You're listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew Pinsky, you're listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew show. Yeah, get it on. Get it on. I'm just going to make a little bit of a good juice. More survives than this. But you can.

Come on. It's a bra. Hmm. All right. I wanted to share something I saw on the Internet a little bit earlier today. And Brandon, Mayor the internet a little bit earlier today and Brandon Mayor Brendan Johnson sorry there's a Brendan Marshall wide receiver Brendan Johnson yeah who's the mayor of Chicago who seems radical I don't throw that word around too often, but he seems a little radical for me.

And every time he talks, he just talks about as a black man raising black kids in Chicago. It's like a weird thing. It's sort of, kind of reminds me, I don't know why, but it always reminds me of when I was doing a Crank Yankers call and I said to the person at the funeral home, no son should have to bury a parent. And the woman went, oh, you're so right. Oh, you're so right.

And I was like, oh, if you just say shit with conviction, people go, oh, yeah. We're now at a time when you can just like, first off, you go like, I'm a black man in Chicago, who's gotta raise kids in Chicago. Well, first off, Chicago seems like a pretty good place to raise black kids. That I'm saying I would have it over Alabama or Louisiana, like, you know, like of all places, Chicago, you know what I mean?

Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Seems like soon you're gonna be able to go, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Pretty soon, yeah. No, but it's gonna be, pretty soon it's just gonna be like, it's 2055 and a black man has to raise his children in Chicago.

It's like, yeah, yeah, okay. It's 2024. Yes, you were elected mayor after the other black lesbian person was mayor before you in Chicago, the racist, hardscrabble world of Chicago. Remember where Jussie Smollett was attacked? Remember that place? Yeah, okay.

I don't know, is there... Once you get elected to run a city where the city is, you're not the majority, whatever that is, could we give the race hustling a rest? You know what I mean? No. No?

No. Sorry, Adam. Like most folks- That's when you double down. You know what I mean? No. No? No. Sorry, Adam. Like most folks- That's when you double down. Most folks in LA aren't Italian. But if I was elected running quite a bit on my heritage of being Italian and then I got elected, I don't think I would get behind the mic and talk about being Italian and how

I can't, you're not ready for an Italian It's like we we elected you. Maybe it's a missed opportunity. Maybe you should think about it Probably right the other thing that I always that nobody has a problem with and that I say all the time Let's just say I I feel bad, all the moms, so whether it's Kaepernick, you know, adopted or Obama or now Kamala Harris, your parent of one ethnicity, in her case Indian, her mom was very Indian too. Like you see the pictures, that was her culture, has raised you, the one who's black abandoned you, and you walk around, never stop talking about your blackness. Is there a little bit of a slap in the face to the woman who raised you if we're talking about celebrating women here just in general like let's just say drip

Let's say my mom was Let's say my mom was was Indian the same as Kamala Harris's mom only. Yeah Fucking decent curry and rice. I love curry. Okay, let's just say that was my mom. My mom was Kamala Harris's mom and she stuck around and she raised me and my Italian dad just abandoned me. But I dressed like a gondolier and just fucking just never stopped talking about being Italian. Like, was it a little bit disrespectful to my mom who stuck around and raised me? Isn't it very similar? Is that sort of the opposite of celebrating her? But isn't it the same thing as the parent that raises the child and the child shits

all over that parent and idealizes the dad who moved to Michigan or Florida. Well, it is, but it's worse in that my dad who moved to Michigan or Florida, I could get a few more votes if I talked about his side of the family more. So it's motivated. I'm gonna come across this way. Yeah, it's sadder because it's not just an emotional coin toss, it's motivated.

That's what makes it kind of pathetic. You know what I mean? That's like, oh, sad. Yeah, never say anything about your mom. You're just from Oakland. Yeah, it's kind of funny. It was kind of interesting and funny when I was listening to her, she was talking to Stern, I was gonna say interviewed, but I wouldn't call it an interview, but she goes, he goes, it's funny, nobody ever brings

it up, but he goes, and Kyle, you're sitting down, he goes, so you're in Oakland, and then you, you move to, you move to Montreal, and she goes, yeah, yeah, in high school, in high school. And then she goes, oh yeah, just a little before, no, in the fifth grade, you know what I mean? Or the sixth, that's not, your brain doesn't work like, oh, I moved, if I moved to Detroit when I was 11 or 12, I wouldn't go, I moved there in high school. You know what I'm saying?

