Amy! Supreme Court Justice Amy

0:37

Coney Barrett sparks outrage from

0:39

maga supporters for citing with

0:41

liberals against the president's bid

0:44

to freeze $2 billion in

0:46

foreign aid. Will this tip

0:48

the scales for the balance

0:51

of power? Or does Trump

0:53

still have plenty of friends

0:55

in court? The Hamilton rebellion.

0:58

How creator and star of

1:00

the Broadway phenomenon Hamilton, Lin

1:03

Manuel Miranda, is not

1:05

thrown away his shot to

1:07

take a stand against the

1:10

president's war on woke culture.

1:12

Then Mindy Kaling is talking

1:15

about her night with Oscar,

1:17

finding a permanent place

1:19

in Hollywood history. and the

1:22

real-life inspiration behind her latest

1:24

series, Running Poin. Plus, we're

1:27

kicking off Women's

1:29

History Month with

1:31

a performance from some

1:34

of the women of

1:36

Disney on Broadway. Here

1:38

come hot topics with

1:41

whoopies. Sarah Haynes.

1:43

Joy Beha. Anna

1:45

Navarro. Sunny

1:48

Austin. And

1:50

Elizabetha Ferra

1:53

Griffin. Now, let's

1:56

get things started.

2:00

Sauna. There

2:32

was a moment from Tuesday night's

2:34

joint address to Congress that

2:36

raised a lot of speculation

2:38

about whether some Supreme Court

2:41

justices are loyal to the

2:43

U.S. Constitution or to this guy. Take

2:45

a look. Thank you again. Don't

2:47

forget. Some people were freaking out

2:49

because he was saying thank you, thank

2:51

you, thank you. I said maybe they

2:54

crossed in the gentleman's room and he

2:56

said thank you for letting me go

2:58

first. I don't know. But

3:01

hours after that. Conservative

3:03

Chief Justice Roberts sided

3:05

with liberal justices against

3:07

the sitting president, who is

3:09

cutting off two billion in

3:11

foreign aid. Most of the

3:14

rage from MAGA supporters, however,

3:16

was directed not towards

3:18

him, but towards... Justice

3:21

Amy Connie Barrett who also sided

3:23

with liberals. So does it give

3:25

you some hope? Are you surprised

3:27

that they turned on her suddenly

3:29

they would say she's in now?

3:31

What are the letters because I

3:33

keep messing with the D. E. I? They

3:35

were accusing her now she's been A sitting

3:37

justice for five years. I guess they just

3:40

realized she was female. I mean, because they

3:42

didn't, I mean. Well, she's been voting for

3:44

a Trump, mostly. So now she didn't, and

3:46

then the attorney, you have a 100% loyal

3:49

to the king or the debate? Yeah, well,

3:51

you're supposed to be loyal to the Constitution

3:53

as a Supreme Court justice. So what do

3:55

you think? Well, I just didn't think I

3:58

would live to see the day that. Amy

4:00

Koni Barrett was declared a rhino

4:02

by maga. This so often happens.

4:04

The call on Amy Kami Barry.

4:06

I mean, this is just wild

4:08

to me. And I deal with

4:10

this a lot where my positions

4:12

have just not fundamentally changed, but

4:14

the parties did. And she was

4:16

right from a conservative constitutional standpoint

4:18

in this ruling. It is about

4:21

the separation of powers. It's about

4:23

the fact that Congress has the

4:25

power of the purse. These were

4:27

congressionally appropriated funds. But also the.

4:29

D-E-I-Hire. This was somebody who was so

4:31

celebrated by conservatives when she was confirmed

4:33

there was this famous moment she held

4:35

up a notepad in the confirmation hearing

4:37

because she needed no notes. Graduated number

4:40

one in her class from Sunnies alma

4:42

mater. She's a mom of seven kids.

