america. election and election 2016. see you monday night right here at 7:00 p.m. eastern. good night from washington. bill o'reilly is up next. the royale factor ♪ welcome to "red eye." >> i am tom shillue. let's check in with andy levey. >> in the wake of the orlando mass -- masacre going to a club. tom sits down for an interview with george washington. he is the actor who plays george washington on the great amc series. that's still cool. >> pretty cool. let's welcome our guest. she has gotten herself on the wrong side of the law, the j

law, joanne nosuchunsky. he has more personality than the whole cast of "hamilton." comedian and actress stewart. is 7-11 always open? author and columnist and he is more hollywood than prescription drugs and vodka. rob long. let's start the show. >> in the wake of the orlando terror attacks, experts expect greater security measures at events. more dogs, metal detectors and searches. according to the "new york times" going to a concert or club will feel like going to the airport. one security expert said the paris attacks last november were a wake up call to the entertainment industry. and the editor of a concert magazine said the pulse nightclub shootings illustrate

how random and vulnerable we are in a society where guns are easy to get and soft targets are everywhere. and the stricter security measures cost money which of course moons higher prices for consumers. which, rob long, is not exactly what we are worried about, higher prices. we are worried about terrorism, death, et cetera. but it is all going to affect us. >> yeah, but i have -- i haven't walked to an office building in a longtime without showing my id. we went nuts after 9/11. i used to drive on to paramoint studios -- paramount and then after 9 will be 11 they are checking for bombs. anybody who wants to kill somebody on a studio lot they are already on a studio lot. >> i was crazy before 9/11, just to let you know jievment you were in l.a. and it was -- i remember that they had -- every parking lot had the mirror to go under your car.

>> i was lying on the floor under the car. dolly parton will have it at her concert. her boobs with the under wire, she can't get through to do her own kwan setter. to do her own concert sheevment is wearing a wonder bra and her boobs are going how do we get up here? >> what is the answer? >> we should. if it costs more money we should do it. who cares? >> we were so patient. do you remember going to the airport after 9/11 it was like, sure, search me. >> i have the answer. if you look at every mass shooting since 1950, the one thing in common is all but two occurred in a gun free zone. what we have done is created safe spaces for mass killers. >> that is a point i have heard. but the thing is no one seems to absorb these lessons.

we have the same fight. then after these terrible acts occur, people just retreat to their corners and stacey, i told you so -- -- and stacey, i told you so. >> everyone wants to ban assault rifles even though knives kill five times as many people. >> this is so depressing. knives kill more people? >> when something terrible happens celebrities want to volunteer. we should have celebrities at the gates to pat you down. i am going for george clooney and brad pitt. >> cavity search. >> joanne, are we a little -- do we overreact and are we too scared? >> yeah, i do think that there is definitely a window of time where there is is that sort of over precaution that people take. people are going to go out and people are going to get the season tickets to baseball games or whatever other

sporting event has season tickets. people will go to concerts. what i do think is a good thing to take a positive angle. that's opposed to the depressing. i think we are a you -- we are all more vigilant. we are more aware of suspicious behavior. we are thinking escape routes. living in new york city we are more paranoid and more conscious of red flags where maybe we would have ignored them. >> i was like that at the airport. i had to get a later flight because i left my computer in security. i am not kidding. i was looking around going what is going? >> i left it there like a crazy person. i was running around, where is my laptop? >> it was a suspicious pack chem. package. >> we interviewed this guy -- the fbi interviewed this guy and didn't profile him hard enough. he pulled him aside and we already know the tsa --

whenever they do tests, it is something like 80% of things people sneak into the airport. >> the problem is it doesn't stop anything. maybe it is another scary gun pointed at another dude with a scary gun. >> wherever the security is where the terrorists stop going. they do heightened security at the concerts they will no go there. they always go to the soft target unfortunately. >> moving on, one of the criticisms of donald trump says he is not on tv enough. that could change in the coming year. the new york billionaire is reportedly considering launching his own tv network. >> trump's rational is win or lose we are on to something here. they haven't had a voice in a longtime. trump's interest in having his own network grew out of his frustration over his ability to create revenue for other media organizations without being able to take a cut

himself. trump's spokesperson has denied the rumors. but i really think it is gonna happen. "red eye" has a source close to negotiation and we actually got a look at the prime time lineup on trump tv. we have dancing with the trump and project trump way and 16 and trump, csi and ncis and law and order. these all sound great. it is always trump in philadelphia. star trek the trump generation. and charlie rose. >> it will be a balanced network with different view points. >> with the best people. >> it will be more white people, white, white, white, all the time. it will be great! >> i could be cast in that. >> he is very popular with -- >> with who? please. >> have i been listen -- i have been listening to the speeches. there is my black person in the audience! >> and herman cane.

