Welcome to the program. Can we talk about the poverty tourism? Let's, are we, are we getting in? Yeah, that's what I have here.
Okay, poverty tourism. I don't know if you guys saw this. I told you how I think it was, um Cuba that decided that they they went full on net zero. Right? And You had code pink.
Uh Hassan Piker. And a bunch of other leftists that decided to fly first class down to Cuba. Because they wanted to break the blockade, they said, whatever that means. What are you talking about? That's what's some of the stuff they were chanting.
It's some of the dumbest things I've ever heard. They decided it looks like poverty tourism.
So they flew first class down to Cuba, and one of the Bronze that Does she look like Simplejat? She's one of those code pink ladies that looks like Simplejat. They showed off their first class air their first class seats. And they were talking about how they were going down there, how Trump and America are so mean, and they were going down. to the United States or they're going down to Cuba and they they were going to help Cuba out.
Well, how do they help Cuba out exactly?
Now you know that they've been having blackouts. According to everything online and these people what they posted themselves. Uh the guy who electrocutes his dog and the code Pink Broads. They decided they were staying at a five-star hotel. And apparently They had electricity and all the poor's don't.
That's like pretty fitting though for communists. That's kind of what communists do. They This is exactly what they do: Champagne socialists, the limousine liberals.
So they went to, they stayed in a five-star hotel. I'm like, what hotel was it? And, oh, yeah, you had the daughter of Illinois Marr. Of course, you do. You had that Nepo baby.
Her parents are cousins. I mean, that keeps it simple for holidays and that when you have just only one set of grandparents because your parents are probably siblings. You had, uh oh, and a lefty Irish hip-hop group, which is hysterical. And they stayed in a five-star hotel, and then the Irish hip-hop group played a concert in the capital. And then they all got together on this little What is it, like one of those little open top buses?
And they were throwing food to people in the streets. And the kids, I'm not kidding you guys, I swear I'm not making this up. And the kids were running towards the vehicles to get the food, and then Piker and everybody, they were recording it. for their social media accounts. Yeah, and then some people were quite upset.
That they were staying in a five-star. Hotel, while there was a literal blackout everywhere else. There was a Cuban who filled himself going to their hotel in Havana, in Havana, where the Code Pink lefties were staying. And they had a big generator apparently, and so the five-star hotel had full power. I don't have any words for this.
This is one of the dumbest things ever. Listen, oh, and then they did a mural. Can we play 24, please? This is cut 24. They.
They decided that I I don't know, the mural is gonna turn all the power back on in Cuba, watch this. I I am helping to leave a gift and vision of Kumwanidad. This is the mural for humanity, and it's going to have little boats with notes in it and love. I didn't awkward. Thank you.
You see how I volunteered to go to the bird on the other side? There'll be fishes and sea life here. Come up with all over the United States. Yeah. They're helping.
I are helping.
So that turns all the power back on for the Cubans, right? The mural that that they that they painted? I don't know. If there is Okay guys, you know what? There is white privilege.
That's it. I just saw it.
Some white privilege. Oh my gosh. Oh, just we're painting some fishes. And this little boats, do you think that those people who literally were running in the streets after your au after your little Potemobile, as you did your poverty tourism trip, Do you think that they care about the boats and fishes on the dumb wall? I don't think they do.
What in the world? What is that going to do? Nothing. No one gives a rat's backside. But then, this is what Hassan Piker.
Now, remember, Hassan Piker is a Nepo baby, the chunk younger, or whatever that dude's name is, that's his nephew. And he, this is also white privilege. Watch this, this is cut 23. It's incredible. It's truly one of my favorite places officially.
I totally understand why Will was saying that about Cuba. They're getting attacked. It's remarkable. The people's resilience is remarkable. There's like rolling blackouts that take place throughout the day, every day, all around the country, right?
11 million people. But today is a beautiful day out here. It's like. 75 degrees, sunny. People are partying.
People are partying the streets. No, they're not. I don't know if it's like an island mindset. I don't know if it's like. I don't know if that has something to do with it.
I'm sure that has something to do with it, but like. They're just chilling.
So I was looking at this. He wore a $700 shirt. When he was in Cuba. The shirt that he wore is a $700 shirt. in Cuba.
He wore that too. Cuba. I just, that's more than what a family of four would earn in what, Kane. I don't even know. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, in Cuba. I mean that's like what a year? Yeah, that's that's at least half a year. The shirt that he wore, let me pull this up. Oh, sorry, $690.
But I'm assuming, like, with taxes and all of that. That I dropped a thing in there. I'm assuming that it's up above $700. It's called the Red Inferno shirt. It's made by Glass Cypress.
And he wore that. He wore an actual seven hundred dollar shirt. To go on his poverty tourism trip to Cuba. And then he was complaining because people were attacking him. for again poverty tourism and then staying in a five-star hotel.
while they had rolling blackouts. I Juan's getting ready to show you the shirts. It is. Crazy the tone deafness.
