Transcript

00:00:00.000 We hear Newsome, Newsome, Newsome,
00:00:02.160 but probably the most qualified person in this podcast right now
00:00:06.060 to speak on Newsome is Adam Carolla.
00:00:08.640 This is you sitting with him.
00:00:10.240 If I'm not mistaken, this is 12 years ago.
00:00:12.640 Yes.
00:00:12.960 10 or 12 years ago when you guys are sitting down, he's in your set,
00:00:15.940 he's in your podcast.
00:00:16.820 Rob, if you want to play this clip,
00:00:18.900 this one-minute exchange between the two will give you some context
00:00:23.040 and then I want to hear from you.
00:00:24.420 If Newsome's changed at all, has he won you over?
00:00:27.840 Do you want to endorse him?
00:00:29.280 Do you want to get behind him?
00:00:30.320 Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:31.280 ...of African-Americans in the state of California,
00:00:33.180 roughly half of Latino families,
00:00:34.540 that have no access to a checking account or an ATM.
00:00:37.320 Things we take for granted.
00:00:38.300 They don't have a checking account.
00:00:38.840 What's wrong with them?
00:00:39.840 Well, because they don't have the resources to suck those things away.
00:00:43.420 Why do we have them?
00:00:44.880 A lot of different reasons.
00:00:46.360 Why those two groups don't have access?
00:00:48.000 A lot of...
00:00:48.760 It just happens to be that.
00:00:50.420 So they're flawed?
00:00:51.520 No, they're hardly flawed, but they're struggling.
00:00:53.240 Genetically flawed.
00:00:54.360 Hardly.
00:00:54.840 Not absolutely not.
00:00:55.800 Okay, so do Asians have this problem?
00:00:58.040 I mean, a lot of communities have problems.
00:01:00.320 A lot of whites have these problems.
00:01:01.740 Oh, so that's not just black and Hispanic.
00:01:03.560 No, but I'm giving you...
00:01:04.560 But why did you bring up black and Hispanic?
00:01:05.700 Because the magnitude is ominous.
00:01:07.660 But why so many of them?
00:01:08.860 It just happens to be the magnitude...
00:01:10.380 That's the way God planned it?
00:01:11.840 Not at all.
00:01:12.720 Well, what happened to them?
00:01:13.620 There are a lot of issues, and that communities are struggling.
00:01:17.340 Why are they struggling?
00:01:18.540 A lot of different reasons.
00:01:19.620 The only reason why is the magnitude of the problem.
00:01:22.900 There's so many more.
00:01:24.280 The magnitude and percentage terms.
00:01:25.780 But there's no way to figure out how that happened.
00:01:27.120 Of Africa.
00:01:27.780 We can talk about that.
00:01:28.880 You know what I'm dealing with?
00:01:29.860 I don't want to have a sociological debate.
00:01:31.660 Sure, why would you?
00:01:33.020 No, here's why.
00:01:33.940 Why would you want to do that?
00:01:34.840 Because the person from the Times wouldn't write good things about you if you did that.
00:01:37.680 No, no, that's not the case, because I want to deal with reality.
00:01:39.940 You don't want to get into that.
00:01:40.320 No, no.
00:01:40.780 You want to deal with reality?
00:01:41.840 I want to deal with reality.
00:01:42.900 The idea of people that are struggling, people are suffering.
00:01:45.060 I want to deal with the problems in a pragmatic way.
00:01:46.500 Why are they struggling and suffering?
00:01:47.480 I don't want an idea.
00:01:48.260 We can hold hands and surmise about all these other ideas.
00:01:51.100 What did he say right after this interview was done?
00:01:53.640 What did he tell you?
00:01:55.140 He's Teflon.
00:01:56.820 He doesn't care.
00:01:57.500 He's a sociopath.
00:01:58.760 So he doesn't, it's like, did you feel bad after you killed your wife and her family?
00:02:02.780 Like, no, I'm a sociopath.
00:02:04.480 You know what I mean?
00:02:06.120 I had wings.
00:02:07.540 How could I do this?
00:02:08.580 Yeah, he's a sociopath.
00:02:10.600 He does not, you have to be a sociopath to answer questions that way, because I asked
00:02:18.480 him 17 different times what is going on with these groups that they don't have access to
00:02:23.760 checking accounts, which, by the way, is BS.
