ful. And it makes the entire Palestinian narrative look like it's not real.

Would you agree that the fact that these allegedly legitimate complaints are completely ignored while there seems to be a little bit too much understanding of why something like the Hamas situation could occur, maybe that's giving that a little bit too much credibility? And then I'll remind my audience that I'm not trying to be objective about the Israel and Gaza situation. So unlike some other topics where I'm really trying to make an effort to show both sides before I give you an opinion, I'm not going to do that in this case. Not at all. I'm backing the team that wouldn't kill me if they had a chance. Is that fair? I'm telling you this directly. The Jews aren't going to kill me if they had an opportunity, right? But Hamas, they would kill me if they had an opportunity. So it's not like there's two sides. There's my side: people who would even protect me. You know, it would be easy to imagine the Jewish population being protective of the American population if the opportunity came up easily. But I don't see Hamas protecting me if the opportunity came up. So I'm just taking sides with the group that's on my side. That's it. So don't ask me to consider the history. I don't care. I don't care about any of their history. I care about backing the side that's on my side. That's it.

All right, Vivek has an interesting idea for firing government employees because he wants to reduce the number of employees. He said this is really clever. So listen to this. So if I say the number one obstacle to stop Trump from firing the bureaucrats, you know, the civil service people, is because they had too much protection. So if you fired a bunch of civil servants you could expect that some gigantic number of them would file suits and say the only reason you got rid of me is 'cause I'm black or gay or whatever it is. And then even if it's not true, and maybe in some cases it would be true, but in any case you'd have too many lawsuits. So it just isn't practical. Here's Vivek's idea. Fire 50% of federal bureaucrats immediately using any neutral metric. For example, if your social security number ends in an odd number, you're fired. Because nobody can say that discrimination was involved because there's randomness to who has what social security numbers. Now is that a good idea or a bad idea? I actually can't tell. But here's what I like about it. It's outside the box. He just picked up the box and just shook the piss out of it. How much do I like the box shakers? Oh I like them. I like my box shakers. Yeah, shake that freaking box there, Vivek.

Now I put this in the category of brainstorming and the concept I've taught you a million times, which is sometimes the bad idea will get you closer to the good idea because it shakes up the way you're thinking about it. This is such a radic
