00:00:02.860 Someone is trying to frame us.

00:00:05.160 Until our names are cleared.

00:00:07.720 We're fugitives from Interpol.

00:00:09.480 Like Bonnie and Clyde with better snacks.

00:00:12.880 Espionage?

00:00:13.560 You still as good a shot as you used to be?

00:00:16.600 Better.

00:00:17.400 Is there love language?

00:00:18.860 We like to walk that fine line between techno-thriller

00:00:30.540 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:00:32.560 Your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.

00:00:41.900 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly.

00:00:43.780 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:00:45.440 Hunter Biden's one-time buddy appears before Congress

00:00:48.980 to detail their joint business dealings.

00:00:51.940 But today it appears no one agrees

00:00:54.220 what, if anything, his testimony proves

00:00:55.920 about alleged influence peddling by the Bidens,

00:00:58.840 including the big guy.

00:01:01.220 Joining me now, Peter Schweitzer,

00:01:02.680 president of the Government Accountability Institute

00:01:04.840 and host of the Drill Down podcast.

00:01:08.100 All right, Peter, so what would you say were the highlights

00:01:11.040 of what we learned from Devin Archer yesterday?

00:01:13.340 Well, I think we learned a couple of things, Megyn.

00:01:16.060 First of all, we learned from the business partner

00:01:19.340 that Hunter Biden would call his father the sitting vice president

00:01:23.880 with his business partners.

00:01:25.500 And it was a way to kind of show off the brand.

00:01:28.660 What is the brand?

00:01:30.080 Is his father the head of some tech company with business acumen?

00:01:33.540 No.

00:01:34.220 His father's the vice president of the United States,

00:01:36.460 and the brand is access.

00:01:39.140 You know, the Democrats, I think,

00:01:40.760 are being a little disingenuous

00:01:42.380 when they say they didn't discuss business.

00:01:45.340 What's the big deal?

00:01:46.960 Look at how campaign fundraising is done in Washington, Megan.

00:01:51.040 Somebody comes in, they express concern about the bill.

00:01:54.580 President or an office holder talks about it.

00:01:58.240 The fundraisers contact them later to discuss a donation.

00:02:02.420 That's probably the same way that it happened here.

00:02:05.460 So that, I think, is an important development

00:02:07.620 because it shows the lie that Joe Biden has said consistently

00:02:11.740 that he never met with, never discussed,

00:02:14.480 never had any conversations with any of his business partners.

00:02:18.380 The second thing from this testimony that's important, Megan,

00:02:21.800 is that Devin Archer said very clearly,

00:02:25.340 and remember, Devin Archer served on the board of Burisma,

00:02:28.660 this Ukrainian energy company, with Hunter Biden.

00:02:31.880 He said that Burisma executives were pressing Hunter Biden

00:02:35.940 to get the prosecutor fired.

00:02:38.580 The prosecutor that was looking into the CEO of Burisma,

00:02:42.740 issues related to taxes, financial irregularities, et cetera.

00:02:47.240 So that's confirmation that Burisma wanted him fired.

00:02:52.080 You add to that evidence that Joe Biden bragging on video

00:02:56.220 that he was the one that got the prosecutor fired

00:02:59.600 by withholding U.S. aid.

00:03:02.320 That, I think, is also an enormous development.

00:03:06.300 So you have Devin Archer saying he knows firsthand

00:03:08.920 that Burisma was speaking to Hunter

00:03:11.320 about trying to get this prosecutor in Ukraine fired.

00:03:14.560 They wanted this anti-corruption prosecutor,

00:03:18.300 allegedly, off of their back.

00:03:20.480 And we know from the laptop and other testimonials

00:03:23.880 that one of the conversations that Joe Biden had

00:03:27.420 was with Burisma, the executive's Hunter Biden,

00:03:30.200 shortly before he fired that prosecutor.

00:03:34.480 Now, years later, Joe Biden would tell us all

00:03:37.620 that he had that prosecutor fired.

00:03:39.960 He fired him back in 15 when he was the vice president.

00:03:42.660 He didn't speak to the Council on Foreign Relations

00:03:44.760 about it until 2018, which is when this soundbite is from,

00:03:47.860 the first half of this soundbite.

00:03:50.680 But James Comer was on Hannity last night.

00:03:53.060 And here's a bit of Joe Biden in 2018

00:03:56.040 and then Comer commenting on what he believes

00:03:59.220 happened right after it.

00:04:00.620 Watch this.

00:04:02.040 I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko

00:04:04.660 and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action

00:04:08.700 against the state prosecutor, and they didn't.

00:04:11.300 So they said they had, they were walking out

00:04:12.980 the press conference and said, no, I said,

00:04:14.260 I'm not going to, we're not going to give you

00:04:16.400 the billion dollars.

00:04:18.040 They said, you have no authority.

00:04:19.500 You're not the president.

00:04:20.340 The president said, I said, call him.

00:04:23.220 I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting

00:04:24.580 the billion dollars.

00:04:25.840 I said, you're not getting the billion.

00:04:27.360 I'm going to be leaving here.

00:04:28.380 I think it was, what, six hours.

00:04:29.740 I looked, I said, I'm leaving in six hours.

00:04:31.680 If the prosecutor's not fired,

00:04:33.240 you're not getting the money.

00:04:34.720 Oh, son of a, got fired.

00:04:38.020 That's a quid pro quo, Sean.

00:04:40.060 That's very illegal.

00:04:41.140 We have evidence in this sworn testimony

00:04:44.200 that from a fellow Burisma board member

00:04:48.360 that they were pressuring Hunter

00:04:50.440 to immediately get on the phone with his father

00:04:52.700 and get this stopped.

00:04:56.200 Because we do know that Archer,

00:05:00.880 reportedly yesterday, testified

00:05:02.440 that on December 9th, 2015,

00:05:04.580 Joe Biden traveled to Ukraine

00:05:06.240 to make this speech about corruption and so on.

00:05:10.100 And then shortly thereafter, he fired,

00:05:12.720 he made sure that they fired Shokin.

00:05:14.460 And that was right after he had,

00:05:18.160 he and Hunter met

00:05:19.200 with the Ukrainian business officials.

00:05:22.080 Yeah, that's right, Megan.

00:05:23.900 This is an enormously important development,

00:05:26.400 I think what Devin Archer said,

00:05:27.920 because it shows the motivation of Burisma

00:05:31.000 to get this prosecutor fired.

00:05:33.040 Remember the consistent line from Team Biden

00:05:36.940 and a lot of the fact checkers,

00:05:38.680 so-called fact checkers out there,

00:05:40.320 went along with it to say that,

00:05:42.140 no, the investigation was dormant.

00:05:44.060 The investigation was really no longer existent.

00:05:47.540 This is clear evidence that Burisma

00:05:49.340 certainly didn't see it that way.

00:05:51.380 And in fact, it wasn't until later

00:05:53.320 that Burisma announced that they were no longer

00:05:56.180 under legal jeopardy.

00:05:57.960 So when this first came out,

00:06:00.300 when that video was first released

00:06:02.260 and people were talking about the quid pro quo,

00:06:04.980 I was kind of skeptical.

00:06:06.640 But this new piece from Devin Archer,

00:06:09.420 I think conclusively shows

00:06:11.500 that there's a connection between the two.

00:06:14.920 Hunter Biden was not hired by Burisma

00:06:17.320 because he had background in energy

00:06:19.380 or Ukrainian policy or regulatory affairs.

00:06:22.160 He was hired because of who his father was.

00:06:24.700 He basically acknowledged that

00:06:26.520 in a 2019 ABC News interview.

00:06:30.000 And lo and behold,

00:06:31.220 who's the one that later brags

00:06:33.020 about firing the prosecutor

00:06:34.640 that Hunter's employer wants fired?

00:06:37.080 His father, the vice president of the United States.

00:06:39.760 I don't think it gets too much.

00:06:41.400 I don't think it gets more damning than that.

00:06:44.060 And I think we have to really think

00:06:45.600 about the legal standards here, Megan.

00:06:48.120 You're the attorney in this conversation.

00:06:50.160 I'm not.

00:06:51.140 But if the standard is,

00:06:52.820 we have to show a video of Joe Biden

00:06:56.460 talking to his son saying,

00:06:59.340 I will get this done.

00:07:00.600 That's a ridiculous legal standard.

00:07:02.620 I think the evidence is clear cut.

00:07:04.820 It's a quid pro quo.

00:07:06.280 And Hunter Biden was paid in part

00:07:09.140 to have his father take official actions

00:07:11.480 on his behalf.

00:07:12.240 And that includes getting this prosecutor fired.

00:07:15.220 That's the only thing that makes any sense.

00:07:17.300 That's the only thing that makes any sense.

00:07:18.880 Neither Devin Archer nor Hunter

00:07:20.300 had any expertise in oil, gas, energy whatsoever.

00:07:23.740 They got placed in that Burisma board

00:07:26.120 when Joe Biden was the sitting vice president.

00:07:28.820 Then they have a meeting

00:07:29.900 at which Punter makes clear

00:07:31.360 that he has daily access to his father,

00:07:33.440 the sitting vice president.

00:07:34.760 And they get 83 grand a month from this company.

00:07:37.360 And then lo and behold,

00:07:38.560 what happens?

00:07:39.360 But Joe Biden fires the prosecutor in Ukraine

00:07:41.460 or make sure that they fire

00:07:42.620 this prosecutor in Ukraine

00:07:43.580 looking into Burisma.

00:07:44.960 What else makes sense?

00:07:47.220 And what Hunter Biden seems to be saying,

00:07:49.700 what Joe Biden seems to be saying

00:07:51.020 when on a podcast yesterday

00:07:52.120 and talked about how he talks to his kids

00:07:53.840 and his grandkids every day, every day.

00:07:55.660 He's been laying that foundation.

00:07:58.020 Why would he like?

00:08:00.240 I call my mom all the time,

00:08:01.840 but I don't call her in the middle of my show.

00:08:04.460 I don't call her in the middle

00:08:06.340 of my business negotiations with Sirius XM.

00:08:09.240 I don't call mom.

00:08:10.540 No, that would be appropriate.

00:08:11.820 There's only one reason

00:08:12.940 he would be calling him

00:08:14.400 in the middle of a business meeting.

00:08:16.060 And that's to show the doors open.

00:08:18.160 I do have access.

00:08:20.260 Yeah, no, you're exactly right, Megan.

00:08:22.520 I mean, look, they're trying to paint it

00:08:23.860 as they talk to each other every day

00:08:26.300 because it's so important

00:08:27.840 for them to bond and connect.

00:08:29.420 You don't bond and connect

00:08:31.060 when you're sitting with four guys

00:08:32.700 over drinks at a bar at the Four Seasons.

00:08:35.980 That's that's not how you bond and connect.

00:08:39.060 The other thing here is

00:08:40.260 is Joe Biden's responsibility.

00:08:41.840 I mean, they play up the fact

00:08:43.320 that, you know, Hunter had lost his brother

00:08:45.280 and they're worried about substance abuse.

00:08:47.400 Be very easy for Joe Biden.

00:08:49.080 The first time that that Hunter Biden did this,

00:08:51.980 you know, called him with his business partners.

00:08:53.700 Be very easy for Joe Biden to say,

00:08:55.580 look, son, call me at any time.

00:08:57.500 Call me at three in the morning.

00:08:58.720 I'd love to hear from you.

00:08:59.900 But do not call me

00:09:01.000 when your business partners are present.

00:09:03.480 That apparently never happened

00:09:05.460 because this has been Joe Biden's mode of operation.

00:09:08.680 Let's remember, before Hunter Biden started

00:09:11.700 this so-called international financial business,

00:09:14.880 he was a lobbyist

00:09:16.200 and he was lobbying his father

00:09:18.180 on behalf of entities in Delaware.

00:09:21.060 So they're very well versed

00:09:23.200 on how to do this in a manner

00:09:25.220 that's not obvious,

00:09:26.600 but it's still very effective for the clients.

00:09:29.460 In this case, foreign clients like Burisma.

00:09:31.680 I want somebody to, at a minimum,

00:09:34.520 ask Joe Biden this question.

00:09:36.260 I wrote it down.

00:09:37.360 It's very simple.

00:09:38.480 You were the point man on Ukrainian corruption

00:09:40.140 when you were the sitting vice president.

00:09:42.400 Burisma, a Ukrainian company,

00:09:44.160 was being investigated at that time for corruption.

00:09:48.100 How did you allow your son

00:09:49.920 to sit on the Burisma board,

00:09:52.680 a position only offered to him

00:09:54.660 after you became vice president?

00:09:56.740 Will any reporter worth his or her salt

00:09:59.180 ask Joe Biden that question?

00:10:00.620 I wrote it for you.

00:10:02.240 You can steal it verbatim.

00:10:04.040 You don't have to give me credit.

00:10:05.380 Just ask it.

00:10:06.660 Ask it.

00:10:07.360 That's one piece of it.

00:10:09.000 The total impropriety of that decision,

00:10:11.060 which we know for a fact happened.

00:10:13.140 There's no disputing any of that.

00:10:15.060 The second question is,

00:10:16.760 why?

00:10:17.660 Why did you do it knowingly

00:10:19.500 because you wanted him

00:10:20.820 to extort some sort of a benefit out of Burisma?

00:10:24.200 Did you get a piece of his board salary

00:10:26.780 or some other payment

00:10:27.760 that may have been made to your son?

00:10:29.160 And that's really what the House oversight

00:10:30.960 is investigating right now.

00:10:33.040 Devin Archer did speak to that in part.

00:10:36.180 But I will tell you, as a lawyer,

00:10:37.400 I heard this following testimonial described

00:10:39.420 and I thought,

00:10:40.320 so Devin Archer wasn't in a position to know

00:10:42.380 whether there was a bribe,

00:10:43.620 that he was not in a position.

00:10:44.780 Dan Goldman,

00:10:45.940 this New York representative

00:10:46.780 who's basically the cover guy now for the Bidens,

00:10:49.180 he says this is their sort of game set match

00:10:51.340 on the whole second piece of that inquiry

00:10:53.100 I just mentioned.

00:10:53.780 Here he is trying to spin

00:10:55.960 the FBI form 1023,

00:11:00.100 which alleged from a confidential informant

00:11:02.140 that there was a direct bribe

00:11:03.580 paid by Burisma

00:11:04.860 to Joe Biden,

00:11:06.560 200 Biden of 5 million apiece

00:11:08.360 in exchange allegedly

00:11:10.420 for getting this prosecutor fired.

00:11:12.540 Here's Dan Goldman

00:11:13.140 speaking about it yesterday.

00:11:14.120 21.

00:11:14.400 We did bring up the FD 1023

00:11:18.380 and he categorically said

00:11:22.380 that he was unaware,

00:11:25.640 had no knowledge

00:11:26.660 of any $5 million payment

00:11:29.260 made to either Hunter Biden

00:11:30.860 or to Joe Biden

00:11:31.960 and would be shocked

00:11:33.360 if that actually existed.

00:11:35.280 And let's remember,

00:11:36.200 he was on the Burisma board

00:11:38.260 with Hunter Biden.

00:11:40.360 So as a board member,

00:11:42.320 he would have known

00:11:43.400 if Burisma was paying

00:11:45.520 a bribe

00:11:46.400 to any of the Bidens.

00:11:49.720 Yeah.

00:11:50.080 Is that how bribery works, Peter?

00:11:52.500 Right, exactly.

00:11:53.760 And Burisma, as we know,

00:11:55.380 has such high ethical standards.

00:11:58.420 It was regarded, Megan,

00:12:00.620 within the Ukrainian industry,

00:12:02.640 which has a massive corruption problem,

00:12:05.040 as a horribly corrupt place.

00:12:07.240 So no, this is just laughable.

00:12:09.300 And look,

00:12:09.720 there are plenty of other examples

00:12:11.740 in Biden world

00:12:12.960 where the Bidens carve out

00:12:14.860 money for themselves

00:12:15.880 and other people

00:12:16.540 don't know about it.

00:12:17.760 Look at the Tony Bobulinski case.

00:12:20.280 What happened to Tony Bobulinski

00:12:21.640 is they set up a company,

00:12:23.540 Hudson West,

00:12:24.740 that was supposed to be

00:12:25.820 getting money from CEFC,

00:12:27.920 $5 million.

00:12:29.380 Hunter contacted CEFC

00:12:31.080 and had it sent

00:12:32.200 to his personal account

00:12:33.720 instead of the corporate account.

00:12:35.700 And Tony Bobulinski

00:12:36.780 didn't even know

00:12:37.940 that that money

00:12:38.640 had been transferred.

00:12:39.620 So this idea

00:12:40.980 that Devin Archer

00:12:41.760 didn't know

00:12:42.640 it didn't happen

00:12:44.400 is just simply ridiculous.

00:12:47.540 One of the things...

00:12:48.640 You're talking about

00:12:49.100 paying a bribe

00:12:49.980 to the sitting

00:12:50.540 vice president

00:12:51.140 of the United States.

00:12:51.980 Do you think

00:12:52.340 everyone in favor

00:12:54.140 on the board?

00:12:55.360 Give an eye.

00:12:56.340 You know,

00:12:56.540 who is Dan Goldman

00:12:58.220 kidding?

00:13:00.280 It went through

00:13:01.200 the accounting department,

00:13:02.540 I'm sure.

00:13:03.560 And the check was cut,

00:13:05.240 you know,

00:13:05.500 from Burisma to the...

00:13:06.820 But yeah,

00:13:07.140 it's just laughable.

00:13:08.340 Look,

00:13:09.140 this is the retreat

00:13:10.080 that they have undergone.

00:13:12.060 I think the real culprits here,

00:13:13.720 I get that the Bidens

00:13:14.740 are defending themselves

00:13:16.220 and their political advisors

00:13:17.740 and hacks

00:13:18.300 have to defend them.

00:13:19.500 The real culpable people here

00:13:21.140 are the mainstream media

00:13:22.700 because they continue

00:13:24.180 to cover for this.

00:13:25.320 The New York Times

00:13:25.960 is now sort of downplaying

00:13:27.760 the Devin Archer testimony

00:13:29.640 by saying,

00:13:30.480 yeah,

00:13:30.580 we kind of knew

00:13:31.660 that Joe Biden

00:13:32.920 talked to the business partners

00:13:34.680 and associates.

00:13:35.460 Well,

00:13:36.020 if you'd read

00:13:36.980 the New York Times

00:13:37.700 over the last five years,

00:13:38.780 you didn't know that

00:13:39.820 because they haven't

00:13:40.500 reported that

00:13:41.360 and they parroted

00:13:42.740 the Biden line

00:13:43.920 that there were

00:13:44.360 no conversations.

00:13:45.220 So it's really

00:13:46.380 the media here.

00:13:47.580 Where's the fourth estate

00:13:48.840 that's supposed to be

00:13:49.620 speaking truth to power,

00:13:51.860 this being the most powerful

00:13:52.980 man in the world

00:13:53.700 right now?

00:13:54.260 They're non-existent.

00:13:55.520 A couple things

00:13:56.520 to set that record straight.

00:13:57.800 We've got,

00:13:58.400 I think this was actually

00:13:59.780 put together by Hannity,

00:14:01.120 putting together

00:14:01.740 like a string

00:14:02.320 of the Joe Biden

00:14:03.060 and the Hunter Biden,

00:14:04.080 the Joe Biden comments

00:14:05.080 about Hunter and his business.

00:14:06.280 Take a look at this,

00:14:07.000 SOT 22.

00:14:09.040 Mr. Vice President,

00:14:10.280 how many times

00:14:11.260 have you ever spoken

00:14:12.340 to your son

00:14:13.060 about his overseas

00:14:13.920 business dealings?

00:14:15.200 I've never spoken

00:14:15.980 to my son

00:14:16.420 about his overseas

00:14:17.080 business dealings.

00:14:17.880 I have never discussed

00:14:19.160 with my son

00:14:20.420 or my brother

00:14:21.700 or anyone else

00:14:22.740 anything having to do

00:14:24.060 with their businesses,

00:14:24.760 period.

00:14:26.160 And what I will do

00:14:27.300 is the same thing

00:14:28.080 we did in our administration.

00:14:30.420 There will be

00:14:30.880 an absolute wall

00:14:31.940 between personal

00:14:33.040 and private

00:14:33.720 and the government.

00:14:36.240 Do you stand

00:14:36.780 by your statement

00:14:37.440 that you did not discuss

00:14:38.860 any of your son's

00:14:40.100 overseas business dealings?

00:14:41.100 Yes, I stand by that statement.

00:14:42.460 I did not know

00:14:43.360 he was on the board

00:14:44.420 of that company.

00:14:45.900 I've never discussed

00:14:46.900 my business

00:14:48.040 or their business,

00:14:48.980 my sons or daughters.

00:14:50.140 I never discussed

00:14:51.120 a single thing

00:14:51.800 with my son

00:14:52.460 about anything

00:14:53.000 having to do

00:14:53.480 with Ukraine.

00:14:54.760 Why about never

00:14:55.920 speaking with Hunter?

00:14:56.740 Like,

00:14:57.120 he's still strong.

00:14:59.660 Okay.

00:15:00.700 So he made very clear.

00:15:02.140 I mean,

00:15:02.300 I guess he was just like,

00:15:04.020 are you at home

00:15:05.220 in your living room,

00:15:05.960 Hunter?

00:15:06.340 Oh, okay,

00:15:07.020 then we're good.

00:15:07.760 Then we can talk.

00:15:08.920 No,

00:15:09.220 he was phoning in

00:15:10.180 at least 20 times

00:15:11.100 to these business meetings

00:15:12.100 or Hunter called him

00:15:13.260 at these business meetings

00:15:14.300 and he knew very well

00:15:15.480 what the purpose was.

