From these European nations. If you remember what we had discussed Yesterday, and some of what we were discussing just this past week was the Reluctance, not, I shouldn't say reluctance, I actually mean outright refusal of these European nations to actually get involved and help. With maintaining peace in the Strait of Ormuz. And it's I mean, you would think that that would be an easy decision for them to make, particularly considering. How much energy they actually Receive.
How much crude, everything that they get. You would think that they would be a little bit more interested in helping out, just ever so, just a little bit. I think the United States, maybe 7%, if that, I think it's actually under 7% that we would actually get from the Strait of War moves. They get quite a lot more. And The fact that they Didn't want to help out.
You know, we played that audio. I think it was from Emmanuel Macrone. It was yesterday, I think, right? Where he was saying, no, we're not interested. I'm helping out.
Okay. We're not interested. All right, there you go.
So. Not just him, but also Pedro Sanchez. Spain's socialist leader. And then, of course, Germany, which Germany is kind of responsible for a lot of atrocities as it relates to their immigration with Angela and Merkel, et cetera. And of course, they've kind of gone along with this by seeking dirty oil and gas elsewhere, thus empowering the geopolitical foes of NATO, which kind of undercuts NATO.
But all of these NATO nations that were super happy to sit back and treat the United States like a pimp, to treat the United States like we were, all of us taxpayers, or nothing more than a giant welfare system for them. And that's exactly how they treated it. That's how they treated NATO. They didn't even want to meet the bare minimum of spending for their own defense. You have to at least, what is it, like 2%, 2.5% GDP towards your own defense spending.
I mean, that's for you. That's not you spending it on anything else. But they didn't want to do that. Instead, they expanded their entitlement programs. They imported in a bunch of third-world savages.
And now everything's going to hell.
Now you have Britain, Great Britannia, doesn't even have, I mean, a barely functional navy. They sent one, what is it, one destroyer? To the Mediterranean after Iran droned Cyprus. And this was after Keir Starmer lied prostrate at the feet of Khini and was begging him to not, please don't, please don't do anything. We don't have the willpower, or really the resources or anything else in order to be able to push back.
I think they really believed that the United States is going to say, okay, well, then we'll do it ourselves. But what Trump did and what he reiterated yesterday was he said that, well, you know, we don't need it as badly as these guys do, so maybe we should just leave it to them to handle. He not only said that in a press it to the press, but he also put it out on Truth Social. And then all of a sudden, these European leaders start looking at each other. Quite and whoa, really.
And this is where Japan comes in.
So you have the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy. I should say Italy, by the way, has been a lot stronger of a supporter in this than other European nations, but Italy is more conservative. It's the most conservative country that's in the European Union. And the conservative resurgence and explosion within the political structure in Europe began in Italy and it's spreading elsewhere. But UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, they all issued a joint statement, quote, expressing this is from insider, expressing their readiness to contribute appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, while welcoming countries undertaking preparations, coordinating strategic petroleum reserve releases, and exploring ways to boost output.
Hmm.
Well, in on the eve of maybe perhaps having their oil cut away. And their access to such energy removed, they decided. You know what? We should not continue to rely on the United States to do everything for us. Maybe we should do a little for ourselves.
Hmm.
Makes sense. Our partners for this portion of our program. It's the amazing folks at Preborn. This is such a wonderful organization that does so much to save lives. Do you know they saved 80 actually over 80,000 babies last year?
That's insane. That's amazing. I mean, to think that that's like a whole generation, it's a stadium. It's a whole generation, basically, almost a whole generation. 80,000 babies, 80,000 souls.
Everything changes the moment that a mother in crisis walks into a pre-born network clinic. and meets her baby. on an ultrasound. They provide free ultrasounds to women who are expecting. to counter the noise they hear from society that they cannot raise this child, go ahead and abort it.
