  • Trump 2024: The Patriotism Paradox

    Trump 2024: The Patriotism Paradox
    Oct 31 2024
    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.

  • Pay Pals: How Billionaires Influence Elections

    Pay Pals: How Billionaires Influence Elections
    Oct 25 2024
    Money in politics isn't new, but billionaire influence in our elections has reached staggering levels – and 2024 could break all previous election spending records. From the presidential race to down ballot elections and think tanks to media empires, wealthy donors are reshaping American democracy in ways voters rarely see. Joining us to follow the money trail are New York Times reporters Teddy Schleifer and Ken Vogel, who help us explore how the ultra-wealthy leverage their resources across the political landscape and what they expect in return.

  • MAGA Mirage: Trump & Vance’s Contradictory Conservatism

    MAGA Mirage: Trump & Vance’s Contradictory Conservatism
    Oct 17 2024
    You’ve heard the Republican ticket’s pro-worker rhetoric. It often contradicts their own actions and party ideology, but is representative of an emerging faction within the right wing. Joining us to explore this new conservative ideology are Oren Cass, Chief Economist at American Compass, and Zachary Carter, author of "The Price of Peace: Money, Democracy, and the Life of John Maynard Keynes." Together, we delve into key policy battlegrounds, from labor rights and immigration to domestic manufacturing and trade. Plus, the group considers a Post-Trump Republican Party.

Fair and balanced - for real!

The manner in which I can review pertinent news in a non "the sky is falling" and non promotional and opinionated way. They at least speak of the times they jest.

PS I couldn't find how to submit feedback, so just an idea.... Have Harris choose Pence or other honorable conservative for VP. Let's put our money where our mouth is and show unity, discussion, and find commonality as a basis to move forward.

Jon Stewart and Team are Demi-Gods!!!

They'd be God... if the title was not already spoken for. 😉
I just spent the last couple weeks streaming every podcast episode available and sharing some with my family. The variety of topics discussed at intelligent and precise levels are wide and wonderful. Thought provoking and marvelous!
No doubt, the best of the best episodes deal with coverage about our beloved Veterans and the eye opening struggles that are fearlessness covered.

BEST EPISODE TO DATE: When the team spent a week in DC to help get the PACT act passed. The real life boots on the ground approach was magnificent!! Imma go listen to that one again right now!
Thanks Jon and Team!!

Finally

Finally, news shared honestly and with fun honest humor. This takes me back to the good ole days when Jon Stewart was on Comedy Central. Now he’s back, on a podcast, and he’s able to be more of himself to explain and asks questions regarding the politics and the news.

Interesting view of current events

This podcast format is my favorite. An interesting conversation with intelligent people about crucial issues. And somehow the humor sprinkled through makes it easier to process.

Everything I need right now

Perfectly titled. Just press play and listen.

*Thank you to Tocarra and Kris for making me feel seen (and for making me laugh which has not been easy this past week). Thank you to the law professors for teaching me a thing or two about Originalism. And thank you Jon for always joining the conversation and defending what's right as vehemently as you do. Seeing/hearing you passionately and intellectually pose and defend strong arguments gives me life and makes me feel empowered.

Thank you

Living in Florida and having a chance to listen such wise and caring criteria coming from a politician is much appreciated. The podcast is great too! Thank you!

does a real disservice to the issue

Pretty poor episode that ignores many of the facts in order to push a personal narrative.
