I looked at that picture and I was like, "That looks funny. He looks like he had
00:00:02
a facelift." Everyone looks at the picture and is where is his thumb? The conspiracy theories. Is it really an AI?
00:00:08
Is it AI generated? Like it really just Nobody believes anything. And even the believable stuff is unbelievable if that
00:00:16
makes sense. >> Well, I think it's fake. I'm going to be clear. I'm part of the tin foil. I think
00:00:19
it's fake. >> I don't know. I literally was like texted Harvey Leven and said, "The
00:00:23
republic is up to you to get in that hospital room and get us a real video of something." Well,
00:00:28
>> let me just ask you an honest question. that would require any semblance of logic. Given the tomal, given the doubt,
00:00:33
given the power, if he just recorded not even a video, a 10second voice memo, >> it's gone too far. There's always a
00:00:41
group of people that are going to be conspiracy theorists and kind of nutty, but really normal people are like, "Is
00:00:47
this real? What? Why can't they just do the right thing and like show up in a video, like come out physically, like
00:00:54
just wheel the old man out and look at him?" It creates this sort of disbelief in our system that it's really starting
00:01:00
to get really irritating on many levels. And I think that picture is sus. Sorry,
00:01:04
I agree with you, Scott. It's very sus. It's a sus picture, even if it's partially real.
