John is probably going to get out of the hospital this week so he's well on his way to recovering at Jane Rennon's house so we're hoping that

00:58 He's back sooner than later. Well, I received a phone call on Friday from John from the hospital! I was like what? And here is the thing... From Sutter Health No it is a 415 number and I'm like that some Google scammer because of course I don't have John's actual cell phone number no why would I have that after 18 years So he goes to voicemail, and like hey yeah I was checking in. Checking in I call him back. I said dude, what's up? He's like it was the sweetest thing he says yeah You know I just really wanted to apologize that I'm not there doing the show.

Oh well its pumping blood the jury still on whether his heart actually working as intended.

04:21 So Mimi's here. She's a man, you got a lot of clips she brought in the media deconstruction I will start us off with a supercut Usually it's lame left-wing media and lame Democrats For once in A Blue Moon It's the opposite side This is short term disruption for the long term gain Short term pain for the long term gain Short term pain be for long term gain We're gonna have some short term pain uh, with long-term gain. Short term pain for a long term gain! Some short term pain yes but we've got some long term gains. Short term spike for a long term gain. Some short term pain for American consumers We may have to deal with that in the short term. Short term and temporary Temporary...short term pain is gonna suck into the short term. Some short term pain. Short term pain. We have to focus on the short term. Short term. Short term. Short term. Short term and long term. Short term. That

05:18 Hopefully this is a short-term pain. Short term is highly outweighed of the long term benefits. Some short term pain for the long term gain! Short term sacrifice for a long term gain Yeah baby, short term! Short term pain, long term gain it's all in the cards everybody Do we have calci bets yet on when this thing is going to end and what is actually ending? What is the end? What do you call the end You know, I have no idea. I kind of got a little burned out listening to the news So I want a different direction today Oh well then then sit back and enjoy the ride I've got the morning the Sunday morning shows for you everybody came out Everybody had something to say and maybe we'll start with this little

06:09 Update from ABC. A US refueling jet crashed in Western Iraq, killing all six American crew members on board. Officials say two KC-135 planes were flying a combat mission over friendly airspace when one went down for reasons still unknown. The second plane landing safely in Israel. Images obtained by Con11 showing damage to its tail section and urgent investigation is underway The Pentagon saying the crash was not caused by hostile or friendly fire. War is hell, war is chaos and as we saw yesterday with the tragic crash of our KC-135 tanker

06:52 Bad things can happen. The US is deploying 5,000 Marines and sailors aboard three Navy amphibious ships to the Middle East Officials stressing this does not mean ground troops will enter Iran And with Iran attacking oil tankers the Strait of Hormuz where 20% of the world's oil flows is tightly blocked The U.S vowing to get the dangerous shipping lanes reopened They are exercising sheer desperation in the Straits of Hormuz something we're dealing with, we have been dealing with it and don't need to worry about it. More than a dozen ships have been hit near Iran oil prices climbing and gas prices rising in the US by nearly 70 cents a gallon since the war began In an effort to stabilize the markets the U.S now easing sanctions on Russian oil sales officials acknowledging those sales will allow Russia to make money in the short term The move coming just days after sources told ABC News

07:51 Russia was providing intelligence to the Iranians to help them target American troops and ships in the region. President Trump pressed on whether Russia may be helping Iran. Do you think Putin is helping him? I think he might be helping him a little bit, yeah, they guess and he probably thinks we're helping Ukraine right? That's actually from ABC that that's a pretty good overview of how everyone's talking about this uh... Yeah The president pops up in the most In the strangest places, he's like I'm gonna call that guy. Yeah let me call that guy and this was a what's this guy's name Brian Kilmeade yeah Brian Kilmeade who used to have me on his show but i don't know

08:39 It ended for some reason. I probably said something weird about him So he you know, he went back and looked at so I had never heard of Karg Island now You having lived in Iran? Had you ever heard of it? I've heard of it. I've never been there Well no There's nothing to see even less to say now But according to Brian Kilmeade, the president was talking about Karg Island as early as on record 1988. So the year was 1988 this future President Donald Trump was selling a book called The Art of the Deal He gave an interview to a British newspaper at which time you talked about Iran

09:21 You said we have to win back respect for America on the world stage and you had stern words for the Islamic Republic. You said they've been beating us up psychologically, making us look like a bunch of fools one bullet shot at one of our men or ships I do a number on Karg Island. I go in and I take it now here in 2026 you are president? Are you thinking about taking Karg Island where 90% of the Iranian oil goes through and what do you think about Do that interview and that school of thought.

10:14 I It's sort of a foolish question, a little surprising for you because you're smart man. I am but you were just pretty amazing that you thought about it in 1988 so- Well I did but I thought about a lot of other things like what else I thought about long time before it happened one year before it happened almost exactly is Osama Bin Laden. I said you have to go out and kill Osama bin Laden he's big trouble kill him.

10:55 Nobody did anything. A year later he knocked down the World Trade Center. Let's talk about China, it turns out... You know that? It was in a book! Did you know I wrote it in a book?! I wrote it!! One of my many bestsellers. He said go get Osama Bin Laden because I saw him interviewed And I said, wow that guy's trouble. And they said you better go get him and one year before he knocked down the World Trade Center right? And you know that Clinton had a chance to get him? Yep and didn't do it. He thought it would be accused of doing a wag the dog thing. Nostradamus President Trump. Is that one of those Trump phones he is calling in on because that's pretty low quality. He needs up his game little bit on that Yeah or he's on satellite phone

11:43 You know, I'm sick of the media is just totally pissed me off this week. So there's that Yes Doesn't mean we don't have to make you even sicker by talking about it Oh no, no, it's fine so actually I have a clip called the media lies which is a good example of why I'm irked and Okay, let's take a little bit about the pharma stuff and the affordability tour that he's doing because Like that like the strip joint in where I come from okay anyway Oh

12:25 Talk about that. I know, that's right! What does the Hotsy Totsy Club have to do with pharma? Well... A lot of girls on drugs. That was pretty good. It was Hotsy Totsy to me. Where was that in Seattle? No it's in El Cerrito. El Cerrito California? 94-530 Oh wow man I used to drive down El Camino and El Cerrito What was I listening to what was You were listening to Fox On The Five and that was Emily Campagna who is bought up Hotsy Totsy Club during a break and then they kept bringing it back up. But here we go, the Hotsy Totsy Club is a bar in Albany it's not Nelserito Oh oh I see we're fact checking...oh wait a minute gambling? The media is wrong?!

13:12 It's the oldest bar in the East Bay. It opened in 1939, it's not a strip club The place is so tiny that stripper would have to go outside and strip and then run into the bar its El Camino Real is in the West side of the bay. It's on San Pablo Avenue And it's in Albany 94706 So it was like can't you guys like don't you guys have phones too? Like maybe Google it No, no I'm sorry you're clearly thinking about something else than our mainstream media especially the Fox and Friends. My goodness! Can't believe you watch that Well then there's the entire thing that...

13:59 The lobster gate. Wait a minute, you're going away from... I want to stay on Iran! You're going to lobsters? What is this?! Oh the lobsters are relevant to Iran. Okay alright. Let's start with the first... which one did the national desk...? I don't know what... I have CNN uh what is the national oh I see it I gotcha I'm Christine Frizzell in Washington with tonight's Waste Watch report. Any day now we expect the Trump administration to ask Congress for a lot more money, additional funds to assist paying for the war with Iran which reportedly is costing about 890 million dollars a day! Well it turns out some of the money they're asking for will go to fill a hole created by the Defense Department at the end of the last fiscal year with spending on items many people would see as wasteful

14:59 Among the Pentagon's most shocking purchases in a single month, $6.9 million on lobster tail, 2 million on king crab and 15.1 million on ribeye steak. Is this now some kind of scandal that you've uncovered here? Let's go to Schiff Post Video and it actually has Colbert in it Last year on fruit basket stands, well the Pentagon spent 12 thousand. That's a lot of fruit basket stands but that's not all they wasted a whole lot more money than that take a look

15:39 So far this war has cost over six billion dollars, but burning through cash is nothing new for Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Because the government watchdog discovered that he blew billions on things like 5.3 million dollars for new iPads 60 thousand dollars for Herman Miller recliners and 12 thousand dollars for fruit basket stands Wait you're ordering what? That's what I think! What?! So anyway, $12,000 for fruit. Okay? Wait! You're ordering fruit?! This is my emotional state right okay you're ordering fruit baskets so fancy they come with a stand Come on Pete, if you need food at work do the normal thing. Put a clementine in your tote and find it three weeks later when it's a furry grey golf ball! Hegseth also went all out on the buffet reportedly the Pentagon spent two million dollars on crab legs 6.9 million dollars on lobster tail over 15 million dollars on ribeye steaks

16:35 No, no boo. They're just hearkening back to our founders as Paul Revere declared on his famous ride one if by surf two of by turf Is that really the material they're doing? So, they can't even come up with something better. They have to harp about the Department of War budget which we know has always been inflated and out-of-control? Well let's go to CNN. Welcome everyone I'm Cole from Cole's Ants and today... No no wrong wrong No, CNN... I'm sorry. I got it. There you go. He has spent $15 million in one month for ribeye steaks 6.99 for lobster tail 225 million dollars for furniture he spent more in the month of September than most countries on earth spending their defense Do you believe that? All for himself? Lobster tails while our troops are eating MRE's? Do you believe the Secretary of Defense is personally eating all the lobster

17:37 One more, that would be the Times of India pick this up. Oh, goodness. Pete Hexett approved spending at the Pentagon worth more than $93 billion in the month of September alone, including on luxury food items and iPads. A new analysis published by Government Watchdog Open The Books found that from September till the end of 2025, Pete Hexet

18:34 reportedly burnt through cash, including spending a staggering $9 million on just crab and lobster dinners. All this in the run-up to the Iran war. According to military.com, an increase in military officials eating pricey meals has traditionally been viewed as a sign that something may be brewing such as President Donald Trump's war in Iran though it appears Hexith has been dining well at the Pentagon since at least last spring. These people are nuts! Yep, so all over the web there were so many pushbacks to this. Well yeah... And it explains it and that one I have is Will Kane

19:18 About steak and lobster. All right in 2010 in Afghanistan I was working with two other marine EOD techs Brian Smith and Chindo Mesa We had been out all day long working some IDs is difficult day We had a few really close calls that day when we got back, we sat down And I've got this picture of us just sitting on a ledge at patrol base karma Then there's a stack of MREs behind us and our member Mesa looking at me saying Man, I just hope that I don't get that chicken tetrazzini or something like that. Like we've been out all day it's a tough day and i was like man let's hope we get decent MRE And then somebody comes around the corner and is like hey guys its steak n lobster night It's surf & turf A log train had come in which was insane because the route was littered with IEDs Now I have another picture of us eating steak In the room where we lived later on that night What funny is the look on our faces from one picture to other is about the same Because were in war

