formation for anything, it's just pretty close to a guess these days. Science and guessing are largely the same thing. You know, the Venn diagram between I don't know, I'll flip a coin, it's either dangerous or it's not, flip a coin, looks like it's not, about the same odds as science.

All right, there's a report. Fox News had it and a bunch of other people on social media, that if you asked your digital assistant who you should vote for, if you should vote for President Harris or Trump, if you ask them individually, you know, is there a reason to vote for Harris, it'll give you a reason. And if you say is there a reason to vote for Trump, you'll say I don't answer questions like that. Do you believe that story? Do you believe that if I ask my digital assistant about Harris that it will answer differently than if I ask it about Trump? You want to find out? So you might want to cover up your digital devices because I'm going to be talking to all of them at the same time. You ready?

Alexa, is there a good reason to vote for Kamala Harris? I don't know that. Alexa, is there a good reason to vote for President Trump? I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate. Nope, it cannot give you content on a specific candidate. But let me ask again. Alexa, can you give me some reasons to vote for Kamala Harris? Sorry, I don't know that.

So I tested this yesterday and it doesn't give an answer for either one. But there is some possibility that it's different for different users and different regions and maybe there's some customization that is wonky. Maybe they fixed it as soon as it was pointed out. If I were Amazon, the moment that hit the news and social media I would have stopped everything and said well we got to change that. Everything you're doing now is less important. Stop everything, go change that right now. And 10 minutes from now I don't want that happening on our device. I think that's probably what happened. Now I don't know that it was necessarily any scheme by Amazon. I don't think I would go that far. It seems far more likely that it was just some dark corner of the device that wasn't fully vetted out. So I'm not sure I would go so far to say this was intentional, especially since the device doesn't use regular AI, not the way that we think of it. But it's probably complicated and I'm not sure that they always know what it's going to do before somebody tries it. So I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and say it's a little bit of a mystery but doesn't seem important because it seems fine now.

All right, CNN has hired back Brian Stelter to be their chief media analyst and lead author of Reliable Sources newsletter. What's going on? Can somebody explain to me why they rehired Brian Stelter? Is it because he used to be really bad for business but then by staying home and being a good dad to his kids he became not that? What was it? The staying home that cured him? What exactly changed?

And let me ask you this. If you had already tried Brian Stelter and you thought it didn't work out to the point where you actually laid him off, you wouldn't think of trying maybe somebody else? There's nobody else in the entire world who could be a chief media analyst? You know who could be a chief media analyst with no training whatsoever? Me. You know who else could be a chief media analyst with no extra training whatsoever? Every person with a podcast. It's the easiest job in the world. You're just looking at other media and saying what do you think about it? I could do that right away. Hey, I'm looking at CNN. I have comments. Look at me, I have an opinion. That's the whole job. I'm doing his job right now. I think I'm nailing it.

What in the world is going on? If I had st