I would go, oh, I moved, yeah, we went in the seventh grade, we moved to Dearborn. I would never say high school because high school's drivers licenses and dating and- Was there any follow-up on it? Did he- No, because she- She dismissed it. No, what she was doing is what we talk about all the time, which is shaving, shaving, shaving. So what we talk about all the time which is shaving shaving shaving right so she doesn't want Montreal brought up ever he brought it up sort of mouth of babes he brought he wants to get her elected and he doesn't realize that this is kind of a bad thing and she's trying to tamp it down yeah so he's just doing what about

her history that's all yeah he's doing what an interviewer would do if they didn't know their marching orders, which is don't bring up Montreal. So he goes, and then you move to Montreal, and she's like, yeah, high school. And it's funny, she goes, high school, which is, again, what's she doing? Well, she's trying to limit her time in Montreal

for the narrative, because she's from Oakland, right? Yeah. So she has to say- Such a great next question, did you learn French while you were there? Grew up in Oakland, so she goes high school, and then she goes, oh, a little before. She doesn't go when I was 12.

Or, now Kyle can look it up, but I think 12. So she moved there in the sixth grade, or the seventh grade, or whatever it is. And maybe So she moved there in the sixth grade or the seventh grade or whatever it is. And maybe her high school started in the ninth grade. High school is different in Canada, but I'm not sure how different. Well, it's different that they don't say the 11th grade, they say grade 11.

Which I feel like we should sort out. You know what I mean, like one's better than the other. How about, did you see? I'll start saying grade 11, if that's what you wanna do. I'll say in hospital. Did you see the S, I mean, like one's better than the other. How about did I will? I'll start saying grade 11 if that's what you want to do. I'll say in hospital. Did you see the S I hate that. Did you say the the SNL skit where Nate Nate Bargay's he's playing George Washington talking

about the virtues of this great country they're finding founding. It's a great skit. Did you guys see it? No, I did not see that. Oh my god. It's a great skit. He goes, we're going to gonna have we're gonna establish our own weights and measures

We will call 2,000 pounds a ton. All right, what about a thousand pounds, sir? No, no name And he goes through all the crazy shit we do and then he goes Yes, we'll drive the Europeans mad by not talking about centimeters and millimeters And then he goes to school and he goes we'll call the first year of school Kindergarten then sir. What should we call the grade after that first grade? All right, so all this stupid stuff that I'll look it up. Oh, it's a great skin. All right now It's long. I played here if it weren't so her high school started in what grade or what month? When did she move hit 12? I that's what my recollection was 12,

but 12 is not high school by any means. Saying what's she doing? No, she's shaving. Shaving, shaving tens, fine. Do they have junior high school in Montreal? That's an interesting question, maybe they call it all high school or something. I don't know.

It is possible, but she did correct herself and say little before high school. She's trying to. Shave. Well, listen, when you shave, here's the thing about shaving. Shaving cannot be outright lies. That you can't, those aren't shaved, now you're gonna get into trouble.

So if someone goes, how long did you live in Montreal? She can't go. I never lived in montreal. Right? That's a problem. Yeah biden might do that Biden would say nobody ever lived in montreal He would jack and then get angry. Yeah, if you showed pictures of him in montreal Yeah, no, i've never talked to my son about his business dealings ever anything about nothing that one word Does anyone harken back on those days when Biden the Beacon of virtue was explaining that he's never had a conversation with his son about business ever Does that strike anyone as possibly? I know Trump's a liar, but does that strike anyone as possibly disingenuous? What I

said at the time, it's impossible to not speak to your son about business. Also, he claimed to talk to his son every day. And he was the smartest person he knew. And you would be a bad dad if you did not talk to your son about his business. Right. Okay. Especially when it was on an international stage that involved you. In Quebec, high school starts in grade seven and ends at grade 11. Yeah, I thought it ended at 11.

All right. Well, then what are they? they there all out some because then I will stand corrected Because that 12 just before is just before that. Yeah. Yeah, so that's interesting. Now we got to find out her And by the Quebec her private school like how did that one roll because that is not Private schools may be different. Maybe I don't know. But Quebec province we're talking about, which is where Montreal is, I think. I'm assuming that because we said Montreal. All right, we'll play that Brandon Johnson clip. It's just pretty spectacular.

God bless the Woman who's trying to ask a question at his press conference? She forges on well, let's watch it I'm wondering if any of the board members can answer this question Actually, if all of you can just maybe even just a show of your hands. How many of you support? Um taking out a no, no, interest loan to pay for a teachers contract? If you have a question for the mayor of Chicago, you can ask me a question.