Well, Pre-Born is in there telling them they are strong enough and they can do this. You don't have to sacrifice your family because society's convinced you that you're not powerful or smart enough to do it, which you are. And so that baby, when they have, when the mother hears the baby's heartbeat, that baby's chance at life doubles. There's numerous studies on this. $28 is the cost of an ultrasound.
Imagine you spend $28 and you save a life. That's a really sound investment, not just here on earth, but up in heaven. And so for $28, you can do just that, a life-saving ultrasound with pre-born.
So this year, let's make this year the biggest baby saving year yet. Call Pound250, say the word baby. That's Pound250, say the word baby. You can also visit preborn.com slash Dana. Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Glabwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM.
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 could run a very, very large, large problem. To learn how IBM is building the future of computing, visit ibm.com slash quantum.
Hey, it's Sarah Spain. As a former college athlete, there were so many moments where I second-guessed myself. It's natural when you're under pressure. And when I had those moments of self-doubt, I found that the smallest thing can steady you, like a smile. Not because it's easy, but because it reminds you.
You belong here. You've put in the work. You can handle this. Colgate has supported female athletes for over 50 years with the Colgate Women's Games, helping them build confidence and self-esteem while competing for scholarships. The Colgate Women's Games is the nation's longest-running indoor track and field series for girls and women.
Colgate knows that resilience is the key to better performance. And sometimes, resilience takes the shape of a smile.
So if you ever doubt yourself, remember. Your smile is your strength. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
So I read this. This is from the New York Post. I thought it was kind of entertaining. Gen Z wants green days off. off of work to reconnect with nature.
for their mental health, their fragile mental health. It's called a weekend. That's what weekends are. They said that they're in need of respite. They need to ditch the daily grind and enjoy a little midweek mindfulness.
They would like to be able to barefoot, walk barefoot through the grass and frolic in a meadow. That's the weekend, it's a weekend activity, but they're wanting more time off. Why don't you work for 10 years in the workforce first? Before saying that you want more time off, US debt reaches 39 trillion milestone for the first time amid a spending surge. We have got to get the spending.
Under control, and Republicans need to get off their keysters and get it done. I've been saying this for years. And it's not any better under a Republican administration than a Democrat one. Just so you know. It's been pretty bad.
They got to cut spending because you know what's going to happen when we lose midterms and set up for a Democrat presidency in 28, they're going to say, oh my gosh, we got to make up this revenue taxes. That's going to happen, just so you know. More people have been hospitalized by trendy supplements that have been recalled over contamination with deadly bacteria. or maybe just get eight hours of sleep. and Eat Healthy and you won't need maybe perhaps all of the supplements.
The CDC, if you believe it or not, they issued a recall of a whole bunch of other, a whole bunch of super greens. Live it up, supplements, organic green superfood, whatever. They've had 97 cases, 26 hospitalizations, and 32 states that were tied to bacteria contamination of their product. That's so gross. That's nasty.
Let's see, the FBI and IRS are going to investigate nonprofit groups from domestic terror links. You know, you need to check out some of these Islamist ones, particularly in New York. We've got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. If you hate like waiting for forever when you're like trying to figure out something with your cell phone service, you don't have to with Patriot Mobile.
I'm pretty sure they have like a million people in Texas that are just sitting there with their U.S.-based customer service team, super excited to talk to somebody, which is probably why my mom calls them and like just asks just random questions about her phones. She just likes talking to them. It's hysterical. But what I love about Patriot Mobile, first off, it's affordable. I mean, they got plans that they can tailor to what your needs are, whether you're a business or a family.
And it doesn't matter. How big of a business or how big of a family? They have plans that they for everybody: unlimited data, mobile hotspots, international roaming. In a contract, they also have a program to buy you out.
So, you don't have to be stuck with that device or that company. Your Switch also directly funds conservative causes. They have a proven stream of giving. I've told you before how they were instrumental in helping the ragtag group of parents in my town. Organize against a very well-organized and very well-funded professional opposition that was trying to take over the school board.
