Welcome back to legendary actor Clint Eastwood you remember him from die hard.

Endorse Mitt Romney for president -- -- might laughs when I get excited over stuff like this after all I often wish that let these celebrities would stay out of politics.

So I think my excitement over -- makes me -- hypocrite.

Not really -- writing celebrities are different if -- need a politically active celebrity nine times out of ten they're to the left of Hugo Chavez.

And if he needed apolitical celebrity -- times -- and they'll just parent the liberal line.

That's because when asked about it cause it just can't shrug they must play the role or end up losing rolls.

Later so that leaves a tiny group of -- types who aren't afraid of losing work by expressing views.

That are branded evil and Hollywood so my excitement over writings ready -- is really a recognition.

Of guts.

And yeah I realize -- political outspoken this came much later in his career.

Knowing that actors lose work over things they say perhaps Clinton realizes he's got -- less to lose at this point.

But let these stars -- nothing.

Ever in fact they gain from their political views job wise to the next time some young star.

Lies about how fracking causes breast cancer realize it's only for his career because the -- latter has now replaced the casting out.

Which means they can now screw the whole country at once.

Barry and thought provoking or -- -- -- -- security speaking in Clint Eastwood endorsement -- a little or alive.

Love this -- -- but -- think it shows courage people respect -- it doesn't matter what side of the political fence you're on this is a man -- innovator.

He's somebody who has done a lot to be content opinion makes great movies great actor.

He's got a lot of credibility why not that's grand Serena they Bobby why do you.

Action heroes.

Always be like -- except north Stallone Arnold Schwarzenegger Clint Eastwood -- tops out Bruce Willis Kevin several there's not -- -- among them why they always the.

-- I -- -- up people who who endorsed and some conservative candidates which has -- legitimate you've got Gary Sydney's and my brother for that extra and -- and is sure that in Hollywood look it is it is a place that is full of a lot of liberals I mean it is that's just a reality its like look at it that you know upper east side of Manhattan that they tend to gather together and I.

But I don't I don't think I haven't heard somebody you've lost their job.

Because they've said something that was politically to the right.

I mean Glendale -- it and it got wrapped up their eyes and in -- Jon Voight.

He's comes around here quite a -- sit down talk to me says.

Because of his political leaning to the right he'd lose his jobs he's not even considered for parole because and it's like testing counseling -- I.

I would I would do that this consider the source and -- influences.

What are you trying to say but I gotta say is it yourself is a -- taking it taking his word that he's lost jobs I season a lot of things.

You tend to take Harry Reid's work for everything idyllic going any dead Andrea yeah I anybody's Angelina Jolie you almost have to wait until your -- -- ecstatic about say you are like Jon -- but John -- ID no he was conservative until maybe five or six years ago.

Does that just speak I mean does that prove that you have to wait until.

It doesn't matter anymore yet that and -- become really really rich yes and -- they start to realize wait a minute.

I don't think of liberal things working out and we talked about James -- -- yeah yeah -- father but let's all the names that you lifted -- truce will lead us to look.

Movement alpha males they're all alpha male and but -- will outlast us that -- -- -- -- -- to surprise your brother hasn't told me is that there's a blacklist if you're conservative in Hollywood you are literally black -- not it's not even hit.

They're they're not afraid I.

At -- and two was used as we -- never heard that but may I ask you -- some might ask them let's.