So you have the Code Pink Broads, Marjorie Taylor Greene's best friends. And then you have Hassan Piker, this is the shirt. That's a $700 shirt. He's literally wearing the equivalent of one year's Wages for a family of four in Cuba on his person on his second day in Havana. Is that that's white privilege?
That is actually white privilege. Coming up, I'm gonna show you how. Oh, you know who else was there? I almost forgot. Kane, do you know who else was on the poverty tourism trip?
Greta Thunberg. Oh, it's Greta Thunberg. She who was also there came. Why was she there? Who the hell knows why she was there?
I thought she cared about global warming or some nonsense. And then it was all Gaza, Gaza, now she's in Cuba. Is she just a professional bitch? Is that what she does? Folks, I knew that I 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 haven't. 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, um, 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, they 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.

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. 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.

Have you guys seen this? This is a, it's American Girl Doll with a hijab. This is 32, cut 32. This is the new thing. Did you guys see this?
Eid al-Fatur marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, reflection, and kindness. On Eid, we wear our best clothes to celebrate a fresh start. Eid starts with a special prayer at the mosque or in the community. We greet everyone by saying Eid Mubarak, which means blessed Eid. After prayer, it's time to eat.
Eid meals often include sweet dishes like sheer kerma, dates, or halvapuri. Sharing food with family is one of the best parts after a month of fasting from sunrise to sunset. A fun Eid tradition is giving and receiving Eidi. It's usually money or a small gift from loved ones to celebrate the day. Giving is an important part of Eid.
We donate to help others so everyone can celebrate too. Eid Mubarak. What's uh is the old man husband not is is it included? with the arranged marriage. Is the 70-year-old and mom that she's marrying included?
By the way, What they didn't tell you is that they had the special prayer that's separated in the women's only section because she can't go. That's separated, so that's also a thing. Is the female genital mutilation included, Cain? God. Do we know?
I really hope it's like the Barbie doll where there's no genitals at all. And if you're I I'm just curious, uh you know, just Was wondering if that was the case. Yeah, it was Sharia. Is there a booklet about Sharia? Does it come with a Quran?
Uh oh yeah, that's right. Maybe it does, I don't know. I don't think it does, though.
Well I'm just curious, like is that? Did they get into all of that? I it just Those are some important details that highlight why people oppose some of this stuff. which I think is important. I didn't know American Doll made that.
type of thing. made that sort of They and they I don't know. I am without speech. I am without speech right now. Bruise is not included.
Like it comes with a bruise kit that you can put on the face of the doll, you know, when she has a rebellious spirit and needs a sharia beating from her Imam husband who's old enough to be her grandfather. That. I think if for an extra dollar you get a sack of stones. Oh, that's right.
So if your doll makes you mad, you can just start pelting it with the rocks.
Now, that doll better not show an ankle. And I didn't appreciate that. I'm very offended that the doll was showing off its gold jewelry, by the way, which I thought gold was haram, number one.
So already stone it.
So there immediately she's gonna have rocks thrown at her. And then, yeah, showing off those bracelets. Are you trying to tempt people with a showing of a wrist? Stone it. Uh-huh.
I'm just saying. I'm just, you know, just curious about that. I mean, you know. Um I I don't know. I can't.
So what what is and is that Mattel, do they own the American Girl doll? Question. Yeah. I mean, the age is going to be right. you know, for Yeah, considering that.
So, yeah, it's the American girl doll with the hijab wanting children to take part in the. Eid prayers. Oh, okay. Sharia not included. Female genital mutilation kit sold separately, as are the bruise kit.
and the uh seven-year-old husband Imam. all sold separately. There it is. Yeah, in the stones. Uh A couple of things.
Because I saw this Right about the time, and pull this up. This one actually blew my mind. Uh it is A scene from New York. And they have nine eleven memorials. that are covered With Um Ramadan stuff.
In fact, One of the things that I saw was like they put these pray they've been putting little prayer rugs. on some of the memorials. And even like some of the plaque names. I don't really have words for that. I don't know if you've seen some of this stuff.
They ha they had the they had their uh They they were covering parts of this memorial. Uh in New York City. With these Islamic prayer rugs. In fact, In New York, FDNY, they had installed Islamic prayer rugs in front of the 9-11 memorial plaque. where they were honoring 405 first responders.
I am amazed at that. To see this. That was kind of shocking. That's on purpose. to do it like that.
That is absolutely on purpose. We've seen this stuff in the UK, we've seen it in Germany, etc., all those places before too. It's Islamism. That's exactly what this is. And they're and I told you how all over they've had these Whether they were lighting it up in green or all of this stuff for Ramadan observance, but they had prayer rugs in front of the.
FDNY's memorial plaque for firefighters. Killed on 9-11. And then they had the FGNY Islamic Society. which is and per Susan Edelman, this is a fraternal group of Muslim employees in coordination with FDNY in the mayor's office. They hosted an iftar, the evening meal, to break the daily fast during Ramadan.
And Zoe Rain Mandani, of course, he was there along with the fire commissioner, Lilian Bon Signore, and they had their celebratory meal. Inside of the meeting room, and they put all these prayer rugs down in the lobby, right over and by these this large memorial plaque. And I don't, they didn't have an official photo on social media, which I thought was interesting. Like Mandani's office didn't didn't put one out. I thought that was kind of interesting.
