with a big hand or a big footprint, I guess. But that would be too far, right? There's a point where everybody says it's too far. And I think Biden reached that. So that's not the biggest problem in the world.

The other thing about his speech is that there's a lot of darkness and gloom and it was kind of long and boring and low energy. But it got the job done.

Here's a question I have for you. If you believe that Biden is doing a good job with pandemic management—and I would say he is—does anybody disagree with that? Is there any disagreement that Biden or the administration is doing a solid job with the—I would fault him with school openings. He should put more pressure on the teachers unions. That's a big deal. But I feel like it's happening. People are going back to school already. Vaccinations are looking pretty solid. Messaging looks pretty good. I think it's solid.

But here's the question. What is it that Biden has done that the Trump administration would not have predictably done? So for example under Biden the rate of vaccinations is way up. Well, don't you think that would have happened under Trump as well? Because we know that however it starts it's going to be slow compared to how quickly it will ramp up. So I don't see any reason that we should assume Biden did a better job. I don't see any evidence for that. In fact Trump might have put more pressure on teachers unions, although that could have been counterproductive. You could make an argument that if Trump had gone harder at teachers unions they would have just hardened their stand against him. So it's hard to predict. But I don't think there's any reason to think Biden did a better job than Trump would have if he had been in office.

I tweeted yesterday something that I knew would get people angry or bothered but there wouldn't be a reason, which is my favorite kind of tweet. Where people would feel like they should be offended on behalf of somebody else. They're not sure who and they're not sure exactly why but they're definitely offended if they can only figure out why.

Here is my tweet. I said that if I were the attorney defending Derek Chauvin, the officer who is charged with now I guess second or third degree murder, one of those, I would say that I would deliver my closing argument laying on the ground. If I were the lawyer laying on the ground and I would have my client put his knee on my neck much the way he did with George Floyd. And for the entire nine minutes—I would time it so it was the same amount of time as Floyd was held down—as the lawyer I would just speak normally and I would just have the ex-officer's knee on my neck. And I would say, "All right, we've presented all the evidence and as you can see there's plenty of reasonable doubt. The main reason that you and the world was so concerned is that the visual of this is just deeply disturbing. But as you can see the reason that this is a legal hold and it's trained and the officers are trained this way is that if you do it right it doesn't put much pressure on the neck. And as you can see I'm delivering my closing arguments completely without any air restricted and yet I can't move. I can't get up."

Do you think people complained about that tweet? Oh yeah. You always get this guy. Do you know who this guy is? He's the guy—it's usually a guy, right? I could be a woman, I don't want to be sexist—but it's usually a guy who comes in and says something like this: "A man died. You're laughing and a man died. This is not a joke." You always need that guy, right? The guy to remind us that there was a tragedy. Is there anything that is more well understood than that it was a tragedy? Is there anybody who doesn't know that?

And here's the second part. It wasn't a joke. If you laughed at it, well that's sort of on you because it wasn't written as a joke. It was written as a persuasion.

Now of course I don't assume that the lawyer would do anything
