World Leaders Debate China, Nukes and Artificial Intelligence– Mo News Rundown

All right, everybody. It is Friday. Congratulations. Mazel tov. We made it. We have made it. It's May 19th, 2023. You're listening to the Mo News podcast. I'm Moshe Wannunu. And I'm Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts. And we read all the news and read the lines so you don't have to Jill, any fun weekend plans ahead? Certainly not as fun as yours birthday boy. Oh, yes. Thank you very much. Sunday, May 21st. We'll mark my birthday. Alex, my wife has planned a surprise for me that she hasn't told me about. So I'm looking forward to finding out what I have in store this weekend. It is not a surprise party unless, of course, I'm not included. I'll have a full recap for everybody on Monday as to what my birthday entails. Although she really blew it on the park last year for my 40th birthday this year for one. We're going to keep it low key, I think. What do I know? All right, let's get to the headlines. A historic G7 summit with President Biden and the leaders of the world's largest economies is underway. So what's on the agenda? Plus, Biden is saying hi and bye. Cutting his trip short to get home for debt ceiling negotiations. We'll have a status update on where things stand. The Supreme Court gave Google and Twitter and other social media platforms to really big wins when it comes to whether they can be held liable for content on their platforms. In Disneyverse DeSantis, Disney is now scrapping plans for a billion dollar Florida campus. The shocking number of older Americans who are skipping or delaying medications because of the cost. And this weekend, try listening to the birds. Ah, experts say your mental health will thank you. Plus, Moshe is on the stay in history. It's the 25th birthday, Jill, for one classic duet. The boy is mine with Brandi Mineco. And cheers to the freaking weekend, what we are watching, reading and eating this weekend. I guess birthday cakes in order, Moshe. That's my understanding that I'm a big ice cream person. So I've never been a big cake person, but you know, it's kind of standard offering procedure on your birthday. You've got to have a cake. But again, it's all surprise, Jill. It's all surprise. I'm very excited. All right, let's get to some news here. The G7 Summit is currently underway in Hiroshima, Japan. And there is a lot on the agenda. First off, the location itself is historic. It's the site of the world's first ever nuclear attack. As Reuters points out, the longest shadows at the summit will be cast by two countries that weren't even invited, China and Russia. So who is there? As a reminder, the G7 countries are the United States, Japan, Germany, the UK, France, Canada and Italy. India and Vietnam are reportedly attending this year as what's called observers. Some say the challenge here is to put their own differences aside to project a united front against China and Russia. President Biden reportedly looking for some type of unity when it comes to issues like Taiwan, the South China Sea and Beijing's aggressive economic practices. And when it comes to China, the world's second largest economy and what's known as the world's factory floor, there are a lot of divisions. Case in point, French president Emmanuel Macron visited Beijing just last month and actually called the European Union to reduce its dependence on the United States. So clearly all seven of these countries, not exactly on the same page here, China and Xi Jinping, by the way, kicking off their own summit at the same time as the G7. It is called the China Central Asia Summit. So China is hosting five Central Asian countries. They are five former Soviet republics, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Just a few of the stands there. According to the New York Times, the goal of that summit is to counter what it sees as a US dominated world order that is trying to contain and suppress China. Just as a reality check here with all due respect to the five stands meeting with China, the G7 is Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US. So as far as it's called the G7, it's the world's seven largest economies, minus China, of course. And so they still, regardless of what comes out of China this weekend, still going to be the dominant players in the global economy. We'll get more to the China thing in a second, but the big agenda item for the G7 the next couple of days will be Ukraine and they're expected counter offensive against Russia. That's expected to really get started here in the next couple of weeks. The leaders of the G7 plan to tighten sanctions even further on Russia, if there are more sanctions available to them, they are looking more at Russian energy exports. They're also expected to hear from Ukrainian presence Zelensky remotely to likely be asking for what he's been asking for for a while, which is even more weapons. So far the G7 countries are united on this. The question is, can they keep the momentum going? The British just delivered some advanced missiles to Ukraine and they're pledging to lead a coalition to provide the Ukrainians with F-16 fighter jets. The Germans just announced their biggest ever aid package to Ukraine, $3 billion worth of tanks and other equipment. The US Defense Department has announced another $1.2 billion package to bolster Ukraine. The big challenge though is, again, keeping this momentum going, economic resources are not unlimited. All of these countries face domestic pressures, inflation, economic issues, etc. And just some fatigue among their populations about how long this war will be going between Ukraine and Russia. The goal here is to provide Ukraine with enough weaponry to take back enough land in the counter-offensive so they can have some real