he was dangerous, to me and when i was making deliverance i was always a little bit afraid that if i had to get in the car with him because he was a stuntman, you know, and he always took us right to the edge and in some way his life was like that but he was a wonderful guide to be around. such a such a joy. he was a true artist in every way, you have the greatest love for your craft, for your fellow peers, and you and i had a wonderful relationship, we had the greatest times, very good talks, and working to miss your handsome face around, and i know you're with your buddies come here with sammy davis, you're with

donald eloise, all these great guys, johnny carson and keep an eye on all the lovely ladies in heaven, will you, god bless you, rest in peace kid. >> any story or story. >> oya, we were talking about this word, pantheon, the gods of our industry, he was one of those guys in the figure that you put out there is the bandit. no one ever created a character quite like that. we all fell in love with the bandit and he was a lot like that guy. he was always teasing me, what we were doing deliverance, i'll tell this one little story, we're going into areas not a human being had walked for a long time and getting to our canoe sometimes we would
7:03 pm
go down clips and getting there early in the morning, the whole crew and i remember one morning we were going down the cliff face on a rope, about 35 feet or something like that and they were dropping the camera down this area, and i looked up and then i see four chairs being dropped down for the actors. so all of this virility when out the window. there gonna take care of us like hollywood. we were sitting on rocks and stuff like that by the river with our feet in the water and yet we had these chairs. hollywood was still there. anyway, they put the chairs up, no one sat in them except bert. bert sat in my chair and he sat there couple days in a row
7:04 pm
and it became for and i thought what the heck is he doing and i was saying to myself what are you upset about john, this chairs for anybody. were sitting here on rocks, we don't need the chairs, and i went through all this stuff, i couldn't figure out what he was doing. finally, after ten days i said him bert my can i ask you a question and he said, sitting in my chair, why of course john, what is it? i said we've been here, we don't need anything more in the woods, were having this adventure and yet the chairs, and you sit in my chair and every day you've done it for ten days and he said yeah, and i said why? he said well john, it's quite simple, when i sit in your chair, i can see my name on my
7:05 pm
chair and he was waiting ten days me to it bring that up. he had that joke in his pocket. he was such a delight. >> did you keep up with them. >> yes, we were close. i called him every month or so. >> let me ask you a question. i don't know people know this, but i've noticed you have quite an affinity toward the state of israel. it's almost central to your life. why is that? >> well, this story has a beginning. my father was a golf professional in scarsdale new york. he had three boys. they were one your part. the reason why he had this job at sunnydale country club was because, they came to this country wanted to play golf, wanted to join one of the clubs and weren't allowed in the clubs.
7:06 pm
they didn't complain, they went around raising money to buy land and they built the club and because of their ingenuity and their flexibility and vision, my dad had this job so i knew at a very early age the insanity of anti-semitism. i remember in the 40s around 1938, i remember seeing a life magazine picture of a little boy behind barbed wire and identify with that boy and i said that could be me. what are they doing to these people, and that stayed with me all my life so i felt a real risk bounce ability to stand up against anti-semitism, and in that
7:07 pm
journey i've gotten very close to the jewish people. now there's another aspect to it. that is my father. my father was a very poor boy, he was eight years old when he caddy that this country club and he was a very cute kid. he had white blonde hair, they used to call him whitey, and he would tell the story, he's a charming man, my dad would tell us the story. he would caddy at eight years old and he was making more money than his dad was, taking care of his family and three siblings, and at the 16th hole, he would say you know, and he had this wonderful way, he was a good actor my dad come in some ways, although if you put a camera on him he
7:08 pm
became nervous and did other things, but he had this way of being. he said, this little boy on the 16th hole would say you know it's my birthday today. oh whitey, is it, and then they would reach in their pocket at the end of the day and give him an little extra money. this was important to him. one day he said that it's my birthday today and the man said to him whitey, wasn't your birthday three weeks ago? so he was caught, but they didn't care. they understood what he was doing and even admired him for a little kid. they kind of embraced this young man and they taught him many things. i realize that my father had been, he was instructing some
7:09 pm
of the else and i found out some of the things he was given through this membership to the club they would give him words to say. at the beginning of the day his three words whitey and at the end of the day i want you to come back and put them in a sentence, just improving his vocabulary. >> how old? >> eight, nine, ten, 11, all the way out. he was fascinated with the club. they told him how to behave at the table, manners and things like that. i realized as i got older that was pretty interesting and it occurred to me when i was 14 i kind of had an epiphany, my father as i had said, he was an extraordinary fella, very charming, very poised, full of fun, loved children, was a great father, great storyteller and a very
