Summary

Few people believe Donald Trump or J.D. Vance when they say they don’t care about Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris, the former president wrote the captions in his new coffee table picture book, and President Biden swapped hats with a Trump supporter at a 9/11 memorial event. And the amazing Jeff Bridges describes in this exclusive extended interview how he learned he had lymphoma, and after conquering that disease he fell ill with Covid and had to be hospitalized. Luckily he recovered and shares some of the wisdom and perspective that got him through it, and was later able to get back to work on the set of “The Old Man,” now on FX and Hulu.
