The Megyn Kelly Show - Tech CEOs on Hot Seat, Biden's Lies, and ＂Sociopath＂ Gavin Newsom, with Newt Gingrich and Adam Carolla ｜ Ep. 715

00:00:00.560 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

00:00:12.600 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Happy February. We made it.

00:00:17.600 January is so long, isn't it? My gosh. This is the year in what my next guest is calling the

00:00:26.700 longest general election campaign in history. We are well on our way, one month down. And it sure

00:00:33.440 does feel that way. As the nation prepares to elect a new president, the polling shows some very good

00:00:39.720 news for former President Trump in key swing states, but some bad news for him when it comes to

00:00:45.920 the latest national poll. We'll get into it. And then there's that wild, oh, did you watch any of

00:00:51.760 this? The big tech hearing on Capitol Hill yesterday? I found this thing fascinating. It's, you know,

00:00:56.540 usually I'll see the highlights and I'll follow the news reporting and my team will watch it and

00:01:00.080 sort of give me the highlights. This morning, that's what I did. I watched the whole hearing.

00:01:03.380 It was three hours. You can find it on YouTube. It was very interesting. And it was one of the only

00:01:07.520 times I've seen in recent history where you heard exactly the same messaging from the Dems and the

00:01:12.360 Republicans. It was these tech executives on their heels as several tried to lie about the damage that

00:01:20.360 their products are causing, in particular to young people and young girls in this country. In most

00:01:26.140 notably, met as Mark Zuckerberg. It was a crazy exchange with Senator Josh Hawley, who shamed him

00:01:33.380 into standing up and apologizing to the families who had come to Capitol Hill holding up pictures of

00:01:39.680 their dead or damaged children. And he actually did it, stood up and turned around to them and offered

00:01:48.860 an apology. There's a lot to go over. We're going to talk about it first with former Speaker of the

00:01:54.640 House, Newt Gingrich, author of March to the Majority. Mr. Speaker, welcome back to the show.

00:02:01.720 Great to have you. Well, it's always fun to be with you. And you're right. There are a lot of

00:02:05.720 things going on. Right. OK, so let's just start there, because I really was very interested in

00:02:10.220 this. What happened on Capitol Hill? I know you know better than anybody. It's not that common these

00:02:15.160 days to see Republicans and Democrats united on anything. But they were united in their anger

00:02:21.660 against the social media companies, in particular how they've just done almost nothing to protect

00:02:27.720 young people from the hazards of their products. And there are things that can be done. No, 1.00

00:02:31.840 they can't eliminate all harm. But there are things that can be done. And it's culminated in

00:02:37.520 this exchange between Senator Josh Hawley and Mark Zuckerberg, who continued to deny. Zuckerberg

00:02:42.780 continued to deny that his products cause any harm. I'll just set it up before I play the

00:02:47.920 soundbite. This is what he said. Mental health is a complex issue. And the existing body of

00:02:53.840 scientific work has not shown a causal link between using social media and young people having more

00:03:01.960 mental health outcomes. That's just not true. That that is not true. Meta's own internal studies,

00:03:08.340 we know, have proven time and time again. Wall Street Journal analysis of the Meta study showed

00:03:14.580 Meta's own researchers, quote, repeatedly found that Instagram in particular, which is owned by

00:03:19.780 Meta, they own Facebook and Instagram, quote, is harmful for a sizable percentage of young users,

00:03:26.100 most notably teenage girls, but did nothing about it. People inside Meta have been jumping up and down

00:03:30.940 trying to tell Zuckerberg, we do need to do something about this. And he's opted not to because

00:03:36.400 money, because he can make more money if he doesn't. So all of this leads to this exchange

00:03:41.680 with Hawley, where Zuckerberg, for the listening audience, does stand up. You can't hear the

00:03:45.960 beginning of the apology because he's off mic, but you'll get the flavor. Watch.

00:03:50.820 Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. There's families of victims here today. Have you apologized

00:03:54.600 to the victims? Would you like to do so now? Well, they're here. You're on national television.

00:04:01.340 Would you like now to apologize to the victims who have been harmed by your product? Show them the

00:04:05.780 pictures. Would you like to apologize for what you've done to these good people?

00:04:10.240 I suffered, and this is why we invested so much, and are going to continue doing these

00:04:16.320 streaming efforts to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things that

00:04:22.260 your families have to suffer. Will you take personal responsibility?

00:04:25.920 Senator, I think I've already answered this. I mean, this is-

00:04:29.100 Well, try this again. Will you take personal responsibility?

00:04:31.360 Senator, I view my job and the job of our company as building the best tools that we

00:04:37.380 can to keep our community safe.

00:04:39.380 Well, you're failing at that. You're a billionaire. Will you commit to compensating the victims?

00:04:43.360 Will you set up a compensation fund with your money?

00:04:45.440 Senator, I think these are-

00:04:46.400 With your money.

00:04:47.440 Senator, these are complicated-

00:04:48.420 Yes, no, that's not a complicated question.

00:04:50.700 Senator, I don't think that that's-

00:04:52.880 My job is to make sure we build good tools.

00:04:54.980 My job is to make sure that-

00:04:56.840 Your job is to be responsible for what your company has done.

00:05:01.360 What did you make of it, Mr. Speaker?

00:05:03.740 Well, I was really reminded of the early days of the tobacco hearings, when the evidence

00:05:10.140 was overwhelming that tobacco caused heart disease, caused cancer, and you would have

00:05:16.740 these same kind of executives defending the profit margin of their companies and getting

00:05:22.260 up and saying things that were just patently false. The evidence is overwhelming that particularly

00:05:28.360 for young girls, that the social media that people like Zuckerberg are so proud of is extraordinarily

00:05:35.740 dangerous, has increased the level of depression, has increased the level of suicide, and that

00:05:42.340 these companies have done nothing to reduce that kind of risk.

00:05:46.720 And I don't know whether it's out of profit motive, because he's already extraordinarily rich, or whether

00:05:52.760 it's just out of arrogance. But it's clear that Congress will have a hard time finding a positive

00:05:59.900 way to intervene as opposed to holding hearings. But I do think the pressure is going to build

00:06:04.940 to find mechanisms that protect young people and that recognize that these instruments can be good,

00:06:14.280 but they can also be very dangerous.

00:06:17.420 That's the problem. And I mean, I'll tell you something. I don't allow my kids on social media,

00:06:22.140 period. Doug and I have made a really clear, hard decision that they're just not going to do it,

00:06:26.960 not while they're in our house, not at 12, not at 14. No. And it's so frustrating to me because I

00:06:33.880 look around at so many other parents that I know who talk about how their kids are dealing with severe

00:06:40.400 anxiety, girls in particular, stress, depression. And yet they continue to allow them on social media

00:06:49.260 and to spend hours a day scrolling it. It's like they're just not paying attention. The news is

00:06:55.620 ubiquitous about the link between these apps and depression in particular amongst girls. So it needs

00:07:04.080 to be a joint effort by the tech companies and the parents. We can't forget their role in it.

00:07:09.340 Look, these Internet institutions are at least as dangerous as drinking. And we've been pretty clear

00:07:16.460 as a country about trying to establish a baseline for when we think you're mature enough. I think we

00:07:22.220 need the same conversation. I think that there are aspects of things like Instagram that we clearly

00:07:31.020 have to appreciate should not be there for people who are 13, 14, 15 years of age. And I think that 1.00

00:07:38.120 ideally that'll be done voluntarily. But if it's not at some point, you're going to have to have

00:07:43.740 Congress impose rules of the road, just as we've imposed rules of the road for tobacco and for

00:07:50.420 alcohol. So what would the thing that the legislators were pushing yesterday was to get rid of 230,

00:07:57.620 which section 230, which provides immunity to these social media companies saying, you're really just

00:08:04.180 platforms. You can't be held liable for damage that happens as a result of posts on your platforms.

00:08:10.020 And, you know, I've heard a lot of even conservatives say, that's not the answer. You know,

00:08:14.080 more lawsuits. That's not the answer. And how can you really hold a platform liable for, let's say,

00:08:20.360 a defamatory comment somebody makes in the comments section of a post on the Federalist or the Daily Wire,

00:08:28.160 for example. This to me seems like something different. Why, why can't these parents who sat

00:08:33.840 in that audience holding up pictures of their dead children who died just to give the audience a

00:08:38.280 flavor for, because they ordered, there was a testimony. One, one kid didn't feel well and ordered

00:08:43.640 a pill off the internet, just a stupid thing to do, but he did it. It was late lace with fentanyl. 0.98

00:08:48.540 He died. Many of the parents had children who were lured into this, they call it sextortion,

00:08:56.780 where a foreign bad actor poses as a sexy young girl, for example, and says, hey,

00:09:02.800 here's a naked picture of me. Now you send me one of you. And he does it. And then they reveal

00:09:08.920 themselves as bad guys who now have a picture of this boy naked, and they're going to post it

00:09:14.840 everywhere unless he gives them money. And in a shocking amount of instances, these boys wind up

00:09:19.960 killing themselves rather than face the embarrassment of this. I listened to a woman testify at an event 1.00

00:09:26.320 I went to two summers ago, um, where she talked about how her child, her son was on, she went upstairs.

00:09:32.720 It's terrible. And found him hanging. He had hanged himself because he was being bullied by kids on

00:09:40.660 Snapchat who had found a way into a backdoor that you can easily use with third-party software into

00:09:46.100 Snapchat. You're no one other than your friends are supposed to be able to access you, but they had,

00:09:50.860 and they bullied this kid literally to death. These are just a couple of the problems with the social

00:09:56.480 media. And some of that really can be stopped like the backdoor on Snapchat and a greater crackdown

00:10:01.620 on these sextortion schemes, which are prevalent, not to mention the sale of pills. So they're not

00:10:08.480 doing any of it. I don't know if it's two 30 is going to take care of it, but the immunity that

00:10:12.720 these companies have is troubling. You know, it seems like an antiquated provision for modern day

00:10:19.200 problems. Well, it is. Look, when, when I was in the Congress, uh, two decades, two decades ago,

00:10:27.200 we did things specifically to encourage the growth of the internet because at the time it was a brand new

00:10:34.600 technology. We thought it was important for America to take the lead. And so we took steps.

00:10:39.600 Well, now these are gigantic worldwide companies. Their owners are enormously rich.

00:10:46.000 They have to be held to a different standard. And we've learned some things. I think all of us have

00:10:51.160 been surprised how susceptible young people are, uh, to psychologically being beaten up and harassed

00:10:59.560 on social media to a degree that they become depressed. And as you point out in a number of

00:11:05.080 cases, they commit suicide. There ought to be some accountability, uh, some ability to hold the company

00:11:12.920 liable at a minimum, some ability for parents to intervene and have easy access to somebody in the

00:11:18.760 company to cut their child off or to track down and hold liable the people who have been doing this.

00:11:25.160 I mean, if the people who are doing the bullying suddenly were held liable and you were able to

00:11:30.440 sue them for the bullying, you would stop a great deal of negative behavior on the internet.

00:11:38.040 One of the things that the social media companies were saying was, you know, we're,

00:11:41.560 Oh, we'll make it, um, a blocking app more available to the parents or blocking mechanism.

