As America braces for a second Trump administration, we're joined by historian Jon Meacham to place our current moment within the broader sweep of U.S. history. Together, we examine whether Trump's explicit rhetoric about territorial expansion and open billionaire support truly represents something unprecedented, reflect on how the Biden administration might be remembered, and consider what patterns from our past tell us about America's future.

Man Oh Man: Why Male Voters Shifted Right

This week, we're joined by Richard Reeves, President of the American Institute for Boys and Men, and Annie Lowrey, staff writer at The Atlantic.

Trump 2024: The Patriotism Paradox

With less than a week until the election, Americans face a stark choice about their country's future. While Trump's supporters wave flags from the Revolutionary War — a war fought against a king —Trump seeks to expand presidential authority and claim immunity from wrongdoing. This week, we're joined by Mona Charen, Policy Editor at The Bulwark and host of "Beg to Differ" podcast, and Harvard Professor Emeritus Laurence H. Tribe, to explore Trump's shallow patriotism and his disregard for the very Constitution he could once again swear to preserve, protect and defend.

In an election cycle where debates have been more impactful than ever, what influence has the first, and perhaps only, meeting between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump had on voters? To unpack the debate and its implications for each campaign, we’re joined by Ashley Parker, Senior National Political Correspondent for The Washington Post, and David Graham, staff writer at The Atlantic.

Political Conventions: At This Point, What’s The Point?

The Democratic National Convention is in full swing, but what influence does it have on the election? Once a hotbed of debate, drama, and actual decision-making, the DNC has transformed into a carefully choreographed media event where political insiders pretend to decide things they've already decided. So what are we doing here? This week, we dive into these questions with Zolan Kanno-Youngs, White House Correspondent with the New York Times and CNN political analyst, and Jill Lepore, Professor of History and Law at Harvard, staff writer at The New Yorker, and author of "The Deadline." Together, we discuss the happenings on the floor, explore how these political gatherings have evolved from smoke-filled rooms of party bosses to the spectacles of today, and examine how political messaging has adapted (or failed to adapt) to the ever-changing media landscape.

The Harris/Walz are Closing In! with Senator Amy Klobuchar

In a matter of weeks, the Democrats have unveiled a new ticket – injecting fresh energy into a presidential race once considered a foregone conclusion. Who better to illuminate this shift than Senator Amy Klobuchar, who ran against Vice President Harris for President in 2020, served alongside her in the Senate, and represents Minnesota just like Governor Walz? This week, we dive into the Democratic Party's seismic change, and explore the intricacies of VP selection and vetting. Drawing from her unique experience, Senator Klobuchar offers insights into the challenges women face in high-profile campaigns, the urban-rural divide in American politics, and the art of passing crucial legislation in a gridlocked Washington. Jon and the Senator also look ahead to the Democratic National Convention, campaign season, and beyond. No denial of service attack will stop this conversation from happening!

Trump, Vance, and The Republican Anti-Worker Playbook

The right-wing talks a big economic populist game, claiming that the working class is their chief concern. But their pro-worker words don’t translate into pro-worker actions. During the first Trump administration, for instance, Republicans killed raising the minimum wage and created a higher threshold for workers to be eligible for overtime pay. Plus, Trump’s Supreme Court justice selections represent the most anti-worker judges in a century. This week, we’re joined by Steven Greenhouse, the labor and workplace reporter at the New York Times for 19 years, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation, and author of the book, Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor, as well as Heather Cox Richardson, author of Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America. Together, they examine the history of labor in the US and explore what populist rhetoric offers Americans when it's accompanied by policies that undermine workers.

Biden Out, Harris In: A Media Disasterpiece

In the turbulent month since President Biden’s disastrous debate performance, the media has been speculating as to whether it was probable, or even possible, for him to drop out of the race. Turns out, it was both. In light of Biden’s historic decision, how effectively did the media guide the public through the election chaos?

Trump Assassination Attempt Aftermath with Bill O’Reilly

It has been a few days since the attempted assassination of former President Trump. Both sides in our polarized political system have retreated to their respective corners and cast blame on the other, making it more difficult than ever to engage in healthy debate with political adversaries. Joining us to do just that is Bill O’Reilly, Anchor of No Spin News and Author of the upcoming book, Confronting the Presidents: No Spin Assessments from Washington to Biden.

Two-Party System: Third Parties Need Not Apply

The first presidential debate is here, and voters do not seem thrilled with the two, very different candidates. How does a consumerist country built on choice produce so few options? This week, helping us to understand our two party system and why third parties don’t work within it, we’re joined by Max Stearns, Law Professor at University of Maryland Carey School of Law, and the author of “Parliamentary America: The Least Radical Means of Radically Repairing Our Broken Democracy,” as well as Sam Rosenfeld, Associate Professor of Political Science at Colgate University, and the co-author, with Daniel Schlozman, of “The Hollow Parties: The Many Pasts and Disordered Present of American Party Politics.” Together, they help us to understand the flaws in how our current system functions and offer some possible remedies going forward.

