What is going to destroy democracy? The fact that we're merely asking, hey, Do you mind maybe perhaps showing an ID when to vote? Do you maybe perhaps mind? Did you guys see the latest with the Airport lines. I know you guys did.
In Atlanta. Uh I mean name a big Name a big airport. And you can check out those insane security lines. Because they're refusing to just do the most basic thing possible, which is what this is. This is not like no one's saying make Trump dictator or let's destroy the Constitution.
No, it's they're simply saying, hey, can we maybe, perhaps? have I D to show because I think we've seen enough stories of voter fraud. over the past Gosh, however long? How long has it been? Forever, our whole lives.
We all know stories of voter fraud. I was telling you how. Uh at one point For instance, just to use myself as an example. I was telling you how at one point. We had someone who was uh registered illegally.
to vote at my home address. And we had to take big issue. With the uh Elections board over that. And it's not like a super easy thing to do. And then you have to go back and babysit them to make sure it's actually done.
It was a big ordeal.
So, I mean, we all know that voter fraud exists. To what the question has always been to what. Degree, right? That's always been the question. To what degree does voter fraud?
exists. And this is all about protecting that vote. It's about protecting the vote. Plain and simple.
So I don't know. There's no reason for them to be doing this. They're only doing this. To Really, they think this is going to help them out, which it's not going to. But this is all so that they can they want voters.
They want voters. That's all it is. Welcome to the radio program, Dana Lash, with you. It's an insane week. This week is insane.
There's so much happening. I know. No. My week started actually Friday night. My I have not had a break.
Your girl had a working weekend.
So it's... To me, it's an extended month. It's like this is Wednesday that's going to last for several days.
So it's crazy. And uh We're going to get you set up because they're dealing with the uh continued debate for the uh a save act. They're continuing with this debate, so we're going to follow all of that because that's what they're fighting with right now. in the Senate. And so far they've failed to advance it.
That which you know. and then you've seen the fallout from that. Yeah, and like I said, they sit with uh the airports in Atlanta? Four hours. They're saying to get there four hours.
ahead of time. That's insane. That's absolutely insane.
So, welcome to the radio program, Dana Lash with you. We're gonna dive into all of that. We're also gonna get into some of the latest with Iran because it looks like, wow, I mean, a total shocker here. Trump was correct. We've got some of those stories, the exact type of missiles that Iran launched.
were the exact type of missiles where people were saying. Those don't exist anymore. Those missiles don't exist. They don't have them. Iran doesn't have them.
Trust Iran. Take them for their. Take them for their truth. Yeah, I don't think so.
So, that's we're gonna get into all of that as well.
So, like I said, happy Monday. Geez, this is a crazy week already. In addition to Iran, you also have the poverty tourism in Cuba that took place over the weekend. We're gonna dive into that as well.
So, first and foremost, let me just go back to this thing. I saw this. Why, by the way, why in the world? I I don't give a rat's ass. What Piers Morgan says.
He's a British person. I don't care what some foreigner thinks. About what's happening in my country. If you don't pay taxes here, if you can't vote, I don't care. I don't care what your opinion is.
I don't care why. I don't know why. I don't go over to Britain and weigh into their politics, but whatever. He was one of those people who's always been questioning, you know, with the stuff with Iran.
So he unfortunately had to retweet one of the stories that was discuss discussing how Iran proved its missiles can reach far beyond the Middle East. Do we have the map of that? By the way, out of curiosity, there was a map. That shows you just how far we were only told. That, what, 2,000 miles, they could go 2,000 miles perhaps.
That's that's what we we're told. And now I think they can go 4,000 and intercontinental is what, 440?
So When you look at the map, the range map of how far they can send these, I mean, you're talking about getting into Europe. They can hit the UK. They can hit Germany, they can hit Italy, they hit Greece, and this is just. Yeah. They weren't even supposed to have this capability.
They lied. All of this time they lied. They lied this entire time. Which is anyone shocked by any of this? No, we're not shocked.
I mean Oh golly.
So With these two intermediate range Ballistic missiles. They were fired at Diego Garcia, which is that joint base with the UK and US, and that sits 4,000 miles away in the middle of the Indian Ocean. That thing can reach it. They just proved.
