1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jack Katy and he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: Now, the one thing that everyone seemed to agree on

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 3: is that Bondi is qualified after three decades as a

6
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 3: state prosecutor. But Democrats still appear skeptical that she will

7
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 3: be able to resist the kind of pressure that President

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 3: electromp has put on his previous attorneys general when he

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: wanted to use the Department of Justice to pursue his

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 3: own aims.

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 4: All right, whatever, But so the main thing there is

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 4: that there's agreement Pam Bondi is going to be the

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 4: next attorney General quite easily.

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 5: So, mister chairman, I would like to introduce a tangent.

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 5: Places why you have a call for a tangent? Can

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 5: I get a second? I'd like to hear his tangent.

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 5: Here's your tangent. So that was some galon paulid on CNN,

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 5: And I feel a little the way I feel about

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 5: kicking CNN is a little bit like how I feel

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 5: about kicking the president from his miserable attempt at a

21
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 5: farewell address last night. It's increasingly irrelevant CNN. Nobody's watching

22
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 5: fewer every day. They're they're a vestige of the past.

23
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 5: And I will you know, I don't pun we probably

24
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 5: shouldn't be talking about it.

25
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to be.

26
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 5: The old guy saying Truman was a Demi crag, right,

27
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 5: I mean, nobody cares exactly. But I was reading about

28
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 5: that billion dollar defamation suit that the guy filed against

29
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 5: CNN for well for defaming him, Joe, that's what a

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 5: defamation suit is, but having to do with him trying

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 5: to get people out of Afghanistan, and they called him

32
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 5: a black marketeer and a ripoff artist and all, and

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 5: with no evidence. Reading the depositions and the behind the

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 5: scenes email and stuff that have been subpoenaed by the court,

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 5: they had all sorts of people at CNN saying, WHOA,

36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 5: there are enormous holes in this story. This is terrible

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 5: and unfair. I realized it's exciting, but what about this,

38
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 5: that and the other? They had good people at CNN

39
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 5: trying desperately to say we can't air this, but air

40
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 5: it they did because it sounded exciting, I mean, just

41
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 5: morally and journalistically ethically bankrupt, really amazing.

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 4: I just saw the headline today. They're moving wolf Blitzer

43
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: to mornings to try to save that. But again, we're

44
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 4: talking about something nobody watches. We learned early on in

45
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: our talk career there could be a story and you

46
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: can't go on the air and say, why does no

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: one care about this story. We'll take your calls. You

48
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: don't get any calls. It's right because nobody cares. It's

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 4: in the definition so premise. It's similar about CNN.

50
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, boy are they terrible. They deserve to go away,

51
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 5: and I wish them well. I don't wish them anything.

52
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 4: I didn't hear well. We were on the air for

53
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 4: a lot of it. The back and forth of the

54
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: hearing with our new attorney general easily could be the

55
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: next female president. Oh wow, never even thought about that.

56
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: Very very bright and and tough, too hot. I think

57
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: I don't think you can get elected to be in

58
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 4: the hole you and your I think it holds you

59
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: back as a woman. It shouldn't. It's unfair. Well, I

60
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 4: think it does both. It helps you and holds you

61
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: back in certain ways. Anyway, this is her back and

62
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 4: forth with our actual senator, and I can't believe it's true,

63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 4: Adam Schiff.

64
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 6: I'm asking you, sitting here today, whether you are aware

65
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 6: of a factual predicate to investigate Liz Cheney.

66
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: Senator. No one has to investigate Liz Cheney. That is

67
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: a high.

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 6: President has called for it publicly. You are aware of that,

69
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 6: aren't you.

70
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: No one has asked me to investigate. But we're also worried.

71
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: You know, whats to be worried about? MS Bondy. Please,

72
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: you're right now, you are aware of the root.

73
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 6: MS Bondy.

74
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: Your robbery is a higher than the national question.

75
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 7: That's what I want.

76
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 5: To Adam Shift show later videotaped slumbering soundly during that

77
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 5: same hearing.

78
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: They're so meaningless. These things they just they just are

79
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: just and they get more so. Uh throughout my lifetime

80
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 4: so far they.

81
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: Just a grand standy and dumb.

82
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 4: I got one more eighty five we want to play.

83
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 4: This was seen by people who like her as one

84
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: of her highlights. You speaking, I hope you answer, misspid.

85
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 7: Senator.

