00:00:43.540 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

00:00:54.220 Hey, everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, and happy Wednesday,

00:00:59.220 where we still do not know the results of yesterday's key California elections. My

00:01:03.400 God, they're so slow. This is third world crap. Honestly, why? Why? Why in 2026 America does it 1.00

00:01:10.180 take a state three days to figure out who won an election? Shouldn't we be doing better than

00:01:14.980 this by now? It's embarrassing. Take a lesson from Florida. You know, you're both sunshiny states.

00:01:21.220 um yeah that pretty much ends the similarities but you could take a lesson from florida which

00:01:26.480 got its act in gear after the 2020 sorry 2000 uh election bush v gore when it was a nightmare

00:01:35.420 so they figured it out and they've had it figured out ever since and you could take a lesson

00:01:39.420 anyway what we know so far tells us there are some encouraging signs that

00:01:46.060 I don't want to say like, I don't want to be too optimistic here. It definitely feels like

00:01:51.540 Lucy in the football, but it does at least look like Steve Hilton's going to make it into the

00:01:56.640 final two for the gubernatorial race. And Spencer Pratt is holding his own. I don't trust them.

00:02:03.920 I'm not a big, as you guys know, I think my audience would like me to be much more

00:02:08.040 open-minded to the possibility of election stealing. I'm not big on that. I just, I don't

00:02:14.320 tend to believe that government's that organized. However, California takes so long. Last time

00:02:24.080 Karen Bass was behind and then suddenly surged to become the way I just I don't know. Are they

00:02:29.900 actually going to let Steve Hilton or Spencer Pratt take a leadership post out there? I don't

00:02:37.460 know. I don't want to be too conspiratorial, but we'll see. Here's what we know. It's an

00:02:43.520 open primary for governor. Start at the top here. And our friend, Republican Steve Hilton,

00:02:48.180 is currently in first place with about 28 percent of the vote, with just under 60 percent of the

00:02:54.020 results in. So that's good. More than half of the votes are in and he is leading with about 28 percent

00:02:59.380 of the vote. He just has to be one of the top two to go after the general election, which happens

00:03:02.840 in November. In second place right now, former California Attorney General and Biden Administration

00:03:07.620 Health and Human Services Secretary Javier Becerra. He's got about 25 percent. They're still

00:03:13.060 counting the other 40 percent of the vote in third right now with about 20 percent of the vote is

00:03:17.580 far left loon pro boys and girls sports billionaire tom steyer this man is absolutely bizarre and i'm

00:03:25.020 sorry he's too weird even for californians he is he's too weird you you can't do it that guy i'm

00:03:30.440 telling you right now he's got some sort of weird skeleton in his closet i don't know what it is

00:03:34.380 but there's something that guy's hiding that's probably going to come out because he's like i'm

00:03:39.140 going to show you his his final campaign ad of the season you know he's been palling around with 0.97

00:03:43.600 all the trannies out there well he's taking it next level now the top two regardless of party 1.00

00:03:48.840 advanced to face off in the general election this november uh the race has not yet been called of 1.00

00:03:54.280 course because they don't have enough of the vote in yet but the betting markets for what it's worth

00:03:58.820 give becerra over a 97 chance to advance and hilton is sitting in the low to mid 80s even

00:04:06.180 though he has more than Becerra right now, the bettors understand what California normally does.

00:04:11.500 Steyer's around 20 percent in the betting markets. That's good. Poor Katie Porter's not even going to

00:04:16.720 make in the top three. And now she's really got something to yell about. I hope she doesn't give 1.00

00:04:21.820 up. Don't give up, Katie. We need you on the national scene. Don't be discouraged. Find a way

00:04:27.340 to stay in the national conversation. And in the state's biggest city, Los Angeles,

00:04:32.960 Yes, amazingly, incumbent Democrat Karen Bass is projected to advance to November's election. 1.00

00:04:40.280 My God, I like what do you have to do as a black female Democrat in California not to get reelected or almost reelected? 1.00

00:04:52.480 She allowed half of their city to burn down to the studs and they're running to keep her in this thing. 0.99

00:05:01.260 unbelievable shame on you shame on you i like the only thing i can think of when i look at what

00:05:10.200 they're doing out there like if spencer pratt does not make it if they re-elect karen bass

00:05:16.800 truly if they do like i well i will look at them you know i go on with paul murray of sky news and

00:05:24.700 i was just saying this to him you know how like you have the friend and like the husband sheets

00:05:28.200 on her. You're like, well, you have a nice marriage. Maybe it was like a momentary lapse.

00:05:32.260 Perhaps you could work it out. And okay, they do. Then she comes back a year later. She's like,

00:05:36.240 oh, I caught him again. Only this time it was like three strippers. Okay. You know what? That's

00:05:41.540 not great. We might want to reevaluate. Doesn't seem like he's learned his lesson. 10 years later,

00:05:46.420 he's had multiple affair partners and now he's impregnated somebody outside of the marriage.

00:05:52.380 And at that point, you look at the friend and say, take it to somebody else. I don't care.

00:05:56.760 I'm not listening.

00:05:57.620 I'm no longer in the market for this conversation.

00:05:59.700 You made your bed.

00:06:00.880 Lie in it. 1.00

00:06:01.920 That's the point I'm at with Californians who would reelect Karen Bass. 1.00

00:06:06.520 I really hope they don't do it, but she's on her way. 1.00

00:06:09.460 Somehow she's managed to be in the top two.

00:06:12.120 And the question is, who will be with her?

00:06:13.620 Will it be that other left wing loon Nithya Raman?

00:06:17.980 Or will it be Spencer Pratt, who is Trump like in his media approach and his messaging?

00:06:26.180 in a good way. But do California voters consider that a good thing? I mean, they're definitely not

00:06:32.880 in the mood for more Trump energy in most pockets of Los Angeles, so that could hurt him. But then

00:06:39.040 again, he didn't burn down the city. His home was burned down. And he really wants to do something

00:06:43.760 about it. And the incompetence that's been blanketing that town. So I don't know. I don't

00:06:50.980 know what they're going to do. Right now, there's over 63% of the vote in for LA mayor. Again,

00:06:55.760 Karen Bass is through. And in second place right now is Spencer Pratt. He's got about 30% of the

00:07:02.140 vote. If that holds, it's going to be a one-on-one matchup between Pratt and Bass in November.

00:07:07.300 Bring it. But a lot of the vote is yet to be counted. Betting markets giving Pratt a 65%

00:07:12.720 chance of moving on with Nithya Rahman holding a 35% chance of continuing to the runoff. She's 0.99

00:07:19.700 actually doing better than expected in a few of the smaller districts. So you can't counter out

00:07:26.680 entirely as of this hour. But right now, it's looking like Bass Pratt. It's still early.

00:07:36.180 Speaking of changes to the establishment, there is so much drama happening right now over at CBS

00:07:42.220 News, they fired 60 Minutes star Scott Pelley. He's out. After he caused a scene and aggressively

00:07:50.020 confronted the show's new executive producer in front of the whole staff earlier this week.

00:07:55.620 I mean, this is like that we are back in middle school, only it's 60 minutes. It's just so

00:08:02.560 pathetic. In his statement after his firing, Pelley saying he prays for the day when, quote, 0.99

00:08:08.620 sanity, competence, and courage returned to CBS News. Well, he's not expecting to get his job

00:08:15.920 back anytime soon, obviously. And now this morning, Barry Weiss, who's the editor-in-chief

00:08:21.100 over there, issued her nasty little statement about him, and he fired back again. It's a tit-for-tat

00:08:27.300 situation. No one wants to give up the last word. Can I tell you something? They're all behaving

00:08:33.620 like children, in my view. I got a lot of thoughts on this one. We'll get to it in a minute. But

00:08:38.160 first, we're going to bring in our guest. We are joined this morning by Adam Carolla. He's

00:08:44.180 host of the Adam Carolla Show, which you can listen to every weekday morning on SiriusXM's

00:08:48.640 The Megyn Kelly Channel, 111. Here's a question. How many brokers does it take to ensure your

00:08:55.400 business? If you are like most business owners, the answer is too many. Multiple policies,

00:09:02.260 multiple applications, no clear view of how it all fits together. In fact, it's just a massive

00:09:06.780 stressor for most people. And when questions come up, it's not easy to get the clarity you need.

00:10:19.840 after you got your star. Did they revoke the star? What has led you to deign to spend time

00:10:25.800 with we lowly plebs once again.

00:10:30.360 Yeah, one of my publicists said we had to keep it short.

00:10:34.740 So as much as I enjoy the praise,

00:10:37.780 we're really kind of on the clocks.

00:10:40.300 So that's me getting my star a week ago, I think it was.

00:10:45.540 That's so cool.

00:10:46.700 Yeah, it was fun.

00:10:48.200 You went and did something when you got that star

00:10:51.520 that made me do something I promised I'd never do,

00:10:54.740 which is love again spot in my heart for jimmy kimmel i know it made me have a soft spot for

00:11:01.460 jimmy kimmel i'm not gonna lie here is what he said when you got your star on the walk of fame

00:11:08.100 sat one adam and i as you probably know don't agree much when it comes to politics but i love

00:11:13.420 him dearly i've never worked with anyone funnier i i am proud of him i am

00:11:20.080 this this is this is a guy who worked his way up from nothing to become literally a millionaire

00:11:31.820 and if you don't believe it he will you'll hear him say it every single show

00:11:35.180 adam is a true original he is a um he was a poor kid from the san fernando valley

00:11:42.500 who was rejected by the management at taco bell and whose name will now forever be part of this

00:11:49.280 filthy disgusting intersection next to a bank that has been abandoned for like 35 years 0.65

00:11:55.520 it's true that was great white you know i've got one more this is you uh with a comment on him 0.73

00:12:06.640 listen here i don't know if jimmy is the first person who believed in me but he's definitely

00:12:17.400 the first person that ever did anything about it others sort of were like hey nice one and then

00:12:25.360 they'd go their merry way jimmy took it upon himself to get me a career and in a world with

00:12:34.180 comedians can be pretty cutthroat and there's a lot of uh sour grapes and they don't like it if

00:12:42.640 you make more money or get more famous or whatever that is comedians are famous for that

00:12:46.900 not Jimmy, selfless, always behind me, always promoting me and always making sure that I did

00:12:56.540 the right thing. That is really sweet. I love your friendship. It's a reminder that our partisan

00:13:04.480 leanings don't have to divide us in our personal relationships. Good for him for showing up and

00:13:09.420 saying what he did and for always having your back and for you as well. Adam, congrats. It's

00:13:12.720 awesome. Thank you. Now there's something that's interesting that was in there because Jimmy was

00:13:18.340 joking that I would say I'm a millionaire, literally a millionaire going way back to the

00:13:25.340 late 1990s when I was on K-Rock radio out here. And I would say it, I would say all the time,

00:13:32.060 I'd go, well, you know, I'm a millionaire. I'm literally a millionaire. And the reason I would

00:13:35.440 say it 25 or 30 years ago is because i was feeling what's going on now this like attack the bernie

00:13:44.040 sanders attack on success attack on hard work attack on millionaires now back then it was

00:13:50.100 millionaires then bernie became a millionaire she upgraded it to billionaires but there was this

00:13:55.340 even back then 25 30 years ago people were trying to downplay their success because they didn't want

00:14:04.440 a target on their back and I felt that pressure and went the other way and would constantly go

00:14:11.440 I'm literally a millionaire a millionaire all the time because the K-Rock the radio station

00:14:17.580 would say stop saying that stop it like they don't I would say I flew first class back from

00:14:24.380 New York and they'd go don't say you flew first class and I'd go why not I'm a celebrity you know

00:14:29.940 they'd go, people will get angry if you tell them that. I was like, F yourself. I'm not here to

00:14:35.680 pretend like I'm poor. Get your shit together, work hard, and then you can literally be a 0.99

00:14:40.500 millionaire. I'm not going to pretend like I'm you. You aspire to be me. I like that. I think 1.00

