Xi Makes Trump Climb Stairs, Learn Ancient Greek History & Tremble Over Taiwan Talk | Boots Riley

Jordan Klepper digs into Trump?s media-frenzied visit to China, from Fox News anchor Bret Baier wanting a Chinese robot?s sausage, to President Xi making Trump confront history and stairs, to the closed-door conversations about Taiwan that left Trump shaken. Plus, Ronny Chieng helps Josh Johnson get his Asian references straight. Grace Kuhlenschmidt gets fired up about the latest tech news, including Prego's dinner table listening device, Bebop the Robot's air travel fail, delivery bots bringing the pain to pedestrians, and the rise of robo-Buddhism in South Korea. Filmmaker Boots Riley joins Jordan to break down the absurdist, comedic world of his new film, ?I Love Boosters,? and how it uses fashion and shoplifting culture to interrogate capitalism. He is unapologetic about his politics, arguing that working within capitalism is unavoidable, but that the goal should always be to help the working class build the kind of collective power that can actually change policy. Riley believes great art should push people toward action long after the credits roll and reminds the audience that films like this only get made when audiences show up. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Plus, while Trump is away overseas, MAGA pops off on Don Jr. and Eric?s Trump Mobile phone company for failing to fulfill its orders for roughly 600,000 people. The Constitution forbids Trump from being elected president again, but that hasn't stopped him from floating the idea with an endless stream of "jokes" about a 2028 run. Charlamagne Tha God looks at how Republicans are giving Trump cover by shrugging off his third-term talk as playful trolling, all while refusing to state whether they think he's bound by the 22nd Amendment. Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and best-selling author, sits down with Jordan Klepper to discuss alien etiquette and his new book, "Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter."

Desi Lydic dives into the major cuts airlines are making to compensate for rising fuel prices, from beverage services on Delta Airlines to all services on the now-defunct Spirit Airlines.

John Phelan Fired as Navy Sec., Replaced with Witch-Hunter Hung Cao | Ben McKenzie

Michael Kosta dives into America's naval blockade of Iranian ports to pressure Iran as the U.S. Navy quietly falls apart on the home front. After Pete Hegseth's firing of Navy Secretary John Phelan, Trump replaces the unqualified rich guy with the technically more qualified Hung Cao, who is famous for his hatred of witches and calls for more "alpha males and alpha females" in the military. Not even the war in Iran can distract Trump from his longstanding blood feud with wind energy, but what's behind the president's anti-wind vendetta? Desi Lydic chronicles how, for Donald Trump, wind turbines morphed from a simple eyesore near his Scottish golf course in 2012 to the source of all the problems on planet Earth, in this installment of The Art of the Altercation.