leverage here in the peace talks with Russia. As far as the latest maps are concerned, it appears Russia still controls about 15% of Ukraine. And it's interesting here, as we talked about the G7, Gella, it wasn't long ago that this was the G8, which included Russia. They were suspended in 2014 after they invaded and annexed Crimea from Ukraine and then eventually Russia withdrew from the group. So it was the G8, then it became the G7. And now what was once an ally of theirs and a summit attendee sitting at the table is now effectively an enemy here. Beyond geopolitics, a big issue they'll be discussing is the artificial intelligence, how to handle that on a united global front, how to regulate it as we discussed on the podcast yesterday. The Europeans are really taking the lead on this. So expect to hear more from them on that. Jill, you also mentioned the location here, Hiroshima. It is significant, especially given what we've seen as far as nuclear weapons are concerned in the past couple of years. Putin, of course, has been very loose with his nuclear rhetoric, being very threatening with his nuclear weapons. China is building up its nuclear arsenal. North Korea has been testing its nuclear-capable missiles. Iran, of course, continues its own development of nuclear weapons. So this backdrop, not insignificant, is a reminder of what nuclear weapons can actually do. And you mentioned the China thing. It's not that far away the summit in Japan from China. And there are some real divides, because non-US countries are going to make a bet against the US, right? They want a hedge. And as they look ahead to the next century, typically, hegemon's global powers. They lead the world for a while, and then they go away, look at the British. And in this case, the US, the bet is from Europe that they can't put all their chips with the US, because at some point, the US won't be the world's hedge, at least that's the bet that they'll be making. And they do need to keep a relationship going with the Chinese. And so that is where things get a bit fishy, because you have the US and Japan that are pretty united on this. And the Europeans that, again, are more with the US, but still hedging their bet a bit. Mosh, it's also important to mention that Biden will be cutting his trip short. He is skipping a stop in Papua New Guinea, so that he can get back to the United States for debt ceiling negotiations. This is a big deal. Well, first of all, it would have been the first time that a US president visited that country. But he was also going to do that and then go to a big meeting in Australia. And all of this was part of his plan, again, to unite countries against China, particularly in that region of the world. He was asked about the debt ceiling and the deadline while he was overseas as of now that June 1st, or at least the first two weeks of June is still looking like the date at when the US could potentially default on its debt if a deal isn't reached. A lot on the line, experts say if the US defaults, it could have a devastating impact not just on the US economy, but that it would have ripple effects around the world. And two of the biggest holders of that debt, by the way, Japan and Britain were part of the G7 and will be there with Biden in Japan. Yeah, a reminder that about 75% of our debt is held domestically, but 25% of US debt, large economy in the world, is held internationally. The number one holder is Japan of US debt. And if the US defaults on debt, that's the US admitting that we're no good on our money, and that'll make it more difficult to borrow money in the future. And that's effectively how we grow this economy. So the debt limit is a very big deal. The negotiations are continuing between Republican House staffers and the White House. Congressional leaders signaled on Thursday that they may be inching closer to a solution, but they don't quite have one yet. And until there is a deal that they can guarantee passes, both Houses of Congress and the president will sign, there is no deal. But things seem to be going well enough where Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader, announced that they will be proceeding with their recess that started on Thursday. Of course, they miss a vacation. Well, they will tell you, Jill, that they have important work to do back in their home states and home districts. But yes, it is a criticism of Congress that they tend to have short org weeks in Washington. The thing right now, and the reason why I mentioned there's no deal until there's a deal, is both Speaker of the House McCarthy, the Republican, President Biden, Democrat, are facing pressure from the ends of their constituencies, from the left flank and the right flank. The Freedom Caucus, which is the right flank, that's the flank that gave McCarthy so many problems when he was trying to become Speaker in early January, they're actually demanding that he steps away from the negotiating table saying that the White House must abide by every single thing that they wanted, all the cuts they want. They don't want any compromise on anything. At the same time, you have Democrats on the left, Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren, some Sanders wrote a letter in the last 24 hours telling President Biden, you're giving up too much. Just get around the whole House Republicans. They are asking him to either invoke the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which has a provision related to the debt, but has never been tried before. The thing with what they're saying is, Mr. President, screw the Republicans in the House, do your own thing, or just cancel the debt ceiling altogether. It's a dumb rule. And don't concede anything to Republicans. So this is going to be key to watch that if there is a