aren't they hypocrites? the wish somebody would confront them. it is horrible that you glamorized domestic terrorist. >> i speak for the entire world over. >> you cannot by eating more effective. >> i am not a doctor but i play one on tv. our show. tonight. john hollywood is undergoing mission creep not just to entertain us but fix the world. an actor can use his name, why not? it needs and fixing but the world office is more important. actors do public-service commercials. yasser arafat after he died richard gere did that get
9:02 pm
out the vote video that ray and in the west bank or palestine. >> i am richard gere and i speak for the entire world. john: the entire world? that seems pretty arrogant. he is a popular actor but what gives him the right to speak for the entire world? because they are portrayed as godlike. >> for centuries people have nowhere to turn, and tall he arrived to. >> as long as there were people crying for help there were those that would never rest. hercules. john: he is here actually it is the actor kevin sorbo who played "hercules" and pushes back against those in hollywood to say they know ho to fix world. do you have a problem with
9:03 pm
richard gere saying i speak for the entire world? >> he speaks for his own cause them that happens quite a bit. look at the actors that went crazy over bush with the war on iraq and the debut andy and then commercials but none of them speak out about benghazi that is a huge scandal in my book. john: they are dishonest and hypocritical. >> hypocritical rules the day in that town and we can all be guilt here and there but it is amazing the people that want to pushheir agenda just becaus they are a so-called super star. john: in hollywood they talk about power. >> but they don't have tolerance for anybody who disagrees also freedom of speech. they will push it until they die but if you disagree did not want to give it to you. lookup true independence i
9:04 pm
voted for reagan and clinton obviously the best pern running period but just to say i'm an independent makes lose work in the city. john: really? >> no question. it has come back to me trust me. i have spent on said i get tired of people's opinions i am not even a agree i just point out where my viewpoints are different than that is the death to get people to turn off they get a grn ian devotional. there is no fact only emotion. when i said i voted for reagan i was in canada they said you are sh an educated. >> i work with 12,000 kids the best after-school programin the state for inner-city kids 12,000 kids we have a 90 percent graduation rate.
9:05 pm
john: but because you vote a certain way? >> it is the indoctrination but i keep asking socialism? how does it work? >> in hollywood they don't carry about obamacare does not affect them. john: the biggest cause is saving the earth and climate change. here is a commercial done by harrison ford. >> when rainforest are slashed and burned their releases tons of carbon into the air we breathe. the changes our climate. it hurts. every bit of rain forest cut down over there really hurts us over here. john: what? waxing your chest hair and the of rain forests? it is a gimmick but i would not mind so much i would not
9:06 pm
mind if they were such a hypocrite but he owns seven airplanes. he admits he once flew the jet to get a cheeseburger. it makes you wish people would confront them. but this brings someone did. >> any other plans to get your chest waxed. are you still flying to get a cheeseburger? i guess you drive the honda odyssey. owning seven aircraft is it still seven? how do you recommend americans keep up with your carbon footprint? author of the best-seller hollywood hypocrites' author jason mattera. harrison ford may be a hypocrite but you are obnoxious you are reared. >> i learned from the best i've followed your career at 2020 defending people who
9:07 pm
were duplicitous. john: crooks and thieves this is just a poor actor. >> who has a lot of sway especially with young people unfortunately like better not young people take the cue from celebrities. being hip and cool means in favor of the conservationist policies that harrison ford got his chest waxed over but i don't care he owns seven airplanes. i would love to but do not cture me or the rest of us that we are on the press of this of karmic added while you have a sasquatch sized car ben for prep. that is what i confronted him. >> the press treats actors differently the paparazzi annoy them but reporters to question them. >>. bill: exclusivity the interviews are patty cake
9:08 pm
they will not grow them on substantive policy positions that the actors themselves have taken it is not out of the blue t somebody asked harrison ford is serious question about his own rsonal car been for a pram. we would have to walk around spraying aerosol cans all day long just to keep up with his carbon footprint. john: you are an independent voting for republicans and democrats but that makes him very unusual.@ overwhelmingly days of four liberal democrats and obama certainly and that led to another pledge. >> to be of service to barack obama. >> i pledged to be of rvice to our presidents. >> and all mankind. together became and. john: dunne guess we can campaign. my book is titled "no they
