Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, and happy Monday. You're like, it's not happy Monday, Dana. At what cost is it? But it's still a brand new day. We're at the top of our third hour.

Dana Lash with you, your hostess with Amostis, ready to take you on this roller coaster of the week because the horrors persist and so must we.

So it's good to be with you. I know you're very upset because we had to talk about micromale copulatory organs that came up in a slap fast last hour. I'm not going to bring that up again, but I am. We are going to talk about some of the other stuff as it pertains to the SAVE Act and Islamism and Iran and more.

So to start with This Travel chaos. I know some of you out there have had to deal with it already. Three hundred TSA officers quit. Er Agedden, it's being called. Yeah.

I don't know if I like that term. Arogudden? It just. It's like the old days. It's like the old days.

They quit over this federal budget battle. It's having them work without pay. Hoppy Airport in Houston saw 53 percent of its TSA officers call out March 8th and 47 percent the next day. Other airports have seen double-digit call-out averages since the shutdown began. JFK New York saw 21 percent of its staff calling in sick.

Atlanta had a 19 percent rate. Down in New Orleans, they had a 14 percent rate. By the way, those rates started even before the first paycheck was missed on Friday. Uh Chicago O'Hare. I mean I've already been through that hell before.

I just loathe flying in and out of O'Hare. It's rough. And the last time we went through here was exactly for during the last shutdown, and it was really rough. It was rough. And I think the security line was like four hours long.

I had said that I got there at 3:30. I actually was wrong. My husband reminded me last week because I talked about this Friday that we got there at like 2:30, 2:45. It was about 2:30. And we had a 7 a.m.

flight, and it literally took. All of that to get their security. And by the time we actually got their security, I had just enough time to grab a bottle of water. And then we were getting, we and then we went and got to our terminal and then saw that the flight had been canceled. And we almost didn't get out.

We got on one of the last available flights out. And it was awful, but finally we were able to get back home. It's just a mess. It's a mess.

So, yeah, if you don't have to fly, don't. at this point. Uh, because you're waiting hours, it's not an exaggeration, it is you're waiting hours, and on top of it. I mean, think of this, you know, you've got All of the, you know, three terror attacks in two weeks.

So, DHS covers, you know, all of this covers a lot more than just. airline security And I don't know what Democrats are thinking right now. They don't want to financial aid support Immigration control, and they are willing to risk the safety of the nation, of the people in it, in order to do so. Because they care more about the people who come here illegally and try to usurp you of your birthright than they do actually people who live here. It's uh, it's a pretty amazing thing, and I really feel like.

The administration needs to be still putting out there all of the illegal, you know, the criminal repeat offenders that they're rounding up, these illegal aliens, and making them famous, instead of having a campaign ad that just features Christy Numb's face and extensions. Maybe, I don't know, put those guys up. I mean, at $200 plus million dollars on an ad campaign, and you're not putting that up there, what the hell's wrong with you? That's my only gripe.

So, fix it. Advertise it. Don't let Democrats win on this. This is insane. They've been winning on the they I don't want them to win on this.

And of course, one of the you don't really hear this being discussed in Podcastistan because, gosh forbid, they do something that portrays the left. They're working with the left right now in order to try to undermine POTUS. That's what this is. By the way, POTUS laughed when he heard that the new Ayatollah was a pinkies out kind of dude. It's Yeah.

Ap apparently he might also be dead. There's not even proof of life. The last we heard, he had serious internal injuries and maybe lost the leg, but he's probably dead. If we haven't heard from him, the dude's dead. I also wanted to bring this up.

Let's go back. Speaking of Iran, so this is over at the Hills. Senate Republican is fighting. Ron Johnson and Brendan Carr are in a fight. Brendan Carr, as you know, chairman of the FCC.

And I think a lot of people don't understand frequencies and broadcast licenses. There are certain things that I don't like the government on, and there's certain things that I kind of understand the people having to have an elected representative that appoints someone to handle public airwaves, especially when there are only so many frequencies. And I feel like that's an accurate way to put it, Kane, is it not? Yeah. The This is not like digital.

