Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1417 Scott Adams： Join Me Today For Something That Feels Better Than Warm Socks From the Dryer on a Winter Day

00:00:00.840 It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:03.840 Always the best time of the day.

00:00:07.100 And today, a very special treat.

00:00:10.280 I'm going to solve a problem that, well, you've seen me struggle with,

00:00:13.760 and a number of people have also struggled with it,

00:00:16.620 and I'll walk you through it today.

00:00:19.660 But first, what would you like to do first?

00:00:23.260 Could it be the simultaneous sip?

00:00:25.080 Because if it is, all you need is a cup, a mug, a glass, a tank, a gel, a stein,

00:00:30.920 a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:35.000 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:37.360 I like coffee.

00:00:39.020 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:41.840 to open me at the end of the day,

00:00:43.660 the thing that makes, yeah, everything better.

00:00:46.760 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:50.660 So, as you know, live streaming is a big deal now,

00:01:01.760 and Zoom conference calls are a big deal.

00:01:04.740 And a lot of people say,

00:01:05.940 what is the best way to get good audio on your live stream,

00:01:11.560 or YouTube, or Zoom call?

00:01:13.620 And I've been doing years of research,

00:01:16.780 and I can walk you through it.

00:01:18.100 Now, what you want to have is a nice and substantial microphone,

00:01:23.800 the kind that will look good on camera.

00:01:25.840 You know, you don't want a little weird-looking thing.

00:01:28.120 You want something nice and substantial.

00:01:30.700 You want it to have a stand that is flexible and gives you the right height,

00:01:35.280 and you want to be able to plug that directly into the most common devices you would use,

00:01:40.800 your laptop, or perhaps an iPad, or a phone.

00:01:45.440 So, that's the things you want.

00:01:46.940 Now, nobody makes a product anything like that,

00:01:52.460 so I'll tell you what your options are.

00:01:54.780 And we'll start with the microphone stand.

00:01:58.160 There are a number of microphone stands you can buy,

00:02:01.000 and I'll just walk you through the options.

00:02:03.180 You'll see this one.

00:02:04.000 It's a broken microphone stand.

00:02:08.380 Now, usually you don't buy these pre-broken.

00:02:12.400 You have to use it for 5, 10 minutes before it breaks,

00:02:17.640 and then you've got what's called a broken microphone stand.

00:02:21.340 And I've owned maybe 10 to 15 of these over the years,

00:02:26.900 and they're quite reliable.

00:02:29.180 5, 10 minutes in, bam, piece falls off,

00:02:31.880 and then you've got yourself a microphone stand that doesn't really do anything.

00:02:36.720 So, this is actually one of the most popular types of microphone stands,

00:02:41.660 and I think you'll see a lot of those around.

00:02:43.300 Now, another popular kind is this.

00:02:51.160 And you can see that this is really probably the kind you see the most, I think.

00:02:58.680 It's called a stand that's all loose and doesn't really work together,

00:03:03.420 and things fall off.

00:03:04.600 And if you try to tighten them, they don't really tighten.

00:03:07.720 And there's always one part that you can't actually screw in.

00:03:11.920 So, this kind of stand is what's called a completely useless stand. 0.89

00:03:18.120 It's like a drunk trying to juggle. 0.66

00:03:22.560 So, this one will simply make you very, very angry.

00:03:26.020 But you'll see this a lot.

00:03:27.160 It's a very common kind of a stand.

00:03:29.560 Here's another one.

00:03:30.560 And I, just so you know, I've used almost every kind of microphone stand over the years.

00:03:38.280 This one is called the microphone stand that doesn't actually hold the microphone.

00:03:43.480 It's basically, if you put anything in there, it's not really going to work.

00:03:48.180 So, this is very popular.

00:03:50.180 The kind of microphone stand that isn't strong enough to hold any kind of a microphone still.

00:03:56.800 You can get those.

00:03:58.500 Very popular.

00:03:59.240 Here's one of my favorites, and also very popular.

00:04:07.700 This one is called the microphone stand that is designed to make you hate yourself,

00:04:15.220 all microphones, live streaming, and much of the creative world.

