(Page 6 of 8)
Tavis: So why doesn't this work with Hillary and Barack?
Carey: Well, they're a lawyer (laughter) (unintelligible) lawyer.
Tavis: Yeah, they're not rooting for each other.
Carey: Oh, well, they (unintelligible), but that's the thing. When you have - I'm having a real trouble with this now in my stand-up act because I have to do - I'm doing Vegas next weekend. I'm only doing 15 minutes, but so much of my act is, like, attack-oriented, like this guy's an idiot, and this guy's stupid, and she's - and it's from before.
And I don't think like that. I'm getting so far away from that now. But when you're in politics, it's like everybody's telling you you've got to attack that other person, get that other person. It's not a loving; it's not a place of love. It's coming from a place of fear all the time.
Tavis: I totally agree with that. You're telling me - I think I just heard you say that "The Price is Right" is actually forcing you to change your stand-up, even.

Carey: Yeah, we'll just (unintelligible). (Laughter)
Tavis: Before I let you go right quick, so "The Power of 10," how's that?
Carey: They're pulling to off (unintelligible).
Tavis: They're pulling it for the moment but they said they're going to bring it back in the summer, though.
Carey: I think so, yeah, I hope so. That's another really smart show. We ask a lot of tough questions on that show, and get real answers from people.
