The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - Conservatives Anonymous (The Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics)

Episode Date: April 1, 2023

Adam and Dr. Drew open the show discussing the frustrating nature problems like homelessness and how the arguments that people make surrounding such problems end up being an impediment to actually making any progress in resolving the underlying problem. They also discuss the absurdity that is the number of rules that exist in Los Angeles that only become more frustrating in the wake of rules being ignored when it comes to the homeless population. Adam is joined by Dr. Bruce where Adam gives Bruce a bit of a dressing down over the coffee he is consuming before starting to tell Bruce a story about his agent James 'Babydoll' Dixon. They then turn to the phones and speak to a caller who believes she may have met Adam when he was teaching comedy traffic school. Sticking with the phones, Adam and Dr. Drew speak with a caller who has questions about Hollywood types and the lack of conservative speech coming from that community.

Welcome back to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. First up for today, episode 956, released November 19th, 2018, titled, What's in that Locker? Adam and Drew discuss their frustration with the homeless problem, specifically how attempting to extrapolate the nature of the problem leads to more impediments than progress. Have we discussed my solutions for homelessness? Sort of how I think we should deal with some of that.

Soylent green. There was that. But here's the deal. We have people, when people think about homelessness, they go, oh, no, no, you don't understand. Only a third of them have mental illness. Those are the ones I'm concerned about, the ones that are in the tents on the streets talking to themselves, shooting heroin, whatever it might be. Those are the ones I'm concerned with. There are people that hit bad times and couch surf and sort of need some help.

I understand that population exists. bad times and couch surf and sort of need some help. And I understand that population. Well, I'm not I don't know politician or not expert punning on Fox or CNN. I'm not sure what's in it for everybody to you when you say, hey, people need to wear their seatbelts, and then I pipe up and I go, I know a guy got in a car accident and was thrown clear. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt and he's alive today. He's ready to turn to his beautiful children. He blew up and hit the ground. He was running and hit the ground.

Actually went into Chappaquiddick and he would have been in Davy Jones' locker. Like, okay, first off, granted granted things happen i i'm saying by and large for the most part here's what we're trying to do uh not sure if we can ever solve a problem if you are explaining me you know the face of homelessness is not just uh mental illness and destitute people these are working folks where the factory closed down. Like that's the face of homelessness. I'm not sure what's in it for you to redefine everything because we are not going to be able to effectively solve any problem.

If I go, we got a problem with stray dogs. The face of stray dogs are not just dogs that have left their yard, but it's all of our problems. And I go, no, no. My dog's in my yard. I know where my dog is. It's got a chip in it. First things first, can we have a fucking normal discussion about sleeping on a sidewalk? This is not, I lost

my job at the GM factory in Van Nuys. Right. And I'm talking to myself and whatever. And I can't take care of my GM. Is there anybody you know, I'm factoring Van Nuys. Right. And I'm talking to myself and whatever. And I can't take care of my hygiene. Is there anybody you know, I'm looking at Matt and Gary because they're the most likely to lose their jobs in today's environment. What is the scenario where you sleep outside after losing your job? For seven years. What is the scenario?

You would go from a sweetie we got a downsized a smaller apartment at some point matt moves into the simpsons uh writer's room when he grew up in and uh has a my tie in a jacuzzi with his uh underdog lawyer dad what's the part where's the part where you physically go to bed on the sidewalk how many how many how many moves i think it's in order for that to act i'm very fortunate but in order for that to happen i'd spend weeks fighting off family members and loved ones of course yeah but so this like gary would have to have a half birthday party this narrative this narrative when are we gonna have his half birthday carrie it's a belt tightening time we have to have a half birthday party. This narrative. This narrative. When are we going to have his half birthday party? Gary, it's belt tightening time.

We have to go to three quarter birthdays and then, of course, full birthdays. We can no longer do the half birthday. We'll do five eights. I knew this day would come. I'm saying this is like this deal of like, well, what happens? Well, these guys have families. They're gainfully employed. They're working for Corolla Digital.

