Natalie Portman Was Friends With Jared Kushner (Emphasis On Was)

How nice to finally talk to you. I'm so glad to finally be here. I've wanted to interview for so long. I've wanted to be on your show for so long. Well, then we both sat there and got high. How are you? I'm fine, thank you, I'm glad to know. Your birthday was June 9th last Saturday and Mark Hamill marked your birthday by sending this. He said a curious fact. I have never met this woman, but. You're his mom I know wait you're his mom you've never met him you've never met him how is that possible? Too bad I would love to meet you Mark I would love to meet you Where are you from?

It didn't happen, she said happy birthday, no, so maybe that would be: I've spent more time with Mark Hamill than you and I've spent more time with you than Mark Hamill. It's like I'm the center of the Star Wars universe, happy. birthday, thank you now, we know you're an Oscar-winning actress. Everyone loves Zero as a performer, yes, but you have a recurring theme in many of your performances. You are very smart. Yes, you have played a biologist, a scientist. and a doctor educated at MIT, a lawyer even in the popcorn movie Thor, there is an astrophysicist what a game, but you went to Harvard, you are a real know-it-all.

I don't know, I guess so. Are you saying they let suckers into Harvard? I mean, wait. You actually graduated in the same class as Jared Kushner, didn't you? That's right. Oh, would you like that? Would you like to be seen as an intelligent person or is it a burden? Do you just want to play someone as dumb as a bag? of hammers, yeah, that would be fun, I mean, yeah, I don't know, you're also seen as a very smart Brainiac, double that again, right Diana? Basically, I just have a good memory, yeah, but I played one of the dumbest people I know for 10 years you know it with pride with pride um now can I ask you something about Kushner at Harvard do you have any memories of him? great student that's true yes you would mind yes hmm what can I say I would do whatever you want ah it's a free country yes I mean the last days of may be right I don't know unfortunately it's not very good It's not very funny to say that someone The person you were

friends

with became a supervillain, so you know, it's not funny.

I would watch that movie, even though he said in some interview that the

friends

he lost because of politics are like exfoliating, no, I was like. Okay, wow, like the spa metaphor school, you're a proud dead skin cell, that's why it closed, that's beautiful baby soft skin, that's exactly right, so now you have a documentary called Eating Animals, yeah , okay, it's opening in New York this week and it's opening in two different cities across the United States in the next few weeks no, I get it, since you don't eat animals, I don't eat animals, okay and I get that you had a period of your life in which you also did not eat animals, for seven months from Just now, last year, for seven months, I had nothing that had eyes that passed my lips, so nothing with a hoof, you know, nothing with feathers , nothing with flakes, no milk, no dairy or anything.

For seven months I lost a bet and my wife is so good that she joined me and she's still doing it, but seven months later there was only so much roasted cauliflower a man could have, so now I'll make the fish o something like that, but how long have you been gone? outside of meat, um, I've been a vegetarian since I was nine years old. Oh, vegan, more recently, okay, like seven years ago, being vegan and for health reasons, or is this because of the morality of the way and what the film consists of. It's industrial agriculture, which is 99% of how all animals are raised and dairy eggs included, it's in really terrible conditions, but it's also like the number one source of pollution and more than cars, anything else, is it?

How come the cow farts? which I've heard a lot about yes and yes and their feces and everything that goes into our water supply in our soil that's why we have ecoli in vegetables it's from sick animals you know it's not nice and it's bland yeah so Actually , the movie really focuses on the good farmers who are doing well but can't work within the system because of the type of company, so we have a clip here. I think this is one of the good farmers. I better know what we're about to see here. He is a chicken farmer.

I think he's fine with the turkey. I didn't know him. It's Frank with the turkey. They tell me it's Frank with the turkeys. Okay, Jim, let's meet Frank. He did everything possible to make those birds exist. I have his parents, his grandparents. I collected the eggs. I laid the eggs. I washed the eggs. I spent hours and days caring for them when they were babies and months being with them in the pasture. Some of the lines I have here this really makes Simone Earth laugh, so he's a guy who raises chickens and turkeys in what you would consider in a humane or more humane way, okay, so the movie isn't like not eating anything at all. , but if you're going to try to do it in a way that's more sustainable and not cruel to animals, and that's really a small percentage that is doing it right, and then how can we as consumers demand that there be more of that and less? of factory farms because I think everyone, when they look at it, it is not possible to eat the same way and how can we, as consumers, demand more?

Well, people go to their grocery stores, like Walmart, which started serving and selling organic foods because consumers were asking for them. If you know there were no organic products in Walmart, then it's the same if consumers demand it and also being aware of that they like once a day or once a week, think about not eating them even if you are not going to make a complete lifestyle change just be more aware if everyone did it it would be much better no, no, I don't need anything with hoof is my thing now oh, I make these rules, I didn't have anything with a hoof, um, I have a friend Paul, who says he won't eat anything that's prettier than him and that's everything that's on land, everything that It's on land, so if I still eat fish, because I'll stop doing it.

Sully ate a fish at this point. Do you judge me? No, I don't judge. anyone, you don't choose, I don't like it when people say: what if a carrot has feelings? Natalie and I are like, oh, let me eat what I want, you know, it's just the fact that it's okay, what if what if I would never do it? That would be scary if carrots had feelings, yeah that would be bad, yeah, so what would you eat dirt? I guess you would eat dirt, you would have to do photosynthesis at which point you would be screwed, yeah, no, I don't want to.

I don't want to judge anyone, it's just that when you see it, it really feels like you know if we look back a hundred years from now and say what were we doing inhumanly, now you know the way we can look back at different points of history I think this is not the most important thing, this is really, you know, the way animals are raised is really and then once we start treating animals better, maybe we will start treating each other better , ah yes, we can only hope we can only. I hope and vote eating animals and select cinemas tomorrow, that's Natalie Portman.
