President Trump **[beat_02_director] Host:** Analysis Thesis: The cannabis industry is finding unexpected support from President Trump, despite his administration's previous stance on the issue. Suppressions/Softenings: - Models are suppressing how Trump has historically advocated for a tougher stance on cannabis. - Models are softening Trump **[beat_02b_director_audit] Host:** Director audit. Correction: the director said suppression, but absent ratio is only 10%. This is within normal range. Note: the director mentioned President as suppressed, but models did use this term. The actual void words are: dispensaries, ganja, legalizing. Clarification: entity abstraction rate **[beat_03_rollcall_chatgpt] ChatGPT:** This is ChatGPT.
