Journalist Megyn Kelly discussed the cultural momentum of The Daily Wire while showing off the trailer for &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dailywire-announces-adult-animated-comedy-series-mr-birchum-created-by-adam-carolla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Birchum</a>,&#8221; DailyWire+&#8217;s first animated scripted series, which features Kelly&#8217;s voiceover work as a character named Wendi.
&#8220;Mr. Birchum&#8221; is the brainchild of comedian and actor Adam Carolla. The series follows Carolla’s classic character, Mr. Birchum, a no-nonsense junior high woodshop teacher who&#8217;s trying to navigate a world he doesn’t understand or approve of.
&#8220;It was so fun,&#8221; Kelly said. &#8220;My character is Wendi, she&#8217;s married to Adam Carolla (Mr. Birchum), and she&#8217;s like &#8212; she&#8217;s definitely a Lefty, unlike yours truly. And one of her best friends is Candace Owens&#8217; character, and so she and I have some scenes together.&#8221;
&#8220;The whole thing is so fun,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I really just did this because Adam asked me to, and I love Adam. I was like, this is not my thing &#8212; I&#8217;m usually pretty good at knowing what my &#8216;thing&#8217; is. And they were like, &#8216;just try it, just try it!&#8217; It was so fun. I cracked up, I was crying when I saw the script.&#8221;
Kelly said the actor Kyle Dunnigan, who plays the character of Eddie, &#8220;is one of the funniest people I&#8217;ve ever heard &#8212; all these guys!&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s so much goodness for our side, the side of normalcy, the side that doesn&#8217;t get offended at everything,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s just refreshing to be a part of something like that.&#8221;
&#8220;And there&#8217;s such fertile ground for it, too,&#8221; said Stu Burguiere, host of BlazeTV&#8217;s &#8220;Stu Does America.&#8221; &#8220;You&#8217;ve got a great all-star cast, there.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Burguiere noted that the Left has abandoned mocking what&#8217;s so obviously mockable and commended The Daily Wire for including people who are so talented. &#8220;Adam Carolla is legitimately funny, I don&#8217;t care who you are. [And] he&#8217;s been successful before &#8216;woke&#8217; was a thing, he&#8217;s always been really funny.&#8221;
Kelly added that the show also includes comedian Roseanne Barr, who plays Principal Bortles. Burguiere describes Barr as a legendary comedian, adding, &#8220;It&#8217;s really cool that this is happening, and maybe this is the way that this stuff finally gets turned around.&#8221;
&#8220;Mr. Birchum,&#8221; which is set to be released in 2024, also features Alonzo Bodden (Gage), Brett Cooper (Jeanie), Danny Trejo (Switchblade), Patrick Warburton (Burly Man), Jay Mohr (Coach Murphy), and Rob Riggle (Gunderson).
“Adam Carolla created Birchum back before Barack Obama killed comedy,” said Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire. “Of course Hollywood wouldn’t make Birchum today because they’ve stopped making comedies altogether for fear of offending the ‘wrong’ people – so we realized we had to do it. We teamed up with Adam and some of the funniest people we know – Roseanne, Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, Tyler Fischer, and so many more – to bring back the irreverent patriarch in a truly hilarious comedy that doesn’t care who it offends.”

Mr. Birchum

U.S.

