S31·E62 May 14, 2026 - Boots Riley

Jordan Klepper covers Trump’s media-saturated China visit, from Bret Baier’s bizarre fixation on a Chinese robot’s sausage to Xi forcing Trump to face history, stairs, and tense closed-door talks on Taiwan that reportedly left him rattled. Ronny Chieng helps Josh Johnson sharpen his Asian references. Grace Kuhlenschmidt tackles the latest tech absurdities, from Prego’s dinner-table listening device to Bebop the Robot’s air-travel disaster, delivery bots menacing pedestrians, and robo-Buddhism in South Korea. Filmmaker Boots Riley joins Jordan to discuss his new film, "I Love Boosters," using fashion and shoplifting culture to critique capitalism and argue that art should inspire collective action long after the credits roll.
