uh preeminent innovation nation it has few competitors and that would say all right where do you have this close cross-disciplinary uh fermentation of various skills and areas i would say it's in israel and i'll tell you why we used to be just telecoms because people went out of the military intelligence, RNSA, but that's been now broad-based.

So you find it in medicine, you find it in biology, you find it in agritech, you find it everywhere. Everything is becoming technologized. And in Israel, everybody is dealing in everything. And that's a potent reservoir of talent that the world is not going to pass up and, in fact, is coming to us. We just had NVIDIA coming here, and they decided to build a supercomputer in Israel. I wonder why.

Well, first of all, I have a high regard for the people I talk to, okay? And I understand that they understand things I don't understand, and I don't pretend to understand everything, but I do understand one thing. I understand that AI is developing at a geometric rate, and mostly in political life and in life in general, people don't have an intuitive grasp of...
