10:08 pm
interviews are patty cake they will not grow them on substantive policy positions that the actors themselves have taken it is not out of the blue but somebody asked harrison ford is serious question about his own personal 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 service to our presidents. >> and all mankind. together became and. john: dunne guess we can campaign.
10:09 pm
my book is titled "no they 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 you are worth $100 billion. john: you said that?

10:11 pm
anti-poverty programs by calling yourself a former? 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

[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. >> no. his entourage surrounded me and would not let me get up
10:13 pm
close. 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 ofofficers a and y guard and now redford will make a movie 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. more celebrity hy

10:20 pm
big houses. reason to be combined his video. >> i pledge to turn the lights off i would leave them on but i will turn them off. >> is the unaware of the hypocrisy? >> i just think he goes out on tour and has a carbon footprint of a third-world nation with the idea that that will make a difference even if you believe in the theory of man caused global warming it seems ludicrous. john: keystone pipeline some actors made a short film that makes it seem like the in the deal horror movie the family plays -- buys a new home. >> how beautiful? what is the catch? >> it is near the keystone pipeline.
10:21 pm
we need to leave. it will be okay. it will be okay. john: but this bad science is pushed in video by talented people. >> with you do something in a narrative form or a recognizable actress with a clever theme as you have said that looks like a horror movie and it is very effective. the people that flash the environmental agenda have a tremendous resource with celebrities who are willing to do this kind of video. john: americc's biggest environmental success is tracking for natural gas.

10:23 pm
actor about the hypocrisy but not one responded. hollywood makes millions selling stuff to us but at the same time they say they despise profit. >> it is a filthy word. >> reid. another word for
10:24 pm

10:28 pm
they may sneer at profit but they chase it and to turn to someone who was interviewed and mocking celebrities for years. kennedy the veejay from mtv what is the contradiction? >> old as turkey and is so annoying. they start to base their lives through the box office no industry is more competitive than the film industry and they have to make money so then they can make more money but yet somehow it is sturdy and filthy if you call me a capitalist i am okay with that. perfectly acceptable. john: let's play more of that panel with c-span. >> of falls st. and rich thought it was bad they would get rid of it babied large, half the country living in anxiety and fear

10:32 pm

10:39 pm
higher in hollywood pripet the self righteous hypocrites are testifying and demanding a plan from the government. you can do a plan in your own life if you don't want to have guns, nobody forces you but they are concerned with what other people do and take no responsibility for what they do themselves. john: for the record there is no evidence of violence and film leads to violence in real life there has been more in in films and video games but the real life it is dropping. >> it is true people contest the idea there is a relationship between violence on the screen in real life of more evidence of that association claus widespread gun ownership. >> after that psa there's someone read edited data commercial.

the biggest difference between the of libertarian rights to a and the crazy laughed is for those of us on the right, i do care about a bunch of issues so my plan is to pick up litter they care about what other people do. what is necessary as a message regarding gun violence is care about yourself and make the difference you can make faith and to compel other people to do what you want them to do. that desire is at the heart of the project to and i hate it. john: michael medved. thank you. let's play real or fake. we will test your knowledge of celebrity behavior for example of this actor has a compost the ball tennis

10:55 pm
>> 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
10:56 pm
government burden than those who really innovate like those to build a factory or nt apartment complex or jump through hoops to invent medicine. they collect a paycheck the agents handle details. i read an article about love line -- lifelong democrat rob schneider. he plays idiots in movies. he now has become a republican because he tried to run a business but california's regulation was so bad he moved out of california to changed political parties. trying to start a business will camera. -- woke him up. final label one more reason why hollywood is a leftist because acting is about connecting with people and emotionally.
10:57 pm
it is not about studying data from their coz coming entitlement bigger see is a math problem just arithmetic. i can see disaster but the emotional actor says you want to limit the promise to entitlement? you want to killed grand by and do a commercial to detect paul ryan to push her off the cliff. they often wind through the emotional appeal spinet they relate to their emotions but scientific explanation but that is all i got. you have got better idea? tell us what you think on facebook or twitter. but end with a sliver of good news for those who are libertarian or a conservative like clint eastwood and tom selleck and
10:58 pm
kevin sorbo. i am told kurt russell and i am not sure i met him once in newt gingrich office he is not a libertarian that may be kurt russell is? are you? then the of comedy star vince vaughnn but now he has a radio show and said this. >> i very supportive of ron paul. as you get older you have less trust of the government running anything like that the constitution the real purpose is to protect the individual rights. john: yes. he said too many rules lead to government corruption and other unintended consequences. he gets it. maybe there are more libertarians in hollywood in the closet. for if you don't march in step with the other liberals you may not get work as
10:59 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