00:14:48.120 people won't hold money or success, financial success against you if, especially if you weren't

00:14:55.860 born with a silver spoon in your mouth and you earned it. You worked for it, worked hard. I think

00:15:00.520 people respect that. And if you were born with a silver spoon, I think they'll forgive that too,

00:15:05.620 just as long as you're not bragging about it like you did create it. If you're honest about,

00:15:10.080 I was very lucky and I inherited money from my parents. I don't think people will hold that

00:15:13.580 against you. It's like the people to whom it's given who want to pretend that they're scrappy

00:15:19.020 and weren't born on third base, that's annoying. It's like, just stop. And then the people who

00:15:24.520 become super rich and want to ruin our society with their money like tom steyer that we we all

00:15:30.860 resent that that guy's so weird it's it's it's he's hard to figure out like and it's also kind

00:15:38.440 there's something going on there who's running that guy's campaign like he's like tom we have 0.93

00:15:43.120 to do the breakfast hold on one more picture with a tranny and then we can move forward it's like 0.98

00:15:48.560 literally he's an old billionaire white guy made his money with prisons and oil and he's obsessed 0.98

00:15:56.060 with trannies yeah weird he is and not only that you tell me when i saw this yesterday my first 0.65

00:16:03.100 thought was oh my god we're so lucky that we have adam tomorrow look at his final it's an election 0.89

00:16:08.780 day video um this is his closing message to the voters of la sought three i'm tom steyer and i'm 0.99

00:16:18.060 about to ride the d oh when he said ride that ride the d i thought that d was short for dick

00:16:30.740 but okay of course don't we all do why is he saying that and there's a guy wearing a t-shirt 0.87

00:16:37.120 that reads ride the d this is a message to the california voters for the state house uh i don't

00:16:42.700 know who was just saying that they're a bottom when they want to be a top or something i don't

00:16:47.260 know what yeah there's some kind of weird oh i think oh it might not have been real but it was

00:16:53.200 talarico talarico in texas yeah there's some kind of weird gay code thing that's going on

00:16:58.920 and i don't know i i can't figure what it is it's weird it's like carol burnett what straight man

00:17:06.120 yes would say my my final message is i want to ride the d my god what

00:17:11.480 i want to ride the d to brownsville i have no idea i mean i don't want to get technical but

00:17:19.980 i think only a woman can ride the d anyway not for nothing you may be right so but here's the

00:17:27.500 thing you know what i want to say to everybody in california who didn't vote um or in the in

00:17:36.200 the gubernatorial race right the ones that voted for steyer or voted for uh javier becerra javier

00:17:44.460 baccaria as biden would call him all you guys who think it's a good idea to vote for javier

00:17:52.360 becerra 10 minutes ago you were all in on swalwell so maybe your antenna is a little bit bent did you

00:18:01.580 ever think that you could possibly be wrong with a vote all the people that are now voting for

00:18:06.920 becerra were about to vote for swalwell yeah maybe maybe sit at home right maybe give it up

00:18:14.220 yeah maybe you're not maybe your instincts are not that's maybe your divining rod is not great

00:18:19.340 yeah well i'm worried a little because the rule in california is that you can mail in your ballot

00:18:27.040 on Tuesday, all day. You got to get a postmark on Tuesday. And as long as you have one, those

00:18:33.400 ballots will be accepted by county election officials for another week. I'm all for mail-in

00:18:39.520 ballots if that's how a state wants to do it, I guess. I don't know. They're not great. I'm not

00:18:44.560 actually all for them. But if you're going to do them, okay. They should have to be received

00:18:50.840 by election day. What is this nonsense of it's election week and we have to sit here waiting

00:18:57.540 because people decided to mail in on the day of. And what happened in 2022 was on election night,

00:19:04.840 Rick Caruso, the real estate developer, was in first place. Karen Bass was in second,

00:19:10.260 and she did not overtake Caruso for several days as late arriving mail-in ballots continued to

00:19:17.660 pour in, which undermines faith in the elections. Agreed. Well, listen, you know, they always

00:19:25.740 announce this, the most important thing you can do is vote, you know, as, as an American,

00:19:31.360 yet it's so slapped together the whole thing, you know, you should have to go in in person and vote

00:19:40.220 end of subject. And if you don't have the energy or wherewithal to do that, then sit home because

00:19:47.140 and I get mail-in if you're in the military and you're abroad or something like that but this

00:19:53.280 COVID mail-in thing is insane they used COVID to usher all of this nonsense in you can go to the

00:20:00.720 Trader Joe's in Toluca Lake it's packed with people why are people scared to leave their house

00:20:06.820 to vote when the rest of society was open and every market was crowded liquor stores were

00:20:14.880 crowded theaters were crowded at that point what why is COVID so unique as it pertains to voting

00:20:20.900 I don't I didn't I didn't understand it the rest of society was open here in California by the time

00:20:27.940 the vote came around so it it it leaves the door open for fraud and it also it's it's like it's

00:20:35.660 DEI and and here's why I'm saying it's DEI the most insidious thing about DEI is you being on

00:20:43.780 a harvard campus singing young black man walk across the quad and you think to yourself is he

00:20:50.060 really supposed to be here or is that just a dei thing is that just an affirmative action thing

00:20:54.820 that's the worst part about it the part that you have to think that way and so anyone who wins

00:21:00.200 karen bass over caruso or spencer you know nithia raman catches up to pratt in the next two weeks

00:21:07.620 We all sit around and go, hmm, I wonder what that's about.

00:21:12.560 I don't want, as a voter, I don't want to think that way.

00:21:15.860 I just want to tally all the votes and get the conclusion that night.

00:21:20.860 Because everybody, especially any Republican in California and in Los Angeles, is dubious all the time.

00:21:29.080 We're like, I don't trust that system.

00:21:33.420 Why do we want a system that we don't trust?

00:21:35.660 Adam, how is how are the citizens citizens of L.A. even considering Karen Bass, given what happened in the Palisades?

00:21:47.500 Truly explain it to me. Well, I have a unique perspective because I was raised by these people.

00:21:54.580 My mom was this way. My grandmother was this way. My family is this way.

00:21:59.080 and they think this way that that's it well before my mom died it was during the runoffs

00:22:07.740 i mean she died maybe a couple years after the runoffs with uh newsome and larry elder and at

00:22:13.500 some point she just said to me i don't know who larry elder is but i know who gavin newsome is

00:22:18.800 and i'm voting for him basically i'm a democrat that's how i vote and i don't care if the entire

00:22:24.560 city burns to the ground. I vote this way. Wow. I mean, it's so extraordinary. I get that. I'm a

00:22:32.720 Democrat and I vote Democrat. I get it. Or Republican and vote Republican. But like she

00:22:36.360 burned down the city and she didn't like the match exactly, but she might as well have her 1.00

00:22:42.040 policies, her DEI policies, no water in the reservoirs. Like I she was in another country 0.90

00:22:48.880 where she said she wouldn't be. She had received alerts. She didn't care. She went anyway.

00:22:54.040 She stayed over there while the city was burning. I don't get it. What like the city burned down under her leadership and even Gavin Newsom to his leadership, too.

00:23:07.360 And they're thinking about trying to elevate him to the presidential level. I just what would it take for them to say you're too incompetent to lead?

00:23:15.820 Well, Democrats are not pragmatic by nature.

00:23:20.140 They're emotional.

00:23:21.940 You know, they're really not pragmatists.

00:23:25.180 So the stuff that bothers pragmatic people doesn't really bother them.

00:23:32.660 And L.A. is not run pragmatically.

00:23:35.740 It's run emotionally. 0.90

00:23:37.840 Like Nithya Raman, who's a total dope.

00:23:40.880 I think the last time I came on, I told you she blamed Toyota for making catalytic converters too easy to steal on their car. 1.00

00:23:48.700 So she's a socialist dope.

00:23:51.820 She said in an interview she was kind of surprised by how this whole thing came about.

00:23:59.040 And she thought she was going to be talking about bike lanes.

00:24:02.780 She thought this election for mayor of Los Angeles with this homeless problem and infrastructure and fire and everything, she wanted to focus on bike lanes.

00:24:13.240 She wanted to focus on road diets, meaning taking two-lane highways and shrinking them down to one-lane highways so people could ride their bikes.

00:24:23.980 Wow.

00:24:25.000 Honestly, that's what she was thinking about. 1.00

00:24:26.820 So that's what these dopes are up there. 1.00

00:24:29.780 And Democrats are emotional voters. 0.97

00:24:32.580 Like, oh, ICE is so mean and Trump is so mean and he's cruel. 1.00

00:24:38.340 They just play to dumb people's emotions all the time. 1.00

00:24:43.560 And when dumb people get emotional, they go, I don't care if the city burns 1.00

00:24:48.180 and I don't care if there's homeless everywhere. 1.00

00:24:50.180 This guy's mean or that person.

00:24:52.360 They're literally running.

00:24:54.380 Karen Bass was running on Spencer Pratt being rude to homeless people. 1.00

00:24:59.340 The guy's a fendal addict. 1.00

00:25:00.760 He's a junkie. 0.99

00:25:01.720 By the way, these people deserve to be treated with dignity. 0.99

00:25:04.260 He's got a load in his pants and he's shooting up behind a dumpster.

00:25:09.320 Well, let's not worry about dignity for a moment.

00:25:12.240 Let's worry about rehab dignity.

00:25:15.260 And then we'll get to the station.

00:25:17.220 He's been gone for a long time now.

00:25:19.900 She was worried that he was being mean to homeless people. 0.98

00:25:24.460 And also Karen Bass is a world-class dope. 1.00

00:25:26.980 All these people are dopes. 0.96

00:25:28.380 and I know I sound redundant, but I will tell you this. The reason we have a homeless problem 0.99

00:25:35.060 is because they will not understand the homeless problem. Karen Bass said when she was talking

00:25:43.140 about Pratt calling these people crazy, she said, you sleep on the sidewalk for two weeks 0.92

00:25:48.760 and tell me if that doesn't make you a little bit crazy. Oh my God. The sidewalk doesn't make you 0.78

00:25:54.360 crazy you have to be crazy to sleep outdoors on the sidewalk she acts like regular folk just lost

00:26:01.320 their job and went and slept on the sidewalk they can't Gavin Newsom sat right here and told me all

00:26:07.440 about homelessness it's insane what he they think these are mothers that got divorced that lost

00:26:14.820 their job and one last point Megan they Karen Bass also says a lot of the homeless these are

00:26:22.620 elderly people who lost their job and now can't pay their rent. Do you know how long in Los Angeles

00:26:29.760 it takes to evict a person from your apartment building if they stop paying rent? The over-under

00:26:35.740 is like 18 years. Every law is on their side. You don't miss one payment and then you're out on the

00:26:42.420 street the next day. If you're in an apartment building in California, in Los Angeles, and you

00:26:48.580 can't pay your rent. You can stay there for at least a year without paying rent with no consequence

00:26:54.540 whatsoever. So what do you mean they lost their job and now they can't pay their rent? You lose

00:26:59.680 your job. You can't pay your rent. You have about two years to get a new job. Yeah. By the way,

00:27:06.020 the other thing is, and we see this in New York all the time too, where there are similar policies.

