actual violence to you? Or is it just if you're used to that style of talking, it's just talking? I mean, there's a serious point he's making, which is he's being opposed to violence. Now, do you see Elon Musk saying the left is the party of murder? Is that encouraging violence or is that speaking out against violence? Because, you know, I live in this country. I speak English. I don't see it as encouraging violence. I see it as more of a warning that if we keep going this direction, you'll get more violence than you want. Everybody will, not one side. He's not saying that the violence will be in one direction although there might be some initiating thing going on there but no this is just talk and I've made this point before if you live in a different bubble the things that are just talk in the other bubble are a cult of violence in your bubble but it looks weird from the other bubble but that's not the only thing.

So not long after he said the left is a party of murder he said, "If they won't leave us in peace, then our choice is fight or die." Does that sound like a call to violence? If they won't leave us in peace, then our choice is to fight or die. Well, here again, it depends what bubble you're in. If you're in the left bubble and you're not accustomed to people routinely trotting out the phrase, give me liberty or give me death or you know I'd rather be dead than not have free speech. You might not know that the political right just sort of talks this way. They talk that way and I'll even put myself in that category for this topic. I talk that way and I don't apologize for it at all. You know, the country was founded on a certain amount of force and the entire idea was that we'd rather have liberty than life. So to me, when I hear somebody say, "If they won't leave us in peace, then our choice is fight or die." That's really just a statement of the obvious, right?

If somebody is going to continuously torture you in whatever way, doesn't matter the way. If there's somebody who's going to continually be your problem and you decide not to do anything about it, well, do you think you get more of it or less? You get more of it. If you don't do anything about it. So that's just a statement of the obvious. If you let people take advantage of you and walk all over you and treat you as a second-class citizen and you know maybe even in this case there was an assassination involved if you don't address it pretty aggressively are you going to get more of it or less of it? And is that a call to violence to point out the most obvious thing in the world? The things that are not punished you might get more of.

Well, Fischer King made an interesting comment about this. He said that on X. He said that Sam Harris is the gift that keeps on giving. Sort of what I was saying. You're going to get two weeks of content out of this. Here he is talking about the murder of Charlie Kirk and he says and he's talking about the same interaction between people on X and he says there's no party on the left that supports us. Blah blah blah blah blah. Oh Sam Harris says there's no party on the left that supports us. Well, of course a lot of Republicans would disagree with that statement. But rather than argue that, Fischer King points out that then he blames Trump and Elon for dousing the ground with gasoline to create circumstances where this could happen. Well, probably everybody's a little bit guilty of a little hyperbole. But what I'm introducing today is that the things that seem like hyperbole on the right don't seem like hyperbole to the people on the right. To them, it's just talking. And likewise, the people on the left, I suspect that if they just stay in their own little bubble, it doesn't look like they're doing a call to violence as much as it does if you're looking at what they're doing from your own bubble. So just be aware of that. There some of it is which bubble you're viewing it from. And I know it's fun to claim that the other side is worse and maybe they are, and but that doesn't buy you much.

But this whole thing was to get to this part where Elon Musk, you must have had enough of Sam Harris. And then he responds on X, Sam Harris took the fast train to dumb years ago. Never coming back. Never coming back. He took the fast train to dumb. Now Elon has like 230 million followers. Can you imagine being insulted by somebody who has 230 million followers? That's pretty fun.

All right. Apparently Trump and MBS, the crown prince who was in town yesterday, have signaled, but I don't think this is confirmed, that there might be some kind of breakthrough, a conditional breakthrough for a Saudi Israel deal, like a peace deal. I don't think we're quite there, but one of the things that the Saudis want is a two-state solution, and one of the things that Israel wants is not that. So is there any way that we could ever have a Saudi Israel deal if the two-state solution is somewhat off the table? I don't know. But would it m
