Matt Damon's new movie you see advertisements for it it's called promised land is essentially an attack on fracking.

That of course is a technique used to extract natural gas from the ground right here in the United States such did you believe the attacks launched in that movie turns out.

Parts of it were funded by Middle Eastern country that wants to keep America dependence on foreign -- home and documentary filmmaker confronted Matt Damon with the facts watch that.

They didn't -- and without the people.

Or -- the Middle Eastern government and -- out.

Really needed any artistic credibility the first thing we were aware that in his nation with the ball good par.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Really.

-- graphic question Salem account mentally or his documentary.

-- nations have to be released on January 22 so Matt Damon is saying he didn't realize that the United Arab Emirates.

Financed his film in part I tell you saw below go.

Yet but that -- -- in that interview he said he's average user and he went to all -- finance meetings.

I mean there's one thing -- Parton and Hollywood in the script and that's the money.

And -- and any bully anybody can write a script anybody can can start moving but getting the money is the real -- in Hollywood you're right.

But what else is controversial here was that question that our viewers just saw came from.

You're videotape but when it.

ITunes put Alex.

That -- view podcast for podcasts.

It was a limb and guess what happened I did that and -- done that and Apple Store here and so apple recorded it and sent free on my chains.

-- the only piece they added it was my inconvenient question to Matt Damon.

So iTunes -- censoring.

I'm protecting Hollywood stars from awkward an inconvenient questions.

Matt -- is making promised he's that's not the fracking movie.

He's taking -- staff and fair -- don't but I think it's time from the -- on the -- questions I don't think Apple's you're paying playing wing man.

I'm protecting these these Hollywood you know millionaires and celebrities sure -- difficult questions.

It no doubt about it it is very it's a hit job on -- and -- I know that you once saw the film it's supposed to documentary called ghastly deaths in famously that's -- where the guy goes to the faucet.

And he lights his water on fire but as you -- as you well know.

The water in that town.

What would light up.

Going back to the 1930s decades before they started -- there three times in America called burning spring -- avenues for Americans you could like your water in America for centuries long before -- -- -- a lot of gas that in their summits in the water some looks in the rock.

It's all over the place so that that was a big mess that was of some big lie accident that fracking causes you wanted to go on fire not why we're making our documentary.

-- nation was when he takes -- -- From these myths and say get them off the table so where can people see your document all the way it's gonna be on mark Cuban's here access TV channel on January 22 at 9 PM eastern.

It's it's great to get on TV it's going to be problem -- -- What -- what's -- flip side of the story that it's brought economic wealth to North Dakota and other states that have done I'm Pennsylvania New York that's -- -- Pennsylvania -- Ohio anywhere in America where this fracking has been no recession.

But also that the that the real flip side is that it's not about the environment the -- that's the thing you want to note is it I believe it's not -- in -- but that's that's not a belief has been a million -- fact in America since 1947.

And not one proven kiss of polluting water.

That -- -- no scientific peer review proof that it ever polluted water anywhere in America.

Yes it brings economic benefits the economic benefits are irrelevant if it's gonna promised that -- water.

It just doesn't and I think people needy people he dumbed down -- -- a lot of people.

Conservatives Republicans Democrats all to -- -- but the water and I'm.

-- -- hopping IB study of after a year and a half and I can city it has never pollute the water sea and in so many people have bought the lie that that fire water that they saw in gas -- was real caused by fracking.

And now you're out to you talk let me talk to -- -- Not much happening right here when I was younger you collect the water that was a big party friction but you know this is a good Democrat Pennsylvania and not much happened -- they let the water it's fun thing that of the that you -- since the -- -- -- decades before -- -- the other side of the story is going to be your documentary -- nation chicken out on January 22 -- then I should -- much.
