nd it will fix your brain? Because little robots basically would go in there and just fix it. Does that sound like something that's going to happen in your lifetime? It really doesn't. I don't know if it's going to happen or not, but it doesn't sound like something that's going to happen. That sounds pretty aspirational. Well, as you know, California had this thing called Prop 50 that passed by a…

dy is being sued because it's unconstitutional to have racial gerrymandering.

Now, if they say, "But we're not doing it for racial reasons," then the argument would be, "Then why does it look exactly like you are?" But it's really just Democrats getting more and Republicans getting less. And that's just politics. That's not race. That's just politics. To which I say, and yet there is one other correlation that we're noticing here. There's one other correlation. So I'm not so sure that this lawsuit will succeed. I feel like it probably won't because all they have to do is say, "No, no, no. It's about politics and we make the decision based on how many Republicans there are, not based on how many white people there are." But we'll see. I mean, to me, it seems at least half racist. You know, at the minimum, it's half racist. I just don't know. Is half racist enough to change it? You want it to be no racist, right? Zero racist would be ideal. I don't know. We'll see.

What else is happening in the world of racism? CBS just fired an experienced old white guy attorney. He wasn't that old. Because he was a middle-aged man. This is the Daily Mail is reporting. So they replaced him with a black former intern because he was a middle-aged white man. So that's how the Daily Mail and Will Potter are describing it. However, there's a lawsuit over that because you know what is the worst idea in the world? Messing with a lawyer. Here's some good advice for you. Should you ever decide to mess with somebody, don't do it with somebody who doesn't have to pay to hire a lawyer because he is the lawyer. I mean, maybe he is paying a lawyer, I don't know. But if you go after a lawyer, you're going to get sued and you're going to spend a lot of time figuring stuff out that the lawyer didn't have to figure out because they do it routinely. Just fill out some paperwork. I worked all day trying to figure out what your paperwork said. Had to hire a lawyer to figure out what your paperwork said. So never mess with a lawyer. And by the way, I'm not saying this just because of this story. This has been my lifetime advice. I've given this advice a lot of times. Don't mess with lawyers. It's just all bad, you know. Just don't do it. Just treat them right and they won't sue you. But you're going to have to try extra hard just to make sure you do

n't get in that situation. So that's CBS being racist allegedly. So I saw Mamdani. By the way, it turns out that whoever is in charge of the dictation software on my Apple devices really hates Mamdani because if you use the dictation feature, it says either "mom dummy," as in a mother who's also a dominatrix, two words, or "mom dummy." I swear to God, I'm not making this up. It actually says "mom…
