The view starts live

0:03

right now. Trump's

0:06

Time Bombs. The

0:08

former president's explosive interview with Time

0:10

Magazine, where he lays out his

0:12

second term plans if he wins,

0:14

and claims he was too nice

0:16

the first time around. So

0:19

what happens if he wins the White House

0:21

back? We will root out the

0:24

communists, Marxists, fascists, and

0:26

the radical left thugs that live

0:29

like vermin within the confines of

0:31

our country. Fox

0:33

and the Hound. How

0:35

conservative media is taking aim at Kristi Noem's

0:38

shocking revelation that she killed her dog. She

0:40

says, I can be tough like a man.

0:42

How can I be tough like a man?

0:45

I can kill a puppy. Is

0:47

her political career shot? Then

0:50

Emmy winner John Leguizamo talks

0:52

about revealing his sinister side

0:54

when he takes you behind

0:56

the Green Veil. And

0:58

the co-hosts are unwrapping their favorite things

1:01

for Mother's Day that are all under

1:03

50 bucks. Here

1:06

come Hot Topics with

1:10

Whoopi, Sarah

1:13

Haines, Anna

1:16

Navarro, Joy

1:18

Behar, Sunny

1:21

Hostin, and

1:23

Alyssa Peregriffin. Now,

1:26

let's get things started. Thanks

2:31

for coming.

2:43

Thanks for coming. That's our show. Yes.

2:47

Yes. You know, I have to just say,

2:49

when I, one time I was in the gynecologist's

2:51

office in the sheriffs and that

2:53

played on my phone. I'm

2:55

not kidding. How many

2:58

gynecologists are playing? I

3:02

should be more concerned about what came marching out,

3:05

but that's not what we're talking

3:07

about right now. We

3:09

wanted to walk out on a really

3:11

high note and get us all feeling

3:13

so good about just being alive and

3:15

being American. And

3:18

so when the same come

3:20

marching in is in honor, in

3:22

honor of International Jazz

3:25

Day. So, yes,

3:27

I would say to

3:30

the performers who did this, now you

3:32

know we're going to get to hot

3:34

topics, but this is real American music.

3:36

Everybody in this audience was singing the

3:38

words to that. That tells you something.

3:41

So yay for y'all. And

3:51

now to this. Ah,

3:54

the dreaded. In a new

3:56

interview released this morning, you know who

3:59

told Time Magazine. what he would do

4:01

if he gets back in

4:03

the White House. Things

4:06

like this, he's gonna let states monitor

4:08

a woman's pregnancy. Yeah. Think

4:12

about that. Yeah. He's

4:15

gonna deploy the military to

4:17

deport migrants. And the Mexicans

4:19

are gonna pay for it. And

4:23

he's gonna absolutely consider

4:25

pardoning January 6th rioters. Of

4:27

course. Now he was also

4:29

asked if he thinks there will be

4:32

political violence if he loses. And he

4:34

answered, it depends. Is

4:37

he referring to something he was wearing? Ha

4:39

ha ha ha. You're

4:41

on fire already. You know? So

4:45

is this, I mean there's also,

4:47

this is my favorite. Yeah. And

4:50

I'm gonna tell you before I say it,

4:52

that it enraged me. There

4:56

is a definite anti-white feeling in

4:58

the country right now. Oh please.

5:01

That's what he said. You know, sir. Sir.

5:04

Yeah, sir. Nobody

5:08

in your family was hung. Nobody

5:13

in your family was chased because

5:15

of the color of their skin.

5:17

How dare you? There's no anti-white

5:20

issue here. You

5:22

are perpetrating anti-humanist

5:25

issues here. So

5:29

the question is, is

5:34

this, is he the future? Is

5:36

he the future? Well, I gotta ask.

5:38

Yeah. You know, that's the game,

5:40

they pay me. I

5:43

read this big time interview this morning and

5:45

it's Trump in his own words saying these

5:47

scary things. But I wasn't as

5:49

taken aback as I should be because for the

5:52

last four years, myself, others who spoke out against

5:54

him have been saying literally line by line what

5:56

he's saying in his own words in this piece.

