Even Press Shocked by How Dumb Dem Mayor Really Is - Adam Carolla & Dave Rubin's Reaction Is Perfect

0:00I've tried a lot of seafood over the years, guys, and truly it's been hit or miss. You know, sometimes it looks great, but then you cook it and it just doesn't have that flavor or freshness you expect. So finding something reliable has made a huge difference. Wild Alaskan Company really changed that for me. It's the best way to receive high-quality, wild-caught seafood delivered right to your door on your schedule. The first box I got was super easy to use. Everything comes individually portioned and vacuum sealed, so there's no guesswork. I cooked that wild Alaskan sockeye salmon just in a pan with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and it turned out fantastic.

0:34Clean flavor, great texture, and didn't feel like frozen fish at all. I've also tried the wild Pacific cod, which I love. It's light and flaky and really easy to work in when you need a quick dinner. What stood out is that the fish is quick frozen right after it's caught in Alaska, so it locks in that freshness along with the nutrients like omega-3s. And it's clean, no GMOs, no antibiotics, no additives. And it supports sustainable fishing and Alaskan fishermen. They're so confident in the quality that there's 100 % satisfaction, money-back guarantee, so there's no risk in trying it.

1:46So here's my appearance with my good buddy Adam Carolla on his show. And you can also see Adam Carolla joining me, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Ben Shapiro, and Jillian Michaels in Miami on June 11th at the Fillmore. DaveRubin.com slash events. And tune in to Gutfeld! The number one show on cable news tomorrow night. Yours truly will be on. And thanks for tuning in. Thanks for tuning in. Tune in. Tell the friend. Tune in. Dave Rubin is in the studio. Good to see you, my friend. Adam, it is good to see you. I'm very happy to be here in a secure studio with you amongst your security guards and armed people because I've spent the last 24 hours in your fair city.

2:27Lordy, lordy, you know what I'm going to say. Something is rotten in stink town here and it's the urine and the poop and everything else. This place is going to high health. The thing that's funny is Karen Bass is running on stay the course, which is the weirdest argument ever. She should be running on I had a brain aneurysm, but now I'm better. Or I found Jesus Christ two weeks ago. But anything but stay the course, which is an insane angle to run on. If you live in this city and you are thinking that everything is fine and you're going to elect or reelect the lady who got – well, it's not that – you can't even blame her for this because it was Garcia or Garcetti before her.

3:14And it's just – it's been going on for a long time. Antonio Villarroca. But I got to tell you, like, in a weird way, I don't even mean this jokingly. You know my feelings about Florida and Cali and Flea and this place and everything else. It was worse. I mean it's worse in the 24 hours that I've been here than I – I haven't been here in about a year. 24 hours in West Hollywood. Well, yeah. It's bad. Well, look. And Hollywood, obviously. I believe you because if you want to figure out if someone has gained weight, don't see them for a year. If you see them every day, they put on nine ounces a day and you don't notice it at all.

3:50Go away for a year. Come back. You go, dude, you got fat. In this case, they're losing weight and walking slowly with a hunch. So it's slightly different, but same theoretical point. Yeah. So it's now, Andrew, we already broke down that commercial on this show, though, right? So but yeah, it was a funny stay the course commercial from. Well, you know what it is, is they have this they have sort of two angles. They have the I'm just getting started, but I got more work. Right. You always have work to do. And it's basically. It's basically, you know, Dave's doing a world class remod of his bathroom.

4:28Wait till you see this. I'm going to show you some pictures. Well, I'm not leaving once I get in there. You were pretty impressed. You saw it mid and we did some stuff. But if you'd walked in in the middle, this is my I'm just getting started argument, which is sort of the Karen Bass. It's the Democrat argument in California and Los Angeles. But if you walked in in the middle of the tile setting and the guy was just doing a freakishly bad job setting the tiles and the margins were all up and everything was cattywampus and he wasn't using spacers. And then you went, hey, man, this doesn't look right.

5:04And he went, I'm just getting started. Like you'd go, no, stop. Whatever it is you're doing, stop. Not I'm just getting started. And that's their argument. I don't understand. I mean, I genuinely don't understand. Is it just that there's enough rich people living in the hills here just behind their gates at this point that they've just conceded every other piece of the city and they think that the hills will never burn down? Is that what you think the calculation is? It's kind of turning into Mexico City. Like it's just super rich people with guards and gates and walls and they live in luxury up here and then you guys live in squalor down there.

