comes. Go.

Ah, I feel so bad for the people who missed this. Don't you? A little bit? A little bit of guilt?

Well, let's talk about all the things. Possibly my favorite story of the day. You might not have heard this yet. Apparently the BBC, and in this context the BBC refers to the British Broadcasting Corporation. If you thought BBC meant something else, well, you've been spending a little bit too much time on the wrong websites. Or the right websites. I'm not going to make a judgment. But anyway, the BBC, the one that does news, has apologized for airing an interview with someone posing as Senator Booker.

Is that perfect? So apparently some imposter called up saying he was Senator Booker, Cory Booker, and did an entire interview on the BBC. Now here's my first question. Was the interview by the fake Cory Booker better or worse than the real Cory Booker? Because what is missing from the story is all the crazy stuff that the imposter said. What if the imposter was just as good as the original? What if they couldn't tell? Do we need an original if the imposter does just as well?

I suppose we do. Yes. And the joke is I am not Spartacus. Sometimes, sometimes you think I'm Spartacus but I'm not actually Spartacus. Maybe he's Spartacus. Definitely not me. I'm not Spartacus. But that guy looks a little Spartacus-y if you know what I'm talking about. Go talk to him.

So what happens now? This was a radio interview, I should have mentioned that. So it was audio only, so it's easier to fake. But what happens when somebody can make a deep fake that just mimics their own mouth motions? So you think you're calling in on a Zoom to do an interview or something and somebody just puts up a fake. How far are we from an entire fake video answering interview questions? Now it would require a real person behind the scenes. I'm not talking about AI. But AI pretty soon too, right? Pretty soon. Twenty years. It's going to take longer for an AI to look exactly like a human in terms of how it acts. But maybe not twenty. Maybe ten.

I've noticed a difference in my trolls. My trolls are very, very different lately. These days my trolls come in and they blame me publicly on Twitter, usually for not criticizing Trump on some topic that I did criticize Trump. So it's not like I haven't criticized him. But all of my trolls are coming in and saying, why didn't you say something when Trump was putting kids in cages? To which I say, I did. I did. And why didn't you say something when Trump wasn't doing all the right things in the pandemic? To which I say, I did. I did. I did do that.

So I've completely run out of trolls. Can somebody put out the word that I'm under-trolled? It's just not the same. I don't want people who agree with me trying to troll me. Can I get somebody who disagrees? Please, just somebody who disagrees with me. Could you troll me? Anybody? Just somebody who's got a different opinion. I miss you. I miss you, the good trolls.

Well, Texas and Mississippi are leading the way. And I'm going to give Texas the big credit here. So the governor has said, Governor Abbott has said Texas is going to open up. Every business is allowed to open. Of course the businesses can decide on their own, but they're allowed to open. And there is no state mandate for masks.

Now does saying there is no state mandate for masks mean that everybody will stop wearing masks? No, no it doesn't mean that. Do y
