I was listening to the podcast when it went live and was laughing my ass off. Its simple. Gavin brought up "blacks and latinos" and when later cornered by "why those two groups", he wouldn't give a straight answer because like any politician, he reflexively talks in soundbites and wasn't prepared for a long format and real discussion.
Gavin himself circled back many times singling out blacks and latinos. Not Carolla. Carolla kept asking "why those two groups". He wouldn't answer the simple question "whats different about blacks and latinos - that doesn't affect jews or asians or anyone else" and kept dancing in circles around the subject. Its a legitimate question "why aren't Asians and Jews lining up at check cashing places"? Why is it such a crime to talk about it? Why does it make someone a douche? Why is it that the people who always claim to care and want to help are the last people to talk about tough solutions to complex problems and call anyone willing to discuss it a racist?
At the end of it all, a politician said something that bordered on a pre-programmed response to appeal to his voter base that was basically racist in nature and got called out on it and did not have a single answer as to what to do and didn't want to discuss the issue. Willing to say there's a problem. Not willing to discuss who needs to get their shit together or what needs to be done. Not willing to admit families are super important. Not willing to state that fathers need to stay home and raise their kids etc etc etc.