00:04:21.460 And it's built so that the slightest touch will knock it over.

00:04:25.120 Because when you're building a device to hold something valuable, because these can be expensive,

00:04:31.200 you want it to be the sort of thing that just the slightest touch will knock it over.

00:04:35.260 Such as somebody trying to relocate their laptop, and it moves just a little bit and falls over.

00:04:42.100 So, this microphone was not pre-broken.

00:04:46.280 I had to use it for five minutes before I did that.

00:04:49.500 So, this is very popular.

00:04:51.760 Another kind is the microphone stand that you can never figure out quite how to get the microphone and the little thing here working.

00:05:04.500 And if you did, it would fall over or something.

00:05:10.640 And it never works twice the same way.

00:05:12.960 But in any case, these are only meant to hold microphones that you wouldn't want to be seen with.

00:05:21.020 So, let's compare two microphones. 0.96

00:05:24.680 Here's a, look at this one, nice studio quality, solid looking microphone.

00:05:32.360 You'd be proud to have something like this in front of your face.

00:05:36.880 So, wouldn't it be great if you could find some kind of a stand that you could put this on,

00:05:41.480 or an articulated arm or something that actually worked two or three times in a row.

00:05:47.480 But instead, you have something that looks like maybe your children should be using it,

00:05:52.040 and you wouldn't want that anywhere near you.

00:05:53.780 Now, here's a microphone that comes with various settings.

00:06:00.900 These settings are very important, because some microphones don't have any settings.

00:06:06.580 This gives you one, two, three, four.

00:06:10.240 This gives you three ways to be wrong for every one way that you might have the right setting.

00:06:16.600 So, also, you wouldn't want to look at this for very long.

00:06:20.860 Here's a beautiful microphone.

00:06:22.640 One, a Sennheiser.

00:06:24.860 Sennheiser.

00:06:25.600 And this has very unique features.

00:06:29.660 One of the features is it takes a battery.

00:06:33.160 So, not only do you have all the usual ways for things not to work, but now you have a battery that could also not be charged.

00:06:44.140 So, that adds to your failure possibility.

00:06:47.200 But, you say to yourself, well, that's not a problem, because you would just look at the indicator to know how much charge you need.

00:06:55.620 And the indicator light comes on, you'll see that, well, then it goes right off.

00:07:01.080 But, when you turn it on, you can see there's an indicator light, so that you know that there's, that the battery is still good, because the, okay, you can't tell if there's any battery life in it.

00:07:12.220 So, you're just sort of guessing before you do your live stream, but very popular.

00:07:16.460 And it's also got some more settings that you can have on the wrong place.

00:07:21.060 It's very good.

00:07:21.700 Now, if you're worried about compatibility, there are a number of adapters.

00:07:27.020 For example, you could get this thing, that I don't know what it does exactly, but it's some kind of an adapter.

00:07:34.320 You could also get one of these, which you stick something into it, and then something comes out the other side, and then it does something.

00:07:44.820 It doesn't say what.

00:07:46.200 It's an adapter, a multi-track, something about the latency, maybe phantom power, something like that.

00:07:57.180 We don't know which microphones need that, but then also you want to get one of these, which is a cloud microphone cloud lifter,

00:08:07.380 because lots of times your sound will need sort of a cloud lift to it.

00:08:13.920 So, if your sound feels like you don't have enough cloud liftiness to it, you can put it through one of these,

00:08:21.180 and then come out the other side, and it'll be very cloud lifted.

00:08:26.200 Then you can phantom power it, run it through your Saramonic, and I think that'll get you pretty good sound,

00:08:34.560 but not unless you run it through your adapter that goes to the other adapter.

00:08:38.440 And then you might need one of these things.

00:08:43.140 I mean, I don't know what it is, but you might need one.

00:08:45.960 And then there are these other adapters, too.

00:08:49.220 Now, if you get a microphone stand like this, you'll have a number of different adjustments.

00:08:55.700 This one, I think, has three or four different things that could adjust,

00:09:00.400 which means that two out of three would actually work,

00:09:03.000 and then the third one would be something that doesn't close far enough to actually hold your microphone.