4:44

She clerked for Scalia, the DC appeals

4:46

court, like her she has objectively qualified

4:48

whether you like her politics or not

4:50

but it just goes to show that

4:52

if you on anything or on the

4:55

other side of Trump they will just

4:57

go to the earths. I met to

4:59

Corinne the other day, we're talking

5:01

to Corinne St. Jean Pia. Yeah,

5:03

I mean, she's probably, you know,

5:06

so, so qualified and I read

5:08

off a list of her qualifications,

5:11

but, you know, I think, we

5:13

don't understand. Cotonji Brown. Yes. Well,

5:15

you have nothing else to pick

5:18

on. You do that. Well, people

5:20

don't. But now that, but actually,

5:23

this is a white woman also.

5:25

got the most out of affirmative

5:27

action and people don't talk about

5:30

that. So I think the maggocrat is

5:32

now also saying, you know, diversity, equity,

5:34

inclusion applies to white women too. And

5:37

I think that's surprising to be. But

5:39

back to the court, you know, to

5:41

Alyssa's point. I think people are encouraged,

5:43

someone encouraged, by the Supreme Court ruling

5:46

because it was five to four and

5:48

they said, you know, there's executive overreach

5:50

here. There are three branches, equal branches

5:53

of government, the legislative branch that has

5:55

the power of the purse, that's Congress,

5:57

and then you have the judicial branch.

5:59

the Supreme Court is part of, and

6:02

then of course the executive branch with

6:04

Donald Trump. And this executive branch, Donald

6:06

Trump, is trying to say, you know

6:08

what, even though Congress approved two billion

6:10

dollars of aid, by the way, a

6:12

lot of it has already been, the

6:15

work has been done, they just haven't

6:17

been paid. Now the executive branch is

6:19

saying, no, Congress, we're not paying it.

6:21

That is executive overreach to the extreme.

6:23

And so I'm not surprised that Amy

6:26

Koni Barrett did this, but the Supreme

6:28

Court could have said. pay the bill.

6:30

They didn't do that. What they

6:32

did instead is they kicked it

6:35

back to the federal, the district

6:37

court judge, circuit court judge, and

6:40

what they said was, you have

6:42

to clarify what obligations the government

6:44

must fulfill. There should be

6:46

no clarification. The government Congress approved $2

6:49

billion worth of foreign aid. Some of

6:51

the work has been done, there's a

6:53

contract, a legal binding contract, and the

6:55

money must be paid. So I'm not

6:58

that excited about this Supreme Court decision.

7:00

Wait, Sony, explain this to me though.

7:02

So what I read was that the

7:05

government now has to disperse this $2

7:07

billion in payments and what the Supreme

7:09

Court dissent wanted was put a stay,

7:11

stop the payments because they can't undo

7:14

it once it's been paid, which is

7:16

why Amy Koni Barrett is getting. credit

7:18

for again I don't know why it

7:20

judges are they have to abide by

7:23

the Constitution and how they interpret it

7:25

so I hate when it's always this

7:27

is her job this is her job

7:30

and by the way they can't just

7:32

say I voted this way like Congress

7:34

they have to tell you why they

7:36

voted that way how they voted that

7:39

way how they voted that way how

7:41

they got there by showing their work

7:43

but my understanding is that the reason

7:46

it was a very brief order

7:48

which was unsigned, which is

7:50

typical of these brief orders, what

7:52

it said only that the trial

7:55

judge who had ordered the

7:57

government to resume payments should clarify

7:59

what obligations government must fulfill and

8:01

where really I know this is getting

8:04

wheezy because I'm a legal nurse but

8:06

what you really need to sorry but

8:08

what you really need to look at

8:10

is Justice Alito's dissent which basically says

8:13

this is ridiculous We don't have to

8:15

pay it. What do we have to

8:17

pay? And so, and it is, it's

8:19

unconstitutional. And that's Alito. So there's, this

8:22

is not something that we should be

8:24

that excited about because it could go

8:26

right back to the Supreme Court. She

8:28

did the right thing. Yeah, and I

8:30

did want to know. Oh, I'm sorry. Well,

8:33

I was going to talk about something else,

8:35

but whatever. Do it. Well, just to wrap

8:37

this up, to wrap this up, listen.