00:15:16.780 However,

00:15:17.860 the spin continues

00:15:18.860 from Dan Goldman.

00:15:20.200 Again,

00:15:20.780 spinner in chief.

00:15:21.700 He's just downright dishonest.

00:15:23.500 I'm sorry,

00:15:24.060 but he is that

00:15:25.560 that last soundbite shows it.

00:15:27.040 But here he is.

00:15:27.840 And now what's become

00:15:28.580 in the past 18 hours

00:15:29.800 an infamous soundbite.

00:15:31.080 It's sandwiched

00:15:31.840 in the middle

00:15:32.160 of a bunch of nonsense,

00:15:33.760 but where he tries to say

00:15:35.240 they would talk

00:15:36.260 about the weather.

00:15:37.500 Listen,

00:15:37.940 it's not 20.

00:15:39.320 He did describe

00:15:40.620 that there were

00:15:41.700 approximately 20 occasions

00:15:44.040 over the course

00:15:44.940 of their

00:15:45.400 nearly decade long

00:15:47.600 business relationship

00:15:48.960 that Hunter Biden

00:15:50.080 would ask his father

00:15:52.620 to say hello

00:15:53.480 to whomever

00:15:54.660 he was at dinner.

00:15:55.860 He said there were

00:15:56.600 some times

00:15:57.040 when it was friends

00:15:57.720 and sometimes

00:15:58.820 when it was

00:16:00.040 a potential business partner.

00:16:01.760 But the witness

00:16:02.260 was unequivocal

00:16:03.140 and stated

00:16:04.320 very clearly

00:16:06.000 that they never

00:16:07.520 discussed

00:16:08.540 any business

00:16:10.260 on that phone conversations.

00:16:12.060 There were niceties

00:16:12.740 and there was a hello

00:16:14.240 and there were

00:16:15.220 talked about the weather.

00:16:16.220 If he says hello

00:16:17.120 to someone

00:16:17.920 that he sees

00:16:19.420 his son with,

00:16:21.160 is he supposed to say,

00:16:22.700 hi, son?

00:16:23.280 No, I'm not going to say hello

00:16:24.360 to the other people

00:16:25.200 at the table

00:16:25.820 or the other people

00:16:26.600 on the phone.

00:16:27.340 The witness was very,

00:16:28.820 very consistent

00:16:30.420 that none of those conversations

00:16:32.620 ever had to do

00:16:34.120 with any business dealings

00:16:36.480 or transactions.

00:16:37.220 They were purely

00:16:38.240 what he called

00:16:38.940 casual conversations.

00:16:41.840 Peter,

00:16:42.500 Molly Hemingway

00:16:43.080 writes in a piece

00:16:43.860 on The Federalist today,

00:16:45.320 while no one actually

00:16:46.200 thinks Joe Biden

00:16:47.040 has a secret interest

00:16:48.260 in meteorology

00:16:49.140 that he only shares

00:16:50.160 with corrupt foreign oligarchs

00:16:51.720 who happen to be

00:16:52.340 in business with his son.

00:16:53.880 The claim is ridiculous

00:16:55.340 for another reason,

00:16:57.160 which is,

00:16:57.680 and she's giving credit

00:16:58.300 to Larry O'Connor here,

00:16:59.400 quote,

00:16:59.940 understand this,

00:17:01.020 Hunter getting Joe

00:17:01.860 on speakerphone

00:17:02.800 was the deliverable.

00:17:07.500 Exactly right.

00:17:08.500 Yeah,

00:17:08.780 when I first heard him,

00:17:10.080 Dan Goldman,

00:17:11.340 say this,

00:17:11.780 I thought,

00:17:12.240 you know,

00:17:12.880 there are these things

00:17:13.540 called weather apps.

00:17:14.480 You don't need

00:17:14.940 to call your dad

00:17:15.980 to discuss the weather.

00:17:17.380 I mean,

00:17:17.560 you have weather apps.

00:17:18.700 This information

00:17:19.440 is not hard to get.

00:17:21.220 But more to the point,

00:17:22.740 look,

00:17:23.760 in all of these dealings,

00:17:25.480 the question

00:17:26.180 I would ask Hunter Biden

00:17:27.580 and I would ask Joe Biden

00:17:28.940 is,

00:17:29.640 what was your son's business?

00:17:32.660 What services

00:17:33.500 did he provide?

00:17:34.620 Tangible services

00:17:35.440 did he provide?

00:17:36.880 And,

00:17:37.200 or what product

00:17:38.060 did he provide

00:17:38.840 for these tens

00:17:39.700 of millions of dollars

00:17:41.040 that flowed to him

00:17:42.180 from China and Ukraine

00:17:43.460 because he had

00:17:44.320 no skill set

00:17:45.160 and we know the answer.

00:17:46.380 The product

00:17:46.980 was Joe Biden.

00:17:49.200 And again,

00:17:49.740 I mean,

00:17:50.100 Dan Goldman knows this.

00:17:52.220 It's the way fundraising

00:17:53.200 is done in Washington,

00:17:54.580 D.C.

00:17:55.060 You know,

00:17:55.380 a lobbyist comes

00:17:56.280 into the office.

00:17:57.120 He's concerned

00:17:57.680 about the bill.

00:17:58.840 The senator or congressman

00:18:00.160 talks with him

00:18:00.860 about the bill.

00:18:01.840 He doesn't ask them

00:18:02.780 for a donation.

00:18:03.660 He doesn't ask them

00:18:04.560 to hold a fundraiser.

00:18:06.180 That happens

00:18:06.800 after the fact.

00:18:07.940 A subordinate calls them.

00:18:09.340 That's where

00:18:09.860 the financial transaction

00:18:11.640 takes place.

00:18:12.840 It's the same thing here.

00:18:14.760 These foreign entities

00:18:16.100 were investing

00:18:17.140 in the Biden family.

00:18:18.940 In fact,

00:18:19.700 Chairman Yee,

00:18:20.580 who was the head

00:18:21.040 of the CEFC,

00:18:22.820 when he sent

00:18:23.520 six million dollars

00:18:24.600 to Hunter Biden,

00:18:25.780 he said,

00:18:26.800 this is not just for you.

00:18:28.100 This is for all

00:18:29.140 the Bidens.

00:18:30.300 So they all knew

00:18:31.600 who they were

00:18:32.200 in business with.

00:18:33.040 They were in business

00:18:33.760 with the Biden family.

00:18:35.380 And I think

00:18:35.780 as this investigation

00:18:36.640 proceeds,

00:18:37.660 Megan,

00:18:38.060 we're going to

00:18:38.800 actually see more

00:18:39.760 evidence that

00:18:40.500 Joe Biden

00:18:41.140 actually benefited

00:18:42.340 personally

00:18:43.080 from his son's

00:18:44.540 financially

00:18:45.140 from his son's

00:18:46.320 overseas business

00:18:47.300 dealings.

00:18:49.120 You're right.

00:18:50.380 What business

00:18:51.320 were you in?

00:18:52.240 What business

00:18:52.760 were you in?

00:18:53.200 That's a great question

00:18:53.940 because it's very clearly

00:18:55.300 the access business.

00:18:56.480 My last name is Biden

00:18:57.560 and so is my dad's

00:18:59.060 and he's the sitting

00:18:59.820 vice president

00:19:00.380 from the laptop.

00:19:02.640 Again,

00:19:03.140 this is from

00:19:03.500 the New York Post.

00:19:04.300 There was an email

00:19:05.160 September 22nd,

00:19:06.900 2011,

00:19:07.920 where Hunter told

00:19:08.720 Devin Archer

00:19:09.300 that a Chinese

00:19:10.000 mogul who secured

00:19:10.860 them a multimillion

00:19:11.640 dollar deal,

00:19:12.740 quote,

00:19:13.240 loved him for

00:19:14.120 his last name.

00:19:17.380 A Chinese businessman,

00:19:18.980 Che Fang,

00:19:19.900 who was referred to

00:19:20.800 as the super chairman

00:19:22.000 by this pair,

00:19:23.440 Devin and Hunter,

00:19:24.800 helped Biden's firm,

00:19:26.720 Rosemont,

00:19:27.740 and another one.

00:19:29.400 And then Hunter

00:19:31.180 emailed Archer,

00:19:32.460 I don't believe

00:19:33.160 in lottery tickets

00:19:33.880 anymore,

00:19:34.180 but I do believe

00:19:35.120 in the super chairman.

00:19:36.040 When Archer questioned

00:19:37.240 why Fang was so

00:19:38.120 generous to Hunter,

00:19:39.460 Hunter speculated

00:19:40.180 that his favorable

00:19:41.300 position had everything

00:19:42.340 to do with his

00:19:43.520 hyper-connected father.

00:19:45.900 And to your point

00:19:46.560 about what actual

00:19:48.200 services could he

00:19:48.920 provide,

00:19:49.280 he wasn't an energy

00:19:49.920 expert,

00:19:50.400 this is a lie,

00:19:51.100 there's no reason

00:19:51.620 for Burisma to have

00:19:52.500 him on the board.

00:19:53.580 Something happened

00:19:54.120 in court last week

00:19:54.960 that Margo Cleveland

00:19:55.740 of the Federalist

00:19:56.400 was pointing out.

00:19:57.480 I don't have it

00:19:58.020 totally understood

00:19:59.460 in my head,

00:20:00.040 so forgive me,

00:20:00.520 I'm going to try

00:20:00.920 to go but from memory,

00:20:02.260 but she was pointing

00:20:03.060 out that the judge

00:20:03.780 was saying to Hunter

00:20:04.960 in this plea deal

00:20:06.240 you're saying

00:20:07.560 in the statement

00:20:08.020 of facts

00:20:08.500 that you provided

00:20:09.840 legal services

00:20:11.300 to this one

00:20:12.520 Chinese mogul

00:20:13.700 and that's why

00:20:14.640 you got this

00:20:15.280 million dollar payment

00:20:16.320 and Hunter said

00:20:17.640 yes,

00:20:19.420 if memory serves,

00:20:21.680 but I'm not 100%.

00:20:23.060 And she's pointing

00:20:24.100 out it was a clear lie.

00:20:25.640 He got this

00:20:26.240 million dollar check

00:20:27.180 for the same reason

00:20:28.680 he was on the

00:20:29.360 Burisma board.

00:20:30.660 They tried to

00:20:31.360 paper it

00:20:32.560 by making it

00:20:33.640 look like

00:20:34.060 they were paying

00:20:34.660 him for legal

00:20:35.400 services,

00:20:35.980 but this is

00:20:37.280 a pattern,

00:20:38.340 Peter.

00:20:38.660 It's a pattern.

00:20:39.880 And now

00:20:40.400 you've got,

00:20:41.660 to your point

00:20:42.040 about the media,

00:20:43.260 the spin,

00:20:44.440 the spin,

00:20:44.940 spin,

00:20:45.140 spin,

00:20:45.340 spin,

00:20:45.500 spin,

00:20:45.660 spin to try

00:20:46.860 to like pretend

00:20:47.620 that yesterday

00:20:48.100 was an insignificant

00:20:49.140 day and that

00:20:50.440 all this stuff

00:20:51.220 that went down

00:20:51.800 with Joe Biden

00:20:52.440 on the phone

00:20:52.980 20 times.

00:20:54.680 Who the hell's

00:20:55.680 getting on the phone

00:20:56.320 with Romania?

00:20:57.640 The Romanian

00:20:58.320 business men

00:20:59.980 when you're

00:21:00.340 the vice president

00:21:01.180 that it all

00:21:03.100 had to do

00:21:03.680 with the tumult

00:21:04.960 that was caused

00:21:06.840 by the death

00:21:07.940 of Beau Biden.

00:21:09.980 It's the most

00:21:10.880 cynical,

00:21:11.620 disgusting spin.

00:21:13.500 Some of that

00:21:14.080 is in the sound

00:21:14.700 by I'm about

00:21:15.220 to play you

00:21:15.720 from this morning

00:21:16.420 over on MSNBC

00:21:17.920 Sop 14.

00:21:19.680 As far as

00:21:20.400 Hunter Biden goes,

00:21:21.080 even those close

00:21:21.800 to the Biden family

00:21:22.460 suggest that some

00:21:23.100 of his behavior

00:21:23.540 is pretty unseemly.

00:21:24.640 That doesn't make

00:21:25.280 it illegal.

00:21:26.140 Maybe he is guilty

00:21:27.080 of turning a blind eye

00:21:28.320 to some of his

00:21:29.260 son's behavior.

00:21:30.540 And we should

00:21:31.220 put this in context.

00:21:32.540 This is a time

00:21:33.100 when Beau Biden,

00:21:34.140 the president's

00:21:34.580 other son,

00:21:35.020 was ill and then

00:21:35.660 dying.

00:21:36.020 We hear here

00:21:36.740 from Comer

00:21:37.740 and other Republicans,

00:21:39.080 it's wishful thinking.

00:21:40.260 They're trying

00:21:40.580 to create a scandal.

00:21:41.820 They're trying

00:21:42.240 to create a scandal

00:21:43.020 or at least

00:21:43.660 the appearance

00:21:44.480 of a scandal,

00:21:45.780 the sort of,

00:21:46.700 you know,

00:21:47.460 smokiness

00:21:48.100 of a scandal.

00:21:49.940 You know,

00:21:50.280 I think it's pretty

00:21:50.900 clear,

00:21:51.700 at least so far,

00:21:52.740 there is nothing there.

00:21:53.840 This was a sort

00:21:55.300 of very fraught

00:21:57.080 and sad time

00:21:59.260 for the Biden family

00:22:00.740 and we know

00:22:02.540 how important

00:22:03.100 family is

00:22:04.020 to the president.

00:22:05.480 Let's put this

00:22:06.480 in context.

00:22:07.680 Beau Biden

00:22:08.100 got very sick

00:22:08.940 in early 2015.

00:22:10.840 At that point,

00:22:12.080 Joe Biden

00:22:12.880 and Hunter Biden

00:22:14.000 began to speak

00:22:15.080 every day

00:22:15.800 because they were

00:22:16.400 both devastated.

00:22:17.280 But the critical

00:22:18.120 part here

00:22:19.040 for Congress,

00:22:20.120 and that's what

00:22:20.640 we have to make

00:22:21.320 sure we understand,

00:22:22.540 is that Joe Biden

00:22:23.540 was doing nothing

00:22:24.380 to benefit his son.

00:22:25.960 And what about

00:22:26.420 the Biden bribery

00:22:28.020 tapes we've heard about?

00:22:29.660 The witness

00:22:30.360 completely debunked

00:22:31.640 those allegations

00:22:32.360 and he said

00:22:33.000 there was no bribe

00:22:34.140 of either Hunter

00:22:35.100 or Joe.

00:22:36.780 Look at that lie

00:22:37.840 at the end, Peter.

00:22:38.700 That lie at the end.

00:22:40.120 I was laughing too

00:22:40.880 until that.

00:22:41.660 He said there was

00:22:42.560 no bribe.

00:22:43.400 That's a lie.

00:22:44.360 That's not,

00:22:45.080 that's not even

00:22:46.100 what Dan Goldman

00:22:47.000 said happened yesterday.

00:22:48.520 He upped his rhetoric

00:22:50.020 for mourning Joe.

00:22:51.660 That's not even arguably

00:22:52.920 what even Dan Goldman

00:22:54.560 said.

00:22:54.900 The witness said

00:22:55.480 the witness said

00:22:56.260 yesterday,

00:22:56.760 according to Dan Goldman,

00:22:57.760 not that he was aware of,

00:23:00.540 but he states it

00:23:01.940 definitively there

00:23:02.920 on MSNBC

00:23:03.580 to their audience.

00:23:04.420 And how about

00:23:05.380 the nonsense

00:23:06.260 about they were

00:23:07.100 just too upset

00:23:07.940 about Bo

00:23:08.720 to realize what,

00:23:09.900 that they were

00:23:10.240 breaking laws?

00:23:12.440 Yeah, you know,

00:23:13.320 and look,

00:23:13.980 I wouldn't bring this up

00:23:15.120 except for the fact

00:23:16.020 that they're playing

00:23:16.700 the Bo Biden card.

00:23:18.460 You know,

00:23:18.680 I guess Hunter Biden

00:23:19.520 was so distraught

00:23:20.960 about his brother's death

00:23:22.600 that he ended up

00:23:24.040 having an affair

00:23:24.840 with his brother's widow

00:23:26.400 while he was still married.

00:23:28.940 I mean,

00:23:29.280 it's just so ridiculous.

00:23:31.600 And look,

00:23:31.900 I think these sort

00:23:32.720 of twisted,

00:23:34.120 this twisted logic,

00:23:36.040 these distortions,

00:23:37.380 in my mind,

00:23:38.440 are a sign

00:23:38.960 of desperation.

00:23:40.280 I mean,

00:23:40.680 it's becoming

00:23:41.720 increasingly untenable.

00:23:43.540 They keep shifting

00:23:44.200 the goalposts.

00:23:45.580 The arguments

00:23:46.180 keep shifting

00:23:47.000 and changing.

00:23:48.380 And another important

00:23:49.880 point here,

00:23:50.380 Megan,

00:23:50.600 is we focused

00:23:51.420 on the corruption

00:23:52.240 aspect of this,

00:23:53.420 but something

00:23:54.320 we also have

00:23:55.100 to put into context

00:23:56.020 is the national

00:23:57.020 security implication

00:23:58.100 of this.

00:23:59.080 You have,

00:23:59.600 in the case of China,

00:24:00.900 three Chinese businessmen.

00:24:02.640 You mentioned

00:24:03.200 the super chairman,

00:24:04.560 Che Feng.

00:24:05.520 All three

00:24:06.340 of the Chinese

00:24:07.060 businessmen

00:24:07.700 that funneled

00:24:08.500 tens of millions

00:24:09.200 of dollars

00:24:09.720 to the Bidens

00:24:10.480 had ties

00:24:11.600 to the highest

00:24:12.380 levels of Chinese

00:24:13.440 intelligence.

00:24:14.720 The super chairman,

00:24:15.720 Che Feng,

00:24:16.520 at the same time

00:24:17.480 he is setting up

00:24:18.400 Hunter Biden

00:24:19.160 for this private

00:24:20.540 equity deal,

00:24:21.360 BHR,

00:24:22.140 that nets him

00:24:22.840 by some estimates

00:24:23.580 $20 million.

00:24:25.380 At the same time

00:24:26.780 he's setting

00:24:27.380 Hunter Biden up

00:24:28.260 for this lottery-like win,

00:24:30.720 he is business partners

00:24:31.980 with the vice minister

00:24:33.520 of state security

00:24:35.080 in China

00:24:36.260 whose responsibility

00:24:37.500 is recruiting

00:24:38.620 foreign nationals

00:24:39.800 to spy

00:24:40.660 on behalf of China.

00:24:42.860 So,

00:24:43.260 this is not about,

00:24:44.340 oh,

00:24:44.500 can we prove

00:24:45.180 the legal standard

00:24:46.240 of whether there's

00:24:47.060 a quid pro quo?

00:24:48.360 There is a larger

00:24:49.340 national security

00:24:50.280 question here.

00:24:50.980 The first family

00:24:51.700 of the United States

00:24:52.520 has received

00:24:53.120 tens of millions

00:24:54.280 of dollars

00:24:54.960 from foreign sources

00:24:56.440 and many of those

00:24:57.880 foreign sources

00:24:58.620 have ties

00:24:59.380 to foreign

00:25:00.100 intelligence services.

00:25:02.240 Does that not

00:25:03.260 matter anymore?

00:25:04.120 I think it does

00:25:04.980 and I think

00:25:05.380 most people

00:25:05.960 think it does.

00:25:07.720 This guy,

00:25:08.600 Hunter Biden,

00:25:09.460 was doing all this

00:25:10.420 when Joe Biden,

00:25:11.440 by his own admission,

00:25:12.660 knew that he was

00:25:14.080 a cocaine addict.

00:25:15.020 He was a crackhead.

00:25:16.000 He knew

00:25:16.980 and he didn't say

00:25:18.480 this is a dangerous

00:25:19.400 position for the country

00:25:20.380 for you to be

00:25:22.100 having this kind

00:25:23.420 of access

00:25:23.820 to people in Ukraine,

00:25:25.160 to people in China

00:25:26.000 while putting me

00:25:27.120 on the phone

00:25:27.680 with them.

00:25:28.780 This guy

00:25:29.600 lied about his taxes,

00:25:31.900 cheated on his taxes,

00:25:33.420 lied on his gun

00:25:34.080 application form.

00:25:36.780 Is it really

00:25:37.540 so hard to believe

00:25:38.560 he took access

00:25:40.540 he had to Joe Biden's

00:25:42.020 confidential papers

00:25:42.920 from his days

00:25:44.180 in the Senate,

00:25:44.840 never mind

00:25:45.200 the vice presidency

00:25:45.960 at one of the homes

00:25:47.120 that we now know

00:25:47.820 Joe Biden was keeping

00:25:48.780 inappropriately

00:25:49.860 in those locations

00:25:50.740 and let somebody

00:25:51.740 take a look

00:25:52.300 for a payment

00:25:53.240 so he could get

00:25:53.760 his crack?

00:25:54.340 He was sniffing

00:25:54.940 Parmesan

00:25:55.360 for the love of God

00:25:56.580 in an effort

00:25:57.420 to try to get

00:25:58.260 some sort of a high.

00:25:59.420 No one cares.

00:26:00.480 Imagine if you had

00:26:01.300 a prosecutor

00:26:01.940 with the tenacity

00:26:03.060 of Jack Smith

00:26:03.980 on this case,

00:26:05.080 Peter,

00:26:05.540 instead of figuring

00:26:06.240 out the Trump scheme

00:26:08.120 to go talk

00:26:08.900 to the guy

00:26:09.400 who ran surveillance

00:26:10.320 at Mar-a-Lago

00:26:10.940 to see if

00:26:11.840 whether a tape

00:26:12.500 could be erased

00:26:13.180 or not.