And with Patriot Mobile's help, parents won in our school district. And they do all of this while giving you prioritized premium access on all three major U.S. networks. This has been my service for over a decade. You should make it yours today.

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.
that there's a different way to do things. To listen to the full conversation, visit ibm.com slash smart talks. Hey, it's Sarah Spain. As a former college athlete, there were so many moments where I second-guessed myself. It's natural when you're under pressure.

And sometimes, resilience takes the shape of a smile.
So if you ever doubt yourself, remember. Your smile is your strength. Well, you're right to be concerned about Iran's development of longer-range ballistic missiles, Senator. If Iran were allowed to develop at the IRBM ranges, which is Three thousand kilometers, it would threaten most of Europe, and yes, as you mentioned. We know that Iran is gaining experience in these larger, more powerful booster technologies through its.
So-called space launch vehicle program. If left unimpeded, yes, Senator, they would have the ability to range missiles to the continental U.S. It's one of the reasons why degrading Iran's Missile production capabilities that is taking place right now in Operation Epic Fury is so important to our national security.
So that CIA had John Ratcliffe. that he's he was laying it out. about everything with this is what they feel was the immediacy, this is what they were looking at. And previously, we had played Rubio audio and he was talking about the use of those of their missile stockpile that was growing At an insane Pace. And what's funny is that actually I was just looking to pull this up.
There was a piece that I read and it was supposed to they were trying to design it as a hit piece. against the administration. And It ended up actually kind of confirming the rate of production with these missiles with the aid of China. And so that didn't actually go that well for them with that. But then again, you know, it's.
They don't want the United States to be successful. Welcome back again to the program. As I said, Dana Lash here with you. And This uh Immediacy the I get what they're saying, that you have a certain window. to act And when you get past that point.
the consequences are going to be double or even triple. What they would have been by not acting f earlier. And that Gets into what Rubio said that sometimes the cost of inaction is greater than the cost of action. And that's what he and POTUS had explained. early on.
And as I said, I think that they deserve the benefit of the doubt. because he's been very consistent.
Okay. He's been very consistent on all of this. My friend Kurt Schlichter has a piece out at Town Hall, and as you know. Uh he is a a retired colonel. And he was talking about One of the, I mentioned I would last hour I would get into this.
He was talking about the um Report that POTUS was considering boots on the ground. POTUS is not considering boots on the ground, but he doesn't want. Foreign entities to think that, and I wouldn't either. If I am playing a, if I am in a, imagine it as a, the, the tensus boardroom. battle that you could be in.
Because again, It's falling the War Powers Act. Congress hasn't declared war. We haven't met other criteria for that consideration. It's not a war. We don't want it to get to one.
And so that's why they were saying decapitating the leadership structure. All of the top ranking. Eliminating stockpiles. and making it to where they can no longer enrich uranium, that was the goal. And as I've said, I think he's been incredibly consistent.
No mission creep. Whenever there's action, it is in and out, and that's it. And he unleashes our fighting forces to do what they do best. And that's what it's about. My friend Kurt Schlichter has a piece that, as I said, that gets into This boots on the ground part.
And he was saying, Look, even if it were to get to that, it's not going to be our people. It's going to be Israel that would be doing it. And he says, The only one that we don't, he said, because he's talking about the people who say that we're losing, which is stupid. These people are lying to you. That's so damn dumb.
Honestly, like, stop. Still he says still with the with the Israelis taking out squad sized units of whatever the Farsi word for Gestapo is, using exploding drones, and the people beginning to take to the streets, it's only a matter of time before the mullahs lose control of the dirt too. That's it. He says the victory is so complete that it increases the potential to doubt it. Because the achievement is so incomprehensible.
Sure, they fired some missiles and drones. Yeah, the enemy gets a say. Of course they tried to close the Straits of Hormuz, but that's not going to last. Tactically, they can't do anything to us that impacts our combat power. Our casualties and material men are minimal.
