Wow, this house is cute! But can
0:04
I really get in the game in
0:06
this economy? I do have savings and
0:09
I am responsible-ish. Eh, I should bury
0:11
it. I'm being wild. But what if
0:13
I'm not being wild though? Could I
0:16
actually score a... Kick off your home

0:34
Tricks of the trade. The
0:36
president's sudden terror of turnaround
0:38
is getting wildly mixed reviews
0:40
from different sides of the
0:42
aisle. Trump won. This is the
0:44
biggest win for America because we've
0:47
got a level playing field.
0:49
There was no strategy. There was
0:51
no plan. Is this the art
0:53
of the deal? President Trump is
0:55
looking brilliant right now. Or
0:57
art of the steel. If
0:59
it's not market manipulation, what is
1:02
it? Who's benefiting? What billionaire
1:04
just got richer? Minecraft
1:07
madness. The catchphrase that's
1:09
triggering kids to cause
1:11
chaos during screenings of
1:13
the blockbuster Minecraft movie.
1:15
Olivia Munn and Amanda
1:17
Pete are telling you
1:19
why all's not good
1:22
in the hood on
1:24
their new series, your
1:26
friends and neighbors. Then,
1:28
Kit Connor and Michael
1:30
Gandalfini, talk about enlisting
1:32
in one of the
1:34
most intense depictions of
1:36
battle in movie history in
1:39
the groundbreaking new movie,
1:41
warfare. Here come hot
1:43
topics with Whoopi! Sarah
1:45
Haynes! Joy
1:49
Behar. Anna
1:51
Navarro. Sunny
1:53
Austin. And
1:56
Alyssa Sarah
1:58
Britt. Now,
2:01
let's get
2:03
things started.
2:38
It's been a whirlwind. Things been
2:40
happening like this. You hardly can't
2:42
keep up. The tariffs took another
2:45
twist yesterday with a sudden 90-day
2:47
pause on all reciprocal tariffs, except
2:49
for China. Now, markets shot up
2:51
to record levels, but are falling
2:53
again this morning. Now, the White
2:55
House is saying, this is a
2:57
brilliant strategic move that was the
2:59
plan the whole time. But it
3:01
sort of seemed to catch his
3:03
trade representative. by shock really, but
3:05
they wrote surprise, but he seems
3:07
shocked to me. During a White
3:09
House hearing, take a look. Are
3:11
you aware that the terrorists have
3:13
been paused? I am, yes. When
3:15
were you made aware of that?
3:18
Well, I understood the decision was
3:20
made a few minutes ago. Sitting
3:22
here. And under discussion. sitting here
3:24
under discussion. So did you know
3:26
that the that this was under
3:28
discussion and why did you not
3:30
include that as part of your
3:32
opening remarks? So typically what I
3:34
don't do is divulge the contents
3:36
of my discussions. I haven't spoken
3:38
to the president since I've been
3:40
here. So the trade representative hasn't
3:42
spoken to the president of the
3:44
United States about a global reordering
3:46
of trade? Yes I have. I've
3:49
just been in the hearing with
3:51
you. But yet he announced it
3:53
on a tweet? Who's
3:56
in charge? It was always the plan.
3:58
How is this not market manipulation? It's
4:00
not market manipulation, sir. Well, then what
4:03
is it? Because it sure is not
4:05
a strategy. Yeah. Well, you know. You
4:07
got to know more information when you're
4:09
sitting in front of these guys. They're
4:11
not playing on either side. When they
4:14
ask you a question, you should have
4:16
the information. And you should be forthcoming
4:18
and honest about it. Yeah, well, you
4:20
know, he wants to keep his confidence
4:23
with the precedent. Yeah. Let's give him
4:25
that. I gotta tell you, I think
4:27
what's fascinating to me is that the
4:29
corruption is just completely out in the
4:31
open at this point. You know, because
4:34
these kinds of actions, where Trump tweeted
4:36
out before this little pause, he said,
4:38
this is a great time to buy.
4:40
And that's really a whistle to those
4:42
billionaires that can, or people that have
4:45
money that can buy low and then
4:47
the stock market prices go up. That's
4:49
generally called insider trading and that would
4:51
ordinarily trigger an investigation by the Securities
4:54
and Exchange Commission. We know now that
4:56
that's not probably going to happen because
4:58
all of these government agencies have been,
5:00
you know, destroyed and dismantled, but someone
5:02
with knowledge of an economic policy... change
5:05
that would cause the market to shoot
5:07
back up right before posting about how
5:09
great a time it is to buy
5:11
right before the policy change happened would
5:14
certainly be guilty of insider trading in
5:16
my opinion. Well, let's see if somebody
5:18
brings it to a... to a court
5:20
and says, hey, what about this? I
5:22
don't know that I assigned that much
5:25
strategy to it, just to be honest.