00:27:10.380 You don't have to live in LA, right? You don't have to live in New York, right? You can go to

00:27:14.580 parts of the country that are a lot cheaper if you are that destitute, if like you really actually

00:27:19.300 do, you cannot afford the cost of living of an apartment there because you lost your job. I mean,

00:27:23.900 it happens. And young people deal with this all the time. They get out of college, their first

00:27:28.240 job isn't very good, and they have no choice but to move to a community that may not be at the top

00:27:33.460 of their list for their long-term living, but they go someplace where they can afford it and build

00:27:38.200 themselves up. And if you happen to fall on hard times in LA and you lose your job and you can't

00:27:42.920 get another one, you could either live off the public dime forevermore because that's an option

00:27:46.620 for you, or you could go to a community that's a little bit more reasonable. You don't actually

00:27:52.240 have to go right to the street as she would like to pretend. Here's a guy, this is making the rounds

00:27:59.660 online. Something you said about Karen Bass reminded me. His name is Doug Allen, and he's

00:28:04.040 the producer behind the hit show Entourage on HBO, which is based on Ari Emanuel's role as a

00:28:09.880 crushing mega agent and his, you know, and his stars who he represents. And here's what he said

00:28:17.340 just yesterday. It's at six. The LA Times gaslighters. It's weird. One of 15 cameras that

00:28:23.420 I now have at this house, two German shepherds, three legal guns, five years ago, didn't lock a

00:28:28.120 door here. But you know what happened? Two animals invaded my house. And no, I'm not racist because

00:28:33.480 they were wearing masks. I don't know if they were white. I don't know if they were Jewish.

00:28:36.940 I don't know if they were fucking rabbis. 1.00

00:28:38.920 I know they were animals because they invaded my house. 1.00

00:28:41.120 I know I don't care what their excuses are, like a lot of you fucking care. 0.99

00:28:44.620 I know invaders of homes should get 20 years. 0.99

00:28:47.560 But I'm not paranoid, so I don't believe your bullshit about the stats and the crime 0.98

00:28:51.860 because everyone in my neighborhood has got the same problem. 0.99

00:28:55.000 They're fucking all putting cameras and hiring security guards because we're all getting broken into. 0.95

00:28:58.960 It's not made up. 0.98

00:29:00.260 It's not false.

00:29:01.280 And this city has collapsed in the last five years. 0.97

00:29:03.840 There is no fucking denying it unless you have an agenda. 0.98

00:29:08.160 And I don't know what that is. 0.98

00:29:09.480 So right now you're putting people in the same position that you did with Trump, who 0.98

00:29:13.800 I did not vote for, by the way, you put them in by making sure we had no fucking options. 0.98

00:29:19.420 OK. 0.98

00:29:20.780 Yeah.

00:29:21.960 Amen.

00:29:23.120 Right.

00:29:23.500 Sing it.

00:29:24.300 I'm sure he speaks for a lot of frustrated left leaning people in L.A. and California.

00:29:30.460 I got to say, I was at Pratt's party last night and I ran into a ton of people.

00:29:39.280 First off, it's weird being in LA and having a bunch of people who agree with you in the same place.

00:29:44.880 Cause that's very rare for me when you're, when I'm me, but I, and I always am, but I ran, it was a weird thing. 1.00

00:29:55.240 I was like, there was a lot of black people.

00:29:57.580 There were a lot of Hispanic people.

00:29:59.560 They're all like, I agree with you 100%.

00:30:01.840 We got to get Pratt in there.

00:30:03.700 This is nuts.

00:30:04.320 And I was like right in the middle of Hollywood, basically.

00:30:06.500 And I was like looking around.

00:30:08.100 I spoke, and I won't say who their husbands were because they were, they'd asked me not to say.

00:30:15.120 But I ran into multiple women whose husbands were very prominent comedians and entertainers and household names, legendary type names.

00:30:26.920 and they were all in on Pratt.

00:30:29.300 They voted for Trump.

00:30:31.120 They disagree with their husbands insanely.

00:30:35.220 And there's a whole group of them 0.80

00:30:37.420 and they're on text threads with other wives and other,

00:30:41.300 and they're like, and I'm like,

00:30:42.440 I can't even believe you people exist.

00:30:44.760 And they're like, oh yeah, there's a lot of us.

00:30:47.440 We're not down with any of this.

00:30:49.300 And I'm like, oh, it's like some kind of quiet,

00:30:52.880 secret underground Murano thing going on.

00:30:56.020 And I couldn't believe it.

00:30:57.700 I'd never seen it before, but there are a lot, and that number's growing.

00:31:03.580 I'm not surprised because I think moms care about safety. 0.99

00:31:07.940 That is one issue that can unite left and right. 0.99

00:31:11.640 We want our kids to be able to have safe schools, safe travel to and from schools.

00:31:17.520 We do not want them getting attacked by criminals in their beds or their homes.

00:31:21.640 or when they get off the school bus to have to step over zombies holding hypodermic needles

00:31:28.260 that they might get stabbed with. 0.57

00:31:30.120 I mean, no mother wants that.

00:31:32.400 And, you know, while the dads are the protectors of the family,

00:31:34.800 the moms are mama bears over the children and will fight most dangers that they can identify.

00:31:40.420 And in L.A., it's tough to miss.

00:31:41.940 Like, listen to that guy, Doug Allen, what he was saying.

00:31:44.620 So I'm sure they're feeling it.

00:31:46.180 Even though abortion is always at the top of the list, they know that's taken care of in California.

00:31:51.900 They know they're not going to lose their right to abortion if Spencer Pratt becomes mayor.

00:31:56.340 That's not something a mayor controls.

00:31:58.980 So, yeah, why wouldn't you?

00:32:00.000 I think there's probably a secret Pratt vote, same way there was a secret Trump vote, or reluctant, where they don't tell the pollsters, they don't tell anybody.

00:32:10.080 But once they get in there, they pull the lever.

00:32:12.600 Yes.

00:32:12.900 You mentioned his party last night.

00:32:15.100 here was his final messaging going into or or was it today actually you know it was when he

00:32:21.080 found out that he was in the second place position as of now anyway well let's hope he stays there

00:32:27.460 because that'll move him on to the general here's top five obviously got one in five more months of

00:32:32.680 me exposing all the failures of our mayor so it's gonna be a fun ride i hope she's ready

00:32:39.900 Are you ready?

00:32:41.360 I mean, I was born for this, clearly.

00:32:44.820 All right, so he's right.

00:32:45.960 God wanted it.

00:32:46.920 And let's just check in with how Team Democrat is doing. 0.99

00:32:50.120 And Karen Bass, who decided to spend her final hours on this race with Kathy Griffin.

00:32:58.020 And see if any of this messaging is familiar to you at all in Democrat politics.

00:33:03.000 Adam, here we go.

00:33:03.660 South seven. 0.98

00:33:04.060 I really think a lot of the adversity comes your way because you're a black woman.

00:33:10.080 It seems like the city council can be hostile towards you as well as L.A. Sheriff's Department and LAPD.

00:33:18.300 What it's like dealing with such maybe non-diverse groups as law enforcement, although they are diverse, but there's maybe some white nationalism in law enforcement is my opinion.

00:33:32.780 I think the greatest misunderstanding though is the fact that there's no way a city or a state

00:33:40.820 or a county has power over the federal government. People would like for me to make LAPD arrest ICE

00:33:48.320 officers, but what they don't understand, it's not that LAPD is giving me a hard time. LAPD does not

00:33:55.020 have the power to do that. It's very important that I do everything I can to protect our immigrant

00:34:00.620 communities but it's also important for people to understand what i can do and what i can't do

00:34:07.420 all right bunch of thoughts bunch of thoughts yeah please okay this thing where first off

00:34:16.060 people need of color when you're being called you know then all this race hustling is going on and

00:34:22.800 they're calling lapd racist or white nationalists or something stop nodding to say no that's that's 0.65

00:34:29.780 not the case it's majority minority for them yes why do every all the black politicians are like 0.95

00:34:37.480 when they're going the country's built on racism and slavery and they just go oh yeah oh yeah oh

00:34:43.300 yeah it's like it's bobblehead night at the uh at the obama library i don't know what the reference

00:34:52.700 was but stop it just say no you know what that's not a situation i'm black i was voted in as mayor

00:34:59.220 So I don't, I don't know what racism you talk about, but listen to me, Tom Bradley is black.

00:35:06.480 Tom Bradley was the mayor of Los Angeles when 1973, before you were born, Megan, before

00:35:15.960 you were born, my dear, don't argue with me.

00:35:20.160 I got eyes before you were born.

00:35:23.900 We had a black mayor in 1973, over 50 years ago.

00:35:31.060 And Tom Bradley was mayor from 73 to 93.

00:35:36.920 He was mayor.

00:35:38.980 I mean, I was literally like in the fourth grade, maybe the third grade when he became mayor.

00:35:45.140 By the time he got out of there, I was like working on a construction site with a beer and a cigarette in each hand.

00:35:53.120 Like, that's how long this guy.

00:35:56.760 But L.A.'s racist. 0.95

00:35:57.920 But the voters are racist and the city council's racist still. 1.00

00:36:02.800 And that's why there's been any blowback on Karen Bass. 0.62

00:36:05.660 Right. And everyone liked Tom Bradley. 1.00

00:36:08.020 He was a Democrat. He was competent.

00:36:10.820 He was a Democrat in the old school version of a Democrat, which is sensible and pragmatic.

00:36:18.800 And he ran the city and it was fine.

00:36:20.960 And nobody said, nobody said a word about his color ever. 1.00

00:36:24.540 So that's, that's number one with this stupid race hustle, which is insane. 1.00

00:36:31.060 Also, um, we got our first female black mare and it didn't work out. 1.00

00:36:37.140 Her name is Karen Bass.

00:36:38.420 We did the experiment.

00:36:39.620 Great.

00:36:40.480 Check the box. 1.00

00:36:41.500 We had our first female black mare. 1.00

00:36:44.160 She sucked and ruined the city. 1.00

00:36:46.200 Now let's move on to the guy with the British accent and see if we can get something done or Spencer Pratt. 0.99

00:36:52.460 Yeah, those two guys.

00:36:54.220 I like, I mean, on the statehouse level, I like how it's looking.

00:36:57.180 I'm thrilled that Steve Hilton appears, at least as of now, to be securely in the top two.

00:37:03.400 And that Tom Steyer doesn't look like he's going to make it.

00:37:07.140 Thank God, despite his plea that he would, his promise that he would ride the D.

00:37:11.980 I mean, by the way, that's not all.

00:37:14.820 This is the other thing.

00:37:15.600 So that was his closing message. And then on top of that, TMZ got its hands on video of him singing with a bunch of drag queens in West Hollywood the night before the election. Look at Satvor.

00:37:45.600 I'm so embarrassed for him. 1.00

00:37:57.540 You can't say you're going to ride the D and sing with the trannies and actually try to tell us that you're not going to back down and you're tough. 1.00

00:38:05.960 These things are incongruous. 1.00

00:38:08.620 Voters understand there's a lie happening here on like a visceral level.

00:38:12.960 And I actually am kind of encouraged that he's been rejected, God willing.

00:38:19.180 I mean, the vote's not done, but I think as of now, he's been rejected.

00:38:21.940 That's a good sign, Adam.

00:38:23.560 You know, like, this isn't working.

00:38:25.700 This particular lane has been defeated as a viable way to win election, even in California. 0.78

00:38:33.100 Yeah, Tom Steyer's like, a chicken in every pot and a dildo in every nightstand. 0.99

00:38:39.640 He's a weirdo. 1.00

00:38:41.120 He's a billionaire. 0.99

00:38:42.160 Let me tell you something. If I was a 70-something-year-old weirdo billionaire, I would just go buy Epstein's Island and call it a life.

00:38:51.720 You know, just call it a life. What are you doing?

00:38:55.160 Same. Me too. I'd be sitting on the beach at St. Bart's, you know, watching the boats roll in.

00:39:02.260 I would not be dancing with a bunch of trannies, which is just a naked, you know, attempt at pandering to a certain crowd in California. 1.00

00:39:10.800 And I love that it's been rejected. 1.00

00:39:12.900 He so far, God willing, it's been rejected.

00:39:15.560 Sadly, it was not rejected in the case of the vile, reprehensible, disgusting weirdo Scott Wiener, who did manage to advance in the primary for Nancy Pelosi's soon to be vacated seat.

00:39:33.340 he he's a state representative right now and he's managed to advance to the general election 0.95

00:39:41.100 for that seat and that's very unfortunate because he is truly a devil i can't stand this guy here

00:39:50.320 he is in may 2026 could be could be a tom steyer event um if you look at this soundbite sod eight 0.96

00:39:57.320 it's an enormous tranny 0.64

00:40:06.560 we get it we get it 0.77

00:40:24.800 This is a sanctioned campaign event.

