Catch all of the past week's great guests in one place. Michael Lewis joins Jon Stewart to discuss his new book, “Blockers: Rebels in the Deep State,” which unveils an inside look into DOGE’s inner workings and champions the civil servants who got in its way. Lewis and Stewart dive deep into stories of the brave civil servants who “blocked” DOGE, including the wild U.S. Institute of Peace standoff where a security guard locked DOGE staffers in a wing of the building until D.C. police showed up and escorted him out. Lewis also shares how DOGE’s young operatives targeted the people he calls “the best among us” and why he somehow walked away from it all optimistically. Award-winning novelist, Min Jin Lee chats with Ronny Chieng about her latest book, "American Hagwon." The two discuss hagwons, the specialized Korean skill schools at the center of Lee’s novel, bond over the traditions of respect, sacrifice, and discipline embedded within Asian culture and education, and debate the real value of an elite higher education. Plus, Lee breaks down how her novel’s exploration of an immigrant family enduring financial instability attempts to answer the question of why bad things happen to good people. Harvard Kennedy School professor and author of "Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know,” Erica Chenoweth, sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss their groundbreaking research on nonviolent resistance that led to the development of “The 3.5% Rule,” which found that no mass movements against dictatorships in the 20th century failed once they reached active participation by about 3.5% of the population. They talk about utilizing momentum, organization, and mass non-cooperation, along with protest, to achieve successful mass nonviolent resistance, and how the Declaration of Independence was the ultimate act of civil disobedience. New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer joins Jordan Klepper to discuss what it’s like covering the billionaire beat and if money is losing its power in American politics. Schleifer shares how the ultra-wealthy think about political giving and why he’s surprised they don’t spend even more. He also explains how the world of dark money plays an outsized role and why both parties’ establishments quietly benefit from the status quo, even if most voters can’t stand it. Plus, he shares why he thinks real change takes years, pointing to Texas where people waited over a decade to see it turn blue. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Michael Kosta celebrates the big wins across the board for Democrats and Elon Musk blowing $500 million on the midterms.

Republicans mourn the midterm results with some light criticism of Trump, JD Vance blames the Iran War for the blue wave, New York elects potty-mouthed Republican Anthony Constantino, who wants Trump to free Diddy, and Jordan Klepper wonders if the president's beam will be strong enough to support MAGA's cracks. Grace Kuhlenschmidt gets into the biggest headlines in tech: Americans get unhelpful voting tips from ChatGPT, Elon Musk's new "flying" car takes a safety-last approach, and a Kung Fu robot bodyguard can kickflip burglars in the taint.

Michael Kosta recaps the 2026 midterm elections after Democrats’ historic sweep: Kansas’s last Democratic senator was born the year the light bulb was invented, Elon Musk is out $500 million after blowing it on failed campaigns, and the media cannot stop coming up with dumbass “blue” puns. Plus, Troy Iwata vents to Kosta about losing out on Trump’s $5K checks. The media and even some Republicans agree that the 2026 midterm bloodbath was a rejection of Donald Trump, but one political observer begs to differ: Donald Trump. Michael covers the president's insistence that he "wasn't on the ballot," his cope-heavy celebration of a GOP victory in Guam, and his renewed commitment to helping everyday Americans by continuing to obsess over the White House ballroom. Harvard Kennedy School professor and author of "Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know,” Erica Chenoweth, sits down with Michael to discuss their groundbreaking research on nonviolent resistance that led to the development of “The 3.5% Rule,” which found that no mass movements against dictatorships in the 20th century failed once they reached active participation by about 3.5% of the population.

