You do look great, and thank you for being here,
because I know you're very busy, and we called you last minute.
Thank you for being here today, too.
Well, sure.
I have to be here.
That's right.
Yeah.
That's right, it's your show.
That's right, it is.
So you posted.
You post a lot of things about your workouts.
There's drinking after your workout.
You work out and then you drink.
I work out with a trainer.
I will only work out with trainer who
wants to celebrate afterwards.
So you-- you drink immediately afterwards?
Sometimes during the workout.
Really?
It depends what kind of mood I'm in.
If I don't feel like moving out, yes a margarita
or some small vodka will help.
What time do you work out?
Sometimes in the morning, whenever I feel like it, Ellen.
That's when.
Wow.
All right.
So this is what this he makes you do.
That's me pushing a sled up his hill.
Yeah.
Oh that's his hill.
That's his-- well we could call it my hill, sure.
Right.
Oh and then you have to control it the way down?
Oh there you go.
Oh, that seems harder.
That wasn't easy.
No.
No, and then how much weight was on that?
Just my two tickets right here.
Each one of these is about 10 pounds.
I don't even need to I use weights.
You don't even need a sled.
Let's talk about you're very political,
you're very outspoken about what's going on in the world.
Did you see Trump on 60 Minutes?
I saw someone talking to Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes.
I mean I find it really, really unsettling
that that's the president of our country.
So I think it's so important for us
to all, not only just go and vote,
because I'm sure everyone here is registered to vote,
I'm planning on voting but there are
29 million Latinos in our country that
are eligible to vote.
So it is so important that you don't just register to vote,
that you go to vote.
So we can take our country back for all the marginalized groups
that are suffering under his thumb.
[APPLAUSE]
This is our country.
And even though the news is just cyclical.
It's so depressing and all of it is so upsetting.
There is a really beautiful moment happening with groups,
with women coming together.
Finally women really holding each other's hands and saying,
I don't care where you're from.
I don't-- getting rid of all of those marginalized feelings
that we feel when we're in a minority group that we
can't-- if our success, if we succeed, it's a zero sum game.
The person next to us.
We all know now that there's power in numbers,
and there's power collectively.
So is so important for us all to just make
each other aware of what your options are on voting day,
to lend your hand, to watch over somebody else's kids
so they can go.
To give somebody a ride to work if they
have to wait longer hours.
We all can just do more than we're doing.
Just a little bit more.
I love that you've gotten so-- have you always
been this political, or is it just what's
going on now with the climate that we're in today?
Or have you always been?
No.
I mean, Barack Obama got elected.
I was like, this is great.
America is amazing.
We're not racist anymore.
And then I was like, oh whoopsie, you know?
And then I thought Hillary Clinton
was going to get elected.
I'm like, good, now we're not sexist either.
And that didn't happen.
But what did happen was that women came together and had
the most powerful movement that's
going to be in history books for the end of time.
And because as a response to Donald Trump.
So there is a silver lining to all of this mayhem.
And yes, I've always been politically active,
but for me personally it felt like an emergency situation.
And I feel like it's very important if you have
a platform to use or to stick your neck out for people who
don't.
I agree.
[APPLAUSE]
What is your take on the Kavanaugh situation, with--
I mean I can imagine.
I mean I was outraged by it.
Well, it was outrageous for a woman.
I mean first I saw her testify, and I was like,
oh well that's it.
It's over.
And then he testified, I'm like why is he testifying?
I mean, this is a single account of what happened to this woman,
so he can counter it, but he doesn't remember it.
Because he was probably in a blackout.
And that's something I do know a lot about.
And I watched it, and I thought, oh wow,
this happened 30 years ago with Anita Hill.
We all learned our lesson.
There's no way under the sun that this
can happen in today's society.
And for it to happen is just representative
of white male power to me.
It just looks like a bunch of older white turtles
and men who are 85 plus saying women, you don't get a voice.
And we have to say no to that.
Yeah I agree.
Just women in general have to--
that's how I think, and I would hope most women are.
I would say all women, but there are
a lot of women who still are Trump supporters.
So you can't say all women.
But when that happened, when he still--
I just felt like it is time for us
now to really raise our voices, and do something
about this before-- because if that can happen, what's next?
What are they are going to take away next from us?
I think we used to-- we always have to look to black women.
Black women always vote in their best interests.
94% of black women voted for Hillary Clinton.
Well, 53% of white women voted for that guy.
We have to look-- black women vote in their best interests,
always historically.
They always know what's up.
And we have to be sisters to them.
We have to vote in their best interest as well.
Yep.
[APPLAUSE]
So this is bringing me to the question about your Netflix
special, which is-- is it a documentary?
A documentary on white privilege,
because I was looking around a lot after the election
happened, and I was just kind of looking at myself,
and I started to read a lot of black authors
that I hadn't read before, because I
was stuck in my own world.
And I just started to think about all the privilege
I benefited from in this industry specifically.
Being a Jew is a bonus.
Being a girl as a comedian when I was coming up was a bonus.
There weren't a ton of us.
I had every advantage and every door opened for me.
And when I started to look around
people that don't have as successful of a career
or are working twice as hard to achieve the same things,
I started to feel really gross about myself.
So on a very fundamental level I wanted to examine it further,
and Netflix is great because they're just, like, yeah go.
I'm like let's start with my own white privilege.
I mean, I've just been badly behaved for 20 years
and getting tons of money thrown at me for being a loud mouth.
I mean you could say I'm talented,
but you could also say I'm not talented.
It's really neither here nor there.
So for me it's an important subject matter right now.
It's like what are the people that are benefiting
from this going to do about it?
And I'm somebody who's benefiting from it.
Good for you for doing something about it.
Thank you.
Thank you, I'm glad I'm doing something about it.
It's eye opening.
I mean I get in trouble every single day I shoot.
I say the wrong thing.
I'm dying to know how to be a better person.
So I think we can all learn from it,
and I think white people obviously
have a lot-- a long way to go.
Yes, we do.
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel
so you can see more awesome videos,
like videos of me getting scared, or saying
embarrassing things.
Like ball peen hammer.
And also some videos of Ellen and other celebrities.
If you're into that sort of thing.
Yah!
