About this episode

Jake Tapper opens CNN Tonight talking about UK Prime Minister Liz Truss’ abrupt departure from office after only six-weeks, following her ‘Truss-nomics’ causing the British economy to implode. He focuses on what happened and why, and also considers if the turmoil of Truss foreshadows more instability to come in America. Former Republican Governor of Florida Jeb Bush joins to discuss the drop in student test scores after the pandemic, Florida’s ‘Stop Woke’ Act, and also tells Jake why he thinks the GOP will be yearning for new leadership in 2024.

Phil Rosenthal joins to discuss the new season of his hit Netflix show ‘Somebody Feed Phil’. He tells Jake what it’s like to eat sea urchins and ants, and pays tribute to his late parents who inspired him to create ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’. Plus, NASA Mission Systems Engineer Mike Menzel gives his insight into how the new ‘pillars of creation’ pictures captured by the James Webb Space Telescope offer clues on how stars are formed.

Hosted by Jake Tapper.
