Over the course of the nearly hour-long discussion, Jones and the commentator bashed Donald Trump - expressing concern and confusion about the political climate fostered under his administration.
'I don’t know. It just feels like the upside-down world,' Jones, 58, began on the episode titled, 'Leslie Jones GOES OFF on Trump's "PIGGY" attack.'
'You see somebody that’s doing something completely terrible, like some of these influencers, these crazy folks, and we let them go because freedom of speech, of course, but there should be accountability.'
'Gravity,' Wallace chimed in while nodding. 'Things should fall.'
'You can't continue to keep doing some wrong and you're not going to pay for that,' Jones replied.
Wallace then asked the Ghostbusters actress how she believes this 'era' ends. Leslie replied that she hopes people vote in the midterms to make Democrats take control of Congress.

Both the House of Representatives and the Senate are Republican-controlled. Out of 100 Senators, 53 are Republican, and 220 of 435 Representatives belong to the party as well.
The last time Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate was during the 117th Congress, which ran from January 2021 to January 2023.
'I’m hoping, this is what I’m hoping, that midterms, people come out and vote like crazy to switch it over, and then the reckoning comes,' Jones said.
On the topic of 'reckoning,' the SNL cast member of five seasons shifted her focus to ICE agents.
'That’s why I want, all, everybody that work for ICE, I want them in jail. I just want a reckoning. I want a reckoning,' she said.
'Y’all know y’all did wrong stuff. You know some of the stuff you did was so wrong. I need a reckoning. Because that’s, to me, that’s the only thing that’s going to make it right.'
Jones has been outspoken about her left-leaning and anti-Trump stances, revealing that she thought about killing members of his family during a 2015 backstage gathering ahead of the then-candidate's appearance on SNL.
In a pre-show meal, Trump was joined by his wife, Melania, daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, Jones told The Daily Beast‘s Last Laugh podcast in October.
'I remember turning to [co-star] Taran [Killam] and - I was just making a joke - it was Trump, then Melania, then [producer] Lindsay Shookus, then Ivanka, and Jared was sitting beside me,' she said.

Should ICE agents face criminal charges for enforcing controversial immigration policies?
Jones said there needs to be a 'reckoning' because they know they 'did stuff wrong' (pictured: ICE agents in New Orleans, Louisiana, earlier this month)

'So I looked at Taran and I said, "If I kill this whole side of the table, maybe I'll save the world."'
She later noted: 'But I always think back, like, was I supposed to do it? I would’ve saved the world! I would be in jail, but I would've saved the world.'
While hosting The Daily Show in late May, Jones targeted the Trump administration and the then-DOGE head, Elon Musk, in a heated verbal attack.
'I've got a problem with these Trump folks,' she said. 'My problem is these people are goofy-a** motherf**kers. I cannot believe America is going to be ended by these f**king loser incels.'
