Summary

Alyssa Farah Griffin sits down with executive producer Brian Teta to break down what could be done to stop Trump’s anti‑weaponization fund—and why she believes it could ultimately be challenged and blocked in the courts. She reflects on the end of an era with Stephen Colbert and explains why his cancellation may actually prove his influence is stronger than ever. Alyssa also discusses why it’s possible to support certain policies, like Trump Rx, while still being a vocal critic of President Trump, saying, “I don’t want Americans to keep hurting just to stick it to Donald Trump.” The conversation turns personal as Alyssa opens up about the mom guilt she experiences as a working mother and wraps with her evolving take on the ongoing 'Summer House' drama.

0:49.8

Let's dive right into hot topics because we're seeing some pushback from the right now on this $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, known on the view as a slush fund.

0:53.1

Is there any stopping this? I'm starting to think maybe there is.

0:56.5

Well, by the way, I want to point out that we round up to $1.8 billion.

1:04.9

It's actually $1.776 billion in honor of our nation's founding in the 250 years of America, which is just so bizarre.
