Conflicts are behind us. As the saying goes the arc of the moral universe is long but bends towards justice. A historic ruling from the supreme courts could spell the end of affirmative action on college campuses. The 62 rule upholds a michigan amendment banning the use of race in college admissions. Stephen finally, this decision ends the unfair practice of admitting students based on their race and allows more students to be admitted based on if their parents went there. laughter we dont need affirmative action because Racial Discrimination is officially over. Dont believe me . Just ask these other white people. laughter . The dream of affirmative action is has been realized. Its taken a long time, but we i would say weve arrived. This is a scene that Martin Luther king wished for. He wanted this day to come. He wanted the law of the land to finally back off and say you know what . We dont need this, because there is equate. Stephen thats right, African Americans. Dr. King said he might not make it to the Promised Land with you, but these guys did and theyll let you know how it is. laughter its like m. L. K. Said himself at the march on washington i have a dream that one day the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of the brotherhood unless there happens to be another slave owners son who is similarly qualified that he should take the slave kids seat because its not about quotas. cheers and applause . Great man. Of course, these days theres still one group of people youre allowed to attack white guys. Surprise case in point, nevada rancher and extra from smokey and the bandit, cliven bundy. I know, i like him, too. Frequent viewers of my show know that ive been meaning to tell you about cliveen for weeks. But heres the story. Bundys cattle were seized by the federal bureau of Land Management under the flimsy excuse that hes grazed his cattle on federal land for decades and owes 1 million in grazing fees. 1 million to let cows eat. What are they growing in that desert, lobster tails . But bundy has a simple explanation for not paying. I dont recognize the United States government as even existing. laughter stephen okay, you cant pay a government in it it doesnt exist. Especially not with the money that it issued. laughte laughter by bravely standing against the forces of paying your bills, bundy became a hero to conservatives like sean hannity who turned bundys 10 gallon hat up to 11. My gx guest is a rancher waging a battle against the government. Back with us is cliven bundy. Back with us is cliven bundy. And back with us tonight to respond in a hannity exclusive is rancher cliven bundy. Cliveen, ive gotten to know you as the controversy is unfolding. You and your family seem like really nice people. Stephen man, hannity ate up that store so hard, bundy should have charged him grazing fees. cheers and applause . And thanks, thanks to seans sympathetic coverage, arped patriots flocked to bundys ranch to defend his rights. We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front. If theyre going to start shooting, it will be women that will be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers. Reporterofficers. Stephen now, thats not as monstrous as it sounds. Im sure they were going to protect the women with a line of children. applause now, no surprise, the feds did not have the sack to shoot through a lady line, so they packed it in. And in that moment of victory against an enroaching federal government, cliven bundy became more than just a man. There is a growing number of supporters for rancher cliven bundy, all vowing to stand behind a man who has become their hero. A savior, if you will, or a symbol of Rural America standing up to the federal government is a hero, a folk hero if you will. Stephen oh, i will. laughter and like every folk hero, he deserves a folk song. cheers and applause his name was cliven bundy a of bunkerville, nevada. If you dont know his story i think you really oughtta. Back in 1993, the feds demand grazing fees on public land the bundy plan since the 1870s. cheers and applause . Nevada state decree from 1953 gave federal authority over all state public property. As stated if the zephy the guadalupehidalgo treaty applause laughter applause is not but cliveen couldnt understand, why should he have to pay for land . This land belongs to you and me. This is what he told sean hannity. This is the ball ballard of cliven bundy. Take it. I want to tell you one more thing i know about the negro. Stephen okay, thats enough of the song. cheers and applause . Unfortunately, nothing rhymes with negro. Okay, lets see, where where were we . Oh, yes, cliven bundy. laughter cliveen, what were you saying about our African American breath ren . They abort their their young children. They put their young men in jail because they never learned how to pick cotton. And ive often wondered are they better off enslaved, picking cotton. Stephen calm down. Thats not racist. Thats being existent. He does not believe in the federal government so it would be hip crickal to believe in the emancipation proclamation. Im sure he had a chance to clarify the statement. Are they happier now under the government subsidy system than they were when they were slaves and they was able to have their Family Structure together and the chickens and gardens, and the people have something to do . Stephen well, that certainly makes it crystal clear. He left the chickens out the first time. They really tie the whole idea together. The point is, this man is a victim of racism, as it made clear on the Bundy Facebook page saying, cliveen is a good man. He loves all people. He is not a racist man. He wants what is best for everyone. Okay, he wants whats pest for everyone. And hes just wondering if for some people thats slavery. laughter is it a crime to wonder now . And, folks, my one regret here is that i did not embrace cliven bundy sooner, like sean hannity did, you know, really draw him to my bosom, to link us inexocialying it, to hang him around my neck like some kind of lucky dead sea bird. But you beat me to it, sean. Youre good, buddy. Youre good. Thanks to your nonstop support of coverage of bundy, now when anyone thinks of folks who have insight into the negro, theyll think of sean hannity. I mean, these two cheers and applause these two go together to like ku and klux. I mean salute you, sean. I salute you for bravely standing by a man whose only crime was breaking federal law. Well be right back. cheers and applause this is smith forge hard cider. Its like emmett, here. Strong. Sturdy. But not too sweet. [ male announcer ] built from apples. Built to refresh.

