Republicans and Democrats need each other.

That's what we're...

That's what we don't admit,

because we keep each other from going too far one way or the other.

You know, the fringe is taking over.

I myself, I'm an independent.

I mean, I've voted both ways all my life.

So I'm not a registered Republican.

But once the judicial system was used on him, to me, that was messing with our Constitution.

And that's not America. And that's what, you know, got me back the other way that I'm definitely

voting for. This week on the Sunday special, Dennis Quaid joins us ahead of the premiere of the

upcoming biopic, Reagan, coming to theaters nationwide Friday, August 30th. Quaid is quite the

Renaissance man. He's a two-time Golden Globe nominated actor, musician, self-proclaimed golf addict,

and licensed pilot.

After over 40 years in Hollywood, Quaid recently moved to Nashville, where he founded his own production company, Bonniedale Films. Quaid is known for his roles in breaking away, the right stuff, Big Easy, and the Parent Trap. But his career has spanned nearly every genre of film, from dramas to thrillers, rom-coms, and action roles. In today's episode, Quaid discusses how he prepared to portray Ronald Reagan, including his visit to the Reagan Ranch and his observations about Reagan's psyche. Quaid also reflects on the parallels between our current political moment and President Reagan's era, offers a few predictions about the future of Hollywood, and shares a few of his favorite all-time films. You don't want to miss Dennis Quaid in Reagan, coming out in theaters nationwide, August 30th. From Hollywood to the Oval Office, Quaid brings one of our country's greatest

presidents back to life on the silver screen. Welcome back to another episode of the Sunday

special.

Dennis Quaid, thank you so much for stopping by.

Thank you, Ben. Thanks for having me.

Absolutely. So let's jump right into it about the film.

So obviously, it's the first biopic of Reagan, which is in and of itself totally insane.

He's one of the most historic presidents in American history.