>> you don't have time to list them all. >> you have to start slow. what do you think -- this is the kind of thing that is happening all week. we heard trump is not in it. he is just doing this for another reason. >> we were hearing it for 20 minutes after he declared he was running for president. he is getting out right now. he does not have enough money to start the network. we know he is cash poor. he is not as rich as he says he is. he should do like judge judy or oprah, an afternoon talk show. i'm serious, he would kill an afternoon talk show. it would be the thing and people would watch it. i would put it on 5:00 to 6:00 or 6:00 to 7:00 against the national news and he would kill. one hour of crazy trump. >> i don't think people realize how much money judy -- >> $80 million a year. >> it is the syndicated tv stars that make the most money. >> i bet oprah winfrey is

multiples richer than donald trump. she has more money in the bank and mor money liquid and is a richer person than donald trump at this minute. one hour daytime talk show, and this guy would clean up. >> but he won't make america great again. >> true. the only way he can have the network is if loses in november, but he said he will win in november and he has never been wrong before. >> he should have a psychic network at that point. >> what do you think? i think it is hooey. >> i think we should let the market decide. he gets ratings. that's what they are thinking. if the ratings don't translate into votes he should start his own network. i for one would like to see the game show network revamped and have him host everyone and then i would be on board. >> is it all repeats?

>> no, and now they are re-doing match game. >> are they really doing match game again? >> i have to go back on it. >> you have to get on it. >> that's when i knew i was gay. >> boring! >> that's a lot of gay in one show. >> it was so gay and so out we can redecorate the room by looking at it. >> moving on. poe -- pokemon has a new young goose. people on the internet say the character bears a resemblance to a certain presumptive gop nominee. some guy tweeted this side by side. take a look. now i see it a little bit. here is another tweet. that's definitely donald trump. and i did some digging. there are other pokemon

characters that look like candidate. you can see this looks like bernie sanders. he's like a palapussian. >> never say that again. >> every person looks like an animal will we all have animal characteristics. if are you searching through google stock images you can find photos of any celebrity to look like anything. kudos to the people who wasted hours of their lives looking for the perfect match. >> trump loves this stuff. it is the trump haters that post this. it shows the power of his personality. >> who wouldn't want to a japanese animater? you are a celebrity forever. now dragon ball z will have a trump. do they have a dragon ball z? >> i don't know what that is. it sound like a party drug.

>> the year is 2016 and i don't know where you are. >> i think dragon ball z, pokeman. >> taylor moon. let's talk about mars. >> oh god i can't wait to go. >> really if. >> matt damon will be there. >> maybe it is because of this. look i am going to mars, who is coming with me? it takes eight months to get there and there is nothing to do but kick red dust, but you are only doing that because you haven't seen the gorgeous government propaganda. they have promoted the mission for 2006. each poster highlights something new and exciting about the red planet. here is one promising the opportunity for exploration. this one remind you of your patriotic duty. this one invites you to explore the insides of an alien tenticle monster. and this reminds you that the limited atmosphere won't

protect you from a solar flare and you are cooked alive by radiation. >> that's not encouraging me to sign up, but i like the realism giant why do you think -- real itch. >> why does -- realism. >> they are not building rockets. they have to do something. they are on the dime and on the clock. the weird thing is how retro they look. >> i want pictures of scientific equipment that seems like it is up-to-date. >> if i go to mars i want him holding an iphone and not the astronaut thing from the flinstones. >> it looked like a diving bell jievment why did they try to push this mars on us? >> my first thought is it takes 40 years to get to mars? >> what if you have a bad roommate?

