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

from The Daily Show: Ears Edition · host Comedy Central

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.
