Sharon Stone doesn’t trust Trump one bit. In this members-only episode of The New Abnormal podcast, the actress sits down with host Molly Jong-Fast to chat about abortion, the #MeToo movement, voting, and the pandemic. Growing up, Stone attributes her involvement in politics to her father. "He was really believed that people of all races, colors, creeds, gender identities should have the same rights and privileges. And it was a very, very strong attitude in our family," Stone said. The two also spoke about her thoughts on the election, and all the things she’s doing to help get out the vote. “I had the great pleasure of moderating a zoom fundraiser. I worked with a good friend of mine and we organized a grassroots voting campaign called Vote Proud to get people out to vote who are in the LGBTQ community. Anything and everything that I possibly can do to get people out to vote," she said. Stone then touches on Trump's response to the pandemic. We’ll just say this: Don’t expect her to be first in line to get a vaccine if he’s still the president. and says there’s no way a vaccine is safe right now and touches on her work with infectious disease expert Dr. Fauci. "We do not have a clear path to a safe vaccine yet at all," she says, adding in her thoughts on Dr. Anthony Fauci and what she really thinks of the president: “He does not respect himself and others."

Hi. I'm so thrilled to have you. It's really fun. So one of the reasons why I really wanted to have you on the show was besides the fact that we're both friends with wonderful Ed is because I was think of you as like very smart and thoughtful. Well, that's kind of you. Thank you.
I was curious to know we talked a little bit about your early work with congressional races and stuff. Do you want to talk a little bit about what made you a political person?
I grew up in a very small town in Pennsylvania, and the newspaper when I was a kid was called the Tribune Republican. My dad was such a diehard Democrat.
It was really interesting in this little very small town, very Republican, small town in Pennsylvania. And my dad was a very active Democrat. And in that, I mean that he really believed in very specific things. He was a feminist, which was, of course, completely unheard of where I grew up, because when he was little, he came from a very wealthy family, one of the first oil drilling families in Oil City, Pennsylvania, when there was a major explosion at the oil site which killed his dad's brother, who was his dad's partner.
And his dad had walked away to get a sweater because he had pneumonia. And then his dad died four months later. And his grandmother, his mother, my grandmother did not get any of the business because she was a woman. The business all went to the 18 year old son of my great uncle, who, of course, lost it all in record time as any 18 year old kid would. And my dad and his brother, who were four and three at the time, had to be given away to live in people's barns and do their chores.
And my aunt and my grandmother, my grandmother had to go and work as a nurse in an asylum. And my aunt went and lived with her in that asylum. And my dad became a really hardcore feminist because he felt that that was so unjust and so strange because the original financial had vestment in the oil wells had been my grandmother's and the money did not come back to her or to her family. So my dad just felt that I should grow up with the same rights as my sister and I and my brothers should all grow up with the same rights and privileges.
And he was really believed that people of all races, colors, creeds.
Dear Dad, ever since you passed out of Donegal and onto the music scene, I've been your biggest fan.
And when you came to visit, I could have to you when you offered to fix my boner. I could have told you, Daniel, because you're not a registered installer. I'm returning all your albums and my Rolling Stones.
I love Daniel. Jerkish Goodbye Forever from Mary. He has done. You can find your local registered gas installer, R.G. Ikoyi.
