On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton joins Adam to discuss the state’s economic chaos and what can be done to fix it. They cover Katie Porter’s comments about Chase Bank, the insanity of a $30 minimum wage, and how young people waste money on stupid things like Starbucks and Grubhub. Adam and Steve also break down leftist hoaxes like the Trump–Russia narrative, question why Chevron targets California with high prices, and discuss the unanswered questions surrounding where the $100 million FireAid funds went. Plus, they react to Gavin Newsom’s past claim about checking account access in black and latino communities.
In the news, Elisha Krauss joins Adam to break down the latest headlines, starting with The View’s Sunny Hostin sounding the alarm over Stephen Colbert’s show cancellation—warning it could signal a threat to democracy and the Constitution. They also dig into the $100 million raised during the FireAid concert and the growing controversy over where the money actually went. Reality star Spencer Pratt calls out Gavin Newsom in a fiery video, demanding answers about the alleged misuse of wildfire relief funds. Plus, they react to the wild story of a white poet who faked being a gender-fluid Nigerian to get dozens of his poems published.
Get it on.
