Summary

Jon Stewart examines how Trump's finger-pointing, and the GOP's threats to withhold disaster relief for the LA wildfires are missing the bigger picture: nature is f**ked, and helping those in pain shouldn't be a political issue. Mark Carney, Canadian economist and former Governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, chats about his country’s response to Donald Trump’s desire to annex Canada: “It’s not going to happen.” They also discuss the impending financial crisis Canada faces if Trump follows through on his tariff threats and how the country’s upcoming election mirrors the 2024 U.S. presidential race.