5:58

And it is devastating. that

6:00

is not resonating with

6:02

Republicans. A party I've been a member of

6:04

my whole life, that they're just not believing

6:06

it. The other day, Bill Barr, the former

6:08

Attorney General, was asked about something I had

6:10

stated where Trump said that somebody should be

6:12

executed because they leaked a bad story about

6:14

him. And he basically was like, I don't

6:16

recall that, but on other occasions he said

6:18

stuff like that, but we shouldn't take him

6:20

literally. No, the things he says we should

6:23

take literally, and I've said this a thousand

6:25

times, there won't be guardrails next time. There

6:27

won't be Mark Esper, there won't be John

6:29

Kelly, there won't be the mad at article.

6:31

He says he's going to only hire loyalists

6:33

and people who say that the last election

6:35

is stolen. So he's admitting he's gonna staff

6:37

a White House and the entire federal government

6:39

with either liars or lunatics. It is very

6:41

scary, and I just wanna underscore, because I

6:43

want Trump to lose, he and Joe Biden

6:45

are neck and neck. It is very real

6:47

that in seven months we will wake up

6:49

to President-elect Donald Trump, and that should be

6:51

scary for every American. It is scary, very

6:54

scary stuff. And also, you know, when

6:57

a child sets a house on fire, you don't give

6:59

them another book of matches. He already was

7:01

terrible as a president. Thousands and thousands

7:03

of people died in COVID under his watch. And

7:05

you know, and a lot of these kids who

7:07

are protesting, I think that they don't understand, because

7:09

they're saying that kids under, 26-year-olds

7:12

and under, are not feeling

7:14

President Biden. You know? And

7:16

this type of protest that we talked about,

7:18

we talked about it yesterday, I think that

7:20

that will put Trump right back into the

7:22

White House. So they better be careful what

7:24

they want, because this is the generation that's

7:26

gonna lose their abortion rights and their voting

7:28

rights. They're the ones to be worried. You

7:30

don't replace dissatisfaction with a dictatorship. Well,

7:33

I hope that... I... What

7:39

I am... I

7:42

agree with Elissa in the sense that everyone's

7:45

been saying this is what he thinks, this is

7:47

what he does, or will

7:49

do rather, and I'm happy he said the quiet part

7:52

out loud. If you vote for him,

7:54

you know exactly what you're getting. Another thing that

7:56

he said was this. He said, I don't have

7:58

my reading glasses on, excuse me. He said

8:00

that, thank you. We

8:04

share. He said that

8:06

there are, his allies are laying

8:08

the groundwork to restructure the presidency

8:10

in line with a doctrine called

8:12

the Unitary Executive Theory. That

8:15

means king, right? And our very

8:17

framers of this country, it's so

8:19

anti-American, our very framers were running

8:21

away from that business model, right?

8:24

They wanted to make sure, the

8:26

founders, that there were three branches

8:28

and that they had co-equal power,

8:30

it's the judicial, for those

8:32

that didn't take civics, judicial

8:34

branch, legislative branch, a

8:36

branch, executive branch, and there is a system

8:39

of checks and balances, he wants to destroy

8:41

that everyone. But I actually, Alyssa took something

8:43

that you said a couple of weeks ago

8:46

that if he is convicted in New York,

8:48

that there are Republicans, there are Republican women,

8:50

there are independents that will not vote for

8:52

him. A new study just came out in

8:55

North Carolina with a group of women, they

8:57

said that he should be put under the

8:59

jail, that he gets convicted in New York. That

9:02

gives me some hope that

9:05

this trial in New York

9:07

matters and that there are

9:09

Americans out there that don't wanna see a

9:11

second Trump presidency and don't wanna see a

9:14

criminal in the White House. Yeah, that's cool.

