But it's a war for the Iranian people. You have these people, over 36,000 of them, that have given their lives before the United States even brought their fleet in. And I don't think a lot of people understand what it was that Iran was manufacturing. You're talking about. ballistic missiles that absolutely have a range.
to hurt American assets, if not America outright. And they were developing those as a defense in case anyone tried to stop them from. Finishing from completing. their nuclear achieving nuclear capability.
So All the people who are talking about lives lost right now noticed that not a single one of them had a sh a tear to shed for the over 36,000 that Iran killed just this year. But they keep saying, well, we're losing. We are losing. Hmm. Really?
Go ahead, play I hate playing this. Do I want to play six? Or can I just say it? I hate playing Gal Sharp Dunn.
Well, I mean it's the video's proof. She said it. Go ahead and place the Miguel Sharpton. This is so stupid. I'm sorry.
I would basically pollute my shit. Everything is going on in America right now. The main source of our problem is obviously. That Donald Trump is treacherous. He is engaged in treachery with his Zionist cabal.
We are currently engaged in the war. Because she said a word of war in the Middle East that we cannot win, to be clear, okay? We cannot win that war. We'll talk about more of that. The White House can keep posting their super fake and gay, Mortal Kombat-type memes.
Like, finish him. Oh, Scorpio. We did this in Iran. But the reality is, we're losing and we're losing badly. And that's why I don't listen to Candace Owens.
If I wanted to get analysis. From If I wanted to get analysis from Gal Sharpton. From someone who started. race as a race hustler. from someone who used to sue you know white students under false accusations of racism.
People who didn't pay their rent had to get taken to court. If I wanted a If I wanted to listen to those types of people, if I wanted to listen to the type of person that created a website that doxed conservative gamers who stood up to third and fourth wave feminists in the gaming industry. Then I would go to Galsharpton. and I would get her analysis. Li taking Gal Sharpton seriously?
like seeking out The stinky hobo behind 7-Eleven. And Next to the dumpster behind the QT and trying to engage him in any sort of intellectual discourse. That's what you get. with Gal Sharpden. The idea that we're not winning.
This response is really what it is. Is stupid. She has no geopolitical understanding. Again, stick to suing white people for race hustling. and doxing conservatives, which you weren't even that successful at doing.
And obsessing over Erica Kirk because Charlie Kirk wouldn't sleep with you. But The idea. That it's a loss or that we're losing is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Do you realize that not a single attack from Iran has in any way Impeded our military capability or our operations? Not one.
Not one. I mean, they've had the complete collapse of their drone system. Right now, they're running off remnants, missiles. Uh I mean, we've degraded their ballistic missile capabilities, which is, if you heard what Rubio said in the beginning, which was what this was all about, I don't think people can realize how you can, you know. kit out some ballistic missiles with some You know, nuclear components, and you immediately have some, like, you want to talk about having a major, major weapon.
There you go. No, no, no. We've um you're reading propaganda from people. That's propaganda. The people who are telling you that there's like somehow no end game or that we're losing or anything like that.
That's just that's absolute propaganda. They need America. They need it to look like, and this is what the left wants. They want you to think that America is losing. This is a leftist operation that these cosplayers have signed on to.
We have air supremacy, not dominance, supremacy in Iran. They've had you what we've we took out the supreme leader. The next one. And then the other one who's gay with one leg, the one-legged gay guy, the hominy junior. Right, the second son?
We think he's dead also. We actually don't even know. I mean, I think we know, but I think he's dead.
So Where's the loss? In terms of Operation Where is the loss in terms of ground? Seated. There isn't any. It's The consequence of not doing anything, I understand what Rubio was saying.
I understand what Trump is saying. would have been so disastrously Horrific. And that's what they were picking. Do you want to have this now or worse later? That's the reality of it.
That's war. That's why war is always bad. That's why you don't want to get into war. That's why you do everything to de-escalate. That's why these responses, which is not an all-out war, I understand the argument.
If you don't want an all-out war, then don't get to the point where you have to have one. Of course, dumb race, hustlers who belong on the left, don't understand that.

Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Glabwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new Director of Research, Jake M.
Pata. 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? Yeah.
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.
This message is brought to you by Cologuard. If you ever printed out directions and hoped you didn't miss a turn, it may be time for you to screen for colon cancer. Luckily, things are a lot easier these days, even screening for colon cancer. When caught early, colon cancer is treatable in 9 out of 10 people. With more options than ever, it's key to start screening at 45 if you are at average risk.
The Cologuard test is non-invasive, requires no special prep or time off, and it ships right to your door so you can use it in the privacy of your own home. With just three simple steps: setup, sample, and ship, completing your Cologuard test is easier than finding. the right track on your mixtape. If you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your doctor about the Cologuard test available by prescription only. Learn more or request a prescription at cologuard.com/slash podcast.
