Valuetainment - ＂I've Hated Katie Porter For YEARS＂ - Adam Carolla RIPS California’s Political Circus & Chaos

00:00:00.000 Are you optimistic about the new talent that has, you know, just taken the, she's just a rock star, Katie Porter.

00:00:09.740 Are you, like, super optimistic that she's going to be, I mean, when you see clips like this of Katie, I'm in love.

00:00:16.320 I'm telling you guys right now.

00:00:17.120 Oh, you're talking about Katie Potato Porter?

00:00:19.360 She is absolutely amazing.

00:00:21.780 Rob, if you want to play this clip, this is when you know, you know, love at first sight.

00:00:27.280 When she talks like you're like this, this is a keeper.

00:00:30.620 Rob, can you play this clip, please?

00:00:33.880 Get out of my fucking shot.

00:00:37.360 Oh, she just talks dirty. 1.00

00:00:39.940 Yeah.

00:00:41.140 She talks dirty, too. 1.00

00:00:42.300 Get out of my shit.

00:00:44.480 Okay.

00:00:45.280 It does.

00:00:45.680 Okay.

00:00:46.260 You also were in my shot before that.

00:00:48.540 Now, this breaks my heart.

00:00:50.440 What breaks my heart, Rob, if you don't mind playing the Harry Enten clip of what happened with her, you know, percentages of what she could have done.

00:00:57.180 Because, to me, this is a once-in-a-generation type of a talent.

00:00:59.960 You don't find people like this.

00:01:01.360 This is like Otani.

00:01:04.320 This is like Aaron Judge.

00:01:05.800 This is like an A-Rod coming through.

00:01:08.100 And California is going to waste this incredible talent that they have.

00:01:11.380 Watch the stats.

00:01:12.940 10,000% increase on Google searches.

00:01:15.820 Rob, go ahead.

00:01:17.700 Hey, Laura.

00:01:18.260 You know, I'm looking around, and I don't seem to see anyone in my shot over there.

00:01:22.620 So, I guess that makes me a little bit like, unlike Katie Porter, right?

00:01:26.920 But, look, the Katie Porter snappings, they have been heard around the world.

00:01:31.360 And I think that Katie Porter is making history because she has potentially annihilated her chances to be the next governor of California, more so than any other candidate I've ever seen so quickly. 0.97

00:01:41.300 My goodness gracious.

00:01:42.440 What are we talking about right here?

00:01:44.140 Well, let's take a look.

00:01:44.940 Chance to be the next California governor.

00:01:46.720 According to the Cal sheet prediction market, Katie Porter's chances have fallen through the floor. 1.00

00:01:51.660 Just two days ago, she was the plurality leader in the prediction markets at 40%.

00:01:56.160 Now, get this, her chance has fallen by more than half to just 16%. 0.93

00:02:01.640 My goodness gracious.

00:02:03.160 Meanwhile, Alex Padilla, who's not even running for governor of California at this point, he's a sitting senator from that state, his chances have gone up through the roof.

00:02:11.040 From 10% all the way to 27%, nearly gone up threefold.

00:02:15.360 Now, one of the big reasons why the prediction markets have moved so much on Katie Porter's chances to be the next governor of California is because people are really interested in this story.

00:02:25.640 Take a look here.

00:02:26.560 Google searches for Katie Porter at an all-time high, despite Katie Porter having a long political career.

00:02:32.580 Get this, up over 10,000% versus just a week ago.

00:02:36.760 And not so surprisingly, the top topic search alongside Katie Porter at this point, interview.

00:02:42.820 It turns out maybe you shouldn't snap at a local political reporter.

00:02:46.660 But I'll tell you who else can't get enough of the Katie Porter story besides just the voters out in California and the people in the United States at large.

00:02:53.920 It's Fox News.

00:02:55.020 Fox News, if you have tuned in over the last two days and you tune in a particular hour, there's a pretty good chance you're going to see Katie Porter.

00:03:02.060 I mean, look at all of these segments that Fox News has been doing.

00:03:05.520 Indeed, I looked it up.

00:03:07.080 There have been segments featuring Katie Porter, get this, over 20 times, 20-plus times over just the last two days alone.

00:03:16.440 Fox News can't get enough of her. 1.00

00:03:18.060 Composer writer.

00:03:18.440 But, you know, the Katie—

00:03:19.060 So are you excited about her at least being your governor instead of Newsom?

00:03:21.860 Like, there's got to be a little bit of enthusiasm with her, though, no?