9:16

Well, in reading that high model that you

9:18

mentioned, Alyssa, I agree that not much of

9:20

it was shocking because it's been, we've talked

9:23

about it over and over many of the

9:25

things. One thing that did jump out about

9:27

this was abortion, women's reproductive health rights. And

9:29

one of the reasons that's the case is

9:32

he kind of punted the ball back to the state

9:34

saying, no matter how extreme the

9:36

laws are, it won't be my problem. That's

9:39

a state thing, I'm not gonna deal with

9:41

it. But the Republican Study Committee, which includes

9:43

more than 80% of

9:45

the House GOP Conference, included in

9:47

its 2025 budget, the Life

9:49

of Conception Act, which means at

9:51

fertilization, it would become

9:53

illegal to terminate

9:56

that pregnancy. And by the way, for all

9:58

those people from Alabama that were so- rage,

10:00

there goes IVF. Yes. Because

10:02

if this were to take place, which he's saying

10:04

right now safely, I'm not going to handle it, the

10:07

people doing money and navigating

10:09

the GOP right now are ready to

10:12

bring that to President Trump. So

10:14

I just would be weary of what you're going to get

10:16

because he's saying some things and some things he's still not

10:18

saying. That means millions of women, by the way, will never

10:20

be able to get pregnant. Yes. I

10:23

very well may need to have IVF to get pregnant. It's terrible. The

10:27

whole idea of some man deciding

10:31

what happens with my body is so abhorrent

10:33

to me. And because this is in

10:36

our hands, our hands, there's

10:39

no layback on there. You either vote

10:42

and you vote for the country you

10:44

grew up in and try to

10:46

fix that, or you go to dictatorship.

10:48

It's that or that. It's

10:50

that simple. We'll be right back. Today's

you. Thank you. And tomorrow, Whoopi

13:57

opens up like never

13:59

before. across the six diseases

14:01

of our lives, only on ABC

14:03

Seville. Okay,

14:06

welcome back. We

14:14

have discovered the line

14:16

that you cannot cross with

14:18

folks on Fox News. And

14:21

Governor Kristi Nome has

14:24

stepped in it and over it. Take

14:28

a look. I don't think there's

14:30

anybody on any side of the aisle, any

14:32

human being that thinks it's acceptable to go

14:34

to a gravel pit and shoot a dog

14:36

in the face and kill it when it's

14:38

14 months old. I

14:40

mean, that's just hideous. So she's done

14:43

politically. Shooting the dog was pretty bad.

14:45

I don't think people will be fetching

14:47

her book anytime soon. I think the

14:49

whole thing reeks of desperation. I think you

14:51

have a woman here who desperately wants to

14:53

be vice president and ultimately president. And so

14:55

she says, I can be tough like a man.

14:57

How could I be tough like a man? I

15:00

can kill a puppy. Is

15:05

there any coming back from this with this

15:07

woman? No. Okay, so we moving on.

15:09

No, we are not. Okay, so shooting your

15:11

dog is not funny. Okay, let's just start

15:13

with that. But this is actually a little funny. So

15:16

the Lincoln Project published a tongue in cheek video.

15:18

You know those ASPCA ads with Sarah McLaughlin that

15:20

rip your heart out? Yeah, I always get money.

15:23

So they ASPCA. The narrator, they

15:25

did a video. The narrator says, you have options. Shooting

15:27

your dog in the face should not be one of

15:29

them. And if you do happen to

15:31

shoot your dog in the face, please don't write about

15:33

it in your autobiography. Yeah. Well,

15:35

she's not just cruel, she's also stupid.

15:38

And by the way, her boyfriend Trump, she wanted to

15:40

be his V, but I think that's what this is

15:43

about. I think he's weird. Our Boyfriend

15:45

Trump wanted to have his vice President hung.

15:47

We saw that on January 4th, whatever the

15:49

date was. The January 6th, I was tracked.

15:51

So they sort of made for each other.

15:53

You Know, it's like the Party of Cruelty.

15:55

He hasn't spoken up though. But The thing

15:57

is, it's one thing to disclose. The

16:00

bring in Nepal can be like this treat.

16:02

You know the sad moment happened. She still

16:04

had options that was an indefensible this. Sure,

16:06

if I hated that dog he was one

16:08

of them. Useless and wouldn't have been supply

16:11

me with this. As we always say the

16:13

line of like down from could shoot someone

16:15

on Fifth Avenue. Apparently the line as shooting

16:17

a puppy and raped her political career is

16:19

better than added that. To say don't care

16:21

about shooting a person but a dog officer

16:24

is it. is it it. it will be

16:26

helpless. That's why to have a percent of

16:28

Americans consider their fur babies a member. Of

16:30

their that's around nine or something would

16:32

assume that we're not even if they

16:34

weren't. How dare you shoot and how

16:36

they should not be Another living like

16:38

this is a person I believe. isn't

16:40

this the same woman who was in

16:42

her goes the Christmas card you hundred

16:44

hours when I was able to that

16:46

all the while they last saw the

16:48

one Walking Buggers the one oh man

16:50

I certainly allow. So did something like

16:52

that can be this. It's a one

16:54

quick thinker. Zero animal rescue everywhere. Yeah.