00:11:48.200 And I have to give credit to Amy Klobuchar, uh, Democrat, former presidential com, uh, candidate who

00:11:54.200 got out there and said, be realistic. These parents, they can't navigate these apps better

00:12:01.800 than the children. And there are so many, if you're going to let your kid do social media,

00:12:06.680 whether it's Snapchat, Tik TOK, Facebook, Insta, all these things, you've got a different mechanism

00:12:12.200 for each one. Parents are busy. They care about their children, but they have to work. They have to

00:12:17.400 take them to school. They have to maintain their own lives to try to figure out, you know, the five

00:12:22.280 different apps and what the parental mechanisms are. There needs to be some uniform protection.

00:12:27.160 Like I hate to put it all on like our government saviors to regulate these companies into doing the

00:12:33.160 right thing. But like, just to kick it all back to the parents and say, you guys figure it out

00:12:39.240 yourselves app by app is not realistic and it's not working. So what are your thoughts as a Republican

00:12:45.240 on, you know, big government actively getting involved here to say, sorry, social media companies,

00:12:50.520 you are going to have to do something to make it easier. Well, you know, normally I am for less

00:12:55.800 government and more freedom and more of a free market, but I'm always reminded of President

00:13:02.040 Theodore Roosevelt reading Upton Sinclair's novel, The Jungle, which was about the stockyards in

00:13:08.920 Chicago. And there was a scene in the jungle where a man working in the stockyard fell into a vat

00:13:17.160 and ended up being turned into sausage. Well, Roosevelt was apparently reading that scene

00:13:23.720 as he ate his eggs and sausage that morning. And by that afternoon, he had sent up the food and drug

00:13:30.680 administration bill because he realized that there are modern nationwide manufacturing systems,

00:13:38.840 you have to establish certain standards. You know, I want to know if I go to a McDonald's or a Wendy's

00:13:44.600 that the food is safe. I want to know that if I go anywhere and take a drink that the water is safe.

00:13:50.520 Now, is that government? Yes. But it's a public health issue. Well, now we have mental health issues

00:13:57.480 that are fully as important. I mean, if you're going to lose your child, whether it's to a drunk driver,

00:14:04.040 or to smoking too much and getting cancer, or to being psychologically destroyed on the internet,

00:14:10.440 in each case, you've lost your child. And I do think it's legitimate for the government

00:14:15.000 to intervene literally as a public health issue and try to better understand, both with drugs and with

00:14:22.440 just plain mental illness, what we're doing to ourselves and what we have to do to stop it.

00:14:29.560 Hmm. I'll tell you something interesting. Um, I watched that clip. I actually watched it with

00:14:34.280 my children, all three of my children and Mark Zuckerberg standing up and apologizing.

00:14:38.440 And, um, I, I said to them, what did you, what did you think of it? And I have to admit,

00:14:43.720 I am a sucker for an apology. I, I am. Um, and all three of my kids who are 10, 12 and 14 were a hard

00:14:50.840 no on the apology. All three of them said he just did that because that one guy made him do it.

00:14:57.160 It wasn't sincere. He wouldn't have done it. And I, I was thinking just as a person who's in the,

00:15:02.920 in the news biz, um, I Mark Zuckerberg's PR people must've been mortified that he did it.

00:15:09.240 They must've thought it's the one thing we forgot to go over, right? Because a better way of handling

00:15:14.280 it would have been God forbid. And from now on, everybody's going to begin beginning going to be

00:15:18.920 given the Zuckerberg role. Like if they ask you to do that, you say, I'm not going to make this into a

00:15:25.640 dramatic moment. This moment is about you getting answers for me and I'm happy to provide them,

00:15:29.960 but I'd be glad to meet with any families who want to meet with me at the appropriate time

00:15:34.040 and hear their stories and see what we can do to help them. That's the right answer.

00:15:37.960 He kind of embarrassed himself by doing it. I don't know. What did you think? It was

00:15:41.720 pretty extraordinary to see Mark Zuckerberg do it. No, I thought he was in a position where,

00:15:47.320 uh, the Senator was clearly going to keep me, was going to humiliate him. I mean,

00:15:51.480 he would have kept going after him unless he did it. Uh, and it would make him look very in like,

00:15:56.680 like he was, he lacked heart. He had no sense of sincerity, but I also think that it was baloney.

00:16:03.000 I don't think Zuckerberg meant it. Uh, I think he went out, got back in his private plane,

00:16:07.880 flew back to his extraordinary state in California and continued to get money, uh, out of teenagers,

00:16:15.160 uh, without any particular sense of shame or of, of fixing things. Again, I think that it would have

00:16:22.280 been good to come back and say, all right, if you meant that, in what ways are you going to change

00:16:26.280 your company? In what ways are you going to do something different? I think that would have been

00:16:30.680 a very good followup from Holly, uh, after the, after the, uh, apology.

00:16:36.760 One of the problems with all these social manual, and we've been beat, we're beating up on Zuckerberg,

00:16:40.600 but it's, it's across all these platforms is the weird sexual provocations that are fed to young

00:16:48.520 children and open the door to pedophiles who are all over the internet trying to get access to your

00:16:55.800 kids. I was glad to see they had the one, um, the one CEO there, forgive me. I can't remember his name,

00:17:00.440 but he's from one of the platforms, um, discord, uh, which is a gaming platform. I have a very good

00:17:05.640 friend whose young son was on one of these games and got approached by a pervert, like a

00:17:10.520 young kid who he didn't, he just started like talking dirty to him in the chat. And my friend

00:17:16.920 didn't even know that there was a chat, you know, it was like, again, back to the parents,

00:17:20.680 not totally understanding every nature of these games. Um, but Ted Cruz tried to zero in on this

00:17:26.360 problem. This, these media platforms being exploited by pedophiles and the like nonsensical approach

00:17:33.720 by, I mean, Zuckerberg's a parent though. He's a parent who's admitted he doesn't let his kids sit

00:17:38.840 there online doing social media. It makes them play outside, but listen to this exchange with Ted Cruz.

00:17:44.280 Instagram also displayed the following warning screen to individuals who were searching for

00:17:50.680 child abuse material. These results may contain images of child sexual abuse. And then you gave users

00:17:57.880 two choices, get resources or see results anyway. Mr. Zuckerberg, what the hell were you thinking?

00:18:12.760 All right, Senator. Um, the, the, the basic science behind that is that when people are searching for

00:18:20.040 something that is problematic, it's often helpful to rather than just blocking it to help direct them

00:18:26.520 towards something that, um, that could be helpful for getting them to get help.

00:18:30.360 In what I understand, get resources in what sane universe, is there a link for see results anyway?

00:18:37.800 Well, because we might be wrong. How many times was this warning screen displayed?

00:18:42.440 I don't know, but the, but the, you don't know. Why don't you know?

00:18:46.440 I don't know the answer to that off the top of my head, but you know what, Mr. Zuckerberg,

00:18:49.880 it's interesting. You say you don't know it off the top of your head because I asked it

00:18:53.320 it in June of 2023 in an oversight letter and your company refused to answer. Will you commit right

00:19:01.080 now to within five days answering this question for this committee? We'll follow up on that.

00:19:06.440 Is that a yes? Not a we'll follow up. I know how lawyers write statements saying we're not going to

00:19:11.240 answer. Will you tell us how many times this warning screen was displayed? Yes or no?

00:19:16.440 Senator, I'll personally look into it. I'm not sure if we have.

00:19:18.840 OK, so you're refusing to answer that. Newt, it's cathartic to see that kind of thing, isn't it?

00:19:26.440 So often we watch these congressional hearings and it's just so frustrating. Nothing gets done.

00:19:30.200 They don't get their points across. It's cathartic to watch something like that.

00:19:34.680 First of all, I mean, child pornography is illegal. We routinely arrest child

00:19:40.680 pornographers. And I think that this is a similar thing. I think that grooming and pedophilia are

00:19:50.360 illegal acts. And one of the things that should be happening is the government at different levels

00:19:56.200 should be routinely scanning. And there you have an individual who is accountable,

00:20:02.200 the person who is putting this stuff on the Internet. And that person should be at risk of

00:20:06.600 going to jail. But there's no question. When my wife Callista was the ambassador of the Vatican,

00:20:13.800 one of her three major concerns was this kind of preying upon women and the exploitation of women and 1.00

00:20:20.600 children. And it is a worldwide problem. I mean, something has happened. And we now have

00:20:28.200 organized efforts on a huge scale to exploit women and children and to make huge amounts of money out

00:20:36.360 of doing it. And I think that we have to be much more aggressive and tough minded so that people don't

00:20:43.320 even get on the Internet trying to do this stuff because you do leave a trail. And we should be able

00:20:49.000 to track these people down and we should be able to hold them accountable and prosecute them.

00:20:52.920 Hmm. Instead, we're letting them click on a little box to see explicit images, apparently, of young

00:20:59.240 children, which is illegal on every level. And he says we might be wrong. I mean, what's coming up?

00:21:03.880 What about the times you're right? How often are you right? What do you do then? Like that's

00:21:07.720 I'd love to know the answers to all those questions. By the way, while people like the like the guy just

00:21:14.280 mentioned, the CEO of the gaming company, Discord, got up there and said, oh, we're so happy to be here to

00:21:21.160 talk about this issue. Only a couple of them showed up voluntarily. Most of them had to be subpoenaed.

00:21:26.240 They didn't they didn't want to go. They got dragged in there kicking and screaming. So good on the Senate

00:21:31.120 for doing it. And I hope something comes of it. All right. Let's talk about what's happening with

00:21:35.880 Mayorkas and illegal immigration right now. It looks like the House is going to, for the first time, I guess,

00:21:41.340 in 150 years, impeach a cabinet official. And there's a big debate even within Republican circles on whether

00:21:47.240 this is the right move, because as upset as Republicans and everyone, well, not everyone,

00:21:52.320 but Republicans are about the border. Mayorkas is not really the problem. His boss is the problem.

00:21:59.240 And if we get rid of him, there's a real question about whether anything will change. So let's just

00:22:03.340 start with you. Do you think it's a good idea for them to proceed with an impeachment vote,

00:22:07.340 which we think they're going to do? Look, I doubt very much if he's going to be convicted by the

00:22:14.100 Senate. So in a way, it's a project at growing people's attention to how bad the border is. But I

00:22:22.600 think also, you're exactly right. The real problem here is what happens with Biden, Biden's policies.

00:22:32.540 I mean, a group of senior FBI, retired senior FBI people, just issued a letter to Congress saying that we

00:22:39.520 have an enormous national security threat on our southern border. And that national security threat is

00:22:46.380 entirely Biden's illegal immigration policy. These are Biden's illegal immigrants. The fact is Trump had done a

00:22:53.420 good job of closing down the border and dramatically lowering the number of people coming into the U.S.

00:22:59.380 Biden has gone in exactly the opposite direction. And the result is today, we have thousands and

00:23:06.620 thousands of people. We don't know who they are. We don't know what their relationships are. And

00:23:11.920 these FBI officials said, you know, the number of young males who are now in the U.S., who could be from

00:23:19.940 Venezuela or from Iran or from a variety of other places and could, in fact, potentially be a fifth

00:23:27.280 column, attacking the United States from within. Now, this is all very real. And the truth is,

00:23:32.980 the Biden policies leave us defenseless and vulnerable in ways that I would have thought

00:23:39.360 were unimaginable. OK, but now things are getting interesting politically, because this is a very

00:23:47.340 clear winner for Republicans prior to, you know, this month. The Democrats clearly want an open border.