00:02:27.020 I mean, the notion that half, half the black and Hispanics, California is half Hispanic.
00:02:34.240 You know how many people wouldn't have access to a checking account if half of them?
00:02:38.280 So he gets out of the gate with BS.
00:02:41.080 He just lies.
00:02:42.700 I mean, you really think in modern times, half of the people in California don't have access
00:02:47.620 to a checking account.
00:02:48.840 And then when I try to get him to answer the question, he won't answer the question.
00:02:55.500 By the way, this is not what you want in a leader.
00:03:00.420 If I came, because he presented a problem.
00:03:02.440 So if I came in to your home and I said, you've got a big termite problem in this house, and
00:03:07.340 then you went, how do we eradicate it?
00:03:08.980 And I go, it just is, you know, and then you go, I know, but I want to fix it.
00:03:13.260 How do we fix this problem?
00:03:14.740 That's just the way it is.
00:03:16.240 And then I, you go, but how do we get the termites out of house?
00:03:19.000 I go, a lot of houses have termites.
00:03:21.380 And you keep asking the person, they won't provide an answer.
00:03:24.700 It's his job to fix this stuff.
00:03:26.980 Okay, you're in charge of California and half the black and Hispanics don't have access
00:03:32.280 to checking accounts.
00:03:33.700 What's your plan?
00:03:34.800 His answer, nothing.
00:03:36.700 He just wanted to argue.
00:03:38.200 By the way, do you have the other clip?
00:03:39.260 Because there's another clip with you on Newsom, if I'm not mistaken, right?
00:03:41.880 There's a, the other one where, no, not that one.
00:03:44.500 There's a, oh, there's one where I confronted him.
00:03:47.520 No, there's one that he confronted him that he sent it to you.
00:03:51.560 Yeah, that was a weird story.
00:03:54.020 I slacked it, Robbie.
00:03:56.980 Right here.
00:03:57.400 Right there.
00:03:58.060 Not that one.
00:03:58.740 The other one, Rob.
00:03:59.660 You just had it.
00:04:01.340 That, I can, yeah, there was that one.
00:04:04.680 Rob, the one right before, right there.
00:04:06.640 Right there, that one, yeah.
00:04:07.540 There you go.
00:04:08.660 Adam Carolla here.
00:04:10.080 Governor, why did you shut the beaches in California during COVID?
00:04:17.400 Yeah, I think we all were working on information at the time.
00:04:21.280 We had no basis of deeply understanding the virus.
00:04:25.420 I think they did the same thing.
00:04:26.640 So you didn't know anything.
00:04:27.180 So why did you shut the beaches?
00:04:28.220 States like Florida.
00:04:29.260 If you didn't know anything, why did you shut the beaches?
00:04:31.840 Well, we didn't know.
00:04:34.240 Yeah, because people were concerned early in the pandemic.
00:04:37.740 Information was coming out as it relates to how it was transferred.
00:04:40.640 The disease, and people were cautious, trying to keep people alive.
00:04:44.840 And I should say this.
00:04:45.640 So you didn't let him go in the sunshine and get vitamin D in exercise, so you shut the beaches.
00:04:51.260 Okay.
00:04:52.160 And you arrested a guy who was paddle boarding in the bay.
00:04:54.600 So I'm on health, wealth, and...
00:04:56.640 Yeah, any science behind that?
00:04:59.580 It's always good to see Adam.
00:04:59.900 Any science behind that?
00:05:00.640 We're all behind shutting down outdoor dining.
00:05:02.980 Why'd you shut down outdoor dining?
00:05:05.620 Look at him, dude.
00:05:06.360 Go ahead, go ahead.
00:05:08.180 Is this based on science you didn't have?
00:05:10.100 At the end of the day, the debate tonight...
00:05:12.360 It's not a debate.
00:05:13.520 You shut down outdoor dining.
00:05:15.320 You canceled businesses.
00:05:16.900 It has nothing to do with science.
00:05:19.240 All right, let him finish people.
00:05:20.400 All right, go ahead.
00:05:21.820 All this happened in the...
00:05:23.660 Yeah, I wasn't...
00:05:25.000 He didn't know I was going to be there.
00:05:26.700 Oh, you're kidding.
00:05:27.780 So who was the host?
00:05:28.960 Who was the host?
00:05:29.900 That's why.
00:05:30.780 Chris Cuomo.
