00:00:00.640 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
00:00:11.980 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Friday.
00:00:16.300 We have an unbelievable pair of stories to begin the day with today involving
00:00:20.140 Democrat cheating to win elections. I was told that never happens. What do you mean?
00:00:25.960 I didn't think that was a thing. As it turns out, it's a thing. A pair of cases now involving
00:00:31.800 two states near and dear to my own heart, Connecticut and New York, and the mayor of
00:00:37.700 New York City and the would-be mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut. He is the mayor right now and he's
00:00:44.300 running in a Democratic primary and he got caught red-handed cheating. So says the court who
00:00:50.540 adjudicated his challenger's legal filing. You're not going to believe these stories. And this as
00:00:56.320 Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat running New York City right now, finds himself in a whole host of trouble.
00:01:02.620 Here's the headline from the Daily Wire, quoting from the New York Times here.
00:01:06.780 FBI launches criminal probe into whether New York City Mayor Adams received illegal donations from
00:01:14.000 Turkey and whether he conspired with a foreign government to receive illegal donations, whether
00:01:20.940 he received illegal foreign campaign contributions and tried to cover it up, while his friend over
00:01:27.560 in Bridgeport decided to stuff ballots into boxes to win a tight Democratic primary. Unbelievable stuff.
00:01:35.020 We're going to get into it with one of our favorites today, Adam Carolla. He's host of the Adam Carolla
00:01:39.980 show. Adam, great to see you. Happy Friday. Thanks. Thanks for having me. All right. So you've got to
00:01:45.960 listen to this. I'm going to start with what's happening in Bridgeport, Bridgeport, Connecticut.
00:01:51.480 There is a Democratic mayoral primary underway. There's a guy named Joe Gannam, and he's the
00:01:59.340 current Bridgeport mayor. He's being challenged by John Gomez. Both Democrats trying to get the
00:02:05.660 stem nod for the general election for mayor, which happens this Tuesday. Now, the incumbent,
00:02:11.040 Gaiman or Gannam, forgive me, I'm not in Bridgeport, but Gannam, he was leading. Sorry, he was falling
00:02:16.600 behind in the votes to his challenger, Gomez, when it came to the people who voted in person. So the
00:02:23.500 challenger was winning based on the in-person vote. But Gannam weirdly predicted, Adam, the absentee ballots
00:02:29.040 are going to break my way. You just watch. Okay, we'll wait. Lo and behold, Gaiman won the thing,
00:02:37.300 the incumbent, by 251 votes out of 8,173 that were cast. So tight. You know, about 8,200 cast,
00:02:46.420 he won by 251 votes. And guess what sealed the deal? The absentee ballots that secured his margin
00:02:53.640 of victory. This guy, Joe Gannam, happens to be just, FYI, you may find it interesting,
00:02:59.480 an ex-con. What did he do? Was it like a, you know, public urination? I don't know. Was it something
00:03:05.260 like a mild white collar felony? No. He served seven years in prison for racketeering, extortion,
00:03:15.820 accepting bribes, and kickbacks. Well, maybe that was in a job, like in the private, you know,
00:03:21.000 market, in something, you know, the private industry. No, it was as elected. It was as an
00:03:26.660 elected mayor. Back in 1991, he was in office for 12 years. Then he quit when he was caught doing all
00:03:31.300 that bad stuff. Served seven years. And then these dumbasses in Bridgeport elected him again.
00:03:35.720 I'm sorry, my fellow Connecticut residents, but that was a dumbass thing to do. He won his old job
00:03:41.100 back. And then in 2015, and then four years ago, he won a reelection. Shockingly, he's now accused of
00:03:49.400 doing something else illegal. Wait for it. Okay. Here's what happened. Gomez, the challenger,
00:03:56.280 obtained surveillance video showing a woman stuffing what appears to be, I would add,
00:04:03.900 is obviously absentee ballots into an outdoor ballot box days before the primary vote. So this
00:04:12.840 guy Gomez filed a lawsuit against city officials demanding either a new primary or just for him to
00:04:18.400 be declared the winner. Look at this woman. She's look, you can see she is putting, if you are not
00:04:24.180 watching this on YouTube, go back later. You can see this woman in her long dress, clearly stuffing
00:04:29.220 handfuls. I mean, thick handfuls. Her hands are wide, widely spread into the ballot box. And we know
00:04:37.460 exactly who it was. It's Wanda Getter-Pataki, vice chairwoman of the Bridgeport Democratic Town
00:04:45.160 Committee and a supporter of the incumbent mayor. She was asked to testify in court about whether she
00:04:53.260 did it, whether she supports this incumbent mayor, whether that's her on the tape. And guess what she
00:04:58.320 did? 71 times. She pleaded the fifth. She pleaded the fifth about everything. She doesn't know
00:05:04.780 anything. She now is on leave from her job as a city employee. Wanda Getter-Pataki is seen as
00:05:12.640 follows. Stuffing ballots into the drop box first on the day of the primary at 542 AM. That's when all
00:05:20.700 above board conduct happens. As you know, Adam, you know, if you're just going to innocently
00:05:25.840 deposit your family members ballots, you go at 542 AM. Then she circles back at 543 AM,
00:05:33.720 one minute later and dumps more, more ballots off. There's so many in her hands. She had to go make
00:05:38.680 two trips. Then apparently not satisfied with that. 638 AM. She comes back again. She drops a third set
00:05:48.420 of ballots off in the same ballot box. And then 717 AM, a fourth deposit this time of ballots she had
00:05:57.640 given to a man. And the man stuffs them in this ballot box. She wasn't the only one. These are the
00:06:04.260 only ones we have on cam. Another woman named Inida Martinez, a candidate for city council,
00:06:11.340 also asserted her Fifth Amendment rights not to incriminate herself when she was asked whether
00:06:17.640 she took custody of absentee ballots that did not belong to her. So they had a long hearing before
00:06:24.160 Superior Court Judge William Clark. And Judge Clark just found, I think a day ago, that these call the
00:06:34.160 results of the primary election into serious doubt. They leave the court unable to determine the
00:06:37.640 legitimate result of the primary. The videos, quote, are shocking to the court and should be
00:06:42.000 shocking to all parties. He cited statistics showing the abnormally large numbers of absentee ballots
00:06:48.740 that had been cast in certain voting districts. So it was not just one. It was multiple. And now,
00:06:56.200 as a result of all this, we're proceeding to the general election on Tuesday. The judge says that
00:07:05.200 there should be a new primary. But the general is this Tuesday, Adam. And so these two guys,
00:07:12.820 the accused cheater and the guy who got screwed, Gomez, are going to face off. Gomez is going to
00:07:20.060 appear as an independent. Gainem, the incumbent alleged cheater, is going to appear on the ticket
00:07:25.420 as the Democratic nominee. And there's a Republican to David Hertz who will run. So if the guy who got
00:07:31.140 screwed wins the mayoral race, he's going to abandon this whole thing. If the guy who got screwed loses
00:07:38.460 to the cheating Dem, then he says he's going to enforce the demand for a new primary and the mayoral
00:07:43.600 ship is going to have to take a step back, redo the primary. I don't know what that means for the
00:07:47.980 Republican, but my God, we were told this is an impossibility and that you're a lunatic fringer.
00:07:55.700 If you believe things like 2000 mules, Dinesh D'Souza's film that tries to document suspicious
00:08:02.160 ballot drops in the presidential race of 2020, not saying it necessarily happened,
00:08:06.440 but it's caught red handed on camera here in Connecticut. Your reaction?
00:08:12.300 Well, we just need election day. I mean, it's insane that we spread it out. You know,
00:08:18.660 I'm in California. We do ballot harvesting here. There's just no excuse for it because the public
00:08:26.540 is always going to call the election into question. If you spread it out over days, weeks and months,
00:08:35.080 if there's ballot harvesting, if there's all this absentee balloting, it just needs to be election day.
00:08:42.740 And if there's issues with election day, like, well, certain neighborhoods have less precincts and
00:08:48.360 the lines are longer, then let's focus on that. But the notion of doing it by mail opens the door
00:08:56.560 to this. And of course, it's going to happen. Look, I think we figured out that politicians are some of
00:09:04.440 the least honest people on the planet and they want to win in any modes, you know, by hook or by crook.
00:09:11.340 So let's not give them options. You know what I mean? Like, let's shrink the window for options
00:09:18.680 for them to cheat. And if you just did election day and maybe you tweak a few things, maybe it's
00:09:25.480 a federal day where no one has to go to work. Maybe you extend the hours. Maybe you have election
00:09:30.960 mobiles that show up mobily into neighborhoods that have less precincts to vote in and less places to go
00:09:39.280 to. But let's just have election day and then we could count the ballots that night and we could
00:09:44.220 all go to bed knowing who the president was or who the mayor was. At a minimum, we need to get cameras
00:09:53.080 on every drop box in America that that should be a bare minimum. OK, you want to do absentee ballots.
00:10:00.080 That's fine. Every single one has to have a camera that is intact and working on election day so we
00:10:07.200 can make sure we just monitor it. That's fine. You want to do it? Great. It's going to be like the ATM
00:10:11.140 camera, your face and your hands and what you're depositing up close and personal so we can check
00:10:17.760 if suspicious things like this happened after the fact. If we get, as this judge found,
00:10:23.820 an unusual ballot dump in terms of volume, in particular ballot boxes, that seems pretty
00:10:31.080 straightforward. We had Dinesh D'Souza on after 2000 Mules came out. And I have to tell you,
00:10:35.700 one of my left leaning, respectable lawyer friends gave me shit for it. Like, why would you put him on?
00:10:43.820 That's beneath you. It's absurd. That's obviously all a lie. And I know I said, what's your evidence?
00:10:48.880 It's a lie. We don't know that it's a lie. Have you gone and checked all those ballot boxes? Have
00:10:52.760 you watched the movie? Of course, he had not watched the movie. And I'll show if people haven't
00:10:58.340 seen Dinesh D'Souza's 2000 Mules. It does raise some very interesting questions. He doesn't have it
00:11:02.120 red handed, but he's got a lot of interesting incidents of what looks like nefarious behavior at
00:11:09.780 ballot boxes on, on camera. Uh, and here's a soundbite from, from that. Watch it.
00:11:16.340 What you're going to see is he approaches the drop box on his bike.
00:11:20.700 He also has a backpack on, pulled the ballots out of his backpack, taking his time, taking his time,
00:11:28.020 digging around, looking for some ballots, finally gets that, pulls them out. Okay. Now I'm set
00:11:33.200 up, and he'll put them in. But you also see him get sort of frustrated as he starts to leave,
00:11:41.260 because guess what? At this point, they had started requiring the mules, apparently,
00:11:46.920 to take pictures of the stuffing of the ballots. It appears that that's how they get paid.
00:11:51.980 So they take a picture and stuff it in. They take a picture, not a selfie, but a picture of the,
00:11:58.040 the actual ballot going in. But this guy gets frustrated. So he actually has to park his bike,
00:12:03.440 get off. So if you were there just casting your own ballot, what reason in the world would you have
00:12:09.320 to come back and take a picture of the box?
