on. tonight: >> offered me a job? >> that's right. >> okay. >> maybe the president should take the gig. with white house scandals mounting, president obama ramps up his fundraising blitz across the u.s. as he totally disengaged from running the country? we will debate it don't you think the reason isis was arrested when saudi hijackers attacked us we invaded a different country that had nothing to do with it. >> oh shoes, is he america's sweetheart, rosie o'donnell, a notorious 9/11 truther blames america for the creation of isis. and she has got plenty of company on the far left. we will analyze that tonight.

>> [inaudible] beyond our capability. >> battling the ebolaoutbreak os of west africa. is there any hope of stopping it when so much of the world is failing to step up. we will tell you. >> caution, pointing is fun, the factor begins right now. i'm greg gut field in for bill o'reilly. thank you for watching us tonight. panic is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. on a flight from fillly to somewhere better than philly an idiot told fellow passengers that he had ebola. causing the plane to sit for hours as men in hazmat suits came to pull the creep off. what a met for for the media a sweaty entity that knows

fear, gets eyeballs, after all ebola is way more interesting than the wrote toe virus which kills thousands of children daily. that goof ball on the plane got hauled away but the hysterics in the media get to stay. take joan watch who blamed thomas duncan's death on rick perry's texas. i blame that idiocy on joan walsh's brain. disease is spread by many things but hysteria is every bit as contagious and a mother pulling her kid out of school in dallas has a greater risk of getting in a car accident than him getting sick. we don't describe anybody who coughs as having ebola like symptoms. the dallas deputy who had ebola like symptoms has now tested negative as flu season arrives, ebola like symptoms will be as common as flu being-like symptoms because for the most part they lookalike. so take a breath, and remember flight 370 where 239 people disappeared. we yacked until we were blue

in the face on that story. then we stopped. the moral? if you worry about ebola now, remember, something worse is coming your way. like the sex in the city sequel. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. the u.s. military arrives in west africa to help fight the ebola outbreak. 300 u.s. troops are now on the ground in the liberian capital of monrovia, the center of the outbreak. up to 3,000 are set to be deployed this year to help build medical centers for ebola patients. noble humanitarian campaign to be sure but will it put our troops at risk? joining us from dallas katrina of the tea party leadership fund and austin march marjorie democratic consultant and strategist. katrina, let's begin with you, should would he be sending troops to africa to deal with the ebola outbreak? >> i'm going to say absolutely not. we really don't know what we are dealing with here. we are being told on one hand by officials that this is the ebola virus.

we know how to contain it, it's not that contagious. yet, we are sending the u.s. military. we don't know what strain of ebola virus we are even dealing with in africa and here in texas. >> all right. well, marjorie, my concern is, if america doesn't go, then it gets worse because, basically we are the only country who can do this kind of thing right. >> well, i think we do have some of the best healthcare systems in the country thrill and we do have incredible support even with our military goes into a lot of different humanitarian situations to aid. so i think, you know, if we can be helpful, absolutely, why wouldn't would he be? and it does have implications globally if it isn't contained. i agree with you about the hype. i think we need to keep it all in check. it's sort of a little bit reminder of the 1970s, 80s, h.i.v. outbreak. it's hard to contract ebola. not as simple as being coughed on in the airplane and absolutely any lunatic on an airplane that decides to claim they have got it could be a problem. i think we do need to keep it all in perspective and understand what it really is

and be helpful in the ways qui in countries that are legally suffering. >> speaking of lunatic who made the ebola joke, he got off the plane first. that's a terrible lesson to give everyone that if you want to get off the plane first, just say you have ebola. i might try that. let me ask you katrina how do you think the media is hand lick this? for example, when someone is going to get tested that's generally a big story. when that turns out to be negative instead of being on the front page it's now on page 20 and need a magnifying glass to find it do you think that the media is being slightly irresponsible? >> oh, absolutely. there is no question. there is a lot of hype that is surrounding this case. i mean, we are still within the grace period of other candidates being identified. maybe that contracted it but the point is, and, yes, i agree there is hype. but for those of us who live right here, what's being considered ground zero, it needs to be taking very seriously considering we

