The former White House press secretary, Carrie Brady,
0:59
rose to NFL legend and seven times
1:01
Super Bowl winner, Tom Brady, gets
1:03
hit by an A-list blitz at
1:05
a roast where nothing was out
1:07
of bounds. You have seven rings.
1:09
Well, eight. Now that Giselle gave
1:11
hers back, but... Then,
1:14
former White House press secretary, Jen
1:16
Psaki, is alive with her view
1:19
of whether her former boss, President
1:21
Biden, is sending the right messages
1:23
about the biggest issues that'll get
1:26
voters to the polls. Plus,
1:28
an all-new View Your
1:31
Deal. Here
1:34
come hot topics with
1:37
Whoopi, Sarah
1:40
Haynes, Anna
1:43
Navarro, Joy
1:46
Behar, Sunny
1:48
Hostin, and
1:50
Alyssa Farrah Griffin. Now,
1:54
let's get things started. rise
2:33
we are very happy to see you all very
2:35
happy to see you and we're gonna
2:37
tell you what's been going on in case you
2:39
missed it governor Kristi
2:42
Nome the
2:44
dog shooter spent
2:46
last week defending claims in
2:49
her upcoming book that she shot
2:51
and killed her puppy and yesterday
2:53
there were even more plot twists
2:56
when she appeared on Face the
2:58
Nation with Margaret Brennan take
3:00
a look did you meet
3:02
Kim Jong-un well you know as soon
3:04
as this was brought to my attention I certainly
3:08
made some changes and looked at this
3:10
this passage and I've met with many
3:12
many world leaders I've traveled around the
3:14
world as soon as it was brought
3:17
to my attention we went forward and
3:19
have made some edits so you did not
3:21
meet with Kim Jong-un that's what you're saying
3:23
I'm not going to talk about my specific
3:25
meetings with world leaders I'm just not going
3:27
to do that this anecdote shouldn't have been
3:29
in the book and as soon as it
3:31
was brought to my attention I made
3:33
sure that that was adjusted you made the
3:35
point to bring him up twice and
3:38
that he was a little tyrant you have
3:40
a quick infirmary Margaret yes I do South
3:43
Korea is a treaty ally North Korea
3:45
is a nuclear armed adversary so that's
3:47
a pretty low big thing to confuse
4:00
governors claiming that she's the
4:02
victim of a
4:04
lying, mainstream media
4:06
that's always twisting and
4:09
manipulating the truth. Now
4:12
you wrote the book. Right.
4:15
So are you manipulating and twisting
4:17
yourself? What is, I don't understand what she
4:19
said. When we think it was brought to
4:21
her attention, I'm like, did you not read
4:24
your book? Yes, like I don't understand why
4:26
that needed to happen, but the other thing
4:28
is, she talked about how the reason
4:30
she used that is to show you, you know, she
4:32
can do really hard things. Awful
4:36
things, but then she said that if she were
4:38
in the White House, she'd shoot
4:40
President Biden's dog too. So after a
4:42
week of saying, gosh, people really came
4:49
for me on this, she doubled down.
4:51
And like, there's a saying, like once you've found
4:53
you've dug yourself into a hole, just stop
4:55
digging and don't bury the dog there. Does
4:59
she not realize that the
5:02
dog probably wouldn't be there when
5:04
she gets there? I think she wants, I
5:06
don't, Biden also beholds the dog. I mean,
5:08
she's not getting there, but I think she
5:11
was also missing the
5:13
point that the Bidens did the right thing
5:15
because they did have a dog that was biting
5:17
certain secret service members and just, it wasn't
5:19
the White House. It's a very busy place. It
5:21
wasn't a good place for the dog. So they
5:23
rehomed their dog. They didn't shoot their dog. So
5:27
that's one thing. The
5:29
other thing that I thought that she was a
5:31
victim of was really good journalists because
5:33
she was, her feet were held to the
5:35
fire and that's what journalists do. So yes,
5:37
you're gonna get a follow up if you're
5:40
dodging, if you're filibustering, you're gonna get the
5:42
follow up. Who did you mean? Which Korea,
5:44
South or North? And she didn't seem to
5:46
be able to answer that either. I mean,
5:48
what's so, Margaret Brennan does not play. Like
5:50
why she even thought this was a good
5:53
idea was bizarre to me, but it's, she
5:55
comes off unhinged at this point, Kristina, because
5:57
on top of this, her saying
5:59
she would kill committed. and the White House, she
6:01
then says, say hello to Cricket for me.
