Democrats express their outrage over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, with Chuck Schumer calling Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller "fucking liars" and Hakeem Jeffries on accidental mute. Plus, Desi Lydic plunges into the world of Melania ahead of her documentary debut, which was produced by Jeff Bezos, directed by disgraced filmmaker Brett Ratner, and created by a crew too ashamed to have their names in the credits. Grace Kuhlenschmidt meets Wisconsin native and snakebite enthusiast Tim Friede, who has built up an immunity to 19 of the most venomous snake species, and learns that doing your own medical research can save lives... when done with the help of a team of medical science experts. Emmy Award-winning actress Katherine LaNasa talks with Desi Lydic about her starring role as Nurse Dana in "The Pitt". They talk about landing a job on her last day of radiation, her experience with ER nurses during treatment, and the insight "The Pitt" gives to broken hospital systems.
