But according to Adam Carolla, sometimes \u201csorry\u201d merely leads to more suffering.<\/p>\n<p>Reporter John Stossel recently interviewed Adam about his unusual place in entertainment: He\u2019s accepted by leftwing peers, despite many outspoken opinions that were once radically mainstream yet are now considered \u201cconservative.\u201d He routinely makes statements the vast majority of Hollywood surely wouldn\u2019t go near, but none are ever followed by mea culpas.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s certainly not scared to squat over sacred cows. In February, he <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/02\/04\/adam-carolla-ripped-for-claiming-no-one-would-like-aoc-if-fat-and-old\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posed<\/a> the following to Sean Hannity:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s a quick thought experiment: If <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/mike_miller\/2022\/09\/08\/woman-of-color-aoc-fears-shes-not-going-to-be-alive-in-september-and-the-reason-is-ridiculous-n624124\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AOC<\/a> was fat and in her 60s, would anyone listen to another thing she ever said?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c[S]he\u2019s young, she\u2019s vibrant, she\u2019s beautiful, and everyone\u2019s always putting a camera and a mic in her face. But her opinions are idiotic 95 percent of the time. And I don\u2019t think, if she was a middle-aged heavy-set woman, anyone would care what she had to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Talking with longtime news man John in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iYfh4Pua06A&amp;feature=emb_imp_woyt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a> posted Tuesday, Adam repeated his claim for those who missed it:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf she was in her 60s and husky, nobody would listen to a word she ever said because she sounds like an idiot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>His initial assertion of such brought condemnation from across the aisle. But he won\u2019t say he\u2019s sorry \u2014 if he did\u2026he\u2019d be sorry:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cApologizing just leads to more apologizing. \u2026 They want you to apologize because they want dominion over you. And once you apologize, they just keep coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[embedded content]\n<p>When it comes to backlash, he\u2019s an unusual guy \u2014 by Hollywood standards:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI just happen to be wired not to care as long as I\u2019m right.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the arena of wokeness, criticism appears prohibited \u2014 unless it\u2019s exclusively one-sided. John recalled our open-minded era of yore:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt is a new thing in the media not to talk to the other side. All my career, we had arguments and we learned from that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Why have things changed? Adam has an idea, so far as the Left is concerned:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI believe that they would let the other side speak if they thought they could beat them in a debate. They don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If they let <em>him<\/em> speak, they\u2019re in for a lot of listening; Carolla\u2019s not short on ideas.<\/p>\n<p>About <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/alexparker\/2022\/03\/16\/crate-training-adam-carolla-offers-a-disturbing-explanation-for-governments-masking-of-kids-n537004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COVID regulations in school<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou cannot train a dog when it\u2019s middle-aged. You\u2019ve got to get them when they\u2019re puppies. And get them trained up and into that crate. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing with kids. Because this will not be the last emergency. And it will not be the last time the government and the governor and the mayor need to exact their power. \u2026 And so, \u2018Let\u2019s get the kids into the crate. Let\u2019s get them coached up. And then, they\u2019ll be ours. We can do whatever we want with them after that. They\u2019ll listen to anything. They\u2019ll be good subjects.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/alexparker\/2020\/07\/13\/adam-carolla-free-speech-stephani-hamill-cancel-culture-n247685\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">self-esteem<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe started\u2026in earnest with this self-esteem movement, that it\u2019d be really good if everyone had high self-esteem. And the way you get high self-esteem is through accomplishing things that are tough. But you can\u2019t just hand people high self-esteem and tell them they\u2019re the best and they don\u2019t need to listen to anybody, and nothing they can do is wrong. And when you do that, you create a monster, essentially. You create horrible citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On identity politics and <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/alexparker\/2022\/01\/29\/adam-carolla-perfectly-points-out-how-dumb-our-society-has-become-n514364\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spokespeople such as Al Sharpton<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s\u2026interesting that we\u2019ve decided \u2014 as a society \u2014 that if something happens to an individual, we just find another individual that sort of looks like that person, and they [can] comment on it. \u2026 When I was 12, I looked like Donnie Osmond. So if Donnie Osmond got in a plane crash, would they come to me for commentary?

Adam told John there\u2019s no stopping \u2014 and no apologies:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t really have a choice as to what I say. It has to be the truth all the time.