86
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: Let me answer my question.

87
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 4: I'm not going to be bullied pause of the United

88
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 4: States of America, which was deeply disappointing.

89
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: I guess.

90
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: Today you're not going to be bullied by me, Senator,

91
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 4: I'm not.

92
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 5: Going to be bullied by you either way.

93
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 4: I got it wrong either way, it doesn't really make

94
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 4: any of You're not going to be bullied by me?

95
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: Yes? True? Why are you shouting at me? I'm sorry?

96
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: I got it backwards.

97
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, she handled all of the I mean, would you

98
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 5: hire some are you gonna have an enemy's list? And

99
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 5: she made it clear I wouldn't take any job in

100
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 5: which anybody asked me to do anything unethical.

101
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 2: Look at my career. You Putts? She didn't say you Potts,

102
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: but she could have. So will she will coast him?

103
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: Nancy Pelosi not going to go to the Trump inauguration.

104
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 4: It could be health reasons, right, she's still hurt from

105
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: when she fell down the stairs as an old lady

106
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 4: in her high heels and broke her ankle. No idea

107
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 4: that might be it. They're making a big deal out

108
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: of Michelle. Obama's not gonna be there. It's also unclear

109
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 4: if that's a health thing or not.

110
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: Well. And who cares?

111
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: All the former presidents? Well, is it a diss or

112
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 4: something like that? I ge?

113
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: Is it a measure of Yeah, Washington's contempt for Trump? Blah,

114
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: blah blah.

115
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess that's a semi legitimate conversation. But uh,

116
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 5: I don't know. I guess the part of me that

117
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 5: is revolted by Washington's self obsession.

118
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: Who's in, who's out, who has power, who's hot? Right?

119
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: I just I don't care. How are you going to govern?

120
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 2: How's it going to affect Americans?

121
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 4: We will be on the air on Monday. It's a

122
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 4: company holiday. We could have taken the day off, but

123
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: we did not when we realized it's inauguration Day. So

124
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 4: we will actually be on the air when the nuclear

125
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 4: codes are handed over from ancient Joe Biden to Donald Trump,

126
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 4: who is at least sentient compared to the current president,

127
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: but also ancient.

128
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: Yes, we are. We are truly public servants.

129
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 7: You know.

130
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 4: So I was I'm reading some MLK stuff right now

131
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: because it's his holiday is on Monday, and I do

132
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 4: that every year for some reason. And I'm getting into

133
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 4: the David Garrow book something the cross, Carrying the cross?

134
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 4: What's it a burden? When you have a burden, there's

135
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 4: the name. I gotta now, I gotta know.

136
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: I wish I could help.

137
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: That's a very very famous but bearing the Cross, very

138
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: famous book When the Fold Surprise back in the day.

139
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: But anyway, so I was reading about Martin Luther King Junior,

140
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 4: and I lived in Memphis around that time when he

141
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 4: was shot as a little kid. So I was sent

142
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: in my mom an email about that, like when did

143
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: when was? When did we move to Memphis and where

144
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: exactly did we live? The reason I bring this up

145
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: is my mom is the same age as Joe Biden,

146
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: the guy we saw on TV last night. They were

147
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: within a week of each other. On her birthday. My

148
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 4: mom was asked about something from a half a century ago,

149
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 4: someplace we lived for like nine months. She knew exactly

150
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 4: when we moved there and the name of the place

151
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 4: and the address off the top of her head. Joe

152
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: Biden was asked, when were you vice president? And he

153
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 4: couldn't come up with it, and the mainstream media excuse that, well,

154
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: you can't expect a guy to remember when he was

155
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: vice frid My mom's the same age.

156
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: She remembers where.

157
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: We lived briefly a half a century ago. He doesn't

158
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: remember when he was vice president. I can't wait. I

159
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: hope there's a reckoning on this. But how crazy it

160
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 4: is that everybody covered up for how badly that guy's

161
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: brain works.

162
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, on the right side of the aisle, we'll

163
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 5: certainly reckon with it, and some reasonable moderates will as well.

164
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 5: But there's gonna be no mia culpa. There's gonna be

165
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 5: no great.

166
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: Horrified Well, of course, did I mention the Washington Post

167
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: new slogan.

168
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: Oh you told us that there is one, but you

169
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: did not reveal it.

170
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 5: Democracy dies in darkness, so self important and ironic.