00:23:55.060 Otherwise, why would we have one? And the Republicans under Trump did a very good job

00:23:59.680 of not shutting it entirely, but coming as close as we have in years. And now it's already getting

00:24:06.760 spun because they've proposed this deal. Republican hardliners said, you're not getting any Ukraine aid

00:24:11.340 unless we get some concessions on the border. And Biden kind of said, OK, I'll give you the

00:24:15.240 concessions on the border, at least some of them. And now give me my Ukraine aid. And the Republicans

00:24:19.840 now are supposedly this bill is DOA that three senators have been working on because the House

00:24:26.580 is saying hard no, reportedly because Trump is saying hard no. And that, according to Mitch

00:24:32.640 McConnell, Trump doesn't want it because it's going to hurt him in the election. He doesn't want to give

00:24:37.980 the win to Joe Biden. And Trump himself is saying, I'm very against it, not for that reason, but because

00:24:45.220 he thinks it's a bad deal. He says no deal is worse than this deal. Now, the other argument is

00:24:51.260 we don't know whether Trump's going to win the election. Joe Biden could win the election.

00:24:56.400 And half a loaf might be better than no loaf if that's our future. So how do you see it?

00:25:03.160 Well, first of all, my experience in Congress was when a bill is written in secret, it's because they

00:25:09.940 know if they release it, it's going to fall apart. So when you have three or four months of secret

00:25:15.460 negotiations, and recently one of the authors has been going around complaining that people keep

00:25:21.080 making stuff up. Well, they make stuff up because it's secret. And I think they're now going to

00:25:26.740 release it. We'll see the real language. But if the language is as bad as people have suggested,

00:25:32.120 I would absolutely totally oppose this bill. I think our goal should be no illegal immigration, 0.97

00:25:38.640 a completely secure border, and whatever changes in the law that requires, we should take. Now,

00:25:44.920 in terms of Biden's abilities, there's an entire list. I'm writing a newsletter at Gingrich 360 about

00:25:51.640 this. There's an entire list of authorities that he has right now. And he inadvertently admitted that

00:25:57.960 the other day when he said, boy, if they pass this, you know, I'll close the border that day. Well,

00:26:03.000 if he has the power to close the border that day, why isn't he closing the border? And the reason is

00:26:08.180 because the left wants an open border. They want the largest possible number of illegal immigrants.

00:26:14.400 I hope that they're going to wait the census for the next Congress and move and save places like 0.99

00:26:20.800 California and New York from losing congressional seats. And the whole thing is crazy. I mean,

00:26:26.600 I have to be honest, the left has now gone both on climate, where they want to impose electric cars

00:26:34.980 on everybody, even though only 6% of the country wants one. They've gone crazy on the border. And

00:26:42.320 their position on Iran is frankly, equally crazy. And you look at all this, and you just wonder,

00:26:47.700 what has happened? I mean, my other example would be what's happened with drugs. When you have more

00:26:55.520 Americans killed by drug overdose annually, that were killed in eight years of the Vietnam War,

00:27:02.180 literally, more people die from drug overdose every year now, than were killed in eight years in

00:27:07.120 Vietnam. We have a real crisis. And you have, frankly, a Democratic Party that seems incapable

00:27:15.280 of breaking out of its ideology and dealing with reality.

00:27:20.660 Joe Biden now wants us to believe he's a border hawk. He's a border hawk, even though we've had

00:27:25.560 2.7 illegals encountered at the border, meaning stop and interacting with Border Patrol. That doesn't

00:27:32.100 count the gotaways. A record number this past year alone, not to mention, if you go back the year

00:27:36.480 before that, well, over a million and so on, the year before that, too, all under his presidency.

00:27:41.540 Now he wants us to believe he's a border hawk. And he sees a political opportunity here now that

00:27:45.520 the Republicans are saying, this is not a good deal. We're not going to sign this. And we're not

00:27:49.260 signing on to this. It's not what we want. It allows, reportedly, at least 5,000 illegals to cross 0.96

00:27:55.580 over the border a day. We're already having 8,000 right now at a time everyone agrees this is a

00:28:01.220 crisis. So we're going to lower it by three? That's our great border deal that we're striking?

00:28:06.480 And that allows him to say, there, I fixed it. So here he is. My team put together a little

00:28:11.680 then and now SOT montage of him. Sound on tape. That's what SOT stands for. Showing how he sounds

00:28:18.200 today versus how he has sounded from the beginning of his presidency. We could go back further than

00:28:22.620 that. But watch. We're a nation that says if you want to flee and you're fleeing oppression,

00:28:27.600 you should come. If that bill were the law today, I'd shut down the border right now.

00:28:32.000 You come to the United States and you make your case. It'll also give me as president,

00:28:37.400 the emergency authorities shut down the border until it could get back under control.

00:28:41.540 And those who come seeking asylum, we should immediately have the capacity to absorb 1.00

00:28:46.920 them, keep them safe until they can be heard. No one, no one would be put in jail while waiting

00:28:55.580 for their hearing. Amazing. We can absorb them all. How did that work out?

00:29:02.200 Well, you know, Gallup warned us that in their worldwide poll, 165 million people said they

00:29:09.820 would like to come to the United States, 165 million. Now, you know, I mean, in Biden's case,

00:29:17.040 first of all, if he's a hawk, he's a chicken hawk. He's not a real hawk. And second, I thought the most

00:29:23.280 telling number recently was a Rasmussen poll that said that by 69 to 27, the American people side with

00:29:33.100 Texas against the federal government. And among strong support, it was 52 to 15. Now, if that if

00:29:41.240 69% of the American people think Texas is right to intervene and control the border, despite Biden's

00:29:47.800 policies, that tells you that the country's beginning to really become militant about the need to get our

00:29:55.160 border under control. And I don't see how Biden's going to deal with this. He has a huge split with

00:30:00.440 his left over the border. He has a growing split with his left over the Middle East.

00:30:06.460 Meanwhile, the average American is looking at high prices. They're looking at crime in the streets.

00:30:11.600 I mean, Washington, D.C. is a nightmare. We've had nine last year, we had nine hundred and fifty

00:30:17.320 carjackings. We had seven thousand cars stolen. This is international capital. And across the country,

00:30:26.120 Portland has just declared an emergency because it is such a disaster.

00:30:30.440 So I think that there's a there's both a performance problem for Biden in that the

00:30:36.500 country thinks it's not working and there's a values problem in that the country mostly repudiates

00:30:42.160 the kind of hard left values that he has come to advocate, which, by the way,

00:30:46.580 is a long way from where he was back when he was U.S. senator.

00:30:51.500 Right. Oh, my God. He's changed dramatically. Just looking at what this is doing,

00:30:56.540 you know, these eight thousand across the border every day, what it's doing to U.S. cities and why 0.99

00:31:01.420 Biden has finally been willing to come to the table on it. Yes, he cares deeply about Ukraine

00:31:06.300 because he thinks we'll be ceding Ukraine to Russia. And that's a major campaign issue for him,

00:31:11.320 too, if we don't fund an additional 60 billion as he's requested. So he's in much more of a

00:31:17.180 compromise mood. But it's really about his reelection hopes that, as you point out, you

00:31:21.900 know, 69 percent of the countries on Texas side, the immigration is becoming a top issue for Democrats

00:31:28.200 now, or is it it never was. And now it is for them, too, because they're feeling it in unique

00:31:33.720 ways in their own cities. And that brings me to Massachusetts. All right. So Massachusetts,

00:31:38.960 the state's emergency shelter system hit capacity in November. Right now, we have dozens of migrants

00:31:45.320 sleeping on the floor at Boston's Logan's Logan Airport. And that and then there's a huge recreational

00:31:51.600 complex, a state run facility that they're right now turning into a shelter for immigrants. Now,

00:32:00.080 this is in a majority black area per the Daily Mail. And so kids at risk youth who are usually

00:32:08.220 encouraged to go to the rec center to play basketball, to have fun, to stay off the streets,

00:32:12.540 like get in there with your friends. They do this in a lot of cities and it's smart and it works are

00:32:16.840 now being told, get back out on the street. Out you go. We need this for the illegals. And you've got 1.00

00:32:23.140 the governor who's part of the problem out there like, I'm really sad. I'm really sad about all of

00:32:29.760 this. And but yet, what are you going to do? What are you going to change? Are you still going to be

00:32:34.500 sanctuary place for illegals? Take a listen to her. 1.00

00:32:38.060 I get emotional, guys, OK? Because I'm committed to this. Little kids need to be able to breathe

00:32:46.540 clean air. They need to be able to access swimming pools. They need to have lifeguards there who are

00:32:51.980 going to teach them how to swim. And they need to have activities. I don't know what we're going to

00:32:56.440 do for a couple, three months. I'll call universities. I'll call other places.

00:33:00.660 Great. She's going to make some phone calls so the children can get their rec center back. 1.00

00:33:07.220 Look, the problem with the modern left is it lives in a fantasy world. Somehow, magically,

00:33:14.640 things are going to happen. And when you get down to reality, it doesn't work that way.

00:33:19.980 You had the same thing in New York where they had to close down a school, send 1,200 children home

00:33:24.940 so they could bring in illegal immigrants because there was a big snowstorm and they needed the space.

00:33:29.800 I mean, what's happened under the Biden immigration policy is that Biden's illegal immigrants are

00:33:35.840 treated better than American citizens. They're given, you know, some of them are put up in hotels

00:33:40.060 at very considerable cost. And we're all supposed to feel sympathetic. Well, I think most Americans

00:33:46.780 feel sympathetic first for their own neighborhood, their own children, their own grandchildren.

00:33:51.440 And they look around in horror. You just had a group of illegal immigrants beat up a New York cop 1.00

00:33:56.320 and they were released without bond because New York has a no bail program. So these guys are back

00:34:02.960 out on the street. And you wonder why we have this huge crime rate. We've had a horrendous problem.

00:34:09.100 I mentioned Washington. We had a guy the other day who killed two people while carjacking and was

00:34:14.460 finally killed himself by the police. Now, normal, everyday people can look at this and say,

00:34:20.880 it ain't working. But if you're on the hard left, you think, oh, that's it's really racist to say

00:34:26.960 that illegal immigrants shouldn't be allowed to rape you or kill you. This is a sign that you're 1.00

00:34:31.520 really a racist. No, it's a sign you're a normal person who doesn't think you want to be killed or 0.88

00:34:36.640 raped. Why they are so out of touch with reality, I don't know. But it's clear that the modern left is

00:34:43.920 now off in La La Land and has virtually no contact with with the planet Earth anymore.

00:34:50.560 On the on the Massachusetts front, Massachusetts is eight cities within the state of Massachusetts,

00:34:56.760 which is not huge, are sanctuary cities, including Boston. Those are the phone calls she should make.

00:35:02.340 You want to help them make phone calls to those eight mayors and see if you can get reversals on the

00:35:08.040 lure. That is the sanctuary cities to these illegals. You mentioned the D.C. carjacking 0.86

00:35:14.120 situation. Here's the D.C. top attorney, Brian Schwab, talking about this. Listen.

