you know, meryl streep, i read states. i... you know, meryl streep, iread an states. i... with her last night, i think she was speaking at another engagement and obviously, she has endured a lot of very visceral attack is of one sort of another. and her view was, i don't have a choice, i have to. because she is so affronted by the values appearing to be represented. i don't think it's... i don't see there is any in it. i realise... it's not as though hollywood has a great record in terms of diversity itself. yes, some high achievers like meryl streep can make their big statements... but what is the alternative? not to say anything? on the one level, hollywood generates this voice which is so liberal and so this voice which is so liberal and so attacking and everything that they believe trump represents the same time, if you dig deep into the structure of the movie industry, the industry you have been in so long, it is totally lacking in diversity. it is not open to people of all colours and all economic classes. learning some hard lessons right now. that's absolutely true.

and meryl streep claiming to be a member of the victimized oppressed class.id: talk about meryl streep, i don't know if it's all about box office sales because she got very political and she was nominated for a movie that hollywood reporter says is atrocious and nominated, they say, because of the fact that she had these anti-trump tirades. >> i haven't seen the movie, david and meryl streep is one of my favorite actresses of all time. i think they're hurting themselves. back to 1998, upwards of 50 million people were tuning into the oscars. the number is down to 35 million today. only hurting themselves. people don't watch entertainment to be preached to. david: that's right. and steve, the fact is that sometimes the politics of these people does affect their judgment, right? >> it does, indeed. what they should do is take a cue from lady gaga far to the left, but what she did at the super bowl, fantastic entertainment. david: avoided politics entirely. >> and respected her audience, which hollywood has got to learn to do. david: some people say there's iron

meryl streep pop up here, 66 to 1 odds., but it was meryl streep, we talk about the portfollitical conten. meryl streep with the speech that got so much attention. do the politics of hollywood, the politics of the academy awards spill over into the voting. what i'm asking, she gave that impassioned political speech, her name's on the ballot, could that have won her votes? >> yes, and i think we can't write her off. it was just a few years ago, meryl streep pulled off an upset over viola davis in the help. she was in the iron lady. and everyone's jaw was on the floor. she could do it again. remember, just last week when the voting was going on, meryl was making a lot of strong political statements. i think that was her way of wooing the hollywood left to her corner, but look, this is all about la la land on sunday night. and emma stone is the heart and soul of that movie. she has to win. if there's an upset here, it will come from isabell, the french actress simple lit because the oscars are, you know, sometimes all about sn

do you have any idea what meryl streep was trying to say there, brit?think she was signaling to the audience in the room, which no doubt has no use for donald trump than she does, that she is one of them. and that she wants them to believe, i guess, that she is courageous for taking on donald trump and that she has been subjected to this nazi like behavior, i guess come on twitter, or wherever else, from people who admire mr. trump. so, i think that it is what it is about. and it is not uncommon these days to hear these veiled or not so veiled references to fascism and's and many conjunction to donald trump. i think it is spectacularly ill-informed and nearly hysterical. there is a lot of it out there. >> bill: reported a call miss streep to come on the program and talk about the history that she refers to. what bothered me about it most of all is that she seems to be saying that if you criticize her comments about the president, that you are a nazi. the brownshirts, as you know, anyone who knows history, were vicious animals. they were too gross for hi

it was only a few haurs after meryl streep's speech that the president weighed in on twitter and made deal. >> thanks, you guys, have a great monday. >> and thank you to you, david gregory. >> i was sweeping up in the back. they said they needed someone in for cuomo. always a pleasure. >> great to have you. >> cnn "newsroom" with poppy harl harlow after the quick break. with car insurance, and i was not happy with the customer service. we have switched back over and we feel like we're back home now. the process through usaa is so effortless, that you feel like you're a part of the family. i love that i can pass the membership to my children, and that they can be protected. we're the williams family, and we're usaa members for life. call usaa today to talk about your insurance needs. now that i work there, i value dothe food even more. i feed it to yoshi because there are no artificial colors, preservatives and it's made with real chicken. i'm so proud to make dog chow natural in davenport, iowa. here you go.picking up for kyle. you wouldn't put up with part of a pizza. um. something w

got into it over her characterization over meryl streep's markets. >> it was an epic twitter battle, bad back and forth. yeah. look, if you look at artists who have done something similar over the years, dixie chicks in 2003 admonished george w. bush, the lead singer saying she was ashamed to come from the same state as the president. people burned their album. radio stations wouldn't play their songs. it goes back and forth. >> steve patterson, thank you. >> yep. >>> agree or disagree, celebrities who talk politics hurt their brand. final scoreboard on that. let's take a quick look. 16% agree. 84% disagree. celebrities do not hurt their brand by talking politics. ladies and gentlemen, that is it for me this hour.

when you think of meryl streep in her acceptance speech, you think of donald trump, you don't ago merylp and you don't think of this incredible body of work. anything about lady gaga's halftime super bowl performance, you thing about an incredible performer who is absolutely slaying it's going to a costume change, she did a really great job and were talking about her performance. if she had said and then like that, today we would be talking about donald trump and not her, and for that she is a much smarter person in this equation. >> it really depends on how much you paid attention, because those that really did, she was very subtly nuanced but there were some political things. >> tom: where, tell me, where were they? >> in the beginning she started with america the beautiful and went right into this land is our land, which is on that women's suffrage supporters enchanted at their speeches. she also said born in this, which is a very pro-lgbt, pro-interracial thing. there were some moments there. it was subtle and nuanced. >> tom: mike, born this way? trump was born in that way. >> i th
