The Weekly Stewart This Week
On this “The Weekly Show” podcast with Jon Stewart, his guest is Rory Stewart, former British Cabinet Minister and current co-host of “The Rest is Politics.” As the show writes, “As Trump's actions and rhetoric rock the global economy, Jon is joined by Rory Stewart. Together, they examine the rapidly shifting relationships between the U.S. and its traditional allies, discuss the opportunities these shifts create for China, explore which policies and failures have contributed to the rise of populist leaders worldwide, and consider what these developments mean for the future of the West.”
