Sandra talks about her recent film Gravity and what a blessing it was for her�and how she had to let it settle in before she worked on the next project, “Our Brand is Crisis.”

“Failing badly in the polls, a Bolivian presidential candidate enlists the services of an American management team for help. The main star is “Calamity” Jane Bodine (Sandra Bullock), a brilliant strategist who comes out of self-imposed retirement for a chance to beat her professional nemesis, the loathsome Pat Candy. With Candy working for the opposition, it becomes a down-and-dirty, all-out battle between political consultants, where nothing is sacred and winning is all that matters.”

If you asked 13-year-old Kathleen Madigan what she wanted to be when she grew up, you would probably be surprised to hear her answer: a jockey. “I�m short and I look really good in green and white satin,” the comedian quipped (just a small reminder of why being funny is the�perfect career for her). A native Missourian, Kathleen draws inspiration for her comedy acts from her home state, her large extended family (she’s 1 of 7 kids!), and even the 2016 presidential candidates.

In this edition of Greta Talk, Kathleen sits down with her “biggest fan” Greta Van Susteren and hilarity ensues as the pair discusses the reason Kathleen’s mom won’t make a left turn, her family’s “Doomsday Preppers” cabin, and the possibility of the On the Record host�spending Thanksgiving with the Madigans!

Morton Kondracke has teamed up with his former�co-host of Fox News Channel’s The Beltway Boys once again, but this time he and Fred Barnes have opted for a different medium: literature. The duo has written a new book about one of their heroes and all-around “bleeding-heart conservative”�Jack Kemp, and Greta Van Susteren sat down with Kondracke to get the scoop.

In this edition of Greta Talk, Kondracke tells the On the Record host all about “the�most important politician of the 20th century who was not president”, including his life as a pro football player, his ties to Paul Ryan, and what the 2016 presidential candidates could learn from Kemp.

Also, which�active politician�is the “closest to the Kemp spirit and substance that there is”?

Jeff Smith ran for Congress, was a Democratic member of the Missouri Senate, and an all-around political “rising star”. That is, until he was charged with obstruction of justice and sentenced to a year and a day in Manchester, KY Federal Prison. Now, Smith is “reformed” and has written about his experience with the criminal justice system in his new book,�Mr. Smith Goes to Prison.

In this edition of Greta Talk, the New School Urban Policy professor�tells Greta Van Susteren about the events leading up to his�sentencing (including how his “former best friend” wore a wire in order to catch him�incriminating himself), how criminal justice reform has a long way to go, and how��there�s not a single concept you learn at Wharton that you couldn�t learn inside prison”.