Ronny Chieng breaks down an eventful Election Day, including a woman going into labor at her polling station, a MAGA voter applauding Trump for his “incredible fraud,” Haley Stevens upholding her tradition of changing all her political beliefs, Don Jr. worrying about Ohio gaining statehood, and Trump getting asked the most important question this midterm: Who is his best-looking administration official? Plus, Grace Kuhlenschmidt and Troy Iwata hit the streets of NYC to poke into who people voted for. Election Day 2026 is finally here, which can only mean one thing: it's time to start stressing about 2028! Josh Johnson takes a look at the growing field of will-they-won't-they candidates for the next presidential race: JD Vance is saddled with an unpresidential name AND a lousy sense of humor, Gavin Newsom endures the humiliation ritual of fly-fishing with Jake Tapper, and Sen. John Kennedy positions himself as America's anti-goober candidate. Whoever the 2028 nominees may be, the important thing is we're only two years and seven minutes away from finally talking about 2032. Award-winning novelist, Min Jin Lee chats with Ronny about her latest book, "American Hagwon." The two discuss hagwons, the specialized Korean skill schools at the center of Lee’s novel, bond over the traditions of respect, sacrifice, and discipline embedded within Asian culture and education, and debate the real value of an elite higher education.

Haley Stevens breaks ranks with Democrats by endorsing Mike Rogers, who she once called a "nightmare," right before the midterms, news networks question the polls they use to disappoint us every election cycle, and Trump is STILL talking about the reflecting pool. Jon Stewart breaks down the election week headlines and warns against overconfidence in a 2026 blue wave — because the media can't kick their poll addiction, even though they know it hurts. Michael Lewis joins Jon to discuss his new book, “Blockers: Rebels in the Deep State,” which unveils an inside look into DOGE’s inner workings and champions the civil servants who got in its way.

This week's hosting trio, Michael Kosta, Ronny Chieng, and Jordan Klepper, dive into the midterms as Election Day approaches, examining how Trump's unalloyed Muslim-bashing and bizarre butt rants are playing with his MAGA rallygoers versus the broader electorate. They discuss how Democratic candidates in high-stakes races like Michigan and Texas have evolved to meet the political moment, the outsized influence of Elon Musk, and the dubious ethics of Democrats' "Dan" shenanigans in Alaska. Plus, the hosts consider the possibility of Trump challenging the midterm results and share their latest reading and viewing recommendations in a round of Daily Show & Tell. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Catch all of the past week's great guests in one place. Investigative journalist Matthew Cole sits down with Jon Stewart to talk about his new book, “Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East.” Cole’s book chronicles a five-year investigation into Jared Kushner’s alleged “secret financial agreements and arrangements” made between Trump’s son-in-law and the rulers of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. Cole points out that Kushner’s lawyer unequivocally and emphatically denies everything in his book, but Cole remains “very confident that I have the story right.” BAFTA-winning comedian and actor Morgana Robinson chats with Jordan Klepper about her new film, “Ali G: Who Iz I.” The two discuss what it was like to stay in character through long shooting days, how they pulled off the raunchy hijinks in the film, and what the audition process was like for such a unique project. Plus, Klepper learns some new NSFW British slang. Legendary musician, artist, and author David Byrne chats with Jordan about his new book “Sleeping Beauties: Why Good Ideas Go Dormant and How They Wake Up.” The two discuss Kafka, Melville, and other historical luminaries whose greatest works often went overlooked until their rediscovery later on, how modern hubris repeatedly ignores wisdom of the past, as well as Byrne’s research process for unearthing these forgotten stories. Plus, Byrne shares his writing process behind the song “Let Me Sell You A Dream,” which he wrote and performed for the documentary, “Musk.” Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and actor Tracy Letts joins Jordan to talk about his new film, “I Play Rocky,” which chronicles the making of the 1976 film, “Rocky.” Letts shares why he doesn’t buy the legend that Sylvester Stallone wrote the entire “Rocky” screenplay in three days and what it’s like to film in the same Philadelphia neighborhoods where the original was shot. Plus, Letts explains the wonders of his digital movie collection of over 12,000 titles and what he learned performing improv in Chicago. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Catch up on the latest headlines with The Daily Show News Team. Jon Stewart dives into Trump’s midterm closing arguments, which featured an array of Islamophobic attacks against Abdul El-Sayed, bragging about oil companies' profits amid high gas prices, a quid pro quo for sick veterans, and a look into who the “you” is that Trump claims to represent. Jordan Klepper weighs in on Obama’s Cheesecake Factory diss that had MAGA obsessing over the restaurant chain, the d**k pics and ass talk eating the midterm elections alive, uproar over a second “Dan Sullivan” on Alaska's Senate ballot, and Republicans' last-ditch fearmongering campaign, including Ted Cruz calling El-Sayed a "jihadist leprechaun." -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Jordan Klepper dives into the headlines with Republicans unleashing a last-ditch tactic in this final midterm sprint: spooky stories. From socialist dystopias to jihadist leprechauns to forced gender reassignment surgeries happening at your kids’ school, nothing is off the table for these GOP tales, just in time for Halloween. But hey, that’s what happens when you can't convince voters with your actual ideas or accomplishments. As calls to tax the rich reach a fever pitch in the U.S., billionaires have become America's newest oppressed minority. Michael Kosta traveled to California to hear both sides of the wealth tax debate, with March for Billionaires organizer Derik Kauffman fighting on behalf of the nation's beleaguered top earners, and wealthy investor Tom Steyer calling his fellow billionaires "insanely selfish and delusional" for opposing it. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and actor Tracy Letts joins Jordan to talk about his new film, “I Play Rocky,” which chronicles the making of the 1976 film, “Rocky.” Letts shares why he doesn’t buy the legend that Sylvester Stallone wrote the entire “Rocky” screenplay in three days and what it’s like to film in the same Philadelphia neighborhoods where the original was shot. Plus, Letts explains the wonders of his physical movie collection of over 12,000 titles and what he learned performing improv in Chicago. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

