An app that pays users for access to their phone call audio has surged to the top of Apple’s US App Store rankings, reflecting a growing willingness to exchange personal privacy for small financial rewards. Neon Mobile, which now ranks second in the Social Networking category, invites users to record their calls in exchange for cash. Those recordings are then sold to companies building artificial intelligence systems. The pitch is framed as a way to earn extra income, with Neon promising “hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year” to those who opt in. The business model is straightforward. Users are paid 30 cents per minute when they call other Neon users, and they can earn up to $30 a day for calls made to non-users. Referral bonuses are also on offer. Appfigures, a platform that tracks app performance, reported that Neon was ranked No. 476 in its category on September 18. Within days, it had entered the top 10 and eventually reached the No. 2 position for social apps. On the overall charts, it climbed as high as sixth place. Neon’s terms confirm that it records both incoming and outgoing calls. The company says it only captures the user’s side of a conversation unless both participants are using the app. These recordings are then sold to AI firms to assist in developing and refining machine learning systems, according to the company’s own policies. What’s being offered is not just a phone call service. It’s a pipeline for training AI with real human voices, and users are being asked to provide this data willingly. The high ranking of the app suggests that some are comfortable giving up personal conversations in return for small daily payouts. However, beneath the simple interface is a license agreement that gives Neon sweeping control over any recording submitted through the app. It reads: “Worldwide, exclusive, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free, fully paid right and license (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to sell, use, host, store, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform (including by means of a digital audio transmission), communicate to the public, reproduce, modify for the purpose of formatting for display, create derivative works as authorized in these Terms, and distribute your Recordings, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels, in each instance whether now known or hereafter developed.” This gives the company broad latitude to share, edit, sell, and repurpose user recordings in virtually any way, through any medium, with no expiration or limitations on scope. Users maintain copyright over their recordings, but that ownership is heavily constrained by the licensing terms. Although Neon claims to remove names, phone numbers, and email addresses before selling recordings, it does not reveal which companies receive the data or how it might be used after the fact. The risks go beyond marketing or analytics. Audio recordings could potentially be used for impersonation, scam calls, or to build synthetic voices that mimic real people. The app presents itself as an easy way to turn conversations into cash, but what it truly trades on is access to personal voice data. That trade-off may seem harmless at first, yet it opens the door to long-term consequences few users are likely to fully consider.

You Won't Believe What Serena Williams Finds Racist: Decorative Cotton Branches

Actress and comedian Leslie Jones swung by Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Thursday for one of her irregularly scheduled rants. This time, Jones, who is not exactly struggling financially, demanded other people pay her reparations and wondered why America hates black people. Jones kicked off her rant by discussing social media posts by President Trump about the Smithsonian that argued the museums were too negative and focused too much on slavery, “Honestly, honestly, I don’t think museums go far enough. If you don't leave an African American history museum weeping and wanting to give your closest black friends reparations, then they didn't do the museum right. And let me say this, by the way, 40 acres and a mule is not enough anymore. I want 40 acres and a trust fund, how about that? Matter of fact, throw in the mule if you want to. I need something to carry my money.”     Later in her tirade, she wondered, “I just need to know, why does America have so much hatred for black people? Is it because when you see black people, you are reminded of the sins of this country? Is it because my ass is too fat? Is it because people need a scapegoat for their own shortcomings? Or is it because my ass is too fat? Is it because you are afraid we are going to treat you like you treated us? And you know what? I know my ass is fat! Stop looking at my ass and listen to the words that are coming out my mouth!” Jones then continued her widespread condemnations, “I'm going to be honest, you know what I think? I honestly think everyone, not just white people, are uneducated. Not stupid. Just uneducated about black people. You've been fed false propaganda about black people since the beginning of time in books, music, TV, movies. That shit’s powerful. Even I fall for it sometimes. I saw X-Men and you know how long I believed Halle Berry controlled the weather? But apparently, it's the Jews. Oh, wait, wait, is that propaganda too? Damn, y'all are good! You all are so good at that shit!” She then tried to prove her point, “See, this is the stereotype that people have. A person talks a certain way or looks a certain way, and everyone wants to make assumptions. When we—when we just want to be treated like everybody else. What do you see when you see us? Do you see us less than human? Do you see us as animals? Why does this shit keep happening?” That led to a news clip of TV writer Alex O’Keefe claiming he was arrested because an elderly white woman didn’t like the way he was sitting on a Metro Transit Authority train. There are two important details there. First, O’Keefe was breaking the rules by occupying more than one seat, and when he was confronted by the police, his disorderliness caused a delay. Second, it might be reasonable to grant the premise that the woman was being a tattle-tale and should’ve left well enough alone. In that case, the woman was wearing a mask, and it is hard to claim that people still wearing masks are the stereotypical anti-woke Trump voters who share his concerns about the Smithsonian. Here is a transcript for the September 25 show: Comedy Central The Daily Show 9/25/2025 11:13 PM ET LESLIE JONES: Honestly, honestly, I don’t think museums go far enough.