00:12:12.760 So interesting. And listen, when I talked to, when I talked to Trump, you know, a couple of months
00:12:20.280 ago, whatever, six, whenever it was, I asked him, what's the plan to unrig the next election that you
00:12:25.280 say was rigged in 2020? And he didn't really have one, Adam. And I don't think the Republicans have
00:12:29.920 done all that much since 2020 to shore up election integrity at all. Well, I mean, let's just
00:12:37.360 look at it from 10,000 feet. So, you know, ballot harvesting or stuffing absentee ballots or mules or
00:12:47.260 something like that. And the Democrats go, that's impossible. That never happened. Okay. So we're
00:12:53.920 saying conceptually, the Democrats aren't capable of trying to cheat or rig an election. Is that what
00:13:00.340 we're saying? Because there's a Steele dossier and there's a whole Russian collusion, PP tape,
00:13:07.360 FBI, go after Trump. Hillary Clinton's campaign came up with the Steele dossier and that entire
00:13:15.800 narrative. So is she not capable of doing anything that's untoward or that could possibly cross over
00:13:24.460 and over the threshold of being maybe illegal or tampering with the election? Hunter Biden's laptop,
00:13:32.640 FBI had it months in advance. They knew it was real. You got every single one of those experts from the FBI
00:13:40.420 and the CIA and the security experts, 51 of them, to sign a document saying it had all the earmarks of
00:13:46.020 Russian collusion. So are you guys not capable of tampering with an election? You're just so above the fray
00:13:53.480 that you would never lower yourself into doing this. Just let the people vote. We're not going to get
00:13:58.560 involved. I think you've made it quite apparent that you're able to get involved and you're willing to get
00:14:04.600 involved quite a bit. So ballot stuffing is just the sort of mechanical representation of what you're
00:14:13.780 trying to do all the time anyway. I mean, lying, all of you taking the story down, controlling big tech, is
00:14:21.760 that's not all that's not election tampering. That's the digital version of election tampering.
00:14:27.680 This is just a physical manifestation of it. But of course, if you'd engage in one, you'd happily engage in the
00:14:33.740 other. Right, right. Why is that such a difficult thing to imagine? And for honestly, the Republicans to start
00:14:41.520 actively working to plot against, you know, I think we're all in the same position as we stand a year out from the
00:14:48.760 next presidential election that we were three years ago. Very little has changed. And there doesn't seem
00:14:55.200 to be a plan to change much between now and then. So hope you liked the results of the last election
00:14:59.980 because you're probably going to get a lot more just like it. Here is the Mayor Adams story, which is
00:15:05.040 also is not no bueno for him. Let me give you the background. He showed up yesterday in New York City.
00:15:14.520 Right. It was yesterday, I think. Sorry. In in in D.C., he had an urgent meeting with President Biden
00:15:20.800 yesterday with and some other mayors who are pissed off about the influx of illegal immigrants
00:15:26.220 in their cities. New York, Chicago, L.A., Denver, Houston mayors all meeting. Of course, what do they
00:15:32.840 want? More security at the border? No, no. They want more federal money to handle the migrants and they
00:15:40.000 want expedited approval for the illegal migrants to begin working in their cities. You know,
00:15:45.680 it's so ridiculous. I mean, I just not for nothing. And I realize this is like a rich person's
00:15:49.400 problem. But like I was talking to my housekeeper, who I love. She's been with me for 13 years
00:15:53.100 and she came to this country legally. She got a green card. She's been working legally ever since
00:15:58.020 her husband needed help getting a green card. It took them months and months and months and months.
00:16:04.040 I mean, years. It took them so much money to get him his green card. I helped them out, too. It's
00:16:09.980 like this. This poor guy was trying to jump through the proper hoops so he could work here in the
00:16:13.760 country legally. And now he can. But my point is they're like they look at this like with what is
00:16:19.680 this bullshit? These people came in illegally. They didn't check any of the boxes. And now you've got
00:16:24.940 all these mayors working to expedite their working permits for they get rewarded for breaking the law
00:16:32.960 and not doing it the way, you know, people who did it the right way did. It's just it's enraging and it's
00:16:40.000 incentivizing to bad behavior. Well, also, in terms of solving a problem, look at it this way. You have
00:16:48.420 this porous border and you have all these illegals pouring through the porous border and then they're
00:16:53.480 getting shipped to Chicago, New York and Houston and places that are progressive now who were sanctuary
00:16:59.840 cities, except for not so much. It's all talk. But now they want to know what to do with these
00:17:07.340 people. They need more money for housing and social services, schooling, medical, so on and so forth.
00:17:14.000 But essentially what those mayors are saying is, is we have a leaky ship. Our ship is taking on water.
00:17:21.880 The Republicans are saying we need to patch the side of the ship to stop the water from coming in.
00:17:30.200 That's where it that's where it's emanating from. That's where it's coming from. Let's patch it.
00:17:35.020 It's easier to patch it. And the Democrats are saying we need more bilge pumps to pump the water
00:17:41.040 out once it enters the hull of the ship. And I'm saying, why don't we just patch the side of the
00:17:48.320 ship? And they're going, no, no. We need to spend 20 times as much with pumps to pump the water back
00:17:55.720 out. That's basically what we're dealing with. It makes perfect sense. So this is amazing. So
00:18:02.320 there they are in D.C. and they're going to meet. They're asking for an additional five
00:18:05.960 billion in federal funding to help manage the crisis. That's more than even. Yeah, for the
00:18:13.140 bilge pump. And that's more than Joe Biden even proposed. He wants 60 billion for Ukraine.
00:18:16.920 He wants 14 and a half billion for Israel. And he wants four billion to secure our border.
00:18:21.860 Four billion. And not even to secure our border. It's basically for more staff to process the
00:18:26.380 asylum claims. So these guys want five billion, these mayors, to help the illegals get jobs and
00:18:32.840 get settled in their cities. And they also want to speed up the adjudication of asylum claims.
00:18:37.420 No one's talking about actually patching up the ship. So there he is. And by the way,
00:18:42.960 just not for nothing, but September 2023 was the highest monthly total ever of illegals crossing
00:18:48.740 the southern border. Two hundred and seventy thousand. When I was at Fox, which was only
00:18:52.920 what, seven years ago or so, if they hit a hundred thousand in migrant crossings, illegal crossings
00:18:58.220 on the southern border in a month, it was huge. It was one hundred percent going to be our lead
00:19:02.240 that night. That was a huge number. Two hundred and seventy thousand last month alone to September
00:19:09.360 alone. All right. So here's where I get to Mayor Adams. National Review.
00:19:14.240 Uh, OK, weird twist to Adams's planned visit to D.C. That's my staff's note to me.
00:19:20.340 Eric Adams cancels White House migrant crisis meetings as FBI raids his top fundraisers.
00:19:28.240 Oh, you can't make this shit up. All right. So here's his story now. He was in D.C. for a series
00:19:36.020 of meetings and then he had to abruptly cancel all of those appointments and return to New York City
00:19:42.360 after the FBI raided the home of Brianna Suggs, a close associate and chief fundraiser of the mayors.
00:19:51.780 A person with knowledge of the raid on Suggs's Brooklyn home told New York Times,
00:19:56.360 the New York Times, that agents from the FBI's public corruption unit questioned Suggs at her home
00:20:02.100 and at and and the home itself was searched. Campaign finance filings show that Suggs has been
00:20:07.960 paid more than one hundred fifty thousand by Adams since twenty twenty one through her company for
00:20:11.620 campaign consultant consulting and fundraising. The neighbor said, I heard screaming inside the
00:20:17.880 apartment. I heard helicopters as the FBI were searching. That's a big deal. They don't show up to
00:20:23.760 with helicopters if you haven't paid your taxes on time. The house is now boarded up, says the
00:20:30.340 neighbor. Suggs registered registered lobbyist was paid by a real estate firm to lobby the mayor's
00:20:35.980 office and the New York City Council in twenty twenty two. She worked as an aide to Adams when he
00:20:40.520 was Brooklyn Borough president before he became mayor. And then the mayor's spokesperson, when asked
00:20:46.460 about Adam's sudden departure from the Capitol, said, oh, it was unrelated to the rate of his chief
00:20:51.920 fundraiser, quote, the mayor is returning to New York City to address a matter. Wow. He needs to address
00:21:01.560 a matter, but definitely not that matter. So let me just give you the back piece of it and I'll give
00:21:06.340 it to you. Now, the follow up here. New York Times reporting today that this is a criminal public
00:21:14.200 corruption investigation into whether his twenty twenty one election campaign conspired with a foreign
00:21:20.760 government, specifically Turkey, to receive illegal donations. The Times obtained a copy of the search
00:21:27.880 warrant that the FBI used when it raided his top fundraisers home, Brianna Sugg's home. And the
00:21:33.540 investigation focused on whether the campaign conspired with the Turkish government to receive
00:21:38.480 illegal campaign contributions to get Mayor Adams into office. The FBI sees multiple iPhones and laptops
00:21:45.820 from her house, including numerous documents and other pieces of evidence, including a folder labeled Eric Adams
00:21:52.640 and several contribution card binders. Adams has not yet been accused directly of any wrongdoing, but he did
00:22:01.820 immediately cancel all the meetings, as I mentioned. So this is bad that the concentric circles of law enforcement
00:22:09.300 are zeroing in. And let me tell you, they don't start with the mayor on an investigation like this. They start
00:22:16.120 with the outside circle and they get closer and closer to him. So that is the other matter, undoubtedly, that he
00:22:23.400 came back for. And it stinks to high heaven. Adam, it stinks. You and I were sitting here like a bunch of chumps
00:22:29.880 thinking we can trust the electoral process somewhat thinking, oh, the guy, you know, I may not be my choice, but he won
00:22:36.180 fair and square. He's in office. Bullshit. This guy may have been taking illegal campaign donations to get
00:22:41.380 the office. The other guy in Bridgeport, Connecticut, it's out there stuffing ballot boxes. So says his
00:22:47.040 opponent and the judge finds there are enough. There's enough evidence for a new election. It's how widespread
00:22:51.980 is it? How bad can we even possibly imagine this might be?
00:22:57.000 Well, I was just sitting here thinking about a New York Post headline for this story, and I think jive
00:23:03.660 Turkey would be a pretty good, pretty good headline for this one. Um, I just now assume it's everywhere,
00:23:12.400 uh, which is, which is sad. I mean, how much faith have you lost in our system, whether it be the CDC
00:23:22.060 or the WHO or the FBI or the CIA? Like how much faith have you lost in this in just like the last three
00:23:30.800 and a half years? I was pretty good. Almost everything. If you would have talked to me 10
00:23:38.040 minutes ago about the CDC, I'd be like, it's a group of experts who understand everything and you
00:23:43.740 should listen to them. And I felt that way about most politicians growing up. I felt that way about
00:23:49.720 the system in general. You know, I believe the food pyramid that, you know, I, I was down with all
00:23:57.800 of it. And no, I don't believe any, I mean, the food pyramid turned out to be a lie. Everything.
00:24:04.340 What the hell? They were stuffing us full of bread all day, every day.
