hollywood can't get enough of torture if it makes them very rich. hollywood makes boatloads of money flooding the screen with torture. the only time hollywood objects to torture is when it's not making them really rich, like when you're government uses it. in hollywood, it's great if it means big bucks, go figure, and sony pictures had e-mail accounts hacked and leaked and while some exhibits wage a war on women, they were waging their own secret war on women. female stars like jennifer lawrence and amy adams getting paid less than their co-stars. so much for equal pay, right? and even at the white house, women get paid less. on average, $10,000 less than male employees. there's a war on women and it includes hollywood and the white house. they have not fooled us. they are up to their eyeballs on it. and that's my "off the record" comment tonight. laura ingraham is joining us. these the radio star of the whole country. >> the entire universe. >> yeah, the galaxy. >> war on women in hollywood? >> does any of this surprise you? none of it surprises me

hollywood was distracted.f the plan. >> you think about critical infrastructure. if somebody were to attattack critical infrastructure. you look at the physical attack or cyber attack that results in a physical attack, you have to look at both components. were they concerned about the physical attack or the attack within shouting down the theater system? >> when the hackers on tuesday evoked 9/11, there were concerns movie goers would not show up for fear of a physical attack. that is what resulted in the cancellation of the movie. they are also concerned about a digital hack. that is why it is not coming out online. that is why netflix or others will not buy and let you watch online. i have to say, this movie will some way get out. whether legally or illegally. whether sony wants to release it at some point. it cannot be hidden forever. >> what is fascinating, cyber security experts will tell you everybody is in everybody's business. the great equalizer is if one country attacks one country, they attack back.

and outside of hollywood, just the brunt of the most little criticism right now.t is not just the analysis i'm making. it is a pure observation. they have gone from championing the rights to make a controversial movie to essentially putting at risk you know, the whole kit and caboodle of sony pictures by apparently not taking seriously the threats that had been the ominous, dark clouds on the horizon. they were getting e-mail warnings from north korea through the months of making this movie. the question is, who's judgment call was it to pursue the movie as planned? a lot of changes might have been made along the way. there is this question about how they reacted once they were hacked, which is devastating and presumably nobody could have imagined something as paralyzing as what actually occurred. i don't think there has been a hack in corporate history of this level, this magnitude, stealing the information leaking people's private employee information, private e-mail to that degree. but then they are also being criticized within hollywood by other studios for ta