Do you feel like that's To me, that seems incredibly disrespectful in tone deaf. And if you would have told me that. you know, twenty some odd years ago that this was going to be happening in New York, I would not have believed you. I would not have believed you. Why they decided to do this in the lobby and put these prayer rugs down in the lobby is another question.
So, in some of the reporting, They said that one active firefighter said that the mayor and the Muslim group involved in city leadership showed a real lack of sensitivity. They said the auditorium already in use as a dining hall could have easily served as a dual purpose for any ritual or gathering. keeping the memorial lobby untouched. and focused on its solemn role. They said, we owe it to the fallen and their families to treat that space with the utmost respect and inclusivity that truly honors everyone who served.
Someone else said, well, this is a building full of conference rooms and meeting spaces. They had the entire auditorium for their event. Why did they have to choose the 9-11 memorial? to put their rugs down on. They said that's a memorial and it should be sacrosanct, not a space for people to congregate regardless of religion or rationale.
That's what's so weird. They had a ton of other places where they could have done this, and they decided to do it in the lobby purposely in front. And Juan's showing you. on the simulcast, so that's the lobby, and then you can see the memorial rugs. All over.
And in fact, like apparently on some of the plaques, I, which I without words. Kane, that seems purposeful. Yeah. Yeah, it absolutely is. They have absolutely no respect for anyone else, their religion, any of that.
Everyone has to kowtow. to their religion. Everyone has to adjust their lives. to their desires. Yeah, the um that's what like that call to prayer is.
It's a command. It's not church bells that denote time or things like that. The call to prayer is a command. And it's loud and it's at the it's to the exclusion of everybody else too. To the ex and it's and it uh ostracizes women.
So it's not even remotely the same. Not even remotely the same. But this is Islamism. You see it everywhere. It's spreading absolutely everywhere, Islamism.
That is what's happening. Nobody's talking. You don't hear the Woke Reich talking about it. No, what is the Woke Reich talking about? We're going to play some of this here coming up.
No, they're talking about still, they're trying to slam POTUS. Yeah. Iran. And in fact, POTUS was asked. This is uh let's see this is cut five He remarked I'm Joe Kent.
Listen to this. You know what?
Okay, was we just Okay. Look, I'm not a fan of the guy. If you look at, and you never cover this, if you look at his truths or whatever he went on, if it's X or truth, if you look at his truths or his statements, He was all for everything. All of a sudden he he wasn't. He was uh a man that I met At Dover, he came and his wife was killed.
He remarried fairly quickly. His wife was killed. And I felt badly for her. He ran for Congress, he lost. He ran for Congress again and he lost.
They said, you know. He's a guy, nice guy, seemed like a very nice guy. I met him, he was. Uh pretty heartbroken. Pretty.
But I said, you know, it's a shame. He ran for Congress twice. Call him up, give him a job in the White House. Smart. They gave him a job in the White House, and this is what he does to me, you know?
Being a nice guy doesn't pay f He's right. By the way, here's what's really interesting, and this has been floating around online.
So remember how, and I hate even discussing her because I feel like it cheapens our very smart program. But Gal Sharpton, right, with her little podcast. Gal Sharpton was bragging about having all this insider information about Charlie Kirk and all this stuff. Joe Kent, even though it came out later that he absolutely did not have the access to run any of this down, and people were making fun of him for claiming that he did, because he was saying that he was able to do, which apparently he wasn't.
Somebody was apparently leaking to her information. Like, for instance, about Charlie's rental car or something like that. Was it him? Was he just going above, going over his skis and trying to, was he leaking to her? Because she said counter uh that the quote counterterrorism agency end quote confirmed that it had received her text messages about French assassins in December.
Who is she talking to at the Counterterrorism Agency? Was it the head of the counterterrorism department, Joe Kent? Huh. Mitch Snow said Joe Kent, who is the director again, vetted him for Gal Sharpton's show in December.
So was he Leaking to her. Think about this. You had Tucker go out and accuse the CIA of reading his messages. The only way they would have been reading his messages is if. Joe Kent was maybe perhaps sending him something that was sensitive to foreign intelligence.
Or anything. I mean, there's a lot of red flags here. But did they just stupidly out themselves, all of them? I mean, you know it's an op. But did they just really I mean confirm it beyond all argument because I feel like they did.
That's very interesting. Nobody watches. These people don't watch their words because they're used to having people write things for them and putting it in front of their faces. Daniel, here, folks, I have talked about Relief Factor for some time. You guys know that I don't really talk about anything on this show that wouldn't be put to use in my own home.
And I've mentioned before how much it's helped my husband. He had old sports injuries from hockey and football and knee pain. And Relief Factor has been a huge help for him when it comes to those daily aches and pains.
So that's one of the reasons why I like to talk about Relief Factor because I've seen that it makes a difference. And now Relief Factor has improved their formula, made it even better. They've added a premium black pepper extract that helps your body absorb the high-quality ingredients more effectively.
