From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, political commentator Janiyah Thomas.
Plus the news with Alicia Krauss. And now, Adam Corolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. No choice but to get on. Man, they get on. Janiyah Thomas in studio. Worked as the black media manager for President Trump. Um... In town, in perfect timing because of the whole Southern Poverty Law Center business. I guess we can get into that. Good to see you.
Yes, thanks for having me.
I guess I would have to ask this to all black conservatives or folks that are associated with Trump in any way, shape, or form. How are you doing with your family?
That's a heavy question.
My family hates me and my politics as well, but it's not as bad probably as you.
Yeah. I mean, like starting off, I had a lot of like hard conversations with family members. Some don't want to talk to me anymore. Then like I told this story before, but like my aunt and I stopped speaking for like a couple of months.
And you were close previous to that?
Very close. And she ended up having a stroke, like, right before the CNN debate. And then by the time I got home, like, my dad was like, well, don't rush home. Like, you're not going to change anything or whatever. So by the time I flew to Virginia, she had passed. And, like, you know, that's something I've been, like, dealing with the last two years. But I tell everybody, like, none of this, whether you're on the right, the left, like, none of this is worth falling out with family members over. And, like, it's really hard to, like, you know, separate the politics from the person, but I'm like, what about me is a different person? Like, how am I a different friend today than I was pre that, you know?
Well, also people on, you know, it's that way. It's basically, if you feel the way we feel and you live in Hollywood, you've essentially fallen out with everybody because that's where we live. But what I want to say to those people is, can you, could you imagine if, Putting yourself in our shoes, like I know you hate Trump or you love Gavin Newsom or you love Kamala Harris or you love Karen Bass or you love whomever. These are inept decisions. sometimes corrupt, dumb, destructive politicians. Am I not allowed to have opinions about Joe Biden?
Exactly.
Joe Biden was mentally compromised, his son is a grifter drug addict, and did nothing but hurt this country and stoke racial division. Can I have some thoughts about your guy? Who is your guy? Exactly. Kamala Harris is...
horrible i would not want her running a small supermarket that my parents owned i would not i would not so what are we comparing our guy to yeah a hundred percent like the president's the polar opposite of that sometimes people might not like the way he says things but it's very direct and i think that's what helped him get elected is because i think people are tighter seeing the like clintons and like the obamas and like you know the Like establishment type candidate.
They're like circle talkers. Yeah. I don't even know what they want. They want everyone to stand up and fight for justice. Yeah. They're not going to rest until everybody has equal justice or something. And then they go back to Martha's Vineyard. Exactly. That's the end of their work, you know. And people love it.
Exactly. And I'm like, this is a copy and paste over and over again, just different generations.
Well, you know, I've said this a million times. I don't get why more people of color aren't insulted by these guys talking about not, you know, maybe it's you can't have access to an ID.
