Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks on the relevance of "The Post" today

Combined, award-winning actors Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks have appeared in more than 100 films. But "The Post" marks the first time they are on screen together. In the movie, Streep plays Katharine Graham, the publisher of the Washington Post, and Hanks portrays legendary editor Ben Bradlee. The plot centers on the paper's famous and difficult decision to publish top secret government information from the Pentagon Papers in 1971. Streep and Hanks join "CBS This Morning" to discuss how the film resonates today.

Legendary Meryl, greatest actress of Hollywood! We love you. ))

[@stefhublou1813]

What a great film! Some of us in the audience spontaneously gave an applause when Kay' Graham made courageous decisions. The Oscar for Meryl would be wonderful. And thank God for Steven, who made another film that encourages good people to do their utmost to steer History in a decent direction...

[@richardrosebealprestonjohn3144]

Thumbs up Tom Hank and Meryl Streep!

[@burdenedwithgloriouspurpos9132]

Wow, I don't get it, why is there so much hate in the comments? What's wrong people?

[@pastytit]

Because noncers . Roman Polanski. Look in to.it.

[@sweaterweather101]

Thank you, from a grateful journalist!

[@richard202]

SHE KNEW!!!!

[@davidcarlson1208]

Wonderful!!

[@terrybuckalew6874]

The two are good at acting I never knew how lost they are I don't want to watch anymore of their movies

[@yasminhabibti721]

So unfortunately relevant. 😳

[@daveashby9989]

Meryl was so perfect to play Kate. Just for fun play a vid of Kate talking then clip of Meryl as Kate . It’s outstanding:)

[@will.a.benjamin]

For being almost 70, Streep still looks great.

[@gerrirose6678]

She looks great period! 20, 30, 40..........90; whatever. A fabulous actor (not just an actress), an admirable woman.

[@syxsyx9780]

She drinks the blood of teenage girls.....

[@carrieheffernan1685]

He reminds me so much of that guy on Life in Pieces.

[@EmoSew1]

awww man i wud love to talk to him about type writers all day

[@idicula1979]

Listening to Meryl Streep here and seeing her on the golden globes I think she is a sweet old lady and people to get old she looks is graceful in it. I mean this with all loving but she is kind of a dork Tom Hanks too, they are humble, kind, and a kind of funny how parents could be. They are genius actors and like all actors they are called to a moment to reveal more of it, and like all geniuses they know what they don't know, they take the slivers of life that they can shine in, and learn the other facets without raising the needless Ire in others ( Your Sean Hannities, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump creepy crawley aside.)

[@muurisoras5878]

Two of the greatest actors of our time loads of love

[@msteaguer1908]

i've noticed pixeled blurry look on many youtube videos from big named and youtube big named personalities since Dec. 12, 2017. has anyone else?

[@Highglow66]

No, it all looks fine here.. Net Neutrality, maybe? Idk lol

[@ronmosely8355]

Pure Genius!

[@garryharriman7349]

Daniel Eslsberg and the story behind his leaked 'Pentagon Papers' is indeed a story worth telling. It could be argued that he was a precursor to Julian Assange or Edward Snowden. However, the full story, I feel, probably is a lot more sinister than is know. In terms of modern day journalism....serious, thorough and feerless, unobstructed journalistic integrity is sadly lacking. If this weren't the case, we , the public, we know far more about modern day events (like 9/11 as an example) and numerous events that are seemingly immune from public scrutiny and where do much more facts remain buried.

[@raissat7372]

Meryl Streep is the most beautiful, strong and humble human being. A inspiration for thousand of women around the world. All my love and admiration to you, QUEEN!

[@michellevioletta4410]

Raíssa Toscano yes

[@michellevioletta4410]

heisen Berg this must be a guy . Maybe she was scared u never kno. Hey better late than never .

[@NYCITY3]

I know right, how come Nastassja kinski is so quiet.

[@belindabell2]

Raíssa Toscano : boy are you deluded!!

[@raissat7372]

YES, Michelle

[@bhjngggftrrrde]

It happened in Venezuela! That is a modern perfect example, and the fact that USA is showing sympthoms is just a way to know this could happen to any country no matter how big, how modern or how “powerful”

[@arimax888]

can't wait to see it :)

[@Palladio-gu3dj]

Give it away? Since this happened in 1971 I dont think there is a surprise ending for heavens sake!

