It's interesting because I didn't catch that.

You know, it's kind of amazing that didn't happen.

Now, what they would say is, you know, they weren't being used by Shin Bet, which is the domestic intelligence service in Israel.

They weren't being used by the IDF at the time.

That has changed since October 7th.

Now all the military and intelligence apparatus in Israel, all of it's using Palantir since October 7th.

And after October 7th, it's when I really began to see the change in Karp's politics.

He had been expressing frustration with the Democrats for a long time.

He was a major Democratic donor, but had been expressing frustration with the Democrats and progressives for a long time over things like immigration, over things like identity politics.

But after October 7th, that is when his turn to the right really begins, really accelerates, I should say.

For instance, on the issue of immigration, he had seen immigration, the chaos of the border.

He had always viewed that as bad for the Democrats, as a toxic issue for the Democrats.

After October 7th, he decides that immigration is bad for American Jews, which is an interesting place to land.

But that's where he landed.

Certain types of identity politics are important and OK, actually.

That's exactly right.

There was kind of a hypocrisy here.

He's scorning the Democrats for being enthralled to identity politics.

But it is now his Jewish identity that is driving his decision making at Palantir and driving his political metamorphosis.

And, you know, this is when you really see him starting to get on board with Trump.
