Starting point is 00:02:19 Check it out today, dailywireplus.com. ["The Daily Wire Plus Show"] Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew show. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on the chair. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Dr. Dresbord, first try, first, first, first, first, first responder. What's going on, Driskey? First responder, baby. A lot, I guess.
Starting point is 00:02:54 I was out last week. You had Mr. Garagos in here, which is interesting. How was that? Good. Yeah, that's always fun. Always fun to talk to Mark. It's funny, I have a discovery show I'm working on, and we're doing
Starting point is 00:03:05 this whole Chris Brown thing and there's Mark and a lot of the documentaries and things I've been looking at and it's just, he is so good at what he does, you know? It's just watching him defend things that are really difficult to defend and he doesn't, he doesn't excuse people, he just defends them. He just goes, yeah, you deserve a defense and we'll defend them. And there's a lot of chicken shit stuff out there that gets worse, that gets excused all the time. And it's an unfair system. But it begs the issue, somebody was asking, well, why did Chris Brown get off, blah, blah, blah?
Starting point is 00:03:40 Well, he had a good attorney. But you really get down to it, right? Isn't that what it is? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. It could be a combination of things, but it definitely starts with a good attorney. There's a lot of circumstance that's woven into things these days.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Oh, I see. If you're a unicorn or something, you get... But you think he would be opposite of that. No, no, what I'm saying is when it comes to the Menendez brothers, O.J. just got let off, and now it's time for the Menendez brothers to face trial, and L.A. and everyone is thinking we're not going to be embarrassed two times in a row here, right? But if O.JJ had been found guilty, then maybe the Menendee would have had a much better shot.
Starting point is 00:04:30 But that's sort of the weird thing about George Floyd or you know, whatever, whatever is in the zeitgeist. Well, that's right. But that's the weird thing about the jury system, isn't it? Well, let's just, let's just put it, let's just put it to you this way. If your son or my son was a cop that got called out to the whole George Floyd thing and showed up halfway into it and was holding the guy down with his knee and someone else was doing crowd control or whatever,
Starting point is 00:04:57 and then you found out that, like, look, the coroner kinda doctored the report and there's stuff that's not gonna be brought in evidence, but look, if your son is let off or just given manslaughter, they're gonna burn the town down. So, sorry, gotta take one for the team. That doesn't feel great from a legal standpoint, if you're on the losing end of, you know.
Starting point is 00:05:23 It's the opposite of how it's supposed to work, right? Well, right, I mean, I screamed a thousand times. What, you're having a trial where it's understood that if you make, if you exonerate this guy, you're gonna be doxed and possibly killed. Right. And, and, or the town is going to burn down and or by the way if you're in that jury and you own a hardware store like in the neighborhood and that guy's acquitted
Starting point is 00:05:54 that hardware store is going up. Yeah. All right do you want that? Or you just want to fucking throw this guy in for a while? So is that a problem? Yeah that's a big problem with the system. Well, is it a justice system problem or is it a social fabric problem?
Starting point is 00:06:09 It's a social fabric problem and a kind of, we've given it over to the mob, whether it was the whole sort of BLM stuff or Seattle's gonna, or Portland's gonna have a city called CHOP and they're just gonna take over the police department for six weeks, you know? And the campus of UCLA, they're gonna stand down. I mean, you know, it all, not at all,
Starting point is 00:06:36 but a lot of it started with, you know, when I interviewed Brett Weinstein, who was over on Evergreen campus, and he was being chased out of there by an angry mob running for his life, and it's like, where's the dean, where's the president, where are the cops, where are the police, where's the school police, where are the local police,
Starting point is 00:06:57 and oh, the dean didn't wanna agitate the agitators. He wanna upset the agitators by calling in uniform guys so you know Weinstein you're on your own. Too much. Well that's I mean am I exaggerating? No. What happened? That's the world we live in. Right it doesn't work. That's that's the problem or whatever it is it means the system breaks down right so Derek Chauvin You're just gonna do life in prison because the system is broken down and we don't want agitators to burn shit down There's basically where we're at and and and or Brett Weinstein Good luck getting back to your car, right? We just don't want to
Starting point is 00:07:42 We're not gonna bring anyone in here, right? So there you go I mean, that's where we're at and and by the way, it doesn't work It never works because the agitators are agitated and they want to agitate. That's not that they've a list of demands Are we know? Okay. All right, so Let's divest from Israel. Okay, are they done now? Are they done? No as any Are any of the movements done? Right. Hey, NAACP, we got a black president. We cool? We good? No? Oh, you guys are cranking it
Starting point is 00:08:14 up harder. Oh, why? Well, because we have to compensate for this. That's where we're at. Which is kind of interesting. This morning I was talking to a friend of mine and he asked a question that I couldn't answer. He said, you know, why, why did things shift after the whole hippie thing? You know, there was all this agitation in the sixties and then in the seventies, and then all of a sudden it just shifted.
