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

0:18

buying journey with Zillow's new viability tool.

0:20

0:22

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

Welcome back on

19:16

19:18

19:31

complicated relationship with

19:37

and with each other.

19:39

Take a look. Chasm

19:41

between us got wider and

19:44

wider and at a certain point.

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

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

your tight little Ivy League

20:17

ass so fast. Are you kidding

20:19

20:21

guns? What guns? That is,

20:24

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

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