With less than a week until the 2026 midterms, Republicans are running out of ways to expose their own weaknesses, so Tennessee congressional candidate Brent Taylor chose the most literal way: with a d**k pic scandal. Jordan Klepper breaks down Taylor's "youthful indiscretion" from when he was 53, Trump's ongoing ass tour, and the president's DOJ moving to block certification of Alaska's Senate race over confusion around two candidates named Dan Sullivan, but only if the Republican Dan loses. In this installment of In My Opinion, Charlamagne Tha God looks at how politicians and pundits are turning the 2026 midterms into a masculinity contest. From Fox News trashing Troy Jackson's manhood over a cup of boba tea to Democrats going hard at the gym in campaign ads, Charlamagne takes on the cartoonish machismo in America's political discourse with a reminder that, in the end, "being a man" comes down to character. Legendary musician, artist, and author David Byrne chats with Jordan about his new book “Sleeping Beauties: Why Good Ideas Go Dormant and How They Wake Up.” The two discuss Kafka, Melville, and other historical luminaries whose greatest works often went overlooked until their rediscovery later on, how modern hubris repeatedly ignores wisdom of the past, as well as Byrne’s research process for unearthing these forgotten stories.

Obama roasted Trump’s White House renovations, so conservative media rushes to the defense of… The Cheesecake Factory? Jordan Klepper dives into the headlines as we approach the 2026 midterms, and chats with a very fishermanly John Hodgman, who comes bearing updates on Maine’s contentious Senate race. With the 2026 midterms just a week away, one group might have an outsized influence: influencers! Desi Lydic breaks down how social media stars are becoming the lifeblood of American political campaigns, with candidates joining them to answer illuminating questions like "What are your icks?" But not all influencers are motivated by civic duty. Amid reports of candidates using campaign funds to quietly pay influencers large sums of money, Desi urges everyone to vet their sources ahead of the election. Because casting your vote on the advice of a paid political hack will always be an ick. BAFTA-winning comedian and actor Morgana Robinson chats with Jordan about her new film, “Ali G: Who Iz I.” The two discuss what it was like to stay in character through long shooting days, how they pulled off the raunchy hijinks in the film, and what the audition process was like for such a unique project.

Jon Stewart breaks down Trump’s closing argument ahead of the midterm elections, including his celebration of huge profits for oil and gas companies amid high prices, his Islamophobic vow to keep Abdul El-Sayed out of the Senate, and his plan to secure settlements for Camp Lejeune veterans… only IF Republicans win. Plus, Jon tackles Trump’s defense of abusive mothers, Obama’s slam-dunk Cheesecake Factory insult, and who the "you" is that Trump claims to represent. Investigative journalist Matthew Cole sits down with Jon to talk about his new book, “Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East.” Cole’s book chronicles a five-year investigation into Jared Kushner’s alleged “secret financial agreements and arrangements” made between Trump’s son-in-law and the rulers of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.