Next thing you know, he takes a big job with Sirius XM Radio, closes down, and the next night, Matt and Gary out on the sidewalk. The new face of homeless. With a tent. With a tent. I'm sorry. That

doesn't make sense to me. And by the way, permit me to be grandiose, if it doesn't make sense to me, it's not the way it works. We established last week what Adam says is, is. If it doesn't make sense, if I've never heard of, if I don't know anyone I've had, but believe me, I've had a million loser friends. Yes, yes. And I've had many that have struggled with addiction. They never slept outside.

They slept on someone's sofa. Correct. And I've had many that have struggled with addiction. They never slept outside. They slept on someone's sofa. So I have an article in front of me from 1984 that talks about how during the Kennedy administration, the doctors convinced the administration that the medication would take care of everything, and they started pulling the funding out of the hospitals, and no one wanted to work there. I have to read this. May I read this? You may. Okay.

This is the director of the staff of the Joint Commission in 1955, a guy named Jack Ewald, a great believer in the use of drugs, but they are just another treatment, not a magic. Drugs can help people get back to the community, he said, but they have to have medical care, a place to live, and someone to relate to. They can't just float around aimlessly. Then this same guy in 1963 proposed an act that was supposed to have the states continue to take care of the mentally ill, but many states simply gave up and ceded most of their responsibility to the federal government. 1963, this was already going on. The result was

like proposing a plan to build a new airplane and ending up only with a wing and a tail. 1963, they were just falling apart. Congress and the state governments didn't buy the whole program of centers plus adequate staffing plus long-term financial supports for psychiatric hospitals. So from 1963 until this article was written in 1984, they just decayed and fell apart. And nobody wanted to work there. Nobody wanted to be cared for there. And finally, in about 1987, they just closed them down. And they declared that they were like non-ethical to treat people that way. It was all misguided bullshit. And then in 1975

in this city, I've been investigating this stuff lately because I'm very upset about it. 1975 in this city, in Los Angeles, there was an ACLU suit that if you didn't have enough beds to house people that are homeless, we have to allow them to sleep on the street. And that was it. That's been the law of the land ever since. It's insane. This stuff has to be dealt with. And I am telling you, here's where I open this conversation up. The shooter in

Thousand Oaks, the same reason he shot the place up is the same reason people are lying on the streets. In this country, individual rights and privileges trump everything. So rights to help an individual get well who's sick and the rights of the community, meaningless. So this kid who had already multiple calls by his parents to have the police help, mental health assessments. But because to his parents, he spent all day saying, I'm going to kill myself, I'm going

to kill everybody. Then when the team shows up, he goes, I was just kidding. That's it. There's no criteria now. All we would have to do is expand gravely disabled to include the preponderance of evidence, not just that the person says, I'm going to kill Adam, which is what it is now. The preponderance of evidence would dictate, in the opinion of an MD or a psychologist, MD or PhD, that there's a high likelihood this patient would benefit from an evaluation.

That's it. That's all you got to do. And then they come in and then you realize that they could benefit from help. You make them better and they get better. I mean if I have chest pain, if you have chest pain, Adam, I'm going to make you go to the hospital. Why is the heart organ different than the brain organ? Why is that different? Well, the heart wants what the heart

wants. Oh, is that? No, listen. Look, we are simultaneously... Speaking of simultaneous, look at these sweaters. I know. We're wearing the same hoodies today, so we could be like the Malachi brothers.

Well, simultaneously, we are enacting more legislation for more rules and more control while relinquishing it in your department, as I've stated. But I use it as a not really a metaphor, but just sort of an example. Imagine I'm going to write a book one day calling, I'll call it The Founding Fathers Would Never Stop Throwing Up. I've got to write that. But it's a pamphlet, just a common sense pamphlet. Well, first thing they would be would be confused. Like when I told them I bought some land and I was going to build a home on it, and then the city came and told me which trees I had to surround with chain link fence.

