The Weekly Stewart This Week
This is a “The Weekly Show” podcast with Jon Stewart from last June that I never got around to posting. But it seems extremely well-timed for the news today, so I dug back into my files to track it down again.
The show writes that “On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we reflect on how the US military saved democracy from fascism. This week, as the Senate marks up next year’s defense spending bill, Jon Stewart sits down with Bill Hartung of the Quincy Institute and Roxana Tiron of Bloomberg to investigate whether our arsenal is still bolstering democracy, both abroad and at home. From the active conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza to our rivalry with China, we explore the efficacy of U.S. strategy. Plus, we dive deep into the ballooning defense budget and discuss Jon’s attempts to shine a light on it all.”