So they have intermediate range. They're I mean Who's to say that they don't have the capability to do more at this point?
Now imagine a nuke warhead on that.
Now you see, this is what Trump was talking about. and Rubio, when they were explaining. These are the stockpiles. This is what you have to be concerned over. It's these right here.
And now it looks like Trump was, of course, I mean, you know, he wasn't making this up, he was right the entire time. Absolutely correct. He also put down Laid down the law and said that they're going to have a five-day period. He puts a post out saying that they have negotiations that are going well and making it sound like Iran is coming to the negotiating table because he was saying, well, listen, this is cut three. Listen to Trump here.
Good to get together today. Uh by probably phone because it's very hard to find the country it's very hard for them to get out, I guess. But uh we'll at some point very very soon meet. We're doing a five-day period. We'll see how that goes.
And if it goes well, we're going to end up with uh settling this. Otherwise, we'll just keep bombing our little hearts out. Yeah. We're going to just keep bombing our little hearts out.
Well, true. We can. We have the capability to do so. Good.
So now they're coming to the table.
Now they're coming to the table to negotiate.
So we'll see what we get out of this. And in the meantime... He says this. He's talking about the Strait of Ormuz.
So, this was the other big discussion. Who's going to run this? Who's running? The straight. Who is going to be in charge?
This is cut two. Listen to POTUS here. They have. Thank you. What about the Singapore moves?
Who's going to be in control of the movie? That'll be opened very soon if this works. How soon? And who control of it? Will Iran still be able to control the flow of oil?
Be jointly controlled. Like a Maybe me. Maybe me. Me and the Ayatollah, whoever the Ayatollah is, whoever the next Ayatollah. Look.
That could be anybody at this point. It's whoever Iranians pick. That's you know, it's it's whoever they pick.
So We um We're going to continue watching this because they have this five-day period, they got a five-day period. Are they going to use the whole five? I don't know. We'll see. But he says.
that he's going to take out their grid. He's going to put them in darkness. When he said that, they started coming to the table.
So he has these new outlines, these new demands. That he's making in these negotiations.
So they tried to be hard at the first time around with negotiations.
Now he's like, I want everything down to your nuclear dust.
Now, Iran's media is trying to say, oh, look, it looks like Trump is caving and walking back. I don't know what kind of mental abortion you have to undergo in order to come to that conclusion. But that's not what's happening at all. It also looks like there was intercession by Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan. Let me pull this piece up.
A couple of different reports. Apparently, there have been efforts by Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey to postpone the Hormuz ultimatum. They're trying to seek a diplomatic end to this. But apparently, they were working to buy time before the ultimatum expires. They said they were speaking with Iran's foreign minister and separately Witkoff, and they were discussing the solution regarding not just the strait, but also ending the conflict.
And so he's got a five. We've got a five-day postponement of the ultimatum. But that doesn't mean that there's any kind of an agreement reached. It just means you have five days to come to an agreement. Otherwise, we're going to bomb the holy hell out of you.
That's what's going to happen. We are going to turn you into just little craters. That's what will end up happening.
So that's essentially what Trump is saying. He said, so we're, because the ultimatum was expiring, so now you have this five-day period.
Now, one of the things that they were asking, or two, several of the things that they were asking, is that they want, obviously, no nukes, no nuclear weapons. I think the litmus was not even close to it. Low-key. missiles, peace in the Middle East. They want nuclear dust.
no enrichment, and they want any and all enriched uranium. That was the other thing that they had asked. They had demanded, do we have this? Yeah, play this is what, because he was asked about this when he was getting on Marine, well, it was Marine 1, I believe. And he was going through every listen to this.
This is what how he this is how he told the press. I think, was this? Oh, wait, no, I think this was. Oh, wait, no, this is the wrong cut. I don't think we have this.
So he was telling the press this. and explaining all right this is what This is what we're asking so far. And he says, you know, if it's great, if it happens, it's great. Iran can build itself back. It's everything they say they want, it's what we want, etc.