00:35:19.960 We as a city and a community need to be much more focused on prevention and surrounding young people

00:35:26.980 and their families with resources. If we want to be safer in the long run, we cannot prosecute and

00:35:32.620 arrest our way out of it. It's unbelievable. And you were there,

00:35:37.400 Newt. You live this. I had Bill Barr on the program a couple of months ago at the beginning

00:35:42.200 of the year. And he, of course, he worked for H.W. many moons ago. Never mind, you know, Trump.

00:35:48.840 And he wrote a whole book talking about how strict enforcement of the law, criminal prosecutions

00:35:55.580 and putting people in jail works. That's exactly how you stop crime. Well, I mean, we know that's

00:36:02.160 true from what Giuliani and Chief Bratton did in New York, where they reduced the murder rate

00:36:07.120 literally almost overnight. But in addition, I would point out, when I was Speaker, we took over

00:36:13.880 the city. Washington is the national capital. Every American should be able to visit their

00:36:20.920 national capital in safety. And if the local corrupt Democratic government can't do it, then I think we

00:36:27.440 have an obligation for the Congress to take the city over again, establish law and order, establish

00:36:34.320 rational rules, eliminate the regulations that are killing business. Look, they're so bad right now,

00:36:40.820 they have driven two of their major sports teams out of the city. They are going to bankrupt downtown

00:36:46.660 Washington because those sports teams were the major draw to bring people down into Washington

00:36:52.440 to shop and do other things. And they're on the edge of a genuine crisis economically,

00:36:58.580 a real crisis in crime. And I think it's unconscionable that the Congress doesn't.

00:37:05.020 This is a federal city. It's the national capital. And frankly, it should be run in a rational,

00:37:10.680 intelligent way.

00:37:12.340 All right. I want to get your thoughts on how they're handling Iran and the death of these three 1.00

00:37:17.580 American service personnel this week, as well as politics, because those interesting split polls

00:37:22.220 per Trump and Biden, they tell us something. And I don't know what you'll tell us when we come

00:37:26.500 right back after this quick break. Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, stays with us.

00:37:34.900 A couple of polls out that I'd love to ask you about. First, there's the new Bloomberg

00:37:39.100 slash Morning Consult poll. This is polling a Trump versus Biden matchup in the key swing states.

00:37:46.380 It's a poll to be noted of not likely, which is the best measure, but of registered voters.

00:37:52.320 Getting all registered voters out to vote is a very different story, as you know. I mean,

00:37:57.660 a lot of these states, you just register when you get your driver's license. It does not mean you're

00:38:01.020 actually going to go do it. So I always like to point that out. The polling of people at Fox were

00:38:04.820 always super rabid about likely, likely, likely. Okay. In any event, he's crushing it. Trump's crushing

00:38:12.840 Biden on these polls. North Carolina, up 10. Nevada, up eight. Georgia, up eight. Wisconsin,

00:38:19.460 up five. Michigan, five. Pennsylvania, up three. Arizona, up three. My God. Okay. But then

00:38:28.900 there's the Quinnipiac poll, which is a national poll. I don't know if the national polls are that

00:38:35.180 relevant. You know, it's like we don't have a national election. You know, we have an electoral

00:38:39.180 college. You have to win the swing states in order to win whatever. But for what it's worth,

00:38:42.880 the national poll, again, registered voters, shows Biden up over Trump by six points, Biden 50, Trump

00:38:50.600 44. Not for nothing, but it shows Haley beating Biden by five points. But the reason they're

00:39:00.800 showing Trump's struggling in this national poll is his deficit to Biden when it comes to women

00:39:05.700 in particular and independence to a lesser extent. Biden has a 22 point margin over Trump in this poll

00:39:12.280 with women, 58 to 36. And Trump's got an 11 point margin over Biden with men, but obviously at 22 is

00:39:21.700 double 11. And when it comes to independence, Biden's beating Trump by 12 points, 52 to 40. So how are we

00:39:29.920 to make sense of those two pieces of data? Well, I don't think we know yet. We need three or four

00:39:35.780 more polls. Quinnipiac is an outlier right now. We've seen no other poll like that with Biden ahead. So I can't

00:39:44.020 say for sure what it means. The Bloomberg polls are about where we've seen things in general, but a little

00:39:52.780 stronger for Trump. So I don't know if something happened in between. It's very unlikely that you saw that

00:39:59.140 biggest shift between the polls, but I'd like to see three or four more polls. Normally, I think

00:40:06.200 Quinnipiac is not as reliable as a lot of other polls, but you still have to take it at least

00:40:12.460 semi-seriously. But I don't know of anything which has happened, which was strengthened by, I mean,

00:40:19.340 he's getting weaker because of the way he's mishandling Iran. He's getting weaker because of the border.

00:40:24.620 So I don't know of any big comeback that is strengthening him at any level at the present

00:40:31.720 time. I just did two events with the Republicans in Michigan, with the Republican House and

00:40:40.640 Republican Senate. And in both of those cases, they felt pretty confident they're going to carry

00:40:44.860 Michigan. And if they carry Michigan, Trump will almost certainly be president.

00:40:50.360 I mean, that really will be extraordinary. When he started to win in the upper Midwest in

00:40:54.260 16, it was the moment where you knew, whoa, something's happening here. But here's how

00:40:59.040 this is going to be spun with the left and independents still read the New York Times and

00:41:04.440 listen to the New York Times podcast and so on. Just take a listen to how they describe the

00:41:08.360 immigration issue. And if they don't strike this deal on immigration, we're going to get a whole 0.81

00:41:13.580 lot more of this over the next 10 months. This was today's New York Times podcast, The Daily,

00:41:17.820 in part. He doesn't want to give Biden a win on this. It's an extremely compelling political campaign

00:41:28.000 issue for him with his base. So in a very real sense, Trump is trying to torpedo this, we suspect,

00:41:33.700 because he wants to make sure that a huge issue so animating and central to his campaign and his base

00:41:40.120 remains an issue that's animating to his campaign and to his base. This is really the story of a

00:41:48.080 Democratic president being willing to meet his Republican congressional peers much more than

00:41:54.340 halfway on a very sensitive issue. And the response from those congressional Republican peers

00:42:00.600 is to reject the offer. Much more than halfway. He's bending over backwards here, sir.

00:42:10.660 Hey, look, this is the New York Times. I mean, I spent my whole career reading the New York Times and

00:42:16.840 the Washington Post and then moving 35 points to the right to understand reality. I mean, the New York

00:42:25.040 Times is so totally anti-Trump that it's kind of pathetic. But there are two things that are 0.98

00:42:31.320 problems for them. The first is the American people are really fed up with politics. You know, when 96 of

00:42:38.500 the top 100 TV shows last year were NFL games, it tells you that people are looking for an escape

00:42:45.580 rather than focusing on this mess that they are frustrated by, but they can't control.

00:42:52.160 The second problem the Democrats have is you can say anything you want to politically and then you

00:42:57.640 look at the local news, not national news, local news. You see muggings, you see carjackings,

00:43:05.160 you see murders, you see rapes, you see policemen being assaulted. And you think these are all Joe

00:43:11.760 Biden's illegal immigrants. You don't think this is Donald Trump's or this is the Republicans.

00:43:16.900 Uh, this has been Biden's policy. He has owned it for three years. He can't get out from under it.

00:43:23.380 Uh, and frankly, if he really wants aid to Ukraine and Israel, you ought to bite the bullet except HR2,

00:43:29.940 which is the bill that the House Republicans passed back at the beginning of the year, uh,

00:43:34.500 and actually control the border. I mean, if he actually suddenly controlled the border,

00:43:38.660 and if illegal immigration dropped to under a thousand a day, let's say, um, he would be in

00:43:44.860 dramatically better shape. He can just do it. Just do it. Just do the same executive policies

00:43:51.060 that Trump did. Just do it. You don't need the congressional approval. Just do it. You can

00:43:55.060 actually get the border in a lot better shape. He doesn't want to, they should call his bluff on that.

00:43:58.920 Go ahead. Do it. Do title 42. Do, do all the Trump stuff. We, we support you.

00:44:04.440 I'm going to do a podcast at, at newts world on, on this whole issue with people who are experts on

00:44:09.400 the border. And the truth is they have an entire list of things that Trump did, all of them legal,

00:44:15.800 all of them Biden could do tomorrow morning. And he sort of hinted at this the other day when he said,

00:44:21.080 boy, if they'd pass that bill, I'd close the border today. Well, if he can control the border today,

00:44:26.280 why isn't he? And people know why he isn't because his left wants the largest possible

00:44:31.960 number of illegal immigrants. Even if that includes terrorists, criminals, people left out of insane 0.97

00:44:38.360 asylums. I mean, these countries aren't pedophiles. Yeah. Okay. So to summarize, you are against

00:44:43.960 cutting a deal, this deal, as at least as it's been reported thus far, you're with Trump. This is not

00:44:49.240 a good deal. I am for a good bill and I'm against a phony bill. And the current bill strikes me as pretty

00:44:54.640 phony. And then last but not least, can you give me your take on how we're handling the Iran crisis

00:45:00.560 with three U.S. soldiers dead and Biden saying, and another 34 wounded and Biden saying,

00:45:08.320 I've decided what I'm going to do. I've decided. Everything he does, he telegraphs and then we

00:45:15.360 wait to see what it is. Now it's been several days. We've done nothing. What do you think?

00:45:19.400 I think his weakness on the border is matched by his weakness with Iran.

00:45:25.320 Everything he has done, he allowed them to start selling oil again. That gave them billions of

00:45:30.960 dollars. He paid them $6 billion to get five hostages. He was part of the Obama deal, which

00:45:36.940 actually flew in an entire plane load of cash. I mean, think about that. An entire plane filled with

00:45:42.840 billion dollars in cash, none of which, by the way, was U.S. dollars because the Iranians would not 1.00

00:45:48.160 accept American money. I mean, they've had this love affair. They have this fantasy that there's

00:45:54.080 a moderate Iran. There isn't a moderate Iran. When the Iranian parliament chants, death to America,

00:46:00.940 the Ayatollah Khomeini went on national television and said, this is not a slogan. This is our policy.

00:46:07.780 Now, they have attacked us over 150 times. I have a newsletter coming out tomorrow outlining that

00:46:13.860 either we're going to intimidate Iran or Iran is going to intimidate us. We know if Donald J. Trump

00:46:21.580 were in the White House, we'd be the intimidators. And we know with Biden in the White House that he

00:46:26.760 is being intimidated. It is pathetic. We've had 150 attacks on Americans since October 18th. You would 1.00

00:46:34.160 think the Pentagon had sitting on the table an entire strategy of attacking that they could hand the

00:46:40.500 president, and he could have announced it three hours after the attack that killed three Americans.

