I don't know how much of the deficit per year is in the over a trillion dollar range. Is it like 1.3 trillion somewhere in that range? And how much do we give to Ukraine every year? A few hundred billion? Do we spend a few hundred billion per year? So maybe 15% of our deficit something like that. And then of course we have to build up our own military because we're sending our bullets over there s…
← Previous segment →em is caused by that but it's not making it better anyway.
There's now jets that are going to be able to do automatic takeoffs and landings according to CNN. And if you didn't know this and this is weird, the more advanced planes could already land in bad weather and stuff on instruments. Well it could land autonomously. So even if the pilot dropped dead the advanced planes could just land and the landing some say the machine would do it better than the pilot. Pilot can make a human error. The machine's much less likely. But what I didn't know is that the planes were not equipped to take off autonomously which seems weird. It seems like taking off would be easier than landing but taking off is actually harder I mean where it can be. So it's actually a big deal that airplanes are learning to take off on their own at the same time that robotaxis are coming on. So the idea of having a human sitting behind a steering wheel for anything it will be largely defunct except for recreational stuff like I don't know maybe your fishing boat or something anyway.
And that ladies and gentlemen is all I wanted to say that's worth saying today. We'll keep an eye on whatever is happening with Hezbollah and Israel but as I've said before if Israel's going to get tough with its enemies and neighbors there's never been a better time in history to do it. Because first of all it seems like they have a good handle on the military strategy obviously but also there's no leadership in the United States. So if they can get themselves a little bit pregnant you know make sure that they're well into a war against Hezbollah or Iran or whoever they decide to go to war with, if they do it now Trump won't be able to stop them because he's not president and Biden's barely a president and Harris is out on the road. So if you were going to make a big move and you're Israel it's going to happen now. So I would expect maximum chaos.
But there's also a possibility that Israel will have a surprisingly fast and good result in Lebanon because a lot of the Lebanese I'm hearing are not so pro-Hezbollah. So if Israel could find a way to be accurate enough to take out Hezbollah without killing much in the way of innocent Lebanese people who don't like Hezbollah either they might be able to find a workable situation there maybe. Imagine how different that would be if Lebanon were no longer an enemy of Israel or at least parts of it. So Hezbollah being bad actors and Hamas being bad actors maybe something can change. We'll see.
All right ladies and gentlemen that's all I have for you. I'm going to talk to the local subscribers privately because of their awesomeness but I'll see the rest of you on YouTube and Rumble and X tomorrow same time same place. Bye for now.
We've got 30 seconds to sip.
