0:32

Keyar disaster. After

0:35

the Republican Georgia governor thanks President

0:37

Biden for rushing relief to storm

0:39

ravaged states. The president just

0:41

called me yesterday afternoon and

0:43

he just said, hey, what do you need? The

0:46

former president drops in and lies

0:48

about the White House response. The

0:50

governor's doing a very good job. He's having a

0:52

hard time getting the president on the phone. I

0:54

guess they're not, they're not

0:56

being responsive. Is Trump trying to

0:59

score points in the polls at a

1:01

time when politics should be put aside?

1:03

He's lying. And the governor told

1:05

him he was lying. Then,

1:08

SNL alum Kate McKinnon is

1:10

live to talk about how

1:12

she's helping girls find their

1:14

inner mad scientist. Plus,

1:16

the disability rights activist at the heart

1:18

of the new doc betreased the movie,

1:21

shares her love story and how a shocking

1:23

lapse in U.S. health care. If you get

1:26

married and you're collecting a Social Security benefit,

1:28

your benefit will be cut. Is

1:30

stopping her from living happily ever

1:33

after? Here

1:35

come hot topics with

1:38

Whoopi. Sarah

1:41

Haines. Anna

1:46

Navarro. Joy

1:49

Behar. Sunny

1:53

Hostin. And

1:56

Alyssa Sarah Griffin. Now,

2:00

let's get things started. I

2:30

see my uncle, I'm feeling beautiful.

2:34

Oh, I love, I love, I love

2:36

the space of the world. Oh, I

2:38

love you. Yes,

2:42

you are. All right. Hello,

2:47

hello, hello, and welcome to The

2:49

View. I just need

2:51

to wipe my teeth because I'm sure there's something

2:54

on here. You can see. No, no, no, no.

2:56

No, you're good. They're good. So

3:03

local, federal, state, what?

3:06

No, go back. No,

3:08

that's what it said. Local, state, and federal.

3:10

Oh, god. Help has been

3:12

swift to help the storm ravage

3:15

southeast. President Biden

3:17

signed off on disaster relief

3:19

before Hurricane Helene made landfall.

3:22

Now, Republican governors like

3:24

George's Brian Kemp are

3:26

putting politics aside by

3:28

thanking him for his

3:31

rapid response, unlike the

3:33

one who isn't president. And

3:37

never will, basically. OK. That's

3:45

a good way to say it. Well,

3:47

it's really important to remind people that

3:49

this man is not the president. He

3:52

has nothing to do with what

3:54

presidents are getting done. And

3:56

I'm just a little sick and tired of

3:59

him acting like he's something to say, but

4:01

who am I? Okay, who am

4:03

I? You are one with a microphone. So

4:06

I want you to take a look at this clip.

4:09

Maybe you'll understand why I'm so annoyed. Yeah. The

4:11

president just called me yesterday afternoon. I missed

4:14

him and called him right back. And

4:16

he just said, hey, what do you need? And

4:18

I told him, you know, we got what we

4:21

need. We'll work through the federal process. He offered

4:23

that if there's no other things we need, just

4:25

to call him directly, which I appreciate

4:27

that. The governor's doing a very good job.

4:30

He's having a hard time getting the president

4:32

on the phone. I guess they're not being

4:34

responsive. I haven't reached out to him now.

4:38

I think he's sleeping right now. Let me get in

4:40

the street. He's lying. And the

4:42

governor told him he was lying. The

4:44

governor told me he was lying. I've spoken to

4:47

the governor. I've spent time with him, and he

4:49

told me he's lying. I don't know why he

4:51

does this, but it's simply not true, and it's

4:53

irresponsible. Yeah. And not

4:55

only did his pointless

4:58

photo op take up needed

5:01

resources away from actually

5:03

helping people, he

5:06

straight up lied again

5:09

to Americans. Now,

5:11

I just, I have to

5:13

just keep saying, is

5:16

the GOP brain dead?

5:20

How can they allow him

5:22

to continue to act

5:24

as if he is in charge?

5:27

And I hate looking at you, because it makes

5:29

it feel like I'm directing it at you, but

5:32

you're the only person I can ask, what the

5:34

hell's going on? I

5:36

watched this clip, and I can't believe after

5:38

four years of time away from

5:40

him, this is still what we want. Governor

5:42

Brian Kemp, a popular Republican governor of Georgia,

5:44

is someone I could totally support for president.

