[laughter] >>. >> to be a service to >> oh, yeah, vebs are eager. >> it's as if people have nowhere to turn. nowhere to look to for help. until he arrived. >> it is mind-boggling to me the things that come out of people's mouths. >>. >> some celebrities think socialism will fix everything. >> and more laws will stop gun violence like -- >> tucson. >> aurora. >> the same celebrities who for

months, aren't they hypocrites? i wish someone would confront hem. tonight we'll try. >> isn't it deplorable that you are glamourizing the underground of a bunch of domestic terrorists? >> i'm speaking for the entire world. >> you can't buy anything more effective. >> what makes these people experts? >> that's our show tonight. hollywood is undergoing mission creep. they don't just want to entertain us. many want to fix the world. i guess an actor can use his family. why not? the world needs fixing. box office is nice, but the world office is more important. so actors do so-called public service commercials. after yasser arafat died, richard gere did this get out

the vote video for an advocacy group that ran in gaza or the west bank or palestine as leftists call it. >> hi. i'm richard gere and i'm speaking for the entire world. >> he speaks for the entire world? seems pretty arrogant. he is an actor. a popular one, yes, but what go gives the actor the rate to speak for the entire world? maybe because they're often portrayed as god-like? >> for centuries the people have nowhere to turn no one to look to for help until he arrived. as long as there were people crying for help, there was one man who would never rest. hercules. >> he is here in our studio. actually, it's actor kevin sorbo who played hercules, as well as other roeltz and he is the unusual actor that pushes back against those in hollywood that say we actors know how to fick the world. you have a problem with gere

saying i speak for the entire world? >> i think he speaks for his own cause. i think that happens quite a bit when people come out and talk. you look at the actors that come out and went crazy over bush with the war in iraq and the wmd's that were supposedly supposed to be there but not there. the uproar was huge in commercials, but you don't see any of them speaking out about benghazi for instance? it's a huge scandal in my book. >> so they're dishonest, hypocritical. >> i think that rules the day, and i think we all can be, you know, guilty of being hypocrites here and there, but it's amazing to me the number of people that want to push their agenda on you just because they're so-called superstars. >> and in hollywood they're always talking about power. >> but they don't have tolerance for anybody that doesn't agree with them, and as the freedom of speech goes alwell. they they will push freedom of speech and cream for it until they die, but they don't want to give you the same freedom of speech. be open to it. i'm a true independent. i voted for reagan.

i voted for clinton. i vote for honestly who i think is the best person running period. i'm an independent in hollywood is enough to make me lose work within that city. >> really? >> oh, yeah. there's no question about it. they will -- >> how do you know? >> it's come back to me. trust me. it's come back to me. i have been on sets where i get tired of people's opinions and i just -- i don't get angry about it. i'll point out where i think my viewpoint will be different than theirs. that's enough to get people to shut off, turn off. they get angry. they'll get emotional. all they deal with is emotion. there's no facts that come along with it. when i came out and said i voted for reagan, i was up in canada, actually, with other actors. they said you're against education. i went what? what do you mean i'm against education? i have a school program called world fit for kids. i have the best after school program in the entire state. >> you and your wife started for inner city kids. >> 12,000 kids in a school district that has a 54% drop-out rate. we have a 90% graduation rate. >> that's because you vote a certain way.

>> it's the way -- there's an indoctrination where they think they have to be this way and that way. socialism, where has it ever worked? in hollywood they don't have to worry about boem care. they don't care. it doesn't affect them. >> probably the biggest cause in hollywood, saving the earth. climate change and all that. here's a commercial done by a very fine actor harrison ford. >> when rainforests get slashed and burned, it releases tons of carbon into the air we breathe. it changes our climate. it hurts. every bit of rainforest that gets ripped out over there really hurts us over here. >> what? waxing your chest hair and the rainforest? all right. it's a gimmick. everybody wants to preserve the rainforest. i wouldn't mind so much if these

