Show notes

Jon Stewart closes out the last night of the DNC live from Chicago with a recap of the convention, including Kamala Harris's spotlight moment, Oprah's cat lady cam, and a roster of speakers as diverse and contradictory as the Democratic party itself. Jon also shows Dems what real joy looks like and tries to make sense of Fox News's convention coverage. The Best F**king News Team also share their thoughts on the party's embrace of small town values, which apparently means patriotically loving God and baking lots and lots of pies to give to neighbors. Plus, Jason Bateman narrates the story of Kamala Harris shockingly normal life. From her birth in a year that makes her a very normal age to be president now, to a classic college job at McDonald's, to her time in the senate barely getting noticed for anything, Kamala is breaking with recent presidential tradition by being totally f**king normal.
