Trump Calls Gas a "Very Inexpensive" Price to Pay for War, Threatens to Demolish Kennedy Center

Jimmy Fallon jokes about Donald Trump’s threats concerning the Kennedy Center, his comments about gas prices and the war with Iran, and Congress taking another break. A discussion of a Federal Reserve rate increase turns into a bit in which neither participant can explain interest rates. Fallon also covers an Olympic rowing venue described as crocodile-filled and research claims about working from home and wine knowledge, with comic segments involving a supposedly office-bound writer and a parody Trump wine video.
