He's such a car guy. Jesus asks him to take the wheel. Host of the Adam Carolla show, an author of the great new book, Everything Reminds Me of Something, Adam Carolla. She's so sharp I can't go running with her. Former State Department spokeswoman and founder

My massive sidekick in the NWA World Television Champion, Tyrus. Adam, thank you for your marvelous book. It's like all your other books. It's a fast and fun read.

Thank you. It's like a breezy ride through a sunny day. I don't know why I said that. You just slipped into a douche commercial. I did. I should be walking on the beach. You have that not so fresh feeling? Read my book.

How did you know I didn't read it? So what do you? said something before the show, but I'll let you say. You have a kind of a guttural response to Prince Harry, don't you? I'm bothered by him by a lot, like way more than I should be bothered by him, because I hate ingratitude and ingrates and people who come to this country and beat it up, and it drives me insane. I, Ilhan Omar drives me nuts for the same reason. Like, you came here. We saved you. We put our hand out.

and you're crapping in it. And there's more and more of that in this country. And it drives me saying, especially for super ultra-privileged people who don't do jack squat and have never earned anything in their lives. And by the way, he's got to get the wall trim around and go full Jason Statham at this point.

Yes. At this point. It bugs me. That bothers me. Maybe that's why he hates climate change so much. It's screwing his hair up, man. The heat, the humidity. Yes, yes.

He's got to do what his brother does. You know, he's got the bald thing. Morgan. Morgan, you have a weird relationship with this royal couple, don't you? I've never met Prince Harry. I do think it's particularly strange to have a speech about Nelson Mandela. To have a white guy, a white prince is the one that's remembering Mandela. Maybe we could have picked someone else, right? Maybe someone more in that fashion.

But, yes. I am evading the question. I am evading the question. I try and get out of it. Yeah, I knew. So you were good. friends with her name of it was good friends she we went to a wedding we did some stuff together when she lived in new york um and you know she's um the person that i will say this the person that she is in front of the world today does not surprise me ooh so you're saying

she's a bitch right you can say it she doesn't watch this show yeah well you never know you're the highest rated show in late night she might yeah That's how you do it, Gene, that's how you get out of tough questioning, America. I was a press secretary. I was a press secretary. I should be able to get out of a tough question. That was pretty good. Thank you.

I completely lost my train of thought. Oh, good. It worked. The problem, I think, isn't there the problem that he came here saying that he rejected the entitlements of royalty, and now is it kind of expecting more royalty or more entitlements from America? I, you know, why are we even talking about this guy? Because it's fun.

He is a, like, this dude is the most un-famous royal family. He's the Ringo star of royalty. Like, nobody, he was booed the last time he was home. Like, you haven't seen that since, like, the English famine, where they're, like, booing the royalties and stuff. They don't want him there. Then he comes here, and we don't want him here either. but this is America, so everybody gets to stay. But he's so irrelevant,

and the U.N. is hurting so bad for guests, they literally brought him on. And the one thing he is doing, and I think if I was British, I would be upset. For a long time, British people have had this run of everyone with an English accent is intelligent. Like they're in all the movies, all the professors are always English.

That's true. He's single-handedly going to take it away from them. That's right. The only thing they have. Yeah. Yeah, that's a great point. See, that's why we did it. Yeah.

He's just, he's not even on a list. Like, you can't get any princes. You can't get any royalty. Oh, there's that one guy who keeps calling. Bring him on. Like, live. Yeah. Kat, uh, we'd be too hard on this couple or not hard enough.

No. No on what? All of it. I don't know. I just, he's like the whineest prince ever. Yeah. Like, you're, you're a. prince. I don't know. I mean, it's crazy to be born into such insane levels of privilege. And also he's

and just like wine all the time. He's also not very good at talking, like at all. And he's being offered, you know, triple digit millions from Netflix and all these. It's like, you know, I think that's because you are a prince. So maybe he could at least acknowledge that. Like, hey, like, the fact that I was born a prince, that was good, you know, say something positive every now and that. And that's coming from me. Yeah, no, but I think what they, yeah, you are, it's hard. They want to be the, like, the president and first lady of, like, progressivism.

That's kind of, they felt that that would be their way in. And even in Hollywood, it seems like they're already tired of them, but I don't know. I don't live there. Well, think about what Hollywood does. We take people who pretend to do something and turn them into deities, you know, we're masters at worshipping people who actually do nothing. Like you play a physicist in a movie, you play an action hero, but you really do nothing and kick no but we act as if you do.

And that's why Hollywood loves these idiots. And on that note, don't go anywhere. We'll be right back. The best coast just got better. Introducing Quantum of the Seas sailing from L.A. this fall.

Distrust in the news has the media singing the blues. Finally some self-reflection from the people who swayed in a section. According to a new poll, only 16% of Americans say they have a great deal of confidence in newspapers. And just 11% saying the same for TV news. Even those who shotguned eight beers weren't confident. Those numbers are down 5% since last year, but it may be just a coincidence that the drop coincides with Brian Kilmead getting an extra hour of TV time each week. That was a long way for that one, huh? MSNBC's Katie Tour commented on the in an interview promoting her upcoming book.

