don't even live in? I do appreciate and I'm impressed by Trump's ability to create this little weapon, the tariff, and then use it to get better trade deals and decrease fentanyl maybe and a bunch of other stuff. But are we really policing the free speech of Canadians? Don't you think that the people of Canada should be able to say whatever they want about whatever they want? Why are we tamping down on their free speech? I don't know. I don't love that.
There's a report that Trump said something privately to some Jewish donor and so who knows if it's true. Generally speaking, the least credible stories are somebody heard somebody said something to somebody privately. Those are almost never real, but it's in the news, so I'll tell you about it. So apparently the report is that Trump told a Jewish donor that quote, "My supporters are starting to hate Israel." Now, of course, there probably was a whole bunch of context to that, but I went to Grok to see if there had been a change, and sure enough, according to polls, hate is too strong a word, but Trump always speaks in hyperbole. There is a big difference. So since October 7th the support for Israel initially was high because they'd been attacked but now has reached a new low. So it's nowhere near hating Israel. So that would be going too far. But yeah, support for Israel probably pretty low even among Republicans. Now when I say pretty low, I mean pretty low compared to what it was. It's not low low. It's just going down. So let me be clear. It's going down. It's not that low.
And Trump has said in a Truth Social post that the fastest way to end the Gaza crisis is for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages. Now, that of course is what Israel's been saying for a long time. You know, that you got to do those things. But I do love Trump's framing of it. He should just repeat that sentence every time it comes up. Gaza crisis can be settled immediately if Hamas surrenders and releases the hostages. That's it. Just say that over and over again because the debate acts like Israel has the option of just putting Hamas back in charge and then going on with their day. I don't feel like they think that's an option. I feel like they think that Hamas has to be 100% gone and all of the hostages have to be released or there's just nothing you can do. You just got to make that happen.
So I remind you that I'm not pro or anti-Israel. It's not my country. I'm simply observing and anything that I think they should do is irrelevant. Anything that I think is more or less ethical or moral, irrelevant. It's not my country. I just observe that all countries do what seems to be good for their country and Israel is doing a really good job of that. However, it does seem to me that things keep going in the direction they're going that Israel will have spent their Holocaust premium. What I mean by that is the narrative of the Holocaust gives Israel some superpowers because when that's in your mind, you automatically will side with them when they do something to defend their country because you don't want another Holocaust. Never again. So if you've completely internalized and accepted the Holocaust as the way to understand Israel, it's a real powerful weapon for persuasion. So once they bring up that Holocaust, it's impossible to be on the other side because it would be like you're doubting the Holocaust

or you're supporting another one or something. So it's really powerful that that narrative exists. However, my observation is that that goodwill or that power that they get from that historical narrative is being used spent to get control of Gaza. Now that might be a good expense if they can somehow get rid of all the bad elements in the Palestinian population and they don't create a second state…
