and hollywood supports libballism. why did hollywood become so leftist? i have some theories.ause so many actors are good looking and maybe they became famous through a lucky audition, so, good looks, lucky break they think most of life is about luck and so government must intervene to make life more fair. not buying it? how about this. since actors work for others, they really have to deal with the big government burdens and other people who really innovate. people who build a factory or an apartment complex or jump through government's hoops to invent new medicine. actors collect a paycheck, they don't have to fight bureaucrats. their agents handle the details. recently read an article about life-long democrat rob schneider. he plays idiots in movies. >> deuce big low never got any respect. >> schneider has now become a republican, he says. the reasons he tried to run a business but california's regulation was so bad he moved out of california and changed political parties. trying to start a business woke him up. >> finally, one more reason why hollywood is so leftist acting

there's diversity in hollywood. i think there's plenty of it. >> i don't think there's plenty of it. >> one way is to take the unions very small, overwhelmingly white, if we had a right to work law in hollywood would make it easier for young black males to get jobs -- more people in the pool. >> i agree with you. >> so start my radio show today and i play part of martin luther king jr. "i have a dream" speech. every time i hear it it literally put a chill down your spine. this man was an inspiration for everybody. i think of that message and then i think of twana brawly and "crown heights" and the fact al sharpton, this al sharpton going to play, he's obama's go-to guy on race issues, this is the guy that gets to the white house in this day and age. how do we go from mlk to this? >> you ain't nothing you're a punk -- [ bleep ] do something. >> we the black chicken fryers of the universe. and we gonna go buy -- we learned to admire them but they knew to admire us. we built pyramids for donald trump ever knew architec

in the third of a five-part look at hollywood directors who made films for the u.s. government during world war ii we feature director john ford and the 18-minute documentary he made for the u.s. navy about the june 1942 battle of midway. the film presented a victory in vivid color to an american public eager for some good news in the year following pearl harbor. but, first we speak with author mark harris about john ford. >> in his book "five came back," author mark harris focusing on the story of hollywood and the second world war and five leading directors at the time, including john ford who served in the u.s. navy during world war ii. mark harris thanks very much for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> what can you tell us about the work of john ford? >> well, ford was one of the most respected directors in hollywood, probably the most respected director before the war. between 1939 and 1941 he went on kind of an unmatched tear in hollywood making "the grapes of wrath," "how green was my valley," "stagecoach," "drums along the mohawk," just a set of movie

a story of hollywood and the second world war. joining us from new york on american history tv is author mark harris. thanks very much for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> as you put together this book and we will see films from well-known director, how much did you know before you researched the topic? >> well, my training as a film writer and film historian, not as a war historian, so for me, what i was investigating was the gap in the resumes of these five directors. you know, i would look and see that george stevens made no hollywood movies between 1943 and 1948 or wiler between '42 and '47 and that got me curious about their war service, which is the part of their life that we on the film side of things often ignore. and what it meant to them and what kind of work they did in the war. >> frank capra probably best known for "mr. smith goes to washington" and "it's a wonderful life." but he was also asked to put these films together by general marshall. my question is why did george marshall go to directors like tank

this is interesting for hollywood. then as hollywood takes and hollywoodizes, if that's a verb, its approach to this, that then influences the public perception as women as, and you knew i was going to get to this, there might be a woman running for president sometime soon. >> let me go to michelle. because there's a difference between having all these roles and being the star of the show. >> yes. >> and i like all of these. i certainly like "good wife." haven't missed an episode of that in five and a half years. a tough woman lawyer with a husband who's got problems, maybe she's got some problems too. but being the star, and that's what you were alluding too. are we ahead or behind the curve? and the new show, "state of affairs," the president is a woman. >> not only is the president a woman in the new show, she's an african american woman, which i think is a big deal for all of the television networks. hollywood is ahead of the curve in that sense, but i don't think in real life we are that far behind. i think the am

whatever the content doesn't fit the hollywood agenda that's wa we get. i think michael moore is a hero among the left for attacking brave americans like this. >> sean, you may be right there. but i think looking at this from a mission success standpoint which we like to do in the s.e.a.l. teams i think the movie has touched people. and i think the fact whoopi goldberg came out and defended i salute her. >> totally agree. >> coming up next tonight right here on "hannity". >> do you ever now looking back have any regrets at all about anything that you did? >> yes, i do. it's the people i couldn't save. >> the americans you couldn't save, the allied forces? >> the americans the local iraqis. anyone who i witnessed violence coming down on them and i could not save them. >> chris kyle back in 2012. more of that interview coming up next. >>> and a former sniper explains what life is like on the front lines. michael moore maybe we'll help educate you in that segment straight ahead. ♪ lookin' good, flo! feelin' good! feelin' real good!

