It doesn't paint some 12 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: untworn live from the studio cee see Senior, A dimly 13 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: led room deep with them the bowels of the Armstrong 14 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: in Getty Communications Compound. We are a week from Thanksgiving, people, 15 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: and today we're under the tutelage of our general manager. Google. 16 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: Google the search engine, Yes, indeed, well, oh oh, If 17 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: only it were just a search engine, that would be okay. 18 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: But it's like the world's most popular browser, and they 19 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: automatically go to their search engine from that browser. Then 20 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: they pay billions of dollars that you always go to 21 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: Google from everybody's browsers, and that's too much for the 22 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: Justice Apartment, and they say you gotta break it up. 23 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: Whether that will happen or not, who knows. Interesting do 24 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: you think they're going to bring it and learn more 25 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: and bring it to you? Do you think that's correct 26 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: or not? Is that side to go it? Yeah? Okay, yeah, 27 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: this is this is one of those I just it's 28 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: it's somewhat interesting, but I don't find it that compell 29 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what though. I I hate Google because 30 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: of the way they steal information. And I managed to 31 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: stay away from Google for most of my life. You know, 32 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: Google came on whatever it was thirty years ago and 33 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: uh twenty five years ago, and then I I didn't. 34 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: I never had a Gmail account. I never did a 35 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: Google anything, never had any of that stuff my kids 36 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: got in school, you got no choice. 37 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 2: Everybody uses Google classroom. 38 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: You're forced into your whole family having different Google accounts 39 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: and passwords and all kind of You got a click. 40 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: I agree to all the stuff, which means they're stealing 41 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: everything you got. So from that standpoint, the schools are 42 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: run by the government. I'm forced to use Google by 43 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: the government that bothers me. I don't think you could 44 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: not be. It'd be very, very difficult to have your 45 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: kid in a public school and not be a Google person. Wow. Wow, 46 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: you'd have to be some sort of conscientious objective. Yeah, 47 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: it would be a It would really be a cost 48 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: yourself a great deal of time and effort. Yeah yeah, yeah. 49 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: So that's not cool, is it? The government needs to 50 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: sue public schools. Government should sue itself and spend itself broke. 51 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: Maybe U Matt Gates, when he gets done with his 52 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: drug fueled sex orgies as Attorney General can look at 53 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: the whole Google thing and see if it's okay with 54 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: all that? 55 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 2: Does the does the administration want? 56 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: I just and I don't want to talk about it anymore, 57 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: But flipping on all the newscasts leading with some new 58 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: Matt Gates revelation today? 59 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: Does does Trump want that? 60 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: Every day for the next three months, four months, however 61 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: long it takes, every day some new Matt Gates story. 62 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: Even the Wall Street Journal and The New York Post, 63 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: two very different kinds of Republicans, both their editorial boards 64 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: say drop the Matt Gates thing. Interesting I'd missed that. 65 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, well, I'm not shocked by it. Trump's thinking 66 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: in strategies and and trolling are sometimes so different than 67 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: certainly the conventional approach, but the way I would approach it. 68 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes I have to think about it for a while, 69 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: what the hell is he trying to pull off? And 70 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: sometimes it makes sense eventually, and sometimes it's just dumb, 71 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: bad strategy. Why don't I say that, Well, the Senate's 72 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: claiming they're going to do a full hearing, and if 73 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: they don't get the report from the House, they have 74 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: the ability to call the same witnesses if they want 75 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: to to get the information that way, So that'll be 76 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: a fun That'll be a fun hearing. I'm sure that 77 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: would be behind closed doors, I assume. Yeah, yeah, I 78 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: actually think Matt Gates is an amoral scumbag. But I'm 79 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: also at least intrigued by thinking about all of the 80 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: moral failings of so many high officials of the government 81 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: and how they're selectively called out, you know, depending on 82 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: the circumstance. On the other hand, that's just because the 83 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: one thing is true doesn't mean the other isn't true. 84 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: I feel like, if you're calling my sores that I 85 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: attend to drug fueled sex s orgies. It's prejudicial and 86 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: drug fueled. 87 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: That is that a prejudicial term. It's not fueled by drugs. 88 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: It's fueled by lust. It's enhanced by drugs. Well, it's 89 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: a party we're having. What is it? What do you 90 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: do at a party? You all get together and I 91 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: have a good time. That's fueled by fun. That's what 92 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: it is. Well, yeah, exactly, we're here for the fun. 93 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 1: The drugs are there as well, but it's not drug 94 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: fueled per se. It's fun fueled, come your honor. I 95 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: prefer to call it fun fueled camaraderie with drugs, with 96 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: drugs and that proportification and prostitutes. And now we have 97 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of canceled checks for many thousands of dollars 98 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: that appear to be to these girls. So anyway, that's 99 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: part of the fun. Few, that's that's what fuels the fun, 100 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: me paying these girls to you know, do what I want. Yeah, 101 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: the checks coming out yesterday didn't help. 102 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 2: No, No, I suppose not. 103 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: I think the response from a lot of big Trump 104 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: fans would be, well, Merrick Garland is perverted to Justice Department. 105 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: Beyond all recognitions. So a guy who gets with prostitutes 106 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: now and again is small potatoes. My counter counter argument 107 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: would be, all right, get rid of that, don't have 108 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: either of them. Let's continue asking for better than both 109 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: of them. Right, And then I realized, because I'm on Twitter, 110 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: a lot a lot of you don't believe any of 111 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: that stuff anyway. It's just deep state trying to keep 112 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: him from being an Interney general. So checks are fake, 113 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: the accusations are fake. All the Republicans who are claiming 114 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: these things are part of the deep state. And that's 115 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: where that is. Have you known any scumbags? Have you 116 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: lived a little Have you bumped around and the you know, 117 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: the alleys of life, walked on the wild side a 118 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: little bit. It's it's like a big gold colored cat 119 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: with a huge mane is walking across Africa and somebody says, 120 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: that's not a lion. The deep state says it's a lion. No, 121 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: it's a lion. There are actual lions. Even if the 122 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: deep state says it's a lion. You've never known a smarmy, 123 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: good looking kid whose dad was powerful, and so the 124 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: kid lived a really uncool life. You've never known one 125 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: of those. 126 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 2: I've known a lot of those. 127 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and again you can there look at this 128 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: fur at the end of the tail. Yet that's a 129 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: lion or if you prefer the well worn duck metaphor 130 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: either way, and I know the Justice Apartment needs to 131 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: shake it up. But again both things can be true. 132 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: One thing I was considering a nominating for general manager 133 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: was unsubscribing day. Were already there? Somebody told me a 134 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Black Friday for them is unsubscribed day. 135 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: You go into all your emails, man, the number of 136 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: emails I'm getting now you wake up in the morning. 137 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: It's just like I didn't know you had my account, 138 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: but I guess you do, like some clothing store or 139 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: whatever they hold back till now. And now you just 140 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: get up a thousand of those. Then you got to 141 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: unsubscribe on all of them. Of course, there's always the 142 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: danger of is this do you actually have my accountman? 143 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: Or on am I just clicking on a fishing thing? 144 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: And now I've really made my life difficult.