There are people who are weighing in on this issue and talking about this issue online that don't have to worry about. Regulations that go along with federal airwaves. We do because we're on hundreds of terrestrial stations around the United States, in addition to our digital broadcast and then the podcast.

So that's different. Things that are digital, you don't have to go by FCC rules for that airspace, but when it comes to using The airwaves, there are licenses and certain things that have to be done because, again, there's only so many frequencies, and a lot of it is in part of, you know, it's it's mitigating other potential problems that come up because of it.

So Brendan Carr said that. The people essentially who are running hoaxes and news distortions. This is what he wrote on a post on X. He said, quote, broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions, also known as fake news, have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear, broadcasters must operate in the public interest and they will lose their licenses if not.

And then it included a post from Trump where he was talking about you know, the fake news stuff as it pertains to Uh Iran. The problem with this, and I think some people were mad at Brendan Carr over it. And I was looking at some of the criticisms of him over this. And I get that Maybe, because you said the law is clear, blah, blah, blah. They have to operate this.

They could lose their licenses. There's a difference between podcasting and broadcasting. There's a difference between the requirements for, which there are none for podcasting. and for broadcasting. Like we can't, for instance, pay-for-play.

We can't take money for stuff. And then talk about it on air and not divulge that to you. That's literally like a violation of the Federal Communications Act.

So, we can't do stuff like that. That's pay-for-play. You know, we can't do payola stuff. There's certain restrictions that we have on us as a result of that. That people who just exist in the digital sphere are completely unfamiliar with.

And I guess they think, again, a lot of people think history began the day that they became self-aware. A lot of people who operate in the digital sphere, they have no idea what they're talking about with broadcasting. Kane and I have been in this industry for quite some time now. The regulation of public airwaves is different from the podcast universe because of the limited availability of frequencies, and as a such, There's you know, depending on how it's done, there's always a caveat with everything. It's I mean, that's ultimately what you, that's the reality of the situation.

Carr's not talking about going after digital. Content creators. But Kane, that's the way that they're presenting it. Like, oh, what do you mean? We didn't even have license.

Some of the stupidest hot takes I've been seeing this whole weekend over this. Yeah. And I think they do it intentionally because they want to they want to show some sort of negativity as it relates to how these things are regulated. But in reality, it's just the broadcast signals. Those are the public airwaves That were leased to these entities that we expect to be truthful and journalistic, and they're not.

And that's the specifics in those regulations that Brendan Carr's talking about. Right. I mean, he's not talking about You know, going at, like I said, going after these digital creators. I mean, who are the people that are on? Who are the bra he's talking about like television, you know, the legacy press is who he's talking about.

And he actually isn't over his skis on that, regardless of whether or not you agree with the FCC. which I do think that you have to have when you're concerning public airwaves. Again, there's so many frequencies. Can't, I mean, I don't think some people understand this because if you're not having Because of the limited number of frequencies, I mean, you could hijack any or all of them and squeeze the public out entirely if you wanted to talk about pushing propaganda. Yeah, which there are rules and laws against that as well.

But yeah, so there's a band of frequencies that are for the public. Trust in that regard as far as how they broadcast news. There's also a band of frequencies on how communications in other mediums. happen, whether it be your cell phone or C B s or whatever kind of other radio.

So there are regulations in different bands of frequencies, and this one happens to be the band of television broadcast And that's just what that's just what it is. I feel like people mad at him for saying this don't quite understand what he's talking about. Do you get that? Yeah. Yeah, he's not talking about going after the digital.

He is talking about going after the legacy press that's constantly misrepresenting. I mean, literally misrepresenting everything. But now, see, look what Podcastasan has done. They've been so fake news.

Now they have people defending legacy press. Yeah. And I think what they're seeing is because these big entities, and we talk about CBS and ABC and NBC, and those who broadcast nationally on the public airwaves, that it's in their best interest. To follow these rules because of the amount of reach and revenue that they generate from that.