00:24:08.360 They were like, don't use butter, use margarine and eat tons of whole grain. Don't touch any protein,
00:24:15.460 like the exact opposite of the truth. It's insane. And I guess I was thinking about this. I was talking
00:24:23.080 about it on my podcast the other day, which is I was saying, look, at the time the stuff came out,
00:24:30.120 we sort of bought into it. So the food pyramid came out and we're eating seven, seven meals. There
00:24:38.660 are seven portions of whole grain every day, just a little bit of protein and using margarine instead
00:24:45.740 of butter and using skim milk instead of whole milk or cream. And we bought into it. I said, at the time
00:24:51.720 we believed in it. Now you look back at it after 20 years, 30 years, and you go, oh my God, they're
00:24:58.500 wrong about everything. Well, just picture moving ahead now, 30 years and looking back at the CDC,
00:25:06.520 Rochelle Walensky, at Fauci, at the Hunter Biden laptop, at Joe Biden, never spoke to my son about
00:25:14.380 any business dealings at any time. Just look back. And we're going to look back at this time,
00:25:19.960 30 years from now, like we look at the food pyramid now, which is, oh my God, what were you
00:25:25.520 thinking? They were wrong about everything and they lied about everything. Yes. I saw you. You
00:25:31.460 were, you were upset about Nancy Pelosi's daughter, right? Explaining why there's such a divide in the
00:25:40.600 country and how the right half of the country is utterly confused and what they really need to do
00:25:46.500 to better educate themselves. Yes. Yeah. I was watching her on Mar, um, a couple of weeks ago and
00:25:56.740 it, but it's not just her. It's a sort of common refrain from the more moderate Democrats where they
00:26:04.520 go, look, the people who disagree with us, they're not bad people. They're hardworking, they're family
00:26:11.240 oriented, maybe they're God fearing, they're patriotic. They're not bad people. They just get
00:26:16.440 fed all this erroneous information. And what they're kind of saying is they're not sophisticated.
00:26:22.520 They don't have college degrees. They're not as smart as we are. And they buy into all these lies.
00:26:28.440 And all we need to do is get them off of their, their sources of information. They never really say
00:26:35.920 exactly what it is. They're never specific because you could shoot holes in that. They just explain.
00:26:41.260 And it's inferred that people like you or Tucker Carlson or Fox News or Ben Shapiro, or even people
00:26:47.320 like me, Joe Rogan, whomever, we may be the people that are peddling these lies. And they go, if we could
00:26:53.620 just move them over from this stream of sort of right wing provocateurs, then they could get the real
00:27:00.300 information and then they would join us. But if you go back just 15 minutes and you look at what
00:27:07.700 the information was, they got it all wrong. They got it all wrong about Hunter Biden's laptop. They got
00:27:13.920 it all wrong about everything. COVID shut the schools, shut the beaches in California, shut the play
00:27:19.920 schools, shut the yards, the playgrounds, shut everything down. They got all that wrong. They got
00:27:25.920 everything wrong about the vaccine. At least everything they claimed about the vaccine was
00:27:30.460 wrong. They literally got everything wrong either by being stupid or by lying. And now after getting
00:27:39.000 everything wrong, and it could be everything from COVID to, you know, Kyle Rittenhouse. Oh, he was a racist
00:27:47.100 who went to Wisconsin to kill or the Covington Catholic boy or George Floyd.
00:27:52.840 Jussie Spillett. Jussie Spillett. They get everything wrong. And then they have the balls
00:27:59.080 to look into a camera and go, if you just start listening to us, then we could guide you toward
00:28:05.200 the truth. It's insane. It's like, it's like some fat nutritionist going, if you just look at the food
00:28:13.080 pyramid, then you'd understand. It's like, no, you were wrong. Just apologize. And by the way,
00:28:20.360 it's insulting for me to go, oh, so if I just watch MSNBC, then I would get everything right about
00:28:26.920 COVID. And I would get everything right about Hunter Biden's laptop. And I'd get everything
00:28:31.660 right about Jussie Spillett or any, any racial incident that involved a cop in a, in a person of
00:28:39.340 color. So I'll just watch MSNBC and I'll know everything. Oh, what about the hospital that was
00:28:45.320 bombed by Israel? Remember when Israel fired rockets into that hospital, killed 500 people
00:28:52.080 in the hospital. I should have got my information from you, MSNBC. So that's what she's saying.
00:28:57.640 And basically I realized everything is projection. Everything is projection. Now she's literally
00:29:05.740 watching and getting her news from entities that are brainwashing her. And she's saying,
00:29:12.720 come on over and be brainwashed with me. Well, continuing with the theme of Democrats embarrassing
00:29:21.900 themselves, um, and cheating inappropriately to get what they want. Sam Bankman freed was found guilty
00:29:30.260 by a jury last night. Uh, not a surprise. We've been covering the trial a bit here on the show,
00:29:35.360 but he was found guilty of fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. Seven counts in all. He, uh,
00:29:43.000 reportedly did not show much emotion. His parents looked distraught. It only took the jury of nine
00:29:48.300 women and three men, four hours of deliberation on Thursday to reach their verdict. They knew
00:29:52.380 they knew what he had done. It was very clear. The crushing testimony included his ex-girlfriend
00:30:00.000 and the head of his related investment fund Alameda, which was supposed to be making investments with
00:30:06.840 people's money, but instead they were hemorrhaging dough and they quote borrowed money from Sam Bankman
00:30:12.800 Fried's crypto, um, currency line, his, his exchange FTX to cover their losses, which is a hard no,
00:30:19.340 no. And Caroline Ellison, who ran the investment firm testified to it all. She testified. I felt this
00:30:25.580 sense of relief, uh, when he had been caught that I didn't have to lie anymore and that I could start
00:30:31.460 taking responsibility, even though I felt indescribably bad three days on the witness stand,
00:30:35.920 uh, two other top executives, uh, on, on the stand saying similar things about him. It was very clear
00:30:41.680 that they were committing a fraud and they knew it. They knew it. They knew what they were doing was
00:30:45.600 totally illegal. Uh, one year ago, Adam, he was worth one year ago. Think about this.
00:30:51.760 He was worth more than $20 billion and the absolute darling of the left because he was donating to
00:31:00.860 all of their favorite causes. Here's from Gravian, a mashup of some of what was being said about the
00:31:07.480 guy, uh, just a bit over a year ago. Sam Bankman Freed is really becoming the industry's lifeline
00:31:15.240 during a crisis lately. I'm fascinated, endlessly fascinated with Sam Bankman Freed's role in all
00:31:20.320 of this. You've been now described as the JP Morgan, if you will, of the crypto business.
00:31:24.860 A lot of people called you, um, the savior of crypto, the patron saint of crypto, the Michael
00:31:29.980 Jordan of crypto, if you will. Sam Bankman Freed. Sam Bankman Freed, the JP Morgan of?
00:31:34.620 Sam Bankman Freed, SBF, JPM. Do you know SBF? I think it's cool that the guy has just initials,
00:31:39.740 uh, SBF. Some on Twitter calling him the hero right now of the industry. There's comparisons
00:31:44.080 to Warren Buffett back in the financial crisis. Well, he's going to be going to prison for a very
00:31:51.500 long time. He faces over 110 years based on these felonies, but under the federal sentencing
00:31:56.360 guideline, according to most formal federal prosecutors, could be actually sentenced. It'll
00:32:00.720 happen in March from anywhere to 10 to 15 to 30 to 40 years in prison. I mean, it's, he's facing
00:32:08.100 serious prison time now in the federal system. It's not going to be pleasant and he will file
00:32:13.420 an appeal, but it does not look likely he's going to get out of it. You know who Sam Bankman Freed may
00:32:19.160 be the Democrats, uh, darling who's going to prison, but second and third are Michael Avenatti
00:32:26.540 and Harvey Weinstein. Those are the two other guys that they put up on a pedestal whose ass
00:32:33.860 they kiss the most. You remember Michael Avenatti when he was going on the few? Oh, I wonder if he's
00:32:39.640 single. They're such idiots. First off, they always talk about the rich need to pay their fair share.
00:32:47.300 This guy's all about the money. They're all about the money. They suck up to any money and they always
00:32:53.660 get the character wrong of these people. I mean, literally Sam Bankman Freed, Michael Avenatti and
00:33:01.100 Weinstein all in prison. And those were their gods on the left. So maybe you need to recalibrate
00:33:08.700 just a little bit. If you think these people are the best people on the planet and you suck up to
00:33:14.380 them and they all end up being horrible and put into prison, maybe you need a little recalibrating
00:33:20.400 ladies of the view. Yeah. And you know what else? The members of the press, you know, that was all,
00:33:25.580 those are all journalists I was showing there on CNBC. Where's your skepticism? Where is your
00:33:31.860 natural dislike for people in authority? That's how our profession journalism was built. You know,
00:33:38.620 guys who are working class dudes who are shoving dimes into phones to try to get their connections
00:33:43.560 made to spill dirt on corrupt politicians and assholes like Sam Bankman Freed or taking care
00:33:49.340 of the little guys in too many instances where right. Instead, they just want to they want access
00:33:55.200 to the power. You know, they want to be part of the crew. Those CNBC years like, oh, yeah,
00:34:00.660 look at him. Oh, it's so cool that you need to have a healthy disdain for the people in power you
00:34:07.040 are covering and their failure to do it both at CNBC in this instance and across the board when it
00:34:12.100 comes to politicians on both sides is part of the problem that we're facing right now.
00:34:18.080 Well, I think the bigger problem and you're 100 percent correct. But what I'm saying is,
00:34:24.040 you can't choose a side as a journalist. You can't have a healthy disdain for Donald Trump
00:34:31.500 and Ron DeSantis and and while trying to lift up and fluff up people on the left or people associated
00:34:41.420 with people on the left or people who make huge donations to people you're trying to fluff up on
00:34:47.200 the left. That's the problem. The problem is the disparity. If you just fluffed up both sides,
00:34:52.780 at least you be consistent. But what you're doing is calling yourself a journalist and attacking one
00:34:59.840 side and turning a blind eye or worse to the other side. So you're basically saying what we just got
00:35:07.360 done seeing as a jerk, you know, as far as journalists goes, is four years of them attacking
00:35:13.380 Trump for Russian collusion and then three years of them turning a blind eye to Joe Biden's collusion
00:35:20.940 with the same players, essentially. So you're saying one does exist, except for it didn't exist.
00:35:27.560 And the other doesn't exist, except for it does exist. That's the part that makes you a horrible
00:35:34.380 journalist. If you were just agnostic on both of them or you want after both of them with equal
00:35:40.120 energy, then we'd be OK. But you don't do that. You protect one. You attack another.
00:35:46.620 That's the time we're living in. More with Adam Carolla after this quick break. He's with us
00:35:52.860 for the show today. Don't go away. Adam, Ron DeSantis in the news for a very weird reason.
00:36:03.960 We talked about it yesterday because, to be honest, I just kind of needed a break from the
00:36:07.080 darkness of the news these past few weeks. And it's a fun, silly story about whether he has secret
00:36:13.020 lifts in his boots. And there's a follow up, believe it or not, to this segment that we did.
00:36:20.180 It wasn't our original segment. It was all over. Trump put it out there. And then Politico did a
00:36:25.620 big write up hiring a fashion writer to actually do the article. And then he brought in three boot
00:36:30.760 experts from across the United States to analyze DeSantis's boots. And why do they, if you look at the
00:36:36.380 boots, here's my hand, they kind of turn up at the end, like where the toe is, suggesting that
00:36:41.520 there's no toe in there. Because why? Because his foot is actually like this inside the boot, like
00:36:47.560 upward, the way a woman's heel would be on a pump. And he's doing this because he's reportedly shorter
00:36:54.560 than the 5'11", he claims, and he wants to look 5'11". So in addition to the two-inch heel he has on the
00:36:58.980 actual boot, you can see from the outside, there's a secret lift from the inside. I'll give you, just in
00:37:04.820 case you weren't watching, a flavor of how this has been going down in the media. Will Cain, who we
00:37:10.280 love over from Fox News, he did a bit on DeSantis's boots. And he's a DeSantis fan, but here's what he
00:37:17.460 said on it in Stop 25. And this one is about a one and a quarter inch heel. Ron DeSantis's external
00:37:24.260 heel looks a little bit bigger than this heel. That's fine. You want a little bit higher external
00:37:29.800 heel? That's fine. The question is, is he got a lift inside designed to give him another two inches.
