It's time to check Adam's voicemail. Adam, how's it going? You rule later. You can leave us a message at 8886341744.

Yeah, Adam Yenzer's in studio. Adam's got dates. He's got his Dry Bar special, which is very good. Um, he's got an Emmy award, writing for Ellen all those years and, uh, doing standup everywhere. Got a YouTube show, The Cancelled News.

Yep. Uh, now he has the news. What do you got? Well, speaking of Emmy awards, uh, Bill Mer the news, Bill Maher says he'll never win an Emmy because of woke Hollywood.

Oh, yeah. Liberal comedian Bill Maher took a swipe at his woke peers in Hollywood who refused to give him trophies at awards shows. Well, you know, I think I will say this. Um, as a guy who's worked in late night and and written for late night and and sort of watched everything, um, Bill is quite consistently good and sort of gets over the target a lot like like whatever side of the aisle you're on, you can watch one of his clips from New Rules or something and go, "Yeah, yeah, that guy's bringing it." Like be holding to one side or the other. He says his his mind.

Yeah. And he does a he does a a a nice job. And the fact that he's been doing it for 30 years basically, he's never going to win an Emmy, which is such a weird It's a weird It's I don't know what they know. Like I don't know how much of this is intentional and how much of it is just reflexive or something, but it's like at a certain point, okay, let's just put it to you. I'll put it to you this way. John Stewart ostensibly does the same thing Bill Maher does. They they're they're middle older middle-aged comedians who have been knocking around for years and years and years. They're both skilled standups. They both have a strong sort of like editorial mind and they both essentially do the same thing.

It's just that John Stewart attacks the right and Bill Maher sort of attacks everyone, which means he's gotten off the reservation if you're on the left. Um, you can look it up, but I would go ahead and assume that John Stewart has 151 Emmys.

Oh, he's and and he's got zero. Bill Maher's got zero. So, if you're trying to kind of explain this phenomenon to somebody, it'd have to be the politics.

Yeah. And it also say the odds don't add up because here's his quote. He said, "Sweetheart, I've been nominated for 33 Emmys and they would never give it to me." Uh, that's not a gag number. That's a real number. It's crazy. So, they sort of pay lip service to nominating him. Yes.

But you get 33 nominations for all the years he's been on Late Night and never get a win. She is uh John Stewart has won 23. Um and I don't know what he's you know he's probably 23 out of 34 or something like that but Bill Maher's O for 33. Um what was that soap box uh soap box actress Christina Reichi or whatever her name was or whatever

said you really like me. No. Well sort of. She was Susan Luchi. Susan Luchi got Susan Luchi got nominated like 21 times for That's my life or something and then never won and then won or whatever.

Now, did she attack the right on her on her soap operas? Bill Maher has won once out of a total of 41. Okay.

Yeah. So, he won for uh he's had dozens of Emmy nominations for Real Time and his previous late night show, Politically Incorrect, as well as his various stand-up specials. He did win an Emmy as executive producer of HBO's documentary series Vice.

So he was like a producer. That's not a win. That's like how I cheated my way in with Ellen. It's like I was writing for her. So when the show wins, then I I get one. But they're daytime Emmys.

Yeah. All right. So that's not him winning once. That's if you're a producer on a show, whatever. So, look, Bill is very skilled and John Stewart is very skilled, but John Stewart stays very consistently against the right, against the Republicans. And Bill says stuff that angers the left

because it's truthful and they don't like that. Men being women and women and men and that kind of stuff. So, he gets screwed and that's why. And he shall never win one cuz he'll run. Listen, I uh I have always known this. I've I've done a bunch of highquality documentaries and never gotten into Sundance. So, they and they told me they pretty much just went I that guy's a douche. I don't I don't like that guy.

