Adam Carolla - August 12th, Hour 3

Published Aug 13, 2022, 2:42 AM

Adam Carolla, New York Times Bestselling author, Guinness World Record-breaking podcaster, and comedian, has written a new book called Everything Reminds Me of Something: Advice, Answers…But No Apologies - today he joins to talk about the news of the day, and how if you don’t laugh you’ll cry because it’s just awful. Of course what we’re allowed to laugh about is changing all the time. 

An, I can't believe it's Friday Final Hour. Gladuate with US eight hundred nine point one Shawn a number. You want to be a part of the program, We'll get to your calls coming up at the bottom of the half hour. We do need a little bit of a break here, which is why it's fun to bring back on the program. Adam Carolla, by the way, New York Times bestselling author in his own right, and by the way, his latest book Everything Reminds Me of Something, all part of his comedy routine. We have a lot of issues involving people wanting to silence voices, especially you know, comedians like Dave Chappelle, etc. Which I think is nuts and insane. Mister Carolla, sir, how are you. I'm doing well, Thanks for having me. So what do you think of this mess? Mar Lago rated by the same FBI that light about Donald Trump and Russia collusion for three years, The same FBI that used Hillary Clinton his opponent's dirty paid for Russian dossier to get Faizo warrants say that the dossier was quote verified by them. It turns out it was unverifiable because none of it was true, and I was supposed to believe the FBI what they say in a warrant. I don't believe them. Well, here's what I was saying on my podcast, Sean. I have no idea what's inside of Donald's compound in Marilago, but I will say this. I see the same people I saw a year and a half ago telling us that hunter by Blacktop was had all the earmarks of a Russian hoax and was driven by Putin. Those exact same people are now back on CNN explaining that this was a legitimate raid and that we had every right to do it and there must be something important. So pardon me if I don't have one eyebrow raised just a little bit. I feel like between the FBI and the CBC in Fauci, I no longer listen to anything that these people will say. I assume it's a lie, but I just want to verify, invent everything. And I never would have done that two or three years ago. If you said the FBI says, Fauci says, the CDC says, I would have won. Oh well, that must be exactly what's happening now. I don't know, and that's all I tell you. I'll take it a step further. I mean, we gave Fauci the benefit of the doubt in the beginning of this, and we even gave you know, margin of error because nobody in the beginning really knew anything about what COVID nineteen was about. So it would be normal that people that are smart, they're making the best educated guests, trying to give their best advice. But over a period of time, they were wrong on everything, and they weren't even occasionally right. So if you ask me if I'd ever trust the CDC, the NIH, Fauci or Waalinski or Biden or any politician ever talking to me about my health in the future, the answer is hell, no, I'm ever listening to them ever. Yeah, Well, the problem with Fauci is remember when he was getting grilled by Rampaul I think was Ranpaul and he was asking about Black Lives Matter rallies and parades and he said he didn't have any opinion on that. He was compromised at that point during that hearing that was almost two years ago, where he said, you know, gatherings at churches, gatherings at football stadiums all bad, So what about gatherings for BLM rally he said, I have no opinion. At that point I realized he was compromised, so we didn't have to listen to him. And what about all the stuff he said, like he didn't know about natural immunity. We didn't. He don't know about natural community. What are we listening to you for? He got stuff wrong and he lied. The FBI is just lying at this point. I don't know how many different ways they can go after Trump, and I have no idea why they think we're to go along with it, why we should believe them. It is the group that cried wolf. You know, it's worse than that. And look, you don't dig into the weeds of politics as much as I do. You certainly are a better expert on cultural issures than I am. Um, But the two worlds do connect in a lot of ways. And all I know is, for three years we were told by the FBI top their top echelon their top officials. Now I gotta step back and tell you that I had a reverence growing up my entire adult life on radio and TV for law enforcement. My whole family comes from law enforcement. My mom was a prison guard. I had so many relatives that were cops, on the NYPD. There were two members of my family that made it to the FBI. They were they were deity in my family. They were they were like, you know, here's God, and there they are. And so I had this reverence and I still believe ninety five are good people that put their lives at risk for us. But when we discovered that they had an insurance policy to ensure that Donald Trump would never win, you lost your credibility and you lost your trust, especially with all things Donald Trump. And here's the worst part, Adam, Now, one of those people that signed those false warrants ever got held accountable. If you lie to a judge, I promise you, Adam Carolla, you will go to jail. I will go to jail. Everyone listening to this program would go to jail. Well, look, I like to play a little game called stupid or Lion. Whether you're talking about FBI or you're talking about Fauci. Is Fauci stupid or is he lying? It doesn't matter either way, he needs to be