00:26:13.860 Something Trump denies.

00:26:14.960 But imagine

00:26:15.460 this is what gets

00:26:16.480 people so aggravated

00:26:17.700 that they tell

00:26:19.220 that there's no

00:26:19.880 two systems of justice,

00:26:22.220 that it was

00:26:22.880 Trump's Justice Department

00:26:23.980 that was weaponized,

00:26:24.780 not Biden's.

00:26:25.700 And we're all supposed

00:26:26.500 to sit back and say

00:26:27.520 that Trump,

00:26:28.640 he sure is horrible.

00:26:29.660 He shouldn't be running

00:26:30.380 at all.

00:26:30.940 It's four more years

00:26:32.000 for the sitting,

00:26:33.020 honest Uncle Joe.

00:26:35.580 Yeah.

00:26:36.100 Yeah.

00:26:36.440 No, look,

00:26:37.140 it's interesting

00:26:37.860 how their characterization

00:26:39.080 of Hunter

00:26:39.740 has changed completely.

00:26:41.500 They argued for years

00:26:42.740 he's a legitimate businessman.

00:26:44.640 He was a Yale-trained lawyer.

00:26:46.440 He got these deals

00:26:47.600 because of his merit.

00:26:49.180 Now they're saying,

00:26:50.000 oh, well,

00:26:50.280 he was just distraught

00:26:51.320 and he was on drugs

00:26:52.140 the whole time,

00:26:52.900 which to me

00:26:53.720 just doubles down

00:26:54.680 on the question,

00:26:55.420 then why do you think

00:26:56.340 these foreign nationals

00:26:57.400 were sending him

00:26:58.060 all this money?

00:26:59.140 Let's remember also

00:27:00.160 another thing, Megan,

00:27:01.240 that Joe Biden

00:27:02.240 apparently went along with,

00:27:04.160 which is in 2014,

00:27:06.000 the U.S. Senate

00:27:06.720 released this

00:27:07.520 back in 2020.

00:27:08.940 In 2014,

00:27:09.700 Hunter Biden

00:27:11.160 said,

00:27:12.540 I no longer

00:27:13.260 want secret service

00:27:14.600 protection.

00:27:15.700 So he was traveling

00:27:16.840 to China,

00:27:17.680 he was traveling

00:27:18.340 to these other

00:27:18.960 foreign locations

00:27:19.840 without secret service

00:27:21.720 protection,

00:27:22.680 taking money

00:27:23.360 from people

00:27:23.900 connected to foreign

00:27:24.800 intelligence services

00:27:25.780 with a major

00:27:26.820 drug problem.

00:27:27.620 And apparently

00:27:28.260 Joe Biden

00:27:28.980 had no problem

00:27:30.240 with him doing that.

00:27:31.700 So it's a massive

00:27:32.940 security threat

00:27:33.840 and you're right,

00:27:34.620 there are two tiers

00:27:35.540 of justice

00:27:36.080 in this country.

00:27:37.460 There is no effort,

00:27:39.180 serious effort

00:27:39.820 by DOJ

00:27:40.580 to investigate

00:27:41.440 this in any

00:27:42.420 serious way.

00:27:44.080 If this was a Trump

00:27:45.560 rather than a Biden,

00:27:47.300 the investigation

00:27:48.340 would be handled

00:27:49.200 far, far differently.

00:27:51.360 And if you look

00:27:51.880 through the span

00:27:52.460 of human history,

00:27:53.440 Megan,

00:27:54.100 the surest example

00:27:55.340 of a decline

00:27:56.240 of a civilization,

00:27:57.520 it's not free elections,

00:27:58.680 those are enormously

00:27:59.620 important.

00:28:00.160 It is when the

00:28:01.460 criminal justice system

00:28:02.860 is seen as totally

00:28:04.140 corrupt and favoring

00:28:05.800 a select few.

00:28:06.840 That's when you see

00:28:07.540 the decline

00:28:08.220 and collapse

00:28:09.100 of civilizations

00:28:10.560 and people are starting

00:28:11.960 to seriously distrust

00:28:13.640 our criminal justice

00:28:14.880 system in this country,

00:28:16.020 I think for good reason.

00:28:18.400 Thank God Republicans

00:28:19.680 won the House.

00:28:21.040 Thank God

00:28:22.000 they won the House.

00:28:23.240 You people out there,

00:28:24.520 you voters,

00:28:25.060 you can do what you want

00:28:25.920 when it comes to

00:28:26.520 the White House.

00:28:27.000 That's up to you.

00:28:28.000 Do not give up

00:28:28.880 divided government.

00:28:30.160 Otherwise,

00:28:30.520 we're not going to know

00:28:31.240 any of this stuff.

00:28:32.640 The only reason

00:28:33.500 we know this stuff

00:28:34.520 is because you people,

00:28:36.620 voters,

00:28:37.100 you voted in

00:28:38.260 divided government

00:28:38.960 and that is a blessing.

00:28:40.960 Peter Schweitzer,

00:28:41.580 so are you.

00:28:42.260 Thank you so much

00:28:42.900 for being on

00:28:43.400 with such clear,

00:28:44.260 concise explanations

00:28:45.180 of it all.

00:28:47.020 It's always a pleasure.

00:28:47.800 Thanks, Megan.

00:28:48.920 Wow.

00:28:49.640 All right.

00:28:50.020 When we come back,

00:28:51.080 a longtime former star

00:28:53.100 whose name you will know

00:28:54.020 on the U.S.

00:28:54.700 women's soccer team

00:28:55.760 calls out

00:28:56.680 her former teammates.

00:28:58.380 That's next.

00:28:59.660 Join me now

00:29:03.120 to rising stars

00:29:04.100 in the conservative movement

00:29:05.160 from National Review,

00:29:06.920 Caroline Downey

00:29:07.600 making her first appearance

00:29:08.800 on the MK Show

00:29:09.720 and back with us

00:29:10.900 from the Florida Standard

00:29:12.280 is Will Witt,

00:29:13.380 whose new book,

00:29:14.280 Do Not Comply,

00:29:16.060 Taking Power Back

00:29:16.900 from America's Corrupt Elite,

00:29:19.160 comes out on September 19th.

00:29:21.380 Caroline and Will,

00:29:22.540 great to see you.

00:29:23.700 Thank you for being here.

00:29:24.560 Let's kick it off

00:29:25.400 with, so to speak,

00:29:26.640 kick it, get it,

00:29:27.540 American soccer.

00:29:29.200 These morons

00:29:30.120 on the women's soccer team

00:29:31.080 continue to embarrass us

00:29:32.400 on the national stage.

00:29:34.020 They tied, okay?

00:29:36.060 They got into a 0-0 tie

00:29:38.400 with Portugal.

00:29:40.060 And this is,

00:29:41.500 they've only scored

00:29:42.060 four goals

00:29:42.820 in three games.

00:29:43.800 It's the first time ever

00:29:45.100 that the women's team

00:29:46.420 does not have

00:29:47.200 at least two wins

00:29:48.160 at this stage

00:29:48.820 of the competition.

00:29:49.420 And yet they're

00:29:50.740 celebrating out there

00:29:52.240 like they've just

00:29:53.460 won the whole thing.

00:29:54.480 They're making fools

00:29:55.180 of themselves.

00:29:55.700 They won't sing

00:29:56.300 the national anthem.

00:29:57.420 Half of them won't

00:29:57.980 put their hands

00:29:58.500 over their hearts.

00:29:59.340 Even the ones

00:29:59.880 who are singing

00:30:00.340 are half-assing it.

00:30:01.620 They clearly don't

00:30:02.480 want to be doing it.

00:30:03.240 I mean, they look like

00:30:03.760 they don't even

00:30:04.040 want to be there.

00:30:04.640 It's like some sort

00:30:05.340 of inconvenience

00:30:06.260 to be representing

00:30:07.340 the USA.

00:30:08.440 So Carly Lloyd,

00:30:09.920 God love her,

00:30:11.120 she's with Fox Sports now,

00:30:13.180 goes out there,

00:30:13.680 and it's very unusual

00:30:14.780 for a former player

00:30:15.680 on the team

00:30:16.140 to actually take shots

00:30:17.000 at the sitting team.

00:30:18.340 But God bless her

00:30:19.320 because she was right

00:30:19.820 in everything she said.

00:30:20.960 And listen to what she said.

00:30:23.720 I have never witnessed

00:30:25.340 and just seeing these images

00:30:27.240 for the first time

00:30:28.040 right now on the desk,

00:30:28.900 I have never witnessed

00:30:29.800 something like that.

00:30:31.180 There's a difference

00:30:31.880 between being respectful

00:30:34.120 of the fans

00:30:34.900 and saying hello

00:30:35.780 to your family,

00:30:36.660 but to be dancing,

00:30:38.220 to be smiling.

00:30:39.340 I mean, the player

00:30:40.140 of the match

00:30:40.580 was that post.

00:30:42.140 You were lucky

00:30:42.720 to not be going home

00:30:43.620 right now.

00:30:44.120 Started to shift

00:30:44.920 post-2020.

00:30:46.100 I think there's just

00:30:46.700 a lot of off-the-field

00:30:48.200 things that are happening

00:30:49.220 and, you know,

00:30:50.820 you never want

00:30:51.880 to take anything

00:30:52.380 for granted.

00:30:52.900 You put on that jersey

00:30:53.680 and you want to give it

00:30:55.040 everything you have

00:30:55.780 for the people

00:30:56.320 that came before you,

00:30:57.360 for the people

00:30:57.820 that are going

00:30:58.160 to come after you,

00:30:59.080 and I'm just not

00:31:00.000 seeing that passion.

00:31:01.080 I'm just seeing

00:31:01.820 a very lackluster,

00:31:03.480 uninspiring,

00:31:04.440 taking it for granted,

00:31:05.860 where winning

00:31:07.060 and training

00:31:07.800 and doing all

00:31:09.640 that you can

00:31:10.180 to be the best

00:31:11.160 possible individual player

00:31:13.020 is not happening.

00:31:14.580 Right, because

00:31:16.840 she mentions 2020.

00:31:17.940 That was post-George Floyd

00:31:18.800 when you had

00:31:19.220 the Megan Rapinoe's

00:31:19.980 of the world

00:31:20.400 saying,

00:31:21.100 we're not singing

00:31:21.480 the national anthem.

00:31:22.260 We're all taking a knee.

00:31:23.560 We're never going to sing

00:31:24.420 the national anthem again.

00:31:26.400 And now,

00:31:27.380 she said that

00:31:27.960 the player of the match

00:31:28.760 was that post

00:31:29.560 because the post

00:31:30.260 blocked one of

00:31:31.800 the other team's kicks

00:31:33.120 into our goal,

00:31:34.360 not us.

00:31:35.120 So this team

00:31:35.720 is prancing around

00:31:36.660 like they've won

00:31:37.600 the whole thing.

00:31:38.540 They won't respect us.

00:31:39.680 They won't respect

00:31:40.280 our country.

00:31:40.900 They won't respect

00:31:41.500 the men and women

00:31:42.140 who have died

00:31:42.700 for the United States

00:31:43.520 by just managing

00:31:44.400 a hand over the heart.

00:31:46.340 And yet,

00:31:46.760 they celebrate themselves

00:31:48.100 like crazy,

00:31:50.120 even though

00:31:50.580 at best,

00:31:51.580 they've tied.

00:31:52.880 I don't,

00:31:53.220 Caroline,

00:31:53.880 what do you make of it?

00:31:55.880 Well,

00:31:56.460 I may be sports illiterate,

00:31:58.540 but I can recognize

00:31:59.860 when a team like this

00:32:01.780 is clearly settling

00:32:02.720 for mediocrity.

00:32:04.800 I mean,

00:32:05.140 I saw this sports columnist

00:32:07.500 describe the performance

00:32:09.380 of this team

00:32:10.140 as lackluster

00:32:11.460 because,

00:32:12.120 like you said,

00:32:13.160 they tied with Portugal

00:32:14.260 and they had beaten

00:32:15.240 that team,

00:32:16.180 I think,

00:32:16.620 at least 10 meetings prior.

00:32:18.860 So this is clearly

00:32:19.940 a decline

00:32:21.340 in their,

00:32:22.420 you know,

00:32:23.340 athletic performance.

00:32:24.980 And I think

00:32:26.220 it's probably

00:32:26.620 because they're

00:32:27.000 prioritizing other issues

00:32:28.760 besides being

00:32:30.560 a winning team

00:32:31.540 for the United States

00:32:32.320 and representing

00:32:33.080 the U.S. well.

00:32:33.940 And it's definitely

00:32:34.700 politics.

00:32:35.780 They're definitely

00:32:36.500 investing a lot

00:32:37.820 of energy

00:32:38.340 into woke,

00:32:40.560 woke things.

00:32:41.320 like you mentioned,

00:32:42.920 Megan Rapinoe,

00:32:44.820 she,

00:32:45.300 I think,

00:32:45.580 just the other day

00:32:46.400 said that

00:32:47.200 if a transgender

00:32:48.600 individual

00:32:49.880 were to want

00:32:50.900 to come onto her team,

00:32:51.940 she'd accept

00:32:52.640 them with open arms,

00:32:54.940 which is very ironic

00:32:56.240 because a women's team

00:32:58.100 was beaten

00:32:59.000 by a U.K.

00:33:00.300 men's team,

00:33:01.260 I think,

00:33:01.920 last month,

00:33:02.800 12 to 0.

00:33:03.880 So clearly

00:33:04.980 she's not convinced

00:33:05.960 of the overwhelming

00:33:07.400 physical advantages

00:33:08.580 that men have.

00:33:09.500 Megan Rapinoe,

00:33:10.320 she's the leader

00:33:11.600 of all this.

00:33:12.220 She didn't make

00:33:12.700 the team exactly.

00:33:13.540 She's on the team,

00:33:14.160 but she's on the sidelines.

00:33:15.040 She's not a starter.

00:33:16.200 So that's why

00:33:16.880 she's not on camera

00:33:17.700 when they're doing

00:33:18.220 the national anthem.

00:33:18.920 But she's behind

00:33:19.880 a lot of this.

00:33:20.860 She's poisoned

00:33:21.500 the entire team

00:33:22.760 against the country

00:33:24.640 for which they play.

00:33:27.020 Will,

00:33:27.200 and I don't know

00:33:27.580 about you,

00:33:27.980 but I'm watching this team.

00:33:29.020 I'm not rooting for them.

00:33:30.220 I'm not with them.

00:33:31.120 I hope they lose.

00:33:33.040 Well,

00:33:33.440 it's funny,

00:33:33.880 your producer,

00:33:34.460 you know,

00:33:34.600 they sent the topics

00:33:35.300 this morning

00:33:35.820 and they're talking

00:33:36.320 about women's soccer.

00:33:37.560 I didn't even know

00:33:38.300 any of this was happening.

00:33:39.260 I had to go look

00:33:39.860 all this up.

00:33:40.480 I mean,

00:33:40.680 this is how outside

00:33:41.980 of the realm,

00:33:43.160 you know,

00:33:43.440 women's soccer is

00:33:44.260 for a lot of people

00:33:45.020 in this country.

00:33:46.020 And honestly,

00:33:46.500 this team reminds me

00:33:47.420 of the Republican Party

00:33:48.360 in America.

00:33:49.100 It's full of losers

00:33:49.780 and they love losing

00:33:51.260 is what it seems like.

00:33:52.560 I mean,

00:33:52.760 I see these people

00:33:53.720 celebrating

00:33:54.460 that they have lost

00:33:56.200 or tied a game

00:33:57.160 and it's just

00:33:57.840 this entire culture

00:33:58.840 of what it means

00:33:59.500 to be many people

00:34:00.920 living in America today.

00:34:02.060 They're fine with mediocrity.

00:34:03.540 They're fine with foreigners

00:34:04.560 coming in and eating

00:34:05.380 our lunch here in America.

00:34:06.420 They're fine with

00:34:07.160 sending our jobs overseas

00:34:08.500 so that they can work

00:34:09.360 cushy jobs

00:34:10.060 and that working hard

00:34:11.320 is a relic of the past.

00:34:13.580 That's what it seems

00:34:14.380 like this team is doing.

00:34:15.320 And so in reality,

00:34:16.300 it's hard to blame them

00:34:17.560 in the sense

00:34:17.980 because it's really

00:34:18.700 just exemplary

00:34:20.000 of what so many Americans

00:34:21.600 are now doing.

00:34:22.400 I think that our country

00:34:23.540 is really going downwards

00:34:25.480 in a way

00:34:25.960 where we are saying

00:34:26.720 losing is great,

00:34:27.940 being a loser

00:34:28.620 or mediocre

00:34:29.340 is fantastic

00:34:30.260 and being someone

00:34:31.260 who excels,

00:34:32.200 who is courageous,

00:34:33.340 who is outside

00:34:33.800 of the box

00:34:34.360 is wrong.

00:34:35.040 And I think

00:34:35.720 that's a huge,

00:34:37.500 a huge mistake

00:34:38.640 on our country's part

00:34:39.540 and what we've prioritized.

00:34:40.960 It's shameful.

00:34:42.520 These girls are shameful.

00:34:43.560 They ought to be ashamed

00:34:44.160 of themselves.

00:34:45.300 In other big news

00:34:46.560 this week,

00:34:47.320 Rand Paul,

00:34:48.000 Senator Rand Paul

00:34:48.800 is now pushing

00:34:49.420 for criminal charges

00:34:51.360 against Dr. Anthony Fauci

00:34:53.280 for lying to Congress

00:34:55.620 in his testimony.

00:34:57.320 We learned this week

00:34:58.360 that in an now unredacted,

00:35:01.420 I'll show the audience here.

00:35:02.540 Hold on.

00:35:03.600 Here is the original.

00:35:05.420 You can see all the redactions

00:35:06.520 as this was originally

00:35:07.640 provided to the public.

00:35:09.680 Fauci email

00:35:10.720 to all of his closest

00:35:13.260 compadres within the government.

00:35:16.360 And it was Saturday,

00:35:17.940 February 1st, 2020.

00:35:20.120 OK, the pandemic

00:35:20.960 was just starting.

00:35:22.480 He knew it.

00:35:22.980 A lot of us

00:35:23.440 didn't yet know it.

00:35:24.160 This is how we originally got it.

00:35:26.080 And this is how

00:35:26.900 it's now been produced.

00:35:27.860 OK, so now we see

00:35:28.580 the whole thing.

00:35:29.580 It's been unredacted.

00:35:30.760 Rand Paul got a look at it.

00:35:32.400 And the same guy,

00:35:33.400 Anthony Fauci,

00:35:34.120 who for months

00:35:34.760 was telling Rand Paul

00:35:35.840 and all of other

00:35:36.720 are the lawmakers

00:35:37.760 under oath

00:35:38.320 that we did not fund

00:35:40.380 any gain of function

00:35:41.240 research at the Wuhan lab

00:35:42.660 and that there was

00:35:43.700 no gain of function

00:35:44.580 at research

00:35:45.300 at the Wuhan lab,

00:35:46.440 meaning research

00:35:47.500 on bat coronaviruses

00:35:48.480 to make them

00:35:49.000 either more lethal

00:35:49.800 or more contagious.

00:35:50.800 That's what gain of function is.

00:35:51.840 He denied repeatedly

00:35:52.920 that it was happening.

00:35:53.660 Over and over and over.

00:35:55.200 And what does this document say?

00:35:56.560 I'll read it to you.

00:35:57.700 This is February 2020.

00:35:59.020 So he knew the whole time

00:35:59.860 while he was

00:36:00.220 contestifying to Congress,

00:36:01.040 he knew the following.

00:36:01.680 This is him.

00:36:02.660 The suspicion was heightened

00:36:03.580 by the fact that scientists

00:36:04.600 in the Wuhan University,

00:36:06.060 which is the compadre

00:36:07.100 organization

00:36:08.620 with the Wuhan lab,

00:36:09.840 are known to have been working

00:36:11.040 on gain of function experiments

00:36:12.860 to determine

00:36:14.020 the molecular mechanisms

00:36:15.700 associated with bat viruses

00:36:17.300 adapting to human infection

00:36:19.100 and the outbreak

00:36:20.640 originated in Wuhan.

00:36:22.160 He's saying the experts

00:36:23.920 he's talking to

00:36:24.500 think it came from the lab.

00:36:25.760 Another thing he lied about.

00:36:27.100 Here he is on camera

00:36:28.120 speaking to Rand Paul,

00:36:29.940 trying to say,

00:36:30.900 we don't fund it

00:36:32.440 and you're out of line

00:36:33.580 to even ask me about it.

00:36:34.740 Let's try SOP 28.

00:36:35.600 You are entirely

00:36:38.100 and completely incorrect

00:36:40.960 that the NIH

00:36:42.960 has not ever

00:36:44.400 and does not now

00:36:45.800 fund

00:36:46.900 gain of function research

00:36:49.540 in the Wuhan Institute

00:36:51.560 of Virology.

00:36:51.740 Do they fund Dr. Barrett?

00:36:53.840 We do not fund

00:36:55.340 Do you fund Dr. Barrett's

00:36:56.740 gain of function research?

00:36:58.360 Dr. Barrett does not

00:36:59.940 doing gain of function research

00:37:01.660 and if it is,

00:37:03.020 it's according to the guidelines

00:37:04.660 and it is being conducted

00:37:06.140 in North Carolina

00:37:07.980 and not in China.

00:37:08.600 You don't think

00:37:09.080 inserting a bat virus

00:37:10.420 spike protein

00:37:11.240 that he got

00:37:11.800 from the Wuhan Institute

00:37:12.900 into the SARS virus

00:37:14.200 is gain of function.

