Stop the Steal: It’s the rallying cry of Trump supporters and election deniers who believe the 2020 election was stolen from them. In the final episode of Jordan Klepper Fingers the Conspiracy, Jordan dives into a theory about Italian satellites that led to a Biden win and the crack team that is working to set the record straight: an unidentified lawyer, a real estate agent, and Donald Trump’s second wife, Marla Maples. Jordan breaks down the details with investigative journalist Eric Levai, Pennsylvania Attorney General and Governor-Elect Josh Shapiro, and Supreme Court expert Dahlia Lithwick, who explains the Supreme Court cases that are currently being heard about voting rights, and what’s at stake.  Originally aired 2022.

Replay | Donald Trump Runs the Military & The Role of Militias | Jordan Klepper Fingers the Conspiracy
Originally aired in 2022, when Donald Trump wasn't president, again, yet... But, if Donald Trump (who wasn't currently president) is still allegedly the president, does that also mean he’s in charge of the military? According to MAGA rally goers, yes. Jordan Klepper dives deeper into conspiracy theories surrounding the military with Paul Szoldra, the editor of The Ruck, a weekly newsletter focused on defense and national security. They discuss theories like Jade Helm, how servicemembers react to conspiracy theories, and how high-ranking officials like General Michael Flynn abuse their credibility to spread them. They are joined by Dr. Amy Cooter of Middlebury College who breaks down her research on militia groups like the Oath Keepers, the overlap between members and veterans, and how militias approach “defending” their country.    More of Dr. Amy Cooter’s work: https://www.middlebury.edu/institute/academics/centers-initiatives/ctec    More from Paul Szoldra: https://www.theruck.news/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Replay | The Early Internet & 9/11 Conspiracies | Jordan Klepper Fingers the Conspiracy
Jordan Klepper has heard a lot of 9/11 conspiracy theories, including this shiny emerald: Osama bin Laden was a CIA operative named Tim Ossman. Together with Dr. Joan Donovan, research director of Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, Jordan unpacks how the early days of the internet and social media have shaped 9/11 conspiracy theories that are still appearing two decades later. They are joined by veteran and filmmaker Korey Rowe, who co-produced “Loose Change,” one of the first viral conspiracy theory films on 9/11. They discuss the legacy of the film, how the right has weaponized conspiracy theories for political gain, and what conversations we should be having about the role of the media.

Horny, Anti-Woke GOP Defends Sydney Sweeney Amid Denim Ad Backlash | Tony Hale
Desi Lydic takes on the only story big enough to eclipse the Epstein files: Sydney Sweeney’s controversial denim ad. Public pushback over the ad's supposed white supremacy undertones has the GOP spinning out of control, while Megyn Kelly rebuilds the glass ceiling with accusations that America is jealous of Sweeney’s “hottness.” Trump's association with Jeffrey Epstein has been all over the news lately, but Jordan Klepper knows from years of talking to MAGA that if Trump does come out in the files, we can expect a very rational response. Emmy Award-winning actor and producer Tony Hale talks to Desi Lydic about his new film, “Sketch,” sharing how the film’s story about a child’s drawings coming to life was inspired by writer-director Seth Worly’s sister, and how the movie can open up conversations for adults and kids alike about the importance of expressing emotions. He also reflects on the iconic “oddball” characters he played on “Veep” and “Arrested Development” and the joke that took him 15 years to get. Learn more about your ad choices.