8:39

I'm glad when anybody puts

8:41

some thought into stuff getting

8:44

done. Now, they've kicked it

8:46

back to these guys. And this

8:48

judge will say, here's why, and

8:50

this is what it's going to

8:53

be, because the judge said, you

8:55

can't do that. The judge laid

8:57

out your argument. The federal court

8:59

judge did do that. And you

9:02

know who and his folks went

9:04

and said, listen, just tells

9:06

we don't have to do that.

9:09

these folks who are also judges

9:11

laid it out so we're gonna

9:13

send it back so maybe they

9:15

can clarify for you what is

9:17

unclear to you you made a

9:19

contract you got to pay it

9:22

period but they should have done

9:24

that this time well maybe they're

9:26

doing it maybe that maybe there's

9:28

a little going on now who can

9:31

say who can say what's going on

9:33

in this place but I can say

9:35

this we'll be right back It's

9:45

2025 and a new year means new opportunities

The views topics are red

12:13

hot and tomorrow she stunned

12:15

the world when she became

12:17

pregnant with eight babies at

12:19

once. But what was it

12:21

really like raising them? Octomom

12:23

Natalie Suleiman is telling all

12:25

on ABC's The View. Welcome

12:32

back. The White Lotus,

12:34

or the Caucasian Lotus,

12:36

as I call it,

12:38

is about ultra-rich people

12:40

going to exotic locations.

12:42

But there's a conversation

12:45

from the latest episode

12:47

that a lot of

12:49

Americans can relate to

12:51

these days. Take a look.

12:53

Wait. Are you a Republican?

12:56

No. I'm an independent. But

12:58

Davis? An

13:03

independent. Since

13:06

when? You didn't

13:08

vote for Trump

13:11

though, did you?

13:13

Are we really

13:16

going to talk

13:18

about Trump

13:21

tonight? Okay, first off

13:23

these women, if you watch, are not actually

13:25

friends. They don't know anything about each other's

13:27

lives. They're kind of passive aggressive throughout. Kind

13:29

of, they're aggressive aggressive. It's not nice, but

13:31

also I always talk about, my friends are

13:33

very equally split. My best friends are a

13:35

Democrat, but in our immediate group, we have

13:37

people who voted for Trump. If you know

13:39

people to their core, you know their values

13:41

and you know why they decided. You can

13:43

respect them and coexist with them supporting somebody

13:45

that you didn't. This is just clearly like,

13:47

they're not even talking to her about who

13:49

she is, like, how she likes to live

13:51

her life. I find it bizarre. I won't

13:53

give them a kidney, but I could be

13:55

friends with them. I mean, the question, the

13:57

thing about it is it's not just about

13:59

politics. It's about morality, ethics, it's

14:02

about cruelty, it's about discrimination,

14:04

it's about a lot of things. So those

14:06

are personal human values. We're not really

14:08

just talking about fiscal conservative who pays

14:10

more taxes. We're talking about... you as

14:13

a human being. So it's hard to

14:15

be friends with someone who signs on

14:17

to something like that. On the other

14:19

hand, open to discussion, I like to

14:21

talk to them, find out what exactly

14:24

do you know about this guy. Yeah,

14:26

I agree with that because I think,

14:28

you know, we're in abnormal times. This

14:30

is not the Republican Party of yesterday.