Jordan Klepper and Daily Show Supervising Producer Ian Berger kick off the week with a preview of Klepper's special, Red Flags, which premieres TONIGHT after The Daily Show. They discuss the whirlwind experience of turning around a 24-minute special in only 20 days and how, with the midterms approaching, the GOP is serving up a "turducken of fear" in an incoherent mishmash of McCarthyism and Islamophobia. Plus, Klepper explores how MAGA rallygoers in Middle American states like Nebraska have positioned NYC Mayor Mamdani as their unlikely boogeyman, while their Texas counterparts are obsessing over God's genitals in their attacks on Senate candidate James Talarico. Finally, Klepper and Ian wrap things up with a round of Daily Show & Tell and look ahead to this week's guests: Morgana Robinson, David Byrne, and Tracy Letts. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Best-selling author and Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones, David Corn, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss his latest book, "How Russia Won: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." They talk about Trump’s fixation on teaming up with Vladimir Putin, how Trump’s “man crush” on Putin drove him to sign a diesel fuel deal with Russia in spite of the war in Ukraine, Putin embodying Trump’s dream of wealth with full authority, and how Trump employs the theory of “big f**ks small.” Death Cab for Cutie’s lead singer, Ben Gibbard, joins Michael Kosta to talk about the band’s 11th studio album, “I Built You a Tower,” an exploration of how we compartmentalize grief just to get through the day. Gibbard looks back on 30 years of making music, how songwriting feels like therapy (but shouldn’t replace actual therapy), and how he finds transcendence while running ultramarathons. Academy Award-winning writer and director Taika Waititi joins Ronny Chieng to discuss his new film “Klara and the Sun.” The two discuss working with a star-studded cast to create an unexpectedly topical film about robot friends, shooting the film in New Zealand, and how the film industry in Waititi’s home country has changed over the years. Plus, Ronny shares his experience working with Waititi and how the director prioritizes giving back to the communities that make his movies possible. Actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang sits down with longtime friend Ronny Chieng to discuss his third comedy special, “Finally Home.” Yang chats about returning to Hong Kong to connect to his roots 25 years after moving to America, how finding his childhood diary inspired his new special, and the differences between the comment sections on Chinese and American social media.

Midterm mania continues with competitive races turning deep-red states purple, or at least… burgundy red? Ronny Chieng breaks down the headlines, including Trump professing his love for Sen. Tim Scott and bragging about his favorite presidential side hustle: renaming bodies of water. Plus, Michael Kosta defends Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson after Susan Collins points out that his family tree has some funky branches. When a new Trump outrage hits the news cycle, Chief Deniability Officer Sheryl B. Bahama (Grace Kuhlenschmidt) steps in to provide GOP lawmakers with a protective layer of ignorance. Whether she's kidnapping Mike Johnson or brain-wiping Tommy Tuberville, Sheryl makes sure Republicans can respond to uncomfortable questions about Trump with a confident "I don't know."

A guffawing JD Vance struggles to remember what he’s good at, a Venezuelan billionaire knows the way to Trump’s heart is a bribe, and Ronny Chieng gets down to the real reason Pete Hegseth’s livestream firing squad got canceled: ableism? In this edition of In My Opinion, Mo Amer looks at how Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed remains a formidable candidate despite facing a barrage of increasingly unhinged Islamophobia. Mo explains that El-Sayed is neutralizing his attackers with a not-so-secret weapon: He's likable! Just as Zohran Mamdani was able to charm and disarm President Trump, El-Sayed is winning over people like Fox News's Jesse Watters by being a relatable guy with charisma to spare... and the TikTok dance moves to match. Academy Award-winning writer and director Taika Waititi joins Ronny to discuss his new film “Klara and the Sun.” The two discuss working with a star-studded cast to create an unexpectedly topical film about robot friends, shooting the film in New Zealand, and how the film industry in Waititi’s home country has changed over the years.

