After a Scott-free August, Prof. Galloway himself is back!
On his triumphant return to the show, Scott talks with Jessica about the misguided MAHA movement, and how the Trump administration is decimating America’s public health institutions. They also look ahead to Congress’s fall agenda, as both parties will try and negotiate around the possibility of a government shutdown — again.
Plus: why was Beijing the real winner of last month’s Trump-Putin summit? Scott and Jessica explain, with help from the new Prof G podcast China Watch, and discuss how the U.S. forced India right into Russia and China’s arms.

Jessica is joined by lawyer, journalist, and Substacker Aaron Parnas to talk through some alarmingly authoritarian news stories. Does Trump really intend to call in the military to police American cities? Does the administration ever intend to present evidence for deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia, or are they just being stubborn? And what is going on with Trump’s hands? Plus — as a Gen. Z luminary, Aaron reveals the key to reaching younger voters.

2Do we still need to process what went on during the pandemic? Jessica sits down with FOX News's Greg Gutfeld, her co-host on The Five, to unpack the dense new film Eddington, written and directed by Ari Aster, which depicts a small town in the spring of 2020 being torn apart by mask mandates, social justice protests, and paranoia. They talk about how this film illustrates the social dangers and political obsessions that are still very present today, five years later. Plus — they also discuss Greg’s recent appearance on The Tonight Show, which has drawn backlash from liberals and conservatives alike.

Gutfeld isn't an asshole... He's just completely unfunny, which for a comedian, is a handicap.
Editing needs some work...
I try to be as objective as possible with people but good lord that lady is such a liar. No wonder Trump loves her. I admire Jessica’s composure in the face of so many lies and distortions
Lol, disappointing but not surprising that KA continues to lie, exaggerate and "what about my". Unfortunately for her, this is Jessica's playground.
Jessica's ability to maintain not only composure, but friendliness during interviews like this is impressive.
I see KAC is still sucking the orange mushroom. Waste of data. Listened for 5 minutes. Would get more honesty from Tass.
my god. Conway can't stop lying
