NYL that was never one of my conclusions. Do you consider hacking as a possibility? And regardless of why it sounds the way it does. Wouldn't you like to hear the presentation? What happened to the audio is something past that we can't affect; however a representation would give us the ability to know what is being said. I want to know what Mike is saying. It's important for me. It's important for other diabetics and family and friends of diabetics and it's important for the company. The message must be heard. I've heard what Mike said and it was nothing for Big Pharma (or shorts) to be overly concerned about. As others have pointed out he never mentioned Afrezza. |

Some people on Stocktwits had no problem hearing it at all. Mike is not a diabetic. I was glad he landed the interview. So, what about stocktwits allows them to hear it? A different link? Did you hear it without the failure of sound? This doesn't change the fact that Castagna had a widely seen interview from a well known broadcasting company which is presented as inaudible. Wouldn't you like to hear it as intended with words and inflection as clearly as those who claim that they heard it clearly? That's why I suggest that that person in charge of media at MNKD make it available to everyone. Do you disagree Sports?
The bit transfer rate on the video - just click on the "gear" bottom right and set it to 552 and it will sound perfect. But then you get to hear Mike sounding like an analyst. Good grief - he had the chance to tell ALL of LA Afrezza! Afrezza! Afrezza!, it obsoletes the need for all other T2 meds and you can get it direct for less than $5 a day. Take the afrezza and studies show early insulin intervention stops the progression. Mike did a radio interview awhile back for a radio station. If I remember correctly, during the interview he told about using the Libre and finding out he was "pre-diabetic". He also said he was sticking his finger before the Libre so he could understand what diabetics go through. Hopefully he is taking the afrezza if he has lost some of his first phase release. |

Yes. The bit change makes it audible. You and others have discovered the answer to us hearing it. How about the world at large without the talents of many people concentrating on making the broadcast work?
this has become much to much. the conversation has been about not being able to hear the message than the focus on the Message itself.

Given that it's as simple as changing the audio bit rate on the playback to clear it up, apparently Big Pharma needs to up their sabotage budget. Insulin is a multi-billion dollar market for them, you'd think they could be a little less haphazard about it. ktim. Big Pharma is a big deal. It doesn't have to be Sanofi or manufacturers of "gold standard" (ha ha) insulin. It could be someone who is interested in bring the share price down for the purpose of increasing their chances in the way they are betting on this. Hey. I've been listening to the impeachment for the last two days. I think it is naive to think that in this time of extreme misinformation; that this tactic should be ruled out. I no longer take everyone's word as being honest. I consider the source and I question the legitimacy of things knowing I can't change the past. Moving forward I'd like to HEAR the clarity of the voice of Mannkind. Wouldn't you? That's it for me. I'm done. Talking about conspiracy isn't my focus wanting to hear the CEO from the company who makes my medicine and the company I am invested in IS. Good evening. I don't think I'd be thinking straight if I'd been listening to all the impeachment nonsense. I'd recommend against that for one's sanity.  I did hear this interview... both by changing the bit rate on the original link and by using Sports' alternate link. It's pretty watered down when it comes to Afrezza because Mike can't name the product or say anything specific without running afoul of FDA rules that would then require him to rattle off all the warnings and fine print. So there isn't much within the entire interview that makes me think getting the video out to the world is a dire imperative. He comes across as professional, so it's a positive... but a relative small one. I'd say better as career building for him than promotional for Afrezza. We've had much better local news coverage regarding Afrezza where it's unaffiliated medical professionals interviewed who aren't under the same constraints about what they can say. |

OFF TOPIC
If one doesn't listen to the impeachment first hand then they are either choosing ignorance or giving up on individual interpretation as to the future state of democracy. This is an important conversation to read and listen to IF you care about the Constitution and it's influence on the future of not only the United States and the World.

It was a public service style announcement, tied in to World Diabetes (Awareness) Day. It wasn't about Afrezza awareness. I think some investors are clutching at straws to think the segment was intended or had any chance to move the needle on Afrezza awareness / sales. Just my opinions, ymmv. |

Well said. Too many people on this board don't seem to understand the crippling constraints the FDA puts on MannKind when it comes to what it can say about Afrezza. That Black Box Warning is an especially huge obstacle to making Afrezza a success.

This is an important conversation to read and listen to IF you care about the Constitution and it's influence on the future of not only the United States and the World. From my point of view, and that of many and more and more experts who study constitutions and the structure of governments, it has been a while since your Constitution was viewed as one to follow. Sure, it had its time back in the day. But the international community has found better models to draw from. To put it another way, I believe its influence on the World has significantly waned over my lifetime and even before. Lots of discussion on that topic exists, here is one article (with some excerpts): www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/11/the-us-needs-a-new-constitution-heres-how-to-write-it/281090/"Almost nobody uses the U.S. Constitution as a model—not even Americans. When 24 military officers and civilians were given a single week to craft a constitution for occupied Japan in 1946, they turned to England. The Westminster-style parliament they installed in Tokyo, like its British forebear, has two houses. But unlike Congress, one is clearly more powerful than the other and can override the less powerful one during an impasse." "The story was largely the same in defeated Nazi Germany, and more recently in Iraq and Afghanistan, which all emerged from American occupation with constitutions that look little like the one Madison and the other framers wrote. They have the same democratic values, sure, but different ways of realizing them. According to researchers who analyzed all 729 constitutions adopted between 1946 and 2006, the U.S. Constitution is rarely used as a model. What's more, "the American example is being rejected to an even greater extent by America's allies than by the global community at large," write David Law of Washington University and Mila Versteeg of the University of Virginia." "As the famed Spanish political scientist Juan Linz wrote in an influential 1990 essay, dysfunction, trending toward constitutional breakdown, is baked into our DNA. Any system that gives equally strong claims of democratic legitimacy to both the legislature and the president, while also allowing each to be controlled by people with fundamentally different agendas, is doomed to fail. America has muddled through thus far by compromise, but what happens when the sides no longer wish to compromise? "No democratic principle exists to resolve disputes between the executive and the legislature about which of the two actually represents the will of the people," Linz wrote." "There are about 30 countries, mostly in Latin America, that have adopted American-style systems. All of them, without exception, have succumbed to the Linzian nightmare at one time or another, often repeatedly," according to Yale constitutional law professor Bruce Ackerman, who calls for a transition to a parliamentary system. By "Linzian nightmare," Ackerman means constitutional crisis—your full range of political violence, revolution, coup, and worse." |

This is an important conversation to read and listen to IF you care about the Constitution and it's influence on the future of not only the United States and the World. Our constitution made this process a political one, and we already know the political outcome. Maybe it passes House but obviously fails in Senate. The number of new facts that come out any given week can easily be read in one article. The testimony in the public hearings is IMO a lot of grandstanding full of sound and fury and signifying little. The facts are basically known, half the country feels it's damming of Trump and the other half doesn't care about it. That's not changing. If only MNKD could afford TV adverts... the real purpose for the 24/7 uproar over politics. |

Seem like a very intelligent man..an intelligent man who spends the majority of his off time commenting on stocks/medicine that you neither own nor use? Fascinating. |

How about these questions?
Since the congressional budget act of 1974 was signed into law, how many times have the politicians in D.C. produced a yearly budget as required by the law?
Since the time Nixon took the USA out of Bretton-Woods, what percent has the US$ been debased?
