I'm strong and getty. I think from a strategic standpoint, not a tactical standpoint, putting economic pressure on nations around the globe, I think, is a point of leverage that they feel that they have,

3:11not only in the short term, but in the long term. I believe that they're going to have an inventory now and be able to continue to threaten the streets or moves by any number of means for quite a while. And when the merchant shipping industry doesn't feel safe going through and the insurance rates are too high, they're just not going to do it. So I do think that Iran is making a, you know, it's maybe arguably a smart move. It's not a lawful move, but it arguably is a smart move. One of the most important shipping lanes in the world, 20% of the world's oil travels through there and there ain't none traveling out of there except for Iran exporting to China. There ain't no, uh, ain't nobody getting through. And the war is a little bit different now because Trump could have announced the war is over today, but that doesn't open the straight of hormones back up. Right. So Iran doesn't have many levers at all, but man, they've got some serious leverage over the Straits of Hormuz. Let's discuss that and more with military analyst Mike Lyons. Mike, welcome. How are you?

4:13Hey, good morning guys. Great to be back. I'm confused as to why we can't take out their ability to shoot at these ships. Five ships hit yesterday. Why can't we take that out? Well, it's a couple things. It's not just the ships. It's artillery batteries that are along the coastline. So think of this as like three ways that they could attack. They could attack close in from the coastline shores there because the straight of Hormuz is very narrow and it's well within artillery range and rocket range and they can swarm that way. They can also use ballistic missiles that come from far away. That might be able to shoot down or so, but that still remains as right. And then the last right is this asymmetrical threat from the RGC with small boats and with mines. Well, I don't think mines work in both directions. So I don't think you're just a lot more of those. But like small ships and small drone swarms that can impact the safety of those ships trying to get through the straits. And that point that was made by that individual there was very right.

5:15No matter how much the president can promise insurance and promise money if those ship carriers don't feel safe going through, they're not going to go through it. You've partially answered this question by your description of the situation, but what would the extent of military devastation have to be to eliminate their ability to choke off the strait? We have to bring 12 to 14 Arleigh Burke carriers, class carriers into that part of the world and just do nothing but bombs away and make sure that anything within a certain strip is decimated, let's say, right? Because there can't be any military capabilities from the close end battle. So if you were taking care of it, you would take care of that first. Always being watchful of the asymmetric threat because that's how the coal was attacked back in the late 90s. It was attacked by one of those small speedboats that blew a hole on the side of it. So I think that's the order of target lists is what they're going to go for.

6:16They're going to try to take out all these military targets along the coastline there and you know, desert storm type, you know, go after it for a week to the time. No one's full well that they have the ballistic missile threat somewhat to stand off and then always keep an array on the asymmetrical threat. And can that be done from the sky or is it going to require infantry? No, it would not, they're an infantry yet. I think when we put troops on the ground there, we won't see large formations, so they're not going to see the first armored division. But I think you'll see Jay Fock and special ops army rangers eventually getting to the nuclear facilities. There's about a half a ton of that material that has to come out of Iran somehow. The IAE is noted there and they said 60% in rich dream and they're not to make 11 bombs. Okay, so someone's going to go get that. That's going to take a, you know, troops on the ground to go do that. So whether or not that happens during the conflict or whether or not

7:17happens after the conflict remains to be seen. Well, just in general, we're 13 days in. How do you think things are going? Well, I think we're continuing to atrit their military assets. I listen closely to the chairman on Monday when he said we've degraded them significantly to 90%. But we haven't destroyed them as the president said. And 90% of 10,000 ballistic missiles is pretty good, but it still leaves them about a thousand to go. And so they only have to get a couple through when the one-off or what is getting us right now. It's the war of attrition coming from the air. We figured out that the arrow's archers thing. I think we've got that line down now. Now the issue is keeping the straits open. That's going to be a much more difficult military mission. How optimistic are you that we can get that done at all? Well, I think we can get it done. The question is how well we can get it done with not absorbing casualties with the oil markets remaining calm. The president speaks really to the stock market