Do not use the cologne products if you have had adenomas, which are a type of colon polyp that can sometimes become cancer, inflammatory bowel disease or other hereditary syndromes, a personal or first-degree family history of colorectal cancer, or a positive result from another colon cancer screening method within that test's recommended screening interval. Cologuard results should be interpreted with caution. A positive test result does not confirm the presence of cancer. Patients with a positive test result should be referred for a colonoscopy. A negative test result does not confirm the absence of cancer.
Patients with a negative test result should discuss with their doctor when they need to be tested again. False positives and false negative results can occur. You can do whatever you want with the information, but I'm going to give it to you. And it's It's very interesting because I remember.
Well, I was reading, I don't remember, I wouldn't lie, but I remember reading. about William F. Buckley and having to deal with the insurgency that happened in the right. And how it became as important as policing and pushing back on the left. Because when you're talking about some of the stuff that's happening on the right, when I'm talking about psyops and things of that nature.
These aren't people that are on the right. They're not people who think like you. They're not people who have the same values as you. They are not people who have the same principles as you. These are people who.
Found an opportunity to make money by cosplaying as one of you. Hands to sky, that's what this is. It's a great info op. It is, but We are recognizing it and they're failing.
So now they're getting more and more desperate, and they're going to get more and more dramatic. That's why that resignation. was such a touch point in all of this. This is a guy who literally said a couple of years ago, quote, I personally think Trump should have crushed their ballistic and new capabilities. Direct quote from Joe Kent.
I have a ton more of them. He was scrubbing his timeline.
So a lot of these people that had screenshots of other things that he said also included the link to that tweet, and it's gone. He has been scrubbing his timeline. scrubbing his time line. And This I mean, it's important because it shows a 180 on an issue. And he's never explained why.
He did a 180 on this issue. He was a registered Democrat. until just literally like four and a half years ago. Maybe five. He was kind of affiliated with the Libertarian Party.
From 2012 to 2019, then he switched and became a registered Democrat in 2019. I'm looking at the receipts and the actual voter registration if anybody's interested. And then he remained a Democrat. and he voted for Bernie Sanders. He's a Bernie Sanders guy.
I mean, it doesn't get more socialist than that, right? He is a Bernie Sanders guy. How do you go? From being a Bernie Sanders fan. Bernie Sanders To, oh, I'm a big constitutionalist.
How does that happen? Let me guys, let me ask it this way.
Somebody you work with. Big time socialist, big time leftist. All of a sudden, one day it comes into work. No, no, no, I'm a constitutionalist like you. Would you not ask?
Why? I mean It's Asking why is separate From you, you would be happy that you feel like you had persuaded this individual to join your side. That's the ultimate goal, right? And that's separate. From trying to find out why it was that Your coworker changed their mind.
What did it?
So you ask, well, why? And they never explain. Joe Kent never explained. Ever. He was not only a registered Democrat, he voted for Bernie Sanders.
He didn't switch to the Republican Party until just a few years ago. Like four, four and a half. Then he started running for Congress in Washington's third district. And that's when he decided to run as a Republican about that time. He is not a principled Stalwart.
He is an opportunist that flies in the wind. And it is completely acceptable for you to say so. Just as you would for anyone else that is pretending to be something they're not to infect. The party That is so far right now the best vehicle to accomplishing your voter requests. it is completely acceptable as a supporter of that party to ask What made this person change?
And then, when they fail to articulate why. to be suspicious of it. That is not your fault, it's theirs.
So yes, there's a lot of reasons to be s suspicious of Joe Kent. That's just one of them. Lorain is a great piece over at Substack. Chapter and verse that gets into Joe Kent. And then how he, quote, treated the administration like an airport and announced his departure.
He has completely waffled on a number of these positions. Twitchy has a bunch more. He, there's always more. He had posted, quote, Trump's red line is American loss of life and Iran's nuke development. I personally think we should have crushed their ballistic and nuke capes.
This is another, he basically said the same thing that he did in an interview two weeks prior. to this answer. He says, but Trump has a plan and he's definitely earned the confidence of any clear-eyed voter. Tons and tons. I mean, there's more.
He's talked a lot about this, and he was scrubbing a lot of his timeline.
So what changed? What did it?
You know, it's it is interesting, his associations of his wife. And I do think that that matters. And it matters because his wife decided to work with a Max Blumenthal entity. It is one of those Red-Green Alliance entities. It's a propaganda website.
They recycle. And it's very similar in a way to what Fusion GPS did to Trump back in 2016. He has surrounded himself with the woke Reich. And of course, you know, he's going on Tucker Carlson Show. He's going on the shows of other woke ragers.
And then it's also interesting. You know, one of my friends. Uh uh a very Italian Catholic. Had said that was the first one to tweet out about him joining the sets called the Catholic Prayer for America. Let me be very clear about something, though, before we talk about this.
There is a difference between The people that I know who are Catholics, who have been long, lifelong Catholics, their family have been Catholic. I have some of my very dear friends that are Catholic. My husband's family is Catholic. And then these people. And you know it too.
These are people who literally just converted like yesterday. And now they act like they're the conscience for all of Catholicism. You know what I'm talking about. Don't let them hijack. your faith.