What you are not going to do is litigate what the board has the authority to do once they're appointed. You can ask that once they are appointed. No. No question. I'm not gonna do it. It's disrespectful. Do you have a question for me?

Okay, I'm sorry, you brought them up here and it is a press event. Do you have a question for me? All right, pause it there. Ask me the question. All right, pause. You brought them up there and it is a press event. Right.

Is what the reporters, I didn't storm into your bathroom with a notepad, this is, you held a press event and you brought these school board members up. So now my job as a reporter is to ask a question. Okay. Right? Yeah. He will not let them answer that question. What is the question she's trying to ask?

Can you tell? She's basically saying, you're gonna take this big, high interest loan for millions of dollars to pay these people and we can't afford it as a city. And did she expand the pool? Did he expand the school board or something? We can, no, she can ask it. You'll hear her ask it.

Now, he doesn't want her to ask it, so he does what fucked up politicians do, which is talk over. It's also kind of a black thing, which is, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. It's a weird, it's like a cultural thing. I'd say it's everywhere. No, no, no, no.

White people get told to shut up a little more. It's a little more like picture Donna Brazile being asked about feeding Hillary debate questions in a vent. See if you can get, see if Megyn Kelly can get, finish her question before Donna jumps in. You know what's interesting? I listened to a lot of greatest. By the way, you can look for if you want. I mean, listen,

for God's like seven years, eight years old. But it's Megyn Kelly asking Donna Brazil about feeding debate questions to people on her side, Megan starts to ask the question and she just, excuse me, excuse me, I'm a God-fearing woman. Like she just, she goes, I'm just gonna ram right over this. Because I heard the first couple syllables of what you were saying, like I'm a cheater,

you know what I mean? And your woman goes Listen, I found another woman and I've got oh, I know where this I'm gonna jump in right now Because I I know exactly you're not asking me where I want to eat tonight. Mm-hmm. So Just play it from the start one more time. I'll Ask about a high-interest loan. Okay, but one quick question I have a comment, which is I listen to a lot of French interviews

and television, they never do this. If it starts, one of them immediately stands down and listens and then responds. Well, it's striking how different it is. But you have to have a response. I'm just saying it's striking how different the whole exchange is. What I'm saying is, I had to have not cheated.

And then I'll let the woman finish her allegations. And then I will explain that here's a picture of me and Mike August at the airport when you said I was with her at the hotel. But if I cheated, I got to jump in. All right, sorry. I'm wondering if any of the board members can answer this question. Actually, if all of you can, maybe even just a show of your hands how many of you support uh... taking out a no no we're not we're not doing that

we're not doing it for a contract if you have a question so first things first he just sits there and goes she goes when asked questions to the board members show of hands and he's like it was she asked about school lunches I'll let her ask Right, so he sits there silently for the beginning part because he doesn't know what the question is Yeah, then she says who supports taking out a high interest loan and he goes. Oh, we're not doing this Yeah, right at our press conference. Yeah. Okay. Well, let it go and then it's funny He goes ask me the question and she's like, okay, and then he goes, oh fuck

So here it goes. This is funny And also pretty racist Ask me a question what you are not going to do is Litigate what the board has the authority to do once they're appointed. You can ask that once they are. Gotta get them teachers unions to grow. Not gonna do it. It's disrespectful. Do you have a question for me?

Okay, I'm sorry that you brought them up here and it is a president. Do you have a question for me? Ask me the question. Okay. Ask me if I support. I'm gonna help you out. Yeah. Ask me the question.

If I believe that we should invest in our children and make sure we don't lay off brown and black women yes yes I'm not gonna tolerate cuffs that's what the issue has been in this city you know what a better question would be what are you willing to do it's a better question your power to ensure that a school district that stuff black children in Willis wagons. What? I don't know. What you talking about Willis wagon?

