Summary

Trump bombs a Pearl Harbor joke at a meeting with Japan's prime minister after a reporter asked him about the Iran war, and Jordan Klepper finds the optimism in Afroman winning a defamation suit against the police who raided his home, preserving free speech through relentless mockery, brutal infidelity jokes, and lemon pound cakes. Michael Kosta delivers the latest get-rich-now opportunities from the hottest business headlines: The Fast Food Wars get a greasy relaunch, Topo Chico mineral water dries up in the U.S., and rare Pokemon cards have collectors collecting fat stacks. Rebecca Traister, bestselling author and writer at large for New York Magazine, talks to Jordan about her latest book, “Angry Girls Will Get Us Through.” They discuss the constructive power of anger to bring people together and affect social change, and the mission of her book to tell the under-recognized stories of angry women, girls, and nonbinary people who sparked some of the most impactful moments of change throughout American history.
