S in that way you would want them to be part of FARA. But I don't see how it would make any difference. What difference would it make if they registered to be a FARA entity? Isn't that just paperwork? Wouldn't they do exactly the same things they're doing? I don't know how that makes a difference. Somebody will tell me. And then Tucker said he doesn't like dual citizenship but not limited to Isra…
← Previous segment →What you don't think Israel is pertinent to the US? Somebody in the comments is saying it's embarrassing that I can't find US-based stories to talk about. You don't think Israel is a US-based story? I think you're missing a lot. That's a US-based story. It's about as US-based as you can get.
Anyway so let's hope that's a lot of bad guys that got caught.
There's a startup called Arc. They've got a spaceship and their plan is to have their spaceships orbiting the earth so that they can deliver what you need within an hour to any place. Primarily for military stuff at first. I don't know what kind of stuff you would put in space just in case you needed it in a military sense but it's kind of an interesting idea. I don't know what their potential is on that but it's kind of interesting that they would use space as their delivery highway I guess.
All right. MIT has developed a better concrete battery. So I guess they can mix some carbon cement supercapacitor stuff into your concrete and you could store enough to take care of a house with one wall of concrete basically. So that would be cool. Imagine if every house could be built with a concrete basement and the concrete basement was a perpetual battery. Like it would never need to be changed and it would be enough of a battery for your whole house and presumably that would be a safe battery. I'm worried about these standard batteries that you put on the outside of your house 'cause sometimes they can catch on fire but I can't imagine concrete catching on fire even if it had some electrical qualities. Maybe I'm wrong but seems like this could have a lot of potential.
Taiwan has rejected the US proposal. CNBC is saying that we wanted Taiwan to make 50% of their chips in the US and they said no way. So this is part of the tariff negotiations I guess. But the idea was that we would be safer in terms of our chip supply if at least some of them remain in the United States. But Taiwan says no way. And my question is what leverage does Taiwan have? Doesn't Taiwan need the US military to protect them? Can they really say no to we want you to make 50% of it in the US? You know not right away but that would be the plan. I don't know. Pretty gutsy of Taiwan to negotiate but if Trump gets tough he will literally say I'm going to withdraw my military support. Now I don't think he can because w

e can't really risk losing those chips. So probably we can't do that in reality but he could certainly threaten it and that should send them into a tizzy. Trump is floating the idea, Just the News is reporting, of doing rebate checks based on some but not all the tariff revenue coming in. He's thinking of a thousand to two thousand. I'm generally opposed to that because I think we should be payin…