[@larrydav1d]

Palladio 1500 he was joking

[@maureentolaas7837]

Lots of viewers may have been born well after 1971 and most likely aren't well read educated on any of it!

[@marshacreary9771]

3:36-3:56 Sounds like 'Anchorman '

[@olivergrumitt8033]

Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks are perfectly entitled like anyone else in a democracy to express their opinions. If you don’t Like what they have to say then just ignore them. Or is the USA not a democracy any more? Wherever or not I agree With their views, I shall continue to watch their films, as they are two of the best film stars, not just at the moment, But have been for a long time. It is so sad that these days people can not disagree with each other without making Vicious and nasty personal attacks.

[@randypotter7442]

Streep + Hanks = box office poison.

[@jibucks]

We like ourselves very much.

[@iamthepapi6622]

So glad that actor at the awards put all these Hollywood people in their place way2go Rick

[@xvichaqarosanidze1834]

I'm God's server and Georgian soldier, I respect your clear heart! I'm proud to see you 😊 and nice to meet you 😊! I wanna to tell you 😊 don't worry 😊 forgive your enemies and God will be with you 😊 God bless 😊 your family 👪 and friends!

[@fadhilramadhani1847]

Who does Meryl mean when she refer to "except maybe your mother"?

[@The1outside]

Fadhil Ramadhani the mother of the male interviewer was Nancy Dickerson, who was among the first female political reporters on the US TV, if not the first one.

[@peace1652]

Barbara Walter.

[@shack8110]

Meryl has been coasting off her early performances for decades.

[@amrhosseini3694]

اكتر اتنين بحبهم

[@MagnumInnominandum]

" Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks on relevance " That says it all CBS

[@faithlogan2185]

Nothing like being reminded that Meryl Streep is getting blamed for the actions of Roman Polanski and Harvey Weinstein while Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are getting lavishly praised for doing the same thing. First rule of misogyny: women are always responsible for men's actions.

[@abbatrouble]

Meryl is getting blamed for HER actions - not theirs! She enabled, praised, defended and supported the monsters!

[@faithlogan2185]

Yeah I'm sure you're going around telling people who blame her for Polanski being a pedophile that, right? Or are you just shouting down anyone who points out that men are responsible for their own actions. Given your reply history, I can guess.

[@zyzzyvacation]

Anybody know the 'new face' in Charlie Rose's chair? Is he a temporary host?

[@scottbennett777]

Wired Weird en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dickerson_(journalist)

[@zyzzyvacation]

Scott Bennett Many thanks for that. I can 😴💤 nights once again

[@randypotter7442]

If we get get a spat with Little Rocket Man , we could drop this bomb of a movie (it's not a film) on North Korea. That would wipe out millions.

[@Photojouralist123]

I've been in Mongolia, for awhile where's Charlie Rose?

[@conlasganas]

It would be more relevant if the film was about Daniel Ellsberg, the one who actually took those documents from the NSA, not the journalists

[@laxus9451]

Would love to see debra winger and jeff bridges together

[@3dartistguy]

shes never going to stop channeling Miranda Priestley.

[@turnedaround4954]

I love them both, but this is the first time I see Tom Hanks interviewed. he doesn't come across as very nice, kinda rude and arrogant/ dismissive. Will just watch his movies, I prefer him being someone else. Anyway, this movie looks fantastic

[@rogh1977]

Clearly....this is a runaway winner in #Oscars2018

[@arfrances7609]

Gee, why did I think they might mention the direct parallel to Julian Assange and Wikileaks in terms of freedom to publish?

[@danieljoseph255]

Where's Charlie Rose?

[@zdelany6963]

films looks good can't wait to see

[@Er.Sunil.Pedgaonkar]

wish;Ms.Streep had acted with ( or met ) Indian Bollywood International Actor- Mr.Shashi Kapoor!

[@B-Man-69]

So......she still backing up child rapists?

[@abbatrouble]

Just seeing one of them is horrible but to see both together is vomit inducing.

[@SaurierDNA]

Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks look and talk like Mika and Psycho Joe of MSNBC.. Have difficulty keeping them appart

[@randypotter7442]

Activated, now that's FUNNY.

[@juandelafuente5811]

Miss Meryl Streep, there is going to be part 2 of this movie titled " How the Washington Post became the Washington Compost ". Starring Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama with cameo roles from CNN, MSNBC, and a host of mainstream fake media reporters....