Just days after dropping a viral trailer for its first feature-length comedy, “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers">Lady Ballers</a>,” the Daily Wire announced its first animated scripted series, “Mr. Birchum,” created by comedian Adam Carolla.
The teaser trailer, which was first screened at the “Lady Ballers” red carpet premiere, will be released before the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers">premiere of “Lady Ballers”</a> on Friday, December 1, 2023, at 8 p.m. ET exclusively on DailyWire+. “Mr. Birchum” features an all-star voice cast: Adam Carolla (Mr. Birchum), Megyn Kelly (Wendi), Tyler Fischer (Karponzi), Alonzo Bodden (Gage), Brett Cooper (Jeanie), Candace Owens (Deena), Kyle Dunnigan (Eddie), Danny Trejo (Switchblade), Patrick Warburton (Burly Man), Jay Mohr (Coach Murphy), Rob Riggle (Gunderson), and Roseanne Barr (Principal Bortles).
“I am super excited to be working with my friends Ben Shapiro, Jeremy Boreing, and our terrific cast of talent to bring ‘Mr Birchum’ to life on the Daily Wire!” said Carolla.
“Adam Carolla created Birchum back before Barack Obama killed comedy,” said Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire. “Of course Hollywood wouldn’t make Birchum today because they’ve stopped making comedies altogether for fear of offending the ‘wrong’ people – so we realized we had to do it.  We teamed up with Adam and some of the funniest people we know – Roseanne, Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, Tyler Fischer and so many more – to bring back the irreverent patriarch in a truly hilarious comedy that doesn’t care who it offends.”
WATCH THE TEASER TRAILER FOR ‘MR. BIRCHUM’ BEFORE THE PREMIERE OF ‘LADY BALLERS’ TONIGHT AT 8 PM ET.  
The series follows Carolla’s classic character, a no-nonsense junior high woodshop teacher. Popularized on KROQ radio and brought to life in puppet form on Comedy Central’s ‘Crank Yankers,’ Mr. Birchum has entertained audiences for decades. In 2024, the animated version of Mr. Birchum attempts to navigate a world he doesn’t understand or approve of. He’s befuddled by his gaming streamer son, Eddie (Dunnigan), annoyed at his selfie-taking, snowflake students and is constantly at war with the school district’s appointed “J.E.D.I.” (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion officer) Mr. Karponzi (Fischer), whose feelings-over-facts style of administration is everything that’s wrong with education today. 
This is DailyWire+’s first animated comedy, produced by David Coleman for Daily Wire and Dallas Sonnier for Bonfire Legend, with Daily Wire’s co-founders Jeremy Boreing and Ben Shapiro and CEO Caleb Robinson executive producing. Chassy Media is the physical production Company for the show. Executive Producers for Chassy Media are Adam Carolla and Mike August along with Showrunner/Executive Producer Nate Adams and Supervising Producer Curtis Koller. Mike Lynch is the head writer for the show with additional episodes written by Byron Kavanagh and Mark Hoffmeier.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/candace-owens">Candace Owens</a> appeared on Adam Carolla’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rpO2gzEm1A&amp;t=2548s">podcast</a> to talk about how she made “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/convicting-a-murderer">Convicting a Murderer</a>” to seek out the truth rather than pursuing a single narrative by hiding facts like “Making a Murderer” did.
The 2015 Netflix <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/documentary">documentary</a> exploded in popularity as viewers became convinced that Steven Avery had been wrongly convicted for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. Owens said she originally doubted Avery’s guilt until she did some digging, which included her finding a ton of information that filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos left out.
Carolla said these types of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">projects</a> are often “cooked” in a way that’s more subversive because it’s not as obvious as straight-up fictional movies, which viewers usually know aren’t real. “You can shape a documentary any way you want,” Carolla said during the podcast episode which aired Monday. 
“I think that the common perception when you’re watching a documentary is that, ‘This is true.’ For some reason, we trust a documentary more,” Owens agreed. 
She also mentioned how documentary filmmakers are also trusted more as a rule. And it helped that Steven Avery was wrongly convicted of rape before he was convicted of murder, which automatically helped make him a sympathetic character. 
Owens called it a “perfect atmosphere” to cast doubt on the guilty conviction. 
Carolla and Owens also discussed how average viewers couldn’t understand how someone who had been wrongly imprisoned for 12 years would commit a crime so soon after being released. But both agreed that this line of thinking was trying to “rationalize the irrational.” 
They said criminals commit crimes even though it’s not logical. That’s what makes them criminals. 
Owens said the difference between her documentary and &#8220;MAM&#8221; is that it uncovers the “dark history” Avery had, including grotesque animal abuse and escalating crimes leading up to Halbach’s murder. The “CAM” creator said these types of “inconvenient facts” were left out of the Netflix series because they didn’t fit the narrative.
During their conversation, Carolla and Owens noted how two women made the documentary, which they agreed makes it more susceptible to ignoring facts in favor of emotion because women are naturally more emotion-driven.
“We obviously live under a matriarchy,” Owens insisted, which Carolla agreed to. She went on to say how the same feminists “screaming about the patriarchy” are actually the ones in charge and are driving the radical social movements so prevalent in modern society.

