Well here’s the thing. Uh, apparently Hitler was a pretty bad guy. And on top of killing everyone.

[Jon Stewart]
Uh huh.

[George Clooney] Source: LYBIO.net
He also decided that he would steal all the art in all of Europe.

[Jon Stewart]
Just to go super villain on – right.

[George Clooney]
Just to go super villain – just to really make sure he was schmuck. You know.

[Jon Stewart]
Right.

[George Clooney]
And uh, what he basically was doing, he was stealing – he stole 6 million pieces of art some of the most important pieces of art in our history. And was building a giant museum to put it in, and he was hiding it in salt mines all across Austria. But he was also destroying [a lot of them]. He burned a lot of Picasso’s and he burned a lot of Salvador Dali’s because he called it degenerate art. He was basically trying to end the culture of these people that he already killed.

[Jon Stewart]
Right, right, right.

[George Clooney]
He was trying to say; he didn’t just exist. You didn’t exist. And that was why these men were brought on board.

[Jon Stewart]
So this was system – this also a systematized, really.

[George Clooney]
Systematic. Ya, they started – he – he started back in the late 30′s going into – sending guys into France, going, we just like to take a look at your museum. And then would register all of the art from all of the museums in France.

[Jon Stewart]
Did it have something to do with, you know, there was always, and maybe this is apocryphal, that he was ultimately a failed artist. That he was a painter that never got –

[George Clooney]
No, it’s true –

[Jon Stewart]
His due and this whole thing could of been avoided -

[George Clooney]
Had he –

[Jon Stewart]
- if people were like: “No, I like it.”

[George Clooney]
That’s uh

Do you know

[Jon Stewart]
That’s uh – that’s a beautiful sunset. Nice, job.

[George Clooney]
There was literally, I think there were three [guys] artists uh, that were trying to get into this Austrian, you know, art school.

[Jon Stewart]
Right.

[George Clooney]
And two of them got in and Hitler didn’t and you know I think it – it would of been better if he got in art school.

[Jon Stewart]
Can I tell you what the thing [is], he probably – his grades were probably good – it was – I’m sure it was the interview.

[Jon Stewart]
I’m sure it was.

[George Clooney]
It’s just that whole look.

[Jon Stewart]
He went in there and they were like what kind of art and he’s like: STILL LIFE! You know – Alright, I gotta get out of here.

[George Clooney]
Yeah.

[Jon Stewart]
I gotta get out of here – your not.
