A batch of newly surfaced Epstein emails sparks Trump’s fight-or-flight mode, a diversionary DOJ investigation into the Democrats, and a Fox News crash out as pundits try to downplay the Epstein files. While rumors swirl about a jaw-dropping degree of closeness between Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, Jon Stewart urges the GOP to hold their Epstein sleuthing to the same standard as their investigation into the QAnon Pizzagate conspiracy. CNN's Chief International Anchor and host of the global affairs program, "Amanpour," Christiane Amanpour sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss how the Epstein scandal has highlighted the importance of truth-based journalism. They talk about using investigative journalism to combat authoritarianism and hold the “invincible” elite accountable, and how the “drip, drip, drip” story of the Epstein files has fed itself and divided MAGA.

In the wake of Democrats' decision to end the government shutdown, Jon Stewart returns to his prediction that they were going to piss away last week’s hard-earned electoral victories. With nothing to gain from caving, momentum on their side, and a deeply unpopular president, Jon compares the Democrats to the New York Giants, who at least had the good sense to fire their coach. Rep. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania and Rep. Pat Ryan of New York, who are both Iraq war veterans and members of the House Armed Services Committee, talk to Jon about how the Trump administration prioritizes a trillion dollar military budget over the livelihood of veterans and service members. They also point out where Democratic leadership is lacking, especially after the party’s “weak” concession to end the government shutdown without any gains for their healthcare agenda, and how Americans across the political spectrum are asking for representatives who will fight for them when it matters.

In the Art of the Altercation, Desi Lydic unpacks Donald Trump’s long and tumultuous relationship with New York, a home he once called "the greatest city in the world," but now, as president, thinks is a crime-infested hellhole that needs to be punished. NYU professor, co-host of the Pivot podcast, and bestselling author, Scott Galloway, joins Jordan to discuss his latest book, "Notes on Being a Man." Galloway explains how modern men are leaning into masculinity as a code, how our country's male role models don’t exemplify “protectors,” big tech’s ploy to sequester men from relationships, the value of being physically and emotionally involved in young men's lives, and how empathy towards men in crisis isn’t a zero-sum game.

Desi Lydic covers Trump's state visit to South Korea, where he was honored with a "Yas King" rally, a golden crown, and the unofficial U.S. presidential anthem, "YMCA." Meanwhile, millions of Trump's constituents face a hunger crisis as SNAP benefits run out of funding due to the never-ending shutdown, and the GOP pretends there's nothing they can do about it. Not to worry, though, because Michael Kosta has a list of billionaire sugar daddies who are happy to step in and help, as long as Americans don't mind getting a little freaky. Democrats have been riding high since the success of the “No Kings” protests and the emergence of Democratic prospects like Zohran Mamdani.
