It's time for Rich Tomorrow Tech Tuesday. 30 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.680 Rich is heard Saturday eleven to two pm on right 31 00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:32.439 Here on KFI every morning, KTLA Television, Instagram at, Rich 32 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.040 on tech website, Rich on tech dot TV. 33 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.519 Good morning Rich, Hey, good morning to Bill boy. We 34 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:40.879 sound happy like happy campers. 35 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:42.040 I do. 36 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:42.519 Well. 37 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.319 You're bad, actually, because yesterday I was Yesterday I was 38 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.799 so jet lagged from coming back from vacation. It was 39 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:52.400 just a god awful mess delays, layovers. All right, So 40 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.319 let's get right into it, because there's a lot of 41 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:58.000 stuff to talk about. The one that I'm more most 42 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:02.719 interested in because I hate cats. I'm a dog person. 43 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:07.640 Is you tested a robot kitty litter box? You're impressed 44 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.840 with it, and I'm thinking of using it for my 45 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.639 dogs or even for me if I want to. You know, 46 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.759 if I miss the toilet and I can't quite make it, 47 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:17.439 let's talk about that. 48 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.840 Yeah, I mean that would be the first me hearing 49 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.120 about a human using this. But these, you know, these 50 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.120 are pretty popular. And I can't believe you admit that 51 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:26.719 you hate cats, because you know I. 52 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.360 Don't hate them. But I'm a dog person. 53 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:29.639 Okay, you're a dog person. 54 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.360 I'm one of the people that Trump talked about, you know, eating. No, 55 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.599 let's not go there. So tell me about this and 56 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.319 why you actually were impressed with it. 57 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:39.960 Yeah. 58 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.039 So I've heard about these for a long time, these 59 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.479 automated kitty litter boxes. And I will tell you I 60 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:48.080 would be a cat person if I had a way 61 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.800 to keep my house clean with the cats and the kids. 62 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.800 They promised that they will scoop the kitty litter, and 63 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.360 of course who ends up doing it me, But we 64 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.719 foster cats in my house, so we kind of like, 65 00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.520 you know, just take them for a couple of weeks 66 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.439 at a time and get them up to speed and 67 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.759 then they get adopted. So anyway, but we've never gotten 68 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.840 a cat of our own because they wreck hav it. 69 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.120 You know, they leave the litter everywhere. You got to 70 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.560 scoop it. There's hair everywhere. Anyway, So we tried out 71 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.240 this self cleaning kitty litter box. This is the Nia 72 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.479 Casa m one and I knew these things were really expensive, 73 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.879 but I was curious, like, are they worth the price 74 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.680 because they are kind of an investment. And I will 75 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.560 tell you after having this thing in my home for 76 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.199 about three four weeks now, it is a game changer. 77 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.599 It is completely incredible and it's probably the single best 78 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.000 piece of technology I've ever tested that actually impacts your 79 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.759 life in a meaningful way. You know, the room boss 80 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.520 sort of you know, sort of promise that, but my 81 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:45.879 room gets stuck all the time. 82 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.439 This does not. This just works. 83 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.719 It cleans the litter, the cat has a fresh place 84 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.080 to go every time, puts all the droppings in a 85 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.560 bin underneath it. It tells you when it's time to 86 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.000 empty that bin, which is once. 87 00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.120 Every two weeks. And it's super easy. It's like a 88 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.439 on automated mode. Hmm. 89 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.639 And when you said it's expensive, how expensive? 90 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.400 So the top probably the top seller is seven hundred dollars. 91 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.599 That's wild Whisker Literal robot. Yeah, the one I tested 92 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.400 is six hundred. But here's a thing. Over Prime Day 93 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.639 it got down to as low as four hundred bucks. 94 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.120 So I would say you probably want to, you know, 95 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.360 wait for this thing to go on sale. It's I think, 96 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.519 at four hundred dollars, it's an absolute steal because it 97 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.600 is saving you time on a daily basis, saving you time, 98 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.680 saving you energy, and you know, the cat seems to 99 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.759 love it. It gives you even Bill, you even get 100 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.240 a little readout in the app of how long your 101 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:40.720 cat spent in this machine and how much they weigh, 102 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.079 so you can actually see if there's like maybe any 103 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.360 sort of illness or thing or something wrong with your 104 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:46.439 cat at any point. 105 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.439 Wow, that's important. How long did your cat sit there crapping? 106 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.480 I mean, I cannot think of technology that's more important 107 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:54.800 than that. 108 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.040 It'll even text you a little video of the process. Bill, 109 00:04:58.600 --> 00:04:58.920 you can. 110 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.439 It's important because that's something I want to see. I 111 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.360 got that. Also. 112 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:06.879 I want to point something out when you said, and 113 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.240 I usually don't hear this from you, very rarely do 114 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.720 you have technology that really affects your life in a 115 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.240 big way. And this is one of those that will 116 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.720 affect your day to day life, probably more than anything 117 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.399 you've ever tested. Have you ever had open heart surgery 118 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:24.800 with some new technology? 