14:32

This is sort of the Trump. I

14:35

think it's the Trumpican party in many

14:37

respects. It's so extreme. And

14:39

if someone is supporting or

14:41

voting for someone who is

14:43

hurting members of my family,

14:45

members of my community, our

14:47

elderly, our children, gutting our

14:49

government, firing people. I do have

14:51

a hard time. being friends with that

14:54

person. But what I will say about

14:56

the show, because I love White

14:58

Lotus, is it's third season. These

15:00

are friends that used to be

15:02

very, very close. And they now

15:04

have grown apart. One is living

15:06

in Austin, Texas. That's the Trump

15:08

voter. There's another one who's a

15:10

New York lawyer. And there's another

15:12

one that lives in Los Angeles

15:14

who's an actor. So they are

15:16

now getting back together and realizing

15:18

that their friendship has changed. It

15:21

does happen. But I think that

15:23

also growing up where I grew

15:25

up, it's very common to know people that

15:27

vote differently. I went from Midwest conservative life

15:29

to super liberal East Coast life, and I

15:31

also know that Joy, when you mention like

15:34

how could anyone vote for that? When you

15:36

go into their bubbles and you see the

15:38

coverage they're watching and their families and their

15:40

churches, they're not voting on this awful human

15:42

being that you're seeing over here. They're voting

15:45

on the way it's captured with their own

15:47

beliefs. I tend to show what you said

15:49

is more curiosity because if I share the

15:51

values, which I love people that did vote

15:54

for him and I love them, that part

15:56

is more important to me. So I'm more curious

15:58

as to why you made that decision. and getting

16:00

that understanding. Yeah, I think that you

16:02

can talk to people because they don't,

16:04

they're getting their information from it. Very

16:06

different silos. Yeah, I know. And I

16:09

think that basic people are good. I

16:11

do. I believe Americans are basically good

16:13

people and have empathy for, you know.

16:15

Like right now, didn't we just read

16:17

something about how he doesn't want Ukrainians

16:19

to, who have citizenship to retain that?

16:21

I think that that's something that people

16:23

can relate to and say, you know,

16:25

I feel bad for these people. No

16:28

matter how you vote. Empathy is, again,

16:30

a human emotion. And if you

16:32

don't have it, you really need

16:34

to see a stream. And there

16:37

are crappy people with every political.

16:39

Of every political thing. Yeah. You

16:41

need to see a therapist. As

16:43

I've been saying, this is not a

16:45

new feel. When I grew up, the

16:47

grand wizard of the KKK was

16:50

in office. You know, it was

16:52

a congressman. We had senators. So

16:54

this is not unusual. This is

16:57

not unusual. These folks have always

16:59

been here. All those, the

17:01

racists, the misogynists, they've always

17:04

been here. You know, and so what... We

17:06

have to always do, regardless of who

17:08

you voted for, you still gotta pay

17:10

your rent, you still gotta take care

17:12

of your kids, you still gotta take

17:14

care of your business. And maybe some

17:16

of what's happening, like, you know, they're

17:18

trying to take apart the Department of

17:21

Education. Maybe that is a good thing,

17:23

because maybe it will force us. to

17:25

make sure that our kids actually get

17:27

what they need. Maybe it'll force us

17:29

to go to our state and say,

17:31

listen, I want to make sure, since

17:33

you're taking all this money from my

17:36

taxes, I want to make sure that

17:38

my kids get exactly what they need.

17:40

I don't have to wait for

17:42

the government to do it. We can

17:44

do it. This is now in our hands.

17:46

And it's going to be tough. And nobody

17:48

wants to do it, because it's a bitch.

17:50

But you know what? If it comes down

17:52

to your survival, this is what you gotta

17:55

do. You gotta take care of what you

17:57

gotta take care of. And they're telling me

17:59

that we're gonna. be right back.

18:16

Welcome back, the Tony and

18:18

Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Hamilton is

18:21

canceling plans to perform at

18:23

the Kennedy Center for the Performing

18:25

Arts in DC. Producer Jeffrey Seller

18:27

said our show simply cannot in

18:29

good conscience participate and be a

18:32

part of this new culture that's

18:34

being imposed on the Kennedy Center.

18:36

But Acting Kennedy Center President Richard

18:38

Grinnell or Grinnell clap back at

18:40

producers and creator Lynn Manuel Miranda

18:43

calling it a publicity stunt. Did

18:46

they do the right thing by pulling the

18:48

show? Who can say, what do you

18:50

think? Well, when he said that they're

18:52

not, you know, they don't want Republicans

18:55

coming to see the show, the board

18:57

used to be made up of. partial

18:59

Biden appointees and Trump appointees. It was

19:01

mixed. And now it's almost entirely Trump.

19:04

So you would ask then, yeah. So

19:06

who's deciding who wants to come? But

19:08

I also think art is a place

19:11

of such inclusion and celebration. Everyone knows.

