ecause the stuff that is fact, like a hurricane really hit, it's the same on every news. The ones that you know are true are the same on every news. It's only the ones that aren't true where one news item will report it differently.

All right, so wait for that AI. It could spot fake news I believe. It could also spot new fake news by the wording of the stories and also the outlets that carry it because they could identify which outlets have had the most fake news. Might be some subjectivity about seeding that information but you could watch it over time. It could also determine fake news from the wording of the people who talk about it, don't you think? Because the way people write about stuff is almost a fingerprint, right? When people are writing fake news stories I'll bet you there's a signature in there somewhere, a pattern, a way they talk about things that's different. I'll bet. And I'll bet AI could find it.

Well the monster is back under the bed. You thought there was no monster under the bed. Oh there's a monster under the bed but only if you're an anti-Trumper because the monster is Trump is back. Well he's been back for a while but it's increasing. He did a rally in Iowa. He's not announcing but he's sort of walking us up to the line of announcing.

We need frame checkers. Oh that's a good way to say it. More than fact-checkers, we need to see that the story is framed correctly. Somebody says Tim Pool is doing something like that. I don't know about that effort but I've been hearing about it in the comments.

So Trump's back and the news is happy and horrified because I got something to talk about but they're horrified. I tell you they're horrified. And I guess Trump is doing this trick again where he's putting the Blacks for Trump who are wearing the T-shirts that say Blacks for Trump behind him on the stage. I feel like it's time to get rid of that now. When he was running the first time and he did that I said, well at least it's visual and people could see some diversity back there and that probably works in his favor. But obviously it looked a little artificial, right? Nobody thought that they just spontaneously showed up and got good seats, right? Even though you knew it was artificial, because it was visual it probably still worked. That was my take. It was obviously political and fake but a lot of things that politicians do when they run is political and fake. So I mean that's baked in. So it was political and it was fake but maybe it worked just because it was visual. Whether they were paid or not it probably still was a good look. But not anymore. I mean I feel like it's just so obviously — I don't know, it just doesn't look genuine slightly and I feel like it's just maybe working against him right now. Pandering, man. Or I don't know, a little too on the nose. I don't know, it just — it's a little cringy now.

There was a trending hashtag that said civil war is coming. I think this was probably a Trump supporter or something. It was one person that started trending on social media. Let me give you a prediction: civil war is not coming. The civil war is not coming. We're not even close. There's nothing like that coming. Yeah, lots of protesting and complaining and you know we might be even more divided but no, there's no civil war coming. Do you know why? You don't want it but you don't need another reason. The reason that there's no civil war coming is that not enough people want it. If we were anywhere near a lot of people wanting it, well then maybe. But no, we're nowhere near it. Don't worry about it.

Mike Pompeo is making noise as if he's going to primary Trump, run against him. What do you think about that? I have two thoughts. Thought number one: I feel like the Republicans should run a primary. What do you think? I think given just the age of Trump alone and the controversy which he's created, I think he needs to be primaried for the good of Trump as well as the nation. Because I think Trump needs to beat the field again to really have that legitimacy that he had the first time. Now I think he can do it. I think he would beat the field again but I don't know. I think maybe the system requires it this time. You know if he were a less controversial character and younger — because age I think has to be factored in — then I'd say no, he's earned his place at the top and I think he's earned his place at the top. But just for the benefit of the voters I'd like to have him stress test a little bit. You know, make sure he can still deliver. If he can, he can, right? If he can, he can. And the indication is it looks like he can. So I would suspect he'd win a primary but I feel like the system requires a little push. You know, you need a little competition in the system.

Pompeo, I don't have a strong opinion about him one way or another. I think Afghanistan will hang over him. I don't know. He's smart. He can communicate well. I just don't think he brings the sizzle. You need a little more sizzle.

So Jim Acosta is doing this opiniony thing on CNN now. An