don't know what strain it is and we don't know who has been contacted. i mean, marjorie do you know what strain we have here in dallas county? the answer is no, there are five. we need to know which one because it makes a huge difference. >> he will with, i think, you know, one of the problems with people ginning up panic when you say don't panic other people will say well, that's easy for you to say because you are not there. but i think it's actually harder to say don't panic because people respond to panic faster and i think it feeds into a political notion as well. for example, marjorie, you are seeing this on the right and the left. on the right you have people linking ebola to president obama and here you have joan walsh linking ebola to rick perry. why do they do that? >> naturally. you know, that's hard to say. >> that's like saying president bush caused katrina. obama obviously didn't cause ebola. i think that a lot of times it's -- i do think that we as the media do create a

vehicle for hype. and now, given that the media is every person in pajamas writing a blog, people want an explanation for things. they want things to talk about. why do people watch reality tv shows with crazy families that are dysfunctional it's because it's entertaining. i do agree we have to be cautious about what the scare actually does. frankly because it depletes resources we need. if we have people rushing into every emergency room in the u.s. when they get flu symptoms, we are going to have a bigger problem on our hand and those who actually need the help won't be able to get it, so. >> katrina, that's a fair point. i understand where you are there is legitimate concerns and there may be legitimate concerns coming to new york as well is it necessarily smart to conflate the horrors in africa with what might happen here when we are talking about different strains, making people scared only makes them, perhaps, make mistakes and panic. panic, you never actually follow proper hygiene when you are in panic. >> well, wouldn't it be more

appropriate to be concerned and maybe a little bit panicky than just letting the man walk out of a hospital clearly displaying the symptoms of the disease? >> absolutely. >> again, the strain is really important, because, it's in if it's the restaurant strain we know through studies that strain can be carried by canines they are asymptomatic like fruit vets. they saw dogs licking his vomit up out of the street. would he should be concerned about that when you have a president who refuses to restrict travel from that area. they say both things. they say it's going to be difficult to get it here. restricting travel is not gotten to restrict it from coming here it came here because of travel. none of this really makes any sense. for the parents here in dallas county, this is just unacceptable, considering it's not just ebola we are dealing with. you mentioned the reto virus. there are things happening in texas because we have government telling us they know what's best for us and we are not going to accept

that. >> marjorie, back to you. >> i would love to seat government shutdown travel and how companies and individuals would respond to that president obama is not a physician and i think blaming any administration, again, like blaming bush for katrina would be the wrong thing to do. the cdc is the physician. they are the experts and i think trusting that they are containing it, that they're observing it and that our medical professionals, which are among the best in the world are watching it is probably the way i gold. >> the other thing to end this is that i have a -- i'm having a problem with the all or nothing setup of this debate. we either shutdown travel or we don't. why can't we send health workers in and make sure they have a way out. i don'ti don't see why we have o say all or nothing. ladies, thanks. scandals, blunders and expensive parties. no, it's not a typical saturday night at my underwater mansion. it's the president's schedule. a factor analysis of mr. obama's fund raises blitz as the bad news piles up in a

i am one of your biggest fans if not the biggest. you are so handsome that i can't speak properly. sorry gwyneth you were like that before you met obama that. the presidency thrills beats running the country into the ground hire to debate it fox news contributor pete, can you blame gwyneth for swooning?

she is right, the president is a hans some man yanchts opine on that one. i understand she got caught up in the moment. the problem i have, greg, is that president obama isn't listening to his generals and he seems to be listening and taking advice from gwyneth paltrow when he drew the ire of the internet just this week when she suggested that the best way to live your life was to spend half your day taking long walks and having long meals with family members and loved ones, it's very clear the president is doing just that. he is awol. i have analogy here, i think there is connection between the fundraising and the crises that are going on. if a kid is playing video games all day, his grades will suffer. but it's not the games that are at fault it's the time consuming obsession that is hurting his grades. couldn't obama's addiction to applause, which he gets through fundraising be the reason why we seeing so much