Starting point is 00:08:37 It just, whoo. And I said, well, it shifted. What, what, what? To Reagan. It went Reagan-esque. Oh, the eighties hit us. And I saw some footage on Twitter where they were showing, you know, what was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was,
Starting point is 00:08:45 it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was a Family Matters with Michael J. Fox? Where he, yeah. I mean, he was this kid that was interested in business and Reagan, and he was like 12 years old or something, and his father couldn't understand it.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Right. Because the father was from the previous generation. So is it as simple as just a generational shift? Or do people get tired or burned out? Or does somebody have to step in? You know what I mean? Because it's it's look it's it's the musical shift that I always speak about it's you know Crosby stills and
Starting point is 00:09:33 Nash and Joni Baez and four dead and Ohio and all that shit and Eve of destruction Barry Maguire something Maguire Anyway, all this stuff right bummer bummer bummer bummer bummer music, right? Right, and you know Vietnam War all that crap Sorry all that creed and stuff about the war and something and all that and then you know Here comes disco right after that right after that to disco Well, but you're predicting and yeah well but you're predicting you know and yeah but you're predicting safe spaces and octagons this time a splintering well that's what this is that's that's well that but it went nationwide it wasn't the splintering of the nation but the
Starting point is 00:10:15 people that listen to crossby seals and nash never embraced disco they hated you know and then it goes from disco and then what's the opposite of disco? Well that's punk rock. That's the opposite, right? Disco is all about the outfits and the synthesizers and the whole bookie. But let me just tell you, we had the kind of new wave next, right? And that was not punk really. It kind of came out of punk. I think punk came next. Maybe. With, with, New Wave and punk are only, you know, a year and a half apart.
Starting point is 00:10:54 But punk came. I mean, the Sex Pistols came before the New Wave. Yeah, that's punk got ushered in right on the heels of disco. And then New Wave sort of came in. But then there's punk and then hair bands came in, which is now the opposite of punk, and then grunge came in right after hair bands, because that's the opposite of hair bands. So I don't know why people participate in this, but we seem to. We just do come right in with the opposite. So maybe there'll be an opposite,
Starting point is 00:11:29 but I think the opposite now is not necessarily gonna be a nationwide fad. It's gonna be safe spaces and octagons. People are just picking up and leaving. That seems terrible to me. Yeah, I talked to a guy yesterday who builds my race cars and he's just like, well, Monte, the engine guy's relocating to Texas, so he's gonna be leaving
Starting point is 00:11:56 in the next six months, we gotta figure out a way to get the engine done before Monte leaves. And it's like, yeah, Monte's been building engines in Southern California for 35 years, but now he's gotta move to Texas. So he doesn't want to, but he's gonna have to for his business. That's just the way it's going.
Starting point is 00:12:14 And if there was some end in sight, then I don't think people would leave, but they're going to, and then Texas is gonna get filled up with guys like Monty who build race engines and LA is going to be filled up with homeless people, illegals, and the ghost of my mom who wants wants us all to embrace them except for not her. Yeah. You know and that's we're just going to self-segregate. Why wouldn't we? It's just but it hasn't happened that way historically. We segregate in terms of maybe cultural sort of
Starting point is 00:12:46 preferences, but we didn't segregate physically the way we're going to now. And by the way, one quick thing on the punk thing. I was working with adolescent medicine programs in the 90s, and the one thing we observed was that if the kid was punk, like really punk, with a lot of spikes in metal stuff, very high probability of hippie parent. Oh, interesting. Yeah. That's interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:13 But back to the segregating, we were in Salt Lake City a couple weeks ago. We've not had a chance to really talk about that. And then I was in Florida all week, which is again another stunningly different state than California, and I'm moderately depressed being back here, I would say moderately. But I mean, Salt Lake City, you could eat off the street. Yes, very clean. You could walk day or night down the street, no problem. Why don't people see that kind of thing and want that for their town?