6:03
Cricket is her dog that she put down.
6:05
How cruel is that? But also, the North
6:07
Korea lie is just so easily provable. We
6:09
don't have diplomatic relations with North Korea. It
6:11
was a breaking of historic norms when President
6:13
Trump met with him. There would be so
6:16
much documentation of this meeting. There would be
6:18
so much press of this meeting.
6:20
There'd be press around it, and she thought she
6:22
was just gonna be able to get away and
6:24
lie about it. I just, you know, this Cruella
6:26
Denome keeps digging herself
6:28
into a bigger and bigger hole. And I
6:30
was just, you know, I look,
6:32
first of all, why do people write books like
6:34
this? Because she's auditioning, she's hoping to be Vice
6:36
President, so she's trying to get her bio out
6:38
there. That's also probably why she got new
6:41
fake teeth for free in
6:43
Texas. But she's
6:45
putting this out there to
6:48
make herself more sellable as
6:50
a Vice President. And I
6:52
don't understand how in the
6:54
world you confuse meeting Kim Jong Un
6:57
with what? I mean, does she think
6:59
all Koreans look alike? Did she watch
7:01
a video of Psy singing Gangnam Time
7:03
and think it was Kim
7:05
Jong Un? I don't understand how you
7:07
make that kind of stupid lie.
7:10
She also said after that, which I don't have
7:12
the exact line, she said, I knew how to
7:14
handle him because I used to be a youth
7:16
pastor. That was some time to unpack. Wait,
7:19
what? That was very short. This is what kind of
7:21
church were you at? She's a
7:24
dictator of a nuclear army. She's
7:26
in the church of Latter-day Life.
7:28
Yeah, that's exactly right.
7:31
Latter-day Life. You know
7:33
what, and I think you're right,
7:35
Anna, I think the reason that she's doing all of
7:37
this is because she wants to be the Vice Presidential
7:39
pick. What's interesting is she gave
7:41
a 30-minute speech at Mar-a-Lago, was it?
7:43
Just this weekend at sort of almost
7:45
like a, I don't know, an auditioning
7:47
show for Vice President. And she
7:50
wasn't in any of the pictures. And
7:52
it's been reported, as I predicted, that even Donald Trump
7:54
thinks it's weird that she killed her puppy. When Donald
7:56
Trump, it's like, ooh, that's not really palatable. You might've
7:58
gone a bridge too far. He brought all
8:00
of his guests on stage except for the puppy
8:02
killer. I think we have that picture, right, of
8:05
all the guests? Yeah. So,
8:07
the guy, you guys, so I had to enlarge this
8:11
and look at this real close. The guy
8:13
at the far end of the stage is
8:15
Blago. Is Blago.
8:18
That convicted felon for one Democratic
8:20
governor from Illinois who tried to
8:22
sell. Why is he there? Barack
8:24
Obama's senate seat and that's why
8:27
he went to jail. Oh
8:29
my gosh. Is he part of the audition? I
8:32
mean, that's like really hitting the bottom
8:34
of the barrel. I thought maybe he
8:36
was there to teach, you know like that Kevin Hart
8:38
movie, to teach Will Ferrell
8:40
how to be in prison. I thought
8:42
maybe that was Blago's role there.
8:44
Well, there's more, you know, there's
8:47
another Republican vice presidential hopeful, Senator
8:50
Tim Scott, who seems
8:52
to be echoing you know whose script
8:55
about election results. Take a look. Senator,
8:57
will you commit to accepting the election
8:59
results of 2024, bottom line? At
9:04
the end of the day, the
9:06
47th president of the United States will be president
9:08
Donald Trump. Yes or no, will you accept
9:10
the election results of 2024 no
9:13
matter who wins? That
9:16
is my statement. Just
9:19
yes or no. Will you accept the election results of 2024?
