" My PC line WDJ okay. One of the most exciting things that has happened this week is a hilarious new movies coming out called an American Carol. And enforcing because much else -- I missed the the the first show of it. And but he would say it's it's getting rave reviews here. From the the attendees of the Republican national convention you may have seen some of the -- the trailers for recently. To liberate all the troops home thank you boy. Hello and stuff for him right from the angle of breaking did he heard me now. I am general George S parent. We'll explain a -- or determined to. Some sense into day and a spear in front -- I guess enjoys laughing. -- movie Santa. Excuse lessons -- At stake comes an outrageous new comedy."

" Could -- suicide bombers. And all the pretty good on their --"

" Hey end and that's the a trailer for great new movie when the stars of that movie is sitting -- fun to -- Jon -- it's John it is that the real daddy are nice not have to KK is nice it was you -- the movie that I mean every the -- there ranting and raving about you now admittedly Republicans rant and -- you're just in general. But they're real -- the -- this movie is that it is -- down flat out hilarious. What is David -- civilians there airplane and again this you know scary movie went 23 -- whenever right. I know I'm I'm just trying to have lived as a movie buff my whole life the China I cannot looking out seeing a lieutenant Milo -- binder. I can't look at you without that's saying -- on Iraq Conway I'm from South Carolina -- pat Conroy and I did a book tour awhile back. And -- all the fantastic movies you've been at -- and -- and I'd not seen transformers and now it's my kids read a town and I was just there killing time in China just zone out for a few minutes. That's an opera. Right there and transformers and even though you're out of your great it's it's nice to be connected to movies just. Is -- is -- so many young people isn't connected that. Generations well and that's. That's exciting -- use you know American Carroll has -- the I don't know what that sentence men and I -- weeks I don't have to usually educated in -- that they -- would be here's a story that we've all discovered in this hero a celebrity and we're talking to Jon -- the new movie when the stars and movie American Carol. -- to see anything. Nobody cares and you say you're a celebrity will just sit there and listen to you as well Jon -- we do it's a leader that's of the movie makes fun -- American."

" You're absolutely you're well the movies that I've seen the movie now because -- We have this screening. Day to go right and kid really is it's a really funny movie and really edgy and crazy and it has actually in the large. And large advertisement. Through these theaters and I says warning this movie and this may be offensive. You know we'll we'll be offensive right do. -- says some Republicans or Democrats at the neo cons. -- suck -- Ireland's future concept. But the men and women more women. -- I think. The native Americans should be okay they should be okay everybody's certainly would hope so that it -- said. It's a -- took him. When you're you've got a call -- crystal and and Kevin Farley Chris is Brothers brother and Kevin Farley is wonderful in this piece. As is everyone -- and and and -- out here with -- and he plays the -- that you -- security he spent -- the Michael -- premise of the movie is -- Michael -- visited by people -- taken to a similar its -- as -- letting -- see things -- politically related trying to -- trying to make money you're trying to pay your -- not and you get a -- we want to make a movie that has a clear. Political bands. That is not the clear political band that we have come to expect from Hollywood did you have any misgivings about making the moving. No I didn't and all. I tell you. I went through that you know when I was I was coming here do you see them from the marches into the night and anywhere guys out there and in the movie is a very -- very funny sequences where Michael Malone played by. By Kevin Farley. And it is trying to make sense since these folks you know write an instant and it's -- wonderfully funny when they're chanting Mac M corporation. These characters animated shows you -- see these guys I just laughed and because it's so accurate for the about it. Anyways I I was. In the late sixties early seventies I was."