16:56

and if you are not able to

16:58

train your dog re home. Your dog go

17:01

to a rescue. Have you rest your health

17:03

Result: The Code Animal Rescue Team feel compelled

17:05

to say something about on trainable dogs. They

17:07

said this and all our years and animal

17:09

rescue and the thousands of animals that have

17:11

come to our door, we have yet to

17:13

meet a dog that was so untrainable it

17:15

deserved to be set to death. And I

17:17

believe in that fourteen month old puppy. like

17:19

as a major, it's highly like a twelve

17:21

year old as I were minor who was

17:24

that easy for her to do that to.

17:26

A dog? What would she do to parse. The

17:28

I Will Be right. You

17:40

can feel the mother lode of year deal

17:42

with order was under for have all over

17:44

the hill. His mother's a syphilis will go

17:46

get solving right now and year deals are

17:48

com. We

17:56

have hourly. We were on spring break last week.

17:58

Really? did you have fun? Joy idea? I

18:00

went to Italy. Finally got

18:02

to Italy. And I'm gonna show you a

18:04

couple of pictures. Well, first of

18:06

all, it was so crowded there. Here we are

18:08

on the steps on a train. We're

18:11

on a train here because we couldn't get a seat.

18:14

We paid for it, but it was so crowded

18:16

that we were on the steps. So that's what

18:18

we did. And this is the Spanish steps. Look

18:20

at how many people was there. I mean, it

18:22

was so bloody crowded, you

18:24

know? And then the next

18:26

one is me and Rachel Ray. I went to visit

18:28

her at her villa. She

18:31

lived, here's a villa with the most beautiful

18:34

view of Tuscany you can imagine. It's just

18:36

the most beautiful. Did she cook for you?

18:38

She cooked. We had fun. We had some

18:40

wine and with a lovely, lovely taste. How

18:42

is this her lasagna compared to your lasagna?

18:45

She didn't make lasagna. She made a complete

18:47

fish. She made an apostatic.

18:49

Oh, Brancina? She made, um. She

18:51

make you a Brancino? Maybe, I don't know

18:53

my fish. Okay, okay, okay. And she, but

18:56

her husband was there and it was just a lovely,

18:58

lovely, but the weather there was

19:00

not good. It was cold and you know, I had

19:02

to buy a vegan coat. You might've seen. I saw.

19:04

That's a cute coat. Yeah, thank you. We got cold

19:06

weather, because I was in Venice for the whole trip

19:08

and I was hoping to overlap with Joy, but we

19:11

didn't. But I'm looking for like, you see a beautiful

19:13

redhead walking around. And then I was looking for Brian

19:15

and I had this whole plan with my husband. He's

19:17

with two beautiful redheads. Yeah, you were the beautiful redhead.

19:19

Three. I was gonna send

19:21

my husband to go up and be like, excuse me, are you the

23:37

what i'm capable of enforcement I'm

24:09

a hugger. I love hugging. Now

24:11

I feel great. That

24:13

character is scary as hell. That gave

24:15

me chills. That was hard. But you

24:17

are doing what you always said you were going to

24:19

do. That's right. You've become

24:22

a fantastic actor to watch.

24:26

I just

24:29

stand up. People now know you as

24:31

the actor. You have always been. But

24:33

you know who was a huge inspiration for

24:35

me? Who? Was you. Oh, I

24:40

wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. When

24:42

I saw your show on Broadway, I said, Oh

24:44

my God, I can be here.

24:47

She opened up the space for me. You did.

24:54

And you're one of the shows

24:56

where genius. Yes. What was the

24:58

one that a speaker?

25:00

I'm always my second and the

25:02

most brilliant. Oh, thank you. Thank you.

25:04

So you're acting chops there and you're comedic

25:06

acting. Yeah. Yeah. I was trying to prove

25:08

to the world that we land people have

25:11

excellence in our culture, that

25:13

we are great writers, we're comedians

25:15

because we were invisible. Yeah. Yeah.

25:19

We're still not sure. I mean,

25:22

we're 30% of the box office, 30%

25:25

of subscribers on streaming, 30% of

25:28

sports fans. Who's we? We land people.