9:23
I look forward to President Trump being the
9:25
47th president. And Kristen, you could ask him
9:28
multiple times. Senator, just a yes or no
9:30
answer. So the American people, the
9:32
American people will make the decision. But I
9:34
don't hear you committing. For President Trump, that's
9:36
a clear. She looks stunned.
9:39
She looks stunned by his, I
9:41
mean, you know what I kept on thinking would be, what
9:44
does that make you if you are
9:47
groveling to a man who is morally
9:49
bankrupt? Like he's groveling for that position
9:51
to a man who is morally Bankrupt
9:54
with no moral compass. And You can't answer the
9:56
question that, no, I would uphold the Constitution. Well,
9:59
I Don't know why. The struggle to much it's
10:01
not the party of consistency right now. He
10:03
could just say sure, Yeah, I mean we're
10:05
not. I'm not. I do it. Why that's
10:07
I'm Brandy the zebra makes right now feel
10:09
like the apprentice. But to prove how does
10:11
the unprincipled and willing to grovel you are?
10:13
But what makes me sad as. He.
10:15
Is a fairly young person, at least the phonic fairly
10:17
young Chrissy Know do they realize that there's going to
10:19
be a world in which Donald Trump is not the
10:22
center of the Republican universe and you could just stand
10:24
by your principles and wait it out for you can
10:26
say things you believe in a not have to do
10:28
not hold faith library for get a job. As
10:34
Donald Trump has done, he's really
10:36
done such harm long term harm
10:39
to the Republican party because he's
10:41
ruined this entire class of younger.
10:43
Republic is I mean Tim Scott.
10:45
I I. I also feel like vicarious embarrassment
10:48
for him. I do it because I think
10:50
he was a guy who had such potential
10:52
and to see him lower himself to this
10:54
level. Frankly, he should have just said look,
10:56
I'm to up under one roof and kill
10:58
dogs. Leave me
11:00
alone. but if you're capable of getting to
11:03
this level, it was always in you so
11:05
I don't know I ruined them or he
11:07
brought it out of them. And maybe it's
11:09
better than rolling kind of set aside. Yep
11:11
and let a new group com India will.
11:13
Everybody's when complain there hasn't. Been enough information
11:15
out there are. I guess we'll
11:17
get lots of information now you
11:19
know? But it's so sad. you
11:21
know cause as you write a
11:23
book. You. Say what you
11:25
say and then you don't read
11:27
your book. When she had to
11:29
return to see See Rider, oh
11:32
well, maybe that so no Sudan.
11:34
Ah listen, this all
11:37
parties become just the
11:39
party of of snowflakes.
11:42
As he said, you.
11:44
Don't believe in anything. Nothing is okay.
11:46
There's no possibility of things getting better.
11:48
This is it possible that it seems
11:50
to be the belief system. Now that
11:52

15:08
back. So,
15:14
apparently the stars came out
15:17
last night to roast legendary
15:19
seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom
15:21
Brady on Netflix. Take
15:23
a look. A man who has
15:25
so many rings he could melt them down
15:27
and forge a sword to go on a
15:29
quest to get Giselle back from that two-jitsu
15:32
teacher. I hate
15:34
karate craft today. It's just been
15:36
a white belt. She's still a white
15:38
belt. Five-time Super Bowl
15:41
MVP. Most career wins.
15:44
Most career takes place. You have
15:46
seven rings. Well, eight now that
15:49
Giselle gave her back. It's hard for me to
15:51
watch people roast you, but I think
15:53
enough of my family members have helped defend
15:56
former football players. He
16:00
was a good sport. Could
16:05
you find a way to laugh at personal
16:07
matters like that? Well,
16:10
if I were getting paid, what he
16:12
was probably getting paid, he was an executive producer.
16:14
I'd laugh at all sorts of things, but I
16:16
think the person who wasn't getting paid and
16:19
ended up being part of this rose was
16:21
Gissel. Yeah. And I think that's a really
16:23
kind of bad, lame thing to
16:25
do to your ex-wife and mother of
16:28
your children. And I saw
16:30
particularly back, Gissel lives in Miami, right?