8:22and to the oil traders who, frankly, are using this as an opportunity to prosecute price gouge. Let's face it, there's still plenty of oil out there in containers. No one is short of oil just yet. I mean, there's reserves that are in the world has. So this is a lot of much to do still about nothing, but this is how the market works. And this is how people can take profits and things like that. I talk to folks that drill for oil and in the Permian base in Franklin, they're all excited because this is what happens as the price goes up. But again, we just have to do continue to go. I still think the president's not stopping anytime soon. And the military targets are what they are. There's still 20, 20 targets to hit there and around. Okay, that's what I was going to ask. So we between us and Israel, we've hit 10,000 targets or something like that. That seems like an awful lot. I mean, are there practically endless targets or how does this work? Well, there are. I mean, again, when you hit a target the first time, it gets a certain

9:23percentage of degradation to it. And until you hit it four, five or six times, one, you can completely call it destroyed. I mean, that's really what it comes down to. You're hitting these targets sometimes for the first time. It causes them to change. The element of surprise is gone. We're going back and getting it getting one second or third times. But there's deep tunnels that Iran has been preparing this for 47 years, just like they've been at war for us for 47 years. So there's a lot of targets to go. I had a question, but what are you hoping not to see? What are you worried about? I hate to say this, but a math casualty kind of situation where they somehow get a rocket through. It hits a base and we have a more casualty than we'd expect. I mean, we go to war and we protect our forces best we can and we measure risk. But things can happen. It commanders to expect losses. It's one thing that's seven knocks on the door right now. It's one

10:23thing. I hate to say this, but if there's 20 or 30, I think that would be a tragic situation that I know the military is doing everything they can to prevent. But I news middle of the day yesterday was that Iran was on the verge of overwhelming iron dome there in Israel. You never know what's true and what's not in the fog of war. But at some point, man, these, these, you know, multiple rockets, drones, missiles coming in. It's going to be hard to protect our bases in Israel and everything else. No question. And I could tell you this, we've taken everything off the shelf for this. Just like we do in these conflicts, there's, there's electronic, connect non-kinetic type weapons being applied now to drones. It was up to your first academy earlier last week and there we have 8, 10 going after drones. I mean, there's a lot of creativity that always happens on the US side. Innovation is always our great strength and there's a lot of things happening there that are trying to take down this, this threat. But the point is how much

11:29can we trip them to all they have to do is get through one time for that kind of incident to happen and that does change the calculus of how we go. A curiosity is a lot of this knowledge or at least some of it coming from the Ukrainians. You know, we've had pilots with Ukraine, we've monitored what's going on there and it you'd be surprised that some of it is, but, but, but I think a lot of us is coming from us trying to develop and stay ahead of this because both them and Russia, Russia in particular has got tremendous drone technology. They've got them tethered, they're impervious to EMP that's electromagnetic alt. They've done so many different things to make them battle hard. There's a lot of spoofing taking place. What that means is they're projecting a certain signal of that they're out there, but they're actually not out there. That used to happen in World War II with blow up tanks and blow up equipment, but now that's happening on radar screens. And so again, American ingenuity and innovation is taking place in the battlefield.

12:32We're trying to help the Ukrainians on that side, but Russia seems to have innovated that as well. Interesting. Military analysts, Mike Lyons, yeah, Mike, super interesting and informative. We sure appreciate the time. Thanks a million. Great guys. Thanks for having me. So you've got fake drones appearing on radar screens just to further draw fire and attention. And, uh, man, if mankind was nearly as good at saving lives as they are taking them, we'd be, I don't know what we'd be, we'd all be living in a fantasy land utopia. So it's kind of driving me nuts this theme of some of the, a lot, all the left and some of the right. Still no explanation for why we're even doing this. What? It seems obvious to me. They declared war on us 50 years ago. They've been trying to kill us forever. Their capabilities are getting greater and greater. And they're, yeah, and they're trying to get a new clear, but and this is the weakest they've ever been. That's like the history of the world.

13:35A big enemy of yours. All of a sudden is really weak. Could, could time to take them out. Why is that complicated? I don't, I really don't understand why this is complicated, though, why now? Why are we doing? Because they're the weakest they've ever been. I just, I, it doesn't seem complicated to me, but, uh, I was going to make another point, but right after this rhetorical philosophical question for you, me, everybody listening, what percentage of folks out there are actually truth seekers as opposed to just trying to move the needle or make a point. Wow. That's, that's funny. That's actually trying to understand what's happening. I can't think any of that. That's my, that's all I want to do is know what's actually going on. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm a plenty of time time to talk about it. But mine, mine's being of like back in the, uh, Al Qaeda, some up in London. He's like, he declared war on us back in the 90s. You don't get to pretend that there's not a war going on. If the other side is at war with you, and it just seems not to me, but, but we did. So we talked last hour about the author Salman Rushdie when the fat wall and all that and all the people killed and everything like that. And a lot of the world just pretended like that.