00:46:45.080 Instead, they're dithering around. They're desperately trying to avoid getting into a fight

00:46:49.120 with Iran for reasons I cannot fathom, because the Iranians are going to keep pushing us and pushing us, 1.00

00:46:55.060 and they're going to keep trying to kill Americans. They're going to keep trying to close down the Red 0.96

00:46:58.940 Sea. And we look like we're pathetically incompetent. Between the border and Iran, this is the most 0.98

00:47:07.240 pathetic administration, I think, in American history. It looks like we're afraid of them. 0.99

00:47:15.060 That's how it looks. No question. No, we don't need to be afraid of them. It would not go well for

00:47:22.380 Iran. We take care of them in about a day. But nobody wants a war with Iran. It's just you'd like 0.83

00:47:27.040 to see some strength and some leadership, and you'd like to see some fear of the United States military

00:47:31.700 under the commander in chief right now. It's not there. Speaker Gingrich, it's always a pleasure.

00:47:36.300 Thank you so much for being here. Great to be with you. All right. And don't forget, folks,

00:47:50.240 We appreciate that. Governor Gavin Newsom of California told MSNBC over the weekend there is

00:47:59.920 no chance that he will run for president. That was just before he told us how far he would go

00:48:06.480 for President Biden, who he assures us is very, very vibrant and up to the task. Plus,

00:48:12.880 a leaked video reveals Gavin Newsom was shocked, shocked, I tell you, when he watched his policies

00:48:18.360 play out in everyday life. Joining us down to discuss it all, one of our favorites,

00:48:24.200 and he's a California resident. Adam Carolla, host of The Adam Carolla Show. Adam, welcome back.

00:48:30.200 Great to have you. Thanks for having me, Megan. All right. So your favorite governor has been

00:48:35.400 making the rounds and had this to say on MSNBC. Take a listen. You are an excellent emissary in terms

00:48:43.080 of passion, engagement, articulation, all of the things that, you know, make for a good campaigner,

00:48:48.500 though we know you're not running for president yourself. No chance. No chance.

00:48:52.040 Yeah. Who in their mind would want to run when you have someone of such esteem as our incumbent

00:48:59.940 president of the United States with a record of accomplishments and a man of character,

00:49:04.640 a man of decency. I'm old school. Talk about loyalty. I'll go to ends of the earth for this

00:49:09.660 guy. I really would. I'm not I'm not making that up. I'm glad he said that at the end because I was

00:49:14.660 wondering whether he was joking. Yeah. Well, it is kind of funny because

00:49:20.800 if when you exaggerate, that's when it becomes clear that you're lying, you know? So somebody

00:49:31.340 said to you, like, if you had a short, fat daughter and somebody said, how's Helga doing?

00:49:41.900 Did she find a date for the prom? And you went, no, she hasn't. Helga hasn't found a date for the

00:49:47.540 prom. But it's it's it's it's it's puzzling because she's exquisite looking and she's so

00:49:53.220 beautiful and she's better looking than the best looking supermodel. And her personality is so 1.00

00:49:59.560 vibrant. That's when it starts seeing seems like you're lying, you know? And the thing about Biden,

00:50:05.840 Biden is such an unmitigated train wreck that when people try to prop him up, it seems surreal.

00:50:16.280 And it also seems like they're lying. Like if somebody said, you know, what do you think of

00:50:22.040 Joe Biden? And I was like, well, you know, he's he's doing his job, I guess. You know, I mean,

00:50:27.820 really, how good is any president? You know, at least he's not Trump or something like that.

00:50:31.920 Then you'd believe it. If I if I went this guy sharp as a tack and leading us in the direction

00:50:37.860 of light and truth. And you'd go, oh, get the hell out of here. And so that's what that's

00:50:45.580 what Newsom sounds like. But keep in mind, Newsom is a narcissistic sociopath douchebag. 1.00

00:50:54.380 I mean, he really is. He really has a personality disorder. I don't know how else to explain who he 1.00

00:51:04.840 is. And it's not Newsom that we should be thinking about. It's the people that vote for Newsom. Like

00:51:13.960 that's the thought experiment. He is an empty bag. He is a sociopath. He has no thoughts in his head

00:51:23.920 other than soundbites or what will get him either elected or reelected. The question is in this sort

00:51:30.600 of sociological experiment is who votes for this idiot? And the answer is a lot of people 1.00

00:51:38.400 because of how he looks and how he comes across, which is very interesting. Like what would how would

00:51:47.380 it work if Gavin Newsom was five foot nothing and had a double chin and a receding hairline?

00:51:54.060 What if he were a Helga? 1.00

00:51:56.440 What if his first name was Helga? Like I got yelled at when I did Sean Hannity show several

00:52:04.600 months ago where somebody asked me about AOC and I said, listen, if she was 60 and from Minnesota and

00:52:12.980 fat, no one would listen to a word she said. And everyone was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's like,

00:52:19.840 whoa, what? You think we've listened to a word that's in that head? She doesn't have a thought in

00:52:26.620 her head. Why would we listen to her? It's totally true. It's a hundred percent true. And I think

00:52:32.460 if Gavin Newsom was 60, short, fat, and from Minnesota, nobody would listen to a goddamn word 1.00

00:52:41.220 that idiot had to say. I think I need to hear the sound bite again. It's such there's such 1.00

00:52:45.720 acting going on in here. He's from California. Let's watch it again. All right. You are an

00:52:51.380 excellent emissary in terms of passion, engagement, articulation, and all of the things that, you know,

00:52:57.220 make for a good campaign or though we know you're not running for president yourself.

00:53:00.320 No chance. No chance. Yeah. Who in their mind would want to run when you have someone of such

00:53:08.080 esteem as our incumbent president of the United States with a record of accomplishments and a man

00:53:13.660 of character, a man of decency. I'm old school. Talk about loyalty. I'll go to ends of the earth

00:53:19.480 for this guy. I really would. I'm not, I'm not making that up. It's, it's wonderful. I mean,

00:53:26.800 the craziest thing about Biden's character is back when he knew he was alive about 30 years ago,

00:53:38.100 he was giving his bona fides about his education. And he was like, I was at the top half of my law

00:53:45.660 school class. I was a Fulbright scholarship awardee. I was the only person in my school that had a triple 1.00

00:53:52.940 major. He, he lied about all of it. I mean, back when the news, back when the news had an ounce of

00:54:01.620 integrity, like, you know, the craziest thought experiment is you go back and you watch the ABC

00:54:07.500 nightly news from 1991. And they're like, Mr. Biden did not have any of these degrees. Mr. Biden was

00:54:14.900 lying. And you're like, Oh, who's saying this? It's like, Oh, Oh, the news. Yeah. It used to be the

00:54:21.560 news. They used to just report on stuff when Democrats lied and plagiarized. So how can you

00:54:28.620 be a man of character? Like I said to Dr. Drew, I was like, is there any situation where you could

00:54:35.700 forget what your major was or how many degrees you had or how many scholarships you had? That's a weird

00:54:45.200 characteristic lie. I mean, that's an insane thing to make up all your degrees and all your majors or

00:54:52.340 you know how you merged with Martin Luther King, or you were in a South African prison because you

00:54:58.200 went to meet with Nelson Mandela. I mean, what is sociopathic liar Biden is, but you got Newsom 0.98

00:55:06.540 who's also a sociopath. So they're, they're kind of perfect for each other. He explained why he did 0.99

00:55:13.120 some of that in particular, his academic record. He said he exaggerates when he gets angry.

00:55:19.860 That's what he said. I exaggerate when I get angry. That's a thing, right? And you get really pissed off

00:55:25.460 and you just are like, I was top of my class. That's what you start yelling, right? You start making up

00:55:31.160 your fake resume when you feel angry. Whenever I argue with a woman and it gets really heated, 1.00

00:55:36.180 I'll go, it's like the time I won the Heisman trophy. And then I go, oh, wait a minute. Oh,

00:55:44.600 it's like the time I won the Congressional Medal of Honor. Okay, woman? Yeah. I remember the time I

00:55:51.460 hoisted the Stanley Cup above my head. Yeah, yeah. That's not what it is. That's, you're being too hard

00:55:57.900 on him. Obviously we've all been there. Um, okay. I want to get down to my second clip of Gavin Newsom

00:56:03.220 because he was apparently doing some round table with press and local California officials about

00:56:10.000 something else and was making small talk before the zoom call got started about a very jarring

00:56:15.760 experience he had in a target out there in California. Uh, take a listen to how that sounded.

00:56:22.740 Sat 21. Uh, you dropped this and he comes back, picks it up and keeps walking out as we're checking

00:56:30.680 out. The woman says, oh, he's just walking out. He didn't pay for that. I said, well, why are you

00:56:34.900 stopping? She goes, oh, the governor sort of got true story. And my mom's great. The governor lowered

00:56:41.620 the threshold. There's no, there's no, there's no accountability. There's no, I said, that's just not

00:56:45.740 true. And she, I, she got, I said, we have the 10th toughest, $950, the 10th toughest in America.

00:56:51.060 She didn't even know what I was talking about. By the way, it's the 10th toughest in America.

00:56:54.560 Look it up. No one gives a damn about that. And I said, it's just not true. There's still

00:56:59.180 a stop. He said, well, we don't stop them because of the governor. And then she goes, she looks

00:57:04.340 at me twice and then she freaks out. She calls everyone over, wants to take photos. I'm like,

00:57:09.380 no, I'm not taking a photo. We're having a conversation. Where's your manager? How are you

00:57:13.740 blaming the governor? And it was, you know, $380 later. And I was like, why am I spending $380?

00:57:19.340 Everyone can walk the hell right out. Yeah. So annoying, isn't it?

00:57:25.760 I know. I, you know, Gavin Newsom, I remember about two years ago, he, when all the train

00:57:33.500 robberies were going on, um, they were robbing all the trains in downtown LA because they had

00:57:41.060 FedEx boxes on them. And then they would just throw the boxes everywhere. And it was just garbage.

00:57:46.340 As far as the eye could see boxes packaging, it was a real hellscape. And then he showed 0.98

00:57:53.600 up and he did a presser and he was like, what the hell's going on around here? Like, that's

00:58:00.580 his thing. His thing is like, oh man, he has a, he has a very interesting technique, which

00:58:07.800 is he will say like, you'll go homeless. What's going on with the homeless? And I'll go, yeah,

00:58:13.840 what's going on with the homeless. What's happening? Like all your horrible failed policy

00:58:20.500 is what's happening. That's what shares in your pain and also has no idea how, how this

00:58:26.980 happened. Who did this to us?

00:58:28.400 Yes. Your, your Democrat majority, um, city and state is what happened. Gavin Newsom. That's

00:58:39.180 where the graffiti is. That's where the trash is. That's where the homelessness is. That's

00:58:43.660 where all the crime is. That's where the smash and grabs are. That's the person walking out

00:58:47.580 in front of you without paying a target. That's where it comes from. Why are you looking around?

00:58:52.960 Go find a mirror and figure out what the problem is. We looked it up and, uh, Jerry Brown was governor

00:59:00.680 of California in 2014. That's when prop 47 was signed into law. It lowered drug and property crime

00:59:08.280 penalties. And Gavin Newsom, who tried recently to, to push for measures that might tackle some of the

00:59:15.420 out-of-control recent theft, uh, out-of-control retail theft, refused to make changes to prop 47

00:59:21.700 refused. And prop 47, uh, makes it a felony for property thefts, totaling 950 or higher. So in other

00:59:27.840 words, you can steal with impunity if it's under $950. That's basically the law. And so he looks

00:59:35.020 around like, gee, I don't, how did it happen under another Democrat? You were just given the chance

00:59:39.660 to increase the penalties so that there could be a real skin in the game for these thieves.