That's what your rejection letter says. It's like what I get. It says, "Sorry, we reviewed your submission. You're

Well, let's put it I'll put it to you this way. If you take the average Rotten Tomato score

of a comedy that gets into Sundance, it's in the low 50s. I submitted something that would have been in the 80s and 90s with the people and the report back was the guy wasn't a fan, which is code for Adam's a douchebag and we don't want him crashing our party. So whatever doc I made or whatever feature I made would not would get submitted to Sundance and then rejected. And then you go look at the average score on Sundance and stuff's in the 30s and the 40s and the 50s and my stuff's in the 80s and 90s

but it shall not be brought in and that's the business. It's always a thing on Rotten Tomatoes where the audience score is like in the '9s or and the critics is low and then it's vice versa depending on the

right now this movie the hammer that I made predated the sort of fiddling with the critics. So this one was

I don't know 81 or 82 with the critics and like 90 or 92 with the thing. That's back when you could do that. Now, if I made a movie, it would be 12 with the critics and 95 with the with the people cuz they don't they don't go for that.

Yeah. Yeah. So, he's right. And and all it does is ruin your franchise. It ruins Emmys or Golden Globes, Oscars. Everyone just kind of go, "Yeah, all right. What's the thing that where they hated Trump the most? Okay, give it to them." You know, I mean, like this stupid um what film what film I had it written in front of me. one thing, one bad thing after another. Something. It's a crappy film. It's really It's well shot, but it's not it's not good. It's it's

it's a fever dream for a leftist. It's It's comical. It's insane. And Sean Penn's characters comically nuts and the whole thing's a mess, but it's going to win because it's like tough, you know, women of proud women of color standing up to blah blah blah white guys, you know, like it's it's a joke.

It's not well it's not a well-written movie. It's not a well-written movie. Uh DiCaprio's good and the soundtrack's good and it's shot well, but one battle after another is going to win everything because it's got the right theme and and when you do that, you hurt your franchise.

Yeah. It already won at the Golden Globes, I think. And that's it feels like all of these award shows are losing relevance because of that because mainstream America, they're not seeing the movies that they appreciate win. Well, you know, the thing that I always say is mainstream America wants a meritocracy. It's got the word America right in it. And you guys, nobody touches the Super Bowl.

Mhm. And there's no questions. It's like, I don't know, we got the playoffs coming up. We're in the playoffs. you know, this team has a white quarterback, that team has a black quarterback, but we just assume that's the best they could do. Not that they're trying to do some sort of EEOC, affirmative action job. So, it's all meritocracy. And and look, there's you could have a Super Bowl where the whole defensive side of the ball was black

and we just go good. Yeah. Cuz I want them to win. You know what I mean? Y well when you start handing out best Oscar for best film to like Moonlight and stuff like semi crappy movies that nobody wants to see. And by the way, don't take my word for it. They never show up on cable. No one ever watches them again.

You didn't watch Moonlight after your Super Bowl party. I watch it during the Super Bowl. All right. No, they have when a film typically wins best picture, you know, of On the Waterfront or Gone with the Wind or something or, you know, Wizard of Oz. They have a life beyond that date right?

Y Moonlight got best picture. No one's ever No one's ever said, "Oh, what are you doing? I was going to watch Moonlight." Like, it doesn't exist. It's a kind of shitty, depressing film.

It's not the most rewatchable movie. No. No. So, yes, they [ __ ] up their own franchise. Bill is right. Yeah. Uh, some sad news. Dilbert creator Scott Adams died at 68. Uh, President Donald Trump just paid tribute to Scott Adams sharing a photo of them together in the Oval Office. Uh, he referred to the late cartoonist as a fantastic guy who supported him when it wasn't popular to do so. And um, Adam's first wife uh, ex-wife Shelley revealed the news during a live stream on Real Coffee with Scott Adams. So, we have her comments here reading a letter from him.

I had an amazing life. I gave it everything I had. If I got any benefits from my work, I'm asking that you pay it forward as best as you can. That the legacy I want. That's the legacy I want. Be useful. And please know I loved you all to the very end. Scott Adams.