5:46

He's able to show up. He's able to

5:49

work across the aisle, praise Joe Biden when

5:51

he needs it. But instead, we're going with

5:53

this buffoon who never misses the opportunity to

5:55

politicize a tragedy. And you said something important.

5:57

I've been to more natural disaster visits than

5:59

most. I travel a lot

6:01

with Vice President Pence. The emergency managers on

6:03

the ground, the first thing they'll tell you

6:06

is they don't want VIP visits in the

6:08

initial aftermath. It takes police resources, it puts

6:10

a strain on the recovery efforts. But

6:13

we know Donald Trump showed up because Georgia

6:15

and North Carolina are critical battleground states. What

6:17

we should want in leaders are people who

6:19

are gonna care just as much about North

6:21

Carolina and Georgia if they don't vote for

6:23

them and after the election. He shows up

6:26

because he thinks he knows. He

6:29

asked him things, remember what a disaster he

6:31

was in the last when he was president. But I

6:33

mean he thinks because he slept with someone named Stormy

6:35

that he's a weather expert. But

6:39

besides that, the guy,

6:41

I wanna just remind people what he did

6:43

when they were to slow things down. He

6:46

slowed things down for blue states. In

6:48

the early initial days of COVID, he

6:51

did not send help to blue states.

6:53

He will do that again if he

6:55

ever becomes president. Please, no. Well

6:57

in times of tragedy when lives are

6:59

being lost, there's at least 130 people

7:01

have died across six states, 600

7:04

people are unaccounted for. You literally

7:06

put the privilege of politics aside.

7:08

This is an all hands on deck

7:10

operation. So while Donald Trump is spouting

7:13

that the president and Vice President

7:15

Harris have sent one million liters of water,

7:17

more than 600 meals, 3,500 federal response personnel,

7:21

600 more arriving, 40 Starlink

7:23

satellites, they see cargo planes full of

7:26

food, water, and other commodities, and they

7:28

ask the leaders, you let

7:30

us know when it's a good time to be

7:32

there. This is not the time for a sound

7:34

bite. And what it reminds me of is, Alyssa,

7:36

you were saying yesterday, Donald

7:38

Trump's MO is purely fear

7:41

based politics. People have lost

7:43

their lives, they've lost their homes, they have

7:45

nothing. They lost their family members. And

7:47

their pets and everything. To tell them in

7:49

their most dire moments that no one's coming

7:51

for you is just for them. It will

7:53

happen again if project 2025 goes into effect.

7:57

They want to eliminate FEMA, the weather. The

8:00

service, the employment of education, anything

8:02

that helps us. But to

8:04

Sarah's point, what I hate about

8:06

this is he's politicizing tragedy. And

8:10

you know, my father lives in Florida. He

8:12

can't return to his home. His home, all

8:15

the floors are destroyed, right? And

8:18

so he's living with friends. He's gonna come to New York

8:20

and live with me. This is

8:22

a tragedy. People have lost their lives. And

8:25

I love what be the way you said when

8:27

he was president. That

8:30

he's not president because when he was president,

8:32

as Joy mentioned, he was a

8:34

disaster during disasters. He

8:37

threatened to withhold money from governors of blue

8:39

states, whom he saw as enemies. He

8:42

proposed cutting the budget of the

8:44

agency responsible for disaster relief, FEMA,

8:47

and his top officials diverted that

8:49

money away from FEMA to

8:52

deal with immigration enforcement during

8:54

natural disasters. FEMA was

8:56

understaffed throughout the Trump administration. And

8:59

finally, he withheld and delayed, and

9:01

I take this personally, $20 billion

9:05

in hurricane eight to Puerto Rico, and

9:07

then also threatened to withhold wildfire assistance to

9:09

California. So if you live in a blue

9:11

state, you will be screwed if anything happens

9:14

to you. If anything happens to you. Or

9:16

a red state that he doesn't vote for

9:18

immediately. Or a red state that he has

9:20

to pay. But then it's not a red

9:22

state. And it doesn't matter if he votes.

9:24

He doesn't know how to lead. He's not

9:26

gonna be able to provide resources to him.

9:28

He's not the president right now. And I'm

9:30

sick of people calling him Mr. President. I'm

9:32

sick of it. He's not the president. He

9:34

has not been presidential. He has not offered

9:36

the American people a hand, a

9:39

kind word. I'm

9:41

sorry. It's

9:44

really important that we all get out and

9:46

vote. And you vote how you vote, okay?