15:41That's not a problem. We don't have to worry about that. My clients just brought up the USS cold. This is always driven me crazy. We had one of our warships attacked. A bunch of people died. That was in October of 2000. A month before a presidential election never came up. It wasn't part of the debates. It wasn't part of the election. It was nothing. We just pretended like we weren't at war with Iran and we got attacked or fundamentalist Islam. We just pretend it wasn't true. There was a place that it was over there. And our worship was over there. But if we're over here, it has nothing to do with our lives. How crazy is that? Oh, it's innocent. It's naive. I'd say any thoughts on any of that?

Multiple U.S. and California law enforcement and intelligence officials told CBS News, there is no known credible specific threat underpinning that alert, no information giving on the time, source method, or target of any such attack. This information shared last week with local law enforcement by the FBI's Los Angeles Division stems from an apparent tip in early February that surfaced prior to the war with Iran about unmanned aerial vehicles off the coast of the U.S. homeland. Almost a month and a half ago this went out. Why did this story just break? No, I did put on a helmet and I had my head on this with a long day long looking for Iranian drones. Appreciate your war footing.

20:57Joseph this earlier, I'm the same way. At no point did I have even the slightest concern about an Iranian drone attack and my well-being, not even the slightest. A couple of things. Well, first of all, in spite of the fact that there's no credible specific blah, blah, blah, the utterly unprincipled congenital liar governor of California, Gavin Newsom spoke on that topic, 44 Michael. We've been working collaboratively through the SOC, which we established right after the war began the state operations center, working with the office emergency service, but also working locally to make sure we transmit any information that we have received and we are aware of that information and we transfer that information in real time to our local partners. The important thing is the visual and leaders love when they get these opportunities. He was in suit and tie. Oh, Gavin in a tie. Standing in front of an American flag, I mean, it looked exactly like a presidential address, which he's trying to get into people's minds. Oh, he looks like a president. I can picture him being president.

21:58So I had originally heard that it was a threat against the West Coast, Jackson, California. I castigated him and accused him of abandoning our beloved listeners in both Washington state and Oregon. I sit corrected and apologize for my harsh words. Indeed, it was specific to California, according to this FBI warning, you know, who knows how credible it is exactly, but I've been reading up on it and the Iranians and really any military of any sophistication these days has unmanned ships that could go a long, damn way carrying unmanned drones that can be launched via a satellite signal from thousands of miles away. So the idea is they get drones on some sort of vessel off the coast of Cal Unicornia. And if indeed the US attacks Iran, I'm told we did. Oh, yes, we did. If indeed that happened, the Ayatollah, well, okay, the next Ayatollah,

22:59let's say, yeah, hit them now bastards. That would be horrible. So it's not completely crazy. Well, the blocking off the Strait of Hormuz good strategy attacking Los Angeles bad strategy. Can you imagine the level of holy hell Trump would bring on Iran if they actually attacked California? Right, right. Says one drone expert who Trump happened to praise on a different topic in July, quote, these are long range one way attack drones that are extremely capable and can be sent in swarms. You don't need a human anywhere near this. You can launch these things, these things over Starlink from a boat a thousand miles away. Okay, well, we'll see. Yeah, I'm not worried about it. I want to get to this. I think it was probably one of those generalized. Hey, this is one of the things we're vulnerable to keep an eye on it. Yeah. It's probably the the the entirety of the thing. Yeah. I want to get to this a little bit later. We've talked about this every year. I still don't think enough people are aware of this. The Oscars are Sunday. Colman O'Brien's a host. He hasn't had a show in years. His podcast is hugely popular. Anyway,

24:04Washington Post Story, Timothy Shalamey missed his opportunity for an Oscar. It's all about the campaigning that goes on and everything like that and how it's not actually about who's the best and all this different sort of stuff. And I just don't think enough people know that. One more reason to hate the Oscars. Another California story or ignore them. Couple of guys speaking Hebrew get beaten down in the street by some Muslim radicals. And it's not making the news for some reason. You got to tell you about that. Stay tuned.

