Countdown: John Cusack Interview June 20, 2008

[nwest1140]

I'm a REAL big fan of John Cusack. I've watched his movies 15 Times.

[Ritosick]

Кьюсак пиздат)))

[AOAWHATSUP]

Cusack has a point but let's ask the question can you tell any of the last five presidents apart?

[helpdonate1]

mccain is a pinko bastard.

[Slingblade420]

Always liked John. He's a good actor and always seemed like a good guy. It's 2011 now and he was right about one thing, Obama did become president. Was wrong about the change thing though. Just seems like a campaign slogan now, nothing more. I wonder what his opinion of Obama is now.

[Suzaku000]

@Slingblade420

Much like the rest of the 2008 Obama supporters. That we got stabbed in the back, utterly disappointed that he didn't deliver on his campaign promises, and sick and tired of the opposite side holding it over our heads, even though their candidate was senile and his VP candidate ignorant on everything non-Alaska and couldn't find the Middle East on the globe with both hands.

[oneawesomefreak1]

John Cusack is gorgeous and sexy and adorable all at once, and has been since he's been a teen. I love how he's an actour but not a celebrity, and how he embraces the art of cinema. It also helps that he is my dream guy ;D

[GabriellovesSatan]

I love john cusack!! he is so hot!!

[DeeAndDee]

Cusack gives a new meaning to "smoking voice" in this video. Talk about raspy. Very irritating. Overall its a good interview though if you are into his politics.

[taylor22222222]

John McCain is the lowest form of scum to call himself a Republican...ugh, I can't believe he still won in the Arizona primary. I'm not so happy with our current administration as will just about anyone agree, but oh boy was it definitely needed IMO!

[Milkman3177]

...who just gave a satanic death threat to fox news???...john cusak!, good job buddy, im sure all your "peace" speeches really mean something now...John Cusak fairly represents his party

[pierrejoaquin]

Just watched War. Inc. last night. Hey John, props for making a film about corporate greed and it's collusion with the gov't. You really thought "change" would come with Obama?! I hope 2 years later, you realized Bush, MCain & Obama are all one in the same. They are all puppets of the corporations. Obama has expanded everything Bush has implemented. Obama is a brand that was well marketed and promoted and everyone bought it.

[Jillthinkstwice]

I am 16 and I think his very hot !!!

[vickiormindyb]

He's so hot. I just can't understand why he's not married.

Most nice, good, hot men are married.

[SouthernKudzu]

Nice ad John, but the real question is; "Can you tell Obama from Bush?"

[Shelby596]

@SouthernKudzu That is so stupid.

[SouthernKudzu]

@Shelby596 How is that stupid? What has Obama done different from what Bush would have done? He no different.

[taylor22222222]

Well, let's see...he's umm, Black and Democrat HA! :/

[mobspeak]

and good luck is exactly right.. change my ass.. remember what tupac said.. things will never change.. the only thing in the universe that is constant is change.. however the NWO has a different idea of change.. controlled change.. "Order out of chaos" .. everything transforms into something else.. and they are aware of these laws.. so they observe .. and they infiltrate and they control the change.. Obama sold out when he was given his 33rd degree..

[MsAmerican7]

I love You John:-*

[rickengothic]

Hey John Cusack your film 2012 is awesome xD!!

[Jonnah09]

John IS amazing...and all the names in all the holy word in the world

I LUV HIM

[wuzup36i3]

LIKE John Cusack then, and LOVE him NOW !

Go JOHN !  Speak your mind.

He so, Smart.

LOve,

Teri

[JayJA5ON]

Although l live in Australia, l am an american and l think it's sad the way everybody is acting, politics shouldn't be the problem, it should be the solution!

You can see at 6:30 that the faith in politics is lost, on the other hand Obama was gaining the tittle of President before he was the president so l think it's all just a matter of leadership.

[MaryOMackie]

nice john, great job. I agreed all the way up to Obama garbage and the country is going to change. What a crock. Meet the new boss SAME AS THE OLD BOSS.

[DOSkywalkR]

john cusack's voice has aged. he sounds like michael madsen ^^ oh and yes his face is getting bigger. the interesting thing is: you never get to read about these things on wikipedia xD i once asked myself: "why isn't on val kilmer's page that he now is fat?" - but well, just my weird thoughts ^^ brilliant actor by the way. talking about cusack, but kilmer too :D

[lamarridley2]

I Did Not Endorse Either McCain Or Obama As I Was A Ron Paul Supporter But Who I Voted For Is My Business.

[JayJA5ON]

Why did you capitalize all the words in that comment???

[lamarridley2]

I don't know just to be different...i guess.

