Better Life. >>> ANDREW GILLUM HAS ATTRACTED
SOME BIG NAME SUPPORTERS IN HIS
BID TO BECOME GOVERNOR OF
FLORIDA.
FLORIDA. MY NEXT GUEST, LEGENDARY
TELEVISION PRODUCER NORMAN LEER.
SUCH AN HONOR.
>> HELLO, FANS.
>> YOUR FANS ARE HERE.
YOU HAVE BEEN HERE CANVASSING
FOR ANDREW GILLUM.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> WHAT BRINGS YOU TO FLORIDA
FOR ANDREW?
FOR ANDREW? >> I’VE KNOWN ANDREW FOR 25
YEARS.
YEARS. FOLLOWED HIM ALL OF THOSE YEARS.
I THINK IS ONE OF THE GIANT
TALENTS IN POLITICS.
NOT JUST POLITICS, HIS HUMANITY
AND ABILITY TO LEAD.
WITH ANDREW YOU WANT TO
EMPHASIZE ALL OF THE HUMAN
QUALITIES OF LEADERSHIP.
HE’S A GLORIOUS MAN.
>> WHAT DIFFERENCE DO YOU THINK
A CANDIDACY LIKE THIS MAKES FOR
THE COUNTRY?
THE COUNTRY? WE THIS THAT MOMENT WITH BARACK
OBAMA
OBAMA OBAMA.
OBAMA. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ELECTION
OF SOMEONE LIKE ANDREW WOULD
MEAN FOR THE STATE AND COUNTRY?
>> IT COULD BE THE START OF
SOMETHING.
SOMETHING. HE IS THE GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA
AND THERE ARE ALL OF THE OTHER
STATES AND THE COUNTRY.
ANDREW IS ONE OF THOSE YOUNG
PEOPLE THAT COULD GO ALL THE WAY
WAY.
WAY. THE IMPORTANT THING IS, THERE IS
ANDREW AND OUR ABILITY TO VOTE
AND WE HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AND
VOTE.
VOTE. >> WHEN YOU ARE KNOCKING ON
DOORS CANVASSING, WHAT ARE
PEOPLE SAYING --
>> I’M SORRY?
>> WHEN YOU ARE --
>> OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT
NORMAN LEER IS AT THE DOOR.
ARE YOU ABLE TO STAND?
>> WELL THEN WHAT DO THEY SAY
THEY CARE ABOUT?
WHAT DO PEOPLE CARE ABOUT?
>> THEY CARE ABOUT HEALTH
BENEFITS.
BENEFITS. THEY CARE ABOUT DECENCY, HONESTY
AND BEING ABLE TO INVEST TRUST
IN THE LEADER AND ANDREW IS ONE
OF THOSE PEOPLE, I KNOW YOU CAN
TRUST HIM ALL THE WAY.
>> YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE
GREATEST TELEVISION PRODUCERS OF
ALL TIME, YOU’RE A LEGEND.
"ALL IN THE FAMILY" HAS BEEN
SOMETHING I’VE -- A LITTLE
THING, ARCHIE BUNKER.
THERE WAS A THING CALLED THE
ARCHIE BUNKER VOTER DURING THE
TRUMP ERA.
TRUMP ERA. THE PERSON WHO WAS CRANKY ABOUT
RACE, CRANKY ABOUT DIVERSITY,
CRANKY ABOUT MULTI-CULTURALISM,
CAST A VOTE ON THAT BASIS ARE
STILL WITH HIM.
ARCHIE BUNKER WAS A GUY WHO WAS
CHANGEABLE.
CHANGEABLE. >> YES.
>> YES. >> HE WAS A GUY WHO HAD A HEART
IN THERE.
IN THERE. >> AND HE WAS AFRAID OF
PROGRESS.
PROGRESS. >> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> SO FOR THAT, DO YOU THINK
THAT THE VOTERS OUT THERE WHO
ARE TRUMP VOTERS, ARE THEY
ARCHIE BUNKER OR IS THIS
SOMETHING DEEPER AND MORE
INTRACTABLE?
INTRACTABLE? >> I THINK -- I DON’T THINK
THEY’RE ARCHIE BUNKERS.
I THINK THEY’RE PEOPLE WITH A
GREAT AND REASONABLE DISTRUST OF
LEADERSHIP.
LEADERSHIP. WE HAVE NOT PROVIDED FOR THEM
WHEN WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
CORPORATE AMERICA, RELIGIOUS
AMERICA, THEY EARNED BETTER
LEADERSHIP THAN WE HAVE
PROVIDED.
PROVIDED. >> IF YOU WERE TO MAKE A SHOW
LIKE ALL IN THE FAMILY NOW,
COULD YOU EVEN PUT FORWARD A
SHOW LIKE THAT?
COULD A SHOW LIKE THAT WORK IN
THIS POLARIZED ENVIRONMENT?
>> I THINK SO.
I THINK SO.
I’M THINKING ABOUT IT, ANOTHER
KIND OF WAY OF SAYING SOME OF
THOSE SAME THINGS.
>> >> OKAY.
THE THING WE HAVE TO SAY AT THIS
MOMENT IS SAY VOTE.
GET OUT THERE AND BE THE
AMERICANS WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO
BE.
BE. >> THE VOTER SUPPRESSION IS
INTENSE.
INTENSE. IT’S BACK TO THE 1960s LEVEL OF
BLATANTNESS OF THAT.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?
>> I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU
TALKING ABOUT IT.
WE’VE BEEN LISTENING TO YOU AND
TALK ABOUT IT.
>> I’M GOING TO HYPERVENTILATE.
>> COULD BE GOOD FOR RATING.
>> IT IS EXCITING TO SEE FAMOUS
PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF COME OUT.
YOU’RE SEEING THAT IN FLORIDA
AND GEORGIA.
AND GEORGIA. DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
THERE’S A LOT OF CRITICISM FOR
PEOPLE WHO ARE ALIENATED BY
HOLLYWOOD IN QUOTES.
DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
>> I DON’T KNOW.
I REALLY TRULY DON’T KNOW.
I THINK IT CERTAINLY MAKES -- IF
THERE IS AIR TIME AND MULTITUDES
OF PEOPLE WATCHING, IT HAS TO
MAKE SOME DIFFERENCE.
>> I HAVE TO ASK YOU.
YOU ARE OF UKRAINIAN EXTRACTION,
JEWISH BACKGROUND.
JEWISH BACKGROUND. WHEN YOU SEE THE VIOLENCE AND
ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE COUNTRY,
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT IN
2018?
2018? >> I MAKE OF THAT, IT’S IT IS A
PIECE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN
THE COUNTRY.
THE COUNTRY. MY FATHER WENT TO PRISON WHEN I
WAS NINE YEARS OLD AND ALL I CAN
THINK OF IS I WOULD NOT HAVE
GOTTEN THROUGH IT IF I DIDN’T
HAVE A CITIZENSHIP CLASS
TEACHING ME THAT I NEEDED TO
VOTE AND IT WASN’T THE AMERICAN
WAY.
WAY. IT MEANT EVERYTHING IN MYUNG
LIFE.
LIFE. >> IT MEANS EVERYTHING FOR ME TO
BE HERE.
BE HERE. >> I THANK YOU.
>> LET’S HAVE LUNCH.
>> LET’S DO THAT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
UP NEXT, YOUR MOMENT OF MAXINE.
VO: You’re feeling the squeeze.