20:10 But after that day for weeks, we talked about staking lost tonight. The only one I've ever gotten overseas It was in the middle of a really tough summer Brian got blown up a few weeks later He's not with us anymore. He died of stomach cancer last year, then I got blown up a couple months later You see these tweets about you know Pete Hegsett to spent 15 million dollars on steak and lobster Are you serious that is the only thing? About home That's the only thing that makes you feel special for the entire time you're there watching your buddies die And you're mad about that The fact that people aren't smart enough to even look up what that's for before they criticize it

20:48 And I guarantee you none of them said a word when Biden surrendered Afghanistan, killed 13 of us. Or when the whole DOD spent tens of millions of dollars on going woke? Come on. It's really something when CNN and Colbert, when they're not talking about the actual war but they're talking about the lobster budget. What kind of call must have gone out? Someone sent out a message somewhere like don't do it! It's gotta be... I never thought I would say ABC was a little more serious but the morning news shows, the Sunday morning news shows at least they got down to some actual topics about what's happening

21:31 This is Martha Raddatz and this is about the thing that affects people probably more than the lobster budget, it's the price of oil and prices at the gas pump. Let's bring in our experts on the economic fallout, the strategy inside Iran and the lessons learned so far let's start with Diane Swank, the chief economist and managing director at KPMG one of the largest accounting firms in the world and good morning Diane, I want to ask you right away. We've already seen rising oil prices gas prices what's your read on what's happening? Well, the longer this lasts the longer the tail of it are in terms of higher prices at the pump. But more importantly disruptions to global supply chains we know that from the pandemic and from our sources in the Middle East when you shut production down and idle production It's easier to turn the lights out then ramp it back up again. It could take weeks two months to get much of this lady is hyperventilating

22:29 supply that's currently been idled in the Middle East back online again. And that means it's compounding the disruptions to supply chains the world over, we're now looking at a scenario where we expect oil prices to hover above $100 a barrel and maybe even spike in the weeks to come. That will show up as much as soon as four to six weeks from the initial shock and things like food prices at the grocery store because of transportation costs. It starts rippling through the economy fairly quickly and we're already three weeks in, so we're very concerned that this is much more of a stagflationary shock than what we saw

23:08 in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. That's because we don't have the backdrop of creating hundreds of thousands of jobs each month and remember with the inflation that we saw back then, we also saw most Americans feeling that the US economy was in a recession even though we were generating hundreds of thousands of jobs a month So the strategy for keeping oil prices within reach has been to have 30 countries release strategic petroleum reserves and then the one that is most irksome to people like your friend Adam Schiff

23:48 is the easing of Russian sanctions. Let me ask you about these Russian sanctions, you obviously supported Russian sanctions the administration has scaled some back arguing removing them on Russian oil experts will ultimately help lower prices for consumers my question for you senator with Americans feeling pain at the pump as you know is easing pressure on Russia which is temporary worth it? I think this is a terrible decision, but it is one of the things that comes about as result of the unpredictability of war. We are now giving Russia essentially 140 million dollars a day by releasing these sanctions. 140 million dollars a day when Iran is providing intelligence to better... When Russia's providing intelligence to Iran to better attack and kill American troops

24:46 And you're darn right when you ask the Secretary about this, it is rewarding Russia and it is punishing Ukraine. For the President when he's criticized about lifting sanctions on Russia to somehow turn around and blame Zelensky, blame Ukraine... No, Russia is the problem here and we are enriching our adversary Russia at Ukraine's expense because the administration didn't properly foresee how much this war with Iran was going to raise oil prices and gas prices for Americans. So terrible and tragic decision, which only empowers Russia to make war more fully against Ukraine." I'm still trying to get confirmation but everyone's talking about how many dollars worth? How many dollars worth? Oh Russia is selling this... And from what i understand the stable coin which has

25:38 backed by US treasuries is a digital US dollar not used in the United States. There may or might not ever be used except for Shopify I think uses it, or allows you to use it probably for international customers. The volume has gone to $33 trillion and I'm thinking yeah... I'm thinking that Part of the deal, although not explicitly mentioned anywhere is yeah okay but as long as everyone's buying it with our stablecoin that's okay. And I think that's happening which is part of the...I think a much bigger strategy which a numbnut like Adam Schiff doesn't see he's just pissed about Putin and Russiagate

26:23 Here's our energy secretary Chris Wright with man hands Welker about these temporary purchases. Mr Secretary, let's talk about Russia the Treasury Department temporarily lifting sanctions on Russian oil this week amid reports that Russia is giving Iran intelligence to target US assets in the region Why is the United States rewarding Russia? So this is not rewarding Russia. I understand that it can be seen that way how else? Secretary how else can it be seen if the u.s.. Is lifting sanctions on Russia There's only one like it can only be rewarding can't be anything else, but a reward for him

27:06 Because the oil we're lifting sanction on is already on the water waiting to unload in a Chinese port. But it'll wait there for six or eight weeks, so instead of letting that oil sit there idly... We told the Indians and then the broader nations of Asia go ahead and buy that oil, bring it into your port now and keep your refineries running. That oil was already exported already going to be sold we're just changing the destination of where to be sold and by doing that were keeping a little bit of a lid on oil prices and helping our allies across Asia I don't think anybody really sees what's going on it seems so obvious to me okay what do you see? The city of London

27:49 has had a lock on oil shipping, insurance etc. Lloyd's of London the entire Persian oil system was set up by the Brits it was the British-Persian Oil Company British Petroleum right became BP And as far as I'm concerned, the Brits after they kind of lost their colonies you know they turned to a financial colonization and they funded all kinds of nonsense in the Middle East to keep everybody busy and everybody fighting including the creation of this state of Israel. They funded the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt when the Suez Canal was in danger All of this happened after Churchill switched

28:41 the British Navy from coal to oil and they've been in control of this. And Trump is now, as far as I can see he's going in and saying look We're going to ensure that this is working and we're going to be escorting ships, which is not the first time. It has happened many times when the Houthis were acting up and we are going to offer insurance and protect global oil trade and take benefits from that unless you guys jump in and help out. That's what this continuous Call is it's like oh other countries need to come in and he's doing this on purpose because he knows they're not going To so be like, all right. We'll take the risk

29:26 And we're going to take all the financial benefits and screw you. In that planning, we see right now the president is seeking help in opening up that strait from other nations. He says that many countries will be sending warships can you tell me who those countries are? The President said hopefully China France Japan South Korea will send them as well was this not done before why is it happening now and who are those countries Look, broader dialogues about energy security have been going on since the Trump administration arrived. For example my engagement with the International Energy Agency but dialogue about this specific military operation did not happen broadly right in front of it. The element of surprise was essential so that we can as quickly as possible destroy their military capabilities and their ability to project power but yes

30:20 All nations of the world depend on products that come from the Straits of Hormuz. China top on that list, Japan Korea all the Asian nations is where the energy and energy that comes out of the Straits of Hormuz flows to. So those are the nations that most immediately impacted by this, so of course it's quite logical to have a broad coalition of the nations of the world work to reopen the straits but first and foremost right now is to finish to destroy Iran's ability to project military force in the region and around the world Chris Wright was getting around this morning. He had the same story with everybody ABC NBC President Trump told me on Saturday he's reaching out to other countries to enlist their help to secure The Strait of Hormuz and then in a post later in the day, he named some of the countries China Japan UK France and South Korea he told me some countries have

31:18 have committed to aiding the United States. Can you be specific with me, Mr Secretary? Which countries specifically are going to help secure the Strait of Hormuz? So I won't get in front of the president or announcements on that, but I have been in dialogue with some of those nations. So I know that to be true But you know, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna leak any news in front of the president but the whole world depends on the flows through Hormuz and most importantly the Asian nations Japan Korea China Thailand India a meaningful part of their total energy supplies come from the Straits of Hormuz

31:54 So, of course the whole world will be united on the need to open Hormuz and clearly we will have the support of other nations to achieve that objective. But in this short term, we have to end Iran's ability to kill American soldiers terrorize their neighbors and continue to put global energy supplies at risk as they've done for 47 years. 47 years is my favorite 47 years. But, but yeah. You know the whole thing here is I love the way that it's this constant pounding on those same questions

32:32 And you know what, if you listen to the European news I don't hear that anybody's really all that engaged. Like certainly not England if you listened to Starmer. No they don't want to be a part of it because they wanted to be the way it is but it benefits them That's why Lloyds of London is saying, can we get in on that insurance deal you know that you're providing Mr. President? Because we really don't want to lose all that revenue This strategy if it is what I think it is and if it works will take away probably five to fifteen dollars per barrel of oil in just risk That has always been the premium for Wall Street

33:17 on oil, and mainly the City of London. They're the guys that have been running this. And if we then somehow are able to keep the petrodollar scam going with stablecoin, it could be... We could have at least 10 more years of prosperity until everything falls apart. And then here's the best China! China was one of the names mentioned which got a lot of attention notable because they're strategic partner of Iran is the US prepared to share intelligence with China for helping to secure the waterway?

