| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome to Black in the air. Larry, one more black in the air live from the Texas Tribune Festival. How's everybody doing? |
| 0:13.0 | Yeah. Thanks for being here. Thank you very much, Texas. |
| 0:18.0 | Always good to be in Texas. I'm very excited. And I guess today is Cecil Richards, president of Planned Parenthood. |
| 0:25.0 | Came all the way from New York City back to hometown in Texas. Don't mess with Cecil and don't mess with Texas, right? |
| 0:35.0 | It kind of goes together. Okay, I'm really excited. A couple of things. I always like to do a weigh-in if you guys have heard my podcast at the top. |
| 0:42.0 | And I ask people to send in some questions on Twitter. You people are hilarious on Twitter and emails. So let me just go through a few of these. |
| 0:50.0 | And then I just have a quick thing to say. And then we'll get into this interview. All right. First question is from Scrub Daddy. I think so. |
| 0:59.0 | I know. What is it with? I don't know if that's a really. At my treat, you would think that would be the handle, right? Scrub Daddy. |
| 1:06.0 | Scrub Daddy. Why do white people be like that? So an interesting question. I don't know Scrub Daddy. I don't know why people be like that. |
| 1:15.0 | Maybe we're in Texas. Maybe we'll find out some of those answers. That's an interesting question. |
| 1:23.0 | Myel High Oot at Johnny Yes. He says, is there any hope for a democracy based on voting by policy over voting for people? |
| 1:33.0 | I don't know if I know what that means, exactly. I think any time you vote, you're kind of voting for a policy, I guess. You know, I would say, look, I always have hope for our democracy because I believe in the people ultimately. |
| 1:43.0 | But you just, I think you just have to remember to vote. That's the key to keeping our democracy, right? Remember to vote. |
| 1:52.0 | Nick at Nick Smith. What in life is truly objective and not subjective? I love these philosophical questions. Like, who do they think I am, exactly? |
| 2:02.0 | I will tell you though, I think that most things are subjective. I mean, you could even argue, I know this is a little nerdy, I apologize for that. You could argue even math and science is subjective. I had this argument with Mildegraff Tyson. |
| 2:12.0 | Because if you went somewhere else in the universe, there may be different rules about physics and that kind of stuff, you know. So I think most things are subjective. |
| 2:20.0 | It's pretty heavy. Yeah, it is heavy. Yeah, except for that statement, which is an objective statement. |
| 2:27.0 | John Mumford, which of ketchup colliguel as appointments has done the most damage? Okay, so let me catch it. So he says ketchup colliguel. So I asked people to, I'm talking to this little Richard's three people out there, I know. |
| 2:40.0 | Not officially yet, but just here. So I asked people to put together a fruit and a dictator to describe Trump, you know. |
| 2:48.0 | Like, I started with orange Julius Caesar, which is technically a drink, technically a drink, right? But we've had names like nectarine oriega, which is pretty good. That's pretty good. |
| 2:59.0 | Papaya Papadak is one of my favorites. I just like the way that flows. My favorite, those tangerine idiomine, that's pretty awesome. That's pretty awesome. |
| 3:11.0 | I mean, it just, you're right, it just, it has everything to it. I think, I think the nectarine oriega is doing the most damage. I don't care about his appointments. I think he's the one we got to worry about. |