16:32
She lives in Surfside in
16:34
South Florida. And just the other day, she
16:36
got stopped because of a traffic
16:38
issue because she was running away from paparazzi. And she
16:41
broke down. I think we have the video. Don't
16:44
be too sexy. She's a little lucky. I
16:46
didn't believe my life. I
16:48
can't prevent them from doing their job,
16:50
which is to take pictures. She
16:53
wants to live her life. She's got
16:55
a new cookbook. She's out there right
16:57
now trying to raise funds for Rio
16:59
Grande Dusul in Brazil, which is where
17:02
over 75 people have died recently from
17:04
floods. Leave Gissel the hell alone. Go
17:06
make your money out there. Really, I
17:09
thought that was really catchy. I have
17:11
like a pretty high bar for like, I like
17:13
a roast. This bordered on me. And my mom texted,
17:15
and was like, are you watching this? And I was
17:18
at night tuned in. And I think we have a
17:20
clip. The crowd booed Kim Kardashian. Sorry.
17:32
What did she say? This was before she said anything. Just when
17:34
she went up. So I was like, is it a crowd of,
17:36
is it a crowd of, what's going on? But
17:38
it's all a little verging on me and
17:40
spirited. Roasts are so extreme. If you're inviting
17:42
me to roast, there better be meat involved
17:44
because I don't do this thing. I
17:47
would be fetal in the corner for someone else. Not
17:49
even myself. Me too. It's so
17:51
uncomfortable. I want to laugh when everyone in the room
17:53
is kind of throwing their head back and laughing. That's
17:55
someone's expense. And Giselle came to mind a lot for
17:57
me because I thought they're going through all this. was
18:00
just here at her show and to hear
18:02
those jokes about you, she's
18:04
gonna hear them, you can't dodge it.
18:06
In Spanish and in Portuguese, she's Portuguese,
18:08
she's Brazilian, there's not even a word
18:10
for roast. The only things we roast
18:13
are pigs and racks of
18:15
lamb. I knew I liked you. I know,
18:17
I gotta agree. I love
18:19
comedy and I like to laugh, but
18:21
not at people's expense. I don't know,
18:24
for me that makes me uncomfortable. Teasing
18:27
is fine, you play the dozens with your
18:29
friends and stuff like that. It
18:32
felt mean, it felt mean. I
18:35
think if you agree to executive produce your own roast
18:37
and you're making money from it and you agree to
18:40
it, that's one thing, but it is another thing. He
18:42
should give the audience. He should give the audience. You
18:44
know the divorce now, but he should give Giselle the
18:46
half. Yeah. Well, and we should say, I
18:48
don't know that Tom Brady would have known there were Giselle jokes
18:50
because I think it was made at his expense, but I see
18:52
the point that it's like, she was the butt of a lot
18:54
of the jokes and not the one big thing. Even people in
18:56
the audience. Robert Craft was the owner
18:58
of the Patriots, was some of
19:01
the jokes. He got up at some
19:03
point, Tom Brady, to tell the Roastmaster
19:05
to knock it off when it came
19:07
to Robert Craft. So he wanted to
19:09
be knocked off when it comes to Robert Craft,
19:11
but not to Giselle? Yeah.
19:14
No me gusta. I didn't like
19:16
it. We'll be right back. Mm-hmm.
19:19
Okay. Yes!
19:28
Welcome back. Jen Psaki has been
19:30
very busy since Stefan Downes, President
19:32
Biden's press secretary, hosting her own
19:35
show on Amazon, BC, and now
19:37
helping readers find their
19:39
own voice in her new
19:41
book, Say More. Lessons from
19:43
work, the White House, and
19:46
the world. Please welcome to the
19:48
Hot Topics table, Jen Psaki! Oh!
19:51
Thank you! I'm
19:54
so excited to be here. I just like love
19:56
the vow of the video. It's these
19:58
amazing ladies who are- We're talking about big
20:00
issues. It's great to be here. Thank you. It's wonderful
20:02
to have you. Yeah, you can give her that. Yeah. Yeah.