Starting point is 00:13:49 People have a scary ability to sort of, as a sort of like what is just is. You know what I mean? Like most people. Yeah, we do sort of, we can accept almost anything. I think most people are kind of wired this way. Let's just say you had a roommate, you know what I mean? And he said, I got a couple of boxes with some books,
Starting point is 00:14:19 I gotta move over to my storage place, I'm just gonna put them in the living room here where they're safe for a couple of days, a short period of time before I gotta move them. And then you go, oh, okay, yeah, sure, go ahead. And then two weeks later, they brought in a few more boxes. And they just sort of set it there, and then went, and you went,
Starting point is 00:14:38 well, what's with all the boxes in the living room? And they went, yeah, I'm just waiting for my storage place to open up, I wanna move those out. And then they just dropped some more boxes off two weeks later, and at some point you stop asking about where these boxes are going, and the boxes become part of your landscape. Let's say it's further than a smoke detector, chirping.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yeah. Same deal. Yeah. It's just, that's your noise. That's your noise. That's your background. That's what's going on. It's just that's your that's your noise. That's your noise. That's what's going on. That's what is, you know, and so it's like every almost every day when I drive back to Malibu and Sunset hits PCH, makes a T, there's a whole right lane to turn in that merges into, you get your
Starting point is 00:15:27 own dedicated merge lane, right? And they just sit there at that red light and the traffic backs all the way up sunset, like past the next light and into where the school is and stuff like, I mean, just goes back like eight blocks. And the lead person, it just sits there. Nobody honks. Well, I honk, but I'm 14 cars back. And I honk, and then the person in front of me goes,
Starting point is 00:15:54 ooh, we want me to. And I'm like, honk, but the person just sits there to red light. You can turn, you have a lane to turn. The person behind that person doesn't honk, and there's two lanes to turn right, and neither one of them goes, and everyone just sits there, and I'm like, oh, people are having endless capacity
Starting point is 00:16:14 to sort of absorb what is. Like, what is going on? Well, we're sitting here. Well, what would you like to do? I'd like to go home. But what's going on now? We're here, and this is it. This is where we are.
Starting point is 00:16:30 And it, now God forbid the city put a sign up that says turn right on red or turn right when it's clear or keep traffic clear. They don't do any of that. Just the lead person just sits there. I understand why, I mean, when there's a lane, you have your own lane. You have your own lane. I don't stop. Why do they stop? I don't know. They stop and they sit there and the traffic just goes all the way
Starting point is 00:16:54 up the hill. I mean, it's one thing to stop and then go, you know what I mean? But, but why stop at all? Well, there's a red light and the red light, you will get a ticket if you roll through the red light. And when you have it on your own right turn lane? Okay, no, okay. No, of course you will. You have to fucking stop, it's California.
Starting point is 00:17:14 You have to come to a stop. You come to a stop, and then you turn, which you should do at every intersection. It's legal. People don't know it, they don't want to do it. There's no campaign about it. It doesn't matter how far back up the traffic goes. I mean, it goes right up the hill, right up sunset.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Didn't you call that your move your ass campaign? Yeah, get a little momentum going. But the person directly behind the person that's not turning does not honk. And if they do, they do turn. But that person never honks. And then everyone just sits there. Any profiling of the people that sit there? I oftentimes try to figure out who these people are
Starting point is 00:17:58 because, another example, when you come here to this studio and you get off the 5 freeway, you get off the ramp to turn left or right, it's another T, there are two left turn lanes that'll take you to where we're at right now off of that ramp. Most often, one of them will have 18 cars in it and the other has zero and I just drive around the pile of cars and go right up to the front and sit the light and then I think to myself who are these people? I just did that. I do it too and then I go are these all tourists? Because it's Wednesday and it's 9.45 in the morning and Disneyland is
Starting point is 00:18:48 nowhere near here. These are people who live here and work here. Why are they doing this? Why did they just get in? There's two lines. Listen, I've gotten off this exit 7,000 times because this is where I work. Yeah. Everyone else is getting off These are tour buses or anything. There's just guys like working. Yeah people going somewhere They don't realize there's another lane. They don't use it I would the rally is is they just get in behind the person who's in front of right? There's two things so they're there're there, and then they're just there. One is human, it's sort of bystander thing. Humans do what other humans do, right?