119 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:26.560 No, and I hope not to. 120 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:27.560 Yeah, Well, let me. 121 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.680 Tell you that affects your life just a little bit more. 122 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.399 I just wanted to throw that at you. Rich. 123 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.199 Just look, I'm talking for the average person, Bill, who 124 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.680 maybe has not had open heart surgery. But I'm just 125 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.879 saying in general, yes, there are millions of things that 126 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:39.639 have affected it. 127 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:40.319 Live no. 128 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.240 No, And I'm just yeah, obviously I'm just jerking your 129 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.199 chain here, but that's kind of neat. Now, the other 130 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.000 question before we take a break, you only foster cats 131 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.120 because of the mess and the cleaning of the litter, etc. 132 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.079 Does this change your opinion? Do you get a cat 133 00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:57.959 now because of this? 134 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.360 Honestly, Bill, this is the closest I've ever come to 135 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:06.079 saying yes. So because it is solved the main issue 136 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.519 I had, which was kitty litter, scooping kitty litter everywhere 137 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.920 because it just gets everywhere. It doesn't with this machine. 138 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:13.680 The only other thing I got to figure out is 139 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.360 the cat hair. Cats love to sit on me. I 140 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.160 don't know what it is. They come to me. There's 141 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.399 four people in my house. They come right to me 142 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.040 and rub up all against me and get their hair 143 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.519 all over me. And that's something else I need to 144 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:25.920 figure out. 145 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.480 Okay, And here's what I want to do. 146 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.199 And I'm just pitching this right now and on the air, 147 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.600 because we haven't talked about this. When you do get 148 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.839 your cat, we're going to have a contest in terms 149 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.759 of naming your cat, and then we're going to choose 150 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.439 a winner and the winner will get absolutely nothing, which 151 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.279 is always fun when we do contests here on KFI. 152 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.759 Sounds like a great opportunity for someone. 153 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:49.720 It does. 154 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.920 We'll be back and finish up Rich Ded Moureau and 155 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:58.199 tech Tuesday. The check in with Amy will rename Amy. Oh, 156 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.120 that's a great idea. 157 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.160 Can we just Rich? They do that because they know 158 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.000 that you don't love them and they're trying to win 159 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:05.439 you over. 160 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.879 I know that's what people say, but I okay, yeah, 161 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:09.639 I guess that's it. 162 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.000 I admit that whatever feeling. 163 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:13.720 Hey, I wonder if they're going to do that with dogs, 164 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.360 you know, because I'm a little sick of my dog 165 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.000 peeing on my leg and we've got to do something 166 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:22.920 about that. Back we go to Rich Demurrow Tech Tuesday. 167 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.879 Apple's AirPods and what's going on with that and AirPods. 168 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.839 I mean, I would get an Apple AirPod, but I 169 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.519 find them very expensive. 170 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.199 Yeah, they are expensive, but for this new feature, it's 171 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:38.160 actually pretty good. 172 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:38.879 So let's see you. 173 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.199 Can get you can get the general There's obviously various 174 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.319 levels of the air pods. The ones that I'm going 175 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.600 to talk about right now are the AirPods Pro two, 176 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.759 which retail for two hundred and fifty dollars, but they 177 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.000 are regularly on sale, including right now for about two 178 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.600 hundred dollars. And these are the top of the line 179 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.600 AirPods that Apple makes. The cheapest I think is one 180 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:02.920 about one and twenty. So these are getting a feature 181 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.120 next week. That's the hearing aid feature. We talked about 182 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.279 this back in September when Apple announced this, but now 183 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.519 it's actually coming out next week. So if you have 184 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:14.759 the Airpod's Pro too, they will basically be turned into 185 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.839 FDA authorized hearing aids with this software update. And so 186 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:20.600 this is going to be a heck of a lot 187 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.680 cheaper than a lot of other hearing aids out there. 188 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.800 The battery life, I think is the biggest limitation from 189 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.920 the early reports I'm seeing of people who. 190 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.720 Tried this out six hours, So this is not going 191 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:33.519 to be something that's a permanent solution. 192 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.679 Yeah, well, let me ask you when you think about that. 193 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.200 So you're already wearing a hearing aid. And now I'm assuming 194 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.440 wearing a hearing aid gets in the way of an 195 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:52.120 Apple pod, the iPod or the AirPod. I'm sorry, And 196 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.120 how do you do the two at the same time. 197 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:55.759 Do you take out your hearing aid and put it 198 00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.759 in for six hours, put in the AirPod and then 199 00:08:59.360 --> 00:08:59.840 switch it out. 200 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:01.720 Aga Well, it's interesting. 