00:37:37.600 So that, again, if you're listening instead of watching, I'm drawing a line, a diagonal line from
00:37:43.240 where the heel of the boot meets the instep up towards the back of the heel, right? To lift you up another
00:37:48.660 couple of inches. Your big toe knuckle, it should hit about right here. DeSantis's looks like it's hitting
00:37:55.160 about back here, way back about the middle of the boot. Not the right place for a knuckle,
00:38:01.340 unless you were lifting it up into an extreme diagonal. Ron DeSantis's toes aren't going up
00:38:06.260 toward the front of his boot. And they're not because he's lifting it up at an extreme diagonal
00:38:10.860 from an internal lift. Verdict? Yes, Ron DeSantis is wearing lifts.
00:38:18.500 Hmm. Okay. So that's his take on it. I'll show you the boots. We'll show you the video where he's
00:38:24.120 walking a little strange V7 where he's like walking across the stage. It doesn't look like a normal
00:38:28.360 walk at him. I'm going to be honest. I don't see, I don't know men who walk like this. I like Ron
00:38:32.100 DeSantis, but it's a weird, can we see this? Yeah. Look, it's just sort of an odd little,
00:38:36.180 I'm not sure what's happening there. It does look a little bit like a woman who's learning how to walk
00:38:39.640 on heels. I'm not going to lie. Like the governor would vote for him, but something going on there.
00:38:45.220 And then, then Josh Holmes of the Ruthless podcast was here yesterday with Tom Bevin of Real Clear
00:38:52.740 Politics. And Josh Holmes, who's a political consultant, his job, day job is to like advise
00:38:58.400 people on how to get elected Republicans. And here's, because DeSantis originally said something
00:39:03.340 like, this is a ridiculous controversy. This paper Politico or whoever's writing about this
00:39:08.340 isn't worth anything other than like birdcage liner. He was a little bit more articulate than
00:39:13.240 that in their defense. And Josh Holmes came on the program yesterday and had some advice
00:39:17.020 for the governor on how to handle this. And one of the reasons I've been sort of bearish
00:39:23.260 on where DeSantis' campaign is with an awful lot of this stuff is that they have some sensitivity to
00:39:28.400 doing that back, certainly to Donald Trump. And when you have one side that is willing to deploy
00:39:34.440 every tactic in the book and get the national conversation about whether he's wearing lifts,
00:39:41.280 and you're not willing to say like, I'm going to take my lift and shove it up your fat ass.
00:39:46.220 Like, it's, it's a one sided discussion. Like you can never get out of it, come out on the next
00:39:53.360 debate stage on stilts or something. You know, I mean, just make a whole the whole thing a clown show
00:39:58.360 out of it. I'm sure people would love that. Well, guess what happened? It wasn't that quote
00:40:03.820 exactly, but DeSantis went on Newsmax, I think with our pal Eric Bolling, and look what he said
00:40:10.080 last night. This is no time for foot fetishes. We've got serious problems as a country. You know,
00:40:16.480 Donald Trump can summon the balls to show up to the debate. I'll wear a boot on my head.
00:40:21.360 This is a time for substance. This is a time for us to debate the issues that matter to the American
00:40:27.100 people. He said balls, he's getting serious. So what do you make a boot gate? And whether it's a,
00:40:35.640 why are we talking about it? Why are so many people interested in it?
00:40:38.800 Well, first off, full disclosure, I'm wearing a Spanx and a pushup bra right now.
00:40:43.640 You're my man.
00:40:45.040 Oh, I just don't want to get, you know, fragged online as being a hypocrite.
00:40:51.220 Um, okay. It definitely seems like he's got something in there. Forget about what's in the
00:40:58.620 boot. Choosing to wear cowboy boots in general is 99% short guys trying to get a couple of extra
00:41:07.700 inches just in their shoe. Because if you just wear flat dress shoes, whatever, you don't get as much,
00:41:14.760 you know, Sylvester Stallone is a short guy. He's always wearing boots everywhere. Boots are
00:41:20.560 uncomfortable. They're not great for walking around. And the really, the only reason I, if you
00:41:26.360 did some sort of boot survey, you'd find that 86% of boot wearing was done by guys under six foot
00:41:33.920 and almost zero was done by guys over six foot. So interesting. I did not know that. I mean,
00:41:40.040 you're accepting, I assume actual cowboys and people who work on ranches and with horses where
00:41:45.680 it's what you must wear. Yes. I'm, I'm going to back out actual cowboys and certain members of gay
00:41:53.940 parades. The rest, the rest of us would wear, I'm sure. And I don't wear cowboy boots. Cowboy boots are
00:42:02.800 uncomfortable to walk around it. Uncomfortable. Only do it if you needed the height. Like I did
00:42:09.740 radio many years ago with Danny Bonaduce from the Partridge family. He was a short guy. He wore
00:42:16.480 cowboy boots every day. I wore tennis shoes every day. But if I were the short guy, I'd probably wear
00:42:22.800 cowboy boots. And if he was a tall guy, he'd be wearing tennis shoes. So just the presence of cowboy
00:42:29.220 boots suggests a little Napoleon situation going on. Well, I didn't know anything about the boot lift
00:42:38.460 controversy. I was just watching DeSantis wearing cowboy boots in a suit. And I, I didn't know
00:42:47.620 anything about the lips. I've just thought, well, that's an odd choice. Cowboy boots in a suit,
00:42:52.540 but maybe he's in Wyoming talking to ranchers or something like that. He's, he's not, he's from,
00:43:00.880 you know, he, he's in Florida. Obviously Florida isn't Houston. It's not Wyoming. You know what I'm
00:43:06.840 saying? So where'd the cowboy boots come from in the first place? You choose to wear cowboy boots when
00:43:13.000 you have issues about your height. Now, if you want to add a second story to your cowboy boots,
00:43:18.080 well, that's maybe what he did. But the fact that he even chooses to wear cowboy boots suggests to me
00:43:25.640 that height is an issue for him. That being said, who cares? I would much rather have a 5'5 Joe Biden
00:43:34.480 who knew what the fuck he was doing than a 6'9 Joe Biden whose acts how he acts to that.
00:43:40.500 Exactly. Either Ron DeSantis at worst and not that it's bad to be shorter, but at worst is five foot
00:43:49.320 nine. And he should be like, hello, I served in the Navy Jag Corps. Suck it five nine. I went over
00:43:57.300 to Iraq. I realized he wasn't on the front lines, but obviously he's a guy with courage who served his
00:44:02.180 country on who gives a shit how tall he is, but he cares if this is true. And I guess it just is a
00:44:08.340 window into a certain level of vanity or insecurity, which is probably present in most of our
00:44:14.140 politicians. You're going to think Barack Obama was an incredibly vain and insecure. I don't believe
00:44:19.220 it. Trump too. You know, he's always got like the hair has to be just ready to go into a tanning bed
00:44:24.320 for God's sake. Um, I don't know. I think it's a common trait amongst our politicians in particular
00:44:30.160 at the presidential candidates. No, I agree. And I think, well, first off, I mean, DeSantis isn't wrong
00:44:36.640 when they do those surveys of like fortune 500 CEOs, you know, 95% of them are over six foot tall.
00:44:46.480 So there is an actual sort of baked in bias. If you ask the kid and showed him a picture of a tall
00:44:54.360 person and a short person, you said, who would you like running this country? 95% of them would pick
00:44:59.600 the tall person. So there is some math to it, but I think we're all, what we're all responding to
00:45:07.680 is him lying about it. That's the thing that we're responding to, not the trying to get an extra
00:45:13.680 inch and five eights. It's more like, are you trying to fool us? And are you trying to deceive us?
00:45:20.260 Because we're just coming off a guy, certainly in Biden, Hillary Clinton, and a lot of people think
00:45:26.860 this way about Trump, where they were trying to deceive us for the last X amount of years.
00:45:34.140 I wonder if I, I'm sure somebody has asked Trump whether he goes in the tanning bed,
00:45:38.780 you know, regularly. He clearly does, but I wonder if somebody has asked him,
00:45:42.720 maybe we can Google it. I will tell you, I sat across from Trump in 2010 and asked him directly,
00:45:48.940 is that a comb over? Is there, is your hair a comb over? Is there, is it a bald spot? And he's like,
00:45:55.440 no, it's all real. And he offered for me to feel his hair and mess it up and stick my hands inside
00:46:01.680 the hair, which I did. We'll lay the tape in later. I did. I stuck my hand right up in there, Adam.
00:46:07.120 And it was all real. And it was not a comb over. It was legit. Ron DeSantis had a, he had an opportunity
00:46:13.200 to say, F this boot gate thing. I've taken off my boot right now. Look inside my boot, nothing in there,
00:46:19.200 no lift, nothing but a regular sold bottom. But I think what we're learning here is that men
00:46:23.860 do with their height, what women do with their weight or their age, right? Falsely play with
00:46:30.880 the numbers to make themselves feel or sound better. Well, I would also say, Megan, with all due respect,
00:46:37.500 you don't have to ask a guy in Donald Trump who plays 70 rounds of golf a day in Florida,
00:46:45.220 if he goes to a tanning salon. But he maintains it year round, Adam, even in New York, where it is
00:46:54.340 gray for nine months of the year. Okay. Well, true. It's got to be spray on at this point is what it
00:47:03.900 is. It could be spray on. I've done the spray on. The spray on does look a little orange, like,
00:47:08.080 you know, Trump's famous or infamous for being. Spray on is self tan always goes wrong. That's what
00:47:12.880 Doug always says. He'll be like, what's that huge streak on you? And I'll say, self tan gone wrong.
00:47:17.100 And he'll say, does self tan ever go right? And I say, not really. No, but you know, sometimes you
00:47:21.780 got to be, you got to have a little color to your skin, especially in those summer months.
00:47:25.920 I'm glad that we're covering all the important things.
00:47:27.560 To be fair to you and Doug, when self tan goes right, you don't know it. You know what I mean?
00:47:34.460 It's not a parent. It's like guys who think they have gaydar. I can tell when someone's gay. Well,
00:47:39.560 you can tell the ones you can tell, but you don't know the other 10 guys. You know, it's like at the
00:47:45.840 border, like the getaways, like we got, we captured 200 tons of fentanyl this year. That's great. Now,
00:47:53.360 how much got through? That's my point. Wait, now hold that thought, because I really want to hear
00:47:57.700 how your gaydar works right after these messages. Don't go away.
