up next r.t. interviews author david to rob out the nexus between the pentagon and hollywood stay with us. whether mays david rabbit a veteran hollywood journalist and he has been nominated for the pulitzer prize three times in one of his books he takes his readers behind the scenes during the making of many well known movies in hollywood and also we reels deep connections between the pentagon and hollywood thank you very much for joining me here today thank you medea is my pleasure and your book operation hollywood how the pentagon shapes and censors the movies you claim that the pentagon selectively supported some movies and some filmmakers and that the way it is done is unconstitutional why do you think so the pentagon admits that they do selectively support some

filmmakers and not others if you are willing to give your script to the pentagon and let them review it before you shoot the movie and if they have any changes that they want to make if they want to take out a portrayal of the military that they think is negative that will hurt their recruiting goals. if they want that taken out and you agree that you'll take that out or to put in something that's more positive to help them recruit people then though assist you with your movie then you can get the great you access to aircraft carriers and submarines and tanks and ships and planes and if you don't play ball with them they won't give you that stuff it's unconstitutional because the supreme court has ruled over and over and over again that. the first amendment states that. congress shall make no. so make no law abridging the freedom of

speach. the supreme court has ruled that that means that the government cannot favor one form of speech over another and that's exactly what the pentagon does if you say what they want you to say the hope you with tax payer funded equipment and if you don't play ball they won't help you but these are just b.s. is it just movies this is just going to taint why's it that important it's a form of speech and that's what the constitution protects government interference in the government can't give you tax breaks by saying nice things about them. movies or our form of speech just like a book if a book if people thought that their newspapers or our books are being sent it has by the military if the military was telling book writers or newspapers what to take in and what to take out of their scripts people would be outraged why do you think so few people are aware of the situation at the end of every movie at the very bottom of the ball the credits pass all the the music and all the actors and all

the drugs everybody is a long long list of credits at the very end they'll be a little things thing we great feeling gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the us. army or air force and that's the only way you'll know that this is happening to the movie you just watched so you mention in their book that there was a link between the pentagon and hollywood and that link was the film liaison office so why did that office do well right here in los angeles a few miles from the u.c.l.a. campus there's a tall building on one entire floor as the film liaison offices of the marine corps air force army navy and the coast guard and they are. i sit up there and they and filmmakers who want military assistance give them their scripts they look at the scripts they mark out what they think is they don't want and make suggestions on how to change the scripts to get approval then if they make a deal they sign

a contract then once they start shooting the film they have a military minder who actually comes on to the set to make sure that it's shot just the way it was agreed to be done and then before it's released to the public it has to be screened in washington d.c. for the generals and admirals i think the american people knew that their films were being sent to ty's by the military and then prescreened for the for the. in washington for the generals and admirals that they would be outraged so what kind of scripts for approved by the military and what kind of scripts were blocked they want films and television shows that will aid in the recruiting and retention of military personnel they want people to see a movie and to be inspired by the heroics and join up and join the military and if a film negatively portrays anyone in the military they consider that.

not helping their recruiting goals so they will not help any picture that shows war crimes shows military people doing bad things drunk cursing you mention that they target children they really do they target children because they are the future recruits and there's. a great example letter that my book is based on thousands of pages of the pentagon's notes to the producers and their own internal documents talking about how they're wanting to influence the the film making. one of the notes was written from an air force. colonel to the producers of the the film the right stuff which is about their early days of the american space program the colonel told the producer this picture the it was based on a book by tom wolfe which was filled with lots of cussing very funny very colorful

book but the military didn't want that and the colonel wrote the obscene language jews did seems to guarantee an r. rating if distributed as an art cuts down on the teenage audience which is a prime one to the military services when a recruiting goals are considered so they change the script in accordance with what the military want and they they took out a bunch of the city and they got a a g. rating and then. actually got a p.g. rating right and then they got the target they got the target audience the by changing the script and so everybody was happy whatever benefits such cop aeration for hollywood what hollywood wants which is cheap access to really expensive military weaponry and hardware and personnel and hollywood has what the pentagon wants which is. an audience millions of eyeballs

looking at their their movie and thinking positively about the military of course filmmakers have the right to say no they can certainly say no i'm not going to do and many have done that many many filmmakers of didn't have any and said no i'm not going to do and they made their own movies or in some cases they weren't able to make the movies and many films and not been made because they couldn't get this instance from the military can you name any popular name samples of popular movies that went through the military control before they were actually filmed james bond golden eye. one of the dupes in the film was american admiral and the milage is a no will help you but you have to change the nationality at most they changed it to a french enron but then later they wanted to go to they went to france to actually shoot the picture. and the friend said well you want some of our stuff will help you but you've got to switch the the admiral to something else so the actually in

the film it's a canadian hollywood filmmakers were just given access to classified information concerning the bin laden s.s. nation what do you think of well when i was interviewing the for the book the producers of the films they would always say oh no we didn't give any trade up there only we can really tell by seeing the notes the producers and the exchange of course spies between the the military and the producers i haven't seen those notes and i think anybody seen those notes i don't know if there's been a trade off there was no trade off i don't have a problem that the government wants to just release information to people and there's no quid pro quo there's no deal i think that's fine but is the problem is when there's a deal made behind the backs of the american people in violation of the constitution and american law that's what i object to. how do you think this long term

collaboration between the pentagon and hollywood a fact to the minds of the americans when the american people are seeing hundreds and hundreds of thrones and television shows that have been sanitized by the military and to make military seem more heroic than it really is and never wrong and always good that this creates a false image in the american people's mind and i think it's helped make the american people a more warlike people thank you thank you. i'm sure old guard you got a story or out about that crazy lady with a convertible that honk for france and every time he. was on death row for nineteen years right there. that.

society has condemned these people as less than human it is necessary to punish crime and everything we do to punish crime is unpleasant. but it needs to be done nobody wants to be linked to the nazis but the historical antecedents of the american death penalty today come in large part from the nazis and the sad part is state of texas gets their way and they execute him and i won't be allowed to touch him until after he's dead. any time i leave the house. and he keeps telling me they can't hear me in there because it's all cinder block and concrete but every time i go by. i won't be there i will not witnessed the killing my front.

a really big confidence boost for the team and it really in relaxed mood since they've landed in warsaw and traveled here down here ross love about the game itself in the rush of a really dominated from around the fifteen minute mark did start to well after they really took a stranglehold of a game the attacking trio of under their sharpened islands a goal of an alexander character called really causing the fans no end of problems it was really no surprise but russia did eventually manage to open the scoring for about money and would go to up later in the first half of the czechs did manage to pull a goal but even intervention of roman public really did give the russians a boost and he provided the go over to seconds ago it would eventually go on to win the man of the match and it was probably changed and so he was suffering for bit of a gruelling injury early in the week when he showed that he's back to full fitness as he grabbed a fourth to get russia a fantastic start and some really big boost for take out the guardsmen have played so well in this match against the czech republic has very go into the rest of their

games the next match of course being in poland on the twelfth of june which is a national holiday in russia should be a fantastic atmosphere in warsaw but certainly this russian team shown by katz said in the lead up to russia on really want to favorites to win the whole of veins but certainly showing a lot of a bigger nations the likes of germany the netherlands spain they'll be taking notions service russian side especially the tracking prowess that russia has. and publishing can especially under shy of in the middle child and he received a lot of stick really when he was at arsenal were in the year played quite well for the national team during that time but today he really was sensational his movements his his direction of the ball is will to win was just fantastic and it's going to be a great boost obviously for de kalb the cat he's kept in and really just how is my . has returned to form so all in all a fantastic result for russia to get this year is revising twelve campaign all to
