Summary

Ronny Chieng dives into the CDC’s decision to drop COVID isolation guidelines, how the U.S. dodged blockades they funded to aid Gaza, and the TSA’s plan to make airport security even more annoying with self-service checkpoints. Plus, Troy Iwata reports from the New York subway system, where National Guards are conducting bag checks for some reason? And Eagle Pass, Texas has become the epicenter of the national immigration debate, but who are the real "invaders" of this community? Michael Kosta talks to residents of Eagle Pass who have had it with the right-wing media, politicians, and fearmongering Trump supporters taking over their town and jacking up their hotel prices. Plus, actor and comedian Awkwafina stops by to talk with her friend Ronny Chieng about the projects they’ve worked on together, including her latest film “Kung Fu Panda 4,” what it was like working with Jack Black, and her family’s place in the culinary history of Queens. Ronny even gives Awkwafina the chance to interview HIM about his iconic role as “Fish” in “Kung Fu Panda 4.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.
