WEBVTT - It's Stabby The Clown 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:17.280 Arm Strong and Jack Katy and he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:25.680 Now, the one thing that everyone seemed to agree on 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.560 is that Bondi is qualified after three decades as a 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.599 state prosecutor. But Democrats still appear skeptical that she will 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.559 be able to resist the kind of pressure that President 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.239 electromp has put on his previous attorneys general when he 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.040 wanted to use the Department of Justice to pursue his 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:42.839 own aims. 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.120 All right, whatever, But so the main thing there is 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.559 that there's agreement Pam Bondi is going to be the 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.240 next attorney General quite easily. 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:55.960 So, mister chairman, I would like to introduce a tangent. 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.680 Places why you have a call for a tangent? Can 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.920 I get a second? I'd like to hear his tangent. 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:07.920 Here's your tangent. So that was some galon paulid on CNN, 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.839 And I feel a little the way I feel about 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:14.959 kicking CNN is a little bit like how I feel 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.959 about kicking the president from his miserable attempt at a 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:25.280 farewell address last night. It's increasingly irrelevant CNN. Nobody's watching 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.000 fewer every day. They're they're a vestige of the past. 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.319 And I will you know, I don't pun we probably 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:32.280 shouldn't be talking about it. 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:33.720 I don't want to be. 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.800 The old guy saying Truman was a Demi crag, right, 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.800 I mean, nobody cares exactly. But I was reading about 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.000 that billion dollar defamation suit that the guy filed against 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:47.040 CNN for well for defaming him, Joe, that's what a 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.120 defamation suit is, but having to do with him trying 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.240 to get people out of Afghanistan, and they called him 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.400 a black marketeer and a ripoff artist and all, and 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:59.240 with no evidence. Reading the depositions and the behind the 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.720 scenes email and stuff that have been subpoenaed by the court, 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.480 they had all sorts of people at CNN saying, WHOA, 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.160 there are enormous holes in this story. This is terrible 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.160 and unfair. I realized it's exciting, but what about this, 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.000 that and the other? They had good people at CNN 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:22.240 trying desperately to say we can't air this, but air 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.600 it they did because it sounded exciting, I mean, just 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:31.079 morally and journalistically ethically bankrupt, really amazing. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.360 I just saw the headline today. They're moving wolf Blitzer 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.480 to mornings to try to save that. But again, we're 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.480 talking about something nobody watches. We learned early on in 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.320 our talk career there could be a story and you 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.320 can't go on the air and say, why does no 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.480 one care about this story. We'll take your calls. You 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.000 don't get any calls. It's right because nobody cares. It's 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:52.360 in the definition so premise. It's similar about CNN. 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.680 Yeah, boy are they terrible. They deserve to go away, 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.040 and I wish them well. I don't wish them anything. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.400 I didn't hear well. We were on the air for 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.360 a lot of it. The back and forth of the 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.480 hearing with our new attorney general easily could be the 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.480 next female president. Oh wow, never even thought about that. 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:15.280 Very very bright and and tough, too hot. I think 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:16.799 I don't think you can get elected to be in 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.360 the hole you and your I think it holds you 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.600 back as a woman. It shouldn't. It's unfair. Well, I 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.520 think it does both. It helps you and holds you 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.200 back in certain ways. Anyway, this is her back and 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.119 forth with our actual senator, and I can't believe it's true, 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:31.960 Adam Schiff. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.600 I'm asking you, sitting here today, whether you are aware 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.920 of a factual predicate to investigate Liz Cheney. 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.600 Senator. No one has to investigate Liz Cheney. That is 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:42.120 a high. 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.480 President has called for it publicly. You are aware of that, 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:45.960 aren't you. 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:49.600 No one has asked me to investigate. But we're also worried. 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.680 You know, whats to be worried about? MS Bondy. Please, 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.000 you're right now, you are aware of the root. 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:57.560 MS Bondy. 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.640 Your robbery is a higher than the national question. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.120 That's what I want. 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:14.560 To Adam Shift show later videotaped slumbering soundly during that 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:15.280 same hearing. 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.880 They're so meaningless. These things they just they just are 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:23.400 just and they get more so. Uh throughout my lifetime 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:24.279 so far they. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.760 Just a grand standy and dumb. 