Justify This: A Career Without Compromise
Why is Hollywood—and the entertainment industry in general—so monolithically left-wing? How did this happen? Why are we at this point? What can we do about it?
The answer? Build a new Hollywood.
With apologies to Ronald Reagan, the most terrifying words in the English language “I’m from Hollywood and I’m here to help.”
The great majority of Americans have an appetite for entertainment outside Hollywood’s left-wing ideology, that at its core America bashing, religious bashing, self-guilt, and an alternative view of a shared history. Americans want entertainment that does not demean them, their beliefs, or their country. Now is the time to change the game from the inside and “build a new Hollywood.”

The author's bravery and sense of humor in expressing his beliefs is awesome. The writer's experiences in entetainment industry revealed much about those involved in show business. Found out about this book on the Sebastian Gorka talk radio show.

Fantastic biography of a Peabody award winner seldom seen in our time
One little known secret I took away from this book: Nick actually sat in for Rush Limbaugh December 27, 2017.

Closer to a 3.5 than a 3. I assume 90% of the people who pick this book up are fans of the tv show Justified. That's me, also. Aside from that, though I've seen Searcy in about a dozen movies he didn't really leave an impact on me in any of them. He's great in Justified though (everybody on that show is fantastic).
So what you get here is probably 65% his career, family, and work. The other 35% was a surprise to me, but Searcy is a hard core Pro-Trump Republican. He writes a lot about that, including his evidence that the January 6th folks were basically framed by the left and are being held by political prisoners and that Hollywood is basically in a new McCarthyism where it's open season on all Republicans. Depending on if you're willing to listen to somebody talk about Trump, Rush Limbaugh, and others with affection will determine how much you can enjoy this book.
For me, I didn't have much of a problem with it as with anything there's two sides to a story and there's always some gray area in between. His January 6th theories definitely made him lose some credibility in my eyes though, if only because of his limited understanding of the criminal justice system which he shared with the confidence of an expert on the subject (sorry Mr. Searcy... let's just say your view from the outside is not entirely accurate).