00:03:25.520 Hey, I'd give her—I'm interested to, like, a tater tot type level, not a full—

00:03:31.340 Katie, potato. 0.69

00:03:32.740 Yukon, gold, loaded, steakhouse, chives, cheddar on the side, size.

00:03:40.920 I'm going to keep—I'm going to manage it at a tot level.

00:03:43.460 Can I change your mind at least like this?

00:03:44.960 I mean, think about this here.

00:03:46.000 When you think about somebody like this, in spring of 2006, I made mashed potatoes for dinner.

00:03:52.360 This is her.

00:03:52.880 Our oldest child, Luke, was sitting next to me in his high chair as I was getting ready for dinner.

00:03:58.500 Petitioner looked at—I think this is the husband's statement?

00:04:00.980 This is the husband's statement.

00:04:02.240 Petitioner looked at the potatoes in the ceramic bowl and yelled at me,

00:04:07.140 Can't you read the effing instructions?

00:04:09.540 She then took the ceramic bowl of steaming hot potatoes and dumped it on my head, burning my scalp. 1.00

00:04:15.320 I am concerned for my safety and the safety of our children.

00:04:18.700 Petitioner's behavior has only gotten worse, more unpredictable,

00:04:22.160 and unstable, and the outbursts of abuse and anger have increased.

00:04:25.980 I think this is her ex-husband saying this.

00:04:27.880 To making false allegations about me.

00:04:31.420 Wouldn't you want somebody this tough to be your leader?

00:04:33.880 I don't want to be a hypocrite.

00:04:35.540 I will be 100% honest.

00:04:37.600 I don't care about bedside manner.

00:04:40.380 You know, I don't care about General Patton yelling at a guy to get up because he's got the shakes and get out there and fight.

00:04:46.220 I love football coaches.

00:04:47.540 I love generals.

00:04:48.140 I don't care about someone's yelter.

00:04:51.760 I think she's your type.

00:04:53.420 I don't care.

00:04:55.120 And evidently single now as well.

00:04:57.420 So I don't mind any of that stuff.

00:05:00.240 I was on to Katie Porter about five or six years ago because some bank, it was Washington Mutual or B of A or something,

00:05:08.180 issued a statement sort of saying, like, save your money, don't buy, you know, if you can walk to the restaurant, walk to the restaurant, don't take an Uber, make your own coffee, don't spend eight bucks at Starbucks.

00:05:21.180 And then she tore into the bank for suggesting people save their money.

00:05:26.360 And I was like, oh, this witch is nuts. 1.00

00:05:28.760 She's nuts because it's the advice your grandfather would have said.

00:05:32.040 Like if you said, I moved out of the house, I don't have any money.

00:05:35.040 Stop going out to eat.

00:05:36.520 Why don't you make yourself food at home?

00:05:37.880 Why don't you get a little exercise?

00:05:39.460 Take a walk.

00:05:40.060 Don't hire an Uber or a car.

00:05:41.660 It was all grandfatherly, old school advice.

00:05:46.020 And she, along with Liz Warren, dug into the bank and attacked the bank and said, why don't you pay your employees and blah, blah, blah. 0.93

00:05:55.860 This is, I don't know how long.

00:05:57.400 Is this like five years?

00:05:58.580 2019.

00:05:59.400 Okay.

00:05:59.840 Okay.

00:06:00.120 Six years ago.

00:06:01.100 So I found this out and I was like, okay, this bitch is nuts. 1.00

00:06:04.400 And I don't want her anywhere near the controls of government.

00:06:09.020 So you want me to read it?

00:06:10.980 Go for it.

00:06:11.900 Okay.

00:06:12.360 So it's, they do a thing with Chase Bank and they do something cute with your checking account, your savings account.

00:06:18.260 So why is my balance so low?

00:06:21.340 Bank account, make coffee at home.

00:06:24.960 Don't, you make food at home.

00:06:27.960 Don't, don't take a cab, walk, get some exercise.

00:06:31.220 And so it's you having a talk with your, your bank account saying, I need more money in you.

00:06:36.060 And your bank accounts go and say, here's some practical ways to save.

00:06:39.400 She then writes back.

00:06:40.740 Hey, Chase, try paying your workers more.

00:06:44.540 Families aren't spending frivolously.

00:06:46.900 They're trying to pay rent.

00:06:49.680 Okay.

00:06:50.240 But that's not what they're saying.

00:06:51.420 We're saying, don't spend a bunch of money on sushi.

00:06:54.160 Make yourself food at home.

