are of myself, right? Well, no. So you can't do it with another person, but also you can't do it with yourself. Would you like the job? That's pretty severe. Can't have an intimate relationship with a woman, and I can't even take care of it myself. I guess I'm gonna have to do it for the money. What's it pay? Five, ten million a year? Well, you're also gonna be closer to poor than rich. I don't kn…
← Previous segment →. I'm not the one who could make a decision on this. So I recuse myself. I realize it's my decision to make, but I have to recuse myself because I can't be objective on this question. So I'm going to delegate it to the most credible person I can think of, which is Ben Carson.
Now, it's kind of a twofer if you haven't figured this out on your own. You may be aware that Ben Carson is black. I think most of you knew that. And you may also be aware that especially with the conversation about stop and frisk and a lot of African-American young men being arrested for minor marijuana possession, that's part of the whole Bloomberg story he has to explain away. Wouldn't it be the most credible thing you could do to have the recommendation, whatever it is — I don't know what Ben Carson would recommend — but wouldn't the best recommendation in terms of credibility be from a famous African-American doctor? How do you beat that? Because I think it has more impact on the African-American community, and I think everybody agrees with that. And if Trump isn't the one to make the decision, well, do it the way a manager would do it. You would delegate it if you can't do it. Delegate it. And he has the perfect person to delegate it to. Not again, I don't know what Ben Carson's opinions are, but that's the beauty of it. Do you think Ben Carson makes decisions without looking at the science? I doubt it. Do you think Ben Carson makes the decisions without looking at the full field — you know, everything from the politics to the science to the medical part to the social elements? He sees the whole field. He'd be perfect.
Now, in my perfect world, Trump would delegate it, take himself out of the decision. Ben Carson would look into it, probably would say let's get the federal government out of this business. Probably wouldn't say he's in favor of marijuana, I assume. I think he would just say let's get the federal government out of this business. States got this. And that would just be a win. Best idea you ever heard, isn't it?
Somebody says it's a horrible image. Somebody's characterizing what I said as he's black so he knows drugs best. Did I say anything like that? Did I just say that Ben Carson knows the most about drugs because he's black? I said nothing like that. I'll tell you what Ben Carson does know more about. He knows more about being blac

k than somebody who is not black. He knows more about being a doctor. He knows more about politics than people who are not involved in politics. He knows more about the Trump administration than people who are not involved with it. So that's that. All right, let me see if I hit all my points. I thi
