We've got so much to talk about tonight. Chuck Schumer puts a dollar in the congressional swear jar. Amazon offers two-day shipping for bribes. And we give the Melania documentary two thumbs straight into my eyeballs. Let's get into the headlines. We begin with the battle over Trump's immigration crackdown. As the situation gets more and more out of hand, the people behind it are starting to feel the heat, and one person cannot be contained.
Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller are liars. Any administration that allows them to continue in office is rotten to its core.
Wow, Samuel L. Schumer over here. You kiss your lobbyists with that mouth? Guess a video like that is one way to get our attention, but I think it might be even more effective if you just cut it off a little bit earlier.
Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller are
Okay, now I'm listening. Spill the tea, girl. So, yeah, Schumer came in pretty hot, but other Democrats are trying to bring down the volume just a little. What do you make of the president's full-throated support of Kristi Noem?
We don't have sound. I think we're muted here. Ask it afternoon, Chris. Nailed it. I couldn't have not said it better myself. So let's assume that at some point the Democrats can express themselves at a normal volume, somewhere between zero and Louis Black. What do they want?
They are demanding three specific changes and roving ICE patrols across the country, an updated uniform code of conduct and accountability for immigration enforcement, body cams on all agents, as well as proper identification and no masks.
Okay, good to see Democrats pushing for some reforms. Is this everything that needs to change about ICE? No. Is it a start? Yes. Am I gonna keep asking myself questions and then answering them? No, this is my last one. Can I ask one more? Fine. But let's move on to the big, exciting event that we have all been waiting for. Everyone's going, you know what I'm talking about, the new Melania movie. Oh, someone didn't get their tickets in time.
Don't be mad.
But if you haven't seen the trailer, get ready to be blown away. Here we go again. Hi, Mr. President. Congratulations. Did you watch it? I did not, yeah. I did not, yeah. I was going to, but then I didn't. Now when you first heard that there was gonna be a documentary about Melania, you probably thought, oh, or huh, or why, or can I undo my LASIK? But Amazon believed in this movie a lot, like suspiciously a lot.
Bezos and Amazon are paying $40 million for a documentary on Melania Trump.
The most expensive licensing fee ever paid for a documentary. Amazon paid nearly three times more than the next highest bidder.
The first lady will reportedly walk away with at least $28 million. Why would Jeff Bezos, a billionaire who has tons of business with a government run by a famously corrupt president known for loving bribes, overpay for a Melania documentary? Hmm. Let me think.
Well, that didn't help. But whatever else this is, they made a real movie. They even got director Brett Ratner, who you might know from Rush Hour or the Me Too movement. And there's... And they're spending a ton of money promoting it, which is why we're seeing Melania all over Fox News doing interviews. And they've been asking her fascinating questions. How does it feel being first lady for the second time around? It's quite extraordinary. What is your favorite part of the movie when we all go to watch it this weekend?