00:37:15.400 That is not

00:37:16.120 You would be in the minority

00:37:16.900 because at least

00:37:18.220 200 scientists

00:37:19.320 have signed a statement

00:37:20.320 from the Cambridge Working Group

00:37:21.740 saying that it is

00:37:22.860 gain of function.

00:37:23.880 Well, it is not

00:37:25.000 and if you look

00:37:25.840 at the grant

00:37:26.520 and you look

00:37:27.520 at the progress reports,

00:37:29.580 it is not

00:37:30.340 gain of function.

00:37:31.560 This paper

00:37:32.480 that you are referring to

00:37:34.100 was judged

00:37:35.340 by qualified staff

00:37:37.020 up and down the chain

00:37:38.620 as not

00:37:39.760 being gain

00:37:41.080 of function.

00:37:42.540 If the point

00:37:43.540 that you are making

00:37:44.800 is that the

00:37:46.060 the grant

00:37:47.200 that was funded

00:37:48.360 as a sub-award

00:37:49.720 from EcoHealth

00:37:50.660 to Wuhan

00:37:51.580 created SARS-CoV-2,

00:37:54.640 that's where

00:37:55.320 you are getting.

00:37:56.320 Let me finish.

00:37:57.300 We don't know.

00:37:57.880 I totally resent

00:37:59.280 the lie

00:38:00.320 that you are now

00:38:01.220 propagating,

00:38:02.460 Senator,

00:38:03.400 because if you look

00:38:05.080 at the viruses

00:38:06.220 that were used

00:38:07.980 in the experiments

00:38:09.180 that were given

00:38:11.000 in the annual reports

00:38:12.960 that were published

00:38:14.300 in the literature,

00:38:15.100 it is molecularly impossible.

00:38:19.980 All right.

00:38:20.780 So just two things

00:38:21.500 and I'll give it to you guys.

00:38:22.280 So he's denying

00:38:24.760 that we funded

00:38:26.020 gain of research

00:38:26.960 or gain of function research

00:38:28.200 and that

00:38:28.640 and he's denied elsewhere

00:38:29.740 that there was

00:38:30.320 gain of function research

00:38:31.120 happening there.

00:38:31.780 And this letter

00:38:32.340 says exactly the opposite,

00:38:33.800 that there was

00:38:34.560 gain of function research

00:38:35.320 and he knew it.

00:38:36.840 And secondly,

00:38:38.180 he's denying

00:38:38.800 as he always has

00:38:39.520 that any gain of function research

00:38:40.840 that was being done there

00:38:41.540 caused this virus,

00:38:42.880 this particular virus.

00:38:44.160 Well, Robert Redfield,

00:38:44.900 the former head of the CDC,

00:38:45.900 came out this week

00:38:46.680 and said

00:38:47.040 he believes exactly the opposite

00:38:48.820 on both points.

00:38:49.820 He actually says

00:38:51.060 that virus,

00:38:52.360 the actual virus

00:38:53.420 came out of that lab

00:38:54.800 and we funded it.

00:38:56.320 So, I mean,

00:38:57.220 you can't get

00:38:58.540 a better official

00:38:59.820 on the record

00:39:00.520 to come out.

00:39:01.560 So what do you make of it?

00:39:02.800 Randfall trying to hold

00:39:03.800 criminally,

00:39:04.640 Fauci criminally responsible.

00:39:06.320 Will?

00:39:07.920 I think it's a good thing.

00:39:09.480 He's obviously telling the truth,

00:39:10.780 but it's hard to imagine

00:39:11.740 that something's actually

00:39:12.560 going to come of this.

00:39:13.740 I think of Hillary Clinton

00:39:15.360 in 2016

00:39:16.180 and all of her emails

00:39:17.280 and her being held accountable.

00:39:18.920 Haven't seen that yet

00:39:19.960 or who knows

00:39:20.800 what's actually going to happen

00:39:21.820 with Hunter Biden

00:39:22.480 with everything

00:39:22.940 that they were just talking about.

00:39:24.040 I mean,

00:39:24.180 we can be hopeful

00:39:24.960 about these things

00:39:25.700 and we can think

00:39:26.580 that Fauci's going to be

00:39:27.500 prosecuted for something like this,

00:39:29.220 but it's hard for me

00:39:30.320 to get too excited

00:39:31.200 thinking that something's

00:39:32.160 actually going to happen.

00:39:33.200 It seems like all the time

00:39:34.300 the people who are

00:39:35.240 the most evil

00:39:36.500 or doing the most harm

00:39:37.540 in this country

00:39:38.060 usually are able to get away

00:39:39.580 with the things that they do.

00:39:40.960 I hope that's not the case

00:39:41.960 because obviously

00:39:42.660 the truth is there.

00:39:43.760 I mean,

00:39:43.940 you had Dr. Fauci

00:39:45.380 lying about masks

00:39:46.480 and saying that the masks work

00:39:47.720 and the social distancing worked,

00:39:49.060 but most people don't know this.

00:39:50.660 You could actually go

00:39:51.360 on the NIH website

00:39:52.600 in 2021

00:39:53.260 and there were studies

00:39:54.520 against so much bigger.

00:39:56.120 That's one thing, Will.

00:39:57.200 This is what caused the pandemic.

00:39:59.660 This is,

00:40:00.380 we're getting to

00:40:00.860 what caused the pandemic.

00:40:02.940 Why did so many people die?

00:40:05.460 And the answer

00:40:06.200 very much looks to be

00:40:07.740 because we funded

00:40:09.540 a dangerous research experiment

00:40:11.440 in a lab in Wuhan

00:40:13.280 that we knew

00:40:14.400 didn't have the proper

00:40:15.360 safety protocols

00:40:16.700 because why?

00:40:18.440 Because research.

00:40:19.740 And then we refused

00:40:20.580 to investigate

00:40:21.220 or hold the Chinese accountable

00:40:22.560 because science, Caroline.

00:40:25.080 That's why.

00:40:26.540 Yeah, I mean,

00:40:27.620 it was reckless

00:40:28.320 scientific investment.

00:40:29.920 And when you think about

00:40:30.980 how many scientists

00:40:32.200 were suppressed

00:40:33.260 and silenced

00:40:34.260 for challenging

00:40:35.260 the ongoing narrative

00:40:36.860 years ago

00:40:37.620 that this virus

00:40:38.880 naturally emerged

00:40:40.120 from animals

00:40:40.900 in a wet market,

00:40:42.820 I mean,

00:40:43.060 they were taken offline.

00:40:44.620 The amount of

00:40:45.400 the crackdowns

00:40:46.600 on social media

00:40:47.400 over this.

00:40:48.460 I mean,

00:40:49.140 to Rand Paul's credit,

00:40:50.600 he's the only one

00:40:51.700 subjecting Fauci

00:40:52.860 to a reckoning right now,

00:40:54.280 but obviously

00:40:54.900 there needs to be

00:40:55.460 way more accountability.

00:40:56.920 And like Will said,

00:40:58.020 unless there's prosecution

00:40:59.180 against Fauci,

00:41:00.440 I don't really know

00:41:01.460 what hope we have.

00:41:03.640 I think, you know,

00:41:04.460 Ron DeSantis

00:41:04.980 has pledged

00:41:05.820 to go after him

00:41:06.840 and that's all

00:41:08.380 well and good.

00:41:09.060 But I mean,

00:41:09.740 it's unbelievable.

00:41:10.660 He's lying through

00:41:11.320 his teeth repeatedly

00:41:12.540 when we have

00:41:14.180 the evidence,

00:41:14.940 we have the testimonies,

00:41:16.120 like you said,

00:41:16.780 from from public

00:41:17.700 health officials

00:41:18.320 who said,

00:41:18.720 no,

00:41:19.320 like we are culpable

00:41:20.780 the United States

00:41:21.580 partially.

00:41:22.860 But because here's

00:41:23.720 the thing,

00:41:24.200 Fauci,

00:41:24.660 the NIH later

00:41:25.460 came out and admitted

00:41:26.260 that EcoHealth

00:41:27.320 was doing gain

00:41:28.040 of function research.

00:41:28.820 They tried to say,

00:41:30.040 oh, they were doing

00:41:30.560 this research

00:41:31.320 and it kind of

00:41:32.200 turned into gain

00:41:32.820 of function.

00:41:33.280 It was an unexpected

00:41:33.880 result.

00:41:34.500 And then they didn't

00:41:35.400 tell us about it

00:41:36.280 until 2021.

00:41:37.840 So we're sorry

00:41:38.740 we didn't find out

00:41:39.780 about it till 2021.

00:41:40.760 Here's February 2020.

00:41:42.300 Anthony Fauci saying

00:41:43.240 they're doing gain

00:41:44.060 of function in Wuhan,

00:41:45.240 notwithstanding all

00:41:46.060 the testimony

00:41:46.480 that we just watched,

00:41:47.300 which was under oath.

00:41:48.680 So, yes,

00:41:49.260 Ron DeSantis

00:41:50.440 and any other president

00:41:51.320 should hold that guy

00:41:52.200 accountable.

00:41:52.880 And we for once

00:41:53.960 and for all

00:41:54.460 should get to the bottom

00:41:55.260 of exactly how far

00:41:56.780 that gain of function

00:41:57.540 went and whether

00:41:59.240 it was responsible

00:42:00.200 for the virus

00:42:01.000 that's killed so many,

00:42:02.180 though not as many

00:42:02.860 as they tell us

00:42:03.600 because they're lying

00:42:04.780 even about that.

00:42:06.020 I want to switch

00:42:06.520 to aged politicians.

00:42:08.340 We covered last week

00:42:09.800 when DeSantis was on

00:42:10.860 what happened

00:42:11.280 with 81-year-old

00:42:12.100 Mitch McConnell.

00:42:12.880 We've, of course,

00:42:13.460 been watching

00:42:13.900 the deterioration

00:42:15.160 of President Biden.

00:42:16.740 And then we saw

00:42:17.780 Dianne Feinstein

00:42:18.600 yet again,

00:42:19.500 yet again,

00:42:20.060 with just such

00:42:20.740 an embarrassing moment.

00:42:22.120 All she needed to say

00:42:22.860 was I.

00:42:23.720 She seemed to think

00:42:24.360 it was her opportunity

00:42:25.100 to like opine

00:42:26.520 about the measure.

00:42:27.540 And she had to be corrected

00:42:28.660 by Democratic Senator

00:42:29.560 Patty Murray

00:42:30.180 to just say I.

00:42:31.360 Here's a clip of it.

00:42:32.920 So 26.

00:42:34.780 Senator Feinstein.

00:42:37.720 I would like to support

00:42:40.200 a yes vote on this.

00:42:43.120 It provides $823 billion

00:42:46.360 and it funds priorities

00:42:50.060 submitted.

00:42:53.760 Yeah, just say I.

00:42:55.280 Okay, just.

00:42:57.960 I.

00:42:58.940 Thank you.

00:42:59.560 She's 90, Caroline.

00:43:02.260 So how old is too old?

00:43:04.360 Oh, my gosh.

00:43:05.340 It's heartbreaking.

00:43:06.680 I just think

00:43:07.720 there's a point

00:43:08.540 where this is

00:43:09.380 elder abuse

00:43:10.580 and that applies

00:43:11.600 to our president.

00:43:13.000 I mean,

00:43:13.280 Feinstein is recovering

00:43:14.080 from shingles still.

00:43:15.540 She was in the hospital

00:43:16.220 for so long

00:43:16.800 that she missed

00:43:17.440 many votes

00:43:18.380 to the point

00:43:19.180 where her Democratic

00:43:20.180 colleagues are saying

00:43:21.140 you should resign.

00:43:22.620 I mean,

00:43:22.960 what happened

00:43:23.580 to just gracefully

00:43:24.880 retiring to private life,

00:43:27.580 returning to your

00:43:28.340 grandchildren to just,

00:43:30.500 you know what I mean?

00:43:31.140 Just leaving public office

00:43:32.720 after a life of service.

00:43:34.840 I don't understand

00:43:36.020 like why people

00:43:37.040 like Feinstein.

00:43:38.220 I mean,

00:43:38.360 even you could argue

00:43:39.580 Fetterman is becoming

00:43:41.520 a pawn of the political

00:43:43.460 machine when these

00:43:44.900 people are not well.

00:43:46.140 I mean,

00:43:46.940 Biden mentally

00:43:48.020 incapacitated.

00:43:48.960 McConnell showed signs

00:43:50.000 of that the other day.

00:43:51.020 That was terrifying.

00:43:52.280 I mean,

00:43:52.440 that was like almost

00:43:53.060 a 30-second pause.

00:43:55.100 I mean,

00:43:55.340 we can't,

00:43:55.960 first of all,

00:43:56.320 have this liability

00:43:57.440 in Congress

00:43:59.060 on Capitol Hill.

00:44:00.020 I think it's a liability

00:44:00.980 that these elderly

00:44:03.180 politicians are becoming,

00:44:04.920 they're so frail.

00:44:06.040 And,

00:44:06.260 you know,

00:44:07.320 again,

00:44:07.700 to DeSantis' credit,

00:44:08.860 he's invoked

00:44:09.620 the energetic executive

00:44:10.860 multiple times

00:44:11.820 and that comes from

00:44:12.660 Hamilton and Federalist Papers.

00:44:14.200 But I think

00:44:14.880 he meant that

00:44:15.720 in more ways than one.

00:44:16.860 Not just like

00:44:17.900 a spirited

00:44:19.120 person prepared

00:44:20.780 to use power

00:44:21.520 for like just ends.

00:44:22.860 I also think

00:44:23.700 he meant vitality,

00:44:25.400 like youthfulness,

00:44:26.820 someone who is capable

00:44:28.160 because they are healthy.

00:44:30.900 Yeah,

00:44:31.420 he said,

00:44:31.940 Will,

00:44:32.060 in our interview last week

00:44:33.140 that he'll be ready

00:44:34.120 to spit nails

00:44:34.880 on day one

00:44:35.600 of his presidency.

00:44:36.500 He's only 44.

00:44:37.600 I believe the guy.

00:44:39.120 I mean,

00:44:39.600 90 years old.

00:44:41.280 I think about

00:44:41.840 Sandra Day O'Connor.

00:44:43.140 You know,

00:44:43.600 she's alive.

00:44:44.640 Sandra Day O'Connor

00:44:45.240 has not passed,

00:44:46.580 but she's suffering

00:44:47.400 from Alzheimer's.

00:44:48.860 She recognized

00:44:50.020 when it was time

00:44:50.780 to leave the stage

00:44:51.660 and when it would be

00:44:53.540 a compromise

00:44:54.100 to her service

00:44:54.900 to the nation

00:44:55.520 to remain on it.

00:44:56.940 And I'm sure

00:44:57.840 that wasn't an easy

00:44:58.500 decision for her.

00:44:59.480 And I'm sure

00:44:59.860 it's not easy

00:45:00.300 for any of these guys,

00:45:01.200 but for the good

00:45:01.700 of the country,

00:45:02.500 they have to do it.

00:45:05.440 I think so,

00:45:06.300 but it's very hard

00:45:07.180 to give up power

00:45:07.940 once you have power.

00:45:09.020 And I think that

00:45:09.600 a lot of people

00:45:10.220 take advantage

00:45:10.880 of the elderly

00:45:11.580 in this country,

00:45:12.380 at least,

00:45:12.740 especially the

00:45:13.440 elderly politicians.

00:45:14.780 I mean,

00:45:14.920 you have a military

00:45:15.820 industrial complex,

00:45:16.940 you have Big Pharma,

00:45:17.740 you have the lobbying group

00:45:18.800 in D.C.

00:45:19.660 who say

00:45:20.200 there's some old person

00:45:21.420 who wants to retain

00:45:22.120 onto everything they have.

00:45:23.240 Let's grease some palms

00:45:24.080 and make sure

00:45:24.960 that they get everything

00:45:25.660 they need

00:45:26.100 and just sit there.

00:45:26.880 They do nothing.

00:45:27.640 It's a complete waste

00:45:29.280 of a House seat

00:45:30.920 or a Senate seat

00:45:31.640 or a presidency

00:45:32.320 to have someone in there

00:45:33.520 who is inept

00:45:34.100 and can't even speak

00:45:35.040 or make complete sentences.

00:45:37.300 And it's all part

00:45:38.100 of the plan

00:45:38.540 where these people

00:45:39.160 will go along

00:45:39.780 with whatever it is

00:45:40.500 because someone's

00:45:41.240 paying the bill,

00:45:42.600 someone's greasing the palms

00:45:43.580 to make sure

00:45:44.020 that these people

00:45:44.600 stay in power.

00:45:45.200 So, of course,

00:45:46.100 these people are too old.

00:45:47.040 You should be much,

00:45:47.760 much younger

00:45:48.560 being in office

00:45:49.340 and much more chipper.

00:45:50.400 But unfortunately,

00:45:51.320 this is the way

00:45:51.920 that it goes.

00:45:53.100 Yeah.

00:45:53.320 When I was practicing law,

00:45:55.340 there was a mandatory

00:45:57.220 get out clause.

00:45:58.760 I think it's 62.

00:46:00.700 Memory serves.

00:46:01.660 So you could become a partner.

00:46:03.240 But at 62,

00:46:04.060 they wanted you out

00:46:04.860 not because they couldn't

00:46:06.140 have another partner

00:46:06.840 in the law firm

00:46:07.340 but because they understand

00:46:09.200 the natural workings

00:46:10.360 of one's brain

00:46:11.240 may not allow one

00:46:12.740 to be at peak performance.

00:46:14.420 You know,

00:46:14.800 maybe 62 is too young

00:46:16.540 but certainly at 81

00:46:18.420 and at 90,

00:46:19.980 it's time.

00:46:21.760 And yet,

00:46:22.160 if you write too much

00:46:23.100 about this,

00:46:23.820 Caroline,

00:46:24.160 you'll be called

00:46:24.660 an ableist

00:46:25.540 and an ageist

00:46:26.840 and sort of shamed

00:46:28.900 out of pushing it.

00:46:31.440 I mean,

00:46:31.740 younger generations

00:46:32.700 have a very large stake

00:46:35.040 in the future

00:46:35.760 of this country.

00:46:36.900 I think it's fair

00:46:37.800 that we say,

00:46:38.720 you know,

00:46:39.020 pass the baton

00:46:40.240 to us.

00:46:41.140 We would like

00:46:42.880 to lead

00:46:43.940 because we honestly

00:46:45.120 we have the pulse.

00:46:46.880 We're on the pulse

00:46:47.580 about what needs

00:46:48.520 to be done,

00:46:49.080 what's happening

00:46:49.620 on the ground

00:46:50.640 in this country.

00:46:51.460 And I think

00:46:51.940 if you're insulated

00:46:52.800 in government

00:46:53.320 for decades

00:46:54.600 and decades,

00:46:55.920 in a way,

00:46:56.880 I think the Founding Fathers

00:46:57.660 said that was a good thing

00:46:58.800 because then you weren't

00:46:59.900 too sensitive

00:47:00.780 to the fray

00:47:02.560 and kind of

00:47:03.120 the popular currents

00:47:04.260 which are sometimes

00:47:05.180 dangerous.

00:47:06.160 But in another sense,

00:47:07.780 they're way,

00:47:08.820 way too

00:47:09.620 removed.

00:47:11.140 I think

00:47:11.820 what is going on.

00:47:12.800 And yes,

00:47:13.240 there's the decay.

00:47:14.560 There's the physical

00:47:16.180 and mental decay.

00:47:18.540 You know,

00:47:19.100 we're still looking

00:47:19.920 well at a presidential race

00:47:21.140 that looks like

00:47:21.560 it's going to be

00:47:21.960 a 77-year-old

00:47:22.800 against an 80-year-old.

00:47:24.000 So, I mean,

00:47:24.440 we're forging right ahead

00:47:26.220 with that battle.

00:47:26.900 What do you make of that?

00:47:28.580 I think that

00:47:29.660 personally,

00:47:30.580 we need someone younger

00:47:31.560 from the Republican Party

00:47:32.640 unless, you know,

00:47:33.480 Donald Trump and Biden

00:47:34.300 are drinking their raw milk.

00:47:35.560 I can't see this being

00:47:36.660 too exciting.

00:47:38.080 I had to bring that back

00:47:38.900 for the show

00:47:39.340 just like last time.

00:47:40.080 My husband was like,

00:47:41.140 was he drinking raw milk?

00:47:42.880 Keep going.

00:47:43.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:47:44.600 I'm drinking it again now

00:47:45.660 with some chocolate too.

00:47:46.940 Anyway,

00:47:47.400 it's very exciting

00:47:48.180 to see what's going to happen

00:47:49.180 in the presidential election.

00:47:50.460 It's heating up

00:47:51.000 to be one of the most exciting

00:47:52.560 that I've seen

00:47:53.180 in my lifetime.

00:47:54.020 But if it turns out

00:47:55.200 that it's just

00:47:55.700 two older people

00:47:56.760 who, you know,

00:47:57.720 their mental capacities

00:47:58.700 somewhat seem to go,

00:47:59.440 it obviously seems like

00:48:00.320 Donald Trump

00:48:00.760 is much more awake

00:48:01.800 and on it

00:48:02.580 than Joe Biden.

00:48:03.540 But still,

00:48:04.480 for me personally,

00:48:05.100 I think we need

00:48:05.980 some vigor.

00:48:07.000 Vigor would be nice.

00:48:08.100 I like the phrase

00:48:08.960 spit nails on day one.

00:48:10.240 I've got to admit

00:48:10.840 that that worked for me.

00:48:15.820 Now,

00:48:16.500 an old pal of mine

00:48:17.800 and legendary actor

00:48:19.740 Dennis Quaid is here.