removed. And I feel the same way with the FBI. You are the same people that said the Steel dossier was real and Hunter Biden's laptop was fake. So either you're lying or you're horrible at your job. But either way you need to go. Well, you raise a good point. Hunter Biden is I don't know if you've ever heard of Kiwa Island. It's in South Carolina there apparently living in a friend's twenty million dollars mansion. This week, we know from all the reporting that has come out that there's evidence of multiple crimes on that laptop. Now I ask you, Adam KROLLA, if we had equal justice under the law, an equal application under the law in this country, would we not go and raid Hunter Biden's home. Why they've had it for two years this laptop. Christopher Ray last week acted like you knew nothing about it. They've had it for two years. So if we had equal justice, wouldn't they treat him the same way they treated Donald Trump? And by the way, that laptop implicates his father, the big guy, Joe Biden, on all of these deals. Look, first things first, it's diabolical because what they do is they slow boat these investigations, and then when they get thrown up for questioning, they go, I can't comment on an ongoing investigation. Well, what if the investigation never ends? Can't comment on it. You know, really think about how diabolical that is. We will say this house is under construction and we can't comment on it, and we'll never finish the job. And that's basically what they're doing with Hunter Biden. It's it's insane. It's also it's not their fault, though, I mean it is their fault, but this is partisan politics and they're defending their own. Where's the media on Hunter Biden? Where where is big Tech? I mean, I know what they're doing. They're canceling people and taking stories down and calling it a hoax. But the people who aren't doing their job, as if we came to the Hunter Biden story is the media. They it has all the earmarks. I get it, But listen, what do they hate most? Like, what's the mainstream media hate most? What's CNN and MSNBC. They hate nepotism, they hate rich white guys, they hate old rich white guys. They hate China, they hate Russia. It's all the route salad filled with CNN's favored subject. On the other side, you know, it's just phenomenal to me. As you watch all this unfold, you know that there are not more people on the left that see the danger in this. You know, I know you like Bill Maher and I kind of hate each other. He hates me, and I'm not a big fan of his, although it's people like me When he was doing politically incorrect and other conservatives that said that show should not get canceled. It was conservatives that are in favor of free speech. I don't want any show canceled. I don't want any comedian canceled. I think one of the reasons, and he's made this observation himself, is that conservatives are are quoting him occasionally now is because the left wing in this country has gone so far overboard. You know, the earth is going to be over in twelve years. We're not going to produce any energy domestically. But it's okay that beggar Ran and Russia and Venezuela and the saudiast and OPAC, which makes zero sense to anybody that has half a brain. And then they tell you a lecture to get an electric car, which is twenty grand more than a gas car, a gas powered car, and most Americans can't afford it, especially with the record forty one year high record of inflation and record high gas prices. Well, look, something happened to the laugh. But as I always tell people, it's called the progressive movement. It's got progress in movement right in the title. And people like you and I go, when are you ever going to pump the brakes? I mean, look some of the stuff they used to talk about eight or ten years ago. I went, yeah, that sounds all right, it makes sense, Sorr. I'm on, I'm with you on that one. But they just blew right past it, and they just keep going. And you wonder, like, what is the end game? And I don't know that there isn't an game. But it's called the progressive movement. They never pumped the brakes. It's not what they're there to do. They, you know, the conservatives want to be left alone, enjoy our family and enjoy our country, you know, pay our taxes, and don't rob any liquor stores, and we're fine. We're essentially wanting to be like the Loans. That's pretty much just don't touch my liquor store, no matter what you do. If you got a robber store, rob Target, Robert Walmart, don't rob the liquor store. Go to the scented candle shop on the corner, never going. I'm sure you're there often. How do you describe yourself politically? I've never asked you. I don't even know. I come from liberal, very strong liberal family, and so I got a front row seat. My mom was you know, welfare and food stamps. My grandmother was almost sort of a communist for a while, and I got a front row seat to that, you know, in the seventies, and I kind of realized that's not where I wanted to go. Um. I've always been a fan of sort of free market capitalism. I've also been kind of liberal. Uh so to speak on consensual crimes, you know, prostitution, drug use, things like that. You know you wanted to if you wanted to pay a lady and bring it back to the apartment, that was your business. That wasn't my business. You know. I'd like I'd like a stout border. I hate big regulation. I used to be a builder and I built in Los Angeles, California, so I know that the regulatory system can be and how stifling it can be. We have a common background. I worked in the construction a long time. Yeah, so I got a front row seat to the big you know, department of building in