33:55 The United States is always in dialogue with the Chinese. They're the second largest economy in the world and they are a very important nation in the world. Opening the Straits of Hormuz is even more important for China than it is for the United States But we care about the global economy. We care first about Americans, but Americans live in a globalized world so we care about all the nations So look there of course are tensions with China as well but we will continue our productive dialogue and I do expect China will be a constructive partner in reopening the Straits of Hormuz That would be interesting What I find

34:35 Kind of fun to watch and I see it in the troll room because you know Mimi you and I were old John We're all old, and we've been around and all people see is the war aspect. They don't understand how bad it's really been In the Middle East and that all of this has always been about oil You can't have an actor like Iran working in cahoots with other foreign entities controlling all of that And so people focus on, ah we're always war. America's war. Yeah that's what it's always been! Always the country was founded on war but people somehow don't want to see that like no I don't like it yeah man they just wanna be you know let everyone take our money We used to be the muscle for the Brits and for the Europeans They would take all the profits and we fight the wars and Trump is turning around

35:31 There's that and there's also the entire thing that people seem to want to forget besides the oil is the IRGC was pushing a lot of money into terrorist organizations. Everywhere! Everywhere, so they've done so much disruption in the world not just United States it's everywhere and you know it had to be stopped at some point because it was really destabilizing the world and also changing that, you know. Do we want to all start speaking Chinese? I mean there's always that aspect! Well...I'm not too worried about that but it but if you really objectively look at it and you know It's very difficult for people because they see this everything is through the lens of Epstein in AIPAC And well Israel is doing this if Israel is taking those incoming missiles Yeah, and Israel was created by its well it all started off with

36:28 what is it, Pikes... no Sykes-Picot agreement. That's when Britain and France after World War I took out the map and went okay here you guys take this part we'll take this part name the countries what do you want to be? I call that Jordan call that Syria whatever and then they created the state of Israel Literally so they could have control over the waterways, you know Suez Canal be close to Egypt. They funded Muslim Brotherhood to overthrow hub was it Who was that at the time Habas? No, that's not his name You know The guy who is he all of a sudden he just said another Suez Canal is art if they've always been the troublemaker Always yeah and but the other thing is that the entire Middle East is not like if you say oh I

37:20 You know, you know Turkey it's not it's a bunch of different tribes. Yeah Well, there was the Ottoman Empire was one huge thing But it was a million different tribes that had been conquered, you know everywhere there. Thank you. Minnow nasser There he goes nasser Yeah, but but so if you know we're dealing with tribal elements We're dealing with different religions for dealing with all this when one group stands out as being the real troublemakers You gotta put I mean historically we've always crushed them Everybody's crushed him That's what we do, you know, we're humans that don't like to uh

37:57 We don't like one group to get too, to cause too much trouble for everyone else. So in the Middle East you know, they IRGC definitely started causing trouble for everyone and oil is just I don't know...I mean I lived through the oil crisis when the Arab nations decided they were gonna Raise our oil prices right and they did a really good job So but here's the difference and I and you know, John and I agree that this plan was in in motion Maybe even during Trump won Abraham Accords. He got Saudi Arabia said look you saw two guys This is not gonna fly for that much longer You're gonna become the technology hub Qatar You'll be the banking hub of the of the Middle East and we're all gonna play together And they are

38:50 That's what people are missing. They are! Everything is going to be redone and our part of the deal is, alright we got to stop this and notice that Trump he's not blowing up the oil facility on the island No, no that would be stupid That's the prize and when you look at the fact that In Tehran there have been like I don't know in all of Iran. I think they've been like 1500 civilians Although it's not sure if its actually civilians or IRGC have been killed Well how many bombs we dropped?

39:31 I mean, with the amount of bombs that you'd think it would be flattened like Dresden in World War II. But these are so... It's very surgical and it is doing exactly like... It's actually the cleanest war I've ever seen in my life! It's clean! Look no blood on my hands! It's clean! Well as a kid we went to... As we were coming back from Middle East, we stopped in Lebanon It was a beautiful, beautiful city. It was completely intact it was gorgeous. What year was this? This is before the Civil War? It was in 1966 during the international air strike so we could only do little hops on local airlines and we stayed about a week and a half in Lebanon. It was beautiful

40:18 And then the PLO came in and ruined everything. Absolutely, flattened everything! I mean just horrible so you know from my perspective i'm looking at what's going on in Iran and i'm going god they're leaving a lot of buildings up yeah you know they're just they're just taking out one apartment on one floor of an apartment building that's kind of cool All right, Mimi warmonger laughing about coolness of buildings. Okay so well no but I think you're right and uh i also lived through the the oil crisis man we had car free Sundays in Holland and it wasn't like car free it was car for boating so yeah you could not drive on Sunday

41:05 Well, we had the every other day depending on your license plate. If your license plate ended in an even number you could only go to a gas station on an even day and if it was an odd day You could only go on an odd day And lines around the block and gas prices that what tripled in the course of just a few weeks So I mean, you know this happened, you know, we to me oil has always been unstable Yes the way I see it This president, and people are like yeah you just all you do is lick Trump's boots. No I see it for what it is he doesn't- He knows what's coming with the midterms. He's trying to get the SAVE Act passed and probably won't happen so that the House will be lost to the Democrats through Washington state mailing voting California State mailing voting all the scams

42:00 And he may even lose the Senate, so he's just going balls to the wall. He's like I'm gonna do this now it short term pain for long-term gain but i think that's probably true. Oh absolutely, I think so and it will change everything And then everyone's investing in American production. The plan is clear, whether he's going to pull it off I don't know but at least I see the plan and I think that these mainstream media they're focusing on lobster dinners They're lost or they see it and they know and they're told to shut up about it. I don't see why so difficult

42:50 See, all I see that the mainstream media is doing is pushing talking points that they are over and over and over again. I mean, the lobster thing is part of it no one remembers nobody looks into it far enough to say oh well gee you know this is something we've done for years and years and its increased morale in the military We have all those numbers that keep flying at people about oil barrel this much who can grasp exactly what they're saying You know, it's really like they're either talking down to people or talking over their heads. That's all I see in the media. It seems like it's a non-stop barrage of just nonsense. You know? The media lies! The media doesn't tell us the full story... They... What?!

43:46 And so I started kind of looking at like that like, I guess the other thing that's been going on is The president has gone after Antifa and Tifa whatever you want to call it. Mm-hmm and and you know, I guess well he's classified them as a terrorist group which is insane Because they aren't a cohesive group But what? Okay, well how about the black flag or whatever I mean it comes from your life also the what yes and actually I have this Last week one of the things that went on was Newsmax went on and on and on their right squad Which I thought was supposed to be pro-trump did. I have a series of parts where they were going after You know

44:42 They're talking about Antifa. And then I actually have this lovely history of the history of Antifa, which kind of for me puts things in better perspective Antifa is short for antifaschistisch or anti-fascists and has its roots in Weimar Germany during the 1920s born as a militant response to rising fascist movements, particularly the Nazi Party. In 1932 the German Communist Party or KPD launched the Antifassistiche Aktion, a paramilitary street movement to fight the SA or Sturmabteilung

45:20 strong, the stormtroopers and other right-wing paramilitary groups. Soon the movement spread all over Europe. This early Antifa was Marxist Stalinist in its ideology and controlled by the Soviet aligned KPD and its goal was to eliminate political rivals on both far right and democratic left including social democrats. It was a true communist movement after Hitler came into power He imprisoned or killed political rivals, especially the communists. In fact despite modern myth Dachau concentration camp was not built for Jews it was specifically built in 1933 to hold political and social criminals with a focus on the Antifa Communists

46:01 After World War II and the defeat of the Axis powers, Europe's Antifa groups disbanded or simply rebranded. Anti-fascism was absorbed into mainstream democratic institutions coming to the United States as a pro Marxist movement." Yeah well yeah they don't have headquarters but I think that minute you say I'm Antifa... You're a terrorist! Well, let's go to the next two clips. The rest of this history so there are two more they're both short Antifa arrived in the US in the 1980s, growing from the punk and anarchist subcultures like Anti-Racist Action or ARA which started in Minnesota in 1987. Through the 1990's and 2000's chapters spread to major cities often aligned with other anarchists and anti capitalist groups After 2016 antifa exploded into public consciousness following the election of Donald Trump What is it about Minnesota?

45:20 strong, the stormtroopers and other right-wing paramilitary groups. Soon the movement spread all over Europe. This early Antifa was Marxist Stalinist in its ideology and controlled by the Soviet aligned KPD and its goal was to eliminate political rivals on both far right and democratic left including social democrats. It was a true communist movement after Hitler came into power He imprisoned or killed political rivals, especially the communists. In fact despite modern myth Dachau concentration camp was not built for Jews it was specifically built in 1933 to hold political and social criminals with a focus on the Antifa Communists

46:01 After World War II and the defeat of the Axis powers, Europe's Antifa groups disbanded or simply rebranded. Anti-fascism was absorbed into mainstream democratic institutions coming to the United States as a pro Marxist movement." Yeah well yeah they don't have headquarters but I think that minute you say I'm Antifa... You're a terrorist! Well, let's go to the next two clips. The rest of this history so there are two more they're both short Antifa arrived in the US in the 1980s, growing from the punk and anarchist subcultures like Anti-Racist Action or ARA which started in Minnesota in 1987. Through the 1990's and 2000's chapters spread to major cities often aligned with other anarchists and anti capitalist groups After 2016 antifa exploded into public consciousness following the election of Donald Trump What is it about Minnesota?

47:01 Why is this such a hotbed for organizations like this? I wondered about that myself. Like, what?! So then part three kind of wraps it all up Trump repeatedly condemned Antifa labeling it a domestic terror group although Barack Obama holdovers in the FBI and Department of Justice never formally did The political left including the mainstream media outlets refused to label Anitfa as a criminal organization or domestic terror organization. This was despite the billions of dollars in property damage, physical harm and loss of life while they continued to claim that far-right groups were committing the major crimes

47:39 And here's where myth and reality diverge. Antifa was never a centralized organization, as it had no national leadership, no bank accounts, no headquarters and no official membership cards It operates as a loose decentralized network of activists often organizing through affinity groups social media or encrypted messaging apps There are no known formal leaders and that is by design In fact Antifa prides itself on being leaderless and horizontal in structure. There are key figures, many anonymous... Wasn't this exactly why Scott Besson said we're following the money? We're going to find out who is funding them which we all know eventually comes back to Open Society Institute it has too

48:24 Well, if you so there was a so if we go to the Newsmax right squad They talk about and Tifa funding and enabling And I find it really interesting the way you hear Just listen. It's really kind of there's there's some it is four parts The third one I really can't stand but it's okay So let's go through that the news max right squad which is talking about Antifa. dangerous, radical left disaster as a major terrorist organization. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding Antifa be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. So Mercedes, I'm really interested to see what comes out of the investigation as to who is funding Antifa- Goodness. And actually enabling this group? It's about time. I'll tell you right now Matt's at CPAC Australia

49:33 And I would say about two or three years ago, Antifa showed up to the CPAC event. Threatened violence, threatened to kill them tried to get into the room it was a major security issue and Tifa is a worldwide organization that spends time with intimidation and violent tactics that it's been unchecked for far too long. So we need to get down to the bottom of who is funding Antifa? They have caused so much destruction in this country, but let me tell you they're in other countries as well as we've seen in the case of Australia. Interesting comment from The Troll Room that Minnesota borders on Canada Yeah, there's that That may make it easy for elements to come in first stop

50:20 Yep, there's that. But I'm on the border too and... Well yeah! Exactly exactly it's a horrible state with a horrible governor So if you go to the next step Are you on the train tracks? What is what do i hear out there Oh, that's my grandfather clock. Okay sounds like a train going by okay all right 1800s grandfather clock the thing is lovely but it is noisy so the next in the series of this Newsmax we get

51:00 A guy who I think totally wimps out and this is what i hear in most media, is this guy. Good thing that we're designating this hate group as a major terrorist organization? Well I'd like to see who the leaders are...who are they? Yeah! Bring them out let's look at it! There are some questions about what Antifa is, who they are. So if we're going to designate them a terror organization we should know who they are before we even get to whose funding it and all of that. As far as attaching it to the political violence that we've seen recently, there's no connection. Tyler Robinson isn't connected to Antifa he is not connected to anybody. Well I don't think this has anything to do with the terrorist organization- Okay fair enough but if you're using that as a jumping off point which is seems like then its clearly because your worried about political violence The political violence we have seen recently has not been from anybody connected to any global organizations at least as far law enforcement told us so far Who was this guy?

