This hearing was a monument to how public service has become so undesirable, no matter what branch of government you work in.

Because for a long time, these congressional hearings are just outrageous to watch.

People in search of these blockbuster moments created dynamic.

Do you want to get coffee with someone who's yelled the way Louis Gomer was yelling?

You know, no, you don't. How can you work with people when these moments come up where everyone tries to make a name for themselves?

John Ratcliffe was embarrassing.

This is Sarah. This is Beth. You're listening to Pantsyp politics. The home of Grace filled political conversations.

Hello everyone. Welcome to our Friday episode. And thank you for the many beautiful messages of support and care and love and encouragement that you've sent to both of us for a variety of reasons over the last week.

We could not be more touched by this community and we're so grateful for you.

Today as promised, we are going to get into Bob Mueller's testimony.

But first, Sarah, I want to just briefly chat with you about deep fake videos.

Did you listen to the newsworthy with our friend, Erica, Mandy?

She was talking about how deep fake videos are made. And these aren't videos like the Nancy Pelosi one, which was slowed down so significantly.

There were actual artificial intelligence is used to create something that looks real and isn't.

And it is concerning, especially for those of us who are watching years and years, which should be all of us. I'm just going to put in that plug again.

Yeah. I had just listened to, I think it was an article I'd read about how they're concerned with this happening to CEOs too, with like not just videos but deep fake audio where they take their voices and like call people and are like,

I'm going to need you to clear out that bank account and send it to me in a personal check, but it sounds like the CEO.

So I was really excited to see this interview and listen to it because between years and years and that article, and I'd heard about this before.

And I've seen, I mean, you can see some of the deep fake they've made with all the footage of Obama.

It is bananas. It's bananas. And it's really scary. I think it's really scary.

I mean, look at the democratic field and think about how what a big deal this presidential race is going to be and how disruptive those deep fake videos could be, especially in the hands of foreign adversary, which is a good transition when we're ready to talk to Bumble.

It is in this interview, which I really recommend. It's very short and digestible. Erica asks about what can we do to be on guard about these deep fake videos.
