All right. Well, I was gambling he'd be here before the intro is done playing, but I guess that didn't work out too well. Tonight on the show, Darryl will be here in a minute. His computer is mimicking my computer from last week, I guess. It's a good time to tell you to like and subscribe and comment and share because it's good for the algorithm.

Also, to tell you about Expat Money, they sponsored this show and their money summit is over. You can go and look at it, but if you go to expatmoney.com/provoked, you can get this free booklet, Plan B Residencies and Instant Citizenships. You can find out how to be a man of the world instead of just where you are.

You can do good stuff. I do have some material prepared, just in case you guys ran out of questions, because obviously you guys already know everything, so that'll be what you have to ask us about.

But I guess before I get started on that, and Cooper is on his way, I just talked to him, he's restarting his computer or something. I'm doing Robbie the Fire's porch tour tomorrow night here in Austin. So if you're in Austin or you like me and Robbie that much, me and or Robbie, then you could travel here and come and see the show. It'll be the eighth or ninth time I attempt some standup. I'm an amateur comedian, but I like getting a laugh or two if I can. If I can. And then not next week, but the week after that, I'm doing this year event also here in Austin, Joe Kent and Kelly Vallejos and Dan McKnight and Adam Weinstein from, I think from Defense Priorities. We're all doing a thing here. The Not Our War Tour, where I will attempt to say something intelligent and brief about America's war with Iran. So you guys can check both of those things out. That's being hosted by Kelly Vallejos from Responsible Statecraft, and that's how you find out about it. We're just Google Joe Kent, Austin, Texas and things that will probably come right up there. So let's see here. How bad is Cooper going to leave me hanging?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad. So let's see. I guess I could just knock out some Yemen news. You guys can hear me. Boy, I better check that chat. Just because the thing's all lit up doesn't mean that the world is actually looking right. Apparently. Oh, thoughts on the Fort Hood firing squad. Do you just aim at the legs? Oh, don't you're lying, right? Yeah. Okay. You guys jerking my chain. I'm for the firing squad in the, I don't care what happens to Fort Hood guy.

He's an enemy combatant, dude. At the very least, he's a dead man walking on the green mile.

Boy, he killed 14 people or was it 13? I guess 12 servicemen and a civilian. That's not good.

Anyways, so that's good. I'm glad if as long as I'm going to be live talking that people can hear me, it's beneficial. Look, let's knock out Yemen here real quick before Cooper gets here and we move to Yael's questions. Maybe we got some Gaza and some other stuff to talk about. But so the regional war between Israel and its eight enemies, or is it nine including the American people here, has spread again more to Yemen. This is just the Saudis fell for it, I guess. The Iranians invited the Houthis to the Ayatollah's funeral, which of course they accepted, but that's against Saudis air flight ban against the Houthi regime. And so they felt like they had to enforce their red line as they bombed the hotel, pardon me, the airport runway in Sana'a. And then I have no idea why hotel came out there. Hotel is not part of it. Anyway, so the Houthi said, all right, and they started launching drones and missiles. And then the Iraqi militias got involved and blew up the pipeline, the East-West pipeline there.

And so then now the Houthis are doubling down on it. And the Saudis, I mean, are doubling down on the war. And they're now trying to get Turkey and Pakistan to intervene. That's the big headline they're going to intervene. But then I saw, if you read the fine prints, like the Turks say, well, they're going to send some anti-aircraft missiles or some, you know, defensive anti-missile missiles, interceptors to the Saudis. But then they were saying that Jalani, the Al-Qaeda leader of Syria, aka Al-Shara, that he might send some Jihadis down there to fight against the Houthis. Big surprise. Although I'd be surprised he really has the manpower to do that.