And in fact, half, he says, of our casualties are from accidents. and the other half were from a lucky hit. Strategically Iran has completely blown it, he writes. Their goal was to get the surrounding states to force America and Israel to stop by attacking Iran's neighbors, and instead that made their neighbors mad, so now they're helping us. Which is true.
He also adds, as Klausfitz points out, war is simply politics with different means, and the end result will be a non-nuclear capable Iran without a ballistic missile capability. But that's not the real objective. The collateral benefits, he writes, that come from the political effect. that this war is meant to achieve. Regime change, he writes, gets a bad name from stupid people who don't know history.
And a significant number of wars throughout history have had the specific purpose of regime change. Reading the piece my friend Kurt Schlichter has at Town Hall. He said the Romans would march true into barbarian nations specifically to change the regimes. That's absolutely true. Into ones that could be allied and paid tribute.
Of course, they ended up messing it up with unfettered immigration later, but that's a different story. He says: We don't need Iran as our ally or a tributary. We just need an Iran that's not run by pagan, apocalyptic psychos who hate Jews and Americans nearly as much as Candace Owens, Illinois Mar, and Medi Hassan do. It's great. In support of a garbage agenda, he writes, to salvage defeat from the jaws of victory, because the only thing these people hate more than the idea of America winning a war against third world semi-humans is an America led by Donald Trump winning a war against third world semi-humans.
And these influencers are trying to talk you into thinking that we've lost. And that's where all the aforementioned stupid people test comes in. If they tell you that we are losing, they're stupid. And it's true. Absolutely true.
Well said. 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 even 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. 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 turn the water off, it shrinks right back down. To twee size, pocket size, so you're not wrestling this giant hose back into the garage. I know there's a million jokes to be made here, but the point 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 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 Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM.

So if you ever doubt yourself, remember. Your smile is your strength. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Yeah. It's time for Florida Man.
So I had to put this one. Apparently, a Florida bill against marrying your first cousin failed. Oh. It's uh one of 18 states where you can marry your first cousin. It's legal.
Ooh. Are they running out of No. Potential? No. Husbands and wives in Florida?
FDR married his cousin. Albert Einstein married his cousin too. I never liked FDR. It makes so much sense, man. Just saying.
So, yeah, cousin marriages. You know where else that happens?
Somalia. Yeah, it happens in Somalia too. A lot. A lot. And then Iran, and then Iraq, and then Afghanistan, and yeah.
Sick. Yeah, it's definitely. I'm not. Look, I didn't say this. The statistic said this.
I'm just saying.
So I had to bring that up as a headline. Let's see. A, oh, here. Let's, ooh, let's do. Oh, patient refuses to leave the hospital after a formal discharge.
Why would you by the way, is it just me? There is a legit hospital smell, right?
Okay, am I crazy in that If you visit a hospital and when you leave, your clothes still smell like it? That's true. How long you in? How long you're there matters. I had a huge like fun debate about this with my friend.
I was like, oh, I mean, I gotta change, like, you know, whenever I just have to change 'cause germs and it smells anyway.
So I was like, This is Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare. They're suing this patient because he won't leave. I'm assuming he. They just say the patient. They don't identify them.
It was a complaint filed this month. They said that the patient was admitted to the hospital for medical treatment. Then they determined that the patient did not need acute hospital services anymore. They had a formal discharge order, and then the patient refused to leave. They continued to occupy a room.
And I don't know. how you can do that. And that means aren't you going to have to pay? For the time that you're in there, your insurance isn't going to cover it. I mean, it's like legendary how much a Tylenol pill is in the hospital.
It's like $25 a capsule. If you want some Kleenex, it's like 50 bucks just saying, Why would you not go? Only Florida man would be like, No, I think I'm going to stay here. I'm going to use this like a ritz or something. That's what's going to happen.

So if you ever doubt yourself, remember. Your smile is your strength. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Yeah, you know, sometimes you look at the polling data, and there are numbers that just jump off the screen at you, and this is one of those. Because just take a look here: MAGA GOP view of Trump.
