00:00He's gone after Greenland, he's gone after the Panama Canal, but now President Donald

00:07Trump is focusing all of his attention, all of his wrath, on...

00:11Facts are now negotiated.

00:12George?

00:13Yes, George.

00:14So George Clooney was on 60 Minutes and he trashed Donald Trump, sort of slightly, in

00:21where we are in the current political landscape.

00:24While promoting his Broadway play Good Night and Good Luck about journalist Edward R. Murrow,

00:28a fierce critic of Senator Joe McCarthy and the Red Scare of the 1950s, his reporting

00:33helped bring down McCarthy.

00:35Although McCarthy would try to pose things, he'd show up with a blank piece of paper and

00:38say, I've got a list of names, okay.

00:40So that was his version of fake news.

00:44We now are at a place where we've found that it's harder and harder and harder to discern

00:50the truth.

00:51If you speak out against the president, you're basically getting shut down and the media

00:54is the last line of defense.

00:55That was his whole point, right?

00:56I think what he's saying is we are right up against that division between autocracy

01:02and democracy.

01:03And Donald Trump took notice.

01:04He called George a second-rate movie star, quote-unquote, and a failed political pundit.

01:10He's just unbelievable.

01:11It is hard for Donald Trump to come up with an insult about George Clooney.

01:15It's kind of challenging.

01:16And if you listen close, you'll probably hear George Clooney not given a damn.

01:20But how about this play, huh?

01:21It's weird to go on 60 Minutes to promote a Broadway show.

01:24Oh my God, it's huge.

01:26The crowds outside the theater every night for a show, massive.

01:28And let me guess, the average age is a 60 Minutes watcher?

01:31When they hear tick, tick, tick, they mean that's me.
