00:00Welcome back to TMZ Live.

00:02There's a Kennedy situation that we've got to talk about.

00:06I always thought this was interesting.

00:08Chris Pratt is married into a family that is traditionally

00:14known as, like, the Democratic Party family.

00:20Well, in the past, yes.

00:22In the past, yes.

00:23Certainly.

00:23But now you have RFK Jr.

00:26Who is, by the way, is a Democrat.

00:29Democrat, but is in the cabinet with President Trump.

00:33And supported Trump in the election.

00:35Supported Trump very vocally.

00:38So how does Chris Pratt feel about this?

00:40And Chris Pratt, we should say, has never said anything

00:42about his politics.

00:44We know he talks about his religion.

00:46There are reasons to believe he is conservative,

00:49though he's never actually said anything about politics.

00:51But there are definite reasons to believe that.

00:53There are reasons that you can believe that.

00:54So how does he feel about the RFK Jr. situation?

00:58How does it sit with the family?

01:01He talked about it with Bill Maher.

01:03He was on Bill's podcast, Club Random.

01:06And this is what he said about his interactions

01:09with RFK Jr.

01:10And I think you can parse out something about how the family

01:13feels about RFK Jr. as well.

01:15I've spent, you know, a number of occasions hanging with him

01:20just in a strictly, you know, family dinner kind of vibe.

01:23And I really got along with him well.

01:25He's great.

01:26I think he's great.

01:27I think he's funny.

01:27He's wonderful.

01:28I like him.

01:29Yes.

01:29I love him.

01:30Politics, it's a nasty business.

01:34And so my little bit of experience, I've been able to see

01:36how the person that you are can be sometimes in stark contrast

01:39to the person that your enemy is saying that you are.

01:43And in politics, you inherit enemies.

01:45You know, what's really interesting about that

01:47is that his mother-in-law, she dated and then married

01:53a very famous Republican, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

01:56So it's not like that family hasn't had direct experience.

02:00They've been down this road.

02:01They've been down the road.

02:03I got to say that I have a lot of issues

02:07with RFK Jr.'s policies, but I know him

02:12and I know him mostly from my gym

02:15because we go to the same gym, at least when he lived in LA.

02:19And he was always a really nice guy.

02:23And we would talk and laugh.

02:26And, you know, I kind of get what Chris Pratt is saying.

02:30We always talk about this around Thanksgiving, right?

02:33That you have in a big family, there are going to be people

02:36who not everybody agrees when it comes to politics.

02:40So how much do you disagree before you just lie?

02:43That's the question.

02:44How do you sit around the table?

02:45But it sounds like, you know,

02:47RFK is still, they're going to be fine.

02:50Although it's not true with a lot of the rest

02:51of the Kennedy family,

02:53because a lot of them are really against.

02:54Yeah, I'm pretty sure Jack Schlossberg,

02:56I don't think is going to be breaking bread.

02:58Rory Kennedy, there are a lot of people.

03:00Yeah, it is refreshing though, right?

03:02I think you see a lot of people,

03:04you associate them with their party.

03:06I think that's what Chris is trying to say here, right?

03:07That if he's a Democrat or he's a Republican,

03:09I got to hate him.

03:10He's like, I can disagree with some of his policies

03:12and I can still like him.

03:13So I thought it was a refreshing take that, okay,

03:15we can separate the policies and the parties

03:18and just people's personalities.

03:20Sometimes you can.

03:21Yeah, hopefully.

03:22Hey, this is Keith from D.C., man.

03:24But on the Chris Patton, RFK Jr. situation,

03:28I felt like, you know, it was copacetic and laughs

03:31when it's at home and I guess behind the scenes

03:34at this point.

03:35You know, when it comes to politics and his position,

03:38he would rather stay out of it because, you know,

03:41people can take your opinion and spin it

03:44or take it the wrong way being that, you know,

03:46when it comes to political atmospheres, you know,

03:50it could be radically charged about the littlest things.

03:54You're right.

03:54And by the way, kind of a smart career move

03:58because why piss off half your, half the people who-

04:02I think there's, he said,

04:03that's why he doesn't talk about his politics.

04:05Kind of makes sense.