5:27
And because people who lost money, the
5:29
wealthiest among us, even if they bought
5:31
the dip, they still have less money
5:34
today than they did before he sparked
5:36
the trade war. But they gained 70%
5:38
more. Not that where the market was.
5:40
Yeah, exactly. loudest supporters Elon Musk Bill
5:42
Ackman were basically begging for this night.
5:45
They want that money back. And I
5:47
think that what happened, sure he did
5:49
hear from world leaders, the EU came
5:51
out and openly said we need to
5:54
have some negotiations. But I think you
5:56
heard from the business community who largely
5:58
were behind him in his re-election. The
6:00
stock market had record gains after he
6:02
was elected in 2024. And then we've
6:05
lost all of those gains since he's
6:07
in the few months he's been in
6:09
office. Jamie Diamond went on Fox News
6:11
and basically encouraged that there be some
6:14
kind of a pause in just a
6:16
matter of hours later. He decided to
6:18
heed that. So I see it as
6:20
him listening to the business community that
6:22
put him in office. But what happens
6:25
in the next 90 days is critical.
6:27
China and expand relationships with our allies
6:29
or is it merely a pause and
6:31
we're in the same sort of roller
6:34
coaster when they need to use some
6:36
money into the manufacturing they're wanting to
6:38
do in this country because they're creating
6:40
one problem and saying no let's bring
6:42
it all home for the American workers
6:45
I haven't heard one plan about how
6:47
they're going to home for the American
6:49
workers I haven't heard one plan about
6:51
how they're going to build all this
6:53
manufacturing that's not even a minute in
6:56
this kind of thing, but he definitely
6:58
did not plan this. I'm in a
7:00
second, Alyssa, there was no strategy here.
7:02
What happened was he was trying to
7:05
go hard and one by one he
7:07
lost everyone. He even had people like
7:09
Orrin Cass, who's a pro-tariff economist, right?
7:11
Not bad the other day, that said,
7:13
okay, well, this could still work, but
7:16
here are some warnings, and then like
7:18
all the millionaires dropped, all the congressional
7:20
Republicans, because remember, as much as Donald
7:22
Trump talks about, I could run for
7:25
a third term. These people have to
7:27
run again. All of these senators, all
7:29
of these Congress people recognize that their
7:31
boss for the first time is not
7:33
Donald Trump. It's going to be those
7:36
voters. And when they go back to
7:38
these town halls and are getting screamed
7:40
out of the room, they're going to
7:42
have to start listening. And the cherry
7:45
on top for him was probably his
7:47
polling. We all know he loves popularity.
7:49
It took a fast dip with all
7:51
that people are feeling right now. So
7:53
kind of as those numbers all fell,
7:56
I think he saw the end was
7:58
near. Well, I would say this, look,
8:00
if you know, if they're saying that
8:02
this was all strategic, then he is
8:05
a. sadist because what kind of government
8:07
leader puts his people through this kind
8:09
of distress and sadness and anxiety for
8:11
a week just for you know just
8:13
for giggles I don't think his supporters
8:16
always say that it's you know that
8:18
he plays fourth dimensional chess I think
8:20
he should be in a padded room
8:22
playing with his own rule Because I
8:25
think he is, the things he does
8:27
are just simply lunacy. And we're, you
8:29
know, we're not out of this. We're
8:31
not out of this by any means.
8:33
Let's remember that as we sit here,
8:36
there's 10% tariffs on everything. There's 125%
8:38
tariff on China. There's reciprocal tariffs from
8:40
China. Let's not underestimate. the result of
8:42
on consumer confidence of the rack of
8:45
the havoc he has wreaked for the
8:47
last 11 weeks. We have antagonized our
8:49
allies yet again and to me this
8:51
is very much this reminds me of
8:53
what's happening with Doge as well right
8:56
where there's so many things that could
8:58
be done with a scalpel and that
9:00
people would say you know this is
9:02
a good idea but no like with
9:04
Doge they go in there with a
9:07
wrecking ball and you know just having
9:09
absolutely No second thought about the consequences
9:11
and we don't know that listen the
9:13
bottom line is I think people are
9:16
Honoring down not going to be spending
9:18
as much tourists are incoming to America
9:20
new business You know the things that
9:22
we need for our major industries are
9:24
there they have tariffs on people i
9:27
think are you know have trauma from
9:29
what we have endured these last eleven
9:31
weeks and this is not going away
9:33
because he's putting a ninety-day pause on
9:36
it well you know a ninety-day pause
9:38
doesn't mean anything to anyone because people
9:40
are, as you say, struggling with everything
9:42
they're living with on a day-to-day basis.
