And were in our kennel and taking a lot down with us in the process.

We have to stop it.

Were the ones who can make the difference.

Lets get rid of the Joe Manchins, she said.

But I mean, lets be real because the alternative is the end of everything.

Despite her political activism, Fonda told Roberts that she has never considered running for office.

And thats not one of them.

Fonda then quipped, I dont have any original ideas.

Im the one who takes your ideas and then I get credit for it.

I wanted to be at the bottom of the mountain with the people who are needing the money.

I want to know why they needed the money.