00:48:21.780 Dennis rose to fame

00:48:23.020 in the 1980s,

00:48:24.460 starring in hit films

00:48:25.500 like The Right Stuff

00:48:26.960 and Great Balls of Fire.

00:48:28.960 His career spans decades,

00:48:31.000 but he is here today

00:48:32.280 to discuss something

00:48:33.180 in addition to his acting

00:48:34.940 that he's doing.

00:48:36.020 As a musician

00:48:37.040 and songwriter

00:48:38.140 since the age of 12,

00:48:39.960 Dennis has brought

00:48:40.540 his faith to music

00:48:42.040 in his new album,

00:48:43.900 Fallen,

00:48:44.820 a gospel record

00:48:46.020 for sinners.

00:48:47.420 And we mean all of you

00:48:49.140 and yours truly.

00:48:50.760 It's actually really good.

00:48:52.520 I'll tell you the songs

00:48:53.180 that I love most on it.

00:48:54.360 We'll pay you a little bit,

00:48:55.320 play you a little bit,

00:48:56.080 and we'll get into

00:48:56.520 what inspired him

00:48:57.240 to write the album

00:48:58.120 and how faith

00:48:59.340 has played such a major role

00:49:00.800 in his life.

00:49:02.480 Dennis, great to see you again.

00:49:04.560 Hey, Megan.

00:49:05.520 It's been a while.

00:49:06.700 It's been a minute.

00:49:07.320 How's it going?

00:49:08.340 Yeah, it's been a minute.

00:49:09.120 It was like 18,

00:49:09.900 I think,

00:49:10.160 was the last time

00:49:10.640 we were together.

00:49:12.880 Kind of, sort of,

00:49:13.760 at the Reagan Ranch.

00:49:15.480 Yep, exactly.

00:49:16.480 You were shooting Reagan,

00:49:17.700 but we're not allowed

00:49:18.220 to talk about Reagan

00:49:19.140 because you're on strike

00:49:20.680 because you're a member of SAG.

00:49:21.780 Is that the rule?

00:49:22.120 I just said Reagan Ranch.

00:49:23.520 That's all.

00:49:25.160 Okay, so you may not know this,

00:49:26.900 but since I last,

00:49:27.700 and my audience doesn't know,

00:49:28.660 but since I last saw you,

00:49:29.560 I am also an actor now.

00:49:31.820 I had to join SAG

00:49:33.920 because I haven't told

00:49:35.180 my audience about this

00:49:36.000 because it's not ready

00:49:36.660 for primetime,

00:49:37.380 but I have actually

00:49:39.560 taken a role,

00:49:41.120 a bit part,

00:49:42.240 in something I'm not

00:49:43.000 at liberty to disclose.

00:49:44.360 It's a very small,

00:49:46.060 very bit.

00:49:47.420 But they made me

00:49:48.220 join the union.

00:49:49.000 I, too, am a union.

00:49:49.880 I'm also on strike.

00:49:50.760 We're on strike together.

00:49:52.120 All righty, then.

00:49:53.060 You'll have to tell me

00:49:53.740 about that off air.

00:49:55.520 So what are we doing on strike?

00:49:57.360 Like, should we go

00:49:58.000 to the picket line together?

00:49:59.320 Do we get to hold placards?

00:50:01.240 I am planning on going

00:50:02.980 to the picket line, in fact,

00:50:04.880 because it's a real thing

00:50:06.960 with streaming and everything.

00:50:08.780 It's a lot of actors.

00:50:10.160 They depend on that residual money

00:50:13.680 that comes in,

00:50:14.580 which, you know, with network,

00:50:16.400 and if you do movies

00:50:17.200 that play on TV

00:50:18.020 or in different markets,

00:50:19.080 you get that,

00:50:19.960 and it's, you know,

00:50:22.160 it's kind of a person's

00:50:23.360 Social Security

00:50:24.180 that they get for life.

00:50:25.580 I mean, I still get

00:50:26.500 substantial amounts

00:50:28.780 for movies I did back,

00:50:30.580 you know, in the 80s, in fact,

00:50:32.880 and they need that.

00:50:35.060 And, you know, streaming,

00:50:36.880 I don't think they have

00:50:37.540 a business model for it yet,

00:50:39.460 and I think that's been

00:50:40.920 a big problem,

00:50:42.380 but they will get it,

00:50:45.620 and I think, you know,

00:50:46.500 it's going to happen.

00:50:47.540 And it's just a question

00:50:49.880 of chicken right now, I guess,

00:50:51.700 because nobody wants to talk.

00:50:53.980 Well, it's, I mean,

00:50:54.740 it's a bummer for the consumers

00:50:55.840 because as everything is halted,

00:50:58.400 the writers are on strike,

00:50:59.400 the actors are on strike,

00:51:01.360 you know, these things

00:51:02.180 aren't being produced.

00:51:03.020 And so I don't know,

00:51:04.080 what's the lag time,

00:51:05.060 12 months, 24 months from now?

00:51:07.580 So we're going to be wondering

00:51:08.540 where all our great shows are.

00:51:10.320 Right.

00:51:10.900 And of course, during COVID,

00:51:13.280 all the streamers and everything,

00:51:14.920 it's kind of a golden age.

00:51:16.280 So they have a big backlog

00:51:17.900 of product, I think,

00:51:20.460 that they have yet to put out.

00:51:23.520 And so, like I said,

00:51:26.020 it's going to be a game

00:51:26.820 of chicken, I think, for a while.

00:51:28.680 And the streaming thing

00:51:29.680 is interesting

00:51:30.080 because it used to be

00:51:30.840 that guys like you

00:51:31.820 would star in something.

00:51:33.460 I don't know,

00:51:34.160 maybe it's, I think,

00:51:35.040 more in terms of television,

00:51:36.600 but you'd star in a television show,

00:51:38.500 and then when the reruns were on,

00:51:40.220 you'd get paid

00:51:40.720 all these residuals.

00:51:42.120 Right.

00:51:42.380 And now that we just have

00:51:43.540 all this streaming,

00:51:44.780 it's like,

00:51:45.480 well, how do you get paid

00:51:46.720 for all the residuals?

00:51:47.820 I mean, right now,

00:51:48.940 I've noticed that,

00:51:50.420 I don't even know

00:51:51.960 what streaming service it is,

00:51:52.940 but one of them

00:51:53.420 is forcing suits on us.

00:51:55.540 Suits is everywhere.

00:51:56.560 It's, I believe,

00:51:57.340 it's Ari Emanuel,

00:51:58.340 Meghan Markle's new agent,

00:51:59.720 shoving this down our throat

00:52:00.800 so he can relaunch her career.

00:52:03.360 And, but, I mean,

00:52:05.000 I sort of see the point,

00:52:05.880 like, so she's now everywhere,

00:52:07.480 and so that show

00:52:08.620 is now everywhere,

00:52:09.480 whereas it was not

00:52:10.360 everywhere recently,

00:52:11.480 and so do those actors

00:52:12.560 get paid on that or no?

00:52:13.840 Because it's not like a rerun.

00:52:15.900 It's just born again

00:52:17.700 on streaming.

00:52:18.860 Right.

00:52:19.620 Exactly.

00:52:20.180 There's a buyout

00:52:21.060 that goes on there.

00:52:21.980 And that money

00:52:22.600 is going somewhere,

00:52:24.320 but it's just not going

00:52:25.380 into the actors' pockets.

00:52:27.180 And, you know,

00:52:28.740 some of the streaming services,

00:52:30.180 they don't have to report

00:52:31.280 how many views

00:52:32.280 and all that to subscription.

00:52:34.680 So, I mean,

00:52:35.340 I see their point of view

00:52:36.440 from where they're at

00:52:38.400 as a business,

00:52:38.980 but, you know,

00:52:40.760 this has always been

00:52:41.540 part of a business,

00:52:43.220 and it's the right thing to do.

00:52:45.140 Hmm.

00:52:45.940 Well, I'm following it

00:52:47.120 with great interest,

00:52:48.320 and I, too,

00:52:49.060 I feel like Norma Rae.

00:52:50.260 I'm on strike.

00:52:50.880 I'm ready.

00:52:51.400 Right.

00:52:51.720 No, I don't,

00:52:52.420 I have no idea

00:52:52.940 what I'm doing.

00:52:53.420 They made me join me

00:52:54.420 just to do my very small

00:52:56.340 little part.

00:52:57.460 Like, oh, great,

00:52:58.120 I could get some

00:52:58.700 cool benefits.

00:52:59.540 I'll go to the meetings.

00:53:00.420 I'll go to the cocktail parties.

00:53:01.900 They'll be like,

00:53:02.560 ew, get it out of here.

00:53:03.340 Who is she?

00:53:03.940 What cocktail parties?

00:53:05.920 Yeah, there probably aren't any.

00:53:07.480 Let's talk about music.

00:53:09.060 So, I knew that

00:53:10.000 you were in a band.

00:53:11.100 We talked about this

00:53:11.760 when I interviewed you

00:53:12.480 a few years ago.

00:53:13.660 It was the Sharks,

00:53:14.860 Dennis Quaid and the Sharks.

00:53:16.280 That's right.

00:53:16.700 So, how now

00:53:16.940 have we parlayed this

00:53:18.360 into gospel,

00:53:20.260 into something

00:53:20.800 more about your faith?

00:53:22.920 Well, it's,

00:53:23.840 gospel music is,

00:53:26.420 I love gospel music,

00:53:27.860 and I grew up

00:53:28.760 in the Baptist church

00:53:29.780 and a lot of those hymns,

00:53:33.280 five of which

00:53:34.120 are on the record,

00:53:36.340 I loved,

00:53:38.180 that I picked.

00:53:39.640 And I wrote a song

00:53:42.380 after I got out

00:53:44.020 of what I call

00:53:44.560 cocaine school

00:53:45.560 back in 1990.

00:53:48.000 And when I got off that,

00:53:50.260 you know,

00:53:50.540 it was,

00:53:51.200 that leaves a big hole

00:53:52.440 in you,

00:53:53.140 actually,

00:53:53.560 even though

00:53:55.280 you're not using it,

00:53:57.580 it takes a while

00:53:59.380 to really

00:54:00.060 get to feeling

00:54:04.160 like,

00:54:04.560 you know,

00:54:04.840 a human being.

00:54:05.720 You know,

00:54:05.860 you're gnawing your teeth

00:54:06.760 and you've got to

00:54:07.360 fill that hole

00:54:08.140 and,

00:54:08.640 you know,

00:54:08.900 that's an AA

00:54:12.100 or whatever,

00:54:12.700 they call it

00:54:13.060 a higher power,

00:54:14.200 but it's really

00:54:15.700 God.

00:54:18.080 It's really,

00:54:18.540 it's really the spirit

00:54:19.660 you've got to,

00:54:20.320 you've got to fill

00:54:21.200 that hole with.

00:54:22.040 And that's the only thing

00:54:22.960 that really fills

00:54:24.040 that hole.

00:54:25.600 And I wrote this song

00:54:27.660 called

00:54:28.080 On My Way to Heaven,

00:54:30.420 which I wrote it

00:54:31.420 for my mother

00:54:32.020 because,

00:54:33.640 to let her know

00:54:34.280 I was okay.

00:54:36.260 And,

00:54:36.300 and it's,

00:54:39.140 the whole record

00:54:39.980 really is

00:54:41.060 a spiritual journey,

00:54:43.520 not just from that,

00:54:44.760 that time,

00:54:45.500 but from growing up

00:54:47.560 as a kid.

00:54:49.020 And

00:54:49.220 hopefully I think

00:54:51.760 people will relate

00:54:52.560 to it

00:54:52.920 because it's,

00:54:54.140 I think it's

00:54:56.080 hopefully universal

00:54:57.160 in that

00:54:57.860 it is the,

00:55:00.040 the story

00:55:01.100 of a spiritual journey.

00:55:03.100 Well,

00:55:03.660 what I like about it is,

00:55:05.300 it reminds me,

00:55:05.860 when I,

00:55:06.140 when I first started

00:55:06.820 at Fox News,

00:55:07.760 we were basically

00:55:08.820 funded by these

00:55:10.320 Christy Lane commercials.

00:55:11.660 And he'd have this

00:55:12.520 Christy Lane thing,

00:55:13.460 like singing about faith

00:55:15.240 as she was on the,

00:55:16.860 you know,

00:55:17.040 she was oceanfront

00:55:18.020 as the sunset went down

00:55:20.040 and she had the

00:55:20.980 flowing dress

00:55:21.960 and the 1980s hair

00:55:23.980 and,

00:55:24.920 you know,

00:55:25.280 Christy Lane had never

00:55:26.160 committed a sin in her life.

00:55:27.260 That's how it sort of appeared.

00:55:28.820 This is very different,

00:55:30.060 Dennis.

00:55:30.320 This is basically like,

00:55:32.620 there have been

00:55:33.260 quite a few missteps,

00:55:34.960 but I fall into a soft place

00:55:37.920 thanks to you.

00:55:38.600 Well,

00:55:40.580 I,

00:55:41.040 I,

00:55:41.120 I titled the album

00:55:43.260 Fallen,

00:55:44.260 uh,

00:55:45.300 and it's

00:55:46.800 Fallen,

00:55:47.440 a gospel album

00:55:48.700 for sinners

00:55:50.000 because I wanted to have

00:55:52.280 the broadest possible

00:55:54.060 audience with it.

00:55:55.960 And,

00:55:56.280 uh,

00:55:56.740 that's,

00:55:57.700 uh,

00:55:58.000 you know,

00:55:58.300 that's,

00:55:58.620 it's,

00:55:58.920 it's my story

00:55:59.940 in a way,

00:56:01.060 you know,

00:56:01.380 it's,

00:56:01.800 it's,

00:56:02.780 uh,

00:56:03.760 it's got the church aspect,

00:56:06.180 but it's,

00:56:07.200 it's also got a little bit

00:56:09.200 of the outlaw thing

00:56:10.780 with it.

00:56:12.540 We have a little bit

00:56:13.620 from Fallen.

00:56:14.800 Um,

00:56:15.580 the,

00:56:15.820 the words are really beautiful.

00:56:17.080 You talk about feeling

00:56:17.900 so ashamed.

00:56:18.980 Let's let the audience

00:56:19.940 take a listen.

00:56:20.760 Fallen.

00:56:22.620 But fair things happen

00:56:24.700 to good people

00:56:26.160 When you're riding

00:56:27.580 with the devil

00:56:28.760 on the foggy night

00:56:30.880 Now I'm falling

00:56:33.120 I'm falling

00:56:35.700 Feeling so ashamed

00:56:40.880 All I want to do

00:56:44.300 is go back home

00:56:46.840 Now you reference

00:56:49.680 getting out of cocaine school,

00:56:51.840 but a lot of the audience

00:56:53.080 may not even be aware

00:56:54.280 of this chapter

00:56:55.060 of your life

00:56:55.860 and may just be looking

00:56:56.580 at you as this huge movie star

00:56:57.940 who's made 75 movies

00:56:59.100 and is in the household name

00:57:00.600 and you're rich

00:57:01.340 and you're famous,

00:57:01.960 but you know

00:57:03.200 of what you speak.

00:57:03.900 Uh, yeah,

00:57:06.200 you know,

00:57:06.660 during the 80s,

00:57:07.720 uh, you know,

00:57:09.500 that was part of the 80s,

00:57:11.640 you know,

00:57:11.960 that's back when

00:57:13.260 we were all having

00:57:14.280 blind fun

00:57:15.140 and or, you know,

00:57:16.520 thought we were

00:57:17.260 and it was fun

00:57:18.260 and then fun with problems

00:57:19.580 and then just problems

00:57:20.820 with that.

00:57:21.940 And I had one of those

00:57:22.920 white light experiences

00:57:24.200 where, uh,

00:57:26.040 I kind of saw my,

00:57:27.080 I saw myself

00:57:28.040 either dead

00:57:28.760 or in jail

00:57:29.540 or losing everything

00:57:30.700 I had

00:57:31.460 and worked for

00:57:32.280 and, uh,

00:57:33.460 so I checked my

00:57:34.420 self into

00:57:35.380 a rehab facility

00:57:37.100 that was back

00:57:38.520 before they had

00:57:39.580 the ones with couches

00:57:40.620 and pools

00:57:41.260 and stuff like that.

00:57:43.000 Uh,

00:57:43.340 and...

00:57:43.840 Hardcore.

00:57:44.800 Yeah,

00:57:45.320 and, uh,

00:57:46.460 it was, uh,

00:57:47.680 30 days

00:57:48.700 and I,

00:57:49.100 I was lucky I got it

00:57:50.360 and, uh,

00:57:51.020 you know,

00:57:51.260 I spent pretty much

00:57:52.420 the next kind of four years

00:57:53.800 kind of grinding my teeth

00:57:55.200 and,

00:57:55.860 and so I started,

00:57:57.540 uh,

00:57:58.120 I,

00:57:59.440 I read the Bible

00:58:00.500 again cover to cover

00:58:01.820 and,

00:58:03.000 um,

00:58:04.860 I was really struck

00:58:06.620 by the red words

00:58:07.740 of Jesus

00:58:08.300 and as a,

00:58:09.560 as a kid,

00:58:10.400 I had,

00:58:10.920 I'd grown up

00:58:11.500 at the Baptist church

00:58:12.320 but I got

00:58:13.120 disillusioned

00:58:14.740 with,

00:58:15.120 with what I saw

00:58:16.360 kind of hypocritical

00:58:18.320 or churchianity

00:58:19.540 as,

00:58:20.080 as I call it

00:58:21.060 and,

00:58:22.040 um,

00:58:23.720 you know,

00:58:23.980 it had these nice

00:58:25.700 sayings and everything

00:58:26.680 but it would,

00:58:28.300 people were doing things,

00:58:29.980 they weren't living them out

00:58:31.160 or at least in my mind

00:58:33.000 and,

00:58:33.520 uh,

00:58:34.640 uh,

00:58:35.320 but the problem

00:58:36.140 was with me

00:58:36.940 and,

00:58:38.140 uh,

00:58:38.420 but I,

00:58:39.320 not only the Bible

00:58:39.940 but I read the Dhammapada,

00:58:41.220 I read the Bhagavad Gita,

00:58:42.580 I read the Koran

00:58:43.600 and I was a,

00:58:45.840 what you call a seeker,

00:58:46.860 I guess,

00:58:47.600 you know,

00:58:47.940 looking for something

00:58:49.540 and it,

00:58:50.060 it came back

00:58:51.400 to the red words

00:58:52.320 of Jesus

00:58:52.920 in the New Testament

00:58:54.360 that really struck me

00:58:55.660 and really hit home,

00:58:57.520 hit my heart

00:58:58.200 and,

00:58:58.720 uh,

00:58:59.880 opened up

00:59:00.520 a whole new world

00:59:01.420 and it became

00:59:02.560 my,

00:59:02.880 uh,

00:59:03.100 personal savior.

00:59:04.120 There's a much

00:59:05.060 different relationship

00:59:06.120 that way.

00:59:08.120 So how,

00:59:08.340 how do you,

00:59:09.500 looking back on it,

00:59:10.520 you know,

00:59:10.700 did you just get sucked

00:59:11.360 into it because it was

00:59:12.280 okay,

00:59:13.060 you were in an industry

00:59:13.920 that,

00:59:14.800 I remember you telling me

00:59:15.500 when we sat together

00:59:16.080 the last time

00:59:16.560 there were,

00:59:16.900 there,

00:59:17.320 there were,

00:59:17.920 like,

00:59:18.800 provisions in movie contracts

00:59:20.220 allowing,

00:59:20.640 like,

00:59:20.960 a budget for drugs

00:59:22.120 or something,

00:59:22.600 you said something

00:59:23.400 along those lines.

00:59:24.320 Well,

00:59:24.540 yeah,

00:59:24.860 cocaine was in the budget

00:59:25.920 back then,

00:59:26.480 you know,

00:59:26.780 it's all that

00:59:27.380 side cash,

00:59:28.760 they,

00:59:29.300 cash on hand,

00:59:30.020 they have,

00:59:30.500 but it was,

00:59:31.380 and,

00:59:31.660 you know,

00:59:31.860 People Magazine,

00:59:32.660 I remember having,

00:59:33.560 you know,

00:59:33.960 a big story

00:59:35.480 about how cocaine

00:59:36.440 was,

00:59:36.920 you know,

00:59:37.200 not harmful at all

00:59:38.540 and it was just fun

00:59:39.400 and everybody bought

00:59:41.660 into it,

00:59:42.440 but,

00:59:42.740 you know,

00:59:43.360 then John Belushi

00:59:45.180 and Freddie Prince

00:59:47.800 and,

00:59:48.480 you know,

00:59:48.620 quite a number of people

00:59:49.760 started dropping

00:59:50.940 and,

00:59:51.580 you know,

00:59:52.700 towards the end of the 80s

00:59:54.180 it got pretty scary,

00:59:55.700 I think.

00:59:56.100 This is when you were

00:59:58.120 married to Meg Ryan.

01:00:00.560 It was right before

01:00:01.800 I got married.

01:00:02.980 We weren't married yet.

01:00:04.120 In fact,

01:00:05.200 we were to be married

01:00:06.700 and about two months

01:00:09.680 before our wedding,

01:00:10.560 I mean,

01:00:11.280 that's when that event

01:00:13.400 happened that I told you

01:00:14.400 about and I sat her down

01:00:16.540 on the couch

01:00:17.040 and told her,

01:00:18.540 you know,

01:00:18.860 I was,

01:00:19.360 you should know

01:00:21.860 I'm addicted to cocaine

01:00:23.280 and,

01:00:23.740 you know,

01:00:25.000 her jaw dropped

01:00:25.860 and she really

01:00:26.900 had no idea.