[darthvader8119]

John Cusak is amazing!

[matchesison]

how about obama sucks too? fuck both of them. make me president, i dont own any companies and wouldnt have shit to gain by war.

[fmc5564]

John Cusack, YOU suck, and because of your bias towards McCain/Palin, I will NOT watch another film of yours. You stink!!!

McCain/Palin 08!

[modestvictor]

I hope Obama wins and I would like to be there when Keith and John file their taxes at the end of the year, and I would like to pick their accountant instead of them picking their accountant out which saves them the most money, and make them pay extra because they love liberalism and the poor and higher taxes and socialism and so on

[dawlfacex]

El oh el. Those guys were probably Democrats that were like, "Lets wave to see if the dumbass waves back." *snicker snicker*

[tigerone1970]

" He would tax the wealthiest of citizens who benefited from Bush's tax cuts... "

It is now all about how many Americans they can get to believe the lies. That is what it is all about.

Only in a world where Osamba bin Laden's brother Safiq has bought out the president's failed oil company, can people be scared by the possibility that Barack Obama is 'a secret muslim'.

Safiq BIN LADEN is an open muslim, and he is the Bush family friend.

[purplegrandma]

To all those who fear Obama's RAISING TAXES. How ignorant can you be? He would tax the wealthiest of citizens who benefited from Bush's tax cuts and those corporations who ship our jobs overseas and pay no taxes. He will cut taxes for the middle and lower middle-class who are the ones really hurting. I can understand your pain-wealthiest Americans. You might have to buy a Lexus and not a BMW. You poor things.

What happened to "what you do to the least among you, you do to me". Remember Him?

[grindhouse14]

I'm so glad John is standing up for what he believes in. I hope more celebrities become politically active. If McCain wins I'm leaving the country.

[kratos1998]

LMFAOOOOO!!!!!

[privateuniverse21]

me too! Serioulsy! Either way, the president is a puppet for the bigger boys-CFR

[NSMDOC]

i used to be blue and red but they are in it together the only way is to replace them all with a new party or vote independant after only a little research it becomes clear that ron paul is the only one telling the truth

[mookielovesgod]

adoption

adoption

adoption

takecare thanks for posting

and I hope John John

Mr Cusack

johnny

gets off the smokes

bye

[mookielovesgod]

I do admire him

and wanted to hear what John had to say here

but constantly spewing hate isn't real growth

permitting either

and the dems have yet to learn this.

maybe I'll vote for bob barr

that would be a riot if he won wouldn't it!

plus, killing a child is wrong

so my moral axis is alil stronger and i'm sure this is whats been polarizing our polictics if anyone had a clue

[mookielovesgod]

is well Bush did that also

No wrong again!

And why can't women kiss in movies...

all a moral issue hollywood is so far from they can't see the hand in front of their face

I was glad the people in Iowa and Texas didnt blame their plight on bush when the disasters hit.

but what do I know?

i'm not paid lots of money!

[mookielovesgod]

Obama will raise the taxes everyone knows this

two by standers not waving to the president doesn't rationalize anything

Hate is NEVER good

regardless

too bad some don't understand this!

I think the movie would of been better to come out in "07" when the conflict over in IraQ was still so unclose to resolving.

and its never wrong to bring down tyrants

with a "Volunteer" military

the celebs answer to the volunteer military

[SunnyDaysRFun]

John John John. It doesn't matter who wins, we are all going to loose our freedoms!

[NickSack688]

As a Veteran of this war John Cusack speaks for us who can't fearing that some retaliation would occur. DillonX I salute you

[cinemaarts]

Cusack is what freedom of speech is all about!

[GurnSi]

USA = Number One? Part 11/12: Nat'lGeog'06 US survey of 18-24yr olds: 41% don't know Amazon is in S.America 34%/24% don't know what NORTHWEST/PORT mean 82% can't ID world's commonest 1st-language from list of 4 89% have no non-USA contacts Europeans know US-50 better 78% have no passport 66% overestimate USA pop. by 1.7-7 times 75% unable to pick world's most populous Muslim land from list where other 3 are non-Muslim 62% speak only 1 language (EU <20%) 60% underestimate China pop. by 2-8 times

[shellezzle1]

I agree, I can't have an intelligent conversation with most Americans. I don't agree with the left but at least John Cusack has a brain, educated himself on the subject, and he has enough intelligence to articulate what he's trying to convey.

[1Peppermint]

Great guy ! Thanks John stay true to yourself , keep on !!!!!!!!!1

[wsoxman]

Why should the average American care what this or other Liberal far left Hollywood $millionaires think? Notice no facts.

