DOJ Erases Epstein & Netanyahu Kisses Trump's Ass With Peace Prize Nom | Author Michael Luo
The Department of Justice (and Michael Kosta) try to gaslight Ronny Chieng about a suddenly "nonexistent" Jeffrey Epstein client list, Trump lists Benjamin Netanyahu as a reference on his Nobel Peace Prize application, and the TSA ends their foot fetish. Ronny checks in on the status of Trump's trade war, including the president's half-firm decision on another tariff delay and his new international trade pen pal, "Mr. Japan." Michael Luo, author of "Strangers in the Land: Exclusion, Belonging, and the Epic Story of the Chinese in America" and executive editor at The New Yorker, joins Ronny Chieng to discuss the untold stories of Asian American persistence and resilience in the face of bigotry. They talk about one of the worst mass lynchings in America involving Chinese immigrants, Wong Kim Ark’s Supreme Court fight for birthright citizenship, the pertinence of chronicling 19th-century expulsion during the Trump administration, and how this book became a 160,000-word response to a racial abuse incident on the Upper East Side.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jon Stewart on Who Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Really Helps — and Hurts | Journalist Steve Kroft
Jon Stewart covers the passage of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill: Republicans bashing then endorsing the megabill, trading tax cuts to sway senators, giving a $40 billion infusion to ICE, boosting billionaires at the expense of Medicaid and SNAP, and more.
Former CBS “60 Minutes” correspondent and Emmy and Peabody Award-winning journalist Steve Kroft joins Jon to discuss a $16 million settlement in President Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount Global, CBS and Comedy Central’s parent company. They discuss how an incoming corporate merger and pressure from Trump’s FCC may have influenced the settlement, why journalists and legal experts consider it a “shakedown,” its impact on freedom of the press, and the one thing Trump didn’t get: an apology.