An independent bookstore in England has reacted to going viral after the shop&#8217;s window display showed copies of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/silence-is-betrayal-prince-harry-sits-down-with-60-minutes-ahead-of-memoir-release">Prince Harry&#8217;s</a> new tell-all memoir next to a novel called &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kill-Your-Family-Bella-Mackie/dp/0008365911">How To Kill Your Family</a>.&#8221;
The owner of Bert&#8217;s Books in Swindon, Alex Call, shared that staff thought the idea of showing the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-carolla-posts-bookstores-window-display-that-torches-prince-harrys-new-book">Duke of Sussex&#8217;s</a> book &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Spare-Prince-Harry-Duke-Sussex/dp/0593593804/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_w=aOKmf&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.f05f10a7-d30f-4cc9-9521-a1dfe37686ab&amp;pf_rd_p=f05f10a7-d30f-4cc9-9521-a1dfe37686ab&amp;pf_rd_r=HY87QR33WKSQXD4JHQ4V&amp;pd_rd_wg=nYPOF&amp;pd_rd_r=bbf9c86b-1329-410f-a50a-32c8944f2384&amp;ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mi">Spare</a>&#8221; next to Bella Mackie&#8217;s publication would be &#8220;quite light-hearted and make a few people smile,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-wiltshire-64227200">BBC</a> reported. Mackie&#8217;s fictional book is about a girl who decides to enact revenge on her entire family and kill every one of them.
&#8220;It&#8217;s been interesting today how people have projected some very different meanings onto this picture,&#8221; a <a href="https://twitter.com/bertsbooks/status/1612843834668367874?s=20&amp;t=LTd3UV8gJcQ6nF7KgfipNw">tweet</a> from Bert&#8217;s Book&#8217;s read.
&#8220;Some have thought I&#8217;m supporting Harry, others think I&#8217;m doing the opposite,&#8221; it added. &#8220;I don&#8217;t really have strong opinions either way, tbh.&#8221;

One person who works in the shop, Michael Ritchie, said despite the book being in all the headlines, its high price (more than $34 U.S. dollars) would discourage people from buying it, the outlet noted.
&#8220;The price is £28 which I think is quite steep for a book,&#8221; Ritchie shared. &#8220;People will go &#8216;actually I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m going to pay for that or (I&#8217;ll) wait for the paperback.'&#8221;
He also told the outlet he predicts the book&#8217;s sales would &#8220;last for a week or two and then just fade.&#8221;
The comments from the shop come after people like Piers Morgan and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/adam-carolla">Adam Carolla</a> praised the bookstore&#8217;s display and shared it on social media.
&#8220;This bookstore clerk has a great sense of humor,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-carolla-hits-back-over-article-claiming-he-falsely-suggested-its-the-old-or-sick-or-both-dying-of-covid">Carolla</a> tweeted to his hundreds of thousands of followers.

Comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/adam-carolla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Carolla</a> posted a photo of a bookstore display that torched Prince Harry over the release of his new tell-all memoir, titled “Spare.”
The 58-year-old actor and podcaster shared the photo of a window display created by a bookstore clerk that made clear the person wasn&#8217;t a fan of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-harry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Duke of Sussex&#8217;s</a> new book.

Mackie&#8217;s book is a fiction-thriller described by one critic as &#8220;funny, sharp, dark, and twisted.&#8221;
&#8220;When Grace Bernard discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother&#8217;s pleas for help, she vows revenge, and sets about to kill every member of his family,&#8221; a description from GoodReads <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50224049-how-to-kill-your-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a> about Mackie&#8217;s book.
&#8220;Readers have a front row seat as Grace picks off the family one by one – and the result is as and gruesome as it is entertaining in this wickedly dark romp about class, family, love… and murder,&#8221; it adds.
At the time of this publication, the tweet has been viewed nearly 200,000 times and counting.
Reading through the comments underneath Carolla&#8217;s post, the view from the majority of his followers was that the photo was &#8220;hilarious&#8221; and &#8220;amazing.&#8221; One person described the tweet, calling Harry &#8220;a traitor to his family.&#8221;

In Carolla&#8217;s original tweet, he <a href="https://twitter.com/adamcarolla/status/1300661191736356865?s=61&amp;t=acejImCzV1UtDtgFc0KmqA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, &#8220;Turns out the people dying from covid are old or sick or both. How many of you p****s got played ? and[sic] who&#8217;s going to get played the next time?&#8221;
In the first paragraph of Newsweek&#8217;s article, the author wrote that Carolla &#8220;was blasted on Twitter after falsely suggesting only the &#8216;old or sick&#8217; die from COVID-19, while insulting those who &#8216;got played&#8217; by believing medical experts.&#8221;
Several paragraphs down in the same article, a sentence noted that &#8220;the sick and elderly are more susceptible to serious complications or death due to COVID-19,” but added that&#8217;s not the only group &#8220;the virus kills.&#8221;
In November, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/11/28/covid-who-is-dying/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a> published a headline that read, &#8220;Covid becomes plague of elderly, reviving debate over &#8216;acceptable loss.’”
The piece noted that “nearly 9 in 10 covid deaths are in people 65 or older — the highest rate ever,&#8221; according the Post&#8217;s analysis of <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/data-review/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CDC data</a>. The Post&#8217;s analysis also found that &#8220;more than 300 people are still dying each day on average from covid-19, most of them 65 or older.&#8221;
Carolla has been very outspoken during the pandemic, noting things like the hypocrisy of politicians such as <a href="https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2020/11/13/newsom-faces-backlash-after-attending-french-laundry-dinner-party-1336419" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California Governor Gavin Newsom</a> discouraging families from getting together in November 2020 while himself going out to a fancy dinner with friends, and calling out President Joe Biden and CNN anchors who he said scared everyone with each new COVID variant, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/patrick-warburton-hilariously-talks-taking-broom-to-gavin-newsom-pinata-as-adam-carolla-crushes-kaepernick-on-latest-truth-yeller" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.