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.000 I got one more eighty five we want to play. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.320 This was seen by people who like her as one 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.640 of her highlights. You speaking, I hope you answer, misspid. 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:39.160 Senator. 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:44.159 Let me answer my question. 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.839 I'm not going to be bullied pause of the United 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.280 States of America, which was deeply disappointing. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:51.360 I guess. 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.080 Today you're not going to be bullied by me, Senator, 0:04:58.000 --> 0:04:58.480 I'm not. 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.320 Going to be bullied by you either way. 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.680 I got it wrong either way, it doesn't really make 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.400 any of You're not going to be bullied by me? 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.080 Yes? True? Why are you shouting at me? I'm sorry? 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:10.960 I got it backwards. 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.839 Yeah, she handled all of the I mean, would you 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.640 hire some are you gonna have an enemy's list? And 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.479 she made it clear I wouldn't take any job in 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.320 which anybody asked me to do anything unethical. 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.239 Look at my career. You Putts? She didn't say you Potts, 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.360 but she could have. So will she will coast him? 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.440 Nancy Pelosi not going to go to the Trump inauguration. 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.600 It could be health reasons, right, she's still hurt from 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.320 when she fell down the stairs as an old lady 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.679 in her high heels and broke her ankle. No idea 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.680 that might be it. They're making a big deal out 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.680 of Michelle. Obama's not gonna be there. It's also unclear 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:45.880 if that's a health thing or not. 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:49.760 Well. And who cares? 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.120 All the former presidents? Well, is it a diss or 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:52.839 something like that? I ge? 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.880 Is it a measure of Yeah, Washington's contempt for Trump? Blah, 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:56.280 blah blah. 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.480 Yeah, I guess that's a semi legitimate conversation. But uh, 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.279 I don't know. I guess the part of me that 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.120 is revolted by Washington's self obsession. 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.520 Who's in, who's out, who has power, who's hot? Right? 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:11.120 I just I don't care. How are you going to govern? 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:12.720 How's it going to affect Americans? 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:14.599 We will be on the air on Monday. It's a 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.479 company holiday. We could have taken the day off, but 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.960 we did not when we realized it's inauguration Day. So 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.320 we will actually be on the air when the nuclear 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.640 codes are handed over from ancient Joe Biden to Donald Trump, 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.479 who is at least sentient compared to the current president, 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:30.760 but also ancient. 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.280 Yes, we are. We are truly public servants. 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:34.880 You know. 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:39.720 So I was I'm reading some MLK stuff right now 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.680 because it's his holiday is on Monday, and I do 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.640 that every year for some reason. And I'm getting into 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:51.120 the David Garrow book something the cross, Carrying the cross? 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.720 What's it a burden? When you have a burden, there's 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.520 the name. I gotta now, I gotta know. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:59.200 I wish I could help. 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.960 That's a very very famous but bearing the Cross, very 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:03.760 famous book When the Fold Surprise back in the day. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.760 But anyway, so I was reading about Martin Luther King Junior, 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.279 and I lived in Memphis around that time when he 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.160 was shot as a little kid. So I was sent 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.760 in my mom an email about that, like when did 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.680 when was? When did we move to Memphis and where 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.200 exactly did we live? The reason I bring this up 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.600 is my mom is the same age as Joe Biden, 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.200 the guy we saw on TV last night. They were 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.160 within a week of each other. On her birthday. My 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.600 mom was asked about something from a half a century ago, 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.440 someplace we lived for like nine months. She knew exactly 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.440 when we moved there and the name of the place 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.520 and the address off the top of her head. Joe 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.120 Biden was asked, when were you vice president? And he 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:44.400 couldn't come up with it, and the mainstream media excuse that, well, 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.280 you can't expect a guy to remember when he was 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:48.880 vice frid My mom's the same age. 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:49.800 She remembers where. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.840 We lived briefly a half a century ago. He doesn't 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.400 remember when he was vice president. I can't wait. I 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.840 hope there's a reckoning on this. But how crazy it 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:03.680 is that everybody covered up for how badly that guy's 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:04.800 brain works. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.160 Yeah, well, on the right side of the aisle, we'll 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.080 certainly reckon with it, and some reasonable moderates will as well. 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.200 But there's gonna be no mia culpa. There's gonna be 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.000 no great. 