9:44
Now you know what we're fighting against.
9:47
But I also believe that it's very
9:49
important to remind people that now is
9:51
the time for each and every one
9:53
of us to suck it up and
9:56
make sure that we know what we
9:58
need to take care. If you're in
10:00
an area where the school district is
10:02
losing, then you've got to pay a
10:04
little more taxes and you've got to
10:07
help the schools out. If you're finding
10:09
that your libraries are falling apart, you
10:11
have to give more. This is where
10:13
we come in. We cannot depend on
10:16
them. This is us. We all thought,
10:18
oh, they're talking about somebody else. No,
10:20
they've been talking about us the whole
10:22
time. When I say us, it's all
10:24
of us. We'll be right back. Okay,

13:07
Governor Gretchen Whitmer is being criticized
13:10
by her members of her own
13:12
party for seeing you know who
13:14
in the White House yesterday to
13:17
talk about issues affecting her state.
13:19
The visit sure seemed to change
13:21
the way you know who feels
13:24
about who feels about her though.
13:26
He used to talk mad stuff
13:29
about her. Not nice either. Take
13:31
a look. We're honored to have
13:33
Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan, great state
13:36
of Michigan, and she's really done
13:38
an excellent job and a very
13:41
good person. Yeah. So
13:43
maybe he is having some sort
13:45
of crisis. Maybe he doesn't remember
13:47
that he didn't care for her.
13:49
He had some nicknames for her,
13:51
right? That woman, ugly in Michigan.
13:54
Oh, that woman. You know, I
13:56
gotta tell you, I know that
13:58
she's getting a lot of flack
14:00
from it, but as the governor
14:02
of the great state of Michigan,
14:04
she has an absolute obligation. to
14:06
show up there, do business for
14:09
the people of the state. Her
14:11
spokesperson said that while she was
14:13
at the White House to meet
14:15
with President Trump about Michigan matters,
14:17
she was surprised to have been
14:19
pulled into the Oval Office for
14:22
the executive order signing and that
14:24
her presence is not an endorsement
14:26
of the actions taken. And I
14:28
think she just got used and
14:30
played. She clearly looked uncomfortable. You
14:32
know, he tricked her. And he's
14:34
a trickster. He's a fraudster. And
14:37
you're right. She looks very unhappy.
14:39
I haven't seen anybody that unhappy
14:41
in the Oval Office. But I
14:43
think it was a very bad
14:45
time for her to be there
14:47
while these executive orders were being
14:50
signed waging an all-out attack again
14:52
on freedom of expression. These are
14:54
executive orders weaponizing the Department of
14:56
Justice to go after former employees
14:58
of Trump first term that spoke
15:00
up against him. And I, you
15:03
know, I kept saying during the
15:05
campaign that it was very ironic
15:07
to me that Trump and Republicans
15:09
were always saying... that Democrats were
15:11
communists and socialists. Look, I fled
15:13
Nicaragua. This is exactly what Daniel
15:15
Ortega is doing in Nicaragua right
15:18
now, where if anybody criticizes him,
15:20
if anybody speaks up against him,
15:22
he considers it treason to the
15:24
country and he is disappearing them
15:26
and putting them in jail. We
15:28
have got to stand up, like
15:31
Americans, as Americans, against these attacks.
15:33
against freedom of speech. Freedom of
15:35
speech defines us as a country.
15:37
We cannot allow this to happen.
15:39
What's happening against the censorship against
15:41
the press, like the AP being
15:43
banned from the Oval Office. Censorship
15:46
against protests and people being able
15:48
to protest. And now these attacks,
15:50
this is just something we cannot
15:52
put up with America. You're

16:17
back! We were talking about something and...
