00:00The verdict is in for Kim Kardashian. She is not guilty of being a lawyer because she flunked the
00:05bar exam. Friday night she found out that she failed the bar exam in California. You know that
00:11Kim did not go to college, didn't go to law school, but there is an end run which is doing an
00:18apprenticeship. I think it's for around 1,500 hours with a lawyer and then passing the baby bar.
00:25And Kim took the baby bar multiple times, eventually passed it, made her eligible to sit for the real
00:33bar exam in July. So between July and now, it was nail-biting time. She found out that she flunked.
00:41Here's what she posted on Saturday. She said, well, I'm not a lawyer yet. I just play a very
00:47well-dressed one on TV. Six years into this law journey and I'm still all in until I pass the
00:55bar. No shortcuts, no giving up, just more studying. And she went on to say, thank you
01:02to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way. So far, falling short isn't
01:07failure, it's fuel. Now this is so interesting. I was so close to passing the exam that only
01:15motivates me even more. I didn't know. I didn't know. We didn't know. That you get the results
01:22if you fail. Yes. We didn't know because we passed. And no, no, that is the difference.
01:26I actually didn't know, but she got a detailed score report of how she did on the bar. There
01:31are three different parts. And she says she was close. She says she was very close. So
01:34she feels motivated. She's going to take it again. She'll have to study again. There's
01:38another administration of this test in February. It's twice a year. She can take it. And we'll
01:42have to see where this goes. The bad news, and I have to, this is not gloating. The bad news
01:46is that your passage rate and chances of succeeding go way down. As first time takers, even though
01:52it's only a 50% passage rate, you have a 68% chance of passing on your first time. What
01:57drags it down to the 50s is that on your second time or more, you drop down to the 20s, 23%
02:03passage rate. So you get in your head, it becomes more difficult to pass over time. So this is
02:07not a great sign. By the way, she posted bikini pictures the day that she announced the results
02:16as some kind of a diversion. Different one than she studied in. She also posted studying
02:20pics earlier. I will say this. There is a difference, many differences between Kim Kardashian taking
02:25the bar exam and us. Because when we took the bar exam, we were singularly focused on
02:30one thing, the bar exam. We had already gone to law school. Where we learned how to think
02:35like lawyers. Yeah. And in her case, she has four kids, a husband, an ex-husband who is off
02:42the rails. She has a business empire that she has to manage, an acting career that she's
02:48dealing with, and many, many other things. So the idea that she could come close to passing
02:54is so admirable. Which I take right her word. That's true.
02:59You love that she flunked. And I was rooting for her. And I just think that she came close
03:06is remarkable, given what she had on her plate for a really difficult test. And I think that's
03:14kudos to Kim. It is, but you know, all the privilege. You don't mean this. No, listen.
03:18You've got to be sincere. I will. No, you're not. I would sincerely say all the privilege in
03:21the world, all the study, and she hasn't. You're not. I am. I'm flattered that she wants
03:26to join our profession and become a lawyer. Are you happy or sad she flunked, Derek?
03:31I can't say I'm surprised. You want the actual emotion? Are you happy or sad she flunked?
03:37You know, I don't know who likes to root against people. Derek has one thing over Kim Kardashian
03:43in his life. And I still have that thing. And that's what he wants to hold on to.
03:47I lord it over.
