Hollywood is filled with all -- leftist actors and produces.

Jason the Tara is the author of the new book Hollywood hypocrites he is right via -- -- adjacent.

-- first question.

How can you tell me why Hollywood is almost universally.

Left of -- -- -- what I set out to investigate and right Hollywood hypocrites -- the question I thought about and I think and it makes sense in that.

-- for for a living and they need to express a motion play other people connect with people.

On an emotional level to build script and big screen and sell -- their product what does liberalism liberalism is nothing more than one big emotional -- It doesn't make sense so there's a perfect confluence between.

Liberal policies that don't make sense in the real world that never never materialize like -- they're sold.

And and Hollywood which is nothing but -- You realize that to this young lady here wishes from a -- Hollywood herself tonight but somehow I escaped an and I can do that I totally agree with you I mean I think that it's it's all about emotion it's not about -- -- numbers has -- the numbers are are inconvenient generally don't back it up when you talk about.

For example raising the minimum wage which is something an -- -- Matt -- out talking about.

You know eight it.

They don't realize that you have a certain pile of money that you can use a pay workers so if you pay workers more per -- -- employed fewer of them it's straightforward map.

But but I know a lot of people on the Hollywood liberals in general don't wanna do math I think you'll bull brings this out they don't track.

It's what they preach now -- it's -- -- if it's not just about human failings of hypocrisy it's that Obama -- biggest backers and this is.

Something that people have to realize and generally conservatives any Republican shrug off Hollywood and celebrity endorsements.

We hear about super -- and the Citizens United Supreme Court case and big oil money Obama has the biggest industry in America supporting him that's -- -- -- they have the megaphone they have the the support helping to frame the message and then more importantly the money Obama's top -- are Hollywood executive is that accurate that is accurate Jeffrey Katzenberg Audrey -- CEO of DreamWorks.

And Harvey Weinstein the Hollywood executive.

-- -- producer and these are his top.

Bottlers just -- he every time he travels to LA or to New York there's some sun star studded celebrity event where -- raise 121 point six 1000000 dollars in 1 evening.

It's is a major cash cow for the Obama administration.

We ran a clip from the more -- a moment ago which has a lot of environmental is them it is okay.

I'm wondering is that Green message.

-- -- religious message and easy to an.

Everything all movies no I've mostly not allowed to see in the Clinton and -- up produces a scene it and it says -- probably yeah it it it has too big to fail in the background -- company's -- It's written -- a rebuke against.

Consumerism.

In 1971 by by doctors -- that this is not here's the thing.

-- your point -- the hypocrisy.

The consumerism but they have seven product -- integrated include I'm not.

I live it's possible -- I -- they have.

I think they they don't cared George Clooney says guy I think can't really help you out on energy stuff do about that given up my private jet at least you won't go that far -- you -- -- to keep.

Up what Hollywood's carbon footprint all of us would have to walk around spraying aerosol cans all day long look at because we cannot keep up with the ersatz -- size.

Carbon footprint I mean do you get Harrison Ford who who actually got his chest waxed for YouTube commercial to bring awareness to -- To global marketing he got a -- and act now somehow -- it's still a mystery how that actually brings awareness to global warming but he did it.

Harrison Ford who -- seven airplanes and is on record as saying I often fly at the cold for a cheeseburger.

But cheeseburger -- -- have to look private jet to the -- -- an -- the rest of -- about climate change.

I -- show you something on that is you'll confrontation with Chris raw coal on a second roll tonight.

The Tea Party.

We get the message I think he didn't like it's.

-- -- -- the audio somehow or other McKenna laxity he tried to speak trucks smashed that camera.

OK and you look confronting him about his statements that the occur equating the -- -- with racism but -- questioning him about that.

Those kind of ugly.

Yeah but I guess it's it's not surprising I mean because once you -- Hollywood on their hypocrisy is.

And ask them to justify there insane statements over the years.

They become -- -- on you know I'm just tired of have being patriotic Americans who go to rallies who were concerned about the direction Obama has taken this country to be maligned as racist to be maligned.

As not being insane and and and driven to opposition couple of Obama's skin color -- get hundred it is it -- -- and and then when you.

I just wanted to as Chris Rock.

How where's the evidence for that he goes he attacks my camera woman then after what you -- to fight me.

While he was conveniently standing behind his his bodyguards are you gonna go after and you know the Hollywood actress.

I mean are you gonna make a practice of that was an ambush it -- well let's listen I am sure it's an ambiguity and again -- -- I'll I'll continue to do an -- have a problem with these.

These type of interviews -- because the left has been doing them for years -- Mike Wallace built -- -- on them.

And number two Chris while I'm Chris Rock is not just gonna sit down with me -- the mainstream media is not gonna quote Chris Rock out on his.

Are on this insane statements so you know what we got at least I gotta be scrapping get the interview like at the end of the name of the book again is Hollywood hypocrites -- true.