00:40:28.300 That's enough.

00:40:28.940 I got it. 1.00

00:40:29.960 But for the listening audience, it's yet another tranny who's in baby clothes. 1.00

00:40:34.180 It's like the trans baby is a thing now where he's got like the little pink ruffled, like 1.00

00:40:40.240 little pants you put on a girl, like a toddler in a dress. 1.00

00:40:44.620 And they love to infantilize themselves so that people want to, what? 0.89

00:40:49.880 I don't know. 1.00

00:40:50.380 Like they're promoting pedophilia and trans. 1.00

00:40:53.280 I don't know what they're doing. I know it's sick. Scott Wiener is sick. He's sick. And he's 1.00

00:40:59.180 going to win that seat, Adam. I just imagine like reanimating John Wayne and Charlton Heston

00:41:07.280 and going, let me tell you guys what's going on in your city in 2026 and your state. And they'd go,

00:41:16.160 what is it? I go, well, most of the Democratic politicians are talking about the trans issue.

00:41:22.100 And they'd be like, transportation? Good idea. 0.70

00:41:25.700 Finally going to widen that 405.

00:41:27.540 No, no, this is something you guys never heard of. 0.99

00:41:31.100 This is dudes who tuck their junk between their legs and mince about, 0.99

00:41:35.940 and they're fighting so they can do it in front of five-year-olds. 0.99

00:41:39.860 And they'd be like, what the hell is going on over there? 0.50

00:41:43.760 And I'm like, they all went nuts.

00:41:45.820 I don't, again, I don't know how big a constituency there is for the trans. 1.00

00:41:52.880 Like how, you act like these people are 80% of the country or something. 0.95

00:41:57.220 Like these are, it's a small number of mental patients who want to terrorize kids in libraries. 0.89

00:42:05.080 Why is this your, why is this your hill to die on?

00:42:09.260 I have to say though, on the subject of whether we've made real progress on this front,

00:42:14.560 notwithstanding Scott Wiener and the way Steyer spent his final days,

00:42:20.880 we are making some progress on the LGBTQ fight.

00:42:27.320 I'm all for the LGs. 1.00

00:42:29.340 I don't really believe in the Bs. 0.93

00:42:30.640 If you're a B, you're really just an L or a G. 0.97

00:42:36.020 But whatever, I'm for the Ls and the Gs, fine. 1.00

00:42:39.720 But the TQs, it's a different matter. 0.98

00:42:42.960 And for the first time in years, we're seeing very little on the pride front as we celebrate Pride Month. 0.97

00:42:53.020 Because it's not enough to be, like, cool with somebody being gay or lesbian. 0.98

00:42:58.160 There's a certain faction of this group that wants us to really celebrate, as Roger Ailes used to say, where you put your pecker. 0.98

00:43:04.920 They want us to celebrate it.

00:43:06.920 Like, I'm so thrilled you put it there.

00:43:09.100 It's a no.

00:43:09.700 I don't need to be celebrated for my choices in the bedroom, and I don't need to celebrate anybody else's.

00:43:15.420 Now, GMA, Good Morning America, apparently didn't get the message, and that's no surprise because, of course, this is a Disney property.

00:43:23.460 You know, it's the Disney family over there at ABC.

00:43:26.540 And so while we've had good things like Target, for once, not really leaning in.

00:43:32.600 And the tuck-friendly bathing suits with extra crotch coverage that they had back in 2023, that's not really taking over anymore.

00:43:46.040 So that's good.

00:43:47.900 It appears that they've calmed down.

00:43:51.580 Now, Good Morning America, different story.

00:43:54.680 Hold on a second.

00:43:55.420 I think we've got an example.

00:43:57.040 Here's SOT24.

00:43:58.660 We're kicking off Pride Month with Tori Johnson and two business owners that we love, Jason Wu, the founder of Jason Wu Beauty, and Christian Siriano, the founder of Runway, two incredible products that we're featuring today, Tor.

00:44:11.900 Oh, yeah. And so we're starting with this is not just like a celebrity brand.

00:44:16.720 This is like the real deal, clean and effective results that you're going to see and feel.

00:44:21.600 Chris McMillan, right, making his product debut here.

00:44:28.660 Okay, now we're doing like Pride Salsa.

00:44:33.040 All right, all right.

00:44:34.660 Welcome back to GMA.

00:44:36.440 That was an amazing performance.

00:44:37.900 So let's take a look at our GMA Pride camera.

00:44:40.740 It's Ezra Sosa from Dancing with the Stars.

00:44:43.560 And here's his message.

00:44:44.780 Hey, Ezra.

00:44:45.260 What's up, Pride Salsa?

00:44:47.360 It's Ezra Sosa from Dancing with the Stars.

00:44:49.460 And I have a very special message for you guys.

00:44:52.760 Wait, Ezra, why are you doing that?

00:44:54.440 Why don't you just come out and tell us in person?

00:44:56.920 Come on out, Ezra.

00:44:58.660 So I wanted to donate $10,000 for you guys.

00:45:12.800 For Pride Salsa.

00:45:14.420 You know how many butt plugs you can buy for $10,000? 0.51

00:45:18.040 It's a lot. 0.64

00:45:21.220 By the way, I forgot to tell you, over at Target,

00:45:23.520 on their homepage, on day one of Pride 2026,

00:45:27.700 They have a USA section with straight, white, blonde people who are all part of the same nuclear male-female-led family front and center.

00:45:40.660 So that's my evidence that Target has gotten the message since the days of the Tuckett bathing suit, which appear to have disappeared, at least as far as we could find or tell.

00:45:51.180 So that's Target, but GMA and Disney, different story.

00:45:55.040 Pride Salsa, $10,000.

00:45:57.380 I don't know what that's going to do.

00:46:00.220 You know, I hate all of this stuff. 1.00

00:46:03.060 I hate all the, you know, black month, the gay month, the trans month. 1.00

00:46:07.940 I don't want any of it. 1.00

00:46:10.040 I don't like any of it.

00:46:11.620 I think it always sends a message that we need to fix things that don't need to be fixed.

00:46:19.180 Like every single Martin Luther King Day speech since I've been alive has always been, you know, we've made a lot of progress, but there's still a lot to go.

00:46:31.440 Like we still need every single you can see it every single year into modern times.

00:46:37.540 They go, we've come a long way, but we got a long way to go.

00:46:41.760 And it's like, tell us specifically what you're talking about in terms of a long way to go. 0.62

00:46:46.580 Because that says to me, like, you're still like kind of Jim Crow-y, you know, and maybe some of you can vote. 0.80

00:46:54.840 You'll never get there. 0.63

00:46:56.300 You'll never get there.

00:46:57.880 And also, at this point, who's holding you back? 1.00

00:47:01.400 Whitey? 1.00

00:47:02.780 The government? 1.00

00:47:03.840 Like, you tell, yeah, the long way it goes, your families are effed up.

00:47:07.120 That's what's, and your culture screwed up, and you need to work on that.

00:47:10.820 Somebody needs, the honest conversation you want to have around race is that conversation.

00:47:16.000 not a long way to go to get past racism a long way to go well look i mean every time you take

00:47:24.320 one step forward it does feel a little like two steps backward i i would not be talking about

00:47:28.740 this person if she didn't put her out there but j-lo has got a child who is female who now

00:47:36.780 was quote non-binary which again is not a thing and now has come out as fully trans uh so now

00:47:44.780 she wants us to call her a him and a he and j-lo's down for it here's her here's her message

00:47:52.320 about her about well pride month stop 30 hi beautiful people it's jennifer lopez star of

00:47:58.560 office romance and i am here to wish you a very happy pride month let's be honest you deserve

00:48:17.300 understand but in all seriousness i hope all of your months are filled with love laughter joy

00:48:23.200 and chosen family and if you're not out yet that's okay we're here and we're waiting for you

00:48:28.660 whenever you're ready no rush no pressure all right just love now let's get loud and proud

00:48:34.420 this month i love you happy pride

00:48:36.680 Okay. So here's the problem, Adam. J-Lo has spent far too much time in front of the camera

00:48:45.300 looking for accolades, snaps, actual snaps with, you know, camera lenses and snaps like you go,

00:48:51.300 girl, and far too little time at home. Otherwise, she wouldn't have this problem

00:48:55.200 with her daughter, who is now so desperate for attention that she's declared she's no longer

00:49:00.040 going to be emmy j-lo's daughter she's going to be uh someone named oscar muniz and will officially

00:49:07.160 become quote a man which is not possible this is an 18 year old twin daughter of hers it's not

00:49:14.780 accidental if you ask me that her ex ben affleck is having the same exact issue with his daughter

00:49:20.460 who's pretending to be a man yeah this is like they need to go home and spend time with their

00:49:26.840 children who are clearly desperate for attention your thoughts all right million first off she

00:49:33.780 says pride should be all year round yeah that sounds awesome that'd be awesome pride month

00:49:40.380 which is pride year and then it just rolled into the next year how about we alternate like i'll

00:49:45.220 give you guys pride year and then the next year gets to be straight dude year where you guys shut 0.98

00:49:50.400 the fuck up for 10 minutes and just leave us alone and don't make us look at you okay and by the way 0.98

00:49:56.160 We got to get loud and proud. 1.00

00:49:58.120 Oh, believe me, you're loud.

00:49:59.880 I hear you in my sleep.

00:50:01.100 So enough of that.

00:50:02.300 Check. 1.00

00:50:02.560 Check that loud box. 0.99

00:50:06.340 So as far as this goes, a couple of rules I'd like to institute because we used to have trans.

00:50:14.040 We had we had cross dressers.

00:50:16.840 We had pre-op.

00:50:18.340 We had a bunch of different labels.

00:50:20.600 So we knew where everyone was at.

00:50:23.160 So, like, I'll give you an example.

00:50:25.160 When the New York times talks about Robert De Niro's daughter, they say he, because he, she decided she was a, he, so they want to respect that.

00:50:40.780 So when the New York times writes the article, they go, Robert De Niro's son decided he would trans and, and cross.

00:50:49.720 And, and I'm like, well, now I'm confused.

00:50:51.700 Is it his son?

00:50:53.240 Very.

00:50:53.620 His son? 1.00

00:50:54.420 no his daughter you idiots 1.00

00:50:56.580 his daughter 1.00

00:50:58.520 became his son

00:51:00.660 but stop saying his son because

00:51:02.480 now when you say like we go

00:51:04.000 they'll write an article go J-Lo's

00:51:06.660 son transitioned

00:51:08.420 I'll go oh so now 0.70

00:51:10.500 it's a girl 0.98

00:51:11.140 so we gotta have some ground rules because I'm

00:51:14.520 swimming here in 1.00

00:51:16.580 your transing going on 1.00

00:51:18.500 she's a dope 1.00

00:51:19.640 she did a whole Super Bowl halftime 1.00

00:51:22.680 show that was gonna be dedicated to getting 1.00

00:51:24.300 kids out of cages at the border. Remember that? And all she did was shake her fat ass the entire

00:51:29.740 halftime show. So shut up. She needed to be thinking about her kids back at home. 1.00

00:52:52.520 like being in a great location or having great amenities.

00:52:55.340 Ugh, I love my Verbo for the view. 1.00

00:52:57.600 Good reason.

00:52:58.420 Ooh, and the sauna. Sweet.

00:53:01.200 Another good reason.

00:53:02.180 And that it's one of those good saunas with the hot rock thing.

00:53:05.360 Ugh, love a good hot rock thing. Fancy.

00:53:08.340 That's also a reason.

00:53:10.160 Don't worry about surprises.

00:53:11.700 Book a Verbo you'll love with the loved-by-guest filter.

00:53:13.900 If you know, you Verbo.

00:53:20.080 Back with me now, Adam Carolla.

