About this episode

Desi Lydic watches Trump's "intellectual" speech on economic policy, which inevitably goes off the rails into a rant about Joe Biden's ice cream choices, Kamala Harris's laugh, and the problem with Tic Tacs. How did J.D. Vance leave behind his in Silicon Valley career to become Trump's running mate? The Daily Show presents, The DailyShowography of JD Vance: The Forgettin' Man. Plus, Rebecca Traister, New York Magazine writer-at-large and author of “Good and Mad,” and Brittney Cooper, Rutgers University professor and author of “Eloquent Rage,” join Desi to discuss channeling anger as well as faith surrounding the election to motivate action.