So you're actually getting even more benefit from what you're already taking. It's just a simple change, but it makes a real difference in terms of how your body uses it.
So if you've been thinking about trying Relief Factor, this is a great time to start. And if you're already using it, you're now getting an even better version of a product that's already helped so many people.
So get started with the three-week quick start for just $19.95 at relieffactor.com or call 800 number for relief. That's the three-week quick start. It's only $19.95. That's relieffactor.com or 8004RELIF. How good would it feel to finally get out of pain?
Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Glabwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. 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? 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. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there. What's worse, being understaffed or being poorly staffed?

Insane, particularly when he was singing a different tune just a few years ago. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you at the bottom of this third hour. That's the whole idea, the idea of sharing power. I don't know how you can't share power with an entity like China because what the West wants and what China wants are two mutually exclusive things, and they cannot coexist. I mean, Chinese imperialism is a very real thing.
We just want to be left alone and have everybody behave. That's it. Thank God the United States loves liberty, right? Because if we were a nation of tyrants, we can no longer be the sole author of terms, of commerce. of anything.
We have to share power. With China. Because of their scale. My word. Joining us on this and all of these issues, because lost in all of the discussion lately has been.
The specter of China, not really a specter, a reality. Stephen Yates, you guys know Mr. Yates very well. You can follow him at Steve Yates on X, and he is the Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He has served in not one but two presidential administrations on foreign policy.
And he joins us via video, always from his lair. It's good to see you, Mr. Yates. I just kind of wanted to get your thoughts on that because more and more we're seeing this promotion that China is somehow in any way an equal partner to that of the United States. And boy, oh boy, we need to start sharing our power with them.
But we're not even in any way remotely equal, in my estimation. Am I wrong on this? No, this is one of the more revolting, ideologically, intellectually, historically weak and baseless comments that are out there. If you took this same logic during the Cold War, you'd say, oh, but the Soviet Union has scale, and we have to come to terms and just accept that we're going to be sharing the world with the evil empire. If you just took up scale, then why is anyone trying to compete with or negotiate with the United States?
We had such scale. They should just give up and fall in line. And maybe people think that's the way we wanted it or that's the way the world works. But it's fair enough that there's competition in the world. It doesn't mean that we have to lay down our arms, lay down our competition, lay down our ideologies, cultures, and families in order to make peace with a revisionist power that gave us COVID, gave us fentanyl, gave us unfair trade, is militarily trying to help those at war against us.
So I just found this revolting. And frankly, stupid on just about every angle. And really, shame on anyone that takes it seriously. Yeah, shame indeed. I mean, there's no retconning.
China's history, and there's no rewriting of the order of the world in which we still have unipolarity with the United States. We're talking with our friend Stephen Yates on all of these issues. I wanted to ask you with the latest with Iran and these missiles that were fired over the weekend. You know, we talked a little bit about this last week, how this entire time, China has been assisting the regime on fabricating whether it's trying to increase any kind of intercontinental ballistic missile capability or these, I guess, more regional missiles. Although I wouldn't call anything that can actually go 4,000 kilometers regional at that point.
I mean, for crying out loud, Paris is in the crosshairs now. But China has been helping them with precursors, with parts, with whatever they needed. My thought is that they really wanted to have this manufacturing race with the United States. Like, we're going to help Iran build as many missiles as possible, and the United States can try to keep up with manufacturing receptors, but they're already behind the ball. And then they'll be so caught up and so focused on that race and on this issue that we can do whatever we want in the Pacific.
Is that kind of an accurate read on what their strategy was with us?
Well, at the very least, they see conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere as a way to drain us politically, economically, strategically, maybe materially in terms of military strength. I mean, after all, there is actually a finite supply of ammunition and platforms. The more you use, the more you have to invest, manufacture, and replenish. I think we're dead serious about doing that at huge scale now going forward. And I would think that our allies will have had a nice sobriety checkpoint and they'd say, well, shoot.
I see the United States going to the mat for an ally in Israel. Lost in this is the conversation about allies. A lot of people say we diss our allies. I don't know how you could go farther in cooperation with an ally than we are with Israel right now. And if you're the rest of the world, you'd say, how do I get me some more of that Israel going on so that the United States stands with us, that we have the best technology, the best air defense and missile defense?
And yeah, maybe we want to protect chips and win the space race because that seems to be the key to the realm in all of this. And so there's a lot for China. China to watch out for in this, but fundamentally, you're not wrong that they wanted to fuel a quagmire or a long, slow burn that degraded us in the theory that it would keep us from acting in the Pacific. And I don't want us to be hubristic. I don't want us to be, but I also don't want us to be declinist.
When we get provoked, there is nothing like us. And China should be very, very careful about provoking us. Oh, I like that. That was just very, that was delivered very clearly and calmly. Yes, you know, they should be very afraid if they provoke us, talking with our friend Steve Yates.
Attacks on all of these other Arab nations By Iran is weird. What is their reasoning behind that? Were they trying to get those nations mad at the United States and maybe blame us instead of Iran?
