## About this episode

Former FBI Director James Comey released a seven-page opening statement detailing President Donald Trump's alleged demands for personal loyalty and requests to drop the Mike Flynn investigation. The document describes a series of private dinners and meetings that the President characterizes as a cloud over his administration. This testimony has ignited a media firestorm with outlets like CNN and MSNBC predicting immediate impeachment proceedings while the Dow Jones remains stable.

Secondary developments include the arrest of NSA contractor Reality Winner for leaking classified documents to The Intercept, a move potentially traced via yellow dot printer tracking and her personal Gmail usage. In London, Mayor Sadiq Khan faces scrutiny from Piers Morgan over the monitoring of 400 returning jihadis following the London Bridge attack by Khurram Butt. Meanwhile, California Governor Jerry Brown met with Chinese President Xi Jinping to negotiate independent climate policy, raising questions regarding potential Logan Act violations. The pharmaceutical industry also faces legal pressure as Ohio sues five major companies over the escalating opioid crisis and fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills.

Technical glitches during the recording led to a live troubleshooting session of Skype's new real-time voice-to-text transcription features. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak explore the history of voice recognition from the Learnout & Hauspie Ponzi scheme to Microsoft's current integration. The show concludes with a look at Apple's HomePod announcement and the branding of machine learning as the latest industry buzzword.
