A new Pediatrics study says gun deaths among children are at an all-time high. In Season 2, Jon Stewart spoke with Okla. State Sen. Nathan Dahm on why he supports banning drag show readings to protect children but opposes regulating guns.

It’s been 2 years since the U.S. pulled out of Afghanistan. Tens of thousands of Afghans who served with us there are still trying desperately to escape Taliban persecution and find the safety we promised them. It's time to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act.

“Trump is not fighting for you. You are his human shields, and you always have been.” – @jonstewart, from our season finale in April, on the way Trump’s supporters try to turn him into a freedom-fighting folk hero.
TRUMP: “The people of our country get it. As far as I’m concerned, I consider it a badge of honor. To be indicted, I would consider a badge because I am doing it for the country and I am doing it for the people.” hannity.com/media-room/badge…

“It’s a rigged game.” - @JonStewart spoke to @StrictScrutiny_ on the podcast last June about what the Supreme Court has done to protect minority rule. It’s happening at the state level too – like in Ohio where people are voting in a special election today.
Ohio voters will decide Tuesday whether or not to make it harder to amend the state constitution in a special election that has tremendous implications for the fate of abortion rights in the state.
For more than a century, Ohio voters have been able to amend the state constitution with a simple majority. The measure up for a vote would change that threshold to 60 percent. wapo.st/45lbiUq
ALT Headline reads: Ohio voters head to the polls to decide Issue 1. Subhead text reads: Ahead of a November vote on abortion rights, Republican lawmakers want voters to make it more difficult to amend the state constitution

“Their strategy is delay, deny, don’t give access.” - @JonStewart spoke to former US Attorney Geoffrey Berman on the podcast last fall about why powerful people like Trump are given so much leeway in our justice system.
CBS News Legal Analyst Rikki Klieman says Trump's defense strategy will be to delay. "Defense always looks at delay, delay, delay, and Donald Trump is the champion of delay," she said. cbsn.ws/3N03dNA

We covered the story of Documented Dreamers — people who came to the U.S. as kids with their parents but aren’t legally allowed to stay once they turn 21 — on the podcast back in December. Their fight to fix our archaic immigration system continues.
I had the chance to ask @SecMayorkas about what DHS is doing to support the 250,000+ Documented Dreamers living in the U.S. today.
I'm glad he shares my concern that we must find solutions to protect these talented, patriotic young people.

North Carolina is often called “the best state for business”. One reason? The GOP-led NC Senate is doubling down on tax cuts for corporations and the rich. Last season, Jon Stewart sat down with Gov. Roy Cooper (D-NC), to discuss why that choice is the worst for workers.
The benefits of the NC Senate's tax plan "go overwhelmingly to the richest 20 percent of North Carolinians. Two-thirds of the total tax cut will go to the richest people in our state, while the bottom 80 percent will get just one-third."

Florida’s permitless carry laws go into effect this Saturday, July 1. Earlier this year, Florida Sheriff John W. Mina broke down their effects with Jon Stewart: “It’s not going to make our communities safer. It’s going to make them more dangerous.”
Starting Saturday, those carrying concealed weapons will no longer have to apply for a permit, will not have to undergo a background check, and will not have to take an instructional course. cbsloc.al/3r9FPpO @NLaurenTV

A two-tiered system of justice, you say? We agree!
These charges are unprecedented and it’s a sad day for our country, especially in light of what clearly appears to be a two-tiered justice system where some are selectively prosecuted, and others are not. Parents in Virginia know firsthand what it’s like to be targeted by politically motivated actions. Regardless of your party, this undermines faith in our judicial system at exactly the time when we should be working to restore that trust.
