You were back in the middle of a political firestorm. Yeah, for walking on the beach with my wife. So I don't know how we ended up here. It never occurred to me that it was any kind of controversial thing, but that's the time we live in. Oh, shut up. So take me back to the walk on the beach. We were walking on the beach.
We went to the beach to prepare for this week, which was the launch of my book, and to think about the book and to prepare to answer questions about it. And we were walking back towards the road, and we saw in the sand someone had arranged shells with numbers. And Patrice, my wife, said, why would someone put an address in the sand? And I said, I don't know.

And we stood over it, and I said, you know, I think it's some kind of political message. And she said, you know, 86, when I was a server, she did a lot of work in restaurants, meant to remove an item from the menu when you ran out of ingredients. And I said, well, to me, as a kid, it always meant to leave a place, to ditch a place. I said, that's really clever.

She said, just take a picture of that. And I did. And I posted it on my Instagram account and thought nothing more of it until I heard that people were saying it was some sort of a call for assassination, which is crazy. But I took it down. I don't even if I think it's crazy, I don't want to be associated with violence of any kind.

Speaking of Joe Biden, sir, do you have any thoughts on his diagnosis?

Yes, I do. If you can play that clip, go for it. Here's Carver. Why don't you just get out the Democratic Party? Honestly, start your own movement. Who's he talking about? All right, let's do the simple math. Probably 69%, I don't know, we could call Jim Gerstein or Jeff Garrett, roughly 69% of people going to vote in November, maybe more. Let's do 70% for just round math, are going to be white.

Of that, 48%. Maybe a little more are going to be mayor. So that's roughly, let's just call it 33 and a third percent of the entire election. Well, let's just run against them because that's so goddamn smart. All right. So now we're going to have a campaign by the progressive left against white men who vote about a third of everybody that votes in an election.

Why don't you, lady, start your own party? And then when it's over, you want to caucus with the Democrats? Fine. We agree with a lot of things that you do, but we don't believe we ought to be running against white men. In fact, we don't think we ought to be running against any gender, any ethnic group, any race, any religion or anything else. God damn, these people are just helpless.

They cannot be helped. There's nothing you can do to help them. They don't want to be helped. And if they had any guts, they'd start their own goddamn political party and get out of ours.
