In fact, if you subscribe to the show notes, my morning piece, I want to spend a little bit of time.

So I've been wanting to articulate this for a little bit.

And, you know, I actually ran and ran this through Claude last night.

And then again, this morning before I hit publish.

And I wasn't sure because so I wrote a piece.

This is actually now kind of fascinated me.

I wrote a piece and then I put it into Claude, the AI chat thing that even the Defense Department uses and said, Claude, take all the stuff I've written and see if I've missed some points that I should add to this piece, but it's got to be less than 700 words. And here's the premise. And then I put the whole piece in and then said, hey, you should add these couple of things. And I was like, okay, you know what? This is actually worth my time. It didn't write it for me. It just said, hey, you forgot to make a couple of these points that you've made in the past based on your prior writing and I was really impressed

with that so I want to spend some time on that with my claw to assist here for the points that I had

not made because if you go online or you go on television right now there are a lot of people

screaming about international law and the

shattering of norms by Donald Trump. There's a particular kind of intellectual dishonesty,

and it's masquerading as principle, particularly on the left, and it's called either international

law or norms. They're invoked with religious fervor whenever the United States or Israel, but a lot of our

allies, take any action around the world. They conveniently forget about it when the enemies of civilization act out.