deal struck between McCarthy and Biden, will they be able to get each of their left flank and the right flank aboard to actually pass that deal? All right, on for our next story, the Supreme Court gave Silicon Valley two huge wins on Thursday, protecting them from lawsuits that some argued would upend the entire industry and the entire internet. I want to take a look at both cases. The first one is called Twitter versus Tamna. In this case, the American family of a Jordanian man that was killed in an ISIS attack back in 2017 in Istanbul. Well, they sued Twitter, claiming that social media companies, including Twitter, knowingly aided ISIS, which they argued is in violation of federal anti-terrorism laws, because the social media platforms hosted some of the group's content on their platforms. Even though there are policies that are in place to limit that type of content in a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court said that the lawsuit cannot go forward. Yes. So Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the decision here. Obviously, he's a conservative, but it was, as you say, a unanimous nine to zero decision. Conservatives and liberals all agreed that companies like Twitter should not be held liable for every single thing that is put on the platform. He wrote in part that it might be that bad actors like ISIS are able to use platforms like these for illegal and sometimes terrible ends, but the same could be said of cell phones, email, or the internet generally. Thomas stressed that the plaintiffs, in this case, the family, have failed to allege the defendants intentionally provided any substantial aid to the attack at issue, nor did they provasively and systemically assist ISIS in any way that would render them liable for every ISIS attack. Essentially, here, you saw the court, in this case, stand by the idea that these tech platforms cannot be held liable for all the content on their platform. This is a core idea at the beginning of the internet that the government should allow these companies leeway in order to allow the most amount of content on the platforms and allow these platforms to evolve and develop, et cetera. It's a core idea of section 230, which we'll get into in just a second here. That's right. The second case was Gonzalez versus Google. This one was dismissed by the court, which wrote that it was doing so, quote, in light of our decision in Twitter. So that leaves a lower court ruling intact that said that Google is immune from a lawsuit that accuses its YouTube platform of aiding and abetting terrorism. In this case, the family of Nohemi Gonzalez, a 23-year-old US citizen who was killed in a 2015 ISIS attack in Paris, they were suing Google. They said that YouTube, which is owned by Google, that their targeted recommendations violated a US anti-terrorism law by helping radicalized viewers and promote ISIS's agenda. Now, this isn't just about YouTube hosting the content. This one is actually about the algorithm that promotes those videos on its platform. So for example, the videos that YouTube will recommend to you based on what you've been searching for and watching already. So right now, that content is protected under section 230. This is a section of the law, which basically says social media companies are not responsible for the third-party content on their sites, because they're not involved in the creative process of actually shooting, editing, and producing those videos. But an attorney for the Gonzalez family had argued that YouTube presents thumbnail images and links to different videos that the YouTube algorithm thinks the person wants to watch. So even though the videos are created by the original user, the thumbnails are actually created by YouTube. So they shouldn't be protected under section 230. Again, it appears in this case, the court didn't buy that argument. In the Google guys, they didn't want to rule on it at all. They left it to the lower courts, citing their other ruling. Section 230 here, again, was developed in the mid-90s. It helped enable the rise of these social networks to ensure that they didn't assume any legal liability. And it's interesting, Jill, because the section 230, you'll often hear invoked and criticized by both parties, by Republicans who believe it allows the tech websites to censor things, and then by Democrats, who believe that section 230 makes them immune from dealing with misinformation on their platform. So each side has a criticism of section 230, hasn't done anything about it. In this case, it was they wanted to see what the courts would do about it. And it appears the Supreme Court is saying we out too. That's their official position. I mean, did you read the decision? That's what Clarissa is. That's how he ends. That's how he ends the decision by saying we out. No, no, no. But I mean, that's essentially the reading of the decision. We're happy to link to it on our Instagram account so you can read the full decision for yourself. But the bottom line is, this is where things stand. This is the laws that were set up in the 90s for the internet. This is something we spoke to yesterday about the AI rulings that some of these rules and this openness did benefit the internet, but it also meant that social media and other things basically had carte blanche to develop with no real ramifications. And obviously, we know the impact it has had in our world. So the question is, will something happen on section 230 in the coming years? Well, expect to hear more about on the campaign trail, especially it's something that Donald Trump and Republicans especially talk about. But it appears for now that it stands. All right, we've got plenty of news coming up. But first, a word from some of our sponsors. Let's start with bowl and branch.