16:19
Don't depend on me to figure out
16:22
what it was. I remember. Tell. So
16:24
we were just talking about Governor Whitmer
16:26
and the judgment from a lot of
16:29
Democrats as to what it was a
16:31
bad look to be working with Donald
16:33
Trump and be in the Oval Office,
16:36
why these executive orders are being signed.
16:38
The conversation around this is why I
16:40
despise partisan politics. It is the dumbest
16:42
thing I've ever heard. She literally represents
16:45
Michigan. She got voted in and so
16:47
did Donald Trump. He's the president of
16:49
the United States. We're going through all
16:52
of this. She's in, she has to
16:54
work with them and deal with the
16:56
manufacturing, the stuff that affects it. A
16:59
picture is one second. We've all been
17:01
stuck in places where you can get
17:03
out. that on her face. I don't
17:06
blame her at all, but a Democratic
17:08
operative said, said to, well, and a
17:10
Democratic operative said it best. There's a
17:12
sort of. absoluteism among Democrats where you're
17:15
either all against him or you're not
17:17
against him enough. And nothing gets done
17:19
in that vein. She has to do
17:22
this. She had to be there. I
17:24
think discussing a picture and whether she
17:26
was there or not is, we talk
17:29
about Donald Trump flooding the zone because
17:31
it's a distraction to what's going on.
17:33
The conversations around this picture are a
17:36
distraction from what's going on. There are
17:38
more important things. When you look at
17:40
her face, it's like, it's like Homer
17:43
Simpson disappearing into the book. in the
17:45
bushes and treats. But I think that's
17:47
the way. I tend to agree. I
17:49
was watching it live. He was signing
17:52
an EO that's very specific to waterways
17:54
in Michigan and a certain endangered species
17:56
that was like impact. the community. It
17:59
was a very specific Michiganer thing. And
18:01
to your point, he won Michigan, she
18:03
won Michigan. They're going to have to
18:06
find where they can work together. Really
18:08
quickly, I want to mention the Miles
18:10
Taylor and Chris Krebsios. Chris Krebs is
18:13
a personal friend of mine. I would
18:15
strongly encourage someone around the president to
18:17
talk him into walking the executive orders
18:20
of the kind of things. Krebs is
18:22
being penalized because he said that the
18:24
2020 election was safe and fair while
18:26
overseeing our cyber security infrastructure. He worked
18:29
for Donald Trump. He put in reforms
18:31
that allowed Donald Trump to safely be
18:33
reelected in 2024 when he won. And
18:35
this to me is just not what
18:37
people elected him to do. He is
18:39
a good public servant. He's not somebody
18:41
who goes out of his way to
18:44
antagonize Donald Trump and I just think
18:46
it's a... and by the way everyone
18:48
dissent is not unlawful yeah well I
18:50
just don't understand it's American you
18:52
know I don't understand I
18:55
don't understand when when
18:57
the first amendment disappeared
18:59
yeah and this is also
19:01
on us every time we don't say
19:03
hey you can't do that they do
19:05
more yeah you've got to speak up
19:08
you've got to make your voice
19:10
is heard we've got to do
19:12
this it's up to us
19:14

Take a look. Chasm
19:41
between us got wider and

19:46
There was nothing I could do.
19:48
So you've one of his best
19:51
friends? I'm sorry. Wow! I'm sorry.
19:53

19:57
just now? What? Oh my God,
19:59
that's... This is so cute
20:01
that that's what you
20:04
think happened. That's really
20:06
delusional. If they hadn't
20:08
stopped here, I would have pushed
20:10
you right through the wall.
20:12
You're so crazy. I could kick
20:14

20:17
ass so fast. Are you kidding
20:19

20:21
guns? What guns? That is,

Feel it. Feel like an
20:28
episode of the mew. Please
20:30
welcome Olivia Mon and Amanda
20:33
Peep. Welcome,
21:00
welcome. It's so fun to be here.
21:03
Hi, you guys. Welcome to the show.
21:05
I do miss that, that joy is
21:07
not here. On the other hand, somewhat!
21:10
Well, we have to say that
21:12
this show, that clip, by the
21:14
way, is hilarious. It's already been
21:16
renewed for a second season in
21:18
your show. And it's about a
21:20
rich hedge fund manager played by
21:22
John Hamm, that tracks, who loses
21:24
his job in turns to robbing
21:26
his wealthy neighbors. Tell us who
21:28
you play, each of you, more
21:30
importantly, which one of you would
21:33
win in a real fight? Still
21:35
her. Okay. Right? Right? You know it would
21:37
be me. Yeah, my money was on Olivia,
21:39
to be honest. Really? I believe you. I'm
21:41
just completely wrong. Thank you. I know, I
21:44
just rolled over. But you know, she was
21:46
the one, it was day one of us
21:48
filming together, I get a text from Amanda,
21:51
she goes, can you come to my trailer?
