“Those are really. out-of-date questions”, she dispassionately responds to her interviewer’s inquiries about her words-per-minute typing skills, and President Obama’s coffee order. “You need to get out more”, Clinton fired back. Clinton said: “I assume he’ll wear that red power tie”. The latest interview comes as Clinton has been courting young voters in her campaign against Trump. “Are we gonna be stuck with [Vice Presidential candidate] Tim Kaine for nine months?” “Or maybe like a white power tie”, Galifianakis said.

The interview was reportedly filmed on the day Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia, which likely aided her in achieving those inscrutable reactions.
Once the two sat between the two ferns, they discussed a variety of topics including Donald Trump, her health issues during the campaign and Chelsea Clinton’s friendship with Ivanka Trump.
Clinton didn’t get off too easy in the interview, with Galifianakis making irreverent remarks about Clinton as “the first girl president” and alluding to her email controversy and previous friendly relationship with the Trump family.
“Tell me, when you first laid eyes on Angelina [Jolie], is it like one of those classical love stories, like when Ross first saw Rachel?”
Clinton: That’s even more appropriate.
Reproduction: “What happens if you become pregnant?” I don’t think he would do it …
When Galifianakis wonders whether that means Clinton will “lead the civil war”, Clinton says she will not “take up arms” because that would be “extreme”.
The interview ended with: “This has been a lot of fun Mrs. Clinton”.
