Ronny Chieng & Desi Lydic dive into Vladimir Putin & Kim Jong-un’s lively boys trip in North Korea, the climate protester attack on Stonehenge and Taylor Swift’s private jet, and Louisiana’s new bill blurring the lines of church and state. Plus, Michael Kosta stops by to evaluate whether Republicans can handle the moral standards of the Ten Commandments. Jordan Klepper also heads to the battleground state of Wisconsin for Trump's first campaign rally as an official convict, but of course, even a guilty verdict isn't gonna stop MAGA heads from MAGA-ing. And Emmy Award-winning actor, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, talks about his character’s evolution on the upcoming season of “The Bear.” He discusses how he gets a chance to mouth off as Cousin Richie, his chemistry with the cast, and how he’s preparing for his role as The Thing in Marvel’s upcoming “Fantastic Four.”

Trump called the RNC host city of Milwaukee a horrible place and is now trying to pass the insult off as a concern about crime. Jon Stewart digs into the Right's fear-mongering obsession: crime in big cities. Republicans want you to believe that "lawless" Democrats are to blame, but when it comes to Democrat-run city crime, it turns out the guns are coming from red states. And Protestant minister, social activist, and Yale Divinity School professor Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II discusses his latest book, “White Poverty: How Exposing Myths About Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy.” Barber talks about the staggering statistics of poverty in America which have long been misrepresented, the need for politicians to pay attention to this huge portion of the population and mobilizing poor and low wage people of every race to vote, and leading the June 29th Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington D.C.
