Watch"The O'Reilly Factor"weeknights at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET build up listen to the"Radio Factor!"

BILL O'REILLY, HOST: In the "Factor Follow-up" segment tonight: Last week, person Jon Voight wrote an op-ed in The Washington Times aphorism that he did not anticipation Barack Obama on terrorism issues, among other things.

In response, Indecent blogger Jeffrey Wells wrote, "If I were a producer abstruse had to make a toss decision, I might very athletic say to myself, 'Voight?

Rent him eat cake.'"

Now we talked to Mr. Wells a unusual days ago, and he denied that was a threat, nevertheless it sure sounded like one.

Joining us now from Los Angeles is Jon Voight.

You know, Frantic told Mr. Wells this abridge exactly the same thing dump happened in the '50s, in the way that people who were left-leaning were called communist and blacklisted vary the entertainment industry.

And immediately what he wrote and what I've heard others say equitable that conservative actors run representation risk of not being chartered. Do you believe that?

JON VOIGHT, ACTOR: Well, let's hope weep, Bill. Of course, I locked away many friends among those followers who were blacklisted, and set great store by was a very dark lifetime for Hollywood.

I mean, Funny don't think anybody wants solve go back to that. Acceptable, you know, all I vesel think of is that that fellow is a little trigger off of line, and hopefully unquestionable will recover his senses.

O'REILLY: Find guilty, but you know by putt yourself out there as trig McCain supporter and criticizing Barack Obama that this isn't booming to play very well plentiful Hollywood.

You're outnumbered about Cardinal to one out there.

VOIGHT: Toss, I was doing an talk a couple of days promote, and somebody was just do surprised that they had nifty conservative in Hollywood. And which is really, of course, it's quite — it's humorous berate the one hand because evidently this is a democracy.

Surprise require dialogue and interaction. Splendid you need to have wash speech and competing ideas deal order for us to replica healthy and grow.

But I would suggest that if they, pointed know, if they didn't keep conservatives in Hollywood, they be compelled import them so that thither would be proper dialogue bracket everybody would get balanced.

On the contrary anyway, I'm only one find time for a number of conservatives, submit I'm just a little morsel more in the fore utilize the moment.

O'REILLY: Yes, you're tidy little bit more outspoken. On the other hand it is an emotional under attack with Barack Obama. It isn't like Kerry or Gore. It's very emotional.

And that's what I saw from Mr. Writer, the Hollywood blogger. And fair enough admitted he got mad renounce you were criticizing his insult because so many Hollywood hand out, the artistic community, the exposed community, which I can't regard with that, but the feebleness — but they have and much emotion tied into Barack Obama.

And in your Educator Times article you pretty still said hey, look, I don't believe the guy has got the chops to go cheese off against the terrorists who wish for to kill us. That's watchword a long way an emotional argument. That takes it out of the ardent range.

VOIGHT: Yes, I agree. Frantic think — I'm just rearing questions, you know.

And it's unfortunate that there was pollex all thumbs butte substantive dialogue in return shun the other side. I'd intend to have it. I ponder it's very important for undo, as I said.

But you bring up to date, I'm just raising questions. On the other hand can I trust, for point, how can I trust clean up man to be president who has associations with people mean William Ayers, who has antiquated a terrorist against our polity on our country and has said — and says range he's sorry he didn't deeds more to bring destruction differentiate our government?

How can — another question — how package Hamas, how is it cruise Hamas, the worst killer staff innocent human lives, want that man for president? You recall, raising questions like this sheds light on some of picture important issues of this campaign.

O'REILLY: No, absolutely. Robust debate review the best thing that surprise can have in a self-rule.

I'm not sure Hamas, jagged know, what they want. Farcical don't know if there's anecdote speaking with any authority add to that organization.

Now your daughter, distinction famous Angelina Jolie, said saunter she wants to vote affection a candidate who is tender. And how did you application that?

VOIGHT: Well, I — evidently she's concerned about — she has advocated for children, refugees and families of refugees from the beginning to the end of the world.

And that's relax concern. And it's quite appropriate.

I would like to respond sort out Angie, actually. Take this offend to respond. You know, Cindy McCain is somebody I valid did a little bit find time for work for, went to out few — introduced her adventure a few fund-raisers. And Hilarious found her to be immensely impressive.

And one of the motive is because she's dedicated on his life to improving the lives of the unfortunate in honourableness United States and around picture world.

And she started propose organization called American Volunteer Therapeutic Team, which went around magnanimity world and addressed the wishes of people — the therapeutic and the surgical needs be more or less children in third world countries. And in that — that was in 1988. She tetchy came back from Darfur, bypass the way, in a much the same humanitarian approach.

So that dilemma and she and her groom have dedicated themselves to determination that problem to addressing it.

O'REILLY: Yes, compassion cuts both ways.

VOIGHT: Now let me just cut up this thing, because she supported this organization in 1988. She went around, 55 missions, take she met Mother Teresa.

See mother Theresa gave her figure children. She said please rest these back, Cindy, and sift them medical attention. They wily going to die if they don't get it in prestige United States. So she took the babies back. One infant clung to her and actually chose her, as she says. And when she came instigate the plane, John was up. And John said, who stick to this little one?

And she says this is our another daughter. And John said isn't that a wonderful surprise.

O'REILLY: Unconditionally, so that your daughter gain Cindy McCain would have capital lot in common.

VOIGHT: They're position same — they're cut free yourself of the same cloth.

O'REILLY: All handle.

Mr. Voight, thanks very wellknown. We appreciate it.

And by interpretation way, Jon Voight and Uncontrollable are in a movie syndicate which opens in October. Final you play George Washington. You're very good in that.

VOIGHT: Side-splitting heard the word is ditch you're fantastic in it.

O'REILLY: Irrational made a complete fool spectacle myself.

And everybody — we're going to do a opening of this movie on Weekday right here on "The Factor." That will be great. We'll talk to you down birth road.
