ong that even though it's more of a Jewish thing that it's still enough of a Christian thing that as long as it's a sincere religious action then it's laudable you know you would actually say I like that I like that that our leaders are religious and taking that stuff seriously. And I also like that the US is respecting Israel in that way.

All right, here's my problem. If you look at this from a persuasion perspective, it is a plus. A plus. If you can get somebody to do that on camera, put on the little Jewish hat and touch the wall and act like it's magic, you know, as religion works. You have turned somebody into your, because that is such powerful persuasion that you will not know it, but you will be bonded to the Israel experience in a way that is not illegal. It's not even immoral or unethical. It's perfectly allowed, but it's really powerful. I object not because it's immoral, unethical, none of those reasons. It's not illegal, nothing like that. It just works too well. And when I see Marco Rubio go over there and basically look like Netanyahu's, I don't say to myself, oh no, this is just ceremonial and it has nothing to do with the work, you know, he's just showing respect. No, I look at a guy who's been hypnotized essentially. So to allow yourself to go into that situation, it's just a terrible look. Terrible look. But from Israel's point of view, brilliant. It's good for their self-interest. It's good for bonding with the United States. It's genius really. I mean, it's just really strong persuasion. A plus. But for us, I would say if you're going to do it, don't do it on camera. That's probably impossible. But I would have no problem if they did it privately. But you put that on camera and it just looks like our people bowing to Netanyahu. Not cool. Absolutely not cool with me.

All right. But all legal, all ethical, all moral, you know, none of the standard complaints. It's just better for Israel than it is for us. So from an American self-interest perspective, I hate it. And I would encourage nobody to ever do that again. All right. Except privately. Privately is fine. You know, if it's something you wanted to do because it is a historical site. I can imagine a lot of people wanting to experience that, just don't put it on camera.

Russia's getting provocative and doing a bunch of war games near the border of the NATO countries. They're testing drones and they might be testing some defenses. And I don't know if that's preparation for something to come or they're just rattling their swords for effect. We'll see.

Apparently meanwhile Ukraine has continued to attack Russia's energy facilities. So they just torched the Russian Kirishi refinery and they took out a chemical plant a thousand miles inside Russia and they got an oil supply line. So it does seem that Ukraine is going hard at taking out the energy infrastructure in Russia. And it seems to me that the people trying to take something out usually have a big advantage over the people trying to protect them, especially since they're spread out all over the place and the drone weapons are hard to stop in the first place. Unless you had serious national defense basically everywhere. So that would be hard to stop. So we'll see what happens there.

Meanwhile, the Sinaloa cartel worldwide operations. NewsNation is acting like the US is taking a big step toward dismantling the entire Sinaloa cartel. Now I told you that there was this major seven foreign region operation in which 617 Sinaloa cartel got arrested in various countries but apparently there are tens of thousands of them in 40 countries. 617 people not even a drop in the bucket. But and then there's some reporting by NewsNation that the US is working with Mexico to do this. I don't believe that. Do you believe that Mexico is cooperating against the cartels? The only way it makes sense is if their government is in the pocket of a different cartel and the only thing they're doing is getting rid of the competition for the one that's their cartel. That's the only way I can understand what's happening. Otherwise, I would assume Mexico is not helping at all, and we're just pretending they are.

And then apparently a bunch of stealth jets have been delivered now to Puerto Rico. Meaning that there are jets, but they're based in Puerto Rico. And that would be getting ready to put some pressure on Venezuela in ways that we don't quite know. But that's a lot of firepower for that part of the world. So I presume that's partly to scare Venezuela and partly because there's good chance they're going to use them and they're really good ones.
