OUT OF THE FRYING PAN, INTO THE BOOK TOUR |
Rachel Maddow on the Midterms & Examining the DOJ in “Department of Fate” | The Daily Show
“The core function of the Justice Department is to make sure that the Constitution is in effect in this country. And if you want the Constitution to not be in effect in this country, you do not need that building full of lawyers telling you otherwise.” Award-winning MS NOW host Rachel Maddow joins Jon Stewart to discuss her new book about the DOJ called “Department of Fate: The Promise, the Power, and the Collapse of America’s Most Consequential Institution.” Maddow opens up about MS NOW’s 2026 election night coverage, her perspective on more people gaining access to healthcare as a result of state Democratic majorities, and why Trump’s dismantling of the Department of Justice in his second term surprised her. Plus, the Monday Nighters chat about rising healthcare costs, corruption, and Maddow’s pragmatic suggestions for government reform.