9:48

You vote how you vote. Try

9:52

to do it. But I'm begging

9:54

you. I'm

9:56

begging you. Don't vote

9:59

against your own. best

10:01

interests. This man has

10:03

not done anything for he didn't

10:05

sign those checks out of the

10:08

goodness of his art. No. He

10:10

did not do any of those

10:12

things that people have put it

10:14

in their minds. He sent me

10:16

a check. He didn't. He didn't.

10:19

Congress in Utah. And he treated the,

10:21

there was an official, and you may

10:23

even know the person, it's a former

10:25

administration official. He said that Trump treated

10:27

streams of money for

10:30

disasters as a pot of

10:32

cash for him to dole out as he

10:34

saw fit depending on how he personally was

10:36

treated. And shout out to FEMA, one of

10:38

the most effective agencies I ever worked with

10:40

in government. Don't cut their funding, support them.

10:42

Yes. Support FEMA. Who knows what

10:45

we're going to need it. But

10:47

we want to tell you this, to

10:50

find out how you can help those

10:52

impacted by Hurricane Helene. You

10:54

need to go to our website. And when you're

10:56

thinking about things people need, sanitary

10:59

napkins, diapers, baby

that you take for granted, because nothing's happening

11:05

to us up here, those are the things

11:07

people are going to need. So please check

11:10

us out and do whatever you can

11:13

if you're able. And we'll be right

11:15

11:23

you think about businesses that are

11:25

selling through the roof, like Allo,

11:27

Jim shark or Heinz, sure, you

11:29

think about a great product, a

11:31

cool brand and brilliant marketing, but

11:33

an often overlooked secret is actually

11:35

the businesses behind the business making

11:37

selling and for shoppers buying simple.

11:40

For millions of businesses, that business

11:42

is Shopify. Nobody

11:45

does selling better than Shopify. It's the

11:47

home of the number one checkout on

11:49

the planet. Businesses that sell more sell

11:51

on Shopify. The secret's out. Businesses that

11:53

want to grow, grow with Shopify. And

11:55

13:51

Chapel Rowan canceled

13:53

some recent gigs after

13:55

being overhelmed about the

13:57

backlash overwhelmed. I say.

14:00

about the backlash over

14:02

her recent political statements. But

14:05

Shazam star Zachary Levi

14:07

says he's aware of the

14:09

consequences he faces over going

14:11

MAGA. Take a look.

14:14

We are going to take back

14:16

this country. We are going to make it

14:18

great again. Within my industry, as you can

14:20

probably imagine, Hollywood is a very, very liberal

14:22

town, and this very well could constitute career

14:24

suicide. So,

14:26

okay. That's

14:30

not necessarily true. From

14:34

the beginning of Hollywood, there have been, it's

14:37

always been a very right leaning town,

14:39

but I know you don't know much

14:41

about the Hollywood history, so let me

14:43

school you. We

14:46

are like America as

14:48

we're mixed. We're a mixed bunch,

14:51

and sometimes it may seem like

14:53

there's more Democrats, and sometimes it

14:55

seems like there's more Republicans,

14:59

but the truth of the matter is, very

15:01

few people seem to

15:03

bite it because they're Republican.

15:06

John Voight, who is working.

15:09

Dennis Quaid. Dennis Quaid, who is

15:12

working. People are working, stop that.

15:14

It's more BS, and it's unnecessary.

15:17

Chavarrona, she said she got a lot

15:19

of backlash, and she was overwhelming for

15:21

her, and it can be. It

15:24

can be. So the question they

15:26

have here is, a celebrity endorsement

15:28

bound to piss someone off? Yes, wasn't

15:31

it? Because you got a 50-50

15:33

chance of stepping in full. This

15:38

chapel wrong girl, she

15:40

is on the fence. She doesn't know, she just doesn't

15:42

know what to do. She was

15:44

just gonna vote for Vice President Harris.

15:46

But it's a faint praise, and I

15:48

feel as though she's part of the

15:51

LGBTQ community, and she

15:53

should know that the other side

15:55

is anti-transgender, they're anti-gay rights.

15:57

They will probably, if he gets into office,

16:00

God forbid, they will roll back

16:02

their marriage. I mean, she needs to know

16:04

that. She has an issue though with the

16:06

current administration's politics in the Middle East. I

16:08

actually disagree with her on this point, but

16:10

that's why she didn't feel comfortable endorsing her.