00:09:09.300 So, if none of those work, then you've got something like this,

00:09:14.280 which is a little mixing board, a Rodecaster,

00:09:16.960 and look at all the holes.

00:09:20.000 There's, like, all kinds of things that you could be sticking in there

00:09:25.100 if you knew what to stick in there.

00:09:32.740 All right.

00:09:33.500 Well, it'll probably take a little work.

00:09:37.260 So, as you can see, a lot of people would be intimidated by the complexity of this,

00:09:46.400 but don't be intimidated by it.

00:09:48.200 It's as simple as it looks.

00:09:49.480 So, if you wanted to have a great-looking microphone on a nice, dependable, solid base

00:09:59.760 that's simply plugged into your laptop or your iPad,

00:10:06.100 that feels like something somebody should invent

00:10:09.560 because it doesn't exist in any form whatsoever.

00:10:13.460 But I'll be doing a little more experimenting with this today,

00:10:18.800 and I'll let you know how it goes.

00:10:22.940 Let's talk about Joe Biden.

00:10:25.680 Oh, don't tell me it is invented.

00:10:28.620 Don't tell me that, because I know what you're going to do.

00:10:31.580 You're going to say, it's totally invented.

00:10:34.500 Here it is.

00:10:35.760 Here it is, Scott.

00:10:37.340 Here it is.

00:10:38.320 It's totally invented.

00:10:39.240 This just very easily attaches to one of these, 1.00

00:10:44.120 and then, if you weren't an idiot, 1.00

00:10:45.820 you would just attach this to one of those, 1.00

00:10:48.940 run it through the phantom power, through the...

00:10:52.520 Yeah, it's all invented. 0.98

00:10:54.180 It's not fucking invented. 0.92

00:10:55.720 Nobody makes a product that does this. 0.97

00:11:00.280 I've got years of research into this.

00:11:02.520 Trust me.

00:11:03.260 Nobody makes this product.

00:11:05.360 Don't tell me they do.

00:11:07.400 All right.

00:11:07.740 Slow Joe Biden said the following,

00:11:12.880 and I'm going to try to say it the way Joe Biden said it.

00:11:17.600 Those who say the blood of liberty,

00:11:20.680 the blood of patriots, you know,

00:11:23.680 and all this stuff about how we're going to have to move against the government,

00:11:28.700 well, the tree of liberty is not watered with the blood of patriots.

00:11:33.000 What's happened is that there's never been,

00:11:36.400 if you want to think you need weapons to take on the government,

00:11:40.740 you need F-15s, maybe some nuclear weapons.

00:11:44.340 The point is, there's always been the ability to limit,

00:11:47.280 rationally, limit the types of weapons that can be owned and who can own it.

00:11:50.920 So here, Joe Biden is telling us that for somebody to have any hope of moving against the government,

00:12:02.920 they would need heavy weapons like F-15s and nuclear weapons.

00:12:07.640 At the same time, Joe Biden would have us believe that a man in a Viking hat almost conquered the United States

00:12:16.980 by briefly wandering through one of its buildings.

00:12:20.060 So, I feel as if there's an inconsistency.

00:12:25.780 Either you do need F-15s and nuclear weapons to overtake a country,

00:12:31.140 or you can do it with selfies and whatever you can carry,

00:12:38.500 like a club and some bear spray.

00:12:42.240 One of those two things is more true than the other,

00:12:45.560 but we're not here to solve that today.

00:12:48.040 In other news, L.A. County's sheriff, I read this in Breitbart,

00:12:56.040 Joel Pollack wrote about this,

00:12:57.660 L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanova calls for a state of emergency on the homeless crisis.

00:13:03.300 I guess there are 80,000 homeless.

00:13:05.720 I think that's just a California number, actually.

00:13:08.320 80,000.

00:13:10.180 And I guess calling for a state of emergency is something that Dr. Drew had called for back in 2019.

00:13:16.040 So, maybe this idea is finally working its way through the system.

00:13:21.580 But I think you're going to need that state of emergency to actually force people to do whatever they need to do to get better.

00:13:28.580 Unfortunately, it's going to be treating 80,000 people like Britney Spears, essentially. 1.00

00:13:37.800 Basically.