01:00:27.880 She just thought

01:00:28.520 I had a whole lot

01:00:29.540 of energy

01:00:30.080 and thought I was

01:00:32.780 going into rehab

01:00:33.880 and stuff

01:00:34.520 and she really

01:00:35.100 stuck with me

01:00:35.920 and really,

01:00:37.500 really,

01:00:39.440 I'm grateful

01:00:40.220 for that at the time.

01:00:41.320 She had a lot

01:00:41.860 of support

01:00:42.500 and,

01:00:44.180 hmm.

01:00:45.640 I can say

01:00:46.400 I believe it

01:00:47.000 because I'm one

01:00:48.020 of those people

01:00:48.560 who I'll go out

01:00:49.660 to dinner

01:00:50.040 with a group

01:00:50.860 of friends

01:00:51.320 and,

01:00:52.040 you know,

01:00:52.260 I'll meet somebody

01:00:53.000 new at the table

01:00:53.720 and later I'll be like,

01:00:54.800 that guy was so weird.

01:00:55.720 It was so strange.

01:00:56.720 You know,

01:00:56.880 and my husband Doug

01:00:57.520 will be like,

01:00:58.260 Meg,

01:00:58.520 he was on drugs.

01:00:59.420 I'm like,

01:00:59.760 what?

01:01:00.480 What?

01:01:00.820 I never know.

01:01:01.960 I have no,

01:01:02.780 I am the worst drug detector

01:01:04.460 alive.

01:01:05.280 Why was he sweating so much?

01:01:05.580 Right?

01:01:06.180 Why did he go to the bathroom

01:01:07.180 like 12 times?

01:01:08.320 He should see a doctor

01:01:09.880 about that.

01:01:11.920 So,

01:01:12.500 I believe it is possible

01:01:13.820 to have someone

01:01:14.520 in your life

01:01:15.020 who's on drugs

01:01:15.520 without you knowing,

01:01:16.380 although these are not people

01:01:17.360 I was ever married to.

01:01:19.200 So,

01:01:19.640 yeah,

01:01:19.760 so you get the help

01:01:20.480 that you needed

01:01:21.660 and then you

01:01:24.480 wind up

01:01:25.840 divorcing Meg Ryan

01:01:27.220 and you had

01:01:27.760 some other relationships

01:01:28.660 in there.

01:01:29.380 that was,

01:01:29.820 what,

01:01:31.060 11,

01:01:31.720 12 years later.

01:01:33.320 Yeah,

01:01:33.500 your relationships

01:01:34.080 have been pretty good.

01:01:35.040 Your first wife

01:01:35.580 was I think five years,

01:01:36.580 Meg Ryan was 10.

01:01:38.500 Yeah.

01:01:38.860 And then came,

01:01:39.780 forgive me,

01:01:40.160 I forget the mother

01:01:40.940 of your twins,

01:01:41.700 her name.

01:01:42.580 Kimberly.

01:01:43.660 Kimberly,

01:01:44.240 yeah.

01:01:44.460 And then you,

01:01:46.820 ever the optimist,

01:01:48.300 have found love again.

01:01:51.320 Look at you,

01:01:52.040 you're basically

01:01:52.540 a newlywed.

01:01:55.000 Yeah,

01:01:55.620 we've been,

01:01:56.760 Laura and I,

01:01:58.000 three years

01:01:59.220 and we're coming up

01:02:00.500 on,

01:02:00.880 what,

01:02:01.080 five years

01:02:01.540 being together

01:02:02.160 and she's really

01:02:03.560 the love of my life

01:02:04.680 and,

01:02:05.460 you know,

01:02:05.700 I wasn't looking for her.

01:02:06.860 I was really

01:02:08.260 kind of giving up

01:02:09.080 on all that

01:02:09.900 and she comes along

01:02:12.180 and life surprises

01:02:13.740 just so much

01:02:14.600 and we just have

01:02:15.620 the greatest relationship,

01:02:17.840 just a lot of joy,

01:02:20.480 joy through everything,

01:02:22.760 joy through,

01:02:23.440 you know,

01:02:23.740 the adversities

01:02:24.880 that life throws at you

01:02:26.340 and the good things,

01:02:28.300 the bad things.

01:02:29.700 It's just,

01:02:30.480 it's wonderful

01:02:31.580 and what I love about it

01:02:33.820 is so,

01:02:34.380 it's,

01:02:35.400 I think,

01:02:36.520 really the most honest

01:02:38.340 relationship I've ever had.

01:02:40.620 Why do you say that?

01:02:41.720 Well,

01:02:43.680 because,

01:02:44.140 I don't know,

01:02:44.900 it's people,

01:02:46.680 I don't know,

01:02:47.000 we feel like

01:02:47.620 I threw shame

01:02:48.600 or this or that.

01:02:49.620 We feel like

01:02:50.060 we have to hide things

01:02:51.240 from one another

01:02:52.040 or we can't say that

01:02:54.100 because,

01:02:54.820 you know,

01:02:55.700 this will all go away

01:02:56.980 or whatever.

01:02:57.720 Are you afraid to show

01:02:58.580 who you really are?

01:02:59.940 Sometimes you don't even know

01:03:01.200 who you really are

01:03:02.300 and that's probably

01:03:04.460 most of the time

01:03:05.440 and we just talk

01:03:08.460 about everything

01:03:09.260 and it feels so easy

01:03:12.980 doing that

01:03:13.820 which was so difficult

01:03:15.540 before.

01:03:16.280 I mean,

01:03:16.460 it's hard enough

01:03:17.100 for men to talk anyway,

01:03:18.600 you know,

01:03:18.940 about their feelings

01:03:19.860 or about what's going on

01:03:21.500 with them

01:03:21.940 and,

01:03:23.140 you know,

01:03:23.620 it's just different.

01:03:25.980 She's not only beautiful,

01:03:27.740 she's smart.

01:03:29.300 I read that she was

01:03:30.460 valedictorian

01:03:31.460 in her class

01:03:32.020 at Pepperdine.

01:03:33.240 She's an accountant.

01:03:34.120 She's got

01:03:35.320 intellectual chops.

01:03:37.120 She has a double master's

01:03:38.480 in economics

01:03:39.720 from the Combs School

01:03:41.120 and from Notre Dame

01:03:42.520 and she was working

01:03:44.420 on her PhD

01:03:45.120 when I met her

01:03:45.960 and I was a little

01:03:47.340 disruptive in that,

01:03:49.560 I think.

01:03:50.720 Now,

01:03:51.180 she's almost 40 years younger

01:03:53.840 so,

01:03:55.100 and we talked about

01:03:55.860 the last time,

01:03:56.320 almost 40 years younger

01:03:57.060 but you keep yourself

01:03:58.240 in shape.

01:03:58.960 You were telling me

01:03:59.340 you go to the gym

01:03:59.880 every day

01:04:00.380 because you're vain.

01:04:01.760 That's good.

01:04:02.200 I like that you admit it.

01:04:03.100 Most of us are.

01:04:06.080 So how is that,

01:04:06.900 is it even a factor?

01:04:08.160 I think if you younger,

01:04:09.180 if you marry somebody

01:04:09.900 that much younger

01:04:10.420 who's smart,

01:04:11.640 it can be an equalizer.

01:04:12.800 That's important.

01:04:13.500 If you married some dope,

01:04:14.620 I think that would get old fast.

01:04:16.180 Oh,

01:04:16.340 she's,

01:04:16.840 I don't want to say

01:04:17.880 she's an old soul

01:04:18.960 or whatever

01:04:19.520 but she's just,

01:04:20.680 you know,

01:04:22.420 I,

01:04:23.180 we just don't even

01:04:23.900 think about it.

01:04:24.700 I don't know

01:04:25.060 how it comes up

01:04:25.940 and,

01:04:26.880 you know,

01:04:28.620 I wasn't looking for it.

01:04:29.860 I wasn't even looking for,

01:04:30.900 you know,

01:04:31.080 somebody younger

01:04:31.920 or anything like that.

01:04:34.500 People tell me

01:04:35.300 that I have

01:04:35.780 kind of a young spirit

01:04:36.840 about me,

01:04:37.420 you know,

01:04:37.600 because I have,

01:04:38.720 I'm always going

01:04:39.500 but you just never know

01:04:42.760 who God's going to

01:04:45.380 put in your path.

01:04:48.060 Now,

01:04:48.540 if my math is correct,

01:04:50.600 the parent trap

01:04:51.260 just hit 25.

01:04:52.500 She's 30.

01:04:53.240 so she was five

01:04:54.140 when you made that movie.

01:04:55.460 Yeah.

01:04:56.280 Is that weird?

01:05:01.040 Well,

01:05:01.520 you got to live with that.

01:05:02.840 There it is.

01:05:06.260 Yeah.

01:05:08.460 We have a lot of fun

01:05:09.520 with that actually.

01:05:11.300 With the whole Meredith thing

01:05:12.840 because I have twins,

01:05:14.020 you know.

01:05:15.200 Yeah.

01:05:15.560 Like you,

01:05:16.180 you could have married her

01:05:17.060 or adopted her.

01:05:20.820 She doesn't have a twin.

01:05:21.980 Look,

01:05:23.620 I think it's

01:05:24.380 very optimistic.

01:05:25.520 I always root for people

01:05:26.660 who,

01:05:27.140 if your first marriage

01:05:27.880 doesn't work,

01:05:28.360 second,

01:05:28.660 third,

01:05:28.800 whatever.

01:05:29.300 It's like,

01:05:29.840 so optimistic.

01:05:30.420 I say it's my fourth

01:05:31.860 and final.

01:05:33.360 Yes.

01:05:33.840 I like that.

01:05:34.660 Good.

01:05:35.460 Well,

01:05:35.900 and what about kids?

01:05:36.940 Do you think about that?

01:05:37.980 Now at 69

01:05:38.740 and she's 30,

01:05:39.820 she probably wants them,

01:05:40.680 no?

01:05:41.580 Oh,

01:05:41.960 sure.

01:05:42.680 I'd be all up for that.

01:05:44.260 And,

01:05:45.300 you know,

01:05:45.900 we're just,

01:05:46.580 right now we're kind of

01:05:48.140 back and forth

01:05:48.880 between Los Angeles

01:05:50.780 and Nashville

01:05:52.060 and a lot of traveling

01:05:53.200 and so,

01:05:54.700 you know,

01:05:55.060 we're planning it

01:05:57.400 and also seeing

01:05:58.820 what happens with,

01:05:59.940 you know.

01:06:00.060 It's so different

01:06:00.560 being a man.

01:06:01.200 How nature takes its course.

01:06:02.300 It's so different.

01:06:03.400 I mean,

01:06:03.720 I could,

01:06:04.120 like when I was 35

01:06:05.900 and I fell in love with Doug,

01:06:08.120 we got married

01:06:08.700 when I was 37.

01:06:09.920 I mean,

01:06:10.120 that clock was ticking.

01:06:11.060 The thought of being able

01:06:11.760 to just be like,

01:06:12.260 sure,

01:06:12.440 I'll do it at 69.

01:06:13.780 It's so different,

01:06:14.840 Dennis Quaid.

01:06:15.500 So,

01:06:16.200 what do you think about,

01:06:17.280 like,

01:06:17.940 well,

01:06:18.240 you know,

01:06:18.460 do you worry though still?

01:06:19.440 Because it's like,

01:06:19.900 you know,

01:06:20.220 life is what it is.

01:06:21.400 Longevity is what it is.

01:06:22.620 You would still do it.

01:06:23.240 I don't.

01:06:23.620 You know,

01:06:23.920 I've been chasing kids now

01:06:25.800 for so long

01:06:29.180 and I really like it.

01:06:32.140 And kids,

01:06:34.500 they,

01:06:36.040 you're going to get to know yourself

01:06:37.360 a lot better,

01:06:38.940 you know,

01:06:39.240 who you are with kids

01:06:40.700 and never regretted

01:06:43.460 having one of them.

01:06:45.520 And it's,

01:06:46.360 you know,

01:06:46.620 just love,

01:06:47.580 love in the house.

01:06:49.160 It's wonderful.

01:06:50.460 That's so true.

01:06:51.960 Sometimes you want to

01:06:52.840 blow your brains out,

01:06:53.800 but yeah.

01:06:57.380 But it's really,

01:06:59.040 it's worth it.

01:07:02.800 Your eldest is famous

01:07:04.900 in his own right now.

01:07:06.560 Jack Quaid,

01:07:07.800 the son you had with Meg.

01:07:09.560 Yeah.

01:07:09.820 He looks like such a combo

01:07:11.180 of the two of you.

01:07:12.180 It's actually,

01:07:12.580 it's pretty remarkable.

01:07:14.520 Yeah.

01:07:14.740 He has made it

01:07:15.700 legitimately as a,

01:07:17.460 as a big Hollywood star.

01:07:18.400 He was in Hunger Games.

01:07:19.780 He's in Oppenheimer.

01:07:22.180 Yes,

01:07:22.620 he is.

01:07:23.760 You know,

01:07:24.340 it was obvious that he was

01:07:26.480 always going to be an actor.

01:07:27.900 You know,

01:07:28.160 his mom's Meg Ryan

01:07:29.200 and me and never,

01:07:30.400 we never pushed him

01:07:31.380 to do that.

01:07:33.560 But,

01:07:34.040 you know,

01:07:35.180 he just gravitated.

01:07:36.440 By the time he was four years old,

01:07:37.980 he had a video camera

01:07:39.100 in his hand,

01:07:39.660 you know,

01:07:39.800 one of those old 90s versions,

01:07:41.480 you know,

01:07:41.720 and was making movies

01:07:43.940 and it was just all throughout.

01:07:46.240 And,

01:07:46.320 you know,

01:07:47.560 then he got into high school drama

01:07:49.500 and kind of really did it

01:07:51.040 the right way.

01:07:51.640 That's what I did.

01:07:52.260 It was,

01:07:52.740 you know,

01:07:52.920 in school

01:07:53.460 and never let him be a child actor

01:07:56.420 because we kind of didn't want

01:07:58.080 that pressure on him.

01:07:59.500 But then came time,

01:08:01.480 he was going to get an agent

01:08:02.820 and

01:08:03.920 my agent actually,

01:08:07.840 you know,

01:08:08.820 since he was a kid

01:08:09.760 wanted to represent him.

01:08:12.140 And so,

01:08:13.380 you know,

01:08:13.540 I told him that.

01:08:14.100 He said,

01:08:14.420 no,

01:08:14.640 I want to do it on my own.

01:08:15.980 So,

01:08:16.760 he went out

01:08:17.720 and got his own agent

01:08:18.600 and find it.

01:08:19.440 Then,

01:08:20.020 you know,

01:08:20.300 here he's got The Hunger Games.

01:08:21.920 That's his first movie

01:08:23.100 is The Hunger Games.

01:08:25.200 And then his second job

01:08:26.560 he's working with,

01:08:27.360 Martin Scorsese

01:08:28.920 in vinyl.

01:08:30.920 That was a great series

01:08:32.040 that was on.

01:08:33.460 And so,

01:08:34.160 it was like,

01:08:35.600 hey,

01:08:35.940 Jack,

01:08:36.900 how about helping me

01:08:38.160 a little bit?

01:08:39.100 You know,

01:08:39.260 he's just,

01:08:39.880 he's doing great guns.

01:08:41.920 And,

01:08:42.080 you should tell him

01:08:43.080 to put you on

01:08:43.500 a Joe Biden plan.

01:08:45.240 Yeah,

01:08:46.160 just so.

01:08:49.300 He's,

01:08:49.920 it must be odd,

01:08:51.520 like to see the chip

01:08:52.560 off the old block

01:08:53.360 doing exactly what you do.

01:08:54.960 You know,

01:08:55.400 like we're all rooting

01:08:56.400 for our children,

01:08:56.980 but it must be,

01:08:57.680 it must be interesting

01:08:58.500 just to watch them

01:08:59.200 do exactly your craft

01:09:00.680 and do it in his own way.

01:09:02.940 Like,

01:09:03.200 did you,

01:09:04.140 how does it make you feel

01:09:05.080 when you go to a big movie

01:09:06.000 premiere of his?

01:09:07.000 It's,

01:09:11.000 I just,

01:09:11.460 I just feel so proud

01:09:12.480 of him,

01:09:12.820 actually.

01:09:13.320 He's on this show

01:09:14.140 called The Boys,

01:09:15.100 you know,

01:09:15.540 with Amazon as well.

01:09:18.260 And,

01:09:18.720 I just feel so proud

01:09:20.640 of him.

01:09:21.040 Every time I see him,

01:09:22.000 I forget,

01:09:22.900 you know,

01:09:23.680 that he's my son

01:09:24.520 a little bit.

01:09:26.060 And,

01:09:26.540 he's very much

01:09:28.200 his own person.

01:09:29.560 And,

01:09:30.260 you know,

01:09:30.480 he's had to deal

01:09:31.140 with this,

01:09:32.160 what do they call it?

01:09:34.920 The,

01:09:35.780 you know,

01:09:36.140 a NEPA baby thing.

01:09:38.440 But,

01:09:38.600 he's very much

01:09:41.880 his own person.

01:09:43.420 Who cares,

01:09:44.360 right?

01:09:44.640 In the end,

01:09:45.140 like,

01:09:45.820 yes,

01:09:46.040 he's got two famous parents.

01:09:47.400 Maybe that made life

01:09:48.340 easier for him

01:09:49.060 in breaking into

01:09:49.680 a very competitive business.

01:09:51.340 But,

01:09:51.820 I mean,

01:09:52.140 honestly,

01:09:52.500 it's tough enough

01:09:53.120 right now

01:09:53.420 to be a white guy.

01:09:54.300 So,

01:09:54.680 good for him.

01:09:55.240 Yeah,

01:09:55.440 but you gotta,

01:09:55.900 you gotta have the talent

01:09:56.860 to stay there,

01:09:57.680 you know?

01:09:58.640 Yeah.

01:09:59.040 And,

01:09:59.720 he really did do it

01:10:01.280 on his own.

01:10:02.500 Yeah,

01:10:02.840 of course,

01:10:03.300 they're not gonna

01:10:03.760 keep casting him

01:10:04.860 in these big films

01:10:05.940 if he doesn't have

01:10:06.900 the acting chops.

01:10:08.240 True.

01:10:08.660 Now,

01:10:08.920 how old is he now,

01:10:09.960 Dennis?

01:10:10.680 He's 32.

01:10:12.760 32.

01:10:13.420 Okay.

01:10:14.500 Because,

01:10:15.420 one of the things

01:10:16.080 that I was thinking about

01:10:17.060 was,

01:10:18.000 you know,

01:10:18.200 we talked about you

01:10:19.100 and your drug past.

01:10:21.700 And,

01:10:22.220 you know,

01:10:22.760 just this week,

01:10:23.720 I'm sure you saw that

01:10:24.820 Angus Cloud died,

01:10:26.260 this 25-year-old actor

01:10:27.680 who starred in Euphoria

01:10:28.940 they're not exactly

01:10:30.860 saying the cause of death.

01:10:31.080 I just saw a little bit

01:10:32.120 of that,

01:10:32.540 read about that

01:10:33.700 last night,

01:10:34.400 in fact.

01:10:35.160 Yeah,

01:10:35.700 it's very sad.

01:10:36.640 It's really sad.

01:10:37.920 Yeah.

01:10:38.120 They don't,

01:10:38.820 they're not saying

01:10:39.360 the cause of death,

01:10:40.260 but every,

01:10:40.680 like,

01:10:40.920 the directors

01:10:41.580 who worked with him,

01:10:42.480 they're saying,

01:10:43.400 like many of us,

01:10:44.460 he suffered with

01:10:45.340 addiction and depression.

01:10:47.920 So,

01:10:48.420 you know,

01:10:48.860 they're leading us

01:10:49.460 to believe it had

01:10:50.080 something to do

01:10:50.720 with one of those

01:10:51.340 possibly an overdose.

01:10:52.620 We just don't know.

01:10:54.220 Yeah.

01:10:54.620 I don't want to comment

01:10:55.840 on it.

01:10:57.000 No,

01:10:57.360 no,

01:10:57.620 I'm not going to

01:10:58.320 answer to you.

01:10:58.680 It's really tough.

01:11:00.100 These are the reasons

01:11:00.860 why I would be worried

01:11:02.160 if one of my kids

01:11:03.260 wanted to become

01:11:04.000 an actor.

01:11:04.880 The industry seems

01:11:06.080 to have a fair amount

01:11:07.180 of this.

01:11:08.420 I think it's

01:11:09.340 everywhere,

01:11:10.200 Megan.

01:11:10.680 I think it's just

01:11:11.840 not publicized

01:11:12.900 like it is

01:11:14.300 in the,

01:11:16.100 in the

01:11:17.120 entertainment industry.

01:11:18.960 It's everywhere.

01:11:20.000 It's in all walks

01:11:21.460 of life.

01:11:22.040 And it's,

01:11:24.420 so many people

01:11:25.520 are dying

01:11:26.040 of fentanyl

01:11:26.700 these days.

01:11:27.720 I mean,

01:11:27.920 things that,

01:11:28.600 you know,

01:11:29.100 weren't around

01:11:30.040 when I,

01:11:30.980 when I was doing

01:11:32.140 my thing,

01:11:32.460 it really scares me.

01:11:34.000 And,

01:11:34.460 but I don't,

01:11:36.260 I don't worry

01:11:36.640 about that with him.

01:11:37.660 He's got such

01:11:38.200 a great head

01:11:38.740 on my shoulders

01:11:39.380 and,

01:11:39.920 yeah,

01:11:41.220 he was,

01:11:41.560 he was such

01:11:42.040 an easy kid.

01:11:43.820 Well,

01:11:43.980 how is that possible?

01:11:45.020 Right?

01:11:45.200 How do you inoculate

01:11:46.000 from a family

01:11:47.220 of privilege

01:11:48.000 with the,

01:11:48.840 with the parents?

