ing on an Android device — and I don't know if it's every Android device, every release, I don't know if it's the app or if they're using the browser to get to it, so there's a lot I don't know. But the claim is this, and you've had this experience. Have you ever had the experience where you're in some kind of an app — it doesn't have to be Twitter — and you go to click something and just before you click it, the screen moves and you click the wrong thing? How many times does that happen? Probably a lot, right? Your finger is moving in to press a button and then the screen scrolls and you press the wrong button. You're like, ah, wrong button. I deleted a couple of messages yesterday by wrong-fingering them anyway.

So there's a belief — or not a belief, a hypothesis. There's a hypothesis that there might be one interface situation where people are automatically unfollowing who do not mean to do so. But how likely is that? I don't think any of that explains it. To me it looks like the hypothesis has to be that there is some way that somebody is influencing Twitter. Could be somebody from the outside, doesn't have to be an insider. It could be somebody from the outside, but something's happening. Clearly we don't know if it's third-party apps, because that's my other hypothesis. When you sign up for some third-party apps — say TikTok, just to pick a random example, I'll just randomly pick TikTok. Let's say you had the TikTok app and you wanted to sometimes share your TikToks on Twitter. Well, I believe it asks you if TikTok can have control of your Twitter account. Yeah, think about that. That gives the Chinese government control. I think I would need a fact check on this, but if you have TikTok and Twitter, both apps on your phone, and you've told TikTok you can manage your Twitter, some of your Twitter actions — could the Chinese government through TikTok cause you to unfollow Ambassador Grenell? Could it? I think yes, but I would need some kind of a fact check on that.

All right. Yesterday Twitter purged a bunch of accounts. You saw a lot of people complaining, "Hey, my number of followers went down." I don't think I'd worry about any of that yet, because there's no evidence to suggest that's anything but maintenance. Yeah, it's probably just getting rid of bots, probably just maybe cleaning out some dormant accounts, that sort of thing. So I lost — just in case you want to know if it was just you — I think I lost, it's hard to know because I'm adding people at the same time they're subtracting people, but if I were to baseline it, fewer than a thousand users, maybe, out of half a million. So it wasn't a big percentage. And I think you would be better off if they cull the herd once in a while anyway, as long as they're doing it for the right reasons. So I wouldn't worry about any of that yet.

Did all of you see the press conference that the president did yesterday, which was more like a monologue and a lot less like a press conference? So of course most of the networks probably didn't cover it because they like the question part where they can try to embarrass the president. They don't like the monologue part where he just talks about his accomplishments. But I gotta say that was one of the strongest press conferences that I've seen. And again, I'm not sure if you want to call it a press conference. It was more like a monologue. But the monologue part was extraordinarily good. And it was extraordinarily good for a number of reasons. One was his tone and presentation. It was, I would call it, serious and powerful, you know, with sort of some joking at the end which was extra good. But when he was talking about his accomplishments, you know, he would say stuff like, you know, we've done X, and I'd say, "Wow, that's pretty good. That's a pretty good thing to stick in there." And then he'd say another accomplishment, and I think that's two, and those are both pretty good, pretty strong. And then there'd be another one, and they