safety. So I'm basically conservative at economically, fiscally, sort of socially, you know, gay marriage, want to smoke pot as long as you're not hurting anybody, you know, that's fine. I just I don't like big government. I want to shrink government down, and that's about where I'm at now. That then makes me, you know, a hard right guy now in the eyes of society, But I've never been there where. I've never changed any of my views. It's just the left once so hard left that they lost a lot of people who used to be on their side of the aisle. I think it's true. Do you go further in terms of libertarianism and support legalizing all drugs? I think that would be insane. You know, Look, I live in Los Angeles. I've seen what happens when we just tell people do whatever you want. We're not getting involved. It is homeless, encampent, encampment everywhere. It's literally tense in this green plastic and plywood makeshift plywood shelters like strewn about everywhere. I understand what happens, and we've seen it in San Francisco, You've seen it in New York to some degree. Like the government can no longer just step back and say, you know, you're free to do whatever you want without it turning into what Los Angeles has turned into now. If you would have asked me twenty years ago, I probably would have warned, Yeah, I don't see what's wrong with that, but I got a front row seat to it here in Los Angeles. Yeah.

Quick break right back your calls on the other side, straight ahead, all right, twenty five now till the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn our number. You want to be a part of the program. On this Friday, Ben Carson had tweeted out, never in my lifetime did I think I would see at American law enforcement agency be run and weaponized like the FBI. This is a frightening development in our modern political arena. This is the way of Mao and Castro, not Washington and Lincoln. Now they leak to the Washington Post, and I don't believe them. This had to do with nuclear codes. So we're supposed to believe the very same people that for years kept up a lie about Trump Russia collusion that was never true. The same upper FBI agents that were never punished, that went before FISA courts and put their signature on FISA applications with the fundamental core basis of it being Killary Clinton's bought and paid for Russian dossier that has since been debunked, and even after it was debunked, they kept using it before FISA court judges. So we're supposed to believe them that this is all on the up and up. I don't buy any of it, doctor Carson, and I worry for our country. Well, it's extremely disturbing. There's no evidence whatsoever that the President Trump was not cooperative and that they couldn't have received the information that they wanted through a less dramatic way. But what really is frightening about this whole situation is good people are being sent a message, you better watch out what you say, what you do. We don't even want you running. We don't want you ruling anything because we will torture you and who will be left only the leftist And we have got to make sure that we are not intimidated, that we don't run and hide, that we become very forceful and represent what we believe, regardless of the consequences, because there are those who came before us, and they gave everything to maintain freedom. Freedom is never, as Ronald Reagan said, more than one generation away. And I think we're as close to losing it now as we have ever been. And I was talking to a human rights advocate from Romania the other day, right after the Marilago raid, and you know, she had a lot to do with bringing down to Chessco's regime, and she said that the same patterns are being seen in this country and it's very frightening. It is very frightening. At this point, what are the American people to think of this? What do you think the end goal here is? Do you suspect, as I do, that this was all a pretext to begin with, because they were there in June, they had access to everything. In June. They were not denied access to any of these boxes or any of these documents at all. To quite the contrary, they asked the president to lock them up, and he locked them up, and then the President, you know, graciously, according to numerous sources, said you feel free to come anytime you want. You're welcome. Well, that's why they're so slow and releasing information. You know, they've got to concoct a good story. And you know, it's it's just said that we've gotten to this point because the rest of the world is watching, you know, America, the great beacon of freedom and justice, and this is what they're seeing. And what hope do they half. You know, it just disturbs me enormously, and that's why I'm speaking out against it, recognizing, you know, there may be repercussions, of course, you know, they come after you for everything. But the fact of the matter is this is our country, and if we don't fight for it, who's going to fight for it? And I appreciate it Shan had been such a stret I thank you for that. Well. I appreciate your kind words. I wish I was more effective because m had I been more effective. I mean, it's kind of amazing when you think about it, when you have you know, the the entire upper apparatic, if you will, of the FBI going after one man the way they did, and it's all based on a lie, and it took three long years to unpeel every layer of the onion proving that it was a lie. And then the fact that nobody involved in this effort to undo an election in this country wherever held a count why would we expect them not to continue to push away people that they think are unfit for