So, why would they want to jeopardize that? Even though they may have digital repurposing, like they may repurpose some of their broadcast stuff on digital, that doesn't give them the freedom to lie that way digitally while they broadcast a certain, you know, maybe something completely different. Yeah, exactly. No, I think that's that's that is the. That's the way to put it.

I mean, speaking of like, you know, Legacy Press, for instance, so. After Brandon Herrera ended up, now he is the candidate because Tony Gonzalez left the race. He's done like all kinds of video videos on his YouTube channel about A number of things, even getting in history. Like they made fun of Mein Kampf, they made fun of Hitler, they made fun of Hitler's guns, they made fun of all kinds of stuff. And Rolling Stone and all these other publications This is the stuff that they've been saying.

Quote: A Texas GOP candidate has drawn scrutiny after the video surfaced of him happily boasting about having a copy of Mein Kampf. I've had the media do this to me before with certain videos and they try to misrepresent it and it's like the stupidest lie you could possibly imagine. Like you you'll dunk on someone and then they'll act like instead of joking or criticizing it, they were actually endorsing it. They've done that to me a million times.

So they were trying to do to me what they've, to Brandon Herrero, they've done to me and others before. Up he's literally made fun of it.

So maybe it's the legacy press because they love National Socialism so much that they're just upset that he's making so much fun of it. I mean in one of his videos he literally shot a a thing, a little dummy that's representative of Hitler in the head.

So What are people talking about here? This is so stupid and just manufactured. It's just this is the stuff I'm talking about. And it was like, I think CNN did a thing, or maybe it was MSNBC that did a short on it. That's what he's talking about.

That's the stuff that Bernard Carr is talking about. It's just our absolute garbage. Mm-hmm. complete garbage media. You don't loathe them enough.

You really, really don't.

Now You also have this thing, again, another example, NPR.

So, after the Michigan terrorist attack against the synagogue up there, do you want to know how NPR? This was yesterday. Headline yesterday: quote: In a small Lebanese town, grief and fear follow the Michigan synagogue attack. Wait. What?

What? A small Lebanese town, grief and fear, This is the Norm McDonald tweet. Norm MacDonald, back in December 16th, December 2016, said, What terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear device and kill 50 million Americans. Imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims, is what he said.

So This is the town where you had four members of that family, that the Terrorist family, who were members of Hezbollah. And they got killed in a strike, Israeli strike, that they were targeting Hezbollah after Hezbollah again tried firing rockets at Israel again. And They're setting it up like this guy was tortured. emotionally because four of his family members are gone.

Well, why are they gone? They're gone because they were literally members of a terror group. Because they were doing terrorist things with a terrorist group. and they got a terrorist strike. That's what happened.

But they're trying to make this like, oh, well, you know, he was acting out because of this, as though there was a chance that this guy wasn't going to attack the synagogue. If only his terrorist two brothers and two nephews hadn't been killed in a strike. That's what they're pushing here. The folks who help bring you the program, it's our friends over at Chapter. Chapter.

Chapter just wants to help because they understand. Work, I mean, the economy hasn't been exactly great. We had a rough previous four years. And in addition, you have all of these people. They can't afford basic stuff.

You can't afford healthcare. Nobody can afford healthcare.

So you have to be shoved. Onto horrible government health care. And then after that, Once you age into Medicare, you get to go on a great Medicare plan. It's wonderful, isn't it? Except, you get to talk to the government or some rando insurance agent.

And then everybody's shocked when, oh my gosh, we're paying all of this that we could barely afford, and it doesn't actually cover what we need.

So, here's what Chapter does: they want to cut through all of the noise. They're not going to sell you on a couple of health, a couple of insurance companies. This is literally the only entity, they're an advisor, but I think it's the only entity in the nation that compares every single Medicare plan nationwide and they try to find what fits you, what fits you for your doctors, your prescription, your health, your budget. It's an honest translator for Medicare, explaining all of your rights in plain old English, helping you avoid plans that are great, like I said, for insurance company profits. But they're terrible for real people, like you.

