Yeah, some offensive memes and, you know, me telling my wife to get an extra gallon of milk at the grocery store.

I mean, you know, luckily I'm a pretty boring guy, so I don't think that they got really anything.

That's nice.

We'll find out.

Yeah, that's right.

That's right.

Well, it also, I mean, it's apparently they couldn't get the encrypted messages that were sent.

So I'm pretty careful about, like, making sure I use Signal and iMessage and all that stuff.

That's great.

So, I mean, look, maybe they got some stuff.

We'll find out eventually.

I try not to worry too much about shit I can't control.

But one thing that came up, by the way, in that and I'll go back to your question is about the grid.

One thing that came up in that is the way that they hacked.

And it was also President Trump's phone, apparently, too.

The way that they hacked our phones is they used the backdoor telecom infrastructure that had been developed in the wake of the Patriot Act.

And this is something that I think should be a much bigger part of the controversy over the Patriot Act is when the Patriot Act was passed, like AT&T, Verizon, they had to build all of these systems so that if somebody got a FISA warrant and could hack into a particular phone, the infrastructure actually existed.

What I've been told is

Is that that infrastructure was used by this Chinese hacker organization called Salt Typhoon.

And that's how they got into the Verizon network.