00:59:43.180 You refuse to do so. And not for nothing, but, um, the, the numbers are, uh, since 2019 shoplifting

00:59:52.100 in San Mateo and San Francisco counties have increased 53% and 43% respectively. The highest

00:59:57.320 out of California's 15 largest counties and California at large ranked second worst in the

01:00:05.100 nation for total value of stolen goods per capita. It's ranked third worst regarding lost tax revenue,

01:00:13.020 due to retail theft. So there you have it. Those are the actual numbers.

01:00:17.700 Well, I do have some good news, Megan, which is $950. Sounds like a lot of merchandise, but soon

01:00:25.420 a McDonald's hamburger will be $950 in California. So be that much stolen.

01:00:33.320 How much are they going for right now?

01:00:34.860 They're about 875 now, you know, with the, with the minimum hike. Yeah. I mean, listen,

01:00:43.620 you know, here's, I mean, an interesting philosophical thought for, for you and, and your audience,

01:00:52.580 which is you can sit around and Newsom will do it all the time. Newsom will go like, you know,

01:00:58.740 California's economy has grown 7.8% under my administration. Crime is violent crime is down

01:01:05.780 13% homelessness. We just got 850 people off the street on Wednesday. Like he'll do all that.

01:01:13.980 He'll, he'll, he'll take those numbers. He'll do the same thing Biden does. You know,

01:01:17.760 we created 75 million new jobs under my, you know, here's the deal. In-N-Out Burger is leaving

01:01:25.200 Oakland, California. Why? Why is In-N-Out Burger leaving? In-N-Out Burger has never closed a

01:01:31.460 franchise in their storied 75 year history. In-N-Out Burger is California. Every In-N-Out Burger

01:01:39.580 that opens thrives. You can pass an In-N-Out Burger two in the morning on a Wednesday. And

01:01:45.660 there's a line of 85 cars trying to get an In-N-Out Burger. That's how robust In-N-Out Burger is.

01:01:52.920 So you do this thing where they go like crime is down and jobs are up. Okay. How come the In-N-Out

01:01:59.180 Burger left Oakland, California? Why? Why? Why is there retail theft going on? Why is there graffiti

01:02:07.120 everywhere? Why is there garbage everywhere? Why is the schools failing? Why are there homeless people

01:02:12.820 everywhere? You talk about how great everything is, but why? How come when I look around, how come when I

01:02:17.940 go to other cities? I don't see garbage everywhere and graffiti everywhere and homelessness everywhere.

01:02:23.240 How? And it's the same thing. It's like, listen, you don't need stats in a spreadsheet. You need to

01:02:29.720 know why In-N-Out Burger left Oakland, California. And the answer is they defunded the police. The police

01:02:37.180 fell back. Too much crime in that neighborhood. That's Gavin Newsom's backyard. Why?

01:02:44.320 And soft on crime prosecutors, right? In these big cities. They're just now catching up with some of

01:02:49.720 that nonsense. Like they got rid of Chesa Boudin and San Fran. All right. Well, you'll be happy to

01:02:54.360 know, or maybe not, that it's not just California that's lost its ever-loving mind. All the way across

01:03:00.740 the country, closer to me in Connecticut, in New Hampshire, they are choosing to celebrate people's

01:03:07.620 sexual fetishes on main street. So New Hampshire of all places, which is not, it's not California. 0.67

01:03:14.800 You know, I don't, I don't get it. It live free or die. I get that piece of it, but this is a little

01:03:18.880 much even for them. They have just opened, um, in Atkinson, New Hampshire, the diaper spa,

01:03:26.080 the diaper spa, um, catering to, this is from Fox news.com catering to diaper wearing adults who

01:03:35.280 want to role play as young children. Uh, they call it a safe and judgment-free zone for visitors to

01:03:42.040 pamper themselves with snacks, playtime, storytime, nap time, cuddle time, changing time, coloring,

01:03:47.040 nursery rhymes, and sing-alongs. In the summer, Adam, you can play with your water wings and floaties

01:03:53.380 poolside, picnic under the tree with your teddy bear, play marbles on the patio, or swing on the

01:03:59.280 front porch swing and serve tea to your dollies on the porch. This is all men in diapers. I continue 1.00

01:04:04.640 in the winter. We can make snow angels, build snowmen, drink hot cocoa from beneath clouds of

01:04:11.700 whipped cream and sprinkles, and decorate gingerbread men or sugar cookies. I'm almost done. We focus on

01:04:19.080 the entire sensory experience in our nursery smells like baby powder and warm cookies. We have,

01:04:25.680 we have soft blankies and stuffies, a sound machine that makes womb noises or plays lullabies,

01:04:35.020 a wet wipe warmer, a bottle warmer, and an oil warmer. Oh God. We have tons of snacks to keep

01:04:43.220 tummies happy too. Now they've had to assure residents that they will not be encouraging those

01:04:50.900 who frequent the diaper spa to walk at the nearby park on any excursions where the young children play 0.73

01:04:58.700 because it's going to be a bunch of old dudes with fetishes in diapers with filled up tummies 0.62

01:05:05.480 and gingerbread cookies. I don't even know what to do about this. I don't, I don't know what to say.

01:05:12.760 It, it's a, it's a eerie harbinger of our times that a place like this could even exist

01:05:21.240 as a business. The in and out burger is gone, but the huggy boogie diaper center is opened and

01:05:28.500 taken to the place. Um, you know, I had a, I had a joke years ago where I said, you know, the best way

01:05:36.440 to round up all the deadbeat dads would be, I say back when, um, back when the Oakland Raiders were in

01:05:44.880 LA, I said, somebody should put a sign in front of the Coliseum that said free cockfights for Raiders 1.00

01:05:51.560 fans only. And then everyone who showed up would be arrested. And I feel the same way about this place.

01:05:58.540 Anybody who walks through that door should just be arrested immediately. You know, they're, they're

01:06:05.660 on some watch list somewhere. They're, they're not supposed to be within 5,000 feet of a school

01:06:12.120 or a park. There's something going on with these people. And it's interesting. I mean, it's, it's kind

01:06:19.940 of an interesting sub category of men because I used to do love line for all these years. And

01:06:28.140 once in a while we talked to one of these dominatrix women or what, what have you the 1.00

01:06:33.960 fetish. And I would always go, who's your clientele? And they'd always go rich white guys,

01:06:38.420 like the boss. It was always the boss that wanted to be knocked down because the guy working on the

01:06:43.920 factory floor, he gets his ass kicked for a living, you know, and when his money for that, 0.99

01:06:49.940 yeah, his idea of a good night out is a steak and a martini and a prostitute, not putting pampers on 0.99

01:06:57.900 and toddling around the romper room, you know, so with this water wings, it was this water wings on

01:07:05.840 and listen, I, you know, I feel like the 53 year old guys in their diapers should be able to go across 0.87

01:07:12.860 the street to the park and play on the seesaw. Like, I mean, if you're going all in, you got to go all

01:07:19.660 in. I wonder if businesses like, remember, they had those businesses a few years ago where you

01:07:25.760 just went in and broke things. Like you just take dishes and smash them on the ground and still have

01:07:31.560 that. That's the, that exists in New York city. Are they flourishing though? Like, do they work?

01:07:38.400 Does, does the business model work? I would, you know, I, well, here's, here's my thing though. I,

01:07:43.120 the, the owner of the spa would like you to know, Mr. Carolla, that pedophilia is not tied to diaper

01:07:48.760 wearing in adults. That's a, that's a smear. It's not a thing. These are just sexual fetishes.

01:07:54.260 Doesn't make them pedophiles. She also would like to give you a tour of the diaper spa. And in case 0.99

01:07:58.640 you want to see it, but you don't want to go in there personally, I got you covered. Here she is 0.97

01:08:02.900 in SOT24. This is my changing area. So it has diapers and baby powder and wet wipes and

01:08:10.980 I guess everything you would expect. It helps them process whatever trauma it was. A lot of times

01:08:15.520 it's childhood trauma when they were still in diapers or just getting out of diapers and they

01:08:20.180 want to feel that safety that they had before that. Playtime, story time, nap time, cuddle time.

01:08:26.200 You understand why people read this when they think for an adult in a diaper, they, I guess they,

01:08:31.900 you talk about the judgment. They find it strange. They do. And I'm, you know, I don't ask them to

01:08:37.040 understand, you know, it'd be nice that they did, but you are not going to all understand other

01:08:40.640 people's needs and lifestyles. What do you hope comes from this? That people learn to be more

01:08:47.120 accepting of people that, um, you know, are different. So I miss the days when people had their

01:08:55.540 sexual fetishes and kept them to themselves. Like what you do in the bedroom, as long as you're not 0.96

01:08:59.960 hurt anybody, it's really none of my business, but I, I really don't want to have to walk by the

01:09:04.660 diaper spa in the middle of, of this town, uh, Atkinson, New Hampshire on my way to the park with

01:09:11.940 the young children. And I do question why this woman felt the need to create the, how are there 0.96

01:09:16.780 so many diaper wearing men that we need like a business? How many cities will the diaper spa spread 0.96

01:09:23.420 too? Yeah. I don't know. In terms of buying a franchise, I feel like I'd go in on a Chipotle

01:09:30.920 before the diaper spa. Just, I think my money manager, if I said like, Hey Rob, I want, I got

01:09:38.900 some extra cash laying around. I want to go in on a franchise Chipotle diaper spa. I mean, he'd probably

01:09:45.180 have to sleep on it. We'd probably end up, maybe we'd combine them by the Chipotle, put the diaper on.

01:09:51.400 Oh God, it's going to be a stinky diaper spa. Um, I'm, I'm 100% with you in that. I, I think

01:10:03.680 all this stuff is intertwined. Like when you fly on a Southwest flight and the guy in front of you

01:10:13.240 is wearing flip-flops and board shorts and a t-shirt with two pigs having sex that says making 0.99

01:10:21.860 bacon on it. And you're like, that's what you chose to wear on this commercial flight. You know 0.99

01:10:29.820 what I'm saying? Like a general degrading of society sort of, but it's kind of all encompassing,

01:10:37.100 like people with really aggressive piercings and you're looking at them and they're like,

01:10:41.040 what are you looking at? It's like, I'm looking at your aggressive piercings that you're asking me

01:10:45.820 to look at, or, you know, the tattoos. I mean, you go to the airport in 2024, you go to LAX in the

01:10:56.260 morning and people essentially are wearing pajamas at this point. They're wearing half the women under, 0.97

01:11:04.920 I'd say half the women at LAX under the age of 40 are wearing slippers in what? Yeah. There is, 0.99

01:11:16.360 I mean, it's kind of a style thing or something there. Half the guys are wearing the glides,

01:11:20.500 you know, flip-flops. Everyone under 40 is essentially wearing pajamas and slippers. It's, 0.59

01:11:26.300 it's a, it's a thing. Look, I'm thankful for clothing. Like I, you know, you look out on any

01:11:32.100 magazine or newspaper today and all the glam shots of this celebrity or that they're almost naked and

01:11:37.880 I'm not a prude. I, I love a saucy outfit and I love a woman's body is gorgeous, but like, 1.00

01:11:43.660 I don't need to see it all. You know, the, I was ripping on Lauren Sanchez recently because she had 0.97

01:11:48.820 basically just a lace sheer thing over. I could see it all like, like a thong under it. It's like,

01:11:53.260 it's too much. And by the way, it's not sexy. It's not sexy. Cause I can see it all,

01:11:59.100 you know, like the part of sexiness is the mystery of like, what do I get to see if I

01:12:03.780 managed to be the one to take you home? This is more like, Hey, everyone see it. You can see it.

