Neal Brennan interviews Jordan Klepper (Daily Show, "Fingers the Pulse") on the Blocks Podcast about the true nature of MAGA, what he witnessed in Washington D.C. on January 6, how the American attitude toward shamelessness and hypocrisy has shifted since Trump's rise to power, using his improv background in field pieces, taking a Trump supporter to a Kamala rally, interviewing a guy who pleaded guilty to punching a cop on January 6 but still believed it was an inside job, what he learned from Jon Stewart & Trevor Noah, hosting his own show and how it affected his nervous system, becoming a parent, his drift from Hitchens-era smug atheist certainty back to agnosticism, Dominos vs. Papa Johns on the road, connecting flights, Camus and philosophy, and being smug.