7:10 pm
principled guy two. he had very strong morals, but never rigid. playful but strong when he needed to be. everybody admired this guy. when he was 16, this membership made him a pro at the club. when he was 18 they made him the head pro of the country club, a position which he held to his passing when he was 63 years old. it occurred to me when i was 14 i said you know something, i compared him to his siblings, two sisters and a brother, they were nothing like him. he was so superior in every way. they were nice people, but they just didn't have the same qualities he had in the grace that he had and i said to
7:11 pm
myself my dad was raised in the jewish culture. that's who he is. >> and this has since stuck with you. >> it's very moving when i talk about it and so this idea , it stayed with me, and my friends have been extraordinary jewish people alter my life, and then i went through a crisis at a certain time in my life and i was raised catholic and i have great regard for the catholic church and what it gave me and the teachings in the schools that they have today are very good in the hospitals and all of this, great people so i have great regard for the catholic church. mother teresa is one of my
7:12 pm
heroes but i did a lot of investigating and i came to understand much of the jewish history come there's a wonderful book by paul johnson, history of the jews, it's a great book. >> you have tears in your eyes. >> well, i think righteousness brings emotion out of me. i think people who seek truth are those who i would seek to follow. but, anyway, there's so many great people but i looked at this history of the jewish people and at one point they
7:13 pm
make commentary on this bible that they have. [inaudible] this fellow came along and he talked of songs and he said you simply need to be happy in your work, follow this and behave in a certain way and here are some songs to remind you of the truth and things. so that's why i came to the jewish faith and began a legacy that wound up in my backyard in california and i have made friends with these fellows and they are a fun
7:14 pm
group, really lots of fun and they help people and i've danced on their telethon and became quite a deal. anyway, that's my story. >> it's very fascinating, and it explains why you go to israel and why you do what you do. when we come back john, i want to ask you another question. you used to be a liberal. >> how did you find that out. >> oh yes, i found that out and then you became a conservative. i want to be know how you became one and then how you became another. ladies and gentlemen, don't forget you can watch me each week see rtv/mark, sign up and join us or give us a call at 844 live-in tv. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ your typical bank. capital one is anything but typical.

7:19 pm
in the 60s, just out of schoo school. think of the mantra, drugs and rock 'n' roll. what a recipe for chaos. it was a really destructive time in a lot of ways. all of this energy from the youth, i believe there are forces at work at that time now or from the left, karl marx, communism, progressivism , socialism, these forces are related that decade, taking advantage and with the
7:20 pm
assassination of john f. kennedy, the country was in trauma. at the end in 1968 we had the death of bobby kennedy and martin luther king. great people that we cared a great deal for so, in that time there were people, the vietnam war erupted in that time and there were many folks again thought war that were charismatic people, people from our industry, and as i was auditioning to get into this industry in working hard to become an actor i fell in with that group of people and i was swept away with the propaganda. one of the pieces of propaganda that i bought at that time, and when you are involved in propaganda emma have to say, there are no doors out of it in a certain
7:21 pm
sense because your friends are there and this and that you make associations and you pass these soundbites back and forth so i understand what's going on in hollywood today. i understand it. i was right there, and those people are focused on their work too. they're just trying to get a job so it's convenient for them to be politically aligned. i was one of those guys and i believed what i had been ingesting in one of the things was that the war in vietnam was really our problem, that if we remove ourselves from it the south in vietnam in the north of vietnam would come together and embrace as brothers, as family and, i bought some of that and i was in the streets against the war, and then what happened,
7:22 pm
the people in the streets, and by the way we never lost, our military never lost a battle in that war we were on the way to the defeat of the north, but the real energy that closed out that possibility were those people in the street and they certainly weren't the majority of americans, but they were very effective. it's like what's going on now. they have a march, they prepare an army of people to go out and speak and make noise and you would think, if you are watching television this must be the american people, but it isn't. but anyway, they brought down the war and we pulled out of vietnam. what happened? was there this embrace her celebration? no.
