do you think melania likes her life
really do you think she likes her life do you think this is what she wanted out of her life
when she was twenty years old
just moving to new york is this what she expected
basically being
i'm not going to say it
you know what i'm thinking though
basically
being that
for someone she can't even stand to be around
she doesn't even sleep in the same
home as her husband and when they are under the same roof they don't sleep in the same bedroom do you think that's what she expected out of her life
do you think she's going to sleep in the same room as her husband
Do you think she enjoys her life?
Does she have friends?
Like, what does she spend her days with?
There's so much we don't know about her.
All right, now, here is some reporting on the ground at the racetrack.
I am here at Gate 6 in Washington, D.C., where Donald Trump's Freedom 250 race is about to start,
turning the nation's capital into his own personal racetrack.
This is where the Smithsonian is.
This block is all closed for the race cars.
I'm going to see if I can get us on the racetrack.
You can see around, there's nearly 1,800 concrete barriers, more than 220 manhole covers.
The covers of the sewer had to be welded down to the racetrack, to the streets.
That, in addition to the streets being repaved, which we also saw,
and Reagan National Airport will actually be scheduled to stop flights today for three hours during the race.
So that's tens of millions of dollars, massive inconvenience for about thousands of people.
Also, Indy cars.
Can fly down Pennsylvania Avenue at 200 miles per hour down this track.
Americans are getting crushed by the cost of groceries, housing, and health care.
This is what Donald Trump wants everyone focused on, a giant spectacle in the middle of Washington, D.C.
Maybe somebody should remind Trump that Americans need affordable lives a hell of a lot more than they need Donald Trump's racetrack.
Absolutely.
But I'm going to tell you this.
Republicans are not getting the message.
Because they're talking about how they want to do this again next year.
Mike Johnson, the speaker, was just here, and he said that you guys might try to do this again next year.
Do you have anything to announce?
Well, nothing to announce yet, but let's just say this is the perfect time of year to do it.
Congress is on recess from economic development for our capital city.
Hotels, restaurants, the people of Washington, D.C., the greater capital region, all love this idea.
This is a really positive thing.
And if you look at the smile.
On the faces of the crowd, I haven't met anybody who said, please, everybody I've met is saying, please, please do this again next year.
Well, this is.
I bet you no one has said that.
Now, the reason why probably is the case, because as you can see here, there are people in front.
That were waiting at least half an hour just to get water.
That's very Trump.
You know what I mean?
Like, he doesn't really care about people.
He's just doing this to stroke his own ego.
And it's really couldn't be more exemplified than the fact that they didn't even think about how they could get as much water to people as quickly as possible on a hot August day in D.C.
Also, just to put a fine point on it, this is the menu.
Chicken tenders.
Served with fries.
Seventeen dollars.
Nachos.
Twelve dollars.
Let's see here.
Corona.
Fourteen bucks.
OK.
So it's like.
To me, this is how, you know, this is all a money grab, because.
Truly, if this were a non like they would all be doing this at cost, it would be whatever it costs to make and the cost of having a truck there.
And then they would.
Make sure the truck doesn't lose money and that those people are paid for, but they would make it so that people can feed themselves for as cheaply as possible.
But instead, this is just all about it's literally just all about making cash off of our country's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
It's so upsetting to me.
And just just a point of fine point.
That's to.
The White House literally ripped off.
Graphics.
From.
The Grand Prix.
This is the White House on the left.
This is the Grand Prix on the right.
So then.
even have original thoughts and i'm gonna end with this because i think this puts into it just
puts into words how exactly how i feel about how disappointing this 250th anniversary celebration
has been we're never gonna get another one i what 300 years in 50 years how how old would i be oh
my god be 91 maybe i'll make it but probably not but maybe god that's dire but still it's being
realistic uh i hope to make it but i still i wouldn't probably have the energy to go enjoy it
and it's just upsetting that uh that this thing could have been non-partisan could have been
something we all enjoy he made it partisan he just did this to make money here's someone really
putting a fine point on it
i love america but the 250 it would have been so though imagine 250 with obama for real oh my god
even if you're a racist and you and you hate democrats and you voted for trump yeah you know
obama would have had the 250 nice dude i voted for even clint was a piece a complete piece of
shit as well he would have like i'll even i'm even willing to admit ronald reagan who is a
is in hell right now like for what he's done to american society he would have had a great 250
he's a show like he's a showman that doesn't
yeah
take it too far you know what i mean but but we're so fucked that i'm mad that this cost us
an awesome 250 i love america me too me too but at least donald trump isn't doing a good one even
for them so i suppose that's the silver lining for me tonight i'll see you soon bye
hey it's ryan reynolds here from mint mobile now i was looking for fun ways to tell you that
mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for 15 a month is back so i thought it would be fun
if we made 15 bills but it turns out that's very illegal uh so there goes my big idea for the
commercial give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch upfront payment of 45 for three months
90 for six months or 180 for 12 month plan required 15 per month equivalent taxes and
fees extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy see you
terms.
