All right, let's enter the group chat.

Ahmed Baba is here, author of ahmedbaba.news. Josh Tieringa, staff writer for The Atlantic, executive producer of the Insta Doc Series you must see on Netflix.

The latest episode, The Prediction Games, is a must-see.

But he is also the author of AI for Good.

If not, we certainly get it.

I want to bring in Ahmed Baba as well, who has been helping us to cover this story.

The information I'm getting is that we saw a reporter who was there this morning.

Welcome, Ahmed.

But we'll have to see.

He wants no smoke.

Welcome Ahmed Baba.

Thank you, Charles.

All right.

And now it is time for The Assignment Desk, and with me I have co-founder and president of Run For Something, Amanda Litman, founder of Ahmed Baba News on Substack and independent journalist, Ahmed Baba, Gen Z political commentator and founder of Mokler Media, Adam Mokler, and senior executive editor of Bloomberg Opinion and MS Now political analyst, Timothy O'Brien.

De Becker, who referred to Kennedy as his closest friend in the world to the Journal, was a major donor to his 2024 presidential campaign.

But here is the thing, Kennedy is no longer a candidate, he's a government official.

Amanda Litman, Ahmed Baba, Adam Mockler, and Tim O'Brien are still here at the table with me.

And Tim, I think you probably know I'm coming to you first on this.
