Summary

Jon Stewart delves into the MAGA furor over Trump's handling of the Epstein case, Trump’s cheap distractions-turned-threats against Rosie O’Donnell, and the president's double standard on red state vs. blue state relief. Plus, Jon demands accountability from Elmo for his antisemitic rant on X. Economic commentator Kyla Scanlon sits down with Jon to discuss her book, “In This Economy? How Money and Markets Really Work.” They talk about the importance of teaching Americans about the economy in accessible ways, how the government has weaponized people to justify Medicaid cuts under Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, why labor and capital don’t have to be mutually exclusive, and why she’s optimistic about the future.