21:53
Yeah, she's like, so we had this scene in
21:55
there that that our creator had written. So it
21:57
was so beautiful and so fun. And she was
21:59
like, um, Can we fight even harder?
22:01
And I was like, what do
22:03
you mean? And she tells me
22:05
the story about, like, not that
22:07
long before she was on the
22:09
beach with one of her friends
22:11
drunk. And she was like, and
22:13
then we start fighting. And I
22:15
was like, what are you talking
22:18
about? It doesn't sound right when
22:20
she sits in me. Yes, we
22:22
were, we, I had been over-served.
22:24
And my friends had to, my
22:26
friend has two sons two sons
22:28
who do Taekwondo, which is what
22:30
I, what I, okay. and I
22:32
never knew her to be an
22:34
athlete, so I was like, I
22:36
can take her down. Boy was
22:38
I wrong. So you throw down
22:40
in scripts and in real life.
22:42
Well, only when I've been over-served.
22:44
Well, what do you guys each
22:46
play? So I play Sam. She
22:48
is the only one in this
22:50
whole world that isn't born into
22:52
wealth. My character has a blue
22:54
collar background. She married into this
22:56
world, and you meet her when
22:58
she is in the... on the
23:00
precipice of losing everything. Her life
23:02
is crumbling. John Hamm's life is
23:04
crumbling. We're both in the middle
23:06
of horrible divorces and a super
23:09
sexy affair. A super sexy secret
23:11
affair because where our characters are
23:13
friends and it's her ex-husband. You
23:15
know, when you were pointing, I
23:17
thought, oh, okay, that's going to
23:19
get interesting. I thought you were
23:21
pointing at each other. It was
23:23
a super sexy affair. I thought
23:25
it was season two. Yeah, don't
23:27
rule it out. Anything. Sure. Who
23:29
knows? Well, you both have a
23:31
lot of steamy sex scenes. I'm
23:33
going to describe it like that
23:35
in the show. But you say
23:37
you were both excited to see
23:39
that for your characters in the
23:41
script. Yeah, well I think I
23:43
was excited when I read the
23:45
script that I feel like a
23:47
lot of the middle-aged divorcees We
23:49
see on TV are home on
23:51
Saturday night and with their glass
23:53
of shardene on the couch You
23:55
know lamenting the fact that they're
23:57
not dating anyone and so I
24:00
was really excited that my character
24:02
is having like the best Yeah,
24:04
former NBA player and just caught
24:06
between, you know, the coop and
24:08
this other boyfriend of mine, like
24:10
it was just exciting. Yeah. Well,
24:12
Olivia, I heard your husband though,
24:14
John Malaney, didn't want to know
24:16
any details of your scenes with
24:18
John Hamm. And is that true?
24:20
Is he the jealous type because
24:22
I am? Yes. I don't know,
24:24
this is the first time that...
24:26
Like either one of us has
24:28
experience, like he's never, I've never
24:30
been working when I've been with
24:32
him. So I don't, I don't
24:34
think he's the jealous type. Yeah.
24:36
But I think when you say
24:38
like, I'm gonna go have sex
24:40
with John Hamm today. I don't
24:42
think it, I think he kind
24:44
of like your husband wants to
24:46
hear it. Yeah, yeah. And so,
24:49
but he was very cool about
24:51
it. He loves John and he
24:53
loves John and John and him
24:55
go way back. So it was,
24:57
it was, it was, it was,
24:59
it was all good. I was
25:01
less excited, I would say, about
25:03
the sex scenes at first just
25:05
because I was so nervous because
25:07
it would be the first time
25:09
I would be doing a sex
25:11
scene since having like five surgeries
25:13
from cancer. So I was so
25:15
nervous about it. And then I
25:17
ended up really finding something so
25:19
beautiful in it. Like I realized
25:21
actually that I was so much
25:23
more comfortable with my body now
25:25
than I was before all the
25:27
surgeries. I just, I realized that
25:29
I look at my body differently
25:31
now. Like I'm like, oh. Because
25:33
before I would think about things
25:35
like, oh, that's not perfect or
25:37
it looks like this and now
25:40
I look at the scars on
25:42
my body and I'm like, oh,
25:44
that's exactly what they should look
25:46
like. And that's why I'm here.