Starting point is 00:19:30 They just kind of line up. But the other thing is there's no sense of urgency, purpose, you know, get it on, nobody's doing stuff. They're just sort of, what's the hurry? What are they hurrying to do? Yes, the people every single time Sense of urgency is a pretty important statement, I think. They just sit at that red turn, that red light on PCH with an entire lane.
Starting point is 00:19:58 It's at 200 yards along. And they just sit there. Well, I just had a conversation with myself about this. And so's the person behind them. So I just did that in the Western Avenue off-ramp from the 5, you know, and there was a line of cars in the the second lane, it's left turn lane, had, I really thought to myself, one of the cars happened to be a giant trash truck. Mm-hmm. Then I thought why are they, why do they file in behind this? But the other thing I thought is, the cars are sort of like kind of late model, not kept up well kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:20:34 And I thought, I just want to sort of an out of it-ness generally that people have right now especially. There is a... I really was looking, I was studying it a little bit because I was like, this is, there was like, there was no hyperbole nine cars with a trash truck. Oh, nine cars. One on the other one. I've done 17 cars cracked up and zero in the other light. I'm always just like, thank you. I'll just go all the way around. And by the way, speaking of no sense of urgency, I don't know if you noticed, but when you get off Western, that, it Flower or whatever that next one is, kind of time, so if you can really
Starting point is 00:21:07 get over there, you can make the next turn. Nope, no one's doing that either. Sad. True. There's many, I mean look, there's many cultures that work this way. I guess. Well, people always claim that, you know, we went on vacation and we went to Jamaica and it took like 40 minutes for the waiter to come by and even take our order,
Starting point is 00:21:32 you know, and then we ordered and it took another 15 minutes to get a beer, you know, it's like, there are cultures that are sort of detuned. You know what I mean? Just kind of, what's your rush? And you know. And that's why you go there, to be fair. Well, it is true.
Starting point is 00:21:46 That's why they have a lot of vacation spots and not so much industry. Right. All right, let me tell you about Better Help. You wanna detune yourself a little and breathe a little better. This show's sponsored by Better Help. Well, carry around stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:59 We keep bottled up. Yeah, everyone's aware of that. Mother's Day came and went had some thoughts Therapy well, it's a safe space to get things off your chest and figure out how to get through it therapy is something that Drew and I both are big proponent of and You're thinking about starting therapy give better help a try. It's entirely online Convenient and flexible and as Drew always brings up, you don't have that weird waiting room vibe.

That's right, get it off your chest with BetterHelp. Visit better better help comm slash item and you today to get 10% off your first month That's better help H ELP comm slash Adam and drew All right, yeah the other thing
Starting point is 00:22:57 Do you have there's a there's a great? Newsome clip I think you're gonna like cuz I because I know you like hyperbole around weather. Yes, I think I know where you're going. And I like atmospheric river and storm bombs or something. You know what's an interesting thing? People bring up stuff and they bring up stuff and they add new words and they give new titles and then it's as if it is, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:32 And my thing is like I don't go along with your new titles. It's called rain. It's not called an atmospheric river. Right. Also, an atmospheric river or storm bomb or whatever you're calling it. Bomb cyclone. Bomb cyclone and or. That's hysteria. That's just hysteria.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Well, but it's also like McDonald's pays slave wages. Slaves don't get paid. I'm not going along with you and your nomenclature. You know what I'm saying? You're making up stuff. You're pulling something. And it could be pronouns or could be storm bombs or atmospheric rivers or cyclones or something.
Starting point is 00:24:15 But I live here and it rains sometimes. Not that often, but it rains. And then you get in your car and you go to where you're going and then you get out of your car and then you go to work and then you get back in your car and you go home. That's how the rain works. Because we have cars with rain sensing wipers
Starting point is 00:24:37 and anti-lock brakes and speed rated tires and all sorts of stuff that really makes the rain kind of here nor there when you're driving a modern day vehicle. Oh, I, during one of these atmospheric rivers, I drove from Santa Barbara, which they evacuated, part of it, and drove in the middle of the storm all the way down with flood warnings coming on my phone all the way down, and it was raining. Yeah, the flood warnings are always great because I'm driving through downtown, it's like in Kern County, I'm not in Kern County. You guys can't work this out a little more regionally?