201 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.639 A lot of a lot of the modern hearing aids, 202 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.399 like the ones that are very expensive that you get 203 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.720 from a doctor, a lot of them actually work with 204 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.679 the iPhone, so they've built that functionality in a long 205 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:16.080 time ago where you use them twenty four to seven, 206 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.000 so they become you know, you can take phone calls 207 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.639 through them, you can listen to audio through them, so 208 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.480 you don't really need to take them out. This is 209 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:27.159 more for someone who has low to moderate hearing loss. 210 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.879 May not even know that, but you open up the 211 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.120 app next week, you take a little hearing test and 212 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.039 it will tune these air pods to help you hear better. 213 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.000 And so if you're like sitting there going you know what, 214 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.320 it is tough for me to hear conversations in a restaurant, 215 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.440 or it's tough for me to just hear in general. 216 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.559 Let me try this out, and you try it out 217 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.360 and you say, Okay, I don't need hearing aids twenty 218 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.759 four to seven, but it would help maybe at work 219 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.919 when I'm in meetings or something like that. So you 220 00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.039 can just pop these in. And I think the benefit 221 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.679 of the air pods is that they're ubiquitous. You know, 222 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.320 so many people are used to seeing them. It's probably 223 00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.000 not that big of a deal if you're wearing them 224 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:00.000 no matter where you are. 225 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.159 Do you think there's a market for it? 226 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.480 I mean, that is really niche stuff the way I 227 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.679 see it, And obviously I don't do the kind of research. 228 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.279 I'm sure Apple doesn't come out with something without really 229 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:17.039 researching it. But do you see that there's a big 230 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:17.720 market for this. 231 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:23.720 I could see it being a huge market if you know. 232 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.360 Look the price tag, I think is what's really interesting here. 233 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:28.879 So these are, you know, like I said, about two 234 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:32.120 hundred dollars compared to thousands of dollars for traditional hearing aids. 235 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.279 And it's also convenient. You know, it's a product that 236 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.919 many people already use. There's really no stigma attached, you know, 237 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.320 hearing aids. If you're thinking of getting them, it's kind 238 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.159 of a big deal because you have to go to someone, 239 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.960 You've got to take a test. You got to you know, 240 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.120 it's a big part of your life. Whereas this you go, Okay, 241 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.159 let me just take this test on my iPhone and 242 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.799 the comfort of my home. Let me pop these earbuds in, 243 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:55.120 and suddenly I can hear better. So I do think 244 00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:56.639 that there's going to be a lot of people that 245 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.799 will turn to these. Apple of course did their homework 246 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.279 and found that there's you know, like so many people 247 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.000 that have you know, undiagnosed hearing issues, and I think 248 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:06.399 that those are the people that are going to turn 249 00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:10.720 to something like this. Again, much more casual user, but 250 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:14.440 the use case, the actual help you get from these 251 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.519 are equivalent to anything you'd get that's from a doctor. 252 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:21.279 Because it is FDA authorized. I mean, it's a pretty 253 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:22.399 big deal that they've. 254 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.240 Done so much work into this. 255 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.720 Okay, one minute, because I spent way too much time 256 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:33.960 on this. And that is the new theft protection feature 257 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:35.440 on your Android. 258 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:36.480 On your Android. 259 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:40.039 Now, I'm assuming if somebody takes it, who shouldn't, four 260 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:43.279 hundred volts goes through his body instantly and they're electrocuted 261 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.480 close close. 262 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:47.639 This is this is actually a pretty smart feature. You 263 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:49.840 can turn it on right now on your Android phone 264 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.720 if you've done the latest software update. Basically, if someone 265 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.720 grabs your phone out of your hand, because theoretically it's 266 00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.759 unlocked because you were like looking at it, a thief 267 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.759 comes by, runs by, grabs your phone, and it's going 268 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.440 to start, you know, venmoing themselves or getting into your 269 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:08.679 bank account whatever. This new Android theft protection feature uses 270 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.919 the accelerometer on your phone to notice that something's wrong. 271 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:14.440 This person's running away with your phone, and it will 272 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.279 not only lock down your phone, but it also will 273 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.080 make it so they can't get back in, and then 274 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.759 you can also unlock it and do some things remotely. 275 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.840 It just basically locks everything down using an algorithm that says, hey, 276 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.480 we noticed someone's running away with this lock this unlocked phone. 277 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:31.240 Let's uh, let's lock that thing up. 278 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.279 How does it know that you're not just running around 279 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:36.080 with your phone? 