00:13:39.500 Too far?

00:13:41.240 Was that too far?

00:13:42.520 Connected?

00:13:43.640 Connected to the wrong things?

00:13:45.580 But basically, it's 80,000 Britney Spears.

00:13:48.320 People who we think are not really making the right decisions and maybe need a little help.

00:13:53.720 And as much as we'd like these people to have their complete freedom, maybe they're not ready.

00:14:02.420 Maybe they don't have what it takes.

00:14:05.360 Rudy Giuliani lost his, I guess he's going to lose his license to practice law.

00:14:13.000 Or already has.

00:14:14.060 And he's accused of lying too much and too often about the election.

00:14:21.260 And I ask myself, have lawyers never lied in public before?

00:14:26.440 Are you telling me that if a lawyer intentionally lies in public, they can have their license yanked?

00:14:36.300 Have you ever watched CNN?

00:14:37.920 CNN is an entire network devoted almost entirely to lawyers lying intentionally.

00:14:49.860 They're commenting on the news usually.

00:14:52.560 But all you have to do is turn on the television and it's nothing but lying lawyers.

00:14:58.240 And you're telling me that Rudy Giuliani is the one?

00:15:01.320 The one who lied more?

00:15:03.160 How much exactly is the right amount of lying that you stay under the bar of, you know, everybody noticing?

00:15:11.500 The bar, huh?

00:15:12.780 And how much is too much lying?

00:15:15.960 Who gets to decide that Rudy Giuliani's lies are a little bit worse than whatever the hell you're hearing every day on CNN?

00:15:24.260 Aren't they lawyers too?

00:15:25.880 Half of them?

00:15:28.340 They've at least gone to law school.

00:15:30.400 A lot of them.

00:15:31.260 So, anyway, you may notice that I'm not talking about the horrific building collapse in Florida.

00:15:40.680 And it's only because I don't have anything to add to it.

00:15:43.520 The tragedy, unfortunately, speaks for itself.

00:15:48.340 And since I don't have anything to add to it, I'm not going to drag you through it because you're going to see plenty of it today on all the networks.

00:15:54.740 And I don't feel that it needs any extra for me.

00:15:58.800 It's a tragedy, and we're going to think about the victims.

00:16:02.200 But we'll leave that to the other networks.

00:16:04.420 Have I told you, too often, that you can do a poll about any topic, and 25% of the people who answer the poll will just be whacked?

00:16:16.540 And it doesn't matter the topic.

00:16:19.840 Here's another one.

00:16:21.160 Rasmussen finds that 56% of American adults think it is, quote, unfair to make women compete against transgender athletes.

00:16:32.180 I hasten to note that these are not my words.

00:16:37.480 Because I'm pretty sure the way you're supposed to say this is that people think it's unfair for transgender athletes to compete on women's teams.

00:16:49.420 Does that sound better?

00:16:50.620 Because then you're allowing that they're all women. 1.00

00:16:52.360 So that would be the correct way to say that, I believe.

00:16:58.640 All right.

00:17:01.120 But 25% think that such competition is fair.

00:17:06.180 Now, no matter whether you think it should happen or not happen, is fairness really a standard that we can apply to this?

00:17:14.820 Because the entire idea of sports is unfairness, right?

00:17:19.760 Every team has people of wildly different abilities.

00:17:24.260 You know, Michael Jordan on any team is going to be wildly different.

00:17:28.820 So who thinks it's fair?

00:17:33.240 And what does fair mean in this context?

00:17:37.100 So I think you can get 25% of any of the people to say anything is unfair in general.

00:17:43.940 So you just assume that's always going to be the case.

00:17:45.880 Now, I ask you this.

00:17:47.740 Does it matter that a solid majority of American adults don't think transgender athletes should be able to play on women's teams?

00:17:58.160 What do you think of that?

00:18:00.520 Should majority rule in a case where the main question is bigotry, right?

00:18:06.640 So the real question is, are people being treated equally, you know, under the law and morally and ethically and all that?

00:18:16.040 And that's the one situation where majority shouldn't really make a difference.

00:18:22.420 A lot of things I would say, well, if the majority want it, that's fine.

