Obama has a dream a dream from this.

That -- sins of colonialism in recent bright and America and -- downsized.

At all.

He has helped make hit movies like Jurassic Park and minority report but his new film about President Obama is already being criticized by the Hollywood left.

As quote feature -- Obama hate even though it hasn't come out yet and they hadn't seen it.

Poses the question if President Obama wins a second term where will America be here to answer is co writer and director of 2016 Obama's America and author.

Of the book Obama's America on -- -- the American dream.

Dinesh D'Souza weren't whining your producer who's been Hollywood -- longtime -- with a bunch of really big movies.

Is he surprised that those on the left.

Have taken such shots at him over this movie -- he's the you know he's a longtime partner Steven Spielberg and he's got Academy Awards.

And I think he's a little bit.

Taken aback not just that Hollywood is liberal I think he knows -- -- continued but the intolerance to sort of the attitude that's actually tougher on young filmmakers were trying to get -- start.

Great there is quite a double standard is absolutely no kid took a little bit about your book.

And it's called sweet sixteen because what -- Obama's America.

What would the country look like at the conclusion of a second term.

Well the thing about Obama to realize he's not a traditional Democrat.

I almost think of him -- is it's almost as if America is the lakers and we've hired a coach.

And the coach is calling plays.

For the team to lose one well not because Obama hates America not because he's a traitor.

He thinks it's good for America to have -- smaller economy.

And a more modest role in the world so he is actively pulling back America's influence in the world.

In a way Obama is a global redistribution.

He wants America to have less so other countries can have more.

But the thing about it you there's only one superpower right now and because we are superpower were able to help other countries if we reduced our footprint around the world.

You would think that we wouldn't be able to do as much good exactly so the hidden assumption here is that America is a force for good in the world and that's been something that traditionally Republicans and Democrats both believe.

I think Obama comes out of a tradition that is left that is anti colonial that sees America as a force for oppression.

In the world that's -- he did the apology tour member I know that you've written a number of books about President Obama.

Weird that it if he does want to reduce our footprint around the world.

Where's it come from.

Well I think his ideology traces back to his father was an anti -- -- but he has been tutored in that ideology by a number of what I call Obama's founding fathers he's had a whole bunch of guys throughout his career.

That have educated and Frank Marshall Davis -- Communist in Hawaii.

His professors at Columbia and Harvard Law School very radical.

And then -- later on a guy like bill -- -- this is a domestic terrorist Obama's close buddy for about a decade.

So -- that hanging out -- -- -- with the crowd that sees America.

As a bad guy in the world right you can read all about it in Obama's America also go to the movie 2016 Obama's America.

How do you find them.

The movie is -- about a hundred theaters it's going to several hundred theaters I think by the time of the Republican Convention it will be all over to see the movie but at what the book also lays out chapter and -- so what we're going all right Dinesh D'Souza thank you sir for joining us live.