16:12

And this is the problem they put celebrities

16:14

in. If you are a politically active, any

16:16

human citizen, whether you're a celebrity or anything

16:18

else, I point it purposely here. I see.

16:21

You know, you can do what you feel comfortable with,

16:23

but when people do these gotcha moments in interviews, I'm

16:25

like, what have we done? Half of their audience is

16:27

gonna hate them at the end of whatever their answer

16:30

is. And they're here to

16:32

entertain. As Reba McIntyre once said, I am here

16:34

to bring people together through art. So I

16:37

don't mind when people speak up if they

16:39

feel passionately, but we should be not forcing

16:41

the hand. No, we're in an emergency. We're

16:43

in an emergency in this country. This is

16:45

not Eisenhower years. But I do think if

16:47

your art is great, it speaks for itself.

16:49

Like, Chaperone is incredible. She's not gonna lose

16:52

fans over this. This is just, that is

16:54

a fact. I'm not as familiar with the

16:56

other actor, but if you've got the skill,

16:58

you're going to be fine. I think we

17:00

put this undue pressure that people have to come out

17:02

and endorse just because they have a platform. You can

17:05

speak on issues you care about that you might be

17:07

personally really involved in and that you care more about.

17:09

It's just, it ends up being a lose-lose and then

17:11

we dissect everything that they say. I'm

17:14

gonna disagree because I think that

17:16

we are at an inflection point

17:18

in our country. This

17:21

election matters more than any

17:23

election of my lifetime. We

17:25

may not have elections after

17:28

this election if the former

17:30

president wins. And so if you have

17:32

a platform and you are willing to

17:34

use it, heavy is the head

17:36

that wears the crown. I don't

17:38

care who you're endorsing. I don't care

17:40

if you're endorsing the former president. I

17:43

don't care if you're endorsing Madam Vice

17:45

President, but I do care if you're

17:47

not engaged. Well, she endorsed her. She

17:49

said she would do it. Listen, people

17:52

have all kinds of reasons. People

17:54

have all kinds of reasons to

17:57

do as much as they are comfortable doing.

18:00

because it is very dangerous out there. People get

18:02

smacked in the face by people. We get it

18:04

all the time. Yeah, we get it all the

18:06

time, but those folks who

18:08

are new to this don't

18:11

know how this goes. They have no

18:13

idea. So I'm gonna just simply say,

18:16

you are not, you don't have to say

18:18

what you want to do. But you should

18:20

vote. We should vote. If you decide that

18:22

you want to speak up, speak up and

18:24

speak up, because that's, you're proud to say

18:26

this is where I am. If you're not

18:28

there, I get it. But

18:30

you can't sit back and not vote, which

18:32

no one has said. Yeah. No one

18:34

has said they're not voting. So, everybody

18:37

in the audience, everybody who's watching, lighten

18:39

up on people. Okay, just lighten up.

18:41

They're just trying to be, just

18:44

trying to be, lighten up. You

18:46

know? We

18:48

18:50

that isn't ours to take, but we take

18:52

it. But when you're dealing with the young

18:54

ones who have just gotten there, lighten up

18:56

on them. Let them get a chance to

18:59

figure out who they are and what they

19:01

actually believe. And we know that's true because

19:03

we come and we go. Mm-hmm. Like

19:05

the wind. We'll be right

19:07

back. You

19:20

19:34

Welcome back. 37-year-old

19:41

reality star, Kristen

19:43

Cavallari, just

19:46

cleared up speculation about

19:48

why she broke off

19:50

things with 24-year-old TikTok

19:53

influencer, Mark Estes. Thank

19:57

you. Take

20:01

a look. He's been the best boyfriend

20:03

I've ever had. I just

20:06

know long term,

20:09

he needs to experience life. I look

20:11

back when I was 24 and

20:13

how much life has happened for me in between then.

20:15

And I mean, those

20:18

are crucial years. Those

20:21

are formative years. This is

20:23

when you find yourself and I actually think

20:25

one day he will thank me. I'll

20:27

tell you what, I'll tell you what

20:30

his mother is thinking her. His

20:39

frontal lobe is not even developed. And

20:42

she's got a 12 year old, a 10 year old and an 8 year

20:44

old. That

20:47

20, yes ma'am. And

20:50

that 24 year old young man

20:53

cannot be responsible for a 12 year old, a

20:55

10 year old and an 8 year old. Kristin,

20:59

what's the name? Kristin. 24 year old guys

21:01

do not grow on trees. Okay,

21:04

who cares if he's not worldly?