And so many of them were way up the hill and nowhere near where I was coming near with the grading. And when I said to him, you know, it's expensive to put a temporary rented fence around five, eight, ten trees. On a hill a billy goat couldn't get onto. temporary rented fence around five, eight, ten trees. On a hill a billy goat couldn't get onto, and on another one that shared on the property line with the neighbor where you can't build, there's easements. You have to step back. I said, why do I have to do this? You have to put chain link.

I pass in the neighborhood. Somebody was building a house, and they had this sort of three-foot or four-foot high sort of Caltrans orange kind of ribbony stuff around it. They drove in with some wooden stakes. It was like a mesh net kind of thing you see on freeway construction. I said, oh, we'll get a roll of that and put it around the trees. They'll be marked. It'll be a lot easier and cheaper than driving down these galvanized metal

things and running cyclone fencing. And they said, no. No. And I said, well, why wouldn't this sufficiently... If I wanted to get to the tree, I could get to the tree. I'm not going to drive a bulldozer through the – I just want to – why can't we just mark them?

We could just like tie – like Tony Orlando would say. Yellow ribbon. Just put a ribbon around it. No, it's got to be a five-foot perimeter around the widest part of the tree. It's got to be chain link. It can't be whatever. And you don't get your – we're not going to sign off on your permit until you find each tree and create a pyramid around and i thought wow that okay so we do like some rules because

we're that's we're going deep in the rule department i mean by the time you get to that rule you got a lot of rules yeah nobody nobody started off a hundred years ago going, well, gee, if we're going to invent automobiles, maybe they should have a bumper or something on them. It took a long time before you got to putting chain link fence around oak trees on your property. We had to make a lot of rules before we got to that. So where's the rule about the suicidal kid or the kid who's threatening others or the adult threatening others. You can only bring them in if they say, I'm going to kill myself and here's how. Or I'm going to kill fill in the blank specific person. And here's how.

My feeling is, look, if we live in a society where I get to drive the speed, I think it's safe to drive my car and I can just go ahead and build on my property in a safe manner the way I'd like to house my family, and there's no building department and there's no cops hiding behind billboards with radar guns, then okay, game on. But don't sell me all the other rules and then leave these ones out. That's what I'm saying. LA is one big rule. Why not one more and get some of these homeless guys off the street?

The bottom line is that the well-being of the individual in question is not factored in in any way. So you think that kid that shot up in the North, that looks happier now, is better off now? No, that could have all been prevented on his behalf if we could have stepped in, number one. And the safety of the community is a zero. It's a zero.

And we should expand conservatorship. And there's a pilot program in California, a guy named Scott Wiener is finally doing it. But we should expand conservatorship so people can get people like those you see on the street and go, hey, I'm now your conservator. We're going to get you some care. We're going to do it. And when they feel better, they're going to be pissed that people didn't do that a lot sooner.

And up next, we have episode 454, released November 10th, 2016, titled How Many Sugars? Adam is joined by Dr. Bruce, whose sugar toto-coffee ratio reminds Adam of James' baby doll, Dixon. They then take a call from a listener who believes she may have met Adam when he taught traffic school. Dr. Drew not around. Dr. Spaz here instead. Dr. Spaz here all week. How many sugars did you just put in your coffee? Less than usual. Less than usual. All right. Count the here all week. How many sugars you just put in your coffee? Less than usual.

Less than usual. All right. Count the carcasses. I'd say you could give my agent, James Babydoll Dixon, a run for his sugar money. Eight. Eight. We're both from Long Island. Maybe you're...

Light and sweet, baby. And it's cold. My coffee is cold. That's what... I'm showing you a picture of what Babydoll Dixon looks like when you go out to a diner with him. That's a good cup of coffee. He's got 13 sugar packets and three, four cream, five cream. But, you know, I always like to say, do you like coffee or don't you like coffee?