7:23 pm
two and half million people were murdered in laos, cambodia and vietnam because of our absence. and what happened with the left when i saw that, it's the signature of the left. they create this chaos import and then they walk away. they take no responsibility for it. that's what happened to all my buddies. we celebrated, we won the war. we won our war and there was this bloodbath. i remember the woman who was the only single voice from the left and she was ridiculed for and i thought to myself, she's right and we were wrong you
7:24 pm
make up the turning point. >> yes and it took a long time because propaganda is dangerous predicates into our system and it took me a long while to pull completely out of it but little by little bit i did and then like reagan, he said i didn't leave the democratic party, the democratic party left me and to some degree the same thing is true for me. when you look at john kennedy's inaugural address, it would be deemed today by the people in hollywood and my friends in hollywood as some radical not from the republican party. we simply have lost something
7:25 pm
along the way but it hasn't been our own fault. we been attacked by an insidious and evil force in a trace that and i know little bit about that so i know what the battle is. the battle has been raging and it has reemerged in the century in full force and that's what were dealing with right now. >> when i come back i want to ask about this conservatism. your republican and an early supporter of the current president and i want to know what you saw that triggered you to be such a supporter. we'll be right back. ♪

7:31 pm
bloodshed that the people in the streets had that kind of power and i feel, and i've said this to people, i have blood on my hands from that. i understand, that was a moment in time when i was out of line and i had a makeup so much and i feel that way so i'm not going back to that and today i have come a long way and i've had a lot of fun, i must say, one of the great joys of my life is my relationship to the military and patriotism is a very, it brings you many beautiful friends, very close to the first responders of 911 and so i'm a person at peace.
7:32 pm
some people come at me from my own area of the world and say those things i would've said way back, i understand completely. i feel sorry and sad for them i know that we have to keep focus and keep battling for what's true and things will change because the truth will prevail. >> what did you see in candidate trump? >> a couple things. there were 17 guys there all top fellows.
7:33 pm
they're all very bright fellows, very capable and i don't know if there's been such a legion of righteous folks on this one stage together, but i looked at the world and what was left after the past years, and the world was in chaos, terrorism had swept across the world, because the cat was away, the big cats of the united states had been sidelined, the rats were at play in so you had north korea making these gestures of danger to their neighbors, you had iran sponsoring terrorism across the globe with hezbollah and hamas and others, and we had a situation in syria where we watched without responding to 500,000 people being murdered in syria. you needed someone who had
7:34 pm
tremendous strength in someone who could see clearly what the damage was, what was going on and what had to be addressed. you needed someone who was a doer, someone who could solve problems and got up in the morning to solve problems. and then on the home front we had terrible joblessness, failing economy, a civil war really. so much going on so i'm looking, i'm like a casting director in the film. i'm looking, who's the guy that could handle us, and as i watched and i saw what donald trump was pointing to and the
7:35 pm
courage, maybe not courage but clarity with the immigration situation that had to be addressed, and by the way, all of this that they're trying to create, if you listen to the clinton's and obama's, they said the same thing about immigration. they're trying to make him a racist for saying the exact same thing. he's gonna do something about it. as i saw him focusing on clear trade deal, he says organ have politicians sitting down with these people negotiating treaties, this was an eye-opener for me.
7:36 pm
they negotiated nothing. they begged for money but they haven't negotiated. they're not tough negotiators for the not card players. they don't see what's going on, that kind of thing. [inaudible] to other things, one was he was happy in a battle. if someone came at him he was happy to respond in kind. it took no energy from him we seen the attacks against george bush, mitt romney, sarah palin all of these lives
7:37 pm
7:39 pm
7:40 pm
the doctor's office just for a shot. but why go back there... when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. in a key study neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the day after chemo and is used by most patients today. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy.