They also said that it was great for Saudis, you know, UAE, Qatar, etc. We have a lot more on the way as we move towards headlines. Our partners that will bring you the program. It's the folks over at Burn A Gun. I've told you a million times, but I'll say it again.
I always carry. You guys get it, right? I mean, giggity glock o'clock. I will literally, you know. I have no problem defending myself.
But here's the thing, you're sometimes denied that right. Unconstitutionally, of course, especially by entities that refuse to provide you with the proper adequate security, but they expect you to be a sitting duck.
So, you have gun-free zones, you've got municipal private property. There's a lot of college kids that are old enough to carry full auto overseas, but they're not old enough to carry semi-auto nine-millimeter here at home to protect themselves.
So, what do you do when you're denied your constitutional right of self-protection? You diversify, right? You have different calibers, you even have blades, you got rifles, pistols, the whole thing. But you need to be able to have a backup for that backup, and that's where Burner gun comes in. Burner shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away.
And the compact launcher, I know they have other models. I'm not talking to you about the other models right now. I don't care. Compact launcher is the only one that you need to look at for this purpose. CL for short.
It shoots the same thing, chemical irritant projectiles. But here's the kicker: it has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. When you compare that to an average stun gun, you got one or two rounds. This is 15 rounds, so that's very, very different. Also, it's not a gun, doesn't care about gun-free zone signs.
They're invisible to the burner gun because not a gun. You order it online. There's no background checks. There's no waiting fees. There's no permits.
And they send it right to your front porch.
So it's all about being prepared and having options, diversifying your weapons array to take control of your safety. Visit Burna.com/slash Dana. Check out the Burna C-L-B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Dana. Ready when you are. 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 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.
So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it. We say, you can leverage what we did. We are 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. The Bleacher Report app is your destination for sports.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
So Wikipedia has banned a prolific editor after an investigation revealed that he was responsible for over 1 million pro-Hamas edits on the site. This is your reminder that Wikipedia is hot pig feces. It's actually inadmissible in most classrooms and it is inadmissible in a court of law. I hate Wikipedia. And whenever I'm forced to go there and I see that little pop-up where they're begging for money like poor pimps, I just exit out and I laugh.
because Wikipedia is garbage, case in point. My book publisher? Which was a huge publisher. The last one that I had, they had to fight. with a s stupid products of incest, leftist.
That they just like they're they swarm Wikipedia and they constantly edit everything. They would not allow my own book publisher to add. uh my newest title to Wikipedia. And like they have a bunch of it. My Wikipedia page is maybe about 70% accurate.
That's how bad it is. And they always try to use like the most ignorant photo of you they can find. It's just horrible.
So, just you know, they can all just burn in an AIDS fire, rhetorically speaking, of course. Uh, let's see, moving on. Is it uh in New York? Oh, this was discovered that AOC spent $19,000 in campaign cash on a psychiatrist known for ketamine therapy. Hmm.
Yeah, $19,000. of campaign cash. On A shrink who does ketamine therapy. $19,000 on a shrink. Yeah.
Is that an a how is that an I say she'd take some time off from government and get the help she needs. Yeah, it sounds, I mean, if you're spending that much on that, that I don't know. And also, campaign cash, though, isn't that like a federal election, campaign, a federal campaign election? finance violation, it seems like it, that would be. Uh let's see, uh deadly drugs are changing.
Apparently now there's like 19 or 10 different concoctions sprayed into a single sheet.
So you don't need pills or needles anymore. They actually put things on like actual paper and that now. And in fact, there was a I saw ABC story, but X. Constantly, you know, refreshes, but apparently there was a Barbie and the packaging that ended up having fentanyl on the outside packaging. Yeah, we got a lot more in store.
Stick with us. 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 vests, 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 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 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.

Hey, it's Howie Mandel, and I am inviting you to witness history as me and my Howie-Do-It gaming team take on Gilly the King and Wallow 267's Million Dollars Gaming in an epic Global Gaming League video game showdown. Four rounds, multiple games, one winner, plus a halftime performance by multi-platinum artist Travi McCoy. Watch all the action and see who wins and advances to the championship match against NEO right now at globalgaming league.com.