Who doesn't laugh? Who doesn't know what the fuck I'm talking about? That's the beauty of Drew. What am I prepared and willing to do to ensure that our children get the education they deserve? I can guarantee you this is... Anything necessary. Applauding. Dramatically anything necessary applaud dramatically my own questions you know you're seeing I know you're seeing the weakness shit god bless her she's like I'd like to ask my own

questions I'd like to get back to the high interest rate that in the loan you're taking out to pay off these bitches like he doesn't want that oh we're totally fucked and this is that we're done governing But this is the New World Order get somebody make sure they're an endangered species And then they don't have to answer questions because everything is racist and then disrespectful remember it's all disrespectful This is a woman reporter who's asking questions. Yeah, cuz that's Disrespectful at a presser. Yeah, and and that doesn't even bother me. What bothers me is the disregard for budgetary constraints. Well what about the black kids though? I know that's the part that is really troubling. How much you think

Chicago pays per student in terms of what result they get from the teacher? Right it's gonna be huge. What more than would cost to go to private school. Yes, we get nothing Whether it's the longshoreman's unions, I mean do you guys really? You guys understand that part of the longshoreman's 62% raise over the next five years Part of the provisions in there is no automation. Do you understand that the United States does not have a bay or I should say a harbor or wherever the longshoremen are. What is that? A port. A port.

The United States does not have a port where we unload and load cargo that cracks the top 50 internationally. In terms of efficiency? Yes. Yeah. And number one China. No, I mean listen to me. Yeah. And number one, China. Listen, I had a- No, I mean, listen to me. Our top port is like in South Carolina or something, number 52 worldwide because we have unions and the union guys want to keep their jobs so they don't want automation and modernization. So of course we're, I mean like if I said,

look, I got a warehouse, you buy a forklift, five of my guys gonna be out of a job. The guys who move boxes are gonna be out of a gig and one guy will have the forklift job, but five other guys can be out of the job. So we go, no forklifts. That's what the union says. Okay, how is my warehouse going to rank internationally

when it comes to moving boxes? Everyone fucking talks about unions all the time. The reason we got butt fucked by COVID was because of the teachers unions controlling the government. We said Joe Biden sign off on a 62% thing with no fucking innovation because a union forced him to do it. And everyone just talks about the union. It's like, oh,

you want to get rid of the school board? You want to get? Yes, I do. Yes, I do. I had a friend. We are not in the top 50 of ports. I had a friend early in my practice. It was probably in my early 90s, a friend of mine's father was a longshoreman and I always, it'll always stay with you, you have to look up what the average salary is for a longshoreman. He had four houses. Oh the average salary is 150 grand a year with overtime and everything else. They make a fuck of a lot more, they make more than dentists, you know. More than doctors for sure. Now? Yeah. All right. So I thought wow, that's a pretty good job. Why don't we but back to your point about labor and

Trades there's a good trade for somebody Long fucking Sherman her high school Kamal's was 7 to 11. So while you're staying correct, she did move just before high school Did he look wandering to any other forbidden territory? I didn't hear, I'd look 10 minutes. We got Megyn Kelly, Donna Vazil, this is great. Listen to Donna Vazil's filibustering. I have to ask you because you were accused of receiving a debate question before a CNN town hall where they partnered with TV1 and that you had this question on March 12th, that verbatim was provided by Roland Martin to CNN the next day. How did you get that question, Donna?

Well, Kelly, since I play straight up and I'll play straight up with you, I did not receive any questions from CNN. Let's just be very clear. Where did you get it? First of all, what information are you providing to me that will allow me to see what you're talking about? Everybody is leaking private information. You got the WikiLeaks released on March 12th,

Podesta email showing you messaging the Clinton campaign with the exact wording of a question asked at the March 13th CNN TV1 town hall debate. Where did you get it? You know as a Christian woman I understand persecution but I will not sit here and be persecuted because your information is totally false. What you're telling the American people... I'm getting it from Podesta's emails. Well Podesta's emails were stolen. You're so interested in talking about stolen. So you deny it. You're like a thief that want to bring into the night

the things that you found that was in the gutter. I'm not, let me just tell you what I said from day one. CNN's Jake Tapper came out and said this was unethical. Somebody was unethically helping the Clinton campaign. He said, I love Donna Brazile, but this is very, very upsetting. And I love CNN and I love this. My understanding is that the email to Donna Brazile, this is Jake Tapper. My understanding is that the email to Donna Brazil, this is Jake Tapper.

My understanding is that the email to Donna Brazil came from either Roland Martin or someone around Roland Martin. He said this is very upsetting and very troubling. That's your own colleague at CNN. It's not Megyn Kelly. Who gave you that question? Hey, Megyn, once again, I've said it and I've said it on the record and I'll say it on the record and I'll keep saying it on the record.

I am not going to try to validate falsified information. I have my documents. You know what? I have my files. Her, what was this? Thank God I have not had my personal emails. Yeah, I know. You're going to stop it.