One of the left's biggest beefs against Donald Trump has been his claim that the 2020 election was "rigged" against him. But when the left preemptively accuses Trump people of planning to "rig" the '26 midterms and even the '28 presidential election, well, that's different. Those warnings must be taken seriously. It doesn't matter that journalists warned for months that Trump would deny the 2024 election results. Oops... On Friday's Morning Joe, the self-impressed Joe Scarborough boasted that he has warned senior people in three or four presidential administrations to remember that they will not be in power forever, and will ultimately be held accountable for all their actions.  But Jonathan Lemire, who hosts the show's fourth hour, claimed that people in the Trump administration are unafraid of taking allegedly improper actions in the prosecution of James Comey because, unlike those warned by Scarborough that their hold on power will be temporary: "People around Trump think this won't be temporary, and they're taking steps. We should listen to some Democrats, Gavin Newsom, J.D. Pritzker, and the like, who think they're trying to rig things, set up situations around the midterms and maybe beyond in 2028, to ensure those elections are not free and fair. Therefore, they'd stay in power and not suffer the consequences."  Hilarious how Lemire cites as people whose warnings we should "listen to" about Trump's nefarious rigging plans are those utterly objective guys: Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker. After all, it's not as if they're hyper-partisan Democrats angling to run in '28! Note: Over the years, we've identified Danny Cevallos as MSNBC's most fair-and-balanced legal analyst. For example, in 2019, three years before the Dobbs decision, we noted Cevallos on Morning Joe saying that Roe v. Wade was "ripe to be overturned" because "even if you are pro-choice, the right to privacy [upon which Roe was based] does not exist either in the history or the text of the Constitution."  But on today's show, Cevallos offered perhaps the most stinging criticism of President Trump having pushed out of office the sitting US Attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, who had declined to prosecute Comey. Trump replaced him with Lindsey Halligan, a White House aide who had been Trump's personal lawyer in the case brought against him by Jack Smith regarding the handling of classified documents.  Cevallos described the situation as: "The new [Watergate era] Saturday Night Massacre. And for all the reasons that everyone's been talking about this morning, in my view, it may be worse." Firing a prosecutor is not a "massacre." But liberals love to exaggerate the actions of Republicans. Here's the transcript. MSNBC Morning Joe 9/26/25 6:14 am EDT JOE SCARBOROUGH: A Trump prosecutor said, no, I'm not going to bring this case. I'll quit before I bring this case. She couldn't get anybody to go in and help her yesterday try to get an indictment. Barbara Quade, it's pretty simple. And I talk about this all the time.  You know, there's so many people in Washington, D.C. And it's not just with the Trump administration. I've seen this for years. They get into the White House, or they get into the administration, and they think what's happening is going to last forever.  I will not name names, but I have told people running White Houses. One instance where a president was at the height of his popularity and I leaned over to one of his top aides and I said, you know, you're only renting this office. You know, you're going to be gone [snaps a finger] in a blink of an eye. People come in here, they think that they're here forever. They aren't.  And you have to be held accountable for everything you do in here. Never forget that. I've had that talk probably with three, four administrations through the years.  And you get a sense that the prosecutors that are refusing to take part in this understand there are lawyers who did what Donald Trump wanted them to do against their better wisdom, against their legal training, against the code of ethics, against legal norms, and they're disbarred now.  So, I wonder, I wonder if that's a lot of what was going on when you had Donald Trump's own prosecutor say, no, no, no, I'm out of here because I'm going to be held accountable either next year when the Democrats take over. or I'm going to be held accountable when a Democratic president's elected. I'm not going to bring a scam case because of Donald Trump's orders over Truth Social.  I wonder if they already understand the consequences are coming legally in terms of disbarment or even something worse down the road.  . . .  JONATHAN LEMIRE: I know we say a lot on this show, and Joe is right in terms of the temporary nature of being in power.  But I will say those people around Trump think this won't be temporary, and they're taking steps. We should listen to some Democrats, Gavin Newsom, J.D. Pritzker, and the like, who think they're trying to rig things, set up situations around the midterms and maybe beyond in 2028, to ensure those elections are not free and fair. Therefore, they'd stay in power and not suffer the consequences. 

