cost you $18 and require a trip through a new

00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.819
screening process. The Transportation Security

show. Let's talk tech. Amazon's lawsuit against

00:10:21.899 --> 00:10:25.120
perplexity has opened the door to the major conflict

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:29.059

00:10:29.059 --> 00:10:32.960
is now being called the DoorDash problem. At

00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.100

00:10:46.539 --> 00:10:50.200

gaps in cinematic culture. things that haven't

00:11:42.370 --> 00:11:46.190

Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote

00:12:06.269 --> 00:12:10.299
of the day. And today, Our quote comes from the

American diplomat and Nobel Peace Prize laureate,

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:19.480
George C. Marshall. And he said, Peace is more

00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.799
than the absence of war. It is a positive force,

00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:28.039