She didn't filibuster as much as I thought. She didn't say anything. But what's interesting. But it's shit think which is also we got emails We have emails that say you did this those emails were stolen. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, right They were but they say yeah that you did this thing. Well, those were stolen Right. I am so used to the Donna Brazil response system in politics now. Yeah. It doesn't bother you anymore. Not at all. That would have driven me crazy eight years ago. And, god damn, we didn't appreciate how great Kelly, Megan Kelly was until recently. She's the

only journalist, that's journalists doing journalists. It's shocking to see it. Like, huh, oh, shit. Yeah. Well, I did that to Gavin Newsom, but yeah. But you're not a journalist, that's a point. How dare you? You're just a good interviewer, it's different. Well, no, it's not a... You don't claim to be out there covering the truth and speaking truth to power.

I'm not a good interviewer. If I was a good interviewer, I would've let him go with the thing and moved on. If you were a kind, nice interviewer, a good host to the guest. That's different. Well, no, what I am is interested in accuracy. And if you're going to bring something up,

half the arguments I get into with humans, mostly women, are stuff that they bring up. I don't try to give gotcha. There's no gotcha. I'm not cornering you. You said to me that half the black and Hispanic people in Los Angeles don't have access to a checking account. That's you saying that.

I'm not bringing up, I don't bring up checking accounts with black and Hispanic people I have no interest or expertise in it. I don't even know what the documents do I don't know what the statistics are. I have no why would I know? You know, I wouldn't know what the cost of tea in China was either. It's not something I'm interested in It's not something I would know all I know is it's not half in your lying. Cost of tea and child. That's right.

Okay, old man. You're full of malarkey, I'll tell you that, right now, Drew. Oh my God. All I know is you're lying. That's all. And I also know it's impossible. Well, again, I would urge you, please,

be really careful with the lying accusations. Being full of shit is not necessarily lying. I would like to evolve into a world where these people were designated as liars. We're doing far too much covering for them. Definitely they should be called out for their bullshit. Well, what I'm saying is is Tim Walls does is I was in Tiananmen Square and then his explanation is as well I'm passionate and sometimes I screw up dates when I'm passionate Right, but it's not that's not grown-up dates and being passionate You lying about being in Tiananmen Square when you were in Indiana.

You brought up my— That's—and there's lots of other lies. It's not being passionate about dates. It's you lying. And I would like it to go down in the record books of not him being passionate. If you say to me, I'm passionate, and I screw up dates. So you've said to me, when did you, when did you do your first man show episode?

I'd go, I don't know. 99? I don't know, exactly. I'm passionate, but I don't know. But that's not me saying I invented comedy. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, and you a couple days ago were talking about my exaggerations and you know a passionate passionate man. So maybe that's it Maybe he's on to something

What I'm saying is is Whomever I Would like them to be known as a liar When it comes to this subject and Possibly leaving the door open to lying about other things to being a liar not being incorrect and passionate Yeah, see what I'm saying. Yes, I do and so you keep saying maybe they're not lying Tim waltz is lying. He knows exactly what happened. Trump's bullshit.

He lied. But here's the deal. Does Trump not know, does he know he's lying anymore? They bullshit that so much? What Trump does is he does what women do. Yeah. Which is when you say a migrant scratched my car he says a migrant totaled my car yeah and he destroyed my car yeah yeah okay I fine can we remember we talked about editing keep going I said the word totaled my car you go upside a man's head Cut it right there

he does a thing which women do a lot and a lot of guys now to is they want to make a point and they realize if 12 million undocumented people coming into this country is good for their point, then 20 million would be better for their point. What they don't realize is they say 25 million and then they get vetted and corrected and then they argue over that and then they call you a liar. Much better just going 13, you know, between 13 and 18 million undocumented, whatever. You go 30 and then people go, he's lying. And now we argue over who the liar is. See what I'm saying? Yes, I do. And that's the part I'm trying to mitigate.

All the lying accusations we've got, we got to call these things something more specific. People should get called out as liars when they when they lie. But whoever's interviewing them needs to do that as well. Except for that leads to no more interviews, which I'm telling you to say now it's kind of baked into the societal cake and that's trouble because we're not going to have we're not gonna get information anymore if Kamala Harris is going on Howard Stern we're not gonna

find out anything right that we might need to know which was the opposite of what the reason you do interviews so we can learn weird more about you yeah all right Potts town Pennsylvania soul Jules I'll be doing a stand-up there tonight tomorrow night four shows go to amcro.com for all the live shows what you got drew put us over the top of that 300,000 threshold at rumble ask dr.
