Hillary Clinton's interview on Between Two Ferns started with the Secret Service tackling masked host Zach Galifianakis, and things only got more ridiculous from there. After a few quips about Clinton's tenure as secretary of state — "How many words per minute did you type? And how does President Obama like his coffee?" — Galifianakis asks Clinton about, of course, Donald Trump.
"When he's elected president and Kid Rock becomes secretary of state, are you going to move to Canada?" Galifianakis asks. Clinton explains that she'd remain in the U.S. to "prevent [Trump] from destroying" the country, though she declines Galifianakis' suggestion to "take up arms" against Trump. "Oh right, because you were saying before we were rolling that you wanted to take away everyone's guns," Galifianakis says. "Cool, cool."