00:48:01.260 So Adam, if you can spare a tear for Hunter Biden, now may be the time to do so. He's very sad that
00:48:14.020 the mean, awful press corps has, quote, vilified his addiction. He vilified his addiction. In a piece
00:48:22.860 in USA Today, he talks about how his struggles and mistakes have been the fodder for a vile and
00:48:30.340 sustained disinformation campaign against him and his dad and an all out annihilation of my
00:48:38.980 reputation, such as it was. He goes on to say, look, I'm not a victim, but what troubles me is
00:48:47.860 the demonization of addiction, of human frailty, using me as its avatar and the devastating consequences
00:48:54.300 it has for the millions struggling with addiction, desperate for a way out and being bombarded by the
00:49:00.600 denigrating and near constant coverage of me and my addiction on Fox News and in the New York
00:49:08.080 Post. So that's what he's worried about with what coverage of his troubles is going to mean for other
00:49:15.820 addicts who he thinks are looking at him thinking, you know what? Fox News and the New York Post are
00:49:21.620 going to come from me next. Well, first off, as long as the other addicts aren't embezzling
00:49:27.700 millions of dollars from Ukraine and China and Russia and all the worst dictators in the world,
00:49:35.280 then they shouldn't have an issue. Like if they're not using their dad's name to enrich themselves and
00:49:42.000 they're just strung out on heroin, then they can go see Dr. Drew and they should be fine. So they can avoid
00:49:47.880 this kind of scrutiny by not being an international embezzler. So just a tip to all the people
00:49:56.620 struggling with drugs, you can avoid this by just being a junkie, but you can't be an international
00:50:03.680 thief and a junkie because then you will not be able to avoid this scrutiny. So that's number one.
00:50:09.780 Too far. You went to number two. He's OK. This is this is right out of the playbook. I have seen hours
00:50:18.120 and hours and hours of coverage of Hunter Biden as it pertains to this issue. And every single commentator
00:50:27.200 I've ever heard speak about it on Fox or beyond makes sure and is very careful to start with. He's an addict.
00:50:37.400 I have sympathy for him. I have addicts in my family. This is not what we're talking about.
00:50:43.380 We're talking about embezzling money. We're talking about pay for play. We're talking about 10 percent
00:50:49.640 for the big guy. It's not 10 percent of his cocaine. It's 10 percent of his money for the big guy who's
00:50:57.080 now president of the United States and was vice president of the United States. So he is hiding
00:51:02.420 behind this. And it's a common tactic. And it's what Democrats do all the time. You know, God forbid
00:51:08.140 you have some problem with any member of the squad. Oh, it's because we're people of color. Oh,
00:51:14.140 because we're gay. No, you're anti-Semite bitches. That's why we don't like you.
00:51:21.240 Right. That's what we're seeing time after time after time in this in this crazy reaction to Israel.
00:51:26.920 I mean, have you been following the insanity on college campuses, these lunatics exposing themselves
00:51:33.600 for the rabid anti-Semites they are? Well, it's it's insane. And I was saying on my podcast the other
00:51:40.660 day, like, do this thought experiment. What if we just went back to the year 2000? And I said there
00:51:48.080 was a horrible event where Hamas came into Israel and butchered babies and raped people and slaughtered
00:51:56.820 people and then took hostages back to their caves in Palestine. And then so some concerned college
00:52:05.800 students and concerned citizens here in the U.S. started putting pictures of those taken hostage
00:52:12.420 women, children and posting them up in the town square or the student union or Brooklyn or Manhattan.
00:52:21.360 And then a group of people showed up and started tearing down those pictures. Who would that group
00:52:29.800 be? If you asked me that in the year 2000, who's a group who tore down the pictures of the missing
00:52:35.300 children and the missing women who are abducted? I would go the Klan, I guess the Klan.
00:52:41.920 And you'd go, no, it wasn't the Klan. Oh, well, then some kind of right wing Republican
00:52:48.360 religious nutjobs or some Christians or something. No, no, it's progressive women from the left.
00:52:56.940 I'd be like, what? You got to be kidding. No way. No, these are 19 and 20 year old left leaning
00:53:05.680 progressive women on the on the left. College students mainly. I'd be coming. They're tearing
00:53:11.920 down pictures of missing kids who are being tortured by Hamas right now. What are you talking
00:53:17.300 about? No, this is the work of the Klan. No, this is progressive women.
00:53:23.120 Well, I go. You're the perfect person to ask about this. You starred in the movie,
00:53:28.120 No Safe Spaces made by our pal Mark Joseph, which I absolutely love and was calling attention to the
00:53:35.040 campus insanity years ago. We talked about this when we first launched the show with you guys
00:53:39.440 and we're all over these college campuses getting canceled and people having over
00:53:44.040 the top reactions to your mere presence there. And those very same people seem to have zero problem
00:53:50.840 with murdered babies, beheadings, rapes that led to torture and then murder. It's called resistance.
00:54:00.240 You really need to contextualize it is what we're hearing from them now.
00:54:04.840 Well, what they won't admit, and I think there's a large
00:54:08.880 populace in this country who just wants chaos. I really think they just want the opposite
00:54:17.960 of whatever's right and whatever order would be, whatever your version of order. Like you go,
00:54:26.240 can't we just have a robust border? Why can't we have a robust border? Oh, it's more complicated
00:54:32.020 than that. It's not more complicated than that. They never give an alternative plan, right? It's
00:54:37.700 just sort of chaos. It's just defund the police. Okay. And then do what? I don't know.
00:54:43.940 So they're sort of merchants of chaos. And it's essentially, I was talking to someone about this
00:54:51.200 in the green room of a comedy club last night I was at. And I said, at a certain point, it just
00:54:57.720 feels like the opposite of whatever a good civilization and a good citizen would do. And I said,
00:55:05.480 it's as if I was at the supermarket and they had one of these big displays, a big pyramid of oranges,
00:55:12.820 and somebody pulled one out and they all toppled down and fell on the floor. And so me and a couple
00:55:20.520 other decent citizens started to pick them up and put them back on the shelf. And then these people
00:55:27.060 started coming by and kicking the oranges and throwing them away. And you were saying, hold on,
00:55:32.300 what are you doing? And they said, Hey, I want order just like you do. And I went, Oh, okay. Well,
00:55:37.900 then let's all work together to put these things back up on the shelf. And you kicked one again and
00:55:43.340 went rolling underneath the counter and you threw one that way. And I was like, wait a minute, are you
00:55:47.600 helping here? And they went, I want the same thing you want, but do you, do you want order? Do you want
00:55:54.760 these oranges back up on the shelf? And if you do, then why are you kicking them and throwing them the
00:56:01.060 other direction and knocking them over? Every time I pile them back up on the shelf at a certain
00:56:06.460 point, I think you just want chaos. Yeah. This reminds me of a story happening out in California
00:56:12.360 by you in LA where a young woman is walking down the street and she got sexually assaulted. It was an
00:56:20.520 obvious attempted rape of this woman in broad daylight. Absolutely disgusting. This is from CBS news and ABC
00:56:28.520 seven where this woman is walking down, um, a long beach, California sidewalk and she's gone public.
00:56:36.860 So we'll say her name because she's saying it publicly. Rebecca Peterson is her name. Look,
00:56:40.860 we have the video. Look at this. This man comes up behind her. He's homeless. He's pulling down his
00:56:45.920 pants and he grabs her. He's exposed and tries to rub himself up against her. She falls over. And then
00:56:53.080 this good Samaritan there, this is so gross. We had to blur his crotch. Cause you know,
00:56:57.460 his unit is out. He's right before the sexual assault. So this good Samaritan, Dan McIntyre
00:57:02.380 saw it happen. It was a 30 year old, um, perpetrator and a young woman, um, and ran over.
00:57:10.120 He said the guy looked demon possessed. He approached her from behind, lifted up her skirt and rubbed his
00:57:15.920 genitals against her, then shoved her to the ground. That guy McIntyre pulled out a canister of pepper
00:57:20.420 spray. God bless. And then chased the perp away from the scene. It's bad enough. We're seeing
00:57:25.980 attempted rapes literally in broad daylight on the street as a woman's just walking. But what would
00:57:32.600 happen in any sane city that wasn't committed to chaos? What would happen would be the police would
00:57:38.980 go after him with a full measure of the law. Instead, the LA County district attorney's office
00:57:43.260 reviewed the case and really didn't see any felony charges here. That's really, no, we're going to
00:57:48.660 decline to file any felony charges whatsoever. And the victim was absolutely outraged. So she went to
00:57:56.940 the city prosecutor's office. They took over and filed the maximum charge they were capable of doing
00:58:02.400 within their jurisdiction was misdemeanor count of sexual battery. That's as much as they could do.
00:58:08.180 Now those city prosecutors are going back again to the LA district attorney's office. George Gascon,
00:58:12.760 saying, would you please reconsider charging this as a felony? It's on tape. You don't even have to
00:58:18.500 take her word or the eyewitnesses word for it, but it is chaos, Adam, just as you said.
00:58:25.280 Yeah. Well, and also how else could it go? And then also, if you really think about the mindset
00:58:31.520 of the people that are doing this, first off, they are beat out of their brains on drugs
00:58:36.920 or they're psychotic or they're both. And obviously it speaks to a bigger problem. I had Gavin Newsom
00:58:45.240 on my podcast 10 years ago. And I told that idiot, the biggest problem with the homelessness is drugs
00:58:53.220 and mental issues. Those are the two biggest problems. And he said to me that homelessness was
00:59:01.140 his key issue and that literally verbatim, I quote him, nobody cared more about the homeless issue
00:59:09.380 than he did. And then he went to explain to me the real face of homelessness, the true face of
00:59:17.460 homelessness. And you guys can look this up. It's on YouTube. It's easy to find. I've seen it.
00:59:22.040 Not exaggerating. He said the true face of homelessness was a mother of two who was recently
00:59:31.540 divorced, who had a full-time minimum wage job and couldn't make ends meet. That was the real face
00:59:40.400 of homelessness. Now, of course, no human being has ever seen a mother of two out there wearing a Taco
00:59:48.120 Bell outfit. It's all males, some females, all junkies and everything to do with mental illness.
00:59:57.420 So he's trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. If the problem was sober women who are mothers of
01:00:05.780 two who are recently divorced, we have all the resources in the world for those people. But that's
01:00:12.020 not who the problem is. And if you really think about just sort of democratic lives, like you look at
01:00:17.860 it this way. Gavin Newsom says the real face of homeless is mothers of two. And AOC says the
01:00:25.720 people that are looting the stores are mothers who have hungry children who just want a loaf of bread.
01:00:32.920 Have you ever seen anyone steal a loaf of bread and all the thousands of hours of bobs and looting
01:00:39.340 and rioting that has gone on? I've never seen a Panera.
01:00:43.600 The only time I've ever seen that happen in New York is when I went to see Lim is.
01:00:48.340 Right. Exactly.