bad stuff going on? >> i don't think there is really a connection there at all. the president being the president of the united states is actually the head of the democratic party as well. we have a major midterm election coming up. it's crucial to the next two years of his administration that he maintain control of the senate, and that the losses aren't too horrible in the house of representatives. and it is absolutely behooves him to be out fundraising and helping as many an democrats as he can and helping his party, because otherwise he will have his hands really tied for the last two years of his candidacy. this is a very important time for him. and i'm actually more relieved to see him doing the fundraising he is now than he did back in 2012 right after the election or even back in 2010. >> that's a good point. pete, she says it's an important time for fundraising. however, he spent 415 fundraisers in the same time frame that bush did 244.

so that's almost double. so the guy would hit up a tree if he he thought had it a wallet. it hasn't -- i mean, at some point this has to have some effect on governance, right? >> it absolutely is, greg. is he on pace to nearly double what president bush and triple what president clinton did. look, president clinton was a political animal. that said, he was working even with all the other things he was doing in office, he managed to be there 18 hours a day and the country felt that he was certainly in charge. this president just simply doesn't want to be on the job. and it's not what republicans are saying. forget my side. it's what the democrats and his cabinet members are saying. look at what leon panetta and bob gates and the "the washington post" are saying about him. that he is feckless. that he lacks the desire to lead. that he is a a complainer. that's his problem. >> well, you know, jessica, let's go back to gwyneth for a moment, because i find this interesting in that i feel like she is a symbol of

median entertainment in which they overlook the flaws and competence in favor of charisma and cool. she is as deep as contact lenz. that seems to be his followers, does that worry you. >> i don't know gwyneth paltrow personally. >> neither i do. >> i can't speak to how deep she is or not deep. i do look at her goop blog and stuff like that. i like it. it's one of those things where she is an american citizen. she has every right to be awe struck by a charismatic president. every president i have met no matter whether i agreed with him politically or not, i was like wow, that is really impressive person. >> true. >> there is always that sense when you meet the president of the united states. they should be charismatic. they are the president. they are the leader of the free world. and, you know, she has every right to raise money, to give her own money and to speak in favor of whatever political candidate she has. that doesn't mean i agree with her or you agree wither h i think the president has a lot of other followers. if he can raise money from people in the media, that's

fantastic. he is raise money from the tech industry. just because you are actress or director or producer doesn't mean you have any less right to give money or support a political candidate, you are still an american citizen. >> you're absolutely right. you know what i love, pete, president obama had a fundraiser with a billionaire named rich richmond while he was there, he slammed billionaires. that's like criticizing obesity while spooning ronald mcdonald in a waterbed. dog dollar and the rest of the richie rich crew there as well? i imagine it might be be. look, the problem is we hired a guy. the american people hired a guy who had absolutely no experience. think about it. if he were up for a job of a publicly traded company, he wouldn't get through the hr department. being a state senator and a part-time law professor, he wouldn't even make it in the door. he wrote a best seller and he is a celeb and that's how he is guiding the country and we are paying the price

right now. >> i have got to say, he won two elections. so he is doing something right. it's up to the republicans to somehow create, i don't know, an articulate persuasive dialogue that actually does better. okay. jessica, pete, thanks. next on the rundown, they are not booing him, they are looing him. lou dobbs the profit, prophet. we knew it all along. predictions about the scandals come true. he will tell us why it could impact the midtermand he

in the lou's the boss segment tonight, will there be an october surprise ahead of the midterm elections? i hope it's a new pop tart flavor. lou dobbs made this prediction back at the start of the month. >> a few comments on the rising expectations of an october surprise before this year's midterms.