Lets go places. cheers and applause . Stephen welcome back, everybody. Thank you so much. Folks, ladies and gentlemen, there has been a lot of talk these days about equal pay for women. Well, i think theres been a lot of talk. I wasnt really paying attention. Game is on. It turns out arounding less is good. Just ask conservative icon and lady who gives out raises at halloween, phyllis schlafly. She wrote women typically choose a mate, husband, or boyfriend who earns more than she does. While women pefer a higher average partner, men like to be the higher earning partner. Men like women who dont earn much money. Thats why the hottest place to pick up a ladia a homeless shelter. Be careful, faelz, her imaginary roommate is crazy. The opposite is also true women are attracted to men who make more money. Why do you think women sleep with donald trump . laughter seriously, does anyone know why . laughter is it a dare like the cinnamon challenge or something . laughter applause it would explain his skin color. Now, the danger the danger schlafly warns is that if we eliminate the pay gap, romance will die, simple arithmetic suggests half of women would be unable to find what they regard as a suitable mate. If a higher earning man is not available, many women are more likely not to marry at all. So enjoy your equal pay, ladies. You can spend it on friskies for your hundreds of cats because youre dying alone. Women, come on. Women, be honest. Be honest, women. Do not be ashamed to admit it you like a guy to earn more than you. Same way you like them to open doors or give up their seat on the bus youre riding because you cant afford a car. laughter meanwhile, schlaflys article touched off the predictable Media Firestorm from the liberal has been ladies. But come on, if these female journalists really thought they should get paid more, why did they go into journalism . And these dames dont realize that schlafly is trying to help women by helping men so they can help women. As phyllis so eloquently said, the pay gap helps promote and sustain maerms. The best way to improve economic prospects for women is to improve job prospects for men in their lives, even that means increasing the socalled pay gap. Well said. To help women, we may need to increase the pay gap. 77 cents to the dollar is a good start but we can do better. Why not 50 cents on the dollar . Or, or call me a radical feminist, but maybe women shouldnt be paid at all. Dont listen to me, ladies. Im just a guy who makes more than you. Youve got to take some personal responsibility here. Tomorrow morning i want you to march into your boss boss offid say mr. Thompson ive proven myself. Ive got initiative. Ive got enthusiasm. Ive exceeded my sales quota which is why i demand a 25 pay cut and give that money to chuck in the mailroom. Hes nice.

