Hi there, everyone. Welcome to the best people. As we reflect on 2025 and prepare for the new year,

we thought it would be a good time to share an episode we recorded back in September. It blends the themes of comedy and friendship and community with my dear friend and former co-host on The View, Rosie O'Donnell.

Rosie and I talked about her decision to move to Ireland, her decades-long feud with Donald Trump, and how much power we the people really have when we decide to harness it.

With that, this is the best people and this is Rosie O'Donnell.

People saying I'm canceling my trip to Disney.

I'm canceling my Hulu, my Disney Plus.

$4 billion in four days.

Bravo America.

And this is how much power we have.

And don't let them tell you we don't.

Hi, everyone, and welcome to the Best People podcast.

This week's guest is known the world over. She's an icon known for making people laugh. And these days, making a lot of us think really hard and really deeply about the things happening around us to other humans. She and I were cast originally as political adversaries. Luckily for me, we have since become

friends and allies. My deepest, deepest thanks to you, Rosie O'Donnell, for appearing on the

Best People podcast. Thank you so much.

Well, I'll do whatever you need, Nicole.

We had our magical flight where we sat together to Miami, and everything shifted, and it was a beautiful thing.

I mean, I think that's a great place to start because I think that maybe the whole country is locked in these castings as enemies,

and you never saw people that way. And I understand now that your pain wasn't about politics,

it was about things that people were doing to humans. And I wonder, as someone who I know

feels everything, how you're doing. You know, I will say that I came here out of self-preservation.

You know, some people said, oh, you're making a political statement.

I didn't tell anyone I was moving.
