Summary

There's still time to order flowers, but you're going to have to move fast. It's Mother's Day!

Jon Stewart sits down with former president Jimmy Carter to talk about his book A Remarkable Mother. Desi dives back in to unpack the history of why we celebrate Mother's Day. Author Angela Garbes joins Trevor to discuss her book Essential Labor. Between the scenes, Trevor explains why his mother will never be on the show. Congresswoman Lucy McBath joins to discuss her book Standing our Ground: A Mother's Story and how losing her son motivated her to run for change.