Do not let them hijack your beliefs and your long-held faith.
So this group It's the Catholic Prayer for America. He immediately announced yesterday, right after all this happened, that he had been invited to this. Of course, my friend said, of course, that's just so typical. It's interesting though who puts this on. I don't know if you were aware of this.
But I found it interesting that this is a Steve Bannon slush fund. According to their 501c, their tax information. Don't you think that that's kind of interesting? I think it's interesting. I was very curious as to why that was.
immediately announces that he's going to be at this event. And I had retweeted it. If you want to go and look at my Twitter timeline, heavens, it's up there. But it apparently had to do with It's a 501c4 and the filings show That Apparently, I don't know, it looks like it might be that. That looks kind of crazy.
So, that would explain why they have those speakers and why this. It's all such an op, it's all so organized. This is also organized.
So I look at this, I look at the associations of the wife. Which I think Are Good indications of where his headspace is and what he's doing, what he's thinking. Don't you agree? I think there's a lot of questions that deserve to be asked as a result of some of this stuff. They're all doing now, he's all going on those same people, the same people who have had themselves.
On everybody, each other's podcast. He's going on their podcast. They're really pushing this. This happens the day before. Tulsi Gabbard.
goes to testify to put her in the hot seat. I'm trying to figure out: is this pressure, is this designed to pressure Tulsi Gabbard? Or is it in conjunction with her. I don't know. Here's another Joe Kent tweet.
To at real Donald Trump. We should not sit and wait for the next attack, wipe Iran's ballistic capability out, and get our troops out of Iraq. They are the only targets now. Tons of these, tons and tons and tons of these tweets. And then all of a sudden, as his wife works for this Red-Green Alliance Blumenthal entity.
And it comes out that, excuse me, he's associated with the slush fund speaking circuit thing now. Don't you, doesn't it? It doesn't, it does not look coincidental. It's purposeful. This is all purposeful.
I'm looking at a bunch of different stuff here. There's one of the tweets right there from Joe Kent. We shouldn't wait for the next attack.
Now what's interesting is that Was Gabbard's response to this? Because you know, Gabbard was apparently, according to two sources, and Jackie Heinrich is the reporter who had one of these. Her reporting said that she was apparently told to fire him and it didn't happen. for whatever reason. And This and now this resignation has put all of this front and center.
Right. I saw this with her because she had a statement that was out. She said that she put out yesterday. It said, quote, Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our president and commander-in-chief. And as our commander-in-chief, he's responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent.
Threat, whether or not to take action he deems necessary, etc. She says the DNI is responsible for helping coordinate, integrate all intel, provide the President with the best information available to inform his decisions. Last graph, she says: after carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat, and he took action based on that conclusion. Hmm. Interesting.
Now, some people were criticizing her by saying nowhere in this assessment does she say that she agrees with, or in her statement, does she agree with Trump's assessment? or decision. Regarding the threat from Iran, but she doesn't have to. Because it's not her place to do so. And it seems that she is cognizant of that right now.
That's very, it was very interesting. She affirmed. POTUS's authority. She affirmed his authority, and I think that that's what I think that was the right step for her to do. But it's very difficult to square that away with her.
Tons. of tweets. about not responding to Iran.
So I think what this sets up is. Because Trump is getting some criticism. And I would say that. This is really the thing that I think I would perhaps be most critical of him on, is the people that he chooses to surround himself with sometimes. And that's been, I came out and said that in the very beginning in 2016, when I liked Rick Perry in the primary, and I voted for Trump and the general, I voted for Trump and the General three times.
But apparently, you can call the president a Nazi, run an opo campaign on him, but as long as you bend the knee, you're welcome back. But if you have a different primary pick and still vote for him in the general, you're never Trump, whatever the hell that means. But I Was questioning in 2016 who he was surrounding himself with and saying this was going to come back to bite him because he was picking what a lot of us knew were known leakers. And people who really wanted to be too close to the legacy press and the sparkle that that provided. And it did turn around and hurt him.
I'm looking at this now, and I really feel like he's got a handle on a lot of the leaks, except for some of the latest with Intel. That Axio story that came out over the weekend that was leaked out. And then the day after that story leaks, then Joe Kent announces his resignation. I think they need to really figure out what's going on with their intel. And it also feels like they were kind of setting up to go after John Radcliffe this morning.
I get that sense too. Because John Radcliffe is more in line with the President on this than the Tulsi, Tucker, etc. faction in the administration. HCI ahead. This is very, very interesting.
Our partners that help bring you the program. Noble gold. It is the most noblest of all the medals. But also, it's a safe haven because I don't know if you've looked around lately, things are a little tense. Right.
I mean, with geopolitical issues and, you know, when you're looking at the strength of the currency and the news cycle and global central banks loading up on precious metals as a safe haven, inflation, all of it.
So they've been surging for some time now. Record prices don't mean buy now, but diversification matters. And precious metals historically hedge uncertainty.

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.

We have the SAVE Act that's being fought over in the Senate.