20:06
So we got so much to ask you about, but first
20:08
I wanted to know, as someone who's had
20:10
cleaned up a whole lot of political
20:12
mess. Oh, I have to feel. Over,
20:14
you know, in your career, have you
20:16
ever seen anything as bizarre
20:19
as Kristi Nome? Come on. Well,
20:21
would be, I've never worked for somebody who's shot their
20:24
puppy in the face. Okay. So I'll
20:26
start there. I've also never worked for somebody
20:28
who's lied about a foreign leader they've met
20:30
with. And Alyssa made this point. This is
20:32
so true. Meeting with Kim Jong
20:34
Un, there are a handful of people
20:36
who have ever done this. It's very
20:38
knowable. And also, Sarah, you made this point.
20:40
I'm just echoing all of you here.
20:43
I just wrote a book. You write your book. We'll
20:45
be just writing a book. The book's coming out tomorrow,
20:48
same day. Congratulations. It's great. I've been
20:50
reading it. But you
20:52
read the book a thousand times. So many times.
20:55
You read it out loud. When you're doing the
20:57
audio book, you think, oh, you
20:59
need a comma there. That weird word is strange.
21:01
When she said, and I met with Kim Jong
21:03
Un, did she say, think to herself, I
21:05
didn't meet with Kim Jong Un. So
21:08
to me, I've done lots of cleanup. Alyssa's done
21:10
lots of cleanup. Not quite this kind of cleanup.
21:13
Maybe she read it to herself and said, psych.
21:16
Right? Just for us to say. Jen,
21:19
I wanna ask you, cause you've been obviously
21:21
covering Trump's Hush Money trial for MSNBC. And
21:23
I didn't realize this. You and I both know Hope Hicks.
21:26
And so she had this kind of block. You
21:28
probably know her better than I do. Yes, and in a
21:30
different capacity than you do. But her testimony was pretty
21:32
blockbuster that we heard on Friday. What was
21:35
your takeaway? And tell me about your experience
21:37
with her. Well, I thought it
21:39
was blockbuster because she was, and Sunny's
21:41
the actual lawyer here. So she thought
21:43
it was block buster. It was juicy.
21:46
Because she basically conveyed to
21:49
the jury, this was
21:51
his motivation. He knew that he wanted
21:53
to influence the outcome of the election.
21:55
The intent was right there. The intent,
21:57
and that is so key here. And
22:00
it also was incredibly close to former
22:02
President Trump. And I've met
22:04
her only once when she came to the
22:06
White House with then-President-elect Trump
22:08
and Jared Kushner two days after the
22:10
election. We were a little shell-shocked in
22:12
this moment, I will just admit. But
22:15
we wanted to. President Obama told us, like, you've got
22:17
to be graceful. This is the transfer of power, the
22:19
transition of power. We had been treated with tremendous grace
22:21
by the Bush team, and we wanted to do the
22:24
same thing. And I met with her, and I said,
22:26
do you have any questions? What can
22:28
I help you with? And her main
22:30
question was, how did you get President
22:32
Obama to approve every statement? And
22:34
I said, we don't. I mean, if it's National Pancake
22:37
Day, we just put out the statement, right? If
22:39
it's a tough issue, we discuss it with him.
