On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam kicks things off with the simple joy of power washing before diving into a broader conversation about how cultures can be judged by how they treat women. He revisits the aftermath of the Southern California wildfires, highlighting the glaring lack of rebuilding progress six months later. Adam also shares his harsh review of the new Jurassic Park movie, then shifts gears to rant about George Michael’s take on monogamy. He reflects on the story of Def Leppard’s one-armed drummer, explores the wild persona of David Lee Roth, and reacts to a hilarious video of a man getting attacked by a squirrel—using it as yet another opportunity to pitch his idea for attack crows.

In the news, the UFC will possibly have an event at the White House as part of America’s 250th birthday celebration. Elon Musk announces the formation of a new political party, the America Party, following his break with Donald Trump. Jason Kelce faces backlash for what some are calling a tone-deaf Fourth of July post amid heated political discourse. Meanwhile, a Texas pediatrician is fired for a cruel social media post suggesting flood victims “got what they voted for,” and Lena Dunham reflects on the criticism surrounding the lack of diversity in her hit HBO series Girls, more than a decade after its debut.

Get it on.

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, New York Times bestselling author Ralph Pezzullo stops by to talk with Adam about the differences in how men and women approach work, and how radical gender ideology has reshaped society in a surprisingly short time. Adam shares his opinion on female aggression, and Ralph explains what led him to write his new book, The Great Chinese Art Heist. The conversation shifts to election integrity, foreign influence, and the dangers of electronic voting machines—prompting Adam to recount his own experience trying to vote in California. They also delve into how foreign adversaries seek to undermine the U.S. and how mainstream media selectively reports stories to push a narrative.

In the news, Mike Dawson joins Adam to break down some headlines: Sean “Diddy” Combs is found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering but convicted on lesser charges; Lia Thomas is stripped of swimming titles at UPenn after administrative pressure; and Los Angeles hotel owners raise the alarm over a looming $30 minimum wage that could shutter businesses citywide. Plus, a harrowing ocean rescue goes viral after a dad jumps from a Disney cruise ship to save his daughter.

Later, journalist and author Alex Thompson calls in to discuss his new book, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, co-written with Jake Tapper. Adam and Alex examine how the media downplayed Biden’s cognitive decline, draw parallels to the media’s handling of COVID, and revisit the Hunter Biden laptop controversy. They wrap up with a big question: What, if anything, can the media do to win back the public’s trust?

Get it on.
