Summary

Michael Kosta unpacks Elon Musk calling Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill a "disgusting abomination," the head of FEMA learning there's a hurricane season, Social Security chief Frank Bisignano googling “social security,” and Tulsi Gabbard's Fox News-style intelligence briefing makeover.

For those airline customers nervous that diverse pilots aren't qualified for their jobs, White Flight's racial support pilots can put their minds at ease. Let a white male stand-in reassure passengers that their plane won't crash from DEI, while the actual pilots do all the work behind the scenes.

Candace Parker, three-time WNBA champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist, joins Michael to discuss her new book, “The Can-Do Mindset.” She explains how the title speaks to her childhood nickname and the lessons her family instilled in her, how much the WNBA has grown since her tenure as an athlete, the physical toll of the game, and how she fills the competitive void off-the-court.