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:20.320 Horrified Well, of course, did I mention the Washington Post 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.320 new slogan. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.480 Oh you told us that there is one, but you 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:25.560 did not reveal it. 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:31.120 Democracy dies in darkness, so self important and ironic. 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.720 Just it'd be hard to do worse. 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:37.640 I don't think I can find it. It's something like 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.760 telling the story to all of America. It's basically that. Okay, 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.120 So it's not like, yeah, well it's Jeff Bezos is 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.640 trying to go that direction, as you know, by by 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.679 not endorsing a candidate and all that sort of stuff. 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.720 So I'm I'm optimistic about a whole bunch of different 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:58.040 things that have been ushered in with Trump's pretty dominant win. 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:00.000 Yeah, which is exciting. 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.240 One other story that just came across the Super Bowl 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.000 is not far away. We got a lot of playoff 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:09.040 football this weekend. State Farm has scrapped their Super Bowl 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.800 twenty twenty five commercial as outrage Mounts over LA fires. 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.800 I'm guessing they were thinking it just wasn't a good 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.200 idea to just raise our heads up and remind people 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.000 they just didn't want to have insurance company as a 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:25.439 topic at Super Bowl parties. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:31.040 I'm guessing Yeah, I think so, right. Yeah, Yeah, that's 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.160 probably a decent move. 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.160 I'll bet there's going to be a lot of fairly 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.520 heartfelt commercials. People are probably scrambling right now to come 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.600 up with something that's here at Budweiser, we care about 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.280 this and that and are donating something or other. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:51.559 Yeah, probably so, Yeah, particularly if the Rams were to. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.599 Make it the big contest. 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.280 Yeah, you're right. Would do you think they would a 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:06.800 little of the everybody's rooting for him because attached to 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.760 Los Angeles thing that happens sometimes with teams. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.920 Yeah, a little bit. I don't know. I don't know. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.640 I think the Chiefs are one Super Bowl went away 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.959 from being the team everybody hates. 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:25.320 Them, hates based on my life. Yeah, well, if they 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:26.240 win three in a row. 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:27.080 Good lord. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.240 Yeah, and maybe chief if they won three in a row, 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.760 they would be one Josh Allen amazing play away from 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.200 an undefeated season and a three peat in the NFL, 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.160 which would definitely solidify you as the greatest team of 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.960 all time. That's insane. Yeah, Oh, we got a bunch 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.320 of other stuff on the way, stay with us. 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.000 In honor of Valentine's Day, Appleby's has launched two new cocktails. 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.079 But if you've been taken to Appleby's on Valentine's Date, 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.160 you're gonna need way more than two. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.400 Oh kind of like date at Applebe's, huh, with the 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.800 bourbon streak steak and a whatever kind of chocolate shake, 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.800 that song, and don't ne me to knock an appleby 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:14.200 It's perfectly fine place to spend your Valentine's. 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.360 I don't go anywhere on Valentine's Day, and I don't 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.840 often go to Applebee's, but I don't judge others who do. 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:25.000 Jack to each their own. I say, I'm. 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.520 Trying to think if there is an Applebee's anywhere, handy anyway, 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.439 it doesn't matter. Coming up a couple of interesting aspects 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.520 of the current political scene, including a list of quotes 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:39.000 from Democrats that make it, you know, in escapable clear 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.319 they have no idea why they lost the election and 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:46.920 how unpopular some of their ideas are. AOC is a 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.880 fruit loop. There's a hint, so a couple of non 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:55.640 political notes here. Fake job postings are becoming a real problem. 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.440 At least one in five jobs advertised is fake or 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.000 never to be filled with no intention of filling it. 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.480 Ah, well that's a problem. But I also know the 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.800 flip side, trying to hire sitters. I don't know what 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.760 percentage of those are fake so that they can claim 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.240 that they're looking for a job, because it allows you 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:19.320 to get various checks from the government. All kinds of 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.720 people I've come across that have no interest in actually 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.079 taking a job. So if you're fake job listings and 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.400 fake im i'm for hire listings, makes it very difficult. 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:30.840 Yeah, just just nutty. 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:35.440 They mentioned that this is dispiriting for workers, obviously leading 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.440 to distrust in citicism, feeling like it's rigged against them. 