Dems Get More Extreme and ALIENATE Voters
"Democrats' ideas are now so batshit crazy that it's going to eliminate a lot of normal people. Like, if you're a normal human being and you've run a business and you've started a family and you pay your bills and you pray to your God, then you're not going to get involved with the Democratic Party because they're nuts. And, you know, men are women and women are men and, you know, no borders and eliminate the police."
Comedian Adam Carolla argued on Megyn Kelly's show that the Democratic Party's embrace of transgender ideology, open borders, and defunding police has made it impossible for normal, business-owning, family-oriented people to run as Democrats. He claimed only sociopaths and narcissists are willing to enter Democratic politics now, given both the extreme policy positions and the intense scrutiny candidates face. Carolla contrasted today's Democratic Party with the Bill Clinton era, suggesting Clinton himself wouldn't run as a Democrat in 2025.

About this episode

Megyn Kelly and comedian Adam Carolla dissected the state of the Democratic Party and cultural orthodoxies around gender ideology in a wide-ranging conversation focused on Michigan's Senate race and institutional capture. The discussion centered on Democratic Senate candidate Elisa Slotkin, who Kelly accused of adopting an exaggerated Michigan accent similar to Representative Jasmine Crockett's vocal transformation, with audio comparisons showing dramatic shifts in her speaking style. Carolla argued that Democratic policies have become so extreme—citing men in women's sports, open borders, and defunding police—that normal people with businesses and families can no longer run as Democrats, leaving only narcissists and sociopaths willing to enter the party's politics. The conversation highlighted testimony from UCLA and UCSF medical school leaders who refused to state before Congress that biological men cannot have babies, deflecting repeatedly to discussion of transgender patients. Carolla characterized this as the most successful propaganda campaign in history, forcing educated professionals in their 60s to publicly deny biological reality they privately understand. The hosts also criticized Representative Seth Moulton for claiming to oppose boys in girls' sports after the 2024 election while continuing to vote against protections for female athletes. Carolla used COVID-19 responses as a litmus test for authenticity, contrasting blue-collar workers who continued working without masks against Hollywood figures who embraced lockdowns and mandates. Kelly noted that according to the largest survey of swing state voters, transgender athletes in girls' sports was the number one issue in the 2024 election, yet Democratic politicians continue voting against restrictions despite public statements suggesting concern.
