Late Night Roundup: The GOP Alternative On Iran

Late Night Roundup: The GOP Alternative On Iran

Larry Wilmore spoke to the state of Kansas, on their latest effort to restrict how poor people can spend public assistance money — while the state of Kansas itself is in a deep budget deficit.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) sat down with Conan O’Brien to talk about her personal background, and her efforts to improve the fairness of the economy by starting with two of her big issues: Raising the minimum wage, and ending federal profits on student loans (and paying for the latter with taxes on the very wealthy instead).