People don't trust us. They don't believe us. And it makes me wonder if this job, as I'm currently doing it, is effective. But if it's doing more harm than good. Harmful, ineffective. Is she talking about the media or memories of dating Keith Olberman? It's true. But it's true, the media lies a lot.

Some lies are bad, like saying a border patrols, rains or whips. But some lies are good, like telling the views cast that they're big-boned. But it's unclear if TUR actually... It's terrible. It's terrible. Stop it. You're very cruel. You're all very cruel.

I had nothing to do with that. But it's unclear whether Tours actually planned. to change anything about the way she does her job. I mean, if she thinks her work is hurting people, why not just quit? It's NMSNBC, not the mob. Or maybe pretending to care about the public is just an awful publicity stunt,

which is what you have to do when Pete Davidson's already seeing someone. Cat. I feel like we keep doing this story over and over again, but the numbers keep getting lower and lower. Is that me? No, we do keep doing this over and over again. And there's always somebody who says, yeah, you know, this is concerning that they don't trust us,

but then they don't behave any differently than they were behaving in the ways that made people not trust them in the first place. So it's really easy to acknowledge it, but it's obviously less easy to change it because I don't, does she never said, like, I'm going to do a better job? No. And you know, it's funny when people do these little Zoom promotion calls or whatever, for whatever, they think that it's not like doing television, like it's not going to get out until you tell the truth. She dated Keith Olberman for a while, Adam. Don't you find that fascinating? Well, I do, but maybe she was infected by him in some way. Yes.

You know, maybe she was a right-thinking, sound-minded, patriotic American, and then Keith sort of planted a demon seed in her or something. I've heard that can happen. Yes. I feel like if you brush up against him, Against him, you'll go crazy. He's like a COVID, he's like a COVID, like, a COVID, like, contagion with bad, typhoid Mary, but with crazy ideas that he implants in America.

Tyrus? Do you comment on anything? You know, I think, well, she's clearly trying to sell a book. Right. Exactly. So trying to get someone. Oh, she's going to tell. I already bought it.

Sorry. People are looking for truth. You know, they want a little humor, but they really want truth and they want news and they want facts. And you're not going to get it in those places. Kat, is there a place where someone could go for an evening? Off the top of my head, I would say to come see me in Tyrus at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center on September 23rd at 7 p.m.

Yes. There will be truth. There will be There will be fun and there will be no poop jokes. Yeah. But other than that, we're lost.

Yeah, I don't know. It's not like I said like you can get tickets at Ticketmaster.com. No, she didn't. That would be, that'd be really tacky. But you said anything I wanted.

Yeah, that was very good. That was very good. And it didn't seem planned at all. No. No, no, no, no. We never talk. Hardly know it. Timph, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Like Tyrus and Tiv podcast. Don't you think a distrusted media, Morgan, is a good thing? Because you shouldn't trust the media at all. We're disgusting people. Are you the media? I consider myself part of the media.

Oh, okay. Investigative report. Yes. I'm a hard-bitten journalist. I'm a war correspondent. I correspond here, but I report on the wars. I kind of want to take you to a war. I think it would be fun.

No, you would. I would be the biggest pain in the ass. I'd be asking everybody involved where they go to the bathroom. That's all it would be. That's all it would be. If they have badees, that would be... Exactly. Do they have badees?

There's a reason I never invited you on the Secretary of State's plane. But I just reminded me. I thought it was interesting that she said the quiet part out loud, where she sort of said, well, you know, they don't trust us, and maybe I'm doing more harm in the good. Okay, I thought that was interesting. But I've talked to so many reporters, especially when I was in the Trump administration

and tried to explain to them why half of America doesn't trust them and they really ultimately didn't get it. And I said, don't you remember when like morning Joe cheerleaded for Trump in the primaries and had him on every single day and then you turned on him the minute he got the nomination.

And I went through example after example and I don't think like most of them didn't get it. I would say like AP, all the wire reporters, the old school guys that were not trying to get a cable news contract. I hate that. They were good, but the rest of them, they just, you know, they want, like, I don't know, they want clicks. They don't get it.

They don't get it and they don't care. They want to be activists. Yeah, that's true. You can't tell the difference anymore, you know? Oh, I'll talk. You were looking, we were both looking at each other. It's like, you know, that same look when we go out to lunch and the check lands in the middle of the table. I'm going to use the bathroom.

I'll be back at 45. That's exactly. All right, that's enough. I'm getting the wrong end of this stick tonight. We're out of time. Thank you, Adam Carolla. Buy his book. Buy his buck.

Thank you, Morgan. Ted Tim, Tyrus, our studio audience. Buck, Tuesday night with evil Shannon Braves next. I think I love you, America. Hey, I'm Trey Gowdy host of the TradeGatty podcast.