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic a big, big love gigantic, gigantic, gigantic a big, big love cheers and applause . Stephen welcome back be everybody. Thanks so much. Folks my guest tonight is an awardwinning author with a new book about the virtues of kindness. Which means i get to yell at him and hes just going to sit there. Please welcome george saunders. cheers and applause . Hey, george, good to see you again. Thanks for coming back. My pleasure. Stephen for those who dont know youre awe mccarthy grant receiveee and a beststiller author o. And a new one is called congratulations, by the way, its some thoughts on kindness. This started off as a speech you gave at syracuse university, a comment . Yes. Stephen so sell me on kindness. laughter it gets great press. It gets great press, okay. Dont get me wrong, got a great publicist. Whats in kindness for me . laughter . When i was working on the speech, i was kind of blanked out. I thought you have a room full of young kids that are impatient. What can i say thats really urgent . I looked back and said in all my life what do i regret . And there wasnt that much actually. laughter no, like the little humiliations you can forgo all that. But there were a hand full of things they really regretted and they all had to do with moments where somebody needed me to be kind to them or step up and i department for whatever reason. So i wrote about one particular girl in our middle school class who was kind of an outcast. And tried two or three times to help her and then i kind of chickened out. I had that feel when somebody is drowning and you go to help and you go this could get ugly. And i kind of bailed on her. Stephen ive never actually done that to someone. laughter . I recommend it. No, no, no. But so she was kind of a nice girl, and at that time i was a pretty strong catholic, and i identified closely with that kind of 70s idea of jesus as being so compassionate that he was comfortable anywhere. And i thought, yeah, i could do that. Un. Stephen did you help her ever . Well, i tried. I sort of made a few attempts, but you could see this had probably happened to her before in other schools, and she was a little leery and really wasnt that eager to be helped. So at that point, at some point i just said, yeah, im not going to do that. And i could sort of feel myself from falling away from that idea of jesus i had in my mind which i think is why i remembered it all these years later. Stephen so you regret that very much. How did middle school go for you. Pretty good. Stephen bleep . No, no, listen, but its a jungle out there in middle school. Its a jungle. Its kill or be killed. I mean, heres my heres my problem with your with kindness, george. If everyone tries to be kind, okay lease say we all try to be kind, and one guy stays a dick, okay, were all suckers. And he takes advantage of us. Okay . I for one dont want to get to st. Peter at the pearly gate and say, oh, yeah, you were kind to people but you were a sucker and somebody abused food stamps. Go to hell. You make a good case. Stephen thank you. I was coming here to promote the kindness book and i was on the new jersey turnpike and i get to the tollbooth and i get into that little thing, that little kind of and the guy comes out and drops a cone right in front of my car. Stephen a comb . A cone. And he said, you gotta go back. So i looked back and its freezing rain. Its night. The cars are, like, six or seven cars are behind me. So i think, you know, invoke kindness. So i jump out of the car and i go up to him and say in my best new age voice, sir, im not sure this is the best decision given the conditions. And he goes, i dont give a crap. Im going home. So i thought this is a you know, a really good kindness case. I i said, if you dont mind, i think its not even in your interest. He said, im going home. And he walked off. So thats a case where i what i wanted to do stephen he dropped the cone in front ofue it wasnt governor christie, was it . laughter applause . No, i dont think it was him. Stephen so being nice is not kind. In that moment i wanted to Say Something really cutting to him. Stephen what would you have said . I cant think of it because im so kind. laughter you. Stephen teach at syracuse university. Stephen i do. Do you have tenure . I do. Stephen why are you kind still . You dont have to be kind anymore . You could be a complete monster and no one would do anything to you. I have the sweetest students ever why not be nice . Stephen you say becoming kinder happens naturally with age. How do you explain grumpy old men . Yeah, i laughter i got a few emails you should meet my fatherinlaw. You dont know what youre talking about. For me i think what happens is you get older, you have less energy. So it takes a lot of energy to maintain your nurose ease and hatred. I think as you get older youre like i wish i could still be hateful, but im too tired. laughter you have kids. And you see the way the world works on people and i think you i think actually the dust kind of settles. In my experience you sort of see that learning to become more sympathetic and loving actually is really what its all about. All the other stuff of kind of just dust, you know . Stephen the central message to students is strive for kindness. Yes. Stephen is that because theres more realistic for graduating seniors right now than striving for jobness . laughter applause . cheers it gives them something to do while waiting for their rejection letter. Stephen or waiting tables. When has kindness worked for you . For me. Stephen when did it pay off . It didnt pay off for the guy can the cones . Not so much. Stephen the girl in middle school. You should see the things i left out of the speech. Those would have been a graduation buzzkill. Dont kill a guy. Stephen did you kill someone . No. Stephen okay, but thats out there now. When has kindness worked for you, george . It worked whennive the recipient of it. Stephen okay. laughter applause gimme, gimme, gimme. The message is be kind because im right here. laughter if you can think of one time you were a nice guy, please come back. Georggeorge saunders. Its a great book. Its a wonderful speech. Its called congratulations. Buy it for every graduate. Theyll love it. Well be right back. laughter ap [ male announcer ] welcome to no mans land.
