June 3, 2026 - Chase Infiniti

Michael Kosta covers the California and New Jersey primaries: Spencer Pratt’s L.A. mayoral campaign gets the reality-TV treatment, California hints at its first Latino governor since 1875, and New Jersey candidate Tom Kean remains conspicuously absent. Trump pitches putting his UFC ring on the White House lawn, while Ronny Chieng argues Kean’s disappearing act may be exactly what voters want. In NYC, Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveils his boldest idea yet: repealing bedtime during the Knicks’ Finals. Grace Kuhlenschmidt asks kids what they think, with responses ranging from “awesome” to “Let’s go Knicks!” Plus, Chase Infiniti joins Michael to talk about starring as Agnes in Hulu’s The Testaments, honoring Margaret Atwood’s world, the power of community, her love for Chicago, and lessons from the leadership on One Battle After Another.