52:00 Oh, I forgot to get his name. I don't think they ever identified him He's this black guy who just is completely an apologist and coming up he's the supposed to be the voice of the other side And and he's you know We know that it doesn't have a leader so we know that it doesn't have clear things You know what? Why is he making this big excuse? Um, I had the last one which was final which just annoyed me even more Did you miss number three number three is the one you hated We just heard number three. No that was number two oh, what's it? Okay well number three is also another wimp okay? Well it has definitely long overdue look antifa was founded in Germany in the 1930s And they're a left-wing terror group and they have been from the very beginning They've been terrorizing germany for years home invasions and kidnappings and a great deal of violence by them and

52:53 And I said, you know how the Democrats are all upset that federal agents might wear a mask when they're on a raid like a surgeon to conceal their identity from the gangs that are here from Venezuela and Mexico and El Salvador because of the Democrats? Honestly these Antifa people were looting and burning Port and Seattle with their black uniforms, their black ski masks, their black mask to conceal their identity. And you notice that the Democrats never said a word about them wearing masks and covering up their identities when they're burning cities to the ground and looting- I just got a note from the constitutional lawyer Rob he says conspiracies don't need to have a leader to be illegal thank you Rob good point yeah conspiracy is conspiracy so then you can be a terrorist conspiracy

53:40 Well, these guys are all... it's also blah blah blah chat chat chat. We can play part four, it's final. I think it's short and then I will get to my point. Antifa for the past, specifically 10 years in the United States has been showing up to every protest whether it's creating their own protests from the left wing or showing up to right-wing protests including even a libertarian free speech event in Massachusetts a few years back and assaulting people causing terror taking over state buildings federal buildings, tossing rocks at police officers. And if you ask people who have covered these riots over the years they tell you that no matter where they are in the country seemingly these same Antifa people with the same hats and the same T-shirts show up every single event so someone is paying for them to fly around the country. Alright agree somebody's paying for it

54:36 So, meanwhile there's these great guys on YouTube. You know Nick surely is the one who has become the most well-known but there are other guys like Tyler Olivera although he does more long form but the best of all that I found is called Nate Friedman and Nate Friedman mostly goes to...I mean just goes to this different events and he actually laid out everything on who these people are. He's identified people, he's taken pictures, he has a rundown of the protest money it's kind of long clip it's two minutes but how come our news sources can't do this? Let's not ask the hard questions if he has answers I'm interested They hosted a vigil for Ayatollah Khomeini in Washington Square Park in New York City I plan on interviewing the people who set it up

55:30 What ended up transpiring was something else entirely. To follow the money, we see that this vigil was endorsed by the World's Worker Party. The World's Workers' Party was founded in 1959 as a Marxist-Leninist organization that wants to dismantle capitalism. WWP leaders helped launch one of the most visible protest coalitions in the country—The Answer Coalition—a group you see printed on almost all the protest signs across the country They get a lot of their money from Soros through their fiscal sponsor, The Progress Unity Fund which gets their money from The Tides Foundation. And George Soros gave $25.8 million to the Tides Foundation in just one year! According to reporter David Korn by 2002 the Answer Coalition was widely described as operating as a front for the Communist Workers World Party

56:15 Korn noted that several leading figures within ANSWER, including spokesperson Brian Becker were members of WWP. He also reported that many answer chapters operated out of Workers World Party offices and that speakers at ANSWER press conferences were frequently WWP activists this. the party for socialism and liberation, another name that you see printed on so many signs. Today Becker hosts political education classes at the People's Forum in New York City while calling the shots at mass protests across

57:08 putting signs into two vans? Well, his lectures at the People's Forum include Lenin and The Path to Revolution and History of the Communist Manifesto. We know those educators at the People's Forum can be paid close to $80,000 dollars to protest. Sarah Flanders who we were just speaking about has spent decades cheerleading America's enemies Here she is in a group photo proudly standing in front of the PFLP flag and protesting with Sammy Dune alongside another protester that you know quite well. So this just a little bit about what's behind this vigil, more to come as my investigation is ongoing." Alright so it's... we're back to the same old same old people

57:43 Exactly. It's nothing changed, but if it's common knowledge how come everybody is like oh we don't know who they are and what are we going to do and how do we follow the money? I mean hello! So if...I've got a gut feel that basically where he makes a comment about Walz and Nick Shirley and I think this is It sums a lot of this up for me. First, I got to talk about Waltz first because he said we're only hearing about it because of the prosecution No you tried to silence the whistleblowers Yeah You smeared people who want to investigate Because any look into the Somali fraud you were considered racist There are two reasons why we're hearing about this Because Kamala picked him as VP Because she felt he was less gay than Mayor Pete When in fact he makes Mayor Pete looks like Chuck Norris And also

58:36 We know, we really know about this stuff because some 23 year old Mormon named Nick decided to do what journalists used to do and hit the pavement. He actually went to the story, which myself included nobody does. It's like we sit, we surf, find out now Nick Shirley is doing the work for me click click click and he did the work. You need to work for everybody I mean, and I think that's why you're hearing about the hospice stories in California. It's a fitting story for California because California is in hospice just make this day comfortable Yeah But at the same time, in Washington anyway we are having our independent journalists under attack. And I have a clip of Washington State journalism and this is Brandy Cruz who does a really nice podcast for Washington state

59:26 There's clearly something also going on in Washington state with some of these Somalis who are supposed to be running daycare organizations. And so they're out there doing the work that the legacy media won't do and look, sometimes journalism is uncomfortable. Sometimes journalism means going and knocking on doors. That's what you do and it used to be a widely accepted practice. I know that because i was in TV and I hated it So knocking on doors and surprising people or chasing them down to ask for comment, that's something journalists do. Or they did! And so if your complaint is that Jonathan or Cam Higby or Nick Shirley are putting a camera in people's faces? Journalists have been putting cameras in peoples' faces for as long as journalists have had cameras! Oh you're an idealist now I get it Mimi You really have this feeling that people can be independent journalists on YouTube which is probably the stupidest thing ever

1:00:17 Ask Andy No. Where's Andy no? He basically got de-platformed and annihilated after he got his ass kicked What she's talking about is our state has actually, they're pushing two different bills to make it illegal to record anybody in either a public office or harass people with the camera. We can't have that! No we can't have that no no no no no this is the system is a lot bigger and a lot tighter than people realize Well, there's also someone who has come up with locally who has a substat column and he is actually exposing some of the judges in judicial things. And his articles are good you know they're fairly well researched I mean it's a fun read but now one of the judges is suing him demanding that he take down all of his articles or face $2,000 a day in fines and its like

1:01:16 Our judges are elected as a public figure. He should be able to write anything he wants about him But there is this move to like oh god, we have to crack down because we have the major media handled They'll say whatever we want but now what we have to do is These other idiots me the freedom fighter The only thing that works is podcasting nothing else works you'd be eliminated from all other platforms I see it every single day Including Substack. Substack is on deck, it's gonna happen! The minute you bring money into the equation with advertising or subscriptions... You're a target It doesn't work So with the mainstream media not willing to... Because of course they are also compromised when it comes to funding groups like Antifa Whatever else, the whole World Workers Party

1:02:14 We have an incredible... the socialists slash Marxist slash communists have had quite a stronghold in America since before I was born. We had the Red Scare, turns out that wasn't all that crazy Now we have these groups working kind of hand-in-hand They call it The Green-Red Alliance So its socialist, marxist and muslim brotherhood It's all part of the same thing and what will happen if certainly if the Muslim Brotherhood, and people are so worried about Islam and Muslims. That's not your problem The Muslim Brotherhood is the problem they are also deemed a terrorist organization in America

1:03:00 And they need to be taken care of because those guys, and this has happened throughout history. They will kill the Marxists in the end. The Marxists will be the ones who get killed so that'll kind of fix that but we don't want that to happen and what the mainstream media does is well now let's be afraid of each other other. In West Bloomfield, Michigan 41 year old Ayman Mohammed Ghazali originally from Lebanon rammed a truck full of explosives through the doors of Temple Israel driving down the hall exchanging fire with security guards. Yesterday's attack was anti-Semitism it was hate plain

1:03:52 plain and simple. Authorities say Ghazali, who became a US citizen in 2016 recently posted that an Israeli strike on Lebanon killed his two brothers, a niece and nephew at Old Dominion University in Norfolk Virginia professor and Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shaw killed by a man with ties to ISIS what the FBI suspects was an act of terror the suspect 36-year old Mohammed Jalloh who opened fire in a classroom was convicted in 2016 attempting to provide material support to ISIS trying to acquire weapons for an attack in the United States. He was released from prison in 2024 after serving eight years of an 11-year sentence Thursday's attacks came during a tense two weeks since the beginning of the war on Iran with authorities repeatedly warning of higher risk for the US homeland You made such an excellent point on the last show that ISIS and Iran are

1:04:39 are like they are polar opposites, they hate each other but here just mortal enemies kind of get folded into each other. We have been in a heightened state of alert in New York City since the start of hostilities and Iran last weekend two teens were charged with bringing homemade bombs to a protest outside New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's house and what authorities deemed it attempted ISIS inspired attack and at the onset of the war a deadly mass shooting at a bar in Austin Texas where a gunman wearing a t-shirt with an Iranian flag went on a murderous rampage just hours after the US and Israel... Oh, that's interesting. He was not wearing it he was wearing a sweatshirt that said property of

1:05:15 Allah not a shirt with an Iranian flag, but doesn't matter you get the point be afraid of the war A deadly mass shooting at a bar in Austin Texas where a gunman wearing a T-shirt with an Iranian flag went on a murderous rampage just hours after The US and Israel first struck Iran that attack killing three and injuring more than it does another's Law enforcement officials are clear, Martha. The US and Israeli strikes on Iran are causing a surge in threats particularly anti-semitic threats aimed at the Jewish community and the recent pattern of violence they say combined with Iran's retaliatory rhetoric warrants heightened vigilance So in the 18 years John I've been doing this show

1:05:57 There's always an old friend, an old friend that always crops up every couple of years and our old friend is back. I'm joined now by Congressman Adam Smith the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee good morning to you congressman You heard that report from Aaron Kutersky about these attacks on US soil It's something we've talked about for years these lone wolves but has this war sparked these do you believe? Well, it's exacerbated the problem without question. I think would be wrong to say it sparked and we've seen these attacks before this war. We have a long running problem with very terrorist organizations associated with ISIS trying to strike us here on our own soil. We need to be prepared for those.