>> it works better -- >> matt damon, was he alone? >> he had a group of people. >> they left him there. >> they left him there and he was running around and that's my fear. wait for me! wait! i am worried they won't have netflix and i haven't watched "grace and franky." >> they can beam up netflix. >> it is jane and lily. have i to watch it. >> didn't matt damon make it seem fun. >> well matt damon is fun, fun and more fun. >> why do gay guys love matt damon? >> he is hot and he had sex with ben affleck. >> that's in your mind. >> everything is in my mind. i am not even here. >> i don't get what is hot about matt damon. give me a break. he is a handsome man. >> he is no james mcivoy.

>> i don't know what -- you are a straight guy like me. you can't tell, right? i don't even see guys -- i look out and see joanne and three outlines of a human body. >> i am not even that gay. i am only gay on the weekend. friday night i am gay and by the time sunday comes i am so exhausted i have to lie down. it is hard to be gay every day. >> you haven't jumped in on the conversation. >> i am too straight for this conversation. >> can i talk about mars? >> what happened? >> it is the matt damon effect. >> we are talking gay stuff. >> why do you thepg nasa -- think nasa wants us to go to mars? >> speaking of not including women in these ads, they are showing astronauts working and they said technician. women can't do that stuff. they need to say you are

weightless and gravity won't cause wrinkles and then women would be on board. the thing people are forgetting is there is no return trip. they said if you are going to mars you're there. you're done. they want it to happen soon, but you won't be coming back. >> can i call my mother? >> the way you have to dress is not appealing to western women. essentially a spacesuit is a space burka. you have to wear it all the time. if you take it off there is not some punishment, but you fry or freeze to death. in the atmosphere. >> are we going to have to go -- i don't see -- i don't think there is any reason to colonize another planet and we live in a bubble when we have earth. >> i don't think these are actually targeted at you. they like you here.

>> the thing is you have rich guys and you have scientists saying at some point we have to think about colonizing other planets. >> we did a great job colonizing this planet so why not a franchise to mars? >> it just works. >> elon muck will figure it out. >> why does it disturb you? >> i don't want to go to other planets. >> nobody will force you. jessica chastain shouldn't go and matt damon shouldn't go. we should stay here. remember gathering around the fireplace to watch walter con kite? out with the old and in with the new. i'll explain after break.

they brought this on themselves.

now it's war, and i want them dead! the fleas and ticks? their whole gang. we can do that. only bravecto kills fleas & ticks for up to 12 weeks with one tasty chew. starts killing fleas in two hours and kills nearly 100% in under twelve. and it's fda approved. bravecto is for dogs 6 months of age or older. don't worry, princess, we'll settle the score. tonight we ride, with bravecto!! ask your vet about 12-week protection with bravecto.

live from america's news headquarters, i'm patricia stark. a wildfire in santa barbara tripled in size as it roared down toward the coast. the so-called s hirpa wildfire consuming nine square miles of brush and closing a major coastal highway for a second straight night. it is 20% contained. firefighters in utah say they are making progress battling three wildfire. all three sparked by lightning. disney will install new signs and barriers on the disney resort beaches. this is in the wake of a gator attack that killed a toddler. the new signs will warn guests of gators and snakes and tell them to stay away from the water. previous signs said not to swim in the water. earlier this week an alligator dragged a 2-year-old into the lagoon and divers recovered his body the next afternoon. hundreds of friend and fans

lining up in new jersey to attend a memorial service for "the voice" singer christina grimmie. she lived there prior to moving to los angeles in 2012. the 22-year-old was shot to death signing autographs following a show in orlando. the gunman killed himself after being tackled by grimmie's brother. the so-called black boxes that crashed merely a month ago are extensively damaged. oneish if said the flight recorders are too banged up to be analyzed and they will be september to -- sent to another country for repairs. they helped learn to what caused it to crash on may 19th. all 66 people on the flight were killed. >> they uphold their ban on russia's track and field federation for doping. that means russian athletes will not be allowed to compete in the rio summer olympics that start in seven weeks. they can appeal to the national committee. now back to your favorite show of the night "red eye."