21:07

Can he find your G-spot? That's what we need

21:09

to know. And also, let

21:12

me say something. I always

21:14

have young, my husband is 7 years younger than

21:16

me. I had a boyfriend who

21:18

couldn't pronounce any net words but he was so

21:20

good. He was 10 years younger than me. You

21:23

want somebody to wheel you around. You

21:25

don't want to be a nurse

21:27

to somebody. Go for the younger guys ladies.

21:29

She said it was the best sex she

21:32

ever had. It might not be

21:34

the season of daddy, but it is. The

21:36

girl is at her sexual peak at 40 and

21:38

he's at his at 24. Go

21:41

for it. Don't be stupid.

21:44

Okay, whatever you decide to do,

21:46

keep it to yourself. We'll be

21:48

right back. You're

22:00

22:58

you for having me. I'd like

23:00

to begin tonight by attempting a

23:02

casual lean. Got

23:09

it. We're going to demand that we look at all

23:11

the names. If the name

23:13

is me, Thorpe Zandar, and the

23:15

address is Maas, we're going

23:18

to get those ballots thrown out. I

23:20

like my men like I like my

23:22

decisions. Five-four. That's

23:25

a third-degree Ginsburg. After

23:34

years of stealing the show as one

23:36

of the longest-running cast members on SNL,

23:40

the considerable talents of

23:42

Emmy-winning actor-comedian, fascinating woman

23:44

Kate McKernan are on

23:46

full display in her

23:48

debut novel for young

23:50

readers. It's called

23:52

the Millicent Quibb School of

23:55

Etiquette for Young Girls of

23:57

Mad Science. Please

24:00

welcome the most fabulous, Kate

24:02

McKinnon. Yes! Please,

24:27

tell them. I'm going to tell her

24:29

I'm safe. Um... It's

24:31

my first... Yeah. I'm

24:36

sorry, I had to kiss every... It's rude not to kiss.

24:39

It's my first time at The View. I'm a

24:41

virgin. Be gentle. Bye. Thank

24:43

you. The first thing you're going to get

24:46

from The View is a little cold. Okay,

24:48

that's what I got. So, heads up. No

24:50

problem. Too late. I'll take

24:52

it. So worth getting me from you,

24:54

too. Okay. You're magnificent,

24:56

by the way. You too. We

24:58

all love you on SNL. And...

25:02

You're phenomenal. Your impressions were always spot on. So

25:05

can you tell me, what's the key to a good impression,

25:07

and did you ever have a favorite one? There

25:11

he is. Seems

25:15

the key is dancing, you know. And I... Yes,

25:18

well, I loved doing impressions, but

25:20

my favorite ones did always involve

25:22

dancing. So like Ruth Bader Ginsburg,

25:25

Justin Bieber. I just... It's

25:27

if you can just find a reason to move,

25:30

you know. It's fun. It's fun

25:32

for everyone. Yeah. Do you study

25:35

a long time and like sound, like when you try

25:37

to get the voice, like go back and forth with

25:39

the TV? I do study. I study a lot, but

25:41

then it's always just one little snippet of something. Like

25:44

with Hillary Clinton, there was this

25:46

one moment, I couldn't get it, and then there was this...

25:49

She did this thing with her arms for two

25:51

seconds in a clip, one clip like this. And

25:53

I was... That's it.

25:55

So, you know, watch out. Rudy with the

25:57

hands, you were great. Yeah. So,

26:01

Kate, the view has been spoofed quite a

26:03

bit on SNL. Yes, it has. Normally,

26:08

Whoopi and I are portrayed by men. But

26:13

you... I

26:19

mean, it was actually thrilling for me

26:22

to see an actual female do me,

26:24

this watch. Okay,

26:26

so my turn? Yeah. Hot

26:28

take alert. I don't like

26:30

Trump. Trump, Trump, what a chump. Trump,

26:32

Trump, what a dump. Okay, look, it's my 2000th show

26:35

at this point. I get paid by the word. Well,

26:43

you know, they say you haven't made it until

26:45

you're spoofed by Kate McKinnon. Well...

26:47

So there you have it. That was... That

26:51

was the... It was the day before I wanted

26:53

to do... I wanted to do the most fabulous Joy

26:55

Behar that had ever been done. I

26:58

just didn't have... You know, sometimes it didn't...