25:30

We land people. Thank you. And when I

25:32

meet all that, I mean all Latin people. Yeah.

25:34

And yet with less than 6% of the leads, less than 1%

25:36

of the stories being told, less than 1% of

25:41

the executives, it's not okay.

25:43

No, but the only way to

25:45

challenge that is to do what you did.

25:47

Right. To start my own platform. To produce

25:50

my own thing. To

25:52

write my own shows. Because

25:54

if we don't do it, no one is going to remember to

25:56

do it. Because they don't know what it's going to do for

25:59

us. That's right. Yeah, we know that.

26:01

Yeah, yeah, we know that. We've seen that,

26:03

we've seen that on a daily basis. But

26:05

baby, we just watched just a tiny piece

26:07

of this story and it's a

26:10

crazy twist of drama and it's a series

26:12

based on true events in this

26:14

country. Tell everybody really what

26:16

this is all about. All right, the reason

26:18

I jumped on this series was because when

26:20

the director creator, Adam Rappaport, told me that

26:22

in the 50s, the US

26:24

government was coming up with excuses to

26:27

go into Native American people's homes and

26:29

take their children from them and put them up for

26:32

adoption so they couldn't inherit the land so they can

26:34

give it to oil companies. That's right. And this went

26:36

from the 50s to the 80s. So

26:39

when I heard that story, I got chills, I

26:42

wanted to be a part of telling this story and bringing it

26:44

to the screen because it's so

26:46

insidious, it's so disgusting and saddening.

26:48

So my

26:50

character, Gordo, is a self-hating

26:53

Latin person who

26:55

wants to pass, but he can't pass, he's not really

26:57

passing. What he thinks is you got the white wife,

26:59

the white child that he adopted because obviously if they

27:02

had kids, they wouldn't look. His neighbors think he

27:04

has a tan from Florida. He

27:07

tells him he suns easily. John, I have to

27:09

tell you that this is, it's

27:13

hard to believe with all that you've been in

27:15

in your long-lasting career that this is your first

27:17

ever lead. And I have to tell you, watching

27:19

this, I started it, couldn't stop it. And

27:21

I will tell you that you're, you

27:23

see in this clip how your character is

27:25

not a lovable person. You played it in

27:27

a way that made me want to understand

27:30

why and it was layered. And

27:32

to hit that point where I actually cared

27:34

about him a little at times and could

27:36

see the little boy inside and you,

27:39

I hated myself at times for being okay with

27:42

it, but you were fascinating in this. So what

27:44

does it mean to you to be a lead

27:46

at this point in your career? Well, thank

27:49

you for those kind words, by the way, because it's

27:51

exactly what I wanted to do with this character. I

27:53

didn't need people to like me. I didn't want them

27:55

to like me, but

27:57

they needed to understand the sickness. That's what I wanted

27:59

them to. understand what it takes to be

28:01

a Latin man in a country and

28:04

wanting to pass and believing that if you pass

28:06

and you do everything right that the system is

28:08

gonna take you but it doesn't, it spits you

28:10

right back out. So here he is,

28:13

like when you watch on Fox News, you

28:16

know you watched and then when they're taking

28:18

down our democracy, they'll put up all this

28:20

border stuff and who is the people perpetrating

28:23

grabbing the children and the moms are

28:25

Latino patrol officers. So

28:28

that's the kind of character, that's how I related and

28:30

got my in into this character. It's important to tell.

28:32

It is. I have to echo Sarah, I

28:34

started it last night and I was up till one

28:36

o'clock in the morning. Oh you do, I'm sorry, my bad.