00:05:31.540 So Newsom, trust me, would have never spoke to me.
00:05:38.820 No way would he have done that.
00:05:40.740 What happened was is...
00:05:42.300 How did Cuomo set that up?
00:05:44.480 Without telling Newsom?
00:05:46.240 So here's what Cuomo did.
00:05:48.180 Cuomo was doing his debate night coverage in New York.
00:05:52.540 And I was in New York or something.
00:05:54.120 He invited me and Stephen A. to sit down with him.
00:05:58.160 And we were doing the whole debate night coverage thing.
00:06:00.860 I didn't know anything.
00:06:02.200 And then we went to a commercial after like an hour.
00:06:05.940 And then he's like, oh, when we come back from commercial,
00:06:08.620 Gavin Newsom's going to be joining us via remote.
00:06:11.780 And me and Stephen A. were just sitting there like next to him,
00:06:14.740 like we're doing now.
00:06:16.000 And I was like, all right, well, talk to him.
00:06:18.200 And then right before we come back from commercial, he goes,
00:06:21.600 and you guys ask him a question too.
00:06:23.220 Oh, beautiful.
00:06:24.140 And I was just sitting there going, Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom.
00:06:26.800 I'm going to ask him a question.
00:06:27.900 Wow.
00:06:28.180 And so everyone else asked him a debate question,
00:06:31.200 but I went in on COVID.
00:06:33.260 And I just had 10 seconds.
00:06:34.820 And he didn't know he was going to talk to me.
00:06:36.960 That's why I said, good to see you again.
00:06:39.160 So let me ask you, with everything that's going on in California,
00:06:42.600 and you've had this guy for, how long have you been living in California?
00:06:45.960 I was born there.
00:06:46.840 Okay.
00:06:47.040 So your entire life you've been in California.
00:06:48.860 Yeah.
00:06:49.120 And have you ever been tempted to leave the state?
00:06:51.540 No, no.
00:06:52.340 California was the place where everyone else came to you.
00:06:57.220 You know, I lived in L.A.
00:06:59.380 There was no reason to even dream of going.
00:07:03.360 And by the way, when you're from L.A. and you're young, like, places like,
00:07:07.560 you know, Kentucky or Idaho, you don't even know where those are.
00:07:10.420 You think you've got to ride a horse in those towns, you know,
00:07:13.800 chew tobacco and stuff.
00:07:15.240 Like, I was just like, everyone comes here.
00:07:17.520 And that's the way it was, by the way.
00:07:19.160 Every person came there.
00:07:21.600 And then, you know, later on when you get into comedy,
00:07:23.800 you start doing improv and you have troops and hang with comedians and stuff.
00:07:27.520 Every single one of them is from somewhere else.
00:07:30.320 They all come here.
00:07:31.720 That's why you can't get a good sports bar, a good, like, Rams sports bar.
00:07:36.180 They're like three Steelers sports bars in L.A.
00:07:39.380 And there's no Rams sports bar because everyone is from somewhere else.
00:07:44.020 And they all come here and they root for their team, you know.
00:07:47.200 But, no, you would never dream of leaving L.A. in the past or California.
00:07:53.560 How much have things gotten better or worse while Newsom's been your governor?
00:07:59.080 Have you seen at least something getting better?
00:08:03.480 I can't think of anything.
00:08:06.060 I'm trying not to use too much hyperbole here.
00:08:08.880 The stuff you see is homelessness.
00:08:11.120 And the other thing that you see in California, which is sort of counterintuitive, is garbage.
00:08:17.980 Lots of garbage.
00:08:19.420 Lots of graffiti.
00:08:20.580 Lots of filth.
00:08:21.540 Just filth.
00:08:22.840 And it's weird because California, Golden State, and all that kind of stuff, beaches and sunshine and everything.
00:08:29.900 It is.
00:08:30.360 The major cities are dirty.
00:08:33.060 Really dirty.
00:08:34.160 Just, it's homeless and just garbage and graffiti and sort of blight and filth everywhere, which is weird and depressing.
00:08:43.380 And, of course, gas is, you know, $5.50 a gallon with the worst roads in the country.
00:08:48.040 You have no desire to run for governor?
00:08:50.340 No.
00:08:50.960 Zero?
00:08:51.960 No.
00:08:52.360 Is it 1%, 5%, 10%?