Scott was a good dude. And mainly he was he was a he was a he was thoughtprovoking. He'd go, "Oh, yeah. Oh, I hadn't thought about that."

I wouldn't call us friends, but I really appreciated his work. Drew was Dr. Drew is a good friend and him and him and Gutfeld actually went to go visit Scott a couple of weeks ago.

Uh, and Scott, I guess, kind of knew was coming for sure had some some steps in the in the right direction maybe six months ago and then it just kind of fell off. But he's just a guy who was super logical and super pragmatic and that's really we are missing that. He didn't have any of that. Like in my heart I know. I feel like I dream of a world where all children have world class health. Okay. You dream of that world. That's awesome.

Yeah. He's very rational. Yes. He he very pragmatic, very smart, very interested in the human condition, thoughtful, interesting, and uh will be missed because that's a guy whose voice we'll need. Like we don't need

Sophia Vagara. We could get rid of some of the voices. She Well, I'm not saying die, but at least shut up for a minute. Just don't talk.

You're not telling me anything, but he he had a voice. Yes. And in his uh letter, this kind of speaks to his his rational mindset that you were talking about in the letter dated January 1st, 2026, he reveals uh he's still of sound mind and that he's converting to Christianity in his final days because of the riskreward calculation. So, he kind of talked about how the the risk or reward of accepting Jesus or not

on his deathbed before he passed. Mhm. All right. Well, like I said, um there are plenty of people I don't miss, but he he will be missed.

He will. Yeah. Uh California news. California's voter ID law hits 1 million signatures uh as Elon Musk blasts. The only reason to pose it is to commit fraud.

Do you I I you know, I'm listening to the Supreme Court. They're arguing over men participating in women's sports. And then there's another talk about voter ID. And

I feel like we sort of argue over nothing. Oh yeah. And and we also argue over a bunch of sort of no duh or no [ __ ] kind of stuff. Like

absolutely. Look, I get I I felt this way. I felt this way about many relationships I've been in. Like I don't even know what we're arguing about. I'm I'm trying to make sure this is good or help or stop this from happening. It's not like

you caught me cheating. I'm trying to do something for you or whatever it is. And like we're arguing about it, which I think is very sort of gynofascistic, which I'm now starting to really start thinking about. Like everything in Cal California is just all run by Chick Think and we just argue about everything. Listen,

your ID I mean once in a while somebody will do one of those insane memes where they go, "Here's what you need your ID for." It's 200,000 things except for vote in California. Look, I think if if we've established, okay, let's see if we can break it down beyond politics. We have established you need your ID because things are important or not important, but important such as I just got back from doing shows in Denver. It's ID, ID, ID, ID. I if if I'm Mike and I are behind the counter in Burbank and Aunt Esther's asking us for our ID to give us our boarding passes and I don't say mind your own beeswax [ __ ] cuz I will not get on that plane.

You didn't say this is racist. How would that person have an ID right now? Right. And then then I said that then if I said to someone I don't get it. Why do I have to show an ID? They go because we need to know who you are because it's important.

And I'd go okay. And when you buy beer and you're 23, they want to see your ID because they don't want to sell it to an underage thing, whatever. And when you check into the hotel, it's more ID. And if you do any venue or anything and the answer is sort of like, well, it's important. Now, you don't need an ID to walk onto the beach and lay down, but that's not really important, you know, and you couldn't you may not affect things or hurt anybody else. But I would argue that the same people are talking about how voting is the most important thing a citizen can do. Well, then is it more important than getting on an airplane or buying a pack of cigarettes or checking into a hotel? And if it is, then why shouldn't we show our ID? Which is the weird thing. But I have a bigger broader one, Adam. And I I [ __ ] mean it. And and listen, [ __ ] everyone with your with your voting [ __ ] It is 2026.