Adam Carolla Hits Back Over Article Claiming He ‘Falsely’ Suggested It’s The ‘Old Or Sick Or Both’ Dying Of COVID

comedian

Bernard Goldberg provided a valuable service to his country back in 2001 with “Bias.” 
The book’s subtitle said it all – “A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News.” Goldberg broke down how the press tilts the scales in favor of Democrats and progressive causes.
To say the problem got worse since then is to belabor the obvious. And while Goldberg continues to fact-check the news very few fellow journalists have joined his cause. Those who do take up Goldberg’s fight — Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, and Sharyl Attkisson rush to mind — get pummeled by their peers.
Enter Adam Carolla.
He’s not a journalist by trade. He’s a carpenter turned podcast sensation, a comic who follows the funny wherever it leads. And, lately, he sees plenty of funny business from the modern legacy media.
He’s turned his secondary podcast, “<a href="https://www.podcastone.com/Adam-and-Dr-Drew-Show">The Adam and Dr. Drew Show</a>,” into a one-stop shop for debunking media lies. He and his former “Loveline” partner, Dr. Drew Pinsky, break down the latest headlines and explain in terms everyone can grasp how the media has lost its way.
And he’ll use any other platform to make sure listeners know they’re not getting the truth from today’s press.
His <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enf5qzwLbPM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020 interview with Kirstie Alley,</a> the “Cheers” alum who now questions Hollywood’s progressive groupthink, found the podcaster taking a page from the Trump playbook.
The legacy media is often the enemy of the people, and he brought some receipts.
“I know really decent people and I see what the media tries to do to them, not trying to fact check them but take statements they made and turn them, intentionally, into a bad human. Not a human you disagree with but a bad human … I realize that it works on a large portion of our society and it poisons them….”
Carolla cited how press outlets twisted his friend Dennis Prager’s views into a pretzel in order to demonize the Salem radio talker. Defamed high schooler Nick Sandmann, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-nicholas-sandmann-nbc-news-reach-settlement-in-defamation-suit">dubbed a racist</a> by the press after video of him in Washington, D.C. went viral, is Exhibit B.
“They’re actually getting dangerous now because of the s*** they’re saying. They’re gonna get people killed.”
Carolla addressed the so-called “Big Lie” that President Trump actually beat Joe Biden at the ballot box in 2020, noting how the legacy media’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story sunk President Donald Trump’s re-election chances <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu47TyZXUZI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">during a chat with Dave Rubin.</a>
“It’s not that the election was rigged, per se, by the states or the vote counters or mail-in ballots. It was essentially rigged by CNN, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, most all legacy and mainstream media and then Big Tech, all the Googles and Twitter … If you think about just the Hunter Biden story as an example … forget it’s Hunter Biden and what the allegations are … there’s a story that’s a credible story and it would hurt one candidate. I don’t know if it’s three points or seven points … it would definitely be damaging to one of the candidates.”
And polling suggests <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/26/2020-election-outcome-would-differ-with-hunter-biden-laptop-coverage-poll/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carolla had a point</a>. He’s only grown bolder since then.
Last year, Carolla shredded media outlets for <a href="https://www.podcastone.com/episode/1464-Surprise-Surprise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over-hyping the Jan. 6 “insurrection.”</a>
“If you say, I saw a lot of the footage, I’ve seen a lot of the data, I’ve heard a lot of the stories of what went on January 6. That did not look like an organized attempt at an insurrection by a white supremacist group. It seemed like a bunch of people rioting who were rogue and untethered.”
The “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/adam-carolla-truth-yeller" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truth Yeller</a>” comic raged for weeks about one of the culture’s most notoriously Fake News stories — U.S. border agents whipped Haitian immigrants as they crossed into the U.S. from Mexico.
Except nothing of the kind happened. The picture that started the kerfuffle didn’t reflect actual events, something even the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/photographer-who-took-horseback-border-patrol-photos-ive-never-seen-them-whip-anyone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">photographer quickly admitted</a>. That didn’t stop the press or President Biden from clinging to the phony narrative.
A fair, honest press would have shredded that narrative in 24 hours and, later, excoriate officials like Biden for promoting it.
Neither happened, <a href="https://adamanddrdrewshow.com/1579-it-can-be-stupid-and-liar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leaving Carolla enraged</a>. And rightly so.
“When is this bulls*** [media bias] gonna end? When it’s gonna end is the two border patrol guys … they gotta f***ing sue CNN. That’s where it ends.”
Carolla delivered the rhetorical kill shot to the legacy media recently. He recalled an ‘80s era Biden scandal in which the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/vintage-biden-clip-resurfaces-law-school" target="_blank" rel="noopener">then-Senator aggressively lied about his academic record</a>. The media at the time may have leaned to the Left, but reporters often held both parties accountable.
TV networks called Biden out on his lies, and the future president meekly admitted to incorrectly remembering those details.
<a href="https://adamanddrdrewshow.com/1636-things-have-shifted-quite-a-bit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">That would never happen today</a>, Carolla said. And, if anyone has seen Biden’s recent press appearances where he spits out outrageous fibs about gasoline prices, inflation and more, sans fact checks, you know he’s right.
Carolla and Dr. Pinsky also played clips of CNN’s Jake Tapper lobbing deflated beach balls to President Biden over Hunter Biden’s scandals.
Tapper’s blistering follow-up question? “You’re about to turn 80 next month, Happy Birthday, ahead of time.”
Goldberg, despite his Herculean efforts to shame corrupt journalism, couldn’t stop the industry’s corruption from getting worse. Carolla tackles the subject from a different angle, making him a powerful force for journalistic integrity.
He’s not a talking head or political pundit. Nor is he trying to score points for one team or the other. He only leans right these days because the Left checked its sanity at the door.
Carolla’s ability to mine laughs from journalistic malpractice gives him another valuable weapon.
Carolla is doing the work that august platforms should be tackling. Think the Columbia Journalism Review, The Poynter Institute or news stations across the country. They all collectively stand down, letting a professional comedian do their jobs for them.

