CHILDREN AND IMAGINE WHAT THE
CHILDREN HAVE SEEN.
GREAT REPORTING.
FROM THE CONFLICT ABROAD TO THE
WAR OF WORDS BACK HOME.
ACTRESS BIT MIDLER TAKING ISSUE
WITH COMMENTS SENATOR RAND PAUL
MADE ABOUT KURDS IN SYRIA
TWEETING OUT I DO NOT PROMOTE
VIOLENCE BUT RAND PAUL SAYS THE
KURDS ARE BEING INGRATES FOR
TUNING FRUSTRATIONS OUT ON US
TROOPS WHICH IS A REMINDER TO
BE GRATEFUL FOR THE NEIGHBOR
WHO BEAT THE BLANK OUT OF RAND
PAUL.
IS THIS ANOTHER CASE OF
HOLLYWOOD GOING TOO FAR?
JOINING ME IS ACTRESS KRISTY
SWANSON.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF BIT
MIDLER'S COMMENTS?
>> HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE,
COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY, NO NEED
FOR IT.
OBVIOUSLY SHE DELETED IT
KNOWING IT WAS COMPLETELY WRONG
AND INCITING VIOLENCE AND SORT
OF CHOOSING THAT.
IT IS WAY OUT OF LINE,
COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE.
>> NOBODY IS DENYING HER RIGHT
TO DO THAT, TO SOUND OFF.
YOU TEND TO BE MORE
CONSERVATIVE THAN LIBERAL.
I IMAGINE YOU GET MORE NEGATIVE
FEEDBACK FROM HOLLYWOOD FOLKS
THEM THAT MIDLER DOES.
>> I GUESS SO.
I HAVE HATERS OUT THERE ON
TWITTER.
EVERYBODY DOES.
NOT ALL OF HOLLYWOOD HAS THE
SAME MINDSET THAT MIDLER DOES
BUT SHE TENDS TO GO SO EXTREME
WITH THINGS AND THE TROOPS, OUR
MILITARY AND RAND PAUL, IT
HAPPENS DAILY WITH HER TO BE
HONEST.
I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE KEEPS
DOING IT.
DAVID: IS NO CONSEQUENCE.
IF YOU ARE CONSERVATIVE YOU DO
GET CONSEQUENCES.
I KNOW WHETHER CONSERVATIVES
SAY THE LIST YOU ARE ON IF YOU
ARE CONSERVATIVE MAKES IT MORE
DIFFICULT TO GET PARTS.
IF YOU ARE NEXT TO GET MOVIES
IF YOU'RE A DIRECTOR.
IS THAT TRUE?
>> IN MY CASE IT IS HARD TO
PROVE.
HOW CAN I PROVE THAT IS THE
CASE?
I HAVE NEVER NOT WORKED WITH
SOMEONE ON A PROJECT IN
HOLLYWOOD BECAUSE THEY WERE A
DEMOCRAT OR VOTED DEMOCRAT OR
LIBERAL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I DON'T HATE THAT STAND AND
NEVER HAVE.
BUT THE LEFT TENDS TO DO SO AND
THEY DON'T HIDE IT.
THEY ARE OPEN ABOUT IT.
DEBRA MESSING AND HER COSTAR
WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT ON
TWITTER.
WHOEVER IS ON THE LIST GOING TO
THE TRUMP FUNDRAISER.
WE DON'T WORK WITH THEM.
IT IS SO WRONG AND I DON'T
UNDERSTAND THAT MINDSET.
DAVID: CLINT EASTWOOD TENDS TO
BE MORE CONSERVATIVE BUT WORKS
WITH A LOT OF LIBERALS, BOTH
ACTORS AND DIRECTORS BUT YOU DO
GET THE SENSE IT IS GETTING
LESS TOLERANT IN HOLLYWOOD.
THERE WERE DAYS WHEN POLITICS
DIDN'T INTERFERE WITH WORK
RELATIONSHIPS OR FRIENDSHIPS.
JIMMY STEWART, OPPOSITE SIDE OF
THE POLITICAL EXTREME.
WE REACHED OUT TO SENATOR RAND
PAUL FOR A STATEMENT AND WERE
REFERRED TO HIS WIFE AT
STATEMENT.
BIT MIDLER HAS TWICE TWEETED
SUPPORT FOR THE VIOLENT ATTACK
ON RAND PAUL RESULTED IN
SERIOUS INJURIES TO HIM.
THERE IS 0 REPERCUSSIONS.
THAT IS WHAT WAS SAID BY THE
WIFE.
FINAL QUESTIONS YOU HAVE YOU
KEEP THINGS COOL WHEN YOU GET
INTO A HEATED DEBATE?
YOU HAVE A WAY OF WORKING WITH
FOLKS, YOU PROVED THAT IN YOUR
OWN CAREER DESPITE ANY
DIFFERENCES.
WHEN THE RHETORIC HEATS UP HOW
DO YOU COOL IT DOWN?
>> WHEN I AM ON SET OF THE SHOW
I DON'T TALK ABOUT POLITICS BUT
I HAVE FOUND BEING IN THE HAIR
OR MAKEUP ROOM PEOPLE COMING
AND TALK TRASH ABOUT
CONSERVATIVES OPENLY AND
BLATANTLY AND THEIR NEEDS TO BE
JUST A POOL THAT SAYS LET'S NOT
TALK POLITICS AT WORK.
ON THE RED CARPET.
OR BOARD SHOWS OR ONSET, AT
WORK AND EVERYTHING FOR
