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. I read Project 2025 and I saw that he won and I called my therapist and said,

I need to go to Ireland. This was the only place. I'm a hundred percent Irish. I was here as a little

kid after my mother died. And, you know, this is where my people are.

So I went to my people. And it was totally because I knew how badly I did during his first term.

And I knew now that I had a daughter about to be 12, that I needed to be present, awake, and aware for the

teenage years. They're not easy, and they're not easy when you're 63. So I adopted this baby at 50,

and I owe her the best part of me, and I couldn't afford the risk of being completely debilitated

by what was about to happen, and everything I feared and everything I read in that book has come true.
