HOW ARE YOU, GLORIA, ARE YOU WELL, THANK YOU SOOCH FOR
JOINING US ON THE SHOW TONIGHT.
>> YES, I AM PRETTY WELL.
I AM WAITING FOR THE ELECTION RESULTS TO SAY THAT I'M REALLY
WELL.
>> James: WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW IN THE WORLD?
I KNOW ARE YOU NORMALLY ON THE EAST COAST, WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT
NOW.
>> I'M IN SANT BARBARA, WHERE I HAVE BEEN SHELTERING FOR THREE
MONTHS AND IN A FARM HOUSE HERE SO I AM REALLY VERY LUCKY.
THE FIRST THROO MONTHS I WAS LOCKED IN MY APARTMENT IN NORNG
BUT THEN I CAME HERE AND HERE HI.
>> James: SO YOU-- THIS IS YOUR MOVE TO CALIFORNIA, IS THAT
HOW YOU STRUCK UP YOUR NEW FOUND FRIENDSHIP WITH MEGHAN MARKLE
WHO I AM A BIG FAN OF.
YOU SAID COLD CALLING, HOW DID YOUR FRIENDSHIP COME ABOUT.
>> WELL, ACTUALLY SHE AND HER HUSBAND AND BABY ARE LIVING AN
HOUR AWAY.
>> James: RIGHT.
>> AND SO SHE CAME AND SAID HELLO.
AND WE-- SAT AT THE TABLE AND COLD CALLED VOTERS JUST TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY WERE GETTING OUT TO VOTE.
AS YOU SAID, I STAY HOME TO VOTE AND ALSO IN TACKING WITH BOTH OF
THEM, I REALIZED THAT HER HUSBAND HARRY HAS NEVER BEEN
ABLE TO VOTE.
BECAUSE THE ROYAL, CAN'T VOTE.
>> James: I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU STRUCK UP THAT FRIENDSHIP.
I'M INTERESTED TO KNOW, WHEN YOU COLD CALL VOTERS, WHAT DO
YOU-- DO YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELVES, WHAT, HOW DOES THAT
CONVERSATION GO.
>> I'M GLORIA STEINEM AND SHE SAYS HELLO I'M MEGHAN MARKLE.
SOME PEOPLE CALL ME-- SHE WAS TRYING TO IDENTIFY HERSELF
WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, USING HER TITLE.
SO SHE WAS JUST USING IT.
>> >> James: WHAT WERE PEOPLE'S
REACTION WHEN YOU CALL THEM WITHIN THEY SAY OH NO, YOU ARE
KIDDING, NO, REALLY.
AND THEN WE HAVE A GREAT CONVERSATION.
YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD.
IT IS A FRIENDSHIP BECAUSE THEY KNOW US A LITTLE BIT SWRZ WHAT A
FANTASTIC THING TO DO OBVIOUSLY MANY WOMEN HAVE BENEFITED FROM
YOUR WORK ON WOMEN'S RIGHTS.
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING SUPREME COURT NOMINEE AMY CONEY
BARRETT.
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT SHE COULD SET WOMEN'S
RIGHTS BACK.
AND IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY, TO SPEAK STO HER NOW, WHAT YOU
WOULD SAY?
>> I WOULD SAY THAT I RESPECT YOU AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE
THERE.
BUT IF REALLY-- THE MAJORITY-- I MEAN YOU KNOW, THE PARTY AT THE
TIME THAT PUT THOMAS ON THE BENCH, IT DID NOT REPRESENT THE
MAJORITY OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND NOW THEY PUT A EOMAN ON THE
BENCH.
SO AS MARTIN LUTHER KING SAYS, THE LAW IS UNJUST, YOU HAVE A
DUTY NOT TO A BOY-- OBEY THE LAW.
>> James: SO MANY PEM ARE, ARE YOU WITH OURIED ABOUT THIS
ELECTION.
AMERICA FEELS LIKE A MOMENT OF REAL UPHEAVAL.
AND I FELT LIKE THIS, AND I HAVE ONLY LIVED HERE FIVE AND A HALF
YEARS.
HOW DOES AMERICA PROGRESS AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD THROUGH
MOMENTS LIKE WE'RE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW?
>> WELL, I THINK WE NEED TO GET OVER THIS.
THE WHAT SHOULD I DO AND JUST DO WHATEVER WE CAN EVERY DAY.
IT IS HELPFUL NOW TO REALIZE THAT PEOPLE AGREE WITH ALL THE
SOCIAL JUSTICE, WHETHER IT IS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, I KNOW, ALL
ITS MOVEMENTS ARE IN A MAJORITY-- MA JOLTER SO WE HAVE
TO EXERCISE OUR WILL AND I WORRY SOMETIMES THAT IT IS GOING OVER
BECAUSE PEOPLE DISAGREE, SO THERE IS 30 ON ONE SIDE OF THE
ROOM WHO SAY NO, AND A HUNDRED ON THIS SIDE OF THE ROOM THAT
SAY YES.
AND THE HUNDRED WILL TRY TO CONVINCE THE 30.
I MEAN THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR OPINION AND I RESPECT
THEIR OPINION AND RIGHT TO VOTE.
BUT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO-- IT IS THE SOCIAL JUSTICE MOVE.
AND SO IT IS I TO US TO VOTE.
AND IF WE DON'T VOTE-- NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE PORNTD
THAN VOTING.
IT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT.
>> SO LOVELY, SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE GLORIAS, THE MOVIE
ABOUT YOUR LIFE, DIRECTEDDED BY JULIE TAYMOR AND FOR ANYONE WHO
HASN'T CAUGHT UP WITH IT, TELL US ABOUT IT.
>> WELL,-- SAID I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOVIE.
I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE IT COVERS-- I THINK SHE IS A GREAT
FILMMAKER OF OUR TIME SO CAN DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS.
>> AND SHE WAS AND IT'S AMAZING.
I ALWAYS KNEW, I DIDN'T-- ANYTHING, YOU KNOW.
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IN HER MOVIES WE ALWAYS FELT HER
EMOTIONAL.
ANYONE THAT HAS SEEN ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT
YOU MUST BECAUSE ST IT IS THE STORY OF VIETNAM ERA-- OR ANY OF
THE RELS, A GREAT FILMMAKER OF OUR TIME, SO I SAID YOU KNOW, DO
WHAT YOU WILL.
AND SOMETHING MAGICAL THAT I NEVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED, A
GREYHOUND BUS-- AND THAT IS WHAT IS OTHERWISE-- YOU CAN IMAGINE
THE FILM.
>> James: AND YOU HAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY.
YOU REALLY DO.
AND I ENJOY EVERYBODY TO SEE THIS.