[@IndiaBurke]

WELL PUT "#TOSERVE THE GOVERNED "

[@dogstar8871]

As for The Post, won't see this film - nothing I've read about it addresses the issue of the PPs' authorship and honesty - most analysts I respect call the PPs a "limited hangout", e.g., "Although it probably did not cross Ellsberg's mind when he released the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times, he succeeded in doing what the Agency, on its own, has rarely been able to do for more than twenty years: he made the CIA 'look good' through what inhabitants of the Pickle Factory themselves would call a 'highly credible source'." from ratical.org/ratville/JFK/ST/STchp8.html THE SECRET TEAM The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World L.

I just bought Tom's book. You're welcome.

[@john123033]

Meryl and Tom knew, cover up . Boycott them

[@snoopocalypse6580]

Ruh roh. There goes Tom Hanks’ career.

[@sbn49ajc98]

Streep and Hanks ... just can't resist advising others what you deem important for everyone. An inflated ego deflates judgement.

[@rudayo]

I can't help but think streep, hanks, and spielberg are going down.

[@liliks14]

his latest movies (crystal skull , Tintin, this one i bet) are garbage compared to what he's able to do . She's been a mess lately and he is a major Bore

when wil Streep do a movie about all the Clintons coruption and killings ?

How so? Why would Harvey go out of his way to ensure that Meryl knew everything he did, behind closed doors?

Tom Hanks you're the best!! '..what I love about type writers..' lol! And Meryl really knows her stuff! Great duo!!😄

[@MG-jj3pn]

Timely! America, open your eyes and unplug your nose. We are living in a dangerous time. It is up to believer in democracy to take the reigns and remove the current stain that is Donald Trump and his swamp.

[@trollhunter8148]

underated actress..

[@margogo1057]

Meryl Streep...NOT! No thank you. Pass. Tom Hanks, you dropped on my list, although it almost looks like you're trying to lean away from her without making it obvious. You look like you're in pain sitting next to her. At the same time why are their seats so close? Tom I really liked you. :/

[@margogo1057]

Ugh, Meryl trying to usurp Toms good energy. She's annoying and too condescending...I don't like them in this interview together😁

[@judithbateson3000]

Won't ever watch any of their moves again. Disgusted with them! Just happened on this site. wont' be on again.

[@joelleaittama1416]

Her movies of late have bombed. This one will too, lol.

[@wylier]

Sorry to burst your bubble, joelle, but I just tracked the film on Box Office Mojo. It had the SINGLE HIGHEST per-screen average of any movie out over last weekend! The rave reviews and award noms don't seem to be hurting it's bottom line, either.

[@shack8110]

Not with the promotion by the esteemed CBS. XD

[@slpjbp8232]

Just made $$$,$$$,$$$ internationally so movie was good and a def a hit

[@Wonderland1994]

I can't wait for the movie. I love Meryl and Tom.

[@lifeissweet9826]

Are they for real? are they actually preaching to the rest of us that their movie has relevance? it is the Washington Post. I am never going to be inter4ested in that rag. But with Meryl Streep in it and now Tom Hanks, this movie will not be seen by many thousands of people who are ABSOLUTELY OFFENDED BY THE TWO OF THEM. they need to just go away.

[@fggfdfvhhg6409]

Im not an american can some one place explain what is the deal with Weinstein and polonski and why is everybody hating on merly Streep

[@budblack5428]

She wants to empower women as to give them all a sack to carry and grab whenever they need support.

For some reason I can't stand Meryl Streep nowadays. I instantly fall in line for any Spielberg film with Hanks in it.

I heard this is Harvey Weinsteins last film before all this crazzzyness happened...... looks like an awesome film but I know a lot of people are going to skip it because of him....... I hope before they sentence him they will look at all the great films he created and then let him do community service in a womens shelter or animal hospiatal...if thats fair.

[@weantoine]

This is by Steven Speilberg

Whots eating Meryl.

[@thpt]

good christ, Tom Hanks, do you have to interrupt EVERYONE?

[@antonyantony2052]

My intention with my comment is not to be mean. I just want you to use your imagination. Watch this clip and pretend this is the back story sort to speak. Watch this clip and I really want you to get into a certain frame of mind. Watch this clip and pretend that Hanks and Streep and the rest of the panel are as high as a kite. And then you will laugh. They are all having a really hard time forming coherent sentences. Pause the clip and look at their facial expressions. This is a high comedic art form.