01:11:49.480 I mean,

01:11:49.620 he obviously got a divorce

01:11:50.460 when he was five.

01:11:51.380 He's spoken about it publicly

01:11:52.780 talking about how

01:11:53.740 that was sort of

01:11:54.800 young enough

01:11:55.280 to not totally get it.

01:11:56.820 Oh,

01:11:57.020 okay.

01:11:57.320 All right.

01:11:58.700 But he seems

01:11:59.800 very well adjusted

01:12:00.620 and even he has said that,

01:12:01.900 that like he thought

01:12:02.400 you guys handled it

01:12:03.160 pretty well

01:12:03.820 and that growing up,

01:12:05.280 you know,

01:12:05.540 you,

01:12:05.820 you were obviously

01:12:06.380 just mom and dad

01:12:07.440 even though he knew

01:12:08.200 you were famous

01:12:08.740 and he saw your divorce

01:12:09.780 on the cover

01:12:10.280 of People magazine,

01:12:11.060 he said,

01:12:11.560 with like the paper shred

01:12:12.600 down the middle.

01:12:13.820 So how did he turn

01:12:15.180 out well?

01:12:15.620 Like for all those

01:12:16.140 other parents out there,

01:12:17.220 what did you do?

01:12:18.420 Well,

01:12:18.980 I think you just

01:12:20.080 had to be there

01:12:20.780 for them,

01:12:21.340 you know,

01:12:21.640 as,

01:12:22.020 as a,

01:12:22.660 as a family,

01:12:23.340 it's,

01:12:23.540 it's about the relationship

01:12:24.720 you have with your kids,

01:12:27.480 you know,

01:12:27.840 it's,

01:12:28.540 you have to be there

01:12:31.060 and be present

01:12:32.340 and,

01:12:33.200 you know,

01:12:35.240 I,

01:12:35.400 I'm just,

01:12:37.140 I'm just talking about

01:12:38.340 if you want a relationship

01:12:40.800 later on in life,

01:12:42.260 you got to build that

01:12:43.360 all the way through

01:12:46.320 and,

01:12:47.780 you know,

01:12:48.800 he's always been,

01:12:49.700 we've always had

01:12:50.300 a great communication

01:12:51.380 and I think

01:12:53.660 that's really important.

01:12:55.600 Mm-hmm.

01:12:56.540 I think you're right.

01:12:57.700 I mean,

01:12:57.980 I think there's,

01:12:59.380 you know,

01:12:59.760 there's no do-overs

01:13:00.660 and if you miss the childhood,

01:13:01.920 if you miss the ability

01:13:02.680 to make your imprint,

01:13:03.600 then you just spend

01:13:04.500 a lifetime regretting it.

01:13:05.840 There's certain things

01:13:06.400 you can't get back.

01:13:07.980 Yeah,

01:13:08.480 true.

01:13:09.500 That's,

01:13:09.920 regret on that is,

01:13:11.360 that's tough.

01:13:14.100 Speaking of the fentanyl,

01:13:15.260 Jamie Lee Curtis

01:13:15.880 was on TV

01:13:17.220 recently saying,

01:13:19.020 she's,

01:13:19.300 she's admitted

01:13:20.380 she's a recovering addict

01:13:21.560 and her,

01:13:22.460 her drug of choice

01:13:23.120 was Vicodin

01:13:23.700 back in the day.

01:13:24.900 Mm-hmm.

01:13:25.140 She said,

01:13:25.680 she,

01:13:25.900 she thanks God

01:13:26.600 that fentanyl

01:13:27.360 wasn't out there

01:13:27.960 when she was using

01:13:28.940 because,

01:13:29.880 you know,

01:13:30.020 she probably would have

01:13:30.620 tried it

01:13:31.080 and she probably would have,

01:13:32.120 you know,

01:13:33.040 been hurt by it.

01:13:33.700 That's what she thinks.

01:13:34.720 Do you,

01:13:35.460 do you feel like that?

01:13:37.080 Probably,

01:13:37.300 yeah,

01:13:37.540 probably so

01:13:38.380 because,

01:13:39.200 you know,

01:13:39.700 you never think

01:13:40.280 it's going to be you

01:13:41.200 and you hear all the

01:13:42.460 scare stories

01:13:43.140 from your parents

01:13:43.920 or,

01:13:44.400 you know,

01:13:44.620 the media

01:13:45.180 or whatever

01:13:45.780 and,

01:13:46.500 I mean,

01:13:47.880 that's,

01:13:48.200 I remember

01:13:48.580 that's the way

01:13:49.300 it was back then.

01:13:50.540 I mean,

01:13:50.740 look,

01:13:51.140 cocaine,

01:13:51.980 the way they talked

01:13:52.660 about that and stuff

01:13:53.500 and it,

01:13:55.500 it's,

01:13:57.240 it's pretty,

01:13:58.420 it's pretty frightening.

01:14:00.520 Hmm.

01:14:01.460 Well,

01:14:02.280 at least now

01:14:03.300 we have more attention

01:14:04.440 being drawn to it.

01:14:05.540 There's certainly no

01:14:06.160 People Magazine articles

01:14:07.260 singing the praises

01:14:08.480 of fentanyl

01:14:09.120 right now

01:14:09.600 as a recreational drug.

01:14:11.280 So that's progress.

01:14:13.400 On messaging,

01:14:14.980 like,

01:14:15.200 what do you hope

01:14:15.660 to achieve

01:14:16.400 by sharing these stories,

01:14:18.000 like the stories of faith?

01:14:19.160 I,

01:14:19.500 it's not very popular

01:14:20.400 right now.

01:14:21.200 Faith is going sadly

01:14:22.400 down

01:14:23.600 in terms of

01:14:25.240 its popularity.

01:14:27.440 Church attendance

01:14:28.060 is at record lows,

01:14:29.580 not just church,

01:14:30.660 but temple,

01:14:31.220 et cetera.

01:14:32.260 I mean,

01:14:32.540 what do you,

01:14:33.100 do you hope

01:14:33.560 to inspire anybody

01:14:34.620 to give it another look?

01:14:36.320 Not necessarily

01:14:36.880 as you say,

01:14:37.920 church,

01:14:38.760 but just spirituality

01:14:40.280 and connection

01:14:41.100 with God.

01:14:42.160 I'm just trying

01:14:42.940 to connect with people

01:14:43.960 and just tell my story.

01:14:46.680 And it's funny

01:14:48.100 you say that.

01:14:49.140 I mean,

01:14:49.300 yeah,

01:14:49.500 church attendance

01:14:50.200 is compared

01:14:52.240 to like 1960

01:14:53.460 is completely

01:14:54.340 inverted.

01:14:57.580 People went to church

01:14:58.680 and I,

01:14:59.380 I got disillusioned

01:15:00.520 with church,

01:15:01.280 you know,

01:15:02.900 early,

01:15:04.280 you know,

01:15:04.560 and,

01:15:05.080 or what I call

01:15:06.640 churchianity,

01:15:08.100 you know,

01:15:08.460 and,

01:15:09.040 but I think

01:15:11.700 there's actually,

01:15:12.560 I think,

01:15:13.040 in COVID,

01:15:14.180 I think

01:15:14.660 there is kind

01:15:16.560 of a spiritual

01:15:17.300 reawakening,

01:15:18.340 I think,

01:15:19.720 that maybe

01:15:20.160 we're just starting

01:15:20.820 to see the effects

01:15:21.920 of.

01:15:23.460 in this country

01:15:24.300 because people

01:15:25.020 had been so busy

01:15:26.820 for so long

01:15:27.760 and,

01:15:28.600 you know,

01:15:29.560 they finally had

01:15:30.360 to like stop

01:15:31.260 and they were at home

01:15:32.240 and with all,

01:15:34.720 with their life

01:15:36.420 and I think

01:15:37.080 they became

01:15:37.620 contemplative

01:15:38.500 and the only thing

01:15:39.720 to do for a lot

01:15:40.500 of people

01:15:40.900 who,

01:15:41.500 you know,

01:15:41.700 play music

01:15:42.200 was go in the studio

01:15:43.240 and I think

01:15:45.100 they,

01:15:45.700 you know,

01:15:46.060 we all started

01:15:46.940 to turn inward,

01:15:48.620 I think,

01:15:50.040 and reevaluate

01:15:50.960 our lives

01:15:51.600 and,

01:15:52.000 and think about

01:15:52.920 the big questions,

01:15:54.900 I mean,

01:15:55.260 you know,

01:15:55.760 COVID caused

01:15:56.420 a lot of death,

01:15:57.380 I lost,

01:15:58.280 I lost

01:15:59.280 four or five

01:16:01.600 people that,

01:16:02.440 four,

01:16:02.720 four people

01:16:03.300 that I,

01:16:03.780 that I

01:16:06.060 dearly love

01:16:07.220 to it

01:16:07.680 and

01:16:08.180 it

01:16:09.980 makes you

01:16:11.560 think about

01:16:12.060 the big picture

01:16:12.800 and what am I

01:16:14.660 doing

01:16:14.960 and why am I

01:16:15.600 here

01:16:15.940 and,

01:16:16.660 you know,

01:16:20.460 there's not,

01:16:21.020 there's no answers

01:16:21.880 for a lot

01:16:23.380 of it.

01:16:24.840 And,

01:16:25.340 and where

01:16:25.940 am I going

01:16:26.800 next?

01:16:27.560 I mean,

01:16:27.740 that's something

01:16:28.360 we all,

01:16:29.060 we all contemplate.

01:16:30.880 What does it mean?

01:16:32.040 And you sit there

01:16:32.740 in church,

01:16:33.500 I do go every week

01:16:34.400 with my family

01:16:34.960 and I think of that

01:16:36.100 question all the time.

01:16:36.900 I too have had

01:16:37.920 loss in my life

01:16:38.640 too much

01:16:39.520 for the past year

01:16:40.380 or so.

01:16:41.580 And so you wonder,

01:16:42.680 I,

01:16:42.920 I will say I loved

01:16:44.660 the song on the album

01:16:46.080 I'll Fly Away.

01:16:47.020 I thought it was,

01:16:48.100 it spoke to some of this

01:16:49.600 but it also,

01:16:50.580 it's kind of fun.

01:16:52.840 Like,

01:16:53.260 it talks about

01:16:54.120 what's next a bit

01:16:55.060 but in a snappy,

01:16:57.440 it sounds,

01:16:58.060 I don't know,

01:16:58.400 a little honky tonk.

01:16:59.280 We have a little

01:16:59.860 clip of it.

01:17:00.540 We'll let the audience

01:17:01.100 hear it.

01:17:01.840 Take a listen.

01:17:02.300 Thanks.

01:17:02.480 It's not one.

01:17:03.780 Like a bird

01:17:05.280 from these prison walls

01:17:07.200 I'll fly

01:17:08.060 I'll fly away

01:17:12.080 I'll fly away

01:17:18.200 Oh glory

01:17:19.860 I will fly away

01:17:23.600 In the morning

01:17:25.400 When I die

01:17:28.140 Hallelujah by and by

01:17:31.060 I'll fly away

01:17:35.020 Dennis Quaid,

01:17:37.820 you're channeling

01:17:38.460 a little Johnny Cash

01:17:39.500 there if you don't

01:17:40.160 mind me saying

01:17:40.920 in a great way

01:17:41.720 Maybe a little bit

01:17:42.000 He was such,

01:17:42.920 he was such my hero

01:17:44.240 He still is

01:17:45.680 Jackson Hubley

01:17:47.800 who,

01:17:49.440 his father,

01:17:50.060 his father wrote

01:17:50.820 that song

01:17:51.220 I'll Fly Away

01:17:52.040 is in the background

01:17:54.600 on that

01:17:56.000 so I thought

01:17:57.160 that was kind of cool

01:17:58.160 and he,

01:17:59.580 unfortunately

01:17:59.960 he just passed

01:18:00.680 about three days ago

01:18:02.240 and like to send out

01:18:04.500 my regards

01:18:06.280 to his family

01:18:07.620 and we're sure

01:18:08.480 going to miss him

01:18:09.200 and,

01:18:09.960 but it was great

01:18:12.040 to have him

01:18:12.600 on the record

01:18:13.200 When you're singing

01:18:14.840 a song like that

01:18:15.860 you know,

01:18:16.520 with lyrics like that

01:18:17.580 which are addressing

01:18:18.600 some profound questions

01:18:19.760 but in a way

01:18:21.420 that picks up

01:18:22.080 the spirit

01:18:22.580 like,

01:18:23.580 what does that feel like?