an election in which voters are now heavily tilting toward republicans. so will there be an obama democratic october surprise? the dems definitely desperately need one but judges by previous election years don't bet a lot of money on a major news event rocking the mid terms. no, if i were a betting man, i would go with an october filled with more obama denials, stonewalling and energetic it blaming of others. and of course more deflexion and distraction. >> he nailed that one. is he like the amazing car knack. joining us now fox business network anchor lou dobbs who is also now starting some psychic hotline. lou it appears that your predictions are not only correct but super correct. how do you explain your special powers to the people at home? they are as you suggest super powers. if one see the president predictably exactly the same thing every time confronted by crisis, failure, or

scandal. >> you know the interesting thing is that he is smart enough to figure out how things work. that a scandal, the administration is like one of those tennis ball machines. a scandal comes out but you don't have time to react because there is another one coming. he pops out scandals like fill that in. >> we laugh at this, but the truth is i havener seen the man more self-possessed in the face an onslot of scandals that would shame, mortify and hue humiliate a mere morality, he has created a successful stonewall that now traverses over five years of his exceedingly tentative governance. >> i can't blame him because he has the media enablers. and i hate to keep saying if it were a republican. but, let's face it, any of these scandals would have destroyed prom any if it were the irs or secret

service. if it happened under president bush they would have said frat boy persona. find a way to blame it on him. >> we have to give the president credit for, this certainly. evidence has managed to keep at arm's length every one of these scandals. even when there is as the "the washington post" this week reported, direct corroborated evidence that the white house itself was involved in. >> right. >> the -- what would you call it, the cartagena hooker episode for the secret service. i avoided scandal in that case. >> now, do you think that's the october surprise? october surprise sounds like a euphemism for something else. but is there something else coming? >> i think that will be coming will be whatever it is, rationalized, excused, and apologize for in the national media by both his political allies, although they are divinged ling in number and the national liberal media this is a closed feedback loop there was a time there was accountability because of

our national media that no longer is the case. because they -- and the president doesn't have to deflect or deny. the national liberal media will do it for him. >> exactly. >> they will rationalize any behavior on the part of this president. >> that is his pr arm actually. so, republicans have the opportunity to make some gains. but what worries me about the opposition is republicans is that they haven't been able to improve their persuasiveness. it's one thing to be correct. it's another thing to be persuasively correct and i wrote this down. i said liberals are fantastic at selling bad ideas. conservatives are terrible at selling good ideas. remember that, america. >> and i think that is memorable and i'm going to write it down myself as he we are doing. this the reality is that republicans still think that the answer to everything in the public arena is to say less regulation and lower taxes as if that translates to our middle class which is beset by an assault of

authoritarian collective centralist government. >> well, you know, my prediction for the october surprise is, joe biden is a space alien with special healing powers. he will reveal himself in two weeks on a mountain somewhere in south america. i can't give you any more specifics, lou. >> i think that was specific enough for my needs. >> lou, thank you. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this even. my scawch partner rosie o'donnell blaming america for the creation of isis. you won't believe how many people in the far left actually agree with that insanity. insanity. leave n♪ [safety beeping] ♪ [safety beeping] ♪ [safety beeping] ♪ the nissan rogue, with safety shield technologies. the only thing left to fear is your imagination.

not to be outdone and incoherent and ignorant some of the brain dead co-ed's at harvard had this to say online video posted this week. >> what is a bigger threat to world peace? america or isis? >> to world peace? oh, america. >> in many ways i have to think it's america because america is making decisions that purchase more likely to effect the world. >> i don't think anyone would argue that we didn't create the problem of isis ourselves. >> we are at some level the cause of it. >> those opinions cost thousands of dollars to parents. joining us now with reaction radio talk show host mike gallagher. why does this perspective still persist no matter what decade that america is the bad guy in every instance? it's like a commandment in a cult? >> i have spent years studying liberals a little bit like jane good al studied her chimps. i'm trying to understand the liberal psyche. i really do think there is a distaste that many liberals have for the values that

america stands for. think about it think about what the left hates. they don't like expressions of prayer. they don't like the second amendment. they don't like people who display flags. you think about all those values that make america great. they don't like it. i think subconsciously they don't like america. so instinctively blame the united states for everything. i mean, it shouldn't be a surprise why they continually blame america first. they don't like america very much. they just don't know it. >> yeah, but what is amazing is they love everything that america makes. >> oh, yeah. >> if you took away -- if you took away every ipod, every ipad. if you took away the natural gas, electricity, everything they condemn, they would be in a cave crying, weeping to themselves. the best joke though is that people are going into hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt. and this is what they get is an american derangement syndrome. which i just coined. our own worst enemy could not have created this in a lab that we are actually creating people who hate us.

