00:00I don't know if you had a chance to say the Kwanee-Trump lunch yesterday.

00:04I've been hearing about it a little bit.

00:05Okay. Well, there was one part where Kwanee says that he supports Donald Trump because of his male energy.

00:10Uh-huh.

00:11Do you think that we need more male energy at this point right now?

00:14No, I don't really think we... I think we have plenty of male energy.

00:17I think female energy is the prescription for the world today.

00:22And women who disagree with people are male energy.

00:25What do you think they can do, other than putting them in terms?

00:28What else can we get out there?

00:29I mean, I think that the ultimate goal is for everybody to be working together.

00:34I think, you know, the perfect mix is both kinds of energy working together.

00:38I think what we need now is for women just to speak out and tell their truth.

00:43I'm so inspired. Every time I go on Twitter, it's a feed full of people telling their truth.

00:47I think that hurts in the short term sometimes.

00:50It can be a little bit uncomfortable, but in the long term, that's what we need.

00:53And what is your reaction to Donald Trump saying that this is a scary term for men?

00:56Can I just circle my face for the camera?

01:01I don't know how to look less impressed with that statement.

01:05It has never not been a scary time for women.

01:08We deal with it very quietly. That's part of what we do.

01:11And I'm glad this conversation is being had.

01:14And I'm glad everyone is saying exactly what they think so we can really discuss what all of that means.

01:18I don't think that hurts the Me Too movement because I think that most Americans can tell the difference between a story and real life.

01:36And so many stories are told every week now in our news cycle, and they change so dramatically.

01:43But we are a very savvy audience, Americans.

01:46We've got a lot of great TV to learn from.

01:48I believe in the power of knowing when it's fiction and when it's truth.

01:52What is women's power of women into and why do we need it right now?

01:54Why is it so crucial?

01:55The power of women is crucial now because it's always been crucial.

01:59I think there's never been a time where women's voices and women's thoughts haven't been important.

02:04I think anything we can do to amplify one another, anything we can do to listen to what people have to say,

02:09we need out-of-the-box ideas, and I think this is a really great place to get some.

02:12The TV shows that I work on are doing little campaigns to encourage people to make sure that they're registered.

02:18It can be fun.

02:19It's quick and easy to vote.

02:21It makes you feel awesome to be an American.

02:23I don't think that's a hard one, and I think it will make a difference.