That's globalgaming league.com. Everybody games. These are ICE agents being deployed to different airports. to help with the long lines. Oh my gosh, I wouldn't want to fly right now.
Because the lines are crazy. This is... They're in New Jersey to assist with the long because they're used to a lot of, you gotta remember, ICE is used to doing a lot of this stuff because the equipment at the border. running things through those checkpoints, running things through entry. That's That's all part of their purview, so it kind of makes sense.
But they're assisting with some of the long lines. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you right now. Top of this third hour I am I mean, I'm kind of glad I'm not flying anywhere right at this particular moment because that is asinine. I can't even imagine trying to get somewhere.
through all of that. And it feels like it's at like a certain number of airports. I was talking to a friend who was telling me that DFW. wasn't really as Bad as some of the other ones. And I don't know why.
That's Dallas-Fort Worth. I don't know why. They're just not as bad as some of these other ones. What did you say, Kane? I feel like I'm making you read that out loud.
It was only meant for off-air. But TSA's only training is to backhand your genitals.
Now there are some agents that are nice that I've met amongst along my journeys, and then I've met some real bad ones too. Yeah. Real bad ones, it's and actually, it's like why I don't like flying through Phoenix, Sky Harbor anymore. Because we had, I had a really, I think the woman knew who I was. This was some years ago.
And pulled me out. And we got there, thankfully, like three hours. Before Our flight, which it was just, and I think this was just going to St. Louis before, this was, I think, before we moved to Texas. and um going through Phoenix Sky Harbor.
And Uh they pulled me out randomly and then I had to stand there for like a half hour. Before they would allow me to move, no shoes or anything. They just, this woman, they pulled me out and made me stand there for like a half hour. And um Then they finally said, okay, we're going to do a more enhanced screening.
So I was swabbed and everything and they kept acting like You know, I was wearing pants that literally did not have. It was like an elastic waistband, like a big flat band, and it didn't even. I didn't even have like a button or anything, and they kept acting like something kept triggering. And then they swabbed my hands. And um They had to do a full pat down, which I made them do publicly.
And they got that made them mad. And all in all, It By the time they were finished, I am not joking you, it was like an hour and a half. And I'm like, I'm never going through this airport again. And I kept telling the woman, like, I hope I don't miss my flight. And then she goes, well, you should have gotten here earlier.
And I go, I got here three hours earlier. Like, why do you get to be a bitch just because you wear a badge? Hell no Thanks and these people forgot how this country got started. But no, we ain't doing that. Oh, it's just bit my head off.
And I hadn't, I was like too shocked to have even be a smart alec at that time. Like, I just cannot believe this is taking that long. And I go, well, you know, I hope this doesn't last so long that we miss our flight. And this was after like an hour into it, still at the checkpoint, still there the whole time. Phoenix Sky Harbor, by the way.
And there were other people that were going through, like, what in the world is going on? Nobody else got pulled through and got what got that. And yeah, that's when she bit my head off. She's like, Well, you should have gotten here earlier. And I go, Ma'am, we got here three hours before our flight.
I said, is that customary? For a domestic flight that literally maybe lasts two hours to get here more than three hours.
So you guys can sit here and do whatever it is you're doing with this. enhanced background, whatever, this enhanced security check. And then she goes, and then she bit my head off again. She goes, Well, I suggest you keep your mouth closed if you want to make your flight. And I go, Is that a threat?
My girl, you could. And then she threatened to have police brought over because I said that. Absolute bitch.
So, I do not go through, I will absolutely not fly through Sky Harbor at Phoenix ever again. I have not ever again. I've had invitations to go to Phoenix. will not fly out there. I have said no to everything in Arizona.
That's why. Because it was that bad. And Then they didn't even tell me I could leave. And then, after I guess, was everything was done, then another guy who was a really nice guy came over and said, Ma'am, you can get your stuff. You're free to go.
And I'm like, Well, thanks for telling me. Because I sat there apparently for God knows how long waiting to be cleared, and they didn't even have the courtesy to come tell me. Hour and a half, hour and a half at the same checkpoint. Yeah, I'm still mad about it. Because then we had to like get to the gate.