If you do not possess an ID, you do not participate in our system whatsoever. You are not participating. You're not paying taxes. You're not traveling. You're not doing any. I I don't even know how it is you would say that you are a member of our society with no ID.

Yeah. You can't do anything with no ID. So, I don't even want you to vote because why are you making policy? I'm the one paying all the [ __ ] taxes and you're the one with no [ __ ] ID. So, if you don't have an ID, you do not exist in this society. And the only possible reason you could want someone to vote without an ID is for election fraud. There's no other reason. And the fact that these guys can do it with a straight face

Oh, yeah. is insane in 2026. And it makes me more and more suspicious. I've always been somebody who's I know that there is voter fraud and I think we should be doing everything to stop it. I was never like a big stop the steel person,

but then it's the more and more that the Democrats push against. No, we don't want ID. No, it's like you're trying to Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to have it insecure?

Remember, see, this is this is that thing. It's Oh, now they can never say what they want.

So, they have to come up with some other [ __ ] excuse. So, look at it. this way and then you tell me. Um Biden leaves the [ __ ] border wide open. He come he he commisss Kamala dumbshit Harris to be the borders are who won't go to the border. And there's tons of footage of oodles throngs of people just streaming across it. Right. They're going into Texas. Okay. The governor of Texas says, "You know what? if you're not going to [ __ ] do anything at the border, I'm going to pile up shipping containers at the edge of the Rio Grand and try to prevent you from coming over.

And the Biden administration sues them to take them down. So, are they in are what do they want?

Yeah, it's now they want Well, you go, "What do you want, Joe Biden? I want a secure border." Okay. Why are you suing Texas to get them to pull the shipping containers out if you want security

and have remove barb wire and remove barb wire? They don't want they don't want any of it. They want [ __ ] borders. They want illegals and they want them to vote. And if you would have said to me that 5 years ago, I would have went, "Oh, come on. Get the hell out of here." It I don't know what other conclusions we can draw anymore.

Well, here's the excuse they have. Uh Steven Richer, the former Maricopa County recorder in Arizona who was in charge of voter registration said he is concerned that vote by mail ID provisions. So in this provision, the main change would be you have to put the last four digits of your ID number in the mailin ballot. And they say it could discourage some people from sending ballots because uh they'll be nervous about putting sensitive information in the mail.

Okay. Well, then don't vote, dumb [ __ ] You got to flash that ID every 10 ft in this society. All right. You don't want to know. You like mail and ballots. You want election day to be a month. You love all the [ __ ] that corrupts elections.

Yeah. So why? And it is like you were saying when you compared it to relationship fights is you have to find a negative a negative motive to assign to the other person. So everybody supports voter ID overwhelmingly. I think it's 80% of the country. It's even 53% of Democrats. But they have to say, "No, you're doing this because you're you want to disenfranchise people. You have to come up with a negative."

They play the racist card to get you to shut when they when they don't have any stats, statistics, or reason. Then they play the race card to shut you up, which used to work,

but it doesn't work. And by the way, they never tell us their plan for getting these disenfranchised black potential voters an ID. Just give me the what's the plan then? They don't have IDs. Well, what are we doing here? Well,

yeah, they should have gotten to the root causes. Get to the root causes. Yeah, get to the roots causes.

Yeah. Um, in other California news, California has lost a mind-boggling one trillion dollars in wealth in the past month alone over fears of a billionaire tax. Uh, California has lost a trillion dollars over fears of this proposed billionaire tax. According to one of the state's wealthiest residents, the underfire measure, which even leftist Gavin Newsome opposes, would slap a one time 5% tax on residents worth more than a billion dollars. Well, obviously there is, okay, there's a situation. Okay, if you go, we have a home and it's winter and the heating bill is through the roof. we need to do something about this heating bill. It's too expensive. And then I would say, "Well, every sliding glass door and window in this [ __ ] house is wide open. Why don't you shut it?" And then you'd go, "Shut up. We need a bigger furnace." And then I'd go, "Well, I'll tell you what. I think you could have a better furnace and close the

windows." And then I go, "Why don't we close all these windows?" And they go, "We're gonna go burn down a Tesla dealership." if you keep talking that way. So, my thing is is there is a math where you just ring every penny out of everybody who pays taxes and you could keep up with your spending. But I'm arguing an approach where you stop spending so much and wasting so much and giving so much away and fraud.