22:41
And she said, President, he's going
22:43
to want to, Mr. Trump is going to want
22:45
to approve everything. And at the moment,
22:47
I thought, that's weird. And also, you're
22:49
never going to be able to do that. But
22:53
it's watching her on Friday. I was just
22:55
reflecting on that moment, because it does tell
22:57
you how engaged, if he's engaged in the
23:00
little things, approving a Pancake Day statement, which
23:02
literally there may be one from the White
23:04
House. Of course, he's involved in the big
23:06
thing. And that I
23:09
remembered that story quite well in that moment. Yeah,
23:11
very interesting. Something. Well, the other
23:13
story dominating the news cycle, of course, are
23:15
the protests over the Israel-Hamas war that
23:18
have been taking place on college campuses
23:20
nationwide. Bernie Sanders over
23:22
the weekend said this may be
23:24
President Biden's Vietnam. How
23:26
much of a hazard is this issue for
23:28
Biden in terms
23:30
of his reelection chances? Well, let
23:32
me first say, I mean, I spent a lot
23:34
of time in other countries, not North Korea, but
23:37
where a peaceful protest is not allowed. And
23:40
it is allowed in this country. And that is
23:42
a tremendous, amazing thing. And I was very pleased
23:44
to see the president go out and make a
23:46
statement to convey that on Thursday. I
23:48
think we don't know the political impact
23:50
at this point. What we're seeing is
23:52
students who are the most of these
23:54
protests are peaceful. There are some cases
23:56
where they are not. There are cases
23:59
of anti-Semitism. cases where people are
24:01
screaming things like from the river to the
24:03
sea, perhaps because they're not informed about how
24:05
offensive that statement is. They're
24:07
not all monolithic. The
24:09
political impact, I think we don't know yet, Sunny.
24:11
And what I will say, though, is if you're
24:13
sitting on the campaign, you're very mindful of this.
24:16
You see the passion of these students. You also, though, look
24:18
at things like there was a Harvard University
24:20
poll recently, which actually I was quite surprised
24:22
by. Because the number
24:24
one issue for young people was the
24:26
economy and housing and the cost of
24:29
living. And if you're in
24:31
the campaign, you have to he's president. He should
24:33
speak to it. He's speaking at Morehouse. I think
24:35
that's the right choice. But you also
24:37
have to be mindful of what is on the minds
24:39
of young people. And it is the
24:41
cost of living, entering the working world, how it's
24:43
so hard to rent an apartment, young voters, young
24:46
voters. And I think they're thinking quite a bit
24:48
about that. But but
24:50
it has to be front and center
24:52
for you on a campaign. Well, in
24:54
addition to young people, polls are also
24:56
showing President Biden with softer support from
24:59
African-Americans and Latino voters compared to
25:01
2020. That's
25:03
despite Trump pledging to round
25:05
up 11 million undocumented immigrants and
25:08
seeming to be more worried
25:10
about anti-white discrimination than any
25:13
other racism. So you've
25:15
worked in campaigns and administrations that had Latino and
25:17
African-American support. What do you think Biden should be
25:19
doing right now? I mean, first of all, some
25:22
of these things bend your mind. So let me
25:24
just acknowledge that. I mean, as it bends my
25:26
mind sometimes that more white women voted for Trump
25:28
than Biden. It's like, come on, people, what are
25:30
we doing out here? There's a lot at stake.
25:33
I will say, Anna, that this is one of
25:35
the topics I think that's probably front and center for the
25:37
campaign, because they are very they
25:39
know that young
25:42
voters, also voters of color could stay home. They may
25:44
not go out and vote for Trump, but they may
25:46
not come out and vote for Biden. And
25:48
if you're on the campaign, what you have to do
25:51
and they're focused on doing what they need to do
25:53
more of is make the choice very clear. Is
25:55
Joe Biden perfect? No, he's not perfect. Right.
25:58
Of course he's not. No,
26:00
he hasn't. But he's got to
26:02
convince people he's going to be the
26:04
one fighting for them, and the other
26:06
guy is fighting for himself, pretty much.
26:09
That's the message. Has it worked effectively
26:11
entirely yet? No. They've got
26:14
a lot of work to do. Why is there
26:16
a divide? I don't know the answer to that
26:18
question, because, and I think part of it is
26:20
that the choice is not quite clear yet between
26:22
the candidates and the stakes needs to, people need
26:24
to be reminded of the stakes of the, we
26:26
all talk about politics all the time. You all
26:28
do. It's not front and center yet
26:30
for people. It will be in the coming
26:32
months. No, and the Biden administration has undeniably
26:34
accomplished a lot in the last three years,
26:36
when you look at employment numbers, infrastructure, gun
26:39
reform, even things like bringing down
26:41
drug prices, going after junk fees.
