to fight against the russians in afghanistan and we keep doing this it you know ultimately it has even though it's partly to protect israel and partly because of the oil but this is a no win situation we're not going to win here if you look at you know i made a joke when when when bush went into iraq you know right after nine eleven which to me was the greatest single. foreign policy disaster in my lifetime second to vietnam he made the joke didn't t.c. lawrence of arabia i mean after the first world war i mean the british try to manage that area they couldn't so what they did is they just carved up some territories they said these are they're not countries this will be iraq this will be you know that area this will be this and essentially it's not they're not countries they're there they're there sects their religious tribes want them the

bided of dividing biden said divide it up in the kurdish area in the north you have the sunni the shia the sunni islam the she had been fighting for fourteen hundred years as isis were you well sure it does sure isis worries it's just like. al qaida worried us and when they attacked we went into afghanistan and didn't finish the job but kerry said something interesting in the two thousand and four election and everybody screamed oh you know you're being a you're wrong this is a. a war on extreme groups and ordered to deal with them you need good intelligence you need special ops it's almost like police work there are no countries there so what you do is you try to find out where they where these extreme religious factions are where this fundamental extremism come from. and go after them but to invade countries and do that that's

the biggest waste of time and the biggest waste of blood and treasure and it's sad what we're doing there and right now obama is playing cleanup you know he's cleaned up the mess that was caused when we went into iraq in the first place and what did anybody think was going to happen when saddam hussein was removed the only reason that country was held together is because you had a maniac an iron fist and an iron fist a dictator who was holding that country get together and was doing these horrible things gassing kurds but fats what it took to keep those factions together you remove him and surprise suni's and shia are going to go after each other it's not surprising to me and it shouldn't be surprising to anybody who study that read you have the same what i can do about what what's the do about the gaza situations well

there again you've got a a horrible situation where you have an extreme faction in the hamas that controls gaza that is written into their playbook the destruction of israel the destruction of every jew on the planet. you can't negotiate with that you have to say either hamas goes away and the palestinian authority takes over all of that region and and and deal with some kind of honest broker here and create the two state solution the palestinians turned down the ability to have their own state in one nine hundred forty eight when when israel was formed so clearly hamas and again the very ill and faction of a. really strong fundamental group can control everything you look at the congress right now in the united states you've got

a strong tea party group controlling the whole country because they have a gridlock they have a gridlock stranglehold on boehner boehner can't make a move and so for that reason nothing gets brought up in the in the in the congress so any time to do it in with an extreme group you cannot negotiate with them and the way to do it is to eliminate it with the tea party you have to go through a political thing you haven't the wait till two thousand and twenty to redistrict but that is really tough stuff what do you make of younger americans no less for him in the support of israel israel gets rocked pretty much around the world for their actions well it's which is terrible to me it's terrible because israel has obviously greater power than you know than any of these arab countries they have nuclear weapons and so on so what are they supposed to do they're sitting there and all of a sudden missiles are lobbed been into them now the the horrible optics of this is

they strike back and innocent people get killed and so then israel becomes the the one to blame for all of the innocent people getting killed but the fact of the matter is how mosques is causing very innocent population to get killed so israel is in a what and in israel gets you know tarred with these the terrible this of the fact that they were the ones that get bombed to begin is there a solution there. you know the only solution is to me you've got to have the arab world the palestinian authority come down heavy heavy on hamas to the point where hamas gets marginalized and then you can then start negotiations but you can't have a negotiation when you have somebody lobbing missiles at you. you know president obama you supported him. i did support of i mean i was a everybody knows i was

a hillary supporter during the primaries but then you know when obama got the nomination i was a big supporter of his own disappointed you know he hasn't disappointed me what has this appointed me is the united states congress it's a tragedy what the congress has done in blocking very very middle of the road. policies that obama's putting forward obama's not some crazy left wing maniac obama is what we would consider a rockefeller republican these days the country is move so far to the right that we've got a president who is essentially a middle of the road slightly leaning to the right democrat and everything he puts forward is killed and it's killed only because they want to destroy obama now

he may not have the the fire power you know in the rhetoric that he does on the campaign trail and he probably should have a little bit more of that when he's pushing his policies he doesn't but if you look at his policies and look what he's putting forward the congress i'm ashamed that what the congress has done is i've never seen anything like in our lifetime you talk about the one nine hundred forty eight do nothing congress that harry truman ran against they passed nine hundred pieces of legislation this congress has passed less than one hundred fifty so the do nothing congress passed you know seven times as much legislation as this convo you going to get anywhere with immigration no we're not going to get anywhere with anything as long as the tea party has a strangle hold on john boehner will not get anywhere i mean to obama's going to try to do as much as he can do through executive action but then there's that guy.

