" Excuse me. Are you here's your eyes it was gets worked no I think those -- against woman sometimes you have quite. Soldiers into guns no there's guns come in handy when we do fight -- needs to -- the game. No. Police. I'm just here looking for my uncle is name is -- Uncle Michael I don't know. I was a clip from the new."
" Movie in American Carol the film is not even out in theaters it's already getting some buzz as the first company to take on the American left thrown out. The film targets liberals from Rosie O'Donnell from Michael Moore. And -- a political message cloaked in the comedic styling is. Of airplane director David zucker the movie hits theaters October 3 joining -- now as a director producer and co writer and an American Carol. David zucker David welcome back the show I was a big fan by the way at Kentucky fried movie that's back when you're liberal right."
" Planned and did R rated movies but that was designed that was way back I was a liberal hell I voted for gore. I'm very I'm very recent and your your brother Jerry is a little or at any you know it's like the family is completely -- he's he's appalled that that what's happened to me. I don't what happened what didn't happen had this happen. Well I you know I've been listening to talk radio too much I guess and you know you can you can have been working on me you know you Dennis Prager."
" And I Utah and had I decided on coms are not going to talk radio show on the progressive stations but thoughts you're on the -- anyway -- Los Angeles where you are but okay good so so this this particular now this election it's actually kind of funny that Michael Malone like guesses. The Michael Moore character. Yes correct and has gotten I -- in -- move along dot org. Right -- influenced her move on and they want to do away with the fourth of July which can all of us liberals and of course hate America and -- the fourth of July right."
" Well that was -- done to go along with the the whole christmas Carol dickens' with the he has to say bah humbug to christmas so. Our guy says bah humbug to the fourth of July."
" Very interesting now now you I always. You've talked about the difficulty. Conservatives have in Hollywood -- here you know Gary Sinise says this he Kelsey Grammer and Jon Voight. And that yet they're all these Hollywood conservatives always complaining that there are no conservatives Hollywood."
" Well you know I just a real minority I mean -- there there is -- I had I had lunch today. With a far left blogger for the Huffington Post as it happened and I said. Well there's you know there's only 5%. And Republicans and Hollywood and he said now now. That he'd like I was crazy as -- what 10% is that okay. I Denzel but it's a definite minority but -- Hollywood actor. Become a governor who happens -- himself as a Republican. Well you can always cite this anecdotal information you know that you care -- they always say well Timothy McVeigh was a bomber and he you know so that should equate with the you know all of them the thousands of people being killed by giving them Islamic terrorism and David Sean Hannity is actually that you guys ask me to be and -- it. It is this is the same one business as they want and you got I don't know what happened but we couldn't get on -- what does it take to get you wouldn't want to be and --"
" You know what I have a pretty busy work schedule so I I didn't I'm not sure I want to go to war movies see me on the big screen island bad enough on the small screen but. And I think it's that you don't want to stick your neck out as a Republican you're just like all these other Pollyanna I really hiding in the closet you know my political views nobody can really know where I stand on these than you know what do you want -- to. Yeah wanted to come out here -- who want to -- about a lot pick up on balance the professional I feel. Liberals. Are so angry. I don't know the reasons most liberal -- fail and radio they have zero sense of humor. You know everything is so doctor -- sole language of -- bush bush what it's like there's bush arrangements syndrome. I know I kind of enjoyed making fun of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and you know I'm I enjoyed making fun Al Gore I really have a good time. Although this is these are serious times a Barack Obama do you find that you know the the Hollywood political left is is as angry as I do."
" I I actually do and I mean it's good they're all all my friends are liberals and some of them are just more more. Angry that and then others but sometimes. Like I'll send them all email them an article that I think he just makes sense is Charles Krauthammer he's talking on the subject made this a convince you and then I get back. This is from a relatively -- this. You Charles Krauthammer is another case and so it's like all debate is gone and that's kind of I do get an angry response and you know and I think they they think we're bad people although I don't mean to do you know. They you know over over overstate this. Then or be a victim or anything but I do think that. Republicans just think Democrats are wrong and well I think a lot of isn't everybody but I think a lot of Democrats you know just think that we're bad or you know."
" I may I don't think yeah I did he wait evil I -- you know I mean yeah baby if you read to the other things -- it's funny because there is this double standard out there both radio and television. You know if I -- to say. My 530 radio stations are right here on the Fox News Channel half the stuff. That liberals say about me lies told on a regular basis and I don't really pay attention to it because I don't care. -- I would -- probably thrown off the air targeted for boycotts. It's like this is how they -- the liberals say -- like free speech but I want to -- everybody fairness doctrine included anybody they disagree with the."
" You know I think you're right about that the fairness doctrine is is a very dangerous thing means one of the reasons why I'm -- I want McCain to get -- But but I just think that you know say it's. It's such a minority in Hollywood that they're just I mean they've just shocked to see that that I'm I've become a Republican and that. And that I'm actually admitting that yeah and I don't think it's certainly for this election I don't think McCain is it."
" That far right you have truly amazing. What's really amazing. Thank you for asking Sean that I find out I would call a huge area get to makes everybody but what's really -- don't -- Jerry is just Jerry wants me to make it clear that I speak for only myself not. But I know conservatives who've had how many -- ill the last twentieth one of the 28 last when he hears of the presidency. And the number of last you know twelve of the last eighteen years or so of that of the house and senate. Keep playing the victim as though -- put the -- out what you got you guys been running everything in this country and I would say into the ground for the last number of years."
" But Al I'm really not saying that we're a victim I mean I Hollywood actually exists it you know pure capitalism. If our American Carol which opens on October 3 is a hit. Then you know it it and then everybody will will love me if if it isn't you know I'll just I'll have -- able to -- its funny not because that's left or right probably exactly it felt that if it's entertaining right. Absolutely it just you know it's funny it's entertaining every I think cell and -- it will totally succeed or fail on that basis and I'm looking forward to it. I thank our very much thank you ask for would appreciate you being with a statement thanks very much."
