Well, so we have, of course, being the government, we have statisticians on our staff at the Department of Justice. I was surprised to show up. I was thinking, oh my gosh, let me look at all these lawyers. What is their trial experience? Oh, there's a PhD in statistics here. That's going to be really useful in court. But they could be, by the way. There are cases.

So properly deployed, they could be. But if you never have to prove your case, You never have to use them. You simply beat people over the head with a statistics book. And so that's what's happened here. So I'll give you an example. Memphis, Tennessee is one of the cities that the outgoing Department of Justice issued some pretty lurid-looking factual findings in.

And so when you start reading it, you look at, hey, the findings are Memphis is racist and their arrest rates of African-Americans are disproportionate. I'm sorry, let me just say...

And so the idea that there's disproportionate arrests of, you know, people who are on the street and, you know, potentially committing crimes as racists, Black cops, Black population, and Black homeless population. How do you reach that conclusion that racism, you have to reach that conclusion because you are biased yourself. And the lens that you're looking through is a lens seeking racism.

Well, that's the problem with these consent decrees. And so we examine these and look, one of the things people need to understand as a lawyer, when I go into federal court and my name as the assistant attorney general for civil rights is on all of these documents that we file in court. Sometimes the attorney general's name is on it as well.
