Plus, Michael Kosta joins with expert analysis of MAGA’s unconventional shutdown strategy.

White House advisor Thaddeus Mandible Crowley excavates America's ancient laws to justify whatever insane idea jumps into Trump's head, be it fornicating for national security or banning uggos.

Author and features editor at The Verge, Kevin Nguyen, sits down with Ronny to talk about his new book, “Mỹ Documents: A Novel.” They discuss the story’s timely premise about “a far-fetched dystopian future where the government is detaining people for no reason,” the title’s nod to the Vietnamese language, the importance of learning your family’s history, and how the book tackles nuanced ideas around Asian American identity.

Trump Posts Bizarre AI Videos as Government Shuts Down | Benny Safdie

Ronny Chieng recaps Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump's sudden gathering of top military leaders, where the president announced his intention to use Democrat-run cities as training grounds for the National Guard, and where Secretary of War Pete Hegseth fat-shamed troops, hawked his book, and made cringey jokes.

Ricky Velez unpacks how the ubiquity of online sports betting has become a problem for Las Vegas casinos and an even bigger problem for American men, and how, instead of trying to protect people from these billion-dollar gambling apps, Trump is just taking a cut for himself.

Comedian Cristela Alonzo sits down with Ronny to discuss comedy institutions, the American dream, and her new Netflix special, "Upper Classy." They talk about paying homage to comedy and participating in its evolution, using joy as an act of resistance, how politicians focus on the middle class and forget the lower class, and what she learned growing up in Texas with an undocumented mother. Plus, a special appearance from Ronny’s mom!

Hegseth Lectures "Fat Generals" and Trump Threatens War Against U.S. Cities | Cristela Alonzo

After a string of mass shootings across the U.S., America swaps out “thoughts and prayers” for a left vs. right blame game, Republicans hypocritically criticize the Democrats' “violent rhetoric,” and Trump escalates a nonexistent problem by deploying troops to Portland.

Harvard law professor and staff writer at The New Yorker, Jill Lepore, joins Jon to discuss her new bestselling book, “We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution.” She points to the years-long process of trial and error that went into writing the Constitution as an example of how the document was designed with the intention to be changed and improved upon, and emphasizes the foundational right to amend the document as Americans see fit. Lepore also explains how the conservative “originalist” movement has discouraged the addition of any new amendments since the 1970s, how conservatives continue to use originalism as a way of bending the Constitution to their political will through the courts, rather than going through the much harder amendment process, and how this dynamic has put issues like abortion rights and environmental protections at risk.

Trump Suddenly Sides with Ukraine & MAGA Spins Conspiracies About U.N. Escalator | Sebastian Murphy

Jordan Klepper recaps Trump and RFK's latest pseudo-scientific bombshells: Tylenol causes autism, vaccines flood baby bodies, and the Amish are leading the world in modern medicine. Plus, which Daily Show correspondents made the list for Rapture Tuesday?

Jordan dives into Trump’s appearance at the United Nations General Assembly, where global diplomacy and updates on Ukraine played second fiddle to his grudge against an out-of-order escalator.

John Fugelsang, host of "Tell Me Everything" on SiriusXM Progress and author of the New York Times Bestseller "Separation of Church and Hate" talks to Jordan about how MAGA and the far-right have wrongly co-opted Christianity as a cloak for authoritarianism and bigotry – the opposite of Jesus's call for individuals and states to "take care of the poor, take care of the sick, welcome the stranger, and be kind to those in prison.” Fugelsang traces back a long history of non-violent Christian activism, from the Crusades through the Civil Rights Movement, and urges all those on the left to engage with Christianity, even if only to combat the narrow version of the bible that Trump and MAGA are trying to impose.
