The Weekly Show This Week

On this “The Weekly Show” podcast with Jon Stewart, his guest is former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.  As the show writes, "As the economy reels from Trump's sweeping tariffs, Jon is joined by Pete Buttigieg to examine the fallout. Together, they explore what Trump's levies mean for everyday Americans, discuss how to bridge the divide between politicians and the people they serve, and consider how a new generation of leadership might rebuild in the years ahead.

As I’ve noted, the show now provides a nice feature, a sort of "breakdown" of when specific topics are covered during the conversation, so you can jump to the sections that most interest you.  If you watch the video on YouTube, those time codes are hyperlinked to the video and will jump you automatically to the right spot.  But for those who choose to watch it here, this is the schedule, and you can just manually go to where you want, if you decide not to watch the whole thing.