He’s Not Buying It: Adam Carolla Lays Siege To Dishonest, Far-Left Media Coverage

Leftists

Legacy Media

Media

Comedian Adam Carolla, who has made his career on speaking what he regards as the unvarnished truth, damn the consequences, spoke to veteran reporter John Stossel, doubling down on his mockery of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez while shrugging off the idea of capitulating to leftists demanding apologies.
“You said, ‘If AOC were fat and in her sixties, no one would listen to her,’” Stossel pointed out, referencing a comment Carolla made in February. Carolla had <a href="https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1489428207283568642?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1489428207283568642%7Ctwgr%5E55f8c5e193bbf2e8497bed14cff3ece020790c1d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsweek.com%2Falexandria-ocasio-cortez-aoc-adam-carolla-sean-hannity-whoopi-goldberg-1676150">told</a> Fox News’ Sean Hannity, “If AOC was fat and in her sixties, would anyone listen to another thing she ever said?”
“Well, that’s the truth. That’s 100% true,” Carolla replied.  “If she were in her sixties and husky, nobody would listen to a word she ever said, because she sounds like an idiot.”
Leftists had predictably gone ballistic over Carolla’s comment. “Majority Report’s” Emma Vigeland carped, “It’s very predatory and creepy,” while “Young Turks” host Cenk Uygur sniffed, “He projects his sexism onto others.”
“But what Carolla said is simply true,” <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/09/20/no-apologies-from-this-comic-to-aoc-or-anyone-else/">opined</a> veteran reporter John Stossel, who interviewed Carolla. “Nobody pays much attention to House freshmen. Ocasio-Cortez is a political celebrity simply because she’s pretty, and also, she speaks without constantly saying ‘uh.’”
“Apologizing just leads to more apologizing,” Carolla told Stossel. “They want you to apologize because they want dominion over you. And once you apologize, they just keep coming back.”
Asserting that he simply didn’t care what leftists thought, Carolla said, “I just happen to be wired not to care, as long as I’m right.”
Carolla spoke of his criticism of how the federal government originally handled COVID, saying, “They didn’t give the ages of the people who died at the very beginning. I immediately got suspicious because it was a bunch of 90-year-olds.”
He decried the refusal of those on the Left to have a civil conversation with their political opponents: “When you’re going to a bar, you want to sit next to a guy who’s a Steelers fan, if he’s a Steelers fan. That’s why they have Steelers bars and Patriots bars. But occasionally, and it’s part of your job, you have to invite somebody over from the Patriots bar and have a robust debate on who’s the better team.”
“I believe that they would let the other side speak if they thought they could beat them in a debate. They don’t,” he declared.
Carolla, who once told a crowd, “The only way these people are going to go away is if everyone just sort of collectively tells them to f*** off,” stated, “I think if you’re intellectually honest or I gave you two beers, you would agree with me. &#8230; I don’t really have a choice as to what I say. It has to be the truth all the time. I’m a comedian. It’s a sacred oath I took.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
“If <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AOC</a> were fat and in her 60s, no one would listen to her,” says <a href="https://twitter.com/adamcarolla?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamcarolla</a>.
Comments like that cause controversy.
But Corolla won’t apologize.
“Apologizing just leads to more apologizing,” he tells me. <a href="https://t.co/zIxNgqQWBY">pic.twitter.com/zIxNgqQWBY</a>