280 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:37.279 Well, it could do that. 281 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.159 I mean it would definitely, you know, if you I'm 282 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.759 sure people will try this and see if that works. 283 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.200 But the reality is this is an algorithm, so they've 284 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.879 tested a whole bunch of different you know, snatching a 285 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.840 phone out of someone's hand scenarios, but go to settings, 286 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:56.600 tap Google all Services, theft protection, theft protection, theft detection lock. 287 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.960 It's not enabled by default, but it's just one more 288 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.159 to keep someone from grabbing your phone, running away and 289 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:04.240 stealing all your information. 290 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.000 All right, Rich This Saturday, eleven am to two pm 291 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:12.960 KTLA every morning and Instagram at rich on tech website, 292 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.039 richontech dot TV. We will catch you next week or 293 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:17.159 I'll hear you on Saturday. 294 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.000 Thanks Bill, you too, All right? 295 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:19.480 Coming up? 296 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:24.120 The pollsters completely blew it in twenty twenty? Are they 297 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:25.759 going to be wrong again? 298 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.000 Coming up in two weeks. 299 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:32.279 One of the things that happens during the course of 300 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:37.519 any election, whether it's presidential, senatorial, governorship, etc. Is looking 301 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.279 at the polls, and you always get two views of 302 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.879 the polls. Who's ever losing in the polls? Who's behind 303 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:48.399 says I don't pay attention to the polls. Who's ever 304 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.000 winning in the poll says? Look at the poll numbers, 305 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:57.200 look at the sport I'm getting. So which one is true? 306 00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:58.039 Both? 307 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:05.159 Depending on the year. In twenty twenty, the posters were 308 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.080 dead wrong. Twenty sixteen, the posters were closer than they 309 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:15.200 had been in eighty years. So here's the problem with 310 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:21.440 polling is right now, the posters are easy because it 311 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:26.159 is a dead heat. The only voting that counts is 312 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.120 in the battleground states California. Waste of time for anybody. 313 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:32.919 California is going Democrat. 314 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:33.279 That's it. 315 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.679 We are not going to see television, radio ads, billboards 316 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:44.320 touting one candidate or another, particularly in presidential Why because 317 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:45.600 everybody knows California. 318 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:47.200 Now, if you happen to. 319 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:50.440 Own a media media outlet, even a small media outlet, 320 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:53.759 in any of the battleground states, do you know that 321 00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:00.759 those are Every commercial is sold out everyone. There is 322 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:04.000 no product or corporation that wants to go in and 323 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.720 buy a radio ad or a TV ad in those 324 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:11.000 battleground states. Tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars 325 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:11.480 being spent. 326 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:16.639 So let's look at the polls. Who's ahead. 327 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.120 Well, if you look at the battleground states, a couple 328 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.720 of them in the States they are dead. Even that's 329 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.720 former President Trump and Vice President Harris dead. Even others 330 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:35.919 put one or the other ahead, but all. 331 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:36.919 Within the margin of error. 332 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:41.360 You can flip a coin to see who's going to 333 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:42.279 win on this one. 334 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:43.279 It is that close. 335 00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:47.960 And the pollsters do not want a repeat of twenty 336 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.159 twenty in which they are wrong. And so you think 337 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:56.840 in this modern age, between artificial intelligence and algorithms and 338 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:01.639 the way people can be reached via Internet and phone, 339 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.240 they would have a good idea of which way the 340 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:09.679 electorate's going to go. Well in reality, no, why because, 341 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:15.039 for example, Republicans who did far better, they're harder to reach. 342 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.360 Republicans don't pay attention to polls. 343 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.919 Someone really, I don't, and I'm not a Republican, nor 344 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:25.320 am I a Democrat. I've been unaffiliated ever since I 345 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.960 started broadcasting, and that was a lot of years ago. 346 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:31.840 Someone calls me up about the poll. I don't pay 347 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.679 attention now, not interested? Would you take a poll? 348 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:35.240 I will not. 349 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:40.200 I don't want to spend the time. How about internet, No, 350 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:45.480 don't take the time. I won't do it now. The 351 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:49.679 way I don't do it is far greater in numbers 352 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:52.799 among Republicans, and that really screws things up because one 353 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:54.840 of the things the pollsters have a real problem with 354 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:59.519 is reaching those people who otherwise would not tell the 355 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:05.319 poster which way they are going. And so particularly the 356 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:10.240 shift of black and Latino voters going towards Trump that 357 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:15.319 the pollsters are looking at that's never happened before. John Krasnik, 358 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:19.160 a Stanford University political science says, we're headed for more disaster. 359 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:24.000 Why because the new polling methods that they're using, the 360 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:28.640 algorithms and the polling on the internet, et cetera. Frankly, 361 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:35.519 they're unproven in terms of sampling methods.