ABC’s Good Morning America — helmed by co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos — was beside itself on Friday and enraged over Thursday’s indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, calling this a sign “norms...have been shattered” about an independent Department of Justice with “President Trump’s retribution campaign” having “reached a new and ominous level[.]” Stephanopoulos boomed from the onset in a tease about Trump’s “retribution campaign...at [his] political enemies.” He didn’t even allow banter with fill-in co-hosts Rebecca Jarvis and Deborah Roberts before launching into a seething mini-monologue:   Reminder that Stephanopoulos and Comey teamed up for a primetime ABC special on April 15, 2018. Naturally, Stephanopoulos pressed Comey from the left. Chief Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas solemnly followed: “The long-running battle between the two men who will soon play out in the courthouse behind me. Today, former FBI Director Comey is claiming he is the victim of a tyrant, and vowing to fight the charges.” He too lionized Comey:   Thomas also harped on Democrats joining them in their disgust and fretted possible probes of George Soros’s unholy alliance of far-left funding operations (click “expand”): THOMAS: Democratic lawmakers outraged. CONGRESSMAN JAMIE RASKIN (D-MD) [on MSNBC’s Inside with Jen Psaki, 09/26/25]: Well, it’s obviously an outrage, it is a scandal. And it does feel like a major lurch into further lawlessness in the country because it was Donald Trump’s own handpicked U.S. Attorney, Mr. Siebert, originally charged with investigating James Comey, and came back with the conclusion that there was not remotely enough evidence to prosecute for any offense. THOMAS: It comes as federal authorities target other perceived enemies of the president, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Senator Adam Schiff. And now we’re learning the Justice Department has targeted the group funded by billionaire Democratic donor George Soros, who the President has said should be put in jail. Sources telling ABC News top federal prosecutors from around the country received a letter this week from the Justice Department ordering them to investigate Soros’ philanthropic organization, the Open Society Foundations. It listed potential charges to consider that ranging from material support for terrorism, arson, wire fraud, and racketeering. But provided no evidence. A spokesman for Soros’s group defending their work as “peaceful and lawful,” calling DOJ’s move “politically motivated attacks on civil society meant to silence speech the administration disagrees with.” If convicted, Comey faces up to five years in prison, but it’s clear that Comey is ready to fight for his innocence and his reputation[.] Stephanopoulos regained control and pivoted to chief legal analyst Dan Abrams: “[T]his is pretty extraordinary what we’re seeing here. The President demanded a prosecution and he got it.” Abrams argued this was an uphill battle (click “expand”): ABRAMS: [L]ook, what seems like the facts are pretty amazing as well. It seems this is a case about whether James Comey authorized a leak by his deputy, Andrew McCabe, about Hilary Clinton and an investigation of the Clinton Foundation. Not a leak about Donald Trump. The inspector general at the Department of Justice investigated this and determined that it was James Comey who was likely telling the truth about what happened, and not Andrew McCabe. Comey said I didn’t authorize the leak. McCabe said he authorized the leak after the fact. McCabe actually was close to getting indicted for this by the first Trump administration because the Department of Justice inspector general had determined that McCabe likely lied. So, McCabe almost gets indicted in 2019 over this. They don’t — they’re not able to get the indictment. And now Comey is going to get indicted for the same conversation, which the inspector general believed Comey, and not McCabe — and by the way, even if you believe McCabe’s account, he is not saying that Comey knew about the leak before it happened. He’s talking about it after the fact. STEPHANOPOULOS: Except for the President’s personal attorney, every other prosecutor looked at this and said we don’t have the evidence. ABRAMS: So, she actually had to file this herself, very unusual that the U.S. Attorney doesn’t have one of the line prosecutors signing off on this, working on this. She had to literally alter herself, some of the language in court, which is very unusual. And it shows you that, at this point, she’s kind of in this on her own in this U.S. Attorney’s office. Virulently anti-Trump correspondent Rachel Scott was also disgusted Trump “campaigned on this idea of retribution, that he would go after his perceived political enemies.” Then came an unfortunate slip-up:   She went on by decrying Trump’s “extraordinary steps to make this idea of retribution a reality,” such as having “stripped security clearances from some top former and current national security officials...revoked Secret Service protections from some of his harshest critics, including John Bolton, former Vice President Kamala Harris, forced out federal prosecutors...and then, just days ago, the extraordinary and remarkable statement from the President publicly calling on his own attorney general, who represents an independent, impartial Justice Department, to not just go after Comey, but also to go after