Cameron Douglas is the son of actor Michael Douglas. He is promoting his book Long Way Home that covers his troubled life with addiction, incarceration, recovery.
Summary of conversation [Spoiler (click to open)]
[I don’t know what I expected but he seems humble. Also those Douglas chin genes are strong.]
Whoopi thinks people assume those who come from famous parents, wealth, that life is brilliant. But Cameron started drugs at age 13. CD says there’s lots of people who were dealt a more difficult hand than him, but drug abuse and addiction knows no boundaries. Writing the book helped him make some sense of his past. Can’t change his mistakes but might be helpful to those who are struggling as well as loved ones and families who have a loved one who is an addict. Sunny covers details, robbed people at gunpoint, his dad said he feared CD was going to kill someone, be killed, or die himself. CD says no matter how much you love someone, there’s only so much you can do, you just have to hope they find a way out. Abby covers more details when he was at his lowest. CD talks about his mindset during that time. Felt truly lost. Abby asks how that led to selling drugs. CD says he was hired to do a movie shooting in Ireland, about 2 mos earlier he developed a her0in habit. Flash forward drama, then family said he could part ways with his gf and check in to in-patient rehab or he was on his own. He was ashamed at being fired, he was loyal to gf who had stuck by him during dark times, chose the latter option, he was nearly living on the street.
Whoopi talks about a lot of people who don’t have families that stick by them. But his family never gave up on him. CD says it’s not only drug addicts who get forgotten, but other types of criminals. He spent almost 8 yrs in prison, including 2 yrs in solitary confinement [Yikes. He was placed there because another inmate broke his leg]. Sunny didn’t understand why someone with an addition would be put in solitary. CD says it was necessary at first, but then it became torture. Abby talks about him getting out, now he has a 2 yr old girl. Shows photo. CD talks about how his daughter is his life now. He loves his family but once he had a child, she’s a source of inspiration.

Whoopi covers Bill Taylor testimony. Plays clip. Blah di blah for GOP liars and apologists. The GOP can’t make up their mind if he did it and it was ok and perfect or if he did not do it at all even though he said he did do it. [head explodes] Abby says Bill Taylor is the best, of course he should be believed. He was called back from retirement to serve his country. His interest was serving America not TRE45ON. Worst player is Sondland, thinks he should come back [Yes because he committed perjury]. Meghan says this is a hot mess.
Whoopi says Taylor served under every president since Reagan, he’s not a partisan hack. Sunny says read his 15 pg opening remarks. He’s a career diplomat and TRE45ON is who brought him back. Taylor outlines the regular and irregular channels, with Rudy Colludy running the backchannel that TRE45ON knew about and is running a shadow government. People think T45 doesn’t understand, when really he’s running a shadow government on purpose. [Deep state claims, always projecting, it’s ~his deep state]. Whoopi says T45 didn’t even know these people (because he's working only with his cronies). Meghan says she’d love to spin but says it’s a smoking gun. Sunny thinks this is like an episode of Scandal. Meghan feel like it’s an alternate portal, it’s surreal like a tv show or movie, hard for her to see people she respected sell their soul to the devil.