actors weren't such hypocrites. harrison ford owns seven airplanes. not one, but seven. he admits he once flew his jet to get a cheeseburger. it makes me wish someone would confront actors about stuff like that. this spring someone did. >> i know you have plans to get your chest waxed again to bring awareness to climate hang? >> thanks for the question. >> you still fly to get a cheeseburger? i guess you are driving a honda odyssey. that absolves you. is it still seven, mr. ford? how do you recommend that americans keep up with your carbon footprint? >> asking those questions was jason matero author of the best seller hollywood hypocrites. >> jason harrison ford may be a hypocrite, but you are obnoxious. you are rude. >> oh, john i learned from the best. i followed your career at "20/20" confronting people who

were -- >> crooks and thieves? this is just a poor actor expressing his opinion. >> who has a lot of sway. especially with young people. unfortunately, whether you like it or not, young people take their cues from celebrities, and being hip and cool means being in favor of these conservationist policy that is harrison food got his chest waxed over. i don't care that he owns seven airplanes. i would love to own seven airplanes, but please do not lecture me, do not lecture the rest of us that we're on the pressapis of armageddon when you have a sass kwauch size carbon foot flint. that's why i confronted him. >> what you do no one comes close to getting. the press treats actors differently. >> the paparazzi annoy them but reporters don't question them much. >> they want the exclusiveivity the interviews are generally patty cake sessions.

they won't actually grill them on substantive policy positions that the actors themselves have taken. it's not like out of the blue. i would like someone to ask harrison ford a serious question about his own personal carbon foot print. you and i and kevin, we would have to walk around spraying aerosol cans in the air all day long just to keep up with his giant carbon foot print. >> we have to do more than that with seven jets. kevin, you are an independent, as you said before. you voted for republicans and democrats. that makes him very unusual in hollywood. overwhelmingly they support liberal democrats. president obama certainly. that led to another pledge. >> i pledge to be of service to barack obama. >> i pledge to be of service to our president. >> and all mankind. >> because together we can. >> that was part of the yes, we can campaign. i obviously have a problem with this since my book is titled no

they can't. it points out that yes, we can and we means individuals, but the president obama and hollywood, we seems to mean government, and that is a dangerous idea. kevin, you just are not allowed to say things like that. >> you're not allowed disagree with hollywood when it comes down to it. it is mind-boggling the things that come out of people's mouths and they push and push, and everything they push for doesn't have an affect on them per se. i have talked to some of the big names, and i have told them i said you can afford to be a socialist, you are worth $100 million. >> you said that to george clooney. >> georgegeorge cloo yeah, drive a prius to the emmys, but they have the private airplane. i don't begrudge people thash tha. i wish i had a private airplane. >> lots of celebrities advocate raising taxes on the rich to help the poor. yet, over the years i have noticed that well-connected

celebrities are quick to use obscure tax dodges and here are two examples. >> bon jovi who owns acres of land in new jersey, but pays only $100 in state property tax. because he raises honey bees to qualify for a honey bee subsidy. bruce springsteen owns hundreds of acres of land, but pays little tax on it because an organic farmer works his land. his poor neighbors pay more. >> i'm not against anyone trying to lower their tax burden, but if you are bon jovi and you are bruce springsteen and you have not only publicly supported president obama and campaigned for him and held rallies for him, but have decried tax cuts for the rich and have said, oh they're robbing the poverty programs and the social contract with america is being destroyed the middle class is harmed, and then you go and rob the very anti-poverty programs by calling yourself a farmer?

i mean, come on. that's the type of hypocrisy that is frustrating to see and why i wrote the book and are calling out these people on their duplicaty. >> one final example. some of the more activist left are so eager to promote anti-capitalists they even glamourize people like bill airs. his group, the weather underground, killed people and bombed buildings. years later president obama held a fundraiser in his living room. sure enough this year robert redford came out with a movie based on the weather underground. in this clip the terrorists are on the run. >> trying to clear his name. >> we never -- any of us over all these years. >> what are you willing to -- >> i saw an interview with him about this movie -- robert redford about this movie, and he is behind it 100%. he promoted it. he said it was a good thing. what kind of statement is that

saying? somebody that was blowing up buildings and potentially hurting millions -- hundreds of people and, it's screwed up. it's screwed up. it's sad to see what's going on. it's strange to me. >> i give him credit. he invites me to sun dance to talk about my books. he didn't talk to me when i was there, but he was there. you know a sliver of the open debate. >> they give you the sliver, but not the full boat. that's for sure. >> it did make me wish that somebody would confront robert redford about this. >> mr. redford, isn't it deplorable that you are glamourizing the weather underground, a bunch of domestic terrorists? are you going to make a movie about the boston bombers next? >> the boston bombers. redford never responded? >> no. his entourage surrounded me, and they wouldn't let me get up close, but i even -- i think this goes beyond hypocrisy.

