Summary

Ana Navarro, co-host of The View and host of the new podcast Bleep!, joins Sam to talk about how she’s been boycotting DC for almost two years and what might finally bring her back there. They bond over how Donald Trump has aged them (their necks specifically), and Sam marvels at Ana’s insane schedule. Ana talks about how the restrictions of network TV and her urgent need to swear led her to start her new podcast, and explains why the 25th Amendment will never actually be invoked by this Cabinet. They talk about why the signs at the No Kings protests are so good, the importance of walking away from your phone sometimes, and a hope that the Pope could excommunicate JD Vance. *This episode was recorded before the White House Correspondents Dinner* Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.

0:35.4	lot of wisdom along the way.
0:37.1	Listen now only on Amazon music,
0:39.5	included with Prime. It feels like every day this administration does something where it feels
0:50.2	like the cruelty is the point, or like they're purposefully dragging us back to the
0:55.1	Stone Ages. They want to give us biblical plagues, take away women's rights, or yeah, you know
1:00.4	what, you guessed it, kill you by firing squad. Oh, yeah. Okay, firing squad. Wow, wow. I just,
1:09.6	I just really have some real choice words for the members of the
1:12.9	Justice Department who just reauthorized the use of firing squad for capital punishment executions.
1:19.1	I'm sorry. Why is that now? Because President Trump doesn't think the U.S. is moving fast enough
1:23.9	to kill inmates on death row. And, you know, because everything he does is about sport and entertainment, don't be surprised
1:33.9	when he wants to host the first firing squad execution in the White House Rose Garden.
1:37.6	Or, you know what, whatever is left of it, I suppose.
1:56.2	This is Choice Words.