Because I feel like this is just a delivery system. Like the coffee's a delivery system like the coffee's a delivery system for the cream and the sugar right yeah well i think people that don't add it you know it's it's sort of like broccoli on pizza you know it adds yeah i'm gonna go down that road again all right please don't make a mess because you you he literally literally pulled the top off of one sugar packet, held it upside down, and started emptying it. And halfway into emptying it, just slid his hand over the console that I built, and it kept pouring out. And I was like, well, you want to wait until you're done before you move your hand? You're supposed to work it like an accordion, and you then you fold it over or you you know you uncapsize it why would you take a sugar thing rip the top off

capsize it start dumping it in your coffee and then swing your arm out while it was still flowing it's all over the console look at this i'm sorry you gotta vacuum that it's gonna be a mess gonna get sticky it's like i'm gonna get ants in. I spilled two drops of Dr. Diet Pepper, Dr. Diet Pepper, whatever it was on your rug out there. I thought you were going to kill me. Do you have – are you a little more OCD? I got a cooler over at the other shop. Yes. I noticed, because I'm the only one who ever notices these things, a substance, the stickiest substance known to man at the bottom on the floor underneath the cooler today.

I got down. I found the culprit was a regular Coke that had somehow opened and slowly drained out over the course of a month. And the stuff on the floor was the brownest, most viscous, stickiest stuff on the planet. And I got down there and I hit it with multiple, multiple shots of Simple Green. And it wouldn't put a dent in it. And I got degreaser, like carb cleaner. And I started going at it with paper towels and all that kind of stuff. You know what's a weird thing, Bruce?

Tell me. If you ever mention things that should be normal, but it elicits a huge laugh from everyone around you. What? It's never a good sign. Well, like every once in a blue moon, like every once in a blue moon, I'll say like, like I would say, I'll go out to lunch with my dad, you know, and then Lynette will go,

how was the lunch with your dad? And I said, he's super pumped about that car, Doc. He can't wait to see it. And then she'll laugh hysterically. Now, that shouldn't be something that elicits such a big laugh. But if the person knows you and knows the person you're dealing with, or if I say something like, I don't like having my dad over when I'm doing these construction projects

because he's always full of ideas, and he's always going to tell me what I could do differently, and he'll insist on jumping in and doing it himself or something, then everyone laughs hysterically. Or I'll say, that was embarrassing when I played high school football because my dad would be up in the stands screaming so loud, and I could hear him down on the field, and then everyone laughs hysterically. Yes.

So when I was down on the floor scrubbing it, and I think Fondelier walked in, and I said, usually Lynette gets this stuff, but I thought I'd do it today. He then laughed hysterically. That would make me laugh. That would make you laugh, right? Yes, absolutely. So I spent, when you have semi-normal activities

that garner huge belly laughs from people, I would argue that's it. But she could say, you know, normally Adam brings chocolates on Friday instead of flowers, and everyone would laugh hysterically as well. So you know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's an easy way to do that. So, you know, it's a two-way street.

But I was down there cleaning this viscous goo. I had to totally clean out the cooler. It's a Coke cooler. It was Jimmy's. I got it in the divorce. Did your forensic pathologist come in to trace the perpetrator? This one Coke can. Who was it?

And I don't drink Coke. That sprung a leak somehow just from being in the bottom of the cooler having other cans thrown on top of it just like a pinhole leak and just dribbled dribbled dribbled and it is the stickiest gooeyest mess so i'm reliving that now bruce do i have to clean this up well what you shouldn't do is probably throw all of the spent sugar packets just down onto the console that I built because it's bound to just bleed out. I would say do them and then fold them over and throw them away. Or maybe just do the whole thing by the sink. Yeah.

You're fastidious. I do make an attempt when I'm here not to be as physically. Oh, that's obvious. Yes. That's abundantly apparent. Well, either way, this is mini vac territory. Do we have a mini vac? I have multiple, multiple mini vacs.