26:44
But in the polls, with inflation, the
26:46
protests, the age issue, all of the
26:49
things, we're seeing a more, a closer
26:51
race than you'd expect. Is
26:53
there something here that could be done
26:55
in messaging? What is the disconnect from
26:58
that information and the way it's landing
27:00
or not? Well, one of the challenges, and
27:02
I will say people don't always recognize us
27:04
in government, as Alyssa knows, everybody in government,
27:07
they love data and spreadsheets and
27:09
pages and reams of
27:11
bureaucratic talking points. People
27:13
don't make decisions by you telling them
27:15
how they should feel about the economy.
27:17
They make decisions about how they feel
27:19
and how they feel about things. There
27:22
are some, the data has been improving
27:24
on the economy, including inflation numbers by
27:26
and large. But people, the cost of
27:28
housing is still too high. People still
27:30
have student loans they're paying back. It
27:32
is still cost of groceries are still higher
27:34
than they need to be. So people are
27:37
still feeling those things. And it's acknowledging that
27:39
and acknowledging that that's important. Joe
27:41
Biden always says, he's not the first to say this,
27:43
but he says, don't compare me to the almighty, compare
27:45
me to the alternative. And that's
27:47
really the message. The alternative is bad. The
27:50
alternative is pretty dark. And
27:52
on the economy, what I
27:54
expect is they'll continue to
27:56
harden that argument. it
28:00
through the press. Cause it's not the
28:02
sexiest message. He doesn't have the sexiest
28:04
message. They like a train wreck. And
28:08
train wrecks get a lot of more
28:10
attention. But we have to pay better
28:12
attention to what's going on. Cause they're not gonna
28:14
give it to, they're not gonna do it for ya. You
28:17
gotta do it, we gotta do it together ourselves. But
28:19
you know what? We're coming right back. We're
28:21
coming right back. A cloud of the Trump trials. It's
28:23
hard. Absolutely, absolutely. Absolutely. Every
28:34
kid in America who was a dancer wanted to be on
28:37
dance. And Abby knew it. I
28:39
don't care if they like
28:41
me or not, they're fabulous. When it comes down
28:43
to the way she treated us, it was tough
28:45
love. You have trouble saying her name. Yeah, I
28:47
feel like I have trouble just talking about it
28:49
in general. I'm not the bad guy. I was
28:52
the guy that made it happen. You think that
28:54
you would take back some of the harshness when
28:56
you look back. Mom,

29:51
Welcome back. Welcome
29:55
back. We are back with Ken,
29:57
and Lisa has the next question. So,
30:00
Jen, you've been on both sides of working
30:02
as a press secretary, but also now being
30:04
in the media. And there's been a lot
30:06
of criticism of Biden, most recently from The
30:08
New York Times, that he's held the fewest
30:10
interviews and press availabilities of any president since
30:13
Reagan. I personally think it would
30:15
help dispel some of the concerns about his age if
30:17
he did more. What would your advice be to the
30:19
White House in terms of his accessibility to press? Well,
30:21
I think the benefit of the media environment right
30:24
now, there's a lot of challenges, but I'm going
30:26
to start at the optimistic side, is that there
30:28
are so many choices. And when you're communicating from
30:30
the White House, I mean, respect for freedom of
30:32
speech and freedom of the press is
30:34
important. But you're also really trying to
30:37
communicate with the American people. Right. So
30:39
my view is he should come on the view before he
30:41
does a press conference. Thank you. He
30:44
should, because people want to
30:46
have real conversations about issues that are happening.
30:49
I think press conferences are important, but I
30:51
also think him doing Howard Stern. That's the
30:53
interview that reached a broader audience of people.
30:56
Him talking to the guys from Smartlist, which
30:58
is a great podcast. So
31:00
if you're in the White House, you're not
31:02
thinking about am I checking the box on
31:04
doing the most interviews. You're thinking about am
31:06
I doing the most I can to communicate
31:08
my message to the American people? That's
31:11
who I represent. So I would say more Howard
31:13
Stern. Come on the view. You
31:15
know, more Smartlist conversations where you're having conversations about
31:18
policy, but they're real ones that people have at
31:20
their kitchen. And they're also not just gotcha moments.