1:06:41 the This war and this conflict is without question spreading right now. It's the lone wolf that is back, you're not safe anywhere be afraid everybody! You can't keep people safe everywhere but do you believe the federal government should be doing something to help here? To help protect people what can you possibly do Yeah, well I mean absolutely. We have an ongoing counterterrorism effort that's coordinated with the Justice Department and various intelligence services we need to make sure that we're doing that. I worry a little bit over the course of last year-and-a-half starting with the Doge process we have driven out a lot of our talent within the bureaucracy within the Justice Department within our intelligence services. We know a lot of Iranian experts

1:07:42 left the Justice Department right before this started. Trump's fault! Part of the ongoing purge, so I think it's worth Congress in particular doing oversight. Do we have people in those places who are doing the best possible job to protect us? It is more important and a tougher job right now than it ever has been So... Yes So, okay there's one. Okay you finish what you're gonna say because then I have something I want to insert What i was going to say is that I'm dusting off another one of our favorite jingles Uh oh! Hold on It's coming people it's coming and you can still license this US government we've been trying to license this jingle to you for years and its here for you when your ready

1:08:26 So, if we go to... I have a clip about Phantom Fireworks. And Phantom Fireworks was where the Philadelphia kids bought their fuses and that's where the West Bloomfield Synagogue came up with their explosives so i'd like you to play that clip Recently released footage shows the suspect in the Michigan synagogue attack, Ayman Mohammed Ghazali purchasing thousands of dollars worth of fireworks on March 10th. This was just days before Ghazali drove a vehicle laden with explosives into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township near Detroit according to the Department Of Homeland Security. Ghazali told a store manager he was shopping for fireworks for his family and an upcoming Eid celebration marking the end of Ramadan.

1:09:14 He purchased a variety of fireworks including aerial fireworks and fire crackers, making two trips with the final sale amounting to $2,250 according to the store. William Wymer, Vice President and General Counsel for Phantom Fireworks said in a store where purchases of 5,000 and 10,000 dollars are not unusual, Ghazali did not raise any suspicions since he explained what event he wanted the fireworks Yeah. So where'd they get the explosives? They got them in a Bantam Fireworks that has key showrooms in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Indiana, Vermont Alabama and New Mexico! It's our right as Americans to buy fireworks it's our right

1:10:02 But meanwhile, they're totally banned in Massachusetts. They're restricted in Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Illinois You know all the places I don't want to live. I need my fireworks baby fireworks But hey, but whatever you whatever you think about not being safe Yes Who who I want to know who spends $10,000 at a time on fireworks Oh girl I got friends who spend that kind of money on fireworks. They're crazy! Do they do it for the Fourth and New Year's Eve or do they do it for the end of Eid? No, Hallow's eve... no, they do it first for the fourth and for new year's eve And we have you know 290 between here in Austin there must be 50 of those Fireworks cabins at this side of the road It's a it's an American thing We'd like to blow stuff up so what we do good at it

1:10:58 Oh, see up on the West Coast. The insurers have pushed to completely ban them Because because of the fire danger and because people you know the hospitals get tired of dealing with blown-off hands But it's like when the news says oh well he had explosives. Oh yeah They don't mention the fireworks part now their legal their legal class C fireworks okay guys Which bring And now we've got drones at the Oscars, right? Well wait before I'll let you go there in a minute. But first we have to be afraid about the Internet on the homeland In the homeland in this height the homeland the homeland on the homeland

1:11:42 But we had all these horrific incidents, including that 41-year old man who drove a car with explosives into Michigan's largest synagogue. He was an unnaturalized US citizen. Brothers were members of Hizballah. Who had recently been killed in Lebanon along with their children. We don't know yet if the attacker was involved with Hizballah but what do you understand about the threat picture at home? Margaret, the diversity and volume of terrorist threats to this country has never been higher. We have a broad range of threat actors in play individuals inspired and directed by countries like Iran, by foreign terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and ISIS, and individuals motivated by domestic political grievances and racial animus and more at the scene

1:12:24 time the internet has been a force multiplier for terrorism. Individuals have such easy access to content online that can radicalize them and importantly, such easy access to information on tactics techniques and targets which means that they can plot their attacks more quickly and make their attacks more effective but What that really means is we need a whole new model for counterterrorism in this country. That includes law enforcement, but also includes members of the public. I think digital ID needs to happen really quick come on bring it in people. It's still making people really nervous. Even just in New York you had the two Pennsylvania men to US citizens who were arrested they were going

1:13:08 protest the anti-Muslim protest in New York, but they claim that they had ties to ISIS. It's not clearly directed by a state it's not clearly directed by anyone. Inspired? How do you protect yourself or Well, what we have to think about today is not just how to enhance physical security protections at targets. Certainly the government has a role to play in helping synagogues churches mosques schools and others and putting up security barriers training security officers in those physical security enhancements We also really have to double down on information and intelligence sharing. That's a government function, but it also has to include the public and what I mean by that is the threat landscape is so dispersed there are so many tentacles of this. When individuals in communities see individuals that may be exhibiting signs of violence they have to ask for help

1:13:57 from law enforcement, from a social worker, from mental health worker. Because the pathway and the path to radicalization and mobilization is just so rapid. And I do think Johnny that the Iranian regime has demonstrated incredible capacity to be flexible and adaptive They played a long game here. They have invested in propaganda and tools in this country as well as just hiring people to do their dirty work for them, to such an extent that I am concerned that they have the intent and the capability if not direct attacks here on the homeland to inspire them. Yeah, that's your CBS News attacks on the homeland. They're inspiring then they're buying people head-on a swivel! And the stability of that regime

1:14:36 It's funny, the regime and the command and control over the asymmetric capabilities that Iran has to include for example proxies that may seek to do Americans harm. Sleeper cells in United States and more so as we do think about the new supreme leader I'm thinking about from a homeland perspective whether that individual has a command and control over the tools that could in fact harm Americans Margaret And these are open questions. We're going to try to get answers too, thank you.

1:15:17 the border between Iran and Armenia as Iranians look to flee the chaos. Hi Steve. Morning, the US reporting encrypted messages coming out of Iran in wake of a death of a supreme leader on February 28th these encrypted messages perhaps radio messages... That's your shortwave ham radio message? Yeah that's the numbers station. ABC News is reporting that an alert has gone out to law enforcement warning about the possibility of sleeper cell attacks in the US. President Trump addressed the risk of a sleeper cell attack. They've been trying for a long time, we've been very much on top of it We're watching every single one of them Yeah! We know alot about them

1:15:57 The biggest problem we have is the Democrat shutdown. We know a lot about them, but the shut down doesn't allow us to do what we have to do. It's the Democrats! They they have shut down Department of Homeland and Hunterland security. And yeah... Meanwhile, a lot of things like the two kids from Philadelphia. You know I mean that's mental illness we don't have any facilities for mentally ill kids we don't lock people up because they're crazy and his attorney keeps talking about how oh well he has a lot of compound problems that's why you couldn't go to school for senior year that's why you know he withdrew from the world

1:16:42 Okay, is this really a Is this really a terrorist ideologic thing or is it the kid is suffering and he's mentally ill and psychotic? I mean, that's... You know, a lot of these things to keep happening are people who we would have locked up. Half of our population is mentally ill if not from over medication of SSRIs from non-stop scrolling on social media Oh absolutely Absolutely, I cannot believe the amount of nonsense. I keep finding that's just like These people scare me Good we even have Mimi scared now all right well done boys Which of your Oscars clip do you want to play here? um I think

1:17:38 Oscars, Oscars, Oscars is a good place to start. Security for the event is the tightest it has ever been and for good reason! So here's what we know... The Oscars are the first major event in the US since the war in Iran broke out There could be sleeper cells from Iran and other terrorist entities in the U.S Could be. And yes, there has been talk of drone threats on the West Coast prompting the LAPD and several other law enforcement entities to take extra precautions to keep everyone safe So you will see the area around Hollywood and Highland closed and gated off with a strong police presence? Yes all that sounds scary Here's what is important officials say that there is no intelligence To suggest LA or The Oscars are a target We're just being extra cautious Keep that in mind as we enjoy The Oscars

1:18:24 Sunday yes on Sunday ABC 8 p.m.. Make sure you tune in to see if they blow anybody up Well then we have extra TV I thought that the Oscars Oscars Oscar's which had I guess the president of the Academy They I thought there sound like they were talking down two 2 year olds and You know, they're... Yes. Yes? There we go so the extra TV has a- They're trying to go with the more officious take on it What am I looking for here? Extra TV! Yeah, I found it Every year we monitor what's going on in the world Oscar's executive producer Raj Kapoor just spoke out about the reports We have the support of the FBI and the LAPD So did California Governor Gavin Newsom

1:19:17 Drone issues have been always top of mind. Events like the Oscars are some of the most heavily secured venues in the country. We spoke with counterterrorism expert... A guy can't even stop his city from burning, oh drones are top-of-minds! The internet is the largest pre-attack intelligence environment in the world. The threat monitoring online which is happening nationwide right now coordination between federal and local agencies. is to detect threats early enough and prevent them long before they ever reach the venue. Today, the FBI tells Extra it routinely works with local law enforcement to share intelligence and provide resources where needed. Man someone should just fly a drone over that thing

1:20:00 Well, then we have the ABC 7 which talks about the preparations in Los Angeles. Well of course they should be hyping that up because it's their network! We also spoke with the LAPD's incident commander for The Academy Awards he tells us they've been preparing for The Oscars for months It's an event with some 3500 guests in addition to all those working in and around the venue Some of the visible resources include barriers like K-Rails and fencing along Hollywood Boulevard where stars will arrive and walk the red carpet Commander Randy Goddard tells us they're coordinating with federal agencies like the FBI as well as intelligence partners and the local fire department. He also stressed there are specialized resources behind-the-scenes, adding that while there is no intelligence to suggest Los Angeles or the Oscars are a target when it comes to possible drone threats from Iran it doesn't mean that they don't prepare

