5:17 pm
jury selection is underway at this federal courthouse in brooklyn but just the jury selection is expected to take at least a week for a trial that's going to be very complicated a trial that the judge said could last more than three months to pick a jury you can get a sense of the comp complexities of it all because finding jurors that know little to nothing about money is going to be quite difficult considering how many books in movies have been done about him over the years he's very famous and popular media also finding a cure that can stay on this trial for as much as three months is complicated because the jurors will be sequestered in a hotel here in new york throughout the course of the trial now prosecutors say that they plan to lay out a lot of evidence linking. guzman to his sinhala cartel and his illegal activities with in the united states particularly drug trafficking and money laundering prosecutors say in the end they hope that they will provide enough that

5:22 pm
for the ok in your industry and i'm willing to be allowed today can satire survive in a so called post truth era which out with a panel of noted comedians about the power of political satire and while you're leaving your comments and questions of the new king chat take a look at this rant by at tempted to call satirist home for. the leftists responsible for this result because the left has now decided to any other opinion any other way of looking at the world is unacceptable we don't debate anymore because the left won the cultural war so if you're on the right you're a freak you're evil you're a racist you're stupid you are a basket of deplorable how do you think people are going to vote if you talk to them like that when is anyone ever been persuaded by being insulted or or labeled so now if you're on the right or even against the prevailing view you are attacked for raising your opinion that's why people wait until they're in the voting booth no one's watching anymore there's no blame or shame or anything and you can finally say what you really think and that is a powerful thing the tories in charge bricks here and now from and all the polls
5:23 pm
were wrong all of them because when else people can't admit what they think. looks that was more conflict issues television news reporter jonathan pie in two thousand and sixteen commenting on the election of u.s. president donald trump was right it's inspired have racked up hundreds of thousands of views online making him a social media sensation while raising the ire of people across the political spectrum on both sides of the pond political satire has been traditionally used as a tool to punch against those in power a way to voice the concerns of marginalized groups who sometimes aren't given access to the public square. so one of the particular challenges of doing political satire right now when what's happening in the real world is sometimes more outlandish than any fictional news headline which would in the studio by telephone piii. tom walk in the sanjay's we have talent in california we have christina wall she's a comedienne
5:24 pm
a writer and performance artist running for public office and in san francisco francesca freeman t.v. is also a comedian and correspondent for everybody is really good to have. the bombs to come free and flowing at christina. you could describe what you'll doing right now with political satire can you do that right international audience because right now absolutely specific space and yet assistance my campaign headquarters in chinatown. presented by art salon chinatowns of was presented by the art world and i'm not actually on tomorrow's ballot i'm just campaigning i realized after years of making spectacle on theaters in guerrilla actions that i could no longer outdo the spectacle of real life politics and so i'm just going to bring my spectacle to where it's happening which is the political stage so at some point i will file and run for office but currently what i'm doing is giving
5:25 pm
a campaign speech is shaking babies kissing. trying to stage indorsements i mean yet door smits from white conservatives who normally probably would not endorse me and and just sort of stacking my deck and collecting bribes things like what your slogan. it's the name of my failed reality television pilot. makes it right i actually had pitched a reality t.v. show that tru t.v. picked up just so they paid for a pilot we could start when obama was president and we had to shoot it when trump was president and i sort of blamed that shift for why everything about the persona that i had pitched then about this sort of naive self-centered activist conquering political apathy didn't it made sense when obama was president and then by the time we shot it in march. presidency it made no sense and or just everything just flipped upside itself and they turned down the pilot are now buying it for
5:26 pm
a season and so i mad out of what i really had ironing and the ready to tell him where he was before running for office shaking hands i had to write that down so that is your platform and i want to introduce our audience in case they're not familiar with your platform tom walker with this piece you're not going to play it because it's for the b.b.c. but i want to show our audience my problem with mansplaining this is jonathan pi this is your character and i bring this up because you got some pretty high praise for this in the form of brick interface himself noted comedienne and originator of the original office the u.k. version ricky says i just watched your bit on man slinging brilliant brain for all analytical without forgetting to be funny i like to think that i could do something that's crafted and detailed if i had the patience and the energy so. happy now right that's my next post to quote thank you very much. yeah i mean that
5:27 pm
