All right.

Welcome to our Thursday night Q&A.

And yes, we are doing it on Friday night.

We're not going to change the name of the show. Every single time we have to move this segment from one day to another. It's the Thursday night Q&A. I've gotten used to it. I hope you have as well. As you can probably see, we are in what will be our new studio. We're actually testing it. This is the debut episode where we're kind of test driving it. We were going to do it last night. And the reason we didn't was because there were just a few more technical issues that we had to resolve as happens with these new studios. I have no doubt that all sorts of people have very strong opinions one way or the other about the new studio. I do think it's important to admit. Just admit. It's okay to admit that it's very beautiful. It's extremely well done. I know lots of audio nerds and video nerds have all kinds of little nitpicky things, which we are thrilled to hear, like genuinely. I mean, I'm not necessarily thrilled to hear, but the people who I work with, my colleagues on my team are going to be thrilled to hear that and see what they can do to make it better. We're also going to play around a little bit with the background and other things. We're just getting started. So, yeah, this is the new studio that I have here. We have another studio that I'll use occasionally as well, which is the one I, as you know, I have a little small farm for some animals. We built the studio there. So it'll vary back and forth. These should be the two studios we use from now on. As you can see, it kind of as a continuity for those of you watch system update on Rumble from the design that we had there. In fact, some of the things are from that studio. Just to give a little continuity. I obviously chose this kind of color palette and this kind of vibe for the system update show

because I like it. So I continue to like it. And we just made some modification and we'll continue

to do so as we go on. All right, enough of all that. We're not here for having discussions

about the studio. We're here to actually answer the very insightful and provocative questions from our

substack subscribers.

As always, if you're watching here on YouTube or Rumble or wherever other than substack,

please go and follow our work on substack.

You can become a subscriber.

And if you do, those are the people who submit the questions each week that we

then end up addressing, comments, critiques sometimes as well. And you can just follow our work there

as well as unpaid subscriber. That's where I do most of the written work. And we use that as the

foundation for the reporting I'm doing. All right. Let's get into these questions. There's actually

a lot to talk about. It's been a pretty interesting and busy news week with some issues that I do want to address.

So let's begin with a question from Nietzsche fan who asked this.

I get that planter, Graham Planter, the main Democrat who's likely to be the nominee for Senate, to challenge Susan Collins, has a sketchy history.

I do get that. He honestly doesn't seem like the most stable human being, but I don't have to vote for him.

So I guess I'm just curious, what's the reason for these New York Times-led stories?

Quote, several women who dated Graham Plantner recall, quote, unsettling behavior.

Why is this news? Are we supposed to pretend that ex-girlfriends have
