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. >> Christine Nome and Steven Miller are liars.
Any administration that allows them to continue in office is rotten to its core. >> Oh, [cheering] wow. Samuel L.
Schumer over here. You kiss your lobbyist 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.
>> Christy Nome and Steven Miller ARE [laughter] >> 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 fullthroated support of Christy Gnome? [laughter] We don't have sound. I think we're muted here.
>> Yes. Good 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 Lewis Black. [laughter] >> 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 going to 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. [cheering] >> 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 I was going to, but then I didn't.
Now, when you first heard that there was going to be a documentary about Melania, you probably thought, "Oh, or huh, or why, or can I undo my lasic? " 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. Huh? Why?
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? H, 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 they're [laughter] 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? >> When he's doing the YMCA, how do you feel?
>> Fostering the future AI. I mean, what haven't you done? Tell us about the future.
>> I've always been curious. What is your favorite time of day? >> I was told there'd be no gotcha questions.
[laughter] What is your favorite time of day? That sounds like the conversation you have with a co-orker spouse when they show up to the holiday party before your coworker does. So, um, do you always eat orves or I got to go to the bathroom?
I will say I don't want to put all the blame on the interviewers because Melania is not really giving them a lot to work with. >> I I got the special score for that movie, my original score that it's called Melania's Vaults. >> Wow.
And where does that original score come from? >> It's specially made for the movie. >> How wonderful.
>> [laughter] >> Wow. The original score for this movie was made for this movie, you say? And did they hit record when they were filming?
Oh, how wonderful. Well, here's $40 million. So, all right.
This isn't one of those interesting Timothy Shalamé press tours, but that's not important. What's important is what this movie is about. Just uh what is it about?
>> This story was never told before. So the audience will see me, how I manage my business, uh my philanthropy, family, uh preparation for the inauguration and also establishing the east wing uh for the White House. Oh, no one's told her.
[cheering] Oh god. Oh, I love the East Wing, especially how it will always be there. [laughter] Is this whole movie just her talking about things that she loves that are no longer here?
Oh, uh, my passions. Uh, decorating the East Wing. Uh, chatting with Dilbert creator Scott Adams.
Uh, let's see what else. But whether this movie was a legitimate piece of art or a cash grab, it was a cash grab. So, I'm sure everyone involved with this project is very proud of the work that they've done.
>> Rolling Stone is reporting twothirds of the film's New York crew asked not to be credited. [applause] [cheering] >> You didn't want to be in the credits, but how will they know who to give the trophy to at the FIFA Academy Awards? And you know that this is bad because people in Hollywood love taking credit.
It is their favorite thing to do. By the way, I was the first person to make that point. Of course, the big question is, is the Melania documentary worth seeing?
To find out, let's go to our critics's corner with Ronnie Chang and Michael Costa. [cheering] [applause] >> Michael, let's start with you. What did you think, >> Desi?
Melania was a terrible movie. It was nothing but pure bribery. I was disgusted by this naked attempt by Jeff Bezos to curry favor with the president.
I give it thumbs down. [laughter] Okay, I'm I'm sorry. I don't know what movie you were watching, Michael, because I personally found the bribery artful and cinematic.
I mean, that was a real tour the force of corruption structurally, tonally, movie worked in every way. I knew exactly what was going going on in every single scene. Crime.
I give it two thumbs up. >> Look, look, look. I'm not a prude.
I'm not against a little bribery in a movie, but this was obscene. If I want to see bribery that hardcore, I'll watch it on my phone in the bathroom after my wife goes to sleep. >> No, no, I'm sorry.
I I love the bribery in this. Okay. It wasn't gratuitous.
It was saying something relevant. All right. Every movie could use more bribery.
I'm looking at you, Hamnut. Well, I'm Shakespeare. My baby died.
Okay, I'm I'm sorry. How does that enrich the president of the United States in 2026? >> Okay, guys.
Guys, let me let me just ask, is the bribery in this movie appropriate for families? I I'm kind of worried that my 5-year-old might not be mature enough to see strong bribery themes or situations. >> Oh, it'll be fine.
The bribery will go right over her head. I I don't I don't know, Ronnie. This bribery is so overt.
You'd have to be pretty stupid to miss it. >> Yeah. Yeah, I guess I guess that's true.
Uh Desi, how stupid is your 5-year-old? >> Um average stupid. >> Yeah, it should be fine.
It should be okay. It should be okay. >> Well, guys, I know it's early, but are you hearing any awards buzz for this thing?
>> No way. Absolutely not. The only way this movie will ever win an Oscar is if the Academy Awards are desperate to stay in the president's good side.
So yes, it will win an Oscar. >> Okay, I predict this thing is sweeping everything. Okay, the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, MTV Movie Awards.
The special effects alone are amazing. Okay, it almost looked like Melania had a 10-ft son. >> Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie, that was her real son, Baron.
>> What? Oh my god, this movie is blowing my mind. >> Ronnie, I just I have to ask you something.
You seem to love this movie and you hate everything. Why are you supporting it so much? >> What do you mean?
I I I love this movie because I love the story and the character arcs and also Jeff Bezos paid me $40 million to say what I just [applause and cheering] said. I know, right? That that is disgusting.
Cinema is an art that should not be compromised, which is why I strongly recommend Melania. It's truly a masterpiece. Okay, Ronnie Chang and Michael Costa.