28:16Violin video shows the moment two Israeli-American men were beaten outside of the Augustine restaurant in San Jose, Santana. We have two angles of the attack to show you. I witness, as I'm seen say, the attackers were speaking Farsi, a language in Iran. It's not a accurate representation as a Persian man, not something I want to be looked at. I like to think we're very loving people in general. Keanu Kaferobai is Persian and video the attack. He says the man who beat the Jewish men said, quote, don't mess with Iran. Yeah, it's a pretty ugly video. And you don't know that area. Santana rose and Jose very upscale. Nice. You'd never expect any crime of any kind to ever happen. You got two Israeli dudes speaking Hebrew and three guys just apparently overheard him walking down the street and just went to beaten on him. One guy knocked completely unconscious. Let's hear a little more than he's lucky. He is. He is very lucky. He's alive. And I want to get sidetracked by the people whipped their phones out in the modern world.

29:17Nobody lifts a hand to stop older men from being beaten in the street by young guys. Nobody, even like yells, you just get your phone out. What is that? I don't think history's always been that way. No, anyway, for several reasons back to the news report. These men are talking on camera saying they didn't do anything to provoke the attack. They were only speaking Hebrew to each other. If we were antagonizing them or doing anything bad, I would understand. But there was nothing of this kind. No talking, no exchanging words, no... Nothing, neither did nothing. And it's when salsa bad. That's what made me feel like it was, obviously, it was a very anti-Semitic act. And the rest of the report is that the anti-Semitic attacks across the country are on the rise, as we all know. And the Jewish community wants to alert everyone. And yeah, I can understand why. Some more of the details on this, which are, again, just re-genhorifying. The two Israeli men say they were jumped by three attackers,

30:21had no interaction with them at all. Not a word. Right. They just were like all of a sudden under attack on the street. The victim's longtime friends from Haifa, Israel. And they are just standing there speaking Hebrew. And then I love this. The San Jose Police Department is investigating as a possible hate crime. I wonder, I wonder. The whole hate crime thing, I think, is stupid, but if you're going to have those laws, this is clearly it. And Katie, I don't know if you're available, but you told us earlier that the big news service that we in many newsrooms use, still doesn't, isn't covering the story at all. Not a post news services. It's a West Coast news service that has a specific Bay Area section. And it is nowhere. How in the hell is that possible? I don't know. I had to go to other sources to find the actual story. There's nothing in there. And they've got, oh, they've got audio on all the, you know, Google news and all this stuff,

31:22not a peep about this. It's the radical left that runs media now in the red green alliance. You don't dare criticize fundamentalist Islam because they're against the US. And so am I, says the proud lefty. If you had had somebody shouting at Muslims about their faith, it would be a story, it'd be a national story, beating down actually physically beaten down. Luckily, they weren't killed. The one guy not completely unconscious. It's a tough video to watch. He's on the, he's on the sidewalk and guys just wailing on him. Yeah. And, uh, and doesn't make the news. I mean, how do you explain this? Well, with, for instance, somebody's demonstrating against Zoran Mamdani, whether they're a jerk or not and they get fire bombed, the news will do their best to cover it up actively. As we heard on CNN, in fact, uh, give me 80, Michael clip 80. Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here

32:22after an attempted terror attack against New York's mayor, Zoran Mamdani and the House Speaker, Mike Johnson says nothing really to condemn those comments. And after the flat over that quote, you got 81. Supposedly, some of these comments are as a result of the attempt against, um, I guess mayor Mamdani in New York, who was raised Muslim? Was he not himself? So, uh, so they're being anti-Muslim too deep. And they're finally defending Mamdani over something. Clearly, the attack wasn't on mayor Mamdani. It was, it was on, it was attacking protesters, people protesting. She wasn't, she seems to be actually just completely uninformed on the story. Like she, she took the, well, what she did was she took the word of the mainstream media, which told her that some anti-Muslim people showed up of bombs. That's because that's the way it was portrayed. And she just went with it, not knowing the, that's the, that's the opposite of what happened. The opposite of what happened. Do not ever read about Nazi Germany again and wonder

33:28how 1936, I know Captain, the Ohio executive director of care, that's the counsel on American Islamic relations. Khalid Torani said, uh, uh, he's talking about how Israel has the largest human skin bank in the world. They were skinning the people of, of, of Gaza. Jeremy Corbin of British politics, uh, reporting that, um, the IDF be headed and then cut off the hands of or cut open the abdomens of their victims. Um, and as Nelly Bolz writes in the free press, all right, the Jews are demons who eat babies. We get it, Jerry. UK's green party, putting forward a new motion to declare Israel's existence as a nation racist, no more two-state solution, just the elimination of Israel. Here's an investor, give it editor at the American prospect, a mainstream progressive publication, founding staffer at the populist feminist, uh, popular feminist site, Jezebel, uh, blah, blah.

