Apple puts the trans rights-focused season premiere of The Problem With Jon Stewart online for free

TL;DR

If you’ve seen one video clip online this weekend…Well, if you’ve seen one clip, it was probably those shots of Nathan Fielder looking like he wants to murder the Jumbotron guy at last night’s Mets game.But if you’ve seen two clips online this weekend, the second was likely this excerpt from an interview that Jon Stewart did with Arkansas attorney general Leslie Rutledge, for the second season of his Apple TV+ show The Problem With Jon Stewart.It is, honestly, the kind of thing we’ve been hoping to see from Problem ever since its first season debuted back in September 2021: Stewart at his best, calmly disassembling every false justification that Rutledge presents for her backing of laws that cut off trans Arkansas kids from access to gender-affirming healthcare.It’s a clear example of Stewart using his platform, and his privilege, to force Rutledge to face the statements that the trans people hurt by her policies have been making for years, in a way that brings some of that Apple-backed visibility to the issues, and the lies so frequently told about them.Not to mention, it’s also not affected by the dreaded Joy-Con drift."
