Popular comedian and podcast host Adam Carolla made an appearance on “The Sage Steele Show,” in June where he announced that he would be joining the ranks of those making an exodus out of California due to horrific leftists policies and the sucky quality of life in the state which is mostly caused by insanely high taxes and a spike in the crime rate.
I guess Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom watched the John Carpenter film, “Escape From L.A.,” and thought it was a playbook rather than a piece of entertainment, because the hellscape in the movie is the road the state he governs is headed down.
Check out more of what Carolla had to say via The American Tribune:
Taking a few parting shots at California Governor Gavin Newsom, to whom he referred as “sociopathic” and as a “buffoon,” Mr. Carolla said, speaking to Sage Steele on her “The Sage Steele Show,” that he simply couldn’t live in his former, longtime home since childhood of Los Angeles anymore because “it’s horrible.” That is a major change for him, as he grew up in LA and kickstarted his comedy career there. Regardless, he said it is “time to move.”
Speaking to Steele about how he had to stay in California as his children finished high school, but will be leaving ASAP now that their senior year is wrapping up. He said, “I have twins, and they’re in their senior year of high school and I couldn’t- I didn’t want to pick up and, you know, tear up their roots, you know? So people always go, ‘When are you leaving?’ And I go, I will be attending their high school graduation in a U-Haul.”
He continued, commenting on what his desire to leave shows about California and its disastrous current state, saying, “That’s a sad testimonial about California and sort of recent downturn in L.A. as well, because growing up out here, nobody left. You’d be a fool to leave, you know. And the notion of moving out of L.A. and going to like one of the Carolinas or Nashville…”
Carolla then discussed how the Great Exit from California is sort of shocking given the fact that, once upon a time, before the dark lords took over and became radical socialists, it was the one place where folks from the rest of the nation wanted to live.
“You watch the beginning of ‘The Beverly Hillbillies,’ they lived over here and then they came to where we are, and I was already there. Moving to a place like Wyoming or something would have been unfathomable, unheard of,” the comedy legend said during the interview.
He went on to say during the conversation say that he looked at 15 different states as possible places to live, a list that included Texas, Florida, the Carolinas, and even Tennessee.
He then explained, “And that’s sad because I don’t even have a place that I need to go. There’s a difference between going ‘I want to live out my retirement years in Maui’ or ‘I got to move to Arizona because I have bronchitis’ or something.”

Continuing, and explaining why his move is purely because California has become unliveable and he can’t be there anymore, saying, “This ain’t that. This is just I have to leave. I don’t even know where I’m going. This isn’t me cheating on you for another woman. This is ‘I hate you so much. I’m moving into a motel room and not dating for six years.’”
Then, speaking about California getting worse and worse with no end in sight, Newsom said, “I say to a lot of people like, when’s it end? When do we change course? And the number one answer is, ‘We haven’t bottomed out yet. We’re getting near it. We haven’t totally bottomed out.’ And then I say, ‘Why is it necessary to bottom out?’”
“It’s like saying, you know, I was looking for some stuff in my son’s room and I found some syringes and a baggie of heroin. But he hasn’t flatlined yet, okay? I have not walked in and seen foam coming out of his mouth or him convulsing. And you go, ‘Yeah, I know, but why don’t you get him in some treatment now?’ And you go ‘Because his heart hasn’t stopped yet.’ And it’s like, ‘Yeah, I know, but why do we have to bottom out?’ We know where we’re going. Let’s reverse course. California and Los Angeles can’t do it,” he continued.
Carolla then went on a rant against Newsom, which was well deserved, telling the host of the program, “We get what we deserve, and we deserve it. I mean, my mom right before she died, I was like, ‘Listen, I’d rather let Larry Elder be the governor than Newsom. And she’s like, ‘I don’t know about’ – what’s funny about her- super progressive White lady, but Larry Elder being Black doesn’t mean anything to her because he’s on the wrong side, right?… So she goes, ‘I don’t know who Larry Elder is, but I know Gavin Newsom’s a Democrat.’ And I’m like, that’s how we vote. Like Dumbo moms. It’s like ride or die with Gavin Newsom. And it’s like, can you just admit you made a mistake and try something else? And it’s like, no, we cannot.”
The epic dismantling of Newsom continued with the comedian stating, “He says nothing. He says nothing. He’s a sociopathic, narcissistic, empty bag. And we vote for this guy. He says nothing.” Shortly later, he added, “He’s a buffoon. He’s an idiot. I said to him what’s going on with traffic? We have such horrible traffic in L.A., especially, the worst in the world. Like, why aren’t we doing something about it. Why isn’t there a plan? Where’s our traffic czar? What’s going on? He goes, ‘I saw this billboard. I kind of liked it. It said, ’You’re not in traffic. You are traffic.’ It doesn’t mean anything. The point is, that’s how he talks.”
I don’t think anyone can blame Carolla or anyone else with more than two functioning brain cells from wanting to beat feet out of California. The place is an absolute cesspool of vile wickedness. In fact, I can’t think of another place in this country that I would consider to be a total demonic stronghold than Hollywood, which is really considered to be the heart of the state. Think about that for a moment.
Time to flee toward greener pastures.
