I am your host, Michael Covel.

Not filtered, raw, honest.

That's my passion.

86-year-old Clint Eastwood.

I want to read some excerpts from a new interview that he's given to Esquire.

Esquire asks him, your characters have become touchstones in the culture, whether it's Reagan invoking, make my day, or now Trump.

I swear he's even practiced your scowl. Eastwood responds,

maybe. But he's on to something because secretly everybody's getting tired of political correctness

kissing up. That's the kiss-ass generation we're in right now. We're really in a pussy generation.

Everybody's walking on eggshells.

We see people accusing people of being a racist and all kinds of stuff.

When I grew up, those things weren't called racist.

And then when I did the movie Grand Tarino, even my associate said,

this is a really good script, but it's politically incorrect.

And I said, good.

Let me read it tonight.

The next morning, I came in and I threw it on his desk and I said, good. Let me read it tonight. The next morning I came in and I threw it on

his desk and I said, we're starting this immediately. Esquire asks, what is the pussy generation?

Eastwood, all these people say, oh, you can't do that and you can't do this and you can't say that.

I guess it's just the times. I implore you to go read the whole interview.