We have the Senate intelligence hearing that happened earlier with Tulsi Gabbard. And of course. You also had the confirmation hearing. with uh Mark Wayne Mullen. And uh And the exchange that he had with Senator Paul.
As well, earlier. Senator Paul said that he's not going to be able to vote to confirm him because Mark Wayne Mullen apparently was. Uh happy that that Senator Paul got beaten beaten up by that neighbor. And he had Woody had broken, he was in the hospital, he had a broken rib and all kinds of stuff. And uh Senator Paul said that Mullen's anger issues would be a terrible example for ICE and border patrol, and so he's not going to vote.
He's going to vote no to confirm Mark Wayne Mullen for. Press Secretary. I get it. Um I don't blame him, especially when You know, they had opportunities to kind of, you know, he had some opportunity. And I don't dislike him.
I just think. You know, I mean, what is it? This is 21. This is when Mullen was like, Yeah, I'm not apologizing. That's not strength to act like a I'm just going to say, and again, I don't dislike him, but I just don't think it's strength to act like a jackwagon.
And then, when you're legitimately wrong, and then not say, you know what, I shouldn't have said that. It's not. That's you're not being strong, you're just showing everyone what your weakness is, which is ego, and that's a bad thing. I don't see where. I don't oppose Mullins for DHS at all.
I just don't see where. I don't like to see people that I like fight. or that I f I I feel uh amicable towards fight?
So I just wish they could get past it, but this was, I think this was probably the answer that did it in. This is cut 21. Chairman Made? Uh call me a liar. Sir, I think there's everybody in this room knows that I'm very blunt and direct to the point.
And if I have something to say, I'll say it directly to your face. If you recall, back in my house days, we actually did have this conversation because of remarks that I made. Um you were in a room. I simply addressed that I said I could understand because of the behavior you were having. I can understand why your neighbor, why the neighbor did what he did.
As far as my terms, the snake in the grass, sir. I work around this room to try to fix problems. I've worked with many people in this room. Seems like you fight Republicans more than you work with us. I did address those remarks.
I did explain your gimmicks by the amendment you put forth. Why? Why? And as far as me saying that I invoke violence, I don't. I don't think anybody should be hit by surprise.
I don't like that. But if I do have something to say, Everybody in this room knows. I'll come straight to you.
Okay, we get it. You're a tough guy. You can see their face.
Okay. I don't dis again, I don't dislike Mark Wynn Mullen, but this why would you do this? Dude We need somebody running DHS. It looks like you would be fine at it. Why are you doing this?
Stop it. I can we just masculinity is not Being like, I'm a hard ass all the time, even when I don't need to be. Look, I'm being a hard ass right now. Yeah, you don't allow me to say it to your faith. You don't like me say it to your face.
What are you gonna say to your face? Stop. If you have to tell people that you're hard, you're not. Just gonna s just that needs to be known. The toughest people that I know, they don't tell you that they're tough.
You just know it when you land on your ass after you cross them. They don't say a word. All of a sudden you're looking up at the sky like, the hell happened here? You got checked. That's that's That's strength.
Strength isn't constantly reminding people that you have it because strength doesn't need to remind anybody, people know. I just don't I think it's I just find it performative and cringe and I don't like it. We get it. But You also have to realize you're going for DHS to run DHS, my dude. Help us help you.
Why are you doing this? Oh my gosh, just get over it for a second. He's getting mad at Senator Paul saying, Well, Senator Paul's a character and Republican. You're attacking him. What the hell?
You can't be like, How dare you attack people on the right while I attack you, somebody on the right. It doesn't make any sense. Stop it! Just stop it. This is where I want, okay, so.
This is where I wish POTUS would come in and be like, knock it off. Just thwap people on the top of the head. Knock it off. 'Cause Jiminy Christmas And you could see Paul sitting there just, you knew exactly that smirk that he had on his face. You knew he was thinking, I ain't voting for you.
Mm-hmm, not voting for you. You knew that's what he was thinking. But I just I cannot stand the There's just no reason for that. No reason for it. Can we just have?
Is it too much to ask, guys, is it too much to ask for us to get one? One one person. Run in a government agency. Who is boring? They just do their job.
I know that's shocking right now. They just do the job. I think there's a couple of this cabinet.
Well, I know, but can we, like of recent, can we just have more of that? Right? That's why Marco Ruby always looks so grouchy, 'cause he just does his job. And he sits there, and then Trump's like, Rubio can do it. And Rubio just is like, oh my gosh.
I don't even know what all he handled. He literally has like four different titles right now. I'm not kidding he does, that's why the memes are so great. He's going to have to go down there and run Cuba now, isn't he? After they hit net zero.
Good night. What is he not going to do? He's gonna be, he'll have to be the Easter bunny. He's gonna do everything. I I I just um I just wish that they They th this kind of stuff does not help.
It doesn't help. Especially going into midterms, where I hope you've seen some of the headlines, it's going to be tough for us. That's something we're going to be talking about this week.
Okay, a couple of other things that I wasn't able to get into.