28:39

I couldn't stop watching it, I couldn't stop

28:41

watching it and my husband was watching it

28:43

with me and we were so enthralled by

28:45

this and

28:48

the issue of being Latino in this country,

28:50

right? And so you say people are going

28:52

to despise you as a character, I did

28:55

despise you. Thank you, thank you. I

28:57

want that. Yeah I did, I did. This guy's not

28:59

a good guy. No he's not a good guy, he's

29:02

doing everything he can to assimilate but

29:04

hide his heritage while brutalizing others for

29:06

their heritage, right? So what

29:08

was that like as a Latino to

29:10

take it on? Oh,

29:14

it was painful, you know, you

29:16

had to take on all this rage and

29:19

then you know I'm snatching children from their

29:22

parents and they're screaming and those screams would

29:24

give me like PTSD when I would go

29:26

home and be by myself. So

29:28

it's hard to live with that, you know? You

29:32

know Latinos, I feel like Latinos are

29:34

in a really good intersection right now

29:36

in our culture because we're finally embracing

29:39

and accepting that we're indigenous and accepting

29:42

our Afro-Latinidad. Yes, yes. Because

29:44

we were ashamed and

29:46

in denial. Very

29:48

anti-black for a long time. And

29:51

anti-indigenous. And the majority of us are

29:53

indigenous, you know, I'm 26% indigenous and

29:55

5% Afro-Latino. But

29:58

you know, my family's all. like

30:00

the whiter you are, the prettier you are,

30:02

if your hair's straight, but not too straight

30:04

because then it's indigenous. And then

30:06

you gotta have those European features, then you're beautiful,

30:08

everybody else, not so much. But we're

30:11

finally getting over that. I feel like we're really

30:13

coming to a place where we're rejecting that. So

30:15

real quick, I have to ask, because the

30:17

show has so many layers, but it wades

30:19

into the public fascination with UFOs, alien abductions,

30:22

conspiracies. Are you a believer? Am

30:25

I a believer? I have a

30:27

hard time believing in aliens only because every

30:29

time they talk about the pyramids in Latin

30:31

America and Africa, they say aliens must have

30:33

built them. And we're not smart enough,

30:35

we're gonna have to build our own. Pyramid,

30:37

yeah, that's a good point. So

30:40

I gotta add to that, tie aliens. And

30:43

I'm thrilled that you did this movie because

30:45

you know what's happening in indigenous communities in

30:47

our country today. Young

30:49

men are getting their hair cut off.

30:52

Hair in the indigenous

30:54

community is very important. Things are

30:56

happening, keep your eyes open. The

32:36

are you? Honey,

32:38

you're up. You're

32:40

my friend? You know,

32:43

I think that Mother's Day is really about

32:45

self-care for moms because we take care of

32:47

everyone else, right, but sometimes we do not

32:49

take care of ourselves. For me, I take

32:51

care of myself with a good cup of

32:54

tea, and my favorite brand

32:56

is Harney and Sons, so amazing.

32:59

Their tea started just four bucks

33:01

at harney.com. Harney and Sons is

33:03

a family-owned and operated American tea

33:05

company. They offer, yes, they are.

33:17

your tea to go, okay? Their tea

33:19

is sourced from the finest tea-growers around

33:22

the world, and I just love the

33:24

tins that they come in, because they're

33:26

reusable. You can put your diamonds in

33:28

there. You can put all sorts of

33:31

little things. I really like it. And

33:34

so once Mom or I have my

33:36

tea, you really need a beautiful cup

33:38

to drink it from, right? I love

33:40

these limited edition Collection Mugs from interior

33:43

designer Sheila Bridges. She's one of my favorites.

33:45

She's been around for a long time, African-American

33:48

woman. They are only 28 bucks. She's

33:51

partnered with lecuse.com. Did

33:53

I say that right? It would be lecuse.com.

33:56

The Mugs feature Sheila's beloved Harlem

33:59

twall. pattern, what's really

34:01

cool about the pattern is, each

34:03

mug in the collection highlights like a

34:05

vignette from everyday black life, you've got

34:07

a boombox in here celebrating 50 as

34:09

a hip hop with a

34:11

pesserol, you know, other motifs from

34:14

the 1700s. And

34:16

guess what, y'all, you're all going home with

34:18

a mug from Sarah Gradychul

34:20

and the crew and

34:22

Artie and some cheese. You're

34:25

up next, Lauren. Okay,

34:28

so I just came back from a trip and I

34:30

think these two items were that helped a lot, right?

34:33

So, and most moms are always on the

34:35

go and that's why my first gift is

34:37

fabulous for all of these mothers out there.

34:39

These are sling bags from marleylily.com.

34:42

They start at just under

34:44

20 bucks. I love

34:46

them because they're hands-free bags. They

34:48

have adjustable accent shoulder straps, they

34:50

have multiple compartments which hold a

34:52

lot. You can also personalize them

34:54

with a monogram and a variety

34:56

of colors. There

34:58

you go, very good. So,

35:02

okay, so that's what these, and you know, your

35:04

names are on there. That's pretty cool. This one's

35:07

a good- That's so delicious. I

35:09

love it. Pretty good. Isn't

35:11

it? Thank you. We

35:14

love a little bit of swag around here. So

35:17

hands-free is the way to go, right?

