Paris Protests Erupt Over High Fuel Costs & Trump Cuts Diesel Deal with Russia | David Corn

Paris is burning, Trump is back to kissing Putin’s ass, and there’s a new war to blame for bank-breaking gas prices. Jon Stewart examines the headlines, including the protests that literally set Paris on fire while President Macron enjoyed a Celine Dion concert. Plus, American allegiances in the Russia-Ukraine war are called into question as Trump signs a diesel deal worth billions with Putin, and Jon gets some key players on the phone to work out why Ukraine is having trouble accessing Elon Musk’s Starlink cell service.

Best-selling author and Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones, David Corn, sits down with Jon to discuss his latest book, "How Russia Won: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." They talk about Trump’s fixation on teaming up with Vladimir Putin, how Trump’s “man crush” on Putin drove him to sign a diesel fuel deal with Russia in spite of the war in Ukraine, Putin embodying Trump’s dream of wealth with full authority, and how Trump employs the theory of “big f**ks small.”