27:00

It just doesn't come... Like, with the Rudy

27:02

Giuliani. Yeah. That was

27:04

like a Friday night. They were like,

27:06

you're doing Rudy tomorrow. I was like, no. Really?

27:08

No. No.

27:11

A step too far. What do you

27:14

think of me? What do you think I look like? What

27:16

are you saying? Anyway, I did it. It

27:19

was okay. I adore you

27:21

and I... It was an

27:23

honor. Well, I thank you, but you didn't... You

27:25

had to top... So what? Who cares? You

27:28

had to top that. So that must have been

27:30

daunting also. It was incredibly daunting. There was a

27:32

lot... You know... Yes. You

27:34

nailed it at the Trump... Trump. Oh,

27:36

Joy Behar. That's it. That's

27:38

about right. That sketch

27:40

was written by people who really know and love

27:42

the show. And they really nailed it. They really...

27:44

And they hate them too. So... I heard

27:48

that when you were a kid, there

27:50

was someone else from the view that you would

27:52

impersonate at school to get left. Who was

27:54

that? Oh, yes. So this was in the

27:56

era... I grew up in the Cheri Oteri

27:58

Anagaster, Malachandran era of S.T. You know, and

28:01

obviously Shariot Terry did this fabulous

28:04

Barbara Walters that I

28:06

then did in middle school. Yeah.

28:09

I love it. Everyone

28:11

loved this Barbara Walters impression at

28:14

my middle school. And it's my

28:16

first, come on. I

28:19

don't, all I remember was they

28:21

did, the theme

28:23

song of the view was, here comes

28:25

a view, I'm totally new, this

28:28

is the view, I'm in my birthday

28:30

suit. I will never, I'll

28:32

never forget it. This

28:34

was, that was the queen of my

28:37

heart. She would do it like a,

28:39

you've interviewed, I've interviewed world leaders and

28:41

you're one of them, but why the

28:43

porn? Shariot would

28:45

do it, that's what Shariot. We

28:48

miss Barbara. Yes, I miss Barbara. Well,

28:51

we'll talk about your fabulous new book. What?

28:55

Right, right, right? Shall

28:57

we talk about that? Shall we? Because

29:01

it's truly fabulous. I finished a

29:04

book. Fabulous book. I wrote it,

29:06

I can't believe I finished it. It's a

29:08

fabulous book, it's called The Millicent Quibb School

29:10

of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Math Science.

29:12

Yes. Thank you, all the

29:14

things. Now when you're talking

29:16

about actually finishing it, you started it years

29:18

ago, even before you started at SNL. So

29:21

it's been in the works. Yes, it's been like 12

29:23

years. For 12 years. My

29:25

question is, why did you wanna start and

29:30

target middle school readers? Because

29:32

they're horrible little people at

29:34

that age. Oh. No,

29:38

they're not. I see. They're

29:40

lovely, middle school people are great.

29:43

No, no, two reasons. A, I

29:46

love magic, I love Roald Dahl, I

29:48

love Lemmy Snicket, I love all that

29:50

stuff. And then I also, I believe

29:52

in young people and I believe that

29:54

if you inspire them to

29:58

just be themselves, then. and they can go

30:00

on to create actual change in the world.

30:03

And we can. Yeah. Yeah. That's

30:06

my favorite genre of literature. Yeah.

30:08

And it's wonderful that it's about

30:10

girls and science. I love that.

30:12

Girls and science, it's important. Yeah.

30:15

Let's get to that. I like that a lot. I

30:17

like that a lot. Now,

30:19

you said the book was inspired by your own

30:21

childhood and you dedicated it to your mother. I

30:23

did, yes. What were you like as

30:25

a kid? Oh, I know. I know.

30:28

I love you, Mama. My

30:30

mom. I'm pretty. I know, she's gorgeous. You're

30:32

pretty, yeah. No, she's gorgeous. Which one are

30:34

you? I don't. I don't

30:36

know. I don't know the one on the right one. We're

30:38

twins. Yeah. No, no. So

30:40

my mom's a social worker and she is

30:42

like, yes. Yes.

30:45

I'm getting it with everything. Yes.

30:47

She's an iconoclast in her own

30:49

right and she was always like,

30:52

my mom was a puberty educator

30:54

at one point and she gave

30:56

all the girls tiaras to celebrate

30:59

their menage instead of making a

31:01

decision. So she just always encouraged

31:03

me to be exactly what I wanted to be and

31:05

she let me have an iguana and she let me

31:07

take apart the VCR and

31:10

do all these crazy things. And so. Which one?