00:06:56.080 So I was like, okay, she's dumb and she doesn't know what she's talking about. 0.96

00:07:04.020 Liz Warren has to jump in. 1.00

00:07:05.820 All the usual, all the usual nut jobs.

00:07:08.500 It's the most innocent, it's the most innocent thing the bank could say, which is save your money.

00:07:14.500 Don't spend it on lattes and sushi.

00:07:17.840 I like that.

00:07:18.460 Save that money.

00:07:19.060 Right.

00:07:19.300 But she goes in on the bank and says that people are saving it for rent.

00:07:22.700 And by the way, if you save money for lattes, you'll also have more money for rent.

00:07:28.300 It could all go to rent.

00:07:29.660 But anyway, she's a cow. 1.00

00:07:31.000 I want to ask.

00:07:31.600 But we won't have victims.

00:07:32.960 And we got to have victims.

00:07:34.060 We got to have victims.

00:07:34.580 That's a foundational playbook of the Dems and the Libs.

00:07:38.560 I got to have a victim.

00:07:39.840 So if you see something like that, you have to flip it upside down and put the victims in a voting block, try to get them free stuff, and run to the vote.

00:07:48.080 Right.

00:07:48.580 But I hated her six years ago after this.

00:07:52.000 You're old school.

00:07:52.940 You're an early adopter on the hate train.

00:07:54.400 And the yelling at the assistant part made me like her a little bit more.

00:07:58.200 But I'm still angry over this.

00:08:00.300 I have a question for Governor Carolla.

00:08:02.840 I don't know if you announced it yet, but I think PBD is going to push for you because they do need some advocacy out there.

00:08:07.580 My question is this.

00:08:09.000 Why should people care about California?

00:08:11.900 Hear me out.

00:08:13.120 You guys are all California guys, born and raised.

00:08:15.040 You've lived there your whole life.

00:08:16.120 I'm a Miami guy.

00:08:17.340 You know how they say like 80% of people don't care about your problems, 20%?

00:08:20.940 Glad you have them.

00:08:22.000 I don't know where I'm at in California, but I'm certainly – I really don't care.

00:08:25.780 Yeah.

00:08:26.100 And I know we're talking – we talk about Newsom all the time.

00:08:28.340 We talk about Katie Porter now.

00:08:30.020 She's sort of the villain, the heel on Fox News. 1.00

00:08:32.400 In my opinion, you know, Katie Potatoes, she's a train wreck, so they're just going to highlight that. 0.83

00:08:36.440 California's sinking.

00:08:37.680 Doesn't affect me at all.

00:08:39.240 You know, they're moving everywhere.

00:08:40.380 They say, don't California, my Texas.

00:08:42.980 Right.

00:08:43.240 I was in Miami this weekend.

00:08:44.280 I was at this amazing, ridiculous house on the Venetian, like just mansion.

00:08:48.720 I was like, oh, like these guys were all Silicon Valley guys that moved here.

00:08:53.180 Yeah.

00:08:53.340 And I'm like, why'd you move it?

00:08:54.940 They're like, dude, we're done with that state.

00:08:57.300 Let's be optimistic, like Pat tries to do, Future Looks Bright.

00:09:00.240 How do you get out of this mess?

00:09:01.460 I know that the kid is in the, you know, basement doing whatever the syringe is.

00:09:04.900 How do you turn the tide here?

00:09:06.040 Because it seems to me that you guys won't change it, and the rest of the country really doesn't care about you guys.

00:09:11.780 Yeah.

00:09:11.960 Stay woke.

00:09:12.560 Stay broke.

00:09:13.140 Good luck.

00:09:13.880 How do you fix this?

00:09:14.640 Well, first off, you said California was sinking, because we need to put those caissons deeper into bedrock.

00:09:22.140 They're only 40 feet into bedrock.

00:09:24.080 We ought to go 50 feet into bedrock.

00:09:26.380 All right.

00:09:27.020 I was saying the other day, and, you know, you can tell me if you like this analogy or not.

00:09:32.560 California is like an old Ferrari that has completely fallen into disrepair, and it needs a restoration.

00:09:42.240 But it's still a classic Ferrari.

00:09:43.640 Like, it's got the bones.

00:09:45.620 It's got the lines.

00:09:46.680 You know what I mean?

00:09:47.260 If you have an old Pinto or an old Chevy Vega, and it's rusting out, someone says, junk it.

00:09:54.540 But if you have an old Ferrari Dino or Daytona, someone goes, put 500 grand into it.