Well, I think at the very least they wanted to impose costs and fears, and they thought that they would be able to get those allies of ours to petition us to back away. After all, they can be faulted, they can't really be faulted for believing this because, say, their friends in China have been playing this game for decades. Where if someone tries to pick a fight with them, they go to the third party and say, whoa, whoa, whoa, you don't really want this fight to happen. You need to go convince the Americans to take a step back. They've done that with Europeans.
They've done that with Asian allies. They've done it with our neighbor to the north. And so, this game, Iran, China, and Russia have all watched and have all tried to play in certain ways. Yeah, very much so. I wanted to switch gears and ask you about this story in the Taipei Times.
China could use a new law against the Taiwanese. That they could target Taiwanese who do not explicitly support. Taiwan's unification with China. It is this, I love the law's name, by the way. The law on promoting ethnic unity and progress.
Tell me about this because, how is this possible? How are they able to enforce this? Yeah, well, there is nothing more racist than suggesting everyone that lives within your sovereign boundaries is all one race, and we want to have one clean bloodline and culture in our country. That doesn't sound anything Nazi-like to you, does it? No, yeah, we've never heard this before.
So this, this, of course, it's all about unity, and there's nothing more kumbaya than the word unity. Oh, right. And of course, it's unity by non-peaceful means. But really, what it is, is a disgrace to the ethnic diversity that actually is the reality of most of China's current geography. Most of the geography of the People's Republic of China is Mongol, is Uyghur or Hui Muslim, is Tibetan, other ethnicities.
It's only really the very, very populous eastern third of the country where most of the population is. And even with that, there's different groups. And even the People's Republic under the CCP used to celebrate this as how modern and advanced and progressive they are by celebrating all these costume dances and cultural foods while they sort of slap restrictions on them. But basically what's happening to Taiwan is that if they use this law to say, if you're Taiwanese and you say that you're a different ethnicity, then you're violating this law and we have to impose huge penalties. On you.
So it's internal, it's aimed at Taiwan, but it also goes beyond the boundaries. It's extraterritorial, going after people in America or Australia who are engaging in splitism of this great race. Splitism. This is I mean, no better commie word than that. No, I mean, my gosh, this is like 1984.
This is, you know, a good think and bad thing. Oh, my gosh. And the, and the idea. And even going so far as going to the United States and Australia, I'm trying to wrap my mind around the happy little picture they tried to forcefully paint with unity, like everybody has to be the same, and apparently it promotes the use of Mandarin, requires loyalty to Beijing. Do they have to like perform a rite or something?
Yeah, well, there are elements of this that Americans of good conscience and good intent need to be careful of. We start thinking about we should have a national language and that should be promoting the education system. Those are things that a lot of well-meaning Americans would agree with. They just have to understand behind it in our culture is the foundations of freedom, individualism, the family being the foundational sort of atomic component to our culture and our country. Whereas in China, all of that is divided down to the individual with no intermediary between it and the state and no power higher than the state.
So no freedom of religion, no freedom of association. And so in that context, religion is pushed to the side. Ethnicity really is pushed to the side. And this language and other forms of unity are really meant as complete control. Whereas for us, it's liberating under an American constitutional law, common law, and tradition.
And this is who Tucker Carlson says we should share power with. Yeah, I don't think so.
Well, there is no sharing with a country that will poison your children and poison your parents and steal your jobs and your technology. If you would like to make peace with that, they're happy to make peace, but that usually means you bowing and kissing a ring. That's right. It's peace on their terms.

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 is a job for Indeed Sponsored Jobs. Everybody saw, correct? Over the weekend, the two intermediate missiles that were fired By Iran, one of them was kind of a dud, but the other one of our navy, one of our ships took out. And It was kind of a shock for the people who believed. The lies that are on cells.
Oh, we're not making any of these. That's just Trump being super ignorant. That's all that is. He's lying about us. No, he was correct.
He was absolutely 1,000% correct. This is what we were talking about. These missiles. Two of them, as I said, one of our Navy took out. None of them hit a base, but It was, they were fired at the Diego Garcia, and that's the US-UK joint base, 4,000 miles away.
In the Indian Ocean.
Now remember, what did Iran always say? No, no, no, we don't have any missiles. That can go beyond 2,000 kilometers. Oh, well, surprise. Yeah, they do.
That is A four thousand kilometer range from Tehran. And it can reach Paris. and it can reach London. and it can reach pretty much all of Europe.
So there you go, Nato. There you go, Europe. Here's the answer. If you want to talk about what was or was not immediate. And there's the map there, and it even goes beyond that, actually.
Because these are all 2,000. See the nine, the nine circle that goes all the way in India, that's two thousand, double that. That's how far these missiles can go, beyond that double that far outermost red circle. That's 2,000 kilometers, double it, and that becomes 4,000. That's the.
reach that Iran has.
Now do people get it? Put a nuke warhead on that. Bam. And if you don't think that they wouldn't do it, they've been bombing every Arab ally also. They're nuts.
This is a theocratic regime. That isn't built on politics. It's built on some insane apocalyptic belief set. and they think that they're going to kick off World War III.