34:29Um, she explains what would be the only way pres, uh, Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro could be considered a presidential front runner, uh, when he admits Israel as a brainwashed psychopathic death cult that might need to be nuked to save the human race. The key phrase is the idea of mass slaughter to save the human race, killing off this one people might just save the whole world. Or here's Anna Kasparian, another influential progressive commentator, elegantly summarizing the mood of the moment. Hey, bitch, the goyem are waking the f up, deal with it, meaning non-Jews. There are a bunch of more examples. So now I am a guy. I'm Donnie, by the way, one more, one more note, when Donnie dined, uh, two days ago with an anti-Israel radical cleric whose group regularly calls for death to America, death to the Jews and death to Israel. Mom Donnie had dinner with a guy. Now, while I am a guy that pushed his way through Anne Frank's bedroom hurriedly because I

35:34really needed to go to the bathroom, uh, I am horrified at the news coverage of these stories. And like you said, about how, you know, the rise of this in Germany, I never could understand it my whole life. It just never made sense to me. The little completely irrational to blame the Jews for all that stuff. It's ridiculous. Open like smashing the windows of businesses of the Jews or whatever like that. Nobody saying anything about it. And same with the cultural revolution in China. I've always been like, how did that possibly happen? Now all that stuff is happening here. It's wild to live through. There's a certain percentage of human kind in this bigger than I'd hoped that can be persuaded of something and then motivated to do terrible things. It's like one of my, one of the reasons I've always been so hardcore about the radical gender theory thing and you will not make me call a man a woman ever, ever, ever. And it's a Voltaire's quote that those who can make you recite absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Once you surrender your moral

36:40compass and your personal grasp of reality to somebody else and you fall in line and obey them to do something that you know to be wrong or, or not based in reality or whatever, you have, you have given up your anchor to reality. You don't want to do that. Yeah, read about the cultural revolution in China. If you're tired about the whole Nazi thing, it's kind of a well-worn turf, but you can convince human beings to do about anything, including drag their own parents out into the street and beat them to death. I wish we could run an experiment in a parallel universe where two Jews attack a couple of Muslim women who are wearing the beekeeper outfit and see what kind of news coverage that gets as opposed to this story, which is getting zero coverage. I was shocked that I didn't hear about it until this morning. It happened 330 Sunday afternoon or whatever. I shocked that I hadn't heard about it. I mean, it's like 60 miles from my house,

37:43but it's because the news isn't covering it. If it had merely been guys who wanted a purse or two who dragged diners out into the street and beat them near to death in San Jose, that'd be a huge story. But no, because, oh, this is uncomfortable. This sounds like I'm on Trump's side of this. We're not even going to report it. Don't worry about it. So these people are liars. Oh my god. Terrible video to watch. You're just frightening. Because imagine the level of hatred you would have to have to do that to just beat a person down and then keep beating them because you don't like their religion. Well, yeah. And as the Ayatollah said when he, when Salman Rushdie apologized for the satanic verses, the Ayatollah said he could become the most pious man on earth, but every Muslim must spend their entire life, their net worth, everything, everything it takes to send this man to hell. Those guys were just his boys. By the way, did they catch these guys?

38:46I've somehow missed that part of the story. Are these guys under arrest or in custody? Katie, do we know that? I saw that they were not under arrest and they were still trying to identify them, but I'll dig into the under arrest. The local news in San Jose, some TV news stations were running the video, but blurred out the attacker's faces as well as the victims. And they claimed it was while the investigation was ongoing, not to upset the police investing. What have you ever seen that happen before? I've seen all kinds of dust ups with people fighting at a convenience store or whatever the hell it is. Don't you show the faces to help the police investigation? Or is that just, well, I guarantee it's the leftists in the media in the Bay Area. And if I'm wrong, tell me, you know how to reach me. The leftists in the Bay Area thinking, oh, I'm afraid of an anti-Muslim backlash. Right. Let's not even show the faces. Yeah, that's a horrifying story. Yeah, the internet's done. The internet's done their job and figured out who these guys are, but it looks

39:46like they haven't been apprehended yet. Man, and again, if it can happen there, it can happen anywhere. That's the whole point. Yeah. All right. Yeah, the Ayatola, for instance, or, you know, if you interpret the Quran, the way many people do, they don't differentiate, but only in bad neighborhoods. No, kill the infidels. Well, the fact that you can think you can get away with it in a neighborhood like that. That's what that's what's so horrifying. I think it speaks to the level of hatred. Right. Yeah.