00:53:22.260 He's host of The Adam Carolla Show, which you can find over at adamcarolla.com and on

00:53:28.720 all podcast platforms and on the Megyn Kelly channel on Sirius XM 111 in the mornings.

00:53:35.900 Okay, so we've got to get into the drama happening over at CBS News because they're imploding

00:53:43.000 over there.

00:53:43.480 And when things are going poorly in the ratings, that's when everything falls apart.

00:53:48.520 You know, I mean, it's no accident that there's so much infighting right now and all these firings, because if they were at the top of the ratings heap, they'd be getting along and nobody would be finger pointing.

00:53:59.840 But they're failing. And I'm sorry, but they're failing because CBS is a dinosaur that doesn't understand new media or what people want.

00:54:08.020 And then the person they brought in to fix it knows nothing about broadcast journalism.

00:54:14.380 Nothing.

00:54:15.460 Literally nothing.

00:54:16.260 Barry Weiss knows nothing about broadcast journalism.

00:54:18.920 She's never worked in television.

00:54:21.020 So I'm sorry.

00:54:22.200 You may think she's great.

00:54:23.100 You may love the free press.

00:54:24.240 That's not the person to fix a television news outlet. 0.53

00:54:30.300 And only the Ellisons, who don't seem to know much about television news either, would be

00:54:35.740 so misguided as to think somebody who is not of TV, in TV, or has any familiarity with it

00:54:41.720 would be the one to fix it. On top of that, it's been very clear to yours truly from the beginning

00:54:47.100 that CBS of all outlets would never accept an outsider. It has to be somebody from within

00:54:54.560 their ranks that is the most insular group within television news. You couldn't find one more

00:55:01.080 insular. That would be more averse to an outsider being parachuted in and dropped in at the top.

00:55:07.700 And you can say all day long, oh, screw them, the talent. Who do they think they are? They're

00:55:12.200 not the executives. They don't own it. Fine. You can say that. But what is your news organization?

00:55:17.460 Unless you're going to fire them all, you're going to have to find a way to get buy-in

00:55:21.540 from the ones who are there. And it's just not going to work to shove it down their throats

00:55:26.380 and tell them that they have to like it.

00:55:28.480 And it hasn't been working.

00:55:30.400 The ratings are in the basement.

00:55:32.580 They've never been worse, literally never been worse.

00:55:34.440 For the morning show and the evening news show,

00:55:36.360 they're both failing mightily.

00:55:38.000 And 60 Minutes is now in trouble

00:55:39.780 and has never seen so much turmoil.

00:55:42.660 So what's, and just for the record,

00:55:46.440 back in December, this is December 11th of this year,

00:55:50.620 I predicted that Barry Weiss,

00:55:53.760 who was newly installed over there,

00:55:55.200 would wind up firing Scott Pelley. 0.94

00:55:57.820 I knew that she would fire him.

00:55:59.240 I knew this would not work out.

00:56:01.120 I also said at the same time 0.94

00:56:03.220 that they would eat her alive from within,

00:56:05.060 which is happening.

00:56:06.140 But this is what I said about Scott Pelley

00:56:08.000 December 11th of 25.

00:56:10.540 Scott Pelley now gets honored

00:56:12.060 for the very report itself.

00:56:14.380 And this will be him at the awards

00:56:16.280 with his glasses down at the end of his news.

00:56:19.980 I was right all along.

00:56:22.320 I'm better than you.

00:56:23.840 and we all know that because I host 60 Minutes.

00:56:28.900 And if Barry is the woman I think and believe her to be, 0.99

00:56:32.320 she will fire his ass before we are halfway through 2026. 1.00

00:56:36.860 That's my prediction. 1.00

00:56:37.900 He's fucking out of there. 0.99

00:56:39.540 Look forward to that news. 1.00

00:56:41.640 And it came.

00:56:42.900 It came today.

00:56:44.160 He's fired before we are halfway through 2026

00:56:47.100 and Barry let him go and I don't blame her one bit.

00:56:50.860 It was the right call. 0.99

00:56:52.000 He is arrogant. 1.00

00:56:52.940 He's a prick. 1.00

00:56:53.840 His programming and his just narcissism and closed-mindedness on the air 0.99

00:57:00.320 entitled him to a firing long, long ago.

00:57:04.480 So this is overdue. 0.99

00:57:06.620 But having said that, the way this shit is going down is completely unprofessional. 0.98

00:57:11.980 And Bush League, and I'll just tell you one thing, Adam. 0.99

00:57:14.540 So all the drama spilled out into the public.

00:57:17.880 And the new executive producer of 60 Minutes, who's brand new there, is not respected.

00:57:23.060 and nobody likes him either. He's never done any broadcast journalism either. He was from

00:57:26.780 the New York Times, which is a print publication. He ran their documentaries unit and did some

00:57:31.000 online videos here and there. This is not going to be respected at CBS News at 60 Minutes.

00:57:37.000 Get it through your thick heads, okay? There has to be some massaging of the team of talent

00:57:42.680 and producers who are there, or fire them all. Do one or the other, but don't just try to say,

00:57:47.300 I will parachute in somebody with zero experience and you will respect him or else that's that's just not going to work.

00:57:54.660 That's not how it works anyway.

00:57:57.960 So they try to parachute this guy in.

00:58:00.160 He's not respected.

00:58:01.320 And he and Scott Pelley clashed.

00:58:04.840 Scott Pelley wanted to know in front of the whole staff, demanded answers on why this guy and Barry fired the old executive producer and all their top most senior correspondents last week.

00:58:16.460 without cause. It's been a bloodbath over there. And he's the, you know, managing editor and felt

00:58:22.880 like he had the role of saying, how about some explanations? How about some answers to the rest

00:58:29.280 of us here who are angry? And instead of like engaging Scott Pelley at all, and trust me,

00:58:33.900 I can't stand Scott Pelley, but there is a way of managing talent and the best in the business,

00:58:38.300 like Roger Ailes knew how to do it. Instead of managing him and actually trying to speak with

00:58:43.460 him. It appears they just told him to fuck off. Okay. It's fine. I don't, that's fine. But you 1.00

00:58:48.680 are guaranteeing yourself a media scandal. And I'll just tell you something about Roger. Okay.

00:58:53.380 Cause I was very close with Roger. Yes. He sexually harassed me when I was young in my

00:58:56.600 career, but we got past it and we were very close for my tenure at Fox and I watched him and I

00:59:02.440 was his sounding board for many, many big decisions at Fox news. And he would almost

00:59:09.240 never fire anyone. The only people he would really fire were people who tried to hijack him,

00:59:16.880 who were like, I want you to double my salary or I'm out of here. I'm going to MSNBC. And he would

00:59:22.280 say, don't let the door hit you on the way out. By the way, I have the same policy. Anybody who

00:59:26.320 tries to hijack me and or else, bye, everyone's replaceable. Get out. I will never be hijacked. 0.51

00:59:33.260 But what he would do with talent he cared about or producing staff he cared about,

00:59:37.120 who had to be moved out of their position because they weren't making it in the ratings

00:59:41.280 or their show was failing for whatever reason, is he would make them think that they had gotten

00:59:47.380 something close to a promotion. He would give them a better title and he would usually give

00:59:52.220 them a raise, even though they were getting a demotion. And you know what that did? It kept

00:59:57.700 them quiet. I can count on one or two fingers the number of times that we had like an open talent

01:00:04.520 war that spilled out into the news media in any big, huge way while I was at Fox. And it's because

01:00:09.960 Roger knew how to manage talent. And Adam, it's not because he, Roger absolutely could have ruled

01:00:17.460 with an iron fist. He was the most powerful man in news. Everybody at Fox News knew he was the

01:00:22.980 only man in charge. He was it, not the Murdochs, him. And so we all had ultimate fealty to Roger,

01:00:29.780 But he still took the effort to manage us because he knew it was bad for Fox to have the entire staff fired or the top people quit in a fit.

01:00:42.800 And so even the ones who he didn't personally love and whom he was demoting, he would make them feel special, valued and cared about for the good of the organization.

01:00:54.320 What you have over at CBS News right now is amateur hour in the management ranks, and that is why we are seeing this very public dispute play out before our very eyes with Scott Pelley's confrontation of this new guy making the news.

01:01:11.280 Now, Barry issues a public statement trying to claim that they worked with him.

01:01:15.220 The new executive producer, this Nick Bilton from The New York Times, issues a public letter explaining how Scott Pelley wouldn't dialogue with him.

01:01:24.920 We shouldn't be hearing any of that from him.

01:01:27.360 And now Scott Pelley's firing back with his own missive, reiterating what allegedly happened in this meeting.

01:01:33.220 We can get into all these details because they're interesting to us as outsiders.

01:01:37.260 But that's my take on it.

01:01:39.020 It's been mismanagement from a team of newbies that doesn't know what they're doing and doesn't have the confidence to act like true bosses, both for the good and the bad. 0.97

01:01:47.940 And a prick, arrogant, narcissist jerk who's been in the top role at 60 Minutes for so long that he thinks whatever he says goes and has the temerity to question any editorial changes that come along with new management, some of which have been very good. 0.93

01:02:05.260 Honestly, like the attempt to make 60 minutes somewhat more fair and balanced is a good thing. 0.99

01:02:10.900 It's a noble thing, but he can't have it.

01:02:12.720 And that actually seems to be what he's truly objecting to.

01:02:15.760 Any attempt to massage the editorial at 60, which he thinks he has total control over and he's learning the hard way, he's wrong.

01:02:23.980 So your thoughts on all that?

01:02:26.260 I know Barry.

01:02:27.420 I like Barry.

01:02:28.740 I've done some events with Barry.

01:02:31.820 She is not experienced in that department.

01:02:34.840 I completely agree with you on that. 1.00

01:02:37.400 Scott Pelley, I watched his commencement address at Harvard or wherever it was, Brown, and he's an arrogant douchebag and he's a blowhard. 0.99

01:02:47.200 Wake Forest. 1.00

01:02:48.380 Wake Forest.

01:02:49.560 I used to watch 60 Minutes religiously and then I stopped watching because they became woke and left leaning.

01:02:58.840 And, you know, when Leslie Stahl was talking to Trump, sir, sir, you can't prove that.

01:03:06.260 I was like, OK, so you're no longer can't be verified. 1.00

01:03:09.700 What an idiot she is. 1.00

01:03:11.060 It's no longer a news organization in my mind. 1.00

01:03:13.700 So I just stopped watching.

01:03:15.300 Why would I why would anyone watch it when it's so clearly leaning to the left?

01:03:20.800 Now, you have to know that if someone like Barry Weiss shows up to an organization like this, they're not saying, let's do a little nip and let's do a little tuck.

01:03:31.700 They're saying we need to break bones and reset them.

01:03:35.660 And Scott Pelley and the rest of those types are not going to go without a fight because they're leftists.

01:03:43.220 and even though they claim to be journalists my favorite part about Katie Couric or any of these 0.99

01:03:49.640 idiots is the second they go out on the their own we see just who they are after claiming their 0.98

01:03:55.980 whole career to be fair and balanced you know what I mean and like it'd be like me going well 1.00

01:04:03.720 I only turned gay after the divorce it's like did you you were 51 really well I was married for 22

01:04:11.540 really you weren't gay in your 40s nope it's like come on so all these people yeah jim acosta yes

01:04:20.120 they all magically get super leftist and super liberal and super democrat it's like well that's

01:04:27.340 who you always were because you're in your 50s 60s when you're doing this job so spare us this

01:04:33.600 fair and balanced bs with as a journalist i like when they go you don't know how i vote yes i do

01:04:40.940 I listened to you all day back on Trump. This is insulting. So they probably should have just

01:04:47.180 hired Barry Weiss and then just cleaned house day one. They said, look, we're not going to

01:04:53.440 have internal battles, especially with the left who are so righteous. They really look at it as

01:05:00.640 their job to battle everyone who may be perceived as anything right of center. They probably should

01:05:07.900 have just shaken the whole thing like an etch-a-sketch and just went, we're starting

01:05:10.880 right now.