35:20

And that is why I also chose

35:22

this Mother's Day gift. Now these are

35:24

cross-body phone wallets. This is really good.

35:26

I like this whole idea. Okay. Isn't

35:29

that good? It's so good. It's

35:31

from onetop.com. They

35:36

start at just under $25. They hold

35:38

your phone so you don't have to. They

35:40

are perfect for traveling or yard sale

35:42

shopping. That's

35:44

what I'm saying. They come with a removable

35:47

and a sustainable strap. They

35:50

have compartments to hold your credit

35:52

cards, driver's license, or cash. Pretty

35:55

good. This is little things.

35:57

And wait, there's more. We

36:00

have a variety of colors and styles, and you're all

36:02

going home with a voucher for a Co-it's

36:04

Body Find-Out. And it's a

36:06

gift that you can give to those out there. Mommy's

36:09

Mom. Take

36:11

it away, Sarah. Thank you, Joy. Well,

36:13

everyone knows the way to this mama's

36:15

heart, it's through my belly. And that's

36:17

why I chose this next product. These

36:19

are Ginger Snap cookies from a mother-daughter-owned

36:21

cookie company called Susan Snap. They

36:24

start at just 1295. Now, the

36:26

only thing better than the cookie is their journey,

36:28

which began when at 22 years old, Susan was

36:30

diagnosed with cancer. After learning that

36:32

Ginger is a stomach-soother, Susan's amazing mother created

36:34

a recipe for Ginger Snap, the best ones

36:36

I've ever had, by the way. When Susan

36:39

and her mom realized these cookies could help

36:41

so many others, their business Susan Snap

36:43

was born. They are delicious, and now

36:45

they've grown it to a variety of

36:47

flavors, original lemon, chocolate peanut butter, and

36:49

toasted coconut. And the women

36:52

themselves are phenomenal. I've met them once. They're

36:54

amazing. So it's a good-on-good gift. Now, on

36:56

to my second one. What

36:58

better gift to give a busy mom than one

37:00

They offer meditation and mindfulness tools, mental

38:00

from Dominique Ansel. He said, James,

38:03

yes baby. Yes,

38:05

Miss. Girl, you know. Let me tell

38:08

them what happened now. He's

38:11

a James Beard award-winning pastry chef.

38:13

He created some of the most

38:15

incredible pastries in the world and

38:18

they ship nationwide through the website

38:20

dominiqueansel.com. Are you eating all of

38:22

them? Let

38:24

me tell you about his goodies. The

38:26

cookie shot sets, which is what she's

38:28

working with right now, are made with

38:30

a soft chocolate chip cookie that's

38:35

shaped like a shot glass and lined

38:37

with chocolate inside. So you

38:39

simply fill the cookie shop with milk

38:43

or champagne. No, Kahlua.

38:45

Kahlua. Whatever you do.

38:48

You sip

38:51

and enjoy the cookie and

38:53

his famous cronut is a

38:55

half croissant half donut and

38:57

the flavor changes every month.

38:59

Okay. That's what's going on.

39:01

And the DKA is a

39:04

caramelized croissant. That's

39:06

what's going on up in here. But

39:08

this is what's going on over here. Okay.

39:11

Because my family never

39:13

plugs in their phones. And

39:15

so they always are taking mine so

39:17

I never have any. So these are

39:19

great tech items from

39:22

momsfrombelkin.com. These here

39:24

start at just $39.99. They're

39:27

power banks, which are

39:29

known as superchargers. They connect to

39:31

your phone and do it

39:34

with or without cords. I

39:36

like their boost charge 5K.

39:39

It's a portable magnetic wireless

39:42

power bank. So no cords

39:44

are needed. But

39:47

wait. And then they come

39:50

with a fold out stand which

39:52

allows hands free screening. I also

39:54

love their wireless earbuds and I

39:57

love them particularly because they've made

39:59

me. many of them with children in

40:01

mind. So you don't have to worry about your

40:03

kids ears, they come in great colors and

40:05

40:10

underway in Manhattan. It's

40:54

one of potentially four trials facing former

40:56

president Trump as he makes his third

40:58