00:08:54.840 I've never, I, it comes up from time to time.
00:08:57.720 But you have no desire, no interest.
00:08:59.620 I don't.
00:09:00.140 Because you're young.
00:09:00.840 I, I don't think about it.
00:09:02.760 I, it's weird.
00:09:04.140 I also come from poor people's stock.
00:09:07.580 And the poor people's stock is sort of like, come on, you can't be the governor.
00:09:11.500 Come on.
00:09:11.960 You're poor.
00:09:12.060 But you know why I think you would be interesting?
00:09:14.660 Because I'm watching, and listen, if he doesn't like you and you've been, you've gone toe-to-toe with him, you know, the part with you that's interesting, Adam, is you were Hollywood.
00:09:26.780 You know what I'm saying?
00:09:27.740 Didn't you have a, was it you and Jimmy?
00:09:29.720 You and Jimmy Kimmel had a show together, right?
00:09:32.260 Back in the days.
00:09:33.260 Yeah.
00:09:33.360 So essentially, you came from that world.
00:09:35.980 So was this what the show was, Rob?
00:09:38.600 Can you zoom in a little bit?
00:09:39.460 The man show.
00:09:40.180 Right?
00:09:40.280 Of course.
00:09:40.880 Yeah.
00:09:41.100 So you guys came from there.
00:09:42.860 So you told me everything I know, Adam Carolla.
00:09:45.080 Thank you, bad Adam.
00:09:47.960 You're welcome, great Adam.
00:09:49.720 Governor of California, Adam Carolla.
00:09:51.660 No, it's no car Adam and cool car Adam.
00:09:53.740 Yes.
00:09:54.240 So, so there's a, there's a clip.
00:09:56.320 Uber Adam will call you.
00:09:57.380 That's right, baby.
00:09:57.880 They will call me super, Adam.
00:09:59.380 I'll pick you up around eight.
00:10:01.420 Every time we do the Vol Conference, if you've attended, you know this.
00:10:04.820 I stand up and I speak for probably 45 hours is what I do at the Vol Conference.
00:10:10.260 And I love it.
00:10:10.980 I love being around the guys.
00:10:11.980 I love it.
00:10:12.760 But I wear the Ferragamo shoes when I do this.
00:10:16.100 Or I wear some kind of dress shoes.
00:10:18.700 Eventually, for the last 25 years, I've always been on stage walking.
00:10:21.980 I'm like, you know what?
00:10:22.640 I'm sick and tired of it.
00:10:23.460 I want a shoe that I'm comfortable wearing.
00:10:26.600 And here's what I love.
00:10:27.840 I don't like shoes that are so heavy.
00:10:29.740 That's a dumbbell.
00:10:30.360 You can use it as a weapon.
00:10:31.640 I don't want that.
00:10:32.280 Like the Xenia, you carry it.
00:10:33.600 I have so many of them, but they're so heavy.
00:10:35.260 Like you can literally curl the Xenia, you know, the shoes and you'll get a pump within
00:10:39.040 30 reps.
00:10:39.920 And I wanted the combination of the Hoka, the On Cloud, the Super Foam, because there's
00:10:45.280 a big thing going on right now with the Super Foam where the bottom of the shoe,
00:10:48.940 you wear it.
00:10:49.420 You know which ones I'm talking about, the On Cloud or the Hokas, right?
00:10:51.560 They're so comfortable.
00:10:52.580 And I said, what if we take luxury and then combine it with the Super Comfort, what would
00:10:58.340 that look like?
00:10:59.200 And let's build it in Italy.
00:11:00.820 So what do we do?
00:11:01.640 We went to Italy.
00:11:02.880 We designed the shoe in Florida.
00:11:04.680 We made the shoe in Italy in five of the factories.
00:11:07.980 We went back in Fort God knows how many times.
00:11:10.360 And by the way, the shoes we're about to launch and introduce to you right now where you're
00:11:13.840 going to see the video for the first time.
00:11:15.540 I've been wearing those shoes for the last 22 days straight.
00:11:19.100 I'm wearing them right now.
00:11:19.980 I literally wear it with suits.
00:11:21.820 I wore it yesterday when we went to lunch.
00:11:23.700 I wear it every single day.
00:11:25.140 It's the most comfortable shoes I have.
00:11:27.020 Yet, it's authentic Italian leather wrap.