01:12:08.680 Look at it now. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's all part and parcel of the sort of narcissistic society

01:12:15.200 we've become, but the wearing your fetishes on your sleeve or even, you know, gay pride, 0.76

01:12:23.840 LGBT, you know, proud, the process. It's like, you don't have to be proud. I'm not proud to be a

01:12:28.620 heterosexual. I don't talk about it. I don't advertise it. Do whatever you want. Be gay, 1.00

01:12:35.160 be trans, be, be what, whatever, whatever you are, go ahead and be it. And you know what? 0.90

01:12:42.720 I'll be whoever I am, but I won't need to tell you all about who I am and what I do sexually.

01:12:50.460 That'll just be my business. And you know what? Your business can be your business. We don't need to

01:12:56.440 hang the gay flag in front of the, in front of the Capitol, the white house. We don't need to 1.00

01:13:02.060 have a parade. We don't need to, you don't, we, we don't need to respect you because of your sexual 0.76

01:13:09.140 proclivities. And we don't need to disrespect you because of it. Actually we don't need to know.

01:13:14.940 And we don't need to know about your heritage. We don't need to know what Island your parents are

01:13:19.140 from. We don't need any of that shit. It's, it's the United States. Shut up, go to work. 1.00

01:13:26.040 Yes. Amen. All right. Now, speaking of the, the trans thing, and it's, it is in your face, 1.00

01:13:31.320 because everybody wants you to know if they're trans or they've hired a trans person or this is

01:13:34.820 whatever. So I have to tell you about something that happened to us recently. Um, my daughter got

01:13:42.600 asked to go to a Broadway show with a bunch of her friends. She's 12 and the name of the show is

01:13:48.880 and like ampersand Juliet and Juliet. And I had never heard of this. And it was a very nice offer

01:13:55.860 of the other family to take this group of girls to Broadway. So we're like, sure, that's great.

01:13:59.540 So I looked it up cause I'm not a dope just to make sure like, well, you know, I want to know what

01:14:04.660 she was going to. All right. Here is the description that I saw. If you just Google and Juliet,

01:14:09.980 that'll take you to the pet, the website. It's, it's the and Juliet website. It's not like some

01:14:14.100 rando. And, uh, it says created by the Emmy winning writer from Schitt's Creek. Okay. That's

01:14:19.300 a successful show. This hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told.

01:14:24.860 And Juliet asks, what would happen next? If Juliet didn't end it all over Romeo get whisked away on a

01:14:30.880 fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life

01:14:36.000 and love her way. Juliet's new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic

01:14:42.520 as her name, including since you've been gone roar baby one more time larger than life. That's the way

01:14:47.100 it is. And can't stop the feeling all from the genius songwriter producer behind more number one hits

01:14:51.440 than any other artists this century break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy

01:14:55.960 that proves there's life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing it. That sounds cute,

01:15:01.220 right? Sounds like a little girl powery that I don't, that's good. Fine. I don't care. 0.99

01:15:05.520 Um, thought she'd enjoy it. So she comes home. She had a great time with her friends. She loves this

01:15:09.940 gal. And I was like, well, what about the show? How was that? And she's like, well, it was a little

01:15:13.640 weird. Like what was weird about it? She's like, well, there was a lot of trans stuff in it and like 1.00

01:15:18.140 trans love and trans kissing and trans. I was like, what is like, it's been a while since I've

01:15:26.960 read Romeo and Juliet, but I, I don't think there's, that's not in there. And, uh, even for

01:15:32.220 Romeo were to die, I don't think Juliet would go trans. I don't not. Right. So I wasn't. So I'm 1.00

01:15:37.540 like, maybe she was exaggerating. I don't know, but you never know because Broadway's. So I did a

01:15:43.100 little Googling when she got home and found this little promo that had been done. Clearly I should

01:15:47.420 have gone beyond the show page when I was researching the show before she went and found this

01:15:52.700 little video by an actor named Justin David Sullivan, who stars as the character May,

01:16:00.240 who now I understand is Juliet's best friend in the musical. Watch this.

01:16:06.940 It's a man with flowers in his hair and makeup and a girl's outfit. I'm Justin David Sullivan. I use

01:16:21.020 the pronouns he, she, and they, and I play Juliet's best friend, May.

01:16:29.480 And Juliet is a contemporary musical that re-imagines the classic story of Romeo and Juliet,

01:16:35.860 where Juliet doesn't die and takes initiative of her own life. And it follows a group of friends

01:16:41.520 coming into their own. May goes on a journey of self-discovery, finds love, and explores their

01:16:48.920 gender identity. I am fiercely proud that there are characters in the show that are in conversation

01:16:54.080 with queer representation and what it means to find love in a way that perhaps is often seen

01:16:59.240 as, as unconventional. We wanted to make the story kind of as, uh, accepting of all people and embracing of

01:17:05.340 all people as possible. I've never seen a non-binary character experience in a Broadway musical

01:17:10.180 before. So just to have that representation on stage is so important. May's experience just

01:17:16.020 happens to be so close to my own. And I feel so lucky that I get to tell the story.

01:17:21.220 I'm not a girl 0.80

01:17:24.060 This show celebrates queer love in a way that Broadway has been waiting for.

01:17:34.720 Good to know!

01:17:36.420 Good to know.

01:17:37.360 What do you, what do you make of it?

01:17:40.660 Um, it's all a sort of, I, I would say to Dr. Drew all the time, and especially recently,

01:17:48.540 just all roads lead to narcissism. Like we're going like, why are we in this place? Or how do

01:17:55.080 you figure this out? Or what's this person doing? It's all just a narcissistic disorder

01:18:01.200 about, you know, I, if you listen to any of these people from any of these groups, it always starts

01:18:08.660 with I, like I, I represent, I, I stand up. I, you know, all the people with the horrible

01:18:15.780 narcissistic disorders, all the super blowhards on the left, you know, like when Alyssa Milano 0.94

01:18:22.740 tweets, you know, it's like, I stand up for all children. I stand up for clean water. I stand up

01:18:29.020 for a government that this corruption is like, okay, you, you, you, you, you, it's always,

01:18:35.320 it's all narcissistic. No one has ever brought this to the stage before. I'm standing up for the

01:18:40.880 people that lurk in the shadows. Like at this point, over the last five years, LGBT trans,

01:18:48.400 are you guys still lurking in the shadows? Because I can't walk five feet without hearing about your

01:18:53.320 ass. It's amazing. This is like, this was so in your face. I mean, if the, for the listening 1.00

01:19:00.400 audience, it shows two guys kissing on stage. Obviously one of them is this guy who goes by he,

01:19:06.760 she, she, and they, all of them, Adam, all of them refused to go or to be considered for a Tony

01:19:14.860 award in 2023 because of the quote, gendered categories. He was, he, he, she, they, they were

01:19:22.000 upset about the gendered categories. And, um, it's just so happy that now we're celebrating queer love,

01:19:29.500 which is not at all what I thought something based on Shakespeare and about Juliet's next chapter

01:19:35.620 was going to be. How about the non-disclosure of any of this in the writeup about the show? Don't

01:19:43.040 we parents get a right to like make a call? You could be sending a much younger child than 12 there.

01:19:49.480 My kid and I have talked about these issues many times, but many haven't, this could be their first

01:19:54.120 exposure to it. It's not up to Broadway to do that. Yeah. Well, listen, I, uh, I don't bring it up,

01:20:02.460 but you know, there is some grooming possibilities going on here. I mean, as we learn from COVID,

01:20:10.880 they don't really tell you what was on the curriculum at a lot of schools. Uh, but there

01:20:15.680 was a lot of this, you know, on the agenda and in the agenda. So I think the, the kind of the

01:20:23.920 plan, even if it's unspoken is we're going to say, come to school or come to a theater,

01:20:32.660 come to Broadway and we're going to, you know, come to school. We're going to talk about reading

01:20:36.940 and writing and arithmetic, but also we're going to work in some of the trans community agenda

01:20:43.620 as well. Yeah. Maybe that's just the new world order because it just sort of, it's just kind of

01:20:51.460 popping up every place, but they don't push it out front because maybe they don't want the pushback

01:20:57.700 or maybe it would hurt ticket sales. Or if they said, listen, bring your sixth grader into school

01:21:03.160 so we can talk about, uh, the transgender community. Then parents would go, Whoa, I don't want that. 1.00

01:21:08.920 Or I don't want to send my kids there. There'd be some pushback. So they kind of leave that part off

01:21:13.800 and then they just sort of work that into the curriculum. So maybe that's what you would think.

01:21:20.780 I would have learned my lesson last year. My audience knows I went to see Macbeth with Doug,

01:21:25.840 my husband, and, um, it was starring Daniel Craig, James Bond. I'm like, Oh, this could be cool. I feel

01:21:31.960 like I'm getting a little culture here. It turned out there were, there was no set and there were no

01:21:36.760 costumes, very minimal, almost nothing. No set. They decided this is like the new cool way to do

01:21:41.300 it with absolutely no money, I guess, invested into it. And it was supposed to be, I think it's

01:21:45.580 15th century Scotland. Um, it was majority minority cast. So it's like, I mean, that's diversity's fine,

01:21:54.060 but like 1400 Scotland, pretty sure it was pretty lily white. And, uh, the, the, the, the person playing

01:22:02.060 the King's son was a girl who had a blue, like Mohawk type hairstyle. And of course, then the play

01:22:10.380 opened with a guy coming out in a wheelchair. I mean, it was every single category. We didn't learn

01:22:18.040 our lesson. We keep going back and keep getting more of the same. Know what you're getting into next

01:22:23.620 time. Peeps. I know, I guess you just have to figure that it's just baked in at this point and

01:22:33.840 you're going to have to check. I kind of remember when passion fruit iced tea replaced regular iced tea.

01:22:43.440 And, and I used to complain all the time because I love iced tea. And in California, they started

01:22:49.220 replacing it with passion fruit iced tea, which tastes like someone took a scented candle and

01:22:55.440 just dunked it in warm water. And at a certain point, and I'll, I'll come around to why this

01:23:02.220 will make sense. But at a certain point, I would start saying I'm ordering iced tea. It's just regular

01:23:07.740 iced tea. And they went, yeah, it's regular. And then they would bring me passion fruit iced tea.

01:23:12.740 And I'd go, this is passion fruit. And they'd go, that's regular. And I'm saying all the trans stuff, 1.00

01:23:19.220 or the, or the Mohawks or the female playing male roles or the wheel handy, capable people.