Interesting Taylor Swift who says in life of a showgirl, I'm married to the hustle. Maybe he saw her working constantly and thought, I might as well keep working because I ain't like she's available to do much. She works all the time. So the Oscars are Sunday night and so I was reading a couple of different articles about the Oscars because I'm kind of interested in a couple of the movies. A couple of them I've seen. Going to watch the ping pong movie with Timothy Shalamay this weekend with my boys. That looks pretty entertaining. The main thing though I take away from reading these articles is y'all take movies way too seriously. It's just like it's just to kill a couple hours.

45:07Hopefully someone entertained. The end. It's nothing beyond that for me and never really ever has been. I do not put that much thought into it. I don't think it's transformational or important or like really move society in any direction. I don't think any of those things are true. Correct. So lighten up. Anyway, I thought this was just kind of interesting. I was reading some of them about the campaigning and apparently Michael. Be Jordan, the actor who's in sinners, which looks really good and I want to see, which is going to win a ton of Oscars some probably Sunday night is going to win over Timothy Shalamay who's playing in the ping pong movie because his speech at one of the last award shows was so heartfelt and well received. But that will put him over the top of the Oscars. So because your speech was so heartfelt, you're going to win the Oscar. That's a good way to decide who's the best actor. Of course, the idea of picking a best actor incomplete. The only way would make any sense is if you all played the same role in the same movie

46:09and we decided who did it best. Other than that, it makes no sense whatsoever. Yeah, the whole things idiotic obviously. But, but explaining how Timothy Shalamay, all the voters regret that he didn't win last year for his Bob Dylan portrayal, which I don't remember who won, but he definitely should have won. It was amazing. But they talk about how, for whatever reason, Oscars go to young women and old men almost entirely throughout history. The Academy swoones for the vision of a beautiful young woman who came out of nowhere. Gwyneth Paltrow at 26, Grace Kelly at 25, Audrey Hippen at 24, Jennifer Lawrence at 22. It goes on and on. No man has ever won an Oscar before age 30. He got loads of early 20s females. Most men win when they're in like mid 50s, 60s are often even older after a lifetime of roles. So they like the old man, you know, who's who's paid his

47:10dues and had lots of great roles. And then they like the young fresh face girl out of nowhere. Who's hot and connected. Yes. Yeah. I don't have, I don't care about the Oscars. I mean, I truly don't, and I don't have a lot of time to watch movies. The only way I'm going to watch a movie is if they can combine the Bob Dylan movie, Tim Shalamay's Bob Dylan movie with the ping pong. So it's Bob Dylan playing ping pong. I will watch it. But he said 11, 8, 8, 11. I can never remember. Which one do you do first? And hit the net. No, it didn't hit the net. It's a brilliant idea. It is this car. It is a change in you get it. You know who would find that humorous Timothy Shalamay based on all the interviews I've seen and probably Bob Dylan. He's been probably Bob Dylan. Exactly. Ping pong movie looks kind of entertaining. So I don't know. Maybe I'll check it out. Bob Dylan may be the all time champion of my God. Would you stop taking me so seriously? I'm a guitar player. Yeah. Yeah.

48:12The best thing to look forward to to to want to hate like what is that called when you when you love hate you hate something you enjoy hating something. There's a name. I don't know, but I do rage hate or rage love or whatever it is. Sean Penn. I'll bet is going to win the Oscar because his performance in that one, whatever that movie is is pretty amazing. And he's going to win and he's going to give some over the top annoying political speech that'll make you want to kill him. I almost guaranteed. So we'll be playing that and hating on it on Monday morning. Probably so absolutely hating on I'll bet Conan's funny. I predict Conan will be funny. Well, I will tell you this though. If if you had not brought up the Oscars, I would have no idea it was happening this weekend. No idea. That's the other thing to reference this too. Right. Oh, no, no. That's the other thing from reading these articles is all these people writing these articles. No, not only think motion pictures are film as they call it. It's so important to society is that people still give a crap. They they actually think people are like