With the midterms in the homestretch, Trump gets horny over male Republican candidates, a pro-Vivek Ramaswamy ad recruits his opponent's mom to attack her, a Fayette County Council candidate locks in for a drunk interview about AI and guns, and Michael Kosta wonders if Trump has spent more time thinking about Jon Husted's butt or the Iran War. Jordan Klepper profiles Trump's newest former press secretary, Katie Zacharia, who was fired after just five days on the job. Between Zacharia's disastrous first press briefing, her bona fides as a seasoned conspiracy theorist, and her extensive experience as an almost-lawyer, Klepper tries to get to the bottom of why Trump would reject someone who clearly had the whole MAGA package. Death Cab for Cutie’s lead singer, Ben Gibbard, joins Michael to talk about the band’s 11th studio album, “I Built You a Tower,” an exploration of how we compartmentalize grief just to get through the day.

Paris is burning, Trump is back to kissing Putin’s ass, and there’s a new war to blame for bank-breaking gas prices.

Catch all of the past week's great guests in one place. Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic and OpenAI researcher who spoke out about the dangers of artificial intelligence, opens up to Jon Stewart about the grim reality of the tech industry— from malicious hacks to potential biological attacks.

Kimberly Guilfoyle takes a page out of the Trump corruption playbook by reportedly demanding a $100,000 Amex payment from pizza exec Eric Deters, who found himself disappointed when she didn't get his s**tty music into the hands of MAGA loyalist Kid Rock. This was apparently the last straw that led Deters to rat her out, which has Michael Kosta wondering how to know who can give you the best value for your bribe. Trump's plan to build 27 miles of border wall in Arizona's San Rafael Valley is aimed at keeping immigrants out, but it comes with one major complication: How are the local jaguars supposed to f**k?

Lewis Black has no problem with the whole dying thing, but not everyone shares his passionate yearning for the bright light. In this edition of Back in Black, Lewis looks at how anti-aging biohackers are doing everything they can to delay the inevitable, from tech tycoon Bryan Johnson getting injected with his son's plasma to TikTokers sleeping 12 hours a night and eating "organ meats."

As the threats posed by AI models continue to grow, AI oligarchs struggle to explain the upsides of their technology. Jon Stewart breaks down the latest tech headlines, including Trump’s refusal to regulate AI and CEOs’ awkward attempts to make human annihilation seem less scary (at least Grok can make funny videos!).

Catch all of the past week's great guests in one place.  Wall Street Journal foreign correspondent Evan Gershkovich joins Jon Stewart to talk about his new memoir, “This Cursed Beautiful Land: A Russian-American Story.” Gershkovich, who spent 16 months imprisoned in Russia on false espionage charges, breaks down how a source, a second meeting, and a Putin pep talk to the FSB landed him in Russian prison. He discusses growing up in a Russian-speaking home, what drew him to reporting in Russia, life pre-imprisonment, and how he ultimately became a bargaining chip in a Putin-led prisoner swap scheme. He also weighs in on what a post-Putin Russia might look like and the totalitarian warning signs he sees in the U.S. Booker Prize-winning and bestselling author Marlon James sits down with Jordan Klepper to discuss his new novel “The Disappearers," which The New York Times called "the novel of the decade, if not the century.” James discusses his childhood in Jamaica, where he hid his sexuality by learning to disappear; his use of violence and sex in his work; and literature’s role in keeping a historical record for those typically erased from mainstream history. Irish musician CMAT joins Jordan to discuss her acclaimed third album, “Euro-Country.” They talk about how she weaves profound lyricism with Western melodies, what it means for her music to embody “funeral humor,” why the Irish psyche loves country music, and how the title track examines the repercussions of politicians’ actions. John Wilson joins Jordan to discuss his new documentary, “The History of Concrete.” The creator of “How To with John Wilson” shares how he finds beauty in the mundane through his unique shooting and editing style, how he scored an uninterrupted shot of Kim Kardashian at a fancy dinner party, and what happens when you spend your entire film budget on a creepy wax museum in Rome. Jordan also pitches an idea for Wilson’s next documentary project. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Jordan Klepper gets into the headlines: Famously pro-Hispanic President Trump hosts a Hispanic Heritage Month event at the White House, and even invents a new stereotype to honor the occasion! Pete Hegseth purges the U.S. military's “beardos, weirdos, wimps, and radicals,” which has us wondering where that leaves… most of his fellow cabinet members. Plus, Josh Johnson comes to us live from the Pentagon with exciting updates from Hegseth’s star-studded team tasked with studying the future of warfare. In this installment of In My Opinion, Nick Offerman dives into Gen Z's technology problem, as young people are now spending over six hours a day on their phones and having less sex than previous generations. But Offerman is happy to report that they’ve found a simple, low-tech antidote to this technological albatross: hobbies! From pottery to birdwatching to collecting miniatures, Gen Z is leaning into the joy of hobbies as a respite from a tech world supercharged by AI. And as one of America's premier hobbyists, Offerman couldn't be prouder. John Wilson joins Jordan to discuss his new documentary, “The History of Concrete.” The creator of “How To with John Wilson” shares how he finds beauty in the mundane through his unique shooting and editing style, how he scored an uninterrupted shot of Kim Kardashian at a fancy dinner party, and what happens when you spend your entire film budget on a creepy wax museum in Rome.

