The Great Chinese Art Heist with Ralph Pezzullo + Media Cover-Ups with Alex Thompson

Adam Carolla Show

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.