So, people who work on average with chapter save about, well, they save over $1,000 a year on healthcare costs just by getting the right plan instead of whatever was pushed at them. It's free and fast to talk to chapter. In under 20 minutes, you can review your current coverage or you can walk through your choices if you're about to enroll. If you're not even there yet, you can ask questions. You just want to know what you're picking and why.

And they'll answer all of your questions, explain the enrollment, and you'll feel confident instead of overwhelmed.

So, take control of your Medicare and dial pound250 on your phone and say Medicare plan. That's pound250, say Medicare plan. Get your options reviewed with chapter. That's pound 250, Medicare plan. Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM.

I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvind Krishna. And I asked him, how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business? My one advice to them. Pick areas you can scale. Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side.

For example, If anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service Ten years ago? They're already five years behind. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software, 30% more productive today. with the goal of being 70% more productive. Yeah.

Wow.

So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it. We say, you can leverage what we did. We're happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change. In the process, because the biggest change is not technology. is getting people to accept.

But there's a different way to do things. To listen to the full conversation, visit ibm.com slash smart talks.

So it was just announced apparently by POTUS that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was diagnosed with breast cancer. POTUS discussed it on Truth Social, saying that she was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, has a fantastic medical team, an excellent prognosis, and says that she will be spending virtually full time at the White House while she undergoes her treatment so she can continue working.

So that just came in. Also, oh boy. Oh boy. Looks maxing. I hate everything.

So apparently men Okay, what in the world am I rating here? A disturbing trend is making men take extreme measures to improve their looks so they can get a girlfriend. They all end up looking like. Overly coiffed Ken dolls.

So they jack up their own faces to get a better jawline.

Some of them have leg extension surgery. I don't even know what that means. To be taller. And it's called looks maxing. And it's basically body dysmorphia to the nth degree with dudes also.

Like one guy literally hit himself in the face with a hammer to change his jaw. Yeah, he's bone smashing exercise. That's not an exercise, that's stupidity. Oh my gosh, stop it. Stop doing that.

Stop doing that. looks maxing. AI chatbots are fueling delusional thinking more and more as people are unable to think independently. No critical thinking. A first major study on what they call AI psychosis suggests that chatbots can encourage delusions amongst vulnerable people.

Well, yeah, I think it can. Just like any bad influence can influence somebody who is vulnerable, this is kind of the same thing. It's not any, really, any different. Uh also Hold this. Redwood County is offering up.

Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Glabwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new Director of Research, Jake M. Petta. We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing. At IBM Research, what we always do is answer: what is the future of computing?

Whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better AI, coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together. It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future. Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff? Yes. building actual Physical machines.

Yeah, it's why I came to IBM. I wanted the experience The culture of building hard things. that others have not done before. Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology? There will come a point.

When it will mature, right? My cell phone is a mature technology at this point. How far are we from that point with content? By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem.

Okay, yeah. And it was 90 liter. It was 83 degrees just yesterday.

So we're all dying. We're all on the struggle bus.

So welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. And again, top of this. First hour. and the latest with Iran.

Successful Uh I've heard, so I figure to tell you the story. It was New York Post. This was one of the first things that I read this morning. Is that POTUS was briefed about Iran's new supreme leader? Uh Mohara.

That he's probably not only is he impotent and also apparently on his deathbed. Did you know that he was apparently like flame on, I'm gone, I'm so sweet, like a nice Bon Bon. That guy, he's gay as all the days long. Why are you gay? Did you know that?

I didn't. Yeah, gay. And Trump was briefed about it and apparently he bust up laughing. Yeah. I had a friend who was actually in the press pool, and that was my source, my source says that's true.

that he was stunned, To learn that US Intel indicates the new Iranian supreme leader. Wait a minute. Wait a minute, w ho hold up. That makes sense, think about it. His dad did not want him to assume control, right?

Dad, the older terrorist goat fornicator, hominy, he did not want him to assume control. Why is that? We all thought maybe it's because he's weak, etc. Or. Maybe it's because This.