01:05:12.240 Yep.

01:05:13.260 I agree.

01:05:14.060 That was an option.

01:05:15.100 But if you're going to stick with the current staff on air and off, then I'm sorry to inform

01:05:22.840 you, they do need to be massaged.

01:05:25.040 Yes.

01:05:25.400 They do.

01:05:25.960 Not Scott Pelley. 1.00

01:05:27.000 I'm not saying exactly like, go kiss Scott Pelley's ass. 0.99

01:05:29.720 But for the good of the, is it good for CBS News to have this fight spilling out into 1.00

01:05:34.280 the papers, this nasty, petty back and forth?

01:05:36.700 It diminishes Barry Weiss. It diminishes this new guy, Nick Bilton. It diminishes Scott Pelley. All of them. It makes all of them look bad. And if you were managing an organization, you would understand that's not good for the company. It's not good for the shareholders.

01:05:52.520 And therefore, I might have to eat a piece of humble pie in order to maintain an outward-facing humility and stability.

01:06:04.740 And that is why, instead of going in and trying to fire the—

01:06:09.700 Because the one guy, Don—what was his name who left, Steve?

01:06:14.060 Oh, right.

01:06:15.680 Oh, Bill. It was Bill Owens. Yeah, sorry, sorry.

01:06:17.980 Bill Owens left, and it was his big performative resignation.

01:06:21.700 And they all liked him, but they were all super sad.

01:06:23.880 And then they put in this longtime CBS guy's daughter as the new executive producer.

01:06:31.000 And she did have some support because she was like this sort of lifetimer.

01:06:35.300 And really, I think it was probably Scott Pelley running 60 at that point.

01:06:38.740 So they had some continuity and they had some support going internally.

01:06:42.820 And 60 was chugging along in the way these leftists over at CBS wanted it to chug.

01:06:47.420 Um, and what you should have done if, if, if Barry and those who are making these decisions

01:06:53.540 is if you wanted to change the makeup, if you wanted this woman out, she should have

01:06:58.420 been given a promotion and ideally a raise to go run the documentary unit. 1.00

01:07:04.900 That's where everybody goes.

01:07:06.200 Okay.

01:07:06.980 Whatever.

01:07:07.660 Find a way of doing it.

01:07:09.180 Roger was more clever than that, but you don't have to be some way for them to save face

01:07:14.200 so that you haven't humiliated women like Sharon Alfonsi.

01:07:19.240 I'm no fan of Sharon Alfonsi. 0.73

01:07:20.520 I thought she was an absurd correspondent.

01:07:22.500 But the people inside 60 loved her, okay?

01:07:26.500 The people inside 60 loved the interim executive producer.

01:07:29.740 They loved the other woman who got fired.

01:07:31.060 So you need to manage this by letting them save face,

01:07:36.960 letting them participate in where they're going next.

01:07:40.740 And those people, trust me, at CBS,

01:07:42.720 think that Scott Pelley is great. He's been there, what, like 30 years? They think he deserves some

01:07:48.800 measure of respect. I don't share in that. I'm enjoying watching him twist in the wind. But

01:07:54.040 that's not how they feel inside CBS. So if you have responsibility for managing CBS, you need

01:07:59.320 to manage this situation in a way that it stays as relatively smooth and quiet as you can. Instead

01:08:05.620 of getting your back up that he disrespected you and then issuing your public statement and then

01:08:11.740 It's a back and forth, every second of which you're losing market share and respect. 0.99

01:08:17.440 So it's a management fucking nightmare. 0.93

01:08:20.900 Now, back on the subject of whether Scott Pelley should have been there at all, Adam, the answer is no. 0.99

01:08:27.060 No, he helped ruin 60 Minutes and CBS.

01:08:30.580 He was no Mike Wallace.

01:08:32.120 He was no Ed Bradley.

01:08:34.460 This guy, I could be here all day.

01:08:37.360 And we actually did this one day.

01:08:38.680 We took up a whole hour showing 60 Minutes clips and what they have become.

01:08:44.040 And it's absolutely shameful and a shadow of its former self.

01:08:47.560 But let me just give you this one of Scott Pelley.

01:08:49.860 The audience knows what I'm about to show.

01:08:52.000 It is when he had on the Moms for Liberty founders, a great and noble organization,

01:08:59.060 and tried to dismiss their concerns about disgusting, like, graphic sex books 0.98

01:09:07.740 and LGBTQ advanced graphic books making their way into elementary school and middle school 0.55

01:09:15.460 and, of course, high school, school libraries.

01:09:18.900 Watch.

01:09:19.940 Parents send their children to school to be educated, not indoctrinated into ideology.

01:09:24.380 What ideology are they being indoctrinated into?

01:09:27.600 Let's just say children in America cannot read.

01:09:31.600 They often dodged questions with talking points.

01:09:35.400 You're being evasive. 0.98

01:09:36.400 21% of Hispanic students are reading on grade level. 1.00

01:09:39.220 You're being evasive.

01:09:39.780 What ideology are the children being indoctrinated into?

01:09:43.800 What is your fear?

01:09:45.120 I think parents' fears are realized.

01:09:48.000 They're looking at these books where sexual discussions are happening with their children at younger and younger ages.

01:09:53.540 Tiffany Justice read from sexually explicit books written for older teens, but found in a few lower schools. 0.98

01:10:02.960 Most people wouldn't want them in a lower school.

01:10:06.000 But in a tactic of outrage politics, Moms for Liberty takes a kernel of truth and concludes these examples are not rare mistakes, but a plot to sexualize children. 1.00

01:10:20.580 He's such a dope. 0.99

01:10:22.140 Adam. A case went up to the U.S. Supreme Court not long after that, where it was acknowledged by the Supreme Court of the United States that these books are making their way into young children's school libraries to the point where parents needed to have an opt out option, which the Supreme Court found constitutional on religious grounds.

01:10:51.140 Did Scott Pelley go back and update his reporting to apologize to Moms for Liberty for wrongfully chastising them for making these claims, which were acknowledged by the Supreme Court of the United States?

01:11:03.960 Did he acknowledge to his audience that he had misled them?

01:11:07.780 No, he didn't.

01:11:09.260 And so I have zero, zero tolerance for his waxing poetic about the editorial changes coming to 60 Minutes and how they're being.

01:11:17.380 It's so wrong and he doesn't want it touched.

01:11:19.580 So it's like there's to me, there's no one to root for here because he's awful and was he had no business being the main anchor at a property like 60 Minutes or at least the old 60 Minutes.

01:11:32.180 And the way that CBS management has handled this has been abhorrent, too.

01:11:36.120 It's been wrong from the start.

01:11:37.840 You know, my favorite part about all the explicit material in the elementary school library is when one of the moms tries to read one of the books that's from the library in front of Congress and they tell her we don't allow that kind of language here in these in this house.

01:11:57.840 and I'm like right in front of these adults in front of these and then average age you know 64

01:12:03.300 and a half we don't allow this but we're arguing to put it in the elementary schools but this whole

01:12:08.640 thing it's kind of that Scott Wiener thing too it's like I don't know why do we have to have

01:12:16.080 this argument at all all the time you know it's like well the trans story hour it's not only for

01:12:23.940 the kids there's some adults there it's at a library sure it's like do we have to keep arguing

01:12:31.500 this insane point that we just don't want kids exposed to graphic things at a young age can we

01:12:38.800 just leave it at that or do we have to just keep arguing about this yeah no we do because of 60

01:12:47.500 minutes because of its editorial take, which, let's face it, has been in desperate need of

01:12:54.160 correction for years now. So I actually, I mean, I do applaud the effort to try to right that ship,

01:13:00.800 but there's a right way and a wrong way of doing it. Just because I said I would tell you what's

01:13:04.900 being said, there was this open letter by this new EP to Scott Pelley, which reads in part as

01:13:11.640 follows. I started this job excited to collaborate and to benefit from the wisdom and experience of

01:13:17.100 the 60 Minutes veterans with you among them. For that reason, one of the first things I did in my

01:13:20.920 new role was to call you and talk and invite you to dinner. It is a profound disappointment that

01:13:26.220 you rejected that overture and chose ambush instead. Yesterday, you hijacked my first

01:13:31.140 meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with

01:13:35.880 remarkable incivility and contempt. I welcome a diversity of viewpoints and respectful debate

01:13:41.380 among the team, but this was nothing of the sort. Yesterday's performative display of hostility

01:13:46.540 enacted in front of the staff

01:13:48.140 instead of in a civil private conversation

01:13:49.880 demonstrated that you have no interest

01:13:51.360 in contributing to the future success of the show

01:13:53.200 or approaching my new tenure with a mind

01:13:55.180 open to collaboration and progress,

01:13:57.280 blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:13:57.960 I mean, this is so defensive and beneath and executive.

01:14:01.040 You don't, and then he fired him.

01:14:02.520 You don't do that.

01:14:03.780 You say, dear Mr. Pelley,

01:14:06.200 with the participation of senior management at CBS News,

01:14:09.780 this is to inform you that your services

01:14:11.660 are no longer required.

01:14:12.700 You are terminated effective immediately.

01:14:14.720 that Nick Bilton is the boss move.

01:14:18.380 And it was up to your superiors

01:14:20.520 because you're not his boss

01:14:22.000 just because you're the EP of 60.

01:14:23.880 You're not.

01:14:24.720 You've been there two minutes.

01:14:26.420 He's been there almost 40 years.

01:14:27.980 You're not.

01:14:29.860 But his superiors needed to handle him directly

01:14:32.980 and never should have put these two together

01:14:35.680 without somebody being there.

01:14:36.880 And Barry didn't show.

01:14:38.360 And Scott Pelley clearly had not been managed.

01:14:40.740 And now Barry tries to tell the staff

01:14:43.760 at a morning meeting over there

01:14:45.600 that Scott has been let go.

01:14:49.120 She says, I know I speak for myself

01:14:51.040 and I hope I speak for everyone here

01:14:52.380 when I say, I'm only interested

01:14:54.300 in working in a newsroom

01:14:55.360 that's built on trust and mutual respect.

01:14:57.300 We cannot do our work without it.

01:14:59.340 That foundation was broken on Monday

01:15:00.940 and despite our attempts to engage

01:15:02.220 with Scott Pelley and find a way back,

01:15:03.820 unfortunately, we weren't able to do so

01:15:05.740 and we had to part ways.

01:15:07.200 We didn't want it to happen,

01:15:08.360 but that's the path he chose.

01:15:10.340 That unfortunate outcome

01:15:11.300 does not discount

01:15:11.960 from the amazing contributions and work

01:15:13.440 he's done for CBS in 60. Now he comes out. I'm saddened to see the transcript of the CBS News

01:15:19.300 morning editorial meeting. Barry Weiss knows what she said is not true. In the meeting on Tuesday

01:15:23.920 in which I was effectively fired, there was no effort of any kind to find a way back. As she said,

01:15:29.140 at no point did anyone in the Tuesday meeting suggest that there could be steps taken by

01:15:33.340 either side that would lead to a resolution. Weiss and Tom Shebrowski, that's her number two,

01:15:37.640 were openly hostile from the start. Firing was raised by him in the first 15 seconds. No CBS

01:15:42.820 executive at any time suggested a way back to say so now is disingenuous and they know it.

01:15:48.280 In fact, everyone refused to answer my questions. I asked her a number of questions about why she

01:15:52.640 fired the entire senior staff of 60 Minutes a few days before and without cause. I'm not answering

01:15:57.780 that question, she said. I asked why she didn't come to the 60 Minutes offices to explain her

01:16:02.520 actions. I'm not answering that question. Why did she fire the executive producer? I'm not answering

01:16:07.240 that question. Why'd she fire Cecilia Vega? I'm not answering that question. Why fire Sharon 0.98

01:16:10.860 Alfonsi. I'm not answering that question. Throughout the meeting, the CBS executives

01:16:14.220 were abrupt, dismissive, and uninterested in dialogue. Suddenly, and to my surprise,

01:16:18.100 Chabrowski declared, this conversation's over. Why, I asked. I'm happy to answer your questions.

