But there are a lot of people who are not remotely anti-Semitic, but who are absolutely arguing that America has been led around by the nose by Israel and that that has to stop.

And I think that's going to produce a real long-term change here, actually.
voice-verified
All right, moving on.

We have had an email from Lance in Devon and he is asking about the announcement this weekend that Truth Social, that's Donald Trump's own social media platform, is proposing to sell early releases of policy changes to users who pay, he says, a no doubt substantial fee as a form of enhanced subscription.
voice-verified
Surely financial regulators would have to consider this the equivalent to insider trading.
voice-verified
And this was an announcement that came from the Trump and Media Technology Group, who own Truth Social, saying that a paid service will give Wall Street firms instant access to market-related posts.

So anything that Donald Trump's announcing, new policy or tariffs or whatever, that could potentially move markets.

voice-verified
So I suppose it's analogous with that and therefore probably not illegal.
voice-verified
The plans are very vague.

When I was reading them last week, it seemed to me that we were maybe talking about a matter of seconds, actually, between when people who paid the subscription would find out what the president was saying and when people like us were.
voice-verified
Because I was scratching my head trying to work out if as journalists we would need to subscribe to this in order to get the news fast enough.
voice-verified
But I think we're talking about a very, very short amount of time.
voice-verified
That could be a little bit tricky.
voice-verified
We'd just come back with refused well dodgy written on it, wouldn't it?
voice-verified
Well, fascinating, isn't it?
