In the United States, President Donald Trump reportedly told congressional leaders that he was withdrawing nearly $1 billion in federal funding. This is stated in a The Guardian article dedicated to monologues by American television hosts.

Seth Meyers' reaction

NBC host Seth Meyers responded to the report with a joke about the reflecting pool and the possible installation of a water slide there. In his monologue, he also mocked Trump's unsuccessful wording regarding a decline in the murder rate in the United States.

Meyers mentioned the president's comment on U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue's words about selling weapons to China. Trump suggested that the diplomat might have meant Taiwan. In addition, the host spoke about a local state of emergency in Florida due to a dengue outbreak and about a television advertisement funded by taxpayers. The White House called it a public service advertisement intended to remind Americans to love their country.

White House lunch and artificial intelligence

Jimmy Kimmel spoke about Trump's lunch with technology company executives at the White House. Those invited included Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman, and Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson.

According to Kimmel, during a press conference Trump said he wanted to call artificial intelligence superintelligence. The host also mentioned the new AI-supported government website America.gov, which a White House representative called the new front door of the federal government.

Kimmel also said that Trump fell asleep during a live broadcast shortly after once again calling former President Joe Biden sleepy.