" Caught up in hysteria as well I have great regrets about where I was in pushing it back. Changed in turn the clock back and change. The way I -- at that time but. But in many things happened over the course of years. One was the ending of the war and how an -- and how much -- after the -- and shirts saying we took our -- the problem and when we leave everybody's going to come together and hug you know this. -- and of course that didn't have corners there was all this 22 and a half million people -- and Kimberly and and south Vietnam. And in the boat people and thank you you know. The camps sure of that stuff so so when I saw that and I saw those same people just turn their backs and walk away and just celebrate that they. Helped win helped win this battle against the war and and I. You know then we know then then you can look back to you you you know the ho chi Minh said. And that did they weren't going to win the war you're not going to win the war with the guns and bullets were going to win it on the streets in the classrooms attorney and that's exactly what happened so -- that was all you know. Perpetrated by Marxist. -- people say -- and we went along with that we were we went against their own government and our own kids -- troops. Thankfully I didn't do anything against the troops at that time but I haven't regrets about other things meanwhile John McCain was in Hanoi at that time. And suffering. Torture almost daily and and enduring I don't know how right -- I don't know how a man goes through what he went through. And comes out full of idealism and love for humanity and no bitterness. And six public office to help our country I don't know how that happens anyway he's a great make him look."

" not a typical American in my generation a paper cut -- ready to call in late for work and here's John McCain with his amazing story we're talking to Jon -- the new movie is an American Carol. I want to ask I know you've got so make you want to talk to you and appreciate time. I mentioned this idea. That people get upset when you and other people say we're gonna make a movie that has a clear political band that is somewhat to the right vehicle and unresolved I'm so happy did do that. But mostly -- every month a movie comes out with a clear political bent to the left into the Laura -- DC missed his -- anti Iraq War movies. I understand the stand in Hollywood how can it be we're not against politics we're just against. One form of politics and makes no sense from an artistic free expression standpoint you must be an American Idol -- such as my god. Hamper your ability yes it."

" Of course you know I sometimes I think that we you know. We're making swords out in Hollywood to. Stand Marcella who is and we have enough enemies around the world and we don't need to be. Diminishing ourselves and yet those movies go across the world even if they're unsuccessful here sure -- they're used for propaganda against America by. The forces are out there you know and we have many enemies around the world. Of course we know who we're fighting the terrorists in Iraq and all across the right and then -- we got a lot of dangers that we have these. Old vultures looking around to see if America's weakened enough to command like like Russia sitting -- and so anyway it's. It's a very. It's very very important that we change. The course of that and and and Hollywood now will one movie do -- I of course not and and in the movie really is extremely entertaining and anybody who has a sense of humor is going to have a field day. But the but the idea is that which you bring up Israel."

" There's something wrong and -- has not been very very quickly because you gotta go I did stand up -- for six years before I became Republican political consultant and now I do this and I love the fact that Republicans disorders are laughing with. And -- this movie is an example of that he mockery of the McCain campaign of the Obama -- the fact using humor but the question wireless is on though Jon -- the politics what's it like when you -- Angelina get together for thanksgiving dinner and politics comes up."

" Well you know -- I haven't spoken and Jim. My thoughts are with her every day right now. And of course with the twins and so having the twins are healthy and doing well and and this is a remarkable time for that family now who will I see -- on thanksgiving -- I certainly hope so when I'm having. The nieces and nephews in the grand nieces and I'm hoping to have the whole group had spread to and it's like no political debates no arguing no oil sheiks and jobs takeover would have -- people die I would have trouble. Those -- the time but anyway. She's. She has had a an affection for John McCain for some reason that's. And she -- and she said that now I don't know whether she's going to vote for John McCain but we're not quite place she said whoever is most compassionate to. The people in her constituency which. She advocates for refugees obviously you know people. We're focused that way. People she cares about so. And NIE actually adds. Said publicly that she's very much like Cindy McCain actions and McCain has done an awful lot. Four people in Third World countries right women. And you know its suffering people throughout the world has not only just spoken about it she is she's started a foundation and she started a group. -- them America and America. Medical team. And she. Went to 55 countries. And and that's how she actually got her. Her child her youngest child. She was asked my mother -- take two children home one of them clung to her and she said and Cindy now says that she was chosen by this -- young gal. This little baby and needs to go home and Johnson great Jensen who is this little and this is that I -- daughter."

" That horrific. One other thing and -- and McCain have in common they're both. The very attractive women no doubt about it John boy it is a real thrill to have you on the show thanks -- for your time right to make you a great movie American Carol I'm Michael Graham."