I buy them for the house. Yes. I buy them for the shop. I buy them for here. I buy multiple mini vacs. Okay. The battery operated ones work pretty good these days. I got them for here. I buy multiple minivans. The battery operated ones work pretty good these days.

I got the one by Milwaukee. Really? Oh, yeah. Are they a sponsor? No. No, they should be. The same company, the tool company. Yeah. Excellent. Good stuff. Yeah, and I feel like I want to get it before you. I see your elbows getting dangerously close. You're spreading it around

there. All right, let's talk to uh jennifer line one yes jennifer hey hi how are you doing good hey i gotta tell you can i tell you a few things well one is when you drop your voice low like that oh my god yeah i'm making you hot baby baby. I mean, it does. It does. But, you know, I know you're married, so I don't want to disrespect anybody. Yeah. Mm-hmm. But then what about my feelings? But, you know, I have to know.

Hey, we've got to settle this once and for all because I've been listening to you for a few months now. Mm-hmm. And you were mentioning traffic school, Whittier, everything kind of applies. I just don't know what year that you are referring to. That I taught traffic school? Yes, sir. Well, Gary wants to see your Twitter. He wants to check you out.

It's Jennifer Musil. It's Jennifer Musil. Spell that. M as in Mary, U, S as in Sam, IL. I forgot you can find out what people look like now. Ooh. Yeah. I mean, yeah.

That's me. Well, now you're 35, and sadly, I taught traffic school. I don't remember years specifically, but I remember where I was. I was living in an apartment in north hollywood with my stripper ex-stripper girlfriend at the time and unfortunately when i was teaching and i probably taught for about a year and a half probably tops maybe two years i was that would have been like 1991, 90, 90 and 91. So you were way, you were like 10 years old. Yeah.

Oh yeah. Hey, it doesn't mean I didn't ask you out. Yeah, you must have a twin because this gentleman took me out on a few dates and he also took me up into the Hollywood Hills. And I remember a fire pit. I remember all these like very parallel stories. So maybe you have somebody else out there. Did he teach for Let Us Amuse You traffic school? It's possible.

It's possible. But this guy was an amazing kisser. Could be me. That sounds like me. I just don't remember the name Adam. Well, hold on a second. How old were you? Well, I was either, I mean, I was thinking it was in 2004, but that can't be, right?

No, I was already a big celebrity by then, so I probably didn't teach as much traffic school. Right. That's the thing that was confusing to me because I was like, oh, it doesn't really make sense. But either way, I'll just imagine that it was you. Damn. Well, look, we'll always have Whittier. As they say in the Bogart movie. Yeah.

I would like that. I wish it were true. I would like to. Oh, my gosh. I wish it were true. I never got so lucky. I just imagine that it is true. Well, I remember one time they used to fill out teacher evaluations. Uh-huh. And one time when I taught like Malibu, there was one really hot chick in the class.

And she was like funny and smart and cute too. And she like left her phone number. So I called her. And she's like, hello? And I'm like, hey, it's me, remember? She's like, yeah. And I'm like, yeah, you left your phone number and yeah. Said I was smart and cute and stuff.

Okay. And it's like, that's what chicks do, right? No dude would do that. I pre-qualify. I pre-qualify. Would you do that? I was a lot cuter though. I was a lot cuter though 10 years ago.

I mean, I'm not going to give myself any, oh, listen to this. A big 18-wheeler just driving right by us. I'm at happy hour right now, by the way. So I had to call you because it's been bugging me. But anyway, yeah. Yeah, I wish it were true, Jennifer. And I did go see you in Thousand Oaks with my father. And I feel like we had a moment. All right, well, let's just say we we'll always have thousand oaks and parts of

whittier and perfect yeah thanks ever yeah i don't think it works out for a time wise i probably taught yeah it must have been about 90 91 92 somewhere somewhere in there because i met jimmy in like 94 so i had stopped teaching at that point for quite some time how many laughs did you really get in traffic school or was it just everybody what do you mean did i really get no i mean in traffic is it like a stand-up routine or how much how much would i get or how much would most people get no was it rewarding as a comedian at that point. Oh, you had to stand there for like eight hours. I took driving school once. I got a lot of laughs, but I was hustling.