Jordan Klepper breaks down the headlines, including an AI summit in Washington that left us with exactly the same amount of federal AI regulation (read: none). Plus, former Trump prosecutor Jack Smith appears before the Senate to answer questions about his “misconduct,” and Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt falls on his proverbial ass on live TV when his ambush of Smith backfires spectacularly. By the way, did anyone see that Atlanta Hawks game? Neither did Jack Smith. Irish musician CMAT joins Jordan to discuss her acclaimed third album, “Euro-Country.” They talk about how she weaves profound lyricism with Western melodies, what it means for her music to embody “funeral humor,” why the Irish psyche loves country music, and how the title track examines the repercussions of politicians’ actions. --To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump runs a taxpayer-funded ad that infuriates liberals, and Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders runs an ad that is TOO white for conservatives? Maybe they’re finally getting behind DEI. Jordan Klepper dives into the political ad controversy as well as some exciting announcements from the Trump administration: You can now apply for your first passport entirely online and ask the America.gov AI chatbot for help remembering your Social Security number! Plus, Klepper chats with the star of Huckabee Sanders’s controversial ad: Brad (Grace Kuhlenschmidt). As America celebrates its 250th, we must also remember all the great Americans we lost along the way. Jordan enlists Michael Kosta to do the honors with America 250: In Memoriam.

Jon Stewart examines the limits of Republican allegiance to Trump after his weekend of wooing President Xi with granite, helipads, and an exclusive tour of the White House ballroom. Will MAGA loyalists denounce Trump's offer to sell weapons to China, America's supposed enemy, or is their frustration with the president a Susan Collins-style display of feigned outrage? Wall Street Journal foreign correspondent Evan Gershkovich joins Jon to talk about his new memoir, “This Cursed Beautiful Land: A Russian-American Story.” Gershkovich, who spent 16 months imprisoned in Russia on false espionage charges, breaks down how a source, a second meeting, and a Putin pep talk to the FSB landed him in Russian prison.

Ari Emanuel, of TKO and WME Group, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss his new memoir, “Roll the Calls.” The two discuss what Emanuel has learned over his legendary career: how to advocate for himself despite his dyslexia, how to channel anger and ego into a successful business, and how to stand up for the values you believe in. Plus, hear why Emanuel thinks his brother Rahm would be an incredible president— even though he’s NOT running. Grammy-winning artist Tom Morello sits down with Desi Lydic to discuss his new solo album, “Everyone Gets Everything They Want.” Morello shares how this is the heaviest thing he’s made since the first Rage Against the Machine album, how he lured his 15-year-old son, Roman, into a guitar career using “Stairway to Heaven” and how Roman ended up co-writing five songs on the album. He also discusses his upcoming festival, Power to the People, and credits his late activist mother, Mary, as the reason he believes every guitar riff can be an act of resistance. Jessica Tarlov, co-host of "The Five" on Fox News and the "Raging Moderates" podcast, joins Desi to chat about her new book "I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends." The pair discuss going toe-to-toe with co-hosts across the aisle, taking criticism in stride (especially from the president), and how the first step to changing minds is opening doors.

