Adam Carolla: Howard Stern Has Trump Derangement Syndrome

Podcast giant no longer welcome on SiriusXM star's show post-COVID

Adam Carolla and Howard Stern seem like a perfect radio duo.

Carolla helped create the current podcast revolution by shooting from the comedic hip. Stern revolutionized radio with his anything-goes shtick.

It explains why Carolla has visited Stern’s New York City studio in the past.

Stern no longer invites Carolla on his SiriusXM-based radio show. Carolla suspects their differences on COVID-19 are to blame. The podcaster saw through the media’s pandemic lies early on and routinely slams Dr. Anthony Fauci for his serial transgressions.

Stern hunkered down in his home long after people resumed their daily lives, panicked at the thought of catching the virus.

That isn’t the only difference between the talkers. 

Carolla sees through Vice President Kamala Harris’s joy and vibes shtick. He knows she can’t defend the Biden administration’s record and is no friend to free speech.

Carolla supported Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. earlier in the year but is far from a MAGA voter.

Stern, who morphed from a quasi-Libertarian to hardcore progressive in his 60s, is another White Dude for Harris.

That confounds Carolla.

The podcaster explored the issue with Dr. Drew Pinsky this week on “The Adam and Dr. Drew Show.

“I was listening to Stern the other day, and he was explaining the reason you had to vote for Kamala Harris … if you have grandchildren so they can live in freedom,” Carolla said as Dr. Pinsky laughed in shock.

“Wow! That’s so weird,” Dr. Pinsky said.

“He’s so earnest about it. And I have no idea what he’s talking about.” Carolla said.

“Brainwashing, I guess?” Dr. Pinsky mused.

“I guess it’s Trump Derangement Syndrome. But what freedom are we speaking of? [Florida Governor] Ron DeSantis tried to keep things open and [California Governor] Gavin Newsom tried to shut everything. What are you talking about?” Carolla said, highlighting the differences between the two parties.
