7:45 pm
i know what's really happening to the global economy with. no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. there's a report on our. mission impossible director brian de palma it's great to have you with us because all of our stone who wrote the script to one of your best known films scarface said in an interview with our teeth that americans are leaving in a well in state it might not be oppressive on the surface but there's no place to hide so eventually some parts of you is going to end up in the database somewhere according to historian peter cause nick the u.s. government intercepts over one point seven billion messages a day i you know well that we like it understood no it was paranoid because i would
7:46 pm
like myself a very strong. views about what our american foreign policy is and so needless to say i've probably been followed around since the sixty's because i made very political antiwar pictures of me in the sixty's. so i sort of accepted basically. and my last week's political picture back to. my country because i was criticizing our foreign policy and the fact of what the hell are we doing in iraq. these terrible things happen when you put these young boys in these worlds where they don't understand what they're fighting for why they are. so i can understand why all over things were being followed all the time we probably are your drama we docked it which still is what the war in iraq provoked political debates in america with claims it portrays the us soldiers
7:47 pm
and that it's a flight. sensitive to such critique even your films title makes it clear that the truth about the war in iraq has been edited and he didn't fund them or it can public unfortunately america you can never say anything negative about the troops even though they're over in a country they shouldn't be doing things where a lot of innocent civilians are getting killed. they're all valued warriors. well i think our foreign policy is incorrect i don't think we should have been in iraq it was i think we were lied to by our government and what happens when you put young boys in situations where they don't know why they're there there and it's even worse than being because not only are you wouldn't terrible environment where everybody basically wants to kill you. and you walk around and suddenly the earth explodes and your best friend just lost his leg. you. to test the
7:48 pm
people you're supposed to be fighting for. and you do crazy things and that's what to redact it's about and that's what cancer does a war was about. these wars make no sense and crazy things happen here if studied the phenomenon or rather the pathology of violence for a while for decades why is america so keen to get involved in conflicts whatever they hop on from afghanistan to libya shooting first and thinking later many things in there we're repeated over and over again that you know sort of. create this and this atmosphere one is america is the greatest day shouldn't in the world i don't know how many times i've heard that do they say that in russia do you say russia is the greatest nation in the world not often i yeah and
7:49 pm
why are we all love for the world why are we in countries you know we have you know a military presence all over the world why because we're the policemen of the world who who who decided this you know. so consequently we get ourselves in a lot of trouble but you know there's also an economic thing according to president obama and economic recovery has begun but america cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and the growing many can barely make it where we sell . planes guns rockets missiles to all these countries all over the world so you know that when that's one of our biggest industries it's our biggest export defense america spends as much money on military security intelligence as the rest of the world combined you know you're dealing
7:50 pm
with a big you know economic reality you know the idea that we would cut any money to the defense budget is like unbelievable let's get a few more planes let's buy a few more ships for what you know we're going broke doing this and there's like you know it's like what eisenhower warned you know the military industrial complex watch out it just grows and grows and grows and nobody can seem to stop it barack obama has been recently sworn in for his second term but you don't seem to be very happy with his achievements oh no i think obama's trying to change some of this but you know you're dealing you know our country is split we have kind of liberals and he the cosa we have this kind of very conservative center of the country and that's why it's a difficult to get anything done in the congress. i mean what do we have guns what about guns all over the place you know we're slaughtering children and people think
7:51 pm
oh well maybe we need more policemen in the school rooms i mean you know it's crazy but guns is big business and they like to sell guns and we are probably the only country in the world that has guns all over the place following the mass shooting at the elementary school in connecticut in december the los angeles police department has decided to deploy six hundred police patrols at the elementary and middle schools do you think increasing police patrols could help hold violence some say that their real purpose of the police buildup at schools is to make kids used to their cars. presence off police and the growing atmosphere of fear there was an incident in china were you when somebody went to school and attacked all the children fortunately he only had a knife so is my only bet is to stab a few people and kill no one when you have automatic weapons that can fire and one
7:52 pm
hundred rounds i don't know in ten seconds you it's crazy and it's like these are the kind of things that make no sense in america and the obviously after this last terrible tragedy they're trying to make some changes in the gun rules oh so i can buy an automatic weapon with a magazine that holds two hundred bullets to go punch drunk it's absurd but these are the kind of things that does drive you crazy i mean it makes no sense whatsoever zero dark thirty if the controversial years drama focusing on the decade long manhunt for a summon bin laden has been slammed for excessive violence and depiction off torture to find such criticism fair enough absolutely no big surprise we tortured a few people who applied where the terrorists were wow. i can't believe that
7:53 pm
america torturing people what's going on in guantanamo bay those poor guys have been there forever is the war ever over maybe we should waterboard to belittle bit but only been there for ten years where does this glorification of murder and saw can from well i think the use of torture in. in the big movie is very realistic. in a way i don't know why everybody so surprised or upset but the fact that you would say that americans actually torture people is like possible but it's ridiculous of course they torture people. i like most of the action packed crime dramas targeting men your latest passion is if it were exclusively about women and for women now in the past some ladies have actually accused you of being a missile engine. is this the three of your final answer to them well i would
7:54 pm
had made it through in quite a while and the producer really made religion a french movie it was approached in toronto when it was shown there and american producers that we wanted to make an english version which is. there was so much interested in making an english version he decided to make and sell so he was doing my or my film so he sent the film to my agent and i looked at it and i had made it through in a long time and i had sort of taken a couple of years off because i had you know daughters in school and i kind of like the idea plus i like you know making a film in paris or out of piracy louie ultimately shot at berlin. i like working in europe i like living in paris and i like the characters that you know these two. aggressive women fighting for power within the advertising agency i like
7:55 pm
women i have worked with women my whole life i went to a school as a graduate school at sarah lawrence in which i was the only male amongst hundreds of women so i'm very used to being in large groups of women i'm used to working with women i get along with them i don't know where i got this massage and its reputation because i love to shoot women out of the dress. the muppet i love to make them look beautiful i have to follow them around with cameras because they are appealing to my i i mean this movie was full of women they had we had the two competing executives we had the assistant that's in love with her boss and then we have this beautiful russian ballerina so what more could i ask for thank you very much.