01:16:22.840 This conversation's over, he repeated, raising his voice and standing to show me the door.

01:16:27.360 I'm happy to keep talking, I added. No constructive dialogue was allowed by the

01:16:31.020 CBS executives at any point. I was stonewalled for about 10 minutes, and then for no apparent

01:16:34.760 reason, this conversation's over. I'm pained that the staff of CBS News was misled.

01:16:39.080 on Wednesday morning, these executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is

01:16:44.360 antithetical to everything we stand for and reveals contempt for what journalists do.

01:16:47.600 I don't know how they get out of this now. I really don't. I don't, I don't, I have no love

01:16:52.540 lost for Scott Pelley whatsoever. But the relevant point here is that's not the way the staff inside

01:16:58.720 the building feels. So they're in the midst of a civil war. Good luck. In the U.S., a break-in

01:19:47.140 It's me, Megan Kelly.

01:19:48.220 I've got some exciting news.

01:19:50.440 I now have my very own channel on Sirius XM.

01:19:53.480 It's called the Megan Kelly Channel, and it is where you will hear the truth unfiltered with no agenda and no apologies.

01:20:09.100 It's bold, no BS news.

01:20:11.040 Only on the Megyn Kelly channel, Sirius XM 111, and on the Sirius XM app.

01:20:20.100 Our friends across the pond are in a mighty struggle, Adam, because they've decided free speech is officially a thing of the past.

01:20:29.860 And so is accountability.

01:20:32.960 The murder of Henry Novak has turned into something beyond one crime.

01:20:39.060 This 18-year-old kid on his way home who got stabbed by a man who was Sikh and was carrying a set of knives on him, which is allowed some knives under British law, depending on how long they are.

01:20:51.340 There was a real question about whether the knives he had were legal.

01:20:54.120 And he stabbed Henry.

01:20:56.440 And as Henry lay dying with five stab wounds in him, Vikram Digwa, the man who stabbed him,

01:21:03.200 claimed that he was the victim of Henry's alleged racism, of which there is zero proof,

01:21:09.600 zero evidence in the record that Henry did anything or said anything racist 0.98

01:21:14.520 other than the bullshit claims of his murderer. 0.99

01:21:18.360 And there's videotape. 0.99

01:21:20.020 Henry was videotaping the moments so we would know prior to his murder.

01:21:24.240 The cops show up and instead of getting Henry the help he needed as he lay there bleeding, they told him he hadn't been stabbed.

01:21:31.600 They didn't call an ambulance right away and they handcuffed a dying man and told him he was fine.

01:21:37.940 The tape was released yesterday. It's the day before yesterday.

01:21:42.320 It's an outrage. It's actually hard to watch.

01:21:44.520 And so far, all we've seen is one of the cops involved, under enormous pressure by the community, was allowed to retire.

01:21:53.060 And then late yesterday, we got word that one had, quote, resigned.

01:21:57.580 No one's been fired.

01:21:59.280 No one's been charged.

01:22:01.100 And by the way, if you retire or resign, you likely still get your pension and all your benefits.

01:22:06.260 No one's been fired.

01:22:07.920 And no one has been charged with accessory, with criminally negligent homicide, with anything.

01:22:14.200 We had a legal panel on yesterday that actually saw a number of crimes that they had potentially opened themselves up to. 1.00

01:22:21.000 And now there is true. There's outrage over there.

01:22:24.680 There were protests for most of the day yesterday.

01:22:27.240 I'll just give you a flavor of some of the protests and those speaking out.

01:22:32.320 Here's SOT 22.

01:22:33.020 Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you! 1.00

01:22:40.060 You should pay your respect for Hemrath. Your officers assisted in that man's death.

01:22:45.440 Yes.

01:22:46.020 I'm not going to do it legally. Justice for Henry! Justice for Henry! Justice for Henry! Justice for Henry!

01:22:54.780 wow okay and now okay so now this is actually an update

01:23:23.640 per the constabulary that's overseeing the relevant police force.

01:23:30.700 They confirmed that only one of the officers involved in the case has resigned.

01:23:35.020 Okay, so the other one didn't retire.

01:23:36.500 Only one has resigned, while the other three are still serving.

01:23:40.720 All of them are being treated as witnesses.

01:23:43.060 The force said the officer who resigned did so at the end of 2025

01:23:47.200 and not as a result of this incident.

01:23:50.320 Henry was stabbed in December of 2025.

01:23:53.260 So we really have zero accountability.

01:23:56.180 Now they're saying that the police internal investigation, they plan to report back on it within the next three months.

01:24:06.680 Doesn't take that long.

01:24:08.520 Your eyes and ears are really all you need.

01:24:11.140 And there's been a dispute breaking out between the political leadership where Keir Starmer, who said nothing about this murder, nothing.

01:24:20.140 December, January, February, March, April, May, nothing.

01:24:25.220 It wasn't until we finally got a verdict.

01:24:26.940 He didn't even say, I'm so sorry this has happened.

01:24:29.040 You know, I condemn the violence and the crime, whatever, nothing.

01:24:32.740 Now he comes out finally and says something in Henry's memory.

01:24:36.840 And you've got Nigel Farage, on the other hand, who stars on The Rise over there in the UK.

01:24:41.320 And Starmer goes out and decides to issue a direct attack on Farage,

01:24:45.740 condemning the violence which broke out

01:24:47.700 at this protest in Southampton we just showed you,

01:24:50.820 telling the British public that this is, quote,

01:24:53.500 not the time to rage,

01:24:55.420 which was a direct response to Nigel Farage,

01:24:58.380 who yesterday issued an emergency address to the nation

01:25:00.920 in which he said the only way Britain should respond

01:25:03.500 to this killing is with pure, cold rage.

01:25:07.400 And that's what we're seeing on the streets right now, Adam,

01:25:09.540 because the British people have had enough

01:25:12.780 of assuming the white man who's dying in front of the cop's very eyes must be the perpetrator 0.96

01:25:20.860 and bad guy because he's white. And the brown man standing with knives and claiming he was 0.75

01:25:27.720 the victim of racism might, in fact, be the criminal who caused this whole thing and just

01:25:33.600 took a man's life who you're watching die before your very eyes. All right. Well, lots of thoughts

01:25:38.760 to progressive people, Democrats, if you said, uh, this guy threw a racial slur at that black 0.95

01:25:48.880 man, he dropped an N bomb. So the black man stabbed him. Their, their thought on that was, 0.99

01:25:56.400 well, that guy should have never said anything. I mean, they, they actually think that it's okay

01:26:02.100 to perpetrate violence upon somebody if somebody said something that was racially offensive

01:26:09.640 to that group so they're sort of down with the cause that way which is a weird thing like

01:26:16.640 they'll i'll they'll they'll do it all the time and i'll go you understand no matter what somebody

01:26:22.780 says that doesn't justify stabbing them punching them pushing them onto train tracks whatever it

01:26:28.800 is like they look at that as a legitimate alibi. Like, yeah, I stabbed the guy. He called me 0.70

01:26:34.260 something I didn't like. So and most a lot of white progressives will side with the person of

01:26:41.880 color in that case. Also, this isn't so different than what goes on in sanctuary cities. You know,

01:26:51.280 there's always some poor person, some citizen who gets stabbed or shot or beaten by somebody who 0.91

01:26:59.660 probably who's illegal, who shouldn't be in this country. And then of course the politicians have

01:27:05.580 to side with the person they're protecting because they're in a sanctuary city. So there's a,

01:27:11.160 an interesting relationship. The news outlets are progressive, you know, so they have to defend

01:27:18.220 these people. And then the politicians are the ones who are defending them and bringing them

01:27:22.600 into their cities. So they can't apologize or say anything about it. So if ICE shoots a white person,

01:27:29.340 they have to do nonstop endless coverage on the white man or woman that ICE shot. But if a black 0.82

01:27:36.540 guy stabs a white kid, they go radio silent on it. Now, Europe is like a little foreshadowing of what 0.99

01:27:47.420 we're asking for here in a lot of our major blue cities. You guys are letting in a bunch of people

01:27:53.660 from bad cultures who let their knives do their talking. You've decided to treat them as victims.

01:28:01.540 They catch, whether it's Somalia, Somalis in Minnesota or this guy, they figured out real 0.52

01:28:08.980 fast, play the race card and you'll be protected by these politicians. So we're importing this 0.97

01:28:17.000 into our country as well it doesn't end good because these people come from countries that 1.00

01:28:25.200 are failures because they're flawed because their culture is a mess and then we bring a bunch of 1.00

01:28:32.560 them and we put them in any given city and then they metastasize and they start breaking off 0.98

01:28:39.080 and they take over the cities and then of course the city is ruined just like their country is 0.73

01:28:45.120 ruined. I think this is about this is like we're at a boiling point from how many years now of

01:28:54.860 demonizing white men. Yes. That's what that's what's causing the rage on the streets. That's

01:29:03.320 why Nigel Farage says this is a moment for rage. The white man was innocent. He didn't say anything

01:29:11.260 racist. And to your point, even if he had, it wouldn't justify his murder. It's almost

01:29:16.420 irrelevant. But he didn't. There was a tape from his own phone. Believe me, if they had Henry

01:29:24.620 Novak saying anything racist, we'd know. He didn't. He ran into a bad man whose skin happened

01:29:32.060 to be brown and who was Sikh and who was covered in knives. And he stabbed Henry Novak. I don't 0.54

01:29:38.640 know why. To this moment, I have no idea why he did it, but he did it. He wasn't sorry. He didn't

01:29:44.460 tell the cops when he knew they were confused about whether Henry was in fact dying. He just

01:29:49.740 let him die, which is why he's now going to go to prison. His mother covered up the crime and hid

01:29:55.500 the murder weapon. She's also been found guilty. And the British populace understands that the

01:30:03.800 police and the authorities involved in this case would be reacting very differently if the dead

01:30:11.540 man who was ignored as he suffered to death in handcuffs were black or brown and the man standing

01:30:18.920 over him with a bloody knife were white. They know. And the fact that they've done nothing to 0.83

01:30:25.680 these cops and now we're saying, well, in three months we'll have a ruling. For what? How does it

01:30:30.460 take three months. It could take three days to investigate this. You know exactly who was

01:30:35.520 involved. The police behavior is all on body cam. We've seen it. What do you need to investigate?

01:30:41.620 You know exactly what happened here. So it's an outrage. And the British populace is sick of this

01:30:48.520 shit, Adam. They didn't investigate the Muslim rape gangs. They didn't care that these young 1.00

01:30:54.760 white girls were being brutalized in the most awful, unspeakable ways possible. They didn't

01:31:02.440 care about that. They don't care about this. They've demonized white men for over a decade now.

01:31:08.340 They've had it. They've had it. They proceed this way at their peril. And by the way, not for

01:31:13.340 nothing, but Keir Starmer and all the others in power right now all took a knee after George Floyd,

01:31:19.200 made it into a huge thing immediately. How outrated to wait for a three-month investigation

01:31:23.880 or a trial. Trust me. They got down on the knee immediately and started condemning racism and so

01:31:30.720 on. So like all these protestations of like, there's a process, let it play out our lives.