Obama supporters seem to not want talk about facts or history. The supporters are like fans that following a popular band around, just because it's popular, not because it has talent. Obama will most likely win AGAIN, because the competition of McCain is lacking.

Two Senators coming from a weak Congress with ratings lower then Bush...the best America has?

[mowriter]

wsoxman: the facts are in the move on ad. Go watch it before you assert there are no facts here.

[greatbroad]

I think it is time for people to make more noise:

We need to become louder, and that is what I am doing. I got my house decorated with 'impeach bush -cheney now' on my window box, with spinning do-dads and stars swinging underneath. I write the local papers, but have never been printed in a USA Today. But I keep trying. My husband and I are driving out to D.C. for Revolution march July 12(meet 9:30am N.E. Corner of Washington Mall.

Come hang out with us!

[videocafeblog]

I wish I could agree with you but here's the problem with that. It's called a PARDON by Bush. Sadly being able to sue them might be the only real recourse if Bush issues pardons for their law breaking. Obama should do the right thing and support the fillibuster because he might not be allowed to do the right thing later even if he'd like to.

[oceanfog]

Kudos to John Cusack for standing up for the right thing!

[leesagrrlgrrl]

Yay John! You really nailed this criminal administration... 'cept you forgot to call 'em "schmucks."

[NastevilsBack]

Nielsen Numbers for Thursday June 19, 2008

[SmokedSausage327]

Yes, RIGHT ON BROTHER! I wonder if Cusack smokes reefer. Lol

[lexrex3]

CATO is not for giving government favors to corporations. That is crony- capitalism and pretty much stands for everything they do not believe in. CATO favors true free -enterprise which we unfortunately do not have. They are against taxing some people and giving it to corporations.

[tones124]

John, thank you for speaking out. I ask that all of you read the Constitution and Bill of Rights and ask yourself "why am I allowing these rights to be taken away from me." If you have children ask yourself "what kind of slaves will be in 20 years and to whom?" Peace

[pushpaka]

RIGHT ON!!!!!

[katiebaby521]

Yes, John Cusack! How very right you are! Glad someone's telling it like it is...

[tiburontito]

this war is a big lie

[ak47watcher]

Another anti-American Hollywood fag!

[asdffd]

John Cusack is awesome.

[ozne64]

to dillonx: tanx for serving on our behalf sir!

and yes i think the least we can do now is bring the rest of you home! and hopefully treat you guys good afterward! not like now were we don't take good care of veterans at all!

[ozne64]

go ahead! all right wings conservatives and repubblicans ect..ect...!go ahead and start attacking john cusack! bad man....bad actor...terrorist appeaser....unpatriotic....ect ect!

but wait,what about the truth?do you think he told the truth?

[DillonX]

This has been one of the worst weeks in Iraq in months.

No, folks, THE SURGE IS NOT WORKING!

BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW.

FROM A VETERAN.

[rclopez1118]

Stick to acting Cusack, or what little acting career you have left will go up in smoke. He has no clue what the heck is going on, like his fellow acting buddies in hollywood, who all live in a fantasy land, pretty much were Olberman lives. What a far left loon.

[LadyArgento]

LMAO! You think John Cusack is far left? John Cusack is mainstream to a democrat. Buddy, you have a lot to learn about the real loons on both sides.

[bestwin255]

Cusack is very fine man!

[jayraskin]

It is hard to find another actor who have been so consistent and has played in so many fine movies over the last 25 years. Cusack is a great artist. He is the Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant of this generation.

[wasy35]

cusack is cooler than i thought.

[Saeedrez]

One thing all democrats, republicans and independents can agree on and that is this administration is utterly incompetent and people (soldiers, iraqi's...) are paying a heavy price while the bad guys are really having a feast.

[rclopez1118]

Hey Saeedrez,...we`re winning in Iraq and were going to stay there. Bad news for Obama!

[hassleoffa]

What are we "winning" what is the "Prize" how to we know we've actually "won" anything.

I've heard that when they can govern themselves then we've won. What if when they're all set up ... governing themselves and the choose to not like us, just like 90% of the world doesn't like us.

I'm sorry I don't see any long term win.

[laurazus]

I agree with you 100? what are we winnig? Irak needs to learn to govern themselves and fight their own wars.

[Saeedrez]

A win would have been to convince iraqi's that US is there to help them to build a better life. I know that was the idea but this administration went in there like a drunken and aggressive teacher to teach high school kids about democracy and started by hitting a insulting everyone (good work Rumsfeld). However gone is gone I think there is some progress and we should use that to build on.

[hassleoffa]

A win would have been to use our military correctly. It's virtually impossible for any force to take and occupy a territory. History is full of it's failures.