All right, time now for the speed read from CNBC Disney abandoned plans to open up a new employee campus in Lake Nona, Florida amid rising tensions with the state's governor, Ron DeSantis. In a memo, Disney cited quote changing business conditions and the return of CEO Bob Iger. So this means the company will not be moving forward with construction of the campus and will no longer be asking more than 2,000 California-based employees to relocate to Florida. A lot of Disney employees had bought at the company's relocation plans when they were first announced in July of 2021 by former CEO Bob Chapick. The campus was originally slated to open this year but was delayed to 2026. Disney reiterating in its memo that the company is still planning to invest about $17 billion in Florida over the next 10 years, which includes adding about 13,000 jobs. The company, by the way, employs about 75,000 people in the state. Yeah, it's one of the largest employers in Florida. It's basically Disney and Publix for the Floridians that know that Publix is basically ubiquitous in the state. Disney's announcement does come amid that bitter feud with DeSantis, who we should know Jill appears he will be announcing a presidential run next week that came out of Fox News and several other outlets on Thursday. Back to the Disney thing, though, the company did file a lawsuit accusing DeSantis and the new board members of the new special district of carrying out a campaign of political retribution against the company. So we're going to watch that litigation as it goes. This all goes to Disney's original criticism, you know, vocal criticism, written criticism of the parental rights bill that's been called the Don't Say Gay Bill by critics last year. After Disney criticized it, that's when DeSantis took his revenge and took away some special treatment that the company has gotten for decades, put a new board in charge of political appointees. Disney pulled a fast one on DeSantis. We don't need to go through all the back and forth, but this is just the latest in the battle between the two. And again, expect to hear more about that on the campaign trail, because you have heard some Republicans, notably some of DeSantis's likely opponents, Nikki Haley, Donald Trump, criticized DeSantis here and take Disney's side, saying that that's not what Republicans do is go after businesses because they don't like what they have to say. So it will be interesting to see how Disney and the fight here plays a role in the 2024 election. Yeah, Nikki Haley went as far as to say, come on up to South Carolina. We'll take you. Which is unlikely. I think Disney World is safe in Orlando, but you know, you always got to make your offer and throw it out there. Maybe, maybe Disney Charleston or Disney Columbia or Disney Gaffney out of the neighbor's South Carolina town of choice. Maybe it's coming to you sometimes. All right, from Axios Uver is letting teens under 18 request and take rides on their own for the first time. A new teen accounts feature will let 13 to 17 year olds set up their own accounts as part of a family profile. Only quote experienced and highly rated drivers will be able to drive teens. Uver says that parents can track their kids' rides in real time, as well as call their driver. And drivers can also opt out of picking up teenagers if they so choose. They're a rowdy bunch, you know? I mean, it is a legitimate question. If there are certain drivers who are like, I do not want to be driving around a bunch of 14 year olds or 16 year olds, etc. Understandable. These teen accounts will be available soon in a handful of cities at Lana Columbus, Minneapolis. Also of note, teen accounts are also coming to Uver Eats. Until now, I mean, there's been a workaround teens have been able to use their parents Uver app to order both on Uver Eats and Ubers. But it appears they're extending this. Again, these are attached to their parents' accounts. And they have added a number of safety features, including in-car audio recording, which is something you can read up on, which effectively records the ride and makes that available. That's one thing here that can give parents peace of mind as their under 18 year olds take rides. And as far as the youngest kids, Uver is also expanding an option along parents and caretakers to request rides with a car seat. And that's going to be coming first to New York City and LA. Moshe, for anybody who listened to our Mother's Day podcast, they heard a tale of a young Jill Wagner who was never allowed to take cabs when I was a teen. And one of my and my friends. This is very much in the pre Uber era, pre smartphone era. Decades ago, when people would call cabs, and I was not allowed to take one, I did. And then my friend's younger brother basically ratted us out. But we