Go. Did you get the live one? Yeah, it's better, isn't it? No surprise.

Well, may I start with the news of the day? The big news of the day is like the big news of yesterday and the news of the day before, because there's not much big news happening. So we need something to be afraid of. Are you ready? Beware of the Delta variant. The Delta variant is coming for you. Oh yeah, you thought you were out of the woods? No, that doesn't sell clicks. How can you sell advertisements on news programs if you've solved a pandemic? You can't. What you need is the Delta variant. Beware of the Delta variant, which is under your bed. It's under your bed. It's in your closet. Children, put on your masks. Beware of the Delta variant.

Now, I don't know how afraid of the Delta variant you should be. I know I'm not afraid of it because I got vaccinated. And you know, the funny thing about vaccinations, if there's anything funny about them, is that it's caused this cattle-versus-sheep kind of thing. We humans so love to be on a team and hate the other team that we'll make a team out of anything. And suddenly it's like, oh, you're on the Moderna vaccination team or the Pfizer team. Like, what if I don't want to be on a team? What if I just want to get vaccinated? I don't have to be on a team, do I?

So here's the thing. My particular vaccination apparently is effective against the Delta variant. Oh, I might have other risks from getting vaccinated, but not the Delta variant. So your mileage may vary, but we'll see if the Delta variant gets us, because you've got to be afraid of something.

The House of Representatives voted yesterday to approve a resolution to create a committee to look into the January 6 Capitol attack. Can you think of anything that you would like your government to do less than that? If you were to make a list of all the things you think are important that your government should look into, where would you put on your list of top priorities for the country forming a committee to look into the January 6 Capitol attack?

I don't have any questions left about that. Do you suppose we find out there were some bad actors in the group? I don't care. It's not like a few bad actors caused it to happen. They might have been there. Well, what if you find out that all the people there had different motives? We kind of know that. What if you find out that a large group of Americans had some really bad actors in it? Is there any possibility there weren't? Are there any large groups of Americans that don't have any bad actors in them? What if we find out there were FBI assets in the group? Of course there were. So we already know that. Do you think the FBI informants or assets caused the riots? Do you think they pushed them? Well, you don't need a committee to look into that, do you? It seems like law enforcement would be looking into that, or not.

So I don't see any purpose of this whatsoever except political, just to keep it as a story. I think it was McCarthy who warned that you would lose your committee assignments if you're Republican and you joined this committee. So I don't know that this will go anywhere. Very political, completely useless. Big story of the day.

Well, Britney Spears is still a prisoner of her conservatorship. I guess she was unsuccessful in getting that released. But Bill Cosby is a free man. That's right. Britney Spears is still under a conservatorship, dancing away in her bikini, but Bill Cosby, free man.

Now, I don't want to cause anybody to feel bad about this story. If you've been a victim of any kind of crime like this or know anybody who has, or you're just a good person, you're probably quite offended by the story of Bill Cosby going free. It turns out that he is accused by approximately 60 women of a very similar crime. Sixty women. How does your lawyer get you out of jail when 60 women have accused you of a similar horrible crime? What kind of a lawyer can do that?

Well, here's the basic idea. Most of these, or all of them I think, were past the statute of limitations. So there was only one that was the subject of his going to jail. And it turns out that he has some kind of oral agreement — everything sounds naughty when you're talking about Cosby — now he had an oral agreement with a lawyer and a prosecutor that he wouldn't be prosecu