‘Apologizing Just Leads To More Apologizing’: Adam Carolla Defies The Left’s Bullying

Adam Carolla Defies The Left’s Bullying

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Comedian Adam Carolla is no fan of Cancel Culture, but the “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/adam-carolla-truth-yeller">Truth Yeller</a>” host does see an upside to its censorious streak.
“When the Nazis invade France, there’s going to be a French Underground. It wasn’t created pre-World War II. It was something that was necessary,” said Carolla, host of several popular podcasts including “The Adam Carolla Show.”
Cancel Culture is similarly spawning rebellious content, from Andrew Schulz’s successful stand-up special “Infamous” to fellow comics using podcasts and <a href="https://www.patreon.com/">Patreon accounts</a> to stave off what Elon Musk famously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/get-woke-go-broke-elon-musk-says-woke-mind-virus-makes-netflix-unwatchable-as-shares-plummet-20">dubbed</a> the “woke mind virus.”
In Schulz’s case, an unnamed platform tried to censor “Infamous,” but he bought the special back at considerable cost. In just days <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/andrew-schulz-infamous-special-investment-return/">he had tripled his investment</a>.
“[Andrew Schulz] was created by oppression, and so is The Daily Wire,” said Carolla, who built his own Cancel Culture-proof <a href="https://adamcarolla.com/">company</a> letting him create content on his own terms.
The woke mindset behind Cancel Culture still leaves its mark on the western world, something Carolla touches on in his latest book. The best-selling author translates his knack for side-splitting improv into “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WX9VK8Y/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0">Everything Reminds Me of Something: Advice, Answers … but No Apologies</a>.”
His sixth tome reads like his stand-up brand, “Adam Carolla is Unprepared,” in printed form. The book captures his ability to crack wise on the fly, cleverly categorized in chapters like “Don’t Be a Tool” (construction tips), “Auto Correct” (car talk) and “Pop Goes the Culture.”
Society takes comedians like Carolla seriously these days, often putting their careers in peril. Comics must think twice before tackling difficult subjects or groups considered off-limits by cultural scolds.
He said a subtle change in how we process humor made that possible, and it’s not a helpful evolution. Not long ago an “off-color” joke might offend someone. Now? Carolla said the same jokes are considered “impactful and dangerous.”
“We swapped out the word ‘offended’ for ‘affected,’” he said. “If your jokes offended somebody they needed to lighten up or not listen. If they’re ‘affected’ you need to change or be deplatformed.”
It’s about control, he said, and that’s a problem both for comedy and the culture at large.
“I don’t think we should ever, as a society, try to stifle or reign in the comedians. It’s like trying to tell an inventor what to think about,” he said. “You want them free to comment on things in our society.”
“Traditionally you don’t wanna tell the artist what to paint. Then they become a graphic designer doing logos rather than creating works,” he added.
“Everything Reminds Me of Something” finds Carolla lamenting what’s not being shared in the culture today, from sharp-elbow jokes to societal solutions that could “trigger” the easily offended.
It reads like he’s riffing on stage, signalizing his new book as a departure from past efforts.
Improv comedy comes naturally to Carolla, no matter the media. He credited a knack for thinking on his feet, along with studying his craft and getting enough “reps” under his belt on stages across the country.
Old-fashioned pressure helps, too.
“When you’re on stage you don’t get that luxury of saying, ‘eh, I got nothing,’” he cracked.
Carolla, along with his former “Loveline” radio co-host Dr. Drew Pinsky, have been pummeling mainstream media bias in recent weeks. Carolla suggested the legal system can help bring some accountability to the Fourth Estate. Consider how former Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-covington-catholic-student-nick-sandmann-gets-settlement-from-cnn-after-275-million-lawsuit">took major news outlets like CNN to court</a> after they defamed him over a January 2019 confrontation on the National Mall.
Carolla added the public should resist Fake News accounts whenever possible. Or, to use the Left’s parlance, it’s time for some resistance.
It’s a policy he used regarding what he saw as unnecessary mask mandates in the age of COVID. He said he constantly defied mask restrictions on flights, forcing airline personnel to insist he mask up over and again.
“I was told an average of 37 times on a two-hour flight [to put my mask back on], 18 times before we left,” he said. “That’s what everyone needs to do. It’s a metaphor for where we are right now&#8230;release your own stuff, push back. It’ll go away.”
Carolla’s new book reminds audiences of his strict policy when it comes to comedy. No apologies&#8230;ever.
That isn’t the case with his Hollywood peers, even the uber-rich and famous like Stephen King and Scarlett Johansson. Both A-listers got thwacked by the Cancel Culture mob and quickly apologized.
King backpedaled after saying <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stephen-king-goes-ultra-woke-after-sjws-scold-him-for-anti-diversity-comments-oscars-rigged-in-favor-of-the-white-folks">artistic quality should trump diversity</a>. Johansson quit a movie about a trans man when <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/johansson-surrenders-pulls-out-playing-transgender-ben-shapiro">far-Left voices insisted only a trans performer take the part</a>.
Carolla doesn’t mince words about those types of high-profile cases.
“They’re cowards. They don’t have the faith of their convictions,” he said, adding as rich and famous as they may be they’re still beholden to others. “They have parent companies, like Disney or Marvel, Pixar or publishing houses. There are so many examples of [people] being dropped or canceled. They don’t wanna risk that.”
“You’d think they have enough power and money but it’s about being invited to the next party&#8230;they still want the invite in the party at the Hamptons,” he said.

