against Trump while he visits. And one of those person-on-the-street interviewers was asking the anti-Trumpers what is it that he said that would make him racist?

Now the funniest one was there was a guy carrying a sign that said Trump is racist. That's all it said, just Trump is racist or some version of that, but it was just racism. And the interviewer says, "All right, can you give me an example of the racism?" "Well, uh," and then he actually said this, "Well, it's really more about sexism." And then the interviewer says, "Your sign literally says racism." "Well yeah, it was more about sexism."

So that's cognitive dissonance. That is people realizing that they have no examples to back up their point. Now it's hard to come up with an example when you're protesting and come up with an exact quote or something. But I would argue that if you can't do that, if you can't come up with an example anytime anybody asks, it's not real. I mean it's not real. It's literally mass hysteria. And to imagine that they have reasons and stuff like that. No, they don't. They don't have reasons. They have been brainwashed by non-stop media brainwashing. And they do not know how to support their own opinions. That's how you know. That's how you know it's brainwashing.

Apparently the US sank three Venezuelan drug boats. I guess two were reported and had video, but Trump says there was a third one. So maybe there was a third one. I don't know. But three down.

Somebody said that if you keep taking out the boats, there's going to be a point where the harbor or wherever they're storing them is going to have an extra large amount of fentanyl because they can't ship it. So they might just hold it in a holding place until they think that it's safer to ship it. Which would mean if you knew where that holding place was and you dropped a bomb on it, you might get like 70% of the fentanyl because it's all just concentrated. I saw somebody suggest that. I don't know if that's a workable thing or not.

Two UK regions are going to try chemical castration for sex offenders according to the Express. So that would be drugs that remove your sex drive.

Now you might say to yourself that is so terrible that it would be cruel and unusual punishment. However, I happen to be chemically castrated right now. Most of you know that because I'm treating a prostate cancer that metastasized. Now the good news is that the testosterone blockers that I'm taking really work well. So I've reversed all my symptoms and PSA dropped like a rock. And at the moment I'm feeling pretty good. So it works.

But the thing that you imagine when you think "Oh my god, I can't be castrated." And they even call the drugs that, you know, castration drugs because you think it would be so terrible. Well it would be terrible if you had not started a family and you wanted to or you wanted a girlfriend and you didn't have one or you had one. It would be bad for a lot of reasons.

But if you were a sex offender, there would be part of you that would say "God, what can I do to never have this problem again?" And I would tell you from my own experience, it's not as bad as you think. Because once you don't have desires for sex, you don't miss it. You just think of other things. And it really clears my mind quite a bit. So you imagine it would be the worst thing in the world for a man. Probably not. Probably not.

Denmark is going to put a large investment in Greenland's infrastructure. Two hundred and fifty million. Now 250 million is a pretty big deal in Greenland because it's such a small population, but do you think that would have happened if Trump had not been making noise about taking over Greenland? Not a chance. I don't think so. So I think that Trump gets a win on that.

Ben and Jerry's co-founder, one of them, Jerry Greenfield, he quit. I didn't even know he was still working there, but he quit because the new corporate owners or the more recent corporate owners, Unilever, disagreed with him about his messaging about Gaza. So even the Ben & Jerry guy got sort of semi self-canceled. He wanted his freedom back and he didn't want to be limited to say what he wanted to say about Gaza. So that happened.

Here's a cool new technology that Japan's working on. Osmotic power plants. You know, once you think you've heard every way to generate electricity. Here's one. Apparently this has been known for a long time. It's just hard to make it practical. But they seem to be getting close.

Apparently if you mix fresh water and salt water on opposite sides of some kind of barrier that something happens that as the waters try to equalize or something and it can turn a turbine and create electricity.

But it gets cooler than that. If you had a desalination plant, so if you had a desalination plant that was taking the salt out of the seawater, you would end up with tremendous amount of salt brine which you wouldn't know what to do with it. But apparently you can use the salt brine to really goose how much energy you get when you've got clean water on one side and salt brine on the other. So it might be that desalination plants might create their own energy. How cool is that? That you wouldn't need any extra energy because the big problem with desalination is that it takes too much energy. So it's not economical. But what if the salt is the very thing that's powering it? Boom. Maybe.

You remember Putin critic Navalny who dropped dead in jail and Putin said, "Yeah, he just fell sick. He just sort of fell over that day." Well somehow some samples of his body were smuggled out and tested to see if it had any poison in it and surprise, it was full of poison. So yeah, he just got poisoned and killed in jail. It was exactly what it looked like.

Anyway, you're probably aware that some number of people are calling the Gaza situation a genocide. I don't believe I've ever used that word for Gaza. Have I? If I did, it was in a very limited sense or talking about it or something.

But let me give you my full opinion so you don't have to wonder. I don't like using the word genocide in that context because it's trying to win the debate by making somebody agree to your definition. So if you can browbeat somebody into saying "Okay, well yeah, it's a genocide" then you have taken away from them their ability to defend it. Because who defends a genocide, right? That'd be crazy. No, nobody wants to go on record. Nobody wants to be quoted saying "Well it's a genocide but I kind of like it anyway." Right? There's no quote you can put around genocide that makes you not look like the worst person in the world.

So challenge accepted. Here's my take. And now you know why I've never said it out loud. It's definitely a genocide, but it's one that they don't have a choice. Because if they don't do a genocide, in this case it doesn't mean killing every person. It means putting pressure on the population, hard pressure, to get them to move. That's clearly what's happening. They're clearly pressuring people to get them to leave. So I believe that that would hit the technical definition of a genocide.

But what is unique about this situation that unlike Germany being in a war, unlike Japan being in a war, unlike Vietnam being in a war, almost any other situation, if you stopped fighting you might have a good chance for a real lasting peace. But there's no chance of that in Gaza. There's 100% chance that if they don't totally depopulate Gaza and completely eliminate Hamas, there's a 100% chance that they will reconstitute and do another October 7th or better, completely destroy Israel with whatever tools they have to do that.

So if you're Israel and you know that your only chance, if you can speak honestly, your only chance for the long run to have any kind of a stable situation is to do something that other people will call a genocide. But I'm going to call it a genocide with an asterisk. Meaning that there's not another choice. Meaning that if it were us you would probably be promoting the genocide because the alternative is a genocide against your side. It's either genocide or genocide.

So that's the way I see it. If the Hamas leaders reconstitute and got enough power, you don't think they would genocide Israel? Of course they would. It's their entire mission in life.

So I'm going to try to avoid the word because I think it ruins the conversation. The real conversation is what would happen if you didn't do what you're doing for Israel. And the answer is they would have to take the risk, which would be, it's not even a risk, it's 100% that they'd come back someday. So they really just have to remove them from any possibility of threat.

Now I will remind anybody who's new to my discussion of Israel, I do not support Israel. Let me say as clearly as possible. I don't support Israel. It's not my country. Not my country. I support America. I wish them well, but I wish everybody over there well. I don't know how everybody's going to be well, but I wish.

And the best I can do because I feel like people make the mistake of entering a moral or ethical frame when they talk about it. So people will act like "Oh it's so terrible." Of course it's terrible. It's like beyond almost beyond imagination terrible. But there's nothing I'm going to do about it. You know, Israel is pursuing its own self-interest, their national interest, and that's what everybody should be doing. Every country does that. It's not up to the other countries. It's up to the country doing it.

So the way to think of my approach to Israel is observation and prediction. That's it. I'm not approving of other people's actions and I don't disapprove of them. But I might say is that going to help you or hurt you in the long run? And I'm not sur