01:18:24.920 You know,

01:18:25.400 that's because

01:18:26.400 I think that the

01:18:27.440 experience is

01:18:28.840 of God

01:18:30.180 and faith

01:18:32.200 is a feeling

01:18:33.060 of joy

01:18:33.660 You know,

01:18:34.320 it's called

01:18:34.640 the good news

01:18:35.440 is what it is

01:18:37.400 and I really

01:18:38.700 kind of feel

01:18:39.240 that Jesus

01:18:40.100 came here

01:18:41.580 to tell us

01:18:42.140 about heaven

01:18:42.680 yes,

01:18:43.020 but he also

01:18:43.460 came here

01:18:44.060 to,

01:18:45.100 I think,

01:18:45.980 teach us

01:18:46.420 about how

01:18:46.880 to have heaven

01:18:47.640 here on earth

01:18:48.520 and inside

01:18:52.200 of yourself

01:18:52.980 you know,

01:18:53.620 that's not always

01:18:54.260 easy or whatever

01:18:55.200 and a lot of it

01:18:55.980 just has to do

01:18:56.820 with,

01:18:57.120 you know,

01:18:58.980 faith

01:18:59.500 and

01:19:00.700 it's

01:19:01.940 that part of

01:19:03.480 we all know

01:19:04.660 that hole

01:19:05.160 that's inside

01:19:05.800 of ourselves

01:19:06.360 that,

01:19:07.060 you know,

01:19:07.260 it's usually

01:19:07.840 the last thing

01:19:08.520 we think of

01:19:09.040 at night

01:19:09.440 or the first thing

01:19:10.460 about when we

01:19:11.160 wake up in the morning

01:19:12.080 and

01:19:12.440 but

01:19:14.240 so I,

01:19:15.780 to me it's joy

01:19:16.860 you know,

01:19:17.620 my mom used to say

01:19:18.660 don't ever let anybody

01:19:19.720 take away your joy

01:19:20.780 and

01:19:22.480 it's good to live by

01:19:24.980 how important

01:19:28.040 has faith been

01:19:29.000 in your marriage

01:19:29.900 to Laura

01:19:30.300 God is

01:19:32.500 really part

01:19:34.300 of our relationship

01:19:35.160 it truly is

01:19:36.900 I think I

01:19:38.840 understand what

01:19:40.840 that means now

01:19:41.720 where I did not

01:19:42.900 before

01:19:43.360 you know

01:19:44.480 and I think

01:19:44.900 that comes through

01:19:45.500 having a personal

01:19:46.320 relationship

01:19:47.080 with God

01:19:50.020 is she

01:19:52.500 she's a faithful

01:19:53.240 person

01:19:53.620 oh yeah

01:19:54.800 she grew up

01:19:55.440 she grew up

01:19:57.100 like that

01:19:57.780 in fact

01:19:58.360 her parents

01:19:59.080 were missionaries

01:20:00.360 over in Japan

01:20:01.120 and

01:20:01.740 her father

01:20:03.200 is

01:20:03.680 he's a professor

01:20:05.520 and

01:20:06.260 he's a poet

01:20:08.020 he writes

01:20:10.680 his poetry

01:20:12.820 is very faith

01:20:13.940 driven

01:20:14.240 himself

01:20:14.740 and

01:20:15.220 they're great

01:20:16.160 people

01:20:16.560 how do they feel

01:20:18.400 about you

01:20:18.840 we all get along

01:20:21.060 great

01:20:21.540 it's got to be

01:20:24.180 so nerve-wracking

01:20:25.180 to meet the parents

01:20:26.200 at first it was

01:20:26.940 at first it was

01:20:28.620 yeah

01:20:29.100 for the age difference

01:20:30.740 and everything

01:20:31.220 but you know

01:20:32.060 they

01:20:32.360 they're

01:20:34.260 they're just

01:20:35.500 really good people

01:20:36.760 and

01:20:37.160 Laura and I

01:20:38.260 we feel about

01:20:40.540 each other

01:20:41.100 and

01:20:41.320 that's

01:20:42.640 a very natural

01:20:43.580 thing

01:20:43.980 she's got an

01:20:46.060 old soul

01:20:46.520 you have

01:20:47.040 a young

01:20:47.680 personality

01:20:48.240 so I feel

01:20:48.820 like

01:20:49.120 that could

01:20:49.940 that could

01:20:50.320 work

01:20:50.580 potentially

01:20:51.120 I could

01:20:51.440 see

01:20:51.620 why

01:20:52.380 why

01:20:53.060 why

01:20:53.420 it

01:20:53.560 landed

01:20:53.860 all right

01:20:54.340 standby

01:20:54.760 Dennis

01:20:55.100 there's more

01:20:55.440 to go over

01:20:56.080 we're gonna

01:20:56.480 take a quick

01:20:56.960 commercial break

01:20:57.400 we will be

01:20:57.840 right back

01:20:58.480 with Dennis

01:20:58.960 Quaid

01:20:59.200 right after this

01:20:59.940 they switched

01:21:01.920 places on us

01:21:02.960 Nick

01:21:05.340 I've had

01:21:05.740 Annie with me

01:21:06.420 all this time

01:21:07.160 well

01:21:07.660 I wanted

01:21:08.240 to know

01:21:09.600 and

01:21:09.780 and Hallie

01:21:15.640 I just

01:21:17.260 can't

01:21:17.600 believe

01:21:17.880 it's

01:21:18.200 you

01:21:18.480 last time

01:21:22.780 I saw

01:21:23.140 you

01:21:32.140 father

01:21:32.460 and I'm

01:21:33.920 headed into

01:21:34.340 my crazy

01:21:35.000 mixed up

01:21:35.480 teenage years

01:21:36.100 and I'll

01:21:36.700 be the only

01:21:37.260 girl I know

01:21:37.740 without a

01:21:38.160 mother to

01:21:38.540 fight with

01:21:44.620 squirt

01:21:45.100 Dennis Quaid

01:21:48.960 breaking the

01:21:49.560 rules of

01:21:50.020 never sharing

01:21:50.580 the stage

01:21:51.100 with children

01:21:51.800 or animals

01:21:53.420 he's broken

01:21:53.920 that rule

01:21:54.380 too

01:21:54.720 yeah

01:22:31.000 the most

01:22:31.460 talented

01:22:32.080 person

01:22:37.800 we got

01:22:40.280 to shooting

01:22:40.900 this scene

01:22:41.820 at 11

01:22:42.140 she's doing

01:22:42.680 like this

01:22:43.100 English accent

01:22:44.040 and you

01:22:45.060 know

01:22:45.240 an American

01:22:45.980 accent

01:22:46.380 and I

01:22:46.720 thought it

01:22:47.700 was two

01:22:47.940 different

01:22:48.220 people

01:22:48.620 for

01:22:50.420 everything

01:22:51.240 that she

01:22:54.240 and

01:22:54.720 just

01:23:06.360 you know

01:23:07.240 I

01:23:07.400 still

01:23:08.820 think

01:23:09.220 that

01:23:09.460 there's

01:23:10.060 her

01:23:11.080 story

01:23:11.960 not

01:23:12.260 over

01:23:12.540 and

01:23:13.020 obviously

01:23:13.640 her

01:23:13.960 story

01:23:14.200 is

01:23:14.360 definitely

01:23:14.900 not

01:23:18.840 just got

01:23:19.100 talent

01:23:19.400 like

01:23:19.620 oozing

01:23:20.000 out of

01:23:20.220 her pores

01:23:20.620 that one

01:23:21.000 there's

01:23:21.180 just

01:23:21.300 not

01:23:21.640 going

01:23:21.800 to be

01:23:22.060 keeping

01:23:22.480 it

01:23:22.660 keeping

01:23:22.920 that

01:23:23.140 down

01:23:23.500 and

01:23:24.540 you

01:23:24.660 can't

01:23:24.860 say

01:23:24.960 that

01:23:25.080 about

01:23:25.240 everybody

01:23:25.540 a lot

01:23:25.760 of

01:23:25.860 people

01:23:25.980 make

01:23:26.260 it

01:23:26.400 because

01:23:26.640 they

01:23:26.860 work

01:23:27.060 hard

01:23:27.360 or

01:23:27.580 what

01:23:27.720 have

01:23:27.960 you

01:23:28.140 she's

01:23:28.580 she seems

01:23:29.200 naturally

01:23:29.620 talented

01:23:30.460 I gotta

01:23:31.580 ask you

01:23:31.940 the question

01:23:32.340 of when

01:23:32.600 you look

01:23:32.920 back

01:23:33.280 on your

01:23:33.740 career

01:23:34.160 in the

01:23:34.400 75

01:23:34.760 movies

01:23:35.300 it's

01:23:35.600 unbelievable

01:23:35.980 I know

01:23:37.680 you told

01:23:38.060 me

01:23:38.200 I think

01:23:38.520 you told

01:23:38.740 me

01:23:38.840 last time

01:23:39.260 the right

01:23:39.660 stuff

01:23:39.980 is

01:23:40.240 one of

01:23:41.320 your

01:23:41.460 favorites

01:23:41.800 if not

01:23:42.160 your

01:23:42.320 favorite

01:23:42.740 but what

01:23:43.140 are the

01:23:43.780 ones

01:23:43.980 that jump

01:23:44.340 out at

01:23:44.660 you

01:23:44.820 sitting

01:23:45.040 here

01:23:45.240 right

01:23:45.420 now

01:23:45.700 well

01:23:47.200 Parent Trap

01:23:48.080 was one

01:23:48.820 of them

01:23:49.120 I really

01:23:49.600 Parent Trap

01:23:50.360 gave me

01:23:50.760 new life

01:23:51.400 you know

01:23:51.700 I

01:23:51.900 told you

01:23:53.720 about

01:23:54.080 getting off

01:23:55.800 cocaine

01:23:56.220 and all

01:23:56.640 that stuff

01:23:57.200 you know

01:23:57.640 you think

01:23:58.080 you're doing

01:24:00.260 the right

01:24:00.580 thing

01:24:00.880 and now

01:24:01.200 things are

01:24:01.560 going to

01:24:01.740 get better

01:24:02.160 but they

01:24:02.620 actually got

01:24:03.140 worse

01:24:03.460 it's like

01:24:03.920 I took

01:24:04.480 a year

01:24:04.760 off

01:24:05.200 to really

01:24:05.880 kind of

01:24:06.200 work on

01:24:06.740 myself

01:24:07.100 which turned

01:24:07.700 into two

01:24:08.500 and then

01:24:09.080 so it

01:24:11.480 was

01:24:11.880 Hollywood

01:24:12.760 forgets

01:24:13.220 about you

01:24:13.640 pretty quick

01:24:14.380 I found

01:24:15.400 out

01:24:15.700 and you

01:24:16.720 know

01:24:16.840 along came

01:24:17.300 the Parent Trap

01:24:17.900 about

01:24:18.260 six years

01:24:19.980 later

01:24:20.280 and it

01:24:20.660 gave me

01:24:22.420 another career

01:24:23.500 really

01:24:23.900 so it's

01:24:24.700 always

01:24:25.280 it's

01:24:27.160 that's

01:24:27.580 always

01:24:27.800 in my

01:24:28.160 heart

01:24:28.520 and

01:24:28.860 then I

01:24:29.340 would say

01:24:29.680 like the

01:24:30.200 rookie

01:24:30.660 Reagan

01:24:34.100 which I

01:24:34.600 just did

01:24:38.120 a bunch

01:24:39.140 of them

01:24:43.520 of father

01:24:43.860 son stories

01:24:44.620 which

01:24:45.000 always

01:24:46.340 vibrates

01:24:47.820 with me

01:24:48.280 why

01:24:49.260 because

01:24:51.920 well

01:24:53.260 it's

01:24:54.420 what guys

01:24:54.900 do

01:24:55.260 you know

01:24:55.580 they're

01:24:55.860 struggling

01:24:56.300 with their

01:24:56.680 fathers

01:24:57.100 inwardly

01:24:58.020 or outwardly

01:24:59.120 and who

01:25:02.300 they are

01:25:02.920 as

01:25:03.320 themselves

01:25:14.300 some of

01:25:17.780 the

01:25:17.920 that wells

01:25:18.700 up

01:25:19.060 in guys

01:25:20.540 did you

01:25:22.560 have a

01:25:23.220 struggle

01:25:23.460 with your

01:25:26.500 and

01:25:27.380 yes I

01:25:28.680 did

01:25:29.000 you know

01:25:29.400 there's a lot

01:25:29.780 of things

01:25:30.100 I don't

01:25:30.640 want to be

01:25:31.000 like that

01:25:31.740 and that

01:25:32.700 it wound

01:25:33.060 up like

01:25:33.540 that

01:25:33.880 or I

01:25:34.740 can actually

01:25:35.180 feel my

01:25:35.800 father

01:25:36.120 actually

01:25:36.540 inside

01:25:37.080 me

01:25:37.440 he passed

01:25:38.840 in 86

01:25:40.020 of a

01:25:41.640 heart attack

01:25:42.260 at 63

01:25:43.200 and

01:25:43.840 but

01:25:45.780 I could

01:25:46.580 it's

01:25:47.980 you know

01:25:48.860 I could

01:25:49.020 feel it

01:25:49.340 inside me

01:25:49.820 but we

01:25:50.400 wound up

01:25:50.760 being really

01:25:51.420 good close

01:25:52.500 friends

01:25:53.080 in the

01:25:54.780 latter part

01:25:55.260 of his

01:25:55.520 life

01:25:55.880 which was

01:25:56.480 really

01:25:56.860 wonderful

01:25:57.360 you know

01:25:57.960 my parents

01:25:58.400 were divorced

01:25:59.020 and he

01:25:59.440 was

01:25:59.680 when I

01:26:00.700 was about

01:26:01.300 11

01:26:02.200 and

01:26:02.800 so he

01:26:03.620 wasn't

01:26:03.900 around

01:26:04.320 but then

01:26:04.780 we wound

01:26:05.260 up

01:26:05.600 really

01:26:05.960 having

01:26:06.360 a great

01:26:06.900 adult

01:26:07.420 relationship

01:26:08.120 what did

01:26:09.640 he do

01:26:09.980 you were

01:26:10.300 raised

01:26:10.480 in

01:26:10.680 Houston

01:26:10.980 yes

01:26:11.360 yeah

01:26:12.080 he

01:26:12.240 was

01:26:12.380 an

01:26:12.500 electrician

01:26:13.240 okay

01:26:14.380 yeah

01:26:14.840 so you're

01:26:15.180 a good

01:26:15.380 Texas boy

01:26:16.020 which explains

01:26:17.080 to some

01:26:17.560 of your

01:26:17.760 connection

01:26:18.120 with faith

01:26:19.120 I do

01:26:19.460 think like

01:26:19.960 depending

01:26:20.640 on where

01:26:20.880 you grow

01:26:21.180 up

01:26:21.340 you're

01:26:21.500 more than

01:26:21.800 likely

01:26:22.020 to have

01:26:22.480 a connection

01:26:23.000 with God

01:26:23.560 and in

01:26:24.080 certain

01:26:24.300 places

01:26:24.620 like New

01:26:25.080 York

01:26:25.220 City

01:26:25.500 less

01:26:26.220 likely

01:26:26.420 more

01:26:26.660 accessible

01:26:27.160 yeah

01:26:30.380 and you

01:26:31.100 know what

01:26:31.360 else

01:26:31.540 not just

01:26:31.900 God

01:26:32.100 but love

01:26:32.900 of country

01:26:33.360 love of

01:26:33.900 God

01:26:34.160 love of

01:26:34.580 love of

01:26:35.000 country

01:26:35.420 selflessness

01:26:36.640 I think

01:26:37.400 there's a lot

01:26:37.840 of people

01:26:38.220 in those

01:26:38.620 big cities

01:26:39.180 that have

01:26:39.800 a love

01:26:40.080 of country

01:26:40.560 and a love

01:26:41.000 of God

01:26:41.480 too

01:26:41.820 you know

01:26:42.960 you know

01:26:43.260 what it is

01:26:43.740 though

01:26:44.000 the young

01:26:46.100 people are

01:26:46.460 not feeling

01:26:46.880 the love

01:26:47.260 of country

01:26:47.620 we actually

01:26:48.040 just saw

01:26:48.440 this in

01:26:48.760 a poll

01:26:49.240 in 19

01:26:50.860 hold on

01:26:51.940 a second

01:26:52.260 I wrote

01:26:53.240 okay

01:26:53.580 Gallup

01:26:54.920 in get

01:26:56.080 this

01:26:56.460 2013

01:26:58.420 so that's

01:26:59.720 10 years

01:27:00.600 ago

01:27:00.940 back

01:27:01.800 back then

01:27:02.020 85%

01:27:02.860 of people

01:27:04.060 aged 18

01:27:04.960 to 29

01:27:05.480 felt

01:27:07.220 patriotic

01:27:07.980 85

01:27:09.140 that's just

01:27:10.200 10 years

01:27:10.580 ago

01:27:10.760 guess what

01:27:11.120 it is

01:27:11.340 today

01:27:11.620 18

01:27:12.980 18%

01:27:14.680 yes

01:27:16.140 you know

01:27:17.260 right before

01:27:17.660 the right

01:27:18.060 stuff

01:27:18.580 right before

01:27:19.360 the right

01:27:19.740 stuff

01:27:20.080 came out

01:27:20.940 we had a

01:27:22.260 screening

01:27:22.620 of it

01:27:23.040 and

01:27:23.400 somebody

01:27:25.220 said they

01:27:25.840 were in

01:27:26.460 a bathroom

01:27:27.000 and another

01:27:28.300 person came

01:27:29.060 into the

01:27:30.360 bathroom

01:27:30.760 you know

01:27:31.380 after the

01:27:31.900 screening

01:27:32.160 I don't

01:27:33.780 know what's

01:27:34.140 going on

01:27:34.800 I got to

01:27:36.960 feel patriotic

01:27:37.980 it's like

01:27:38.660 about that

01:27:39.460 movie

01:27:39.780 what's going

01:27:40.500 on

01:27:40.780 and it

01:27:41.460 was kind

01:27:41.820 of it

01:27:42.120 reminds me

01:27:42.960 of what's

01:27:43.760 going on

01:27:44.080 today

01:27:44.260 reminds me

01:27:44.860 very much

01:27:45.620 of the

01:27:48.180 way it

01:27:48.500 was back

01:27:49.720 then too

01:27:50.300 you know

01:27:50.640 that was

01:27:50.940 the time

01:27:51.380 of like

01:27:51.820 you know

01:27:53.360 Iran

01:27:55.140 the Iran

01:27:55.740 hostages

01:27:56.420 we were

01:27:57.240 you know

01:27:57.700 we sort

01:27:58.380 of given

01:27:58.740 up as a

01:27:59.280 country

01:27:59.600 and I

01:28:00.260 just

01:28:00.500 I think

01:28:01.180 that

01:28:01.560 it's going

01:28:02.900 to come

01:28:03.140 back around

01:28:03.800 it really

01:28:04.440 this is

01:28:04.840 America

01:28:05.360 even during

01:28:06.200 the

01:28:06.360 Revolutionary

01:28:07.200 War

01:28:07.520 they were

01:28:08.000 you know

01:28:08.660 and we

01:28:09.580 went through

01:28:09.920 the Civil

01:28:10.340 War

01:28:10.740 and it's

01:28:11.600 it's always

01:28:12.400 ebbed and

01:28:12.980 flowed

01:28:13.460 and it's

01:28:13.860 part of the

01:28:14.300 strength of

01:28:14.860 this country

01:28:15.400 is to

01:28:15.880 be able

01:28:16.580 to bend

01:28:17.720 and then

01:28:18.920 snap back

01:28:19.960 and I

01:28:20.720 really have

01:28:21.580 faith in

01:28:22.020 this country

01:28:22.480 that that

01:28:23.020 is going

01:28:23.620 to come

01:28:23.880 back

01:28:24.260 I certainly

01:28:25.800 hope you're

01:28:26.200 right

01:28:26.420 I mean

01:28:26.940 I've been

01:28:27.680 railing on

01:28:28.060 the show

01:28:28.360 about the

01:28:28.760 women's

01:28:29.260 national soccer

01:28:29.960 team out

01:28:30.520 there at

01:28:30.860 the World

01:28:31.120 Cup

01:28:31.380 they won't

01:28:32.320 sing

01:28:32.620 Dennis

01:28:32.920 they won't

01:28:33.560 put their

01:28:33.840 hands on

01:28:34.200 their hearts

01:28:34.640 they won't

01:28:35.800 they don't

01:28:37.100 feel prideful

01:28:38.080 when they're

01:28:38.500 out there

01:28:39.000 even though

01:28:39.560 they're

01:28:39.920 representing

01:28:40.600 the United

01:28:41.940 States of

01:28:42.760 America

01:28:43.340 yes

01:28:43.980 we've got

01:28:44.920 some flaws

01:28:45.500 yes there

01:28:46.120 have been

01:28:46.320 some warts

01:28:46.900 but

01:28:47.900 we're so

01:28:48.540 much more

01:28:49.000 good than

01:28:49.420 68 Olympic

01:28:50.360 games

01:28:50.920 with the

01:28:51.700 fist in

01:28:52.180 the air

01:28:52.640 and

01:28:53.080 that's

01:28:54.800 but

01:28:55.220 I do

01:28:57.100 I think

01:28:58.880 I have

01:29:00.060 I have a

01:29:01.800 faith that

01:29:02.260 the people

01:29:02.960 are going to

01:29:03.520 come together

01:29:04.180 and I think

01:29:04.660 the pendulum

01:29:05.120 has already

01:29:05.660 started to

01:29:06.280 swing back

01:29:06.920 I really do

01:29:07.900 do you

01:29:08.920 why

01:29:09.300 because

01:29:12.760 we're

01:29:14.320 our country

01:29:15.180 is an

01:29:15.540 experiment

01:29:16.060 it really

01:29:16.900 is

01:29:17.200 and sometimes

01:29:17.760 that experiment

01:29:18.840 goes awry

01:29:19.900 and tears

01:29:21.220 us apart

01:29:21.900 in a way

01:29:22.500 and you

01:29:23.460 know

01:29:23.580 there always

01:29:24.460 is a

01:29:24.860 revolution

01:29:25.320 going on

01:29:26.120 in America

01:29:27.040 and

01:29:28.040 but

01:29:29.740 we all

01:29:31.080 we've got

01:29:31.920 it back

01:29:32.740 together

01:29:33.140 in the past

01:29:34.140 and we will

01:29:34.660 now too

01:29:35.280 I mean

01:29:35.680 I look back

01:29:36.440 at the 70s

01:29:37.300 and

01:29:37.660 we had

01:29:39.420 written

01:29:39.700 ourselves

01:29:40.200 off

01:29:40.640 really

01:29:40.980 that

01:29:41.500 we were

01:29:42.500 on the

01:29:42.880 decline

01:29:43.440 and

01:29:44.740 we came

01:29:45.700 roaring

01:29:46.000 back

01:29:46.500 and

01:29:47.800 who

01:29:48.220 was the

01:29:48.820 president

01:29:49.140 who brought

01:29:49.700 us back

01:29:50.200 Ronald Reagan

01:29:51.960 it's not

01:29:54.720 a pro

01:29:55.060 but

01:29:55.880 there was

01:29:57.440 a yearning

01:29:58.080 there already

01:29:58.840 going on

01:29:59.720 and

01:30:00.800 I think

01:30:02.040 I do

01:30:03.960 believe

01:30:04.260 that

01:30:04.500 whoever's

01:30:06.040 president

01:30:06.380 in the

01:30:06.900 United

01:30:07.160 States

01:30:07.560 really

01:30:08.240 is a

01:30:09.060 reflection

01:30:09.520 of

01:30:10.360 what is

01:30:10.940 going on

01:30:11.720 with the

01:30:13.160 American

01:30:13.480 people

01:30:14.020 at the

01:30:16.040 time

01:30:16.440 and

01:30:17.440 it's

01:30:19.200 it's

01:30:21.100 the

01:30:22.260 in a way

01:30:23.000 that kind

01:30:23.320 of

01:30:23.440 that we

01:30:24.680 get the

01:30:25.020 president

01:30:25.360 that we

01:30:25.960 deserve

01:30:26.420 in a

01:30:27.300 sense

01:30:27.540 because

01:30:27.900 it is

01:30:28.900 a reflection

01:30:29.460 of what

01:30:30.000 is happening

01:30:30.600 and there's

01:30:31.800 so much

01:30:32.140 divisiveness

01:30:32.940 which is

01:30:33.560 built up

01:30:34.220 and political

01:30:35.880 correctness

01:30:36.640 and just

01:30:37.140 the ability

01:30:37.940 to

01:30:38.900 state the

01:30:40.700 obvious

01:30:41.260 common

01:30:41.920 sense

01:30:42.500 and

01:30:43.020 but

01:30:44.380 I

01:30:44.840 it's

01:30:45.740 coming

01:30:45.960 back

01:30:46.360 I can

01:30:47.580 already

01:30:47.760 feel it

01:30:48.280 I

01:30:49.420 know

01:30:49.580 you're

01:30:49.880 you're

01:30:50.360 an

01:30:50.460 independent

01:30:50.940 which is

01:30:52.080 yeah

01:30:52.620 that's

01:30:53.000 about as

01:30:53.340 right

01:30:53.660 as you're

01:30:54.040 allowed

01:30:54.320 to be

01:30:54.820 in Hollywood

01:30:57.340 well I

01:31:00.040 voted both

01:31:01.060 ways

01:31:01.480 throughout

01:31:02.260 my life

01:31:02.960 you know

01:31:03.380 Ronald

01:31:04.180 Reagan

01:31:04.460 was the

01:31:04.880 first

01:31:05.200 president

01:31:06.180 that

01:31:06.700 I

01:31:07.000 no

01:31:07.400 actually

01:31:07.780 I

01:31:08.100 voted

01:31:08.360 for

01:31:08.540 Jimmy

01:31:08.780 Carter

01:31:09.140 and

01:31:10.220 then

01:31:10.340 I

01:31:10.480 voted

01:31:10.680 for

01:31:10.900 Ronald

01:31:11.140 Reagan

01:31:11.640 I

01:31:13.740 don't

01:31:13.880 think

01:31:14.060 you

01:31:14.160 were

01:31:14.280 alone

01:31:14.560 in

01:31:14.960 we

01:32:45.740 really

01:32:45.980 do

01:32:46.340 and

01:32:47.480 I

01:32:49.920 that

01:32:50.300 and

01:32:51.220 it's

01:32:51.740 I

01:32:52.640 think

01:32:52.780 right

01:32:53.020 now

01:32:53.260 we're

01:32:53.460 just

01:32:53.680 kind

01:32:53.960 of

01:32:54.220 talking

01:32:56.420 each

01:32:56.640 other

01:32:56.980 and

01:32:57.880 and

01:32:57.900 but

01:32:59.520 it's

01:33:00.940 you

01:33:01.340 know

01:33:01.500 I'm

01:33:01.940 not

01:33:02.560 like

01:33:02.800 afraid

01:33:03.180 of

01:33:03.420 it

01:33:03.580 but

01:33:03.880 you

01:33:04.540 know

01:33:04.640 I

01:33:04.780 don't

01:33:05.000 want

01:33:05.160 to

01:33:05.340 alienate

01:33:05.980 people

01:33:06.400 and

01:33:06.760 you

01:33:06.980 know

01:33:07.160 I

01:33:08.360 like

01:33:08.560 to

01:33:08.720 keep

01:33:08.960 my

01:33:09.260 opinions

01:33:09.640 to

01:33:09.840 myself

01:33:10.420 a

01:33:11.640 lot

01:33:11.960 but

01:33:12.980 it's

01:33:15.780 we

01:33:16.440 need

01:33:16.700 to

01:33:16.800 get

01:33:16.960 back

01:33:17.300 to

01:33:17.520 where

01:33:17.860 a

01:33:18.300 place

01:33:18.620 where

01:33:18.820 you

01:33:19.320 know

01:33:19.440 we

01:33:19.620 used

01:33:19.880 to

01:33:20.020 have

01:33:20.320 liberal

01:33:21.160 Republicans

01:33:22.020 and

01:33:22.700 conservative

01:33:23.620 Democrats

01:33:24.280 and

01:33:25.480 somewhere

01:33:26.240 in the

01:33:26.640 middle

01:33:26.860 there

01:33:27.280 that

01:33:27.780 were

01:33:28.000 at least

01:33:28.320 kind

01:33:28.560 of

01:33:28.960 controlling

01:33:29.860 things

01:33:30.420 that

01:33:30.720 were

01:33:31.220 you know

01:33:32.440 you felt

01:33:32.780 like the

01:33:33.120 adults

01:33:33.500 were in

01:33:33.820 the room

01:33:34.260 and we

01:33:34.880 weren't

01:33:35.160 that

01:33:35.420 far

01:33:36.140 apart

01:33:36.580 the

01:33:38.520 two

01:33:38.740 parties

01:33:39.180 and

01:33:40.580 it

01:33:40.960 seemed

01:33:41.500 to be

01:33:41.940 it

01:33:42.240 seems

01:33:42.480 to be

01:33:42.760 very

01:33:43.000 polarized

01:33:43.480 right

01:33:44.000 now

01:33:44.300 but

01:33:45.300 I

01:33:46.340 think

01:33:46.640 it's

01:33:47.680 like

01:33:48.480 I said

01:33:48.800 I think

01:33:49.160 the pendulum

01:33:49.620 is swinging

01:33:50.160 back

01:33:50.580 to the

01:33:51.580 middle

01:33:51.680 it's

01:33:51.900 interesting

01:33:52.300 like

01:33:52.800 you're

01:33:53.020 just

01:33:53.860 hearing

01:33:54.080 you talk

01:33:54.440 about

01:33:54.680 your

01:33:54.860 movie

01:33:55.200 choices

01:33:55.680 you've

01:33:56.600 done

01:33:56.740 a lot

01:33:56.960 of

01:33:57.080 films

01:33:57.360 about

01:33:58.000 faith

01:33:58.580 family

01:33:59.420 connection

01:33:59.940 as you

01:34:00.280 point

01:34:00.460 out

01:34:01.260 things

01:34:02.180 that

01:34:02.360 will

01:34:02.500 stir

01:34:02.800 one's

01:34:03.160 patriotism

01:34:03.800 from

01:34:04.040 the

01:34:04.380 right

01:34:04.620 stuff

01:34:05.000 to

01:34:05.280 Reagan

01:34:05.880 which

01:34:06.340 will

01:34:06.700 come

01:34:06.900 out

01:34:07.220 soon

01:34:08.000 and

01:34:08.920 we'll

01:34:09.140 have

01:34:09.380 you

01:34:09.480 back

01:34:09.800 that

01:34:09.980 happens

01:34:10.420 like

01:34:10.920 I

01:34:11.380 feel

01:34:11.560 you've

01:34:11.860 done

01:34:12.000 your

01:34:12.140 part

01:34:20.240 well

01:34:20.780 I