171
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: Just it'd be hard to do worse.

172
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 4: I don't think I can find it. It's something like

173
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 4: telling the story to all of America. It's basically that. Okay,

174
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 4: So it's not like, yeah, well it's Jeff Bezos is

175
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: trying to go that direction, as you know, by by

176
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 4: not endorsing a candidate and all that sort of stuff.

177
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm optimistic about a whole bunch of different

178
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: things that have been ushered in with Trump's pretty dominant win.

179
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is exciting.

180
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 4: One other story that just came across the Super Bowl

181
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: is not far away. We got a lot of playoff

182
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 4: football this weekend. State Farm has scrapped their Super Bowl

183
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five commercial as outrage Mounts over LA fires.

184
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 4: I'm guessing they were thinking it just wasn't a good

185
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 4: idea to just raise our heads up and remind people

186
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 4: they just didn't want to have insurance company as a

187
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 4: topic at Super Bowl parties.

188
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 5: I'm guessing Yeah, I think so, right. Yeah, Yeah, that's

189
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 5: probably a decent move.

190
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 4: I'll bet there's going to be a lot of fairly

191
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 4: heartfelt commercials. People are probably scrambling right now to come

192
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: up with something that's here at Budweiser, we care about

193
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: this and that and are donating something or other.

194
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably so, Yeah, particularly if the Rams were to.

195
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 2: Make it the big contest.

196
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right. Would do you think they would a

197
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: little of the everybody's rooting for him because attached to

198
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: Los Angeles thing that happens sometimes with teams.

199
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit. I don't know. I don't know.

200
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 5: I think the Chiefs are one Super Bowl went away

201
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 5: from being the team everybody hates.

202
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 4: Them, hates based on my life. Yeah, well, if they

203
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 4: win three in a row.

204
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: Good lord.

205
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and maybe chief if they won three in a row,

206
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 4: they would be one Josh Allen amazing play away from

207
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 4: an undefeated season and a three peat in the NFL,

208
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 4: which would definitely solidify you as the greatest team of

209
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 4: all time. That's insane. Yeah, Oh, we got a bunch

210
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 4: of other stuff on the way, stay with us.

211
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 8: In honor of Valentine's Day, Appleby's has launched two new cocktails.

212
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 2: But if you've been taken to Appleby's on Valentine's Date,

213
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna need way more than two.

214
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 4: Oh kind of like date at Applebe's, huh, with the

215
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 4: bourbon streak steak and a whatever kind of chocolate shake,

216
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 4: that song, and don't ne me to knock an appleby

217
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 4: It's perfectly fine place to spend your Valentine's.

218
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 5: I don't go anywhere on Valentine's Day, and I don't

219
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 5: often go to Applebee's, but I don't judge others who do.

220
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: Jack to each their own. I say, I'm.

221
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 5: Trying to think if there is an Applebee's anywhere, handy anyway,

222
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter. Coming up a couple of interesting aspects

223
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 5: of the current political scene, including a list of quotes

224
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 5: from Democrats that make it, you know, in escapable clear

225
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 5: they have no idea why they lost the election and

226
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: how unpopular some of their ideas are. AOC is a

227
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 5: fruit loop. There's a hint, so a couple of non

228
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 5: political notes here. Fake job postings are becoming a real problem.

229
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 5: At least one in five jobs advertised is fake or

230
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 5: never to be filled with no intention of filling it.

231
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 4: Ah, well that's a problem. But I also know the

232
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 4: flip side, trying to hire sitters. I don't know what

233
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 4: percentage of those are fake so that they can claim

234
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: that they're looking for a job, because it allows you

235
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 4: to get various checks from the government. All kinds of

236
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 4: people I've come across that have no interest in actually

237
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 4: taking a job. So if you're fake job listings and

238
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 4: fake im i'm for hire listings, makes it very difficult.

239
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, just just nutty.

240
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 5: They mentioned that this is dispiriting for workers, obviously leading

241
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 5: to distrust in citicism, feeling like it's rigged against them.

242
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 5: It's kind of a horror show, said a personnel company

243
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: president co founder. With the job markets become more sole

244
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 5: crushing than ever, companies have a number of nefarious and

245
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 5: normal reasons for posting not quite real jobs. They may

246
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 5: want to suggest they're growing even when they aren't, or

247
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 5: may keep postings up in case they get a candidate

248
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 5: who's too good to pass up people who like have

249
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 5: their house permanently for sale for like a laughable amount

250
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 5: of money. Oh yeah, in case, you know, some Chinese

251
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 5: oligarch decides I want a home and name your town.

