>>> PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL BE IN HOLLYWOOD THIS WEEKEND FOR A STAR-STUDDED FUNDRAISER. EXPECTED TO ATTEND, PRESIDENT OBAMA, GEORGE CLOONEY, JULIA ROBERTS, TO NAME A FEW. SO, HERE IS THE QUESTION. HOLLYWOOD STARS COMING OUT TO SUPPORT PRESIDENT BIDEN. DOES THAT MOVE ANYBODY WHO IS ON THE FENCE TO VOTE FOR HIM OR TO COME OUT AND VOTE, OR COULD IT ACTUALLY HURT IN SOME WAY? OR IS ALL OF THIS JUST A FUNDRAISER? >> I HAVE A THING ABOUT THIS THAT I HAVE BEEN SCREAMING FROM THE LOW ROOFTOPS. SYNAGOGUE, MAKING A BIG ROOFTOP. >> I HATE DON'T THINK PEOPLE LISTEN TO CELEBRITIES ON WHO TO VOTE FOR, AND LESS YOU ARE TAYLOR SWIFT. FANTASTIC. BUT I DO AND THAT THEY WILL LISTEN TO CELEBRITIES ABOUT ISSUES. I THINK OF THE CELEBRITY GOES TO A STATE AND SAYS VOTING RIGHTS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME HERE. CLEAN WATER IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME HERE. NO OIL DRILLING IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME HERE. THEN I THINK PEOPLE -- >> IN A PLACE THAT IS THEIR HOME STATE, THAT THEY ARE CONNECTED TO. LIKE WHEN CHARLES BARKLEY WENT TO ALABAMA, WHEN JUDGE ROY MOORE WAS RUNNING AND CHARLES BARKLEY WENT THERE AND SAID DO NOT BE A LOW INFORMATION VOTER, YOU DESERVE MORE THAN THIS. HE HAD AN IMPACT. >> I THINK THE OTHER BIG THING IS, THE BIGGEST RACE TO MY MIND IN NOVEMBER IS PEOPLE NOT VOTING AT ALL, AND A LOT OF REALLY DISAFFECTED MILLENNIAL'S WHO SAY WE JUST DON'T FEEL EXCITED ABOUT THIS. AND I THINK WHAT TAYLOR SWIFT IS DOING RIGHT NOW WITH HER GET OUT THE VOTE CAMPAIGN, ALL OF HER APPEALS, IS ACTUALLY HAVING AN EFFECT. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN TERMS OF PEOPLE SIGNING UP. RIGHT NOW I THINK IT'S MORE IMPORTANT IN SOME WAYS THAN WHAT HOLLOW HOLLYWOOD DOES IS JUST TELL PEOPLE TO GET TO THE POLLS. >> I NOTICED YOU SAID GEN ZED . >> LOVELY. >> SO ARE YOU GEN ZED THEN? >> NO, I AM A MILLENNIAL. SQUARELY A MILLENNIAL. >> WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? >> I AGREE. I THINK THE CELEBRITIES ALSO TEND TO TRY TO PLAY THE FIELD A LITTLE BIT. NOT AS MUCH AS BUSINESS LEADERS, BUT THEY DO WANT TO, THEY WILL GO OFFER DEMOCRATIC FUNDRAISERS, SAY GOD ABOUT, REGISTER TO VOTE, WITHOUT TELLING PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY WHO TO VOTE FOR. I THINK THE PEOPLE KNOW, YEAH. I THINK THE MONEY RACE IS MORE IMPORTANT IN THIS CASE. ESPECIALLY SINCE RIGHT NOW THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN DEMOCRATS TO HAVE A FUNDRAISING LEAD OVER REPUBLICANS. BUT, GIVEN THE HALL THAT CAME IN RIGHT AFTER TRUMPS CONVICTION IS WILD. >> LET ME BE CLEAR, IT IS ALSO MOST LIKELY DESIGNED AND TIMED. DONALD TRUMP NEEDED A REALLY POSITIVE HEADLINE AFTER THE CONVICTION, AND WE WOULD BE FOOLS TO THINK THAT THAT WAS NOT ORCHESTRATED THAT THE NEXT DAY HE COULD SAY AND LOOK WHAT I JUST DID. THE >> ABSOLUTELY. THEY HAD THAT FUNDRAISING EMAIL READY TO GO THE SECOND THE VERDICT DROPPED. IT IS PART OF THEIR FUNDRAISING STRATEGY TO BE LIKE LOOK AT HOW AGGRIEVED I AM. LOOK AT HOW MUCH I AM BEING PERSECUTED. BUT I THINK THAT THE FUNDRAISER IN HOLLYWOOD IS IMPORTANT TO HELP KEEP THAT GOING. BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY BEING SPENT RIGHT NOW FOR SO MANY LOW INFORMATION VOTERS OUT THERE, YOU LOOK AT THE POLLS AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE EVEN ENGAGED AND PAYING ATTENTION RIGHT NOW. THE ONLY WAY BEYOND CELEBRITIES SAYING GO OUT AND GET TO THE POLLS, TO ENGAGE IN FRONT OF THEM, IS TO SPEND AD DOLLARS AND TWO INFORM THEM ABOUT WHAT IS AT STAKE HERE. >> AND YOU NEED THOSE DOLLARS FOR DOWN BALLOT RACES. WE KNOW ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE IT IS NOT GOING TO GO THERE. LAURA TRUMP ALREADY SAID WE ARE KEEPING THE MONEY, BUT CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT THIS DEMOCRACY? WHAT WAS IT, TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD THE MASSIVE FUNDRAISER RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET AT RADIO CITY AND REPUBLICANS WENT AT IT. IT IS DISGUSTING, FAST-FORWARD, THEY ARE THROWING FUNDRAISERS FOR HIM AT SILICON VALLEY. >> THEY THREW A RETALIATION FUNDRAISER. IT IS GOING TO BE TWICE AS BIG, IT IS GOING TO BE HUGE. >> FUNDRAISERS IN LONDON? YOU KNOW. >> BUT THEY WILL USE THIS WEEKEND AND SAY LOOK AT JOE BIDEN, WITH HOLLYWOOD ELITE, DISGUSTING. HE IS NOT A REAL MAN, HE IS NOT STANDING FOR AMERICA. WHEN THEY ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING WITH JUST A DIFFERENT FLAVOR OF RICH PEOPLE. >> IT IS SUCH AN INTERESTING QUESTION, BECAUSE IT PRESUPPOSES THAT REPUBLICANS CARE ABOUT HYPOCRISY, WHICH I DON'T THINK EXISTS ANYMORE. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME BACK TO TRUMP. YOU MENTIONED EARLIER THE BIG MEETING THAT TRUMP HAD ON THE HILL ON WEDNESDAY. CAME TO CONGRESS AND EVERYBODY FELL IN LINE, EVEN MITCH McCONNELL. WHO HATES HIM. THEY WERE ALL THERE. I THINK HYPOCRISY IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE FOR THE PARTY, BUT SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ON. AND IF YOU READ MITT ROMNEY'S BOOK, IF YOU TALK TO REPUBLICANS, A LOT OF THEM WILL SAY IT IS FEAR. THEY DON'T HAVE SECURITY. AND THEY UNDERSTAND THAT DONALD TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE EXTREMELY ARDENT, BUT ALSO SOMEWHAT VIOLENT. BECAUSE WE SAW ON JANUARY 6th, THE VERY EVENT THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO ERASE. SO THERE IS A LOT AT STAKE, IT IS NOT JUST SUPPORTING DONALD TRUMP FOR ALL OF THESE. >> YOU SAW IT WITH LINDSEY GRAHAM. HE SPOKE OUT OF IT AGAINST DONALD TRUMP ON JANUARY 6, THAT NIGHT, I AM DONE. THE NEXT DAY HE WAS AT REAGAN NATIONAL AIRPORT FLYING TO SOUTH CAROLINA AND GOT ALL BUT PHYSICALLY ATTACKED BY TRUMP SUPPORTERS. A MINUTE LATER HE IS AT MAR-A- LAGO SAYING YOU HAVE A PERFECT HANDICAP, SIR. >> CAN WE GIVE ANOTHER SHOUT OUT TO LIZ CHENEY? >> ALWAYS. >> SHE IS ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY BEEN TOTALLY CONSISTENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. AND BOY, HAS IT COST HER. >> IT HAS. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS. BECAUSE CELEBRITIES MAY BE COMING OUT FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN, BUT YOU KNOW WHO IS NOT? STUDIOS. THERE IS THIS MOVIE THAT IS COMING OUT ABOUT DONALD TRUMP, THE APPRENTICE, AND IT HAS ALREADY GOTTEN AMAZING REVIEWS. BUT THERE'S A REALLY GOOD CHANCE PEOPLE DON'T GET TO SEE IT. STUDIOS ARE SHYING AWAY, THEY DO NOT WANT TO BUY THIS THING. THEY DON'T WANT TO PUT IT OUT THERE. WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT WHERE WE ARE AS A COUNTRY? IS THAT NOT SHOWING THAT BUSINESS LEADERS DON'T WANT TO GET OFFSIDES WITH THE NEXT POTENTIAL PRESIDENT? THAT FEELS VERY RUSSIAN OF US. >> IT CERTAINLY DOES. BUT THERE IS ACTUALLY A REALLY BIG SHIFT RIGHT NOW IN THE WHOLE MOVIE BUSINESS AWAY FROM ACTUALLY HAVING ATTRIBUTIONS FOR THE CONTROVERSIAL DOCUMENTARIES AND CONTROVERSIAL FILMS. THIS COMES AT THE END OF A BIG TREND WE ARE SEEING, WHICH IS REALLY SCARY. THERE HAVE BEEN GREAT MOVIES ABOUT RUSSIA, ABOUT CHINA, ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST, WHICH ARE NOT BEING ABLE TO BE DISTRIBUTED, EITHER. THE FACT THAT THEY ARE RUNNING SHY OF THIS ONE IS PART OF A PATTERN ABOUT CONTROL. >> ABSOLUTELY. AND THAT IS A PROBLEM, AND THEN THERE IS THE FEAR THAT WE HAVE ALREADY DISCUSSED AROUND POLITICIANS THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IN TERMS OF BUSINESS LEADERS. DO YOU WANT TO GET ON THE WRONG SIDE OF DONALD TRUMP? >> THAT'S MY POINT, DOES NOT FEEL LIKE RUSSIA? >> AND THERE IS A WORLD IN WHICH THE ELECTION COMES AND GOES, AND IF DONALD TRUMP WERE TO LOSE, THAT THE MOVIE WOULD GET DISTRIBUTION. BECAUSE THAT IS THE BALANCE. ARE WE GOING TO BE REWARDED BY DONALD TRUMP? BECAUSE HE WILL GIVE US ALL THE BUSINESS PERKS WE WANT?