00:18:26.600 But the one thing you shouldn't let that happen with is anything that's in the realm of bigotry, right?

00:18:33.980 That is the one situation in which maybe the minority should make the decision, if they're making the decision for, you know, more equal treatment of people.

00:18:44.960 Now, I know it's more than that.

00:18:48.080 It's more than a question of bigotry.

00:18:51.060 It's also what's fair, what's access, you know, what's fair to women, blah, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

00:18:57.040 So I'm not going to make an argument about it except to say you can get 24% of people to agree to say anything, basically.

00:19:04.320 Ron DeSantis continues to be the smartest Republican politician.

00:19:15.760 And he's making it look easy, isn't he?

00:19:19.500 So here's another one.

00:19:21.480 And when I say he's being smart, I mean, if he plans to run for president and if he wants to get nominated by his party,

00:19:28.820 he just keeps doing all the right stuff to get nominated, you know, independent of whether you think these are good things to do to get nominated.

00:19:39.640 These are just golden, every one of them.

00:19:41.580 Here's a new one.

00:19:42.820 He signed the he's signing a bill requiring the Florida campuses to do these periodic surveys on people's opinions.

00:19:55.060 And I guess political points of view, just different points of view.

00:19:59.580 So he's making sure that they have diversity of thought in the campuses and schools in Florida.

00:20:07.220 Now, that is so perfectly exactly what Republicans and conservatives talk about.

00:20:14.380 Hey, the real diversity should be diversity of thought.

00:20:17.820 So here, DeSantis finds an actual practical way to measure diversity of thought.

00:20:26.360 Now, I guess we don't know what he's going to do with it, you know, once they can know if that diversity of thought is there or not.

00:20:32.440 But presumably, he's protecting conservative thought and teachings.

00:20:39.900 And I don't know if this is a good idea, right?

00:20:42.940 It feels like maybe it's got as many problems as it has upsides.

00:20:50.140 So even if you're sort of in favor of, you know, diversity of thought, and most of us would be, I think.

00:20:57.560 Even if you're in favor of that, it's not clear that this gets it to you.

00:21:01.840 You know, maybe it's just a little more bureaucracy we don't need.

00:21:04.360 But politically, if you're just talking politically, the people who support him, Republicans and conservatives, they like this idea, and he's doing something about it.

00:21:19.880 If it works, that's great.

00:21:22.580 If it doesn't work, well, maybe you try something else.

00:21:25.140 But at least he's doing something.

00:21:27.160 Yeah, this is one of the things that Trump was good at.

00:21:30.560 At least he'd do something, even if you didn't think it was going to work.

00:21:34.360 Doing nothing wasn't a good idea.

00:21:37.400 So just do something.

00:21:38.600 If it doesn't work, we'll try something else.

00:21:40.920 So on that level, he's definitely doing the right thing because he's trying something.

00:21:46.260 I'm not so sure it'll work.

00:21:48.260 Or we'll see.

00:21:50.600 So I guess Kamala Harris is finally going to the border. 0.99

00:21:53.760 And the Republicans have set her up perfectly.

00:21:57.240 Because they've been mocking her for so long and tracking how many days since she had not visited the border, since she got the job of being in charge of the, at least the, the, I think she's more in charge of the other countries besides Mexico sending people our way.

00:22:17.120 So she's trying to stop it at the source.

00:22:19.360 But of course, it's a, it's a border related thing.

00:22:22.800 So she's finally going to go there.

00:22:24.360 And of course, the Republicans will claim the only reason she's going is because they put pressure on her. 0.98

00:22:30.600 Now, maybe that's true.

00:22:33.660 Of course, it'll deny it.

00:22:35.400 But it does sort of look like the only reason she's going is because they put pressure on her.

00:22:39.940 I don't know if that's true.

00:22:41.720 But it looks exactly like it.

00:22:43.760 It's one of the main things that's in the news.

00:22:46.640 And maybe they just said, well, let's just make that go away.

00:22:49.940 We'll, we'll visit finally.

00:22:52.440 All right.

00:22:52.780 Um, and she had only recently dismissed visiting the border as quote, a grand gesture.