so him over using executive action and then when they have a border crisis they say use executive action to go after the border crisis it's it's it's hypocritical beyond belief i guess is rob reiner as you know in the past and so hard to draw him out to run of the mill down the middle and so in the next segment we'll talk about his latest movie and so it goes a stars michael douglas and diane keaton it's out now and he's a master in the director's chair we'll talk about the film when we come back. you know i used to love the slip and slide. i'm sure you did yes. ok thank you i'm in the yeah you're the piano player yeah yeah artie burns i play with lee at that the old speed stroke or what he doing there i came here to pick her up and they yeah you know her tight she likes a man. with actual hair i've been going with sleeping with her well oh i bet

i am. going to perish.

right to see. first street. and i think pictures. on our reporters twitter. and instagram. to be in the know. with the plentiful supply it was terrible to say now i'm very hard to make out to let you get along here is a plot that you never had sex with others make their lives let alone was. just so. listen the

i'm . a. if you take care of my daughter wanted to ask her it's my son for his that i miss my granddaughter papa guatemala his six and eight points one of the bucket list

like it is to sell. me to make someone a great wife so they would harry met sally comes to comedy take that box put it on that box on that box and you could talk about friendship and the only friends you might have found somebody else likes me see you can die family now what is your favorite color for your room nicest no that's bad for going to the little stick together time i have sex. insist some pathetic attempt at flirtation but when you put it that way. michael douglas dyan. man there's no smoking in here you're too young to smoke. so we go what do you still really. tell you can't do that fill it up some distance happens we hear sounds. good anybody cry that was

a clip from director rob run his new film and so it goes it's out in theaters now michael douglas and diane keaton what a pairing they were great so much fun they've never worked together before and they they it was instant chemistry between that. you like directing i do it so it's a lot of fun i mean it gave to i over i've always said that you know you i'm not great at anything i'm i'm good. good actor i'm a good writer you know musically i'm pretty good i have a good visual sense of not great in any but directing is the one job where you can put all those little talents together and it's good to be ok and so it goes is this food and few films like about real life people in your lives and it was actually about people of that age you know it's about finding love at that point in life you know finding love later on in life and we you know we made

a joke about it which is you know when i did bucket list you know that there's an audience out there for people who like to you know want to you know it's the baby boom generation i said i said of course demographic we've got you know one hundred percent desire to see with about a forty percent of billet he to get to the theater so. they're out there we just have to give and you put yourself in this kind of a short break well i'm in there you know i wanted paul shaffer or mark shamen who is because it's a piano player but they they weren't available so i was working i had a little low budget i was right needed somebody who would work for scale so i found myself looked around and then i got to where virtually undetectable oh yeah ok and there so you know there's always that's always a plus of douglas under-rated he's a he's a such a good actor such a good actor look at what he did last year with the liberace thing be on the can how great was that i mean it was it was great and the sensational in this you of

course made one of the american classics the princess bride language live for ever is it going to be a musical well they have disney theatricals bought the rights to it i've begun producing to make a musical out of it and i i would love this i think it could be i mean it lends itself naturally to songs as you wish you killed my father prepare to die inconceivable you know all of those there could be some great songs your dad is well he is thank you he's doing really well. just ninety two years old walks around the block every day writes every day mel brooks comes over they sit they watch a movie they have dinner you see says changes you've always been in favor of equality in marriage yet gay marriage is definitely coming and we see it everywhere how do you account for the swiftness of the well i mean a couple of things happen one is. you know. there's a there's a thing that happens when you hit a critical mass in a particular movement when proposition eight passed here in california we thought

this is incredible how could a liberal state like california endorse you know. a ban on gays and you know gays lesbians getting married so my wife and chad griffin and christina shop shockey we decided to you know to to file a federal lawsuit against proposition eight and we got ted olson and david boies the two guys who oppose each other in bush v gore when i met ted olson i told him i said you know you put me in bed for duty for two days after that that that supreme court ruling we got those guys to come together and we challenge proposition was the first time that marriage equality was challenged on a federal in a federal case it got all the way to the supreme court and we were able to overturn proposition eight but in the process we started educating people about this and a lot of people have been working very hard and slowly but surely people started to

see that you know hey my i have there's a gay person in my family there's a gay person that i work with there's a gay friend i have you know it everybody realize that this is the last piece of the civil rights puzzle that needs to be fixed and people started change when we started there was two states that had marriage equality now we've got nineteen states and the district of columbia and another nine states that have struck down marriage bans so the. the ball is really moving and now we've just want to a case in in virginia in the fourth circuit we just won an appeals and we're now we've asked for cert from the supreme court will see if we get it while we get so involved. you know i think it comes from my mom and dad you know they were both actively involved in the in the since my mother was involved in the you know against the vietnam war she was part of another mother for peace my dad march in