1:20:52 We've planned for other things that we maybe haven't seen in prior years, but we have resources that will be on scene to address those unique circumstances that may occur so they can be addressed quickly and prevent anything from growing out of control. And the closures here around the area along Hollywood Boulevard are pretty significant. So it's difficult to get really up close to see the action on Oscars Sunday, uh, the commander that we spoke with also recommends if you can avoid the area there is going to be a lot of traffic so it's best to do that reporting live in Hollywood Annabelle Munoz ABC 7 I would love lovely lovely Are you gonna watch tonight? You're gonna watch the Oscars or you're gonna check it out and make sure yes, I understand

1:21:38 I understand that you're like the Oscars expert. Is this true? No, no! I'm more the Grammy guy to look for the Satan segment That's my job is...I need to look for the Illuminati and Satanism which is usually easy to find But you know all the crazy things that have happened at last Oscars events like what happened in 2017? Yeah, I bet this is the clip you want me to play. No no not yet Nope, not yet. No. No yeah, this is just a question This is more of an ask Adam was not prepared for this but 20 17 yeah, I can't remember last week

1:22:23 2017 who was hosting that might help me. Do you remember who was hosting? Well, it was No, actually I don't care about that. I just thought it was funny That was the year that La la land was wrongly announced as the winner instead of moonlight It was in the trades for years four months after that Oh my god How did they mix up? Vaguely remember this I don't think I've seen either those movies And then in 1969, the Oscars had a tie for best act actress. Barbara Streisand for Funny Girl and Katherine Hepburn for The Lion and Winter both won in the same category. How did that happen? Well, they couldn't make a decision

1:23:15 Well, they could not give it to Katharine Hepburn but then Barbra Streisand's movie was the one that was the most popular vote. And then The Stir in 2000? Do you remember The Stir in 2000? I don't remember... Was that the Dixie Chicks? That's when the Angela Jolie kissed James Haven her brother on the lips for a long, long time. Wow yeah that was good but the absolute best to me is three years ago and that you can play the clip You know who got the hardest job tonight? Javier Bardem and his wife are both nominated now if she loses

1:23:55 He is praying that Will Smith wins, like please. Lord! Jada I love you, G.I Jane too can't wait to see it. Oh yeah. That was a nice one okay. I'm out here uh oh Richard. Wow Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me Gotten about that Yeah It's an Oscar history. Yes, do you know how the Oscars are picked? I mean are you aware of how they pick up well doesn't Academy send in a sealed vote and

1:24:50 Well, actually screeners go out to the 10,000 members of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Arts and Sciences. Right including John C Dvorak he gets them too No, he doesn't yes He does always says I got a screener is always saying you guys is he lying about the screamers? no, no, no, no that it's greener when ten thousand members get them they all send him You know They would watch the movie then they they're not supposed to their supposed to destroy them but they sent him out I know this because Years ago. I dated Jack Cooper whose father was Jackie Cooper and Jack do I know Jackie Cooper? This is a reference that I think is beyond the champ the Newspaper man in suit at the newspaper guy and Superman Jackie Cooper one of the longest living actors won like a billion Max Jackie, Jackie Cooper was a very very famous

1:25:47 He was in the little Our Gang. He was one of the kids in our gang he basically his entire career was... Was he Uncle Fester? No, he was okay. Nope. Nope. Thanks trolls Well maybe I Never watched that show. I had never watched that show But the thing was is that you know Jackie always got the screener So after Jackie died? I went down to help Jack sort out his father's things and He just takes out this like suitcase full of stuff because here's all the screeners from this year. Why don't you take them nice

1:26:26 And I went, well how does it work? And he said well they vote in two rounds. So first you do nominations and members can only vote for that branch their branch of the industry so if your...so and then all members vote for the best picture So when it came to something like 1969, the popular vote was Barbara Streisand but the head of the Academy said well we can't you know this is the only time Katherine Hepburn's ever gonna get a chance to get an Academy Award so they there was It was a pity award. I'm pretty sure these days they vote by skin color and gender that would be my guess That's pretty much how it's determined. Really, I only like the dead segment That's kind of my favorite the in memoriam Oh yeah! I haven't been to a movie in a theater for long...I can't even remember the last movie I saw at a theater

1:27:23 Although I hear Hoppers is a very good movie to go see. It's a Pixar long cartoon, but it's supposed to be quite interesting. Now, I think the big one this year is Sinners which I have not seen? I haven't seen it either. Not familiar with it. No. Well... I'm not going to see until it hits Netflix you know let's face it Yeah we just watched the Melania movie. Movie is a big word. Documentary Yeah, okay. It was nice you know it's completely lost on this American public of today and she's trying to... She really trying to make something out of the White House and I think it's underappreciated but she seems like a very nice lady actually

1:28:08 The press doesn't cover her at all. Well, no she's married to the evil orange man You can't have that yeah 20 years they've been married for 20 years I didn't realize it was that long you know You know this entire you know? I don't I really don't understand again My world is country over party so oh how old-school you are Mimi No, I am so old school. I'm showing my age aren't I um and Yes, there was an ant on it and I'm not used to having ants okay Then why don't we thank a few people for supporting the best podcast in the universe currently we have Oh 1542 trolls who are no actually 1632. Okay, that's all right. I didn't scare them all away. Um

1:29:10 Well, isn't this a holiday weekend? Do we have St. Patrick's Day once in Patrick says that this Monday is it today one is its Ides of March when is this happening don't you say Patrick's it's the 17th but I think everybody started drinking yesterday oh yeah no it's definitely a holiday weekend but people are in the troll room and they're reasonably nice there's only one guy who really doesn't like you Oh really is it John Hmm. Interesting IP address I see there, yes." John's like, "'I gotta get back on the mic man! Mimi is ruining the show!' He didn't actually say that. I defended you."

1:29:50 It's fine. So these trolls are hanging out the troll room, they're listening live on some of these modern podcast apps which you can find at podcastapps.com and you can support us with time talent and treasure which well the treasure part is financial but then we also have different ways people contribute with Boots On The Ground I got a lot of let me find him now...I got a lot of boots on the ground from our air traffic controllers. Oh, good! Yes and they said, Mimi's wrong she's so wrong there is no AI in the pipeline to replace controllers FAA or contract there's an increase of automation for example DATIS PDC so that's weather also one of our producers actually he's worked on the new NOTAM system

1:30:49 Let me see, so we got the... that was Sir Wags, Knight of the Martin State Class Delta Airspace. We have the anonymous controller he and his wife are both controllers AI in ATC minimally based on the history of implementation technology and air traffic it'll be 10 years before ATC gets anything because government takes so long to install things So he says if you want 2026 technology, you'll have to wait until 2036. Contract towers they're operated under contract privately with the FAA very strict rules on that they can't just do whatever they want and let me see

1:31:30 Yeah, and another one from your servant of the skies I can assure you there's no scenario in which AI will be implemented anytime soon ATC needs the human-in-the-loop gut instinct that a I simply can't replicate and I agree. Well ice I wish police departments would Be more because right now there's a lot of AI routing with with emergency dispatch around the country in those it's horrible I mean, they just don't understand what you're saying. Well, I can tell you what's going to happen there It's just going to be AI answering the phone and sending out a drone and then the drone will go to the area Yeah Oh No this is happening This is guaranteed happening And then the drone will take a look like man We need to send a squad car up now looks like it resolved itself The end and all the rich people will have private security That's what Moe actually predicted that and I think he's quite right everybody else well drones

1:32:26 I recently re-listened to Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson. Great book! It was...I didn't realize it was a documentary You know that's where the term metaverse came from Yes, and I registered Metaverse dot com in 1994 maybe 1993 And at the time Neil Stephenson reached out he said as long as you don't sell anything with the term metaverse i'm okay with it And I think I wound up giving it back to him actually. Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure and he probably sold the Facebook for millions Probably! Again another exit strategy missed So that's a way that you can help us with your time and your talent or people make artwork and back on the scene

1:33:20 As the art pick for episode 1850, which of course we had to title Error Bars since we still don't know what Sam Allman's talking about.

So happy to see Nick back in the charts, much to Darren O'Neill's chagrin who was about to surpass Nick the Rat on the all-time chart No such luck, Darren Yeah, Nick the Rat good one brother!

1:45:22 Yeah, let's see I still have a couple of things that we We can talk about. I have Let me see we did the did the Oscars? Yes, and you could ask me anything you want about John and I sense if he's listening He'll get it'll get his heart rate up Oh Okay What other celebrities have you dated except for Jackie Cooper son? Well, some of them I can't talk about. You can mention their names, can you? No in some cases no. Are they in the witness protection program what is this? We want we're not okay wait a minute what happened to you can ask me anything you want that was fake news well okay I hung out with comedians yeah JFK jr did you date him JFK Jr

1:46:19 No, no, no candidate. No, no, no candidates. No No But um well I was I was friends with Robin Williams. I mean I met him Because I didn't watch TV and I was walking through the Holy City Zoo And I he was on stage and I just completely dissed him. I had no clue who it was Was this the Mork & Mindy days? It was the Mork and Mindy days right after he'd done Popeye, and I went walking through. And he said something to me—I was just heading back to the bathroom—and I told him you know hey i'll talk to you when I get back

1:46:56 And after the show he comes up and he goes, do you know who I am? And I hate that question. It really annoys me and I went who do you think you are? You know what you tell me? Uh, and love it was love at first sight Well we became friends We were good friends and um... Friends everybody air quotes friends What we'd do is after he'd show up and we'd go out and play on the playground, you know 2am after bar time And was this when he was doing a lot of coke or what? Well, yeah there was that but no we would go out it's just it's one of those things that you know You have to decompress. We went out to you know The coffee shops that were open 24 hours and hang out But that was always uncomfortable because people would always come up to him and want to talk to him and think that they knew Him because he was on more commending and he sometimes just needed to decompress so I'd be like let's go to the playground

1:47:51 And the first time he went, well I can't swing on the swings. I'm under contract and if I get hurt... I was like what kind of wimper are you? How many times did you get hurt as a kid on the swings? He went, never. So I go, so swing! We'd run around. At one point we have like five or six people with us and we do invisible baseball games and just act goofy. So I have a couple questions here obviously, question number one was he as funny when he was not on stage or in front of the camera? As he was off was he's the same hyper guy would he jump into voices and do crazy stuff

1:48:31 No, nope. He was you would be lucky in an evening if you got five words out of him he was very quiet introvert very Introverted matter-of-fact when he would come I was a day bartender at a comedy club and he'd come by When he was doing like Moscow on the Hudson And it was that movie that was a good movie I love Moscow and the Hudson. Well, he was getting Russian lessons at that point but that was right after his son was born, the first son Zachary and he'd sit at the bar and I would have to... And I knew something was bothering him and I'd go it would be 20 questions you know? You look sad yeah Was he depressed did you feel like a depressed kind of guy