But I didn't do a routine. I was just improvising. Okay. So it was good practice, though. Oh, yeah. That's why I did it. Stand there for eight hours for 80 bucks. It was comical.

Yeah, no, I was actually pretty good. But that's because I'm me. for 80 bucks. It was comical. Yeah, no, I was actually pretty good, but that's because I'm me. You know what I'm saying? The modest Adam Carolla. Well, how many people do you think can do what I do? Not I. How many people?

No one else. Thank you. No one else. Thank you. We'll be right back with more of the adam and dr drew show classics last up for today we have episode 1395 released march 12th 2021 titled i always bet on incompetence the guys take a call from a listener questioning if their relative silence obscures the number of conservatives among the hollywood community all right i want to talk to jim i do uh new york

city here 59 jim hey guys how are you hi guy what's up here's my question yeah you guys kind of i would imagine have like an inside track on these hollywood elites um are you hearing like i mean they can't all be this cool right oh you i would think anyway are you guys hearing anything like that they wouldn't say in public that leads you to believe like a lot of them or a certain percentage of them really do lean conservative. They just can't say it. I'm hearing two things. I'm hearing more traditionally liberal people getting disgusted and scared by the direction things are going.

So it's people that were really hardcore liberal are for the first time in my experience starting to go, whoa, this is not liberal anymore. I don't know what this is. So I'm hearing that. You do hear about people who are conservative that just can't speak up. There's a lot of that, right? Sure. But they don't speak up.

So that's part of the question. Is there a lot of that or is it just a few within Hollywood? Probably a few, i'd say i i think what you have is you have people who may not consider themselves conservative but they sit around and they go god we're going to reopen these schools and jesus christ the taxes are getting out of control around here and we can't just open the border. And so it's like they end up sounding like conservatives without thinking they're conservatives or even

acting conservative. I would say they're sort of strange bedfellows forming right now. Yeah, kind of like a James Woods. No, James Woods, he's out there all the way, right? He's an extreme conservative. But I think more... Well, he's actually not. I mean, This is a

quote-unquote, dyed-in-the-wool liberal. He was. It's hard to call him that now. Do you call him that now? Well, I'd say that's what he called himself, or calls himself that. He was a dyed-in-the-wool liberal. I do hear a lot of people say stuff like that.

Actually, at the crux of the question is, guys like him, are there a lot more of them than people believe or? Well, there's, all right. I have a rule of thumb for everyone to follow, which I've discussed before, which is if there is a celebrity and you do not hear anything out of their mouth politically,

then go ahead and count them as Republican or conservative. Now, the people who are progressive never shut their fucking bloviating trap about everything all the time. Right. That we know very clearly. Celebrities like to talk. Comedians like to talk. People like to tweet and pontificate and this and the other. The ones you hear nothing from usually are conservative or might be Republican or lean to the right. Or at least aren't carrying the progressive crucible.

They just aren't doing that. Right. And the reason you'll know is there is no punishment in this state, in Hollywood, and in New York and where all the entertainers are, there is no punishment to speaking a sort of hard left angle. There is a punishment to a conservative angle. And so that would then let you know, how is it? Is it just a coincidence that all the chatters from the left in the Hollywood celebrity world?

I mean, you can go, well, what about Scott Baio or something like that? But I'm talking about all the mainstream celebrity chatter is to the left. How come we don't hear chatter from the right? And if you don't hear that chatter from that celebrity, oftentimes that person things that a lot of the extreme uh rhetoric was trump derangement syndrome and now that that's sort of settled now people are free to have their opinions and they're kind of softening i wonder how guys like jimmy feeling right now, like whether he's softening his, because I don't see his quotes out there anymore because it was, you know.