office. Like Peter Struck had said, you know in a text message, I want you to believe that the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office that there's no way he gets elected. This is August of twenty sixteen. But I'm afraid we can't take that risk. It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event before you die, before you're forty. You know, this was you know, Lisa Page scared today. You don't think he can win, do you? We have an insurance policy so he won't win. I mean that's scary. And at the same time, Hillary Clinton can erase thirty thousand emails as to watch the higher drive smash the telephones and there's no consequences for it. I mean, this is just a blatant double standard and it cannot be allowed to persist. And when the Republicans get an office again, and not just Republicans, but people of good will, people who love our nation, who appreciate our freedoms, when they get an office, they have to make sure that these kinds of things do not continue to occur. And it means not going after people, not just going after people for revenge, but to fix the system so that we don't have this kind of thing going on in our country. What do you think the next thing that happens here is do you think that they would try and indict the former president and the hopes of convicting him and having him in jail at the time of the next election to prevent him from running. There's a conviction, by the way, constitutionally would not prevent him from running for office. You know, this code that is being cited by Mark Elias and all these other people negates the very enumerated qualifications in the Constitution and the specific requirement for somebody not to be eligible to run, and that would be impeachment and conviction. It doesn't mention anything about being you know, maybe not following every single dotted iron cross tea and the Presidential Records Act or the National Archives Act. Well, remember what Trump represents. I mean, he has come in to the swamp. I call it a cesspool of swamps too kind. And you know, both Republicans and Democrats who are part of the establishment don't like what he represents, and that is somebody who's not going to play their games, who's not going to continue their power grant. And you know they hate him. He won't submit to them, and that's why they don't want to see him run again. And they'll do anything quite frankly, So what's coming next? Anything they can do to keep him from running? You know, you look at this this congressional hearings that they're having in January the sixth. Absurd not to have a mechanism whereby people can be cross examined. You know, it doesn't really mean anything, and I think that's why most people aren't paying attention to it. But the American people are smart enough, They're waking up, they know what is going on, and I think all of this may actually be beneficial to President Trump. Well, it's going to be interesting to watch, certainly. The American people are paying attention, and all I'm hearing is just outright disgust and anger from people. Doctor Carson, we love having you on. Thank you so much. He is now the founder chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute. How do people get in touch with you? American Cornerstone dot org. All right, sir, always a pleasure, God Bush, you and your family eight hundred and nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, let's say hi to Cleaton and Utah. Cleeton, how are you, by the way, for the people in Utah. I hope you're paying attention to Evan McMullen, and he is nothing but a Joe Biden Democratic radical climate alarmist that is dodging and ducking any tough questions from Mike Lee because Mike Lee is a constitutionalist, and every won't answer how you would have voted on the mansion Schumer bill. But anyway, putting that aside, what's going on? Sir? So when I look at this nine hour FBI rate, I cannot help would ask how Trump and Millennia could even go back there to live again. It seems like it would It would be impossible to have a private conversation, a campaign meeting. There's no way that they're going to go back there and not assume that that place has been bugged. From an FBI rate, there was nine hours long. You could, certainly, I know from my own experience, believe it in not traveling abroad in places where do we think with Singapore, Vietnam and other place. Helsinki was another place there was always a belief because you know, these hostile regimes are the way more informed than people think. They knew I would be there. They know that that I would occasionally have conversations with the former president, and there was a concern by our security that in fact, they would try to put listening devices at my room. So I know there are ways to you sweep rooms and get rid of any of these bugs. If they put him in there, I just I don't see him being able to return with full confidence. And I think that's maybe part of the plan, is to keep him isolated and keep him worried about if there's a rat or if there's an informant or anything like that. Not that there was any wrongdoing, but you know, a private conversation is a private conversation. That's not me for the public. Donald Trump is tougher than that. And I will tell you that most most normal people would would have broken by now. You can't break this guy. He has this, you know, incredible fortitude that I've never seen in a person. You know, you think of all the fire that he's been under, the Trump Russia collusion hoax for three long years, Muller impeachment one, impeachment two January six, you go through all of this. You know, all of their attempts