Trump Fights ABC Interviewer Over Photoshopped Image | Presidential Biographer Jon Meacham May 01, 2025

Show notes

From the dark halls of Santa Monica to the caves of the Trump administration, Stephen Miller has been working in the shadows as the White House Chief of Staff. From influencing election denial to mass deportations, can Stephen Miller’s vampiric bite kill American democracy?

They talk about biographing imperfect presidents who bent history, the origins of the first 100 days under the Roosevelt administration, Trump’s unprecedented destruction of democratic institutions, and how the partisanship of facts has transformed reality into a reality show.

Trump Hits 100 Days & Canada Celebrates By Electing the Anti-Trump | Katherine Maher Apr 30, 2025

Show notes

On Trump’s official second 100th day in office, Jordan Klepper delves into his lack of follow-through, including the division he’s sown, his back-and-forth on tariffs and firings, and taunting Canada until they elected a liberal prime minister.

Trump let Elon Musk take a chainsaw to the federal workforce in order to save taxpayers money, but after hearing from some of the government employees who lost their jobs, Desi Lydic is starting to think the real waste, fraud, and abuse was living inside DOGE this whole time.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher joins Jordan Klepper to stress the important functions of public media that are under threat from the Trump administration, especially educational children’s programming and local reporting in rural areas where public radio is often the only source for local news. She also defends NPR’s journalism against critics who claim it is liberally biased, while extending an invitation for more conservative voices to express their perspectives on NPR, and emphasizes that the mandate of public media is to serve the whole population of the U.S., which includes diverse and underserved communities.

Jon on Trump's First 100 Days: Destroying America's Reputation, Economy, and Leverage Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

Jon Stewart takes a look at Trump’s first 100 days: from plummeting approval ratings to unfulfilled promises on immigration, health, and the economy, to destroying his reputation as a shrewd negotiator with China and Ukraine.

Chris Hughes, an economist and the author of “Marketcrafters,” sits down to unpack the economy’s fall under Trump and how understanding how politicians have shaped markets to work better could be its solution. They discuss how both parties have used marketcrafting to benefit Americans, whether the current economy requires an intervention, the need for institutions to help marketcrafting directly affect people over corporations, and his belief in a positive agenda for the future. Plus, as a co-founder of Facebook, Hughes weighs in on the company’s involvement with the Trump administration.