Starting point is 00:25:14 No? Well, I may be heading to Kern County after this. All right, let's hear, a reporter wants to know, how did California go from 100 billion surplus to a deficit? This was this was on my mind this morning so much I almost couldn't sleep. Okay well can we explain to Californians how we move from a hundred billion dollar surplus to such a significant deficit in just a matter of a few years? Well it's yeah one year.
Starting point is 00:25:39 You can explain it. 349 billion dollars of unprecedented capital gains 11.6 percent when traditional capital gains is around 5.18 percent on average. It's almost double. So you have massive volatility. You have requirements under Prop 2, the GAN, you have requirements under Prop 98, which require that set aside. We use 93% of our surplus, which is, I wanna be careful, either on the higher end
Starting point is 00:26:11 or without precedent for one time purposes. So we anticipated, because we didn't want that surplus to go to ongoing commitments. We anticipated that shortfall. Wait, wait, can you stop it for a second? What the hell was that? I don't know what he's talking about. Because he was, he had a huge budget deficit. He was told he should save some of this and he sort of gave it away. Yeah. And he's sort of saying that he had to give it away or something or he had to give a certain present.
Starting point is 00:26:37 He's now just kind of, he moves along. He's really in some sort of Don King He's really in some sort of Don King-like era where he's just spinning out shit and people just kind of go, I don't even know what he's, I just let him finish. So good. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:52 For one time purposes. So we anticipated, because we didn't want that surplus to go to ongoing commitments, we anticipated that shortfall. What we didn't anticipate is these rain bombs in December, January, February, and March. Hold on a second. You don't anticipate winter weather during the winter months. Right. You don't anticipate rain during the rainy months. And let's remind ourselves that they were dealing for 10 years with a terrible drought with lots of expense from the drought, which is now resolved because of the
Starting point is 00:27:28 snowpack and the rain bomb, which, which, by the way, what that cost nothing. I mean, I've seen, we've had way worse rain storms over the year. No one's ever complained from the state. Well, explain why. All right. These rain bombs in December January February and March? these atmospheric rivers that led to federal declaration that led to FEMA and the IRS
Starting point is 00:27:58 Moving in a direction where we couldn't collect our taxes until I believe November. Oh my god Yeah, hold on you can't He's blaming you Oh my god collect because it was raining outside. You can't collect your taxes The taxes are not the problem. The problem is they're spending too fucking much money in what about the rainbow? Oh, yeah. All right. Here we go. I'm sure it's gonna go to climate change the rainbow. Oh yeah. All right here we go. I'm sure it's gonna go to climate change. Close to April 15th and so therein lied this blackout period that beguiled all of us, the LAO, finance, economists, experts and interestingly I
Starting point is 00:28:36 mean has been at the White House recently had an impact in terms of the IRS collections as well with their estimates because there were other states that had similar delays in their taxes related to weather events. If there was any indication that climate change has impacts well beyond those that are often promoted, I would consider our financial delays as just another example of why we need to tackle them another reason. I'm looking forward to Conversations that will be having next weekend. All right, so before you spending more money Well, we got it. What do you say? Well, so we need to tackle climate in In LA and California, so it doesn't rain so much
Starting point is 00:29:23 Is that what we wanna do? I thought we had the drought again. I thought there was a drought. Who wants the drought back? Is that what he's talking about? We need to, okay, so we need to tackle the climate issue so it rains less so we can collect taxes, which are filed electronically most of the time, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Oh yeah. So is that what we're talking about? He spends too much money. He's lost the heavy earners. There was a windfall of, he's right, they did explain why he first had a big surplus, and he should have anticipated as an extraordinary event and saved accordingly and stopped spending so damn much and then as opposed to blaming collections. Well, the weather, so he's blaming. Weather, so he couldn't, but I mean, I thought the weather, I thought his thing was going to be the weather costs so much, it costs us so much, we had to expense, we had to do

Were people in McDonald's? Hotels like were they able to collect money from people who came into Trader Joe's? No, it was raining. You can't pay for groceries when it's raining.
