Transcript for Samantha Bee says Trump presidency 'worse' than she expected

So, it's two years since the last time you were here. Two years, yeah. I came on the show -- I feel like the day after the first episode, and now we've done 4,000 episodes, it feels like, in two years. And you're still really the only woman in late night, are you not? I mean, not -- no. Robin has her show on bet. The rundown is really good. Sarah Silverman has her show. It's happening. It hasn't happened. I thought it would go a little faster, you know what I mean? But I'm okay with it. I welcome -- Everybody is still talking about stormy. I know. What do you think? What do you think? I kind of want to meet her. I feel like I should ask her to come on my show. She's a really interesting character. I was so excited to go -- it was kind of like in New York City anyway, it was definitely people had signs up on the outside of their bars. They're like, we're watching stormy at 7:00. Come on in. It was like that at my house. We watched it after hours though. We do not let the children watch. No. But you got to vote for the first time in 2016 as an American citizen. I did. Thank you Because you're from Canada. I am. I'm a naturalized citizen so I can vote now and look what I did. I'm sorry. Thanks, thanks. 2016. Are you still a Canadian citizen also? Yeah, I'm a duel citizen, yeah. Yeah, why not? And my kids are duel citizens too. They were all born here. What was your experience like? What was the feeling? I loved it. I felt like -- because I've lived in the United States for a really long time. I've lived here about 15 years and I've been doing political comedy for that entire time. So it actually felt amazing to not just be observing from an eagle eye. It was just -- You're part of it. I'm a part of it. I own it. I want to make it better. I participate in it. I pay my taxes. I do this. So I was so proud. It was a really great day. I covered myself with "I voted" stickers. 00 I was so proud. I took my oldest daughter to show her what civic responsibility looks like, you know. And then, anyway, things turned automatic. Canadians value voting a lot. Yeah. Do not take it for granted. I do not take it for granted at all. Does the reality of the trump administration matched up to what you thought it was going to be? For me, from my perspective, it's worse than I imagined. I mean, I can't -- Like I knew -- I had my own predictions but I didn't expect it to be this -- I didn't expect everything to happen at this pace. I didn't expect it to be as incoherent as I feel it to be. I didn't expect it to be as mean-spirited as I personally find it to be. Yeah, it's been a grave disappointment but -- Gives you a lot of material. Well, I'd rather balance. I'd rather -- I prefer a slower-paced show and more -- Did you see one little silver lining at all? I will say that I'm happy to go out and witness people's engagement with politics actually. Yes. That I do think no matter what you believe it has actually pulled the blinders back and exposed a lot of things that maybe we needed to look at for a really long time and people's level of engagement is really high. I went to the March over the weekend. It was amazing to see all these kids, little kids. Future voters. I was not that engaged when I was 8 years old. I don't think I could speak to any issues. It is -- it makes me feel a sense of calm when I think about the future. The future, yeah. You know, if we have one. We do, we have one. We have one. One thing, Samantha, that I've just been so thrilled about is your work in Puerto Rico and I thank you for that. Thank you. Yeah, and you have a special air is. Yes. We have a special airing tonight called "The great American Puerto Rico." It is -- I'm so proud of it. You went in February. I went in November. Things were horrible when I went in November. How were they in February? We went, yes, mid-february. It definitely -- I mean, progress has certainly been made. It looks different. It definitely -- I think that if you were visiting San Juan right now which people should definitely start doing again. Yes, please. You could -- if you weren't a super observant person you could almost not knowing that anything happened if you stuck to certain Zones. Once you get outside of that area, that's when you really start to see it. I think that it was -- I will say that it was an amazing trip. It's a very special place and until you really go there and travel around a bit, you don't really know that. But it has a quality that is unlike any other place I've ever been actually. I agree. It really comes down to the people. It does. And I believe we have a clip. What can you do with solar power? Are there just endless possibilities? We can basically power anything. Anything?