00:23:01.820 So it's a grand gesture, meaning she mocked it, but she's going to go do a grand gesture because I guess she got, she has to.

00:23:09.820 Did you see the news that apparently there's an infrastructure bipartisan bill compromise and Biden says he'll sign it.

00:23:18.700 So, so we're all done, right?

00:23:20.280 We finally got that, uh, compromise infrastructure bill.

00:23:26.660 Well, it still has to pass, right?

00:23:30.040 And AOC has already ripped it apart.

00:23:32.920 You know, I told you yesterday before it was announced that there was this big breakthrough compromise.

00:23:37.760 I told you there wasn't going to be a deal.

00:23:41.240 Now, I hope I'm wrong.

00:23:43.500 And it would be great if something like this compromise deal or, or some version of it gets through.

00:23:48.700 But I feel like it's not going to.

00:23:52.300 I feel like it's going to die in Congress.

00:23:56.440 It just won't get the votes.

00:23:58.540 So, um, let's track my prediction that the Congress will be too incompetent to pass something that has bipartisan and presidential support.

00:24:09.780 Well, I don't think they're going to be able to do it because the AOCs of the world will say it's not enough and maybe they'll just have to give up on this version.

00:24:19.180 So, uh, nobody in the world is terribly concerned about being consistent.

00:24:27.040 Have you noticed that?

00:24:28.640 That there's something about famous people that makes them just completely abandon trying to be consistent with any opinion.

00:24:37.520 It's just sort of, uh, you know, they'll take whatever side at the moment.

00:24:41.720 It makes sense.

00:24:42.360 So, here's a perfect example of this.

00:24:44.580 So, ESPN's, uh, Jalen Rose said that the inclusion of Kevin Love, who you need to know is a white basketball player, on the U.S. Olympic team, is a case of tokenism.

00:24:57.660 Because Kevin Love didn't have a good year.

00:25:00.260 And including him just looks like they're including him because he'd be the only white guy.

00:25:05.300 And so, this is how Jalen Rose put it.

00:25:10.820 He said, I'm disappointed in Team USA for not having the courage to send an all-black team to the Olympics.

00:25:20.400 What?

00:25:21.880 What?

00:25:23.460 Haven't we just spent the last, I don't know, few hundred years agreeing that we should have diversity everywhere?

00:25:32.440 I thought that was sort of a big, important message.

00:25:37.540 But apparently when it comes down to a basketball team, we don't need that diversity.

00:25:43.300 Now, I'm not taking a side, by the way.

00:25:44.720 I'm just pointing out, how can it be that we need diversity except when, uh, one of the teams is all black? 1.00

00:25:53.800 I feel like you need to let that one go, right?

00:25:57.280 Now, my personal opinion is you send the best players.

00:26:02.440 And it looks like, you know, I think Jalen Rose is making a, uh, sounds like a reasonable point that based on statistics and anything else, they're not sending the best players.

00:26:13.040 But, if you're okay with it in this context, you probably need to be okay with it in other contexts.

00:26:21.700 Or not be okay with it in this context.

00:26:24.700 You sort of have to pick, right?

00:26:27.460 Am I wrong?

00:26:28.780 Could you ever be consistent in saying, well, everything else needs to be diverse, but not this thing?

00:26:34.800 Would that be, is there any way to, to justify that opinion?

00:26:40.920 I don't know.

00:26:42.580 So, uh, a federal judge has ruled that Joe Biden is a racist.

00:26:47.400 Did you see that headline?

00:26:50.240 I bet you didn't.

00:26:52.300 Yeah, it's true.

00:26:53.420 A federal judge has ruled that Joe Biden is a racist.

00:26:56.200 Now, they don't use those words.

00:27:00.440 I'm, I'm interpreting.

00:27:02.460 But let me tell you what the interpretation is.

00:27:05.620 So, uh, federal judge, uh, Marcia Morales. 0.97

00:27:10.720 Howard.

00:27:12.080 So, she has a preliminary injunction against, uh, Joe Biden's plan.

00:27:16.600 So, it's Joe Biden's plan.

00:27:18.000 So, if Joe Biden's plan is racist, then I am justified in saying that a federal judge found him to be racist.