1:49:15 He was moody. I think he was kind of moody, but he was just an introvert like I'm moody too you know it's fine So here's your choice of title for today show you can either choose Mark and Mimi or Or swinging with Mimi. It's up to you it's one of the You should wait until till my last set of clips we have a better thing there But the thing so that, you know I we just saw each other here and there We knew each other we talked we had lots of mutual friends um, you know Robin was very sweet character and he was very thoughtful and I always thought that you know He he had a lot of depth to him

1:49:56 But it was only when you get four or five people in the room that he turned into that guy, you know. I'm on let's perform. You know really sweet. That's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. I saw him about three weeks before he did himself in and here we'd known each other for years. And he is after a performance that he did at the Throckmorton Theater in Mill Valley. I'm there, we go out to dinner along with all the other hangers on everybody who was there. There were a whole table of comedians and I sat next to him and he leans over to me and really quietly says, I can't remember you." What? Yeah! Really quietly. And I went...I didn't know how to take it so I went well thats okay Robyn ill remember for both of us

1:50:50 Wow, just that was when he had Louie body disease. What is it called? Yeah. Yeah a Louis body dementia and you didn't know he did He thought he had Parkinson's And but that but that night the one thing that you know I've talked to other people with is he That night performing he actually stopped at one point like he had lost his words And that would have been the worst thing that could have ever happened to him. To anyone, to any comedian for sure But he was so you know I mean He was so dynamic in so many ways and you know that night when I saw him um...he had been doing improv like with Rick Overton and it's just brilliant to watch these things and Steve Pearl was there a lot of people were there and It it was like when I saw that hesitation and I you know, I know all these people fairly well it was like

1:51:38 Saw everybody kind of give each other looks like they all there are like what was happening to Robin it It was something but then he recovered really quickly and not and it's like I you know, I I don't see he had any choice You know, there's no way. He could have lived with a future of having no words Okay other people you might have dated Gilbert Godfrey perhaps that seems like a guy you might have dated We we had we hated Gilbert Gottfried he somehow at MTV they always decide oh, we're gonna bring bring Gilbert on for some segments

1:52:19 I'm like, oh no because you know we had time the segments had to be you know like within two minutes kind of and he was And then he would say all kinds of profanity and then the control room had to Okay Gilbert were burning that segment. The guy was a nightmare to work with a nightmare. I tell ya That's great. Um, but not as bad Paul Provenza he was the most stuck-up arrogant guy I know Paul prove Paul for Vincent Yeah No He was I hit there were that was they were both la comics? I mostly hung out with San Francisco Comics and there is a difference so

1:53:02 You know there was I mean comedy was really big. You know III had a comedy production company in Stockton California so I hired a lot of people, so I knew everybody and like how about George Carlin you ever hang out with him I never hung out with him, but i did see him multiple every time he was even close to the bay area or The reno. I would go see him so I saw him multiple times. That was a fan Yeah Oh huge He was he was I think it was important part of my development as a human being for A lot of people who listen to the show Yep, I saw um johnny carson

1:53:41 Performing as a comedian both in the theater and around San Carlos. Wow! And I guess was called The Circle Star, and then in Reno a few times because that's the other thing...I was raised in Reno and they always had really great shows. Okay but let's get back to the dating part. Who do you date? Which one of these wackos did you hang out with Sam Kinison? Were you in the squad with Sam in the roles? Sam Kinesaw I met a couple of times. He was very, very nice Unless he was in front of a lot of people. He was able But he could go but he was a child preacher so yes, just go he could it is brother I think it's still a preacher. I think so too on He could go into that bit and it was just like amazing I mean the control of his voice was unbelievable and And oh It was uh, he was something to see and he was

1:54:39 You know, I mean, I was a girl so he was on his best girl behavior with me. Um... I say that sarcastically. Yes, sure. Yeah, I mean Dana Carvey was around like all the time. He was cute who i love to watch was um Jerry Seinfeld he had the best Command of an audience I ever saw yeah, because audiences really are hard to you know audiences or have their An entire world of their own They come in they're either in a good mood. They're in a bad mood There's no predicting what an audience is gonna do but the one at the one time That I was because I would always watch the audience cuz I thought that was interesting so the first night that

1:55:29 Bobcat Goldthwaite came to San Francisco from Boston. Bobcat, another fan favorite! So we're in Cobbs, the old Cobbs pub it's this dank long building and he comes in no one knows who he is And he insisted on nobody introducing him. So, nobody had seen him so the place is packed because rumor was out that Robin was there that night and I don't know where these people came from they were some Robin network that went out there and all these people show up whenever he was rumored to be in town. So places packed probably double what The Fire Marshal wanted it to be. And i'm standing against a wall um...so I can see the audience and see the stage

1:56:15 And Kinnison art can get me on Kenneth said Goldthwaite, you know Bobcat just jumps on stage And he grabs the mic and he's completely disheveled. He looks like a homeless bum and he starts going Pretty much this whole bit right there yes it and then he starts Rambling saying all kinds of things in the audience was sat stiff upright And you can see they're not moving their heads, but they're trying to glance to the people next to them to see if everybody's like... are you freaking out? Because I'm freaking out. And the audience was absolutely silent for about the first four minutes and four minutes is a long time!

1:57:01 Then finally he went into this bit where he did like a Yalie accent Where he was doing some oh the guy on the bus and then he flips into this yalie accent You know, there's total upper crust Boston accent and it's the entire audience Exhaled at once. No you can see them just go. He's not an insane person. You can actually speak normally And then they were just, they just loved him. He was... and I'm afterwards we went to Paula Poundstone's house also Dana Carvey's house because they were roommates and uh i got to talk to him and he was the sweetest person I've ever- I mean he's just sweet and he was young and he was like kind of shrugging it off and I'd like I had to describe doing what the audience did and he said yeah I get that sometimes. No kidding?

1:57:51 Nice guy. Well, hold some for the next show I will okay but think of some good stories you know we need a little bit of dating mixed in there to keep everyone engaged Yeah Actors are also fair game. That's all fine, you know and maybe watch the Academy Awards So you know yeah I bagged him that guy just so he can let us well Well that was the horrible thing when I first started dating John cuz he Every good story the horrible thing when I first started dating John oh boy Well, he goes on really into comedy. So we went out to a comedy club and of course I never pay we just walk in and sit down And he looks at the acts to come you know what's coming for the next few weeks? And he goes have you slept with any of these guys when I went well, I didn't sleep with this one

1:58:42 All right, so on Thursday's show I presume John won't be back by Thursday. On Thursday show we want to hear the story of how you met and how John swept you off your feet Okay And now back to real news everybody big news in AI from Google! Well Google Maps has announced its biggest update in 10 years with a major AI makeover right here It's going to allow- AI MAKEOVER! You to ask complex questions that a map maybe couldn't answer before, like find out a public tennis court with lights for playing at night. Google says it will source that information from millions of reviews and websites and answers will include photos and also ratings. The company says that the power of Maps plus AI is different from anything else out there

1:59:31 So, based on your activity in maps the prior searches you may have done. Maps is what you use when you want to go out in the physical world so you can turn those flamps into actions instantly. Google also says that you can expect direction to sound a bit more natural than flow with on-map highlights faster it will also be easier to find alternative routes just in case there's traffic issues This is great! 1.3 trillion dollars invested and we have a better voice on Google Maps, it's fantastic well you know This leads me into my clips actually okay so What happens when you get? So dependent on the maps to tell you how to get home that you forget how to get home isn't that kind of like an ant

2:00:15 losing its queen. Are we all going to be wandering around if maps goes out, going oh my god I know I live here somewhere? Oh i think we're already there! I think we're already there definitely let's go into- Let's go into my...I have it says Palki Sharma Oh, from... what is it? She's no longer with YN. She's with the new... was it Formula One? The India TV or something like that. Oh, Paki! Hello Pakishwarma! Our next story tonight is about smuggling. No not gold or drug smuggling we will tell you about Ant smuggling. Yes, people are trafficking ants now mainly in East Africa Kenya has nabbed four ant gang smugglers They captured thousands of ants they were planning to sell these insects in Europe and Asia and hoping to make thousands of dollars

2:01:03 You heard that right, thousands of dollars for ants. So what's behind this strange trafficking trend and why are people buying smuggled ants? Well inquiring minds need to know! And then I have clip two... He had ants. He had ants alright. Kenyan authorities arrested and charged a Chinese national with attempting to smuggle 2200 live ants in his luggage Court filings seen by Reuters say 27-year old Zhang Keqin was arrested at Nairobi's main airport on Tuesday while he was trying to leave the country. Ant aficionados pay large sums to maintain colonies, the arrest comes amid a rise in cases of smuggling the insects last year prosecutors accused suspects of being part of an ant gang who tried to move the live insects inside plastic syringes packed with cotton balls

2:01:51 Four men were charged $7,700 each for trying to traffic thousands of ants. Experts said the case signaled a shift in biopiracy from trophies like elephant ivory to lesser-known species. Investigators said a search of Zhang's luggage recovered 2,238 ants including 1,948 packed in test tubes and the rest in three rolls of soft tissue papers Kenya's Wildlife Service said a similar consignment of ants had been seized in Bangkok on Tuesday that originated from Kenya, indicating the existence of a widespread and organized ant smuggling network. So there is money in these ants? Yeah! I mean... okay?! That's amazing What they're smuggling out of there are the giant African harvester ants where the queens are more than an inch long so um..I started looking into this it turns out that this is

2:02:45 keeping ants and growing ant colonies was a thing in Asia first, but it spread all around the world. There are people who have ant farms that are like built into the wall you know like old aquariums used to be and they have massive ants so I started looking into it even more So we have Kohl's Ants These are these are people who probably never get dates I'm Cole from Cole's Ants and today we're gonna be trying something a little different. Ant keepers and ant enthusiasts are kind of a growing hobby, still very niche but growing and it's a nice community, a colony if you will, and that colony

2:03:27 must grow. Because the hobby of ant keeping is just really fascinating and I love telling stories and bringing them to life, entertaining the people that just like watching ants and educating the people that want to keep ants! So today we're going to be talking about the hobby of ant keeping and to talk about this topic with me is my friend Nami who turned his hobby actually into a business he co-founded a site called Antlantis where he actually sells ants so Hey, Tommy. Hi everyone! Yeah no in the last year or so I decided with the help of my business partner Michael that i wanted to build a platform allowing people to not only just get healthy ant colonies but continue growing their ant colonies that they purchased from us So that's the vision that I see Atlantis being How many ant colonies do you have? Around 3 000 ant colonies currently around What?!