25:48
Yeah. Yeah. That's why I'm still
25:50
here. How are you doing? I'm
25:52
doing good. Doing good. Thanks for
25:54
asking. Oh, I got a question.
25:56
Olivia. Yes. You and John got
25:58
married over the 4th of July
26:00
weekend last year. That's right. officiated
26:02
your ceremony. You know, yeah, who
26:04
does it? Yeah, who doesn't? For
26:06
Emma. Yeah. How was that and
26:08
how did it come about? So
26:10
Sam and I worked together on
26:12
the newsroom and he had said
26:14
to me once, there he is.
26:16
He said to me once, just
26:18
you know, hey, if you ever
26:20
get married, I want to be
26:22
the one to marry you. And
26:24
I just emailed him and said,
26:26
hey, remember that thing you said
26:29
like a decade ago? It's coming
26:31
to fruition. And so he was
26:33
so sweet and lovely and it
26:35
was just. him and his wife
26:37
and our son Malcolm and you
26:39
know I we had a our
26:41
surrogate was carrying our little daughter
26:43
for us and she wasn't born
26:45
yet and I was really sad
26:47
that she wouldn't be there in
26:49
the photos and stuff but John
26:51
found a little Antique Lockett and
26:53
he took her sonogram photo and
26:55
he put it in there And
26:57
so then we had it we
26:59
had it we had her with
27:01
us on the day He's a
27:03
keeper. Yeah, he's really sweet. Yeah,
27:05
I'm so excited about this series
27:07
I love yeah, I love a
27:09
suburban drama But Amanda you have
27:11
three kids including two teenage daughters,
27:13
and I understand you would like
27:15
to be a cool mom, but
27:17
may not be succeeding She's really
27:20
the coolest, the nicest, the nicest,
27:22
she's the best dressed, and I
27:24
don't know why her teenage daughter
27:26
doesn't know it yet. Because they're
27:28
teenage daughters. But they do grow
27:30
out of it. Look, that's mine.
27:32
Yeah, yeah. Oh hey! They figure
27:34
it out. Yeah. Yeah. They figure
27:36
it out. And then they become
27:38
your best friend. Yeah. And then
27:40
they don't leave you. I can't
27:42
wait. That did happen with my
27:44
mom. But yeah, they don't, they
27:46
don't, they don't, they don't watch
27:48
anything that I've ever been in.
27:50
So finally I was like, you
27:52
know, I think that something's got
27:54
to give is the one that
27:56
I can show them because it's
27:58
a beautiful romantic comedy. It's Diane
28:00
Keaton, my idol, and it's pretty
28:02
and it's pretty and it's light
28:04
and I'm not actually nude in
28:06
it. But they saw the first
28:09
five minutes when I'm coupled with...
28:11
Jack Nicholson. Yeah. And they were
28:13
like, this is so inappropriate. And
28:15
unethical. And do you know anything
28:17
about third wave feminism? Why did
28:19
you take this part? Oh, my
28:21
goodness. So they turned it off.
28:23
You're raising good girls. You know
28:25
what? They will come back. They
28:27
will come back because you are
28:29
way too cool. to not be
28:31
a cold. Exactly. You are the
28:33
coolest. And Olivia, you actually named
28:35
Time Magazine, one of Time Magazine's
28:37
Women of the Year for using
28:39
your platform to raise awareness for
28:41
breast cancer as a survivor. What's
28:43
the number one piece of advice
28:45
you want to give women that
28:47
you learned from your story? I
28:49
had a clear mammogram, clear ultrasound,
28:51
clear genetic testing, so I don't
28:53
have BRC, and my doctor did
28:55
this thing called the Lifetime Risk
28:57
Assessment Test. And it's a free
29:00
online test. You don't have to
29:02
sign up or put your email
29:04
in. You just, it's online. You
29:06
take, you answer a series of
29:08
questions and it gives you a
29:10
score. That score is your likelihood
29:12
of getting breast cancer in your
29:14
lifetime. Anything above 20% is considered
29:16
high risk. I was 37. She
29:18
sent me off to get an
29:20
MRI. I remember the radiologist was
29:22
like, why are you here? Do
29:24
you have BRC? And he said,
29:26
no. He said, you have a
29:28
clear mammograph? He said, all right,
29:30
well, let's do this. And then
29:32
they called later that day and
29:34
I had a multifocal, multi quadrant
29:36
bilateral breast cancer, stage one. Oh
29:38
my goodness. So I want on
29:40
our whips. Yeah. Like we just
29:42
put that for a moment. There
29:44
is. There's a lot of different
29:46
ones out there. Breast cancer risk
29:48
assessment test. I actually link it
29:51
in my yeah, I link it
29:53
in my IG just in my
29:55
bio right there So it's if
29:57
that's the one we'll do this.

