Summary

Sunny Hostin sits down with executive producer Brian Teta to weigh in on singers backing out of performing at President Trump’s American 250 celebration. She takes a trip down memory lane, revealing the first album she ever bought, her first concert—and what she yelled at Bobby Brown as a teenager. Sunny reacts to judges halting Trump’s $1.7 billion “anti‑weaponization” fund and explains why the decision restored her faith in the justice system. She also discusses reports that more than 10,000 federal government lawyers have left their roles, and what that could mean moving forward. She previews the show’s upcoming interview with Dr. Jill Biden and shares what she’s hoping to ask. Sunny also gives an update on her Mother’s Day disagreement with her husband Manny—revealing whether he’s been unblocked—and wraps with her surprise at learning her son Gabe moved to Costa Rica.