2:04:15 All right, I gotta play it. I got a chance Gotta play the whole thing yep haven't played in a while I don't know if he would hit an ants we had an invasion of I was thinking if you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to powder like a fine, fine grind black pepper. We were having dinner and uh... Yeah! I got an ant somehow in the meal And i ate it These things are peppery. I got ants.

2:04:57 I got ants. These ants, they don't need a lot and then you see when you find all the ones that are roaming around... Although I backed them off by doing the burning trick. ...these torch them. The only ant, there are occasional moments where there's an ant that you do not torch And that's an ant that is carrying one of the dead ants back. I got ants I got ants. I got ants. I got ants, ants, ants, yes. So first I never knew John was so trendy.

2:05:57 I have to credit that to... Sir Saturday Night Strokey Bill Walsh who passed away last year. He was the one that created that song, yeah. I love that song but John lives on a giant hill in Albany. On an anthill! And it's all Argentinian ants that have a giant mega colony that spreads from San Diego to San Francisco Yeah It is a mega colony So these people are bringing in giant Amazonian ants which are an inch and half long They're bringing in the harvester ants, they're bringing in carpenter ants that have a thousand different species. I don't like this and there's so many different YouTube guys out there talking about their ants and some of them raised two different colonies then put them together and have Ant Wars. It's... Like Robot Wars only with ants? I mean, I do not know the difference between that or I don't see how that is legal work

2:06:58 Cockfighting isn't, but whatever. It's just got it creeps me out so much oh my god I had no idea that was such a thing So i think you know we could certainly you know insect an ant gang What's a fist an ant gang for the show title a sophisticated ants smuggling network? Yeah, no I'll just I'll choose the titles Mimi. I still think more can be me or swinging with Mimi is better I'm sorry it's just oh but I haven't told you about swinging but okay next show everybody or not Hurry John hurry come back yes

2:07:45 Wow, I don't know. It's hard to transition to anything from where you just took us. I just have one more clip because this is...I've been keeping my eye on the pivot from AI to the next level and it appears that this IONQ outfit—I think they had a big data center in Chicago like the South Side or something So Fox Business News has the CEO on and listen to this blather. And the fact that some of these missiles and drones have managed to hit their targets. Well, we consider ourselves a close partner of this administration. The Department of War is front and center in the last week and indeed in really driving the quantum programs not only up into space and up in the air but on the ground

2:08:44 and even under the ocean. We are the only quantum company in history to reach our size, and we operate in all war funding domains from submarines up into the heavens. We've obviously been closely watching the last few weeks And we consider ourselves in pole position here to not only help expand our defensive posture, but also our offensive posture. This is a race against our adversaries it's not just a race against smaller adversaries like Iran that honestly don't have a quantum posture But there are bigger ones like China that obviously recognize that after AI Quantum is the next big technological wave

2:09:24 And so the US succeeding in that is all about, we believe INQ supporting the industry. INQ capitalizing quantum foundries the merchant supplier business and of course making sure that we lead in computing networking sensing and quantum cybersecurity. Yes there you go pivot is on the pivot is on Was he speaking English? Yeah, well this is the nonsense that quantum computing is here and it's the next step. It's going to be the next thing that everyone invest in after AI turns out to be nothing more than Google Maps that has a smoother voice and can find a tennis court with lights for you

2:10:03 Yeah, isn't that sad? Kind of. Well although I have to say I do Google to see if the laundromat what the busy hours are so there is that. AI could help you baby $20 a month good to go Have you heard about this gold heist in Hungary No, I have not heard of it. Hungarian authorities seized the contents of a Ukrainian state bank convoy that was making its way home from Austria. The assets are still being held, Hungary says it's investigating what it calls money laundering Our correspondent Ferenc Gahl has been covering this story and joins us now from Brussels. Ferenc, Ukraine's state bank says that the movement of cash and gold across Hungary was just regular bank transport

2:11:00 Hungarian authorities are saying it could be money laundering overseen by a former Ukrainian intelligence official. What exactly is going on here? The Hungarian authorities have claimed there have been suspicions of money laundering, it's not clear what exactly this could be now what we know now is that the detained Ukrainian nationals have been released and expelled from Hungary Hungary has even returned the vans to the Ukrainian bank but it has kept the assets within those vans. So, you know millions of dollars, millions of euros some kilograms of gold and from the beginning it has been there's a lot of doubt what the actual legal basis is for Hungary keeping these assets. Nine kilograms of gold! Oh that's just...that's normal? That's completely normal we put that in van every week going to Zelensky house come on this is so obvious

2:11:55 Don't hear anything, don't hear anything about Ukraine except for... there was my boy Rutte had something to say about how great Ukraine is. I mean it's vital indeed because of this totally unprovoked war of aggression of Russia Oh yes Russia has a full-scale invasion against your country You had to defend yourself and you are defending yourself, and I commend you for that my respect But you also had to innovate yes You were no one of the countries with the most knowledge and experience when it comes to drone technology And I don't acknowledge but also so much more. I every day I get reports Yes What do guys are doing in terms of innovation? What is now happening in the Middle East the fact that president Zelensky said I will send Ukrainian teams through the Middle East

2:12:46 To Gulf countries to help wait a minute. He's got people left over from fighting Russia to go help in the Middle East come on but it comes to drone technology and anti-drone technology I think is its testimony of that and But we also seeing is that European countries are investing in the defensive does your base in Ukraine? There are still untapped potential of 10 to 15 billion so a lot has being done, but still there is room for more and And of course what you were doing, fighting the Russians and keeping your country safe means indeed that you are on the forefront of innovation. So thank you for everything you're doing and we have to make sure you stay strong in a fight that means when it comes to interceptors for Russian missiles when it comes to other key and crucial defence industrial gear We have to support you and the US plays a big role here paid by Canadians and Europeans and we also need to keep that going

2:13:40 I just wanted to say thank you for your courage Ukraine. You're very good, very good with your drone technology. In effect you are very innovative and very good Is he sniffing in that thing? Am i hearing him going sniffing with his nose because it sounds like the only time I've ever heard people talk like that is after a lot of cocaine John has said that about him too, and I'm very bad at detecting cokeheads. The guy is such a nerd! He goes to work on his bike... he used to work in HR at Unilever with all the HR ladies. He's an HR lady and somehow became the Prime Minister of The Netherlands And then all the way up to the Secretary General of NATO It's baffling career

2:14:33 But he's Trump sales guy, so Trump seems to like him. You know that used to be the model for salesmen they always did too much coke and couldn't shut up Final clip after we're done in the Middle East. We have Cuba! Johannes de la Barra was born in Cuba People that never lived through this, to be an exile will never know what this is like That's why I understand the Iranian people and I understand the Venezuelan people She has mixed feelings about the headline that came out of a press conference with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel that Cuba is officially in talks with the US government

2:13:40 I just wanted to say thank you for your courage Ukraine. You're very good, very good with your drone technology. In effect you are very innovative and very good Is he sniffing in that thing? Am i hearing him going sniffing with his nose because it sounds like the only time I've ever heard people talk like that is after a lot of cocaine John has said that about him too, and I'm very bad at detecting cokeheads. The guy is such a nerd! He goes to work on his bike... he used to work in HR at Unilever with all the HR ladies. He's an HR lady and somehow became the Prime Minister of The Netherlands And then all the way up to the Secretary General of NATO It's baffling career

2:14:33 But he's Trump sales guy, so Trump seems to like him. You know that used to be the model for salesmen they always did too much coke and couldn't shut up Final clip after we're done in the Middle East. We have Cuba! Johannes de la Barra was born in Cuba People that never lived through this, to be an exile will never know what this is like That's why I understand the Iranian people and I understand the Venezuelan people She has mixed feelings about the headline that came out of a press conference with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel that Cuba is officially in talks with the US government

2:15:11 Sometimes you can't really negotiate with terrorists or dictators, but who knows? Stranger things have happened in history. So we shall see how this development truly expands and see what happens and how the Cuban community would react to it. I think we're just happy that something is finally being done. I think that we are finally in history at the right time, at the right place with the right president. Surprised is not a word anyone at Versailles used to describe the confirmation. CBS News had already reported that talks between the two countries were underway I think they're finally stating the truth, they can't hide it any further. It's been going on for awhile which we've been hearing has been going on. Marco Rubio has engaged in conversations with them but like always they always lie to us They have lied to us for 65 years

2:16:00 As far as and I'll go a little further. I'll tell you that what I would like to see come out of this Is it canel gets out and Castro gets out? That's the only thing that's acceptable to these through the community You ever been to Cuba no No, I know there's but Cuba's got a lot going on right now Well, they've got nothing going on nothing works they have they have no gas They got no oil they got nothing well If I'm on the next show, well...I have a bunch of Cuba stuff. I just didn't grab it all because I didn't finish last night You're holding back? You've got stuff in abeyance?! Alright! Uh yeah! Cuba on 1852!

That's okay. We'll keep it at that one Hey everybody, it's time to listen to another tip of the day brought to you by Mimi Dvorak All right all right this will probably get banned in Minnesota because it's called bear ice and

2:30:33 T-H-E-R-A, or ICE. It's a migraine relief cap it's about $30 on Amazon it's basically a bandana with eye shades that blocks out the light the cap has these gel inserts so you and it's got a ziploc bag so you put the cap into this zip lock bag you put it in your freezer for at least two hours And then you put it on and it is, it's not stiff. It's actually kind of jellish so it's always cold at last for a while. Um, it gives a little bit of gentle compression and um the cap has just, if it fits all head sizes, it's a little bit of compression. You put it over your head? Over your head, it covers your eyes. So it looks like a cap

2:31:20 Huh, is this for hangovers or what do you use? Oh yeah. Oh no it was for migraines hangovers It's if you've got a fever and actually is excellent for a fever These are really good products. Thera Ice also, it's good for about two hours unlike a big ice bag it doesn't leak on you and it's also pretty even temperature the whole time I think is fantastic It is important to put into the sealed bag Can you walk outside and walk around the neighborhood with this or will they scare the children? You'd walk into trees covers your eyes Okay okay And what is the name of this product again

2:32:02 It's Thera Ice, T-H-E-R-A I-C-E. They also have devices for your shoulder and your ankle and knee wraps so as you get old and you start having aches and pains they're fantastic but the migraine relief cap is really... You know, I'm a migraineer, I've had migraines all my life It explains my quirky personality. Ah, there it is everybody!
