Summary
A friend of mine who lives in San Francisco had a bullet go through his wall of his apartment yesterday, but that's not the interesting part. The interesting part is it's the second time this has happened to him, and on two separate occasions, a bullet goes ripping through his apartment.

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:09.240
It's called a coffee with Scott Adams, and you're very lucky to be here, especially if you're seeing it live.
00:00:15.920
And if you'd like to take your experience up to the orgasmic levels of euphoria that you know you deserve,
00:00:23.180
all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or gels or stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel.
00:00:40.600
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,
00:00:46.220
It's called a simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
00:00:59.900
Well, I just saw a tweet from Elon Musk who says,
00:01:03.360
a friend of his who lives in San Francisco had a bullet go through his wall of his apartment yesterday.
00:01:16.140
Imagine living in San Francisco, and on two occasions, two separate occasions,
00:01:32.540
If I'm living someplace, the first two times a bullet goes ripping through my walls, I'm okay.
00:01:39.280
But that third time, I'm starting to see a pattern.
00:01:43.000
By the third time, I'm like, huh, I'm going to start to evaluate my options.
00:01:49.480
Now, I remind you of my experience in San Francisco in the, let's see, it was the 80s.
00:01:59.460
See, my apartment was completely cleaned out once, so I got robbed while I was at work.
00:02:08.620
My car was broken into, and my stereo was stolen four times, I think.
00:02:14.180
Let's see, I was mugged once by a giant knife, once by a gun on the street, twice when I was a bank teller, people pulled guns out of me.
00:02:30.940
One time, I was walking down the street, and somebody put a gun at my head and pulled the trigger, but there was no round in the chamber.
00:02:45.380
It wasn't unusual to come walking home and see, you know, somebody being beaten to death in the sidewalk.
00:02:53.200
It was sort of a normal experience where I lived.
00:02:57.320
So I'm not so sure that San Francisco is worse than the 80s, but it's definitely worsening.
00:03:05.000
Conor McGregor attended the Miami Heat game, and I guess they were going to do a little promotional thing.
00:03:11.280
Where he would come out, and he would humorously get in a fight with the Miami Heat mascot, in which he would punch the mascot, and that would be part of the show.
00:03:26.600
So he punches the mascot, and the mascot goes down, as you'd expect, and then he gets on top of the mascot, and he gives it a kill shot.
00:03:42.580
And I'm wondering how that job was described to the mascot.
00:03:57.340
You know, was there a meeting beforehand in which the mascot probably has a boss, right?
00:04:05.880
And the boss was like, hey, we've got the best idea.
00:04:14.940
He goes, you're going to share the stage with Conor McGregor.
00:04:22.720
The, like, most famous MMA fighter of all time, Conor McGregor?
00:04:41.400
Well, I thought you said Conor McGregor's going to punch me.
00:04:55.960
He's not going to give you, like, a full force MMA punch, right?
00:05:03.500
It's probably going to be three-quarter speed, tops.
00:05:05.880
And besides, your mascot head will be protecting you, won't it?
00:05:12.600
Well, it turns out that mascot head's a little softer than you'd expect,
00:05:16.480
and a 75% punch from a MMA fighter kind of hurts.
00:05:32.560
So to me, this just sounds like a bad management story.
00:05:35.880
They could have worked out a few more details before sending him out
00:05:39.960
to get punched by the strongest puncher in the world.
00:05:53.980
But you might know that I treat my mascots the same way.
00:06:02.260
So now I've heard Alan Dershowitz's take on the Trump legal risk
00:06:28.840
Basically, most of the charges look like they can be easily defended against.
00:06:35.260
In other words, the defense against most of what he did with the records,
00:06:54.100
So it wouldn't be the kind of thing that would keep him out of office
00:06:58.760
So most of the charges are in that easy-to-dismiss
00:07:07.600
some records act that defines this area pretty well.
00:07:13.400
He says there's one thing you have to worry about, though.
00:07:16.040
There's one part that might put him in jeopardy.
00:07:43.960
Dershowitz, in the process of simply talking about the case,
00:07:51.020
for the only part of the case that he thought was risky,
00:08:00.380
Now, this depends on the writer's testimony as well, right?
00:08:04.340
So you'd have to hear what the writer says about it.
00:08:06.720
But which of these two things do you think is more Trump?
00:09:08.120
and maybe sit there silently while you read it.
00:10:01.180
and I guess it was one other gentleman in the room,
00:10:33.800
if the story is just what you hear on the audio,
00:10:44.620
I think, is cleaner and also to the same point.
00:10:56.180
So if they don't complete it before the election,
00:11:07.440
But it wouldn't stop him from doing it, would it?
00:11:11.060
I mean, maybe it would go to the Supreme Court.
00:11:26.220
Because if the Constitution wanted that in there,
00:11:41.540
it would be hard to imagine it was assumed to be there.
00:12:03.900
via a process of proving that everything Trump said
00:13:11.200
They've also taken everybody else out of the news.
00:13:27.080
Do you remember what Chris Christie's policies are?
00:13:44.960
So, I don't know what the Democrats are thinking.
00:14:07.520
All this time, I thought it was going to be no big deal,