Yes, 148 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: an email, and so you don't unsubscribe, you block the sender, Uh, 149 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: those that I know to be legitimate. But I think 150 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: you know I'm not gonna buy another one of your things. 151 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: I will, I will unsubscribe.

Apparently we are going to 324 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: defeat the Russian Federation at last. This will be even 325 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: more brilliant than Biden's Afghanistan. No, that's not the goal 326 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: at all. It's to prevent the continued aggressive conquests in Europe. 327 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: Can't have that. But thanks for the note.

Wow, wow, good lifestyle. So mentioned the hole 370 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: woke up to the news that Russia had fired an 371 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: ICBM into Ukraine, which is a very provocative thing, obviously 372 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: on the world stage, having the fact the fact that 373 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: they announced the other day that they lowered their threshold for. 374 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 2: Using nuclear weapons. 375 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 1: Then two days later you fire an ICBM, which for 376 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: at least a couple of seconds, we and I'm assuming 377 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: Great Britain and fre Rants in Germany and probably China 378 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: and everybody else picked up on the radars and thought, 379 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: holy crap, Russias fired ICBM, wars it headed. I mean, 380 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: that's that's that's scary crap right there where you could 381 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 1: end up with a mistake. But anyway, The latest reporting 382 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: is maybe it wasn't ICBM. Ukraine claims Russia fired ic 383 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: ICBM and recent attack. Fox is saying, CNN is saying 384 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: Western leaders say it wasn't an ICBM. But that would 385 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: be a very provocative move if it was different story. Funny, 386 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the big news sites and they've got 387 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: it buried if they're reporting it at all. Everybody thinks 388 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: it's a big ideal that the International Criminal Court has 389 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,959 Speaker 1: issued war crimes. The rest worns for Net and Yahou 390 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: and Right and Gallant, but it's a phony court. It's 391 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: got no authority, yes, but better for your politics if 392 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: you're a mainstream media out fine. The other story is 393 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: this has been going on for a couple of days. 394 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: Two big Internet cables in the Baltic Sea were cut, 395 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: causing huge disruptions. 396 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: And a Chinese ship was seen nearby. So what's going 397 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 2: on there? 398 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: Oh, more than nearby. They've got it. Radar tracked directly 399 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: over the one cable two minutes before the cable stopped working, 400 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: and then that second cable, same ship was right above 401 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 1: it two minutes before it stopped working. 402 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,239 Speaker 2: Well, g whiz, all right, Well that takes care of that. 403 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: Then now, come on China, Ukraine, and this might be 404 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: what caused Russia to fire this big rocket missile whatever 405 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: it was. Ukraine fired British long range missiles into Russia yesterday, 406 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: so after the attackers we gave them, Britain said yeah, 407 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: you can use ours also and fired some of those 408 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: into Russia. So that might be why Russia reacted the 409 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: way they did. I get it. It's kind of an 410 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: everybody's in. You can't single out anybody is because we 411 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: all agree. Of course, I don't know if France even 412 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: has missiles. Maybe they can heave a cheese at the Russians. Yeah, 413 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: it feels like I was an ad hominem attack against 414 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: France for some reason. Out of nowhere, Joe brought us 415 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: the story of the Banana Taped to the wall. 416 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 2: The price came in yesterday. 417 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: It sold for six point two million dollars, Good Lord, 418 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: six point two million dollars.

It's a statement. 429 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: The New York Times said it's arguably the most expensive 430 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: fruit in the world. I would say arguably it is. 431 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: I have no counter argument, right, I don't know what 432 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: the count argument would be. 433 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 5: Wow. 434 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: I think all of us wish we could come up 435 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: with something like that.
