Samantha Bee joins Hysteria to talk reproductive health funding, special elections, and the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. They don’t feel bad for criticizing Kristi Noem’s outfits, and they do feel a little bad that Elise Stefanik lost her cabinet position. Sam also gets in touch with her Canadian roots and gives the inside perspective on how America’s craziness is affecting our neighbors to the North. Then comedian Kiran Deol chats with Alyssa about some more hopeful, uplifting news stories. They wrap up with a Sanity Corner discussion of Shen Yun and figure skating.