Are they going to throw them from a rooftop? Isn't that how that works? Yeah, I mean I was reliably informed that people are thrown from rooftops. when that happens. Just saying.

Just saying. Interesting. Hmm. All right, so. This is some of the latest.

POTUS was briefed on this. In the meantime, the new TDS is just raging unabated. If you were to look at memorandum or God help us all, like Drudge, I feel like Matt Drudge just wants everything. To I don't know. The way that they're setting it up.

Is, oh, well, the United States are going to be drawn into a wider war, which brings me to Keir Starmer earlier, because POTUS has been talking about. having the Strait of Ormuz. keeping it open. Two weeks ago, we did this whole thing on Lloyd's of London and how. You know, ultimately The United States is looking to take control of some.

Of if not all of the were risk insurance from Lloyd's. This is a big discussion a couple of weeks ago. And The straight of war moves the United States said, okay, well, we can do this, well also Well also Uh Make sure that The ships that are coming in that they're protected, that they have an escort, like our military. Which is not unheard of. This happened back during Gulf War days with Kuwait.

The United States Navy also provided Uh escort. a security escort for tankers back then.

So it's not entirely unusual.

Now that said This is the was the plan. Who? Derive a significant portion of their energy or their oil from the Strait of Ormoz. said they are uninterested in assisting. With this.

This is cut nine. I want you to listen to Kier Starmer on this. Because This is what does not sound like a NATO ally. If you want to have a discussion as to what NATO allies should sound like. Listen.

The conflict in Iran and across the Middle East. is now entering its third week.

So I want to take a moment to set out how we're responding to this crisis. and standing up for the British people. Our priority is always the national interest. And so we have been clear and consistent. in our objectives.

throughout this conflict. Hmm. First We will protect our people in the region. Second, while taking the necessary action to defend ourselves and our allies. We will not be drawn into the wider war.

Well, war is here whether you would risk it or not. That's one I honestly, everything can be just drawn back to Lord of the Rings, every single thing. This is a huge, I mean, this is a huge artery, an energy artery for the UK, the Strait of Hormuz. I mean, you have, when you look at globally, the amount of oil that passes through these choke points, it's over 20% that goes through the Strait of Hormuz. You're looking at anywhere from 20 to 30 million barrels of oil a day.

And it directly hits these European markets because these European markets use it. And I think they said that at least daily you have three large British ships that go through the strait a day.

So, this is something that they really do rely on.

So, if they rely on it, and it was enough for them to previously have their navy there, because remember, Britain always had a navy there. They always had a naval presence there in the Strait of Hormuz for that particular purpose, it's a key transit. For Britain, and now Britain's saying we're not going to be drawn in. They want the United States to take care of this, and they want to sit on their fat welfare asses. And let the United States do it all while they simultaneously complain about the United States.

That's exactly what this is. And the United States for all of the discussion about being the world's police and and all of this. Uh why is it they criticize the United States for it to the nth degree, but boy, oh boy, do they absolutely love having the United States fight all of its conflicts, Boost it whenever it needs it, help provide energy at a cheaper cost whenever it needs it. It's getting kind of old, correct? It's a little old.

So I don't know. We're we're this is what uh I mean, that's supposed to be our ally. I have some other examples of how far Britain has fallen here coming up that we will get into. Because that's a huge one. and the United States was positioning itself to not only be able to safely buff Whatever Iran was doing, but also outmaneuver China in the Strait of Hormuz, which is incredibly important.

Because if they want to squeeze us on the supply side of things, if we're helping with war risk insurance and the straight-of-war moves and we're also offering security escort, then we can squeeze back. This is a very important chokehold.

So Very, very I mean, this is one to watch.

Now, in addition to this, let me pull up a couple of other things. We've got. I mean, lost Britain, lost Canada. And In addition to that, we also have the Save Act, which we'll talk about coming up. That is, Congress is going back in.

The Senate still hasn't passed it. I read that 300 TSA agents quit. over the weekend. as this rages on. No one can fly anywhere.

