John welcomes Maggie Haberman, New York Times White House Correspondent and author of the bestselling “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump & The Breaking of America,” to discuss the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein imbroglio and why Trump has thus far been entirely unsuccessful in his efforts to stanch the bleeding from what may prove to be the most damaging of his many self-inflicted political wounds. Plus: Maggie's take on Stephen Colbert's cancellation, Jon Stewart's defense of his friend and profane broadside against their shared corporate parent, and Bruce Springsteen as the most eloquent and powerful voice of the Trump 2.0 resistance.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In response to CBS's announcement that Stephen Colbert's late night talk show had been canceled, Jon Stewart railed against the network and its parent company, Paramount, accusing them of prioritizing an $8 billion merger with Skydance and political appeasement over the value of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.  Stewart argues that the decision was more political than economic, although he admits that the Colbert show was not cost-effective and outdated, comparing it to Blockbuster Video and Tower Records. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger mock Stewart's diatribe, noting that he has long played the role of establishment insider pushing dominant narratives about the Ukraine War, COVID and any number of other topics. Plus segments on Tulsi Gabbard's explosive Russiagate accusations against President Obama and Rep. Thomas Massie pushing back hard against Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump to get the Epstein files released. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

So we now know what AG Pam Bondi has long known and then relayed to Donald Trump: he's on "the list." Democrats in the House are eager to have that information coughed up so Speaker Mike Johnson shut the House down for five weeks. The White House kitchen is going to need more ketchup.Meanwhile, the first WSJ bombshell on this was that Trump allegedly drew a "bawdy" birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein, but Trump doesn't draw (he does) or use the word 'enigma' (he has) or ... ehh, Jon Stewart spells it out quite well. ------All of this makes me nostalgic for when we only focused on divisive social issues; who's with me? Well, far be it for opinionated men (hey, I'm one, too ...) to sound off on WNBA players wanting a pay raise. Who do these women who're playing while the league's finally turning a profit for the first time in it's 28-plus year history think they are? Uhm, maybe the current players a) aren't responsible for the league's past but b) are responsible for its present and future, in the green?------Senator Jon Ossoff held a rally in Savannah late last week and all indications are "Trump is on the ballot" in his mind. I reviewed his 20-plus minute speeach where Donald figured prominently.

Ben Crump promoted a man who filmed and shared a video that made him seem like a victim of police brutality. However, this clip was taken out of context. The bodycam footage clearly shows that the individual was not cooperative. Jon Stewart went viral with his song "Go F Yourself," which he performed while hosting "The Daily Show." Jason Whitlock was joined by Delano Squires, Kevin Donahue, and Shemeka Michelle to discuss whether Stewart was mocking the black church. Additionally, the FBI has confirmed that Donald Trump is named in the Epstein files. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As Trump's pressure campaigns target universities, media outlets, and private companies, Jon is joined by former US Attorney Preet Bharara, host of "Stay Tuned with Preet," and Dan Pfeiffer, co-host of "Pod Save America" and author of "Message Box." Together, they examine the tools available to presidents to coerce independent institutions, explore the loopholes in our democratic guardrails that enable such pressure, and consider whether a future Democratic administration could—or should—repair the vulnerabilities Trump is exploiting or use them for its own purposes.

We explain why the biggest problem in late-night television is the hosts...on the broadcast networks. We compare clips of Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel...to show the difference between hosts.

Happy 4th of July! In today's classic episode of 'Will Cain Country,' Will shares a deep conversation with his good friend, former 'Fox & Friends Weekend' co-host, and current Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. Yes, the same Pete Hegseth who Jon Stewart called one of the most sexually attractive men in news. From laughs to serious ground, Will and Pete cover the launch of the Texas Stock Exchange, but the centerpiece of the discussion is Pete's book, The War on Warriors. He argues that the U.S. military, once America's most meritocratic institution, is being hollowed out by DEI mandates, CRT dogma, and political careerism. Pete shares raw, real stories from active-duty service members and calls out leadership by name, including General Mark Milley. They close with the big questions: Can Trump fix this in a second term? Should we bring back the draft? And what's the greatest threat to America today? (Spoiler: it's not China.) Do you think we have some of those answers today? This is a conversation that hits hard and shows why President Donald Trump tapped Pete as Secretary of Defense.

Quotes from the episode Human beings make mistakes. We make mistakes as part of learning. We make mistakes just being in the world. -Jessamyn Neuhaus Academia generally attracts people with perfectionist tendencies. -Jessamyn Neuhaus Sometimes there is no positive outcome when something goes wrong. Sometimes things just get messed up because people are human. -Jessamyn Neuhaus Inadvertently we have a subtext that teaching is somehow perfectible.

Amid growing fears about where the Israel-Iran conflict leads, Jon is joined by Ben Rhodes, co-host of "Pod Save the World" and former Deputy National Security Advisor, and Christiane Amanpour, CNN's Chief International Anchor and host of "Christiane and The Ex Files with Jamie Rubin." Together, they trace the complex history that brought us to this moment, examine Trump's response to the escalation, and explore why achieving peace remains far more challenging than waging war.
