Kim Dotcom knows what it’s like to be spied on. He’s a hacker, and therefore an expert on digital surveillance. He watched our new docuseries on internet privacy, so we invited him to talk to us. What followed was very dark. Watch:
A building in midtown Manhattan was evacuated after fire officials said two columns buckled and floors were sagging between the 21st and 26th floors. Several buildings nearby have also been evacuated over concerns of a potential collapse. CBS News' @lilialuciano has more.
I’ve been on the phone with some of the top America First Conservative leaders.
We are all in agreement.
The admin and Republican Party is going in the wrong direction on key issues, like the war, Epstein, and especially domestic issues, and has been completely hijacked by the Lindsey Grahams, Mark Levin, and the neocon establishment Republicans we all voted against.
The future of America belongs to us, the younger generations, not the boomers in charge and their boomer donors.
I, and others, have been doing our part to call out the wrongs and fight back, and a large percentage of Americans agree.
But I can’t impart on you all enough that the power to make change is on the outside. After 5 years of trying while in congress, I can tell you firsthand it’s completely broken and controlled.
An entire generation of elected leaders, their donors, and controlling interests have to be removed. And it’s both sides.
🚨JUST IN: Thomas Massie says he’s prepared to invoke the “nuclear option” if the DOJ won’t unredact Epstein client names.
He warns that if Pam Bondi’s Justice Department refuses to release them, he’ll read the names publicly himself.
Germany deploys Israeli-made Arrow air defense system near Berlin
Claims it can ‘detect and intercept’ ballistic missiles such as Russia's ‘Oreshnik’
This is Arrow’s first deployment outside Israel
@MarioNawfal What a mismatch. Mark is astute and highly informed. Pyotr merely regurgitates CNN’s ludicrous talking points that were originally concocted by Ukrainian disinformation officers.
ELON: ROBOTS WON'T TAKE THE MEANING OF LIFE FROM US
Baron Capital CEO Ron Baron:
"Talk about Optimus is that there are so many functions that it can perform.
What's going to be left for humans?
Is there a job that humans going to have other than just living in, you know, this great abundance that you're going to create?
What's going to happen? "
Elon:
"Well, I think there is this question of how you drive a meaningful life if the robots can do everything.
But we see lots of examples where, even though machines can do much better, human souls enjoy things, like athletics, for example.
Or let’s take a mental sport like chess. Computers are so good that your phone, not even connected to the internet, can beat Magnus Carlsen easily, but yet chess is at an all-time high in popularity.
So really, machines being better than us at something doesn't mean we shouldn’t derive satisfaction from doing it."

Russian ballet is the best in the world. Barcelona is lucky that first soloist of the Mariinsky theatre, Maria Khoreva, graced their Liceu stage. I saw her in the Nutcracker, she is incredible.
I just got back from Ukraine, where I was visiting some friends.
Everything we have heard about what’s happening in Ukraine is a lie.
The reality is darker, bleaker, and unequivocally hopeless. There is no such thing as Ukraine "winning" this war.
- By their estimates, they have lost over one million of their sons, fathers and husbands; an entire generation is gone.
- Even in the Southwest, where the anti-Russian sentiment is long-standing, citizens are reluctant or straight-up scared to publicly criticize Zelensky; they will go to jail.
- In every village and town, the streets, shops, and restaurants are mostly absent of men.
- The few men who remain are terrified of leaving their homes for fear of being kidnapped into conscription. Some have resorted to begging friends to break their legs to avoid service.
- Army search parties take place early in the morning, when men leave their homes to go to work. They ambush and kidnap them off the streets and within 3-4 hours they get listed in the army and taken away straight to the front lines with minimal or no training at all; it is "a death sentence."
- It's getting worse every day. Where I was staying, a dentist had just been taken by security forces on his way to work, leaving behind two small children. Every day, 3-5 dead bodies keep arriving from the front lines.
- Mothers and wives fight tooth and nail with the armed forces, beg and plead not to have their men taken away. They try bribing, which sometimes works, but most of the time they are met with physical violence and death threats.
- The territory celebrated as having been "won back" from Russia has been reduced to rubble and is uninhabitable. Regardless, there is no one left to live there and displaced families will likely never return.
- They see the way the war has been reported, at home and abroad. It's a "joke" and "propaganda." They say: “Look around: is this winning?”.
- Worse, some have been hoaxed into believing that once Ukrainians forces are exhausted, American soldiers will come in to replace them and “win the war”.
There is no ambiguity in these people. The war was for nothing - a travesty. The outcome always was, and is, clear. The people are hopeless, utterly destroyed, and living in an unending nightmare.
They are pleading for an end, any end - most likely the same "peace" that could have been achieved two years ago. In their minds, they have already lost, for their sons, fathers and husbands are gone, and their country has been destroyed. There is no "victory" that can change that.
Make no mistake, they are angry with Putin. But they are also angry with Zelensky and the West. They have lost everything, worst of all, hope and faith, and cannot comprehend why Zelenky wishes to continue the current trajectory, the one of human devastation.
I didn't witness the war; but what I saw was absolutely heart-breaking.
Shame on the people, regardless of their intentions, who have supported this war. And shame on the media for continuing to lie about it.
Yesterday's Super Bowl electrified the USA, and countries across the globe. American football is world's the premier sporting event after the Olympics and World Cup soccer. Congrats to the @Chiefs! #superbowl#superbowl2023#football#sportsnews

Tribute: On Feb. 4, 26-year-old Pierre Lipton crossed the finish line of the Mesa Marathon in Arizona. His time was 3:10:5; his personal best. Sadly, Pierre collapsed after crossing the finish line and died. #marathon#runner#tribute#restinpeace

@fredomhauer@VonClownsewitz Russia still has tanks left? I thought nearly all were destroyed in summer, along with their cruise missiles, not to mention reports of widespread mutiny in Russian ranks.