So, yes. What Marco Rubio was saying was correct. Yes, what Trump was saying is correct. And it's so interesting. Have you seen that there's not a lot of headlines about this today?
Were you guys aware of the range, the full range capability that Iran has now that it's become evident today? Were you guys made aware of that by media? Has that been the top story in any of the outlets you've been watching? It should be. This is the whole reason.
what Rubio was talking about and what we do know for a fact, is that the capability, these missiles that they were making, they were in they were getting assistance from China. We already know that. They were giving them the precursors, et cetera, helping with the even parts, all the production of it. And That was I think that was really pushed out there to spur the United States to get into this. Type of manufacturing race to see who can make more of what, Iran with their missiles, or the United States with our.
interceptors, our receptors, our ability to meet and neutralize. Those missiles And China really wanted us to get involved in this manufacturing race and focus all of our attention there so they can do whatever they want in the Pacific. We're going to talk to Stephen Yates about that here coming up. My point is that They were making so many that even if they fully. completed their objective, which was to create a nuke.
If You wanted to stop them from using said nuke. At a certain point, there would be so many missiles that would stand in the way. between you obtaining the nuke And you, where you are, that there the consequences for that. the of waiting that long to engage. would have been catastrophic.
And that's what a lot of people are criticizing. They're saying, wait, okay, so we know that they have the, I mean, you just saw over the weekend, they have missiles that can go 4,000 kilometers. That's all of Europe. Who's to say that they don't have that can do more? Nobody knows because they've been lying about it this whole time.
the entire time. And by the way, you know As well, and this is what I think a lot of people don't understand. One of the things with the missiles and then the agreement that was under Obama-Biden. Because I don't think a lot of people were aware that the Obama deal explicitly left out. the missiles.
m left out missile the missile program in the JCPOA. Of the six listed demands, Barack Obama did not address the missile program at all. In fact, they actually reduced the sanctions on the missiles. on the development, uh the manufacture of the production of missiles. It did not, even the JCPOA also didn't even touch on Iran's arming of all of these other groups, like the Houthis and et cetera.
all of their little terrorist proxies. They were not expected to decommission any of their nuclear reactors. And they didn't even they didn't even say that enrichment must be stopped. They wouldn't even talk about this. They wouldn't even discuss it.
I saw this because Bukhari Sellers was out there trying to push that, oh, Barack Obama forced Iran to make commitments, no missile program, et cetera. And that is absolutely not true. It's like he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. And I know Bukhari Sellers, I've done ABC coverage with him. They It did not say anything about the missile program.
It did not explicitly stop them from enrichment. They didn't even have to decommission a reactor. These people that are saying that, oh, well, you know, Barack Obama was able to get, he didn't do any of that. Trump was right and all these digital prostitutes were incorrect.
So, this is now what we're looking at. This is why. He had that the response that he did. And all of these people, by the way. I'm going to pull this up there.
All of these accounts. And some of them are like CNN talking heads, some are in MSNBC. They've all gone out there and have said the same thing. Oh, yeah, Obama got Iran to agree to these negotiations before Trump bombed them. Oh.
I feel like are these people who who weren't around when this happened. They weren't involved in politics. Or are these people who just think that the political reality began the day that they were made aware of politics? Or maybe they were around and they were aware of it and they're just lying their faces off. to push an agenda.
I mean, I think it's probably a combination of all of these things. I mean, this is It's just kind of asinine and embarrassing. And this has been, these accusations have been running rampant all morning on social media. But it makes sense now. People get it.
Now you see.
Meanwhile in Cuba. You know what they were doing in Cuba? We were telling you last hour about how you had a Nepo baby chunk. What's his face? Chunkers?
Yeah. His nephew, the one who electrocutes his dog. He wore a $700 shirt to go poverty tourism in Cuba. That's a fact. And then this gets even crazier.
I went down there with code pink, and apparently, Greta Thunberg is also there. And uh Pablo and Glesias. They had a VIP flotilla. This is CUT 20. They had a VIP flotilla.
where they were throwing food. at hungry Cuban children and they were all filming them. For their And Social media, this is it. They're in their little flotilla and they're throwing food and then recording them take it. This is just Insane.
So you got a socialist Spanish acti uh activist. You got Nepo Baby. Hassan Piker, you have code pink. And they're all there. Do we need Poverty Tourism.
Staying in five star hotels. One of the things that Lorraine noted too is they're also there with this Irish group, which is just cringe. They're there with this Irish group and apparently The group, they were supposed to perform a show. And they, it's called they're called NECOP. It's like this crappy Irish group.
And they Put their show on, they were the only people there, no one else was there, and then when they were done with their self-glorification. The whole area blacked out because Knecap, the Irish hip-hop group, used up all the power.
So they went down there to perform a show. No one attended. No one attended. And then They sucked up all the power in the area. That's about right for socialism.
That tracks. Yeah, that tracks. That sounds about right. Wow. That's what those people need help in what do they do?
They go down there and they paint murals. And then they ride in their little open-top buses and they record these people. They look at it, it's like they're like at a zoo, and instead of animals, it's humans. I mean, this is, you couldn't make it up if you tried. And there was at one point.
