00:00Do you think that President Trump's choices of these three legends to be the envoys for

00:09Hollywood, he assigned Stallone, John Boyd, and Mel Gibson, do you think they could actually

00:18make a difference is the question.

00:20They are the three best he could have ever chosen.

00:23They are exemplars of America at its best, and I'm so excited about his choices because

00:31I feel like the movie industry has been making money, just millions and millions, destroying

00:37the image of America, representing American life in the worst possible ways, and the more

00:44taboos that we break in the films, the more the pictures seem to make.

00:50I mean, whether it's out of space, whether it's dead people or zombies, crazy...

00:56Even the zombie movies are putting us in a bad light.

01:00Oh yeah, and nudes, and I mean everything, the worst things that people can do are shown

01:04now on film, and where I and my family used to go to a movie every Friday night, we didn't

01:12frequent the movie theaters anymore, even though I was making movies, but I never made

01:18a film that wasn't G-rated, and that I wanted my own kids to be able to see, and that used

01:33Walt Disney, is better known than any other name in the world, and we have a musical on

01:38the life and romance, his love story of Walt Disney and all the films he made, he's the

01:44Rocky of show business.

01:46Do you think Walt Disney would look at his company in Hollywood today and be supportive,

01:54or would he be like, damn, would he feel like you?

01:56Walt Disney must be spinning in his grave if there's such a thing, because they announced

02:02they don't want to be known as a family filmmaker, they just want to be a filmmaker and make

02:07money with their movies, and that was not his idea at all, and I think when the play

02:14hits Broadway, it will help.