because i have such a diverse media diet i was reading the san diego "union union tribune" and the headline grabbed me. we are constructing our own intellectual ghettos, it said. why would we do that? it contrasted two news consumers one watches rachel maddow and the other prefers stewart barney. in a simpler time we might have gathered at a common television hearth to watch walter kronkite delivering the news. of course the mainstream media would like to return to that time where they would consume whatever they are dishing out. that time is gone and good rid rid -- riddance. america dined on him nightly and they had no choice. now we do.

what they call ghettos i call gated communities where i can keep out the rif-raf. they are really punks from the left side of town. rob? >> tough guy. i read the "new york times," but i don't want it on my doorstep every day. >> with your children, my god. they may see something in there. it is true. in a way it is too bad. the left wing bias in the media is responsible for the fact that nobody read it or pays attention. in the old day reporter -- they were reporters and not even journalists. they were cynical and believed everybody was lying and you trusted them because they didn't have an ax to grind. then people have an ax to grind and people want to read their own stuff. there is this perception that it is divided down the middle. you have the left wing and the right wing. >> it is insanely left wing.

people are repeating fox news. there is "new york times" and fog news and "washington post" and fog news. so it is a three-card monty. the truth is if they were more honest and more direct and a little more respectful to the american people and their attitude, they wouldn't be writing -- they write articles because they want to convince you or teach you rather than tell you what happened. >> i don't want to be taught. >> i don't want to be taught either. the thing i don't like about the article is who ever wrote it says we have less media choices. even today fox is the only place wea are a center right -- we are a center right point of view. there is a lot of diversity on this show. >> really? >> whatever, keep going. you can cut that out if you want to.

>> we have a diversity of opinion here. what is the answer to this? do you think we should try to change it? i think it is good. >> what we need is to bring diversity to the college campuses. that's where they are supposed to be and it is completely the opposite. i went to watch them speak and it was like in an internet comment section. they wouldn't let the guy speak. campus reform is instrumental. that's how we are shaping the future mind. >> what happened to the liberal mind wanted to hear all ideas? >> i am in "a birth of a nation." i play a plantation owner in 1831. you go back that far and everyone is a slave. i believe things should have all different kinds of opinions and i like the idea that all of the networks do different things. i don't think they are all the same. cnn is different from msnbc and fog and i don't know

what is going on in the network but someone will get killed or shot in the head. >> something terrible happened. watch it. >> you remember walter kronkite. i liked watching him as a kid. i trusted the news people then, but i don't now. >> he was biased, don't you think? >> that was a different time. today people are basing their own identitieses off what media they are consuming. it is all identity politic. even having a conversation with someone else who watches different shows from you, it is not an a debate. it is an attack and a challenged. unfortunately simpler times you can have conversations that are not possible. that's a good point. notice how we react eld to what happened in or -- reacted to what happened in orlando. your news feed tells you how to react and that's creepy.

>> we have to go and we will be back with tv's andy levey. and the "red eye" pod cast is back. subscribe on fox foxnewsradio.com.

welcome back. time to find out what we really miss. andy? >> tom. >> heightened security at clubs.

you notice you haven't gone into an office building without going through metal detectors. >> nice small talk with andy too. >> how are you doing? >> i'm andy. sorry. >> i was going to say what you said is true. i guess you say it is true. i do think that security will be loosened and that's or it was loosened. for awhile they will put up with higher levels of security and after awhile we will get annoyed and they will pull back. >> it is true because you say it is true. how does that feel? >> you said with the issue of guns. >> there were all of these

articles about the ar15 and then it came out that orlando, the masacre there was not done with an ar15. but instead of everyone pulling back and what difference does it make if.. >> it is the hillary defense. >> i'm comfortable with either. jump in. >> i like hillary. >> for a gay person it takes a village people. >> wait a minute. you're gay? >> oh rob, rob, rob. >> trump may launch his new network. the good thing is programming combine start on november 9th. he's gonna lose of. >> thank god. >> you said a trump spokesperson denied the tv network.

>> did you read the "vanity fair" pic? "vanity fair" said she had a subsequent statement saying while it is true that mr. trump garners high ratings there were no plans or discussions taking place regarding the adventure of this nature. it is the same thing except they had to add while it is true that he gets high rankings. >> that's the way trump would have been. >> the answer should be we got -- >> rob, you said the west thing for trump to do is just to have an afternoon talk show. >> would it be guests or just him talking? >> he would have guests and just him talking. >> like glen beck would be.