19:13

And like from artists dating back to

19:15

like high school theater kids on, it

19:18

was always about everyone could play

19:20

there. Everyone could be a part

19:22

of it. That's what is the

19:24

heart of art. So if you're

19:26

going somewhere and you don't feel

19:28

that sense of celebration. I mean,

19:30

I don't think they're going to

19:33

have to make adjustments. I think,

19:35

you know, Trump and Vance can

19:37

start in the King and I,

19:39

for example. And I'd like

19:41

to know, does Trump know who

19:44

Hamilton was? I mean, yeah. They

19:46

ruined the whole thing. They ruined

19:48

the new song. Shall we advance?

19:50

That's good. Thank you. We'll write

19:52

it together. That was for you.

19:54

But Sarah's point, that's exactly what

19:56

the producer of Hamilton said. He

19:58

said, we are not acting. against

20:00

his administration, but against the partisan

20:02

policies of the Kennedy Center as

20:04

a result of the recent takeover,

20:06

the actions bring a new spirit

20:08

of partisanship to the national treasure

20:10

that is the Kennedy Center. If

20:12

you fire everyone that was, and

20:14

it was a bipartisan group, and

20:16

replace them with syncopants that are

20:18

just going to, you know, uh...

20:20

Single pants, syncopants, that are just

20:22

going to, you know, to the

20:24

Trump line, then is that really

20:26

the mission of the Kennedy Center?

20:28

they say no. I'm curious what

20:30

you think would be, but because you've

20:33

attended the Kennedy Center. I'll just say

20:35

quickly, Hamilton has a long history of

20:37

making political statements at their shows. It's

20:40

something that they've always embraced and they

20:42

have a right to. It's a free

20:44

speech and freedom of expression. I do

20:46

think I love the Kennedy Center. I

20:49

lived in DC. I think people New

20:51

York and DC really know. I don't

20:53

know that in the middle of the

20:56

country this is like a real controversy.

20:58

It's on Disney Plus. Yes. But I

21:00

don't like the ending of the

21:02

tradition of it being bipartisan. I

21:04

had a friend who's on the

21:07

board. But you want the Kennedy

21:09

Center to represent the best in

21:11

the arts. Yeah. You know, when

21:13

John Kennedy was in office, I

21:15

believe it was Yo, Yo Ma,

21:17

Jose Teraby, and now we have,

21:19

we're going to have WrestleMania there.

21:21

I mean, do you have to.

21:23

Don't you knock up. People. outside

21:25

of New York, watch the Kennedy

21:27

Center honors. They have watched, they've

21:29

seen extraordinary things. So things that you

21:32

can't see in your town, you've been

21:34

able to watch. The fact that

21:36

it wasn't a discussion, it was

21:38

a big smack to the arts,

21:41

which don't have a politics. The

21:43

politics are, look at the differences

21:45

in the actors. That's the real

21:48

statement. That's why they came out

21:50

and made those statements because people

21:52

were. messing with them because Hamilton

21:55

didn't look like Hamilton and

21:57

and Miranda doesn't look like Miranda

21:59

so So I understand why

22:01

they did it, and I have

22:03

no plans to go back to

22:06

the Kennedy Center until the Kennedy

22:08

Center becomes what it was supposed

22:10

to be. And that was a

22:13

welcome place for all artists, no

22:15

matter what your groove is. You

22:18

know, they didn't make judgments about

22:20

the people that they put in.

22:22

I know. She hates that music.

22:25

It's not that I hate it,

22:27

but y'all just never let me

22:29

get to the period

22:31

to give incentives.

22:33

And you don't know

22:36

how old I

22:38

am, and I forget

22:41

where I am, and Wow,

22:45

this house is cute! But can I

22:47

really get in the game in this

22:49

economy? I do have savings and I

22:51

am responsible-ish. Eh, I should bury it.

22:54

I'm being wild. But what if I'm

22:56

not being wild though? Could I actually

22:58

score a... Kick off your home buying

23:01

journey with Zillow's new viability tool. It

23:03

makes it easy to find out what

23:05

you can afford, so you can get

23:08

off the bench and on to the

23:10

playing field with confidence. Check your

23:12

viability, only on Zillow. of

23:18

these men, I want to say that

23:20

football is not just a game. but

23:22

a way of life. Whose lifelong dream

23:24

of making it to the lead? Each

23:27

man must make a personal commitment to

23:29

excellence and to victory will

23:31

be fulfilled on this iconic stage

23:33

at Lamba. The 2025 NFL draft

23:36

begins Thursday April 24th at

23:38

8 p.m. Eastern on ESP

23:40

and ABC and NFL network.

