Check out all of this week's great guests.

Republican Governor Spencer Cox joins Jon Stewart to discuss his new book, “Off Ramp: How to Be a Peacemaker in an Age of Contempt,” and reveals how the assassination of Charlie Kirk in his home state of Utah pushed him to finish writing it. Gov. Cox believes genuine, good-faith debate is the only way out of America’s polarization crisis and explains how Utah’s handling of religious freedom and LGBTQ+ rights shows that opposing sides can find common ground. Jon debates the governor over whether the solution to America’s polarization starts with individuals talking to each other or with the system itself changing first.

Michael Kosta sits down with best-selling author and New Yorker staff writer Jia Tolentino to chat about her latest piece, "Our Plastic-Surgery Nightmare.” The two discuss “Instagram face,” a term Tolentino coined in 2019, and how social media algorithms, AI, and big tech are tainting our perception of beauty.

Tony Award-winning and Oscar-nominated actor Andrew Garfield sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss his new film, “The Uprising.” They talk about how the peasant uprising of 1381 serves as a “long-distance mirror” to the political landscape of today, how acting serves as an empathy machine even when playing characters like Sam Altman, and what young men can learn from Carlos Alcaraz’s elegant U.S. Open loss.

Jon Stewart examines how Trump's presidential delusions have him escalating his trade war with Canada, renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America," and denying the rising cost of living for the average citizen. Michael Kosta weighs in on the GOP skipping Trump's midterm convention in Dallas, the right-wing backlash over Mayor Mamdani commemorating the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and the president's midterm promise of a $5,000 "dividend" for Americans if Republicans win.

Trump’s Republican Midterm Convention flops with low turnout, empty promises, and GOP behavior that is just straight up weird (we’re looking at you, Tim Scott). Michael Kosta dives into the highlights, including Trump’s pledge to give out $5,000 "dividends" if the GOP wins the House and Senate, the president's unhelpful roast of Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton, and an onstage gavel that is just… too big. Plus, Desi Lydic hypes up the convention to Kosta, and even throws in some hand stuff.

Troy Iwata rounds up the latest international headlines that prove America isn't the only country with problems: British kids line up for a Titanic-themed slide, an Italian man gets busted for peddling a fake ancient theater, and Hitler's birthplace finds new life as a police station, in another edition of So Not Our Problem!

Michael Kosta dives into the Trump-headlined Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas and the growing list of GOP candidates making excuses not to attend. Plus, J.D. Vance “celebrates” the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and Jordan Klepper weighs in on Mayor Mamdani’s commemorations, including his symbolic (and HIGHLY suspicious) pen antics.

Josh Johnson takes a deep dive into the bizarre story of Daejon Love, a man arrested for allegedly scamming women out of $1.3 million by posing as a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers. Josh marvels at the lengths Love went to maintain his fake NFL persona, from sharing sloppy "training" videos to conspicuously carrying his helmet at the beach, and proposes a novel punishment that fits the crime.
