Jon Stewart on Trump’s Heel Turn on Zelenskyy & Elon's Interview Challenge | Matthew Desmond
Tue, 04 Mar 2025
Jon Stewart dives into the Oval Office meeting between Trump, Vance, and Zelenskyy, which shocked viewers more than John Cena's heel-turn. Plus, Jon calls bulls**t on Elon Musk's challenge to an interview. Sociologist at Princeton University and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Evicted,” Matthew Desmond sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss his latest book, “Poverty, by America.” They talk about America’s welfare state, how society benefits from poverty, the opportunity to close the poverty gap if the top one percent paid their taxes, and empowering the poor with better choices like building worker power, and expanding housing choice. They also highlight how Democrats need to get more serious about economic justice to fully commit to poverty abolitionism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

show. How are you? My name is John Stewart. Thank you. Oh, man. Thank you. We got a great showboy tonight. I'm very excited.
As you can see, I am fully healed. This is what caused all the commotion. They glued it back together. Where is it? They glued it back together. Boom. That's all. That's it. That's what nearly brought an old man down. A tiny punctured wound that all the blood in my body went, let's go! We got a hell of a show tonight.
My guest, sociologist and author Matthew Desmond is going to be... They love him. They love him. Fresh off his upset win as best supporting actor. And the crowd goes wild. But first, if I can just pick up something from the last time that I was out here. I made a bit of a critique of Elon Musk and the Doge program. Let me reset the scene. I am not allowed to have big boy mugs anymore.
There was an actual meeting of the safety department of Paramount and Viacom that was like, no more ceramic for Mr. Stewart. So they wanted to baby-proof. So this is... Anyway, we had some critiques about Doge after the show Governor Musk tweeted, or X'd, I guess, that he would like to come on here and talk to me as long as the show airs unedited.