Approve 100%, 100%. If you are a member of MAGA and the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump. 0% say that they disapprove. You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know you. He's a sham wiser than 100%.
He is the 1972 Miami Dolphins. I think it's actually funny that they're like, it's 100%. I mean, I think that That the base supports him, and there have been numerous polls that have been taken. There's like, my last count was eight different surveys, and they all show. despite what podcastist Dan is trying to pull.
Yeah, yeah. Most people are like, yeah, we're going to trust the administration on this. But I do think 100% really, there's not like one dude out there, one chick out there who's like, mmm, I don't think so. I find that a little. I mean, it is CNN.
Yes. That guy was so going to sell me a slap chop or something. Would you think they would lean on that way, or they would just try to find some way to populate that disapproved portion of the thing? I think they were just trying to make it look ridiculous.
Well, that succeeded. Yeah. I think they were just trying to. I mean, I just think the other surveys that show. an overwhelming majority of support.
I think those are more accurate, but it's not 100%. I wouldn't expect that. I'm weirded out when I see 100% agreement on anything because you guys don't even agree with your spouses 100% of the time. Right? Like the temperature should just be a nice 70.
We don't need to go into like a 67 neighborhood. I didn't see the crosstabs on that, did you? What? Did you see the crosstabs on that by any chance? No.

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 to 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.
that there's a different way to do things. To listen to the full conversation, visit ibm.com slash smart talks. Hey, it's Sarah Spain. As a former college athlete, there were so many moments where I second-guessed myself. It's natural when you're under pressure.
And when I had those moments of self-doubt, I found that the smallest thing can steady you, like a smile. Not because it's easy, but because it reminds you. You belong here. You've put in the work. You can handle this.

So, a 2,000-year-old artifact may be evidence that Romans found the New World a thousand years before Christopher Columbus. It was an ancient Roman artifact in Mexico.
Now, there's been like stuff like this back and forth that I've heard with different things, but this is, I'm not even gonna try to pronounce it. It is a terracotta sculpture of a bearded man that was exhumed by Mexican archaeologist Jose Payon in 1933 from a repository near Mexico City. And it was buried in a sealed tomb beneath three intact floor layers of this, you know, like a ziggurat basically, alongside pottery shards, gold ornaments, things like that. And so they've been doing all this dating on it.
Now with the technology, they say it is without any doubt it's Roman. and not just with the appearance of the face on it, but Uh, apparently, the dating of it, they were able to, so now they're that's a now. How did that get there? Interesting. Was it trade?
Was it what was it? Also, U.S. adults are skipping parenting or having fewer kids, and it's actually forcing some schools to close. The U.S. birth rate has declined dramatically.
It's another way that we're just seeding the ground over to Islamism. Schools are becoming emptier. Districts are getting less public funding. And this is something like in Tennessee, there's several school districts that are dealing with this. We gotta remedy that.
That's gonna be bad in the future. Also, let's see, Webb Telescope. The James Webb telescope. They have little red dots on some of the latest things that they've surveyed and astronomers have no idea what they are. Aliens.
Aliens. So they just call them R L R D's for little red dots. It's the most powerful space telescope ever made, and there are these weird cosmic anomalies that just look like small little, like, um. bright red, like heat points almost. And they don't understand what it is.
They say it's not the first time that it's happened, but it is strange.
So, everything, you know, first time like that in space, it's very hmm. Straight skiers rescued after spelling SOS with ice blocks from a frozen lake. Interesting. Ooh. Archaeologists discovered evidence of a 2,000-year-old machine gun.
and the damage that it did. Told ya, it was used during the Roman conquest of Pompeii, originally invented in the classical era Greece. The weapon used a chain drive to fire darts rapidly. Interesting. Bethany Frankl here from Just Be with Bethany Frankl, and I am just going to say it.
