Carolla Tells Hollywood To ‘Shut Up’ Over ICE
Adam Carolla joined Jesse Watters and wasted no time. He called out Hollywood for weighing in on ICE raids. Short and blunt. He said celebs should mostly keep quiet on this one.
Carolla pointed to a string of moments where public figures, he argued, pushed hard opinions that didn’t pan out. Russia collusion. COVID takes. The Hunter Biden laptop. He used that record to question why actors and other celebrities keep jumping into every debate.
He laid it out directly in the segment. Partial transcript via Overton News:
CAROLLA: “Hollywood should sit this one out.”
CAROLLA: “You idiots were just wrong with Covid like ten minutes ago. Remember?”
CAROLLA: “For four years they were wrong with Covid.”
CAROLLA: “For four years they were wrong with Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia gate.”
CAROLLA: “Hunter Biden’s laptop.”
CAROLLA: “Joe Biden’s sharp man. That guy could do a Rubik’s cube blindfolded.”
CAROLLA: “Remember all that? That was all out of you, Hollywood.”
CAROLLA: “So maybe you guys are wrong about stuff on occasion. Your batting average is horrible, so why don’t you just SHUT UP and sit one out?”
The clip was shared on social platforms. Jesse Watters’ feed included a short clip and a punchy caption that echoed Carolla’s line. The exchange is short and snappy on screen. Listeners either laugh or wince, depending on where they sit.
Some celebrities did speak up. Actress Glenn Close posted strong language about the situation. Her remark was shared in a news post and included this line:
“I am outraged and sickened by what is happening under the Trump regime. The cruelty, inhumanity, and arrogance… and now, the cold-blooded murder of American citizens.”
Carolla and others argue that public figures should pick their moments. Critics say celebrities have a duty to speak out. Both sides have their fans. The debate will keep playing out online and on shows.
Below are the original embeds and posts linked from the segment.