And at that point, my gosh. We were gonna get lunch before we left, couldn't eat so because it took so long.
So we'll never do that again.
Now, I've been through some TSA checks where they're super nice and they're just like doing their jobs and you. You know, like I said, one of my friends that I know works, like overseas TSA stuff at DFW. And they're like the nicest people. Never have any issue. Everybody's super nice.
They smile. They're friendly. You know, I've seen, I've watched them be very, very kind to elderly travelers, especially when you're going through the checkpoints and you don't know, okay, this is the new machine. You don't have to take all of your stuff out of the bag. This is an older machine.
You do have to take all, you know, liquids and stuff out. And they're so nice in explaining it.
So, you know, I mean, there's good ones out there, but I have had, I think, the great misfortune there for a little bit of being like picked on, it feels like, by some of the real bad ones that were out there that really, like got, that really were feeling the effects of their authority. That said, there have been some that have, like throughout this shutdown, that are doing their jobs and keeping their heads down and working through to get people processed. You know what I said earlier? I mean, you guys know I feel like federal income taxes, well, I don't feel like it is, it's actual government sanctioned theft. But how asinine is it?
Now, they're going to get back pay. But then there's going to be a big old chunk taken out because they're going to have to pay taxes on their back pay, of course. I feel like you shouldn't have to. If you're working for free and then you get back pay, I feel like you should be honestly, I feel like you should be exempt from paying tax on that. Because they're going through a hardship right now.
A lot of them.
So I get that, you know, and this all, and the reason why. Because of people like Chuck Schumer in the Senate, because of Democrats in the Senate. Do you know how many different of these plans Republicans have put forward? Expecting Democrats to finally come to their senses and sign off on them. They can't water this thing down any more than it's been watered down.
But Democrats have made it very clear they're not going to compromise on anything unless you remove. The voter ID requirement. End of. That's insane. Just That's inexcusable.
But that's where we are.
So I hope people remember who causes this, who's caused all of this. I really hope they, I really hope they do. Uh a few other things to touch on here. As we are getting your set up. For The week.
Because we have the ongoing, obviously, situation with Iran, and we had the fact that they used these missiles, and everybody. They Trump was right on it. He was absolutely correct. And now here we are. I was also looking at this too with the Strait of Hormuz.
And there was, in fact, one of the biggest websites that gets into maritime news and shipping and all that stuff. Uh it's over at uh I think it's called The Captain. uh G captain. Uh it's a run by a guy who's a merchant marine. And This is really good because they're talking about the Strato Hormuz and POTUS.
Has been pretty tough on this stuff, and now Iran's acting like they're coming to the negotiating table. But I remember when Trump got when he first got into office that very first month. Do you guys remember the very first thing he dispatched to Marco Rubio to go do? Go down there to the Panama Canal. Remember that?
We cover that like that a whole week. Uh he went to the Panama Canal and was talking with the Panamanian government. and pushing back against China, because China was apparently flexing and And essentially trying to unofficially annex certain parts of the canal to pretend that they run. You know, they have their, what is it, C.K. Hutchinson holdings down there.
And Marco Rubio went down there to set some things straight and to secure a new agreement with Panama. It was successful. You know, and then He went to, then he was dealing with Suez, dealing with Argentina, and then now you have the Greenland situation. He apparently started investigations into Gibraltar and Spain. And then Uh you have the uh uh now you have the situation with uh straight-of-war moves all of these choke points That was his first Focus.
Where all of these choke points? That starts to make sense, especially when you see China's flex on all of this. And how they've been working with some of these influencers to push this idea. Of multipolarity. Oh, China is as big and as successful as the United States, so it's a multipolar world, but it's not.
Multipolar multipolarity, you don't need to read a book about it. It just means Western diminishment.
So, people who argue for multipolarity are arguing for diminishment of American strength and Western diminishment overall. That's what that means. You don't need a multi-polarity, multiple poles of power. That's it. And there isn't, but that's a narrative that they've been promoting.
And I noticed that it really started kicking in pretty hardcore after he really started focusing in on these choke points, particularly the ones that China was really trying to egregiously overextend themselves at. That's a fascinating, just put all of that out there.
