And if the only thing you know is that you're seeing both sides, you don't know if you're the person they're trying to influence. And maybe you're not. So maybe you're just seeing regular content. But there's no way that they're going to keep their finger off the button if it's so easy to move the persuasion needle. So anyway, this is not peer-reviewed yet, but it will be. So maybe it's not valid…

Then Biden is going to release 11 Yemeni detainees from Guantanamo. In other words, people with suspected terrorist tendencies. Two of them were, I think, Osama bin Laden's bodyguards. But the Biden administration is assuring us that they've been either rehabilitated or vetted and checked out, and they just want to send them to Oman. To which I say, oh man, how is that a good idea? Now, if he said we're just doing it to save money, then at least I could say, well, seems like a dangerous thing, but at least it saves money. But they're not really saying that. Does this look like a prank? It looks like somebody sat down and said, all right, what's the worst thing we could do? Well, let's do something that's just so indefensible that it'll just be funny. Like why is it that his actual policies are indistinguishable from what I would call a practical joke? That would be a good practical joke. Oh, we're going to free a bunch of terrorists. Why? It's just the power the president has. I know, but why? Well, we're going to release 11 of them to Oman. But why? Well, we checked them out, and we think this is a good play. But what do you know that we don't know? Unless you've put internal bombs in them so they blow up when they reach Oman. How is this good for America? It looks like a joke.
Meanwhile, CNN's Harry Enten did a survey and asked people what their biggest memories of Trump were from prior administration. And apparently the January 6 event, only 5% of the people surveyed said that was their biggest memory of Trump. Now, this poll is ridiculous. So if you thought, oh, that's telling me something, the whole world has moved on, no. The question was, you know, what's the first thing you remember? And Trump is somebody who reminds you of a hundred things. So if you ask a poll and you say what's the biggest one and they don't pick January 6, I don't think that means they don't care about it. I mean, I don't think people do care about it that much, but I don't think this poll is useful. What's interesting is that CNN would feature it because it has the, I think it's a biased, absurd poll with no credibility whatsoever. But it's on CNN, and it's unambiguously pro-Trump, meaning that the country doesn't care about the thing that they've been reporting on for four years. The country doesn't care, was CNN's reporting, which would be consistent with their decline in ratings. So forget about the accuracy of the poll. Just look at the fact that it was on CNN at all. That's kind of interesting.
Apparently, speaking of pranking, the Biden Department of Justice is going to bring 200 more people up on charges for January 6. And not this January 6, the original. Now, the Gateway Pundit is reporting this. Why in the world would they do that? Don't they know that they're just going to be granted clemency or pardon? Like it just again, this one looks like, okay, that's a prank, right? That like you're not serious, are you? You're actually going to charge 200 more, spend all that money and all that time to ruin their lives when you know they're going to be released. How in the world does that make sense? Like none of it looks real. It just doesn't look like real people made these decisions. It looks like a bad dream or a prank or practical joke or something.
Well, one of the big fun stories today is that Mark Zuckerberg did a video in which he says he's going to radically change how Facebook is censoring. And he seems to have gone to full Trump. He said that the Trump election was sort of a cultural pivot point. So he starts out by saying directly that the mood of the country is very clearly MAGA-looking and that he wants to adapt to it. Now, these are my words, not his exact words, but very clearly he was saying we live in a world in which Trump won the majority, and Facebook would be better off as a company if it started to be more compatible with that point of view. Now, tha

t point of view is less censorship and better processes for the censorship. So he described what he's going to do, which is remarkable. Now, as I'm talking about this, I know exactly what you're going to be thinking. You're going to say to me, Scott, but what about all the terrible, terrible things he did in the past with Facebook, banning people and censoring and all that? Those are true things…