had thought we were safe because we took with us a knife, not a regular knife, a butter knife. And we thought that this butter knife is going to protect us in some capacity. Well, I'm glad to have you here today, Jill. And I will, I'll credit the butter knife for getting you safe in that cab ride. From NBC News, a growing number of older adults say that they cannot afford their prescription medications. This is according to a study published Thursday in JAMA Network Open, about one in five adults, 65 and up, either skipped, delayed, took less medication than was prescribed, or took somebody else's medication last year because of concerns about costs. So that is up from one in seven people in 2016. And the authors attribute the increase to rising inflation and prescription drug costs, which are notoriously high compared to other countries of similar size and wealth. So Jill, here are some further numbers about 30% of older adults used a coupon to afford their medication, a quarter of the respondents asked a physician for a lower cost medication, and about one in five shops around in pharmacies to try to find a lower price. Nearly one in 10 respondents in this study said they actually went without basic needs, like gas or groceries, in order to afford their medication. And about 5% said they went into debt to get their medication. The study's authors said that more physicians should get comfortable speaking with their patients about whether they can afford their medication. That's an important thing for doctors to engage their patients on. One of the studies authors saying physicians worry that patients don't want to talk about it. But I think one way to normalize these conversations is just to ask people if they want to have them. From the Washington Post, if you're looking to improve your mental health, pay attention to birds. Two studies published last year in scientific reports said that seeing or hearing birds could be good for our mental well-being. All right, let's all give it a try for a few seconds. Okay, everybody feel better? Jill, I feel like I was in the middle of a rainforest just there. Well, research has consistently shown that more contact and interaction with nature. It's associated with better body and brain health. Birds appear to have specific healing benefits. They're almost everywhere and they provide a way to connect us to nature. And even if they're hidden in trees or an underbrush, we can still revel in their songs. An environmental neuroscience student says the special thing about bird songs is that even if people live in very urban environments and don't have a lot of contact with nature, they still link the songs of birds to vital and intact natural environments. It's a really good point because even in the city, you hear birds chirping. Recent research also suggests that listening to recordings of their songs, even through headphones, can alleviate negative emotions. We wake my daughter up actually every day on her sound machine. One of the options is bird chirping. And so we wake her up to birds every day. How's Alex reacting to that? She's like an issue like a bird in the morning? She's like, again? Well, hold on. Are you giving her like straight up rainforest birds? Are you giving her just like a subtle like, you know, one bird chirping? It's subtle birds and it actually starts out low and then eventually gets a little bit louder. Most of the time she gets up on her own to be totally honest. Listen, I'm gonna have to give this a try on like Mondays or Tuesdays, sometimes Wednesdays when I'm like burnt out or stressed or, you know, dreading the week. Maybe I need to take a moment to just literally listen to the birds. And I'll let everyone know how it goes. Apparently in one study, researchers asked 1,300 participants to collect information about their environment and well-being three times a day using a smartphone app called Urban Mind. The participants were not explicitly told that the researchers were looking at birds. The app was also collecting data about their sleep quality, air quality, and location details. But by analyzing the data, the researchers found a significant positive association between seeing or hearing birds and improved mental well-being, even when accounting for other explanations like education, occupation, the presence of greenery or water, which are some other things that have been associated with positive mental health. And apparently these benefits persisted well beyond the bird encounter, so to speak. If a participant reported seeing or hearing birds at one point, their mental well-being was higher on average hours later, even if they did not encounter birds at the next check-in. So these birds, they have an impact. Jill, I should add that my father for a while was very much into