particular bit i mean i must explain the jonathan part of the character i'm me you know we're lefties we're liberals but what i find with satire these days is that you know certainly in the u.k. and i've seen a little bit of it here i mean in the u.k. it's all sorts of shows a whole for now all of. on voters stupid and on trump voters stupid well one that's not true to tactically. not clever and three it's boring you know so what i try to do with pi is because he cares about the left in the liberal ideas he's trying to lie on the left just as much as he does the right by telling them where they're going wrong and they aren't going wrong you can tell that because of who's in the white house at the moment you know something went wrong along along the line you know. because john pike has it because. yeah i mean certainly with this thing about left i care deeply about free speech which isn't very fashionable on the left these days certainly my country i think in america is
5:28 pm
under attack but what's interesting for me is the comedy world i'm very new to the comedy world i started off as an actor of all the art forms i've ever encountered and you wouldn't think it the comedy world is the most sense sorious the most sensitive i mean the attacks i've got from the comedy world just for standing up for the principle of free speech suddenly you're all right you're not so you're not see apologise it's bonkers to me so it makes me double down and go no this is this is you never going to win if you if you keep down that road as far as i'm concerned . cast i just want to play a little clip from your work which is done on some of the al-jazeera platforms so you would think that you had quite a conservative audience but then here is the material that nothing happened. do ya graffiti and now americans are learning that the syrian civil war is arguably the seven layer dip of wars you've got your authoritarian your rebels your civilians your foreign superpowers your warring factions your stateless fighters topped off
5:29 pm
with a whole lot of misinformation in other words an amazing way out of luck syria is about as easy to understand as a third grader trying to give you a synopsis of game of thrones ok so the assads are like the land if there is and the us is like the stars or maybe they're the target putin is randy bolton and see young great joy is the. and i'm thinking conservatives will see no to a big sea. yes i think well that is i mean that's an interesting thing that you noted there in terms of the way that news broke was born out of al-jazeera right and born out of an online platform that is really targeted at young people and so many so much of the language that young people are speaking i think ever since the daily show was going back really is through satire and through comedy they want to be informed but they don't want everything to be so serious i think tom's character speaks to that as well right whenever you break down this
5:30 pm
buttoned up newscaster i think that especially young people are going to listen much more than they would if you're if you're just over the top sincere so i think news broke set out to do that and i think to a lot we gain new fans i think so major plus people who are used to seeing let's say the syrian civil war only treated through the lens of being that buttoned up newscasts which i think afterwards so many years can get we all tune it out there's a way we both tune out. what we think is like distasteful or you know something that is off color but then also we tune out things that are way too serious and sad so how do we get people to pay attention and i was our first attempt at talking about something so so grave christina. i think i just think we i see here which tom is saying about free speech is and their attack and i used
5:31 pm
to be someone who's like yeah let's just have at it let's just say whatever we want until. until people begin to take alex jones seriously and then act on those things or until someone does like oh man i've got to go shoot up a synagogue. because there's a god is helping these folks are going to go is responsible for his own actions donald trump didn't do that and i'm experienced and do that and also by alex jones now not being allowed a platform that he doesn't go away he goes underground but by suppressing an opinion you don't you don't you don't love alex jones as a performance artist yeah ok i'm a start is i'll give us a performance i was a performance artist yeah i love it but i don't know what's happening because it's shifting culture in a way that like who this is. now i think people civil rights people or people don't understand how human rights works and are making decisions. based on what they think that alex jones is telling them or showing up at
5:32 pm
a pizza parlor to to what are people make their own decisions right they go because if you go shoot something up but where they're getting those orders from someone at the top or someone who is position as a story and there's nobody challenging them or their space that's challenging them that's not right then exactly and i think that's what has my question what's going on tom i mean i agree with christine and like i definitely here we are coming from i'm someone who believes that you don't have to just punch up i think that people blaming stephen colbert for you know and satirical news for the reason that like trump got elected that's obviously ridiculous i do believe in free speech but all speech actually isn't created equal unfortunately we don't lose in a petri dish of life and politics and economics unfortunately the president's words have way more meaning and when. it says was it soros i don't know people say soros is paying for migrants that come across the border who knows like that actually
5:33 pm
matters more than my little you tube channel saying that you know. like you know bait is the caviar like whatever there is so like i think that in theory just like libertarianism it's all good but in practice you get the koch brothers but it didn't but in practice donald trump is in the white house i mean and on the trail to the white house it seemed impossible when he came out with those those awful remarks you know. make. you know all of that sort of stuff where you get after i mean there were assholes absolutely absolutely and you go how can he possibly win the white house now and he did so there is a problem here there is that we have somehow donald trump we bred donald trump into that white house which perhaps twenty twenty five years ago when political discourse was perhaps a little bit more i mean look at where political discourse is you.
