Democrats in Washington are clashing
over student loan forgiveness
after President Biden said he would not
issue an executive order forgiving $50,000 in student loans.
Yeah.
Party leaders are strongly asking
President Biden to reconsider,
and they're not the only ones
with a message for President Biden,
a lot of young people are upset.
Apparently even my assistant Sona Movsesian
has something she would like to say, Sona.
Thanks Conan.
By the way, Sona,
I didn't know that you were that political.
I'm not,
but as someone who had a lot of student loan debt,
I really wanted to weigh in on this.
Terrific, you have the floor.
Go ahead
And urge President Biden, not to forgive student loans.
Wait a minute,
you don't want him to forgive student loans?
That's what I just said.
You see if I didn't have crippling debt
coming out of college, I might not have been forced
to take this job as your assistant,
which I have spent all of my formative years doing.
Yeah, that's true.
Without student loans,
I might've been able to pursue one of my real passions,
like documentary filmmaking.
Instead I'm here spreading hummus on a gluten-free tortilla
just the way you like it.
Not too much hummus, okay?
It's a really strong flavor.
Yeah, thin layer
By now I might've been able
to direct an award-winning film
about a girl's school in Afghanistan,
but instead I'm driving around the city,
looking for a chest merkin in that matches your hair color
in case you decide to wear a v-neck
It's important, the hairs show.
Do they have one for down below?
(laughing)
Come on Sona, you have to admit
the job does have its perks,
you get to be on a hit podcast,
you get to appear on national television.
I love being famous enough
to be on the walls of dry cleaners in Glendale
and have grown men rating my feet on WikiFeet.
4.6.
That's a pretty good rating.
(grunting)
God.
In fact, I love it so much
that I want to give this opportunity to other students too.
So please President Biden, don't cancel student debt
and allow students to pursue their dreams.
Make sure they're desperate enough
to take any assistant job that comes their way.
Then one of them will have to take over this job for me
and I can finally do something I enjoy.
Thanks.
Yeah, thank you Sona.
By the way you're fired.
I wish!
(screaming)
All right, well, listen,
we've got a great show tonight.
Wanda Sykes gonna be joining us.
We'll take a break.
We'll be right back.
Terrific job, Sona.
Make sure, do they have that for the low back too?
I've got a little tuft there that needs a placing.
(laughing)
What's wrong with you.
[Conan] Well, it's true. It's, it's so orange.
