Summary

Attorney General Pam Bondi goes off the rails in front of Congress over Epstein questions, an Olympic biathlete confesses to an affair after winning a bronze medal, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt gives Jordan Klepper the easy-to-solve riddle of Trump's sudden opposition to opening a new U.S.-Canada bridge. The U.S. might have a lot of problems, but Troy Iwata reminds us that other countries aren't perfect, either! He dives into an impersonal Chinese app for checking that your loved ones are alive without having to talk to them, french fries in England trying to drown themselves in the ocean, and militarized roaches in Germany, in a new segment called "So Not Our Problem!" Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Jarecki sits down with Jordan to discuss the impact of his Oscar-nominated documentary “The Alabama Solution.” They talk about the multi-year investigation into the Alabama prison system through contraband cell phone footage, how inhumane treatment and suspicious deaths inspired a group of incarcerated men to become freedom fighters on the inside, the harsh punishments they’ve received for activism and work strikes, and how Alex Pretti’s death serves as a reminder of the power of truth-telling through cell phone footage.