So far, Trump hasn't backed anybody in that Texas Senate race between Cornyn and Paxton. We're still just kind of waiting on that. No, no big moves. We'll see. In Canada.
Let me pull this up. This is what happened over Ramadan. Woke Canadian school has banned kids from eating in its cafeteria and lunchroom because they didn't want to offend Muslim students during Ramadan. Hmm. They have literally no food zones there to try to accommodate Muslims.
They used to not have it, but now they have it. They sent out an email. And it said, uh To support students who may be fasting, we'll be providing designated no-food spaces during lunch.
So the cafeteria where you eat lunch is a no-food space. Oh, okay. Oh. What? Then, the lunchroom is in no food space for an entire lunch hour.
is what they say in the email. What? Tell a seventh grader that they have to go hungry all day. Yeah. What?
Thank you for your continued partnership in fostering an exclusive and caring school community. Thank you for starving.
So apparently, they were saying that certain lunchrooms were absolutely no food zones during Ramadan for Muslim students. Wow, really? Why wouldn't you just send an email out that says, hey, are you fasting for your religion? Then don't go to the cafeteria where the food is. Right?
Yeah. Are you fasting for Ramadan? Then don't go to where the food is. Very simple. Like, why is that a thing?
Isn't it meaner to put the kids who are fasting? In the lunchroom? When they're supposed to be fasting? Have them go somewhere else then. By the way, why the hell are kids fasting anyway?
I'm sorry, but it's stupid. They chose the method. That's so stupid. That's so damn stupid. They chose the method that was worse for both groups.
Exactly, they did. Why? If you're a seventh grader and you're making your seventh grade kid fast, I'm sorry, but I don't care who you are or how you worship. That's stupid. Get mad, because it is.
Um They need that. They're growing kids. I love these adults that are like, children have to live exactly the way I do. They have there's no biological difference. Good night.
So yeah, why are kids this kids shouldn't be fast anyway? But If you're going to. Then maybe have the fasting kids. Not go. to wear.
The food is Jordan. Served. Very, very easy to do. Instead of making the kids who need to eat not go in there, can you?
So today for lunch, it's shut down. Bye. Go back to class the whole hour. They're like, oh no, literally in the email, I'm reading it. It says that the lunchroom is a no-food space for the entire hour.
And you can't apparently, I guess you can't go eat anywhere else because they're real strict about it. Uh okay.
So I also think this. I think it's I think you're particularly weak if you are fasting and you can't have anybody else eat in front of you because you're fasting. My fast doesn't work if you're eating. That's like the people who are like, My COVID my COVID shot's not gonna work if you don't get the COVID shot. My seatbelt isn't gonna work if you're not wearing a seatbelt.
Yes. So stupid. I'm so done with this. Oh my gosh.
So that's what they're doing in Canada? Look at that. No wonder they're so lost. I just, this is just, it's, there's no, I don't have any explanation for it. Not only can you, you can die in the same day that you want to die.
But now you're gonna be starved. And Canada also canceled an event. They had a woman named Nadia Murad. And she was kidnapped. Raped and sold into sexual slavery by ISIS.
ISIS killed her six brothers and her parents because they refused to convert to Islam, you know, for colonization. And her mother, Her father was killed for not converting. Her mother was too old to be a sex slave, so they killed her. and she was going to go and give a speech. at a school at a school in Canada.
And they canceled it because they said it would, quote, be offensive to Muslims and foster Islamophobia. It's not a phobia if it's based in a statistical reality. That's a real thing. I'm not quite sure why we're dancing around that point, but. They're talking about her actual experience.
And Now we're Dealing Now we what? You can't talk about it because it would offend people. Why would it offend them? That's like you're never supposed to talk about that stuff. My friend John Law did a really interesting deep dive over at RCP about the statistical.
facts about Islamism and Muslims in the United States, terrorism rates and the gr hugely disproportionate rate at which they are committed by one particular religion over another. And it contradicts everything that you've heard, by the way, from the Biden administration, the Obama administration about, oh, no, it's white it's white supremacy that's the biggest threat. But it's actually not. It really isn't. In fact, there's a number of patterns that have emerged from a lot of these acts in the past what, maybe ten years.
And it's I think it's important to talk about it, especially since you've had three terror attacks in two weeks. Um Very interesting.
So Canada canceled that speaker, not Imarad, because they did not want their Muslim students to be offended. I'm offended that anyone would be offended. By the way, I hate when someone goes, I'm offended, and That just doesn't it make you want to offend them more or is that just me? I know it's not St. Patty's Day anymore.
But still I gotta scratch that Irish itch here. That That just makes me more it makes me angry and it makes me want to do it more. When someone's like, I'm offended, really? Good. And?
How is that she's sharing? What she went through in her life. It is our friends over at Chapter. Chapter. Understands how crazy it is if you're trying to pick a Medicare plan.
Uh, you are usually told go to the government website, or here, here's a rando insurance agent, you can talk to them, and then you're shocked when you discover. That your plan doesn't actually cover what you need.
