When plunder becomes a way of life (Putin is definitely getting his money's worth)

Today was the start of the Senate confirmation hearing for President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh is Trump's second Supreme Court nominee in two years. Two in two years. You've got to admit, Vladimir Putin is definitely getting his money's worth, isn't he? --James Corden

There's a new book coming out soon by legendary journalist Bob Woodward, called "Fear: Trump in the White House." It's an in-depth look at the current state of the Trump presidency. In the book, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is not very complimentary about Trump and describes him as having the understanding of a fifth- or sixth-grader. Apparently, Trump could not grasp the concept of how the wheels on the bus could possibly go 'round and 'round all day long. --James Corden

Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback who started the NFL kneeling protests, has been named the face of Nike's "Just Do It" campaign. I've already seen it. Here's the thing — some people are so angry about this they're actually burning their Nike shoes. Yeah. Burning your own shoes as a response to something. If only there was a word for that kind of action — oh yeah, "Protesting." --James Corden

I don't agree with that sentiment at all, but burning your sneakers does seem like a solid way to get out of going to the gym. --James Corden