23:48

I'm not the multi- talented Mindy Kaling

23:50

is creator and executive producer of the

23:53

new Netflix series Run and Point. Kate

23:55

Hudson stars as a woman who takes

23:57

over the family business of owner. a

24:00

legendary basketball team. That has seen

24:02

better days. Take a look. Right,

24:04

Marcus Winfield? That's insane. Ness, back

24:07

me up. Obviously I love Marcus,

24:09

okay? He got me and the kids

24:11

invited to a Simpsons table read,

24:13

but if we're not gonna make

24:15

the playoffs, then maybe it's time

24:18

we talk rebuild. First of all, we

24:20

don't know we're not making the playoffs.

24:22

Second, we are not getting rid

24:24

of Marcus. I know the record

24:26

doesn't show it, but this is a

24:28

winning roster. As much as I love

24:30

getting berated by the three of you,

24:33

I have a team to run. So

24:35

if you'll excuse me, no,

24:37

wait, this is my office, you get

24:39

out. And then I will work in

24:41

here. It's so fun. Please

24:43

welcome back the fabulous Mindy

24:46

Kaylee. So

25:07

happy to be here. You know

25:09

why? Because it was a little

25:11

feisty before I came out. And

25:13

I like it. I like entering

25:15

a feisty environment. Well, you are

25:17

fresh off the Oscars weekend, because

25:19

you were there, as you produced

25:21

a new job, which was nominated

25:23

for best live action short film.

25:25

Thank you. Currently, on Netflix.

25:28

Yes. But you ran into some people

25:30

you knew on the red carpet. Yeah. It

25:32

was, well. I ran into Whoopi and your

25:34

daughter, which was amazing. And that's the one

25:36

person I could be like, wait, I know

25:38

her too. And I'm at the place now

25:40

where when I see people with their family,

25:42

I don't know because I have kids, it's

25:45

very emotional to me. And then I saw

25:47

that photo of you and Demi, and I

25:49

actually posted it. Because someone, I had saw

25:51

it online, it was a photo of you

25:53

from Ghost together, a cast photo, and then

25:55

it was a photo of you guys at

25:57

the Oscars at the Oscars at the Oscars.

26:00

emotional a little bit. I don't know,

26:02

just that, like back then, you look

26:04

so beautiful in both photos, but that,

26:06

I don't know, you're both so successful

26:08

now and to reunite? I don't know,

26:11

it's like... We were babies. We were

26:13

babies. Yeah. In that photo, I remember

26:15

seeing Ghost in the theater. and dido

26:17

yes and exactly you have daughters

26:19

too right yeah that's what that's

26:21

part of it because my kid

26:24

and I are really close you're

26:26

you're close with your daughters

26:28

yes yeah so that you you're

26:30

seeing the possible future. Awesome. Then

26:32

Demi was there with her daughters

26:34

too. So it was a really

26:37

nice. The daughter thing is very

26:39

very special. But let's talk about

26:41

something a little more shallow. You

26:44

wore two gorgeous dresses. Oscar de

26:46

la Renta to the Oscars

26:48

and then they're going to

26:50

pass. Thank you. Best dressless.

26:52

Then you wore Ellie Sop to

26:54

the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Another

26:57

best dress. Two weeks ago, I'm

26:59

sorry I'm stalking your fashion, you

27:01

wore yet another beautiful dress by

27:04

the new arrivals to your induction

27:06

ceremony for the Hollywood Walk of

27:08

Fame. Okay? Okay. And I might

27:10

add, you're the first South Asian woman

27:12

to have a star on the Hollywood

27:15

Walk of Fame, which is kind

27:17

of shocking to me. Actually, what

27:19

was that day like for you? Well,

27:21

first of all, thank you for

27:23

mentioning the fashion because I'm obsessed

27:25

with your fashion. Well, I'm also

27:28

so effortful, like I'm the opposite

27:30

of anyone's effortless. It always, I

27:32

stress out about it and it

27:34

takes a lot of people a

27:36

lot of time to get me

27:39

ready. So for me, I really

27:41

do appreciate that compliment. And also

27:43

for the walk of fame, I

27:45

knew I was going to have

27:48

to like meal on the ground.

