Leah Feiger: I do just like the nostalgic contact. I miss my Motorola Razr. I miss it each single day. Maybe not the very same capabilities, but it surely does the trick.
Brian Barrett: It’s humorous. It’s. Think about your Motorola Razr, but it surely opens aspect to aspect as a substitute of up and down, and it is all one huge display, so there is not any buttons to push. You possibly can’t do T9 texting. Then you possibly can watch YouTube on it.
Leah Feiger: I am ready, truthfully, for the primary story to drop from the quiet automobile of the Acela between DC and New York the place somebody, some candy particular person from the administration, didn’t notice how huge that display is while you unfold it and what number of messages are seen.
Brian Barrett: Oh, it should be nice.
Leah Feiger: It is going to be, that is the brand new frontier for eavesdropping. Additionally, congratulations, Apple. However for me, that is what I am wanting ahead to.
Brian Barrett: Leah, what would it not take to get you to buy a foldable cellphone?
Leah Feiger: It must be quite a bit lower than $2,000.

Leah Feiger: So our subsequent matter entails the US Census Bureau, which positively not as shiny or theoretically life-threatening as our earlier subjects, however actually, actually necessary. Final month, the bureau published a report that claimed to uncover proof backing up President Donald Trump’s claims that noncitizen voting price him the 2020 election. He touted the report on True Social saying, “I gained the election.” That is, as you realize, we have talked about this many instances, one in every of Trump’s favourite conspiracy theories. He can’t let it go. And WIRED reporters, Vittoria Elliott and David Gilbert, dug into how this particular report truly obtained made, who wrote it, they usually found quite a lot of holes with this. I type of need to begin by saying, in case you’re listening to me and considering, why do I care a few US Census Bureau report? They simply do the census. They inform me how many individuals reside in all of those totally different areas, how huge households are, et cetera, et cetera. You are not 100% unsuitable, however that is actually necessary knowledge. These are experiences about individuals and their lives, and the common citizen should not need to know that a lot about it, however due to the state of affairs we’re in with the present administration, understanding these bizarre little intricacies of what is going on on in authorities, I feel has been actually key to understanding the total image right here.
Brian Barrett: Additionally, to be clear, I do care.
Leah Feiger: You do care. There we go. All proper. Can I run you thru a number of the fast down and soiled stuff, Brian, with what the report stated?