to take him down have failed up to this point. You know, and even the FBI, you know, in putting in writing that they didn't want this man ever elected in twenty sixteen, top people in the FBI and their minions, and yet he was able to defeat them. I think when America takes a look at this, when all is said and done, in the smoke clears on this, and when we begin to compare and contrast what Joe Biden has done to destroy this country on a level that not even I anticipated. And I was trying to warn everybody what would happen. I was right. I didn't think what happened was fast. And they compare his policies that are successful. I think that I think America will vote for him again in twenty twenty four if he runs. Got my bill for sure. But they certainly don't want him to run, do they. That's the whole point. You know, It's interesting. It's gone because one of the arguments is he can't win, he's the most unelectable Republican. Then if you're if you think he's the most unelectable Republican, then you should want him as the nominee. But they know, deep down in their hearts it's not true. They fear the love the people of this country have for him at least half the country. Anyway, I appreciate the call. Kaden God Blush of Ray Chicago. What's up, Ray? How are you? Hey? Hey Schean, what a tremendous privilege to speak with you. You're a great American. I love and watch these listening every day. But the reason I'm calling is about the IRS that these eighty seven thousand new agents. I'm a CPAU. Currently the IRS is seventy eight thousand employees, so they're gonna more in double the size of the IRS. They do not currently their their systems are antiquated. Only five percent of the budget allowed going to this hiring is going to infrastructure. Okay, so you've got eighty seven thousand more users on that. Okay. Secondly, the training involved in trying to train eighty seven thousand people is going to take a very, very, very long time. This is not something you're just answering calls, you know. This is a long term play by the government and another you know, well, let me tell you what it is. It's more than multiple agencies personnel combined, and it's more than doubling the side. Let me just say this very quickly here, if you make twenty five thousand dollars or less. I bet most people did not know the Syracuse University study, you are five times more likely to be audited than anybody else. They already audit most wealthy people almost as a matter of course. You know, I can't tell you how many times, in spite of two accounting firms and a law firm, going over all of my taxes, paying every penny and then some I pay more, I overpay. You know, they still want to, you know, harass you. And but the only difference is as I can afford the accountants and the lawyers, and I let them handle it. But in spite of all of that, who you know, if you make twenty five grand or less, they want to find out you make the money on the side. Are you painting houses on the side, You're cutting lawns on the side? If are you? Are you hiding your tips? If you work in a restaurant. It's insane anyway, my friend, good call, appreciate it. Wish I had more time, But don't forget. We have a great Hannity nine Eastern with every mortgage free home. Our friends of the Tunnel, the Towers Foundation, they deliver on their promise to do good and to never forget the sacrifices America's heroes have made for us. The people that risk their lives for our country, our communities, they now need our help. We're talking about gold star and fallen first responder families with young kids, our nation's most catastrophically injured first responders and veterans, and even our homeless service members. US Marine Corps Corporal Christopher gear was a firefighter EMT was in Ashland City, Tennessee when he was deployed to Afghanistan. He was twenty five years old when he gave his life for our liberties and freedoms while serving this country. Now, Corporal Greer was survived by his wife, Stacy, their children, and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation stepped up. They paid off their family mortgage. For some families, the foundation brings the comfort of knowing they can stay in the home where they made their memories with their fall in loved ones. And for others, the foundation enables new memories to be cherished forever. It's only possible if all of us do this together. If you can commit eleven bucks a month, just go to their website. The letter T the number two, the letter T dot org. If everyone in this audience would commit to this, we could take care of every one of the people that are in need. The letter T the number two, the letter T dot org to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. All right, that's going to wrap things up with today. What a crazy week it'd spend. We got an incredible Hannity tonight nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel with the release of the Warren and the item's taken out of Marlago. We'll check in with the president's attorneys. We have new information and breaking news from John Solomon that we'll tell you about tonight. We've got Jonathan Turley, We've got Alan Dershowitz that will also be joining us. We now have learned that John Paul Mack Isaac Hunter, Biden's computer repairman, apparently was threatened, according to him, by the FBI to hush up. He's going to tell us his story tonight. Senator Tim Scott will weigh in on this and so much more news I promise you'll never get from the media mob. We'll see it tonight nine Eastern, Fox News Channel. Have a great weekend back here Monday. Thank you for making this show possible.
