June 8, 2026 - Jane Fonda

Overview

Elmo goes viral for staying neutral on a Knicks-Spurs Finals, Trump storms out of his Meet the Press interview with Kristen Welker, and Jon Stewart questions why the media keeps letting Trump’s lashing out, rain-dodging, and question-avoiding slide. “I’m my dad’s daughter.” Jane Fonda joins Stewart to reflect on following her father’s path in acting and activism. Now part of the revived Committee for the First Amendment, she discusses their June 14 NYC event, Rise Up, Sing Out, and its 5,000-plus livestream parties nationwide. They also explore music’s role in resistance and what it takes to organize real change: becoming “living ambassadors to an irresistible future” where everyone is seen, respected, and cared for by their government.
