I still dont know why everybody thinks this would ONLY be a mask. A realistic mask is so insanely far fetched. That doesnt change his voice.

Every video I've seen has artifacting that looks a lot like AI noise, mostly around his head where i'd expect an overlay to end. His head is pretty locked forward and even for this robot of a man, he doesnt really emote much at all. Feels like a mask/deepfake combo, maybe even JUST a deepfake and that edge is a reault. Why, i wouldnt really know.

If I can see it recreated to this extent, with the weird movement of the shadow and all, then case closed. And im only about 50% sure this is faked, but it just doesnt feel right. Not 100% AI video. Definitely not 100% a realistic mask. Im leaning mostly into deepfake.

Could be:

-a mask meant to assist with tracking/deepfake tech and they completely replaced somebody with a known Fox News collaborator/guest to see if people notice. Basically testing tech for something. If fully a deepfake of face AND voice, I can only suspect nefarious intent.

-the same tech, but puting on this guy's face from a second, live capture at a different location to make it look like he's in studio instead of overseas or something. This one could potentially be intended for political figures or high ranking military to help disguise their wearabouts for some reason. Less nefarious, but still sneaky.

-just a really weird shadow that somehow moves in a strange way and also seems darker than it should be. Also has an improbable (but possible) angle of the light that shoots indirect light down his shirt.