If we thought they had WMD's (hahaha like that was real) we could have taken them out laser guided cruise missiles without putting one foot on the ground. You strike and leave.

We " knew " where they were because we had Collin Powel make a fool of himself in the UN with photos of them.

[GreenGoody]

John Cusack still looks great as a older man ;)

Keith Olbermann is the shit! To any person out there that thinks other wise. Open up a book bitch and stop relying on the fascist and propagandistic media to give you your views and insights.

John Cusack along with other celebrities need to step up about the upcoming presidential campaign. Their voice matters also.

[shahcrew]

John Cusack, you are the shit! Budweiser should dedicate an ad to him..

[whatiwasgoingtosay]

Two of my favorite men, right there.

[busherbee]

enuff talk, i need blood!

[p00pl0rd]

FUCK.

YES.

<<3 john cusack

[BKDevious]

At least there's one person besides Michael Moore that truly feels about the war that should never have begun.

Thank goodness for John Cusack.

Great interview by Keith.

[greatbroad]

I would love to see impeachment hearings of Cheney and Bush, as well as Rumsfeld and Rove.

It is so extremely obvious what has been happening, yet Pelosi stupidly shelves impeachment.

[Tremordeth]

ditto

[rechi65]

Cusack rocks.

[mayaluvsmusic]

$2 dollars i want my two dollars!

[spark20]

2 weeks 14 papers, thats 2 dollars!

[mayaluvsmusic]

HAHHAHAH yup! ;)

[MooseOfReason]

Bit raspy. He must have had a lot of interviews.

[peep237]

Re: 7:00 mark: The boy king got a taste of what the real world is going to be like for him. I'd like to give a pat-on-the-back for the two guys who -- despite the boy king's practically begging for a wave back -- refused to wave to him.

And, hey...I love ya both, John Cusack & Keith Olbermann.

[quicksite]

heather, you are by far the most critical component to my daily news intake. You pioneered YouTube news-video clipping (and in so doing supplied John Amato with whole new vaults' worth of daily material!) I just want to thank you for all you do -- You are revitalizing democracy day by day.

[JixMa]

Thanks, man. You're quite right too yourself about the ratings here YouTube about this big-headed (figuratively and quite literally) galoot and windbag, Keith Olbermann and his "good buddy" another big-headed (figuratively and quite literally) galoot and windbag, Tim "Idaho" Russert PotatoHead!

I'll take my negative ratings as a Badge Of Honor because it just means that I said stuff that is true and cuts to the bone. As we all know, the truth often hurts!

[Bobbie72]

JixMa... You're an asshole. Have some respect for the Russert family you stupid prick. Go smoke a firecracker you fucking republican.

[LadyArgento]

Please let Tim Russert rest in peace. People like you who spew hate for the dead give conservatives a bad name. Show some respect for crying out loud.

[jasonlajoie]

"liberal propagandist - the spin he puts on the facts" Can you please make a video showing 'the other side of the story'? Since you claim that we're only getting "one side--his side--of things" When they talk of war profiteering, can you give the 'other side of that story'. I'd love to hear about that please...

[treatyourselftolunch]

Jesus. I don't know what it is about liberals' inferiority complex. If you think you're getting both sides of the story from Olbermann, I truly don't know what to tell you.

I think this is the most corrupt and despicable administration in American history, and I'm outraged by democratic complicity in it. That doesn't change the fact that Olbermann is only paying true respect to one side of the rhetoric. If you can't at least admit that, there's no hope for you...

[jasonlajoie]

Proof that you have a more myopic view than I gave you credit for initially - calling me a "liberal". You have fallen for the propagandist renewal of the word 'liberal'. Before Fox News a liberal was a believer in freedoms/liberty, our civil liberties to be precise. America's founding fathers were ALL liberals. Now people like you go around labeling people liberal whenever you see fit, as if it was a bad thing to believe in freedom.

[jasonlajoie]

I've seem Olbermann make something out of nothing before, like Hillary Clinton mentioning the assassination of Bobby Kennedy as being a suggestion of some sort towards Obama. But in relevance to THIS VIDEO AND ITS TOPIC, there is no spin here. War profiteering is running rampant in Iraq, period. Look up the 'cost plus' no bid contract that Halliburton got in the beginning of all this mess to see what I mean.

[crazydelicious72]

The reviews for his movie are awesome. I'm really excited to see it!! Thanks Cusack! You rock!!

[lifter1204]

Mr. John Cusack is above all a patriot. The assholes at Fox could learn a thing or 2 from this man.

[LysetteOne]

Cusack is intelligent and very well spoken. I will have to seek out that film.
