Travis: 2 b on PCLOB, must be nominated by President, confirmed by Senate, then Commissioned (actual piece of paper with WH seal on it). But then some random person could just fire through an email. #SOTN2025

#SOTN2025 questions from audience. "How can we make the EO on not pressuring websites to take own content permanent." This is great example of how things go from conspiracy, to Jim Jordan, to "substantiated."

Pearlmutter: We got 10K responses to inquiry. No, we did not use AI to analyze them.
Increase in Deep Fake because AI makes it cheap and easy. How do we deal with this? First report analyzed existing state law and found it insufficient. Pushed for Congress to create new law. #SOTN2025

Brian (cutting to the chase): So what was it like being fired by Trump?
Travis: Well, a lot of other people have now had that experience.

Obernolte: Also support "incrementalism" because it is all so fast moving no legislation can capture it all.

Travis: Very hard to stand up in meeting with WH counsel, Attorney General, and intelligence community and disagree/hold ground on matters of principle. Even harder if you are there alone w/no other Commissioners to support you.