00:10:00.680 You know, don't junk it, because it was once something.

00:10:05.100 And California has the topography and the bones to be something, because it once was something.

00:10:11.980 So there is an element of wanting to just walk away from it.

00:10:16.600 But on the other hand, you wouldn't walk away from a classic Ferrari.

00:10:21.160 You would invest.

00:10:22.400 But now, who's going to rebuild it?

00:10:24.720 Because no one is rebuilding it.

00:10:26.380 It's just sitting out in the yard and getting rustier and falling apart every day.

00:10:31.680 You know, every year that goes by, it costs another 20 grand to restore that Ferrari, because it's getting worse and getting worse.

00:10:39.400 And now there's raccoons living in the trunk, right?

00:10:42.900 So, oh, that's true.

00:10:45.060 The point is, it's worth saving.

00:10:48.780 Where's the will?

00:10:49.780 Where's the shop that can restore it?

00:10:52.000 And then who's got the will to restore it?

00:10:53.480 Because I agree with you on the Ferrari thing, or I know you're a Porsche guy.

00:10:57.340 But how do you actually save it?

00:10:59.480 There's homelessness.

00:11:00.220 There's crime.

00:11:00.840 It's everything.

00:11:01.320 The regulation, everything you talked about.

00:11:03.220 What are the solutions?

00:11:04.220 I think that the most ardent leftists and the most progressive and the most whoever from San Francisco or Los Angeles,

00:11:14.660 eventually, when enough homeless people pile up in front of their bay window and their car gets broken into enough and enough stuff burns down,

00:11:24.880 eventually, even they hit their saturation point.

00:11:28.340 And they're not going to say it out loud, but they are going to start voting differently.

00:11:33.120 And then how long is that going to take?

00:11:35.360 Because it seems like this is not...

00:11:36.360 200 years.

00:11:36.800 Okay, a couple hundred years.

00:11:38.080 Well, good luck out there, California.

00:11:39.340 So, to you is, even if it's like this till the day you die and it doesn't change, you ain't leaving the state.

00:11:43.980 No, I am.

00:11:44.740 I'm leaving.

00:11:45.700 Are you really?

00:11:46.420 Yeah.

00:11:46.880 Where?

00:11:47.480 Moving in here.

00:11:48.520 Hell yeah.

00:11:49.400 Well, look, we got plenty of room.

00:11:51.200 You didn't see the cot when you came in?

00:11:54.000 Hey, don't you California my flora, boy.

00:11:57.100 Don't you leave that woke stuff in California.

00:11:59.380 Every time we do the Vol Conference, if you've attended, you know this.

00:12:02.200 I stand up and I speak for probably 45 hours, is what I do, at the Vol Conference.

00:12:08.120 And I love it.

00:12:08.800 I love being around the guys.

00:12:09.820 I love it.

00:12:10.560 But I wear the Ferragamo shoes when I do this.

00:12:13.880 Or I wear some kind of dress shoes.

00:12:16.560 Eventually, for the last 25 years, I've always been on stage walking.

00:12:19.820 I'm like, you know what?

00:12:20.480 I'm sick and tired of it.

00:12:21.660 I want a shoe that I'm comfortable wearing.

00:12:24.400 And here's what I love.

00:12:25.660 I don't like shoes that are so heavy.

00:12:27.580 That's a dumbbell.

00:12:28.180 You can use it as a weapon.

00:12:29.460 I don't want that.

00:12:30.040 Like the Xenia, you carry it, I have so many of them, but they're so heavy.

00:12:33.100 Like you can literally curl the Xenia down, you know, the shoes, and you'll get a pump

00:12:36.680 within 30 reps.

00:12:37.760 And I wanted the combination of the Hoka, the On Cloud, the Super Foam, because there's

00:12:43.100 a big thing going on right now with the Super Foam where the bottom of the shoe, you wear

00:12:47.100 it.

00:12:47.260 You know which ones I'm talking about, the On Cloud or the Hokas, right? 1.00

00:12:49.420 They're so comfortable.

00:12:50.040 And I said, what if we take luxury and then combine it with the Super Comfort, what would

00:12:56.180 that look like?

00:12:57.200 And let's build it in Italy.

00:12:58.680 So what do we do?

00:12:59.500 We went to Italy.

00:13:00.900 We designed the shoe in Florida.

00:13:02.520 We made the shoe in Italy in five of the factories.

00:13:06.100 We went back in Fort God knows how many times.

