The Weekly Show This Week
On this “The Weekly Show” podcast with Jon Stewart, his guest is Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS. As the show writes, “As the Trump administration continues to operate with unchecked power, Jon is joined by Fareed Zakaria. Together, they explore how Trump has flouted the rule of law at home and abroad, investigate how his approach to Venezuela and international relations fits into his unifying theory of power, and discuss where this philosophy might ultimately lead. Plus, Jon talks the Clintons & Epstein, Daily Show vs. Weekly Show, and joining Instagram!”
As I’ve noted, the show provides a "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.