27:50

You're just on the tree? Kind

27:52

of, oh, oh, and a little tiny

27:54

dress. You didn't just kind of let

27:56

your cooking cigarette but away. So I

27:59

was, I wanted. you know there's a million

28:01

photographers so I didn't want to like hoist

28:03

down and you know I wanted to look

28:05

good so I actually practiced in that but

28:07

that day I mean I didn't find out

28:09

until just afterwards about being the first South

28:12

Asian woman and it was like you where

28:14

I grew up watching so many incredible South

28:16

Asian actresses in Hollywood film so for me

28:18

it's like I'm obviously excited and I

28:20

love recognition but also like a shock it's a

28:22

little surprising yeah so but those are the kind

28:25

of things where I'm like okay well now I

28:27

can just Hopefully spend the rest

28:29

of my career trying to feel like

28:31

I earn it and then also you

28:33

did it. You did it. Just put

28:35

it out of your mind. There's a

28:38

lot of things you can stress about.

28:40

Do not stress about whether or not

28:42

you earned your place here. You worked

28:44

your behind. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. of

28:46

working your behind off your new show Running

28:48

Point. My girlfriends are obsessed with this. I'm saving

28:50

it to binge on a plane later today, but

28:53

everyone loves it. It just got picked up for

28:55

season two, which is so exciting. Thank you. So

28:57

it's got a lot of heart, amazing pass, and

28:59

it's loosely based on the life of Genie Bus,

29:01

the owner and president of the Lakers. How did

29:03

this project start for you? Well, Jeanie Bus, who

29:06

is the president of the Lakers, is

29:08

one of the most iconic figures. She's

29:10

such an iconic LA figure, but just

29:12

in sports. And the story of the

29:14

Lakers has been told many, many times.

29:16

And she's not always been the lead.

29:18

And she's literally the president. There's so

29:20

few female people who own owners of

29:23

teams like that. So she loved the

29:25

office. And she's had to do some

29:27

really dramatic and crazy things in her

29:29

career. And she's like, I'd love for

29:31

you to do a loosely based based

29:33

version. of my life in the front

29:35

office and she gave us unprecedented access. Wow.

29:37

And you know if it was me I

29:39

would feel like a little nervous about the

29:41

way someone was going to portray me but

29:43

she knew as a comedy and she let

29:45

us do what we wanted to do and

29:47

she trusted you. She trusted you. She trusted

29:49

you. You know in comedy is like we

29:51

didn't want to have to make it not

29:53

funny and not real. She was in good

29:55

hands because you earned it. And with Kate

29:57

Hudson I think you know is and she's...

29:59

so funny in this role. So

30:02

we feel so lucky to be

30:04

working. My co-creators, Ike and Dave,

30:06

and I, to be working with

30:08

Gene and with Katie. Well, that's

30:10

one of the best parts about

30:12

this show is the cast. The

30:14

cast, you mentioned Kate Hudson,

30:16

but you have Brenda's song,

30:19

Max Greenfield, Chet Hanks, Justin

30:21

Thoreau, Justin Thoreau, like, Jayas,

30:24

Toby Sandiman. Yes. These guys

30:26

are excellent actors and also.

30:29

They're not hard on the eyes.

30:31

Yeah, they're not. Did that come up

30:33

at all? It's helpful. Did it come

30:35

up that I was like, you're both

30:37

gorgeous? Yeah, I mean, is that something

30:40

that comes up in the company? Makes

30:42

it easy watching. I always think it's

30:44

nice when very talented actors are great

30:46

looking as a TV producer. Like that's

30:48

a nice feeling, you know, looking for

30:50

the viewers. It's nice for the viewers.

30:52

And I mean, these two guys, it's

30:55

like, it's like, they have to play.

30:57

extremely good at basketball. So they're

30:59

very good looking. So yeah, like I

31:02

like to I like to give them

31:04

what they want guys. What am I

31:06

what am I going to say? I

31:08

love that you put Chetless cast also.

