i'm not saying we shouldn't cover this and talk about this, but, you know, i'm sorry, morgan freeman, not causing -- >> i'm hearing apparently morgan freeman has come out and said it's a hoax, although it's been running all over the media for the last 24 hours. it may be a hoax, as he appears to now be clarifying. either way, though, it's a debate a lot of people i've been seeing on twitter, cnn anchors, anderson cooper and others think you shouldn't be naming. it's something people should be thinking about quite carefully. >> it is a valid thing to be thinking about, but then you turn to the research, if you have viable research to look at, you can look at experts who can assess the truthfulness of the conclusions. we don't see that coverage like this causes violence. >> final question, everybody wants to know the same thing, why would a 20-year-old boy who just seemed to be a little bit of a loner, little bit strange, but nothing dangerous at all, why would he go to a school and kill 20, 5, 6, 7-year-old kids? >> the person that has the answer mainly is adam. one thing we know is pe

one thing that made me say no was morgan freeman. >> replacing morgan freeman. >> the man played god, okay. >> he's my movie god. >> he played god in a movie, so i'm like, but as i looked at james patterson's description of the physicality and the age and family, i thought, he's talking about me. so i gave it a second look, and i loved the arc that i get to play in this role. i get to go from the family man to the brilliant psychologist who figures things out to chasing a bad guy to this lion unleashed at the end of the movie. >> you're also superslim. and we have here "men's health." you lost 30 pounds? >> i dropped 30 pounds. >> a gut-busting cover. how tyler perry dropped 30 pounds and you can too. how did you do it? >> i worked with anthony gholston. and prayer and working out. >> don't eat as much? >> you don't eat as much and move a lot more. i was running five miles. and i'm telling you, i'm dropping names, but this guy eric in atlanta worked with me and was amazing. i did it for five minutes and could not get off the floor. it's amazing to get you to really shed the pounds. >>

morgan freeman plays the president and elijah wood is in this.that time. it was about people pondering their future and dreams with this incredible event about to impact earth. take a listen. >> we honor them with every brick we lay, with every field we sow, with every child we comfort and then rejoice in what we have been re-given. our planet. our home. >> and in the background, you see the burned out white house. which is pretty dramatic. that's one of my favorites. and you have two that you like. >> i couldn't decide which was my favorite, so i picked two. first up "independence day" with will smith. 1996 it came out and aliens come and invade the earth and blow everything up. and there's a group of rag tag people that go to area 51 in the nevada desert and participate in the counterattack on july 4, independence day. man versus alien, and it's awesome, okay? excellent. my other favorite, also starring will smith, "i am legend." what's so great about this, 2007 sort of science fiction horror. a man-made virus goes haywire and has this crazy st

said white people belong in hell and just lately jamie fox joked about shooting white people, morgan freemanouring of racial separatism and hostility. it's not a good climate. >> steve: when colin powell was secretary of state and when he was criticized, nobody came back and said, well you're doing that because of the color of his skin. same thing with condoleeza rice, when she was excoriated by senator barbara boxer. >> and gonzalez, same thing. attorney general. so there is not just race, but it's race and the ideology and politics. why are people doing it? because it gives them a political edge and people are afraid to call them on it. >> steve: doesn't it seem like just one side is using that? >> it is. and that's what the irony is because the democratic party was supposed to be the party that transcended race. this was a post-racial president. we woke up in 2009 and all of a sudden, the color of your sequin rather than content of your character has become important. >> steve: indeed. victor davis hanson, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> steve: next up, on this monday,

(laughter) sorry, prostate, maybe next exam. (laughter) but now scientists say that the older you get the less you can trust your gut. >> we all have a natural suspicion in our brains, right? it warns us when somebody's not trustworthy or trying to rip us off. you can feel it. but researchers say we get less skeptical as we get older. here's the bad news: it starts in your mid-50s. as we get older we lose the ability to determine who or what is untrustworthy. shelley taylor, the lead researcher says people basically as they age lose that gut feeling that, hey, something's wrong here. >> stephen: who who'd have thought that elderly fox news viewers would be more susceptible to misinformation. (cheers and applause) now, folks, my 50s are years and two years away. (laughter) but i want to protect myself against becoming gullible. fortunately a man o