Yeah. Uh and then you wouldn't have to go milk the guys that are already keeping the lights on by paying all the [ __ ] taxes in your shitty state. So, they have a mode that is never closed to window mode. It's always what's going on with the furnace and why isn't the furnace paying its fair share. And I'm like, shut all the windows. I don't know. Look, it's real simple. You spend more money than comes in. So, there's two solutions. There's get more money, but these guys are already at about 50%.

So, I would argue that's already high. So why not shut a window, which they won't do because that's their constituents.

It's the very angry dad solution. It's close the windows and turn the lights off before you leave. Right.

Yes. Close the They b they waste billions of dollars and they argue with I mean 10 seconds ago Doge just came around and went like, "Hey, I think we're wasting too much money." And you guys all freaked out and started attacking them. Well, and do you also feel I feel like because this is the billionaire tax, there's a thing on the left whenever they want to come up solutions to this problem, it's always everyone richer than me should pay more money. Bernie Sanders

and everyone lower than me. Yeah. Bernie, they should give it to them, but whatever I make is fine.

Bernie Sanders for the first 81 years of his life complained about millionaires. And then somebody tapped him on his shoulder and said, "Hey, old [ __ ] guess who else is a millionaire with three houses?" And he went, "What?" And he went, "You're a millionaire." And he went, "Fine, make it billions." Yeah.

And so now he complains about billions. He switched like two years ago from millions to billions because someone had explained to him that he was a billion

too. So yeah, it's real simple. But also dumb people don't go for this. No. And it's a dumb strategy because the problem here that they're talking about in this article is that they plan to tax these billionaires and now the billionaires are just leaving California. So we're losing revenue in all these businesses. Uh the co-founder of Google, Larry Page, moved a lot of his businesses out. I I think I here's what I haven't said this in a while, but young young Adam with fresh ears will listen. Listen to me. Listen to me.

Government people, you are in government mainly because you're stupid and can't run your own business. you are choosing not to be in the private sector because you would not do well in the private sector because you're not smart enough and you're not hardworking enough, you're not anything enough.

So, you've entered the government. Now, you have a plan where you're going to play chess with people that are much smarter than you who are private sector billionaires. And the reason that guy's a billionaire is not because he gives away his money to [ __ ] to waste it. He's smarter than you are. So you come up with a plan and then he counters with another plan. And you get checkmated and that's all this ever is. They go, "We're going to do a thing where we charge 5% or 10% and a house is over." And they go, "All right, I'm going to sell my h what's the cut off? $7 million. I'm gonna sell my house for $699.99 and then I'll save 5% then they'll kick back on whatever they'll do what they have to do because you think about our government. I mean you think about how you got to outwit Maxine Waters everybody.

The bar is set very high. The bar is set very high. You better be a master chess champion. A grand champion

and you have to look at her just grimacing frowning face staring at you. Have you seen how dumb a lot of these [ __ ] people are? And it's, you know, Gloria Sanchez Esquea from the city council is going to out. You think she's,

you think Elon Musk is not going to be able to get one over? I don't even know if that was a real name or fake name. It It sounded totally credible.

I made up a name. Whenever they have three, this always makes him dumb. And she's the first Latina. And she's trying to argue with Elon and Elon's going to pick it all up and move it to Texas. And you idiots are going to be left with nothing because they're in the business of making money. You're in the business of wasting money. So, you're fine.