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.840 It's kind of a horror show, said a personnel company 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.880 president co founder. With the job markets become more sole 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.840 crushing than ever, companies have a number of nefarious and 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.520 normal reasons for posting not quite real jobs. They may 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.120 want to suggest they're growing even when they aren't, or 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.960 may keep postings up in case they get a candidate 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:01.040 who's too good to pass up people who like have 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.680 their house permanently for sale for like a laughable amount 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:08.000 of money. Oh yeah, in case, you know, some Chinese 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.120 oligarch decides I want a home and name your town. 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.319 If you're in a certain neighborhood in San Francisco or Carmel. 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.200 I've seen that sort of thing, that those houses are 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.400 always for sale in case Brad Pitt walks by and 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:18.600 decides he wants to live there. 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.400 Yeah. Yeah, but wall Man, it's got to be discouraging. 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.000 Maybe I shouldn't be saying this a lot, but I 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:31.440 don't know. We've been involved in situations where you need 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.840 to hire somebody you know who it's going to be, 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.960 and then they have to post a job opening for 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.600 a certain amount of time before you go with the 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.400 person that you already know you want, right just to 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.360 satisfy all kinds of legal things. 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.079 Yea, including egal opportunity that sort of thing. 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.040 Yeah, I mean, obviously the assistant who's been doing a 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.080 brilliant job and everybody knows should have the gig. 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.240 Probably now you're gonna give him the job. Anyway. 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.160 Here's a young woman who graduated from Carnegie Mellon's Tepper 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.800 school of thisiness. Oh, that's a fine school of business, 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.959 and she's a scientist and now has an MBA and 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:07.439 the rest of it. Out of more than two hundred 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.880 and sixty applications, she received one hundred and twenty four 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.160 rejection letters and ultimately never heard back from one hundred 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.600 and sixteen companies, including several where she had already made 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.160 it through two or three rounds of interviews, flown in 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.560 to meet with executives, or tackled take home assignments that 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.840 required several hours of work to prove that she was 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:25.400 up to it. 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.920 Do you most is just shocking getting ghosted like that? 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:35.120 You got adult kids? Do you mostly apply for jobs online? Now? 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:36.600 Almost entirely? 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:38.800 Yeah? Yeah. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.800 At one point I would say, you know, go in person, 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.360 shake a hand, look in their eye, tell them how 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.000 much you'd like to work there. And I eventually became 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.280 convinced if you do that, they will run you out 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.080 of the store because you are a crack pot. Nobody's 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:54.600 there who goes through the applications. They're busy. That's not 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.840 the way it works. But now I understand because of 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.760 the imperfections of internet hiring. Depending on you're talking about, 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.640 it's it's flowed back the other way. Some Oh really 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.720 you should go in. Yeah, I just I feel for people. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:08.280 I mean, this is this is terrible. 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:13.440 Oh yeah, but I I've applied for jobs before in 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.720 person and you fill out the form there in the 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.520 little lobby and you hand it to the person and 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.840 you just okay, well, well I'll show this to whoever 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.320 put it on file or some means. No, I'm never 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.120 going to hear from these people in my life. What 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:26.680 am I doing? How am I going to eat? 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:30.000 I do enjoy filling out the street address of my 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:34.239 high school over and over again back in the day. 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:35.800 Do they still ask that sort of question? 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.320 Yeah, I don't. I don't actually know. Uh. 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:41.000 There's another article kind of similar in a way that 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.360 we can all relate to. It is harder than ever 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.320 to find real product recommendations online. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:49.000 Yeah. 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:53.040 The Great World War between fake reviews and trying to 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.080 get rid of fake reviews, it's not going well. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:56.360 Right. 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.800 Where are the Nazis in this situation? And we're calling 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.800 on Steiner to turn back the Russians when Steiner's off 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:12.000 the battlefield, it's it's miserable. Sorry, that's too bad. Yeah, 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:13.479 it is, And it's frustrating. 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:14.040 I've been. 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.960 And I'm a skeptical guy, and I think I've got 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.200 a really good eye for bullless. But man, is it 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.800 getting tough and time consuming Because you get to something 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.640 that looks, you know, really reliable. They spend a lot 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.760 of timeline of energy, They have a video, they go 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:32.360 through it and all, and then you find out that 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:33.640 now they're sponsored by. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.400 These people, right yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.240 And if I have a brand that does X amount 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.600 of revenue, yeah, I'm going to pay somebody twenty five 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.520 grand to spend two days putting together a video where 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.200 they pretend to be a neutral, I don't know, guitar 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:46.920 string appraiser or whatever. 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.240 Right, yeah, I put together this barbecue grill AND's the 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.040 best one I've ever had. And that's how they're getting paid. 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:53.480 Yeah. 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:59.080 Further complicating things is that search engines, including are particularly Google, 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:03.360 often probably oritize the less reliable lists. In many cases, 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.760 that's because, oh, we don't have time to explain bribery. 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:08.800 In essence, Joe. 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.320 Biden made me so angry last night, among other things, 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.760 only wrong. And get first of all, this one of 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.639 your major polls has Trumpet fifty percent approval. Now the 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:21.399 highest he's ever been ever at any point since he 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.280 got into politics in this particular poll, as is true 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.440 with a whole bunch of other polls Gallup and others, 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:32.040 Isn't that wow? Nobody predicted that? Indeed, TikTok. The whole 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.280 story continues to be something. It's supposed to come to 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:37.720 an end kind of this weekend, unless something intervenes or whatever. 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.280 But anyway, young people have to espouse their opinions online. 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:42.399 Here's one of those young people. 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.879 So I downloaded red Note, and I'm no longer convinced 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.359 that we are living in a first world country seeing 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:53.520 the everyday lives of Chinese people, like obviously certain Chinese 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.239 people are not sing everybody's lives, but it's just like 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.760 insanely eye opening. There's something really remarkable that I had 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:04.280 known about most of these Chinese people, even older people 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:08.639 like people in their forties, fifty sixties, they look so 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:13.880 much less traumatized than most Americans. 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:14.200 Now. 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.920 I don't fully understand Chinese culture at all, and I'm 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.560 sure it varies a lot. It's a very very big place, 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:25.520 but it's interesting seeing how lighthearted and kind and gentle 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:29.399 these people are, especially in comparison to Americans. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.159 Can somebody put her in contact with the Some people 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:38.960 don't have maps, a girl. 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.359 There was one sentence in there that was unintentionally hilarious, 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:45.879 and I hate to miss quote her because it was 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:54.320 it was perfectly idiotic. I'm not completely up what, Michael, 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:55.840 you got to play for me again, I've got to 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:57.680 have this just right. I should have jotted it down, 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:02.080 so I. 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:06.200 Downloaded red note. And I'm no longer convinced that we 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.280 are living in a first world country seeing the everyday 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:13.000 lives of Chinese people, Like obviously they're Chinese people are 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.879 not sting everybody's lives, but it's just like insanely eye opening. 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:21.040 There's something really remarkable that I have noticed about most 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.080 of these Chinese people, even older people, like people in 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:30.840 their forty fifty sixties, they look so much less traumatized 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.680 than most Americans. Now, I don't fully understand Chinese culture 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.400 at all, and I'm sure there are a lot don't 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:43.240 fully understand Chinese culture at all at all. 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:46.200 But here's my opinion. 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.640 What was the word fully doing in there. 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:55.159 I don't fully understand Chinese culture at all, meaning you 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:56.880 don't understand Chinese culture at all. 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:00.280 You have no. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.800 Basis, no factual but no experience, no perspective, no education 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:08.399 on which to base any opinion whatsoever. Well, not fully 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.639 like I don't watch or play golf at all, but 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:14.480 I think that I mean. 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.520 Exactly my opinion. 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.480 Course design emphasizes a bunker play. 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:19.880 Yeah. 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:27.359 Great, people out there in our nation don't have that. 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.040 And I believe that our education, like such as in 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:35.840 South Africa and Iraq everywhere, like such as. 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:41.200 And the Iraq everywhere such as are not as traumatized 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:42.640 as most Americans. 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.440 Well, you're you're traumatized because you're raised like a veal 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:48.840 calf and you're terrified of life. 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:53.960 Now my uh, one of my really smart nieces who's 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:57.480 in graduate school is that they're they're all TikTok people. 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.840 And uh, when I'm mentioned the whole Chinese Communist Party thing, 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:06.800