the moratorium we always talked about issues then you know doing on the family and seeing norman lear and how he was like a second dad to me and watching what he did and using his fame and celebrity to you know to affect change i thought you know this is something that i can do and i and so i've always always done it could you do all the family no i don't think you could do it on commercial television i think it certainly could be cable i mean you know we listen when more divided now than we ever were i mean you could do a red state blue state but we're very p.c. right now so you'd have to do it on cable that was a hysterical show thing that it was a lot of fun though i love working on that show was a great show cast on along yeah we got along great was like you know it was like a family movie is it was there mentally there's the wild on his hollywood effect affect politics. no not not not a lesson i don't think hollywood done all of hollywood i think individuals in

hollywood can have an effect the first thing they can do is they can raise awareness of a particular issue i mean michael j. fox you know with stem cell research george clooney with the situation in darfur in sudan. you can raise awareness but i think if unless you are willing to really steep yourself in the issue to the point where you not only can raise awareness but you can move the ball forward and understand the three dimensional chess game that you need to play with politics policy and p.r. and all of that then i think you can only raise awareness and you can get also get it and. down by being you know i'm a hollywood militant or whatever that thing is so what i've tried to do in the issues that i've got involved it is really steep myself in it so i'm not just some figurehead that's out there but on early childhood you know i went and passed

a bacco initiative to fund early childhood in california and then i i was the chairman of a state commission for seven years to implement it and you know the same with marriage equality same thing so you know you have to see it through i mean it's not just enough to you know say hey i'm for the environment and then not do anything you know what do you see in the midterm elections. it's going to be interesting i mean you know traditionally the midterms you have the party in power loses seats so you would think that we will probably lose some seats you know in both the house and the senate i hope that the senate is not doesn't go. all republican but it might it's right on the on the cusp i mean there's a couple of seats either way that could swing it one way or the other and the only reason i mention this is because there could be one more supreme court nominee

you know in the last couple of years of obama's administration and i would hope to think that he could put some in a you know you know affect the balance of the of the supreme court so hopefully i don't see any conservative retiring to no no and that's one of the reasons why we try to push for marriage equality now because. it's only they the liberals that are leaving the court and if you saw what happened sotomayor and also. elaina kagan replace to the liberals you know souter and and stevens so the next logical person who knows if you will is ruth bader ginsburg we don't know but if she goes again it would only be a wash and so kennedy still becomes the swing vote and you don't know which way he'll go but our instinct tells us that he would be with us on this issue but we don't i still firmly for hillary yes yeah i am for hillary i've always felt that

you know right now the system is broken i don't see it being fixed any time soon but the supreme court is always an issue and that is the most reason the most important reason to vote for president i feel that hillary of all the people has the most experience has probably more experience than anybody has ever had to do that job so yes can she get you know substantive things done during her term if she gets elected i don't know unless you know something happens drastically in congress and i don't see that happening. she's convention is going to run i'm not convinced that she's going to run i hope she does and i'll do whatever she wants me to do but no i'm not convinced because she is not somebody who likes to just have a job she likes to get things done she's you know very very aggressive in wanting to get things done. again she is goal oriented and i think that she might take

a look and say hey there's enough you know how do i move any agenda here with with the way things are in congress now having said that i still hope she runs because again it's about the supreme court is there a republican on the horizon that you from your political standpoint fear yes the only one i fear i know i don't fear i don't fear the only one right about the only one i think might have a chance in a general election and then the the route from the general to the to the i mean from the primary to the general is a tough road for anyone who could get elected from the republican party because right now the republican party has turned their backs on minorities and women and they they're not even trying to court them but jeb bush i don't know what his situation is jeb bush is the one moderate republican who's is intelligent he's from

a big swing state florida i think he is well liked in the latino community he's somebody who could win i think a general sort of get the nomination that's the question could he get could he you know run that gotten through the primaries i don't know and does he want to i don't know i mean chris christie until the until the bridge thing you know would have had a chance but again could chris christie get through you know a primary challenge or he doesn't run is there a democrat you like oh yeah there's a there's a number of them i mean i. i like like cuomo you know from from new york like joe biden there are a number of good democrats with long elizabeth warren's terrific terrific you're a no i got another movie coming i have two movies that i'm developing now that i'm trying to try in the middle of trying to cast and i'm really excited about television for the first time you know you go to dinner parties now and people talk

about did you see the last breaking bad episode or did you see house of cards or can you are you are you excited about the new homeland season people are talking about television of them rate yeah lots of the i mean i love there's a show called rectify that i love it's on the sundance channel it's a sensational i mean the writing is great the character development is great and i think a lot of really good things are being done and tell anybody who wants is now all the actors in hollywood want to do and tell a want to do television and the creative people want to do television because there's more creative freedom thank you rob reiner and so it goes stars michael douglas and diane keaton directed by mr reiner who also costars is out in theaters now for more information on the film check out and so it goes the movie dot com thanks as always for joining me on politicking number i want to hear from you join the conversation on my facebook page share your thoughts on twitter.