>> but the ones that are most successful seem to hate the machine that made them successful. look at gwyneth paltrow, she is wailing about what it means to have unequal pay for working moms she compares herself to working moms. michael moore blasts america flies around in gulf stream. these guys love to bash the country that mid them rich and famous. that's just mind boggling. >> i have a theory that it's a product of free time. this mentality, the liberal guilt mentality sprung up from our post war victories and riches where people now had time to enjoy themselves and based on the achievements of metropolitan and women who gave their lives. these people have the time to naval gays and say this place isn't that great. >> constructive to compare america's plight with israel's. why do people hate israel. why do people stand with israel. the same reasons that people bash israel, their values, what they represent in that part of the world i think could be employed to the united states. the values, all the

expressions, the symbolism, you know, all of those things, both of these nations get criticized by the far left regularly because the left doesn't like either one of these nations. >> they are proxies for each other in the same regard that fox news is a proxy for the united states for people like rosy and for president obama when a celebrity makes a joke about fox news, what they are talking about really is about a whole part of america that they look down upon. that they don't really even know. it's -- and actually they don't even watch fox news so they don't even know what's on it. but they say fox news as a proxy for whatever -- for the rest of america. >> many of these people have fans that they have to appeal to. rosie o'donnell, all these guys. >> she has fans? >> there is a few. but they expect these people to like them, you are right, they are insulting their own fan base without even realizing it i don't know that they ever make that connection. >> do you think "the view" rehired her because they're courting the crazy demo? the crazy demo? they call it the crazy

dollar. they spent a lot of money crazy people. >> rosie o'donnell gets a lot of attention. she a very polarizing figure. i don't know, maybe they wanted to mix it up. but rosy can always be counted on. again, she a great example of hypocrisy. years ago it was revealed that she had gun toting body guards for her kids and yet she is a woman who told housewives to go get your husband's guns and turn them into the police station. it's rosy for her but not for the rest of us. reflects the reluctance to condemn isis which is what bill maher talked about maybe a couple weeks ago liberals are petrified being scared of being labeled islam phones. >> not just isis but the liberal world. i wish isis could confront the horrific way muslim world treats muslims and gays. that's down that road. bill maher did. give him credit for that.

>> go picket a hotel in southern california that's owned by prince. >> don't say anything about the people get stoned or cut your heads off. >> quick reminder bill's new book, you probably haven't heard of it, it's called killing patton. it's now on sale. if you sign up to become a bill o'reilly.com premium member like i did, you get the b lg book absolutely free. i have 15,000 of them which i built a studio apartment out of and am living right now in central park. be sure to check that out up next. the u.s. l in combating the ebola virus in west africa as the crisis proves yet again how much the rest of the world needs the rest of the world needs america. if you're suffering from constipation or irregularity, powders may take days to work. for gentle overnight relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. ducolax provides gentle overnight relief, unlike miralax that can take up to 3 days. dulcolax, for relief you can count on.

thranks for staying with us, i'm greg gutfeld in for bill o'reilly. unresolved problem segment tonight, america steps up yet again while the rest of the world sits on the sidelines for now. the united states has committed up to three quarters of a billion dollars to help combat the ebola epidemic. everyone else, not so much. things so r. so bad that the u.n. today complained about member countries not responding as swiftly and generously as they need to. and secretary of state john kerry virtually had to beg

countries to get more involved this week. >> i'm here this morning to make an urgent plea to countries in the world to it step up even further. while we are making progress, we are not where we can say that we need to be. now, is the time for action, not words. and frankly, there is not a moment to waste in this effort. >> joining us now from san diego, robert young pelton filmmaker and author of the book most dangerous place. rick grenell former advisor to four u.n. ambassador to the. what is the big obstacle now in trying to contain this outbreak in africa? >> well, actually, solving this problem, greg, is going to cause more problems, because typically ebola is a rural disease, it's been around since 1976. it's self-extinguishes. now what happens when you get people in there to help medical workers, you know,