So, Medicare is confusing on purpose, and that's exactly why people end up in the wrong plan. They're overpaying, they're undercovered. You need to find somebody who's truly on your side, and that's what Chapter exists to do. They cut through the confusion, and instead of selling you on a couple of companies, they're the only ones out there that compares every Medicare plan nationwide to find out what actually fits your doctors, your prescriptions, and your budget. It's an honest translator for Medicare.
They explain your options in plain English. They help you avoid plans that are great for insurance company profits, terrible for real people. And the people who work with Chapter save over $1,000 a year on healthcare costs just by getting into the right plan instead of whatever was pushed at them. It's free and fast to talk to Chapter. They can get you set up in 20 minutes.
They can review your current coverage or just walk you through your choices if you're about to enroll.
So, whether you're already on Medicare or you're getting close, they'll answer whatever questions you have, explain their enrollment, and help you feel confident instead of overwhelmed.
So, take control of your Medicare. Dial pound250 on your phone, say Medicare plan. It's Pound250 Medicare plan and have your options reviewed with chapter. Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new Director of Research, Jake M.

If you ever printed out directions and hoped you didn't miss a turn, it may be time for you to screen for colon cancer. Luckily, things are a lot easier these days, even screening for colon cancer. When caught early, colon cancer is treatable in 9 out of 10 people. With more options than ever, it's key to start screening at 45 if you are at average risk. The Cologuard test is non-invasive, requires no special prep or time off, and it ships right to your door so you can use it in the privacy of your own home.
With just three simple steps: setup, sample, and ship, completing your Cologuard test is easier than finding. The right track on your mixtape. If you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your doctor about the Cologuard test available by prescription only. Learn more or request a prescription at cologuard.com/slash podcast. Do not use the cologne products if you have had adenomas, which are a type of colon polyp that can sometimes become cancer, inflammatory bowel disease or other hereditary syndromes, a personal or first-degree family history of colorectal cancer, or a positive result from another colon cancer screening method within that test's recommended screening interval.
Cologuard results should be interpreted with caution. A positive test result does not confirm the presence of cancer. Patients with a positive test result should be referred for a colonoscopy. A negative test result does not confirm the absence of cancer. Patients with a negative test result should discuss with their doctor when they need to be tested again.
False positives and false negative results can occur. We're gearing up for midterms. You have to realize a lot of the internal friction that you're seeing is because it's a fight over midterms. But can I just direct your attention to not one but two things? First of all.
I guess this is Texas' year to have the stupid candidates. Right? Democrat primaries, Democrats running. You have James Tallarico, and then you have. Oh man, do I want to pull this guy up?
This is, what audio is this? This is nineteen.
So, this is 19. This is crazy. Let me just set it up.
So this is a Texas house raise. I think I saw this at New York Post first. It's a Texas house raise. And I don't know What the issue is with Democrats like Mam Donny and like Beta O'Rourke, who think that they're these, they think that they're musicians, that they're. But not like that one lady who thought it was a magician.
Would you call me a magician? I'm not a magician. I don't think, baby, that's ghetto. I don't think. I don't understand what it is with these people on the left, these lawmakers that think if they didn't succeed in a music profession that they're going to run for office.
It's the weirdest thing.
So, this guy. is challenging Republican Monica De la Cruz in Texas. Do I okay, it came to shrill? Do we really want to play this video now on second thought because it's so bad? It is so bad.
Guys, the guy, his name is Bobby Polito. He won the Democrat primary for the state's 15th congressional district. And he tries to act like he's the moderate in the race, right? He's the moderate. Remember, Democrats have been trying to convince voters, look, our people aren't freaks.
See? Not a freak. And then they push out people like James Tallarico and others. They really are freaks. This guy Um He made a music video where he played a pervert.
Oh, yeah. And pantomimed Um exhibitionist type behavior. of a singularly romantical activity kind. Right. Okay.
This guy is running, and he's supposed to be a moderate, normal one. Democrats have been like: look, this guy's not a freak. Look at how much of a not freak he is. And then this video comes. Go ahead.
Just do it. Just do it. I know we got it. Oh boy. That's him.
That's Questa era parte de enguestuario. I do not even understand what is happening here. He plays a pervert. And then I don't even know. That's his video.
That's the guy running. Cain. Cain? I was told that they didn't have any more freaks. What?
Who told you that? I don't know. Democrats were like, no, no, no. Look, our candidates are just like you. I don't know who the hell told you that.
Because there is no truth to them being. Not freaks on that side. But it is, you know, I think it's important that we expose this 'cause the mainstream media's not going to tell you how silly the left is. We have to tell you that. And it's painful when we do it.
Apparently, this guy's dad was surprised to see him act as a gay character. And then everybody was like, you're gay. And then he goes, But I'm not. And he got real mad that they were like, you're gay when he played a gay pervert in the video. Uh-huh.
So does he think.
Someone calling him a gay is a pejorative? Yeah, he swore on the Bible that he's not gay. Literally he did it and there's video. He was so mad that people, you know, and it's understandable. The chat's like, no, no, no, he didn't just play a pervert, he is one.