5:43The only people who seem to be working are the people at In-N-Out. They're working and they're happy. Yes. We went there yesterday. They're the only working, happy people there. My guy, Joey, who's with me, he'd never been to In-N-Out before. So we walk into In-N-Out. He's very excited for his first In-N-Out. I haven't had it in a year or two. I'm very excited. And I tell the guy behind the counter, big smile on his face, young Latino guy. He's happy. Welcome to In-N-Out. Animal style, the whole thing. And I said to him, hey, my buddy here has never had In-N-Out before. You think I could get the whole crew, you guys, to sing a song for him?

6:11And he's like, maybe. And he smiles and he starts walking away as if he was going to ask the whole crew to sing. Whatever they're doing in there. I was like, no, it's not necessary. But I was like, whatever you guys are doing. That's right. That is what you people have left here. In and out. And speaking of that, the only in and out franchise to ever move since 1949 moved out of Oakland, California. So whatever they're doing there in Oakland, they're doing wrong. Oh, reminds me of the greatest clip that we've all forgotten about. which was awesome. And I don't think people fully understand the implications or what things mean, which is sort of like what I'm saying is, is women, if you are going on a date with a guy and I've said this a million times, if a woman's says, you know, guy comes over to pick them up on their first date.

7:11And the woman says, oh, come in, come in, just wait here. Just let me finish putting on my lipstick. I'll be with you in a second. And she goes off into the bathroom. And her dog comes like sniffing around the guy to sort of say hi. And the guy like kicks him away. And the woman sees it in the mirror from the bathroom, what the guy did. It's over. And then people go, maybe he's got a great sense of humor. Maybe he's a very generous guy. Maybe he's a loving guy. Maybe he's a beautiful lover. one thing one thing one thing and we're done and it's like when I it's like if you drive around town and you see the guy that's got the dumpster for a car like just wrappers fast food garbage on the dash newspapers in the back that person's nuts and then someone will go well all you've seen is their car I go I don't need to see anything else than that and I know what the guy's apartment looks like.

8:11I know what he's like. I know what his hygiene is. I just need the one thing. And I don't think people do that enough with like the politicians. Like the mayor of Oakland, Libby Schaff or whatever her name was. This is going back some years. Maybe five, six years. She was the mayor of Oakland. This is before the A's left and before the Warriors left and before In-N-Out left. We decided, by the way, we signed our infinite wisdom. We could fix all this. We just had a bunch of women in charge and then we just fix every city with compassion. Well, because the future is female. The future is female.

8:51It does not matter if you're qualified. Right. So there was a story. Now you have to think about how this woman's brain works and then you would apply it to everything. But just like the guy with the trashed car, I would apply that to their life globally. This clip is from when, Andrew, she's given a presser because, and you may remember this story, Dave, 2023. Okay. A guy, a black man, who seemed a little crazy, but a black man set up a workout sort of jungle gym at the park. He hung rope hoops from the tree so he could pull himself and do chin-ups, and he made a system of hoops to hang. I can tell this is going to end well.

9:40Yeah, and he just used it in the park. He didn't seem like he had enough for an Equinox membership, but he got his kind of prison work out at the park in Oakland, which is fine. And then some white chick spotted the rope and, of course, had to say something to somebody. And then there was a big kerfuffle, sort of like every race hoax there is. Bubba Watson, this noose in the paddock to the racetrack or whatever. Wallace? Is it Bubba Wallace? Watson? Anyway, the point is Bubba. We'll do the Bubba math. So the point is they had to report it. Then they had to make a big deal out of it. And then the black dude who hung the rope went, I did that.

10:24I use it to work out. That's it. End of story. But they're like, no, we're not done calling. Remember, our theme is our society is horribly racist. So this is an opportunity. Is the implication that he was trying to lynch himself? Or he set it up. He was setting up his own lynching one day, I suppose. Well, she gives the presser. and she basically says, look, I'm going to get the DOJ involved. We're going to look at this as a hate crime. And then some woman in the audience goes, well, I think we already have context because that guy who came on before, the black guy said he did it. So what are we doing here?