I wouldn't want to fly anywhere right now. It's completely insane. There's no way. I had the misfortune of having to fly last time that there was a shutdown. And let me tell you.

The It it's bad. It is absolutely bad. You know, this wouldn't be a problem if airlines were allowed to privatize their security. You can still have federal oversight if that's your fetish of private companies carrying out, and you can still have a baseline of what's to be expected. But this is one of the other reasons why airlines should be covering this and not the federal government, honestly.

The Federal aspect could come in in oversight and maybe perhaps in regulation. This is part of the problem you're seeing. Because the airlines airlines would like to keep people happy and flying. They're losing a lot of money on this. And now you have 300 agents that quit.

as lines have been stretching out for forever. Just craziness. I mean, in I've been seeing video coming out, I mean, of Miami, out of Houston, looking at another out of Chicago. I mean, Chicago is bad. But As long as this continues, and especially when you had three terror attacks in less than two weeks' time here in the United States, that is a big issue.

And Republicans, I have to be honest, they're not doing a good enough job pinning Democrats down and answering why it is that they're leaving the nation unprotected during a time of increased terror. I think they're afraid to do it because they don't want Democrats to come out and say, well, Trump started this with Iran. I mean, even though technically that's not true, do they have such lack of faith in their own message? Of course it is. You know why?

Because they have a bunch of poo-bums down on K Street that sit here and they consult and they advise them. And these know-nothings have never had skin in the game. They don't do anything except like boardrooms and manila folders. That's all they know.

So I've been paying attention to what's happening with gold and silver lately. And honestly, it's pretty shocking. Gold and silver have risen to record highs in relation to the dollar. And after talking with Colin over at Noble Gold Investments, I really get it. This isn't about trying to time the market.

It's not about chasing some get rich quick opportunity. It's about protecting what you've already worked so hard to build. And when the economy feels uncertain, and when currencies start weakening, when people get nervous about their retirement accounts, historically, they look for stability. And physical gold and silver have always been a part of that conversation. You know, I appreciate, I think, maybe the most that Colin and his team don't pressure people.

Right, they don't use hype, they didn't use that with me. They just simply walk me through my options, they answer questions, and they treat you with respect. And that matters. Noble Gold has helped people protect their savings with physical gold and silver. They've been doing it for nearly a decade with transparency and real customer service.

I recently spoke with IBM's new Director of Research, Jake M. Bada. We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing. At IBM Research, what we always do is answer: what is the future of computing? Whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better AI, coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together.

It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future. Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff? Yes. Building actual Physical machines. Yeah, it's why I came to IBM.

I wanted the experience The culture of building hard things. that others have not done before. Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology? There will come a point. When it will mature, right?

My cell phone is a mature technology at this point. How far are we from that point with content? By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem. To learn how IBM is building the future of computing, Visit ibm.com slash quantum.

It's time for Florida man. This comes from News Channel 10 in Florida. A Florida man tried to steal a septic tank with his Toyota Corolla and a U-Haul. I'm sure that worked. Yeah, that sounds like it was real successful.

A Florida man was arrested after he made not one, but two attempts to steal a septic tank from a construction site, according to surveillance footage at the Marion County Sheriff's Office. The footage shows Alfeonosifora. I don't know. Allegedly attempting to steal a septic tank first. with his Toyota Corolla.

It's the uh truck of uh that's the truck of uh Isis. I'm right now the Toyota. Toilet trucks, and then with a U-Haul truck. They said his plane went totally down the drain because he could not actually get the tank into his car. He continued to push and lift it until a Jeep Cherokee drove past him, climbed in the driver's seat, sped off, leaving the tank behind.

It looks so bad. I mean, it's like way bigger than him. Why would you? Why would you steal a septic tank? I'm for real.

Like, what is that even used for? I'm sure somebody's going to have a super smart answer. I really don't want to know because it's just, but still. What's that? But I don't know.