Yeah, I think there's a call to duty with Trump. And I think Hollywood looked at it like, you know, like during the military. It's like, all right, USO, you know, you got to do your part. They looked at it as it's war. You got to do your part. Now the war's ended.

So they're not quite have that feeling almost a patriotic duty. Right. Well, Hitler's in charge. You got to go after Hitler, right? I mean, the problem is it's left this delusion that there's Nazis and fascists everywhere. So we have this aftermath delusional thing. Yes. So weird.

It's very weird. Oh, there was a, thanks. There was a Rob Reiner quote that was, we played on my podcast last week, blah, blah, blog. I think it was, there's a Rob Reiner blog quote that just sounded insane. It just, I don't know how people get to that place. I like Rob Reiner. I do too. It's bizarre to me. I always say to everyone, do you think this is a racist country? Do you think

it's filled with white supremacists and neo-Nazis? And this is what you think? And if so, where are they? What's going on? Where are the rallies? What are we hearing about? It's like it's baffling. And it's also baffling when people come around to this shit at this more advanced ages. And maybe not for you because you have a lot of elderly parents. But I find it – I told you when I was talking to my dad like four years ago, and he said, Trump's taking kids, he's throwing them in cages, in cages, on the border. What does he say now? Their retention center.

But the point is, at this ripe old age, you can be that easily manipulated. I guess the answer is yes. that easily manipulated? I guess the answer is yes. See, to me, it's easy not to buy into things because you think, you know, you go, Trump's throwing kids in cages. And then you go, why? And they go, because he's evil.

It's like, okay. He's Hitler. Is that going to help him get reelected? Oh, with his, you know, voter? Right, they're all Nazis. That's where they see all the Nazis. It's like a weird time suck just to be evil for the sake of being evil. You can do things that are negative in the in the name of trying to do something that is good.

Right. But that doesn't mean you're evil. Right. I mean, I would think a lot of these aforementioned governors are locking everything down. Some of them may have the best of intentions. It's still going to fuck a lot of people up, but doesn't make them bad. It means bad shit happened because of them trying to do something good. Yes.

I want to hear Rob Reiner's quote. Since the GOP has gone all in and stands for nothing but white supremacy, they know they'll never win a national election unless they stop people of color from voting. Passage of H.R. One will allow those of you, those of us in the vast majority to rule. Don't let the racists win. So Republicans go all in on racism. But you have to. The Democrats suggested they were all in on racism.

But what Republicans are talking about? Well, the white supremacy term has got to be really – people have to really hammer out what they're talking about when they say that. Usually what they mean is Eurocentric white perspective. They're not talking about skinheads. Right. And the conservative party is filled with people like that that don't quite understand Trump is guilty of this. He doesn't get

that his perspective is from a certain position and it's not like him to get off his own perspective. He wouldn't do that. But to not try to understand the experience of others is what people mean when they say white supremacy.

And unfortunately, I don't believe that, Drew. You're an asshole. I'm not an asshole. I may be. Is that what Rob's saying, that people aren't trying to understand the experience of others? Calling people white supremacists. That is not not trying to understand others. That's calling someone a white. They're using inflammatory language and they should they should define what they're talking about.

And that's the part that's getting people all messed up right now. Well, what you're saying, Drew, is like, I'm calling you a pedophile, but that's not really what I'm saying. I'm saying you're not understanding your neighbor's children. Yeah, I know. I get it. Drew, don't be an asshole. You're apologizing. I won't be an asshole.

You're shitting all over my point. No, I'm not shitting on your point. Yes, you just did. That's a horrible language for him to use. It is horrible. I absolutely agree with you. I totally agree with that. All right.

And we don't know what he's saying. He's saying white supremacists. I got to tell you, he's saying it. Frederick Douglass in 1870 defined this for me. And he was talking about this phenomenon of white perspective. And that's where I gained my perspective. I read it from that. The definition has been expanded to the point where the buttons are going to burst on the

pants at this point. But I'm saying when you call someone a white supremacist, you know what you're doing. That's what I'm saying. That's all for this week.