31:13

Yeah, oh, that's my iguana. Yeah, that

31:15

was, we had a contentious relationship

31:17

that we don't wanna talk about. You and the

31:19

iguana? Yeah, yeah. Very quickly, I wanna ask you

31:22

about Barbie because we loved you as weird Barbie.

31:24

Oh, thank you. What

31:27

was it like to be part of such a phenomena?

31:30

It was absolutely wild. Oh my gosh. The

31:32

weird Barbie was so much fun. I loved

31:34

it. It was my favorite. I

31:37

wasn't doing all those stunts with my own body

31:39

by the way. No,

31:41

no, oh my gosh, that was so fun. I mean,

31:43

look at the sets just to be on something that

31:45

was. Look at your makeup, it's so subtle. No, and

31:48

the hair, the hair's so awful. I

31:50

had that Barbie. That's the Barbie I

31:52

had. That's what my Barbie looked like.

31:56

Mine as well, I didn't even have them. They

31:58

were just destroyed. They were heavy. and

32:00

tails and the body parts on the

32:02

street. Yes. But no, it

32:05

was, I mean, the sets and

32:07

Greta Gerwig, the director, I went

32:09

to college with her and so she just called me and

32:11

she was like, I know. Amazing. Yes.

32:15

And she called me and

32:18

she was like, I'm doing the Barbie movie and I have

32:20

this Barbie for you. I don't know if you're gonna like

32:22

the idea. It's called Weird Barbie. And I was like, amen.

32:26

I've got my plane ticket already. When do

32:28

I show up? Because, hello,

32:30

we're Barbie. Oh my God. We're

32:33

making it. We're making it autobiographical. You

32:36

know what? You know what,

32:38

we're Barbie. You are welcome at

32:41

this weird ass table every time.

32:44

Yes. We're

32:48

all fans of yours. So it would be

32:51

quite a thing to have you for an

32:53

hour. And you as well. So think about

32:55

it. Thank you. I will. No, I'm stuck.

32:58

But our thanks to Kate

33:34

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

33:37

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

33:41

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Welcome

33:44

back to new documentary. Patrice

33:46

the movie shines a much needed

33:48

light on the next phase

33:50

of marriage equality. People with

33:53

disabilities. It's all about

33:55

taking you on a journey with

33:57

someone you just have to meet. Take

34:00

a look. Hi,

34:02

my name is Patrice. I

34:07

am a totally cool person

34:09

with a disability who could

34:12

do most anything, with

34:14

the exception of bungee jumping,

34:17

pyrotechnics, and

34:20

uber-dangerous stunts, because

34:23

then I need a stunt double for that.

34:26

Yeah. Patrice

34:28

is a big magnet for people.

34:31

She is, hands down, the most

34:34

famous cross-guard in

34:36

Hamilton Township. She might as

34:38

well be Madonna. Please

34:44

welcome Patrice Jenner, the

34:47

movie's director, Ted

34:49

Passion. So,

34:53

Patrice, the film is called Patrice the Movie.

34:56

Patrice the Movie, yes. And

34:58

not only are you the star of this film, but

35:00

you're also credited as a scriptwriter and a

35:02

production designer. What's it like to see your

35:05

name up in lights like that on the

35:07

title of your very own movie? Tell us.

35:10

Well, words can't describe how

35:12

it is. It's the most

35:15

amazing thing ever. Yeah.

35:18

Right. I love that. And,

35:20

Patrice, clearly this is apparent now, but

35:22

your spirit shines through every inch of this film.

35:26

We also get to know your long-time partner, Gary, who's

35:28

here in the audience. And

35:30

we get to see

35:32

how much love and laughter there

35:34

is between the two of you. How did

35:37

you meet and what keeps you laughing? Because

35:39

I'm guessing you might be the impetus for

35:41

that. Well, me

35:43

and Gary met over 35 years ago in

35:47

a sheltered workshop for people

35:49

with disabilities. And because

35:51

we just hit it

35:53

off with our personalities we would just

35:55

start laughing at work. And

35:58

there were times that I'll supervise you. would

36:00

have to separate us and we

36:03

would still be laughing from the other side

36:05

of the room. And

36:07

the rest is history. And we

36:10

just have that kind of chemistry.