Now it starts to make, you can see how it's making sense. John Conrad had wrote uh had written About how Mike Waltz was the creator of Ships for America Act, head of NSC. And they had a maritime office in the White House, and so they had maritime advocates that were appointed. during the at the beginning of this administration. And then in April 25, directed the Maritime Executive Order, directed a Maritime Action Plan across Defense, State, Transportation and Homeland Security.
And Conrad noted that It was very successful and it was very ambitious. because Trump very much cares about restoring America's maritime strength, right? But the pushback. was really, really extreme. and how countries were lining up.
uh to protest the uh China shipping tariffs and things like that. And The influence that they were fighting And this is you have the U.S. trade representative. They were lining up to complain about all of this and to complain about some of the moves that Trump had been making. And the tech sector was asking China for concessions.
Et cetera. And then China wanted a pause to the representative of the USTR. Then you had SignalGate, he notes, which that's when the media was leaking private conversations about attacking the Houthis and reopening the Red Sea. And by the way, Joe Kent was involved in SignalGate, just FYI. And SignalGate forced a reorganization, Conrad writes.
And Waltz was moved to the UN. The maritime office was downsized. The NSC was gutted. And the maritime initiative began to stall. And then, when Panama did not follow through on that free transit for U.S.
ships, that $20 billion CMA-CGM commitment fell through. And then the company ordered vessels from China and India instead. And then Congress began stalling on the Ships Act. And then you had the UK with the Chagos Islands, and that includes Diego Garcia. And they had a sweetheart trade deal, and they put one of our critical base at one of our bases at critical risk.
And then you had Navy appointees. Remember, we've had headlines about that. They've been. Flow rolled or blocked in the Senate. And then you see the stuff with Lloyd's and the war risk.
I mean, they are doing everything that they can to thwart Trump trying to improve American maritime might. There are so many things that are lining up against him. Even think about it, the uh uh The global green news scam tax on shipping is what Trump called it. That is when the European Union claimed that American maritime interests were irrelevant. And now they wanted to have all of these, they wanted net zero and they wanted to put a global carbon pricing mechanism on every single ship that's over 5,000 tons.
The U.S. walked right out of that. We weren't even going to play with it. And then the State Department said any country that voted yes is going to get sanctioned on this because they were designed to try to kneecap us. in in with shipping.
And so fifty-seven countries voted to delay the vote.
Now it didn't kill that carbon tax on ships, but it did make it, it neutralized it temporarily. This is the stuff.
Now it's all coming into play. He's using the last part of this term. To do everything that a Republican president should be doing in the first place. And he doesn't have the sort of Damocles, another election over his head. He doesn't have that.
So it feels like he's going full steam ahead, knowing that this is probably the closest we're going to get to be able to do any of this stuff. We'll talk more about that because midterms might kneecap us. Our partners that help bring you the program, it's the folks over at American Financing, America's Home for Home Loans.

I recently spoke with IBM's new Director of Research, Jake M. Bata. 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.

Apparently. This uh Oh, it's not going to open, so I'm going to go to the. Oh, no, here it is. An unhinged Florida woman beat a pregnant driver and attacked an elderly bystander and then bit a cop. Interroad rage rampage.
So woman good night. Uh thirty-seven oh oh thirty seven. She looks like she got hit too. Uh Mandel her name is Mandelin. M-A-N-D-O-L-Y-N.
Is your mother a stripper mandolin? Mandalyn Brockwell was accused of unleashing the traffic-fueled tirade in the middle of a busy Orlando roadway. And apparently, there is video showing the woman jumping out of her white Kia, charging towards a white SUV, trying to jump under the hood, ripping open the driver's door, and pummeling the woman inside. The victim, who apparently was pregnant and had a kid in the car while being hit in the face, said it began after she honked at the suspect, who kept repeatedly and abruptly stopping her vehicle and refused to let her change lanes. And oh my gosh.
