    Stephen delivers the gags perfectly. But boy: his writers are brilliant as well.

    That lovely lady from Hawaii is a hero! Thank you.
  • @lisaskaggs3457
    Sen. Mazie Hirono from Hawaii just read my mind and said it out loud to the whole world!!! 😂😂😭😂😂😭😂😂 GIVE IT UP FOR HIRONO!!!
  • @pg9193
    when the judge finally throws the book at Barr, I hope they use that Thesaurus
  • @jayweh
    I love how senator harris always seems to have a miniscule smirk during 'interrogations'. she knows the truth and recognizes bs answers. it's so enjoyable to watch.
  • @831mrscardoso
    Those two women did an AWESOME job making Barr look soo little. I loved seeing Cory Booker and the other lady behind Kamala just amazed how badly he was doing to try to not answer her question. The slowly turning of the woman's head as he kept going and Cory Booker trying to keep the laughter inside.
  • @Jackkenway
    My God! Sen. Hirono wasn't having any! What a burn! She spoke the truth, plaine and simple! God I'm still feeling the heat!!!
  • @lorigilbert6811
    Maize Hirono's comment about ole Trumpy boy was fan freaking tastic! 👏👏👏👍👍👍 I love it! The rest of our Representatives & Senators need to follow her lead!

  • @JP51ism
    "Madam, how dare you imply that Kellyanne Conway ever had a decent reputation!" LOL @9:09. Also, @10:40, his look & "Sir, I have a thesaurus & I'm not afraid to use it!"
  • @Lucius1958
    Barr: "It's my baby." Mueller Report: "NOT THE MAMA!" (smacks him on head with frying pan)
  • @claudia-ault
    08:42 probably THE most savage and honest thing I've ever heard from a Senator😋 Give that woman a medal
  • @clintbarton7306
    "For the grifter and liar who sits in the Oval Office." The Hawaii Senator SNAPPED!!!
  • @Lennybird91
    At 7:26 when Barr goes up to adjust his tie: that's dead-giveaway body-language cue for nervousness/anxiety/fear/emotional-discomfort/vulnerability. It means Barr knew the consequences of getting caught in his lie.
  • @jessicalee3229
    Booker's face at 10:33 when Barr is responding to Harris's question. It says "ooooo he's walking straight into it, and she's gonna come after you!!"
