  • LEONARDO DICAPRIO FINALLY WON AN OSCAR FOR BEST LEADING

  • ACTOR, BUT THE POINT OF HIM WINNING THAT AWARD DOESN'T

  • REALLY MATTER TO ME.

  • WHAT MATTERS IS THE SPEECH THAT HE GAVE WHEN HE ACCEPTED

  • THE AWARD.

  • LEONARDO DICAPRIO IS KNOWN FOR GIVING POLITICAL STATEMENTS

  • WHEN HE IS ACCEPTING AWARDS, AND THIS WAS NO EXCEPTION.

  • HE USED THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT CLIMATE

  • CHANGE, SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF OUR POLITICIANS DON'T EVEN

  • DISCUSSED DURING THIS ELECTION SEASON.

  • . WHAT HE HAD TO SAY, "MAKING THE REVENANT WAS ABOUT

  • MAN'S RELATIONSHIP TO THE NATURAL WORLD.

  • A WORLD THAT WE GLADLY FELT IN 2015

  • AS THE HOTTEST YEAR IN RECORDED HISTORY.

  • OUR PRODUCTION NEEDED TO MOVE THE SOUTHERN TIP OF THIS

  • PLANET JUST ILL-DEFINED SELF.

  • CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, IT IS

  • THE MOST URGENT THREAT FACING OUR ENTIRE SPECIES, AND WE NEED

  • TO WORK COLLECTIVELY TOGETHER AND STOP PROCRASTINATING.

  • NEED TO SUPPORT LEADERS AROUND THE WORLD WHO DO NOT SPEAK FOR

  • THE BIG POLLUTERS, BUT FOR ñ BUT

  • WHO SPEAK FOR ALL OF HUMANITY." HE IS HOT, WHAT A STUD.

  • >> I LOVE IT.

  • IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT IS ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME,

  • OFTENTIMES QUITE LITERALLY.

  • YOU CAN EITHER USE IT TO THANK YOUR AGENT ñ

  • AND HE DRANK PLENTY OF PEOPLE ñ

  • OR YOU CAN USE IT FOR SOMETHING POSITIVE IN THE WORLD.

  • THAT DRIVES CONSERVATIVES CRAZY, BECAUSE I DON'T AGREE WITH HIM,

  • BUT IF GARY SINISE OR KELSEY

  • GRAMMAR, OR JOHN VOIGHT, I THINK THOSE ARE LITERALLY THE

  • THREE CONSERVATIVE ACTORS IN ALL OF HOLLYWOOD, HAD USE THAT

  • OPPORTUNITY TO GO ON A CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS, THEY

  • WOULD HAVE LOVED IT.

  • THEY MIGHT HAVE MADE HIM PRESIDENT.

  • RONALD REAGAN WAS OF COURSE AN ACTOR, AND WAS ONE OF THE FIRST

  • CONCERT ñ ONE OF THE FEW CONSERVATIVES, AND THEY DID MAKE

  • THEM PRESIDENT.

  • HE IS ACTUALLY BEING TOO KIND TO THEM BY SAYING PROCRASTINATING.

  • >> I WANT TO DISPEL THE NOTION THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT

  • THEY ARE DOING, THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

  • >> THAT'S RIGHT.

  • HE IS SAYING, ENOUGH OF GETTING MONEY FOR THE BIG

  • POLLUTERS, THAT I LOVED.

  • ALSO, THERE WAS A GREAT SPEECH EARLIER IN THE OSCARS TALKING

  • ABOUT GETTING MONEY OUT OF

  • POLITICS.

  • THEY ARE LIKE, LOOK, IT WAS FOR THE WINNERS OF THE BIG

  • SHORT, THE WRITERS OF THE BIG SHORT.

  • THEY SAID, YOU CANNOT FIX THE BANKING PROBLEMS UNTIL YOU

  • FIX THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DONATING TO THE POLITICIANS.

  • I WAS LIKE, YES! YES!

  • THESE ARE ALL OF THE THINGS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT,

  • AND THAT ACTUALLY WOULD HELP THE COUNTRY ENORMOUSLY.

  • FOR THEM TO BE GIVEN THIS GREAT PLATFORM IS WONDERFUL.

  • AND THE RICH AND THE POWERFUL ALREADY HAVE SO MANY PLATFORMS.

  • AND SO, IT IS NOT LIKE LEONARDO DICAPRIO IS NOT RICH.