11:10And she's like, doesn't matter what the context is. And then I thought, oh my God, that is chick think. That is insane chick think. But it's also you can't govern with that kind of thinking. That's Nithya Raman blaming Toyota for catalytic convert. Like, baby, your brain is broken. And we can't have you making decisions, anything critical because you've shown your inability to think. What have any of these people done that is good? That's the interesting thing. To me, if I was Spencer Pratt's doing a hell of a job, obviously, I have no idea. I mean, do you think there's any chance he can win just numbers wise?

11:46It probably doesn't happen, right? Like he seems to me, he's getting national coverage. That's great. And we all kind of love what's going on here. And those AI videos are amazing. I just don't know enough about the LA electorate anymore. And if there's enough sane people here anymore. But if I was him, I would just turn to her. He's doing a great job. But if I had one little piece of advice, it would turn to her and say, what are you good at? Yeah. Oh, well. She organizes communities. What would she say? I'm a people person. I'm a caring person. I'm a mother. I get communities, marginalized communities, and I bring them together and I give them a seat at the table so that we can all have justice and we can all have pride.

12:24And that's nice to hear. You know, that's nice. But that would be the point. Like, is anyone's life better? Is anything safer? Is anything cleaner? Are the schools better? Are the streets safer? Like you could go through the laundry list. Are businesses coming here? Which way are people going? And we all know they're going out. Right. You know, last night, you know me, I like to, when I come to town, I like to have dinner with all my old friends and do things. And I always ask people where they are and what's going on. I was literally last night, it's about four o 'clock. I'm like, what am I doing for dinner tonight?

12:56None of my friends are here anymore. Yeah, they've all cleared out. Everyone's gone. Yeah. Everyone's gone. You, Drew, Larry Elder, David Zucker. That's it. David Zucker. All right, so here it is. The audio is a little weird, but first off. I like this guy already. The black guy who put the rings up just gets done saying, I put the rings up. And now Libby, the mayor of Oakland, which is now destroyed. This is three years ago, has to give her rationale. With that, if you have any questions. Ma 'am. Ma 'am. Ma 'am. We've, on several lists, I know have been out to the park and interviewed a gentleman, an African American gentleman, who says this was absolutely, you know, you said intentions don't matter, but he said the intentions were strictly to create this rope system.

13:43He showed us another one that's still in the tree. He showed us videos of them using it in that manner. I mean, don't the intentions matter if it was just strictly meant to be a, so he said they've been up there for months. Listen, the intentions will matter with regard to whether or not this is prosecuted as a hate crime, but intentions don't matter. Hold on a second. Intentions don't matter. So if you made a loop on a piece of rope to pull a garage door down so that you could grip the rope better and pull the door down versus an old timey lynching, it's still the same thing, right? Adam, you know, I'm a simple man.

14:23And maybe I'm missing part of this. Who are they accusing of a crime here? If he said he set it up and what was the crime other than maybe he set up ropes without a permit? He put the ropes up, but his intentions don't matter because those ropes still could have been taken as offensive and a hate crime to others. And that's why I'm here to save those people who may have seen twine in a tree. You have to understand, I live in a functional place now. So a lot of this, it's hard to get through to my brain because it's, that's what's going on here. Right. I'm, you're, I'm diving right back into the mire and the muck.

15:00So you're telling me that that lady was accusing the man who set up the rope so he could work out of a, of a hate crime against himself. Yes. So it's, it's in honor of other people. Let me see if I can tell you this. By the way, here's where my brain works. I said, I think this thing's about six years old. And then he wrote 2023 and I was like, huh, that's so new. June, 2020, six years old. Okay. Anyway, so let me explain. I'll give you context in terms of the intentions don't matter. Let's just say your maid came in. Okay. And your maid was changing the pillowcase, the white pillowcase on your pillow.

15:44and just as she did, you opened the sliding glass door and a wind blew in and it landed on her head, giving her the appearance of a Klans person. This did happen once. Continue. That would still be a racial attack is what I'm saying because intentions don't matter. Yes, she was just trying to change the pillowcase, but she donned the hood. But in this case, that woman wanted him to go to jail for this? I don't know. Let's hear her out. Remember, she's a hero and she's going to save black people. OK, listen, the intentions will matter with regard to whether or not this is prosecuted as a hate crime.