252
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 4: If you're in a certain neighborhood in San Francisco or Carmel.

253
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 4: I've seen that sort of thing, that those houses are

254
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 4: always for sale in case Brad Pitt walks by and

255
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 4: decides he wants to live there.

256
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but wall Man, it's got to be discouraging.

257
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: Maybe I shouldn't be saying this a lot, but I

258
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 4: don't know. We've been involved in situations where you need

259
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 4: to hire somebody you know who it's going to be,

260
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 4: and then they have to post a job opening for

261
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 4: a certain amount of time before you go with the

262
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 4: person that you already know you want, right just to

263
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: satisfy all kinds of legal things.

264
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 2: Yea, including egal opportunity that sort of thing.

265
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, obviously the assistant who's been doing a

266
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 5: brilliant job and everybody knows should have the gig.

267
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: Probably now you're gonna give him the job. Anyway.

268
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 5: Here's a young woman who graduated from Carnegie Mellon's Tepper

269
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 5: school of thisiness. Oh, that's a fine school of business,

270
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 5: and she's a scientist and now has an MBA and

271
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 5: the rest of it. Out of more than two hundred

272
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 5: and sixty applications, she received one hundred and twenty four

273
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 5: rejection letters and ultimately never heard back from one hundred

274
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 5: and sixteen companies, including several where she had already made

275
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 5: it through two or three rounds of interviews, flown in

276
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 5: to meet with executives, or tackled take home assignments that

277
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 5: required several hours of work to prove that she was

278
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 5: up to it.

279
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 4: Do you most is just shocking getting ghosted like that?

280
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 4: You got adult kids? Do you mostly apply for jobs online? Now?

281
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 4: Almost entirely?

282
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah.

283
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 5: At one point I would say, you know, go in person,

284
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 5: shake a hand, look in their eye, tell them how

285
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 5: much you'd like to work there. And I eventually became

286
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 5: convinced if you do that, they will run you out

287
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 5: of the store because you are a crack pot. Nobody's

288
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 5: there who goes through the applications. They're busy. That's not

289
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 5: the way it works. But now I understand because of

290
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 5: the imperfections of internet hiring. Depending on you're talking about,

291
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 5: it's it's flowed back the other way. Some Oh really

292
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 5: you should go in. Yeah, I just I feel for people.

293
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 5: I mean, this is this is terrible.

294
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, but I I've applied for jobs before in

295
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 4: person and you fill out the form there in the

296
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 4: little lobby and you hand it to the person and

297
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 4: you just okay, well, well I'll show this to whoever

298
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: put it on file or some means. No, I'm never

299
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 4: going to hear from these people in my life. What

300
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 4: am I doing? How am I going to eat?

301
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 5: I do enjoy filling out the street address of my

302
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,239
Speaker 5: high school over and over again back in the day.

303
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: Do they still ask that sort of question?

304
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't actually know. Uh.

305
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 5: There's another article kind of similar in a way that

306
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 5: we can all relate to. It is harder than ever

307
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 5: to find real product recommendations online.

308
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

309
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 5: The Great World War between fake reviews and trying to

310
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 5: get rid of fake reviews, it's not going well.

311
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: Right.

312
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 5: Where are the Nazis in this situation? And we're calling

313
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 5: on Steiner to turn back the Russians when Steiner's off

314
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 5: the battlefield, it's it's miserable. Sorry, that's too bad. Yeah,

315
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,479
Speaker 5: it is, And it's frustrating.

316
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: I've been.

317
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 5: And I'm a skeptical guy, and I think I've got

318
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 5: a really good eye for bullless. But man, is it

319
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 5: getting tough and time consuming Because you get to something

320
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 5: that looks, you know, really reliable. They spend a lot

321
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 5: of timeline of energy, They have a video, they go

322
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: through it and all, and then you find out that

323
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 5: now they're sponsored by.

324
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 4: These people, right yeah, yeah, yeah.

325
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 5: And if I have a brand that does X amount

326
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 5: of revenue, yeah, I'm going to pay somebody twenty five

327
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 5: grand to spend two days putting together a video where

328
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 5: they pretend to be a neutral, I don't know, guitar

329
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 5: string appraiser or whatever.

