On this The Weekly Show podcast with Jon Stewart, his guest is MS NOW's Ali Velshi, host of Velshi and co-host of It's Happening with Velshi and Ruhle. As the show writes, “At a moment when both Trump and the public are reflecting on his administration's direction, Jon is joined by Ali Velshi. Together, they discuss the economic realities of immigration, explore what it would take to restore a flourishing American middle class, and examine how the media might rebuild public trust in a shifting information landscape. Plus, Jon predicts SOTU and doesn’t let up on 'Punch' the Monkey!"
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.
