Portada del episodio $1.8 Billion Slush Fund Has J6ers Playing Victim & Trump Creeps on Coast Guard Grad | “Weird Al” Yankovic

Descripción

Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for his allies is here, and the line is already forming: the Proud Boys, the MyPillow guy, George Santos, and even the lectern guy! The Department of Justice insists $1.8 billion is an appropriate amount for the fund, and Ronny Chieng does the math to figure out how much money each eligible American will get. Plus, Trump couldn't stop gawking at hot, muscular men at the Coast Guard Academy graduation ceremony, and the president broke the news that he'll probably be a little too busy to attend Don Jr.'s wedding. American history is complicated, filled with milestones eroded by backlash and triumphs marred by moral failure. But there's still one moment in this nation's 250-year history that brings all of us together: the 1992 Olympic Basketball Dream Team! Boom-shaka-laka! “Weird Al” Yankovic, Grammy and Emmy-award winning comedy music legend, talks to Ronny before heading out on his “Bigger and Weirder 2026” tour. The two look back on Yankovic’s decades-spanning career, from learning the accordion at his parents behest, to becoming the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history with a discography that functions as a time capsule of pop culture. He also discusses his songwriting process for parodies and pastiches of musical style, why he likes to get permission before parodying an artist’s song, the challenges of parodying in 2026, and his personal quest to make polka sexy again. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

POTUS Hires America's Least-Qualified Spy & Trump's Portrait Graces New $250 Bill? | Beth Stern

Michael Kosta digs into the Trump administration's promising new hires, including a Pentagon employee who got his start doing January 6 and a new highest-ranking intelligence officer with zero intelligence experience, Bill Pulte. Plus, New York Knicks fans go zombie-mode after winning Game 1 in the NBA Finals, and Trump prepares for America's semiquincentennial with his face on a $250 bill and the most confusing d**k-measuring contest ever. America is celebrating its 250th birthday, but the country is still as divided as ever. Jordan Klepper heads to a celebration event in New Orleans to ask hard-hitting questions like: How is the president doing? Should any of the January 6 insurrectionists get money from the slush fund? And how many more years does America have? Beth Stern, bestselling author and national spokesperson for North Shore Animal League America, joins Michael to discuss her new children’s book, “Coco and Stephen, Together Forever,” which is based on the real-life unlikely friendship between her rescue animals, Coco the kitten and Stephen the rabbit. She recounts how her home with husband Howard Stern has become a safe haven where over 3,000 foster animals have passed through, emphasizes why committing to the responsibility of a new pet requires serious consideration from the whole family, and advocates for animal adoption over shopping. Plus, Kosta’s own rescue “bro” Walter makes a special appearance. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump Wants White House UFC Ring to Stay & NJ Candidate Tom Kean Is MIA | Chase Infiniti

Michael Kosta covers the primary elections in California and New Jersey: Spencer Pratt’s campaign for L.A. mayor gets picked up for a second season, California teases its first Latino governor since 1875, and New Jersey congressional candidate Tom Kean continues to be MIA. Plus, Trump floats the idea of keeping his UFC ring on the White House lawn, and Ronny Chieng explains why Tom Kean’s absence is what American voters are looking for. This week, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced his most radical policy yet: a repeal on bedtime during the Knicks' Finals. Grace Kuhlenschmidt hit the streets to find out how this bedtime ban is sitting with Mamdani's youngest constituents, whose reactions range from "awesome" to "Let's go Knicks!" Award-winning actor Chase Infiniti sits down with Michael to discuss her starring role in the Hulu series, "The Testaments." They talk about the responsibility of playing Agnes and doing justice to Margaret Atwood's characters, the emphasis on "how important community is, not only within our own lives, but to enact change in the world,” why Chicago and the Midwest will always be her home, and what she learned from the professionalism, passion, and gentle leadership on “One Battle After Another.” -- For up to 65% off your order, head to https://VeracityHealth.co [https://veracityhealth.co/] and use code DAILY.