330
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, I put together this barbecue grill AND's the

331
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 4: best one I've ever had. And that's how they're getting paid.

332
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

333
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 5: Further complicating things is that search engines, including are particularly Google,

334
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 5: often probably oritize the less reliable lists. In many cases,

335
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 5: that's because, oh, we don't have time to explain bribery.

336
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 5: In essence, Joe.

337
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 4: Biden made me so angry last night, among other things,

338
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 4: only wrong. And get first of all, this one of

339
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 4: your major polls has Trumpet fifty percent approval. Now the

340
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 4: highest he's ever been ever at any point since he

341
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 4: got into politics in this particular poll, as is true

342
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 4: with a whole bunch of other polls Gallup and others,

343
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 4: Isn't that wow? Nobody predicted that? Indeed, TikTok. The whole

344
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 4: story continues to be something. It's supposed to come to

345
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 4: an end kind of this weekend, unless something intervenes or whatever.

346
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 4: But anyway, young people have to espouse their opinions online.

347
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 4: Here's one of those young people.

348
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: So I downloaded red Note, and I'm no longer convinced

349
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: that we are living in a first world country seeing

350
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: the everyday lives of Chinese people, like obviously certain Chinese

351
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,239
Speaker 1: people are not sing everybody's lives, but it's just like

352
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: insanely eye opening. There's something really remarkable that I had

353
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: known about most of these Chinese people, even older people

354
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: like people in their forties, fifty sixties, they look so

355
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: much less traumatized than most Americans.

356
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 7: Now.

357
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't fully understand Chinese culture at all, and I'm

358
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: sure it varies a lot. It's a very very big place,

359
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: but it's interesting seeing how lighthearted and kind and gentle

360
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: these people are, especially in comparison to Americans.

361
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 4: Can somebody put her in contact with the Some people

362
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 4: don't have maps, a girl.

363
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 5: There was one sentence in there that was unintentionally hilarious,

364
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 5: and I hate to miss quote her because it was

365
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 5: it was perfectly idiotic. I'm not completely up what, Michael,

366
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 5: you got to play for me again, I've got to

367
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 5: have this just right. I should have jotted it down,

368
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 5: so I.

369
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: Downloaded red note. And I'm no longer convinced that we

370
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: are living in a first world country seeing the everyday

371
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: lives of Chinese people, Like obviously they're Chinese people are

372
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: not sting everybody's lives, but it's just like insanely eye opening.

373
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: There's something really remarkable that I have noticed about most

374
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: of these Chinese people, even older people, like people in

375
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: their forty fifty sixties, they look so much less traumatized

376
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: than most Americans. Now, I don't fully understand Chinese culture

377
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: at all, and I'm sure there are a lot don't

378
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: fully understand Chinese culture at all at all.

379
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 4: But here's my opinion.

380
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 2: What was the word fully doing in there.

381
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 4: I don't fully understand Chinese culture at all, meaning you

382
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 4: don't understand Chinese culture at all.

383
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: You have no.

384
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 5: Basis, no factual but no experience, no perspective, no education

385
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 5: on which to base any opinion whatsoever. Well, not fully

386
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 5: like I don't watch or play golf at all, but

387
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 5: I think that I mean.

388
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: Exactly my opinion.

389
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 4: Course design emphasizes a bunker play.

390
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

391
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 7: Great, people out there in our nation don't have that.

392
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 7: And I believe that our education, like such as in

393
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 7: South Africa and Iraq everywhere, like such as.

394
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 4: And the Iraq everywhere such as are not as traumatized

395
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 4: as most Americans.

396
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 5: Well, you're you're traumatized because you're raised like a veal

397
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 5: calf and you're terrified of life.

398
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 4: Now my uh, one of my really smart nieces who's

399
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 4: in graduate school is that they're they're all TikTok people.

400
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 4: And uh, when I'm mentioned the whole Chinese Communist Party thing,

401
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 4: she said, that's a conspiracy theory.

402
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 5: That the Chinese Communist Party can influence TikTok has anything

403
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 5: to do with it, can yank bite dance is spying

404
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 5: on your compiracy theory.

405
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 4: Is spying on your information. That's but if that's what

406
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: people think, then that's uh yeah, well that's what.

407
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: They heard on TikTok exactly.