>> kind of like glen beck. >> he will put them in his seat and torture them. he put them in the hotseat and he would yell at them and then people would come on. >> he was on between commercials. >> you also said you would bet oprah is worth more than trump. according to forbes she is worth 4.2 billion and he is worth 5 billion. >> when you're up there. >> i am still surprised that something i basically made up on the spot and pulled out of the air turns out to be not so great. >> it was 100% wrong. >> wait, wait. i think oprah has -- >> are you focusing on the quan day tiff thing. >> i think oprah has money under her seat. >> she has a million or two under her seat. >> pocket change. >> talking about pocket

change. every person does look like an animal. i believe you have your animal match. >> thank goodness. >> i probably just freaked out the control room. >> i somehow knew i was talking about something sensitive. >> nasa's mars posters. you asked why mars needs promotion. needs women. >> our line producer got it. that's who i make my jokes for. matt, you said it takes four years to get to mars. it is as little as six or seven months depending on the alignment. >> i once got back surgery so

i literally stand corrected. >> here i typed discussion has turned from mars to being gay. >> that was me. i'm sorry. >> that's your dream journal. >> i am trying my best. >> thank you. >> while you may be weightless on the trip tomorrow you wouldn't be weightless on mars. >> what? >> what? i revoke my submission. >> honey, eat a sand whip. please. >> and then i will throw it up. >> for instance picking a number randomly, 150-pound person would weigh 57 pound on mars. >> well, that's still a nice reduction. >> and also know you wouldn't look any different. >> i wouldn't?

where is there no gravity? >> you wouldn't look different. >> wouldn't i look like -- >> you would look exactly like that moments before your death from the president busher and -- from the pressure and the compression. in a suit you would look -- if you had a suit it would be so big. i would look fat and wouldn't wear it. >> intellectual ghettos of media. you said you read the "new york times" but you don't want it on your doorstep every day or your daughter marying. lastly they write articles to teach you of your point of view. i don't think anybody writes to convince anybody of anything. the vast majority lecturing people and yelling at them. that's a great loss. >> i will let that stand. i think that was eloquently put. >> thank you, andy. >> time to take a break. when we come back, ian and alec zhan customer rose from amc's "turn." join me in the studio.

this is a fox news alert.

i'm patricia stark. terror raids in brussels will police say they arrested 12 people during an anti-terror swoop across the country. the raids conducted on friday and saturday. 40 homes were searched and 40 people questioned in the raids will orlando is preparing for dozens of funerals for the 49 victims of the shooting masacre in orlando. some services are starting on thursday with thousands showing up in attendance. nearly 50 florists from around the u.s. have been sending flowers for free for the orlando services. democrats renewing calls in the attack to end a ban of blood donations from gay and bi-6ule men. as of now they have banned donations from those sexually active in the last year. now they ask for a change on the policy and the white house has yet to comment on the debate. germany sentencing a former guard to five years in

prison. he was sentenced to bowing an accessory to murder of 170,000 people who died at the death camp. right now the former guard is free on appeal. oakland, california is without a police chief again. the city has gone through three police chiefs in the past eight days. the latest stepping down because of a scandal. alleging a number of officers having sex with a teen prostitute. she will not appoint another chief and the department will report to a city administrator. sandwiches served up on a new jersey highway. a meat truck and bread truck crashed and con -- con assistants spilling into the road. rather than enjoying highway hoggies, the road crews cleaned up the mess. now back to your favorite late night snack that is no accident, "red eye."