I can't remember which one it was, if it was Piker or Inglesias or who. And they were doing an interview complaining about being criticized for the blackout and he's sipping espresso, like a tiny little espresso, pinkies out. And it's just one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.
Now that's this is everything that is wrong with the socialist mindset. everything that is wrong with the socialist mindset. It's just something else. I just can't And I don't even think that they're aware of how this is being viewed. I mean, they did the whole mural thing, and that was pretty cringe.
They've done the mural. They've done What is it? They threw food out. They had their little. their little performance there.
I don't know. And then you have Greta Thunberg. This is cut 21.
So. She, let me just try to understand this.
So she went from. going to Gaza with a flotilla. She went from going to Gaza to. This was after climate change.
Now she's here. I'm very confused.
Now she's in. Cuba For what purpose? Do we know? This is her, though. She's um.
I don't know. I don't know where her parents are. Although she's in her 20s now, isn't she? I think so. Yeah, she's like a grown child.
Go ahead and play this. This is so cringe. Oh man, what the paper looks? Slide. Show me what power looks like.
Show me what democracy looks like. Is this a recent video or is this an older one? Because those buses, this looks like it's New York. But she was down there and they were doing this old same old stuff. She was down in Cuba and they were doing, and this isn't Cuba, that looks British because that's a double-decker bus there.
So, this is not from Cuba.
So, let's go ahead and cut this video.
So, she was there. And they were doing kind of like the similar the similar there. And no one was participating because they thought it was absolutely ridiculous. You're going down there with people who have lived under. uh lifetimes of oppression.
And this is all about these influencers taking an influencer trip. That's what this is. It is influencers who took an influencer trip. And For just to get clicks on social media. Painting a mural isn't going to restore electricity.
Throwing food from your air-conditioned flotilla. isn't going to restore. Electricity. doing your little concert that nobody can attend. And then you suck out all the power in the area.
That's not going to do anything. This is just self-glorification for these people. Chapter understands how difficult it can be when you are navigating Medicare. Medicare is confusing on purpose. Obamacare is a steaming pile of pig feces that has made everything, in fact, incredibly worse.
So when you have Medicare and you're trying to figure out a plan, it's confusing. And no wonder people are confused. And no wonder they end up paying more than what they and for stuff that they it's not even actually covered. Chapter exists to cut through all of the confusion and they're not going to just tell shove a couple of companies at you. They are the only advisor that compares every Medicare plan nationwide to find what fits your doctors, your prescriptions, and your budget.
And so on average, people who work with Chapter save over $1,000 a year on healthcare costs just by getting into the right plan instead of whatever's pushed at them. It's super easy to talk to Chapter at Chapter. It's free and fast. Under 20 minutes, they'll review your coverage, walk you through your choices if you're about to enroll so you know what you're picking and why.
So take control of your Medicare. Dial pound250 on your phone, like what else would you use, and say the words Medicare plan. That's pound 250. Say the word Medicare Plan to get your options reviewed with chapter. Pound250, say Medicare plan.

Alright, moot next headline. Uh. What? Air Canada.
Well, he is. Everybody knows who he is. He's a Trump investigator. Anyway, next, Air Canada flight attendant LaGuardia was strapped to a jump seat and ejected during this horrific, deadly crash. This is insane.
They're calling it a mass casualty incident, obviously, because of the number of fatalities. But they said that this Air Canada flight that The because you know they strap into their junk seats. By the way, the pop-up ads in the New York Post either delete your entire website or get rid of your annoying pop-ups. They said that one of the flight attendants was violently thrown from the plane, but miraculously survived it. She was ejected into the air.
Now, this flight originated in Montreal. It collided with a truck on runway forward about 11:40 p.m. And they, I mean, it's a mess. It is, they still have a ground stop. I think the ground stop is still in effect at LaGuardia, which is crazy because it's such a busy airport.
41 passengers and crew members were taken to the hospital, some with serious injuries. But we don't know how badly this attendant was injured, except that she did survive. This is a this guy always seems like a D-bag. He's a big, giant gun control activist.
Well, he's a big gun controller. Alan Richson, yeah, Alan Richson, who's from Reacher, he apparently assaulted his neighbor in a street scuffle in Tennessee on Sunday.
So him and his kids were riding their motorcycles or their dirt bikes rather, not really motorcycles. They were riding, I don't know what he had, what kind he had, but they were riding their bikes around the neighborhood. And apparently, a neighbor, I guess, said something about them speeding through the streets and being loud or whatever. They had their motorbikes out. And Richson gets off his bike and just goes and attacks the neighbor, punches him in the head, and it's all on video.
It's all on video.
So and this was in Tennessee. Amazingly, he has not yet been arrested, but the guy's beaten up. I mean, his face is all busted up and it's on camera. And his sons were just sitting there on their bikes watching this happen. That's insane.