408
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's where it gets complicated.

409
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: Now, I don't.

410
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: Fully understand Chinese culture at all.

411
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: That's a funny sentence.

412
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 5: No, I'm not fully acquainted with ceramics engineering at all.

413
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I love that sentence. Now I don't.

414
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: Fully understand Chinese culture at all.

415
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: But here's what I think.

416
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 4: Clearly, we all live in a first world country in

417
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 4: China does because look at how less traumatized their people.

418
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: Look.

419
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 5: Now, I'm not thoroughly qualified for abdominal surgery at all.

420
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 4: Boss, he still hand me that scalful. We can get

421
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 4: started if you'll hold still.

422
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: Thank you. Pretty funny.

423
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 4: Yes, I have never fully done ie surgery at all.

424
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 4: But try not to flinch here.

425
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: Okay.

426
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 4: So Joe Biden gave a speech last night. I didn't

427
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 4: watch it. I kind of thought I tried. I tried

428
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 4: for a while. It was a soul suck man. Yeah,

429
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 4: I knew it would be. I knew he'd be old

430
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 4: and slurry and everything like that, and I expected it

431
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 4: to be a nothing burger. I thought it would be

432
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 4: kind of just the normal Joe bideny platitudes about this,

433
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 4: and that it wasn't. Though he got into some grievances

434
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 4: and warnings that were weird, Like the President of the

435
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 4: United States shouldn't be saying this stuff unless he can

436
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: back it up with some real evidence. For instance, this I.

437
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 8: Want to warn the country some things and give me

438
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 8: a great concern. This is a dangerous content, and that's

439
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 8: a dangerous conversation of power in the hands of a

440
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 8: few ultrawealthy people, the dangerous consequences if their abusive power

441
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 8: is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in

442
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 8: America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threads

443
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,479
Speaker 8: our entire democracy are basic rights and freedoms and a

444
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 8: fair shot for everyone to get ahead.

445
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 4: He stated, as if it's obviously fact to him and

446
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 4: his kind that an oligarchy has formed that is stopping

447
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 4: people from being able to live out their lives. Okay,

448
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 4: I haven't noticed that. Back that up with anything, dude.

449
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a hell of a thing to say. Luckily,

450
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: we're into such the age of hyperbole and people saying

451
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 4: crap all the time, it doesn't really land. I mean,

452
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 4: it's not like it's a discussion today like it would

453
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 4: have been if Bill Clinton had said that on his

454
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 4: last day of office. We now live in an oligarchy

455
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 4: would have been everybody talking about it the next day.

456
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: What how? Where? Why? What do we do?

457
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 5: But please the hilarity of Joe Biden. The Democrats suddenly

458
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 5: highly concerned that billionaires are acting politically right.

459
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 4: Yeah again, he gave George Soros the Medal of Freedom

460
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 4: last week. Now the richest guy, Elon Musk, tweets things

461
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 4: favorable to Trump, and we should all be frightened to death.

462
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 5: I guess electric car, space exploration guy bad, Marxism guy good.

463
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 5: That's your billionaire review from Joe Biden. Okay, And then

464
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 5: this part was just crazy.

465
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 8: I'm equally concerned about the potential rise of a tech

466
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 8: industrial complex. I could pose real dangers for our country

467
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 8: as well. Americans are being buried under an avalanche of

468
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 8: misinformation and disinformation, enabling to abuse the power. The free

469
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 8: press is crumbling. There's a disappearance social media is giving

470
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 8: up on fact checking.

471
00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: The truth is.

472
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 8: Sma, lies told for power and for profit. We must

473
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 8: hold the social platform and accountable to protect our children,

474
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 8: our families, and our very democracy from the abusive power.

475
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 4: You literally bribed and browbeat people into lying and offering

476
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 4: disinformation and misinformation and calling it fact checking you and

477
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 4: your administration, and now you're weeping bitter tears over the decline.

478
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 2: Of quote unquote fact checking. It's just too much. It

479
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: really is.

480
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 4: If I wanted to be somewhat partisan, although I don't

481
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 4: think there's this partisan. The thing you just described as

482
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 4: a horror was going on when you were in charge,

483
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 4: and now we're moving away from.

484
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 2: It, right because it was so awful, So you.

485
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 4: Come up to threaten us or alert us to the

486
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 4: horror of it going away from what you wanted. So

487
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 4: my question I guess is does he understand that or not?

