one holiday we'll talk to them about the bambino we'll talk to them but billy h. all things garrett hedlund right after this on dennis miller plus what. hey folks welcome to dennis miller plus one but chatted for an 8 seconds with this guy i'm already a fan. handsome brothers over my shoulder here and my man grew up by then he was in russo minnesota and then got on just in time to go to arizona for a school work trust me they're not where parker is they're the girls but the handsome brothers a big. of a young men in the minnesota boys life right now of course we do we all aspired we all aspire to be a name you know 98 percent of the hockey players up there were they and some brothers so. i don't want to bury the lead here but we're talking to you garrett

hedlund and he is known for films like tron legacy currently starring in the hulu film jefferson that hulu you were talking about m.g.m. in the past and now these platforms are making great product the hulu film the united states versus billie holiday it will be released on the streaming platform on february 28th and we squint here i want to make sure of the date right 26 this is garrett hedlund our a very good i'm very into thanks for having me downs. listen. congrats on the bambino and to name the baby rhodes no doubt he's going to be scholarly how's how's the young tyke sleeping at this point you know what it's just it's crossan it's a month today. the pediatrician was here a couple of nights ago and said we're embarking on hell month so it's not great but it's really brought up the old sculler because. many of the nurses that we had that

you know were up there in a little longer in the tooth and soon as they saw on the all white or how his name was spelt they all said like a role that scholar. you know what you are it's funny actors have to. rank you know the best actors i think walk around with some room and not idiots about it but they have like a bifurcated view of people where they're studying their quirks and also be friending or not getting on well you know but when you have a baby name you're studying ambiguity and all i would just go in and look at the kid all the time right you know it's it is especially the 1st night was you know in the hospital we you that 1st night i didn't sleep a wink so i kept looking out of the corner to make sure his chest was raising and his lips were moving in a cry here and there would be helpful so i knew it was breathe and i know that's

a common thing but it's it's amazing you know i always imagine what he was going to look like and he looked nothing like i ever imagined you know more beautiful than i ever could have dreamt that it's really spot on but that it's in an immediate infatuation he's you know he's a sweetheart he's ease the best versions of both of them already now and those names rose but now we call them rodeo before now and. i absolutely love that you must be a man in full right now by the get the girlie a james the bend they know you're knocking it out of the park on the ground hope you're taken mental polaroids maybe because you're in it. mental polaroids taken notes sketches a lot of videos a lot of photos it's it's it's never ending and i hope it never does i mean that's and that's a reason you know i come across roads when when then it was pregnant and she

said if it's a girl i get to name it and if it's a boy gary you get to name and that's arrival still agree on it and when we found. it was a boy you know how she started throwing names out like darts like sam fox everything on it and i kept deflecting that you're in there you know i kind of had rose in my pocket and partly because what you what you said earlier you know from doing on the road to that you know care where we put like 60000 miles on doing that all over the states south america mexico table con canada even and then we did a you know a last road trip from our l.a. and i've been signed on to that project for quite a few years before so i did so many road trips on my own and coincidentally my my father and passed away 5 years ago after we'd finished

a 3 week road trip and so when she let me name him i knew i wanted to be a little something metaphorical and roads for the journey the adventure or the optimism possibility and life roads for our road trip and not to like bring this down like another set of my grampa jean. when i was prepping for country strong we. he passed away halfway through me singing in the sun chances are and him and i used to go on a lot of these these rowing trips like the rivers in northern minnesota and he was a big rower and cowboy 'd and went everywhere with his rifle his camper his canoe and so to have roads and row for short. in there as is something that really you know bryce learned

a lot yeah and then so it's it's something special i'm very happy about and using he's going to be you know he's going to be a heartbreaker. rather than you've got to you've got to enjoy it every moment because before long you'll be doing this car thing with him and he'll be he'll have his license all right you'll be sitting next to him so that's how quick it happens you gotta dig not tripped because i did not often sail in a man out i'll be bailing him out of jail in no time with the same. and the same amount of money my dad had when he was just me get me out from the ole cop shop for stealing. yeah you reference the fell we got to get to it sell a little soap air you know i'm not as hip to her as i should be i've read among her tertiary only in a sinatra book so not true at the end turns up with her and i think he you know he pays a lot of homage to her but tell me about billie holiday tell me how she becomes the toast of paris is she driven away by racism here in the 40s or tell me the story

and who do you play in the movie well yeah billie holiday as you know we all know in lovers it's one of the greatest sort of jazz musicians you know singers around heart felt poetic passionate painful. you know and then people come to fine with him watching this that she really battled addiction big time back then as a lot of these folks head especially in jazz when it's very improvisational you know we was a big thing then the heroin was a big thing. and i wasn't you know as big of a fan of billie holiday as i was. you know specially haven't dealt with things of of the b. generation before i mean i remember driving a 1st go one time for my 1st on and judged the time it took by how many times i can

play through this billie holiday cd so if i played it 5 times i was already crossing the golden gate bridge. you know she was. she was a massive staple on the jazz scene. i play a character in this named harry and larry who's the director of the federal bureau of narcotics that and this wasn't this story wasn't this part of the story wasn't touched on in lady sings the blues because harry was still alive. but he was a man that was obsessed with a rest seen billie holiday because of her addiction and because of drug use and because she was singing the song strange fruit. which we're whence a dental a was what she come to find out a big song for the civil rights movement you know it was about it was a song about lynching anti-lynching the act there of lynching and the more she sung

at the more it upset this man and and he. put a stir in the audience in the culture and then the movement and made it harder for him to control everybody he was a very manipulative guy he. was involved in the prohibition it was like an assistant to the commissioner in the probation and when prohibition failed he took that as as a personal and barris meant. you know he had quite the ego on him at that time and coincidentally his wife's uncle was a guy name andrew mellon who was the united states secretary of treasury and he granted anslinger 100000 dollars to formulate this bureau and within