36:12

Yeah. That happens. Oh, I love

36:14

that. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

36:16

Wow. Wow. Now,

36:18

Ted, you're the director of this

36:20

wonderful film. And you and Patrice have known each other

36:22

for over 20 years. How

36:25

did you meet? That's right. We

36:27

met through Patrice's niece, who's a

36:29

brilliant singer-songwriter named Kimia Dawson, who I made

36:31

a music video for right out of college.

36:34

And so she would come to town a couple times a year.

36:37

We were friends. Patrice would come and hang out. And we just

36:39

got to know each other over the years. And

36:41

I just fell in love with her immediately. And

36:44

I always just felt like, oh, we should do something together. And

36:46

then a few years ago, I worked

36:48

on a series for Netflix called Warren Stories. And

36:51

we got Patrice in one of the episodes

36:53

and realized she's very comfortable on camera, as

36:55

it turns out, not a surprise. I couldn't

36:57

see that. And yeah, so the creator of

37:00

the show is

37:02

a friend of mine and a producer on the

37:04

project, Emily. We were just like, oh, maybe there's

37:06

something more to do with Patrice. And here we

37:09

are. And here you are. And it's an important

37:11

film, right, Ted? Because Patrice and

37:13

Gary want to live together and get

37:15

married, like countless other couples out there.

37:18

But as is revealed in the film,

37:20

that presents a major issue for them,

37:22

as well as for other people with

37:24

disabilities, which I don't think many people

37:26

know about until it's too late. Can

37:28

you tell us what that

37:30

situation looks like? Yeah, if you're disabled

37:32

in this country and you collect Social

37:34

Security benefits and you're on Medicaid, two

37:37

people collect benefits, get married together. Their benefits either

37:39

get cut or, depending on where they are in

37:41

the system, they could just lose their

37:44

benefits entirely. And they can

37:46

also lose their Medicaid. And so for most

37:48

couples, it's deciding between having health insurance or

37:50

getting to be together. And it's

37:52

not even just getting legally married. If you

37:55

even just live together, you're treated as married

37:57

by the system, even if it's not legal.

38:00

And so that's not an option

38:02

either. You can't even just move in together.

38:04

Yeah. Your benefits are taken away regardless. Well,

38:06

Patrice, you've been to Washington DC to officiate

38:09

a beautiful commitment ceremony for other couples in

38:11

love who come up against what you guys

38:13

call the marriage penalty. What has that been

38:15

like to be, and you've also done advocacy

38:18

work in DC. What was that experience like?

38:21

Well, that was an amazing experience

38:23

because I had never been to

38:26

Washington DC before. And

38:28

it was also great that a lot

38:30

of couples from all over the country

38:32

turned up. So there's a

38:35

lot of people that really want

38:37

to make this change. And

38:39

I think that this movie can help

38:41

make that change and help a lot

38:43

of people. Actually, as

38:45

a matter of fact. You

38:51

got some very surprising news last night. So

38:53

the film just came out yesterday on Hulu.

38:55

And at the end of the day, the

38:57

Social Security Administration put out a statement saying

39:00

we'd like to acknowledge Patrice Jeter and her

39:02

partner Gary and the makers of Patrice the

39:04

Movie and let the world know

39:06

that we are ready to make certain changes.

39:08

And we would like to remind you that

39:10

Congress is the ones that initiate those changes.

39:12

So as soon as Congress is ready, we

39:14

are happy to help them. So we're hoping

39:17

this is the beginning of that change. Oh,

39:19

that's new. Yeah, that's new. Thank

39:21

you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank

39:23

you. So

39:27

maybe we should say, since we've

39:29

had the

39:31

president on, we

39:34

can actually write a note to

39:37

remind him that maybe one of the things

39:39

he should think about doing before

39:42

he ends his term

39:45

is fixing this. Yeah. Yeah.

39:47

That's so nice of you. Yeah. So

39:51

let us see if we can push anything,

39:53

push anybody, and say this is what's going

39:56

on. This is one of the things that

39:58

happens, Patrice, when they want me. I need

40:00

to stop talking. I

40:02

slow down just because I'm bad.

40:05

But Patrice, the movie is

40:07

streaming right now on Hulu. And

40:10

if you don't have Hulu, get Hulu. Because

40:14

you're going to find out a lot of things that

40:16

are going to surprise you, and not all of them

40:18

are going to make you happy. So you can get

40:20

on board to help. We'll be right back. I'm