16:23But intentions don't matter when it comes to terrorizing the public. These symbols are symbols of racial violence. And it's incumbent on all of us to have that sensitivity, to have that knowledge. And that is why I've directed our staff to remove any such symbol of hatred, regardless of the intention of what put it there. What a privilege for those of us that don't feel complete fear and terror when we see a rope in the tree. That is a privilege that so many of our advocates. All right, hold on. First off, this is weird cause play, weird chick. First off, all roads lead to narcissism, right? She's so much better.

17:09She's better because we don't understand the horror you see when you see a rope in a tree. So I guess if your great-great-great-grandmother was a witch and you walked past a well, I guess that would strike terror. You know, having walked through Hollywood today where it's just a zombie apocalypse of drug addicts and homeless people, If I had seen a couple of homeless people with some ropes climbing on trees or whatever, I would have thought it was refreshing. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like they're all hunched over because of the meth or whatever. So it's like, oh, yeah, you're hanging on a rope.

17:43That's the best way to straighten out your back, by the way. I just so she's really against health here more than anything else. The point is, is the poor black guy who hung up his workout rings, they sawed him down and threw him away. By the way, whatever that costs the taxpayers. So she's against this. I just got to hear. Did he go to jail? What happened to this guy? She's not going after the guy. She's going after racism in general, which is she's going to end. Did she jail racism? Let's see. I don't know. But intentions don't matter. They don't. When it comes to terrorizing the public. These symbols are symbols of racial violence.

18:23And it's incumbent on all of us to have that sensitivity, to have that knowledge. And that is why I've directed our staff to remove any such symbol of hatred, regardless of the intention of what put it there. What a privilege for those of us that don't feel complete fear and terror when we see a rope in a tree. That is a privilege that so many of our African-American residents do not enjoy. And this is a moment that we must be cognizant of that reality. We have got to stop terrorizing our black and brown citizens. And as white people, we have to become knowledgeable and educated about the impacts of our actions, whether they are well-intentioned or not.

19:14Hold on a second. I always wonder about who are the people in the press? You know, no one. First off, she should have been hit by a chair by now. and by the way I'm talking about by her own staff like we need to shut this bitch up but also can anyone raise your hand and go what the f*** are you talking about nobody knows what you're talking about this is a workout rope by the way gyms used to hang ropes and kids would climb up them was that a hate crime in junior high was that a hate crime we used to have that in elementary school and if you could get high enough you could put a little post-it note up there oh really Yeah, you'd usually put a racial comment up there.

19:53It was called a hate climb back then. Oh, that's good. That's good. That was good. I mean, this is, you know, my friend, I'm sure you know him, Gad Sad. Sure. You know Gad, right? You know, his book came out yesterday, Suicidal Empathy, which I'm sure is going to be the number one book of the year. I hope so. This is maybe the best example of that that I've ever seen. I'm going to send this to him after. This is incredible. And it's also an inability to think. And also it's an inability to hear yourself because you don't know what you sound like. But wait, I want to hear a little more of her. And then tell me what she went on to.

20:25By the way, these people always go on to nothing. And at some point, Harvard gives them a job. It's just got to be awesome. It is also against regulations to put anything in public trees, regardless of your intention. Hold on. By the way, Camp of Winnebago on the lawn of the public library and deal math. They don't have any problem with that. hang some rope for a workout at a park issue. However, that was the only sane thing she said. You do need maybe a permit to put the rope in the tree. I'll go with her on that, but you're right. These are the same people that if you cook meth next to the school, will tell you, oh, you should be a little closer to the school.

21:02Did she have any more? All right. I didn't say that there was malicious intent behind it. I said the symbolism of the rope hanging in the tree is malicious. By the way, hold on. So this is 2020, so we got a guy wearing a mask, except for it's to hide his double chin because his mouth and nose are fully exposed. So she's got no mask. Libby's got no mask. Then this doofus has a mask, but he pulls it down to talk. And now we're having a press conference about a rope in a tree that a black guy put there so he could do chin-ups. And this is why your f***ing city is broke, by the way. Right. All right, let's see if there's any more.