01:23:25.560 It is now just regular. You're just going to have to assume if you go to a Broadway play,

01:23:32.500 that is what you're going to get. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, Broadway's always been,

01:23:37.760 you know, leftist when it comes to that kind of thing and, and lots of gay men and all,

01:23:41.760 and that's fine. I don't, most people are totally tolerant of that, but I don't want it. So in my face,

01:23:46.640 why am I forced to celebrate? I don't, I'm looking to see something related to Shakespeare,

01:23:51.260 Juliet's next chapter, kind of like wicked where like, you're imagining this great story,

01:23:56.280 but from a different perspective. Yes. Love it. More of it. How do we get into queer love? Guys are 0.72

01:24:02.700 making out on stage and they're, you got the man dressed as a woman, but saying, I'm not a girl

01:24:07.620 who goes by he, she, they, I can't, it's a lot. It's a lot for a bunch of 12 year olds, especially.

01:24:12.240 All right. Standby quick break. We're going to come back with the latest on the trans 1.00

01:24:16.140 insanity in the athletic field. Wait until you see this video of this male pretending to be female

01:25:27.620 So Adam, we talked about in our first hour, you may have seen this story, but these illegals in 0.99

01:25:37.300 New York who were encountered by police and the police were questioning them. And I'm trying to

01:25:44.940 remember if they were, they were trying to arrest these guys or there was a confrontation and the

01:25:49.100 illegals start beating down the cops. The cops are trying to look at this. They're, they're kicking the 1.00

01:25:52.980 cops and the cops placed a couple of them under arrest. I think a couple are still at large

01:25:57.840 and we've just received the video of these illegal immigrants being released without bail.

01:26:05.120 Look at this double bird flipping the double bird to the cameras. You can see he feels

01:26:09.840 really remorseful about his behavior. Here's the next one. Double bird to the cameras. Welcome to

01:26:20.880 these are going to be fine upstanding citizens joining our ranks sometime soon, laughing and

01:26:25.880 flipping off the cameras. Yeah. Megan, I just want to correct you. You're calling them illegals. These 1.00

01:26:31.020 are undocumented dreamers. Okay. So please make a correction with your verbiage and show some 0.99

01:26:40.500 response to these people. Yeah. You know, I was kind of thinking about this just sort of philosophically

01:26:47.840 because now we're in a weird sort of through the looking glass upside down world where Biden,

01:26:55.860 who undid all of Trump's border measures is going, what do you want me to do? I didn't ever did

01:27:02.100 anything. Somebody's got to do something like it's this crazy upside down world where like, but I just

01:27:08.500 thought like, let's just do a thought experiment. Like, let's forget about the border for a moment and

01:27:15.800 just say, just pretend you had a school, right? And one group of people kept saying, we need to build

01:27:24.180 a fence around the school because we're worried about people coming in and maybe harming the

01:27:30.300 children or getting into the school or stealing the food from the cafeteria. And then you had another

01:27:36.540 group saying, we're not going to build a fence. And if you build a fence, we're going to tear it down.

01:27:42.620 Well, at some point, which group do you think would be more interested in protecting the school?

01:27:50.860 And we're living in a crazy world where you have the Republicans are like, build a fence,

01:27:56.460 build a wall, do it, do it, do it. The Democrats are like, don't build a wall, tear down the wall,

01:28:03.540 sell all the materials off for scrap while they rust in the desert.

01:28:07.540 And then they go, we're super interested in protecting the school. And it's like,

01:28:13.800 you're super interested in protecting the school. I'd like to build a fence around the school. No,

01:28:19.340 no, no. We're going to tear the fence down. And if you start building the fence and we take control,

01:28:25.140 then we're going to take the part of the fence that you built and we'll tear that down. We'll sell

01:28:29.460 all the material for scrap, but do not tell us we're not more interested than you in protecting the

01:28:35.460 school. Well, if you put it that way, that sounds insane.

01:28:40.140 It's the same thing on women's rights that the Democrats, I mean, every other day, 1.00

01:28:44.420 how they're the champions of women's rights. When that E. Jean Carroll was on Rachel Maddow's show 0.99

01:28:48.280 the other night, women's rights, I'll do what it takes for women's rights. That's what Rachel said.

01:28:53.220 E. Jean Carroll, she's a women's rights champion. I have yet to see Rachel Maddow or any on the left,

01:28:59.100 MSNBC, et cetera, pick up the mantle of fairness to girls in sports, fairness and safety for women 1.00

01:29:06.200 in women's spaces. And that brings me to the trans story that I mentioned. Sadie Rose Schreiner

01:29:12.560 is an amazing runner, Adam. Sadie Rose is crushing it, running as a sophomore at the Rochester Institute

01:29:19.600 of Technology. Just watch Sadie Rose absolutely dominate Sadie's competitors, breaking collegiate 1.00

01:29:28.940 records in track and field. Here, take a look, watch some video. This is Sadie. Look how long

01:29:36.780 Sadie's legs are. Look how tall Sadie is. Sadie is like the Leah Thomas of running. There isn't a girl 0.99

01:29:45.420 near Sadie. Sadie looks unbeatable. And there are at least five body lengths between Sadie and the next 1.00

01:29:54.200 person on the team. And there's a very good reason for all of that. Sadie's a man. Sadie is not just

01:30:01.300 any man. Sadie was on the men's track team just a couple of years ago. Actually, yeah, one year ago

01:30:10.220 in December 2022, he was competing in the men's category of track and field. But like so many of

01:30:18.660 these men, he wasn't very good. So if you took the same times he's posting as a women's record setter 0.96

01:30:25.260 and medal winner, he would be a loser as a guy. Sadie's real name is Camden before the quote 0.84

01:30:32.220 transition. Just sent to set two new records on Friday in track and field for RIT and New York

01:30:38.220 set the 200 meter record qualified for the Atlantic regional championship, broke the 300

01:30:43.300 meter record. Uh, the 300 meter race time was over two seconds ahead of the first female runner behind 1.00

01:30:49.460 him. Uh, for comparison, his times would have placed him in 18th place among the men's 200 meter

01:30:58.060 race in 10th on the men's 300 meter. Nope. He's first now that he's a so-called girl also placed 0.76

01:31:04.520 first in the four by 400 meter relay earning a Liberty league women's track and field performer

01:31:09.160 of the week award. Yay. Cause the best women are men. He brags crazy meat last weekend running till 1.00

01:31:15.980 my legs gave out. It's not his first stolen win in December. Just this past one, he was at Nazareth

01:31:24.040 university in New York, setting the new record there with a time of 41.8 seconds reportedly competed at

01:31:29.640 the very same meat Adam one year earlier in the men's category of the 100 meter where he came in

01:31:38.240 19th. You see, he only gets 19th or 18th as a man, but it's wonderful because with those long legs

01:31:46.040 and post-male puberty and having run professionally or in the college level as a man, it's very, very easy

01:31:51.140 to meet, to beat the actual females. But could it go any other way? I mean, this is the system. 1.00

01:32:01.860 And I think what we fail to realize, and especially the progressives and the leftists fail to realize

01:32:09.600 is this is human nature. So if you say you can't travel with your dog, you can't bring your dog to an

01:32:19.480 airport and you can't bring your dog on an airplane. And I go, well, I want to bring my dog to an

01:32:24.880 airport. I want to travel with my dog, especially if it's for free. And they go, well, you can't do

01:32:30.180 it unless it's a service animal. And you go service animal. How's that work? Oh, you just get a note

01:32:37.180 from your doctor saying you have like coma or saying you have anxiety or something. And then you can travel

01:32:41.980 with fluffy. Well, there's going to be perfect. There's got you go to the airport. Now you step

01:32:48.020 in dog poop because people go, oh, that's the system. OK, let's game the system. This is what

01:32:55.460 we do. This is what Americans I mean, they go, you know, fill out your taxes. How many dependents do

01:33:00.480 you have? I have five, but you only have one child. I know, but I'm counting my teapot as a dependent.

01:33:06.980 You know, I mean, it's human nature. Everyone comes over the border, right? Used to be remain 1.00

01:33:13.120 in Mexico. Now they go, well, you come over here. And if you're seeking asylum because you're coming

01:33:18.280 from a regime that's oppressing you. So people come across the border and they go, uh, yeah,

01:33:24.280 I'm an 18 year old dude who's looking for work, but I'll just say come from a oppressive regime

01:33:28.560 and I fear for my life. And they go, oh, right. Well, that's what we do. And so when you open the

01:33:35.160 door, people walk through it. And that's what you're saying. X amount of women and X amount of 1.00

01:33:43.120 men, and I should say pretty much men are going to do this because everyone wants to be first

01:33:50.300 and no one wants to be 19th. So that's what this creates and it's going to happen and it can't not

01:33:58.620 happen. And we shouldn't be so naive to think that it isn't going to happen. And that's what we do.

01:34:05.640 We go, Hey, defund the police and start community ambassadors. These are unarmed people who understand

01:34:12.720 the community. Next thing you know, everyone's getting the shit kicked out of them and carjacked 0.99

01:34:17.700 because all the fakakta crazy left-wing ideas only lead here. That's how it works. 0.99

01:34:26.720 It's just, I'm sure Sadie's in the locker room with these young women right now. And they're

01:34:32.300 probably too afraid to say anything. We've seen the story before. All right. Finally,

01:34:36.420 in the minute or so we have left reports, take it for what it's worth. Cause it's at a rolling stone

01:34:41.840 that, uh, someone close to Donald Trump is saying that if Taylor Swift publicly backs Joe Biden in

01:34:49.660 the next election, Trump supporters will unleash a quote, holy war on the mega star. Do you think

01:34:58.760 that's a good idea? Um, first things first, I wouldn't wipe my ass with a page from Rolling Stone 0.99

01:35:07.520 magazine. They completely destroyed themselves. I have no idea why Rolling Stone wants to go down 0.99

01:35:15.880 the path of sports illustrated or the LA times. You idiots have destroyed your own brand. I used to 1.00

01:35:23.660 subscribe to Rolling Stone. I used to read Rolling Stone and I used to take articles from Rolling Stone

01:35:29.660 and go, Oh, this must've happened. I did not know back then that they had any kind of agenda

01:35:37.380 other than reporting on rock and roll and things related to it. I now believe nothing. Rolling Stone

01:35:45.040 says about anything. They're just a lying rag. So I have no idea if this is true. I don't believe it 0.99

01:35:55.140 because Rolling Stone, if Rolling Stone came out with an article that said, Adam Carolla is 59 years of age 0.96

01:36:03.300 and six foot two and a Gemini, I would go, that's bullshit because it's in Rolling Stone. 0.51

01:36:09.960 Well, I think you, I have the same skepticism about the publication as you do, but I also know that 0.87

01:36:16.880 those very close to Trump, uh, if she does get political and she throws her hat in for his

01:36:22.340 opponent, he's not above hitting her and he's not above having, you know, team MAGA hit her. And

01:36:27.100 that's just what happens when you step your foot into politics. I'm sure she's aware of that. And I

01:36:32.560 think if she does, so she's fair game, Adam, it's been a true pleasure. Thank you so much for all

01:36:38.980 the laughs. Always a good time, Megan. Oh, likewise. All right. See you soon. And see all of you

01:36:45.760 tomorrow. We're going to have our Kelly score all stars, Arthur Idala and Mark Iglar. See you then.

01:36:53.960 Thanks for listening to the Megan Kelly show. No BS, no agenda and no fear.

01:37:02.560 You're welcome.