488
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 4: Is he just a partisan? I mean, does he think

489
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 4: when when he had people In case you haven't heard this,

490
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 4: Mark Zuckerberg did Joe Rogan's podcast on Friday. In an interview,

491
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 4: said to Joe Rogan that Biden White House people would

492
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: call them up at Facebook and scream at them. Sometimes

493
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 4: we're posting things that were flat out fact or satire

494
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 4: or humor. Right, and Joe Biden's last night saying, and

495
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 4: they're doing away with fact checking too much concentrated power.

496
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 4: You misinformation. People are swamped in misinformation. You weren't allowing

497
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 4: facts to be on Facebook when you were in charge, dude,

498
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 4: So does he know that or not?

499
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 5: We are fact checking and ending the careers of people

500
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 5: who have said we should reopen the school sooner.

501
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 2: We're helping America.

502
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 5: I don't know, honestly, it's so outrageous it deserves a response.

503
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: But a senile, miserable has been.

504
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 5: Just voted out of office, leaving office with the lowest

505
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 5: approval ratings of anybody but Dick Nixon.

506
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: It's just just go away, just go away and shut.

507
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 4: Up for that bat caur god. I was trying to

508
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 4: find he say rest in peace, but he's been resting

509
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 4: in peace for like the last three and a half years.

510
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 4: I was trying to find. It happened over the weekend,

511
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 4: so we haven't talked about it. This week. He did

512
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 4: one of those shuffling you can't hardly hear him interview

513
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 4: things where he said, yeah, on facebooks, do it a

514
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 4: way of fact checking. This is awful for the country.

515
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 4: It's just can you believe that? No fact checking?

516
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: Dude?

517
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 4: What are you talking about?

518
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: Right?

519
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 5: Checking facts like natural immunities as good as vaccinated immunity.

520
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 5: You couldn't say that thanks to the Biden administration. Thanks

521
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 5: for the fact check, uncle, Joe.

522
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 4: And so that's just nuts. He's either so out of

523
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 4: it he doesn't understand, or he's even more partisan than

524
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 4: I realized. And then he ended with an evil and

525
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 4: then he ended with after fifty years of public service,

526
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 4: and that just drove me nuts because he's he and

527
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 4: his entire extended family got insanely wealthy. Do you get

528
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 4: to call that public service if you got insanely wealthy?

529
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 4: So it's just a coincidental byproduct of your public service.

530
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 5: If you have the world's smartest crackhead lawyer making millions

531
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 5: and millions of dollars from fourig and oligarchs, everybody's gonna

532
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 5: get wealthy.

533
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 4: Jack, I don't know you and your brother and everybody

534
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: else extended on down to grandchildren. Everybody lives in all

535
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 4: these different compounds, and the money gets spread around with

536
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: all the LLC's. Thanks for your public service.

537
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: Got so many shell companies.

538
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 5: I can't remember the names of half of them, right, Yeah,

539
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 5: public service lovely. Oh that reminds me. Here's a headline

540
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 5: for you. I'm not sure we'll have time to get

541
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 5: into this.

542
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: Ah, there it is.

543
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 4: Congressional Democrats portfolios spiked thirty one percent in twenty twenty four.

544
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 4: Well I didn't do that well, which that which out

545
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 4: did the S and P by seven percent or almost

546
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 4: a third. Could you make the argument, well, those are

547
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 4: you know, Congress people, they're they're they're smart, they're acquainted,

548
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 4: they read the journal and the wappo, so they make

549
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 4: better investment decisions than most of us. Or to make

550
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: that argument, or they know about things that are going

551
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 4: to happen before we know about them and can adjust

552
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 4: their stocks accordingly.

553
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: Take you because I don't want to rush through this.

554
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 5: Got a report on the top stock gainers and what

555
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 5: they invested in, plus what committees they sit on.

556
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: We'll get into that tomorrow.

557
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 4: I put all my money in those gold Trump tennis shoes. Yeah,

558
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 4: I'm hold onto them. I still think they're going to

559
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 4: go up.

560
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: I bought four roast to the Trump Bibles.

561
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 4: For God's sake, we will finish strong next.