33:08
Kit Connor and Michael Gandalfini.
33:29
So this is very intense
33:31
and and my biggest question is
33:33
what makes this movie different
33:35
than all the other war films
33:38
because it is I want
33:40
to know why you think
33:42
so. Yeah look at the it
33:44
started with the intention right
33:46
so the the intention was for
33:49
Elliot Miller played by Cosmo
33:51
Jarvis in the movie he
33:53
was injured and he doesn't remember
33:55
the event so Ray, our
33:57
director, co-director with Alex Garland. He.
33:59
wanted to create something that
34:01
he could show to Elliot and his
34:03
family could watch it so he could
34:06
really understand what happened to him. So-
34:08
Because it's based on a true story.
34:10
Yeah, yeah, yeah, completely. And so our
34:12
whole process was sort of inner, you
34:14
know, Alex and Ray, they interviewed all
34:17
the guys and they would have everything
34:19
in the movie happened and it had
34:21
to be cooperated by other. members there
34:23
so so so there's no dramatization of
34:25
anything right so you know there's there's
34:28
no score in it and the reason
34:30
there's no scores because there's no music
34:32
playing in life right so like things
34:34
like that and so it was just
34:36
it was the the idea from the
34:38
creation and then the just sort of
34:41
rigorous integrity of truth yeah it's because
34:43
it's It's no joke. It's no joke.
34:45
Yeah. Echoing that this was so powerful.
34:47
So bravo to you guys and your
34:49
entire team for pulling this off because
34:52
it was such a visceral experience. I've
34:54
never served in the military. I've never
34:56
known other than my. My dad, but it's
34:58
been a minute. To watch this kind
35:00
of warfare really makes you grasp the
35:02
decisions being made about people going into
35:04
these places. But Michael, when you watch
35:07
this movie, you do feel like you're
35:09
kind of immersed in there. And I
35:11
understand you guys did a Navy SEAL
35:13
boot camp. together. But no joke. That
35:15
is no joke. And the first night
35:17
you all shaved each other's heads. So
35:19
why did you do that? And what
35:21
did you learn during this time? Oh
35:23
yeah. I took that one. Yeah, I
35:26
took that picture. Yeah, I mean I
35:28
think the the shaving of the heads
35:30
was kind of like a, you know,
35:32
stripping back of everything. It was stripping
35:35
back of like egos. Everyone left their
35:37
egos at the door. The idea was
35:39
to approach it in a way that
35:42
was... anti-Hollywood, you know, to try and
35:44
make it as, as you say, like
35:46
no glorification, no dramatization. Yeah, and the
35:49
boot camp was just three, three and
35:51
a half weeks of, you know, training,
35:53
physical training. But the real thing was
35:56
the bond. Again, that's kind of the,
35:58
a testament to that. It was
36:00
just I think if you watch
36:02
the film you can see We
36:05
don't try too hard, but I
36:07
think you can see the love
36:09
between these guys. And that was
36:11
kind of forged in the boot
36:13
cap. Okay, I have to say
36:16
I loved you and Romeo and
36:18
Julia. I was at opening night
36:20
and you were just phenomenal. But
36:22
this is a masterful piece. And
36:24
as you mentioned, the films directors,
36:27
Alex and Ray, spoke with every
36:29
member of the platoon because they
36:31
wanted to reconstruct this story. And
36:33
I understand that you had veterans
36:35
on set while you were filming.
36:38
So what was that like to
36:40
have to have them there as
36:42
you kind of reliving to have
36:44
them there as you kind of
36:46
reliving their kind of reliving their
36:49
footsteps? I mean, it's, you know,
36:51
from an acting perspective, it's kind
36:53
of like the dream. You know,
36:55
you have a direct source of,
36:57
you know, authenticity in a way.
