    ICE Killing in Minnesota Ignites Protests as Trump and Kristi Noem Double Down | Lucy Liu

    Minneapolis tells ICE to “get the f**k out” after an agent fatally shot a woman, Kristi Noem smears the victim as a terrorist while MAGA decides she deserved it, and Ronny Chieng questions ICE’s PR push to recruit highly aggressive, unqualified agents and unleash them on American cities. Americans are known for spoiling their living pets, but what about the ones who’ve passed? Michael Kosta explores the rising popularity of pet psychics, like Danielle MacKinnon, who claims to have the intuitive ability to communicate with all animals, past and present. Kosta learns about her process, meets her very real clients, and attempts to glean some insight into his relationship with his own dog, Walter. Actor and producer Lucy Liu sits down with Ronny Chieng to discuss her new film, “Rosemead,” which is based on a true story about a terminally ill mother and her son. They talk about Liu’s connection to the film and how its themes of mental health and grief affected her, why every role feels like a way of documenting her life, the time she directed Ronny onscreen, and how taking risks has led to the biggest rewards in her career.

    Ronny Chieng breaks down the Trump administration's original Iran War strategy to reinstall former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after bombing his house, Trump unseating Republican Rep. Thomas Massie in retaliation for spearheading the release of the Epstein files, and Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry trying to win over Greenlanders with cookies and friendship. Plus, Jordan Klepper weighs in on former Cuban President Raúl Castro's indictment and America’s obsession with gerontocracy. Gen Z's "maxxing" trend has gotten way out of hand. As looksmaxxers like Clavicular hype the benefits of smashing your face with a hammer, and self-described nothing-maxxers achieve new levels of doing jack s**t, Lewis Black can't help but wonder: What the f**k is happening?! Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist, actor, and writer Jonnie Park, aka Dumbfoundead, joins Ronny to discuss his new memoir "SPIT: A Life in Battles." They talk about getting his start in battle rapping at 14 years old in Los Angeles, evolving from freestyle battles to prepared matchups, developing a thick skin as the only Asian in the rap battle arena, dabbling in other mediums like acting in “Nemesis” and writing for season 2 of “Beef,” both on Netflix, and chronicling his story through the different family, immigration, and career battles he’s faced. -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

    Two-Party System: Third Parties Need Not Apply

    The first presidential debate is here, and voters do not seem thrilled with the two, very different candidates. How does a consumerist country built on choice produce so few options? This week, helping us to understand our two party system and why third parties don’t work within it, we’re joined by Max Stearns, Law Professor at University of Maryland Carey School of Law, and the author of “Parliamentary America: The Least Radical Means of Radically Repairing Our Broken Democracy,” as well as Sam Rosenfeld, Associate Professor of Political Science at Colgate University, and the co-author, with Daniel Schlozman, of “The Hollow Parties: The Many Pasts and Disordered Present of American Party Politics.” Together, they help us to understand the flaws in how our current system functions and offer some possible remedies going forward.