anslinger and his way he always had some ulterior motive that he was working on and then you know in a malicious sort of way and that became make an example out of. out of billie holiday i mean previous to him being the director of the federal bureau of narcotics and somebody had asked him about marijuana before and he said oh it's harmless doesn't do you know it's calls way worse and then once he became the director of the bureau changed his views completely and used mass media. alter you know the. citizens of the us is views on it he has like 30 doctors of their view on even marijuana $29.00 said it's harmless one said it's the devil's drug and he ran with that and you know put it out there in the press and that was the beginning of him you know trying to become pretty much like a world you know czar on the war on drugs except the money i

mean his mob you know what he was doing and in you know it was a he was a guy was some tricks up his sleeve there's nothing on a holiday. hello can there be searches in jail. or the me for asking but why is that song so important to us hoover says it's un-american. you propose lyrics they provoke people in the wrong way. the wrong way. or would you have me do so you're a good liar. now in nature to go down to the person and tell her you're sorry. she's a sucker for man like god is the dorm on prohibition and no doubt he was professionally mortified had to jump over and find the next chapter of huda who to demonize you

know it's an odd thing though playing this adds layer guy member watching the great robert downey film and i do think it's great that chaplin and kevin dunn plays j. edgar hoover now it's he's in a film and obviously have done your homework aaron realize some of the inequities in pursuing i don't know billie holiday enough but i do know she was a tragically had got to find some help for these people as opposed to running them to ground but it was only going to the head of what you would like if you play the bad not the bad guy but the the attic it was some look i was. you know when when lee approached me about playing in this it was very early on it was it was i don't even know if you had a script written yet. he just gave me a. sort of

a pamphlet about anslinger and then there was you know when i 1st saw knew him being this political figure you know and then. you know it when i 1st saw a photo of him he's the sort of book like the alfred hitchcock or me. and i was intrigued by it and then and you know i love this period. i love the thirty's forty's you know i romanticize about a lot and obviously you know and then i've always been a fan of. billie holiday and even those you know lester young comes into this one a little bit who who i was a big fan of like the dexter gordon's in the. big fan of that and you know this is this book was fashion or this film was fashioned after a book chasing the scream. but you know hand nari and

and. you know it just gave some. wonderful critical insight into believing when what she endured during this time. you know it to anybody else if it was if it was if it was a celebrity then they happened to be a white celebrity hooked on heroin anslinger and said i think she's more fit for a doctor's care and the fact that it was billie holiday and you know. you know a colored woman in other planet racial it might as well have been another planet we're talking to garrett hedlund and 3 we're talking about the who lives on they're going to release it on february 26th it's the united states versus billie holiday and i had seen a. day really committed to this part gotcha thrale thing and you're

hearing great things about it well talk more in garrett after the break going to talk to him about the long mosey from northern minnesota down there result how he gets out there l.a. that right after this as well or plus what. the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interests while you see in this these techniques is the state devising methods to him to essentially destroy the personality of an individual. by scientific means this is how one doctor's theories were allegedly used in

psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation psychological courtroom the cia disseminated within the us intelligence community and worldwide among our allies for the next 30 years and out of victims say they still live with the consequences today. but the demick no certainly no border to nationalities. has emerged we caught up with her in the wee dog of the backseat world peace to be . chief. judge of. commentary crisis with the sentence times we can do better we should be better. everyone is contributing each her own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on

forever the challenge is great the response has been massive so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. spring carmen those books. fall. for most of them in the early 1970 s. how much can a psychologist mixologist proposed to the west but in senate a social experiment he wanted to live paedophiles adopt and care for neglected boys experiment was afraid. of or listen to the mobile. phone on the old. girl to cancel believes that sex with older men would help with the boy's socialization over 30 years many children

were handed paedophiles to raise the destruction who pushes a little hard more to the dogs eat or go to work which are but we can the good old belief what the answer should be mr oldfield to pursue someone through the truth. folks welcome back to dennis miller plus one while we had a great description of the upcoming hulu film the united states versus billie holiday it will be out on that platform on february 26th from our guests are garrett hedlund i believe you grew up on a cattle ranch up in minnesota and then right at high school time to go down and arizona i always think of david spade as a quintessential arizona in the night. by this because i feel like i've that there's you know for a guy that seen joe dirt about 99 times i can say that that i don't feel honored.

to you know be here right now i'm i'm wondering if we're going to start talking about brandy. he introduced me to there is so funny spade so diminutive but nobody you realize at the end of the day guess what women like to do they like to laugh and nobody spottier or nobody has the bigger all side of a more tucked him and spade who loves women and he knows exactly the rhythms of that he makes them laugh but i remember that girl just laughed 5 the whole time i was on the set for a few days and the whole time i was with those 2 'd she just laughed and says yes spade is like glengarry coffee is for closers the spade the arizona the best that that he sees a funny one of cross him a few times. yeah i think spade went to i think he went to

a high school very close to mine in scottsdale if i'm not mistaken he went to a high school called for. now i went to one called the rug and he does good work for arizona he always goes back and gives a lot of money for bullet proof vests for the cops and that he's much beloved that he's my arizona guy did zoom arizona makes it a little easier to think of hollywood i would think at some point the been on a cattle farm in minnesota dig your tenure in a.z. . you know it it it did. in minnesota why are you know my town was 2500 people this town rose. palermo factory to stoplights i think they got a 3rd maybe like 9 years ago or something. very small town 10 miles south of canada close to lake of the woods where we'd spend you know at least a week out of the summer we got to get away from the farm. home of the broughton
