tic policy. Turns out that Hungary, according to Grok, their tax rate is 15% for just everything, income, investments, just 15%. So it's a lot easier to go from 15 down to zero for a special class of people, mothers, who are adding to the economy. That's a lot easier than going from rich people paying 50% to well, we'll let you get away with none. How about none? You just have an extra kid. Do you know how fast I would have three children if it meant I paid no taxes? It would take me nine months. If I could pay no taxes in the United States, because remember, I pay half of my income in taxes, if I could take that to zero, I could find three women. Wait, no, it wouldn't work with three women. You'd have to have one woman with three babies. Okay. It would take me 27 months plus a little recovery time. But yeah, I would have three kids I didn't plan on having to save a gigantic amount of money. Yeah, as long as I didn't have to be too active in the raising of them. I'm not good at that. And I won't last long, but you know, lots of reasons.

All right. I know I'm going super long. Do you mind? I can go a little bit longer. Okay. I'm having so much fun today. You don't have to listen to it all.

All right. There was some rumors about Charlie Kirk sending some text messages that were kind of negative on his view of how much bullying he was getting from pro-Israel sources. Some people didn't think that was necessarily a real text and might have been fake, but apparently that's been confirmed that it's real. So one of the TPUSA guys I think confirmed it. So Candace Owens had it and here's what the message said. So Charlie Kirk said in a message, I think it was a group message. Just lost another huge Jewish donor, 2 million a year because we won't cancel Tucker for the TPUSA event. And then he says, I'm thinking of inviting Candace. Now those are connected thoughts because both Tucker and Candace are accused of being anti-Israel. So if he got if he lost $2 million because he won't cancel Tucker, it looks like he was going to double down and invite Candace. Sort of a big FU to the people bullying him. So then one some other member didn't like that I guess. And then Charlie went on to explain Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. Okay, that's probably something you don't want to say in public. And then it says, I cannot and will not be bullied like this.

Now let me explain. He's not saying all Jewish people are like the stereotypes. He's saying that the Jewish donors, the ones he's dealing with, are acting like the worst stereotypes. I probably wouldn't have said that. That feels like a little unnecessarily provocative, but also probably completely accurate, meaning that he dealt with these donors. I didn't. I have no reason to think he's a liar. So if he says my honest reaction to this is why are you acting like the worst stereotypes and I'm out. Seems fair. And then he says quote leaving me no choice but to leave the pro-Israel cause. Wow.

So now the accusations which I do not believe. Let me say up front and then I'll say it one more time when I'm done. I don't think Israel put a hit on Charlie Kirk. I do not think there's any chance that Israel put a hit on Charlie Kirk. There was a reason. They had a good reason because if Charlie Kirk turned against Israel, he did have enough clout in the United States and the United States is vital. I believe Israel would say to their survival, they would feel an existential threat by the fact that he said directly, I'm going to leave the pro-Israel cause. Did Israel have an incentive to murder him? Yes. Yes. Let me say it again. I do not believe Israel had anything to do with killing him. Here's why. The bigger existential threat would be caught doing it. And we always catch everybody. We're in a world where you kind of do catch everybody if you care enough. Do you think that Netanyahu, as smart as he is strategically, and even if you hate him, even if you think he's a monster, he is a genius? Like actual like the literal kind of genius, strategically genius. Again, I don't agree with everything he does. That's not the point. But do you think somebody as smart as Netanyahu would take any chance of permanently ruining the US as an ally? And I think the chance would be at the very least 25%. Like even if Mossad came to him and said, "Look, we got a plan to take out this critic and it's really important to Israel that we do take him out, but I think we can get the risk down to 25% of getting caught." You think he'd take that? Nope. Nope. Not a smart person. No smart person in the world would take that. And especially let's add to the fact that they knew each other. They knew each other. How hard is it to do a hit on somebody you know personally? That's got to be pretty hard. I mean, you have to be pretty cold to do that. I'm sure leaders do it, but it's pretty tough. So if you look at it from the point of view that Netanyahu is not a there's no chance that he would have green lit this and there's no chance that Mossad would have done it on their own. So I'm going to say again, there's no chance, in my opinion, that Israel was involved in a hit on a beloved American person who if they got caught, even one or two percent chance of getting caught, is the end of Israel. I mean, that wouldn't just be a hard week. I mean, that could very well be the end of Israel. If they pissed us off that much and got caught, I mean, it's not like we don't have contentious things and they spy on us. I'm sure we spy on them. They try to bully us. We try to bully them back. I mean, that all that stuff seems more like normal countries pursuing what's good for their country. I don't hate all of that. It's more like the give and take you expect. But if they had, if they had, and they didn't, in my opinion, they didn't. But if they had, biggest mistake Israel would have ever made in its entire history, bar none. So no, I don't think they would do that.

Well, and finally, an update on the what I call the robot energy war. You call it the Ukraine Russia war, but it's really now robots fighting energy resources. And allegedly, now this is according to Pravda, so we can't automatically trust it, but they say that a Ukrainian drone hit a cooling tower, a nuclear power plant cooling tower in the city of Zaporizhzhia. I think I nailed it. Zaporizhzhia. So it put a hole in the cooling tower, but we don't see any bad stuff escaping yet, but it might. Do you think that Ukraine