So then a 68-year-old woman at a nearby light saw what was happening, tried to intervene, and then the suspect screamed at her to get back and then clawed her at the face. And then another man tried to step in between them and the unhinged woman went back to her car screaming. And the older woman got a cut on her eye, like right beneath her eye. And then when they tried to arrest, Mandolin. She bit the cop.
So she's in big trouble. Uh and they showed her being loaded into a squad car, so I just don't. Even No, I just can't. I there's a snow. Woman, come on.
Also, a Pensacola oh, golly, a Pensacola woman was charged because she urinated on furniture and all these Airbnbs. Uh okay. Why? A thirty-one-year-old woman. Nicolette Keogh.
Urinated on furniture in two Airbnb homes in Pensacola. Apparently, she caused thousands of dollars worth of property damage. They said she ruined all of this, appliances, furniture, a typewriter. Why'd you pee on a typewriter? Ca I mean this is Why would I ask the question, it's Florida woman.
You know, I mean, come on. By the way, CBS channel 12. I hope that your website is hacked because it's so bad with all of your stupid pop-ups that I actually want to hack it myself. It is so bad, all of you should, I would throw all of you in jail. Because your website is so bad.
President Dana would throw you in jail forever, never to see your families again, because your pop-ups are so bad. Uh anyway, uh she was arrested because that's nasty. That's like bio warfare. In a way. Really?
It really is. It's like bio-warfare. That's just Just awful. Apparently, it was a coffee maker, a typewriter, a toaster. Applied various appliances, various furniture, an antique chair, like she really hated that chair.
It's like a dog, like dogs have better control. A Florida plastic surgeon was arrested after the patient found a sex assault video on her phone. This guy is a creeper. The South Florida doctor is now in jail. Because Apparently, he recorded it on her own phone.
And Well, she she was recording, I guess, while she was out. Yeah. Donald DeMayo was taken into custody at 63 years old. The 29-year-old victim said that she was at his office for a cosmetic procedure. She was given a glass of wine by staff.
I think if you're having surgery, would you not Yeah. And then she inhaled nitro. And then uh She remembers him entering the room and closing the blinds. And then she said she like woke up to him assaulting her.

This is a job for Indeed Sponsored Jobs. Uh Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. To anyone who's ever looked up to the streaks in the sky and asked, What the heck is going on? We're seeing headlines about private actors. And even governments looking to blot out the sun in the name of stopping global warming.
We've endeavored to answer all of your questions at the links on your screen. In fact, EPA shares many of the same concerns. when it comes to potential threats to human health and the environment. especially from solar geoengineering activities. The enthusiasm for experiments that would pump pollutants into the high atmosphere.
has set off alarm bells here at the Trump EPA. Prior to now, EPA has never been this proactive to raise awareness about concerns with geoengineering. and to stop this activity from being scaled up. This is what it looks like when government actually I think this video is like a year old. I mean, and when I was looking at this.
It doesn't seem like, it does not look like he's confirming that there are chemtrails. By the way, those are contrails. No, that was 25 seconds of a three-minute clip. I mean There's chemtrails. I don't know why you're denying it.
Well, that's because when that stuff is warm and it's released into the atmosphere at that level, the air is cold and it's not a problem. Yeah, no one's denying contrails exist, but you're denying chemtrails exist. And that's pretty much that's silly. No, it's not. I don't think it is at all.
It is. But I think that that's like an older video, but... The contrails, that's just like literal. normal jet exhaust. I mean, what is the evidence of chemical spraying?
You mean the sulfur dioxide and the stuff that they've uh at the HPA? Yeah, because this came out a year ago and the stuff in the report didn't actually support what he's saying in the video. What are you talking about? Of course it did. They've definitely taken samples out of the upper atmosphere, and they definitely have found chemicals that don't occur naturally in the upper atmosphere.
Kane hates old people and he also believes in chemtrails. And he also is the biggest investor in tinfoil that you will ever have to do. I do have a few stocks in tinfoil. Big deal. I mean, I want there to be chemtrails.
Because if there's I do, here's why. No, no, I want tons of them. And then maybe I'll consider, which I'm never going to, taking office by force. I won't run for office. I'll just conquer it by force because I'm not going to do an election.