01:00:50.120 That's it. It doesn't happen. It's ridiculous. And it's really endangering people in these massive
01:00:56.000 cities. Not for nothing, but Gascon, you know, RDA, the Philadelphia, the Chicago, these all these
01:01:02.540 guys get Soros funding when they're running for office and then they get in office and Soros doesn't
01:01:07.320 have to live near the resulting crime when they won't enforce the criminal code. And just yesterday
01:01:13.240 we were covering this bearded lady we were calling him. It's a guy. That's why he has a beard. And
01:01:19.440 he's posing as a woman as a rabbi who stood up and confronted Joe Biden at this fundraiser he was
01:01:24.440 speaking at saying there needs to be a ceasefire. So it's a man pretending to be a woman. And it appears
01:01:29.160 to be a Jewish person pretending to care about Jewish people, but really doesn't seem to who stands up
01:01:36.480 with this thing to say there has to be a ceasefire now, which everybody knows would lead to the
01:01:40.300 annihilation of Jewish people because Hamas is not going to stop. Hamas is made very clear that
01:01:44.660 they're going to keep on going until Israel doesn't exist anymore. So you do. It is amazing how many
01:01:49.380 fingerprints you see of George Soros on our nation's problem. And in that case, it was this woman was
01:01:55.720 funded by George Soros's son who is affiliated with her in some meaningful way. But there are people
01:02:01.900 who are actively sowing the chaos of which you speak. And there are who is the Republican counter
01:02:08.580 to that? Like, who's the deep pocketed Republican who's making sure sane DAs get elected so that we can
01:02:17.140 prosecute crime and sane homelessness approaches and policies are put into place so we don't have to walk
01:02:23.960 through tent cities to get to the bus stop. Yeah, the problem is, is whether it's a roommate who wants
01:02:33.460 chaos or whether it's a DA who wants chaos in your city as the same roommate, you can never,
01:02:42.900 you can never, never sufficiently battle them because you're the one who's going off to work,
01:02:49.760 who is paying your bills, who's washing your dishes. And anyone who's had a crazy roommate knows
01:02:55.560 they always win. Your only choice is to move out. You can't fix that. Like you just have to leave
01:03:03.120 California. You can't fix California because California is crazy. Newsom is crazy. All the
01:03:09.980 mayors, the DAs, the city council, like everybody is just crazy. There's no fixing crazy there. You know,
01:03:17.040 we have in LA, our legislator, they're like, they're blaming, you know, when all the catalytic
01:03:25.000 converters were being stolen, they blame Toyota for making it too easy to steal the catalytic
01:03:31.080 converters, not the that are stealing catalytic converters. If you're going to be guided or governed
01:03:38.460 by that kind of crazy, then you just have to move. That's an insane roommate.
01:03:42.860 That's terrifying. Yeah. We did cover that story. Speaking of Gavin Newsom, he's out there trying to
01:03:49.700 rewrite his COVID history, truly one of the worst in the nation, possibly the worst on the lockdowns
01:03:55.880 about which you were very public. And he's doing two things saying we did way better than we did
01:04:01.500 poorly. We had way more successes than we had mistakes. And by the way, anything you don't like
01:04:07.100 was the result of local government in California. Not me. It wasn't me. Here's a flavor of an interview
01:04:12.080 he gave with Fox 11 anchor Elix Michelson in SOT 10. What do you think was the biggest lesson
01:04:18.500 learned in terms of what we did wrong that maybe you would do differently the next time around?
01:04:23.700 I'm not consumed by what we did wrong. I'm consumed a little bit more by what we did right. I mean,
01:04:28.020 we led the nation in terms of, I mean, there's no large state that outperformed California on a per
01:04:32.720 capita basis. The number of people lost their lives in California is substantially lower in places like
01:04:36.720 Texas and Florida. We had less learning loss than states like Florida and elsewhere. So we
01:04:41.400 outperformed the rest of the nation in that respect. At the time, we didn't know what we
01:04:45.360 didn't know. And we're experts, we're geniuses. In hindsight, though, we have a report that we're
01:04:50.740 looking forward to publishing on areas where we could have proved to substantively answer that
01:04:55.580 question, not emotionally answer that question through an objective lens, not a partisan lens.
01:05:00.480 Oh, my Lord. Let me just give you the second defense because it speaks to how anything you
01:05:05.600 didn't like, that was me. The school closures, that was those asshole local mayor, local mayors.
01:05:10.120 I ceded all control to them. Listen. Schools shut down too long. I mean, in certain parts of the
01:05:16.100 state, in certain parts of the state, they were open and that we gave local control, the local control
01:05:22.120 funding formula. It's a constitutional construct. It allows localism and we advance localism. We don't
01:05:28.300 have command and control. We allowed that local control. And in some cases, it was, yes, they
01:05:33.820 waited too long. In other cases, they didn't. It's an interesting fact, isn't it, that states
01:05:38.300 like Florida are out there saying, we opened up earlier, and yet they did worse in academic
01:05:45.180 achievement. You have to, I think, come out of this with a sense of humility, absolutely, but
01:05:51.060 also a little grace that California tended to do a little bit better than most other states.
01:05:58.300 I mean, like, literally every word of that was a lie.
01:06:02.520 Yes. Total revisionist history. Well, let's just think about it. So you're saying states
01:06:08.300 where they shut schools down and kept kids at home, like California, the kids did better
01:06:14.220 academically at home than they did in states that were free that did not close the schools?
01:06:20.620 Well, in that case, why are kids at school right now? Why not just shut all the schools so
01:06:26.540 they can stay home and get more learning in than states that let the kids go to school?
01:06:32.320 Because that's essentially what he said. I know he can't do math, and I know we don't
01:06:37.320 keep track of math scores in California. But if you're doing the math, you're saying, okay,
01:06:42.760 so the longer and the harder you lock down, the more the kids flourish academically. That's
01:06:48.760 number one. Number two, this guy is a goddamn sociopath. I talked to him. I stared into the
01:06:56.780 eye of the beast for an hour and a half on my podcast, and all he does is lie. He like
01:07:04.620 puts brill cream on his teeth. I don't know why more idiots don't understand who this guy is.
01:07:11.540 I lived in California. They shut down the beaches. They arrested people for paddle boarding
01:07:17.760 in the harbor. They shut down all the beach volleyball courts. By the way, being outdoors,
01:07:24.680 vitamin D, exercise, sunshine could have been the best thing for you during COVID. But no,
01:07:32.000 he locked them all up in their apartment. This guy's a sociopathic, tyrannical dictator,
01:07:38.560 and nobody should listen to a goddamn word this idiot says.
01:07:43.880 Tell us how you really feel.
01:07:46.200 He's just a sociopath. He's a liar. And by the way, he didn't believe COVID for 10 minutes.
01:07:51.840 He was out eating. And I think you can check the timeline. When he was at the French Laundry,
01:07:58.160 which is the most expensive place you can eat in California with 28 of his closest friends,
01:08:05.040 arm in arm, banging elbows, no mask, eating indoors. The following week, he shut down
01:08:12.180 outdoor dining based on zero science in California. Zero science. He never believed in COVID.
01:08:20.460 He did. He did want school lockdowns. And at the same time he was pushing them for everyone else's
01:08:27.200 kids, he sent his four kids to private school, which was open. So his kids got to go to school
01:08:33.480 while he kept all the other kids who are going to public school in California away from their
01:08:38.240 teachers, away from in-person learning, which we know was was, of course, better for the children
01:08:43.780 to be in school. So he it's, of course, a double standard. Well, and the teachers unions are in the
01:08:50.700 back pocket of the Democrats and they're going to dictate to the Democrats what they want. And the
01:08:57.820 teachers unions are corrupt and they're cowards. And so they just wanted to stay home. So they just
01:09:03.920 told all the Democrats who were in charge of California or Chicago or wherever they happen
01:09:09.020 to be in charge. We're staying home and we want to stay home. Who doesn't want to stay home?
01:09:16.540 But Gavin Newsom's revisionist history on his tyrannical COVID lockdowns are insane.
01:09:22.580 And by the way, why do revisionist history if you were right? If you were so much better than Florida,
01:09:28.280 if you're so much better than Texas, then why do you need to go back and tweak the past? Just tell us
01:09:33.760 what you did. And by the way, it's insulting for anyone who lived in California because they saw the
01:09:41.480 schools close. They saw the playgrounds close. They saw the churches close. They saw the beaches close.
01:09:46.580 I mean, these guys are sociopaths. I saw Eric Swalwell on a news show about three weeks ago and
01:09:53.780 he's like, the Democrats? Well, let me tell you about the Democrats. We're the party that if some
01:09:59.540 airborne virus sweeps the land, we're the ones who are trying to open Main Street, open schools,
01:10:05.400 open churches. Like he literally said churches and schools. You're the ones or you're the ones who
01:10:10.760 locked everyone down and got everyone addicted to fentanyl and suicidal for a year and a half,
01:10:17.720 you jackass. That's exactly what Gavin Newsom did. We've covered at length his shutdown of the churches
01:10:22.900 there and how he was on them. He got federal help in sniffing them out underground investigators inside
01:10:28.880 churches to see if people were wearing their masks and keeping social distancing. The feds are still going
01:10:33.880 after some of them. Bill Melugin of Fox News tweeted out a reaction saying this guy repeatedly shut down
01:10:39.080 California businesses in 20 and 21. He issued stay at home orders. By the way, he definitely issued
01:10:44.180 mask mandates and vaccine mandates for all the schools, which he did close. And he's doing
01:10:49.500 something similar to what we saw Andrew Cuomo do, who's also trying to wiggle out of his authoritarian
01:10:54.940 streak during covid, which is they're saying, well, I didn't order them closed. Yeah, I left it to the
01:11:01.080 locals. What they did was issue these, quote, like color coded tears that decided who could open and who
01:11:07.920 couldn't and then stayed in the red the entire time and and got on the schools who didn't listen.
01:11:14.360 That's, of course, what he was doing. And then, of course, said his own kids to in-person learning
01:11:19.180 at private school while the public schools in Sacramento County are all around him remained
01:11:23.060 closed. Overnight curfews, closing the businesses and so on. Obviously, though, he's running for office.
01:11:28.240 There's zero chance for him to be doing this revisionist history if this guy were not running for
01:11:33.040 office. And I don't care. We'll see how he manages to get Joe Biden off the ballot right now. RFK is
01:11:38.340 polling at 22 percent of the Democrat Party, 22 percent. So good luck getting him out of the way.
01:11:44.020 I don't think there's some love affair for Gavin Newsom that's being tamped down. Right. I really
01:11:49.260 don't. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe they're more progressive than I realize. But I think, you know,
01:11:53.200 old school liberals are not in love with the crazy ass far left progressive policies that Gavin
01:11:57.960 Newsom has forced on Californians. And once they get a close look at that guy,
01:12:01.020 I think they'll go rushing to RFK, Jake. They'll rush anywhere other than Gavin Newsom. Maybe I'm
01:12:06.260 wrong. What do you think? Well, I think COVID let us see everyone for who they were and what they
01:12:15.060 wanted the same way as Israel and Hamas and Palestine. We're now getting to see who people
01:12:22.580 really are, if you know what I mean, like going, oh, my God, these people are really showing their
01:12:27.260 hands. Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmore, many of these people, certain Lori Lightfoot, many,
01:12:35.120 many on the left jumped at the opportunity to seize control over their populace. And they did it
01:12:43.920 immediately, which meant they wanted to do it all along. Now, show me Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis
01:12:51.140 showed us who he was as well. He did not want to do this. So what Gavin Newsom showed me was,
01:13:00.100 let's just say you thought to yourself, I'm going to have a fire drill at my house. I'm not going to
01:13:10.060 tell my wife. I'm just going to see how she reacts when I set the smoke detector off. And you did a fire
01:13:17.400 drill and he set the smoke detector off. And your wife ran upstairs, grabbed her jewelry box,
01:13:23.660 ran downstairs, knocked over one of the kids, pushed away the other kid who was standing in front of the
01:13:29.240 door, ran out the front door and slammed it shut behind her. And then you thought, well, that was
01:13:35.460 just a drill. But I at least know who this woman is now. She didn't bring the kids together. She didn't
01:13:44.120 say, you go first. I'll stay here. She didn't run for the box of baking soda or the fire extinguisher.