there's just a human decency factor. it's one thing to make a m about the weather underground, but it's another thing in the word of "variety" to romantic size it and make it heart felt. we're talking about a bank robbery that resulted in the murder of two police officers and a security guard and now robert redford is going to go make a movie that is essentially one big tribute to this? it is -- it's remarkably deplorable, even by hollywood standards. >> jason thank you. >> kevin thank you. you would like to keep this conversation going, please go on facebook or twitter and use that _#hollywood to let people know what you think. i would like to know what you think. >> coming up, more celebrity hypocrisy. lebrity hy [ male announcer ] are your joints ready for action? osteo bi-flex® with joint shield™ nurtures and helps defend your joints° so you can keep doing what you love. what'd you guys do today? the usual! the usual!

are clueless. leonardo decaprio told a reporter he wants to take a long break from acting to fly around the world doing good for the environment. fly around the world? we just heard about harrison ford's seven airplanes. don't they get that one plane ride spews more carbon than 1,000 incandescent light bulbs. that's the title of james' book. what's going on here? >> look, hollywood has embraced environmentalism as a sort of a religion. they have their high priest, the nobel laureate the oscar winner al gore. you have to accept what he says with faith without reason, without logic. >> it does have the ring of a religion, and just some blindness to the facts. you mentioned al gore.

i was surprised to see him build these monster homes while preaching what he was preaching. >> the hypocrisy is monumental. i mean you have this 19000 square foot mansion in tennessee. a group was able to get ahold of his utilities and they were 20 times that of an average american. he also has a mansion in montecito near oprah's house. >> are any of them who call themselves environmental activists not hypocrites? do some of them live that life? >> ed bagley jr. is often mentioned. darrell hannah. they actually live a lifestyle consistent with what they preach, but, boy is that a rarity, john. i mean, the vast majority of celebrities take oppulence to the highest level. >> the rapper p. diddy made a video telling people turn your lights out but he owns a bunch of big houses. recent tv combined his video

with his houses. >> i say just turn the let's off because i used to leave the lights on. we want to conserve energy, so i'm turning the lights off. you turn the lights off. >> so you think he is unaware of the hypocrisy? >> boy, i just think he lives with it. this guy goes out on tour and has the carbon footprint of a third world nation. the whered that you know he is going to turn his lights out that that's going to make a difference even if you believe in the fury of man-caused global warming, it seems rather ludicrous. >> let's move on to something else, keystone pipeline. some actors made a short film in a makes the pipeline seem like the amitiville horror movie. a family buys a new home. >> you're going to love it. >> it's so beautiful. such a deal. >> what's the catch? >> the catch is that the home is near the keystone pipeline.

>> we need to leave. >> it's too late. >> it's going to be okay. it's going to be okay. [ scream ] >> what galls me is this bad science is pushed in video, and a lot of people see it by talented people. >> when you do something in a narrative form using somebody like wendy malik, a recognizable actress, and you do it with this clever theme, as you said, that looks like a horror movie it is very, very effective so the people that are pushing the environmental agenda have a tremendous resource with celebrities who are willing to do this kind of video. >> one final example of it. america's biggest recent environmental and economic success, i would say fracking for natural gas. fracturing has allowed power people to heat their homes for less, and it reduced america's

carbon output. many celebrities like john lennon's wife and son trash it. >> don't frack my mother. >> don't frack me. >> and when the celebrities speak, the crowd follows. >> oh they certainly do. they actually powerfully sway not only their followers, but others. when some celebrity like george clooney who recently spouted off on global warming says something, it goes global. non-celebrities can't get the word out quite effect tily, so they are a resource. they are a great power. snoo thank you james. by the way, ed bagley jr. told us he learned about conservation from his conservative father who taught him it was wrong to waste any resource. we reached out to every other celebrity that i'll mention on this show, asked them about their hypocrisy if they had a comment. not one responded to our

questions. coming up, hollywood makes millions selling stuff to us. at the same time many celebrities say they despise -- >> i say it's a filthy word. >> greed, that's another word for it. major: ok fitness class! here's our new trainer ensure active heart health. heart: i'm going to focus on the heart. i minimize my sodium and fat... gotta keep it lean and mean. pear: uh-oh. heart: i maximize good stuff like my potassium... and phytosterols, which may help lower cholesterol.