hollywood has a diversity problem. has a diversity problem at the production level in terms of who gets green lighted for films and who gets remitted on screen. that's something we have to work through. just because a black person doesn't get an award doesn't mean hollywood is racist but let's be clear, hollywood is racist. >> you just contradicted yourself. you're saying unless we give out -- >> there's no contradiction. >> -- certain types of award at the oscars then automatically hollywood is racist? are we going to -- >> i said the opposite of that. you misheard me. ben. >> here's a black nominee -- >> ben, ben, ben no no no hold on. you completely misremitted what i just said. i said just because a black perp does not win an award does not mean hollywood is racist. white people can win all the awards. it doesn't mean hollywood is racist. but that point aside, hollywood for other reasons, who gets green lit, who has production money, represented on screen hollywood is racist independent of the award issue. the oppo

a story of hollywood in the second world war.e away from your research? >> i hope that i've conveyed to them something about what it was like to be a hollywood filmmaker in a world that is so different from the one we're in now. you know it's inconceivable to imagine a war now in which one-third of hollywood's adult male workforce would drop their careers and go off to film overseas for three or four years. you know, all of the men i write about had their flaws as people and their complicated personal issues, but we understand in many ways what world war ii looked like and felt like because of the work that they did. it was all work of the kind that they had never done before. it was an extraordinary leap of effort and sacrifice and thought for every single one of them. and what they left us is a legacy of world war ii on film that has deeply informed everything about world war ii that has been filmed and much that has been written since. >> mark harris is a columnist for entertainment weekly. he's also a contributor to new york

. >> is it because hollywood has the impact on movie industries in other countries? >> it could be. we were looking--in the global study we were looking at productions that were exclusively made in that territory. in other words, not what they're watching because 80% of the media consumed globally is made in the united states. but what that particular territory was making themselves. and it could very well be. when you consider the amount of media made in the states that's consumed around the world it could very well be that their own media is impacted by the kinds of media that they see. but there is less hyper sexuality in many of the countries. >> you did look at what type of work, for example, women did. you seem very passionate about seeing women in roles where they're doing the science, the technology, the engineering and the math. it was quite startling according to this research, what you found. >> yes, it's pretty much like in the united states, very few women or female characters are seen in answer of those positions. that's one of the main areas that we want to get more w

and in fact between hollywood and much of america was very suspicious.here were many isolationists in america and in fact in congress, and in the government. there were certainly many anti-semites in america, and there was a considerable overlap between isolationism and anti-semitism, although there were certainly isolationists who were not anti-semites and a lot that were. and the way that played out was this suspicion that this kind of grubby, seedy business where there was mob infiltration of the unions, where most of the men who ran these studios were first or second generation immigrants. most of them were jewish. there was a suspicion that, you know, these people were not real americans. that they were fomenting an appetite for war that they were creating, essentially interventionist propaganda in their entertainment movies with an eye toward dragging america into a war to protect their financial interests and to protect their relatives in the old country. that's the level of kind of paranoia and suspicion and contempt with which many in hollywood

does hollywood have a diversity problem? >> of course hollywood has a diversity problem.and actors who are able to make the pictures they want to make. the "selma" situation really lies with paramount mounting a terrible oscar campaign for this movie. i mean they just didn't do the basic thing of sending out screeners to enough folks who are voting on the oscar nominations. that's the crux of the problem. these are people that did give the award to "12 years a slave" last year. but yes, there's a diversity problem. they got the money and they got the liberty to make the film that they wanted to make. that's where the victory is. and we have this beautiful film that we'll be able to watch for years and years. >> but the issue is -- >> they didn't need a nomination to get that. >> the issue isn't just "selma." the issue has been the oscars period. i don't think -- i certainly didn't speak out just because "selma" didn't get nominations. it was across the board that in every area you do not see nominations and you haven't seen a lack of diversity like that since '98. >> exac

much about hollywood is that there are no rules.nd by that, i mean that there's not one specific path that you have to take in order to become successful in hollywood. every week that i open a film, i'm up against a film that's two, three, four times as big as mine that's got bigger commercials, bigger marketing, arguably bigger stars. but somehow i've managed to be that number one film at the box office that weekend, and it's tremendous. sometimes i sit back and i have to really go wow, that's huge. >> it's not only huge, it's record-breaking. he scored seven films that opened at number one, and in 2012, packer was inducted as a member of the academy. but while his films feature african-american characters, he feels they tell a universal story that touches a far wider audience. >> i tell you, i am very, very proud to be an african-american making movies. however, i don't make films with the intent to label them a black film or any other label. because that would limit me. that would limit my potential. limit the potential of the co

there's cognitive dissonance in hollywood. freedom of expression for us but not when it comes to films we don't like. and a lot of them haven't seen this movie because it's not a pro-war movie at all. it's clint eastwood's best work, and what it does with clear eyes is show the reality of war and the effects on a family, chris kyle's family and the ultimate effect after four tours of duty this great valor-filled american melted down as many do in the military showing the great sacrifice that they all have for all of us and we should be eternally grateful. neil: but it was a mixed bag for the movie, right in clint eastwood did not get a nomination as best director but maybe there's still some hangover from his support of mitt romney. i don't know katherine, i'm not here to politicize this. i am here, though, to step back and say, obviously, not everyone in hollywood bought some of the far-left view of this flick, that it was just glorifying something horrible. they felt it was good enough solid enough persuasive enough, powerfu
