Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, President Trump is not happy about his Time magazine
cover photo. While he seems to be happy with the story,
he thinks the picture they chose is terrible. He said
on Truth Social Time magazine wrote a relatively good story
about me, but the picture maybe the worst of all time.
They disappeared my hair, then had something floating on top
(00:20):
of my head that looked like a floating crown, but
an extremely small one.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
It's really weird.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this
is a super bad picture and it deserves to be
called out now. It's like a picture of his neck
at a bad It's terrible. So I posted the picture.
I shared it on our Instagram story. You can see
it at Ryan Gorman Show. And I also put a
poll like whether or not it's a bad picture.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Bad picture.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Sixty four percent said yes, it's a bad picture, but
thirty six percent said no, it's not a bad picture
at all.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
That's a bad picture. That's terrible the neck thing.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
And then, as someone who is growing more and more
concerned about thinning hair, I can understand their frustration he
has there with how his hair looks in that shot. Yeah,
not a great picture, just you know, if you're gonna
write the good article, yeah, get the.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Picture right, and don't have a controversy like.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yes, what was the point of that picture?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Doesn't make any sense again, And pictures taken from underneath,
no matter how good looking you are, they're always bad.
President Trump hosted a celebration of life for Charlie Kirk
yesterday on what would have been his thirty second birthday.
He talked about how Charlie seemed older than he was,
he was wise beyond his years, and he awarded him
with Presidential Medal of Freedom. He also talked about Charlie's wife,
(01:34):
Erica Kirk, and shared what Charlie said about her.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I was with him before I met Erica, and he
told me he was gonna get married. He said, you
won't believe how beautiful she is. I said, well, then,
now that I made it, he's right. But then he
also said, and you know what, she's like, the smartest
person I know. See, they do go together on occasion,
not office, but on occasion they go together. But he
(02:02):
was in love with you. He was deeply in love
with you. It's great.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
It was hilarious, right, one of the best Trump moments
I think you've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, I thought that was pretty good. And then there
was another funny moment. Erica was speaking, and of her
speech was very emotional, but at one point they did
start laughing when she said this.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Surprisingly enough, he did pray for his enemies, which is
very hard, but he did.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He did.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
He did no one else. I mean I saw him
do it.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
No, he never did it in front of anyone else,
but I can attest to that.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So Trump was like standing right behind her when she
said that, and he's kind of like shrugging his shoulders
and like smirking and everything. So there were a few
funny moments yesterday. It was a nice ceremony.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It was a nice ceremony.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yesterday, Instagram announced it's making changes to make teens experience
on the app similar to viewing a PG thirteen movie
with restrictions on sexual content and other adult material. So
one of the new restrictions is called age gating, and
I guess YouTube already does this. So if an Instagram
account regularly shares content that's age and appropriate, alcohol, porn,
(03:13):
stuff like that, then the company will block all teen
accounts from being able to see or chat with that account.
Another restriction will block teen's search results for adult search terms,
so there's going to be a bunch of stuff that
they can't look up. But these changes only apply to
teen specific accounts, which are accounts that the teen's created
(03:33):
using their actual birth date.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, there's a lot of trust involved here.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Of the kids on Instagram use a.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Different birth date, right exactly. That's the problem that they
have here.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
And they say that they can through I guess on AI.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
They can kind of see.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
That it's a account, like that it's a teen on
the account.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
But it is.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
They won't say how effective all of that.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I don't think it's very effective at all.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But what I find ridiculous every time we talk about
this stuff is that we got flagged on Facebook for
a picture of a guy in espeedo and we got
totally like punished for that.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And then the other day I.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Listed a coach bag on a yard sale page and
it flagged me for trying to sell counterfeit goods and.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Like ding ding to my profile. I'm like, but it's
a real coach bag.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
You can try to sell a load bag instead of coach.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
They can do that, but they can't. It's from looking
at portage exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Amazon is facing yet another lawsuit, this one over something
we've actually talked about a few.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Times recently on this show.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Two people are suing Amazon, accusing them of advertising fake
sales and misleading consumers during their Prime Day events. So
the lawsuit claims that Amazon calculates the big discounts on
Prime Day by subtracting from an inflated list price. And
as an example, they had a pair of Shocks earbuds
and the list price was one seventy nine five, but
(04:59):
that price had not been Amazon's list price for the
last ninety days. They had been sold for one hundred
and thirty two one hundred and sixty dollars, and then
on Prime Day they bumped that price up to one
seventy nine and crossed it out and lowered it. Another
one a kid's tablet that was listed for forty percent
off of one nineteen ninety nine, making it about seventy
(05:20):
two dollars, but it had been sold for between fifty
and eighty five dollars in the ninety days leading up
to the sale.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Even less than the deal.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Yes, exactly, well, and Rory O'Neil was the one that
pointed it out to us when we talked about prime deals,
I think over the summer, and he said, watch out
because they overinflate the prices.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And I had been looking at a laptop that was
like four thousand dollars marked down to five hundred. And
then just recently, when I was shopping for my new house,
a steam mop was listed at three ninety nine ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I'm like, wow, this thing must.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Be pretty amazing, and it was on sale for ninety
nine dollars. And then I looked it up and the
regular price at Walmart is ninety nine dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Should have bought it and then you could be part
of this lawsuit. You could have you could have joined
this loss and against Amazon.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
