00:24:44.240So Trump is going to sign some new executive orders that would turbocharge, as they say, the nuclear energy programs in the United States.
00:24:59.260But I didn't realize that one part of it is that, well, we don't know that this will happen, but there's one draft that he hasn't signed yet.
00:25:34.600So I don't know that you could just tell them to accept more things.
00:25:39.440You might have to just get rid of them all and replace them with people who are maybe more up to date on the real risk and reward of nuclear.
00:25:49.180But he's looking to go from 100 to 400 gigawatts by 2050, which would be fairly gigantic.
00:25:57.240So I would say that the biggest war in the world is the war to get the most energy.
00:26:13.800Trump is telling us again, I love Trump the salesman, but you have to understand him as a salesman.
00:26:21.860If you don't understand that he's always selling, then it just looks like he's lying.
00:26:28.540But if you understand him as, you know, the biggest cheerleader for the country and, you know, he's sort of using hyperbole and selling, then it all makes sense.
00:26:39.300But here's one of the things Trump says about trade deals that are upcoming.
00:26:44.660Quote, we had a wonderful deal yesterday.
00:27:14.140And it's probably actually close to true.
00:27:17.220But I love his sales take on all this stuff.
00:27:23.540Well, Columbia University, as you might know, had another one of those pro-Palestinian protests where people went in and they took over the main library.
00:27:33.640But now 65 students have been identified as being part of that protest.
00:27:41.520And from now on, they're banned from exams.
00:27:45.040And they're going to get booted off of campus, except I guess they can go to their dorm.
00:27:50.420But they can't hang out in the rest of the campus.
00:27:52.660So essentially, their college careers are over.
00:27:57.540And you could argue that they're unemployable.
00:28:13.920Imagine if your parents worked with you to get you into a good college, you finally got into Columbia, and then you attended a pro-Palestinian protest, and your entire life just got flushed out in the toilet.
00:28:38.100So I feel bad for the 65 students because their brains are not fully developed, and they're a little bit hypnotized and propagandized, et cetera.
00:28:48.620Now, it's not like they don't have a point that there's a lot of violence going on that they wish was not going on.
00:28:55.940But I don't think they've thought through the entire situation with too much understanding.
00:29:05.560Well, according to the post-millennial, Doge has deactivated over half a million federal credit cards that were unnecessary or, you know, I don't know if they're extra or what.
00:29:21.160But 500,000 seems like a lot, but there are 4.6 million government credit cards.
00:29:28.100So if they got the half a million that were maybe the fraud and abuse ones, that could be some good work.
00:29:40.020Well, Alberta, up there in Canada, is actually kind of serious about breaking away from Canada, which is different from wanting to join the United States.
00:29:53.440So they're not expressing a will to become part of the United States, but they are expressing a, let's say, a frustration with the rest of the Canadian government.
00:30:06.860Because in Alberta, they've got a lot of energy kind of industries.
00:30:12.560And so the Albertans want to make money and drill for oil and, you know, exploit their energy because they have it.
00:30:21.460And the rest of Canada, I think, wants to solve climate change.
00:31:39.800So he starts out being, you know, very insulting to China and dismissive of them and, you know, acting like he can punish them with tariffs.
00:31:50.300And, of course, China wouldn't even talk to us when we were just being jerks, meaning Trump was being a jerk.
00:31:59.560But they waited until they could, you know, find some way to get a respectful meeting.
00:32:08.180And so that's what's happening in Switzerland.
00:32:12.660But I like the fact that Trump was negging them.
00:32:15.280Yeah, he was using the trick that the men who try to seduce women use, where first you tear them down verbally, and then they just want to get your approval.
00:32:48.300From a persuasion perspective, since both China and the United States know, you know, we're going to have some kind of important relationship going forward, no matter what that looks like.
00:32:59.320So we know we're going to be in something.
00:33:01.380And I do think that if you insult China enough in that Trumpian way, that first they get mad, but they also want to solve it, because they don't want to live in a world where America can just say out loud, you guys are a bunch of thieves.
00:33:20.560So I do think that Trump creates a situation where China wants to have a good deal, and they want to take care of China first, of course.
00:33:31.960But at the same time, I think they have, you know, I think he put in the Chinese leadership a deep desire to have the United States say good things about them.
00:33:52.080Now, I'm not predicting that they get a good agreement or that it happens fast.
