" And and now what tell us about American and American carefully -- seems like you've got to sort of a who's who of what little good bit of conservative Hollywood there is."
" Yet in the -- we are only as. -- minority 120%. Be made and leave me out is that people we knew where conservatives and it is that tired but -- to take up Chris -- that it happened right before Christmas -- night before fourth of July. And our -- is made -- controversial. Documentary filmmaker who -- America all over the world a little little late -- he is then renamed him Michael -- well. And I think he would slate."

" So why it was our view what what Q what sorts of reactions have you been getting from the liberal establishment and Hollywood."
" Well they haven't reacted too much we kept it under their radar for a long time because let people -- what -- begin at reporters on the set except one from the weekly standard. So we."
" Which which no liberal Hollywood is ever going to see their story anyway."
" Com when it did leak out what we were doing erect LA times lark and the title of that was. -- Republicans are in eighty. Now this is Los Angeles where David has lived for thirty years and I've read for twenty years in wearing AT and I mean what are we alien."
" And we're republic. The wonder whether circulation is right right."
" So you're invading your -- I think -- I issued by counting on a real great review from the New York Times is that right out of our cycle of co writer of an American Carol."

We are reaching out Q are are the other 50% of the country who agrees with -- I'm asking him to come on opening week and October 3 because it's well and that's how it's at.

And the -- conservative actor -- like it is now. If -- soon see you know the other person Nick Greisen. "
" Yet. Yet the the again as you say that country's pretty much split right down the middle 5050 right and if anything you'd you would think that they want to keep their mouth shut justice sort of I have some kind of crossover appeal. To that other half of the nation."
" Well it was interesting that last year there were so many movies that came out that word in American and anti military. And they act it's expected it -- star. Tom Cruise Merrill Streep proper record. But Americans when there used to write wonderful reviews. Absolutely from the mainstream media but when they went into -- nobody what he. So that was very interesting to act. So. We he hoped that the other 50%. That really cared about. You know the positive things about America will come out to our movies and so that there's a market for this because you know Hollywood understands the box."

We want -- some young actors and your agent and lawyer told them not to do. -- something with an -- with a chance to work with David -- and they were so concerned with the conservative movies that they wanted to do it."
" Correct some older guy who used to be a used to be a Communist or Communist sympathizer back in the early fifties and is still around now and he says that this blacklist that they've got going now. Is sort of an informal blacklist recent it's worse than it was in the fifties because in the fifties they were just doing it because. It was a business decision now they really hate."
" Right it's an agenda driven thing is. It's that's why eight that. When they said we religion eating I mean if they feel this is their turf. And they can make in movies statewide and they would stabilize but how dare we make a movie in me things like. America is great and the truth they're great."