Yeah, I'll take it by force. And then what I'm going to do is try to figure out how to uh aerosolize taste. and then like actual good taste and common sense. And then I'm going to load that up into jet and I'm going to fly jets all over this nation and chemtrail the hell out of everything.
So taste as an aesthetic. Yes, good taste, logic, and common sense, and hopefully infect people. That's what I'm going to do. I've I'm very much like you don't believe in chemtrails, huh? No, I don't.
Wow.
No, I mean, I'm not a zealot. If you're like, here's Dana, here is literally like, look at this jet right here. Let's climb into this jet. Let's fly into the sky. And I want you personally to dump whatever the hell it is into the atmosphere.
Then I'll be like, okay, well, there's some stuff in there. Let me do a test on the stuff in that you're spraying.
Okay, it's chemicals. All right. It's all the stuff that you're saying. Man, I really hope you put something in. They're not going to do that.
I'm gonna the stuff I send you, you just dismiss. Don't you dismiss you? You just dismiss the stuff I send you. I just I mean, the EPA literally said I mean, they it's weird because he says the EPA, but then it they just said that no, that's not exactly it's like on their website and it cites the actual report that he's talking about. I don't think that people read the report, folks.
I knew that I had turned into an adult when I got excited about laundry detergent. I didn't think I was actually going to get excited about laundry products, but here we are.
So, I don't know if you've heard of laundry sauce. This is legit what I use. And I have this one. They sent me because I've been purchasing this for several years now on my own. And the French saffron is like my absolute favorite.
The bergamot is so good. And I love that I don't have to think about any of it. The smell alone is next level. I mean, this is one.
So, this is the Indonesian patchouli. And at first, I was like, I don't want to smell like a hippie. But then I opened the box and it's amazing. Look how bougie this is, too, by the way. Kane, have you smelled this?
I have it. Do you want to eat one? I'm kidding. Oh gosh. Oh It smells so good!
This is like what clean is supposed to smell like, and everything is so soft, and it's so nice. I have eczema and I have no problems in using any of their stuff. But here's like what really sold me. I mean, first off, You have these pre-measured pods, right, that you just saw, one and done. There's no guessing with it.
But also, I really like the scent-boosting chips that they have. And you can get it in the Australian sandalwood, the Italian bergamot, the Egyptian rose, French saffron. I mean, clean, warm. It's just the greatest scent ever. But like I said, you don't have to overthink any of it.
The pre-measured pods, the scent chips, there's no mess, no guessing. It's super easy. And they have all of these extras with it. I mean, you have the dryer sheets, you have, like I said, the scent boosters, the liquid fabric softener, and your clothes feel incredible. And the dryer sheets, Which I have here, they just lock absolutely everything in.
I mean, it smells clean and soft, and that you actually care about your laundry. All the guests at my house love the way everything smells. And I know I'm not the only one, by the way, because apparently 90% of people feel the same way after they switch to laundry sauce.
Now, here's the deal. Laundry sauce just landed in Target, or you can say Target. You can find it in select stores, or you can do what I do and grab everything online, including the boosters and the conditioner and more.

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. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there. What's worse, being understaffed or being poorly staffed?

Trump places the Christopher Columbus statue near the White House. He's placed a statue of the Explorer in a Sunday press release, the conference of presidents of major Italian organizations.
If a very long name, C-O-P-O-M-I-A-O. They said the statue, a replica of one that originally stood in Baltimore, now stands on the White House grounds in celebration of Italian American history and culture. I'm waiting for people to protest it, Kane. It's a matter of time. You know that's coming.
Uh also in addition to that We have somehow a North Carolina driver didn't notice his truck smashing over a dozen bridges. on the New York Thoroughway, but apparently police did. The low clearance stuff, right? Uh, yeah, this apparently truck driver spent an entire Tuesday afternoon. hitting all of these infrastructures with his truck.
Because it actually was bigger than the yeah. It hit him every single one. It hit over 12 bridges for 60 miles. That's a lot.
So he ended up, they stopped him and they're like, guys, guys, my guy, come on. They said he was a reckless and ignorant driver and his behavior has consequences. I don't know if he is.
