00:07I've been noticing this thing that I want to talk through with you have you
00:11noticed that female comedians are doing a much better job of covering the news
00:17than the news there's this dumpster fire it's not what the tweet said the tweet
00:21said the electoral process
00:22Well that's the electoral process
00:23No it's not
00:23Voting is not an electoral process
00:25No it's not
00:26Jeffrey do you think if you don't think
00:34I get it they need to take Trump seriously in order to be taken seriously themselves but
00:43comedians don't have to even entertain Trump's BS because comedy has a much lower tolerance
00:51for BS did you know that Trump is on track to be the most joked about president in US
00:57history he was the target of over a thousand jokes during his first 100 days in office
01:03that's more than any recent president had during their entire first year but I couldn't exactly
01:09figure out what it was about female comedians that was so engaging right now so I reached
01:14out to the co-creator of the daily show Liz Winstead to find out
01:24women comedians and also just comedians who are not traditional what you think of as a late night talk show
01:32host they're the ones who have things at stake so they're writing better jokes with more depth because it's not
01:41just like well Trump's an idiot again let's say you talk about his tweets and how stupid he is or
01:46that he's orange you watch black and
01:48brown comics you watch women you watch differently abled people talk about it and it's like their jokes have a
01:55lot of layers and depth because it's real life
02:10it brings the essence of why you should care about it to the foreground it picks the targets
02:18that you have control over amplifying their bullshit but I think getting people emotionally invested through humor is humor's most
02:30valuable tool
02:31lately I've developed a very rational fear of men based on how you portray yourselves in person
02:39do you think that the proliferation of satire and satirical news shows will lead to misinformation
02:46the question should be why are we not holding our media accountable to give us the news in a way
02:53that satire doesn't have to be where we get our news
02:56like she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye
03:02what it says is the comedians are the ones giving us the most accurate news
03:07and we should all be aghast at that the humorist as the neutral player can be super powerful if you're
03:17willing
03:17to make sure whenever hypocrisy happens you're calling it out so when your person whose values align with yours
03:27screw up you can't conveniently leave off that you know you have to call people out on how you see
03:34it
03:34I have a track record of using humor to talk about issues and getting people to sit up and take
03:38notice
03:39I look at the hypocrisy of why they're doing it
03:41I find the flaws and then I poke holes in the arguments with humor
03:46female comedians aren't just helping us make sense of the news
03:49they're also really funny
03:51everyone was smiling everyone was happy
03:55the men all had erections
03:59and every single one of the women was ovulating left and right
04:04but what makes this administration different is that they can't take a joke
04:08this is the first time in our country's history that an administration has so publicly attacked comedians
04:15clearly female comedians are a threat
04:18which isn't shocking when you consider that 86% of anti-Trump calls to Congress are made by women
04:25without these women holding our government accountable
04:28I wouldn't know what to believe and I'd probably tune out
04:32wait women make 86% of calls to Congress?
04:35yeah isn't that crazy?
04:36yes it is but that's time Elisa
04:38and young angry white dudes might totally have social media on lockdown
04:42but it's women ages 46 and over who are doing like the actual work
04:45yeah yeah I get it
04:47do you though?