New York Attorney General Letitia James, to go after Democratic Senator Adam Schiff.” CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today were definitely alarmed and led with the Comey indictment, but weren’t ready to jump out a window. “The President demanding something for a while, the indictment of one of his most outspoken critics and he got it. Overnight, Trump’s Justice Department indicted former FBI Director James Comey, a dramatic escalation in the president's push against so-called enemies. In a video posted to social media Comey, meanwhile, maintains he's innocent and says, ‘Let’s have a trial,’” declared CBS co-host Tony Dokoupil. Legal analyst Christine Polisi was able to express her disagreement without flying off the rail (click “expand”): Crazy case. Just to start out with the strength of these charges. Look, the federal government in general has about a 90 percent success rate when it comes to obtaining a guilty charge after an indictment. There are unique characteristics of this case that make it a potential outlier, meaning I think the prosecutors may have an uphill battle here, not the least of which is the fact that this case has been languishing for five years. They got this indictment in just under the wire, the statute of limitations. This case has been run up and down the flagpole many times before, including as Scott noted there, the previous United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, apparently declined to prosecute this case because he didn't feel the evidence was there. Trump had to remove him, insert a personal attorney. She's the only one that signed this indictment. Very rare. So very rare. Never prosecuted a case. Very rare for a United States attorney herself to go into the grand jury to present that evidence and to sign that indictment. That said, CBS brought in far-left partisan Douglas Brinkley to weigh in since he’s a “presidential historian.” Following predictable comparisons of Trump to Richard Nixon and Andrew Jackson, he seethed about Trump’s “authoritarian bent”:   Shifting to Today, co-host Craig Melvin dubbed the indictment “a provocative move by the Justice Department” with senior legal correspondent Laura Jarrett — the daughter of Obama family confidante Valerie Jarrett — saying the indictment was “only two pages long, but the lead-up years in the making as the President demanded the prosecution of James Comey long before it was ever clear that prosecutors could actually make a criminal case.” “The extraordinary move posing a new stress test for the Justice Department forced to now defend these charges in court,” she added.

Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night “comedy” show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” was suspended all of six days before ABC caved to public pressure from the left and reinstated it.The network originally pulled the show because Kimmel made the following vile comment just six days after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was publicly assassinated while speaking on his college campus tour: “We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."He then went on to make fun of President Trump for his reaction to being asked how he was handling the death of his friend. “I think very good,” he said before quickly pivoting to discussing a White House ballroom renovation project.Liz explains, "When you are a public broadcast network ... ABC, or NBC, or CBS, you have a broadcast license. You're not a cable news network. You have a broadcast license from the federal government. It's issued by the FCC ... and part of the terms of your broadcast license is that you are to serve the public interest."But the left spun the narrative that the government strong-armed ABC to suspend the show because Kimmel criticized Donald Trump.Clearly they’ve forgotten that “he's been [mocking Donald Trump] on a nightly basis for the last decade” and has never been fired for it, says Liz Wheeler, BlazeTV host of “The Liz Wheeler Show.” “Jimmy Kimmel was not fired for making a joke at Donald Trump's expense. He wasn't even fired for mocking Charlie Kirk, as despicable as he is for doing that. … Jimmy Kimmel was fired for lying about Charlie Kirk's assassin,” she clarifies, noting that Kirk’s alleged murderer has been proven to be a radical leftist.Kimmel “lied and libeled half of the country,” says Liz.But that’s exactly what he’s expected to do. As part of the left-wing media apparatus, Kimmel is expected to broadcast “malicious, false vilification of everyone who dared to vote for Donald Trump.”This kind of hate-inspiring rhetoric is the entire reason Charlie Kirk is dead, says Liz.“Children, yes, like Tyler Robinson, are indoctrinated with violent, revolutionary, neo-Marxist ideology like transgenderism. This happens in schools from kindergarten all the way through college,” and “the mainstream media and voices like Jimmy Kimmel play a large, even an outsized, role in that kind of propaganda,” she explains.Whether it’s a teacher celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk or Kimmel’s slanderous lie that Robinson was MAGA and that Trump supporters are a violent gang, it is moral and necessary for them to lose their jobs.“It's not cancel culture; it's self-defense,” says Liz.To hear more of her commentary, watch the episode above.Want more from Liz Wheeler?To enjoy more of Liz’s based commentary, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