31:22
Sometimes it's a citizen when I watch. I don't
31:24
want the same just like catch in moment. I
31:26
want to know what's going on. Yeah, I don't
31:28
always get that from a press conference. But
31:31
when you you say your book Say More
31:33
was the book you wish you had when
31:35
you started out, you go into the highs
31:37
and lows of your time with the Biden
31:39
and Obama administrations and you write
31:42
poignantly about a topic we discuss here often.
31:47
And it's about the idea of
31:49
having it all. So you
31:52
were you are a mother of two, but your
31:54
kids were even younger then while working
31:56
in one of the most visible high pressure
31:58
jobs in the world. as a press
32:00
secretary, can you tell us a little bit about
32:03
that struggle for you? Sure, and I think many
32:05
of us can relate to this. Look,
32:07
I think people probably look at everyone at this table and
32:09
think, oh, you have it together. You just kind of sailed
32:11
to this point. And the truth is, it's very messy at
32:13
moments. And
32:17
what I learned is you have to define your
32:19
own parameters with
32:21
your family and with your kids. And when I
32:23
was the White House press secretary, my kids got
32:25
up with me at five a.m. It was a
32:27
little messy. Should kids that age be up
32:30
that early? Probably not, but it was a little,
32:32
that's my daughter. She's
32:34
now eight, and she's almost my height. But that's her,
32:36
when I worked for President Obama. What
32:39
I also learned about being a mom
32:41
and working in a high pressure job
32:43
is that you sometimes limit yourself. And
32:46
I tell this story in my book about being
32:48
called to come back and be the White House
32:51
Communications Director. I was pregnant at the time, and
32:53
I immediately said, oh, you must
32:55
not know I'm pregnant. Thank
32:57
you so much. And Dennis McDonough, who's the Chief of Staff
32:59
at the time, to his credit, said, that's amazing,
33:01
it's great, we'll figure that out. Just promise you'll
33:03
think about it and call me tomorrow. And it
33:06
was a lesson to me, too, that so many,
33:08
my eye was, and so many women limit themselves
33:10
in what's possible. And you have to ask for
33:12
what you need. I asked to leave at 5.30.
33:15
I did, I did Pizza Night with my kids
33:17
on Fridays when I was the press secretary. You
33:19
create your own parameters. You can't always keep them,
33:21
always. But that's one of the lessons I learned.
33:24
You were also working for Joe Biden, who took
33:26
the train back and forth for 30-some years to
33:28
be able to be with his children. Which was
33:30
a huge factor. And I worked for two presidents,
33:32
which is an amazing, I'm like, I'm not that
33:34
old. I worked for two presidents
33:37
who both said, when you need to do
33:39
something for your kids, go do it. Wow.
33:42
And I'm hugely loved about that. Wow. Well,
33:47
you know you can come to the table at a time. It's
33:50
just so fun. I'm hanging out. I'm having
33:52
a dream. Hang out. Ring Joe Biden. I
33:54
will. I invited him
33:56
three times. You can hear more from her
33:58
when she joins Alyssa. our

care brand that was founded by
36:26
an influencer after her own
36:28
experience with hair loss. Are you guys
36:31
familiar with that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay,
36:33
so every formula here is crafted by
36:35
an in-house all female chemo scientist. I

thought that was pretty cool. And the
36:40
signature product is her Divi scalp serum
36:42
which is right here. Now, you have
36:45
to for this. Now this promises healthier
36:47

conditioners as well as the hydrate and

restore. This is good. You got to
36:58
get that build up and oil off

the hair. That helps you with breakage

and falling. Now the whole collection today

on hair, the classy head wrap. I

absolutely love these. Feel this. Now it

it this morning with Rebecca to apply
37:19
my makeup and I loved it. See? So
37:21
it's soft and stretchy, Terry. It's got a
37:23
specialized elastic so that enhances the comfort. I
37:25
love that it doesn't pull on a hairline
37:27
or the skin. And I don't like the
37:30
tight ones. Now it works for all hair
37:32

37:34

37:36