Trump can’t find Marco Rubio during his U.N. speech, and Jeanine Pirro seizes a Martian meteorite for some reason (shouldn’t that be the Space Force’s job?). Desi Lydic breaks down the headlines, including a BIG week for First Lady Melania Trump, who’s launching her second documentary passion project and putting Brian Kilmeade to sleep in the process. Michael Kosta plunges into the latest batch of midterm candidates caught up in scandal: Florida congressional hopeful Te Brown tries to lay low from the cops while running for office in two different states, New York candidate Chris Gallant's bondage pics put him in a bind, Michigan salsa entrepreneur Tom Smith takes heat for his far-right tweets, and Ohio's Brian Poindexter allegedly tried to swallow a crack rock at a traffic stop.

Desi Lydic dives into the headlines with Trump’s press ban leaving him speechless (literally, he has no mic anymore). Plus, "AI" is out and “super intelligence” is in as the president coins a new term for his favorite humanity-threatening technology. And at the U.N., Trump’s passion for AI and starting beef come together as he dunks on other countries (and CNN), though by the looks of things, their delegates couldn’t care less. Either way, at least he still got to bro out with his favorite socialist Zohran Mamdani before leaving NYC. The great thing about America is anyone can run for office, and no one exemplifies that more than John Alite, a former mob enforcer turned New Jersey councilman. After doing time for "every crime you could think about," Alite turned his back on his hitman days and became a public servant in Englishtown, NJ. Josh Johnson had a sit-down with Alite to see how his extensive resume of bad deeds puts him in a unique position to do some good for his fellow New Jerseyans, and to find out whether this goodfella's redemption story is too good to be true. Grammy-winning artist Tom Morello sits down with Desi to discuss his new solo album, “Everyone Gets Everything They Want.” Morello shares how this is the heaviest thing he’s made since the first Rage Against the Machine album, how he lured his 15-year-old son, Roman, into a guitar career using “Stairway to Heaven” and how Roman ended up co-writing five songs on the album.

Jon Stewart takes on the White House’s new press ban for major media outlets with the help of Desi Lydic, who was able to sneak into the Oval Office disguised as a golden cherub.

Brooks talks about shooting on-location in Watts, honoring the real woman her character is inspired by, and what motherhood has taught her about the roles she takes. Super Bowl quarterback, civil rights activist, and bestselling author Colin Kaepernick joins Josh Johnson to discuss his new memoir, "The Perilous Fight." They reflect on the 10-year anniversary of Kaepernick's kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality, the idea that activism doesn't need to be earned, it's required for society to work, and a reframing of risk assessment in activism that asks, "What do we risk if we don't take action?" Defector Media staff writer & cofounder and bestselling author, Giri Nathan, sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss his book “Changeover: A Young Rivalry and a New Era of Men's Tennis," about the rise and rivalry of pro tennis players Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expanding NYC’s public restrooms, which is good because the war in Iran is once again going to s**t. Michael Kosta breaks down how the war continues to drive up prices, including the price of diesel (the fuel, not the jeans brand). Plus, move over, Strait of Hormuz: a hot, new, geopolitically tense strait has entered the villa. Ronny Chieng and Michael Kosta butt heads over the biggest sports stories of the day: NY Giants quarterback Jameis Winston goes on a cologne-spritzing spree in the locker room, Sydney Sweeney takes heat for her naked Novig sports betting ad, and an Australian athlete becomes the Usain Bolt of sharting, in the latest edition of Sports War.

With the U.S. and Canada mired in a full-blown trade war, Ronny Chieng pays a visit to a Canadian bar in New York City to find out how America's neighbors to the north are feeling about the unhinged bully to their south. And as it turns out, between Trump's punishing tariffs and the notion of becoming America's 51st state, the whole thing is enough to make a Canadian utter the friendliest "f**k off" ever.

Mitch McConnell dispels rumors about his death just in time for Anthropic insiders to announce that AI could kill us all in as little as six months. Thumbs up, Mitch! Josh Johnson dives into the headlines, including Trump’s answer to the urgent threat of AI: Everything will be fine as long as we have a “high IQ president." Which might be a problem.