He said that he was riding his Kawasaki through the neighborhood and he was just being loud. And apparently, they were riding all over the street, is what the neighbors were saying. And so. He, uh, Richson apparently hit him after he flipped him off. And then Ritzen got off his bike and apparently, according to page six, went over and beat him in the head.
He's got bruises and stuff all over his face.
So he apparently got some other injuries.
So we'll see. But we don't know if they're. There's gonna be an arrest or not. That guy just seems like a hothead. Maybe it's Roid Rage.
This is why Reids are bad. You know what I mean? I mean, diet and exercise, just simply do it the organic way. The Fed's next move could be a rate hike. Great.
Great. I know you're really happy about that because you really, really like Jerome Powell. He's your best friend, Kane. I hate him. It's because you don't like old people, isn't it?
That's what it is. Remember, Kane says old people aren't innocent, and I would say that Jerome Powell is one of those old people.
So I think, Kane, I think your assertions might be correct in this situation. A suspected meteorite crashed into a Houston woman's home amid citywide reports of a boom. We saw one the other day, too, like right over the house. We were outside with the dogs. A woman, her house, I mean, was struck by it.
It crashed through her roof. Imagine that insurance claim. My house was hit by a meteorite. I need uh I need a Need to file a claim. We have a lot more on the way.
Stick with us. We're just getting started. 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 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 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 64300064000.
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.

I was just reading this tweet. that went out this morning from Atlanta airport. Due to TSA staffing constraints, ATL is continuing to see longer than normal wait times at security checkpoints. Travelers are encouraged to arrive at least four hours early. At least.
Yeah, four hours early. I mean, if it's a short If the fly I always look at it this way: if you're dealing with cancellations and a shutdown, and the drive is maybe shorter than the flight, then do the drive. rent a car and do the drive. Although I wonder if a lot of people are doing the same though because of If I have to show up four hours before my two-hour flight and it's a five-hour drive, oh, easily driving, yeah, then I'm driving. Yeah, easily driving.
And I'm not. I'm not a road trip person because I like to drive. And I don't like stopping. I am horrible to go on a road trip with because I'm like, get, we're going from point A to point B, no stops, buckle up. And everybody in the car is dying.
But I'm like, I just want to get to my location. Unless you stop at a Bucky's, maybe. And then, you know, there's a little side trip to that and stop at the Bucky's.
So, I don't know. We'll see. Um. This story, hold up. I wanted to bring this up.
Did you know the Wall Street Journal had this story about how. One of Mexico's top drug cartels. is run by a U.S. citizen. Did you know this?
It's a California-born stepson. Of El Mencho. And he enjoys These const he enjoys constitutional protections. Because he's I guess he's born in the United States. Huh?
So It's complicated, they said, to target him.
So they've got The new kingpin is Juan Carlos Valencia Gonzalez. There's way too many names. Just pick three. And uh apparently oh, he was in was Al Mencho buried in a golden coffin? I think it was a gold coffin.
That's what I read, yeah. And yeah, his California-born stepson. is now apparently the head of the Jalisco New Generation cartel. Yeah, it's the uh Yeah. That's going to be a problem.
So now Intel agencies. The Wall Street Journal is discussing how these intel agencies are now Now it's a little bit tough. It's a little tougher because They have roles for surveilling. medical or surveilling Americans overseas, and they would usually have to get signed you know, the AG has to get involved, and then you have to get a FISA court, et cetera, and then they have to say that the guy's acting as an agent of a foreign power. Kind of like a Farah thing.
And there's all kinds of other now procedural requirements. And apparently, I mean, you know, they know they got him dead to rights. He's already involved apparently in. criminal felonious criminal activity. Just saying, so uh that's going to be a little trickier.
With this guy. I don't know. I mean, I still I don't know. I I they had apparently the CIA had an unarmed predator drone over one of the vacation compounds where they uh apparently I guess they're watching his girlfriend and all this stuff too. Ooh.
Just saying, this is going to be a little tricky. It'll be trickier. But if they I mean, can't you use Rico? I just feel like that there's a couple of things that would be at your disposal. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm just, you know, anyway, that's this is going to be something. I'm going to have this in your. For those of you who get the newsletter, it's a very interesting read. It's a long read, but it's a very interesting read. It's actually a decent piece from the Wall Street Journal.

I don't think people understand how difficult it is to choose the stupidity for today in stupidity because there is so much. There is a smorgasbord of stupidity, like the Hassan Piker stuff and the Greta Thunberg stuff and the Code Pink lefties and all that.
That's stupid. But what is remarkably stupid today is Minneapolis' mayor, Jacob Frye. When you're a business and say, hey, I can't afford to hire anyone. And then Jacob Fry says, well, why don't you just hire more people? That's pretty much what he's saying right here.
Go ahead, Lawrence. If the goal here was safety at airports, he could hire out more TSA agents that do an incredible job at keeping our airports. Just to hear it. I mean, he said it, but it hurts to hear it. He doesn't know how this works.
He's too busy trying to. Ingratiate himself with the Somali diaspora that's holding his city hostage.
So, really, I mean, I would say maybe perhaps the entire state. I want you to stop being poor, guys. Just stop being poor. Stop it. Stop.
