Jordan Klepper dives into the headlines with Republicans unleashing a last-ditch tactic in this final midterm sprint: spooky stories. From socialist dystopias to jihadist leprechauns to forced gender reassignment surgeries happening at your kids’ school, nothing is off the table for these GOP tales, just in time for Halloween. But hey, that’s what happens when you can't convince voters with your actual ideas or accomplishments.
As calls to tax the rich reach a fever pitch in the U.S., billionaires have become America's newest oppressed minority. Michael Kosta traveled to California to hear both sides of the wealth tax debate, with March for Billionaires organizer Derik Kauffman fighting on behalf of the nation's beleaguered top earners, and wealthy investor Tom Steyer calling his fellow billionaires "insanely selfish and delusional" for opposing it.
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and actor Tracy Letts joins Jordan to talk about his new film, “I Play Rocky,” which chronicles the making of the 1976 film, “Rocky.” Letts shares why he doesn’t buy the legend that Sylvester Stallone wrote the entire “Rocky” screenplay in three days and what it’s like to film in the same Philadelphia neighborhoods where the original was shot. Plus, Letts explains the wonders of his physical movie collection of over 12,000 titles and what he learned performing improv in Chicago.
