and colbert's america, satire and democracy. she also has a column on salon where she regularly covers politics and culture. one of the thread we are pulling throughout the symposium is just how satire influences public opinion and why satire is sometimes more powerful than traditional news. i turn you over to professor mclennan. [applause] prof. mclennan: thank you. i think you are missing the best weather minneapolis as seen in themonths. i appreciate you taking a moment to spend your time with me. i am thrilled to be here. i love talking about this stuff. it is pretty much what i do. i am going to throw a lot of things out. some of what is here is in the books she mentioned. but, some are part of a new book called "trump is a joke: why satire makes sense when politics doesn't." idea, given the fact that i have all these amazing political cartoonists in the room, maybe you could just gin up a book cover for me while i talk. that would be cool. [laughter] let's start with, what is it that we need to have a healthy democracy? st

i amis what colbert said, going to feel the news at you. dialogueand having about the information you got what you watched his that all died -- the news. that all died with cnn. they give you feelings and opinions to you. they all yell at each other. the information you get goes down. the next thing is fox news in 1996, the first openly partisan channel. ann coulter had a show on msnbc. we live in this land of a sense of partisanshap on the news. that ramps up. 9/11 fear and hype. the's the beginning of ticker. satire fixed it because it helps remind us of the actual story. what we know, and you guys, it's such a privilege to me that basically get what satire is. comedy is not satire. we know that satire emerges in force in moments of crisis. every human culture has satire. every community will produce it when it is told it is not allowed oto think and is supposed to get in line. vietnam.s. you can say would be another moment, but 9/11 was the real crush for satire. we had the onion, michael moore, the yes men, but really the center was ste

but really the center of this was john stewart and stephen colbert and the energy of their two shows. we had a lot of satire interventions. one of the big things that changes and is really interesting to study, the way they had a measurable impact. not just in public opinion, but things that would actually happen in politics. tina fey does sarah palin and ruins her career. i mean there's a lot of data on this that you can just track, tina fey, sarah palin, people don't support her, they cannot longer see her anything else, but a joke. and the beauty of this, tina fey just repeats the same words. and why is that brilliant? because you guys get it. impersonation is extremely funny when it requires no art, right? the irony is even bigger. but then you have colbert at the white house correspondents' dinner and he didn't say you're a lunatic, but he said i love you. this guy is the best guy. and because he was embodying a huge supporter of bush, he was able to say things that, you know, nobody could say. and he gets a pleased look on his face. but then you have moments like john stewart lo

i'm stephen colbert. and i'm legally blind. ( laughter ) you know, you're not going to believe this, but donald trump is in the news. the administration is still dealing with the fallout from trump announcing that the u.s. will be pulling out of the iran deal. it's trump's biggest pulling out blunder since eric. ( laughter ) ( applause ) and president trump spent the day complaining on twitter about leaks inside the white house, because we all know trump prefers his leaks in russian hotel rooms. ( applause ) you get it, stephen? because the president watched two russian prostitutes urinate on a hotel mattress. >> stephen: allegedly. >> right, right, allegedly. could've been three prostitutes. ( laughter ) >> stephen: we-- we get the idea. >> we've got a great one for you tonight! >> stephen: when i come back, more monologue. >> oh, how tantalizingly vague. >> stephen: and "back to the future's" jamie foxx is here. >> and blake lively is not. i don't feel well. oh, what the! you don't have the budget for t

i'm your host, stephen colbert. you know, most nights i come out here and make jokes about the news from washington. well, tonight, the news from washington is about jokes-- who can tell them and who can take them. telling them at saturday's white house correspondents' dinner circle-of-jerks was comedian michelle wolf. ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) from the sound of that, none of you attended. ( laughter ) she didn't pull any punches, and some people were offended by what she had to say. presumably, those people who have been in a coma for the past two-and-a-half years. ( laughter ) "ugh-- they just revived me at 8:58 p.m. on saturday night. who is this vulgar woman? president hillary clinton must be so offended." ( laughter ) and at this event roasting the administration and the media, y'know who got mad? the administration and the media. ( laughter ) like the beltway insiders at axios who wrote that wolf used a vulgarity that begins with "p." ooo, ooo, ooo-- let me guess! vulgar and begins with a "p"... wha

( laughter ) is that what we're looking for?" apparently, in the beginning of march, mueller's team called trump's lawyers to give them a preview of the questions. the lawyers took notes, and then somehow those notes wound up at "the new york times." trump wants to pin the blame on mueller, but mueller's former assistant says grammatical errors in the document prove that the leaked questions came from the trump white house. the yeah, they weren't quite right. >> jon: they can't spell.