let's use the c-word here. we're talking about capitalism. >> capitalism it's the c-word. apparently it's a curse. that's the opinion of some vocal celebrities. hollywood does villify capitalism in movies. capitalists create killer viruses. they sacrifice people to aliens. they spread leukemia. capitalists chop down the last rainforest. capitalists poison people. yes, hollywood thrives because of capitalism. they may sneer at profit but they chase it. they try to understand what is

in their heads. let's turn to someone who is interviewed and mocked celebrities for years, kennedy, once a vee jay on mtv. what's with this? >> it's as old as dirt, and it's so annoying. movie stars base their lives on how their movies do at the box office. this competition. there is no industry more competitive than the film industry, and the films have to make money, and when you start -- they get points so they can make even more money. yet, somehow that is dirty and filthy. if you want to call me a c-word the capitalist that is perfectly acceptable. >> let's play a little more of michael moore's appearance on that panel on c-span. listen to his claim here. >> if wall street is in the rich thought poverty was bad, they would get rid of it. they need this large, large -- half the country, half the country, living in anxiety and fear. >> and the other half over here

are the ones that they'll sell their goods too. >> this is truly insane. not only does it make no sense, but the left also argues we have to have more hand-outs to the poor so they'll have money to buy stuff and that will help the whole economy. >> as long as the poor go to see their movies and buying their crap, they're fine. >> more examples. russell brand, a british actor, known in america for flicks like "forgetting sarah marshall" and "get him to the greek." he had his own tv show on the fx channel. it was canceled. now he is developing a new show for fx which is owned by fox. fox, what are you thinking? anyway, brand objects to capitalism. a bbc interviewer asked him what would you replace it with? >> that's what i'm asking. you talk vaguely about revolution. what is it? >> it's ogalitarian. based on heavy taxation and massive responsibility for energy companies and any company that's affecting the

environment. i think the concept is -- >> they get a little tiny bit of knowledge, and it becomes this watered down socialist drivel and he is, in a sense an attention whore. he is like the paris hilton of film. >> he wants a socialist ogali ta rian. >> it appeals to people when they're very young, and ideaistic and passionate and insane, which is what he is supposed to be but then when you grow up and pay taxes, people like russell brand no longer make sense. he is not a real person in entertainment, so he has to do things to get some kind of attention. >> russell brand is just a silly actor, but how about george lucas, a smart businessman who has made billions and helped create star wars and indiana jones. charlie rose asked him this. >> you are among people who know you a billionaire who is not that crazy about capitalism. >> that's true. >> tell me why. >> well i grew up in the 1960s.

i'm a very hardened paltot, but i'm also an ardent believer in democracy. not capitalist democracy. i do not believe that the rich should be able to buy the government. that's just the way i feel. >> do you think the rich -- >> been that way for a long time. >> and he has a point there. the rich people tend to make political campaigns a contribution. >> it's frustrating for a lot of people and a lot of voters. it's also unions. i mean, we live in a system that is paid for by the highest bidder. there's no doubt about that. he is one of the highest bidders. here's someone who has contributed thousands and thousands of dollars to democratic campaigns. >> they never get that the reason that the rich spend all this on government is not because you can -- the rich are evil or you could change their behavior. it's when government is that big, it's got $3 trillion to hand out. people will spend on it to try to influence it. >> and he sold his company. he is already worth $3.3

billion. he sold it for over $4 billion. that's a pretty tiny profit. that's a pretty shrewd capitalist. >> he trashes greed, and, yet, most of his money comes from this stuff the star wars paraphernalia that he sells and has gotten quite rich on. >> yeah. now chewbacca is his slave. he was shrewd when he made that deal for the action figures because he convinced fox back in the 1970s that, you know no one is going to buy action figures. boys don't buy dolls. of course, that's how he became a multimillionaire. >> more capitalists who doesn't like capitalism. thank you, kennedy. coming up, more celebrities pushing this time for gun control. >> demand a plan. right now. >> right now. >> demand it. >> so many of them. which ones are hypocrites. that's next. crites? next.

