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.

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.”
