REDFORD: I think going in was not a wrong issue to debate. I don‘t like the way we did it because it involved too much misinformation and distorted information to justify some I think narrower cause than we were led to believe. But that‘s just my belief.

I do think there was a reason to go in and take the guy out. I think there was another way we might have done it. But I‘m not a military man. I‘m not part of the military industrial complex. I‘m not in office, so I don‘t feel comfortable talking too much more on that. That‘s just my personal opinion.

MATTHEWS: You seem like a man who is to my right.

REDFORD: I‘m to your right?

MATTHEWS: You‘re further right than me on this issue, I think.

REDFORD: I am?

MATTHEWS: Yes.

REDFORD: Wow.

MATTHEWS: Do you want to reconsider that thought?

(LAUGHTER)

REDFORD: Well, I‘m feeling kind of broad-shouldered. Hey.

(LAUGHTER)

REDFORD: I feel like a real egalitarian.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: Do you accept—there was a very strong message in the president‘s inaugural address, which I think I can explain in a minute to anybody in the world. He said something that is going to really cause people like me, everybody watching, to think about for months and years to come.

He said that we‘re not free in our liberty here in this country if there‘s parts of the world like in—he was obviously talking about the Arab world—where people are not free. Do you buy that argument, that we have to liberate or try to liberate every country in the Middle East or we will not be safe from terrorists?

REDFORD: I think we can certainly play a role, because that‘s our fundamental belief, that we should.

If anybody is being squelched from being able to have freedoms—I mean, there‘s nothing more valuable than the freedoms we have in this country. Where I get most riled is when it looks like they‘re endangered by our own people. So to take that—and I think they are, quite frankly. And the distortion, the trying to manipulate information, to shutting down opposing points of view, what is more fundamental to the American Constitution than dissent? And when dissent is classified or reclassified as unpatriotic, you have a problem.