Yeah. You're always will have business. These people have to make these decisions. They have stockholders. And Elon's the perfect example you're talking about where they try to they're trying to outsmart people that are way smarter than them cuz they hate Elon now. And there's even I see people on social media comment that they think he's unintelligent or he's they they try to talk down on him. And it's like he's built billions of different corporate. Now we're getting into like major chick think where chick with hero studies major from the junior college

that's what she majored what has Elon Musk ever done nothing like okay he thinks he's smart he not smart he's dumb all right all right keep talking I now you sound a little dumb where was there was a woman there really was a city council woman in San Diego that about 5 years ago she was just like, "Fuck Elon Musk. Get the hell out." Like, "Just get just leave." And he's like, "All right, I'll take I'll take me and my 17,000 jobs.

I'll leave in a rocket and then catch it in Texas." Yeah. Catch it. Yeah. Right. Right. And you you invented a recipe for g I was going to say gpacho, but ever since Tim Wall said gaspachio instead of gestapo, now I get confused. Uh yeah, I got to find that clip. It is a great It's a great clip. It's San Diego's councilwoman telling Elon to go [ __ ] off, basically is what it what it was. Uh yeah, the person who famously tweeted, "Fuck Elon Musk is Lorena Gonzalez."

That's almost the name you just made up. Esquea Sanchez, who at the time was a California State Assembly member, not a San Diego city council woman. She resigned from the assembly in January 2022 to lead the California Labor Federation. See, now we have dopes. We have someone who tells Elon Musk to [ __ ] off running a labor organization. The tweet uh posted in 2020 was in response to Elon Musk's actions and comments regarding the closure of the Tesla Fremont factory. Right. So he's he's moving on. Oh, over over COVID 19. Okay.

So she's always comes back. Uh yeah. So she was a prominent San Diego area politician, later member of the uh San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Ah, she was a state level official

when she tweeted, "All right, so we got a bunch of dumb chicks [ __ ] up everything and we got to fix we're going to have to fix that."

Well, and smart chicks are gets this, too. It says, uh, "Of the billionaires that are leaving In-N-Out, Aerys, Lindsay Snider has relocated to Tennessee and established a new in-n-out corporate office there over this

California everybody away. You chased out In-N-Out Burgers. You chased out the original California 1940s. You chased out In-N-Out, which is gut check time for California. If you get In-N-Out Burger to leave, that means anyone will leave.

Do you ever Do you think this will be the final straw? I always feel like as a Californian, there's all these things that happen. First, it was the COVID lockdowns, then it was like the homeless tent camps everywhere, then it was the fires. Maybe it will be forcing in and out to leave. Like, I always think, what is the last straw that Californians will finally be like, "Ah, I'm not a Republican, but let's try something different." They have a unique ability to kind of stay the course regardless of of anything. I I mean I I grew up with these people. So they don't they're not in the business of ever admitting they're wrong.

Yeah. I mean they literally with a straight face will go like Joe Biden was one of the best presidents this country's ever had. Meanwhile Trump's got some kind of mental disorder. It's like wow you are you really ride this one out, can't you? So that disappers always no my saying is disappers never disappoint meaning all the stupid idiots who make all the horrible decisions and do all the bad voting never learn

from any from from anything that goes wrong now will the people kind of swell up a little and sort of at a certain point go I live in the Palisades and you know I vote Democrat but I've been trying to get a permit for 6 years and I'm I kind of like my permits. I was going to vote for another guy.

There might be some of that. I think there will be. All right, Adam. Good job. Thank you.

By the way, with that uh that news, very strong. Uh I'm going to be in Oregon Friday and Saturday. Grants Pass at the Rogue Theater and then off Saturday to Ben, Oregon at Midtown Ballroom and then New York. Rodney's that'll be the 29th. But lots of shows coming up in New York and DC and I think RFK Jr. is going to come out to U

Kennedy Center. Enjoy it. I know Trump put his name in front of his family's name at the Kenny Center.

He called and wanted to come out. I don't know. That's awesome. That's funny. Adam, you got dates. So, yeah.
