Summary

As war continues, Jon Stewart weighs in on Trump's dubious claims of negotiating with a "top person" in Iran and the president's decision to deploy ICE to American airports.

Plus, Melania makes a robot friend, Trump scrutinizes Markwayne Mullin's Native American background as he's sworn in as DHS secretary, and revelations surface that RFK Jr. cut the penis off a road-killed raccoon.
