Ever wondered exactly what kind of influence Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have in the White House?

Well John Oliver is here to tell you.

In an epic 25-minute rant on Last Week Tonight, Oliver breaks down exactly what the couple many think of as a "moderating influence" on Trump actually do -- and what, if anything, makes them qualified to do it.

"I know that all of this may seem like an evisceration of both Jared and Ivanka, but it is really not," Oliver concludes at the end of his rant.

"I don't know enough about them to eviscerate them. Just as you don't know enough about them to justify putting any real hopes in them."
