POTUS Hires America's Least-Qualified Spy & Trump's Portrait Graces New $250 Bill? | Beth Stern
6/5/202638 min
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.

[upbeat music] [cheering] We got a big one tonight. Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Michael Kosta. We've got so much to talk about tonight. Scott Bessent makes cash obsolete, Jordan Klepper is to older countries, and does the DC Reflecting Pool remind you of dicks? No? We're gonna fix that. Hey, let's get into the headlines. [upbeat music] [cheering] Let's start with the big news, the New York Knicks, baby. [cheering] Whoo. Man, I haven't been this proud of this city since that one time at the start of COVID when they decided to clean the subway for the first time ever. [laughs] That game was so great, I think we can all agree that we should just end the series at one to zero. Stop the count. Stop the count. Stop the count. Stop the count. There we go. [laughs] The game was in San Antonio, but you wouldn't have known that if you walked around New York last night, where the atmosphere went from celebratory to zombie attack.