562
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 9: College athletes can now make millions before ever going pro

563
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 9: thanks to a set of NCAA rules called the NIL,

564
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 9: which stands for Name, Image and Likeness. Since twenty twenty one,

565
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 9: any athlete can profit from commercial endorsements, jersey sales, even

566
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 9: autograph sessions. What's really changing the game, though, is another

567
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 9: part of the program that's morphed into a monster athletes

568
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 9: getting paid just to play. Schools are tapping deep pocketed

569
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 9: alums and donors to pay millions to high level athletes,

570
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 9: launching bidding wars for recruits, and raids by schools on

571
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 9: each other's rosters. In twenty twenty four and estimated one

572
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 9: point sixty seven billion dollars was spent on student athletes,

573
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 9: and most of it on men's sports, more than a

574
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 9: billion dollars estimated on college football, in about three hundred

575
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 9: ninety million dollars for college basketball.

576
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 4: So we've talked about this a lot. Do you think

577
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 4: college sports is going to eat itself with this? Not

578
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 4: that I think they have any option legally speaking, but

579
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 4: or is it going to continue to be? Okay, I

580
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: just I forget which Tiamo was, but one of the

581
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 4: football teams had seventeen players that didn't play in their

582
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 4: big bowl game.

583
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, Well, and the stuff that that report was

584
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 5: talking about specifically to your question, I don't know, And

585
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 5: I wish I had a strong opinion on this because

586
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 5: it's so interesting. But I have a number of buddies,

587
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 5: golf buddies and other friends who are really big college

588
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 5: sports fans, and their passion is undiminished.

589
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: They talk about it all the time.

590
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 4: Seems to be Yeah, that's basically right.

591
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 5: For they're all in the matters and all. They're aware

592
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 5: of it in all, but they're still super into it.

593
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't know.

594
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 4: And so what we've decided legally speaking, is all those

595
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 4: years it was incredibly unfair to those college athletes that

596
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 4: they weren't making any money. In some cases extreme examples.

597
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 4: I mean, you think about some of the football players

598
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 4: in basketball players particularly that went through back in the

599
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 4: day three or four years at college is the biggest

600
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 4: star in America and didn't get a cent.

601
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 5: Right, and then you would lose your heisman for you know,

602
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 5: accepting whatever.

603
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 4: They drive a car, somebody lets you drop a car, Yeah,

604
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 4: something like that.

605
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 5: It's just ridiculous. You know, we didn't have time for

606
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 5: another thing. We can get to tomorrow.

607
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 4: Maybe is there's this big lawsuit about college admissions that

608
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 4: reveals how the big elite universities really talk about the

609
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 4: rich kids. They've had to give up emails and memos

610
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 4: and stuff like that.

611
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: I would love to hear that.

612
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 4: Sameritocracy Well, there's Jack again, there's Joe Man. It's time

Speaker 2: hear they're final class people. They have to go.

617
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 4: What is it about that makes us all so creeped out?

618
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 4: Which sounder? Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

622
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: All right, maybe you guys can help me out.

623
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 4: Is it a tradition for them to the previous president

624
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 4: to prank the incoming president, like by gluing the desk

625
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 4: in the White House? Or I don't think so? Now No,

626
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 4: I don't think there are any pranks involved. I should No,

627
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 4: I think Obama's people did that, but they're snitty little beaches.

628
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 4: Well remember when Clinton left and Bush came in, they

629
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 4: took all the w's off all the keyboards, which is

630
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 4: seen as horrible annoying. Katie Green has a final thought, Katie,

631
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 4: on one more thing. Yesterday we talked about homemade butter,

632
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 4: so I made it yesterday.

633
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: I'll never buy butter again.

634
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 4: Homemade butter's pretty so good. Yeah, it's amazing.

635
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:51,560

00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,040

Speaker 5: homemade Brad please please, you can die happy Jack. A

638
00:33:59,440 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 5: final thought.

639
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 4: My son beat me twice in chess last night so badly.

640
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 4: I was in bed watching YouTube videos on chess, instructional

641
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 4: videos and reading books to try to figure out how

642
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 4: to get better. It was horribly embarrassing.

643
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 5: My final thought is the percentage of people who say

644
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 5: I'll let you know first thing tomorrow who actually let

645
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 5: you know anything first thing tomorrow is roughly four percent.

646
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 5: I'm trying to do a couple of deals in my god,

647
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 5: it just look text me and say, hey, it's going

648
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 5: to be another couple hours.

649
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 4: I say, this is common courtesy.

650
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: Whatever happened to common courtesy?