He is so a pervert. He legit swore on a Bible that he wasn't gay because he was so upset. that people were saying that he was gay. Why? I thought gay was what the left is.
Yeah, I dude, I don't know. I mean, yeah, it was. That was his. I don't even. Why is this?
Oh my gosh, this is so gross. This video is so cringe. He did this. Who does this video?
So that's what Texas is dealing with right now. We got this guy. And Now he's trying to, I guess, deal with the fallout of that. I don't know. Um,.
I The RGV that runs so his district Is Pretty conservative in that regard. I don't know how they're going to react to something like that. And he's trailing behind Dela Cruz by three points. And he apparently spends more time in Mexico than he does in Texas. He said he's a summer Mexican but a winter Texan.
And apparently has spent more time in Mexico than he actually has in Texas. That doesn't actually yeah, it doesn't especially in that area, it just doesn't make any sense at all.
So yeah. Lots of questions here.
So we got this guy. Can you give me that Tallarico? Flashback. This is from like what, a year and a half ago, two years ago, James Tellerico. Do you know that he has a vegan campaign?
Is that important to you? This is so dumb. I swear, I'm gonna throw myself off my roof. This is such performative stupidity. It's so dumb.
Who's like, wait, I don't know if I can vote for this candidate. Is your campaign vegan? Is it vegan? Is your campaign meat-eating? James Tellarico, he was wearing a face mask and talking about how his campaign doesn't eat meat.
And he was he was Uh railing on beef. and eating meat when Texas is, you know, Kane, we got a big cattle industry here. I mean, uh yeah, the stockyards, you know. This is him. Just not even a year ago, like maybe a year ago, year and a half ago, two years ago, maybe.
where he's talking at an event about how his campaign is. Oh, yeah. His campaign there. They just love, they just love vegan stuff. They like eating like bugs.
Listen. We have, I think, heard more and more issues of animal welfare. I think not just because it's the right thing to do and the moral thing to do, but also it's, as all of you know, necessary to fight climate change. It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption and that we try to respect animals in all aspects of society. And so I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign.
So we have We are we are only buying vegan products from from our local vegan businesses. Um some of you may know big nonas. We have Islamists that are raping women and children, but this guy is like, oh yeah, well, you know, we um We decided to go meet Frere. And our campaign. It's meat free were an all-vegan campaign.
What have you done to lower taxes? I mean, nothing. Not a damn thing. You know. Our campaign our campaign doesn't eat meat.
What are you doing to stop American jobs from Being consumed by H-1Bs, that we have no restrictions or regulations over here domestically. Oh, no, I mean, I can't answer that. But I can tell you one thing this campaign won't be doing. is eating hamburgers. Wink.
What kind of life do people have if that's like their biggest concern? Like you wake up in the morning, birds sing. It's like Snow White, the squirrels help dress you. And your biggest problem is: I just don't know what I'm going to do. What's wrong?
What's the matter, Snow White? I just I can't vote for this I can't vote for this candidate because I just don't think his campaign is vegan. What a sad existence if that's the biggest problem that you have in life. Is that not out of touch? Also, high beef industries, Texas.
You pretty much get a stake when you move here. And then they watch and see if you cook it and if you do it well done they send you the hell back from wherever you came from. True story. I think you should be arrested if it's well done. That's me personally.
Again, probably also why I should never run for office. But Does that he just changed your mind right there, Kane, didn't he? You are all about this guy now because. It's Vegan. Yeah, no.
Not at all. It's like running for Florida and being against beaches. I love the state of Florida, but I don't like the sand and water.
So much sunshine. We're anti-sand. Anti-sand, water, and fun. Anti-sun, anti-healthy things. Just, we don't like any of that.
Running in Texas, you just said, You don't want meat. Like, we're anti-meat. Yeah. But vote for me in Texas. It's like going to San Francisco and saying, I just don't like needles and feces.
It's everywhere. You know, I mean, you can't do that. That's their big, that's their cash crop there. They are quite a haul on needles and feces this year. That's who we have to deal with in Texas.
Okay, why is Texas the state that has to have this stupidity? I feel like every state takes a turn during the election cycle, and we just play musical chairs with the morons. Oh, it's our turn this time. It's ours. Like, we got not one, but two stupid candidates.
Great. That's going to be so fun for us. Going to love those ads when it starts kicking off. Jiminy Christmas. Just would like Just would like to, you know, Would just like to have normal.
Democrats don't have normal candidates, though. That's the thing.
So every because their candidates are so not normal, we had to hype and get into some of the. Sensationalist aspects of it.
Now, can everybody just be normal for just five seconds? That would be wonderful.
Now, a few other things, because I know we got Florida Man on the way. Cuba went net zero, dude. There you are. I guess I did. Did you know that?
They went net zero. I mean, they achieved everything that the Green New Deal, the Green New Dirt, that they wanted to do. The what? The Green New Dirt. That's what it's called.
