Ronny Chieng covers the House passing Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” trading Medicaid, food stamps, and the national debt for a waiver on silencer registration fees. Plus, the Big Beautiful Bill (Troy Iwata) can’t handle the Democrats’ poetic attack on his looks. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is asking undocumented migrants to self-deport for a $1000 stipend, and Al Madrigal is taking her up on the offer. He tells Ronny Chieng how he's living large in South Sudan, the DHS's new favorite war-torn dumping ground. Dawn Staley, basketball legend and head coach of the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team, talks to Ronny about her new memoir, “Uncommon Favor,” and how she’s built a championship program by valuing individuals over analytics and meeting her players where they are. Staley also recalls her experience of coaching through a heart condition – against doctors’ orders – to win the 2017 NCAA championship, and she offers some reassuring words to the Knicks after their Game 1 loss in the Eastern Conference finals.