31:10

I love him Chet He's he's He's

31:13

a good guy. You know too is

31:15

like he got well known for some

31:17

of the stuff he was saying online

31:19

but what that kind of distracted from

31:22

this fact that he's such a funny

31:24

actor. It's wonderful actor. And it was

31:26

so great to be able to show off

31:28

that side of it. I'm a big fan

31:30

of his so thank you for that. And

31:33

we're going to come back with more

31:35

with Mindy Kaley. Friday

31:42

night David Moore reporting. We take you

31:44

inside two cases. A mother just 19

31:46

years old. She was trying to protect

31:48

her daughter. She bought like hell. Another

31:50

case is the beloved teacher, her whole

31:52

future ahead of her. mysterious cold cases.

31:54

It gets your chills even today. Yes.

31:57

What links both of those cases is

31:59

the cutting edge. forensic technology inside this

32:01

lab. It sounded like science fiction at

32:03

the time. Can they be solved? You'll

32:06

see it unfold right here as they

32:08

unmask the killer in both cases. Kitching

32:10

the Killers 2020 Friday on ABC. Welcome

32:16

back, we're back with Mindy Kaling

32:18

and Joy has the question. Well, you

32:20

know, people say write what you know,

32:23

so I'm questioning of this story that

32:25

you wrote, The Sex Lives of College

32:27

Girls. Why are you questioning if I

32:29

didn't have a lot of sex in

32:32

college? I'm just wondering. No, the answer

32:34

is, the answer is no. I did

32:36

not, but I wanted to write a

32:38

show about, you see all these like

32:40

fratty movies and TV shows about... boys

32:43

having fun and I actually really like

32:45

them group with animal animals and all

32:47

these different things and I just thought like it'd be

32:49

great to show the experience from girls who want boyfriends

32:51

and to be in love and to have sex and

32:54

experience that for the first time. So the right what

32:56

you know not necessarily you know I will say a

32:58

friend joy. Yes a lot of the times the girls

33:00

are like aspiring to do it and I think I

33:02

relate to that they're not successful. Yeah going back to

33:04

you going back to that little? I mean, sometimes I

33:06

do, like a running point, it was so fun to

33:09

make it that I was sitting there being like, why

33:11

am I not on this? I'm jealous of all really?

33:13

Yeah, but I, it's going well, so I don't want

33:15

to. jigsaw like I don't want to have it be

33:17

that I show up and I don't think that's

33:19

what's going to happen. Yeah. Get out ahead of

33:21

that. It's really good. But I thank you for

33:23

even asking. I do I would love to get

33:25

back out there and do something. And I think

33:28

people forget how much you're behind the scenes because

33:30

you're producing so much. It's amazing but I was

33:32

also excited to see you on the screen. You

33:34

were on Megan Markle show with Love Megan. What

33:36

was that experience like? What was that experience like?

33:38

You know, I had a great time. I

33:40

noticed that whenever I do something,

33:42

anything related to Megan, it becomes

33:45

like. Big news. Big news. Big

33:47

news and selfish family. We're making

33:49

sandwiches. Sandwiches. Sandwiches. And, you

33:51

know, then they'll push in on

33:53

my face on TikTok and they'll

33:56

be like, look at how

33:58

this emotion you felt. I honestly

34:00

didn't even remember it because we shot

34:02

it like nine months ago. I loved

34:04

my time with Megan. I'm also like,

34:07

let her promote her show and you're

34:09

talking about running. It was great and

34:11

it's really fascinating seeing. how their action.

34:13

It's a beautiful, it's a beautifully, yeah.

34:15

People love to talk. And by the

34:17

way, it's a beautifully made show, and

34:19

it's aspirational, and I loved it, and

34:22

I loved you in it. Thank you.

34:24

You've successfully created so many of your

34:26

own opportunities over and over and over

34:28

again. It's one of the things I

34:30

admire about you so much. And you've

34:32

also created things for people, other people,

34:35

off and on the screen. Are you

34:37

able to take that in and realize

34:39

the impact that you've made? Because so