  • AND FOR HIM TO USE HIS PLATFORM IN THIS CASE, TO BRING OUT

  • A MESSAGE ON BEHALF OF THE POWERLESS, RATHER THAN THE

  • POWERFUL, WAS MOVING AND PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE.

  • >> AND I HAVE TO GIVE HIM CREDIT BECAUSE HE IS NOT A POLITICAL

  • PUNDIT, HE IS NOT SOMEONE WHO

  • HAS TO COMMENT ON THESE THINGS.

  • I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF ACTORS AND ACTRESSES YOU

  • STAY AWAY FROM POLITICAL STATEMENTS BECAUSE IT COULD

  • HARM THEM, OR HEARD THEM IN SOME WAY IN THE FUTURE.

  • THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT LOSING ENDORSEMENTS OR SPONSORS,

  • MAYBE LOSING A CERTAIN ROLES BECAUSE CASTING DIRECTORS

  • DON'T AGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENTS.

  • THAT WHEN THEY MAKE STRONG POLITICAL STATEMENTS LEO

  • DID, YOU HAVE TO GIVE HIM CREDIT.

  • >> I WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND.

  • THE BIG STUDIOS TO RUN HOLLYWOOD ARE NOT LIBERALS, THEY ARE

  • IN A MONEYMAKING BUSINESS.

  • SO HENCE, MORE LIKELY TO BE CONSERVATIVE.

  • BUT THE ACTORS ARE LARGELY LIBERAL.

  • BUT THE ACTORS DON'T HAVE AS BIG A VOICE, AND HAVE AS MUCH

  • POWER AS THE BIG STUDIOS DO.

  • SO AT THE MOMENT, WHEN THEY HAD THAT VOICE, IT IS GREAT TO SEE

  • THEM USE IT FOR THE BENEFIT OF MORE PEOPLE, INSTEAD OF THE

  • POWERFUL.

  • I'M GOING TO GIVE ONE LAST, WHAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE A RANDOM

  • SHOUT OUT, BUT IT IS NOT, IT IS TO TOM HARTMAN, WHO IS THE

  • REALLY STRONG, GREAT, SMART PROGRESSIVE TALK SHOW HOST

  • WHO HAS BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME, AND THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE HE

  • HAS A REALLY GOOD INFLUENCE OVER.

  • ONE IS LEONARDO DICAPRIO ñ

  • >> SHE KNOWS HIM?

  • >> YOU KNOW THEM VERY WELL.

  • >> I LOVE TOM HARTMAN, BUT I WILL REALLY LOVE IF HE

  • GIVES ME LEO'S NUMBER.

  • JUST SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT POLITICS.

  • I'M ALMOST MARRIED.

  • >> I KNOW, BUT YOUR CLIMATE SEEM TO HAVE CHANGED A LITTLE

  • BIT THERE ON TOM HARTMAN.

  • >> I THINK WE KNOW DICAPRIO LEARNED A LOT FROM TOM

  • HARTMAN, HE SAYS SO.

  • AND THEN TOM HARTMAN, EVERY WEEK, USED TO HAVE ONE

  • SENATOR ON.

  • SAME SENATOR, BERNIE SANDERS.

  • OKAY, SO, PEOPLE MADE FUN OF LIBERAL RADIO, NEVER WENT

  • ANYWHERE, NOW AIR AMERICA WAS LIBERAL, YOU PROBABLY DON'T

  • REMEMBER, BUT THE PEOPLE WHO

  • WERE ON THEIR, MARC MARON NUMBER ONE PODCAST, CHUCK D WAS

  • ON THERE.

  • FRANKEN, NOW U.S. SENATOR.

  • BUT THE ONE GUY WHO GETS LEFT OUT, TOM HARTMAN.

  • BUT THAT VOICE IN THE ROOM ñ

  • THAT VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS CREATED A RIPPLE EFFECT,

  • WHICH IS NOW A TIDAL WAVE AS WE STAND NOW.

  • SO DON'T EVER GET DISCOURAGED.

  • AS EVERYONE WAS TALKING DOWN LIBERAL RADIO, ALL THESE

  • DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY SAID, TOM CONTINUED, AND HE WAS A

  • STRONG PROGRESSIVE VOICE, AND IT MADE A DIFFERENCE.

  • MADE A DIFFERENCE MANY YEARS LATER, TOM STILL IS A GREAT

  • SHOW, BUT LOOK AT THE EFFECT SHE HAS HAD WHEN NO ONE WAS LOOKING.