00:27:28.440 He had a plan to offer loan forgiveness to black and other minority farmers, but not to indebted white farmers.

00:27:35.780 And I guess the judge said it was an attempt to address discrimination while practicing discrimination.

00:27:41.260 And therefore, a federal judge ruled that Joe Biden is a racist.

00:27:48.880 Too far?

00:27:50.600 Am I over-interpreting it?

00:27:52.620 Because the federal judge did say it would be an attempt to address discrimination while practicing discrimination.

00:28:01.240 And it's Joe Biden's plan.

00:28:04.060 And the federal judge said that it would practice discrimination, which is racist in this context, because the discrimination would be racial.

00:28:13.900 Right?

00:28:14.540 So, while it is true that no court has found, no court has found, massive, widespread election abuse or cheating or fraud,

00:28:27.100 And therefore, we can claim that it does not exist, because no court has found it to be true.

00:28:33.980 But if federal court has ruled that Joe Biden is a racist, I'm not, this is not a stretch, is it?

00:28:42.700 Am I saying something that is not technically, and as well as technically, commonsensically, literally true?

00:28:52.740 That a federal judge just found Joe Biden to be a racist.

00:28:57.400 What's it mean to be a racist?

00:28:59.120 It means that you want different rules for people of different color.

00:29:02.240 That's what it means.

00:29:03.720 And the judge just ruled.

00:29:04.800 That's what you're doing.

00:29:07.560 It's not even my opinion now.

00:29:09.280 It's just the court has ruled on it.

00:29:11.720 So can't we just say he's a racist because the court ruled on it?

00:29:15.360 And am I the first person to...

00:29:17.360 I haven't seen anybody on social media point this out.

00:29:22.440 Feels like a big deal to me.

00:29:24.060 That a federal court has ruled that a president is a racist.

00:29:29.680 Now, I wonder if that happened to...

00:29:32.220 Probably happened to Trump as well, didn't it?

00:29:36.040 I think it did happen to Trump as well.

00:29:38.940 But at least we'd be consistent if we cheat in the same way.

00:29:44.100 So the building disaster that's falling down in Florida

00:29:47.300 is sucking up a lot of the headlines, as it should.

00:29:52.380 It's a pretty big deal.

00:29:54.720 But it's also taking a lot of the politics out of the news.

00:29:58.560 And are you amazed at how many big problems

00:30:02.800 don't seem to be in the news anymore?

00:30:06.340 Let me ask you this.

00:30:09.600 Is climate change solved?

00:30:12.340 Have we solved it?

00:30:13.580 Because Biden likes the Paris Accords or whatever.

00:30:18.660 So is climate solved?

00:30:20.180 Because it feels to me

00:30:21.780 as if climate stuff was like the number one headline

00:30:26.280 for like a long time under Trump.

00:30:28.840 But as soon as Biden and Harris are in charge,

00:30:32.360 I'm not seeing a lot of articles about the planet getting warmer.

00:30:35.740 Is that my imagination?

00:30:39.300 Does it seem to you that there are far fewer climate-related stories now?

00:30:44.300 Now, we had a little bit about the heat wave,

00:30:46.060 but they didn't really, you know, grind that into the ground

00:30:49.640 like you might expect they would have.

00:30:51.980 All right.

00:30:57.320 Everything the left talks about is just a club to beat the right with.

00:31:00.800 Yeah, it looks like that's the world we live in.

00:31:03.520 All right.

00:31:05.760 I don't have much more today.

00:31:07.260 And we will have to depend on the news business

00:31:11.280 giving us a lot more stuff.

00:31:14.980 Later today, I'm going to be testing the live streaming feature

00:31:18.640 on the locals platform, subscription platform,

00:31:22.540 where I put a lot more of my content.

00:31:24.120 And the first test was really good,

00:31:27.800 but I'm going to go test it from a browser today,

00:31:29.800 see how that works.

00:31:31.020 Not available to everybody yet.

00:31:33.100 It's just beta test.

00:31:35.500 All right.

00:31:38.060 And that is all I have for today.

00:31:41.100 And I will talk to you tomorrow.