‘Release Your Own Stuff, Push Back’: Adam Carolla And The New Underground Resistance

Cancel Culture

The following is an excerpt from Adam Carolla’s new book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Everything-Reminds-Me-Something-Apologies/dp/1637582684/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3ACC1JD1N2RRE&amp;keywords=everything+reminds+me+of+something+adam+carolla&amp;qid=1658175758&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C55&amp;sr=8-1">Everything Reminds Me Of Something: Advice, Answers…But No Apologies</a> (Post Hill Press, July 2022). In his sixth book, the comedian, podcaster, and provocateur does what he does best &#8211; doles out advice and opinions with utter disregard for our politically correct, self-righteous, virtue signaling, woke times.
Q: How do I respond to all the intersectional identity politics at work? It’s not even about being treated equally anymore—if you are in the “wrong” demographic, then you have to admit you’re a racist and that you need to just shut up and let the others tell you what’s up. Except that it’s just too exhausting for them to have to explain it all to you. If you don’t innately get it (which you cannot do, by definition), it’s just more proof of your hopeless racism. This stuff is crazy and absolutely scary. If I didn’t have a wife and daughter to support, I would be less risk-averse about this. ~Bobby, 53, Metairie, Louisiana
I’d say start your own business. As your own boss, you’re not going to force yourself to do antiracism training. It’s weird that identity politics has crept its way into the workplace. This nonsense was formerly relegated to liberal arts colleges. Now it’s gotten into corporate America. Like a virus from a Wuhan lab, it has escaped and mutated and now has variants. We should have locked down the colleges to stop the spread.
Here’s my take on all of this, and it’s less about race and more about employment practices. So much race discussion happening at work means not a lot of work is going on. Guys who work on deep-sea oil rigs aren’t talking about “white fragility.” I worked in carpet cleaning. I didn’t know people’s last names, never mind who they voted for. I couldn’t talk to my coworkers, because the steam cleaner was so loud I couldn’t hear myself talk. Guys work-ing in factories and at logging camps don’t give a f*** about race discussions. They’re trying to avoid getting killed by the machinery they’re operating. They don’t have time to care about the race of the person next to them; they care only about whether that guy secured the safety line so they don’t get crushed.
It’s corporate America’s fault for calling the chick making eight dollars an hour stirring the beans at Taco Bell a “team member.” It implies she has a say. I was a goomper who worked my way up to being a glorified goomper. “Hey, idiot” was how I was greeted most days on the construction site. Now everyone is a “valued associate,” “partner,” or “colleague.” Language like that levels the field and implies an opening for a conversation about your pronouns and gender identity, or about race and microaggressions.
If inmates in a maximum-security prison were referred to as team members, and the warden talked about striving to create an inclusive place where everyone’s voice would be heard, a day wouldn’t go by without a guard being taken hostage.
Worker euphemisms hit peak absurdity last year for me when I noticed a sign outside a Jimmy John’s sub joint.
<div class="image"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-412110" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Jimmy-Johns-Rock-Star.png" alt="" width="198" height="254" /></div>
No wonder the Great Resignation is happening. Jimmy John’s is hiring rock stars. Who’d work as a bank teller and be a “team member” when they can go across the street to Jimmy John’s and be a rock star? As far as euphemisms go, this even beats Disneyland’s calling the failed musical theater student in the Pluto costume a cast member. Obviously, Jimmy John’s workers are not literally rock stars. Slash and Dave Grohl aren’t slinging the composite-meat products behind the counter. They’re shredding on their guitars, not shredding iceberg lettuce. But even figuratively, “rock star” doesn’t apply. People in sales or advertising are called rock stars when they close a big account or do something else that’s outstanding. How can someone stand out when they’re assembling sandwiches and will soon be replaced by a robot? It’s all part of the failure of the self-esteem movement. You can’t give someone self-esteem. It has to be earned. We can change the language, but it doesn’t change the job. Calling someone a rock star doesn’t make them one. We can rename herpes “happies,” but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a sexually transmitted disease.
But I think it’s too late. This sh** with race discussions and ridiculous euphemisms for workers is just going to continue. Workplaces will continue to become wokeplaces, and intersectional identity politics will become part of corporate culture. But on the bright side, like those OSHA-mandated signs in the break-room advising workers of their rights and the safety mandates of the building, they’ll become like wallpaper that you don’t even notice. Though I do look forward to seeing a sign next to the one that reads “115 Days without an Accident” declaring “28 Days Since Last Misgendering.”

