Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Stays Out of Politics — and Gets Attacked for It
At 1:31:20 · chapter starts 1:29:15
Kelly plays a clip of Governor J.B. Pritzker calling Trump demented before pivoting to a lighter story: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson publicly declaring he wants to keep his politics out of his art, saying 'the main thing for me is creating.' Kelly and Finnerty both approve — they argue this is exactly what the right has been asking of Hollywood for years: just let us enjoy you without knowing whether you hate us. But the left will not allow it. George Takei and Wil Wheaton — the latter famous as a child actor in Stand By Me — have publicly attacked Johnson as a coward for the stance. Finnerty notes that The Rock has a live-action Moana coming out July 10th and that 'Republicans go to movies too,' suggesting the business logic is obvious. He then offers Johnny Carson's 30-year late-night dominance as the definitive proof that political neutrality is a winning long-term strategy — and contrasts it with the self-destructive partisan branding of today's hosts and actors like George Clooney and Ben Affleck.