01:13:51.440 I got to see who she was. And COVID was a fire thrill for Gavin Newsom. I get to see who this
01:13:58.360 jackass is. His first impulse is to shut everything down. And by the way, he'll go to SoFi Stadium,
01:14:06.740 take a picture with Magic Johnson and not wear a mask. That's no problem. But he'd like you arrested
01:14:11.860 if you don't wear your mask. OK, I got to see who he is.
01:14:16.680 Exactly right. And in his state, one of the other lunacies they're pursuing, your state too,
01:14:21.840 is this idea of reparations, which they're still pushing in San Francisco and statewide.
01:14:28.020 And there was such an illuminating clip circulating online this week. I don't know if you saw it,
01:14:32.300 but for some reason, the former star soccer player, Abby Wambach, was interviewing this woman.
01:14:37.880 We looked up her name. It is Dr. Yabba Blay, who describes herself as a scholar, activist,
01:14:45.060 public speaker, cultural consultant, whose scholarship work and practice centers on the
01:14:49.480 lived experiences of black women and girls with a particular focus on identity, body politics and
01:14:55.220 beauty practices. You know where this is going. So Dr. Yabba Blay gives an interview to Abby Wambach,
01:15:02.400 whose conduct in this clip is equally, if not more appalling than that of Dr. Blay. But Dr. Blay
01:15:10.760 gives up the whole reparations game for these guilt ridden, woke progressives who think they're
01:15:18.780 going to buy their way out of their white guilt. It's a no. Here's the clip.
01:15:25.180 White people, I need you to know that your money will not assuage you from your guilt. You cannot pay
01:15:31.440 your way out of this. There aren't enough reparations in the world that you can pay us.
01:15:38.300 And so you think because you write a check or you slide me something in Venmo that you're absolved
01:15:42.320 and you can tell somebody, well, I gave Dr. Blay $100. I'm not racist. Dr. Blay is going to spend
01:15:47.600 your $100 and still tell you that you're racist. Thank you. That's awesome.
01:15:54.160 We don't feel guilty. And we're not giving you any money, Dr. Blay. Go out and earn it yourself.
01:16:02.120 Take care.
01:16:04.040 Well, to be fair to Abby, the soccer player, she would just do that. Like if Dr. Blay was like,
01:16:11.880 we should take all white cats and throw them in wood chippers and take black cats and give them
01:16:17.680 castles, she would have been like, yeah, yeah, yeah. She could have said, I rode a unicorn here
01:16:26.120 in the studio. And sometimes when I make a number two, there's just gold ingots in the toilet. Abby
01:16:33.600 would have been like, oh, yeah, no, yeah, no. Right, right. And Lord of the Rings, that was a
01:16:39.440 documentary. That wasn't a film. That was a real thing that happened. And she, Abby would have went,
01:16:44.120 yeah, no. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Because nobody can push back against these idiots. I mean,
01:16:49.580 just like the idiot that interviewed Gavin Newsom, you know, it's just like, oh, okay, Florida did a
01:16:54.840 lot worse than we did. But everyone's moving to Florida because it's so bad. And everyone's leaving
01:16:59.620 California and going to Texas. You picked out Texas and Florida as the two places that did worse in
01:17:05.280 California. Then why is everyone leaving California, idiot? What is it that they don't know that you know?
01:17:11.280 Yeah. People are doing some goddamn interviews. That's what I'm saying. Stop nodding your head
01:17:16.980 at all the BS and lies and hate speak. Just uh-huh, uh-huh. Don't do it. Start pushing back. Do some
01:17:23.360 interviews. Right. Right. That's why it's a law. Yes. And in particular, when it's, you know,
01:17:29.960 I don't know this reporter, but like when, you know, you need ongoing access, if you're a lefty
01:17:34.240 interviewing a lefty politician, if you're a lefty star soccer player interviewing somebody who's
01:17:38.320 lecturing you on race and you have the sin of the original sin of being white, grow a pair. All
01:17:43.580 right. Grow a pair. You're going to have to be a big girl and push back on that nonsense. Doctor,
01:17:48.960 you're not getting my money. I don't feel bad for you at all. I feel zero reason to atone for anyone's
01:17:56.260 sins hundreds of years ago. Get off your high fucking horse and get a real job. She right now does
01:18:02.700 some sort of whatever wokeism work that, of course, CNN turned into a documentary.
01:18:08.000 You need my hundred dollars after that? Well, you're not getting it. That's the kind of interview
01:18:12.260 I would like to have with him. Maybe she'll come on the show, Adam. We can have like a sit down,
01:18:15.720 the three of us, and go over. No. No. They'll never come on the show. They're always cowards.
01:18:20.640 They only go where the getting's good. And here's how I know that. Remember during COVID when the
01:18:27.840 big problem, according to the left and Biden and Fauci and Rochelle Walensky, the big problem
01:18:34.720 was that the Fox viewers and the MAGA people and the Trump supporters weren't getting vaccinated.
01:18:42.120 Those are the people they had to get through the message to. Right. And they would say it all the
01:18:47.460 time. This is a problem of the unvaccinated. And who are the unvaccinated? They are the people who
01:18:53.800 watch Fox News. Right. OK. Well, then, Fauci, why are you going on MSNBC for 55th time this month?
01:19:02.700 Why are you talking to Rachel Maddow for the 28th day in a row? Why don't you head over to Fox?
01:19:08.760 You know, the number one show on Fox was at the time, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity. They outrate
01:19:14.300 all of these shows on CNN and MSNBC. Why not just head over there and get the message out over there
01:19:22.920 to a bigger audience who is the audience that you have decided is not being vaccinated? When you go
01:19:29.240 and enjoy Reed's show, you're talking to a bunch of triple vaccinated idiots. Why not head over to
01:19:36.280 Fox where all the people aren't being vaccinated and talk to their flock? But did he ever show up
01:19:42.240 on Fox? No. Why not? He's a man of science. He is the science. So go ahead, Mr. Science,
01:19:50.080 go on Fox because he'd be picked apart and there'd be scrutiny and people to ask questions and he
01:19:55.680 doesn't want to do that. And he's a coward. That's why he never went there, because if he didn't have
01:20:01.980 any of those other facets at play, there weren't any other thing. This isn't a vacuum. You just say
01:20:08.460 to Fauci, Fauci, would you like to go on a highly rated network or a lowly rated network? He would go,
01:20:14.900 I'll go in the high rated network. And would you like to talk to the most people who are unvaccinated
01:20:19.460 or people who have already been vaccinated? And he would go, well, of course, I'd like to talk to
01:20:23.260 the unvaccinated. I don't want to make my case. Well, then go on Fox. Never showed up on Fox. Why?
01:20:30.460 Right. If memory serves, he went on Cavuto once or twice. But that's like, with respect to Neil,
01:20:36.140 one of the lowest rated shows they have. And they weren't particularly challenging. And it was a very
01:20:40.740 different interview than he would have gotten from any of the primetime hosts. If he's so smart,
01:20:44.680 why can't he take it? Why couldn't he do it? And we all know the answer. Same reason,
01:20:49.440 doctor. Yeah, he's lying. Listen to me. I have an expertise. I'm an expert. I have an expertise
01:20:57.000 in carpentry. That was my business. That's my field of expertise. If you'd like me to come on your show
01:21:04.800 and we're going to debate carpentry, I would say, fine, bring it on. That's my field of expertise.
01:21:11.660 I don't. Oh, but what about unfair questions or not getting a fair shake or being ambushed? I'd be
01:21:18.860 like, you can't ambush me. I'm a German carpenter. We can talk about all things carpentry. How would
01:21:24.000 you ambush me? And I would say the same about Fauci. You are the science. You're an epidemiologist.
01:21:29.620 You've been doing this for 50 years. How could you be torpedoed or ambushed by Sean Hannity?
01:21:36.340 He's not a scientist. I agree with this. I've said this before. We asked Fauci many times to come
01:21:40.340 in the show and we were rejected. Like I like I could ever know the amount he knows about virology,
01:21:45.860 though I would be prepared. And he knows that. Right. So he's afraid. But I'll put it in terms
01:21:50.280 of the average person at home can understand. I always say this. If you're going to go public speak
01:21:53.560 about something, you're going to get interviewed about something. Make yourself an expert. And then
01:21:57.000 the nerves go away because there's nothing, as you're pointing out, the person can ask you that
01:22:00.520 you're worried about. Think about your son. Think about your daughter. If somebody wanted to
01:22:04.380 interview about them, you'd be on fire. You'd know everything about them. There's nothing the
01:22:08.480 interviewer knows that you don't know. It would be a spicy, fun interview and you'd feel totally
01:22:13.280 relaxed doing it. It's only when you haven't done your homework that you feel uncomfortable
01:22:16.820 or when you're being dishonest, which was Fauci's whole game. I got to take a quick break.
01:22:21.540 There's we have got to get to the woman on the plane who had the meltdown
01:22:25.080 allegedly about a lizard person. That was my theory. She's now speaking out again. And I've got a lot of
01:22:31.780 thoughts on this. Plus, the CEO of Target addresses their tucket bathing suits with some revisionist
01:22:38.340 history of his own.

01:23:43.040 So, Adam, I have a great update for you. Very interesting. You remember the lady who freaked out
01:23:47.340 on the plane, and she was like, I am not staying on this plane, and you can stay, or you can go,
01:23:53.760 but we're not going to make it to Orlando. Her name is Tiffany Gomez, and she was eventually tracked
01:23:59.520 down by TMZ, among others, and she just gave an interview. She was caught on camera for a bit,
01:24:06.120 I think, by either by TMZ or the Daily Mail, and gave like a little comment one time, but this is her
01:24:11.200 first interview about what happened. She went out, it's a barstool sports podcast called
01:24:17.600 Pardon My Take, and here is how she is now explaining her meltdown on that plane.
01:24:25.460 You know, the reason why I probably haven't come out yet, because it's like so cringe,
01:24:29.300 I did not see anything.
01:24:31.620 What?
01:24:32.760 I mean, I think y'all knew that.
01:24:34.580 Okay.
01:24:35.360 I, we honestly had no idea.
01:24:36.840 Yeah.
01:24:37.280 You said you did.
01:24:38.780 No, I did not. The media.
01:24:41.820 You said this motherfucker's not real.
01:24:43.300 I said that motherfucker.
01:24:45.020 Is not real.
01:24:46.000 Is not these.
01:24:46.540 Okay.
01:24:47.460 Apologies.
01:24:48.320 Yeah, so I got in a bit of an altercation. It spiraled out of control. It was not my best
01:24:56.760 moment. I mean, it was actually a horrible moment. It's absolutely mortifying.
01:25:00.540 So what you're saying is that clip that we all saw, that motherfucker's not real, is not
01:25:04.720 like you thinking that someone is an alien. It was just the tail end of an argument.
01:25:09.120 It was an expression of speech.
01:25:10.720 Okay.
01:25:11.220 Was it like an armrest? Like you guys are fighting over the armrest?
01:25:13.680 Yeah, what was a fight over?
01:25:14.460 So gave up. I was in the middle seat, and it was just, there was just a really bad energy,
01:25:20.220 and I don't want to get into like all the details of that.
01:25:24.140 Okay. Once again, my opinion, everything she just said was a lie. It was all lies. That's
01:25:29.680 my opinion, because, and it was just an expression of speech. It was just an expression. It was just
01:25:35.760 like a turn of phrase. Here is what happened on board that plane.
01:25:40.680 I'm telling you, I'm getting the f*** off, and there's a reason why I'm getting the f*** off,
01:25:45.820 and everyone can either believe it or they cannot believe it. I don't give two f***s,
01:25:51.500 but I am telling you right now, that mother f***, that mother f*** back there is not real.