00:13:08.200 And by the way, the shoes we're about to launch and introduce to you right now, where you're

00:13:11.680 going to see the video for the first time.

00:13:13.360 I've been wearing those shoes for the last 22 days straight.

00:13:16.940 I'm wearing them right now.

00:13:17.800 I literally wear it with suits.

00:13:19.660 I wore it yesterday when we went to lunch.

00:13:21.540 I wear it every single day.

00:13:23.000 It's the most comfortable shoes I have, yet it's authentic Italian leather wrap.

00:13:27.780 If you don't mind playing the video, go for it.

00:13:29.980 Here's the video of the latest shoe, the FLBs.

00:13:32.740 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice

00:13:39.300 to make it fair.

00:13:40.540 We had the choice to make it cheap.

00:13:42.780 We chose neither.

00:13:44.340 Instead, we chose Toscanero.

00:13:45.940 We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.

00:13:52.100 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality

00:13:57.600 at every step.

00:13:59.500 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.

00:14:03.260 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.

00:14:07.480 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.

00:14:11.780 There you go.

00:14:17.140 Designed in Florida, 100% made in Italy.

00:14:19.960 50 hands touched each shoe that was made.

00:14:22.920 And here's what's unique about it.

00:14:24.120 I want to kind of show this to everybody that knows this.

00:14:26.560 And I've worn pretty much every one of these shoes.

00:14:28.540 So if you compare this, the Italian leather, of course, it's made in Italy.

00:14:33.100 It's not assembled, made in China, assembled in Italy, 100% made in Italy, assembled in Italy.

00:14:38.460 It's FLBs, Berlutis, which are 1840, Fergamos are 895, Zennias are 1190, and Gucci's are 950.

00:14:45.820 Leather premium lining, all of them except for Gucci.

00:14:49.120 Laceless feature, it's the FLBs, the Berlutis, you have laces.

00:14:53.240 Fergamos, laceless.

00:14:54.780 And then you have also the Zennias, and then the Gucci's have the laces.

00:14:57.380 I don't want to wake up in the morning, put laces on.

00:14:58.960 I want to get out the house.

00:14:59.640 It took me three seconds to put my shoes on today.

00:15:02.520 Craftsman, five different Italian factories all made this shoe.

00:15:06.480 Berlutis are the same as us, as well as FLB.

00:15:08.860 But the only shoe, these trainers, the only one in the world today,

00:15:12.680 according to the factories that told me this in Italy, that has the Super Foam,

00:15:16.980 the only one that has the same Super Foam used in the On Clouds and the Hocas,

00:15:22.200 it's the FLBs, and they're officially out, and you can place the order.

00:15:25.800 Here's a challenge.

00:15:26.760 We only have 1,000 of these pairs.

00:15:29.640 And when you say 1,000 of these pairs, they start from size, I believe, is it 8?

00:15:34.160 It goes 8, 9, 10, 10 1⁄2, 11, 11 1⁄2, 12, 13.

00:15:39.020 Those are the sizes that we have.

00:15:40.780 And the shoes that you can get today, the colors, you have access to, Rob,

00:15:44.440 if you can go back there, you can have access to those browns,

00:15:46.800 which is absolutely beautiful.

00:15:48.620 And by the way, the brown on the bottom, the stitching on the side is a left stitching.

00:15:52.260 If you can change the picture, and on the bottom, it says the future looks bright.

00:15:56.760 Look at the white lines on the side.

00:16:00.060 It's beautiful.

00:16:00.900 The only ones we have right now that you can get sent out today are the black and the browns.

00:16:05.940 If you do want the white to preorder, I would highly recommend you do so.

00:16:10.280 They're going to come out the second week of December.

00:16:11.920 So the white and the navy blue comes out the second week of December.

00:16:15.340 The browns and the blacks are available.

00:16:18.080 If you believe the future looks bright as much as we do, go place the order.

00:16:22.120 There's nothing like sitting in the boardroom with your trainers,

00:16:25.160 and you put your feet over your knee, and people look at the bottom of your shoe,

00:16:28.400 and it says the future looks bright.

00:16:29.640 That's how you get deals done.

00:16:30.720 All right, so they're out.

00:16:31.660 I'm excited to announce it, and I'm very happy for people to go sport it.

00:16:35.320 When you get them, take pictures, send it our way.

00:16:37.560 We're going to show all these shoes, all the pictures that are being taken.

00:16:39.800 I already got a bunch of them sent to me on Instagram.

00:16:41.400 Go to vtmerch.com, place your order.
