About this episode

Jon Stewart unpacks the opening night of the RNC, where Republicans called for unity while attacking the Democrats’ agenda, and J.D. Vance made his big reveal as VP candidate. Jon also weighs in on Biden's feisty NBC interview with Lester Holt, and the flood of internet conspiracies in the wake of the assassination attempt of Donald Trump. Plus, Bill O’Reilly sits down with Jon, despite their differing ideologies, to discuss his new book “Confronting the Presidents.”
