>> WHAT HAPPENS IN A SCENARIO WHEN THERE IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF
SOMEONE CONTRACTING A DEADLY DISEASE, LIKE HIV, AND PEOPLE
CHEER ABOUT IT?
THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED IN SASHA BARON COHEN'S
NEWEST MOVIE, CALLED THE
BROTHERS GRIMSBY.
IN THE FILM THERE IS THAT SUBPLOT
INVOLVING DONALD TRUMP GETTING HIV.
APPARENTLY PEOPLE APPLAUDED
IT.
ACCORDING TO SASHA BARON COHEN HIMSELF: I HATE DONALD
TRUMP AND I THINK I HAVE BEEN
CLEAR ABOUT THAT ON THE SHOW.
I DON'T THINK IT'S OKAY TO BE
HAPPY ABOUT SOMEONE GETTING ANY TYPE OF DEADLY DISEASE.
IT'S NOT
GOOD TO WISH ILL UPON OTHER PEOPLE WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR
HEALTH.
IT GIVES ME A VERY NEGATIVE REACTION.
>>WHAT A LIB.
>> I KNOW.
DONALD TRUMP HAS CREATED THIS ATMOSPHERE OF HATE.
WHAT HAPPENS, HATE READS HATE, RIGHT?
I AM NOT GIVING THEM
EXCUSES OR A PASS, I THINK IT IS
UNACCEPTABLE.
>> I GUESS IT'S CALLED BLOWBACK.
HE DOESN'T ACTUALLY HAVE AIDS, AS FAR AS WE KNOW.
>>YEAH, IT'S A MOVIE.
>> YES YOU ARE ALLOWED TO JOKE ABOUT THAT IN A MOVIE,
ESPECIALLY SASHA BARON COHEN
MOVIES.
HE SPENT A THIRD OF HIS MOVIE WHERE HE HAD HIS BALLS ON
THE GUYS FACE AND HE WOULDN'T
GET UP.
SASHA BARON COHEN IS A WONDERFUL GUY, HE IS THE ONE
THAT ALONG WITH HIS WIFE GAVE $1
MILLION TO SYRIAN REFUGEES.
HE SATIRIZES THE UGLY PARTS OF LIFE
IN THE WORLD SO THAT WE CAN ALL LAUGH ABOUT IT AND NOT ACTUALLY
DO IT.
THAT IS WHY ONE OF HIS MOVIES ñ YOU REMEMBER IN BORAT
HE WENT DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND HE STARTED SINGING MY COUNTRY HAS A
PROBLEM, IT'S THE JEW.
AND THEY ARE STILL CLAPPING.
AND THEN THEY START SINGING THROW THE JEW DOWN THE WELL.
THAT WAS HIM PRANKING THE AUDIENCE IN A BAR.
BUT NOW DONALD TRUMP WHO
LITERALLY OVER AND OVER AGAIN
GOES ON TV AND SAYS OUR COUNTRY HAS A PROBLEM, IT'S THE MUSLIMS.
HE DOES EVERYTHING BUT SAY THROW THE MUSLIMS DOWN THE WELL.
>>HE EXPLOITS THAT FEAR AND PARANOIA, THAT RACISM AND
XENOPHOBIA OF AMERICANS.
THAT IS WHAT IS MAKING HIM SO SUCCESSFUL
IN THE PRIMARIES, WHICH IS DEVASTATING.
>> SASHA BARON COHEN DOES THE OPPOSITE.
>> MAYBE I SHOULD FIND THIS FUNNY?
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF IT?
>> I DON'T KNOW THE CONTEXT OF THE JOKE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS
FUNNY OR NOT FUNNY.
BUT IN TERMS
OF PEOPLE APPLAUDING, OF COURSE NOT.
