Jon Stewart dives into Trump (and his doppelganger) photobombing Spain at the FIFA final, using a primetime presidential speech to rehash his 2020 election conspiracy theories, and how his administration's non-DEI meritocracy is faring amid a rash of T-tests, measles outbreaks, a failed 250th celebration, and an algae-filled reflecting pool.

Former chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, Ben Wikler, sits down with Jon to discuss his new book, “This Is The Plan: How to End America’s Meltdown and Save Democracy.” Together, they unravel the story of how Democrats flipped Wisconsin from the gerrymandered Republican stronghold to a state with a Democratic governor, pro-democracy state Supreme Court, and fairer legislative maps. They talk about the strategy behind Wisconsin’s political turnaround, beating Elon Musk’s record-breaking spending in a state Supreme Court race, the importance of WI Democratic Party leaders letting the voters decide the gubernatorial primary race, and what it will take to rebuild the Democratic Party’s power nationally.
