What Democrats Still Don’t Get about MAGA (ft. Jordan Klepper of The Daily Show)

In a post-Trump world, what will happen to the MAGA base? Jessica Tarlov is joined by comedian and The Daily Show co-host Jordan Klepper to talk through it. Jordan has spent the past decade at Trump rallies, talking with voters on the right about what they believe, who they distrust, and what’s really galvanizing their movement.

Jessica and Jordan also discuss White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s latest attempt to avoid accountability for strikes in Iran, Lindsey Graham’s lust for being close to power, and whether or not Democrats can transform from a party widely seen as feckless and ineffective in opposition to Trump… into a movement inspired by authenticity, community, and even fun. 

And, in a media landscape dominated by right-wing corporate conglomeration on the one hand and online creators on the other hand, how has The Daily Show — a thirty-year-old television program — managed to actually gain Gen Z viewers?
