“Jimmy Dore is outrageous and outraged, bothersome and bothered. A crucial, profane, passionate voice for progressives and free-thinkers in 21st century America. Jimmy will anger you if you’re a conservative and enrage you if you’re a liberal.”—Patton Oswalt

Former “Loveline” host and podcaster Adam Carolla caught Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom off guard with a COVID question Thursday during a NewsNation panel discussion before the first 2024 presidential debate. Newsom notoriously jetted off to Mexico with his family after signing an executive order in November 2021 to extend his state’s COVID-19 emergency rules first instated in March 2020. Carolla went for the jugular when he came at the California governor with an unanticipated line of questioning about why Newsom closed beaches and even had a Malibu paddleboarder arrested.
