Summary of conversation [Spoiler (click to open)]
[I love his voice. He looks super fine]. He just got his hands and feet done at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. PS talks his history and wanting to visit there. Name drops Ben Kingsley. Shows old photo. Ben got his star on Walk of Fame first, but PS got his marker at Grauman’s first, so they’re even.

As per Alex Kaufman and PS and the showrunners, PS formally invites Whoopi to the second season, reprising her role as Guinan, crowd cheers! Whoopi talks about her time on Star Trek TNG and that it was one of the best experiences ever. Whoopi tears up. PS explains the premise, he and his character has aged 18 years. Talks about working out story with Alex Kaufman and writers and so on. Society is different now, needed that to be incorporated. Whoopi stays emotional. Panel talks about how much she loved being on the show. Whoopi says (she thinks) her character was the last one that Gene Rodenberry created for the Star Trek universe.

ICYMI Dolt45 said live from Davos today that the House Managers don’t have the evidence, that the WH has the evidence, which is -of course- something someone would say who has already been impeached for obstruction of justice. Expect that live clip to eventually air on the Senate floor during the trial.

House Manager Val Demings (D-FL) joins by satellite. Plays clip. First shows Demings speaking on the Senate floor. First impeachment process for her and four of her fellow House managers. Says they’re prepared to do the work. Shocking is that every Senator took an oath but they lied when voting against every Schumer motion. Joy said Mitch made concessions, each side has 3 days. The GOP had no coherent defense at all, while the House Managers shined. Demings touts their strategy, summarizes their first day.

Sunny brings up rumor of a deal that [Joe or Hunter] Biden would testify in exchange for Bolton to testify. Demings sidesteps the details. They want material witnesses that have direct knowledge. Bolton has direct knowledge, the drug deal, as said during Fiona Hill’s testimony. Whereas [Joe or Hunter] Biden have no knowledge of any of this. Thinks Dolt45 is trying to turn a serious trial into a circus. They want witnesses and documents, and believes the leadership will work it out. Demings says their job is to communicate to the American people and see witnesses and see documents. Americans need to say, what is T45 so afraid of by withholding people and documents. He betrayed his oath then obstructed everything to investigate what happened. Whoopi says they need to do like they do in church, get some fans, it’s hot, keep people awake.


Hot Topic Poll Says Black Voters are Moderate

Pew Research Poll found that a majority of black democratic voters consider themselves moderate. How much should candidates read into this, and /to Sunny/ did you get a call. Joy wonders if it’s pragmatic and not pie in the sky, they’re in reality because maybe they know some things might never happen. Sunny wonders why she gets these crazy comments about her being a lefty, when she’s a Catholic prosecutor. She is personally pro-life but she believes in free thought so she feels abortion should be legal. She herself considers her personal beliefs are more conservative, moderates appeal to her. Whoopi thinks anyone who paints with a broad brush is a bad thing. A Pew poll isn’t going to dictate who she is.


Hot Topic Warren Cabinet Half Women

[I just realized that cut sounds like her Cabinet might be Centaurs lol but Idc I'm not changing it]

Whoopi wonders if it’s a campaign promise she can keep. Joy wonders why say it now. Maybe people might like it but if you can’t deliver on it, then you’re stuck. Thinks it’s great in idea but maybe the right person (cabinet member) might be a guy, look at Betsy Devos. Sunny brings up T45 Cabinet. Whoopi doesn’t like her saying it because it makes it seems like people only vote on gender or race (mentions Obama). Sunny doesn’t mind identity politics but she doesn’t call it that, she’s a human, a woman, a black woman, a Latina woman. It’s her identity, and she thinks it’s a deflection when it’s called that. Whoopi feels it’s how people say to you that you’re not smart enough to figure out who you really like. Sunny feels like it’s more about the person asking the question or saying it, than the person they’re talking to or about. Whoopi doesn’t want to be told that you’re voting for her because she’s a woman, she wants votes because she’s the right person. Sunny and Meghan continue to disagree, clip cuts out.

Whoopi says everyone wants Hillary to be real, but then she’s real, and they’re like No, don’t be that real. Joy says maybe she wants Biden to be the nominee. Whoopi says maybe she just doesn’t like Bernie. Sunny says maybe she’s being honest and transparent, and we’re just past Warren confronting Sanders calling Warren a liar during the debate. Joy brings up the beer analogy again, from yesterday. Whoopi talks gobbley gook. Then says, it still doesn’t change the fact that Hillary doesn’t like him. Joy diverts to Warren being electable, how is she that different than Sanders. Sunny feels Warren is more centrist. Sunny thinks Sanders is a curmudgeon. Brings up recent interview where he’s not the guy who is interested in basic pleasantries, doesn't like to wish people happy birthday. Sunny wants a Potus who understands diplomacy, who can handle the pleasantries. Joy says at some point it will be the criminal in the WH, or someone else, and she’s [Hillary] going to support ~the someone else.

The actual quote
If he [Sanders] gets the nomination, will you endorse and campaign for him? I'm not going to go there yet. We're still in a very vigorous primary season.


Hot Topic One Person Doesn’t Like Derek Jeter

Derek Jeter was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame but missed a unanimous vote by one person. Whoopi says, WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?! Like who is this one person who wouldn’t make it unanimous. Joy thinks it was probably someone who was on an opposing team against the NY Yankees. Whoopi says no one ever says anything bad about him. That’s the whole clip. For real.
