The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

Israel, Iran and Trump’s Incompetence (2025x21)

Air date: Jun 19, 2025

Amid growing fears about where the Israel-Iran conflict leads, Jon is joined by Ben Rhodes, co-host of "Pod Save the World" and former Deputy National Security Advisor, and Christiane Amanpour, CNN's Chief International Anchor and host of "Christiane and The Ex Files with Jamie Rubin." Together, they trace the complex history that brought us to this moment, examine Trump's response to the escalation, and explore why achieving peace remains far more challenging than waging war. Plus, Jon weighs in on the Trump administration incompetence that got us here.