7:41 pm
do not take neulasta if you're allergic to it or neupogen (filgrastim). an incomplete dose could increase infection risk. ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. if you'd rather be home ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. pay no more than $5 per dose with copay card. so you supported donald trump early. you said there's two reasons. one you like the fact that he had clarity and he fought back. what was the second one. >> there were several things in their but one of the things that made him separated from all the rest was the fact that
7:42 pm
he had enough money to run his campaign and he didn't have to seek huge amounts of funds for his reelection to keep somebody in his pocket so he could always have that cash. this area is a very tough one for people in politics. it should be looked at and repaired because it's gone way beyond, the amount of money that even local politicians have raised is out of line. >> you liked that he was self funding. >> in that month chan meant that he wouldn't have anybody that he had to appeal to, he had a lot of courage. he certainly seems to have a
7:43 pm
lot of courage. he didn't have that other thing. all of these people, i can see in the decisions, good guys for holding to some of the people they've connected to and decisions are being swayed by this relationship. he didn't have it. >> what do you make of the very length of the attacks. >> it certainly is the left doing it. that's what it comes from. he's actually doing what he would do which is an amazing thing in itself but he's actually accomplishing,
7:44 pm
returning to our basic principles of government given to us by those guys on the wall. he's accomplishing it and they are in disarray, he's one by one picking out the stuff in the weeds and they are the weeds so this is their dying breath. they have to stop him somehow you see these very extraordinary things that he come up with, that's what they do. it's that simple. >> is can be seen all over the country, way back in hollywood, do people come up to and say john, what's going on, john york and hurt your career, or is it we expect this from john, is well known,
7:45 pm
and outspoken patriot, conservative. >> you get a little bit of everything of course. >> people in the business to make yes, i get a lot of support, i appreciate who i respect. >> i like my fears, i like them, we are in the same industry, i understand them. >> do they like you. >> that's not so important to me. it may be important to me if i require work, but there's enough people around who are of conservative nature but hollywood has been infiltrated because they are important. that's why the left is focused on hollywood and focus on our
7:46 pm
universities and if you can look at that subculture of the left, they know exactly what they're doing. they've organized and it's been very effective. our children are not being raised to appreciate the greatness of our country and our founding principles. thank god for mark. he is the watchman over this treasure and a person who can explain the beauty of it and knows exactly where the attacks have chipped away at it. we have to get all that back. >> you are very kind. we'll be right back.
7:50 pm
7:51 pm
and she just did this. that's me crying and her crying to because it's so, the gesture was so beautiful. she couldn't even speak. she was just saying thank god and i say it, thank god and one of the reasons i can say that is because i know he's there for us all, and that's one of the things we've lost is this compass of god. what did karl marx come up with? eliminated god, we can do it without this. not these boys, not our guys. they knew very well we hold
7:52 pm
these truths to be felt evident that all men are created equal and endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights including the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. i know you know the genius of our architecture of our founded, this constitution, where it came from, the bill of rights and the declaration, the thought of you being the one, you understand the genius of them to save the pursuit of happyness because of you go into a communist country as i did, i went to moscow to make a little film in 1991, the time that they were changing things with more openness, so i was there and what did i see? people with the heads down were not looking me in the
7:53 pm
eye, nothing worked at the hotel, he went to the desk to ask for something, a light bulb change, they wouldn't look at you, pretended they didn't speak english in this deep unhappiness, they had no possibility to pursue happiness and that's the difference. that's what socialism, communism, that's what it means. you don't have the ability to pursue happiness. you can't raise yourself up above anyone else. as soon as you get more than the next guy, slap down. no matter how hard you work you can't improve the life of your children. they're unhappy. their buildings are unhappy. there's nothing happy about those societies. that's the mark. happiness is a big thing. anyway. i've never heard it put that way, truly, beautifully put. we'll be right back.
7:54 pm
7:55 pm
7:58 pm
>> what would you say to america? >> i would say have hope. there are wonderful things happening every day. thanks and great part to this president that we have that is very specifically talented for this time and all of the dangers that exist in the world and in our country that he is able to face, get up in the morning fresh go through the day 15 hours later just as fresh having mudslinging .-dot him, all these lies and slander that he deals with that does not affect him water off a duck's back and he keeps going.
7:59 pm
and he has around him a legion of very talented people. if you look at the republican party in the conservative world and look at the democratic party there is no comparison. the democrats are bereft of talent. they don't have no leadership there are no statesmen in the democratic world. but in the republican and conservative world, there are many people that are of stature, primed with the specific gifts to answer today's challenge, giving us information every day and i can give you 50 people that i have met personally and i could go through a long list and you can give me another 50 all of these people are very high stature so just have hope
8:00 pm
to make it has been a great pleasure i have known you over the years to have this discussion thank you for coming john voigt. see you next time on >> previously on scandalous chappaquiddick. >> they decided to have a reunion of the boiler room girls and then they reported seeing her car upside down in the wate water. >> what have you done? it's been ten hours. >> myw fellow citizens. >> everything he said which was nothing. >> there are doubts now if he is presidential material
