Summary

This week's host Jordan Klepper sits down with Daily Show writer and producer Matt O'Brien to recap the latest news, and preview what's coming up. Jordan labels it "Don't Believe Your Eyes" Week as political leaders and the media ask the public to disregard video evidence and facts in favor of partisan interpretations of the ICE shooting in Minnesota, Trump's attack on Venezuela, and the anniversary of January 6th. Plus they unpack RFK Jr.'s new upside-down, rotisserie chicken forward food pyramid, and look forward at what's coming down the pike this week in news. Learn more about your ad choices.
