1. A good sober look at the relationship between the US and Canada - and the rest of the world.

What trump (perhaps on behalf of putin, thiel, etc) is doing is forcing us to isolationism.

Go Canada!

Just a personal observation: I'd far prefer to see a written transcript of her monologue. Her visual volatility is somewhat distracting.

4. I was just going to say the same thing. The tonality is very monochromatic.

3. This doesn't look real. It looks like an AI deepfake. Notice the lack of sound synchronization. Who's the source?

I've tried to check on this but can't find anything. Thought I'd post this vid so we can see the difference...

start at 2:20, where she notes that AI deepfakes are out and about ...

Might be an AI fake but it is the kind of thing she has said and as far as I know is saying. Clues are how the 1944 is rendered as "one thousand nine hundred 44" and similarly in more than one place. The other odd thing was referring to Trudeau a few times.

I don't like AI fakes, but I don't think this one is false. Is it a reading from her blog?

Her blog seems to indicate it is a fake. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/did-rachel-really-say-n1172526

My advice: leave it up. You've warned viewers, I've confirmed, but even under those circumstances it rings true. As far as I can tell, the facts are true and the meaning is true.