Let's see here. Also, no, I'm not doing that one. This is a guy that pushed the ca okay, a flood of man was rescued from a burning boat at sea, and then he pushed the captain overboard, the captain who saved his life. Ryan Dieter, who is the oldest 40-year-old I've ever seen in my life, was charged with grand theft, resisting arrest, and operating a vessel while impaired, and burglary involving assault. and battery.

He was arrested after allegedly pushing a CETO captain who saved him from his burning boat overboard. And then he stole a rescue vehicle. The the sea tow captain was found safe, so he's okay. But this guy's charged with oh, by the way, he was impaired, uh, operating a vessel while impaired, and also burglary involving assault and/or battery.

So Yeah. He pushed that no good deed goes unpunished, right? I mean, a guy saves you literally from a burning boat at sea and then you push him overboard and h commandeer his vessel.

So Yeah, that's not gonna, that's not gonna fly.

So he's in the pokey now. Uh, that's not the way to treat somebody who does that for you, does that to you, rather. And then, also, I got a couple of other ones. Uh, we got a cocaine-fueled chases, we've got a lady, okay, here's this one. A woman is in stable condition because she fell off her golf cart and her husband was charged with a DUI.

This is in Northport in Sarasota. A Northport man is facing a DUI charge because his wife fell out the golf cart while driving and hit her head on the pavement. It occurred uh one evening they found mister James Prant behind the wheel of the golf cart. And he helpfully told officers that he and his wife had been partying since noon. That's direct quote.

And they observed tons of empty alcohol containers inside said golf cart.

So he was arrested and charged with a DUI with serious bodily injury. How do you follow? Those go really slow. How in the world are you? You must be really drunk if you're falling off a golf cart.

I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvind Krishna. And I asked him, how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business? My one advice to them. Pick areas you can scale. Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side.

For example, If anybody has more than Ten percent of what they had for customer service Ten years ago? They're already five years behind. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software, 30% more productive today. with the goal of being 70% more productive. Yeah.

Wow.

Our regime is oppressing women, taking away abortion rights, taking away women's rights in like 26 states, some states where they're trying to have the death penalty for having an abortion.

They also oppress women. They have the highest rate of women who are in STEM careers. We're kicking women out of the military, out of university. We're saying that DEI means women can't be hired for high positions in the sciences.

So we're marginally better and we're doing it for Christianity. They're doing it for Islam, right?

So it's like we don't get told those things because it would take away the kind of American exceptionalism narrative. What's her what's her point? What is what? Like for anything. That we are as bad as Iran.

We're just. The Christian version of it. And because we throw gays off rooftops and beat women if they show an angle. Yeah, we don't do any of that. Is that what she's talking about?

We kidnap their uh family members if they don't lockstep with the regime. Their immigration laws are a lot stricter than ours, so I don't know what she's talking about there. Welcome. Back. to the program.

How do you get a name like Joy? Yeah, you know, it's like one of, well, I don't know. It's very weird because it's like leftist women have a name that completely has nothing to do with their countenance, and then you got Anthony Weiner. Yeah. Spot all You know what I mean?

Yeah. So Coming up. POTUS and NATO. And he's saying they're facing a very bad future, and they are by their own making also. I woke up this morning and I looked at the conversation and Mm Uh I don't know how it wa the T D S Me and Girl Squad.

has decided To make Mark Levin's male copulatory organ a point of discussion for today. Um Yeah. I have no idea what is happening with commentary and podcastistan. But it's like every day more brain cells die without the benefit of alcohol to go with it.

So we'll have to take a peek-see over there. Also, speaking of that group, Tucker Carlson apparently made up another story about being spied on by the CIA. You know how he said he was arrested by the Israeli government, and how he also said that we would totally lose with Venezuela, and how he also said that we would totally lose with Iran, and how he hated Trump passionately and thought he was a moron. You know, all that kind of stuff. Oh, that was in text.

Sorry. But. Um Why make up a story? like that unless He was actually being played as an asset against Iran without him even knowing it. He did get rejected by the CIA, so not knowing that you're in an op.
