The California fire tragedy continues. And joining us now is a legend who has been speaking out against wokeism. And himself, he wanted to be a firefighter. And he actually has a story there.
We'll play that in a second. But it's a very troubling day. Adam Carolla, welcome to the program. Adam, are you and your family safe?
Yeah, we are. I am in Malibu. It's right where the fire blew through. Everything around where I am is destroyed. I was asked to evacuate on Tuesday night. I did and haven't been able to return, obviously. And I'm not really sure what the status is of my home. Although, you know, it's not looking good because literally everything around it was destroyed.
Goodness gracious, Adam, I'm so sorry to hear that. And thank you for taking the time in the midst of all of this unspeakable horror. How are you thinking about this, and how can you explain it to somebody who is having difficulty comprehending how the Los Angeles city government in California refuses to do basic things that could prevent such widespread scale of destruction?
Well, you know, they say actions have consequences, but inactions... have even bigger consequences sometimes meaning doing nothing this is the result of them doing nothing obviously they're putting their efforts into dei hires and environment i mean there there's two major concerns it's how does this impact the environment and then the other major concern is dei those are the two things that the fire department the mayor and the city council Focus on most sharply. Later on, if there's some money and some time left over, we can talk about infrastructure, fire hydrants, water pressure, aqueducts, and so on and so forth. The real focus is on the environment and DEI, and then this happens. And this is no different than announcing your sanctuary city. You just announce it, and everyone pats you on the back,
And then at some point, a couple of busloads of Hondurans get dropped off on your doorstep and you yell, what's going on? That's essentially what this is. And that's how they are sort of globally in Los Angeles. It's all talk. It's all fluff until the fires start or the shooting starts.
So, Adam, I want to play this piece of tape here from a congressional testimony you gave. It's 121, where you explained how you wanted to be a firefighter. Play cut 121.
I could not find a job. I walked to a fire station in North Hollywood. I was 19. I was living in the garage of my family home. My mom was on welfare and food stamps. And I said, can I get a job as a fireman? And they said, no, because you're not black, Hispanic or a woman. We'll see in about seven years. And I went to a construction site and dug ditches and picked up garbage for the next seven years. I got a letter in the mail sent to my father's house saying, your time has come to do the written exam for the LA Fire Department. I took it. And I was standing in line and I had a young woman of color standing behind me in line.
