S31·E70 June 4, 2026 - Beth Stern

Michael Kosta skewers the Trump administration’s dubious new hires, from a Pentagon employee tied to January 6 to intelligence chief Bill Pulte, who has no intelligence background. He also covers Knicks fans going full "zombie" after a Game 1 win and Trump’s bizarre plans for America’s 250th birthday, including his face on a $250 banknote. Jordan Klepper reports from a New Orleans celebration, asking pointed questions about Trump, January 6 pardons, and the nation’s future. Then Beth Stern joins Kosta to discuss her children’s book, Coco and Stephen, Together Forever, inspired by her rescue animals, while sharing her advocacy for pet adoption and responsible ownership. Kosta’s rescue dog Walter also pops in.
