We're excited to tell you about a new project from Amazon MGM called Melania. For years, the people in charge have tried to tell you who she is, but they didn't show you who she is. Now you can see for yourself. Every protocol, every precaution, every single move, meticulously coordinated. This new film takes you inside the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration. And it does it through the eyes of the First Lady, Melania Trump. The briefings, the plannings, the private conversations. Witness what it takes to get there, to become First Lady of the United States. Mark your calendars. Melania premieres in theaters January 30th. Good evening. The single biggest... political issue divide in the United States right now is ICE.
Minneapolis is a disaster tonight. There is widespread violence, mob violence. There is political turmoil, chaos. Really, we're going to be going live there in a moment. Nick Shorter, who's been covering all this and shot some amazing video. We'll speak to one of the pastors of the church that was invaded by lunatics, by anti-ICE activists. It really is the mobilizing force on the left, and it's the focus of much of the right. And it's about a lot of different things. On the surface, it's about, of course, who has authority over the borders. Does federal authority mean anything? It's about law enforcement. To what extent can you pursue criminals in your own country? It's, of course, about immigration. ICE standing for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, of course.
But big picture, it's about something much bigger, and that's why it's become such a passionate divide. The battle over ICE is really a battle over demographic change in the United States. Who gets to live here, which is always and everywhere the fundamental question in any country. Who lives there? Who are these people? What are they like? And in our country, that question has basically not been addressed out loud for the past 60 years, even as the population of the United States has changed dramatically. And that's one of the reasons. the battle over ICE and its jurisdiction and what to do with all the people living in the United States illegally has become so passionate and so fraught because no one is saying out loud what exactly this is about.
And so as a first step to making things better, It would help to see things clearly. So let's talk about what exactly is going on in the United States and why it's led to the battles in, say, Minneapolis.
What are the violent protests against ICE really about?
What's happening in the United States is a wholesale change of who lives here. Total demographic change. Now, some have called this replacement. And the question is, is it really replacement? So we thought we would look it up. If you were someone following along at home trying to figure out, you know, what is everyone so mad about? What is this great replacement theory? You might go, as almost everybody does, first to Google and just type in great replacement theory, and AI would come up with the following result. This is hot off Google AI. Here's what it says if you look up great replacement theory on Google. We're quoting. The Great Replacement Theory is a debunked, meaning untrue, far right, meaning Nazi, white nationalist, meaning racist, conspiracy claiming that white populations, particularly in Europe and the U.S., are being deliberately replaced by non-white immigrants and minorities, often orchestrated by replacist elites, leading to demographic shifts and cultural erosion, fueling extremist violence and anti-immigrant sentiment.
That's one sentence, by the way, a run-on sentence, but it is AI. And it's quite a sentence. And it tells you point blank, this is not true. Anyone who believes in it is deranged and is... Stoking violence simply by believing in it. And it goes on to explain how this works. The theory, quote, posits that mass migration, declining white birth rates and political agendas by elites are intentionally replacing white populations. It has inspired numerous acts of mass murder, violence, with perpetrators often citing this theory.