37:00
I got to talk to the
37:02
guy that I was portraying and
37:04
having Ray being a, you know,
37:06
co-writer, co-director, he was able to
37:08
give us every piece of information
37:11
we could ever ask for. And
37:13
again, just try and keep that
37:15
authenticity. And it sort of up
37:17
the level of responsibility too, you
37:19
know, it's sort of like added
37:22
this real sort of... Really just
37:24
the response it was why we
37:26
were doing this was always right
37:28
there You know, so that was
37:30
I think really an unbelievable opportunity
37:33
experienced You both have said that
37:35
after making the movie the cast
37:37
is bonded for life You all
37:39
got matching tattoos To cement that
37:41
you would be in each other's
37:44
lives forever. So how did this
37:46
experience? Change you both and what
37:48
do the tattoos say? And where
37:50
are they located? Mine, his is
37:52
right there, says call on me.
37:55
I thought it would chill on
37:57
me. I mean, you know, you
37:59
can call on me either. It's
38:01
a reference to the beginning of
38:03
the film. Yeah, yeah. And it
38:06
also was like, you know, we've
38:08
left this experience having, you know,
38:10
a group of... 12, 13 brothers
38:12
that whenever we need anyone, we
38:14
can call them and sort of
38:17
always be there. So, yeah. Oh,
38:19
look a great pass. That's such
38:21
a great, great. That is great.
38:23
The hair of her back, I
38:25
see. Yeah, that is great. But
38:28
I first came to know you
38:30
from Heartstoppers. I was, I am
38:32
a huge fan of that. And
38:34
I know, Lisa just mentioned, you
38:36
made your Broadway debut in Romeo
38:39
and Juliet. You and Rachel Ziegler
38:41
got rave reviews for the production
38:43
and the audience, every night was
38:45
full of young people. What was
38:47
that experience like for? It was
38:50
amazing, you know, it was great
38:52
to be out here for six
38:54
months. It was like a kind
38:56
of dream for me as a
38:58
person as well, and it was
39:01
just a bunch of lovely people
39:03
doing Shakespeare, you know. And again,
39:05
to have that many young people.
39:07
in a Broadway audience is so
39:10
rare and so exciting and getting
39:12
to introduce all these people to
39:14
Shakespeare is a major privilege. So
39:16
yeah it was really cool. That's
39:18
awesome. Well and Michael you've been
39:21
busy too. We most recently saw
39:23
you starring in the new series
39:25
Daredevil Born Again on Disney Plus
39:27
that came out last month. Now
39:29
you film that right on the
39:32
streets of New York. What was
39:34
that like and anything you can
39:36
share about season two? I mean
39:38
it's it's amazing like to actually
39:40
get to like go into the
39:43
streets and like shoot and look
39:45
at the skyline and have the
39:47
real whatever that steam that comes
39:49
out of the ground. Not being
39:51
someone holding a smoke machine like
39:54
it just you feel the energy
39:56
and the excitement so it's like
39:58
we're so lucky we get to
40:00
shoot it here and I get
40:02
to stay home and shoot it
40:05
and season two yeah it's we're
40:07
doing that and it's We can't
40:09
let you leave Michael without mentioning
40:11
that your father is the incredible
40:13
James Gandalfini who passed away in
40:16
2017. The Soprano is one of
40:18
my favorite series of all times.
40:20
He made Tony Sopraim. Toronto, one
40:22
of the most iconic characters, right?
40:24
You played a younger Tony in
40:27
the 2021 prequel movie, The Many
40:29
Saints of Newark, and Kit, you
40:31
had never seen the Soponos. I
40:33
know I hadn't. Before you met
40:35
Michael, and I heard that you
40:38
recently started watching it. What do
40:40
you think? I think it's one
40:42
of the best pieces of, you
40:44
know, media ever. I wanted to
40:46
watch it so that I could
40:49
see many saints and understand what
40:51
was going on going on. I
40:53
started enjoying it for, you know,
40:55
I kind of forgot about the
40:57
wedding. It's binge worthy, it is
41:00
worth it. Yeah, it's a great
41:02
go-to. Yeah, I'm re-watching it right
41:04
now. Yeah, it's extraordinary. It was,
41:06
the writing is great, the acting
41:08
is great, everybody is great. I'm
41:11
still taking apart that last scene.
41:13
Yeah, yeah, you're never gonna get
41:15
the answer. Yeah. Thanks to Kid
