Ronny Chieng: 作为主持人，我认为特朗普政府签署了大量行政命令，因为这比通过法律容易得多。共和党人将他们的整个议程塞进了一项巨大的法案中，这项法案被称为“大美法案”，但我觉得这个名字很愚蠢。这项法案延长了总统在2017年签署的税收减免政策，但这需要通过削减医疗补助和社会安全网（例如食品券）来实现，这对于穷人来说非常刻薄。为了让法案通过，特朗普甚至通过威胁和辱骂来推动。此外，该法案还取消了枪支消音器的注册费，这让我质疑降低消音器的购买成本有什么好处，难道是为了让枪击案发生时，其他教室可以继续上课吗？ Big Beautiful Bill: 作为“大美法案”本身，我感到很沮丧，因为民主党人说我丑陋，而且我会让700万贫困和残疾美国人失去医疗补助。我想要被批准，被爱，并且把我认为不应该获得食物的人踢出食品券计划。我只想做我自己，活出我的真相，但我无法改变我自己，我还会剥夺跨性别者的医疗保健。我甚至觉得我们应该把穷人扔进熔炉里来为人工智能提供动力。

Shownotes Transcript

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.