9:09 pm
can't." i have a problem they say yes we can meaning individuals but president and obama of the means government and that is a dangerous idea. and you are not allowed to say things like that in hollywood. >> not allowed to disagree with hollywood. it is mind-boggling that things that come out of people's mouths they pushing employers did everything they push for does not have the fact on them. i have called with the big names i say you can afford to be a socialist u are worth $100 billion. john: you said that? [laughter] to george clooney. >> he says raise taxes. >> to drive a toyota petraeus to the ms -- jemmies but they have a private airplane and i wish i had a private airplane. >> many advocate to rai taxes but well-connected
9:10 pm
celebrities are quick to use your tax dodges. >> owning acres of land in new jersey but pays only $100 of state property tax because he raises honeybees' he qualifies f the honeybee subsidy. bruce springsteen owns hundreds of acres of land but pays little tax because a an organic farmer works his land his pour neighbors pay more. >> i don't get anybody trying to lower taxes but bonn jovi and springsteen publicly supporting for obama holding rallies but then cry tax cuts for their riches and they robbed of poverty programs and a social contract with america being destroyed the middle-class is harmed but then you rob those anti-poverty programs by calling yourself a former?
9:11 pm
that is the hypocrisy that is frustrating to see why i wrote the book calling of these people on their duplicity. john: one final example some of the activists are so eager to promote anti- capitalist they glamorize people like bill ears -- bill ayers they killed people and bombed buildings and obama held a fund-raiser in bill ayers living room so robert redford came out with a movie based on the weather underground that the terrorists are on the run. >> we'd never be trade any of us all these years. >> i saw an interview with him about this movie he is behind it wanted to% it was the good thing.
9:12 pm
what kind of statement is that somebody that was blowing up buildings and hurtg hundreds of people? i don't know. it is so screwed up a and sad to see what is going on it is strange to me. john: he invited me to sundance and he did not talk to me when i was there. [laughter] but he was there. there is a sliver of the open debate. >> just a sliver. john: and made me wish somebody would confront robert redford about this gimmick is a deplorable you glamorized the weather underground as a domestic terrorist? will you make a movie about the boston bomber's next? john: he never responded. >>o. his entourage surrounded me andould not let me get up close.
9:13 pm
but this goes beyond hypocrisy it is a human decency factor. it is one thing to make a movie about the weather underground terrorist but another thing to romanticize it to make get a heartfelt. a bank robbery that resulted in the murder of two police officers a and a security guard and now redford will make a vie that is essentially one big tribute? it is remarkably deplorable even by hollywood standards. john: thank you jason and kevin. please go to facebook or twitter to keep the conversation going and use that #hollywood and let people know what you think. people know what you think. more celebrity hy so ally bank has a raise your rate cd

>> i pledged to be of service to barack obama. >> i pledge to be a servant to our president. john: they sure drink the kool-aid. but why do so many loved politicians to push bigger government? they are not all stupid? some are but part of it is always the tendency to support what their peers support and hollywood supports liberalism but why did it becomes a leftist? i have some theories. because so many actors are good-looking men -- maybe the became famous through a lucky audition or a lucky break for good looks so government must intervene to make life more fair. no? how about this. since actors work for others they half to do with those government burden than those
9:56 pm

9:59 pm
kevin sorbo said earlier. >> just to say i'm an independent is enough to lose working in the city. john: that is why just well established stars who are willing to speak up and performers like drew carey who now works for reason tv. >> we don't need garett centralized government to tell us what color to paint our house. john: but maybe the entertainers cannot comprehend. let's close that when they say government must act to protect privacy on the web? penn gillette said this beckett is not the governmentts business to protect your privacy from facebook. if facebook does things that people don't like everybody will leave facebook and a lot of business. all you need is free speech and free markets.
