Desi Lydic tackles Trump's attendance at Supreme Court oral arguments on birthright citizenship as he pushes to end the constitutional right for "billionaires," and his insistence on continuing construction on the White House ballroom despite a federal judge's ruling to halt it. Plus, Trump unveils plans for a presidential hotel-brary.

Lewis Black breaks down prediction markets, where you can now bet on anything. People are making millions betting on wars before they happen and what insult Trump will hurl next. Some markets are even giving Jesus better odds of returning than the New York Jets have of winning a Super Bowl.

Board-certified OB/GYN and founder of The ‘Pause Life, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, joins Desi to discuss her new book, “The New Perimenopause.” Dr. Haver explains what perimenopause is, how the initial mental and neurological symptoms often go misdiagnosed because of a lack of awareness, training, and medical research on the subject. Plus, she offers her book as a guide to help women advocate for their own health and navigate this “second puberty” without suffering. “This is an inevitable and a very normal transition that happens to 100% of us, if we’re lucky to live long enough, but you should never suffer through it, ever. There should be zero suffering.”

Ronny Chieng and Michael Kosta drive each other March Mad over a UConn buzzer-beater win against Duke and go head-to-head over big news in baseball, including instant replay for umpires and instant diarrhea for ballpark foodies.

Award-winning filmmaker and comedian, Julio Torres, sits down with Desi to discuss his new HBO special, "Color Theories." Torres invites viewers into an immersive experience in his whimsical world; he explains how Democrats and Republicans embody navy blue and burgundy because of what they hide, why everyone has a little bit of synesthesia, and whether anyone knows what color “puce” is.

Happy one-monthiversary of the Iran war! With the Strait of Hormuz still closed, Jon Stewart examines how global shortages are hitting everything from grain to helium to pickleballs. Meanwhile, Americans flood the streets for the No Kings protests while CPAC throws Trump his own Yassss Kings rally. Plus, the U.S. finally has a detailed explanation of the president's objectives and exit strategy... for the White House ballroom.

Attorney Cindy Cohn talks to Jon Stewart about her new book, “Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance,” and her work as executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is the world’s biggest and oldest digital rights organization. She recounts the fight against sweeping government surveillance after 9/11, her reservations about internet regulations backfiring if placed in the wrong hands, and why the solution to these problems is a combination of comprehensive privacy law, revised business models of giant tech companies who make money off of user data, and more platform choices for individuals. “A world where there are five big media companies that decide everything that we see and how we see it… the answer isn’t to try to take a dictator and make them a better dictator. The answer is to get rid of the dictators and make them less important.”

They also get into the recent landmark legal case against Meta and Youtube for their addictive designs, the ongoing war with Iran, and, of course, the recall of a "male enhancement" honey supplement that works a little too well...