00:33:56.780What I am predicting is that Trump's insulting of them, which almost every smart person said is the worst thing he could have ever done, I think maybe was clever.
00:34:10.180I think maybe he knew what he was doing, because he does it with everybody.
00:34:14.860It's not like this is the one time he tried that trick.
00:34:35.180You know, and it's weird, shouldn't work away, but I think it is, because people are people, and they want their important relationships to think well of them, and we're part of their important relationships.
00:34:54.160Tom Cotton, Senator Cotton, has introduced a bill to have location tracking in our AI chips, so that we would know if any of our AI chips made it to where they shouldn't make it, such as China.
00:35:13.420It's just a bill that's been introduced.
00:35:15.020And I don't know how it works, technically.
00:35:21.540I guess the chip would somehow know where it is.
00:35:26.900Seems like it would be expensive to add GPS to each chip, but there must be something about it that allows you to know for sure where this chip is.
00:35:38.460I don't know how that works, technically.
00:35:40.620But if there is a way to do it technically, it feels like a good idea, because it couldn't be that much more expensive.
00:35:49.200You know, if it turns out it's super expensive to add that to it, that's another conversation.

00:36:46.640Anyway, he reports that the Indians are hacking the Pakistani entities like crazy, but it may not be the government.
00:36:58.940So the reporting is, and I'm not sure how much we can rely on this, but the reporting is that there are a bunch of Indian vigilante hackers who are sort of taking it on themselves to hack Pakistan in retaliation.
00:37:14.740And they've taken over, allegedly, they've taken down over 700 Pakistani websites, hacked 1,000 more or more of their CCTV cameras, and breached everything from military databases to power plants and banking systems.
00:38:03.360So the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Iran and the U.S., they remain divided on one issue.
00:38:11.700So the reporting is that, you know, great progress has been made, and, you know, the talks are on, and, you know, it seems like something's going to happen.
00:38:21.740But they're divided on one, but they're divided on one key question, which is that Iran wants to maintain the ability to enrich its own uranium, which means enrich it to the point where they can build a nuclear weapon in 10 minutes.
00:38:37.160And America wants them not to do that.
00:38:40.220So, if you don't solve that part, and it looks unsolvable to me, because Iran is kind of saying pretty clearly we want to build a nuclear weapon or have the ability to do it quickly, and that's the exact thing that we don't want.
00:38:59.960So how in the world are we close or making progress?
00:39:03.260I mean, you could talk all day about the other stuff, you know, sanctions and everything else, but this is the only thing that matters, whether or not they're going to keep enriching uranium to the point where they can weaponize it in 10 minutes.
00:39:21.460So I don't think there's any chance of an Iran nuclear deal.
00:39:25.740What would we threaten them with that we haven't already threatened, or even offer as an alternative?
00:39:36.180If they need this, like they're going to, they're basically betting their entire country on keeping the ability to enrich their own uranium to any level that they want.
00:39:49.160And to me, that doesn't look like a deal that's going to happen.
00:39:55.240But at the same time, we're hearing reports that Trump is mad at Bibi Netanyahu of Israel, and that the U.S. is doing its own, sort of its own negotiating and its own deal over in the Middle East, without Israel's consent and or participation.
00:40:14.820So is there any way that the U.S. could get a deal with Iran that Israel wouldn't like, but somehow the U.S. would like it?
00:40:27.320Not if we insist that they don't have the ability to enrich uranium.
00:40:33.400I just don't see any deal that's possible here.
00:40:36.220Well, President Putin has said he wants to meet and have direct conversations with Ukrainians.
00:40:46.800And at the same time, Zelensky has said he wants a 30-day, you know, ceasefire.
00:40:56.580Putin has rejected the 30-day ceasefire, but he's offered instead direct talks.
00:41:01.880And do you remember I said I didn't understand why Zelensky would be so tough and not want to, you know, immediately talk peace?
00:41:14.880And I speculated there were several possible reasons.
00:41:18.460You know, one is that he couldn't survive a peace.
00:41:22.000But the other one I speculated is that they had way better weapons than we knew about.
00:41:27.940Well, here's a shocking, shocking fact.
00:41:33.500According to Forbes, the Ukrainians have developed a whole, you know, underground, mostly, I guess, well, I don't know if they're underground,
00:41:45.100but a whole bunch of workshops where they can make drones.
00:41:50.340So all over Ukraine, there are smallish buildings where they're making drones like crazy.
00:41:59.200Guess how many drones Ukraine is able to make.