Abortion: Mission Impossible

The media may have you believe that the recent Supreme Court decision on Mifepristone was a win for reproductive rights. In reality, it merely upheld the current status quo – a drastic departure from the standard once set by Roe. And an onslaught of challenges, aimed at making abortion impossible, if not illegal, are on the horizon. Joining us to explore this regression we have Melissa Murray, NYU Law Professor and co-host of the Strict Scrutiny Podcast, and Jessica Valenti, founder of [AbortionEveryDay.com] (http://www.abortioneveryday.com/) and author of the forthcoming book, Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win. Together, they discuss how our distorted democracy brought us to this moment, unpack the backward slide of abortion rights in America, and offer tips on what we can do to counter this trend.  Follow The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart on social media for more:    > YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/@weeklyshowpodcast] (https://www.youtube.com/@weeklyshowpodcast) > Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/weeklyshowpodcast] (https://www.instagram.com/weeklyshowpodcast) > TikTok: [https://tiktok.com/@weeklyshowpodcast] (https://tiktok.com/@weeklyshowpodcast)   > X: [https://x.com/weeklyshowpod] (https://x.com/weeklyshowpod) Host/Executive Producer – Jon Stewart Executive Producer – James Dixon Executive Producer – Chris McShane Executive Producer – Caity Gray Lead Producer – Lauren Walker Producer – Brittany Mehmedovic Video Editor & Engineer – Rob Vitolo Audio Editor & Engineer – Nicole Boyce Researcher – Catherine Nouhan Music by Hansdale Hsu — This podcast is brought to you by: ZipRecruiter Try it for free at this exclusive web address: [ziprecruiter.com/ZipWeekly] (http://ziprecruiter.com/ZipWeekly)   --- Learn more about your ad choices.

The Military Industrial Complexity

On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we reflect on how the US military saved democracy from fascism. This week, as the Senate marks up next year’s defense spending bill, Jon sits down with Bill Hartung of the Quincy Institute and Roxana Tiron of Bloomberg to investigate whether our arsenal is still bolstering democracy, both abroad and at home. From the active conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza to our rivalry with China, we explore the efficacy of U.S. strategy. Plus, we dive deep into the ballooning defense budget and discuss Jon’s attempts to shine a light on it all.  And you can also check out the tax tool shared with us by a resourceful listener here: [https://us.abalancingact.com/2023-federal-taxpayer-receipt] (https://us.abalancingact.com/2023-federal-taxpayer-receipt) Follow The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart on social media for more:    > YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/@weeklyshowpodcast] (https://www.youtube.com/@weeklyshowpodcast) > Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/weeklyshowpodcast] (https://www.instagram.com/weeklyshowpodcast) > TikTok: [https://tiktok.com/@weeklyshowpodcast] (https://tiktok.com/@weeklyshowpodcast)   > X: [https://x.com/weeklyshowpod] (https://x.com/weeklyshowpod) CREDITS Host/Executive Producer – Jon Stewart Executive Producer - James Dixon Executive Producer – Chris McShane Executive Producer – Caity Gray Lead Producer – Lauren Walker Producer – Brittany Mehmedovic Video Editor & Engineer - Rob Vitolo Audio Editor& Engineer Nicole Boyce Researcher - Catherine Nouhan Music by Hansdle Hsu — This podcast is brought to you by: ZipRecruiter Try it for free at this exclusive web address: [ziprecruiter.com/ZipWeekly] (http://ziprecruiter.com/ZipWeekly)   Learn more about your ad choices.

Democracy Under Threat: The Soft Hum of Corruption

Despite what cable news may have you believe, Donald Trump is not the sole threat to our democracy. This week, we’re peeling back the rhetoric and taking a look at where the vulnerabilities in our institutions lie. In conversation with Jane Mayer, Chief Washington Correspondent for The New Yorker magazine and Noah Bookbinder, President of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Jon explores the roots of our democratic dysfunction. From ever-multiplying dark money to shark tanking ideas for tax transparency, this episode has it all. Plus, hear from producers of the pod and get a taste for what you can expect in episodes to come! Fact Check: Jane Mayer mentions that Jon said the FEC is about as useless as male nipples. It was, in fact, Jordan Klepper who said this.  Follow The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart on social media for more:    > YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/@weeklyshowpodcast] (https://www.youtube.com/@weeklyshowpodcast) > Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/weeklyshowpodcast] (https://www.instagram.com/weeklyshowpodcast) > TikTok: [https://tiktok.com/@weeklyshowpodcast] (https://tiktok.com/@weeklyshowpodcast)   > X: [https://x.com/weeklyshowpod] (https://x.com/weeklyshowpod) Host/Executive Producer – Jon Stewart Executive Producer - James Dixon Executive Producer – Chris McShane Executive Producer – Caity Gray Lead Producer – Lauren Walker Producer – Brittany Mehmedovic Video/Audio Editor & Engineer - Rob Vitolo Researcher - Catherine Nouhan Music by Hansdale Hsu This podcast is brought to you by: ZipRecruiter Try it for free at this exclusive web address: ziprecruiter.com/ZipWeekly Learn more about your ad choices.