01:31:35.440 Yes. Well, listen, we just lived through four years of dopey Joe Biden saying white supremacy 0.94

01:31:41.080 was the biggest problem this country faced. And then his FBI director would get up there and say 0.95

01:31:46.540 the same thing. We're living it as well. And, and so there's a symbiotic relationship between

01:31:54.760 the politicians and the press, the politicians lay this stuff out, like, you know, uh, less crime

01:32:03.520 is committed by our immigrant neighbors and everything. And then all the newspapers and

01:32:09.600 outlets and 60 Minutes and all the other woke news agencies then also echo that. And so then

01:32:17.940 if there is a situation like this, they all circle the wagons. And instead of doing their job,

01:32:24.840 they try to protect themselves. So the politicians are trying to protect themselves and the news

01:32:30.920 outlets are trying to protect themselves for spreading the lie initially. And then it's a

01:32:36.700 two-parter you have to sweep under the rug anytime there's a situation where black kills a white and 0.99

01:32:45.020 then if there's a situation where white kills a black no matter what the circumstances are even 0.74

01:32:50.840 if it's self-defense you have to build that up so it's kind of a seesaw you have to depress 0.70

01:32:57.080 one side of the story and then you have to search endlessly for anything that oh there's a you know

01:33:05.460 there's a crazy story about five, six years ago in Oakland, a black man hung hoops on a tree at

01:33:15.460 the park so he could exercise in the park. And the white female mayor of Oakland at the time

01:33:22.900 announced that this was a hate crime. And the black guy said, no, no, it's not a hate crime.

01:33:28.640 I put those hoops up and I hang off of those hoops. And I, that's how I work out at the park.

01:33:34.520 And she said, I'm calling in the DOJ and we're going to investigate this as a hate crime.

01:33:40.960 And the guy said, why do you have to investigate it?

01:33:43.600 I already told you.

01:33:44.640 And she's like, you can't make assumptions.

01:33:48.080 It's a crazy story.

01:33:49.200 Your audience needs to look it up.

01:33:50.580 It's about five years ago.

01:33:52.040 It's when Oakland was right when Oakland was bottoming out because you had an in and out franchise that was moving.

01:33:59.840 CVS franchises were closing.

01:34:02.200 The A's were moving out.

01:34:04.520 all your the raiders move out all this and she wants this special a special unit to investigate

01:34:12.760 a hate crime over workout apparatus at a park so they have to find it wherever they can find it

01:34:20.020 and then they have to sweep it under the rug when it actually does happen and it happens a lot and 0.98

01:34:26.680 know this insanity of like these immigrants commit less crime who started that and who believes it 0.86

01:34:35.700 now yeah yeah the um the messaging now coming out i told you what keir starmer is saying it's just

01:34:44.360 i mean it's it's he doesn't understand how angry people are he doesn't understand why they're so

01:34:50.060 angry he truly is hashtag part of the problem he really he doesn't get it he's like a nancy pelosi

01:34:56.020 type. Right. A kneeler, you know, like self-flagellating. Yes. And it's just not right

01:35:02.240 for the moment. He's not tapping in like Nigel Farage is getting it and he feels and it's authentic

01:35:06.840 that they're beyond being pacified, that they're very angry and they want to see that you feel it

01:35:14.360 too. And Keir Starmer doesn't. He doesn't feel this the way he felt George Floyd. That's why

01:35:18.860 he's not able to sell it. And here's the Home Secretary in the UK, Shabana Mahmoud. By the

01:35:25.860 way, this person spoke out right away after George Floyd. This is what this person said after George

01:35:31.300 Floyd. Many constituents have been in touch with me regarding protests across the USA after the

01:35:36.520 murder of George Floyd. I share their anger at this unspeakable outrage. Hashtag Black Lives

01:35:42.540 matter. See if you can detect a switch in tone in the latest messaging from Mahmoud.

01:35:50.980 His murder at the hands of Vikram Digva was a horrifying act, falsely accusing him of racism.

01:35:59.160 It was an evil act. Let me also be clear about one other thing, a dangerous undercurrent that

01:36:05.100 I have seen in the reaction to this awful crime. Threats against police officers are utterly

01:36:11.040 unacceptable misinformation and inflammatory commentary is making a dreadful situation

01:36:17.360 even worse yeah the language police yes would like to chastise the outraged people about you

01:36:26.400 know stay within the lines okay i don't i don't remember this woman coming out and saying maybe

01:36:31.400 don't burn your city down uh minnesota's citizens in minneapolis maybe like right she doesn't care

01:36:38.380 She doesn't actually care about inflammatory rhetoric at all, only when it's on an issue

01:36:43.320 that's near and dear to her heart, in which case we have to be word policed about our

01:36:47.240 outrage over letting the white guy die from his stab wounds that then she's got to step

01:36:51.580 in and remind us of the decorum responsibilities.

01:36:54.620 By the way, you know, you really could use George Floyd and sort of J6 and maybe COVID

01:37:03.000 origins to figure out how insane people are.

01:37:06.120 Like George Floyd was a junkie who OD'd on fentanyl and was a career criminal and no

01:37:16.400 other culture would embrace this guy. 0.84

01:37:18.900 Now, white people don't embrace him either.

01:37:21.500 They're just pretending to, but black people, this is your hero.

01:37:26.040 That'd be like me going, you know who I love?

01:37:29.140 Joey Buttafuoco.

01:37:30.420 That guy's Italian.

01:37:31.900 I'm Italian. 0.99

01:37:33.020 If you watch what you say about Joey Buttafuoco, like he's a dope, he's a criminal, that's insane. 0.99

01:37:40.960 You should get as much distance as you possibly can from George Floyd, whether you're in the black community or you're in the white community and you're kissing the ass of the black community who's turning George Floyd into a deity. 0.99

01:37:55.180 that's insane and especially that it made it across the pond and that you guys would take 0.99

01:38:01.960 knees for this guy it's totally and utterly insane to worship at the altar of george floyd 0.99

01:38:09.960 and and by the way if you think j6 was a legitimate insurrection you're nuts as well 1.00

01:38:16.940 and lying and if you think covid came from uh a wet market and not a lab then you're nuts and 0.98

01:38:24.460 line too it's three questions we can just if you answer those three questions i can figure out 0.86

01:38:28.800 whether to believe you or not on anything yeah that's so true whether you're a sane honest person

01:38:35.240 right um well is this person sane and honest i give you jill biden yes we're back to jill biden

01:38:43.420 who's still making the rounds on her view on her book she went on the view and said the following

01:38:48.400 and sat 13 and he'd given so much of himself and to see you even saying like i thought he was

01:38:54.600 having a medical episode i was concerned was there any part of you that went into protection mode of

01:38:59.080 like joe you can't keep doing this like this is they're taking so much from you the doctors told

01:39:03.880 me he was fine i'm not a doctor i mean i am a doctor unbelievable great unbelievable she admits

01:39:15.100 it finally we know oh we know um all right so everyone knew remember they were doing those

01:39:24.940 cheap fakes remember they were trying to sell those shots of joe biden drifting off at the

01:39:30.640 juneteenth jamboree on the lawn or wherever he was doing with the thousand yard stare and they

01:39:38.280 were going they're going that's a cheap fake that's a cheap fake and and i was like i didn't

01:39:44.280 understand what that means and they're like well it's edited it's a piece of videotape but it's 0.95

01:39:49.240 it's edited it's not the whole tape and somebody was trying to pass that bullshit off on me here 0.83

01:39:55.340 in my studio and i said you know the videotape of p diddy kicking his girlfriend in the hall 0.56

01:40:03.020 of the hotel by the by the uh elevator and they go yeah i go that's an edited piece of tape it's

01:40:10.820 not the whole the whole the whole tape is 700 hours long that's just the clip where he kicked

01:40:18.160 her by that's a clip of him doing that in a surveillance tape that's on a loop 24 7 are you

01:40:26.140 suggesting we needed to watch the entire year's worth of tape or can we just watch a cut of him 0.99

01:40:31.760 kicking her ass for 45 seconds because that's what we're looking at with joe biden this insanity 0.98

01:40:39.920 I was on Bill Maher's show years, you know, I don't know. 0.99

01:40:44.320 It was like four or five years ago or something like that.

01:40:46.460 And they said, is Joe Biden going to run for a second term?

01:40:51.560 Do you think he's going to run?

01:40:52.580 And I said, run?

01:40:53.580 He can't walk.

01:40:54.940 And everyone looked at me, and I was like, you guys don't see what's going on with this guy?

01:40:59.520 It's super apparent to everybody.

01:41:02.200 And it's now super apparent that you're all lying to cover for him.

01:41:08.220 And the fact that you're trying to wordsmith your way around this is insulting.

01:41:13.960 It really is. 1.00

01:41:14.980 She's a witch, by the way. 1.00

01:41:16.420 She is insulting our intelligence. 1.00

01:41:18.000 She's a bitch. 1.00

01:41:19.060 And here's further evidence of it. 1.00

01:41:20.420 So not only does she push this bullshit on us and expect us to swallow it, but she's 0.99

01:41:25.540 out there once again, by omission, taking shots at her own granddaughter. 1.00

01:41:33.480 Hunter Biden has a daughter by the name of Navy.

01:41:37.560 We've interviewed her mother here on this program.

01:41:41.420 That's hurtful to see a matriarch of a family who is supposed to bring a family together purposely exclude someone, part of that family, part of that bloodline.

01:41:57.200 And that's something that someday my daughter will read and my daughter will see.

01:42:02.700 It breaks my heart to know that it will break hers to read and see the things that she's going to see about being excluded.

01:42:11.600 And she's going to wonder, you know, why?

01:42:13.660 All I can do is, you know, be there for her when she does, when she is old enough to understand these things.

01:42:20.060 I have to tell her, you know, I can't explain, I can't tell you why.

01:42:23.620 I can't explain other people's behavior for you.

01:42:27.140 All I can say is, you know, that I'm sorry.

01:42:30.000 Is it true that when Jill Biden hung the White House stockings for the six grandchildren,

01:42:34.780 not the seven, excluding Navy, that she also had stockings up there for the family pets,

01:42:41.880 for the dogs?

01:42:43.740 I actually did hear that. 0.98

01:42:46.080 And so what does Jill Biden do on The View? 1.00

01:42:48.840 This, Sat 18.

01:42:50.700 And that's why we're doing well.

01:42:52.380 Hunter is. Oh, my gosh. Hunter is doing so great. And he's sober. He has a beautiful child.

01:42:59.240 I mean, who's named Bo? He named his son after Bo and Bo named his son after Hunter. So,

01:43:07.720 yeah, just shows the bond. Yeah. Once again, no mention of her granddaughter,

01:43:17.160 who's been acknowledged Navy Biden, which is so hurtful. I'm sorry. Like, I'm sorry your son

01:43:23.640 had a baby out of wedlock, you know, stepson, whatever. Stop punishing the little girl by

01:43:31.180 erasing her from current history. I mean, she won't acknowledge this child. It's diabolical.

01:43:40.880 Well, look, as we've learned, everything gets put through the prism of politics. Right. I mean, everything is just someone's running all the time. And we got Graham Plattner over there and they're all stumping for the guy with the Nazi tattoo with all the GMs to kids to young people or young women or whatever, whatever is going on.

01:44:05.740 So they will pass everything through the prism of the next election.

01:44:11.000 And that's all she does.

01:44:13.140 Even if she's not running, even if her husband's not running, could somebody find out who the

01:44:17.940 big guy was?

01:44:18.880 Could somebody ask her who the big guy was that Hunter was keeping 10% for?

01:44:23.900 Is that question has never been uttered on any interview?

01:44:28.020 At 10,000 interviews, no one said, who's the big guy?

01:44:30.980 Hunter, everyone else's name is on that list, their full name.

01:44:34.300 And then there's the big guy.

01:44:35.740 Who is the big guy?

01:44:36.940 Tell us who that guy is.

01:44:38.600 They don't care.

01:44:39.860 They won't ask.

01:44:41.220 They will never do the stories that are bad for their side.

01:44:44.560 I would submit to the audience,

01:44:46.640 that's one of the things that makes this show different from most,

01:44:50.260 where we will, we will criticize both sides.

01:44:52.860 When the president does something we don't like, we will say so.

01:44:55.680 We may agree or disagree, but he's not immune from criticism.

01:44:59.000 But if you're a leftist, that's not the rule.

01:45:01.180 That's not how you roll.

01:45:02.440 Adam Carolla, a pleasure.

01:45:04.020 Good luck.

01:45:04.480 Good luck to you as we await to see whether Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton pull this off.
