Jon Stewart covers the passage of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill: Republicans bashing then endorsing the megabill, trading tax cuts to sway senators, giving a $40 billion infusion to ICE, boosting billionaires at the expense of Medicaid and SNAP, and more.

Former CBS “60 Minutes” correspondent and Emmy and Peabody Award-winning journalist Steve Kroft joins Jon to discuss a $16 million settlement in President Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount Global, CBS and Comedy Central’s parent company. They discuss how an incoming corporate merger and pressure from Trump’s FCC may have influenced the settlement, why journalists and legal experts consider it a “shakedown,” its impact on freedom of the press, and the one thing Trump didn’t get: an apology.
