Jon Stewart On The False Promises of AI | Lina Khan

Jordan Klepper dives into Trump’s latest adventures in pettiness, from framing Biden’s autopen signature among portraits in the Presidential Walk of Fame to framing James Comey for crimes despite getting a political assist from the former FBI director in 2016. Plus, Troy Iwata explains how Lindsey Halligan’s appointment to U.S. Attorney despite her lack of experience is giving major “Legally Blonde” vibes. Trump and MAGA want to whitewash the history of slavery in the U.S. from Smithsonian museums because they think racism is talked about too much, but Leslie Jones says we're actually not talking about racism enough. She shows how racism persists in the country, seen everywhere from train cars to Congress, and explains how racism won't be solved unless everyone gets a better education about Black people in the classroom and in the media. Actor Regina Hall joins Jordan to talk about her new movie, “One Battle After Another,” directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. They talk about her first time meeting the filmmaker, the film’s themes, which echo present-day social issues, how she used her comedy chops even in a dramatic role, and acting alongside a scene-stealing baby.

Jordan Klepper recaps Trump and RFK's latest pseudo-scientific bombshells: Tylenol causes autism, vaccines flood baby bodies, and the Amish are leading the world in modern medicine. Plus, which Daily Show correspondents made the list for Rapture Tuesday? Jordan dives into Trump’s appearance at the United Nations General Assembly, where global diplomacy and updates on Ukraine played second fiddle to his grudge against an out-of-order escalator. John Fugelsang, host of "Tell Me Everything" on SiriusXM Progress and author of the New York Times Bestseller "Separation of Church and Hate" talks to Jordan about how MAGA and the far-right have wrongly co-opted Christianity as a cloak for authoritarianism and bigotry – the opposite of Jesus's call for individuals and states to "take care of the poor, take care of the sick, welcome the stranger, and be kind to those in prison.” Fugelsang traces back a long history of non-violent Christian activism, from the Crusades through the Civil Rights Movement, and urges all those on the left to engage with Christianity, even if only to combat the narrow version of the bible that Trump and MAGA are trying to impose.