outsiders, you actually run the risk of spreading the disease more. we have to be careful to understand this is a self-extinguishing disease by pouring too many diseases into it you can help spread it. >> that's a chilling thought by actually sending in people to help they could make it worse? >> well, look at the journalists my friend just came back doing a documentary, is he under quarantine and his fixer got ebola. this is what happens when you expose more and more people to contagious people or areas ebola is a contagious disease but not as bad as airborne diseases or vector born diseases. we are going to go rushing in there and find a lot of health workers, maybe even our military could be infected. you run the risk of spreading it by bringing these people back to first quality medical providers and you see the expense that it takes just to handle the cases that come back here. >> yeah. rick, should would he be relying on the u.s. government alone? what about the private sector? are we reaching out to them?

we are not doing a good job of reaching out to the private sector which has all the solutions. you know we are in trouble when the u.n. is complaining about the pace of progress. that's like jimmy carter complaining about your foreign policy or something. what we need to be able to recognize is that the u.s. government and all governments, especially like the liberian government, they have a role to play in protecting their citizens. but the actual solutions are private sector based. the small companies that have these incredible solutions whether they're technology or a product. they're asked to come to the u.s. government kind of like a king. and beg the king to actually approve their product. they don't have many people. they don't know how to work the bureaucratic system. i think in a crisis like ebola, we should have the government going out and seeking out the solutions. find those small companies and say hey, does your product is, it effective? i know a company in north carolina called iet, very

small company can, it has a product that can kill ebola. it should be sprayed on the planes as the planes come over. this company is too small to kind of go through the bureaucratic process of being approved as a government contractor. in a situation like, this it shouldn't happen. robert, does that make sense to you? >> well, yes, talking about long-term solutions versus people that have ebola now. and as i mentioned, it is a high mortality rate. and if you can just simply quarantine those people, they either survive or they don't survive. now, it would be wonderful to have people like z map and other people that have vac screens to ramp up productions and get over there and fix. this it pops up from eating bush meat in many countries not just the countries we are talking about in west africa. it always will reoccur as it has for the last 30 or 40 years. >> what about, robert, superstition and fear? how is that playing a role in spreading this? >> well, for example, uganda when they had the aids

epidemic they assumed it was caused by condoms because there wasn't aids because there was condoms and white people telling them to wear condoms. you have a sense of what is causing. this secondly to say that you have ebola means you are thrown into almost a death ward. people are terrified of going into these medical facilities and come out of the country. so absolutely that's a big problem. >> rick, what about the african government? are they reaching out to the private sector? do they even have the capabilities? >> he they should but their first call is always the u.n. they go to the u.n. and a bunch of diplomats from the upper side of new york sit around with a policy that never gets translated back down to the grass roots. that's where actually the u.s. government could teach some of these, you know, african-american and west african governments actually how to work the issues on the ground at the airport, you know, they are not doing a very good job as we have seen journalists come back complaining that they weren't screened properly. so we can do training, but these -- it's really up to

these african governments. they have to get a handle on it they need to be reaching out to the private sector who have the solutions. >> robert, why does the rest of the world fail to step up and will they start stepping up more? >> well, i would say that it's not the world's problem to fix ebola. it's a regional disease. it's caused by singular person or group of people getting infected. it's a regional problem. secondly, you can imagine the waste of resources of every country in the world suddenly engaged in this sort of, you know, measuring testing people at every airport around the world. i say let's get regional. let's get experts in that area that can help the locals manage this like i say self extinguishing epidemic. and then when it pops up again, let's have a reaction for us that can go in there and do the exact same thing. >> i just want to point out though you said earlier if people go in there is a potential for spreading more. so we have to be able to do both, right? >> no, i'm talking about a small group of people that can go in to these relatively few outbreaks. >> all right. i got to go.

thanks rick and robert. we are asking you to vote in our bill o'reilly.com poll, do you believe the federal government is doing enough to protect americans from ebola? yes or no. next up, strange bed fellows janine turner and liberal teddy bear alec baldwin the former northern exposure star reveals that disturbing relationship when she enters the no spin zone in a moment.

