The Weekly Stewart This Week
On this “The Weekly Show” podcast with Jon Stewart, his guests are investigative journalist Radley Balko and Joseph Cox, co-founder of 404 Media. As the show writes, “Following the violent crackdown on protesters in Minneapolis, Jon is joined by Radley Balko and Joseph Cox. Together, they examine the tools and tactics being used by ICE, explore how technological advances are being weaponized to hypercharge state power, and discuss what the merger of surveillance and immigration enforcement means for the future of civil liberties in America.”
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.
