00:03So we all know that First Lady Melania Trump wore stilettos as she boarded Air Force One

00:28After speaking about the missile that North Korea launched over Japan yesterday as an

00:32important story that deserves continuing coverage, the host expressed disappointment

00:37that Americans focused instead on Melania's shoes. People weren't talking about the nuclear
