Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on AI:

The fact that this is going to be the end of humanity—it's complete nonsense. The fact that this is going to destroy half of the American jobs—it's complete nonsense.

AI will increase productivity. When productivity is increased, it creates opportunities.

Over the history of technology, society has become more productive as a result of technology. It has created more jobs, not less.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on the American dream:

Anything's possible in the United States. You know, there's a reason why it's called the American Dream.

If you're willing to work hard, if you're willing to take chances and go do something unique, the environment, the conditions, the support, the people, the brilliance that's all around us makes it possible.

And I think this is the land of dreams.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Trump:

He's smart. He remembers everything. Goodness gracious. He sure knows numbers.

He's the only president that has ever remembered H20, H200. NVIDIA's Blackwell. He knows our next generation, Rubin. He has just an amazing memory.

He wants the United States to be re-industrialized.

He is single-mindedly about creating jobs. He's single-mindedly about reshaping the American economy and the labor workforce.

Trump:

The Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!) being made between the United States Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia, which pertains only to non-military use such as the ones that Iran and UAE (and others) already have, will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords.

The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities.

Trump:

A year ago the United States of America attacked, very powerfully, the Houthis, for their interference with commerce and trade, by shooting at ships.

Since that time, and during our conflict with Iran, they have acted very responsibly. Unfortunately, now they are starting up again, shooting at two Saudi Arabian ships last night.

Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if they do this again, the U.S. will hold Iran responsible, in that the Houthis are a Surrogate and/or Proxy of Iran, and major military punishment will be inflicted upon Iran and, of course, the Houthis, themselves, who I am very disappointed with in that they have, until now, acted very professionally and smart.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Rebuilding Gaza after the 2023–2025 war will cost an estimated $71 billion—about seven times the combined cost of reconstruction after the 2008, 2014, and 2021 conflicts, according to an Oxfam-backed report.

Nine months into the ceasefire, reconstruction has yet to begin.

Two Israeli banks have warned they may soon cut correspondent banking ties with Palestinian banks, threatening to disrupt payments for essential imports such as food, fuel, electricity, and water.

Palestinian and international officials warn the move could cripple the West Bank economy, fuel a cash-based black market, and worsen the Palestinian Authority's already severe financial crisis.

Netanyahu's Office:

The joint American and Israeli military action against the genocidal regime in Teheran and Israel's crushing of Iran's terror axis have created the possibility to expand the circle of peace.

Saudi Arabia's joining of the Abraham Accords would be an historic leap forward for peace in the Middle East.

IRGC:

After the official resumption of the war, the invading U.S. military had been using cruise missiles launched from its naval vessels in the Indian Ocean.

However, after those ships exhausted their missile stockpiles, yesterday it resorted to using B-1 bombers flying from RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom.

As officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have also stated, any base used to launch attacks against Iranian territory is considered a legitimate target for us.

The House voted 214–208 to restrict Trump’s ability to continue military action in Iran without congressional approval.

Four Republicans joined Democrats to back the resolution.

The Senate is expected to vote on a similar measure later Thursday.

Iran flew IRGC commanders, military advisers, and missile and drone equipment to Yemen on July 13, in a move that appears aimed at strengthening the Houthis' ability to threaten Red Sea shipping.

A Mahan Air flight carrying 10–21 IRGC personnel, including senior commanders, diverted from Sanaa to Hodeidah after an airport strike.

The cargo reportedly included missile and drone components as well as gold to fund Houthi operations.

Iran's Ghalibaf:

Reporter: Is Russia helping Iran target US troops?

Lavrov: Nice hairstyle.

The U.S. Navy will no longer release sailors' service records—such as duty assignments, ranks, or awards—to the media, citing security and harassment concerns.

Critics say the move, part of broader Pentagon restrictions on press access under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, reduces transparency and makes it harder to scrutinize military actions and report on service members.

Netanyahu:

I went to see Trump right after the election, and I came there with seven big slides.

Slide one, slide two, slide three, slide four — here's what we're going to do.

Not "are you allowing us or not allowing us" — here's what we're going to do. I told him. And we get to the last slide, and I say: here's what I'm proposing to you.

You have B-2s — these huge bombers. There's a site called Fordow. If we need to, we'll act against it ourselves too. But it's much more effective if you come and simply drop your heavy bombs there.

He listened, and in the end he joined. And I was very glad.

Host: Messi is the greatest player of all time.

Netanyahu: I have to say, with Pelé. But in our time, in recent decades — Messi.
