Former Obama speechwriter, self-described comedian and Pod Save America co-host Jon Lovett takes the stage for a new season of the hit show that dared guests from Danny DeVito to Amy Klobuchar to ask “What is this?” and “Where am I?”

Each week, Jon breaks down the biggest and dumbest stories in politics to help you keep up with and laugh at the news, with big guests and surprising conversations you won’t find anywhere else.

New episodes every Saturday morning on your podcast feed and on YouTube. And if you’re in LA, come to a taping. You’ll be amazed by what we cut from the live show.

    The president makes waves with his Reflecting Pool reno, the U.S. treads water on the Iran peace process, and Trump’s crypto golden calf is more than a little fishy. This week, rock legend Melissa Etheridge lets the lesbian good times roll. Speaking of roll, Bosco brings the magic while we rank the sexy monsters of Magic: The Gathering. And to close us out, Lovett serves up a piping hot round of Second Thoughts.

    Trump gives us a billion reasons to hate his ballroom, Kash Patel is drowning in leaks, and RFK Jr. will have to pry our pills from our cold, tan hands. Then Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney tackle life's big questions and predict the next great Saturday Night Live host. And Lovett is on one when we take a look at our Second Thoughts.