21:48Of the intent. Exactly what the mayor said. It's evil and it symbolizes hatred. And that's not what Oakland is and that's not what Oakland Parks is. It's evil. Yes, the Oakland Police Department has turned over the evidence to the FBI. We have to start with the assumption that these are hate crimes. We cannot hold on why why do you have to start the assumption the guy hung the rope just told he was there to do chin-ups They've turned it over to the FBI everybody But that's one thing that we have to know that hate is hate Oh my in my this is a black guy hung So hate is an energy that can be held not only by white people but by black people as well So for me, it really doesn't matter if it's a white person or a black person.

22:42I'm assuming that it's a white person, but we don't know that for sure. But I feel that just our city and where we are now in our history, we have to make sure that we send definitive messages out to everybody. He's got a mask around his chin, too. This is not the type of future that we want to promote. All right. You can look at it and see if there's any more in saying it. If she speaks again, I got to hear her. Adam, do you have Venmo? You owe me. I'm going to Venmo you$1 ,500 right now. I want you to get on a plane. First class. Come to Florida. It's enough of this. This is her and Kamala, by the way.

23:19Oh. Well, I will be in Florida with you and DeSantis. That's right. Ben Shapiro and Jillian Michaels. And we'll be at the Fillmore in Miami Beach. And that'll be June 11th. We're doing basically a live podcast there, right? I'm not even going to tell you what we're doing. We're just going to show up. They're going to make some announcements on the PA and we're going to throw you out there and see what happens. Yeah, we're going to do some stand up. We're going to do I'm going to write a live show that day. So we'll do a podcast thing. We'll do some giveaways. We got tequila for the people. We'll have a little sit down with DeSantis.

23:54Really, the whole idea of this was, you know, DeSantis is wrapping up the second term now. He's, you know, he's got just basically a couple of months left and he's done such an incredible job. I mean, literally, you know, my life completely changed because this guy made that state the archetype of freedom in the country. I wanted to celebrate that. The Fillmore. Have you done the Fillmore before? It's a freaking. I don't think so. Oh, Bill Maher did his last HBO special there. It's an awesome, awesome theater. And I just want it to be a celebration of Florida and freedom. And, you know, it's a little bit before our big 250th birthday on July 4th and all that good stuff.

24:27And just get some of my friends and have just, it's just going to be fun. We're going to have a dinner? Yeah, and I'm going to take you out to dinner with the Gov. And guess what, Adam? I'm going to split a potato with the richest guy at that table. You are not splitting a potato. No, that's it. Who has the highest net worth at that table? We'll probably get some primo people in there. All right, we're splitting a spud. It's at a very fancy steak place, and you are having your own potato. You know what? I'm going to seat you at a separate table just to make sure. With my own potato table? Yes, you are going to just, you take this guy out to dinner.

24:56Who did I split that potato with? David Sachs. The man is a billionaire. I split a potato with a billionaire. He's now our czar of cryptocurrency or whatever. Oh, that's right. But he was a major VC guy. It was before he took the job in the administration. I sit you guys down and Prager's there and Sage and was Larry Elder there and a few other people. Everyone, get whatever you want. Enjoy. It's on me. You turn to a billionaire. Will you split a potato with me? I just can't. I can't stop with this one. It's a good one. You know, Drew brought it up yesterday on his show that that happened because he was there too.

25:29And he said, you know, it perfectly explains Adam and it perfectly explains the mind of a billionaire. A billionaire gets to be a billionaire by doing some stuff like that, even if he's not paying for it. And Adam Carolla, you are a salt of the earth guy who doesn't want a potato to go to waste. At the steakhouse, the potatoes come in at like three pounds and a half will do it. And I'm not throwing that other half away. But I just love that you either didn't know who he was or didn't or just had never met before or whatever. And you just that the fact that it was the billionaire. I had a I knew who he was.

26:06But my feeling is half a potatoes, half a potato. At the end of the day. At the end of the day. Yeah. Here's the other thing that's been going on, which I'm interested in, which is a guy, a whistleblower just got in front of Congress. Well, not Congress because the Democrats don't show up, but half of them. And start talking about the COVID cover up, which is remembered a few years ago. Remember Libby Schaaf was complaining about racism and the notion of the origin of COVID. COVID would come up and some people would say it was from a wet market. And then someone would say it's from a lab. And then you'd be called a racist and shouted down and have every expert on CNN tell you why you were wrong.