CAROLLA: Ridiculous Euphemisms Turn Workplaces Into Wokeplaces

excerpt

Identity Politics

Comedian Adam Carolla of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/adam-carolla-truth-yeller">The Daily Wire&#8217;s &#8220;Truth Yeller&#8221;</a> called out California Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D) recent hypocritical actions on Wednesday.
Appearing on Fox News’ “Hannity,” Carolla <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/adam-carolla-gavin-newsoms-latest-hypocrisy">said</a> he lives “under Gavin Newsom’s thumb.”
Referencing Newsom’s recent trip to Montana — a state that is under a travel ban for state travel in California, Carolla said, “…let’s just really distill this down. Alright. There’s a travel ban against Montana because Montana&#8217;s evil because of their stances on LGBT, whatever.&#8221;
“They’re probably not handing out free sexual assignment reassignment surgery to all inmates or something insane,” he said. “But either way, let’s just break it down. Montana is an evil place because of the way they treat the gay and lesbian community. Fine. Then who cares who’s paying for your travel, Gavin?”
“Why would you go to an evil place? Why are you trying to be evil on a technicality? You’re the one who said &#8230; this is a bad place, this is bad policy, so don’t go fly-fishing then. Don’t go there,” Carolla said.
“I mean, it&#8217;s the same with the French Laundry, it was the same with the SoFi stadium where he’s taking pictures with Magic Johnson with his mask in his hand. He doesn’t believe it, he’s a carpetbagger, he’s full of crap. He doesn’t believe anything he’s saying,” Carolla added.
&#8220;He doesn’t believe COVID&#8217;s dangerous, or he wouldn’t be out with 31 of his closest friends drinking 40 grand worth of wine, and he wouldn&#8217;t be standing around SoFi stadium with no mask on if he believed it. He doesn’t believe it, he doesn’t believe Montana, he doesn’t believe anything he says, and I don’t believe anything he says, either,” he said.
After discussing Newsom’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/newsom-buys-ad-space-in-florida-desantis-campaign-responds">recent ad purchase</a> in Florida, Carolla said, “no one is leaving Florida and going to California. … people are voting with their feet.”
As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/newsom-vacations-in-state-ca-banned-from-state-funded-travel-hasnt-said-who-paid-for-his-security">reported</a>, Newsom was visiting family in Montana, according to <a href="https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2022/07/gavin-newsom-montana/">Cal Matters</a>. Montana is one of at least 20 states prohibited from travel funded and sponsored by the state, per <a href="https://oag.ca.gov/ab1887">California Assembly Bill 1887</a>.
Anthony York, Newsom’s senior advisor for communications, told Cal Matters, “We don’t comment or provide details on the governor’s security.”
“We don’t legislate where people vacation,” York added. “Never have. The travel ban applies to expending state funds. The Governor’s travel is not being paid for by the state.”