are you watching "washington spies" on amc? >> between the thieving and the cheating. robert rogers has been using the town's secret to blackmail folks. >> i brought my sister. i don't know rogers. have i never seen the man. i believe you. i'm afraid you must serve as a warning to those guilty of harboring an outlaw. >> that is the evil captain simcoe on one of the best shows on television. alexander rose is the author of the book on which "turn" is

based. and he plays general george washington in the series. i love the show. alexander that was captain simcoe, my favorite villain. he is a real character like almost all of them they are historical characters. was he this evil? >> in a word, no. he was a relatively nice and pleasant gentleman who went off to run canada after the war. he was a very nice man. but we had to turn somebody into a villain. every show had to have a black cat and he pulled that short straw. >> and he does it so well. for some reason he is evil, but i like the character so much. i don't want to spoil any scenes, but he is up against death a lot of times. i am always hoping he survives. eye yen you play general -- ian, you play general george washington. when george washington enters

a tent, it is like the air comes out of the room. he has gravitos. how do you play that? >> i don't think you play that. you let everybody else play that and everybody makes the king because the king or in this case the general, it is really everyone else's reaction to the man that helps bring that, but also one of the things about washington is he had calm and quiet and he was under terrible circumstances and against terrible odds. every choice was thoughtful and mindful. i try to bring a mindfulness to the moment. >> high doesn't lose it very often. w4r he does it is quiet. you can see what happens when they let him down. >> one of his tricks that he had is he used to speak quietly.

like in a room, if everyone is speaking quietly, then everyone has to come in and hear what he has to say that pup more powerfully. he was keen of of understanding the optics of situations and how things looked. he wanted to be the figure head. that's one the things about the man. be the figure head, but not take control of everything in the process. >> once you start watching this you are sucked in. tell everybody what it was. >> george washington operated it in new york and long island. it was the duration of the war. they were four or five or six agents. all of whom were childhood friend. >> it is all long island, right? >> 99% of it is long island and new york. they could all trust each other because they grew up with each other. they are from more or less the same little town, little

village . they held together and they were very loyal to washington and they looked upon washington as a father figure and as -- sort of a confesser and a summoner. he chided them on occasion. >> and they risked his life. >> for no money. >> we will come back and talk about that and some other his storal -- historical stuff. back after this.

benedict arnold and hamilton in the same scene. >> your excellence see welcome. >> mrs. arnold, a blessing on your household. >> thank you your excellence see. >> i believe you are acquainted with major townage. >> my heart felt congratulations. sir, let me introduce colonel alexander hamilton who is not with us. >> to my tremendous regret.

>> the beauty 1 peggy shippen and then peggy shippen arnold. she was from a loyalist family. she has great influence on ben benedict arnold. do you think she had that influence in real life? >> i think she did. i mean they were a closely married couple. they were together for a very longtime. who knows the secrets of the heart. but she clearly -- i mean she clearly wasn't some sort of wall flower or something. like many marriages they were a a -- they were co-equals. they winded their way through life including a couple of rather traumatic -- -- -- >> yes and there are a lot of scenes between washington and benedict arnold. they have a great respect for each other, but obviously arnold is on the fence throughout this whole series. i have more understanding of

benedict arnold. there were debts. he was owed money. he was up on a court -- court martial. did he get a fair shake from washington and the continental army? >> yeah, i think he did. what is surprising to understand and for me to learn is benedict arnold was not a villain from day one. growing up in mark the worst thing you could be called growing up is a benedict arnold. he is the bad guy and washington is the good guy. what i didn't understand is like he is the tom brady and went from the patriots to the buffer low bills or the giants. he was the best general and he was the -- you know he was the best leader on the ball field and he said i am going the other way here. did he have reason to turn? yeah he had reason to do it. he turned and he got caught and he lost.

>> we are seeing a lot of the loyalist lives. their lives are on the line as well. i grew up in boston on the freedom trail. and it was always about the people -- the early americans but there were so many who chose the loyalist side. >> there has always been a tradition of casting the loyalists as these malevolent and those who chose the evil side. they had perfectly legitimate reasons to join the british side. he was a king and he had authority. from their perspective the guys in new england were hotheads leaving everybody astray until they come back to the mother country. there are many factions. >> it is all there and i love the show and i hope everybody

watches it. tune in and watch it from the beginning. thank you to all of my guests. see you next time. it's

chris wallace. >> dissent inside the state department as dozens of u.s. diplomats call on president obama to attack the regime of syrian president assad. this is "special report." good evening, welcome to washington, i'm chris wallace in for bret baier. diplomacy isn't working, that's what more than 50 u.s. diplomats say, about president obama's syria policy. the extraordinary dissent filed by career state department officials reveals a stark internal divide over the president's handoff approach to the bloody civil war in syria that's killed more than 400,000