00:11:29.940 If you don't mind playing the video, go for it.
00:11:32.140 Here's the video of the latest shoe, the FLBs.
00:11:34.400 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice
00:11:41.480 to make it fast.
00:11:42.800 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:11:44.940 We chose neither.
00:11:46.500 Instead, we chose Toscaniro.
00:11:48.680 We chose true Italian craftsmanship.
00:11:51.400 Each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:11:54.260 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail.
00:11:57.720 And we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:12:01.920 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:12:05.260 Not rushed.
00:12:06.800 Not disposable.
00:12:08.260 Not ordinary.
00:12:09.620 Rather intentional.
00:12:12.360 Luxurious.
00:12:13.640 Timeless.
00:12:14.100 Boom.
00:12:18.420 There you go.
00:12:19.300 Designed in Florida.
00:12:20.320 100% made in Italy.
00:12:22.120 50 hands touched each shoe that was made.
00:12:25.020 And here's what's unique about it.
00:12:26.280 I want to kind of show this to everybody that knows this.
00:12:28.740 And I've worn pretty much every one of these shoes.
00:12:30.700 So, if you compare this, the Italian leather, of course, it's made in Italy.
00:12:35.240 It's not assembled, made in China, assembled in Italy.
00:12:38.220 100% made in Italy, assembled in Italy.
00:12:40.600 It's FLBs, Berlutis, which are 1840.
00:12:43.980 Fergamos are 895.
00:12:45.260 Zennias are 1190.
00:12:46.280 And Gucci's are 950.
00:12:48.000 Leather premium lining.
00:12:49.280 All of them except for Gucci.
00:12:51.280 Laceless feature.
00:12:52.320 It's the FLBs, the Berlutis.
00:12:54.100 You have laces.
00:12:55.420 Fergamos, laceless.
00:12:56.960 And then you have also the Zennias.
00:12:58.240 And then the Gucci's have the laces.
00:12:59.540 I don't want to wake up in the morning, put laces on.
00:13:01.120 I want to get out of the house.
00:13:01.800 It took me three seconds to put my shoes on today.
00:13:04.680 Craftsman, five different Italian factories all made this shoe.
00:13:08.480 Berlutis are the same as us, as well as FLB.
00:13:11.000 But the only shoe, these trainers, the only one in the world today, according to the factories
00:13:15.920 that told me this, in Italy, that has the super foam, the only one that has the same
00:13:20.820 super foam used in the On Clouds and the Hocas, it's the FLBs.
00:13:25.440 And they're officially out.
00:13:26.640 And you can place the order.
00:13:27.980 Here's a challenge.
00:13:29.120 We only have 1,000 of these pairs.
00:13:31.860 And when you say 1,000 of these pairs, they start from size, I believe, is it 8?
00:13:36.040 It goes 8, 9, 10, 10 1⁄2, 11, 11 1⁄2, 12, 13.
00:13:41.180 Those are the sizes that we have.
00:13:42.940 And the shoes that you can get today, the colors, you have access to, Rob, if you can
00:13:46.960 go back there, you can have access to those browns, which is absolutely beautiful.
00:13:50.780 And by the way, the brown on the bottom, the stitching on the side is a left stitching.
00:13:54.960 If you can change the picture on the bottom, it says the future looks bright.
00:13:59.020 Look at the white lines on the side.
00:14:02.200 It's beautiful.
00:14:02.600 The only ones we have right now that you can get sent out today are the black and the
00:14:07.600 browns.
00:14:08.080 If you do want the white to pre-order, I would highly recommend you do so.
00:14:12.480 They're going to come out the second week of December.
00:14:14.520 So the white and the navy blue comes out the second week of December.
00:14:17.500 The browns and the blacks are available.
00:14:20.200 If you believe the future looks bright as much as we do, go place the order.
00:14:24.300 There's nothing like sitting in the boardroom with your trainers and you put your feet over
00:14:28.440 your knee and people look at the bottom of your shoe and it says future looks bright.
00:14:31.480 That's how you get deals done.
00:14:32.900 All right.
00:14:33.220 So they're out.
00:14:33.840 I'm excited to announce it and I'm very happy for people to go sport it.
00:14:37.500 When you get them, take pictures, send it our way.
00:14:39.740 We're going to show all these shoes, all the pictures that are being taken.