in the back of the book segment tonight, actress and conservative actress and my ex-wife, starting a new chapter in her career, horrible pun intended, as an author in her new book "a little bit vulnerable," she dishes on her

romance with the very liberal and extremely hairy alec baldwin among other things. she stopped by "the factor" last week along with her teenage daughter who also just published a book called "our president's rock." everybody's publishing books. >> so here they are, the turner people, juliet and janne. i don't know if i've ever heard of a mother-daughter having books out at the same time. juli juliet, i want to start with you. most teenage girls -- you're 16, correct? >> yes. >> they don't care about the history or country or the constitution. i'm not being supercilious here. >> what you're saying is the truth. sadly my generation is not part of the history or constitution. that's part of what got me into history. my generation is the future of our country. it's our responsibility to maintain our freedoms and know our history.

and also a lot of my friends and kids my age don't want to sit down and read pages and pages of history in textbooks. so what i tried to do with my book so what you match to perfectly in your book is making history fun and interesting. >> at 16 even i can understand the history that juliet is putting out there. but when you talk to your friends, do they think you're like a nerd or weird or something? >> i've fully embraced my historically nerd ability. >> do you project that jazz? >> i have some friends do. >> they give you that, hey, i want to talk about that one dimension -- what group is that? >> one direction. >> one direction. fifth dimension. i knew it was something like that. but you don't care. you like your history. >> yes. >> you're doing your book. this is the second one and we're proud of you. >> yes. >> janne, not so proud of you. you're a troublemaker. about 20 years ago you moved from hollywood where you were a big star. >> even though mike and i have a

very caring, very understanding relationship, but that doesn't mean that you and i can't be friends. >> friends, huh? >> right. >> "northern exposure" and all that stuff to texas. >> yes. >> to play with rattlesnakes and run around with scorpion. >> longhorn cattle. >> in general has that worked out for you career-wise? >> well, i think it's difficult when you're not in new york or l.a. it was definitely a sacrifice. i had worked. i just did three movies this year somehow. by daughter was born in '97. so i wanted her to be around family in the state of texas and to raise her there. there is a sacrifice there. >> but you did pay a price in your career. >> yes. >> okay. but you're still working now. you've got some movies out. >> yes. it's given me an opportunity to focus on other things. i always want to be doing something. >> you're a conservative woman, is that accurate? >> yes. >> so in addition to not being close geographically to hollywood and new york, you're politically far away from them as well. >> very much. >> has that come back and hurt

you? >> well, i think it hurt me in my 20s because they were all running off to jane fonda parties and i wasn't. my dad was a west pointer. i wasn't about to go do that. i was always on the peripheral of the in-crowd. took longer probably for "northern exposure" to happen for me really. >> but when you were on the set of "northern exposure," for example, did they know you were a traditional person, not liberal? >> i think so. >> i saw you on fox & friends. they had to pay you to go on that show. you told them you were once engaged to alec baldwin. is that true? >> that is true. >> officially engaged? >> i had the wedding dress, the invitation, everything. >> really? he's insane. he lives in long island.. did you know that? >> well, maybe a little. >> a little you knew it? he's a nice guy i think if you

get him away from the politics. >> yes, yes. >> but you were really serious. you were almost going to marry him. >> i was. yes. i have the invitations addressed. >> what happened? >> well, we didn't break up because of politics though he was shocked. i called him and said i read this article about william sapphire in the "new york times" about young republicans stepping forward. and there was this long pause. you're a republican? >> can you tell us why you didn't want to get married to him? >> well, it just wasn't working out. >> you knew this wasn't going to be a long-term thing. >> but it wasn't because of the politics. but now that i look back i learned a lot from that relationship. >> and you still like him, right, as a person? >> yes. we're still friend. i ended up getting involve because of him and a 12-step program at age 23. sometimes things don't work out. >> that is an amazing fun fact for janine turner. best of luck with your books. nice to see you both. >> i was engaged to alec baldwin and you don't hear me bragging. an ugly, ugly breakup.