many people clean their dentures with toothpaste or plain water. and even though their dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher brighter denture everyday.

if we had just done something yesterday, it's time. >> we can do better than this. >> we can do better than this. >> after every horrible mass shooting celebrities push gun control. after the tragedy in newtown, connecticut, lots of celebrities taped an anti-gun commercial. they listed past shootings. >> columbine. >> virginia tech. >> tucson. >> aurora. >> forte hood. >> oak creek. >> newtown. >> newtown. >> newtown. >> how many more? >> how many more? >> how many more celebrities are going to testify on this commercial? makes we want to say -- >> enough, enough. >> enough. >> enough. >> the actors demand new gun control legislation. >> demand a plan. right now. >> right now. >> you, demand it. >> i think they're just foolish to believe that one more plan would make us safer, but nice

that they have a cause they believe in, except many are hypocrites as radio host and former hollywood screen writer michael. michael, why? >> well they're hypocrites because they could do something. i demand a plan, and the plan is reduce the level of gun violence in movies. in pg movies the levels of gun violence just since the year 2000 have gone up 300%. now, if you want to do something, do something about that. this is an industry in which so many of these people who are testifying are involved in lavishly violent entertainments like the big movie "the hunger games." right? >> the hunger games he thought was bows and arrows. now it's -- >> it's bows and arrows and everything else. the point is that the general levels of violence and specific levels of gun violence have never been higher in hollywood

and, yet, these self-righteous hypocrites are testifying, demanding a plan from the government. you can do a plan in your own life. if you don't want to have guns no one is forcing to you have guns, but they are concerned in a typical left wing fashion with what other people do and take no responsibility for what they do themselves. >> and for the record, there is no evidence, to my knowledge that the violence in films leads to violence in real life. there's been more violence in films and video games and violence in real life has been dropping. >> it's true that people can test the idea that there is an actual relationship between violence on screen and violence in real life. there is more evidence of that association than there is an association with widespread gun ownership and violence in real life. >> so after the celebrities anti-gun psa aired, someone reedited the commercial adding clips of what most of those actors have done in their films.

>> newtown. >> how many more classrooms? >> okay. i can understand why people like that. >> how many more movie theaters? >> here's one more video that seems hypocriteical to me. jim carrey calls people who make guns the devil's profiteers. ♪ who sell the guns are like vultures and coyotes. only the del's true devotees. the profiteer from pain and fear ♪ >> on twitter he said this video is about you heartless mother [ bleep ] unwilling to bend for the safety of our kids. >> which is unbelievable. you see, this goes to, it seems to me, the biggest difference between the libertarian right

and the crazy left is for those of us on the right, look, i do care about a bunch of issues. i care about the environment, so i plant trees and pick up litter, right? they care about what other people do. what is necessary, it seems to me, for americans regarding gun violence, and everything else, is care about yourself. make the difference that you can make rather than trying to compel other people to do what you want them to do. that desire to control other people that it's a very, very heart of the state of collectivism project and boy do i hate it. >> thank you, michael medved. >> thank you, john. next, let's play real or fake. we'll test your knowledge of celebrity behavior with our game show. for example, this actor promotes a compostable tennis shoe with seeds embedded in its tongue. real or fake?

now it's time to play real or fake. sometimes celebrities do things that are so bizarre that if you didn't see it or hear it you

wouldn't believe it was real, like harrison ford waxing his chest. to save the rainforest. can you separate the r celebrity behavior from stuff i made up? play the real or fake game along with tonight's libertarian panel. reason magazine's matt welch, special correspondent kennedy, and camille foster with free think media. first question, actor charlie sheen asked president obama to investigate whether 9/11 was instigated by george w. bush. real or fake? >> real. >> yes, he did that. he made a six-minute video about it. he said osama bin laden might have been working with the cia. next, bell gates offered $100,000 to the person who could invent a more pleasurable condom. three fakes. no, he did. he called it the next generation