collecting finches, these like little birds. And for a while at his tool warehouse, he was breeding them. This is a project my father took on for a couple years in his mid-60s. Anyway, and so at one point, I think he had 60 or 70 finches and he was selling them online and there was a whole marketplace online of selling birds, buying birds, etc. And I was like, what is going on with you? And he's like, don't criticize this. This makes me genuinely happy. And now, Abba, if you're listening to this podcast edition, I just want to say I'm sorry. There's literally research data that backs up your argument. You were in fact right and you deserve those 60 or 70 finches. I should say he has no none today, but maybe he should get back into it. Most, there's this really funny meme that I saw that was like one day, you're wild and young and carefree. And then the next, you get really excited about seeing a bluebird flying past your window. And it's just like bird watching does just creep up on you. I didn't know where you're like into birds. All right, now time for on this day in history on this Friday, May 19th. This weekend in 1932, American aviator Amelia Earhart became the first woman to pilot an airplane solo across the Atlantic. She became a household name, people called her Lady Lindy. Then of course, just a few years later during an attempt to become the first woman to complete a circum navigational flight around the globe. In 1937, she disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean just three weeks actually before her 40th birthday investigations, public interest continued into her disappearance, though she was declared dead. And they still continue nearly 90 years later. All right, now time on this birthday weekend, Joe, there was an iconic happy birthday rendition that some of you may remember on this day 61 years ago. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Then of course, was Marilyn Monroe, the actress singing Happy Birthday to President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden in 1962. The rumor was, Joe, at the time, there's been various reports and biographies about this that she was having an affair with President Kennedy in the time leading up to that. At one point, there are also reports that she was having an affair with his brother Bobby Kennedy. But nonetheless, the happy birthday, Mr. President, iconic performance, and that that dress, I believe Kim Kardashian, wore that dress to one of the Met Galas recently, right? She did. And yes, certainly one of the most iconic happy birthdays in history. It's sad, though, we would lose her at such a young age. Actually, just a couple months after that rendition, she died later that summer of 62 from a drug overdose, just at the young age of 36. All right, fast forward. A happy fifth wedding anniversary to Prince Harry and actress Megan Markle on this day in 2018. They were married at Windsor Castle. I actually remember getting up early and watching that wedding. Oh, interesting. So not just the William Kate wedding, but you did get up for the Harry Megal Knight as well. I did. I did. Judge away, Moshe. Jill, I don't judge. I woke up early for the King's coronation just a couple weeks ago and a Saturday morning. All right, we're going to end, of course, as we typically do on this day with a bit of pop culture news, Jill, your favorite hit number one this weekend with the song. Jill on this day, 33 years ago, Madonna reached number one with Vogue. And one more 90s musical anniversary. We want to touch on today before we go. 25 years ago today, Jill, that was brandy in Monica releasing The Boy Is Mine. I feel like I remember watching the MTV video music awards. That was like a big, that was big summer 98. For VMAs, I had more think of Madonna and that kiss with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Yeah, Jill, a very memorable moment around that time. Though I'm just looking up here, the jams of summer 98. So the boy is mine, finished number one for the summer. But then you also had Shania Twain, you're still the one next too close, my way by Usher and All My Life by Casey and Jojo. And then also getting jiggy with it with Will Smith. So summer 98 was off the hook. I think that's the expression we were using back then. And Shania Twain, though, still going strong, she actually performed with Harry Styles. You're still the one at one of his concerts. Yeah, Shania is still performing. Ogetto Superstar of Summer 98. Great. Ben Boyce, Lynn Rockefeller, Skank. Backstreet Boys, everybody. Everybody. Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve. Wow, Summer 98, guys. Not bad. Oh, Intergalactic by Beastie Boys. Money Ain't A Thing by Jermaine Dupree. You get what you give by New Radicals. Oh my God, that used to play on a repeat. I used to work in Best Buy that summer. That is the CD that might be in my car. New Radicals, you get what you give? No, just a combo platter of all of those. Oh, wow. That's what I call music. Yes. This weekend, I promise I will get the CD out of the Wrangler. All right. That brings us the cheers to the freaking weekend. What we're watching, what we're eating and what we're reading this weekend. Take us off, Joel. Okay. So I can't believe I didn't mention this last week. I am watching air. It is finally streaming as of last week. This is the story, of course, of Nike shoe salesman, Sonny Viqueiro and how he led the company in the pursuit of Michael Jordan and how it totally revolutionized sneakers and the company directed by Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman's in it, Matt Damon. It's supposed to be amazing. You don't have to say it's supposed to be. I saw it in theaters. I thought it was great. And I think I recommended it on this. You did. You did. I'm like a monthly to the game. Thanks for getting with the program. Jill, I'm going to binge on a little bit of trash TV this weekend. Can I call it that? Selling sunsets out with a new season on Netflix. Speaking of no judgment, I have no judgment on TV. My friends used to say I had very highbrow and then lowbrow taste because I love all those types of reality shows. Well, no tougher transition than the following, Jill. What are you reading this weekend? Speaking of highbrow. Yes, I am reading The Daughter of Auschwitz. It is written by Tova Friedman and also a war reporter Malcolm Bray Vance. Tova is one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz. I actually heard her speak this week at a friend's house. There were tons of kids in the audience. They were captivated. They asked some really amazing questions afterward. I have audio of the event. I'm going to be turning it into a podcast on our feed. Moshe, you and I have talked about before. There are so few Holocaust survivors left. So if you have the chance to hear one speak in person, you got to do it. And then I thought, if I have the opportunity, I want to record it and at least put it out so that anyone who listens to our podcasts can check it out as well. Yeah, that's a great idea. And if those of you haven't heard back in February, for International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Jill interviewed a survivor. And so I'd highly recommend that if you head back in the feed to check that out. All right, Moshe, what are you reading? So I'm reading A Piece Right Now by Joanna Stern. She's the Wall Street Journal personal tech columnist. She has a piece out on the new Apple headset. And the question she asked is, can it be more than a nerd helmet? That's the big question with the metaverse, right? You know, all these like glasses, like Oculus that Facebook's been developing for years, spending billions of dollars on. Is virtual reality, augmented reality, the metaverse going to be a thing? Apple's getting the game and we know that Apple has had some success with a thing called the iPhone and its various innovations through the years. Can they do the same thing for virtual reality? Is the big question she asks, I happen to interview her this week and we'll be putting my conversation with Joanna Stern out on an upcoming podcast for everyone as well. That'll head to the premium feed in the next day or two. So if you haven't joined Mo News premium yet, we'll be making that conversation on all things AI, tech, social media available on that feed.

So I am really into pretzels right now, Jill, Hugh, the Seinfeld joke. These pretzels are making me thirsty. There she hasn't lost it, folks. We're really into these Quinn whole grain sea salt pretzels. They're like extra crunchy. I think we find them in Whole Foods anyway, not sponsored by Quinn's but really digging them lately. What are you eating this weekend? Let them eat cake. We're going to be eating some cake because also on this day, my parents got married. It is their anniversary. So happy anniversary mom and dad and there will definitely be some cake eating around my house or their house or wherever we celebrate. Can I ask what anniversary? You can, but I'm not sure. Like what is it? It's got to be like 40. It's not 50. Do the math. It's not 50, but it's very married before you were born. Yes. And I have an older brother. So it's high 40s. High 40s. Okay. Cool. My parents, their wedding anniversary there, it'll be their 44th is coming up in just a couple of weeks. Now I feel really bad that I don't know how many years, but I will ask them. It's fine. I actually, I think it's kind of a music. Okay. All right, everybody. All right, let's close. All right, let's close this. All right, let's shut this down before I lose. All right, let's shut this.
