Shownotes Transcript

A New York court has ruled that Donald Trump must pay a $355 million fine over allegations that he committed real estate fraud. As Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary pointed out during a CNN spot, however, the laws that Trump allegedly broke are routinely flouted by every developer in New York City, which is why the state’s governor, Kathy Hochul, felt compelled to reassure business interests that only Trump would be targeted with this extraordinary type of prosecution. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how New York is exhibiting all the corrupt traits of a third world country. Plus segments on Stephen Colbert’s meltdown over the multiple criminal and civil cases Donald Trump is facing, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters slapping down of U2 frontman Bono over the latter’s pushing of pro-war propaganda couched in peace-loving language and Trump’s recent comments suggesting as President he would renew efforts to steal Venezuela’s oil. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus calls from Jake Tapper and Joe Biden!