01:25:59.880 And you can sit on this plane, and you can f***ing die with them or not. I'm not going to.
01:26:06.100 Bye.
01:26:08.260 Then there was part two in the airport. Once they had to turn the plane back around and bring it
01:26:12.720 back to the terminal, thanks to her freak out, where she wouldn't leave the terminal. She was
01:26:16.700 trying to film the plane, and here's what happened there. Do not let that flight leave. Do not let
01:26:23.360 that flight leave. Being dead serious. Do not let that flight leave. That flight's not going to make
01:26:31.220 it to Orlando. That flight's not going to make it to Orlando. And the whole video, if you watch the
01:26:37.120 full five-minute meltdown, which some lovely passenger filmed, began with her saying, I need
01:26:42.260 to get the f*** off this plane. I need to get the f*** off this plane. I don't give an f*** about my
01:26:46.240 shit. Just need to get the f*** off this plane. I'm getting the f*** off. And then she says,
01:26:50.800 because there is a stupid f***ing dude over here. No. And then comes, everyone can believe it or not
01:26:57.840 believe it. I don't give two f***s. That m***er back there is not real. Now, no one actually cares
01:27:03.920 about this woman or this controversy whatsoever. It's just in good fun. But she's out there, and God
01:27:09.500 bless those guys at Pardon My Take who managed to like, oh, really, kind of keep it going. This woman is
01:27:15.220 like trying to spin herself into now like a self-help guru who is going to help us all,
01:27:20.200 I guess, with our, what to me is an obvious lizard people take of shapeshifter take. That is 100% what
01:27:26.380 I believe Tiffany was seeing or purporting to see on the plane. It's not real, but she's one of the
01:27:32.200 people, this is why it's interesting, who I believe gets sucked in to the lunacy that's all over the
01:27:38.740 internet about this narrative. Shape-shifting lizard people. She's lost her grip with reality. I'm
01:27:45.200 sorry she's having a mental health issue, obviously. Hearts and prayers. However, what she said to those
01:27:51.600 guys is not true. It doesn't match up with the facts. What do you make of it?
01:27:55.580 I agree with that. Also, it's kind of curious. Her name is Tiffany Gomez. So she has the whitest name
01:28:02.080 and the most Mexican name. And she made Reese's peanut butter cup out of it. And there's not
01:28:09.320 another human being on the planet named Tiffany and Gomez. There's a lot of Dolores Gomez's and
01:28:16.140 there's a lot of Tiffany Wilson's, but there's no Tiffany Gomez's out there. So she's got range
01:28:22.100 culturally. She's been possessed. And I think there's a lot of people. Here's my theory. There's
01:28:31.260 a lot of people who don't fly without ingesting a few things, some edibles, some micro dosing,
01:28:38.980 although her micro dosing could have turned into a mega dosing. So I feel like she was rolling on
01:28:46.540 something when she was in that airplane. There's just a lot of people that ingest things before they
01:28:53.260 get on that flight. And that to me, I think may be the culprit. I don't believe that. I think
01:29:01.860 because I think that would have been an easy thing to say. I'm such a dumbass. You know,
01:29:06.260 I took something because I'm a nervous flyer and it had a bad effect on me. That's everybody been like,
01:29:11.500 oh, poor thing. We would have been skeptical, but it like at least would have made sense.
01:29:14.720 She lives in a million dollar home. She's got a nice job from what I hear. And I think like I
01:29:20.800 watched this documentary. I talked about this over the summer, once again, with the ruthless guys.
01:29:25.000 And, um, we, I was talking about this documentary called the devil, you know, which I think was
01:29:30.240 Amazon prime season two, amazing, amazing documentary about how people get sucked into.
01:29:36.440 There are like a lot of people, Adam, who believe that there are lizard people among us,
01:29:42.240 that there are quote shape shifters among us. And it's very rare that you see them out themselves
01:29:47.560 publicly, but I believe that's what happened on that airplane. Here's a clip from that
01:29:51.620 documentary, which was about in part, this radio broadcaster, Sherry Schreiner,
01:29:56.260 who pushed the nonsense to thousands of people who bought it. But here's watch this.
01:30:00.480 The reptilians have been dominating earth, uh, for the last hundreds of years, thousands, these
01:30:08.920 aliens, they pose as humans so they can destroy the humans on earth.
01:30:17.540 Like it's freaky to me to think this woman's in a top tier marketing job. I believe it is
01:30:24.100 has success in life. She could be sitting next to her on the airplane and she's looking around for
01:30:30.200 blizzard people. This is what, this is the dark side of the internet. This is the dark side of
01:30:36.140 no longer believing in the CDC, the WHO, the FBI, the DOJ, the court system, the cops,
01:30:45.380 the presidency, the state department, all of which are valid. I understand the skepticism about all
01:30:50.740 those groups and sharing it, but you start to go down this rabbit hole. And for, for too many,
01:30:56.820 there's no bottom to it. You, the next thing, you know, you're on a plane seeing lizard people.
01:31:02.760 That's my belief about what really went down. No, I agree. I think the most insidious, damaging
01:31:10.620 chapter from what, that we just passed through is opening the window to skepticism for everything.
01:31:19.040 And I used to make fun of conspiracy theorists all the time. I really can't anymore after what we
01:31:27.240 just passed through and what we saw the FBI and the CDC and the WHO and all these different
01:31:34.340 authorities and entities, what they've done to us. And then also mixed in with the crazed revisionist
01:31:41.420 history of Gavin Newsom explaining California was great. He didn't really lock everyone in their
01:31:47.700 homes. It, it leaves the window open to keep going down a conspiracy theory path. Now I'm not going
01:31:56.160 to keep going down that path. I'm not a flat earth or, or the Jews took down the twin towers or any of
01:32:02.660 that, but it does open the window. And this is the problem. The problem is, is, you know, when there's
01:32:09.480 some shooting in Nashville and they will not release the manifesto, then it makes everyone go,
01:32:16.800 well, what was really going on with that? Or when they won't give you the information or the data,
01:32:23.000 the statistics, or they lie to you, you start going, what the heck's going on there? And people that are
01:32:29.060 less pragmatic than you and I go much further down that path.
01:32:33.720 Mm-hmm. I just think like it. And I realize you've been, you know, sort of little screw loose
01:32:38.940 people from the dawn of time. I've talked about before on the show, how there's this very weird
01:32:42.780 internet conspiracy theory around that. I am Nicole Brown Simpson, like somehow reincarnated,
01:32:50.280 but I don't know how that works. Cause I existed at the same time that Nicole Brown Simpson was alive.
01:32:54.360 So I'm not sure how they square those two things, but it's, if you Google it, you'll see a bunch of
01:32:58.440 things pop up. So it's not like this is new or just post COVID and the deterioration and the trust
01:33:04.840 of our industries. Um, but it's gotten worse for sure. And I think those COVID lockdowns that Gavin
01:33:10.400 Newsom was responsible for in part added to it. I think a lot of people are having mental health
01:33:15.040 breaks. There's not enough services to help them. Uh, and I actually, for one wish that Tiffany Gomez
01:33:20.640 would come out and just tell the truth. Cause that's very clear to me. She's not. All right,
01:33:24.460 let me get to the last thing. Target, you know, target was having its tucket female swimsuits on
01:33:33.600 display during pride month in June and people all over the country got ticked off. It was annoying.
01:33:38.580 I don't want to have to explain why the F there's a tucket swimsuit sitting on display to my kid. And I
01:33:44.260 was not alone. So he gives this interview to Becky quick of CNBC. And first he tries to say the
01:33:50.100 backlash he faced here was worse than what target experienced post George Floyd when there was open
01:33:55.860 looting and destruction of targets. Listen to this, not one. You know, I've seen natural disasters.
01:34:03.260 We've seen the impact of COVID leading into the pandemic, some of the violence that took place
01:34:08.580 after George Floyd's murder. But I would tell you, Becky, what I saw back in May is the first time
01:34:15.280 since I've been in this job where I had store team members saying it's not safe to come to work.
01:34:21.380 These are people who did not like that. You had pride merchandise that was out and they came in
01:34:25.720 and they said, what? Well, they were very, again, aggressive with our team members.
01:34:30.800 Doing what? Personally yelling at them, yelling at them. You know, they threatened to
01:34:35.180 light product on fire in the store, in the store. So, you know, very aggressive behavior. I mean,
01:34:42.360 we've been celebrating heritage moments like pride for over a decade now. We've never seen that kind
01:34:49.100 of response. You didn't put a tucket bathing suit in your stores until this year. And here's what he
01:34:55.980 says, which is a lie about that. Watch. People said, look, there are bathing suits that are
01:35:02.900 transgender bathing suits that are being targeted and marketed to kids. There is a guy who you're
01:35:09.220 working with a designer who, you know, I don't know, was a devil worshiper with some of the
01:35:13.760 things. What did you find? What would you say back to some of those criticisms?
01:35:16.820 Well, I think you and I both know those weren't true. But in the moment, we said the best thing
01:35:22.100 for us to do is address the issue. We can't combat each and every statement that's being made.
01:35:29.740 Lies. All lies, Adam.
01:35:31.120 Yeah. Well, first off, you always know where these guys are politically when they say George Floyd
01:35:37.020 murder. You know where they're coming from and when they say insurrection. But here's what I want to
01:35:42.760 say to these pussies. OK, it was worse than the summer of looting and crime and BLM. How many of your
01:35:51.580 employees were injured? How much product was damaged? How many stores were burned? How many shelves were
01:35:57.400 knocked over? Tell me, oh, you had employees that felt threatened. Everyone feels threatened now,
01:36:02.980 you pussy. What are we talking about? Give me numbers, body count. Who was killed? Who went to
01:36:08.360 the hospital? Who was injured? Show me some pictures. What do you have? Yeah, exactly. And here, just as a
01:36:15.600 fact check, a kid's black swim skirt had a tag reading thoughtfully fit on multiple body types and
01:36:22.640 gender expressions for kids. That's what he did. And as for his designer, there was a guy he was 100%
01:36:30.160 working with him. It went under the brand name Ab Pralin, a brand out of the UK headed by a
01:36:36.000 self-proclaimed gay transgender man known as Eric. And he included images on some of his other
01:36:42.880 merchandise, not that sold at Target. But this guy was indeed a devil promoter. Pentagrams,
01:36:49.180 horned skulls, references to devils, quote, Satan respects pronouns, was on some of his designs.
01:36:55.060 And Eric wrote on Instagram last year, being called a demon is something I can cope with.
01:36:59.160 And the idea of a trans demon is pretty damn cool. Most of my work focuses on gothic or dark
01:37:04.760 or satanic imagery. That's his partner in coming up with the tuck friendly, etc. merchandise at
01:37:12.580 Target. So he lied. He was working with somebody who's into devil worship very publicly. He did put out
01:37:17.840 trans clothing for children. And he's a liar. It was definitely not worse than post George Floyd
01:37:23.560 when a Minneapolis Target store was destroyed by looting in the wake of the George Floyd situation.
01:37:30.700 Adam Crowley, you're the best. You're the best. You're the greatest. Thank you so much and have
01:37:33.820 a great weekend. All right. Let's see you soon. We'll talk to all of you soon. Thanks for being
01:37:38.800 with us this week and every week. And we'll talk more on Monday.
01:37:45.160 Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