condom challenge to improve uptake and regular use. >> uptake. great news. >> next one, actress evangeline lily to raise money for street kids auctioned off sexy underwear. real or fake? sfwroo no doubt about that, and yes, we have a picture of that. this didn't surprise you. >> that's just too random of a celebrity for that not to be real. next -- >> if you said whoopi gold burg. >> miley cyrus played strip poker to raise money for a children's music charity. kennedy got that one right. that's one that we made up here. >> come on now. >> it sounded so real, though, doesn't it? since president obama's limousine only gets 8 miles per gallon, ed bagley jr. started a petition campaign to get the

president to trade if his limo for an electric powered version. real or fake? >> sounds like a great idea. >> great idea. well, you were all wrong. this one is -- i made up too. so good at fooling you. next, mary tyler moore tried to pay a restaurant $1000 to free one of his lobsters. okay. yes, this really happened. >> you knew about it. your neck of the woods. a lobster named spike at a malibu restaurant. >> he was delicious by the way. >> actor adrian grenier has a website for composable tennis shoes. you think that's real? you are right. the sneaker has seeds embedded in their tongues so when they wear out, just bury them and watch the flowers bloom. what's wrong with that? >> no nothing.

that's a great private whered. >> everybody involved with entourage is noted for their intellect wrl. >> melissa milano made a fake sex tape to raise awareness for the conflict in syria. real or fake? >> no. cam ill, you got it. it's absolutely true. i think we can play some of it here. >> our nation is on the brink of yet another conflict in the middle east. america's greatest country. >> we're all thinking more about syria because of that. i certainly am. >> i'm being told in my ear we have accountants in a secret room that there was a tie. kennedy and cameel, you won. matt, you lose. i just wanted to add one last question. real or fake, the three of you

are about to have your own television show. on fox business here. >> real. >> yes it's called the independent, and it is going to be 60 minutes of greatness. >> well, it's great news. i'm so glad you're doing this show. we need more talk shows about liberty. it took me 20 years to understand its importance. but you are yogurt. how do you get it so quickly? matt you are the editor of a libertarian magazine but you went there because. >> but we got to see throughout the 1990's to existed in the shadow of central planning it is uniquely awful to see people liberated from that to create something new -- knew was an experience. >> i had to read hydrated penn gillette taught me the importance to talk. >> also i have a really great college professor who

gave me a copy of capitalism and freedom after the introduction alone i was hooked. john: by milton friedman. up next celebrities who do get a right. this tylenol arthritis lasts 8 hours but aleve can last 12 hours. and aleve is proven to work better on pain than tylenol arthritis. so why am i still thinking about this? how are ya? good. aleve. proven better on pain.

i pledge to be of service to barack obama. >> i pledge to be a servant to our president. >> we are the ones -- >> those celebrities drank the kool-aid. why do so many of them love politicians who push bigger government? how stupid are they? well, some are but not all. part of it is the lazy tendency of people to support what peers support. and hollywood supports libballism. why did hollywood become so leftist? i have some theories. it happened because so many actors are good looking and maybe they became famous through a lucky audition, so, good looks, lucky break they think most of life is about luck and so government must intervene to make life more fair. not buying it? how about this. since actors work for others, they really have to deal with the big government burdens and other people who really innovate. people who build a factory or an apartment complex or jump

through government's hoops to invent new medicine. actors collect a paycheck, they don't have to fight bureaucrats. their agents handle the details. recently read an article about life-long democrat rob schneider. he plays idiots in movies. >> deuce big low never got any respect. >> schneider has now become a republican, he says. the reasons he tried to run a business but california's regulation was so bad he moved out of california and changed political parties. trying to start a business woke him up. >> finally, one more reason why hollywood is so leftist acting is about connecting with people emotionally. and emotions is what labrallism is about. it's not a about studying data.

america's coming entitlement bankruptcy is a math problem. it's just arithmetic. i add the numbers up i can see disaster but the emotional actress says you want to limit our prom ised entitlement? you want to kill grandma and they do a commercial depicting paul ryan pushing grandma off a cliff. often they win through these emotional appeals. okay, i know saying actors are left just base they relate to emotions and are good-looking. it's not a scientific explanation but that's all i got. you got a better idea? tell us what you think on facebook or twitter. but let's end tonight's show with a sliver of good news. a few celebrities have revealed themselves to be libertarians or libber tearans/republicans. i'm told kurt russell is ribber