They're uh total collapse of their energy grid this week. Total island-wide blackout. Net zero. They did it! Cuba, the first nation to go totally net zero.
with their carbon emissions. Pa millions have no electricity. They I mean, and this you know, this is an improvement from a year ago when Havana and Western Cuba got hit with a power outage. The whole island they were only without power for a couple of days as all their power plants failed. That was in October of twenty four.
This one, though. They they nobody can assist them. And people are getting mad at the United States and acting like it's the United States' problem for some reason or that we caused it. It couldn't have been all the communism. You know, and The brutality.
It couldn't have been that. By the way, do you know all these other nations do not have sanctions on Cuba, so stop acting like it's just the United States' fault. I mean, it's not that. Europe, they have no issue. They don't have the same sorts of restrictions on Cuba that the United States has.
But they said, no, no, no, it takes the place in the context of Cuba's primary allies being unable to assist. You mean Venezuela? and U.S. controlling energy supplies. Yeah, you know, I mean, but they, they, I'm surprised that Democrats haven't come out and applauded them.
This is what they've all worked for. Where's Greta, what's her face? Thunberg. Tuneberg. Greta Thunberg.
She looks like a little Lord Fauntleroy. She actually looks like that Prince from Shrek. She does. Who I think was modeled after little Lord Fauntleroy. She looks like that Shrek prince.
And she just hops on a different. Seen like every year.
So now she's, I'm just, does she still care about the global warming stuff? All right, folks, this one's for the women listening. And for the guys who like what this product serves.
Okay. So it's for the ladies in your lives, because this is a bigger deal than most people realize. And all ladies out there, you hear the same complaint. The brassiers, the bras that dig in, the straps that leave marks, the shapewear that's horrible, and it rolls down the second you sit in a chair. It's uncomfortable, it's annoying, and honestly, you just want to rip it off and set it on fire in your driveway.
Honestly, that's what you want to do.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
So Oscar viewership has slid by 9%. That's its first drop since 2021. Does anybody care? Does anybody watch? I didn't even watch it anymore.
I don't even like watching it because the fashion's horrible right now anyway. Everybody looks like a cupcake. like an anorexic cupcake.
So. Does that make sense? That sounds king. Girls punk band, high school girls punk van, anorexic cupcake. Why did I make that my X-handle?
Gosh dang. Anyway, so nobody cares. Nobody's watching it. Apparently, they saw similar drops for the Grammys and Golden Globes. I think it's because Not even just Hollywood culture.
I really do believe that it's also because people know how performative this is. It's not really what the best movie is. You know that. It's popularity with the Academy. That's what drives this.
So it's whatever the Academy likes, regardless of whether or not it's actually good or not. Who you know, all that. Record-shattering March Scorcher. 70 million are going to bake in Summerlake Heat Dome this week into the weekend. Yes, let this happen.
It's going to be 90-something degrees here, and I'm all for it. America has more spas and gyms than stores that actually sell stuff, according to the Wall Street Journal. Landlords are leasing more space last year they did to service-oriented tenants. than selling products.
Wellness and fitness are leading the charge. That's kind of interesting. I think it's just because people are buying everything online.
So you just drop ship. It's just super simple. Yeah. TSA warns that smaller airports could shut down amid the DHS funding crisis. And those lines have been snaking out of more terminals as TSA goes unpaid because Democrats refuse to just make it to where you have to have an ID to vote.
All right, kids, if you have ever fought with a garden hose, and you know exactly what I'm talking about, like the kinks and the tangles and sometimes it looks bad after a year and the whole thing turns into a rubber knot the second that you need it. A lot of people replace their hoses like every couple of years. It's like it's a springtime tradition for some folks. But now there is the world's number one expanding garden hose. It's called the pocket hose and it really is that small.
And they have their new pocket hose. ballistic this thing is tough it's reinforced i don't know what this is liquid crystal polymer it's like the same thing that they use in bulletproof vest which means it can handle your household can probably even handle terrorists this thing actually stretches out so ungodly long it's this thing goes out to 25 feet and then you turn on the water it expands to the full size hose but look look how little it is and it's very lightweight you know you you turn the water off it shrinks right back down Uh Twee size, pocket size, so you're not rustling this giant hose back into the garage. I know there's a million jokes to be made here, but the point is, is that their new ballistic version is even better because it has five times stronger than steel fiber, and it has this like little pocket. Pocket pivot. That's what this thing is.
It's like 360 degrees pocket pivot.
So there's no kinking, no tangled mess. And now it's also upgraded with a UV coating so it doesn't look like absolute hot garbage after summer. And it has even thicker washers to help resist leaks.
So for a limited time, you can get the pocket hose ballistic. Ballistic. With a free 360-degree pocket pivot. That's what this thing is. It's the pocket pivot.
And you also get a thumb drive nozzle. All you have to do is text Dana to 643000. 64000.
So that's text Dana to 64000 and get not one. But two free gifts, your ballistic pocket hose. Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Glabwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new Director of Research, Jake M.
