Happy New Year, everyone, and welcome back to The Adam Carolla Show! In this episode, Mike Dawson joins Adam in the studio to recap the biggest stories and events that occurred during the holiday break. Adam sounds off on the “warmth of collectivism,” his communist grandmother, how low-character people are easily corrupted, and much, much more! IN THE NEWS: Russia and China have condemned the U.S. military’s capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, calling the move a violation of sovereignty and saying they’re “deeply alarmed” by the use of force against the oil‑rich nation. In Minnesota, Somali day care operators are facing threats and a freeze on federal child care funding after a right‑wing influencer accused them of fraud — claims that investigators have yet to verify. And CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil is making headlines for urging viewers to “hold him accountable” as he takes over CBS Evening News, acknowledging deep public mistrust of mainstream media voices.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH MIKE DAWSON: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @dawsangelesLIVE SHOWS: January 8 - Loveland, COJanuary 9 - Colorado Springs, COJanuary 10 - Colorado Springs, CO (2 shows)January 11 - Greenwood Village, COJanuary 16 - Grants Pass, ORJanuary 17 - Bend, ORThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlinecardiff.co/adamHomes.comoreillyauto.com/adamPluto.tvSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
